The version of personal responsibility which Romney espouses in these comments is one that is isolated, fearful and lacking in empathy. The version of personal responsibility that come from seeing interdependence is inclusive, courageous and deeply empathetic
Unlike the middle-class students disappointed in Clegg, or the undocumented workers disappointed in Obama, the super-rich get what they are promised from Republicans.
Kaapcke's self-excavation throws us into contact with this deep wellspring of art. That's why the work jumps to life.
He was eight-years-old, and the oldest of five little children when his father died of cancer. It was the Depression. With no other means of support, his mother baked bread and sold it to her neighbors in Buffalo.
After Romney's now infamous 47 Percent dinner party revelation, it's hard to believe that parts of the 47 Percent will still vote for him, and it's likely many of those individuals consider themselves to be 53 Percenters.
I have some thoughts about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's secretly recorded video. They are important thoughts. My thoughts are, I'll admit, eerily similar to some other people's thoughts you may have encountered -- but only up until a point.
It's this kind of thinking that allows Romney and Ryan to initiate such a reckless attack on Medicaid. If the people you're hurting with your policies are blameworthy -- irresponsible loafers and swindlers who think they're entitled to health care, food, housing -- then it's ok to punish them, right?
There is this myth of rugged individualism that comes from our nation's founding, except when our nation was founded it was made up of 99 percent poor, illiterate, desperate peasants, and one percent Founding Fathers.
The 47 percent is a myth. Due to arbitrary sanctions, agency errors, onerous application requirements, long waits to apply, failed communication systems, arduous work requirements and punishment within the system, low-income people do not receive much needed services.
I have been wondering lately whether it is reasonable to question a candidate's readiness for the presidency if her or his vision of the human family has not transcended all notions of separateness.
Some things are actually worth paying for....
This is what Americans depend on.
This week's biggest stories involved public figures being secretly captured by an unseen camera, exposing to the world what they are really like underneath. We saw that Kate Middleton, like many of us, enjoys getting a little sun on holiday. Mitt Romney, on the other hand, showed that he doesn't like many of us, believing we are victims and entitled moochers. Of course, anything can change -- but after Romney's Campaign Week From Hell, it's looking more and more likely that Obama will be reelected. So as well as focusing on the Obama vs. Romney race, it becomes increasingly important to focus on the Obama vs. Obama race -- Campaigning Obama vs. Governing Obama. And if the president really believes, as he told Univision, that he can't change Washington from the inside, and intends to outsource his leadership role to us, we are all (pardon the expression, Kate) royally screwed.
While watching and listening to Governor Romney's remarks, I thought to myself, "Wow, this would make a great horror film."
When Mitt is releasing tax returns to change the subject, you just know he's in a bad place politically. It may still be way too early to confidently predict the outcome of the election, but it isn't too early to call Romney's campaign (so far) an unmitigated disaster.
People like Romney and Metcalfe aren't concerned about us. Their attitude seems to be that we are young and can easily bounce back and that we can depend on our parent's if need be. That attitude is not only flippant, but it is untrue.

It's hard to hate a movie that escorts us to such lovely locales, but instead of marking the territory as her own, Madonna has directed a potentially provocative story like a virgin. Full Review

