William McKinley (January 29, 1843 – September 14, 1901) was the 25th President of the United States, from 1897 until his assassination in 1901. McKinley's inauguration was the first presidential inauguration to be filmed.[1]
He began the era of imperialism for the United States by declaring war against Spain in Latin America because of the USS Maine sinking the public crying for war. He led the country through the Spanish-American War. During his term, he also supported higher tariffs (taxes on countries which trade with the US). During his term, the United States annexed Hawaii, Cuba, the Philippines, and Wake Island. Before he became President, he had been a congressman of Ohio.
McKinley was elected to a second term as president in 1900, but his second term did not last very long. He was shot by an anarchist named Leon Czolgosz on September 6, 1901, and died on September 14. Czolgosz claimed the President committed war crimes in the American Philippines war and was an enemy of the people. Czolgosz was executed in the electric chair. McKinley was the third American President to be assassinated.
After McKinley's death, his vice-president Theodore Roosevelt became president.

Are we green?
All the best of the season to you, and i wish you great strides for the new year.
i replied to Holto privately about this question of my research area, which he has not yet acknowledged to me directly or on the board - that's curious, but it's holto's perogative.
I'm also not sure what the big deal is about my area of research: i'm not speaking ex cathedra; i generally point to places where what i've said is supported. So i'm mainly translating/presenting research here. Anyone can check out those sources and judge for themselves whether i've presented it accurately: that's why i put the links in or point to programs or whatever that inform that perspective.
I hope my posts can therefore be taken on their merits.
best of the season to all

This was partly due to you briefly discussing the letters "Dr." in front of your signed user name when replying to posts, that was called into question by user(s).
While many people question eachother and have differing opinions pertaining to researched areas/studies (that often conflict eachother), I feel that if someone throws the letters Dr. in front of their name, they did it for a specific reason, and they should be prepared to answers questions from members of this site pertaining to such (especially after being asked 5 direct times and 1 indirect time).
I was not e-ttacking you, if it was perceived.

I wrote a little article on this. You may find it helpful.
Any references there, much obliged, with thanks.
if i may also offer a clarification, about tabata, which you also mention in your piece: for that *specific* protocol, cadence is critical, which is something that many people miss. It is not only the 20sec on "really brutally hard" and 10sec off for 8 repeats - i'm not saying that that isn't a dam hard interval you've described; it is just not the tabata protocol for improving VO2 max, which just happened to have a side benefit of getting at subcutaneous fat.
While it is possible to do 20hard/10stop of any activity, it would be very difficult to do the tabata on anything other than a bike or perhaps a rowing machine (on treadmills, people can collapse). Indeed, the only way the protocol has been successfully measured is on a bike, because of the use of specific cadence and load as measures.
There has been critique of tabata for VO2 max, and consequently at least one other protocol has been strictly defined to improve on tabata for VO2max work. This one uses kettlebells to stimulate VO2max (and have a consequent effect on fat loss): again, cadence (no. of swings per minute) and load (size of kettlebell) are key components.
A side benefit of kettlebell VO2 work is that swings and snatches with KB's have direct cross over benefit for powerlifting/weightlifting.
But i offer this as an aside. The tabata work was not focused on fat loss; it was focused on VO2max improvements and determinng the most efficient intervals for that. The point is intervals are great for helping fat utilization/burning.
It was interesting to read your hill workouts.
A couple of questions: Do you, by the way, have any references that point towards the interval periods of work/rest you recommend? I'm always looking for this kind of reference, and would be much obliged.
I may have missed it, but you don't seem to mention heart rate related to the degree of incline in your intervals. For athletic training, in any case, it's usual to determine either bike or eliptical gearing or treadmill incline or speed based on % of heart rate targeted for that interval. Tabata, for instance, definitely uses %VO2max as a measure for determining gearing and mere mortals without this kind of apparatus use %ofMaxHR. Some more formal presentations on HIIT definitely use HR% as measures.
Others just say "go all our for x" rather than gating it at some measurable output or work level. I don't quite understand how this kind of interval work is determined as effective or not, since there's no direct correlation to HR%max either to confirm how you're doing on a given day or to note improvement over time, or to know, more importantly, if a given gearing or incline is either right for you, or pushing into over training/over work. Is there a reason, therefore, you in particular don't use heart rate?
with thanks and
best of the holidays
These work like a hot damn in this regard.
With reference to the value of heart rate when doing HIIT, for those who may be interested, fyi
I've never checked my pulse while doing any of my training. I have no intention of starting now. The only reason I do these is to build up VO2 max in a hurry - without having to do so much cardio I lose mass or risk converting too much transitional fibre to slow twitch analogues.
this piece by dr. mark tallon. You'll notice there's a point of diminishing return in going beyond 75% VO2max rate (approx 85% max heart rate) for the fat burning effect.
best of the season,

