"And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood (Hebrews 13:2)."
Three years ago, Chris Simpson led a white pride march. Two years ago, he abandoned the white supremacist movement. This past April (2012), he was baptized.
Chris, a 38-year-old garbage man and former Marine had the words "PURE HATE" tattooed across his knuckles.
After the loss of his first child, Simpson had a lot of hatred and anger built up inside. The white pride movement gave Simpson a place to direct his anger and frustration�at people of other races.
After he and his family watched the movie �Courageous,� he began attending church. One month later he was baptized as a follower of Jesus Christ.
"Any kind of burdens I carried before, I let them go." Simpson said, "There�s no need to carry things that happen in the past. I forgave all those who wronged me and asked forgiveness from those that I have wronged."
Simpson has left hate behind. He�s even going through the Freedom Ink Tattoo removal program too -- starting with the word HATE.

I read of a minister who was visiting one of his members. The lady of the house was trying to impress him about how devout she was by pointing out the large Bible on the bookshelf and talking in a very reverential way of it as "the Word of God". Her young son interrupted the conversation, "Well, if that�s God�s book we better send it back to him because we never read it!"

An old American Indian tale recounts the story of a chief who was telling a gathering of young braves about the struggle within. "It is like two dogs fighting inside of us," the chief told them. "There is one good dog who wants to do the right and the other dog always wants to do the wrong. Sometimes the good dog seems stronger and is winning the fight. But sometimes the bad dog is stronger and wrong is winning the fight."
"Who is going to win in the end?" a young brave asks.
The chief answered "The one you feed."
A man flew into Chicago & hired a taxi to take him downtown. As he was riding along they came to a red light & the driver went right on through the red light.
The man said, "Hey, the light was red. You�re supposed to stop." The driver said, "Yeah, I know, but my brother does it all the time."
Soon they came to a second red light & again he went right straight through. The passenger said, "You�re going to get us killed. That light was red. Why didn�t you stop?"
The driver said, "Don�t worry about it. My brother does it all the time."
Then they came to a green light & he stopped. The man said, "The light is green. Now is the time to go. Why don�t you go on through?"
The driver answered, "I know it�s g...
Everyone put your hand out. Imagine with me that you have a lemon in your hand. Feel how cold it is since you just took it out of the refrigerator. Feel the two knobs on the ends? Ok, now take a knife and cut the lemon in half. Careful! Don't cut yourself. Oh, look at the juice run down over the sides. Now, put one half down and just hold the other half of the lemon. Now, look at the inside of the cut lemon. Lean down and smell the lemon. Get a good full sense of the lemon fresh scent of the just cut lemon. Ok, now squeeze the lemon. See the juice ooze up and cover the surface of the cut lemon? Now - lick the lemon. That's right! Lick the lemon. Ok, who feels like you have more saliva than you did a minute a go? How can that be? It was only pretend! The reason is because your body reacts to that which your mind thinks about.
A rather pompous-looking deacon was endeavoring to impress upon a class of boys the importance of living the Christian life. "Why do people call me a Christian?" the man asked. After a moment's pause, one youngster said, "Maybe it's because they don't know you."

Despite the "Do Not Touch" signs, a museum was having no success in keeping patrons from touching--and soiling--priceless furniture and art. But the problem evaporated overnight when a clever museum employee replaced the signs with ones that read: "Caution: Wash Hands After Touching!"
Today in the Word, March, 1990.
In Washington D.C. there is a building called the "National Institute of Standards & Technology." This facility is responsible for storing perfect samples of weights and measurements. They have what are called �prototypes� of pound weights and kilograms. Measuring rods for feet, yards & metric measurements like meters. For example, they have a �Meter Standard� a reinforced bar of platinum alloyed with exactly 10% iridium. When they want to know the exact measurement of a �meter� they cool this bar down to 0 degrees Celsius at a sea level of 45 degrees latitude then they know they will have the exact tip to tip measurement of a meter. That bar is known as �prototype #27, because the original is kept in a suburb of Paris at the International Bureau of Weights & Measures.
We Christians also have a measuring rod that never chang...
"Holiness does not consist in mystic speculations, enthusiastic fervours, or uncommanded austerities; it consists in thinking as God thinks, and willing as God wills."
John Brown, Nineteenth-century Scottish theologian, quoted in J. Bridges, The Pursuit of Holiness, p. 51.
A young man wrote this to his girlfriend. "Sweetheart, if this world was as hot as the Sahara desert, I would crawl on my knees through the burning sand to come to you. If the world would be like the Atlantic Ocean, I would swim through shark infested waters to come to you. I would fight the most fiercest dragon to be by your side. I will see you on Thursday if it does not rain."