A review of Evolucionismo y conocimiento racional: Guía para curiosos y desorientados (translated: Evolution and rational thought: A guide for the curious and the disoriented), by Felipe Aizpún Viñes
OIACDI; 2010 Review by Dr. Carlos Javier Alonso and translated by Robert Deyes
Evolucionismo y conocimiento racional stands out as a resource that brings together the core elements of the topics it covers and thus provides an avenue for readers to assess the current state of debate. In this regard Evolucionismo y conocimiento racional can be seen as the evolution bible. Rather than giving the impression of a rapidly assembled collection of facts put together for the sole purpose of disseminating information, the book bears all the hallmarks of a well thought out literary masterpiece. Most notable is the rich collection of arguments through which each of the evolutionary hypotheses are expounded and systematically considered. And yet Evolucionismo y conocimiento racional is not exclusively directed towards specialist readers. On the contrary. In my assessment, it is easily accessible to those who have a basic training in philosophy and science and a firm grasp of the multi-faceted problems surrounding evolutionary reasoning.
Understood in a purely biological context, evolution is not a fact in itself but rather an interpretation of the facts as we find them. To be sure, no scientific specialty can claim to faithfully reconstruct what happened hundreds of thousands let alone millions of years ago. The relevant disciplines only allow us to make conjectures or presumptions regarding the journey that evolution has taken. It therefore follows that evolution carries with it an inherent (not necessarily false) bias and constitutes a hypothesis lacking the empirical support so necessary to establish it as a scientific theory.
Criticisms of the Darwinist paradigm and its neo-Darwinist reformulation are sufficiently convincing, not easily refutable and solidly rigorous. As Felipe Aizpún shows, Darwins lack of understanding of genetics prevented him from drawing up a mechanism through which evolution could run its course. But the neo-Darwinist revision fares no better. The proposed combination of favorable random mutations preserved by natural selection falls short in every aspect.
The author compellingly asserts that the chance assessment of events exists nowhere other that in the minds eye. There are numerous causal factors that can affect the outcomes of natural processes and there is no way to predict which factors will act to produce a given outcome. The complexity of nature makes such predictions very difficult if not impossible given that causal factors that act in one instance might be absent in others. An appeal to chance is an appeal made from ignorance of what causal factors are at play in the manifestation of a reality that we observe. Only in relation to a partial cause can we talk about chance. For these reasons the Darwinian paradigm, defined in Kuhnian terms, is one that is rife with anomalies and thereby one that is on the verge of a revolutionary crisis. While the alternative offered by Professor Maximo Sandin and biologist Lynn Margulis amongst others still carries with it significant gaps in understanding and points of contention (these are discussed with noteworthy precision and clarity in chapters 17 and 18) it could still unseat the official paradigm in the short term not only because of its more coherent consideration of the facts but also because the causal factors it invokes better explain the phenomenon of evolution.
Evolucionismo y conocimiento racional supplies an accurate analysis of scientific naturalism which at its core reduces all understanding to that which is experimentally demonstrable. Scientific naturalism is a theory that states that only experimental science can provide a valid understanding of reality and that scientific investigation alone meets the needs of human intelligence. In accordance with this doctrine there has been a pinning down that unjustifiably restricts all human understanding to the confines of science. Nevertheless we cannot lose sight of the fact that science is not the only system available to us for acquiring knowledge. Undoubtedly a large part of what we know and what we have achieved has come to us from sources outside the scientific enterprise. The avenues along which man can understand reality are many. Beyond genetic inheritance, traditions and personal experience as well as art, crafts, religion, poetry and philosophy can provide a basis for understanding diverse aspects of our experience. While scientism claims that knowledge of our world is limited to that which is obtainable through experimental science, reducing all objectivity to that which is experimentally acquired blinds us to the fact that the scientific/natural picture is only one branch of the total human experience.
Another matter deserves our attention- the criticism (in my opinion questionable) of Tomist metaphysics and of the evidential force of his five arguments for the existence of God. According to the author such arguments imply the possibility of demonstrating the existence of God deductively. The author displays a partiality towards inferring the existence of God in probabilistic terms in accordance with the abductive line of reasoning put forward by Charles Sanders Pierce. A consideration of Gods existence through probability rather than certainty, the latter being in accordance with a deductive mode of reasoning, has important ramifications. For example, a discourse on the foundations of morality on God would only fit into the religious context of revelation and would require from us additional efforts if we were to find an exclusively rational explanation, understood as an unavoidable commitment to action that could elude the subjectivist and relativist trap to which we would be destined.
Regarding this point the author reveals himself to be a partial doubter of the Kantian epistemology and criticism of the Tomist arguments. In his view, the Kantian criticism is made up of two parts that need to be differentiated. On the one hand we are to reflect on the fact that the deductive process for a cosmological argument is inconsistent given that it assumes an identification of the ideal concept of the necessary being with the being of realism even though such a connection is not rationally admissible. On the other hand, Kant concludes equivocally, taken by an arbitrary epistemological limitation, that transcendent ideas are inaccessible to reason. Although accurate the Kantian criticism of the Tomist approach, notes the author, the idea that God is not foreign to our rational state and the Kantian conclusion of unknowability, does not necessarily follow. What needs to be defined is an adequate method of reasoning that takes us to a primary cause and its connection with sensible knowledge.
One has to specifically acknowledge that there is something that is simply erroneous in the statement that knowledge exists exclusively as a function of sensible knowledge. Such a stance implies a rejection of formal abstraction and the separation of diverse aspects of being such as the modes of cognitive access and reality. To negate such an abstraction and separation is to obstruct the pathway towards God, given that we will not be able to access the being of those creatures.
Evolucionismo y conocimiento racional falls firmly within the paradigm of Intelligent Design. Seen from our vantage point, the design inference that comes from the study of living creatures is a completely logical one (one has to be blind not to see this); this is the inference that the latest theories- both theistic and more recently those of intelligent design- have put forward both in philosophical and scientific circles; such theories have generated much animosity amongst Darwinists, with their fundamental assumption of natural selection acting on random mutations. In any case, one has to recognize that all theories categorized under the ID umbrella play on two fields: that which argues strictly on scientific grounds (the work of Behe and Dembski concerning irreducible complexity and specified complexity in addition to their critique of the neodarwinist explanation, are paradigmatic examples of this) and also that which argues on philosophical grounds since they postulate the existence of a Designer, as the causal agent that is necessary for the design. Within this perspective, ID theories do not fit strictly into the experimental scientific method and can therefore be considered as non-scientific. Nevertheless this does not mean that they are false since reality is not confined to that which we can observe through experimental science. Rather it means that these theories are at the same time both scientific and philosophical in nature.
In view of these points, Evolucionismo y conocimiento racional is a must-read for those wishing to remain up to date with contemporary evolutionary theories and the arguments that support them.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I used the default design and just changed the wording so it was very easy to create my post cards. I am very happy with the paper quality. I chose Wedding Paper Divas because of the great reviews, and they exceeded my expectations. My fiancé is also very happy with our purchase and we can't wait to send them to our friends and family."
"We are beyond pleased with our decision to work with Wedding Paper Divas. Not only did the color and texture of the Save the Date exceed our expectations, we were beyond thrilled. Katie not only took the time to make me feel like an important client on the phone, she immediately sent the prototype of our card immediately. On top of that she sent a personalized hand written thank you card. The quality of work and personalized professionalism means so much. I cannot thank you Katie enough for your help. I will recommend to all my friends, family, and clients to start a working relationship with your company. We cannot wait to order our invitations. Once again I cannot express how happy I am with everything."
"This goes perfectly with our casino themed wedding. I ordered the postcards and unfortunately fedex lost my original order. I called and spoke with Wendy in customer service and she sent me a replacement order overnight. I was so excited when they got here. She really made my day!! The only thing i would suggest is definetly reread your personalizations because i missed a spelling i spelt feel instead of fell and the proofreader didn't catch it lol its ok though if you read it fast enough you never notice. I will be ordering all the other printing i need for my special day from wedding paper divas they really are making my day alot easier with all their coordinating projects."
"We are very pleased with our Save the Date cards. They look great and they were formatted perfectly. I wish the card stock was a little heavier. Overall though, the service and delivery were top-notch."
"When the cards arrived I was floored, they looked even better than I anticipated. My friends and family raved about these cards!"

