In 2008 the 'crush' had a female, Cyrano De Bergerac goes MTV feel to it. This time the real 'Obama Girl' reveals herself and just in time for the POTUS's big acceptance speech.
4-years ago, model Amber Lee Ettinger became famous for lyp-synching the viral video hit "Obama Girl."
In 2012, a new video is performed by Leah Kaufman, the creator and the real voice behind the 'Obama Girl' sensation.
Ettinger has nothing to do with this season's performance. It seems may have let the 25-million page views and celebrity go to her head after she told various news talk shows she was bummed that President Obama did not invite her to the White House.
So now Kaufman comes out of the political crush closet and does it herself. Play the video and enjoy the satire.

Anchee Min
Adult Fiction MIN
Summary: In a sweeping, erotically charged story that moves gracefully from the intimately personal to the great stage of world history, Anchee Min renders a powerful tale of passion, betrayal, and survival and creates a finely nuanced and always ambiguous portrait of one of the most fascinating, and vilified, women of the twentieth century. Madame Mao is almost universally known as the "white-boned demon" -- ambitious, vindictive, and cruel -- whose bid to succeed her husband led to the death of millions. But Min's story begins with a young girl named Yunhe, the unwanted daughter of a concubine who ignored her mother's pleas and refused to have her feet bound. It was the first act of rebellion for this headstrong, beautiful, and charismatic girl. She later fled the miseries of her family life, first to a provincial opera troupe, then to Shanghai and fame as an actress, and finally to the arid, mountainous regions of Yenan, where she fell in love with and married Mao Zedong. The great revolutionary leader proved to be an inattentive husband with a voracious appetite for infidelity, but the couple stayed together through the Communist victory, the disastrous Great Leap Forward, and the chaos of the Cultural Revolution. Min uses the facts of history and her lush, penetrating psychological imagination to take us beyond the myth of the person who so greatly influenced an entire generation of Chinese. The result is a complex portrait of a woman who railed against the confines of her culture, whose deep-seated insecurities propelled her to reinvent herself constantly, and whose ambition was matched only by her ferocious, never-to-be-fulfilled need to be loved. A daring narrative with all the compressed drama and high lyrical poetry of great opera, BECOMING MADAME MAO is the most ambitious and provocative work of Anchee Min's career.

What do you expect the dominant language of the world will be in 50 years?
The dominant rhetoric is that English is the language of business and hence regarded as a somewhat universal language. Given the state of global affairs, do you expect English to remain dominant, or be replaced by something better? If you expect a replacement, which language?

Consider this scenario: The two of you were in a relationship – let's call it dating. In modern lingo that means that you were sleeping together, but you hadn't gotten to the stage where you had made plans to move in together.
Things had heated up so that you were close to the point of thinking about it, but then something happened – the relationship fizzled, he withdrew, and it was time to move on. Your friends were surprised, because it seemed like everything was going well, but it had to happen.
While you both agreed that it was over, there were some hard feelings on your part, because you felt that he had been fine up until the new stage of a commitment reared its ugly head, and he backed off.
Now consider a different situation: You were dating, but after 4 or 5 dates you both realized that the chemistry was not right between you, and that it was time to move on.
While you had shared some good times, and there was nothing particularly bad about your times together, neither was there anything great – the spark just wasn't there. So you reached the mutual decision not to continue dating, and both of you were happy with the decision.
In which scenario would it be more likely that the 2 people involved could remain friends? The answer is that there is no easy answer – it depends. While the first conclusion any logical person might jump to would be that the first couple should stay away from each other and could never be friends, that isn't necessarily the case.
Sometimes when two people have a history that involves shared experiences, intimacy and expectations, and have been successful up to a point, no matter how hard the break-up is, they still feel connected.
After the person who has some negative feelings is able to work through and process what happened, he or she may be able to forgive the other person and see him or her as a possible friend. The very fact that there is a history means that if there is a chance for friendship, it is more likely to happen.
Conversely, the second scenario has two people who share just enough experience to know that they were not meant to be a couple. Some lack of connection, a missing piece in their possible relationship had made them realize what was ineviable.
This same factor might very well be the one that would keep them from being friends, because they would know that there was something lacking in their coming together that being toegther in any way could not change. So being friends would be uncomfortable at the very least, and not a situation either party would want to continue.
Of course, relationships between us humans are never that easy or simple. It's easy to imagine the opposite of the above explanations happening, and it's possible that people who have dated can never be friends no matter how the romantic part ended.
While human nature and findings in psychology demonstrate that we have much in common, everyone is different and feels differently based on their past experiences and learned behaviors associated with them. So it is quite possible for some of us to be friends after dating, and quite impossible for others.