The above exchange about HIIT - and the rationale proposed by Built for doing it -- "What we hope to effect with HIIT is catecholamine release" -- took me by surprise. My awareness of interval work in terms of research on both improving VO2max and consequent effect in fat burning was different than this model. Indeed, that this stress-induced effect was of less consequence than the long term oxidative metabolism revving.
The following is a meditation to unpack this rationale.
If i'm reflecting Built's position correctly, the main reason for HIIT is to motivate the release of fat to be burned. Catecholamines are definitely one hormone that is invoked naturally when the body is under stress. The release of fat for energy use is one of the consequences.
I haven't been able to find any research that conclusively shows that the kind of stress produced by intervals causes the release of catecholamines. The closest i've found is a reference from Men's Health to very new work that has yet to be peer-reviewed (published) , where the authors only hypothesize around catecholamines release being a reason for the big fat burn experienced in a VERY SPECIFIC protocol: 8sec sprint; 12 secs low to no work for 20 mins. This sounds remarkably like Tabbata with the emphasis on fat loss rather VO2max improvement. I'll be interested to see the final full version of this work once it's been through peer review. The reason peer review is so important: experts in the field look at the protocol/methodology of the study, at the stats, to see if the method is reasonable and repeatable for the claims made; that some other factors weren't involved in getting the results etc. But right now, this is all speculation until the paper is either published or else made available for scrutiny.
This doesn't mean that catecholamine release is not happening, it's just that i have seen no work to indicate at what kind of intensity, for instance, catecholamines are released in interval work, or that this particular hormone is responsible etc etc.
But beyond the role or not of catecholamines, there's a lot of science we do have about HIIT. I'll come onto that in a moment.
The subsequent part of Built's presented model, if i'm hearing it right, is that low level cardio following the intervals acts like a hoover to suck up all that loosened off fat "before they [the fat] reesterify and redeposit on your ass".
There's no doubt that low level cardio (sub 60%MHR) burns fat and has a nice effect on the heart. Lots of people lose weight just by walking, after all. A 20min low level cardio session is going to burn maybe 100calories, and every little bit helps, for sure. More on another model for why post hiit light cardio might be useful is presented below.
Before that, the question i have with this model is that it seems to focus more on the activity - the particular fat released and potentially burned in the session - than the whole impact of the activity for the 24-48hours post the interval session - something which science has definitely shown occurs.
Don't misunderstand me: there's obvious value in the interval itself, not just its side effects: intervals certainly cause a lot of energy burning directly during the event. There may also be catecholamines operating. But beyond this speculation, there's good research around a different way of looking at HIIT.
A bit of history: the primary training rationale for intervals over CONSTANT steady state HIGH intensity work is to improve both VO2max and lactate threshold: intervals are more efficient at increasing VO2/lactate threshold performance. The work/break/work/break enables the boundary to be pushed higher/harder. The important bit in here is oxygen uptake. The more efficiently you can utilize oxygen the better you can perform athletically: respiration reflects a bunch of over systems improving - it's a great measure.
Now, a simple side effect of greater O2 uptake is greater oxidation of fat. In high intensity activities, we mobilize phosphagen stores, then glycogen (blood sugar) - these are our anaerobic metabolic systems. They don't work independently of each other; one predominates under certain conditions.
My understanding is that intense activity causes glycogen stores to be effectively maxed out. That means that other energy sources have to be used. That's fat. Fat can only really be burned in the presence of O2. Hence the Aerobic system (aerobic just means with oxygen).
How this ties in with intervals: first EPOC, then life. Excess post exercise oxygen consumption, or oxygen debt developed by exertion - all to do with ATP, lactic acid and getting that acid cleared out of the system. Repaying that 02 debt has your 02 metabolism operating at a higher than normal rate. The 02 metabolism uses fat as its primary energy source. Thus, intervals which drive up o2 debt, keep the 02 metabolism revving to repay that debt. Depending on the intensity and duration, that debt can take 2-3 days to repay. (a few articles cited here)
In other words, the biggest benefit of intervals is the upped 02 metabolism, which (a) burns fat and (b) stays revved a long time (as in days) after HIIT
This is not to say that there is no catecholamine release that is related to lipase which is an enzyme that gets the fat out to be used for energy. What i would suggest is that while that is a good thing, that is not the biggest fat-burning benefit of HIIT. We know that this release occurs when lifting HEAVY - or when the whole flight of fight response is triggered.
It may signal that glycogen stores have likely been sapped, and a shot of carbs would actually be a good thing (fat doesn't burn well without carbs present; it's important to restore glycogen availability to the liver/muscles).
Likewise, there are good reasons for cooling down post HIIT with aerobic work. As summarised by eric cressey
Following the bout of HIIT, a brief (i.e. 5-15 minutes) session of low-intensity aerobics might work to enhance fat loss. It appears that inadequate blood flow to adipose tissue during high-intensity exercise is the culprit behind reduced fat oxidation (26). As a result, immediately upon cessation of high-intensity exercise, there is a marked increase in the concentration of plasma free fatty acids (2). By exercising at an intensity that relies primarily on the use of plasma fatty acids (i.e. less than 60% of heart rate reserve), you will maximize adipose tissue lipolysis and fat oxidation.
2. Rasmussen BB, Holmback UC, Volpi E, Morio-Liondore B, Paddon-Jones D, Wolfe RR. Malonyl coenzyme A and the regulation of functional carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 activity and fat oxidation in human skeletal muscle. J Clin Invest 2002 Dec;110(11):1687-93.
26. Samra JS, et al. Effects of epinephrine infusion on adipose tissue: interactions between blood flow and lipid metabolism. Am J Physiol. 1996 Nov;271(5 Pt 1):E834-9.
Bottom line with respect to fat burning: getting the oxidative metabolism revved up means fat burning. A great way to get the oxidative metabolism revved is HIIT to drive oxygen debt. O2 debt LASTS - so that rev can be burning calories - burning fat - for a looong time post HIIT. Because aerobic exercise (sub 60% intensity) doesn't induce this o2 debt, its effects are more limited to the calories burn during just that particular session.
Forgive me if this entire cycle is known to all folks reading here. It's been helpful for me to think about HIIT and really work through the process in light of established research.
Time to go work out,
Season's Best
ps - if you're interested in sources to walk through intervals, EPOC and the rest, there are a couple of well regarded texts,
The NSCA's Essentials of strength and conditioning
Exercise Physiology: Human Bioenergetics and Its Applications Brooks, Fahey and Baldwin - 4th Edition.
There's a lot of articles on the "hierarchy of substrates" used in intervals too - how this is done with rats frequently is rather sad (i prefer human studies).
Checking Pubmed or Medline will bring them up.
There's also a couple year old summary by Kravitz