Disneyland ticket advice: Which ticket or annual pass should you buy?
Written by Robert Niles
Earlier today, we looked at Walt Disney World tickets, and which ticket you should buy. Now, let's look at Disneyland.Tweet
Buying tickets to the Disneyland Resort is much easier for out-of-town visitors than buying tickets to the Walt Disney World Resort. There is no "no expire" option at Disneyland, simplifying the math considerably. Also, park hopping is much easier at Disneyland than Walt Disney World. Disneyland and California Adventure stand a few yards away from each other, across an open pedestrian plaza. Adding park hopping to your ticket is much cheaper at Disneyland, too. While it costs an extra $45 on a one-day ticket, park hopping is just $15 extra on a two-day ticket, which is the minimum length I'd recommend for an out-of-town Disneyland visitors. Go ahead and get it. (Here's the list of Disneyland ticket prices.)
But what about locals, who make up the majority of visitors to the Disneyland Resort? The math gets a bit trickier for us. (I'm in Pasadena.) To determine which ticket is the best value for you, you need to think about how often you plan to visit the Disneyland Resort in a given year, and when.
For infrequent local visitors, your best value on a daily ticket is to wait for one of the seasonal tickets that the resort offers to Southern California residents. Right now, Disneyland is offering a three-day pass for $139 ($154 with park hopper). Disneyland also offers some variation on a "2fer" deal each winter and spring, after the New Year.
If you'd like to visit the Disneyland theme parks three times a year or more, though, it's time to think about an annual pass. The cheapest pass, the SoCal Select Pass, costs $199 (up from $189), so it pays for itself on the third day, assuming you didn't buy one of the seasonal discount passes. You also get in-park discounts on food (and sometimes on merchandise) with the pass. Unfortunately, the SoCal Select pass isn't valid on weekends, holidays and most of the summer (205 blockout days total), so it's really only a good option for people who visit the park on weekdays during the school year. (I call this the "homeschool annual pass.") You can find the calendar of blockout days by visiting disneyland.com/ap and clicking the "view calendar" links under "Compare Annual Passports," about halfway down the page on the right.
Just because an annual pass isn't valid on a specific day doesn't mean that you can't use it to get into the parks, though. Disney sells "blockout day" tickets to annual passholders for $59 a day. These park-hopper tickets will get you into the park on a day when your pass isn't valid.
The thing is, the price of a blockout day ticket can be applied toward upgrading your annual pass to the next level. For the SoCal Select and Southern California ($269 - 150 blockout days, up from $239) annual passes, you're better off upgrading a pass level if you visit the park on just two blockout days for your pass. You also can apply the cost of a daily or seasonal discount ticket toward buying an annual pass.
Also keep in mind that parking is not included in the SoCal Select, Southern California and Deluxe ($378 - 50 blockout days, up from $329) Disneyland annual passes, unless you pay an additional $99 for the parking upgrade. If you add parking to the Deluxe pass, you're up to $477 - which is just $22 less than getting the Premium pass ($499 - no blockout dates, up from $459). If you visit the park on just one blockout date for the Deluxe pass, you're better off upgrading to the Premium.
For the non-Premium passes, you'd need to visit the park seven times in one year for the $99 parking add-on to pay for itself, assuming Disneyland keeps the parking charge at $15 a day.
Aside: Keep in mind that if you are visiting the parks for less than three hours (or five hours if you eat at one of the Downtown Disney restaurants), you can park free in the Downtown Disney lot, though Disney officially doesn't want you parking there if you're going into the parks. (But it has no way of enforcing this.) Since the hourly charge for the Downtown Disney lot is $6, you beat the $15 daily parking fee in the park lots if you stay in the Downtown Disney lot for less than five hours a visit (seven hours with a restaurant or movie validation).
My advice?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Disneyland Resort theme park tickets, in the comments.