You can deduct Haiti donations this year
Congress gives taxpayers a choice of taking deduction in 2009 or 2010 but you have to itemize.
No good deed ever goes unpunished -- but sometimes you can get a big tax deduction out of it.
Our U.S Congress actually did the right thing, even if they still can't play well with others.
You've got to itemize to get this one. But if you do, your charitable contributions are deductible.
New Rule: Any contributions to earthquake relief in Haiti made between Jan. 11, 2010, and March 1, 2010, will be allowable against your 2009 tax return.
So get out your checkbooks and debit cards. If you don't have any money, get out your bank credit cards and charge the donation. If you don't have any credit, empty out your closets of stuff you didn't even remember you had and have a yard sale.
- Bing: Evaluating charities
Sorry, you can't donate the closet contents directly and get a deduction for 2009. But, if you do, get a receipt and deduct it for 2010.
You have the option to deduct your Haiti earthquake relief contributions for either 2009 or 2010.
- Video: Tax cuts equal jobs, growth
Normally, you'd want to accelerate the deduction into the earliest year to get the tax reduction or cash back now. Alternatively, you might want to wait till 2010 if you expect to be in a higher tax bracket or if your 2009 standard deduction is higher then your 2009 itemized deductions.
In any case, make sure your donations goes to a legitimate charitable organization. Most organizations eligible are listed on the IRS website, www.irs.gov. Look under "Search for Charities."

Chapter 3-A What?
Scarlet's Pov:
The pain soon died down but I felt so numb I could not force my self to get up just yet, I just layed there on the floor looking at Ben, he was stiffer then a rock. I looked down at the ground but I did not want to tear my gaze away from his but I felt like I had to, It killed me inside to look at his perfect face filled with so much pain in his eyes as he felt like he failed me at the moment because here I am hurt.
Ben knelled down beside me and he helped me back up "You okay?" he asked as he examined for any cuts or bruises but I was fine, just numb as a log. It took me all I had in me just to nod and let him know I was fine.
I looked at the girl who was on the floor, the human girl as Ben's arms tightened around me and he held me close to his cold chest, I felt safe and like I belonged somewhere when I was in his arms, I looked down at the dead Vampire's body and sighed and looked at the girl again, who was in tears. I walked to her a bit limp and kneeled down and touched her hand softly.
She looked at me with tears in her eyes as Demetri stood beside her, not doing anything to her like I thought I would seeing as Aro told him he could do what he wanted with the girl. She wrapped her arms round me and hugged me, she was so warm but I was not cold so I was a more normal temperature then the rest of the coven. I felt the tears she cried sink into my hair and trickle down my neck. They felt so warm and salty. I could feel her sorrow as I held her and rubbed her back softly trying to show my kindness and confort her.
Ben looked at us and he smiled softly at us and he sighed softly and stroked my little head and then looked at girl "I am sorry for your loss" he said and she just nodded softly while she wiped her tears.
Bella looked at Aro "What will you do with me?" she asked and swallowed, she looked scared of what was going to happen to her, I looked at him with Bella and wondered what he would say and if he was going to keep her here or not.
Aro looked at her "Nothing, you will stay here, work for us, at least something for you to do, we can't let you go back and tell the Cullens about your precious little Edward being dead now can we?" he said, he smirked a bit at her, he was nice to me but I could tell he liked to play with humans, I didn't blame him much after all he was a full Vampire, but I did feel sorry for the girl.
Bella sighed and just nodded, she had no choice but to accept what was to happen to her. "Alright" she said plainly and sat down at the steps trying to get her self together, she sighed and buried her face in her hands. I stood beside Ben and just looked at her sadly, it was like she was drowning in her sorrow and fear about this.
Demetri looked at Bella, something different in his eyes like he felt sorry for her "Let me show to your room" he said and offered her his hand, she looked at him hesitantly before taking it and walked out with him to where he was taking her, so she would have her own chamber like the rest of us.
Ben looked at me and Jane just smirked "Oh god why don;t you just marry her?" She laughed, which was a mistake as Ben launched him self at her and shoved her against the wall snarling so loud I had to grip to a chair as the room was shaking a bit at his growl.
Ben kept Jane pinned to the wall and he was sweating, I stared at him in shock a little, why was he sweating? This was not normal. Was it? I asked my self in my head, I then saw how he was starting to shake, Jane pushed him back so fast he flew back into the wall and when he landed on the floor he......well he was not him self anymore, a large brown wolf was in the room. At that same Moment Bella walked back inside with Demetri and she pulled me to her to keep me safe, but I was not scared.
"He's a werewolf" Demetri said, but it sounded more like a question rather then a statement.
"A what?" I asked looking at him in shock, how was this possible? He was a Vampire not a Werewolf, but maybe he was like me, so maybe he had the wolf genes but they were dormant and when he got changed he survived it as he was never changed into a wolf but now the wolf side wanted to get out thanks to Jane.
Aro looked confused just like and the rest of the coven and looked at me "Maybe he is like you" he said and I just nodded
"It could be possible" Bella added "If his wolf Genes were dormant it would explain as to why he survived when he was changed and now his wolf genes got out so it made him phase" she said as she kept me close to her while Ben was still in his wolf form trying to calm down and figure out what was going on with him and how he could turn back.
Ben finally managed to turn back into his human self but there was one issue he had no clothes, he lost them with the phase, I looked away so I would not look and blush or stare.
"Umm you need clothes" Bella said and handed Ben his things which were on the floor beside her.
I did not see but I could tell Ben was emmbarased "Umm thanks" he said and he got changed behind a pillar and walked back out, his jeans were torn a bit and he was shirtless, god why? I asked my self, he looked really strong and I made me want to stare.
sometimes i dont get to it for awhile wonder if befor each chapter you put 4 5 lines from last chapter to just to help setting kno i can go back but this would make it easier if not ok