Fast Facts40%of all couples struggling with infertility are affected by male factor infertility |
Semen AnalysisThough fertility is often considered a female problem, approximately 50 percent of couples that have trouble conceiving discover the issues are related to male factor infertility. Male factor infertility, a condition in which the sperm function is compromised, makes it difficult for fertilization to occur. Evaluation of the male partner should occur during the initial infertility consultation. Once Dr. Brown identifies the source of the problem, male factor can usually be successfully addressed. |

We've had word that a UK game designer fleeing the country may stop off at York on his travels. Apparently, missing BM! was the only regret he has and saying farewell to our club would ease the pain. Or something like that. Anyway, if you want to playtest some Martin Wallace games, get in early on Saturday. However, this is not yet confirmed, nor is the possibility of getting some games on sale delivered at the club, thus saving on postage. Bringing bundles of cash on Saturday may serve you well. Nothing promised though.
Meanwhile, we meet again all day Saturday at the Railway Institute on Queen Street in York, a bare stone's throw from the railway station. We start at 10am and finish around 10pm. It's remarkable that for months now we've been open and gaming up to 10pm, but people still think we close at 6pm. We never closed at 6pm, we just tended to wind down about sixish. But now it's only a quid after 4pm, we get a boost of people in the afternoon staying through till late.

As Kermit the Frog once sang, "it's not easy being green," or the owner of a Chevy Volt, it seems.
An article posted at car website Edmunds.com says Chevrolet Volt owners are caught in a political crossfire, receiving insults from other drivers for the car they drive. Using a few anecdotes based on interviews with drivers, it says some Volt owners are harassed and held up as an example of wasteful government spending. The Volt also has been touted by supporters of President Obama as a shining symbol of a resurgent American auto industry.
"Some have reported acts of vandalism, like slashed tires or expletives on the windshield," notes Edmunds.com writer Mark Holthoff. "One even found himself being intentionally run off the road."

The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid vehicle made by General Motors (GM). It started selling two years ago and has been a political football ever since.
Presidential candidate Herman Cain last July proclaimed it "Obama's baby" and said, "He's subsidizing the sale of every Volt to the tune of $7,500 in taxpayer money," referring tax credits of up to $7,500 that buyers once received.
Adding fuel to the fire, Republican candidate Mitt Romney, in the first presidential debate on Oct. 3, referred to electric car manufacturers Tesla Motors (TSLA) and Fisker Automotive as "loser" companies.
Said the article: "Liberals hold up the car as an example for building better green technology and a resurgent American auto industry. Conservatives, meanwhile, point to the car as a symbol of wasteful government spending."
Volt owners themselves appear to be an eclectic bunch, Edmunds says. Volts are well represented in all 50 states, with the highest share in California, but popular as well in swing states Colorado and Iowa.
The electric carmaker increased the size of its follow-on stock and note sales by nearly 17%, citing demand from investors. Tesla (TSLA) said in an SEC filing it now expects to gross $968 mil, up from its earlier forecast of $830 mil, on the sale that is slated for Wed. Tesla plans to sell 3.39 mil ...
General Motors (GM) shares broke above the $33 Nov. '10 IPO price for the 1st time in more than 2 years, slightly easing losses for its largest shareholder, the U.S. Treasury. Shares climbed 3.2% to 33.42. The gov't spent $49.5 bil in its GM bailout, and has so far recouped $30.4 bil. It would, ...
Only a dozen stocks on the current IBD 50 list come from groups ranked in the top 20 of the 197 industries tracked by IBD. Some, like Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) and Alaska Air Group (ALK), do come from top-ranked industries. But it is unusual that nearly 60% of the current list belong to ...
SolarCity (SCTY) stock took off Friday, up 26% in afternoon trading at a new high, following word Thursday that Goldman Sachs (GS) will finance more than $500 million in solar panel system installations for SolarCity residential and business customers. It's finance city right now for SolarCity and ...
The major averages held on to most of their gains late Friday after consumer confidence rose to a near six-year high and a gauge of future economic activity rebounded. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 were each up 0.5%, while the Dow Jones industrial average gained 0.4%. Volume was running 12% lower on ...

Older workers: employment
and retirement trends
Patrick J. Purcell
Deciding when to retire is a choice that will affect an individuals economic circumstances for the rest of his or her life. In addition to affecting the lives of individuals, the retirement decisions of older workers have an impact on the Nations economy. The number of people retiring each year affects the size of the labor force, which has a direct impact on the economys capacity to produce goods and services. Other things being equal, fewer retirements in any given year would result in a greater supply of experienced workers available to employers and fewer people relying on savings, pensions, and Social Security as their main sources of income. Consequently, changes in the age profile of the population and in the average age at which people choose to retire have implications for both national income and the size and composition of the Federal budget.
To understand the factors that affect the retirement decision, one must first know what it means to "retire." Retirement is most often defined with reference to two characteristics: nonparticipation in the paid labor force and receipt of income from pensions, Social Security, and other retirement plans. An individual who does not work for compensation and who receives income only from pensions, Social Security, and financial assets would meet this definition of retirement; an individual who works for compensation and receives no income from pensions or Social Security would not meet this definition.