From M. Ryan Traylor on June 13, 2011 at 1:46 PM
I've always felt as a SoCal resident, it's either a special ticket deal (2fer or Summer Fun pass) or Annual Pass w/parking.
From Robert Niles on June 13, 2011 at 2:34 PM
Gaming the system at Disneyland can be a PhD-level subject for some people.
Ultimately, if you are a local and want to keep it simple, either you adopt visiting Disneyland as a lifestyle - in which case you get an AP and use it frequently, dropping in whenever you'd like - or you just visit when tickets go on discount sale.
And, as I wrote, if you're not local, don't sweat any of this. Get the two- or three-day ticket. (If you haven't been in a while, or ever, I'd get the three-day.)
From 220.127.116.11 on June 14, 2011 at 9:06 AM
Costco also has a really good deal on park hoppers. (see link)
We go so often that the Premium Passes are what's right for us. Plus, with this new price hike the days that all passes are blocked besides the Premium Pass might actually be less crowded than other days, and that makes it worth it as well.
Still, that's a lot of money.
From M. Ryan Traylor on June 13, 2011 at 3:08 PM
I gamed the system back in 2009-2010. One SoCal Pass with parking. Approx 22 scans at the turnstile. Additional purchase of one dole-whip per day. Plus the gas to get there.
Sometimes CA Unemployment has it's benefits.
From 22.214.171.124 on June 13, 2011 at 3:34 PM
Our SoCal select passes have been great. Because of teacher furlough days this year we've used them a lot. Besides, you don't want to be there on weekends or in the summer -- too crowded. The best part about having a pass is the ability to relax and enjoy the park instead of trying to get all of your money's worth at once.
From Anon Mouse on June 14, 2011 at 7:51 AM
Disneyland is easier to figure out than WDW. I really hate Magic Your Way tickets. Park hopping is no longer included.
No matter what you do, Disneyland costs significantly more than any other theme park. The only way around it is visit less. 1 to 3 trips a year should be sufficient. Visit more, annual passes are the way to go.
I'm not sure it is worth going yet. I want to see how DCA turns out. I will wait til next year when everything is finished.
From Tyler Stover on June 14, 2011 at 11:43 AM
We had previously gone with the deluxe passes, figuring we didn't really want to be there on the blocked dates anyway, but the math doesn't lie. Premium it is next time we renew.
From 188.8.131.52 on June 14, 2011 at 10:39 PM
I got a one day hopper for $55 for mid-week September on lafuntickets.net I was a little skeptical at first (although they were registered with the BBB) as I had to drive to a Shell station a couple blocks away to get the tickets (but reserve online) and pay in cash. They buy 5 day hoppers and resell them as 1-4 day tickets. Your supposed to return them at the end of your day (or before the next morning) in the dropbox by their office in the Shell station. My ticket (which worked fine) was the 5th day so I didn't have to return it and got to keep a souvenir ticket card. $55 dollars for a day at two Disney parks was a great deal:)
On another note September mid-week (we went Sept 1st, 2010) is an excellent time to visit Disneyland. It was the least crowded I've ever seen Disneyland in all my years of visiting. We didn't

"You show the card in scallop edges and than charge more for it. When you show the card it should be priced accordingly. Not when you go to purchase you than see it is more money for scallop edges."
"Everything turned out great and I was very happy with the way they look. Very cute and would definitely recommend or use again in the future! :)"
"Not only is the quality and price of the invites exceptional, but the excellent customer service Tiny Prints provides is unsurpassed. I made a mistake on my order and they offered to correct it at no additional charge. They are prompt and professional in their response to your concerns."
"Using this card for a baby shower that my hubby and I will be having in July. The card came 2 days after ordering it (incredibly fast!!!!) so we were able to send them out ASAP since we ran a little behind on ordering them. The card was printed on a nice, thick cardstock. Overall quality was great."
"The quality of the card exceeded my expectations - very sturdy, almost cardboard-like quality, but refined to the touch. Even the envelope quality far exceeded the "standard envelope" I was expecting. In designing the invitation, it was fairly basic. Took a little time to get the right font/color to fit the area. I needed a little more space for registry information, but that was easily fixed by printing/cutting small inserts on my own. I made some errors when I sent the first batch of invitations and was happy to see I could re-order without having to re-design the whole thing. Overall, very happy with the quality and experience with this product/site. Will definitely use it again in the future."