Benefit Coverage
Workers' Compensation is a system that provides benefits to employees who are injured on the job or who become disabled due to an on-the-job injury or illness. Benefits generally include wage-loss benefits, hospital and medical expenses.
Use of Designated Physicians/Providers
The Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act encourages employers to designate at least six health care providers for initial treatment of injury or illness on the job. A listing of designated physicians/providers for use by University employees is provided throughout the University and is available from the Human Resources office.
When injury or illness occurs, employees must utilize the list of University designated physicians/providers in order to take advantage of medical coverage through Workers' Compensation. In an emergency situation, employees may initially obtain necessary treatment from any hospital or health care provider. However, follow-up care, if necessary, must be provided by one of the designated physicians/providers.
It is the responsibility of employees to notify their supervisor and the Human Resources Department within 24 hours of any work-related accident regardless of severity. In the event an employee cannot make prompt notification, the supervisor will assume the responsibility of contacting Human Resources.
During time off for work-related injury or illness, it is the responsibility of the employee to maintain contact with their supervisor and the Human Resources Department.
Recording Time Off/Compensation
Employees who have sick days available will use those days to cover time off up to and including fourteen days. In the event that no sick days are available, vacation and personal days will be used to cover time off. Upon supervisory approval, an employee injured on the job will be excused from work to obtain medical attention on the day the accident or injury occurs. Otherwise, the employee will be recorded on a no-pay status.
After a waiting period of seven (7) days, if approved by the insurance carrier, benefits are retroactive to the first full date after injury or illness if the disability lasts fourteen (14) days or more. The amount of compensation is calculated by the Workers' Compensation insurance carrier using an established formula which utilizes salary information from the last four quarters prior to injury.
There are times when compensation paid by the insurance carrier may overlap salary paid by the University. In those cases, an employee is required to reimburse the University for those days when double compensation was received.
In addition, the sick, vacation or personal days used will be reinstated retroactively to the first full date after injury or illness.
Continuation of Benefits
An employee of the University who has been approved and is receiving Workers' Compensation is entitled to maintain their benefits at the same level and terms of coverage as when they were actively working for a period of three months. After three months, qualified benefits can be continued at the employee's expense.
Job Reinstatement/Position Status
Before returning to work, an employee must provide the Human Resources Department with a fitness for duty report to return to work. The University will hold a position open for a period of three months. After that time period, the University may begin actively recruiting to fill the position for regular employment. The University will reinstate an employee returning from Workers' Compensation to the same or equivalent position with equivalent pay, benefits, and other employment terms.
The University may deny job restoration until an employee submits a certification to return to work.
The University retains the right to temporarily fill any position that is vacated due to a Workers' Compensation on-the-job injury or illness.
If an employee is able to return to work under qualified conditions (e.g. light duty), the University will make every effort to offer a position to accommodate circumstances.
The premiums for workers' compensation insurance is provided by the University at no cost to employees.Revised 02-01-01

Two hot button issues are expected to go before The Phoenix City Council Wednesday afternoon. A Phoenix neighborhood is fighting to keep a Circle K from expanding and a popular valley pool could go underwater.
Plans to expand a gas station in one Phoenix location have been on hold for months because the residents in the area aren't happy with the idea.
A vote happening Wednesday could be the final decision maker.
People who live near 7th Street and Roosevelt are fighting against a Circle K expansion.
The current Circle K on the northeast corner wants to move across the street to a vacant lot where they'll expand into a bigger store.
Neighbors are weary of the idea because they are afraid it will attract more crime to the area.
An ASU report from October 2012 claims that while Circle K owns 25 percent of the convenience store market, it's responsible for 75 percent of combined crime statistics.
Circle K filed papers with the city saying the newer stores have more lighting, more security and that they'll actually cut down on crime.
The vote is expected to take place Wednesday night.
Phoenix Swim Club members are working to stop the demolition on the pool.
Brophy bought the land for $1.7 million more than 10 years ago.
They're planning to build a new pool on Brophy's campus -- forcing the 500 swimmers who belong to the Phoenix Swim Club to find another pool.

