Testimonies: Throat
"Team went to the hospital to pray for a man with throat cancer, after prayer he said, my fever is gone, he said I've had a fever for the past 2 months, the pain level went down to one. A couple of weeks later we received word that he was cancer free."

"I came to the Healing Room about a month ago, I am getting better physically and spiritually. I always thought of myself as weak, but with their prayers I am beginning to feel victorious in Jesus. I am believing to be a blessing to someone else instead of always needing prayer. My throat had a mass in it and now I believe that it is shrinking. I am able to walk more and I'm getting stronger physically. The Holy Spirit ministered to me through them about things no one else knew except the Holy Spirit and me. I am very grateful for the Healing Room and their dedication to the Anointed Jesus. I am telling my friends and family so everyone I know can get better."

"Michael had not been feeling well since October of 2007. Several doctor appointments followed, as well as some chiropractor appointments for a sore neck. He had several medical tests which all came back normal. His symptoms were attributed to being run down, staying up late and not eating well, or possibly a low grade infection. Things, however, continued to get worse even with life style improvements and visits to the chiropractor for a sore neck. Antibiotics were next prescribed and even following that regiment his symptoms persisted. He was then sent to a surgeon for further evaluation. On January 23, 2008, a little over a month after Michaels 20th birthday, our nightmare began when we received a call from the surgeons office with the outcome of a CT scan. The results showed a large mass in Michaels head. An aspiration of the mass proved inconclusive so a biopsy was necessary. The diagnosis was Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, a cancer that is rare in the United States. A PET scan (a scan that shows all cancer present in the body) showed no evidence of the cancer having spread from the head and neck area, therefore was potentially curable. This was a big relief at the time because If the cancer had spread beyond the head and neck area it would not be curable, but treatment could only buy us some time in the hope that a cure could be found. His treatment however was, as the doctors put it, the hardest of any cancer treatment given. The actual chemo was a harsh one and would be given simultaneously with 35 radiation treatments to the throat and neck area. A mask was made to fit his face and he was snapped into place on the radiation table. He was very brave and took these treatments with a great deal of courage and did not complain. He tried to enjoy the moments he could on the days he felt okay. When the long weeks of treatment were finally over, the cumulative effects made for a very miserable couple of weeks. His neck, tongue and throat were burned. He was barely able to swallow and almost all of his nutrition came from a feeding tube. He also was fatigued from the chemo and dealing with waves of nausea. After a month of rest he was beginning to feel better and the adjuvant treatment began, which was some follow up just in case chemo to get any left behind living cells of cancer. He had one round of this chemo combination, which was suppose to be easier but something was not right. He was having some intestinal pains and his energy level was sinking again, more than predicted. He was still not eating much, even when his throat was better and the chemo effects should have been wearing off. So the next round of chemo was delayed, and then delayed again. A CT scan was ordered and soon we found out that there was a tumor growing in Michaels hip bone, and had actually fractured the bone. A bone marrow biopsy showed it was cancerous and a PET scan showed there were actually 2 tumors in his left hip. His pain level was increasing and he was back on heavy duty pain medicine and steroids for bone pain. The pain was increasing quite quickly. His cancer was now staged from a 4A to a 4C and was now in his bone marrow. Our options were not many or even sure possibilities. He was given 3 more different chemos at one time and life was miserable. The pain medicine was not doing the job and more radiation was possibly coming up. A friend of Michaels told us about a local healing room where people can go and get prayed for; a place where she had gone and experienced positive results. Michael and I went for prayer which he received, and then we were told about a healing revival going on in Florida. Two of the people working at the healing room encouraged us to go, if possible, after seeing the condition and pain level that Michael was experiencing. Michael felt spiritually uplifted and got a definite touch from God when he was prayed for at the healing room. We also took their advice, packed up and on June 13, 2008 boarded a plane for Florida. The first part of the trip was horrible, as even the wheel chair ride to the plane and between gates was painful for Michael. I asked him in Denver if he wanted to rest in a motel and continue on later, rather than board again so soon. He wanted keep going because he did not think he would feel any better in a motel. Michael and I were seated apart on this next flight because a flight attendant put Michael near the front so he could get to the bathroom and exit the plane easier. A good way into the flight, I noticed a man and a woman (his wife) leaning over Michael, obviously praying for him. I ran up there and this man had tears running out of his eyes as he was praying for Michael's cancer to leave, and the pain to leave. He was asking God to burn the cancer out, was pleading the blood of Jesus over him, and began speaking life over Michael. Michael was basically healed at that moment. He immediately felt better. When we got to our hotel Michael began walking around. He had a very slight limp and his pain was mostly gone. The man on the plane and a friend of his talked to me for a while afterward and told me that Michael would sleep well that night (he had not been able to sleep much because of the pain). Michael had been waking up every few hours to take more pain medicine. He slept so well during the night that I had to wake him up at 11:30 am to check out of the motel at 12:00. He had slept all night without once waking up. I asked him how he was feeling and he said fine (A response I had not heard in a long time). The evening that we arrived, Michael went down to the restaurant in the motel to order food for us and brought it up to our room. (He had not been eating much at all - getting his nutrition from a feeding tube - we have not used the feeding tube since before we left for Florida, and today it was taken out). We had a wonderful time at the revival and Michael was prayed for by the ministry team and felt heat coming onto him. He went through the fire tunnel, and a lady we met while standing in line brought some people in the ministry team over to pray for Michael. It was such a wonderful experience and Michael continues to do GREAT! He has been pedal boating, playing basketball, a little jet skiing, doing landscape work and hanging out with friends. We had a gathering at our house less than a week after we returned home from Florida because we had friends in from out of town and it was our daughter, Marys birthday. Mary had a group of her girlfriends at the party who had been on a jump rope team with her while they were growing up. Some of the guests wanted the girls to perform so they did a short performance. At one point 2 of the girls were turning double dutch (a fast turn with 2 ropes going) and Michael said "I'm coming in." He jumped into the ropes and continued jumping in the ropes for longer than I knew he was able to, even before cancer and a broken hip!! It was great. Everyone is so amazed when I tell the story. We are blessed and everyday my husband and I are so happy just basking in the wonder of it all!!! We are continuing on with his medical treatment but are anxious to get all the scans from the doctors, to show on paper what we already know and see that Michael is totally 100% healed by the power of Jesus, the great physician and healer. Lisa Bate July 21,2008 Addendum: On August 6,2008 Michael finally was given another PET/CT scan. The Pet Scan shows metabolic activity that helps to detect and measure cancer, and is given along with the CT which further helps to define what is going on in the body. We received the results on August 12. His previous PET/CT scan done on June 10,2008 showed 2 tumors in his left hip area. These showed an SUV (Standard Uptake Value) measurement of 17.3 and 16.3 with 1-3 being within the normal range. On August 6 the measurements were both 1.4, well within the normal range. Also at the end of the PET/CT report it stated no PET CT evidence of active residual disease. The doctor concluded the reading of this report with these wordsMichael is in complete remission. "
- Lisa B. on June 13th, 2008
"On June 5 I came in for prayer for throat cancer. They prayed for me and I coughed up the tumors here at the Healing Rooms. On the 7th of June I went in for surgery. The doctor could not find one single cancer tumor."
- Ella Mae D. on July 13th, 2002
"I was diagnosed with a tumor on the back of my tongue which made it impossible for me to swallow food. God gave me specific things I was to do. One of them being to come to the Healing Rooms for prayer. Three months went by and the very day before I was to return to the doctor God healed me. The tumor disappeared. The doctor was amazed--unable to speak for a few minutes and unable to explain what happened. God was my healer!"

