Agreed! there is a better way, it begins by addressing the illness not the symptoms. I've watched a few of the News cast and read a few blogs in reference to this incident. The most profound comment I've heard so far, was spoken by the grandfather (Ed White)of the young woman killed. He said, "After it happens we're all going to come together. We're all going to talk. We're all going to make a lot of promises we arent going to keep,. This is because Politicians, Religious leaders and City officials "never" intend on solving inner city violence. This violence is "blowback", these aren't Neighborhoods or Communities. But "Reservations", they're manufactured and sustained by design. Every major & minor city in America has one. Crime & violence, is good news for a fascist capitalist system. Every element profits from that system, Mayors, Councilmen, Clergy, Lawyers & Doctors etc and that's only at the local area. Nationally, when your economic base (banks, Wall Street)is propped up on the backs of illegal drugs, money laundering & drug profits. How can you then effectively detour or defeat inner city violence? Threat the "illness" or maybe get around to admitting it exist, and perhaps the nation will began it's journey towards wellness.

LOUISVILLE, KY.(WDRB)-- Louisville Metro Police have made an arrest after two deadly shootings in west Louisville. Police say in the middle of a double homicide investigation in west Louisville, Cheetara Goldsmith pulled out a gun and shot and killed another woman.
Last Thursday afternoon on 32nd Street in west Louisville, dozens of police, neighbors, and members of the media were on the scene when police say Goldsmith and 24-year-old Makeba Lee started arguing. Police say Goldsmith pulled out a gun and shot Lee to death.
It all started after four other men were involved in a shootout earlier that day. 22-year-old Craig Blande, Jr. and 24-year-old Tyson Mimms were both pronounced dead at the scene and on Monday, police were asking the public to help solve the case.
For an earlier story on both shootings, click here.
LMPD Chief Steve Conrad explained, "We know that there were people out at the scene who saw the altercation before the shooting. We know that were people out there who saw what occurred during the shooting. For all we know, there may even be other people who were involved in the incident. At this point we don't know everything."
For an earlier story on a police appeal for information, click here.
Funeral services were held Monday for Makeba Lee. Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of people gathered at Portland Memorial Baptist Church for the service.
Meanwhile, Cheetara Goldsmith, who was shot by Metro Police, is still in the hospital recovering from her injuries.

Released: Jun 01st, 2003
Running Time: 125
Company: Xplore Media Group
Cast: Jamie (I), Roxanne (I), Betisia, Leila, Drimla, Alex (I), Barbara (I), Ziola
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Pro-Am
The brunette babes on the cover will attract, their sexy exploits inside will keep them coming back.
The box says it's the girls' first-time lesbian experiences, and if that's the case, they all adapted very quickly. Two of the tape's stars, box cover girls Jamie and Drimla, even show us a couple first-times, since they each appear in a pair of scenes.
Of course, when they look like these two, twice is nice. And when they appear together, as they do in the opening scene, all the better. These two scorching brunettes seem to sincerely enjoy each other and fuck and suck each other as though they couldn't care less about the camera.
Unfortunately, all too often the camera guy doesn't seem to care about the camera, either. The focus goes all out of whack, sometimes at crucial moments, and in one outdoor scene the girls are half in the sun and half in the shade. May as well have sent the girls out there with their own camera.
Still, despite technical deficiencies - and this is an amateur tape after all -TSK10 is absolutely watchable. The lapses in technical proficiency are easily made up for by the hotties and their seriously sexy and enthusiastic scenes, which make up the majority of this vid. A couple of these girls may not be amateurs for long.

VATICAN CITY (AP) Ś Pope Francis lamented that a ôgay lobbyö was at work at the Vatican in private remarks to the leadership of a key Latin American church group Ś a stunning acknowledgment that appears to confirm earlier reports about corruption and dysfunction in the Holy See.
The Latin American and Caribbean Confederation of Religious Ś the regional organization for priests and nuns of religious orders Ś confirmed Tuesday that its leaders had written a synthesis of Francisĺ remarks after their June 6 audience. The group, known by its Spanish acronym CLAR, said it was greatly distressed that the document had been published and apologized to the pope.
In the document, Francis is quoted as saying that while there were many holy people in the Vatican, there was also corruption: ôThe Ĺgay lobbyĺ is mentioned, and it is true, it is there ... We need to see what we can do ...ö the synthesis reads.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said Tuesday the audience was private and that as a result he had nothing to say.
In the days leading up to Pope Benedict XVIĺs Feb. 28 resignation, Italian media were rife with reports of a ôgay lobbyö influencing papal decision-making and Vatican policy through blackmail, and suggestions that the scandal had led in part to Benedictĺs decision to resign.
The unsourced reports, in the Rome daily La Repubblica and the news magazine Panorama, said details of the scandal were laid out in the secret dossier prepared for Benedict by three trusted cardinals who investigated the leaks of papal documents last year. Benedict left the dossier for Francis.
At the time, the Vatican denounced the reporting as defamatory, ôunverified, unverifiable or completely false.ö
Francisĺ remarks on the matter, as reported by the CLAR leadership, were published Tuesday in Spanish on the progressive Chilean-based website ôReflection and Liberationö and picked up and translated by the blog Rorate Caeli, which is read in Vatican circles.
In the synthesis, Francis was quoted as being remarkably forthcoming about his administrative shortcomings, saying he was relying on the group of eight cardinals he appointed to lead a reform of the Vatican bureaucracy.
The document quoted him as saying: ôI am very disorganized, I have never been good at this. But the cardinals of the commission will move it forward.ö
In its statement, CLAR said no recording had been made of Francisĺ remarks but that the members of its leadership team Ś a half-dozen men and women Ś together wrote a synthesis of the points he had made for their own personal use.
ôItĺs clear that based on this one cannot attribute with certainty to the Holy Father singular expressions in the text, but just the general sense,ö the statement said.