Nebraska Sweet Nothings
My daughter with her cousins, my nephews. |
I sit here at this desk listening to the hushed noises of my nephews as they lay awake in bed. I am hoping any moment now they will find Sleep. My daughter is in the guest bedroom here at my sister-in-law's farm, reading in bed under the cover with my booklight. I remember when I did that. No matter how fast I was at putting it all down, I could never fool my parents. They knew I had been reading simply because I wasn't snoring when they popped their heads in--apparently I snore; didn't know that. I am not thinking on anything in particular. My mind is coming up pretty blank as I submit a rare posting on my blog. Blogging is not what it use to be for me; it probably never will be, but I do not care. I enjoying taking moments like these and expressing myself in some raw manner. Life is still moving forward--shall I do a quickie update for you all?
- I am still a mother.
- I still cook from scratch.
- I am still a Yogi and Organic lover.
- I still take walks in the moonlight by myself.
- Photography is still a beautiful, artistic outlet that is forever judged.
- My husband is still deployed.
- Aurora, our German Shepherd Zuko, and I are still on our roadtrip.
- We still play life by ear, as with everything else.
- We still take nothing personal.
- Life is too short to worry about the little things, to stress about things you cannot change.
- I am loving my life. It feels so peaceful right now.
- Every day is a new day.
- I am so proud of my daughter. She is so smart and advanced. She didn't get her smartness from me...
- Zuko is my own personal wolf, my body guard. I love him as a mother loves a child.
- Every sunset is a beautiful one here in the midwest.
- Mary Kay is the ONLY way to go if you want amazing skin. So sad that it took me this long to discover them.
- Weightloss is pretty easy when you are determined enough, I've learned.
Just keep kicking. Patience is in deed a virture that MOST people don't have. Don't be an attention grabber, and learn to forgive and actually forget---then your life will be peeeeerfect. xoxo

The programme launched with Charlie calling his minions into a meeting, and he pulled no punches by outrightly requesting that staff take part in writing their salaries on a board for the rest of the team to see.
Unrest ensued, bitterness was rife and to top it off Mullins left employees to sort it out amongst themselves - from call centre staff to canteen workers, all the way up to body workers and the plumbers themselves. The proposition was that instead of expecting him to raise salaries, staff were to evenly distribute their wage packets as a responsibility to their team.
Call centre workers on £18,000 were furious that a new recruit was earning £3,000 more a year. Mechanic Mark resented his co-worker earning £9,000 more despite having exactly the same position. Canteen worker Tina's measly income of £14,500 left her with only £5 a week in spare cash. Yet, the plumbers came out on trump, with some earning £150,000 a year.
So what was the solution? In an attempt to restore justice, call workers pleaded with plumbers to donate £3 a week of their earnings to bump up their £18,000 salaries, which was met with laughter and accusations of "go and find another job if you're not happy, nobodies forcing you to work here." Scott Mullins, Charlie's son and call centre manager, earns £120,000, with his only comment being "Dad's company- get off my case!" Equally, PR Director Karl refused to give up £1,000 of his £56,000 salary to donate to canteen worker Tina, instead asking for a pay rise increase to £75,000 (which Charlie scoffs at, saying "Who does he think he is, Max bleedin' Clifford?")
Overall, the documentary raises so many questions on the taboo of discussing wage packets and the dangers of running an informal pay scheme that, in Charlie's words, is based on 'You look like you're working hard, have a few more quid. You look like a lazy bastard, we take a few quid off ya'." There was also this overriding theme that people should feel grateful for any job at all, with top earning plumber 'Lurch' telling a call centre worker she should stop complaining about the cost of her rent and be grateful that she has a roof over her head, which of course was met with malice.
Hoiwever, the programme concluded with a happy workforce and a teary-eyed Charlie who was clearly proud of the results shown not by senior management, but by his team of mechanics in the garage. Instead of arguing over losing their wages, the team worked out that they could make savings across their supply chain without losing quality, using the money reaped back to fund the whole team gaining the pay rise they requested, with amounts met with Charlie's own money.
I'd recommend business owners in particular to watch the programme here if you want to see a great case study on analysing those working for you and how to inevitably gain a happier workforce. The mechanics initiative towards the end also sheds light on a recent trend encouraging businesses to give workers in lower positions projects to showcase their skills, eeking out the real talent within the company. However, I question the notion that any company can have a truly happy workforce if salaries are exposed. After all, it is usually those working on the ground level that are keeping the business afloat and suffer silently, while top earning execs reap the rewards and sit in comfortable private offices. Can there ever be an equlibrium whereby employees accept that rates of pay aren't always based on how hard you work?