The framers of our constitution were idealists for their time
It is always interesting to me when people wrap themselves in the flag and say all of their political beliefs are based on the Constitution of the United States.
That is supposed to make me think you are a patriot. What it would really mean is that you were a racist and sexist who thinks state legislatures should elect U.S. Senators.
The constitution is an amazing document, but not too many modern Americans would enjoy living under it without the 27 Amendments and numerous Supreme Court rulings to modify and clarify it.
The original text of the Constitution allowed for slave ownership and didn't allow women to vote. It even counted non-free people as three-fifths of a person in the enumeration of a state's population.
Even the rights that we cling to so closely we included in the first 10 amendments rather than the original document.
Many of us decry the motivations behind legislative action today. Laws are passed to protect lobbyists' interests who help fund campaigns. Politicians take positions just to repay favors or curry favor with racial or gender based voting blocks.
Nothing is genuine.
That's not new, by the way.
Do you really think Abraham Lincoln didn't understand that emancipating slaves would destroy the economy of the south by taking away their free labor supply.
The Emancipation Proclamation was an important step in ending slavery but it was more important in winning the Civil War. For one thing, it only freed slaves in areas that were in active rebellion against the Union. Slaves in border states or other areas not in suppot of the South were not freed by the document.
The 13th Amendment in 1865 gave true freedom to black people in the United States. But even with freedom they couldn't vote until 1870 – and even then it was only the men who were allowed to vote.
Women of any race weren't given that right by the federal government until the 19th Amendment in 1920.
But during this week in 1869, Wyoming gave women the right to vote – just as black men were being allowed to vote thanks to the 15th Amendment.
But these Wyoming lawmakers weren't freedom fighters who saw women as equals. They were lonely frontiersmen who saw women as a good way to stop being lonely on cold Wyoming nights.
In 1869 when they were voting to allow women the right to vote, there were 6,000 men and only 1,000 women in the territory. That poses a significant problem for about 5,000 men.
By allowing women the right to vote, they were hoping to get some free publicity and encourage more women to move to the territory on the verge of statehood.
In the 50 years between Wyoming's first salvo of granting women's suffrage to the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, several states joined Wyoming in allowing women to vote. Utah gave women that right and then took it back. Colorado was the first established state to allow women to vote in 1893. Idaho followed in 1896.
It took about 25 years for women in the rest of the United States to gain the same rights.
When we take American democracy to other countries, I hope we remember that we didn't land on Plymouth Rock in the same shape we are today.
Unfortunately for minorities, democracy is a process. It is a process we haven't completed.
The framers of our constitution were idealists for their time. But times change and so do the ideals we strive for.
The key is to keep striving.