Where did NYC mayor lunch with Cal Chancellor?
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio was in Berkeley on Thursday. His schedule was no doubt full. Among other things, he and Cal professor Robert Reich joked about the disparity of their respective heights before sitting down to talk about inequality at an event co-organized by the Goldman School of Public Policy.
De Blasio also said a brief hello to Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates in the Green Room at the Freight & Salvage before the conversation with Reich. (Indeed it was a veritable Mayor-Palooza day for Bates who in the morning got on his bike with both Mayor Morten Kabell of Copenhagen and Mayor Albrecht Schröter of Jena, Germany, as part of the many Bike to Work day events in the city.)
De Blasio also found time to grab lunch with UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks, who tweeted about the get-together Friday morning. … Continue reading »

Glenn Beck Says Obama Wants Impeachment Threats Because It Will Help Pass Immigration Reform
On his radio program today, Glenn Beck argued that nobody in the GOP is seriously calling for President Obama's impeachment, but Democrats and the media keep talking about it because doing so will help Obama pass immigration reform.
Saying that there is not one person within the Republican Party that is seriously considering impeaching Obama (despite the fact that he totally deserves it), nor even seriously making the case, Beck said that the issue keeps being brought up nonetheless, linking it to the immigration debate by warning that progressives are winning the fight over immigration reform by framing it in terms of "justice" rather than "freedom. "
Conservatives are going to lose the P.R battle, he warned, because "the president is going to change the subject and he's going to make it about impeachment."
"So who wants it?" Beck asked, rhetorically. "The president does, because then he'll be able to say 'I demand justice.'"
Impeachment, Beck explained, is just like the birther and race issues in that they were also ginned up by Democrats and the media, not conservatives and Republicans, in order to help Obama.
"The birther thing is over, the black thing is over," he said, "so now he needs to be able to call for justice" by using the threat of impeachment to promote his political agenda:

The Past
Argentina belongs to that select group of countries that have qualified for every FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup. Yet from the event's first staging at Rio de Janeiro 2005 to the last edition in Marseille, La Albiceleste have stumbled at the quarter-final stage every time. The team's best finish to date was the fifth place achieved at Rio de Janeiro 2006 and again in Marseille last year.
The Present
For the second year running, the Albiceleste made hard work of securing their place at the finals. A surprise opening defeat to Chile forced Hector Petrasso's side to show what they were made of, and this they duly did by defeating Uruguay, threatening to do the same against Brazil, and then seeing off Ecuador in extra time with a goal from their keeper, Marcelo Salgueiro. In the end it was the team's vast experience and hunger for success that got them through.
The Future
"We had to fight right to the very end to qualify, but we got there. Now we can concentrate on preparations for the World Cup in Dubai, where we want to improve on what we what we did in Marseille," said Ezequiel Lopez Hilaire after the qualifying phase in Uruguay.

Multiple Choice Tests
*A new twist on process of elimination that works better:
Cover the answer choices and come up with your own guess first. THEN look at the answers and pick the one that was closest to your guess.
*Don't forget to check back in the passage - small details that you won't remember can make a BiG difference in choosing the right answer!
Types of Multiple Choice Questions
- Always go back to the passage to find the sentence. Look in the sentences around it to find clues to the right answer.
- Read the sentence given with a blank in place of the word they want you to define - think of your own word!
- Look at the answer choices, which word is closest to the word you were thinking?
- Find the answer back in the passage by scanning for the key word in the question.
- Reread the whole paragraph with those key words.
- If you are still unsure, take your best guess and circle the number in your test booklet. With your extra time at the end, go back to the circled question, then reread the ENTIRE story to see if you can learn more to answer the question correctly.
Main Idea
- Use the title or subtitle as a clue.
- Look at the first few sentences or paragraph of the passage.
- Look for the key word or idea that is mentioned AT LEAST 3 times THROUGHOUT the ENTIRE passage. Think: what are they talking about in the beginning, middle, AND end.
- Even when the question says "What do you think," you have to use clues from the story to find the right answer. There is only ONE right answer.
- Use your own background knowledge to make a logical conclusion.
- REMEMBER: Story clues + Background knowledge = Inference (the answer!)
Listening on the ELA
On the state test there is a listening section in Book 2 for all grades. A story is read to you twice while you can take notes. Then you will have to answer questions based on the story.
Tips for taking notes:
- The first time you take notes leave spaces in between your notes. The second time you listen to the story, fill in any details you missed.
- Keep in my the 5Ws - Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How
- If you know the 5Ws of a story you know the most important details.
- Don't worry about spelling the names of people or places, they will be written in the directions or the questions for you later.
- Try to see what is happening in "3s." Three problems that happen, or three ways they tried to solve a problem. There is usually questions about those details.
- Try to make a picture/movie in your head that is filled with details (it's a rainy day, there is food on the floor). These visuals make the story easier to remember.
Short Answers on the ELA
There is usually a short answer question in the multiple choice section and the listening section. A short answer is really not that short. Follow these tips:
- Restate the question as you begin your answer so you are sure you are answering the question they have asked.
- For details use actual words from the passage! That is the only way to get full credit on these questions. Even if you have to quote a whole sentence it is ok!
- Fill up all the lines and then some! In this case more is better. Even if part of your answer is not quite right, you can still get full credit if you have enough correct details!
- Reread what you have written when you finish. Fix your answer for missing words and unclear sentences.
- Then before you move on to the next question, REREAD THE QUESTION you just answered!!!! This way you will be sure you answered the whole thing.
- Use your short answer checklist:
- Topic sentence
- Transition words
- Details
- Concluding sentence
Essays on the ELA (6th & 8th grade only)
Organizing an essay is easier than you think. Just follow this simple list when planning your essay:
Introduction paragraph - Use words from the question to introduce the reader to what your essay will be about. Only need to make it 2 -3 sentences
Body paragraph 1 - Use the first bullet as your topic sentence. Then use words DIRECTLY from the passage(s) as your details to support the topic.
Body paragraph 2 - Use the second bullet as your topic sentence. Then use words DIRECTLY from the passage(s) as your details to support the topic.
Body paragraph 3 - Use the third bullet as your topic sentence. Unless the third bullet says, "Use details from both passages..." then you don't need a body 3 paragraph!
Concluding paragraph - Use words from the question to and reword part of your introduction to let the reader know what you wrote about. Don't forget to use good concluding transition words and a little voice here!
Above all don't forget to reread the question when you have finished writing your essay, so you are sure you answered ALL parts. Also, reread your essay twice - once to revise the wording and once to fix capitals, periods, commas, etc. Remember you get two grades for the essays so it is worth rereading them many times!