The Girl: Toby Jones and Imelda Staunton shine in this overlong account of Hitchcock's dangerous relationship with Tippi Hedren
In my review of tonight's ITV drama Doors Open I stated how a lot of people want to watch an uncomplicated piece of television on Boxing Day as they work off their turkey hangovers. This isn't always the case though as some people want to escape from all the festive cheer and watch something a little different and that is provided by The Girl. The drama focuses on Alfred Hitchcock's relationship with actress Tippi Heddren and is a co-production between the BBC and American cable network HBO where it already aired earlier in the year.

Inside the head of a new cult member
Allen Tate Wood, a counselor who specialises in the mental and spiritual rehabilitation of former cu
By Allen Tate Wood Published 30 June 2008 13:06Much of the early discourse on the reasons for cult involvement missed the boat entirely by focusing on real or suspected pathology in the newly converted cult member. Though individual psychopathology should not be entirely dismissed, my experience as a cult member, cult recruiter and cult workshop director and ultimately as an exit counselor and educator on the cult phenomenon has consistently led me to consider the psycho-technology of the group in question. Psycho-technology, simply put, is the combination of a cult's teachings, doctrine and recruiting/training procedures.
The goal of cult psycho-technology is the production of a series of peak experiences designed to make an impression on new recruits. For many cult members, these behaviorally and environmentally induced "spiritual experiences" lead from a healthy, open and questioning attitude to a complete regression into dependence and reliance on the cult group.
These experiences, occurring often as they do within the highly charged, tightly controlled atmosphere of the cult, are not subjected to the kind critical scrutiny that they ordinarily would be. Instead they are metabolized and socialized within the language and doctrine of the cult. They are the occasion for increased approval from the group. Phenomenologically speaking, they initiate the "divine history" of the individual, and they reinforce the history and mythology of the group. What is perceived as a flash of illumination and liberation becomes, in fact, the first step in a march toward moral slavery and psychological bondage.
The successfully socialized cult member has entered a world in which submission to authority, blind obedience and conformity have supplanted such "outmoded" notions of character formation as the development of self-reliance, the capacity for critical thinking and the need for openness and compassion in human relationships. Successful indoctrination into a destructive cult results in the repudiation of the individual conscience, rejection of one's critical faculties and the colonization of the imagination understood as a supernatural experience.

Amazing. a brilliantly concise precise into the motivations of and the techniques used upon a new cult member.
Will, you are right: Idealism is actually the central and certainly the initial reason a person joins a cult. But the person's motivations have very little to do with why he or she stays. And that is Allen Wood's point: the exercise of free will stops being something a person can choose once he or she has been taken in to the clenching bosom of the cult. And the paradigm of the destructive cult is analogous to addiction: a drinker or drug user will say they can choose, will say they are not in thrall, but the truth is they lost the ability to choose early in the game.
It's amazing how many words a person can use and yet, say little or nothing new.
Thank you Alan for this articulate and rational Text. I hope your sound Counselling work continues.
I remember you well,during in your time in the UK.
Thank you also to the Spectator for printing this
important educative piece.
More please.
Best regards D

Deadheading Flowers Can be Fun
Deadheads in the garden are easier to deal with. We simply pluck them out. It is time to deadhead when flowers are tired and unenthused, their blossoms spent.

Salt Lake Tribune
Deadheading is my favorite gardening verb. Announcing my intention to go to the garden and deadhead always turns a head in my house. "You're doing what?" my husband asks.
I first heard the term deadhead decades ago, as applied to fans of Jerry Garcia, and again when my mother made it plural and applied it to a group of slow-moving art students my father had hired to help him finish construction details in his new studio.
Deadheads in the garden are easier to deal with. We simply pluck them out. It is time to deadhead when flowers are tired and unenthused, their blossoms spent. At that point, the flowers are considering the task of making seeds and should be clipped before they spend such energy. Besides, deadheading is fun and can be habit-forming.
In The Flower Gardener's Bible by Lewis and Nancy Hill, the authors confess to their enthusiasm for the practice. "The deadheading habit has become so established in us that more than once we've found ourselves in the embarrassing position of deadheading while visiting a friend's garden," they write.
I chuckled at that passage, since I am guilty of the same behavior, sometimes in public gardens. I figure deadheading is an endless task and that everyone, myself included, appreciates a little help.
I aggressively deadheaded (bordering on chopping to the ground) a misplaced, misguided, mystery clump of Shasta daisies in June. I revisited them with a vengeance last week.
To properly deadhead, cut the spent stem at the point where it connects with the main stem, or the point at which there is new growth. Simply popping the dead blossoms off stems isn't good enough, and leaves the garden full of headless sticks. Plants with smaller blossoms, such as dianthus, can be cut all over, more aggressively.
This also gives the garden a tidied-up look and may promote another bloom time if the growing season is long enough.
Daisies, daylilies, dianthus, coreopsis, marigolds, petunias and geraniums demand deadheading attention and look awful if they are ignored. Even low-water, low-maintenance flowers like the penstemons and yarrow appreciate the boost of a good deadheading at the end of the season.
The Hills write that unless you are collecting seeds for next year, letting the plants form seeds also weakens the plant and can shorten its life