In her ongoing meet-and-greet with the American people, the Republican "FLOTUS nominee" Ann Romney has been an open book about her many health challenges. In addition to facing several miscarriages and being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Romney was also diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008. Thankfully, she has been cancer-free since undergoing a lumpectomy the same year.
Like Romney, quite a few very prominent, powerful women have fought the disease -- and then fought for greater awareness of it. Here, five other brave women in politics who battled breast cancer ...
Image via CafeMomStudios/YouTube
Maressa, I'm surprised you haven't called out Ann Romney for using her breast cancer to get votes for her husband. According to your last article about her miscarriage, clearly you aren't above it.
Maressa was just accusing Mrs. Romeny of using her miscarriages as a way to get votes for her husband! Now, I'm confused on whether on not Maressa likes Mrs. Romney or not.
So Maressa, I'm confused - because she is rich her miscarriage wasn't painful and just for votes, but breast cancer causes empathy in you? Not buying your kindness for a second.
Attention everyone: I've come to the conclusion that Maressa writes controversial blogs about Mrs. Romney to get us to read and comment on her posts.
Maressa, I wonder how that makes you feel. I'm sure you that whether or not it's true you didn't like it that I said that. I was shocked that you were the author of the miscarriage article because you write for women's magazine, too. I don't even plan on voting for the Romney/Ryan ticket, but I still respect them because they are human beings. You might want to consider the same.

MADISON, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Bret Bielema leaves another hole in the Badger football coaching staff.
After saying this past weekend that he's not going anywhere in the near future, Wisconsin defensive coordinator Chris Ash will join Bielema at Arkansas.
Ash will become the Razorbacks new defensive leader after three seasons at Wisconsin. The Badgers boasted the country's 13th best in total defense and were 24th in passing defense.
Arkansas certainly needs help on that side of the ball. They were 113th in pass-defense this past season.

Back-to-School Dinners: It's in the Bag
Boil Up Whole Grains Twice a Week
Two days a week, I boil up whole grains, such as pasta, rice, or orzo to serve as the base of the meal. Precooking grains does not compromise the flavor or texture at all. I usually boil up pasta on Sunday and brown rice midweek. Store the grains in the Ziploc baggie, with a touch of olive oil to prevent sticking. How many times do we tell our kids "Dinner will be ready as soon as the pasta is done"? This way, pasta is always cooked and ready to go, which means avoiding that annoying after-work rush that comes with dinner.
Stretch the Grains with Veggies
In the last few minutes of boiling your whole grains, add fresh or frozen veggies to the pot. Whenever I cook up penne, I throw in broccoli crowns. After you strain and cool, add the mixture to a storage baggie and you have the beginnings of a quick chicken, broccoli, and penne dinner. Slightly undercook the veggies to maximize nutrients. When boiling brown rice, throw in a frozen bag of stir-fry veggies. Now a shrimp or tofu stir-fry is minutes away midweek.
Pre-Cook Protein
Two days a week, cook up some chicken, shrimp, beef, or tofu. Slice or cube and bag it for quick protein choices throughout the week. Simply season with salt and pepper so you can keep the possibilities endless as far as sauces or seasonings go. Once or twice a week, add canned beans to save even more time and money. Not to mention, the beans require no cooking whatsoever and are loaded with protein and fiber to fill your family up!
Get Saucy
Stock up on several bottled or canned sauces to pull the meal bags together. Orange sesame stir-fry sauce would taste great with a shrimp stir-fry combo, salsa is great with a black bean and veggie rice combo, and Thai peanut sauce is terrific with just about everything. If your family has simpler tastes, simply add olive oil, chopped garlic, and fresh herbs to the bagged combinations for a simple and healthy twist on dinner.