Editing on the ELA (5th and 7th grade only)
Some ELA tests have a separate editing passage. In this passage you will need to find mistakes in capitalization, punctuation, and grammar. Follow these steps:
- Read through the whole passage one time without changing anything. You will get a good idea of what the passage is about and the verb tense they are using.
- On the second reading through, start changing things you think are wrong.
- Some rules you need to know:
- The first word in a sentence needs to be capitalized.
- Names of people, places, and things need to be capitalized.
- Names of books and stories need to be capitalized - except the little words *the, a, and, in,...*
- The word I is always capitalized. - Listen to more about capitalization.
- Sentences end with the correct punctuation, a period, question mark, or exclamation mark. Learn more about punctuation.
- Commas are used to show when you are listing a series of things. "I like pizza, tacos, and pasta." The comma before the and is optional.
- Commas are also used to combine sentences. "She is going to the concert, and I wish I could go too!"
- Commas are used to show an introductory clause. "Whenever I am sick, I never miss a day of school."
- Subjects and verbs need to agree. "The horse runs across the grass." NOT "The horse run across the grass." Learn more about subject verb agreement
- Take out prepositional phrases when you are looking for the subject and verb to agree. Learn the prepositions by watching [[http: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxON8dc5g3U|Pepe and Petunia]]
- Run-on sentences need to be separated into two sentences. Learn more about run-ons
- Fragmented sentences need to be longer. Learn more about fragments
- Apostrophes make a noun possessive. Play this game to review your singular and plural possessives

"Glee" is making a comeback for their next episode. From what? I have no idea, but I think the episode titled, "Comeback" refers to Lea Michele's character making a comeback on McKinley High's social scene. The newly single Rachel enlists the help of everyone's favorite Cheerio, Brittany, to elevate her social status. Meanwhile, Sam starts up a tribute band. From the looks of it, the subject of their tribute will be Justin Bieber. LOL.
Now that you know the two main storylines for Tuesday's upcoming episode, let me share two of the musical numbers that'll be featured. First Rachel and Mercedes take on one of my favorite songs from the musical "Rent". The two will work it out on the upbeat lesbian track, "Take Me or Leave Me". Ironically enough, Idina Menzel who plays Rachel's mother on "Glee" is the actress who provided the vocals in both the movie version and Broadway musical. Circle of life indeed.
The other I have for you today comes courtesy of Artie and Sam. The New Directions' boys will work out their inner boy band personas and take on Justin Bieber's "Somebody To Love". I can't wait to see why the duo decided to take on this bubble gum track. Will it be a serenade to Quinn by Sam or is this part of another of Will Schuester's silly lessons. Check out both covers below.
Which duo do you think did a better job? I'm more biased towards Rachel & Mercedes, since I love that song. But depending on the choreography and the context of the song within the plot, "Somebody To Love" could win me over. Can't wait for Tuesday's episode.

The Queenstown-based owner of Two Paddocks took over the
established 6ha Desert Heart vineyard at the end of Felton
The addition took the total Two Paddocks estate to 19ha in
all three Central Otago wine-producing sub-regions.
''I wanted to commemorate my dear old departed dad and I
couldn't think quite how to do that, then `The Fusilier' came
to mind,'' Neill said.
''It's all about commemoration this year, one way or another,
specifically in matters military.''
Neill's father, Major Dermot Neill, served in the Royal Irish
Fusiliers for nearly 20 years.
Many relatives also served in the infantry regiment of the
British Army, active from 1881 to 1968.
''I grew up in the regimental depot for some years before we
returned to New Zealand, so I remember it with affection,''
Neill said.
''The regimental motto has always appealed to me - 'Faugh a
Ballagh', which means 'clear the way', so that will also be
the motto for the vineyard.''
Asked what Major Neill's reaction would be to having a
vineyard named with him in mind, ''Send me a case'', Neill
''I think he would be rather pleased. He was a lifelong lover
of wine and a friend of Rolfe Mills. He was very excited when
Rolfe started growing wine in Central Otago because he
himself had always seen Central Otago as the place where
people should be really growing wine in New Zealand.''
Wine has been in the family for generations. The Neills
celebrated the 150th anniversary of the arrival in Dunedin of
P.C. Neill and brothers, who started work as merchants,
especially trading in wines and spirits.
''After my father left the army, he took over Neill and
Company, which became Wilson Neill. He retired at the end of
the 1970s, then it became a private company and the rest is
history, so we've been here for quite a while.''