The Tomato Project – and #Tuesday Tunes
I recently discovered that gardening might be the thing one of the things I am missing from my life.
As spring nicks in, seeing nature hastily wake, trees and bushes in buds, I feel
The opportunity of changing, starting over things, new possibilities opening up for me.
If only it lasted longer! Good things tend to rush away too fast nowadays. When I was young kid, a day consisted of 30 hours at least, but as I get older (and with the kiddos on-board), I am pretty sure that someone is STEALING HOURS FROM ME!!!
Now I have only 18-20 hours a day. I have been trying to compensate those missing hours lately with shortening my sleeping hours, but it does not seem to be working very well. I am tired AND still missing my hours.
People say that "The older you get, the faster time flies". I don't want to end up only having 10 hours a day when I am old pridefully aged…
Back to topic:
I got some beautiful sweet and juicy tomatoes this weekend from a friend of mine…and ops, an idea presented itself.
But I had no idea how to pipe up…
So I asked my mother-in-law searched the omniscient Internet…and found out that I can use the seeds from these juicy tomatoes for bedding plants that I later can prick out to my garden for a lot of sunshine.
Yay, baby, in a couple of weeks, if I don't forget to water them, I am going to have plants like this!
This is what I am hoping for: my kids, stuffing their mouths with self-grown tomatoes this summer.
You never know, if this project goes well, I might extend and add some more vegetables to my gardening project…which in some strange way, makes me remember this good old song from James, enjoy! Happy Tuesday Tunes!
For more Tuesday Tunes, visit Amanda at High Impact Mom and link up, too!

This is a good article. I hadn't even considered what the shift to cloud ...
4 keys to succeeding in cloud services
Tim Jellison
While consumers and enterprises hail "the cloud" for its ability to provide flexible, low cost and easily accessible computing power, traditional hardware and software providers tend to see the innovation somewhat differently. For them, the cloud is a disruption of the highest order that threatens their competitiveness and in some cases their survival. As such, these companies must make dramatic changes in their strategies, operating models and governance approaches to succeed in this fast-growing cloud market.
With the cloud supporting an ever-expanding collection of "anything-as-a-service," or XaaS, solutions, established hardware and software companies recognize they face one especially vexing challenge: Figuring out how to develop appropriate operating models to capitalize on customer demands for cloud-based XaaS solutions while continuing to support traditional product-focused businesses that form their core offerings.
This is not a simple task, as our research confirms. The research included interviews with more than 40 senior executives from 30 companies that operate or are building software-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service or infrastructure-as-a-service cloud-based businesses.
Executives we interviewed emphasized how hard it is to understand the complexity that comes with providing a service versus a hardware "box" or software license, and then to adjust capabilities to enable these "as-a-service" offerings. As one business unit executive for a XaaS provider said, "This is a massive shift in how we manage and deploy resources. If companies aren't thinking about this, they should be. But the question becomes: Is the business model moving to something that you have in your DNA to change?"
The research confirmed that virtually all companies are struggling to deal with operational complexity caused by XaaS, and by new business models more broadly. The reality is that building the new XaaS capabilities required to succeed, and embracing a services-centric mentality, requires hard work that touches virtually every corporate function. In most cases, the launch of new XaaS businesses far outpaces a company's operational ability to deliver and scale, the research found. This can have disastrous consequences.
"We are going 100 miles per hour and the cliff is 10 miles away," explained the general manager of a cloud business. "We go 'kaboom' in just a few quarters unless we get our operations functioning quickly."
Next: Lesson learned
John Okada
This is a good article. I hadn't even considered what the shift to cloud computing did to how companies operated in the industry. Technology in general is always changing and you really have to stay on your toes to keep up. There are so many cloud service providers out there now and it's difficult to sift through them all. You can find out about the best providers at www.Top10CloudStorage.com. Plenty of good information on this site. Well worth checking out.