Japanese tuning firm, Veilside , is no stranger to building new auto projects using their Japanese counterparts as their base model. This time around, the aftermarket company headed over to the 2011 Tokyo Auto Salon to present their latest masterpiece, the 4509 GTR Supra .
Based on the fourth generation Toyota Supra that dominated the streets of the world back in the 90's, the 4509 GTR certainly looks noting like its predecessor. The credit, for better or worse, certainly goes to Veilside for the sick as a high fever styling upgrades.
Though its not a completely original piece of work – we found a few traces on the car that makes it resemble a few of its European contemporaries – Veilside's work on the Supra is nothing short of detail-oriented. And on top of the aesthetic improvements, Veilside also gave quite a performance package to boost up the monster under its hood. In the world of aftermarket lore, that's about as good as you can get for a mid 90's Toyota Supra, proving that no cars are too old for a quality modification.
Details on the Toyota Supra 4509 GTR by Veilside after the jump.
Gallery Toyota Supra
Exterior and Interior
The Toyota Supra used for this project dates back to 1993, but you wouldn't even consider it just by looking at what the car looks like these days. Among the upgrades done include the use of carbon fiber and fiberglass on a number of its panels, a specially built grille made from polyurethane and Croissone emblems.
Veilside also added a set of 20" and 22" black alloy wheels on the front and back, respectively. These wheels are then given Bridgestone Potenza tires – 255/30R20 at the front and 295/25R22 at the back.
Inside the car, Veilside also gave it some nice digs, including new sports seats that have been upholstered in fine leather and diamond quilted alcantara. There's also a new sports steering wheel, an upgraded instrument panel, and a Veilside original speed meter.
The 4509 GTR was also modified in the performance department in the tune of upgrades to the car's engine. The Supra's twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine was given an HKS turbo kit complete with an intercooler, upping the car's output to 680 horsepower at 6,250 RPM and 594.5 lb/ft of torque. On top of that, the car was also given a new racing clutch, a custom sports exhaust system, a new braking system, and sports suspension.
No word yet on pricing, although the extensive work done on the car should see it command a pretty hefty price tag.
In the battle of old-school Japanese sports cars, the Supra had a pretty infallible adversary in the form of the Nissan Skyline. The Supra, in its standard form, boasts of a twin turbocharged 2JZ-GTE engine that produces 320 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque while also achieving a 0-60 mph time of just 4.6 seconds.
Meanwhile, the Nissan Skyline of the 90's was equally formidable, boasting of impressive features including a 2.6-liter T-R - RB26DETT twin-turbo I6 engine that produces 280 horsepower.
- Reliving the past with a car in-step with the future
- The Supra returns...sort of
- Aesthetic design adds a great touch
- No pricing yet
- Whatever the changes, the fact remains that the Supra is an old model
- Looks to have been 'inspired' by other models

favorite rental property to date!
We've rented several homes over the last few years and this log home was by far our favorite! Whispering Brook was meticulously clean, perfectly sized for our family of 4 (plus 1 dog), short trip away to Cannon for skiing and the surrounding woods were perfect for snowshoeing! We all could have stayed for another week! I think our dog is still mad at us for leaving. We will definitely be repeat renters! Thank you for making a family week away so relaxing!
Wonderful Winter School vacation
A magnificent house with a lot of space for children to play and romantic getaway for adults. We had a wonderful time, visited Littletown almost every day, we love it, while there, don't forget to visit Chutters (?) the World Guinness Candy store. We also celebrated my 50th birthday with my family, the best birthday ever. The house is equipped with everything that you possible need to have wonderful meals. Thank you Chris, we will do it again!!

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is expected to sign a bipartisan student loan bill that will lower the cost of borrowing for millions of students, at least in the short term. But because the measure links student loan interest rates to 10-year Treasury notes, costs would rise as the economy improves. Some lawmakers are already talking about a broader approach to capping fast-climbing costs.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The head of the National Security Agency has issued a challenge to computer experts who don't like the government's Internet snooping programs. Army Gen. Keith Alexander, who was heckled at the annual Black Hat conference, called on tech talent to step up and help build better programs to help the government intercept terrorist plots.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Prosecutors say the three women held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade kept diaries, describing the physical and sexual abuse they suffered every day. According to documents filed as part of Thursday's sentencing hearing, the women wrote about being locked in a dark room, anticipating more sexual abuse, being chained to a wall and dreaming of someday escaping. Ariel Castro pleaded guilty to 937 charges to avoid the death penalty.
FORNEY, Texas (AP) — When George Zimmerman was stopped for speeding in Texas Sunday, the officer is heard on a dashcam video telling the former Florida neighborhood watch volunteer to close his glove compartment and not to play with his gun. Zimmerman was stopped on a highway near Dallas. The officer told Zimmerman to calm down, and let him go with a warning.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — There are new calls for San Diego's mayor to step down. Bob Filner is facing allegations of unwanted advances from at least eight women. City council members voted to deny any city funds for Filner's lawyer says the city should pay because Filner wasn't given sexual harassment training.

It's a cafe filled with adorable animals.
. . . And they're all dead.
"As you leave your body � you realize something is happening. You hear a sound. . . getting louder and louder. . . screaming . . .weeping. . . wailing. Terror and fear beyond anything you could imagine overtakes you. "This can�t be happening!" you scream. Your nostrils are filling with the awful stench of burning souls. Your face ignites from the heat. Flames are now blazing from your eyes, nostrils, ears, mouth � every opening in your body, flames are roaring out. Your body is sizzling and crackling from the flames.
Your body is now madly thrashing and convulsing from the horrible pain. "Why don�t I die?", you scream. You begin weeping and gnashing your teeth with the millions. "When will this pain stop?" But you know it will never stop. . .
The darkness is so terrifying, it begins engulfing you. You feel something moving in the darkness. . . something horrible is happening. "No! No! This can�t be happening" you scream � as your worm is emerging.
And you soon realize that Jesus Christ was right. There is a place called hell.

Morning in San Caralampio,
Schoolchildren gather around
From Guatemala their families have fled to this Mexican town
A woman from north of the border
Opens a box on the floor
Gives them all crayons and paper, some never have seen these before
Draw me a picture of home, she says
Anything you can recall
Use all the colors, then we'll put them up on the wall
And the children draw guns,
Bullets and blood
Soldiers in uniform burning their houses
Trampling gardens to mud
The children of San Caralampio draw pictures of guns
— Mark Cohen, The Children Draw Guns
But my enjoyment was tempered somewhat by the regular intrusions of Mr Noseybonk. Mr Noseybonk was a sort of leering death-masked figure who was supposed to be gently amusing but wound up haunting my dreams, because he struck me as precisely the sort of figure who'd sneak into a stranger's bedroom in the dead of night and knife you, and knife you, and knife you, and knife you, and knife you...