"…should a need or emergency arise."
Just six words. Six words at the end of a press release from Georgia Governor Nathan Deal. But, these six words reveal just how out of touch and mean-spirited our Georgia leadership has become. Today Governor Deal announced a 3 part plan intended to help rural communities facing closing (and closed) hospitals. […]
Squires Calls for Hudgens to Retire
Turns out she wasn't too pleased with Ralph Hudgens' comments that the Insurance Commissioner "can't do squat about healthcare".
Full release below.
Maybe he should STFU
President Barack Obama's speech on healthcare last week obviously stirred up some strong feelings among Republicans, most notably from South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson who shouted, "You lie!" as Obama was making the accurate and truthful statement that undocumented immigrants would not receive healthcare benefits under the proposed plan.
Solution to the illegal alien problem in health care…
One of the chief complaints of the bitter masses about health care is that it will insure illegal aliens with the American taxpayers paying the bill.
Well, illegal aliens, just like most uninsured Americans, go to the ER when they get sick, or want to have an anchor baby. […]

New Measurement Techniques for Portable Listening Devices: Technical Report
Measuring output characteristics of portable listening devices (PLDs), such as MP3 players, is critical to assessing the potential risk of music-induced hearing loss from use of these technologies. However, the current methods of measurement require expensive measurement equipment in the laboratory. This paper reports on two novel measurement techniques using a dosimetry system and a clinical probe-microphone system. These new techniques provide alternative measurement methods that will allow researchers to gather accurate and convenient measures of PLD output levels outside of the laboratory setting.

- The skin around my eyes are still dry
I think this would work well for morning application, but usually just using a normal night cream on my eyes at night works a lot better.

Lovely - good price (esp had a voucher code to get 40% off) and had a nice rich, texture which sinks into the skin well. Lovely & soothing for my eyes which had recently had an allergic reaction to a lash product. Like the pump dispenser too as much more hygienic. Would buy again.

I like that it's light enough to moisturize my eye area and not irritate it or give me milia. The pump is also hygienic, which I like. It doesn't do anything for brightening or dark circles though.

This product pleasantly surprised me! The skin around my eyes is very sensitive and I'm allergic to most eye creams, even the high-end brands. It's a miracle when I find something that doesn't irritate my eye area, provides a decent amount of hydration, and allows my concealer to glide on smoothly- and the Aloe Eye Defence does just that! This has a texture of a serum, and sinks in quickly to moisturise the delicate skin around and under my eyes. It also has a slight cooling effect on the skin. I haven't experienced any flaking at all, and this does a wonderful job at prepping my undereye area for concealer. I'm also a fan of the packaging as you can tell exactly how much is left in the bottle, and the pump dispenses a controllable amount so no product goes to waste. I'm happy with this product and will repurchase :)

Unlike TBS aloe toner, this eye lotion is wonderfully soothing it causes no stinging or irritation and it really calmed down the weird redness and flakeyness around my eye. Ive never used an eye cream before so i cant really compare how good it is to another eye product but it must have some hydrating qualities to reduce the dryness i had. As for dark circles and fine lines, this had no effect however if you are looking to PREVENT wrinkles in the future, a hydrating eye cream will definitely help prolong your skin's elasticity.

This serum is very soothing and does not irritate sensitive eyes. 90% of all eye care products irritate my eyes and make them tear uncontrollably. I can't tell you how many eye creams I've thrown out over the years - Aveda, Arbonne, Lancome, Elizabeth Arden, Biotherm, Kiels ... but I can always count on Body Shop to make products that don't irritate sensitive skin. This is not a cream though. It's a very light weight cooling eye serum that you can use under a day and night cream. For the most part, this serum just does a great of mildly hydrating and relaxing the delicate skin around your eyes without irritating it. Most of Body Shop's aloe line of skin care products do the same thing. The mask, cream, and eye serum soothes, restores, re-balances and relaxes your skin.

I don't get puffiness under my eyes nor dark circles my only problem is wrinkles. I am in my late 20s and have wrinkles whenever I go to sunbed. This eye cream does help with my problem BUT since I started using it another issue occur - dark circles. Some eye creams have that effect so this is a no for me. Bought it to try out because of previous one I had from The Body Shop ELDERFLOWER UNPERFUMED EYE GEL. It was way better and perfect after sunbed because of it's cooling qualities.

I don't extremely love this product but I certainly don't hate it. The Body Shop are amazing for skincare because they use natural products. This cream is hydrating and keeps my eye area soft and primes it for concealer. It DOESN'T do anything for dark circles however, if you want a cream targeted at that then try their Vitamin E eye cream it helps greatly with those and improving the appearance plus it's a bit more hydrating, I tried this out on a whim but will be switching back to the Vitamin E cream after its all used up.

This has become and HG for me as a facial moisturizer. I tried this and the aloe protective serum at the store and decided to buy this since it was light and absorbed quickly. I'm in my 40s but have always had oily skin, so I like to stick to light moisturizers that absorb well. I found myself using this every morning. The downside is that at the regular price, $18 for a very small .5 oz pump, it is really overpriced. There are 1/2 price Groupons that appear periodically and their website often has products 40% off, so make sure to wait for a sale. I do like the pump dispenser a lot and the size makes it very conducive for travel.
I'm looking forward to trying out the other products in the Body Shop aloe line - going to the mall today to check them out. What I really like about their products is that, in addition to being natural and not testing on animals, they will make samples of any of their products so that you can take them home and try them out before buying them. I was also able to return and exchange a lotion that I tried there, too. I like the almond hand and nail cream, as well, a good medium weight lotion.