I never would have thought to precook pasta. The bags are a great idea too because they store well in the fridge.
Good article.
Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

A small south side San Antonio church became a place of fear and shame for children who allege they were victims in the 1980s of sexual abuse by a prominent priest. Humberto Leal, a death row inmate convicted of raping and bludgeoning to death a 16-year-old girl, says he is one of those victims. Now, others who attended St. Clare's have been spurred by Leal's recent revelations to come forward, hoping to stop Leal's execution and spur law enforcement to investigate and prosecute the priest.Full Story

I'm sure if you google 'Blaine Anderson shirtless', you'll be able to answer that yourself. And thank you! That's really sweet of you.
…………….what? Can I just, you know, pass on that? Not that they're unappealing guys because they're both greater than great, but…. what? No.
5'9, I think. I don't really weigh or measure myself that often - only when I get physicals. It says 5'9 if you google my stats though!
I'm not entirely sure what this entails… New Directions is currently in Boston at the House of Blues tonight so I'm super excitedd, but I can totally answer questions while doing my vocal warm ups. (:
Yes I am! Believe it! (:
Hm… yeah, definitely. Either I'd have wanted a job in the music industry or I'd have probably opened up a coffee shop and supported the arts in some way. I still hope to, actually, though in the future.

Year of Arrival 1940
Editor's note: Shortly after we posted the profile of Alfred and Klara Marrill, AIISF was contacted by Richard Kobayashi, who is the grandson of Alfred and Klara Marill. His mother is Alice Marill Kobayashi, who journeyed to the U.S. a year before her parents came through Angel Island. Richard's sister Carol read the profile online and Richard very graciously sent us his grandfather's detailed account of their journey from Vienna to Angel Island in 1940. Read Alfred's Journal below.

His account of life in the Detention Barracks provides a detailed description of the isolation and anxiety immigrants experienced.
Nakamura, Kiyoye : Kiyoye Nakamura: Picture Bride by Tene Woo Kember
Year of Arrival 1918
Editor's note: After we posted Tene's article, we received inquiries about the status of Kiyoye Nakamura. Did we know if she was able to land in the United States (this information for some reason was not in her file)? We did some more research and found the good news that it appears that the Nakamuras were listed in the 1930 census in Vacaville, California, with a three year old son, but the sad news that Kiyoye passed away of cancer in Vacaville in 1937. We also found a ship log showing Toragusu returning to the U.S. in 1940, with no listing for his son and can only speculate that he brought his son back to Japan to be raised.

I was born in San Francisco at St. Luke Hospital on June 26, 1923. When I was 4 months old, my parents took me to Detroit, Michigan to enable themselves to open a laundry there. Due to the fast progression of the Ford and the General Motors Corp. business had expanded. Thus, the laundry business was a good thriving business. My parents heard of it through word of mouth. However mom had bad health problems. Medical bills used up the earnings. My dad's mother, Grandma Yee, who lives in a remote village in China, sent word for my dad to return to China to remarry, after my mother died at age 32. I was the oldest at 12 years old. There were six of us. The youngest was one year old, not yet two. We arrived in China on January 1936. I became ill, then bedridden for two years, during the latter part of my four-year stay in China.

A primer on the EPA's Water Quality Trading Policy
Although water quality trading programs have been conducted in a handful of states since the 1990s, interest spiked after the EPA released its Water Quality Trading Policy in 2003.
Intended as a guideline for states to develop voluntary trading programs, the policy sets forth recommendations for establishing a framework to facilitate the development of pollution credits and the means by which such credits can be traded among point sources, or among point sources and nonpoint sources.

