So here it goes another blog! Even though I may not get a lot of readers, one of my new years resolutions was to blog/write more.. for myself and hopefully for others to be inspired.
So I recently had the opportunity to partner with Bryan Todorovic Photography and Gemma from Gems Hair and Makeup for a head-shot photo-shoot.
I needed new head-shots for upcoming gigs and website promos & Gemma did a super fantastic job! She was on time and she listened to what I wanted and gave me a natural amazing look! I am so happy to be partnering with such a great company and excited for the future business ahead! Bryan a lifelong friend and partner photographer rocked my shots! I wanted to have some serious business shots, a few playful ones with me and my camera and for my new add on to my business, my digital and custom prints.
When I got back some of my shots I was shocked… have I gained that much weight? While the photos and makeup were amazing, … when I saw what I looked like,. I was filled with lots of negative emotion of my weight.
You see, I have not been very happy with my weight lately and its no ones fault but myself. Working crazy hours in retail and then owning a business on the side really takes a toile. But, that's what I wanted right? I wanted my business to flourish, to be noticed, to essentially " make it" in this ever changing and competitive market. Why cant I have everything? Healthy lifestyle amazing job, time for everyone and myself? It seems as if I have to make a choice and choose between seeing people and going out, my health or my business… I shouldn't have to sacrifice my health just so I can have a successful business.
So here I am 148 pounds later blogging about my weight and eating a bowl of ice-cream listening to boys to men … have I hit rock bottom? The answer is no… I have an amazing husband, family friends.. so what if I have some love handles? … nothing that Photoshop cant fix! I kid I kid! But seriously, I need to take care of my health for sure and I am aware that something went wrong while building my business. My business isn't everything and I need to step back and take care of myself first and foremost. I need to spend more time with my little family and I need to do more things for myself… ultimately your business will grow when you grow .. but if you are stuck unhappy and neglecting yourself, your business wont grow either…
So now that I have bored you with my life I am here to tell you if you have a business or you are thinking about starting a business DO NOT NEGLECT OR CHOOSE to ignore something else to make room for your business. You shouldn't have to choose one or the other. For a business to grow you must adapt and create a whole new area for it and make sure you have balance… of course I am not perfect. Who would want to be? But I need to learn to love myself and if my insides are not reflecting my outsides then I cant be my true and my amazing self. Although I am unhappy about my weight, I can change that and be more proactive.. The beauty of owning your own business and being your own boss is you are able to say no and make time for yourself. Ultimately you need to love yourself and have faith in yourself. If you are your number one fan then others will want to join the amazing that is you. But you must love yourself first… when you have a buisness you are selling yourself and want others to enjoy your product as much as you love making it… so my advice? LOVE YOURSELF, LOVE HANLES AND ALL!
Next week I will be exploring the first stages of starting your own business and the steps I took to start it <3
Love always your friendly neighbourhood Allyson lady

She is a blogger, free-lance writer, aspiring photographer and now a designer. When I spoke to Alexa about her designs I knew it was going to go places. This is no ordinary skirt. This skirt represents everything that makes us who we are, our goals, our aspirations, our dreams.