A little background: A few months ago, I approached a good friend of mine with a nice offer:To make apps for a specific platform along with marketing and distributing them. He knew very little about this industry, but I was hopeful that he would learn quickly. He seemed so excited, so I thought he would learn it as if he needed it to survive. As months passed, he showed strong reluctance to learn, and piggybacked off my work. I admit I'm a bit demanding and picky with my work, as his main role was to design, and mine to take care of development. However, everything he sent me was bad quality, and I had to redo it myself. The first version of the app was very successful, and the future sales looks very promising. We are working on the second version now, which is many times better than the current version. The sales outlook is very bright, and now I am faced with a problem.
I dont want to screw my friend over at all. I promised him a 50% stake in all profits, and I'd hate to change my word on that. I really expected him to be a harder worker than he is. I wasnt expecting this. While I dont want to screw him out of 50%, as he does rely on this money, I also dont feel it is fair that he earns this much for the little work he did. Right now, this app is only available for the iPhone, but we hope to expand to many other platforms in the very near future. With that said, I dont mind sharing his promised cut for this platform, but as we expand to other platforms, I dont think he will make a good addition to what will then become a 1 man team.
I understand this question is very specific, but in general, it relates to dealing with partners that are also friends-very good friends. How should I approach this without damaging our friendship? What can any of you advise, based on your experiences?

Dear Members of Guatemalan Congress,
In solidarity with the Community Radio Movement of Guatemala, we express our disapproval of the proposed law 4479, presented by the representatives of the LIDER Party in the Congress of the Republic on July 10, 2012, which aims to criminalize the use of radio spectrum. This initiative is aimed at community radio stations that do not have legal status and are fighting for recognition. For that reason, since 2010, community radio stations have been promoting the initiative 4087, which proposes the legal recognition of the same.
This initiative 4479 undermines the democratization of the media, because the role of the state is only to manage the radio spectrum because it is a common good that belongs to the Guatemalan people collectively and not only the business sector. This measure is contrary to the provisions of subsection H of the Agreement on Identity and Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Article 35 of the Political Constitution of the Republic and international agreements. Freedom of expression is a human right established in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations and in Article 13 of the American Convention of the Organization of American States. Furthermore, Article 16 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples specifies the right of indigenous peoples to have their own media. The proposed law also threatens the efforts of the community radio movement, which for 16 years fought for the recognition within the legal framework of the country of the right of indigenous and other traditionally excluded peoples to have their own media.
We ask those honest members of Congress elected by popular vote to oppose the adoption of this initiative, which only serves the interests of the media monopoly in Guatemala, and not the interests of the excluded majorities. Furthermore, we demand that the Congress facilitate approval of Initiative 4087, on community media, which already has received a favorable ruling from the Congressional Commission of Indigenous Peoples.
While on August 9, 2012, the United Nations proclaimed the international year of indigenous media, in Guatemala indigenous peoples are still denied the right of having their own media.

Can't pack up your cares and woes? Here's what you can do!
A sick spouse, looming deadlines, mounting medical bills, piles of laundry...it's enough to make anyone anxious. But if these cares and more keep spinning through your head like a CD on continuous play or you always worry that the worst will happen, such frequent fretting will keep you up at night and drain the joy from your day. Though life's demands are here to stay, you can change the way you think about your woes. To stop obsessing...
Dwell on Your Worries—the Healthy Way
Schedule time each day to sit and think about what's bothering you, and allow yourself to fret only during "worry time." If concerns crop up before then, mentally file them away or jot them down in a special notebook to mull over later. Relegating worries to a specific period will limit their impact on the rest of your day.
Ideally, you should set aside 30 minutes to stew over problems, focusing on solutions rather than what-ifs. Experiments at Penn State University found that half an hour (but not less) of concentrated worry reduces worrying by about 40 percent, possibly because that's enough time to either exhaust a fear or to consider it more realistically.
Brainstorm Solutions
One of the best ways to prevent worries from mushrooming is to take action, says Robert L. Leahy, PhD, author of The Worry Cure. "If you can act now, then you can turn worrying into a productive problem-solving experience. Ask yourself, 'What can I do about a worry in the next 24 hours?'" he advises. "Can you make a list of things to do? Call people who can help? Read an article that might shed some light on the subject? If not, then chances are the problem is too vague or too far in the future to be much of a threat."
Do One (Small) Thing
"Once you have a plan for overcoming a problem, it can seem overwhelming to implement it," says researcher Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, PhD, a professor of psychology at Yale and author of Women Who Think Too Much. "Many times, by focusing on doing something small that can make a dent in your dilemma, you can break through these feelings of immobilization."
Find Another Focus
Worry can leave you spinning your wheels because a problem isn't solvable or you're just too agitated to put anxieties aside. In that case, short-circuit worry by going for a walk in a beautiful place, immersing yourself in a juicy mystery or movie, baking a cake or singing along with a CD of your favorite group.
"In my research, I have found that engaging in pleasant distractions for just eight minutes is remarkably effective in lifting people's moods and breaking their cycle of repetitive thought," says Dr. Nolen-Hoeksema. "Even more important, we have found that focusing on pleasant diversions improves people's outlook and their problem-solving skills."
Recall a Relaxing Time
Remembering, say, a day at the beach or a tranquil time in a small café in vivid detail-the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and feelings-can interrupt your worrisome thoughts, says New York City psychotherapist Laurie Nadel, PhD. "Harvard research has shown that while you mentally relive a carefree time, your body will recreate the calming chemicals that were present when you experienced it," she says. "You'll quickly feel less apprehensive and more in control."
Conjure a Happy Ending
When you worry about things that might happen, you fill your mind with imagined details about how everything will turn out badly. "These 'stories' actually make a worst-case scenario seem more likely since they are easier to remember than specific facts," says Dr. Leahy. Rather than brooding over the possibility of a bad outcome, replace that horror story in your head with one with a happy ending. For instance, if you're worried about the results of a medical test, picture the doctor giving you good news. "Since research shows that 85 percent of outcomes are positive, you might even be right!" says Dr. Leahy.
Tell Yourself Why a Worry Really Isn't a Problem
Is what you're worrying about the end of the world—or merely an inconvenience? "We typically fret about issues that may have unpleasant but not terrible consequences—for instance, that you might miss a deadline or a doctor's appointment," says Dr. Leahy. To prevent yourself from turning an ultimately inconsequential problem into a catastrophe, he advises patients to complete this thought: This is not a problem because...
Take Your Thoughts to Court
Anxious thoughts are just that—they aren't ironclad truths that will necessarily hold up under serious scrutiny. Examine the evidence that a fear will become reality—even ask friends if your concerns are rational. Challenge negative thoughts with helpful facts and focus on the positive aspects of the situation.
Even if the worst happens-often only a slim possibility-there will be things you can do to make yourself feel better or improve the situation. "In fact, research shows that worriers are just as good as non-worriers at solving real problems," says Dr. Leahy. "Seventy-nine percent of the time worrywarts say, 'I handled it better than I thought I would.'"