Global shipping lines, looking to take advantage of economy of scale, have deployed larger, more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly vessels. These larger ships will likely mean fewer port calls with each ship discharging more cargo per call. This presents certain challenges related to the ebb and flow of activity and cargo at the pier. Add to this the fluidity of a ship's schedule and it is easy to see how slight delays in the processing of vessels could lead to significant port congestion.
To prepare the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for these challenges, the port authority has spent more than $2.5 billion to deepen channels, increase roadway capacity and build intermodal rail facilities. During the same period, terminal operators invested in new cargo cranes and cargo-handling equipment, improvements to infrastructure and new operating systems. We also made the decision to increase the air draft of the Bayonne Bridge. With a commitment of $1.3 billion, the air draft of the bridge will be raised to 215 feet by the end of 2015.
However, capital improvements alone cannot fully prepare ports for this new age of global shipping. We must examine all systems and practices currently in place and identify any opportunities to improve performance — terminals, drayage operations, labor supply and availability, chassis/empty container depots and intermodal connections to name a few. No single entity can adequately address these issues. Instead, a cooperative approach that provides all stakeholders with the opportunity to craft a shared solution must be employed.
During 2014, the port authority will expand its efforts to bring all stakeholders to the table with the singular goal of optimizing all elements of the port system.
Richard M. Larrabee is Director, Port Commerce at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Four Nebraska Wesleyan University students who are active in Greek life have been recognized for their academic excellence.
Katelyn Delaney of Sioux Falls, S.D., Samantha Peters of Omaha, Michael Pirnie of Omaha, and Thomas Schroeder of Lincoln have each been awarded the Greek Academic Excellence Scholarship.
"I plan out my schedule ahead of time to ensure that I attend events, meetings, and activities, as well as leaving enough time to devote to my studies," said Delaney, a member of Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority. "While being so actively involved, my academic success is represented in my induction to several academic honoraries on campus. My balance of academics and Greek activities illustrates that it is possible to be involved, be Greek, and still excel academically."
The Greek Academic Excellence Scholarship is awarded to students who go above and beyond in his/her own academic career and also work to ensure the academic success of others.
"I always put my academics first, because as we say at Theta Chi, 'Alma Mater first, Theta Chi for Alma Mater,'" said Michael Pirnie, a member of Theta Chi. "In this way I can balance my Greek activities with my course work, because by doing well in school I am also helping my fraternity be successful. In addition, I feel I have been an example to other students academically because I am currently taking 18 credit hours while staying active in both my fraternity and on campus."
Students considered for the scholarship must uphold the core values of acceptance, responsibility, citizenship, and humanity in addition to the values of their sorority and fraternity. The scholarship is awarded to two members of Interfraternity Council and two members of Panhellenic Council.
"I always try to be one of the best students in the classroom," said Tom Schroeder, a member of Zeta Psi. "Despite sitting in the front of the class and actively participating, I try my best to get to know each of my teachers on a personal level. Be it a little joke, or just popping in their office to say hello on a random afternoon, I try to make the most of the close personal connections that I have available to be here at Wesleyan."
Samantha Peters, a member of Alpha Gamma Delta, said: "My drive for scholastic excellence and my intense desire to make a difference in the world inspires others to set high goals and achieve them. I am polite, punctual, hardworking, inquisitive, and excited – the building blocks needed to attain the perfect womanhood for which members of Alpha Gamma Delta's strive."

PLAYERS: Michael Bourn, Scott Boras, Justin Upton
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Mets
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Mets
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe says this morning that "the Mets are not out of the picture if the price and length of commitment come down" on free agent outfielder Michael Bourn. As you can read below, I don't see Bourn and the Mets as a match for the reasons I specified, chief among them being that it would cost the Mets their first round pick. Original Post 1/15 I don't understand why I continue to read posts and comments about the Mets needing to sign center fielder Michael Bourn. Why? I look at Bourn's age (30) and his career numbers, and I don't see what the fascination is all about. Is it just the speed? Bourn, who is represented by Scott Boras, is reportedly seeking a deal worth $100 million dollars as a free agent. I see that number and it takes me back to the Jose Reyes situation a year ago. Wasn't the main reason we didn't re-sign Reyes due to the fact that his entire game relied heavily on his legs? Wasn't one of our chief concerns that speed is usually one of those a...

Up for Debate: The Open-Government Plan is Vaporware 2.0.
The first drafts of agencies' open-government plans are Twinkies. You can put them on the shelf and they will last forever, but no one's going to eat them.