My SistersI had three younger sisters, 4, 5, and 7 years younger than me. I guess that a lot of things came into play to influence me. It seemed at the time they always got treated better than me. I wondered if it was because of what they wore. There was a lot of curiosity involved. Then puberty hit. I was in Jr. High, they were in elementary, and once in a while things would line up just right and Dad would be on afternoon shift and Mom and the girls would be in Primary. On those days I would think, "If I see a girl from each grade wearing nylons then I'll go home and dress up." Usually I did. I'd use sister 1's dress and sister 2's shoes (that's what fit at the time.) I had also seen girls at school playing on the sidewalk hand rails swinging on them and wondered if their dresses got in the way and how did it feel to straddle things that way. So once I was dressed I would straddle the tub until I git that special "feeling" down there. I had no idea about what was going on, I'd never had "the talk" and thought that I just hadn't emptied my bladder enough. By the time I found out I was seriously hooked.
With me, it was the sight of the little girls, all wearing dresses to school back then and the glimpses of their petticoats peeking out. I kept wondering how it felt to have all that soft material swishing around my legs. Well, it's great. I now have 5 petticoats and a lot of pretty little dresses.
Great experience. Thanks for sharing.
That first time that I dressed has given me the happiest memories in life. Wonderful article, thank you for sharing. Feel free to add me.
Funny how our young minds came up with ways to justify or entice us to dress up. I remember being really jealous that girls got to wear pantyhose all day and i couldn't. Seeing the teacher wear too was just too much and on those days i would end up in moms room after school trying on different things.
I think we all got hooked from the first time we tried on pantyhose.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide
Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
The XtremeMac AirPlay, a shoddy FM transmitter specifically designed for the Apple iPod Shuffle, is a very expensive accessory for a very inexpensive player.
Pricing not available
Even though it's definitely not one of the more effective FM transmitters we've tested, we liked the AirPlay's minimalist design and decent sound quality.
If you want to learn more about the stars, planets, and satellites spinning around us at all times of the day, Sky Guide is the best app to do it with.
Pricing not available
Style and ease of use mark this basic portable navigation and multimedia device, but the Harman Kardon Guide + Play GPS-500 doesn't offer the same smooth performance and efficiency of competing products.
With a fair price, decent performance, and dead-simple setup, the SMC SMCWGBR14-N Barricade N router is about as well-rounded a Draft N router as you'll find. It also boasts impressive range and a smart design. We strongly recommend it for general home use.
If you can get past the supercompact design and reimagined controls, the Canon PowerShot N is a fine point-and-shoot companion for your smartphone.
As the first "affordable" hi-fi streamer, the Pioneer N-30 puts on a good performance, but the controls could be so much easier to use.
The Belkin N+ Wireless Router is a great performer with excellent range and throughput speed. If its bulky design and lack of 5GHz frequency support don't put you off, the router is worth every penny of its $100 or so price tag.
We really like the office-oriented Xerox 6180/N for its quick, high-quality prints, but the Lexmark C530dn provides more bang for your buck and slightly better quality.
The Xerox Phaser 6115MFP/N has the potential to be a great printer, but it falls short in the end. Still, it does some things right, and has a generous feature set. Stock up on patience before using this multifunction laser printer.

TEAMS: New York Mets, Seattle Mariners
The words seared into my consciousness. I previously defended Sandy Alderson, thinking as a hired gun his job was to pare payroll and ease the Mets' financial strain, which he did. However, there is no defending what he said yesterday at the Mets' Annual Christmas party, one where they asked R.A. Dickey to dress as an elf. I usually applaud honesty, but this time it would have been better had Alderson kept his mouth shut. If you're surrendering the season before Christmas, don't come out and say it, not with good will in the air. "I would expect the roster would look similar to what it did at the end of last season – with some exceptions," Alderson said. Ouch … that hurt, but deep down we expected that to be the case all along. Yeah, and those exceptions will put the Mets over the top. Yeah, and I still believe Santa Claus and the M & M talking candies do exist. Alderson doesn't think much of the FA market and the Mets have precious little to trade. If he thinks that cupboard is...

I have given ResourceSpace it's own website, so that it is seen more of a project in itself rather than part of Montala. http://www.resourcespace.org/ I think it's the right thing to do for the software. Your feedback is appreciated. If any developers want to add themselves or their company details to the 'services' page please let me know. I hope to modify the wiki template to match this site so going to the wiki is seamless. I don't have much time though and doubt I'll get round to it for some months so if someone fancies coming up with a MediaWiki template for this please let me know. Any help with that would be greatly appreciated.

Pininfarina is celebrating their 80th anniversary with the unveiling of the Nido EV prototype - an update version of the 2004 Nido . The Nido EV is an electric car conceived, designed, and built entirely by the Pininfarina Style and Engineering Centre of Cambiano (Turin). This vehicle is the first running prototype of the "Nido Devel opment Programme" and reinforces their direction of providing a safer, more sustainable vehicle that will populate our city's streets.
The Nido EV prototype uses a 30 kilowatt permanent magnet electric motor powered by a Zebra Z5 Ni-NaCl battery, which guarantees very high levels of safety and reliability. When fully charged, it has a range of 140 km and a top speed of 120 km/h (limited electronically), and accelerates 0-60 km/h in 6.7 seconds.
The Pininfarina Nido EV is a small urban 2-seater that supplies the framework for larger vehicles to be built on its platform. No word has been given on when this vehicle will see production, but we think that it will only be a matter of time before we see these vehicles clustered on our city streets.
Press release after the jump.