The Community Reinvestment Act is intended to encourage depository institutions to meet the credit needs of their communities.
The Community Reinvestment Act, known as the CRA, was enacted by Congress in 1977 and is implemented through regulations of the four agencies: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision. The CRA is implemented under the Federal Reserve Board's Regulation BB.
The intention of the CRA is to encourage depository institutions to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they operate, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, and to be consistent with safe and sound lending practices. The Act was created in reaction to three historical trends related to banking and lending: so-called "redlining," disinvestment and housing discrimination. It was also designed as an incentive to invest in affordable housing and economic development. Under the CRA, examiners periodically evaluate an individual bank's record in helping meet a community's credit needs for a specific assessment area. Applications for future approval of bank mergers, acquisitions and branch openings are evaluated based on this record. CRA focuses on whether credit is available in a specific geographic area.
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) provides detailed information about implementation of CRA regulation.
Regulation BB establishes the CRA framework and criteria of a bank assessment.
The Federal Reserve Board provides information about bank ratings and evaluations, bank designation, strategic plans and quarterly exam schedules.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's Supervision, Regulation & Credit Department provides bankers with CRA resources and CRA ratings information.

[Hi TUAW readers, as I mentioned in a comment: ClickToFlash version 1.5.4 is about ready to go out, which rolls in 1.6b7's YouTube fix. It will be available via the normal Sparkle upgrade channel, so it's cool if you just want to wait for the auto-update.]
If you want a great concrete example of how open source rocks, look no further than ClickToFlash's "Old Flash? Go upgrade!" message with the new YouTube makeover Lighthouse ticket.
ndfred filed an awesome bug report. I started reversing YouTube's obfuscated JavaScript, but was beaten to the punch by Justin, ssp and lapcat.

It heartens me that even though I stalled out, this loose team of four guys dissected the problem and coded a solution.
I'm honored to bundle up their work and push out this update. I'm really proud of you guys, pushing the project forward even when I can't.

Dr. Billy Graham has been hospitalized again in North Carolina. The legendary preacher, 93, is receiving treatment for pneumonia at Mission Hospital in Asheville, a short distance from his home in Montreat. The evangelist, who was treated for pneumonia in May, is listed as being in stable condition.
Several years ago I filled in for the vacationing Q&A editor and figured it was easier to research one question instead of several.
So, on Jan. 1, 2006, I wrote a Q&A on Graham's first visit to Atlanta, which may be the shortest question/longest answer in AJC history.
Q: When was Billy Graham's first crusade held in Atlanta? — Bernice White, Smyrna, GA
A: The North Carolina evangelist's first Atlanta crusade was held from Oct. 29 to Dec. 10, 1950, said a spokesman for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
He would return two more times, in 1973 and 1994. In an Oct. 30 Atlanta Constitution article appearing under the headline "Revival hits godless Russia, Graham premiere here draws 25,000, " reporter Celestine Sibley wrote that Georgians "filled the grandstand and overflowed into the bleachers as Billy Graham's stormy evangelical crusade got underway at Ponce de Leon Park Sunday afternoon."
At the time, it was the largest audience to have heard a Graham sermon, surpassing an earlier Portland, Ore., crusade by about 8,000, the article said. Standing in the outfield at Atlanta's old baseball stadium, the current site of a Home Depot, Graham delivered a sermon that "crackled with brimstone-and-damnation promises of God's judgment being upon a wicked nation."
Graham "crammed his sermon full of statistics on divorce, crime, alcoholism, the consumption of habit-forming drugs, suicides and failures of the church to show that the nation will deserve what it gets."
"'Our way of life faces catastrophe!' he cried, " Sibley wrote. " 'Our way of life stands on the brink of destruction! Communism, that fanatical, supernatural, Satan-inspired religion has declared war on God. But I am not so much afraid of Communism as I am of God's judgment.' "
Introduced at the Sunday night sermon by Graham were "Gov. and Mrs. [Herman] Talmadge, Lt. Gov. Marvin Griffin and Mayor [William B.] Hartsfield." The "magic eyes of WSB-TV . . . took the service into an unknown number of homes, " wrote Constitution reporter Gordon Sawyer in another article.
The large crowds required 40 extra trolleys and 15 policemen to help handle traffic and parking.
William Franklin Graham was born Nov. 7, 1918, in Charlotte and raised on a dairy farm. In 1939, he was ordained as a Southern Baptist minister. Graham married Ruth McCue Bell in 1943 and they had five children.
He took a position as pastor at the First Baptist Church in Western Springs, Ill., from 1943 to 1945. He served as president of Northwestern Schools from 1947 to 1952, during which time he founded the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in Minneapolis.
His popular radio program "Hour of Decision" also began in 1950 and was heard on more than 700 stations around the world. He conducted 417 crusades during his long career, a spokesman said. His first crusade was in 1949 in Los Angeles.
His last was at New York's Flushing Meadows Corona Park in June 2005, where about 242,000 attended, a spokesman said. All told, he is believed to have preached live to 210 million people in 185 countries.
Graham has largely retired and is now living in the North Carolina mountains working on a book. "Ruth and I have enjoyed our time together these last few months, and we both feel at peace about the decision to have the New York meetings be our last, " Graham says on his Web site. [Note: Ruth Graham died June 14, 2007 at age 87.]
"We know that God can still use us to reach people with the Gospel message in other ways, and we look forward to seeing how He will do so." For more information, visit www.billygraham.org.