by Charles Howard, University Chaplain, University of Pennsylvania
In 2009 our Baccalaureate speaker—Dr. Kirk Byron Jones, author of the popular book Rest in the Storm—spoke to our graduating class on the subject "Daring to rest."1 His remarks were geared towards young women and men preparing to enter into a myriad of professional fields and graduate study, daring them to balance their hard work with "hard rest."
And yet, his words should not only be heeded by students and young professionals. Those who have taught and teach these students may also benefit from a gentle reminder to pause, rest, and take care of themselves.
The life of a professor, while bringing much honor and a great many joys, can also be very stressful and challenging. Teaching and doing research places high demands on professors in ways that many may not realize. The hours of course preparation, writing lesson plans, long days and nights in the lab doing one's own research on top of supervising research assistants, grading papers, meeting with advisees, writing articles and book projects, lecturing, committee meetings, and off campus projects and collaborations can all contribute to some very challenging days. For many academics, the day-to-day is in addition to the stress of being up for tenure or waiting for grant applications—not to mention the realities of navigating our personal lives including relationships with partners, raising children, care for aging parents, health concerns, and more.
Admittedly, I am hesitant in asking professors to take time for rest and self care. One might argue that the reason you are serving as a professor at a place like Penn is because of all of the hard work that you have done over the course of your career. Further, the work that you are doing is important. Your long hours are leading to breakthroughs in research, lives saved, academic fields furthered, beautiful literature and art produced, better prepared professionals, and another generation of brilliant scholars. We expect and count on you to work hard.
Yet along with working hard, here is a challenge to also take care of yourselves. At Penn we have some of the brightest minds in the world, but you are also human. So please take care of yourselves.
Firstly, I want you to be here—for a long time. I love shaking the hands of recently retired professors who worked at the University for 30 or 40 years. None of these great citizens of the University have ever told me that they wished they had worked more hours in the day. Rather they described how they balanced hard work with rich conversation over lunch at the University Club, trips around the world for both research and pleasure, enjoyable time with colleagues who became good friends, regular appointments swimming at the gym or playing tennis. Take care of yourself so that you can be here!
In addition, another reason to pay attention to self care is to model a work-life balance for your students. Professors whom students look up to hold a great deal of influence in their lives. Perhaps many of you have drawn from the examples of your past advisers, mentors, and professors as you pursue your own academic career. Your students are watching you as well. Let's strive to provide for them positive examples of healthy living and balance as they prepare for their future careers.
Finally, self care will only improve your work. The connections between a "good night's sleep" and productivity at work are much documented. Yet, self care is more than sleep. Self care looks different for each of us. For some it is exercising (we have amazing facilities and classes here through PennRec). For others, it is the pursuit of hobbies and interests like reading, dancing, music, dining out, theater, or spending time in nature. Still for others this is cultivating their inner life through religion and spirituality, meditating, or just finding quiet time with loved ones.
Self care is also seeking help when we're feeling stressed, anxious, or down. Our University's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available 24 hours a day to talk confidentially about both professional and personal challenges that anyone on our faculty or staff may have. Certainly our office as well as the campus cultural centers and hubs on campus are available (The Women's Center, Makuu Black Cultural Center, The LGBT Center, La Casa Latina, The Greenfield Intercultural Center, and The Pan-Asian American Cultural House). Maybe it's a trusted colleague who is the best person to talk to. Whoever it is, during those moments of overwhelming frustration, or anxiety, you don't have to endure them alone.
There is much about Penn that is amazing and at the very top of that list is our world-class faculty. There is no Penn without you. You all take care of Penn so well, make sure that you also take care of yourselves.