Don't diss the twinkies. Lot's of people eat them, no matter how long they've been on the shelf.
So, to play out your analogy, the OG plans will have a long shelf life, will remain consumable for a long time, and will always appeal to a certain group of people--even if only when they are high.
Is that what you were trying to get at?
When you really catalog the initiatives outlined by the agencies you see that there are many ways in these plans to make government better. Anyone who thinks it is vapor has obviously not read some of these highly regarded plans.
That being said, there will certainly be some fluff pieces out there including some less than inspiring "plans to do planning". However, I look at initiatives like homeless predictive analytics, the CMS Dashboard, and enhancing information management around climate change and with these types of efforts I see the government getting better, not worse. I challenge those who throw open gov under the bus to get me another route for the agencies to come together to sign up for innovative initiatives that will make the government a better service provider to the citizens.

Jefferson County is winning football games the old-fashioned way: with defense.
The Warriors last week held Evans to 130 yards rushing and forced two safeties in its 17-3 win, which enabled No. 6 Jeffco to improve to 4-0. The program won only four games a year ago.
So far this season the Jefferson County defense has allowed 31 points. They gave up 14 in each of the first two games and blanked Greenbrier in Week 3. Their effort against Evans was a continuation of the improvement.
Jefferson County's offense is nothing to laugh about, but needs to be more consistent and cut down on the mistakes if it expects to unseat Washington County in Region 3. Last week the Warriors lost three fumbles and failed to score on four drives that reached inside the 20.
The Warriors have three solid running backs, the best one Car'tabius Quarterman. Much also hinges on the extent of the leg injury suffered by quarterback Will Jordan last week.
Jefferson County's showdown against No. 3 Washington County will take place Oct. 11 in Sandersville.
East Hall makes a move
Quarterback Devin Watson is trying to help East Hall secure its first winning season since 2005.
Last week coach Bryan Gray's team trounced rival Johnson 54-14, as Watson ran for three touchdowns and threw for three others. The junior threw for 329 yards on 11 of 23 passing and ran for 100 yards. The Vikings amassed 547 total yards.
The 54 points was the most scored by one team in the series, which East Hall leads 22-13-1. It avenged last year's 22-21 loss.
East Hall is now 3-1 and could produce its first winning season since 2005, when it went 6-5.
Other tidbits
No. 100: Blessed Trinity coach Tim McFarlin won his 100th career game last week when the Titans beat White County 30-0.
No. 300: Running back Deshawn Waller came up just shy of 300 yards rushing. The B.E.S.T. Academy back ran for 292 yards and three touchdowns against McNair. And just to prove that there's room for everybody in a 62-7 win, teammate Rontavious Belcher added 94 yards.
The record Brooks: Cartersville's Brooks Barden keeps putting up big numbers, 312 to be exact. The senior completed 14 of 16 for 312 yards and four touchdowns against North Murray.
Woodward returns to Top 10: The War Eagles won their third straight since an opening night loss to Lovett. In the 30-15 win over Westminster, Woodward's Terry Googer rushed for 190 yards and threw for 94. On the defensive side, Arrington Farrar probably slept very well after netting 19 tackles and an interception.

Illinois is located in the heart of the United States and offers a wide variety of destinations from urban Chicago to rural southern Illinois. With 11 airports and an extensive train system, getting around the state is easy!