San Antonio Spurs assistant coach, Brett Brown, has stepped down as head coach for Australia's men's basketball head coach according to the Brisbane Times.
Brown, citing he can no longer commit to another four years as head coach, guided the Boomers to the 2012 London games where the team would eventually lose to Team USA in the tournament. It was a successful run in the Olympic tournament considering the team was without star Andrew Bogut.
"I inherited a strong Boomer culture moulded by many committed, outstanding coaches and players that have come before me," Brown said in a statement.
"My staff and I are confident that the current program is well placed to again be brought forward."
"I leave with fond memories of a group of players who played with a spirit and toughness that earned the respect of the global basketball fraternity."
"I am proud to have been their coach."

- The Conflict Of Visions
I think it's worth saying that this conflict over the debt ceiling really is a clash of political philosophies. Keynesians are institutionally short sighted and believe that you can bear any long term expense for a defined short term benefit. They will spend Thursday's hamburger today in the hope that by the time Thursday comes there will be another way to solve the problem.
Meanwhile the Austrian school focuses on long term realities which are completely unavoidable. But while the Austrian thinkers can tell you what will happen, it's terrible at letting you know precisely when. Things work until they don't, and when they collapse it's a surprise to everyone – even the Austrian school-ers.
So we have Team Obama and the congressional Democrats worried about the short term economic impact that will come from no more spending, and we have the house Republicans worried about the long term consequences of even more borrowing. Obama is the junkie who wants more crack, and Republicans are worried about letting him burn the furniture to keep the house warm.
As a professional investor, I think if there were any indication that the Democrats were capable of dealing with these issues, I'd come down on their side. I think the situation in Japan indicates that we have far more rope than anyone believes. I don't think the US is nearing insolvency and that we can run our debt to GDP ration much higher before the markets decide to balk.
But I don't think there has ever been a group of political actors less 'serious' than the current spate of Democrats. They are as delusional and detached from reality as many mental patients. I'm astounded they can dress themselves in the morning. One look at Nancy Pelosi will tell you all you need to know about these people. They see themselves as the heroes of a movie that is playing, only in their heads.
I don't believe they are capable of managing the government of the United States or its finances in any rational way. I think if left to their own devices they will burn the furniture, the floorboards, the walls and ceiling, and anything else they can get their hands on. And winter is still a long way off. I think they are behaving like completely irresponsible children. And they are showing no sign of awareness that there are consequences to their actions.
Because that's so… because I believe that if left to their own devices Democrats would make things much worse not better, I have to come down on the side of the House Republicans. This isn't a question of political pragmatism, but of the long term solvency of the Republic. If we were to give the Democrats what they want, then the next time we ran out of money we would have the same problems with a higher multiple.