Career horoscopes: July 15 – July 21
You can expect life to return to normal when Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, turns retrograde on July 17. This is the cosmic energy responsible for all of those surprise shake-ups and unexpected plot twists that you've had to deal with since March. Uranus retrograde will bring a decrease in volatility, an increase in stability and a willingness on colleagues' parts to behave themselves and work together. But do things ever really return to normal after Uranus has wreaked havoc? Nope. Finding out what has changed and how this impacts your future will be the story of the next five months.
The new normal
You can expect life to return to normal when Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, turns retrograde on July 17. This is the cosmic energy responsible for all of those surprise shake-ups and unexpected plot twists that you've had to deal with since March. Uranus retrograde will bring a decrease in volatility, an increase in stability and a willingness on colleagues' parts to behave themselves and work together. But do things ever really return to normal after Uranus has wreaked havoc? Nope. Finding out what has changed and how this impacts your future will be the story of the next five months.
ARIES (March 20 – April 18)
Mars in a watery sign like Cancer can make you feel like someone's trying to douse your fire. This can lead you to overcompensate at work. You might become more challenging, competitive or just plain loud. You don't want anyone to snuff you out, but water energy says that you need to go with the flow now. Instead of trying to stand out, try mixing and merging your efforts with those around you. You will accomplish more as a team player than you will on your own.
TAURUS (April 19 – May 19)
There's nothing defeatist about accepting where you are at work. If anything, this would remove a lot of pressure you've been putting on yourself to "succeed." Step back and ask yourself if you're happy at work or if you truly want to push on to the next level. If you're happy where you are, then leave well enough alone. Clawing your way to the top of the ladder isn't the only sign of success, you know. Make yourself the best at what you do, and you will make yourself indispensable.
GEMINI (May 20 – June 19)
You're probably asking yourself why you keep trying to make a deal work. Is it pride? Stubbornness? A fixation on winning no matter what? The answer could be... none of the above. The grand trine in water shows that you are onto something even if you can't explain it. Water is the element of the unconscious, and you can't shake this feeling that somehow, this deal of yours will pan out in the end. And it will. You should experience a breakthrough on the 19th or the 22nd.
CANCER (June 20 – July 21)
This is an empowering time for you. It's not every day that you have four planets traveling through your zodiac sign, so you will want to paint on a broad canvas and with bold strokes. It's a good time to express your opinions and to make suggestions, because co-workers are especially receptive. You won't have to work so hard to sell them on your ideas. Word of mouth has a wide ripple effect now, so don't be surprised if a higher-up asks to meet with you.
LEO (July 22 – Aug. 21)
It will be dispiriting to see the progress you worked so hard for come to a halt on the 17th. Unfortunately, the current is against you, and you will lose some of the ground you gained at work. It's always wise to go with the flow when water energy is this strong because as a fire sign, you won't be able to combat it. But this doesn't mean that all is lost. Plans and proposals that get a deaf ear now will receive a warm reception in December.
VIRGO (Aug. 22 – Sept. 21)
Developments at work this week won't be to your liking, but they could have been a lot worse. Uranus' reverse direction on July 17 means that you will have to live with that pay freeze, salary cut or delayed promotion for a while longer, and this will impact your timetable for managing finances. Thankfully, the trinity of water-sign energy shows that you can do some reshuffling of commitments and priorities. Nobody's really in a position to take a hard line with anyone these days, and that will surely work to your benefit.
LIBRA (Sept. 22 – Oct. 21)
You were born under the HR sign of the zodiac. Even if you don't work in human resources, you're often asked to intervene when there's a breakdown in communication at work. This is the predicament you'll find yourself in this week when you have to lay down the law with recalcitrant types. You aren't unsympathetic; however, they just can't be acting out on the job. Once they get this into their heads (probably by Friday), then you can sit down and have a reasonable discussion about what needs to change.
SCORPIO (Oct. 22 – Nov. 20)
Being in demand is demanding, as you'll see when Jupiter forms a trine to Saturn on Wednesday followed by Mars forming a trine to Saturn on Friday. Whatever is big (like a sales order) gets bigger (as in 10 sales orders). It's overwhelming — and you may feel like you've taken on more than you can handle — but focus on specific tasks and you'll find a way to manage. You are engaged in a serious growth cycle right now, which means you'll have to work faster to keep pace with developments.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21 – Dec. 20)
You have to go where the money is. Expenses are up, cost-of-living raises are down and you need to be bringing home more bacon than you have been. Thankfully, there are jobs out there that you are supremely qualified for, and they're yours for the asking. However, that could mean relocating or changing career paths altogether. That's good news if you're feeling dissatisfied at work but not-so-good news if you're doing something that you believe in or if you enjoy the people whom you see every day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 – Jan. 18)
It looks like you will be finally working out your differences with a client or boss. For someone who lives with such a strong fear of rejection, it's amazing how you will stick to your guns — even if you risk a parting of the ways. Thankfully, planetary trines on July 17 and July 19 show you re-establishing common ground. There's no disputing you are highly valued, but you do need to find ways to welcome this person's input — even if that means trying things her way for a while.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 19 – Feb. 17)
There's good news about money this week, as Jupiter — the planet of good fortune — moves into the third point of a cosmic triangle that it shares with Saturn and Neptune on July 17. You can expect to receive a raise, a promotion or a job offer for a new and lucrative position. Now there may still be some details to work out (Mercury doesn't come out of retrograde until the 20th), but no worries. These are technical details at best. Everything should fit snugly into place by Aug. 6.
PISCES (Feb. 18 – March 19)
You're a fount of creativity this week as your mind will be full of ideas and images. You may come across to people as preoccupied because your dream life is spilling over into your waking world. Anything that you write, compose, film or paint will carry this very special magic as long as you produce a tangible product. If the arts aren't your thing, then this energy will transform any project or enterprise that you're working on into an absolute success. The time to harness this energy is now.

Happy Continue-The-Courtship Night!
One of the cool things about being married: you can make it any way you want it.
I know there are a few months in the year where there are no federal holidays. Why not make up your own?
For tonight's date idea, create your own national holiday as husband and wife.
Pick a month in the year to celebrate that day. Plan together what you
want it to be about. It could be National Sock Day, or national
Traditional Marriage Day, or National Pizza Day, National Sleep-In Day,
or Finnish History Day - or whatever ancestral ethnicity you most
identify with, or something to reflect on a significant religious event
like the Second Coming. You decide!
Write down together what
day it will be. Will you take time off? How will it be celebrated? What
kinds of foods will you celebrate with? Will there be costumes?
Decorations? Music? Songs? Special kinds of worship? Gift exchange?
Service project? Plan whatever you want.
Special family traditions are an excellent way to tie you closer together.
Happy Dating!