Climate: The temperature in Illinois ranges from below freezing in the winter to hot and humid sunny days in the summer. Check websites like weather.com for averages during the time of the year you are traveling. Still, always be prepared for anything as the state is affected by cold fronts from the north and warm fronts from the south! January and February generally get incredibly cold and it isnt recommended to come during that time. Even going from museum to museum can get difficult during these months! Fall and spring generally are comfortable but can change drastically day to day. Summer months can get extremely warm, so be careful when outside or without air conditioning! Be aware of the temperature and weather conditions, and be safe!
Transportation to and through Illinois: There are many options when flying into Illinois, most notably are OHare International Airport and Midway which are located right on the outskirts of Chicago. They are both connected to the Chicago Transit Authority, or public transportation system, and the city can be easily accessed. From Chicago is an intricate train system, Metra and Amtrak, which can bring you all over the state and other parts of the country. In the suburbs of Chicago there is a system of PACE buses. There are other airports in Illinois, most notably in the capital, Springfield. Saint Louis, Missouri is at the border of Illinois and the lower part of the state can be accessed by that airport as well. Taxis are common and expensive in Chicago. Most suburbs have taxi companies that must be called.
Where to stay: Most travelers will stay in hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts. There are only a few hostels in Chicago. Illinois also holds a large amount of people offering their couches on couchsurfing.org
Internet: There are internet cafes in Chicago, but they are not on every corner. It would be useful to know where some are before entering the city. Most hotels offer wi-fi if you bring a laptop.
Places to Go!
Chicago's downtown has a lot of great educational and tourist destinations. The Art Institute, Navy Pier, Shedd Aquariam, Adler Planetarium, Millennium Park, Willis Tower and the Hancock. There are a lot of passes that if you go to multiple museums, you get a discount. The shopping centers are on Michigan Avenue and Water Tower Place. Other places of interest are the Lincoln Park Zoo (free!), the Museum of Science and Industry, the Chicago History Museum, DuSable Museum of African American History, and the Brookfield Zoo.
Sitting right next to Chicago is Lake Michigan, and running through it is the Chicago River. Take a boat tour! There are great tours that drive through the channels or along the coastline of Chicago and explain the history. I would recommend SeaDogs which meets at Navy Pier. You can also walk along all of the Lake Front or rent a bike! Also look for kayaking trips on the Chicago river to get a great and relaxing view of the city.
Sports play a big part in Chicago culture. Baseball fever hits Chicago hard with two major league teams in one city, the Chicago White Sox based on the southside and the Chicago Cubs on the northside. Both stadiums give very different experience from the deep rooted traditions in Wrigley Field that hosts the cubs and the flashy fireworks and music at the Sox games. Chicago fans are passionate about their favorite baseball team! Both stadiums are easily accessible by public transportation and tickets are fairly affordable. Oh and
Go Cubs! Chicago also holds Soldier Field where the Chicago Bears play American football. Tickets are extremely expensive, but the games are fun and people from out of the country are new to this sport! Chicago also hosts the Chicago Bulls basketball team, the Blackhawks hockey team, and the Chicago fire soccer (the rest of the worlds football), and the Chicago Force womens American football team.
When in Chicago, go to the many ethnic neighborhoods! I recommend Greek Town, China Town, Korea Town, and up on Devon Avenue there is a South Asian community. The food is great! Also check out Chicago style Pizza and Chicago style hotdogs. Chicago's Boys Town (gay community) is also worth visiting, always an interesting time! My personal favorite place to visit is the Irish-American Heritage Center, check for their summer festival!
There are always a lot of free things to do in Chicago!
Free Museum Days: http://www.dennisobrien.net/chicago/museums.html.
Neighborhood Festivals: http://www.explorechicago.org/city/en/supp...ghborhood.html/
Festivals Downtown: http://chicago.metromix.com/events/article.../339943/content
Parades: http://www.explorechicago.org/city/en/supp...od_parades.html
Look around Chicagos tourism sites, there is always something going on!
Before booking a hotel, make sure you read some reviews. Some of the cheap spots might have other uses too
Also check out the neighborhood you are staying in or looking to visit. http://chicago.everyblock.com/crime/
Getting around Chicago has never been easier now that the public transportation system is on google maps! Type in your start and end addresses, choose public transportation, and voila directions! Train fares are $2.25, $0.25 per transfer, and bus trips are $2.00. If you are planning on taking the bus or train more than twice in a day, it is worthwhile to get a full day pass. There are also passes available for multiple days, or even a month. The transit system is generally safe, just take normal safety precautions.
If you want to drive in Chicago, parking is hard to find and expensive. The farther from downtown you go the easier it is to find parking, but parking meters seem to be popping up everywhere! Taxis are very costly, but safe. Estimate the fare here: http://www.taxifarefinder.com/ Knowing the closest intersection to your destination will help the driver as they often dont know the city as well as they should!
After four years of living in the city I havent had a dull moment yet, so come expecting a lot to do!
Suburbs of Chicago
Arlington Race Track is a fun place to spend the day watching horse races. This has its own Metra train stop on the Northwest line from Chicago, easily accessible!
Woodfield Mall is a large mall with lots of great shopping choices! Most easily accessed by car.
Six Flags Great America is a large theme park with a lot to keep you entertained! There are roller coasters, shows, and games. Come in October for Fright Fest! There is a neighboring waterpark. Each is perfect for a day trip. Accessible from Chicago by public transportation but accessed best by car.
The Morton Arboretum holds beautiful trees from many countries, and there are many miles of fantastic trails. Town accessible by public transportation. Come in fall to see the leaves change color!
Central Illinois
Springfield is the Capital of Illinois. It has a lot of rich history including a lot dedicated to President Abraham Lincoln. My personal favorite is the tour of his home! If you are there at the right time of year you can catch the State Fair!
Also explore Amish communities within the state. These are groups of people who live a lifestyle of simple living, simple dress, and without modern convenience. They are usually part of the Mennonite Christian faith. http://www.amishcenter.com/
North, West, and South Regions
Starved Rock State Park is an absolutely beautiful park, and a must visit if you can get there! There are many lodging options available, or you can camp within the park. Search around for other campsites that have a cheaper fee!
There are a lot of great camping options in Southern Illinois, so look there and find many fantastic places to explore! Also stop to see the beautiful prairielands that Illinois is working hard to restore.
Roadside America: Check roadside America for any interesting stops on your drive to a destination in or through Illinois. Always makes for interesting stops! http://www.roadsideamerica.com/map/il. The famous route 66 starts in Illinois, a perfect route to travel for road trips!