I've met Rev. Graham on multiple occasions. He is a true man of god, and a true man of class. I hope his health returns, although, he said at the funeral of his wife, Ruth, he is looking forward to the next funeral held at his library, which will be his own.

If Britney Spears ' in-the-works deal for a Las Vegas residency ends up happening, the singer will be cashing a $30 million paycheck minimum, according to a new report.
Robin Leach of The Las Vegas Sun reports that the deal, which would see Britney headlining at the 7,400-seat PH Live theater at Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino, is "inching closer to reality." The two-year deal would pay Britney a minimum of 30 million bucks, but apparently one sticking point is just how many weekends Britney would perform over those two years.
According to Leach, Caesars Entertainment, which would promote the residency, wants Brit to perform 35 weekends total over two years. However, Britney's management and agents want to do 45 weekends. Either way, that setup would mean that Britney wouldn't have to actually live in Las Vegas: she could jet in and out each weekend.
Leach adds that the deal would also include appearances by Britney at various nightclub properties around Vegas owned by Caesars. Should everyone sign on the dotted line, the residency would begin later this year, to coincide with the release of her new album, which she's currently in the studio recording.

Our first child, Carson, was born to us in April of 2000. When he was 4 weeks old, we happen to be in Seattle when he stopped eating and increasingly became lethargic. We were recommended to a local hospital. They took a chest x-ray and immediately advised we quickly transfer to Seattle Children's.
There, we were diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy, for some unknown reason, Carson's heart was enlarged. After 10 days in PICU, and some follow up care, within months we were back to 'normal'.
Skip ahead 4 years. We noticed Carson breathing fast when sleeping. A chest x-ray was ordered, 'just to set our minds at ease'. Carson's heart was again enlarged and his lungs full of fluid.
Once again there we were at Seattle Children's. Thus began a year and a half of fighting for a healthy heart, resisting talk of transplant and trying everything we could to make him better.
When Carson turned 5, his little body began to show more signs of failing. Six months later, we were placed on the transplant list. We had waited almost too long. Two weeks after listing, we were admitted and moved to the top of the list. About 2 1/2 weeks after admit, we were placed on a ventilator to ease the work on his heart. About 4 days later, it was decided that we would be placed on ECMO.
The night before ECMO, we received a call that a heart had been found. The next morning surgery began to replace Carson's heart. By that afternoon Carson had a strong, healthy heart. We were so happy to be in a place we fought so hard not to go. His previously failing heart had taken it's toll on his body, so our recovery was long. We spent a total of 5 months at Children's.
Now Carson is a strong, healthy, mischievous boy. He is on a swim team and was recently the only one on his team to swim the entire length of the pool, 24 yards, without taking a breath. You would never know by looking at him what He has been through. He is incredible and so has been his journey to here.
Children's Hospital means a variety of things to us:
It meant a place to park our 5th wheel so our family, including my husband, our then 3 year old daughter and 5 month old son, as well as my mother could be close to Carson.
It meant nurses and volunteers who would come and make our stay fun for our 3 year old and give her something to look forward to.
It was also a pool for her and I to spend some time together away from the hospital room.
It was a cafeteria that fed us all for 5 months.
It was clowns to make Carson smile and the singin' Chaplain to offer distraction.
It was nurses that offered so much more than just medical care.
It was concerned doctors who treated us like we were a part of what was happening.
It was being cared for by people who will forever remain close to our hearts.
It was kindness wherever we turned, smiles from the nice people who cleaned our rooms and Marv the milk man helping me with a heavy clothes basket.
It was and still is the incredibly gifted lab personel who just by seeing their familiar face can ease a child's fear of being poked.
It was the excitement of the snack lady coming by Carson's room each evening.
It was Santa coming to his room on Christmas day.
It was fun in the playroom and again with the kind volunteers that came to our room.
It was an incredible stay in Rehab, once again with wonderful people.
It was a physical therapist, who still is one of Carson's favorite people in the world, a transplant pharmacist, a social worker and chaplains that we still hug when we see them in the hall.
It was and still is an amazing group of people referred to as the Heart Center: an amazing cardiologist whose humor and obvious love for children give Carson and his siblings something to look forward to at our clinic appointments and a very talented heart surgeon, affectionately referred to by Carson as the doctor who put my new heart in.
Most of all it is a place we thank God for.
We are always happy to hear from you. Contact the Story Project.
Your gift helps ensure that every child in our region who needs the care of Seattle Children's expert doctors and nurses can get it.
Please give as generously as you can.