Worst Things Women Do in Bed
Nerve-wrecking Experiences
A lot of men must definitely have some nightmares-come-true to share with their mates when it comes to conversing about their sex lives. They may spend hours thinking about what women do or not do or why they are the way they are. If you fall into the league, you are not alone. If it provides any solace, read some of the worst things women have said/done in bed to many chums like you. You might feel better. Image Courtesy: Getty ImagesLoading...
Just Lay Dead
The foreplay goes on for some time and as you pin her down after a passionate kiss, you realise she has frozen into a corpse. She might like to take role play too seriously, but the only role she plays is that of a log of wood. Creepy, isn't it? Image Courtesy: Getty Images
Unfortunately many women do that hurtful thing. And it's not just your lips that they bite. We can hear you say ouch. You might just want to tell them to keep their teeth off certain sensitive areas because it's kind of hard-hitting for the strongest men to take. Image Courtesy: Getty Images
Saying No Mid-Way
Too bad she chickened out in bed. You keep wondering why this women undressed and let you in bed in the first place if all she had to do was play with your hair. Image Courtesy: Getty Images
Laughing at Your Phallus
Yes, that's the worst that can happen to any guy. The person who shared this story is still recovering. Imagine you are about to have your first intercourse and your girlfriend squealed out a laugh as soon as you let your buddy out. Too much information! Image Courtesy: Getty Images
Fake an Orgasm
How can a man improve his sexual performance if his woman keeps faking orgasm? As long as he thinks she's satisfied, he'll keep doing the same thing, and she'll keep faking. Eventually it will become a vicious cycle. Image Courtesy: Getty Images
Vaginally Unhygienic
Some women spend so much time putting on makeup and fixing their hair that they forget to give their "girlfriend" a check-up too. Then they wonder why oral sex follows their bath cycle. Image Courtesy: Getty Images
Talking is good but if she brings up "how her best friend has been acting strange" conversations, then God save you. If your woman begins to talk about such things, ask her to go back to playing dead. Image Courtesy: Getty Images
Is It In?
Humiliating it is when your woman asks you "is it in?" This definitely beats 'need to talk' on the list of three words men dread to hear from their girls. Image Courtesy: Getty Images
Position Non-Savvy
Did your girl literally position herself in a number shape when you said position 69? Or did she bark along when you suggested doggy-style? Tch- tch! Get her a sex manual or a drawing toy. Image Courtesy: Getty Images
Brush Your Teeth
Asking a man to go brush his teeth after he has finished performing his cunnilingus duties is unsexy and can really ruin the mood. Following the same logic, she must also hop to the washroom right away after performing her fellatio duties. Image Courtesy: Getty Images