The Reid Plan, if the leaked reports do it justice, is the first rational Democcrat response I have seen in this negotiation. I am sure that the sentiment among the class of 2010 is, "Let's see where the mines have been laid." The good thing about "yellow sheeting," is that the time pressure gambit does not work, because - it's yellow sheeted.
So, a downgrade of the debt to AA is inevitable. Does the downgrade sink to to just AA, if all agree on a bill say August 4 or 5? - July 25, 2011 at 8:52 AM

Reid Plan rational?? Yes, I wrote those two words in the same sentence. Can I have a do-over?
- July 25, 2011 at 3:47 PM
- Tom said...
I don't think there was ever a question of anyhting below AA unless of course there is a default, which would put it at a D.
but the talk from the banks is that Obama and Treasury have assured them that the debt will be a first priority, so I guess the big O doesn't have it in him to blow it all up after all.
As for your unfortunate word selection, I think we can give you a pass. It's not like you used the word 'radical' eight times in a single sentence or anything REALLY ridiculous like that. - July 25, 2011 at 4:18 PM

Mayor Nutter is very interested in the public health of the citizen he is responsible for. recently has done a lot with Lisa Jackson of the EPA learning about brown fields and environmental justice. Unfortunately, the city still has a long way to go to protect the people from the health hazards in the city. Most of the deadliest pollution comes from the soil and groundwater. One can learn a great deal from mistakes. Building on a contaminated site without proper protocol and safety has put at least one neighbor in hospital several times and displaced her from her home for years. This was bad planning. Don't let it happen again and resolve what you can. All citizens are entitled to protection from environmental harm and no development should be excused basic environmental safety.

Officers keep watch on a home that is the subject of a search warrant on 8th Street in Aberdeen Wednesday morning.The street was closed off and as many as two dozen officers from various departments responded because police had identified eight to 10 people frequenting the house, most of them with arrest warrants.
Between 18 and two dozen law enforcement officers helped serve a search warrant Wednesday morning on a suspected drug house on Broadway and 8th Street in Aberdeen. The affluent neighborhood includes homes by judges, doctors and Aberdeen council members.
Aberdeen Police Capt. John Green said that the large response was because officers had identified eight to 10 people frequenting the house, most of them with arrest warrants and known by local police officials.
Police arrested two people in the house on Wednesday, but Green said officers didn't really know what to expect while serving the search warrant and prepared for a possible standoff. Green said officers were still identifying the two suspects.
Police officers cordoned off a block of 8th Street on both sides and brought in help from the Hoquiam Police Department, which brought their command vehicle; and the state Department of Corrections.
"Admittedly, this is not an area you'd expect a potential drug house to be," Green said. "But this shows it can happen anywhere and we have received many, many complaints about this house and activity going on here."
Green said officers came prepared to look for drugs, drug paraphernalia and weapons, breaking open padlocks and combing the attic of the house.

Chelsea wave Benitez goodbye with win over Everton
After a week full of emotion, Chelsea signed off their 2012-13 campaign with a flourish in their 2-1 home win over Everton on Sunday. With Frank Lampard scoring the goals that places him alone at the summit of Chelsea's all-time scoring list and Branislav Ivanovic securing the club a second major European trophy in two years, the team could have been forgiven for being off the boil in the 70th game of a ludicrously exhausting season. Instead, there was energy, desire and more than a little creativity as Chelsea made sure of the third-place finish that they so utterly deserved.

'iphonexxxforce.com' forced to come clean
Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything
Apple has succeeded in prying loose a gaggle of iPhone-related domain names that were being used by a porn purveyor to redirect to its digital rumpy-pumpy wares.
As The Reg reported earlier this month, Apple filed a complaint with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) alleging misuse of 'iPhone" in the seven domain names in question: the clearly porn-pushing iphonesex4s.com, iphonexxxforce.com, iphoneporn4s.com, and porn4iphones.com; the possibly tittilational iphonecamforce.com and iphonecam4s.com; and the rather demure – though clearly trademark-violating – iphone4s.com.
On Tuesday, Domain Name Wire reported that Apple had dropped the complaint after the domain names were handed over to them. A WhoIs check now shows the names under the ownership of the brand-protection agency MarkMonitor.
Formerly, a WhoIs check showed the identity of the domain name's owner to be protected by Moniker's privacy service, but Domain Name Wire reports that the privacy shield was later removed, showing the owner to be an unnamed Israeli company.
However, despite Apple's victory for decency, proprietry, and brand protection, as of midday Tuesday Cupertino time, all seven domain names still redirected to the decidedly NSFW website Free Naughty for Mobile.
Clearly, some DNS clean-up is still needed. ®
'iphonexxxforce.com' forced to come clean
Could've just used a hand full of tissues to get the job done
Maybe Apple WANTS the domains
Of course then they would need something like "itunes.xxx" to sell things. It could be a lucrative market.
Remember: "Jocks only think about sports, geeks only think about sex".
why so unimaginative with these domain names ??
ibone.xxx and/or imoan.xxx would pass these simple tests surely ?