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News)- 1.3 million are reported to have lost long term unemployment benefits on December 28.
For many in Lake Providence in East Carroll Parish that means a lot of people will be left with out a source of income.
State unemployment numbers were released in November and showed the state to have a decrease of .2%.
Out of 64 parishes, only 3 had an increase or showed no improvement. West Carroll and Grant Parishes had the increases in unemployment. Franklin Parish however, didn't have any changes in their numbers.
East Carroll is said to be amongst the poorest parishes in America and leads the state with a 12.9% unemployment rate.

In September 2001, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools moved high school football kickoffs up 30 minutes to 7 p.m. Turns out that was a brilliant move. I remember back in the 80s, games started at 8 p.m.
Vance High first-year football coach Aaron Brand is not shy. He promised in July that he would have a quick and profound effect on the program.
Lightning: Forced delays around the area and also forced cancelation of the highly anticipated halftime battle of the bands between West Charlotte and Harding. In Union County, Sun Valley's and Monroe's scoreboards were hit by lightning and were knocked out of service.
After 33 years of being a head high school football coach, Charlotte Country Day's Bob Witman is beginning to think about what life would be like without a whistle.
Believe it or not, Mecklenburg County football wasnt always strong. After South Mecklenburg won a N.C. 4A championship in 1981, the county didnt produce another public school champion until 1995, when West Charlotte won its first and only title.
Langston Wertz Jr.'s thoughts on the first night of high school football for most area teams centers on Rocky River's title hopes, Davidson Day's numbers, West Meck's new stadium, the legend coming to Providence, Olympic's big night and Sun Valley's wicked schedule
After East Carteret and Community School of Davidson played 110 minutes of soccer in the N.C. 1A state championship game Saturday, the teams lined up for penalty kicks. CSD goalie Madison Good jogged down to the goal and admitted she was scared to death.
Myers Parks Rydeiah Rogers, playing Saturday night on the N.C. State campus, turned in one of the best performances ever by a Mecklenburg County player in a state championship game.
Lake Norman forward Kishawn Pritchett, who hit the game-winning buzzer beater to beat Ardrey Kell 45-43 in the N.C. 4A quarterfinals Thursday, had to work his way back after breaking his ankle in a pick-up basketball game.
Weddington High girls' basketball star Stephanie Watts was off Wednesday in the N.C. 3A Western Regional semifinals.

Dozens of lawsuits against thousands of people at one go, are proof of copyright trolling, as the media calls it. But some judges quickly became aware of these techniques, and are not in the mood to put up with them. The latest case is Massachusetts' federal Judge Leo Sorokin.
The case involves several publishers of pornographic material who decided to sue thousands of people for downloading their copyrighted movies. One of these publishers is Patrick Collins Inc., which filed against 11.570 John Does. The problem is that the company has failed to name any of those defendants.
"Not only have Plaintiffs failed to articulate a discovery plan that would lead to identifying the infringers they have sued, but the Plaintiffs cannot even articulate the specific information they need or require in order to identify the infringers," reads the judge's decision.
When Judge Leo Sorokin asked the plaintiffs' attorney with what kind information can he help, the attorney replied:
"I don't think there is a specific set of information we need… I'd like to keep this as least burdensome as possible and as least costly as possible. Opening communications between me and the Does or me and the subscribers is, I think, the best course of action."
In other words, the company's legal representative asked the judge for the subscribers' names, but not with intentions of moving forward with the legal procedures.
Judge Sorokin points out that "the history of this litigation" proves a "lack of interest in actually litigating" the case against any specific defendant.
"The Plaintiffs have repeatedly said one thing and done another," Sorokin wrote.
"The Plaintiffs' counsel has also repeatedly said to the undersigned, and to other judicial officers of this Court, that he intends to litigate the claims he has brought. Yet to date, counsel has sued well in excess of one thousand Doe Defendants in this District, and as far as the Court is aware, he has never served a Complaint upon a single individual defendant."
As such, Judge Sorokin gave the company an ultimatum: November 16 will be their last chance to provide with information on why this lawsuit was filed at all.