1. How is my Field placement determined? Do I get to choose?
The final decisions on where students are placed for their Field internship experiences rest with the Directors of Field Education. However, students' preferences are strongly considered, as well as the students' interests, strengths, educational needs, and feedback from other faculty and supervisors who are familiar with the students' work. For more information see the Field Application Process for the BSW or MSW program.
2. What if I want to complete my Field placement at an agency that hasn't been used before?
Students can note an agency on the Field application and to the Director of Field during the scheduled interview. The Director of Field will contact the agency, and if the agency meets the learning needs of the internship experience, an Agency Affiliation Agreement will be sent through the Baylor University General Counsel's office. Once the signed agreement is returned to the General Counsel's office, then the agency is approved and the student can be placed there.
3. How many hours are required for the Field placement?
The BSW and MSW Foundation internships require two semesters of completing 240 hours at the Field placement, for a total of 480 hours. The MSW Concentration internship requires a total of 500 hours, with 60-100 of those hours being completing during the Fall semester and the remaining 400-440 hours being completed in the Spring.
4. When can internship hours be completed?
Students in the BSW or MSW Foundation Field placements begin their internship hours during the first week of classes for the internship semester, and can complete their time at their Field placement no earlier than one week before classes end. Students in the spring semester of the MSW Concentration internship will begin earning their hours the week before classes start and then finish mid-April. Most internship hours are completed during the normal work-day schedule, though there are some placements who will involve the student in evening or weekend activities or responsibilities. If you are concerned about how your own schedule will allow for Field placement hours to be completed, you should make that known to the Directors of Field Education during the Field Application Process.
5. Will I be paid for the work I do at my Field placement?
The Field Education office is committed to securing compensated internships when possible. However, the Field Education office is committed first to the educational integrity of the internship and does not guarantee any student the possibility of a compensated Field internship. Some internship stipends will be provided through the agency directly to the student while others are provided through the agency to Baylor and then to the student. Others may be provided through grants in the School of Social Work. Students with special needs or interest in compensated internships should discuss these needs with the Directors of Field Education. All students will have equal opportunity to apply for subsidized internships. When more than one student is interested in a compensated internship, the students will interview with the subsidy provider who will have significant input in making the final decision about the placement.
6. Can I still work at my current job while I complete my Field placement?
The School of Social Work often recommends not having a job while in your internship semesters, due to the amount of time and energy that the Field placement requires. However, we also understand the financial needs that can exist and recognize that there have been students who have been able to hold an outside job and successfully complete the Field placement/internship
7. What if I am employed by an agency that takes interns? Can I complete my placement there? Is it possible to have my internship in my place of employment?
Students can intern at their place of employment if they meet the following criteria: the Field placement must have social work as its primary function. The organization must be one in which social work practice is clearly distinguishable from the practice of other disciplines; the organization must provide social work students with a qualitatively different experience from that provided by regular employment; the student must answer to a different supervisor than the work supervisor; the Field placement must have a clearly identifiable education focus guided by the learning contract and unencumbered by workload of regular employment; the agency must support the student's obligations for academic coursework and assignments related to the integrative seminar and research project; the agency must meet all requirements of any agency site for Field placements including affiliation with the SSW; the employment work hours and internship hours must be clearly articulated ensuring release time for course and Field instruction; under no circumstances will a student do more than one Field placement at the place of employment; the student, employer, Field Instructor and Field Education office must sign the Contract for Placement in Place of Employment, which can be obtained through the Field office.
8. Will I need to have my own car?
All students will be expected to secure reliable transportation to and from their Field placements when completing hours for their internships. Some placements may prefer students to have a car to conduct particular duties of the internship, such as hospital visits or community outreach. If a student does not have a car available to him or her, this would be important to communicate during the Field application process so that transportation needs can be taken into consideration when assigning Field placements. *The School of Social Work does not reimburse students for the use of their automobiles in conducting agency business, nor does it provide liability insurance coverage for agency-related travel.
9. What is the difference among a Field placement and an internship?
The terms Field placement and internship are used interchangeably. The Field placement or internship is the heart of social work education. It is the mode of study that emphasizes the practical application of professional knowledge and values to the real life problems and concerns of individuals, families, groups, communities and/or organizations under the supervision and instruction of highly competent social work practitioners and educators.
10. When and how do I obtain a Field placement?
The process for being placed at an agency for internship takes place the semester before the internship will begin. For more information see the Field Application Process for the BSW or MSW program.
11. Will I have to transport clients during my internship?
It is the strong recommendation of the School of Social Work that interns not transport clients in their own vehicles. Baylor University does not provide any coverage for transportation of clients. Interns who transport clients do so under their own automobile insurance and at their own risk.
12. What is the difference between a Field Instructor, Task Supervisor, and Field Liaison?
The Field Instructor, Task Supervisor and Field Liaison have distinct and complementary roles and responsibilities in Field Education. Each comes along side the student, in their respective roles, to assist the student in realizing their educational goals.
13. Will I have to purchase my own professional liability insurance?
The University provides limited professional liability insurance coverage for students involved in professional Field internships in the United States. This insurance includes coverage for professional activities required as part of the educational experience only. The School of Social Work has been assured by duly appointed University administrators that this coverage is adequate and will cover both in compensated and uncompensated placements. However, the faculty strongly recommends each student also purchase his/her own professional liability insurance through NASW or a comparable professional group or private insurance firm. Students should also ask the agency about availability of professional liability or malpractice insurance coverage provided by the agency. The limited professional liability insurance coverage provided by the University does not cover internship activities outside of the United States.
14. What happens if I am unable to complete my internship?
Completing the hours and tasks for the Field placement experience, in addition to passing the internship academic course, are required for successfully completing the internship. Two semesters each are required for completing the BSW internship, MSW oundation internship, and MSW concentration internship, and the internships are required for completing the degrees. These two semesters are expected to happen consecutively, and any exceptions to that would require approval by the Associate Deans.
15. What happens if the agency is not able to provide learning experiences to meet my learning needs?
Field agencies are carefully selected by the School of School Work. If an agency is not able to provide learning experiences to meet a student's learning needs, the Field Instructor, the Field Liaison, and the Director of Field Education, will work, procedurally, with the student and the agency to ensure that the student's learning needs are met. Occasionally, perhaps rarely, however, a change of field placement may be necessary.
16. Am I restricted to Waco or Texas for my Field placement?
For the most part, BSW internships happen in Waco and McLennan County, but you will see below an excerpt from the School of Social Work Catalog that provides more information on out of town opportunities in Baccalaureate Field Education: Area placements shall be those within Waco, McLennan County, and within a 90 mile radius (driving distance for seminar) of Baylor University. Most students will be placed in Field placement sites within Waco and McLennan County. The Field Education office has developed a number of placements in Bell County including Temple, Belton, and Killeen, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and in the Austin/Travis county area. If students are interested in placements in these areas that are not on the approved list of field placements, the student should ascertain that the site and supervisor meet the SSW criteria and then talk with the Director of Field Education-Generalist Practice office about developing that site. Students in these areas will be expected to return to the campus each week to attend integrative Field seminars unless special approval is given by the Director of Field Education-Generalist Practice office to use distance technology.
In the event a student would like to be considered for an out-of-area field placement, the following must be followed:
17. Are there international internships?
There are opportunities for international internships. International internships have included placements in Nairobi, Kenya and in Chisinau, Moldova. Students interested in international internships must use the same criteria set for out of area internships. (See question regarding out of area placements .)
18. What is the process for approval of Field Faculty?
Field Instructors and Task Supervisors must be approved to serve as Field Faculty. For more information see the Field Faculty page.
19. What are the benefits for serving as Field Faculty?
Field Instructors and Task Supervisors receive several benefits for serving as Field Faculty. For more information see the Field Faculty page.
20. How can I receive information as Field Faculty?
Once a person is approved as Field Instructor or Task Supervisor, he or she is added to the School of Social Work's mailing list and will receive electronic newsletters, emails from the Field office, and Community Connection, the School's newsletter.