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — 12:15 p.m.
Lawmakers in Congress are calling for a hearing and investigation into sexual harassment at the U.S. Forest Service following the departure of its chief amid sexual misconduct allegations.
U.S. Sen. Steve Daines of Montana said Thursday he is calling for a congressional hearing, saying that he wants to ensure "bad actors are held accountable."
Daines says Forest Service Chief Tony Tooke made the right decision to retire, days after it was revealed by PBS NewsHour that Tooke allegedly had relationships with former subordinates and was under investigation. The move followed reports in recent years of rampant harassment within the agency.
Rep. Jackie Speier of California, a Democrat and leading voice in Congress against sex harassment, called for a broad investigation of the Forest Service's "toxic culture" by the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
10 a.m.
U.S. Forest Service chief Tony Tooke has stepped down just days after revelations that he was under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct and amid reports of rampant misbehavior including rape within the agency's ranks.
A Forest Service spokesman on Thursday confirmed Tooke's sudden retirement less than seven months after he was named to the post by Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue.
His departure was first reported by the Missoulian. It comes less than a week after PBS NewsHour reported Tooke was under investigation following relationships with subordinates before he became chief.
In a Wednesday night email to Forest Service employees, Tooke said he had cooperated with the investigation. He did not directly deny the allegations against him but said he "cannot combat every inaccuracy that is reported."
"In some of these news reports you may have seen references to my own behavior in the past," Tooke wrote. "This naturally raised questions about my record and prompted an investigation, which I requested and fully support and with which I have cooperated."
Forest Service spokesman Byron James declined to say if the investigation into Tooke would continue and a replacement was not immediately announced.
PBS and other outlets, including The Associated Press, have previously reported a culture of harassment and retaliation at the Forest Service dating back years. Many of the problems mirror misconduct within the nation's other major public lands agency, the Interior Department.
Congress held hearings on the problems at both agencies in 2016 and senior officials have repeatedly vowed to address the problem.
The Forest Service has about 35,000 employees and manages more than 300,000 square miles (777,000 square kilometers) of forests and grasslands in 43 states and Puerto Rico.
Tooke, a native of Alabama who joined the Forest Service at the age of 18, had worked in Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. Prior to becoming chief he served as regional forester for the southern U.S.
In announcing his appointment in August, Perdue cited Tooke's knowledge of forestry and his dedication to the "noble cause" of being a steward of public forests.
"Tony has been preparing for this role his whole life," Perdue said at the time. "His transition into leadership will be seamless."

Cards tack on runs to back Wainwright vs. Cubs
ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright enjoyed a luxury he had not yet seen in 2014 as he faced the Cubs at Busch Stadium on Saturday -- run support.

ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright enjoyed a luxury he had not yet seen in 2014 as he faced the Cubs at Busch Stadium on Saturday -- run support.
The Cardinals bats scored early and often, knocking out Cubs starter Carlos Villanueva after three-plus innings, evening the series with a 10-4 rout before an announced crowd of 45,302.View Full Game Coverage
The Cardinals had scored one run in each of Wainwright's two previous starts this season. Wainwright, who improved to 2-1, won a 1-0 decision at Cincinnati on Opening Day, but was on the short end of a 2-1 loss in Pittsburgh.
"The offense did a great job today scoring some runs," Wainwright said. "It's no surprise to me, we're going to hit fine. We've faced some tough pitching and we've had some things that we usually do really well that we haven't done well, and that's just baseball. There's going to be plenty of times where our hitters pick up our pitchers this year."
The Cardinals' runs came in bunches. They batted around in the second, when Matt Adams started the rally with his first home run of the season. The Cardinals next six hitters had five hits, all singles. Daniel Descalso, Wainwright and Matt Carpenter picked up RBI hits during that span as the Cardinals took a 4-1 lead.
The Cardinals blew the game open in the fourth, sending 10 batters to the plate in a five-run outburst. Carpenter and Matt Holliday each had RBI singles and Jon Jay picked up a pair of RBIs with a two-out hit to make it 9-2.
"It's nice to get some runs, especially for Adam [Wainwright] and let him do his thing," manager Mike Matheny said. "We took some good at-bats right from the top. Guys were not letting many pitches in the middle of the plate go by without a good pass on it."
Nine runs were charged to Villanueva, who departed after retiring just nine of the 21 batters he faced.
"The two innings were tough," Villanueva said. "I got two swinging bunts, and a couple forceouts that went the other way. Things unraveled quick. I didn't feel bad, I felt I had the stuff. They're a good team and they took advantage of our mistakes and they got me out of there quick."
The run support for Wainwright was timely as the right-hander didn't have his usual command.
Junior Lake led off the game by hitting Wainwright's first pitch over the left-field wall to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead.
"He's an aggressive hitter, I should have known he was swinging there," Wainwright said. "That's OK to throw a fastball when you know they are swinging, you just have to locate your heaters. Its one of those times today where I left it over the plate."
The Cubs picked up another run in the fourth and two more in the sixth on RBI doubles by Nate Schierholtz and Ryan Sweeney.
Wainwright went seven innings, allowed four runs on seven hits and struck out eight. More importantly, Wainwright went deep into the game saving a taxed bullpen. Randy Choate and Seth Maness picked up the final six outs in relief.
"Today instead of being just off the plate, I was just on the plate and usually I'm going to be a little more on the corners," Wainwright said. "But you know what? We win the game and beat a tough Cubs team and we'll be ready tomorrow."
The Cardinals tacked on their final run in the sixth when a Yadier Molina groundout scored Holliday.
Central to the Cardinals offensive breakout were contributions from unexpected sources. Descalso started at short for the first time this season and had a pair of hits, an RBI and scored twice. Jay, starting in center for Peter Bourjos, had an RBI single and several strong defensive plays.
"It was nice to come out and score 10 runs no matter who is in the lineup," Descalso said. "When you get an opportunity you have to go out there and take advantage of it. I was happy to be able to have a couple good at-bats and help out today."
"We're trying to keep them all sharp and it's hard to do it when you see a guy like Kolten [Wong] go on a good run and you see a guy like Jhonny [Peralta] just try to get going," Matheny said. "Hopefully a day's rest for Jhonny today will help with that, but Danny [Descalso] stepped in and did a great job once again without a lot of repetition."
The Cardinals had a run taken away with a replay challenge in the third. First-base umpire Jerry Layne originally ruled Jay safe at first as Jay tried to beat out a Starlin Castro throw after a diving stop up the middle. Had the call stood, Molina would have scored. But Cubs manager Rick Renteria challenged and the call was overturned, ending the inning.
Chris Rusin, who was called up from Triple-A Iowa before the game, saved the Cubs bullpen with five innings of relief after Villanueva's early exit. Rusin gave up one run on three hits, struck out one and walked one. He was promptly sent back down to Iowa after the game.
Matheny hopes the Cardinals' offense is just getting started.
"For the most part, it's a timing issue, that's all it is," Matheny said. "This hitting thing is a hard deal and they look like they're getting closer. Obviously, today is a great representation. I think that's the kind of team we have. We can throw up huge offensive production pretty much anytime. It's just a matter of when they start clicking and then it's just a matter of trying to keep it up as long as we can."