From Feb. 11-12, Southwestern will host the thirty-second annual Brown Symposium. This year's event is named "Imperivm: The Art of Empire in Rome and America" and will explore the ideas and extent of the influence that the dynamic Roman empire has on today's society and politics.
The various and what is promised to be very interesting presentations will discuss the many aspects of the Roman empire that still fascinate people to this day as they analyze the complicated "art of power."
The Brown Symposium is a two-day event, first established in 1978, which the SU community has faithfully kept alive. Geared to those wanting to be educated, the Brown Symposium has explored a broad and wide range of topics such as "The Human Genome Project: Advances, Repercussions and Challenges," in 1998, to "Gods, Giants and Monkeys: The Ramakian in the Arts and Culture of Thailand," in 1989.
The Brown Foundation endows the forum with the purpose of collecting a variety of distinguished leaders of their respective fields on a certain topic for a wide platform of discussion. The Southwestern University website includes a list of speakers. For more information visit http://www.southwestern.edu/academics/brownsymposium/index.php
9:15 Thomas Howe: Our very own art history professor who will be starting the symposium with his introduction titled "Sub Conspectu Populi: Senatorial Talent and the Republican Empire"
10:30 Karl Galinsky: A professor of classics at the University of Texas at Austin and a prominent modern historian who will be presenting a lecture called "Are We Rome…Really?" that will focus on the differences between Rome and America.
1:30 Margaret Malamud: A professor of history at New Mexico State University, who will be giving a lecture titled "Consummate Empires: Ancient Rome and Imperial America c. 1900" and has published a book dealing with how the legacy of Rome has permeated itself in America's history and political sphere.
2:45 Edward Lucie-Smith: An art critic will be presenting a speech named "Did the Romans Do Post-Modernism?" and has written more than 200 books, including ones discussing artists involved with the revival of classical approaches to art.
9:00 Alexander Stille: A journalism professor at Columbia University will be lecturing on the "Imperial Power in 21st Century Rome," in which he will be mentioning European politicians who use controversial tactics in their means for political control.
10:15 Edward Luttwak: A military historian who will be presenting a lecture titled "Rome and Byzantium, Iraq and Afghanistan," in which he will be discussing how military power is utilized by comparing the Roman military to America's own modern and developing military strategies.
Not only is there an overwhelmingly number of respected lecturers available throughout the symposium, there will also be an art exhibit for all those visually creative minds out there. The exhibit will be led by Thomas Howe and Edward Lucie-Smith. It will, of course, showcase impressive pieces of artwork by Lucie-Smith, Francisco Benitez and Mersad Berber. Furthermore, there will be an evening concert by Organographia that focuses on the revival and rebuilding of Greek and Roman music.
Howe, who spearheaded and organized the event, personally picked the presenters who will be exhibiting their knowledge and work. Howe has much experience in his field, as he has been directing and working on a ten-year long excavation project on a group of villas around Pompeii known as the Restoring Ancient Stabiae Foundation.
In an interview with Howe, he explains why he chose this seemingly high-brow topic and why he was so eager in introducing it to a wider audience. With his background in art history and archeology, the subject of the Brown Symposium should be of no surprise. In addition, his commitment and work to his excavation project created an "[interest] in the historical [and] social story behind those villas" which consequently were "villas of extremely powerful Romans."
As a result of this fascination, he wanted to give people a chance to explore Rome's political rising and significant influence on modern social and political spheres. Howe also stated that he was a bit "irritated with the extent to which people buy into the romantic image of [the villas] as being almost places of a superior lifestyle" and wanted to show the true and much more pragmatic reality to it.
When asked about whether or not this topic was still relevant to today's audience, Howe fervently stood by his choice. He stated that because "America is now being referred to [...] as the fourth Rome," there is still a "fascinat[ion] with the Roman empire as a possible model," although he does not believe it was a perfect predecessor. He states that there is a connection to Rome's historical power to America's own modern power because "there is a certain romance to it, there is a certain fear of it, there is a certain attraction to it, there is a certain repulsion to [the idea that America is such an influential power holder]."
He hopes that today's audience can not only see that Rome's process is still relevant but can also be an example from which we can take away from it "ways [that] it was effective and ways in which it was not". Howe also commented that it indeed takes a "great deal of real talent to effectively create [and operate] power" and there is essentially a fine art to it.
He hopes that the lectures will not only diversify people's pre-conceived ideas about Rome, but that they will also pinpoint the idea that creating power is an art form that is constantly evolving and influencing other cultures.
According to Howe, students are very much encouraged to attend this event. Not only is it right at SU, but the symposium is specifically catered to a "broadly educated student and adult audience," who are willing to learn something new.
He promises that those distinguished presenters will not disappoint with their "innovative insights." He is mostly excited about the speakers and "what [might happen] when they get together" as they react to one another and exchange what is bound to be an exciting dialogue about the past and its direct result to our present and consequently, our future.