My new photo and why it's important
A few days ago I confessed that I have real trouble with posing for a photo and asked for your help. Boy, was I grateful for your response! A number of you offered suggestions that I'd never heard before. Now I'm actually looking forward to the next time I get my picture taken.
I also asked y'all to tell me which of the acceptable photos you liked best. There was one clear winner of that poll. And then, much to my delight, my friend Amanda Padgett of Everyday Elements offered to edit that photo for me. This woman knows her stuff, and she loves to teach people how to use their cameras well and how to edit their photos. Check out her website here.
So here's my new photo:
So why is this photo so important? Because this is a big year for me. Drum roll, please.
This year--2013--I will be 50 years old.
Half a century.
The other day a young friend told me that 50 is the new 40. I don't know about that, but I do know that I want to live this year with everything I've got. I've spent too much time in the past 50 years concerning myself with what I didn't have or what other people have. This year I want to learn in a new way to be confident that God loves me and that I have a special place in His great universe.
What about you? Is there something special about this year for you? I'd love to hear about it!

You are beautifu!--inside and out. This year? Well, you know . . . it's a 50 kind of year for me too. Maybe you can help me come to grips with it, because I'm not doing such a great job now. :)

"50" looks good on you sweet Richella. You are beautiful. And you radiate the love of Jesus!
I never had a hard time with any birthday until I turned 60...and it was kind of hard for me. But now I am 62, and very content with it.
This year I would like to organize my home and clean out some of the clutter. It is amazing how much stuff a person can accumulate in 6 years! (It will be 6 yrs. this Feb. since we closed on our new home.)
"Simplify"...that's a good word. Not just for my home...but for the things that crowd out the peace that I want...and the relationship, and closeness to my Lord.
Self gets in the way too often. Less of me..and more of Jesus! That's a goal I'd like to reach.
Love, Linda

You look great, I never would guess you are turning 50! The photo looks great! I hate having my picture taken, but at times it's necessary. This year I have decided to let my hair go grey. I know it's radical, scripture says grey hair is a sign of wisdom, we shall see!

You are beautiful on the outside but most important, you are stunning on the inside. Life can change our "looks" in a heartbeat. How well I know that with my cancer, but life can never change our beauty on the inside.

As you know I'm 50 this year too, but not until October. I think you look amazing, and I love your photo. Are you having it framed? Any plans for a big party. what month is your birthday.
I hope this year is a wonderful year for you with many blessings and good health.

I turn 50 next month and I feel kind of scared about it. Being "49" sounds okay, but 50 is such a big step! I don't feel almost 50. Anyway, you look great!

Beautiful photo! I'm turning 51 in a couple weeks and I have to say that number is making me a feel hesitant about telling anyone my age. I can almost hear the gasps when I say it. You look amazing! Have a wonderful year!

You are a beautiful lady and probably have the personality to go with it! I will be 70 this year (I believe it's the new 60 or even 50!), and we will also be celebrating our 50th anniversary this year. I find as I get older, my desire is to learn more about God, and I am now studying the Names of God - since someday I will go to live with Him in heaven. "Keep On Keeping On!" and "Keep Looking UP!" are mottos I live by. Thanks for sharing your faith!
- January 12, 2013 at 2:08 PM
You are a beautiful young woman (I'm 10 years older than you)and from reading your blog I believe you're as beautiful on the inside-which is what really matters. I read a quote the other day by Martin Buxbaum. It reads, "Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty, they merely move it from their faces into their hearts." I pray by God's grace I am becoming one of those people.
Blessings, Betsy