Inmate Mother of 3 takes advantage of education classes while incarcerated.
Century Regional Detention Facility
Inmate Mother Takes Advantage of Education Classes while Incarcerated and Improves her Reading Level, Earns Life Skills Certificate and 2 parenting Certificates.
On Tuesday, June 4, 2013, 43-year-old Inmate HopeAnn Wallace is scheduled to be released from custody after serving eight months at Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF) on drug possession charges. Shortly after her incarceration at the Century Regional Detention Facility, she became aware of the Sheriff's Department's Education Based Incarceration (EBI) Program and enrolled as a student in the EBI Maximizing Education Reaching Individual Transformation (M.E.R.I.T) Program. The MERIT program is a 12-week course, which includes topics, such as life skills, anger management, drug education, occupation preparation, resume writing and spiritual growth. Inmate Wallace has earned a life skill class certificate and two parenting certificates during her incarceration. Inmate Wallace is a mother of three boys, ages 23, 21, 11 and one granddaughter.
Inmate Wallace shared with CRDF personnel that during her formal education years she suffered in academics, due to gangs and no parental support. As a result, she never met her full potential. During her unfortunate circumstances and subsequent arrest, she became aware of the educational opportunities afforded to CRDF inmates. She decided to take advantage of the opportunity and enrolled in the General Education Development (GED) program and the life skills programs. She has improved from a fourth grade reading and writing level to a ninth grade level. Prior to her arrest, her husband assisted her with reading and writing. She added that during her incarceration, she utilized her improved reading and writing skills to author letters home to her husband, which he believed were written by other inmates on her behalf. She recently advised her husband that it was she who had authored the letters to him.
Inmate Wallace has commented that she is grateful for the life changing opportunities made available to her and other inmates. She plans to continue with her education and life skills that will make her a better person and productive member of society. She hopes that her story will inspire other mothers and women less fortunate than her. "Inmate HopeAnn Wallace's success at self-improvement is a microcosm of the many benefits of Education Based Incarceration. Women offenders follow a different pathway to jail than do their male counterparts," said Captain Joe Nuez "Gender-Responsive approaches to women offenders takes into consideration the fact that incarcerated women suffer from substance use disorders at an alarmingly high rate, as well serious mental illnesses and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders. Developing and delivering services and treatment for women offenders must be acknowledged and incorporated into available programs."
Inmate HopeAnne Wallace will be available for media interviews this afternoon from 3:00-6:00 p.m. at Century Regional Detention Facility located at 11705 S. Alameda Street, Lynwood CA 90262. Please contact Public Information Officer Nicole Nishida at (323) 810-1973 to schedule the interview.********
The Education Based Incarceration Bureau is responsible for managing the 67 inmate educational and vocational programs within the seven Los Angeles County jails. There are approximately 18,000 inmates in the County jail system. Within that population, there are currently more than 7,000 inmates participating in the diverse programs.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 18, 2009) - Despite outshooting Stetson 20-12 in the match, the ETSU men's soccer team dropped a 1-0 game to the Hatters on Sunday afternoon at Summers-Taylor Stadium.
"Stetson is a very good team and arguably the best team in the conference," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "I thought that we showed that we are equal to them in most facets of the game. We have learned how to compete with some of the best teams in the Atlantic Sun and nationally. Now we have to learn how to win on a consistent basis, and not just compete. That will come down to us being able to finish our chances and make the best use of the final ball, which in this game was a little off."
The Bucs (2-7-3, 1-3-1 A-Sun) held possession for much of the match taking ten shots in each half and had a 5-1 advantage in corners. Senior Scott Rosman (Kenner, La.) had two saves for the Buccaneers.
ETSU had an early chance in the 4th minute as Sean Hoek (Newburgh, Ind.) had a shot off of a free kick saved by Logan Potter.
The Hatters applied late pressure in the first half as Rosman made a couple big saves to keep the game scoreless going into the break.
Freshman Alesi Osorio (Austin, Texas) had the best look on the day for the Bucs in the 48th minute as he blasted a shot from just inside the 18 yard box that was knocked away by a Hatter defender standing in front of the net.
In the 49th minute, Stetson got on the board as Kevin Munz found Fredrick Brustad open on the counter attack, as Brustad slipped a shot just past an outstretched Rosman to take a 1-0 lead.
The Bucs increased their pressure in the last ten minutes of the match, but Potter was up to the challenge making three saves down the stretch to make the final 1-0 Stetson.
"We will continue to work had this week to improve our final pass and finishing till we become consistent and more predatory around the goal," Calabrese said. "That is the only way we can turn our good performances into wins. Good performances are nice, but we need to win these games that we are dominating."
ETSU is back in action next Friday at 7:30 p.m. as the Bucs take on North Florida. For more information on the ETSU men's soccer team please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

As Italian elections approach and the gap between the right and left-wing candidates closes, analysts fear that the tight political race could result in a hung parliament, an outcome that could easily derail Italy's already-fragile economy.
"The Italian elections remain a significant risk event...we cannot exclude surprises in the last week of the campaign," research analysts at Credit Suisse said in a research note.
According to a median of polls published before February 9 when a blackout period for surveys began, the center-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani and his Democratic Party (PD) have a 5.7-percentage-point lead over Berlusconi's revamped Popolo della Liberta' (PDL). They are followed by comedian Beppe Grillo's 5-Star Movemen t, seen by many as a protest vote, and technocrat leader Mario Monti's bloc in fourth place.
Credit Suisse's analysts remarked that the comeback in the polls of billionaire Berlusconi's party and the rise of the protest vote (around 30 percent of potential voters remained undecided or planned to abstain) had created an air of uncertainty before elections due on February 24 and 25.
"In our view, the most likely outcome remains a governing coalition between the center-left led by Pier Luigi Bersani and the center led by Mario Monti…however, there are several alternatives and sub-scenarios that cannot be dismissed," the analysts said.
A Match Made in Heaven?
In particular, the risk of no party winning an outright majority or the formation of a broad coalition could be unsettling for markets, at least in the short term, given that it would basically mean a hung parliament scenario," Credit Suisse said.
"Even if some components of the 'anti-system' parties could join the coalition that has won a relative majority, that solution would imply a weak and heterogeneous government. The probability of new elections within a year or two would be relatively high," the note added.
Despite their differences over labor-market reform, pro-European Bersani has said his PD party would form a coalition with technocrat Monti, whose popularity in the polls has fallen since his government introduced tough austerity policies to tackle a 120 percent debt- to-GDP ratio.