I've heard numerous times over the past 3-4 years that the Niners have no offensive identity what so ever. We've claimed to be a run first team, but more often than not, we cannot run the ball effectively. We have more success passing the ball than running the ball when we actually open up the playbook. But anyways, thats not the main point of my thread.
What I want to know is this: What kind of identity can we expect with harbaugh's offense? Now, we all know that it is a WCO that he will run, but that is not the same thing as identity. Were his offenses at Stanford run first, then play-action teams? That's what I've mostly heard, but I'm not too sure b/c I've seen like 1.5 Stanford games in my life.
Basically, I'm trying to know how he gameplans. Run first, then playaction, then pass? Or something different?

Just as it is the cable news network's job to keep the fear-mongering ratings up, it is the job of religious leaders to remind us to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us. It is our job to make sure that we keep up our interfaith dialogue. It is also our job to inspire people to forgive.
As I sat in a circle of church planters discussing ministry, a stream of confession emerged: "I've made a lot of mistakes."
There is a prevalent idea in culture that pastors are money-grubbers. I think I have met one of those. Maybe. But, for the most part, we hate asking for money. The majority of church budgets go to salaries, and we feel bad about that, even if we make less than a third of the average person in our congregation. So we can get embarrassed during stewardship time.
I often worship and preach in a sanctuary without windows. Renaissance Presbyterian Church is an African-American congregation in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They built the structure, brick upon brick, so that it might withstand bombs, shooting, or burning. Stained glass gave way to safety, so when I stand in the pulpit, I always remember where I am.
When I was a young seminarian, I was fascinated with Grace Lee Boggs' life and work. Then, I had a chance to go to an urban ministries conference in Chicago where she spoke and I dutifully took notes.
The Internet loves to disdain the celebrity Christian. If anyone sells too many books, builds too big of a platform, or just gets too big for his or her britches, we like to bring that person down a notch or two. Sometimes it's a triumph for social justice.
"Co-creating is a lot of fun," says Jenn DiFrancesco. She and her Slate Project colleagues don't show the same sort of weariness church planters often display a couple years in.
Reflecting on the work of Gene Fowler
When we talk about grief, we often speak of it in terms of letting go, moving on, and getting over it. People want to know when they will be back to normal. But the loss of a loved one is not a bump in the road that we go over and then the pavement is smooth again. Grief fundamentally changes who we are.
I love weddings. I even like the parts pastors aren't supposed to enjoy—the flowers, dresses, hair, and make-up. People have their heads full of Kate Middleton, as they dreamed of being a princess for the day. They ended up pouring a fortune into a ceremony that could easily morph a simple religious ceremony into a frenzied, commercialized ball of stress.
Social dynamics in writing
I was talking about an author I admire and Brian, my husband, asked, "Her writing's great and all, but who's she bringing up?"
I knew what he meant. He wanted to know who was riding her coattails. Who were the people she was encouraging to write and helping along the process? I named a couple of people, and he nodded with satisfaction.
SFTS understands that the church is in the midst of a transformation. Its new center aims to meet new challenges—and to welcome institutional change.
I went on a walk along the bay in Rhode Island. It was the path I took daily, so I was sure footed and looking at the horizon, until I almost stumbled upon an animal corpse. I'm not sure what it was. It was so bloated and distorted—spots of brownish gray fur, the size of a small dog but with much tinier legs. It smelled of warm rot and I became immediately afraid.
On becoming an old woman
"Oh my," he said, dabbing a sponge to my face and looking at my skin as if it were a national disaster. "We have got to find a way to get rid of those fine lines."
A friend was going to seminary, and she became very disappointed that someone in her home church did not send her a birthday card. When I heard this story, I thought that the congregation probably did her a favor, because it's good to know that there are a lot of things that the church cannot do for you once you become a pastor.
A conversation with Mark Charles
A few blocks away from where I live, there's a lovely green space. Renaissance Park is a revived bit of Chattanooga along the Tennessee River. There's a walking tour that you can take, where you call a phone number and hear the history of the place.
Reflections on the fierce and fabulous
I am so pleased to announce the release of There's a Woman in the Pulpit, a collection of stories from the RevGalBlogPals.
Sanctuary of the Arts was started by Jeff Cheifetz and Amy Shoemaker. Their work reminds me that we don't have experiences separate from our bodies.
Oscar Wilde once said that life imitates art far more than art imitates life. I often see great truth in Wilde's musings. For example, from the hard-hitting reporters of YouTube's All Time 10s, we find out television screenwriters imagined many inventions before scientists and techies could design them.
The bifurcation of the agreed-upon version of life has an extra layer of meaning for me. Not only did it help me to understand what is happening as a parent, but it's helping me with my own story-telling, as a daughter.
When Jeff Richards paints a picture of church in downtown Sacramento, the church doesn't tower over the other buildings. It inhabits them.