Buzz Cut:
• Study: ObamaCare will boost, not reduce emergency room visits
• Weed Wars: All about the green
• Aiken for a House seat?
• Did you remember to get diapers?
DEMS STAKE 2104 SURVIVAL ON CLASS STRIFE - ObamaCare is going to cost Democrats dearly in this year's midterm elections. And if early warnings about higher costs, less access to care and disrupted coverage for the 85 percent of Americans who were covered before the law prove true, there may be little anyone can do to avoid another landslide defeat for the blue team. But while Republicans are readying themselves for majority status, Democrats know that the only number that matters is five. If Democrats can limit Republican gains in the Senate to five or less, nothing changes in Washington. So while the GOP is thinking big, Democrats are thinking small, small, small. While Republicans are hoping to ride a national tide, Democrats are hoping to just protect half of the 10 most vulnerable seats on their side of the aisle. Their strategy: to focus on an issue that has animated the activist base of the party for generations: The gap between rich and poor. It may not be nearly as important as ObamaCare, but President Obama and Harry Reid don't need it to be. They just need to squeeze out enough base voters to preserve a Senate majority.
[Peter Beinart - Democrats in 2014: The Party of John Edwards "The North Carolinian laid the groundwork for Bill de Blasio's mayoral run and Barack Obama's 2014 agenda, but don't expect his name to come up."]
Limiting losses - There may be no saving red state Democrats like Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark. or Mark Begich, D-Alaska. But a relentless attack on income inequality might offer something for Democrats in states with large urban centers or with strong populist or union sentiments: Michigan, Iowa, West Virginia, North Carolina and even South Dakota come to mind. So while Republicans are girding for what may be the most brutal rounds of primary fighting yet, Democrats are building their bases and uniting the party around "eat the rich" politics. It worked for Obama in 2012, and if it just works a little bit in 2014 it might be enough to save the day. If Democrats do it right, a few thousand votes in a few races could mean preserving the president's agenda and keeping the health law lurching forward.
Combo platter: Welfare and wages - Republicans who dismiss this thinking will do so at their own peril. Senate majority leader Harry Reid will start the barrage on Monday with a call to restore federal benefits to those who have exhausted their state unemployment insurance. And soon thereafter, expect a strong push on raising the federal minimum wage, a popular policy offering. Republicans decried "class warfare" in 2012, but ended up getting clobbered anyway. The midterm electorate will be different, but just a few races on the bubble could change the arc of history this year. Reid will not be shy about discovering his inner Bill de Blasio. And for Obama, who has made income redistribution the chief aim of his presidency, this is exactly where he wants to be. The Democratic dream scenario: House Republicans split on welfare and wage issues amid the added pressures of the debt-limit fight set to begin one month hence. Even if Democrats can't squeeze out a government shutdown, they can get weeks of talking points, especially from an establishment press that is quite keen on the subject.
STUDY: OBAMACARE WILL BOOST, NOT REDUCE EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS - While the Obama administration claims ObamaCare would reduce expensive emergency room visits, a new study has found otherwise. Using Oregon's 2008 Medicaid expansion as a test case, researchers discovered a 40 percent increase in ER visits by new beneficiaries of the welfare program. Many of the visits were for primary care services President Obama said the expansion would cut down on. Daily Caller has the details.
[Breitbart: "The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) estimated that in 2013 it improperly spent about $65 billion in taxpayer funds through waste, errors, and fraud, a figure that was primarily fueled by an estimated $60 billion in overpayments to Medicare and Medicaid."]
Should have known - Bloomberg's Megan McArdle considers: "Oregon suggests that insurance status isn't the main reason that people are using the ER for less severe conditions. And if you think about your own life, is that such a surprise? I have resorted to the emergency room more than once for something that I theoretically could have gotten treated by a primary care physician, and insurance was never the driving factor; I went to the ER because I was traveling far from home, because it was outside of normal business hours and I didn't have a regular doctor I could call, or because I tried to nurse along an infection that turned severe. The cure for this was not to change my insurance; it was the myriad urgent care options that are flowering across the U.S. This is true of most of the middle-class people I know. Why did we assume that the poor were any different?"
[Healthcare.gov's latest tech problem has resulted in a failure to send complete records for 18,000 W.Va., residents who have applied for Medicaid. Daily Caller has the story.]
ADMINISTRATION RESPONSE DUE TODAY ON BIRTH CONTROL CASE - Justice Sonia Sotomayor has given the Obama administration until 10 a.m. today to respond to claims that ObamaCare's requirement that employers provide insurance plans that cover contraception is an infringement of religious liberty. On New Year's Eve, Sotomayor temporarily halted the imposition of the new rule at the request of an order of nuns. – Watch Fox: Senior White House and Foreign Affairs Correspondent Wendel Goler is following the administration's response