Community Organization
Written by: Beth Davies-Stofka
The questions of heresy and schism have plagued the Church from the earliest days of the faith, when doctrinal debates over the true nature of Jesus and his relationship to God threatened to divide the Church. The most severe form of punishment for heresy is excommunication, in which the Christian is excluded from the sacraments, and, in very serious cases, prevented from attending Church services.
Despite efforts to preserve the unity of the Church from the earliest days of Christianity, the Christian Church ultimately separated into two distinct churches: the eastern Church, based in Constantinople, and the western Church, based in Rome, and later in the West, the Protestant churches. Geographical distance and different political and historical challenges gradually divided them and the split was formalized in 1054. Though Christian leaders made attempts to reunite, the Crusaders' decision in 1204 to divert their mission from Egypt to Constantinople and their pillaging of the city sealed the schism. The Muslim armies of the Ottoman dynasty conquered Constantinople in the 15th century, thus finally eliminating the possibility of reunification.
|Nicene Creed
|We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, one
in Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he was born of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified
under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in fulfillment of the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father [and the Son].
With the Father and the Son he is
worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic
and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one
baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
The New Testament, and Jesus himself, places great importance on unity, and Christians are troubled by both ancient and modern divisions within the Church. Divergent views concerning baptism, ordination, and the doctrine of apostolic succession can provoke profound passions. These differences are discussed in the articles devoted to the different Christian traditions. Efforts at reconciliation, like those found in the ecumenical movement, have focused on commonalities of belief and practice between denominations, and there is hope that some major denominations will eventually agree to mutual recognition of baptism and ministry. Although dedicated representatives of the major churches continue to work to build consensus, matters of considerable complexity and importance are at stake and progress toward reconciliation remains slow.
Study Questions:
1. What is the difference between the Catholic Church and the catholic church?
2. How does one become a member of a Christian church?
3. What is heresy? How is it punished?
4. How have schisms affected the organization of Christianity (as a whole)?

Eight Keys to a Great Marriage
Eight Practical Steps that Will Transform Your Marriage
A common reason for marriage problems Introduction
After counseling with hundreds of married couples, I have come to the conclusion that a major reason for marriage problems is that married couples often don't know how to create a great marriage. Their information frequently comes from poor parental examples, TV and movies, and the unrealistic expectation that everything will work out naturally simply because they are in love. Most couples getting married are poorly prepared for marriage.
The following eight key suggestions, adapted from "Marriage by the Book," will help you create a marriage that is rewarding and exciting.
Eight Keys to a Great Marriage
The following are vital ways to create a great marriage. As you read, score yourself as a husband or wife from 0 to 10 on each point.
(c) 2002 Doug Britton, LMFT (Permission granted to print for personal use)
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. (Colossians 3:23)
Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. (Psalm 127:1)
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. (Matthew 7:3-5)
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. (Colossians 3:23)
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. (Colossians 3:13)
Serve one another in love. (Galatians 5:13)Husbands: If your wife won't say what's important to her, work on the following areas that women often say are important:
A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. (Proverbs 25:11)
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (Ephesians 4:29)
Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. (Proverbs 27:6)
Come, my lover, let us go to the countryside, let us spend the night in the villages. Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloomthere I will give you my love. (Song of Songs 7:11-12)

Do you guys believe that biker gangs should be illegal?
I am writing a persuasive essay and I was wondering what the public thought about that topic.
edward long 100+Feb 22 2013: The way your question is worded it appears that biker gangs are not legal now. You might change the word "legal" to "illegal"?
Anyway, I don't think anything should be prohibited by law unless it is contrary to the public good. It is difficult to claim to be a free country while having laws which prohibit certain groups, types, or organizations. To make it a crime to form and operate a social organization based upon a common affinity for motorcycles is totalitarian and un-American. Absolutely YES! Biker gangs should remain legal.
Feb 27 2013: There may be a problem with stereotyping here. Many people associate violence and illegal activity with the term "biker gang". It is worth considering that not all motorcycle based social organizations should be outlawed. A more intelligent approach would be to prosecute illegal activity while leaving law-abiding groups alone. Here is a timely news article: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/02/27/oxford-english-dictionary-softens-definition-biker/?intcmp=HPBucket&intcmp=features
Ed Schulte 50+
Feb 22 2013: As you are writing the persuasive essay, would you like to share the arguments you intend to make? Then people here could comment.
I cannot tell where you are from from your profile, but in the United States I think "biker gang" is another word for motorcycle club- people who get together for bike rides as a big group of people.
They are not a gang in the sense of being engaged in criminal activities. They follow the same driving rules as everyone else on the road. On the freeway, they don't even slow down the traffic, because they move at the same speed as cars.
There are also clubs of people who ride ordinary bicycles and clubs of people who walk together. There are places it is not legal to RIDE a motorcycle or, for that matter, to walk a dog. National Park Trails are an example.
Feb 23 2013: Does you mean that any bikers riding around in groups of more than a certain number, would be illegal?
How do you know what their motives are?
Could you extend that to any other group doing any other activity, like knitting groups? You never know what they might do with those sharp needles.
Feb 23 2013: The area I live in has many biker gangs/groups, and all the members are over 50 (usually with grey hair & expensive bikes).
They follow regular driving rules of the road & are fun to be around. They hold rallies etc. & have a great time. many other groups of lesser ages also sport about. Very few are of the "gang" culture. The lawlessness of a few should NOT affect the goodness of many.
Comment deleted
Feb 23 2013: As the others have commented on the obvious, i'll say " if a group of between 6 and 250 persons meet for a common reason, in one place at the same time, on a regular basis would that define a gang/club?"
I think they should be legal, if for no other reason than the law enforcement resources used to prevent their meeting would be a huge waste.