|Auto executives
|President George W. Bush
|I'm glad it's stalled
|929 total votes
This question is so moronic on so many levels that I don't even want to vote.
The term "stalling" seems to shift the blame away from the industry and by listing the execs as a choice you shift all blame away from labor. How typical.
It's not a bailout. The money had already been apropriated some time ago.
In one year the automakers will be in the same damn position they are in now. What is going to change fundamentally to keep them going beyond this current financial boost? Tell me. A new car model that will bring them back? Laughable and very short sighted.
What in the hell are dubya and congress doing as choices? How can you even fathom they are to blame for any of this? The CEO's of the big 3 should have sold the private jets they flew to D.C. in and raised money that way.
This industry's sense of entitlement makes me ill.
You who still believe this is 1970 are bringing me way down man.
Congress to US auto execs: "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on our part."
Don't forget to add the unions as part of the blame. When Toyota and Honda workers in the U.S. get paid half of what the UAW workers get paid, that is a problem. And then the UAW actually says that they are tired of "givebacks". I hate to say it, but these guys need to lose their jobs and see how marketable their skills really are without a union to extort money from their employer for them. I hope they can find someone to pay them $71 an hour for what they do, but I doubt they will. To paraphrase our President-elect's Pastor, "the big 3 (and the unions) chickens are coming home to roost".
Add Unions to the list and I'd change it over my vote: I'm glad it is stalled.
I feel you on the question itself and trust you weren't surprised to see the like on these pages. That said, the labor contract signed in '07 stipulates that responsibility for retiree healthcare will lie with the UAW rather than with GM beginning in 2010, this will take away some $30 billion in burden. We are talking about a bridge loan to help cover expenses in 2009 that will also by all accounts require the companies to not only pay back the loan but also share in future profits.
It was absolutely the right thing for lawmakers to require these companies to present a viable business plan prior to securing any type of loan from the government as one thing these companies can't be accused of in their current state is efficiency. It will be equally wise to address executive bonuses as I suspect they will. GM in particular must start by cutting/consolidating unnecessary lines of business as they did with Oldsmobile, use to its advantage the labor contract and absolutely bank on the fact that the government will add incentives through tax cuts for purchase of economical domestic vehicles.
Nothing is f**ked here, man.
Our going in to wars were acts of action of stupidity
by Bush & Cheney & now we suffer. I am a republican.
Regardless; what is said & printed, we are all @ fault.
There is no way to have a strong economy with on going
wars, it just does not happen.
Too shift into high gear is sacrifice; continually giving
ice cream benefits is costly
I hope you are right. 30 Billion dollars in savings seems a little far fetched though.
"While GM is only saving $1 billion a year in health care spending under the agreement, the tentative deal will reduce costs on its annual profit-and-loss statement by $3 billion on a pre-tax basis." - Automaker wins pact with union to slash billions in healthcare costs for union members, retirees.
October 17, 2005: 6:58 PM EDT
Granted this article is 3 years old, and I have not done much more reseacrh than that. I just cannot fathom a scenario where GM is not in the same fiscal emergency it is now in 12-18 months, even with the appropriations. The business model is flawed and even without the current healthcare costs, it apperas many believe the big 3 are in trouble for the future. Stock prices refelct what future cash flows are expected from a company. At $2+ per share and the knowledge of this healthcare cost shift, it still does not look good.
This contract doesn't take effect until 2010, the new cars don't hit the market until late 2010, there are still exhorbitant legacy and wage costs that cannot be shouldered. If this money was really all that was needed to secure the industry there would not have been so many walls to go through in order to get it, and the stock prices would not be so low.
Wow...Unions are a killer. They were great for back in the day when there were no OSHA/EEOC/Etc. Now they still take dues have less power and cost companies millions with stalled talks. I have moved to the South and found that Honda/Kia everytime they produce a car they profit $400.00 per car, and still make quality cars at an affordable price. However; everytime one of the big three produces a car it cost them $1000.00 per car, and should I go on about the lack luster quality and affordability!
The difference...The South plant's pay well, but I guarantee Joe Blow the floor sweeper "ain't" makin $25.00hr to sweep floors just because he is in a union. Oh and another thing if they play sick they use a PTO if they have none left then they take it without pay. Incentive...get up and work. Now if you have an ailing child or need more than your typical 3days off..then you use the FMLA. W/ AFLAC...Not paid from the companies...the benefit? The more the company saves the more money in my pocket w/ a FAT bonus check in my pocket! No Union Dues to pay...Northerners that are Union-bred better wake up. Companies are no longer willing to support dead beat employees..! We cannot compete w/ countries that pay employees less and receive more!
GM workers, who were hired in since the last talks are paid 14 an hour, not 25. There is also a cap on how much a person can make on hour. So this worker will not be making 80 thousand a year, they will make half that over years of working there. Yes there are people who do make alot more, but GM did make steps in the right direction with hiring pay, and caps on top hourly wages.
I just find it funny that the CEOs and top management in banks are who screwed them all up, and they did get the bailouts. Why? Cause they benefitted the governmant. But the car industry gets jack crap, cause the governmant gets nothing out of it. It's like a slap in the face and a scr*w you to the people. I think they do need to approve the bailout if proper steps are taken to make the necessary cuts by the 3 automakers!
dmets..although I understand and agreeto some extent. My thoughts are that there are plenty more that are getting over on the Generous Motors way of thinking than, are not. I think that bankruptcy is a good thing for the generous 3. Why? It will allow them to re-organize and get rid of bad debt, old operations habits, unions. They cannot continue to prosper w/ these unions or old habits plane and simple. How many years have the automakers had to re-tool towards energy effecient cars? 30yrs. Instead of re-tooling they would spend X amount of dollars to buy patents from local eng. college kids that had developed ways to make a more energy efficient car. With these patents locked away in the Big 3 basements it would prevent the american consumer from benefiting w/ cleaner and effecient cars. Why do you think that there are not of american cars in Europe/Mexico? They have helped feed the energy dependence on oil as well. Its' time for them to change there ways of thinking..plane and simple.