Not consequently a wal-mart sits adjacent to the site which has collected the residual consumer goods of the suburban culture. For years the region has been building it's own foundation for a tabula rasa, for a landscape project. In the course of ten years since remediation decomposition has altered the site. As our consumer desires grow stronger our landfills also grow larger. In the mid-west there are nearly seventy five landfills nearing capacity. While simple solutions for remediation have been developed, post cap and greening these sites lay dormant as they shift, decompose, and settle through time.
Lyon township acquired user rights to the republic waste remediated landscape. An understated and uninformed reaction by the community was to utilize the site for ubiquitous neighborhood programming; benches, baseball fields, playground structures, and picnic areas. While the programming on top of the cap remained static during the first ten years of acquisition, the waste below continued to dissolve and compact ever changing and moving, a dynamic landscape.
While engineering has imagined infrastructure able to anticipate the changing nature of the contained waste, little opportunity has emerged to image new landscapes of possible futures as eccentric, unproportional and dynamic as the waste below them. Coupling relevant issues of designing through dynamic landscapes and engaging the remediation process, unexpected narratives and scenarios emerge. Designing through projection rather than the present.
Water re:
As the land slopes and shifts low points wander through the field of monitoring caps. Using the weight of water and the shedding topography of the landscape, the proposal concentrates water to pools which over time create a weight large enough to amplify focused pressure to the compacting garbage. In the end the landscape finishes as a large crater filled with water. The residual berms which retained the waste erode into the lake mixing to a fully remediated marshland.
The transforming terrain also leads to adjusting top soil. As the base decomposes, the water swales and the ground erodes. Building interventions atop such a charismatic territory is reduced down to the simple issue that rigid bodies do not like moving foundations. Instead the work imagines a series of follies; initially nestled within the ground bridging, connecting and grounded. As the earth adjusts to the happenings underneath it wears away from the structure slowly exposing more while reducing its footprint.
Spotted through the landscape are a series of regulation caps. These caps monitor the methane levels being released from the decomposing waste. Currently a $30,000 budget is allocated to the mowing of a landfill. Why? because these caps need to be visible at a distance for safety and maintenance purposes. A small area surrounding each monitoring cap is all that is required to be manicured, this can be done with the mowing capabilities of a small heard of sheep. Tethered to each cap, the sheep graze the lawn providing the necessary radius of short grasses while greatly reducing budgetary constraints and maintenance efforts.
The means of extending our projections to the extreme allows a reach to the ends of reason and find emergent and revealing scenarios which would not have been discovered in the passive attention of resolving issues one by one. To resolve the post-landfill is to propose a projective landscape.