Stefano Fassana, economic advisor in Bersani's party, told CNBC that the most important thing for the next government was to implement reforms, a strategy that chimes with Mario Monti's manifesto.
"The problem for the next government is not one of survival, it's one of implementing reforms. We want to have a credible and able government able to do this", he told CNBC in Rome, ruling out forming a coalition with the extreme left.

Although there is a tremendous backlog for medical appointments at the VA Hospitals, I strongly suggest all veterans' complete applications for enrollment. The VA offers a comprehensive plan of health care services with no monthly premiums. And, depending on your income, there may be no or a low co-payment. Medications prescribed and dispensed through the VA are at a greatly reduced rate. You may call the Application Toll-Free Hotline at 1-877-222-8387 and they will send you an application form. Forms and additional information are also available at my office. Please have a copy of your DD-214 (Discharge Papers) available for service verification purposes.
Volunteer Drivers Recognized
Transportation provided to the many veterans to and from the Portland and Vancouver Medical Centers has been in place for over a year. The program started with one volunteer driver and one vehicle. We now have four drivers and two vehicles. Thanks for the many hours, dedication and assistance given by volunteer drivers: John, Roark, Skip and Bill. You have made this greatly needed service possible.
Veterans Honored by France
Veterans who served on French soil during World War II and had applied to the French Government for the "Thank You America"certificate will be properly honored. The Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs held a ceremony at the State Fairgrounds in Salem Thursday. Approximately 300 Oregon Veterans requested the certificate. Applications are still available at my office or on the French Embassy's website at http://www.info-france-usa.org. Further ceremonies will be scheduled at later dates.
The Veterans Service Office is located at 600 E. Marina way (DMV Building). Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed noon to 1:30 p.m.) on Mondays and Thursdays, telephone 386-1080.

Unfortunately, I think they have to move on. The way he's orchestrated this seems a bit distasteful, but not as distasteful as paying him $110 million dollars and having him sulk for 14 years.
And let's say he says he's happy. I can't think he'd be the most popular player amongst the fans at this point, draining the teams' coffers and affecting their ability to sign other players.
Agree. I think that Weber and the Preds will be parting company and it's now a matter of what the Predators want in return and just how hardball Holmgren will be on what he gives up. Considering the rather ruthless and shrewd move he made to get Weber to sign the offer sheet tells me that it could be a real showdown at the last minute between him and Poile over the Weber deal.
Of course, the NHL could step in at any time and rule the offer sheet void and do a reset.

The lab is designed to promote a learning environment that will enhance the clinical experiences of students assigned to the hospital. In addition, the lab will provide an opportunity for radiographers to engage in clinical research activities.
"This learning lab will enable Woodhull to extend its outreach to the communities it serves and provide a future in the healthcare arena for the youth of North Brooklyn," said Iris Jimenez Hernandez, senior vice president of the Woodhull North Brooklyn Health Network.
Students from the City Tech Radiologic Technology and Medical Imaging program will intern at the new lab. They will be supervised by faculty from the College and mentored by licensed radiologic technologists on staff at Woodhull.
"We are very pleased about this partnership, which will offer our students expanded opportunities for a meaningful career in the field of radiography, and provide them with clinical hands-on experience," said Barbara Grumet, City Tech's dean of professional studies.
The learning lab was made possible through a federal funding allocation of $321,000 from Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez.
"Through this latest collaboration with New York City College of Technology, our neighbors gain improved healthcare options and increased career opportunities," Velázquez said. "I am proud to support Woodhull's efforts to both improve and expand their services to the Brooklyn community."
Woodhull Medical Center is a 411-bed acute care hospital on Broadway in Brooklyn. It serves Williamsburg, Bushwick, Greenpoint, Fort Greene, and Bedford-Stuyvesant, and as the anchor for the North Brooklyn healthcare network, encompassing 16 community-based health centers. Woodhull is a member of The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) and is affiliated with the New York University School of Medicine.

On temptation
This was the first thing Mark had been asked to do which he himself, before he did it, clearly knew to be criminal. But the moment of his consent almost escaped his notice; certainly, there was no struggle, no sense of turning a corner. There may have been a time in the world's history when such moments fully revealed their gravity, with witches prophesying on a blasted heath or visible Rubicons to be crossed. But, for him, it all slipped past in a chatter of laughter, of that intimate laughter between fellow professionals, which of all earthly powers is strongest to make men do very bad things before they are yet, individually, very bad men.