The Journey - July 22, 2013
Wait for Him | Isaiah 30:18
Isaiah 30:18 Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!
God's people were not acting like God's people. They were "heaping sin upon sin." They were rebellious, deceitful, and unwilling to listen to God's instructions. They formed an alliance with Egypt, looking to Pharaoh, instead of God, for help. They rejected the prophets and told them, "Give us no more visions of what is right…and stop confronting us with the Holy One of Israel!"
Yet…look at today's passage…God desires to pour out His grace. God can't wait to demonstrate His great compassion. Certainly, He is a God of justice and there are consequences for sin. But like a loving father who disciplines his child for playing in a dangerous street, God holds us tight and reminds us how much He loves us and cares for us.
Too often our sin occurs because things aren't happening the way we think they should or as fast as we think they should. Our impatience moves us to take matters into our own hands. We like it when we are in control…or at least feel like we are in control. But God blesses those who wait for His will to be shown, His way to be revealed, and His path to be illuminated. "Blessed are all who wait for him!"
Father, thank You for Your great grace and compassion. Thank You for desiring to pour out Your grace and love on us. Thank You even for Your discipline when we play on the dangerous road of sin. Give us patience to wait on Your will in Your time. In Jesus' name. Amen.

By Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield - bio | email
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, SC (WIS) - A man playing softball with a group of kids was killed and four others were injured Tuesday evening when a ferocious thunderstorm blew through the Ruby community.
Director of Emergency Management Harold Hainey said 26-year-old Michael Gullege were part of a group of neighborhood kids and adults playing softball around 7:30 on Thurman Ave. near Highway 9 when the fatal lightning strike happened.
The bolt killed Gullege and sent three others, including a child, to Chesterfield General Hospital, Hainey said. None of the injuries were considered serious.
Gullege's mother said the group was trying to form a church softball team when the accident occurred.
Photo Slideshow Click to photos of Michael Gullege and the scene of the lightning strike
The three that were transported were taken to hospital were treated and released. One man refused treatment on the scene.
"He was strong, loving kind, but he was mean when he wanted to be," laughed Deadria Clendenin.Still, Gullege's girlfriend says he was a charmer. "At first we were just really good friends, but there was no way I could be really good friends with someone as amazing as he was, the most amazing man there was in the whole world," said Marion Mathis.Gullege liked playing softball, and was getting a church league together at a field to practice when the lightning struck. "I feel like that was the only thing that could kill him," said Mathis. "Only the power of God could kill him.""We had him at the same hospital we lost him at," said Clendenin. "Coincidentally, he passed on the day his father and I got married."It's the same hospital where Gullege became a dad to Shelby three years ago. "When she was born, it was one of the happiest days of his life," said Clendenin. "He loved her more than life itself and she loved him." Gullege had half custody of his little girl. The family says they don't know how to tell her what no one can explain, how a man so full of life could die like so few have."We wanted to have kids of our own and get married," said Mathis. "We were ready. We wanted that. We dreamed of everything together."
The National Weather Service last recorded a lightning death in South Carolina in July 2008 when 19-year-old Corey Moore was hit while riding a personal watercraft on Lake Marion.
Meteorologist Ben Tanner says isolated strong or severe storms are possible again Thursday night.

Rated 2.5 / 5 stars January 30, 2010
I find no comical humor in this. Just alot of randomness.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars January 21, 2010
Not bad but..
There were too many new ideas in this episode, you should have just repackaged some stuff from older episodes in a slightly different way
Should I? That sounds like a strange suggestion.

The Role Of Fdi Intensity In Achieving Productivity Driven Growth In Malaysian Economy
AbstractThis study investigates the decomposition of labour productivity growth into contributions of capital deepening, increased usage of Foreign Direct Investment intensity (FDI intensity), and the simultaneous contribution of the quality of these factors. This is expressed as the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) per unit of labour growth in achieving productivity-driven growth in the Malaysian economy. The results of this modified extensive growth theory model show that the productivity growth of Malaysia's economy is input-driven and being based on FDI when the results of TFP per unit of labour growth were compared. The study also finds that there is a negative contribution of the TFP per unit of labour growth during the sub-period of 1987-1996, although the contribution of the labour productivity was one of the highest during this sub-period.

Student protests are not being ruled out as a response to the stagnation in the publication of results. The University Students' Council (KSU) said they will take all steps necessary to protect basic rights of the student population during a press conference held at the University this morning.
According to a recent online survey conducted by Insite, 83% of the 313 University student respondents said that they have not yet received any results. In the past few days, the council has received over 200 complaints from worried students and their families.
Without their results, students wanting to apply for Erasmus programmes or to submit their thesis proposals risk missing deadlines.
KSU president Gayle Lynn Callus said that it is unacceptable for students to be used as "chess pieces" in discussions between the government and teachers' unions. He added that the council does not want to complicate these negotiations, but wants to represent students when they are directly affected.
Education Minister Dr Evarist Bartolo had promised KSU on July 3, one day before the unions declared industrial action, that a long-term solution would be found.
Callus said that student protests will be considered as a response if the issue is not resolved soon. In the meantime, KSU encourages students to continue sending complaints.