Wallstreet was just like the Big 3 Money Hungry...the only difference, if there was one... is that Wallstreet controls the loans for homes, cars, credit. The Big 3- really have nothing to offer or bring to the table?? Considering the fact that they have sent the majority of jobs offshore/Mexico they reallty screwed themselves. With no meat to bring to dinner the government sees no reason to give them any bread!
Note that most (if not all) of the $25 billion 'loan' to the Big 3 will go to the UAW! Not for day-to-day operations, but to the retirees of the UAW! Here's a link to the article:
I for one am sick and tired of people thinking that they should have pensions and fully-paid benefits for the rest of their lives. If you owned a business and I worked for you for 30 years - you paid me right?? Then why do you still have to pay me until I live to be 90?? In reality, you could collect more in retirement then when you worked!
dawg-They think they should have pensions and paid healthcare coverage because THAT WAS THE AGREEMENT. Like most people you fault the fortunate simply because you aren't one of them.
Doc-30 was the number I read. It is absolutely a big number but there are A LOT of people of advancing age included and healthcare costs continue to rise. You make a good point on stock price.
Lebowski-so you think it's okay for us as taxpayers to bail out basically the UAW? Look - I fault both the Big 3 and the UAW for this mess. But the UAW and it's workers need to realize that not one company out there can sustain what the Big 3 have to sustain with this agreement.
Did anyone bail out the steel mills when they were going down?? Is anyone bailing out Cicuit City? Steve and Barry's? The list goes on and on.
And actually I am one of the fortunate (just not in the UAW). I have a career that I am happy to be in and I get paid well doing it because I'm good at it.
We are not bailing out anyone. The government is just using our money to bail people out. We have no choice in the matter!
Just commenting your words dawg: "I for one am sick and tired of people thinking that they should have pensions and fully-paid benefits for the rest of their lives." Your words. You seemed in saying that to be much more centered on the labor force than the labor union. When challenged you decide to elaborate and I can better appreciate your point-of-view.
Comparing GM, Ford or Chrysler to Circuit City is ridiculous -- there are hundreds of thousands of retailers and 3 domestic automakers. There were also many more steel manufacturers. Also we are talking about a bridge loan with opportunity for profit sharing at the back end, not a bailout...the media likes "bailout" because it boosts ratings through misinformation. If self-preservation is an instinct that you posses (ESPECIALLY in Y-town) you should support this loan because this country will grind to a halt if these companies have to shutter.
I'm finishing my coffee.
well this is what you get with those so called free traders, nobody has yet said why are we in this mess in the first place, JOBS stupid, we can not keep letting companys ship jobs out of our country to china or were ever. These idiots in our government (republicans and democrats) have caused this disaster, screwing every american worker, don't think for one minute that if 3 million people lose their jobs form the big 3, how many of use will lose our jobs that are related to that industry from the cook at the local restaurant to the truck driver delivering the steel to the plant.
It's not a bailout anyway, it's a loan with a repayment schedule. that should have stipulations with it like, ceo pay no more than 5 times higher than the lowest payed employee, not stock options, no other bs. and that the big three have to make the cars here in the us that they sell here.
Remember this if it wasn't for the unions in this country fighting for what the got, i.e. 40hr workweek, healthcare, safety in the work place. you would be working in the old fashion sweatshops of the past, making little to nothing.
Just commenting your words dawg: "I for one am sick and tired of people thinking that they should have pensions and fully-paid benefits for the rest of their lives." Sounds like you are grouping all people who ever worked into there. You see my dad risked his life for 30 years, and I do believe that he deserves pension and benefits the rest of he life. He does pay alot for his benefits. Do you think that military people, firefighters, police officer should not get life long pensions and benefits? Do you think a person, including you, should have to work til they die? No! Believe me I think the GM retirees need to pay alot more then 10 dollars a month for insurance, but I you think in you put in the time, there should be perks to a life of service. These people put into a 401K. I mean if you want them to not have the benefits and pension, do you realize you, us, the tax payers will have to afford everything for them? I mean come on! Get serious, and realize they will end up on welfare, social security, and any type of public assistance.
Just a little perspective.
A new hire at Lordstown makes $14.00 per hour.
G.R. Wagoner Jr. made $15,000,000 in 2007.
That's 535 times what your "greedy neighbor" made.
Forgive me for sounding socialist, but do we need so much capitolism that someone at the top of a company makes "535 times" what the guy just starting does? All three of those fat cats from gm, ford and chrysler, should have to give up the jets, and give up a years salary to help "stimulate" their busnesses. Let them see what supporting a family on even $14. an hour for a year feels like.
I think I if I hear on the news or read in the paper correctly. Robert Nardelli, the current CEO of Chrysler, agreed to take that one dollar salary, if it can guarantee a bridge loan of approximately $7 billion for his company. At least he is doing something to try to get the money.
Does The guy just starting out at $14/hr have the same responsibilities as the journeyman?, how about the foreman?, general foreman? The hourly worker goes home after his 8 hr shift and relaxes with his family. How much free time do you think the CEO has? How many millions of people is he responsible for? Spoken as a true Socialist! If the shareholders didn't apporve of his pay, he would be out, or at the very least his contract would be ammended! You people have got to get out of the "it's not fair-he makes more than me" routine. How much do you think Honda and Toyota CEOs make? For that matter, take any Fortune 500 company.
He probably deserves every dime, and if he chooses to spend it on a jet then so be it!