Flushing Meadows Corona Park is very important to the people of Queens. With many acres of grass and trees, it is a place where thousands of people come every day to relax and enjoy the beauty of the park.
This is what Flushing Meadow park is for; it's not to be torn up and turned into a soccer stadium complex. Why don't the developers build it in Central Park? If they attempted to do that ,they would be met with major opposition from Manhattanites and politicians alike.
Our politicians here in Queens better open their mouths and steadfastly stand against this absurd proposal. Keep Flushing Meadow Park a park – permanently.

Author Notes: I wasn't a bread maker before I joined Food52. I caught the bug after trying AntoniaJames' Buttermilk Oatmeal bread. I've explored many different types of breads and rolls since then. This one is an adaptation of a recipe for oatmeal bread from the James Beard Foundation website, which I checked out after Stephanie Bourgeois' cook spotlight. When I tried it, the subtle depth of flavor from the molasses really surprised me. Even if you aren't an experienced bread maker, don't fear. The steps are straightforward and the dough is a dream to handle (no kneading). It is also very flexible because the 1st rise in refrigerator can go as little as two hours to overnight. One of the changes I made is to really up the butter because I love buttery rolls! Rolling up each roll helps give a nice and shred-y texture when you pull the rolls apart. And don't pass on brushing the baked rolls with butter after they come out of the oven. The smell of the hot rolls and butter is heavenly, hence the name. - monkeymom —monkeymom
Food52 Review: Monkeymom's supple, rich rolls have just a hint of sweetness to them -- they're chewy and tender and full of deep flavor from the molasses, but versatile enough to complement (rather than overwhelm) a variety of main dishes. We love the ease of the first refrigerator rise, and these are virtually guaranteed to come out looking beautiful, with their butter-slicked and oat-flecked tops. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 8-12
Prep time: 2 hrs 30 min
Cook time: 40 min
teaspoons active dry yeast
tablespoon dark brown sugar
cup lukewarm water
cup milk
cup rolled oats
cup butter cut into cubes
tablespoons molasses
teaspoons salt
2 1/2
cups unbleached all-purpose or bread flour (up to 3 cups)
tablespoons melted butter for brushing tops of rolls (up to 3 tablespoons)
- Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup lukewarm water with a pinch of sugar. Let stand until bubbly. If it doesn't get bubbly, throw it out and get some new yeast.
- Scald milk then add it to the butter in your mixing bowl. When butter has melted, add brown sugar, rolled oats, molasses, and salt. Blend thoroughly and cool to lukewarm.
- Add egg and mix well. Add the yeast and mix to incorporate it. Then mix in 2 ½ cups of the flour. Add what you need to of the remaining ½ cup of flour until the dough loses its sheen. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Scrape the dough out of the mixing bowl and put it in a greased bowl. Turn to coat and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of two hours. It can sit overnight as well. It doesn't rise a lot.
- Turn out the chilled dough on a floured work surface and knead or fold and turn the dough slightly. Cut dough into 12 balls. Press each ball into a flat rectangle with your fingers, then roll up and tuck ends under. Place seam-side down in a well-buttered 9 inch round pan. Brush all over with ½ of melted butter and sprinkle with a little of the rolled oats. Let rise until doubled in size in a warm place, about two hours.
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until rolls are nicely browned and sound hollow when you tap their tops. The internal temperature should be 190 degrees. Remove from the pans and brush generously with remaining melted butter. Let cool on a rack for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve warm…with salted butter!

I have not been blogging for a while as I did not feel I had anything to really blog about. The truth is, I was just trying to do everything work, children's activities, maintain the home and in all of this, yet again forgot to do me! I had to come to a halt and really ask myself, "where are your old buddies girl Confidence and Joy?" The answer was unsatisfactory, as I just don't know. Among the chores, the children, the work and being single, I have seemed to misplace them. I have been going through the motions for such a long time I have formed bad habits, an example is, not putting me first, not spoiling myself and not loving me. I have been neglecting me and putting my likes to the side.
I miss my buddies, they would never of allowed things to get out of hand, they would of never of stood for a person named Fear becoming a companion of mine. That's why I am on a mission to find them, because I miss them and without them I am only half of the person I should be.
I feel that they are close by, as today on my quest to find them, I went to a place we use to hang out called (Gym), as I got to the door, Fear tried to convince me to go back to my car, but something inside me said
"honey if you walk in, your on the right path to finding your buddies" I pulled that door open and now I am embarking on a journey, I kept putting off.