That being said I do not agree with the government bailing them out either. They should restructure under Chapter 11 protection and do as so many other companies have-emerge stronger. The bank bailout has turn into a varitible pig roast for all the pork that was involved. AIG should have never been bailed out when another branch of that company holds over a trillion in assets. Next the pizza place down the street will want a government bailout. Where will it end?
BK Dawg...I agree w/ you 1000% why should taxpayer monies pay for UAW benefits while there CEO's sit on high and fly there corporate jets and collect that ridiculous salary. I think not! I don't think that Lebowski get's it, and I am glad that you have a good career in Y-Town. One other thing I noticed was that you spoke common sense. Why should companies have to pay for our retirements? I am saving for my own through 401 and IRA's / Money market accounts. My company matches 4% and even if they didn't which most companies are starting not to do that no a days I would still save.
The comment made about, "If self-preservation is an instinct that you posses (ESPECIALLY in Y-town) you should support this loan because this country will grind to a halt if these companies have to shutter." I think that that comment needs to be more directed at the CEO's of the big three and the UAW president who went to DC cocky as all get out. They definately had "Self Preservation" in mind. I will stick to my guns let them file bankruptcy and re-organize/re-structure, and then come back. As far as the UAW President if his attitude is a representative of how his union members think then let the them lose...in today's times I have no tolerance for arrogance.
You defend the right of a CEO to make $15,000,000 a year and fly around in corporate jets because its capitalism and that's his right. But when the common worker doesn't want to give back any more of their $14.00 an hour or their health and retirement benefits that GM agreed to they are greedy socialist.
In 2007 the CEO of GM made $5,000,000 more than in 2006. It must be because of what the great job he is doing.
I've never seen so many mean spirited people in my life than the one's that post in my home town paper. It seems as though that because some of you live miserable lives you want others to do the same.
Happy in California.
To lower that wage package by $30 an hour the members would have to give up pensions and health care for retires. Those are conditions that the union and the auto companies agreed to. Toyota hasn't been in the US long enough to have 700,000 retires to deal with yet.
Like I said the union and the auto makers had an agreement. Some seem to think its OK to agree to pensions and health care and when the time comes the company says, "No that's ours". Let me ask you a question. If you bought a home and signed a contract with the lender, made all your payments on time and fulfilled all of your obligations to the contract, would it be OK that when you make your final payment and the house is yours the lender says, "No the house is mine because banks are in financial trouble"? I assume you've paid into social security all your life. Would you mind not getting it because the government spent it elsewhere?
UAW needs to make concessions and all workers need to mirror the pay of Honda USA workers. That will be the step in the right direction.
I notice that you didn't mention that US auto executives should be compensated and build the same types of cars as Honda.
The president of Honda Motors is Takeo Fukui. He shares a salary of 13 million with 36 board members.
I'm glad you pointed that out. That would also be another great step forward for the US auto industry. Have the execs share a set amount. Use USA Honda as a business model. USA's model hasnt worked in years!
There are some situations that have no good guys, and no good answers either. This is one.
I will shed no tears for the demise of the Big 3, or of the UAW either. The arrogance and entrenched stupidity of the management of GM and Ford is matched in kind by the thuggery, insolence, sloth, corruption, and avarice of the UAW, its members, officers, and hangers-on. A pox on the lot of them. Are the 'big dogs' of the companies overpaid? Most assuredly! So are most of the UAW 'workers' and their officers of that bunch of bandits even more so. Worse, perhaps, than the pay rates at least 3 times what the jobs are worth, are the idiotic work rules that the UAW, like its co-thieves in other unions, have long insisted on. To tax store clerks and beauticians in Fowler, Poland, and Columbiana in order to shore up the 'job bank' and the UAW thieves is so despicable as to be out of sight.
And yet,
For the dolts in the Congress to be involved is loathsome as well. They are largely to blame for all of this. Unconstitutional intrusion in aspects of most of American business and industry, including Davis-Bacon, the minimum wage, car design, etc. etc. etc. have created much of this. The collapse in the financial system stems directly from the CRA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and corruption of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, fomented largely by Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Bill Rubin, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, and Jaimie Gorelick. For them to claim some sort of moral high ground in the rescue is something so astonishingly false as to be believable only in loony bins, or the Valley.
Let them all collapse together. A pox on them and their house.
Sigh. to doggy, going to MSNBC for reality, and Olbermann for *anything* requiring honesty, intelligence, or wisdom is a lot like going to an active landfill looking for breakfast. I believe in miracles, but that would be one. Talk about cherry-picking your favorite merchant of comforting lies!
I have not yet heard anyone say that the actual take-home wage for a UAW type is $70/hr (the actual number is closer to $73, actually), but the fact is that the actual per-hour COST of a UAW member in direct labor is about that. Which is, probably, about right. Sounds low, actually, as it does not take into account the imbecilic work rules that generally result in needing 3 people to do the work of 1. Having been there, I know whereof I speak. What you take home is only a fraction, often a small one, of what you cost the company. What does the company get in return?
Is anyone, anywhere, so utterly filled with intoxicants as to really believe that there are a host of line workers who are regularly returning $73/hour worth of value to the organization? Anyone? Because I have never, never seen it. I have seen some that did well, even at Packard and Lordstown, but the sluggards around them did their utmost to keep the average down.
Our bankrupt Federal government will bailout this mismanaged industry just as it has bailed out mortgage lenders. Then it will bail out multiple states now running huge deficits, and then other industries such as those in health care. It will due all this while spending money on expensive entitlements and pork, for the sole purpose of buying votes and maintaining power.
The question then will soon become, "Is our mismanaged and bankrupt government worth bailing out?" To those able to save our dying Nation, the answer will be "no" as it is broken beyond repair.