GOP: NO SLACK ON OBAMACARE HACK ATTACK - House Republicans are warning that a recent security breech at Target should concern consumers about the security of information they've provided to the problem ridden healthare.gov. According to a memo obtained by Fox News, Republican leaders plan to take up legislation next week to tighten security requirements. Some of the proposals already under consideration would require the federal government to notify individuals if their information has been compromised by the embattled health care Web site. Fox News has more.
OREGON OBAMACARE DIRECTOR CALLS IT QUITS - With only 38,000 enrolled and a Web site that hasn't even launched, the head of Oregon's beleaguered health exchange is calling it quits. Rocky King is the second official connected to the Beaver State's ObamaCare program to resign. The state had to hire 500 people to process applications by hand and is still trying to get its Web site off the ground. Fox News has more.
Baby blues - AP reports ObamaCare's online home lacks a mechanism for consumers to easily update their policies for the birth of a child and other common life changes such as a job change, divorce, or change of address.
Thumbs down - Gallup's latest survey shows 59 percent of respondents had a negative experience with ObamaCare's exchanges in December.
WORLD OF CONFUSION - From the Daily Mail: "Hospital staff in Northern Virginia are turning away sick people on a frigid… morning because they can't determine whether their Obamacare insurance plans are in effect… 'The people in there told me that since I didn't have an insurance card, I would be billed for the whole cost of the x-ray,' [Maria Galvez] said… 'It's not fair – you know, I signed up last week like I was supposed to…' A similar situation frustrated Mary, an African-American woman small businesswoman who asked MailOnline not to publish her last name… 'I had chest pains last night, and they took me in the emergency room,' Mary said. 'They told me they were going to admit me, but when I told them I hadn't heard from my insurance company since I signed up, they changed their tune.'''
ATTORNEYS GENERAL FIGHTING OBAMACARE ALTERATIONS - Eleven Republican attorneys general are blasting President Obama for bypassing Congress for his changes to ObamaCare. In a letter to Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the attorneys general criticized the president's decision to temporarily rescind rules banning millions of insurance policies after insurance companies had already sent out cancellation notices. The group called the executive maneuvers "flatly illegal under federal constitutional and statutory law." The letter was written by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrissey and signed by his counterparts in Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia, Fox News has more.
FOX NEWS SUNDAY: ROMNEY ON OBAMACARE, OLYMPICS - Host Chris Wallace discusses the rollout of ObamaCare with former Massachusetts's governor and 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Plus, amid mounting security concerns for the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, Romney will also share his experience in leading the 2002 games in Salt Lake City, Utah in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. "Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace" airs at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. ET on Fox News. Check local listings for air times in your area.
DR. K'S PRESCRIPTION: NO BAILOUTS FOR INSURERS - Columnist Charles Krauthammer argues in favor of a Republican measure to prevent bailouts for insurance companies in Stop the bailout — now. "Do you really think vulnerable Democrats up for reelection will vote for a bailout? And who better to slay Obamacare than a Democratic Senate — liberalism repudiating its most important creation of the last 50 years. Want to be even bolder? Attach the anti-bailout bill to the debt ceiling. That and nothing else. Dare the president to stand up and say: 'I'm willing to let the country default in order to preserve a massive bailout for insurance companies.'''
NSA'S SUPER SLEUTHING COMPUTER - The National Security Agency is developing a computer powerful enough to penetrate most encryption types, according to documents obtained by WaPo from leaker Edward Snowden. The documents reveal the quantum computer project is part of a $79.7 million research program titled "Penetrating Hard Targets." Such a system would enable the agency to crack some of the strongest security measures, granting access to encrypted e-mails and secure financial transactions. Fox News has more.
ISLAMISTS DEADLY SURGE IN IRAQ - Reports of another deadly car bombing north of Baghdad reveal a resurgence of al-Qaeda aligned fighters in Iraq. Violence levels soared in 2013, with death tolls double than what it has been in recent years. –Watch Fox: Chief Intelligence Correspondent Catherine Herridge examines the rise of al-Qaeda in Iraq and how violence is increasing to levels not seen before the U.S. troop surge in 2007.
WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE...Liberal columnist Reid Cherlin blasts progressive populists for their overuse of allusions to Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" to rail against income inequality. "The main thing that bothers me, apart from one of my favorite books being made into a public enemy, is that the popular usage is a misappropriation of the title's wording… A Tale of Two Cities, for all of its cartoonishness, is satisfyingly agnostic, even torn, in its treatment of the idea of vengeance on the rich… It would strain credibility to liken the One Percent—a term he [New York Mayor Bill de Blasio] used in his remarks—to the abusive French aristocracy, just as it would strain credibility to liken a tax increase to guillotinings in the public square."

RADEL BACK, BUT FOR HOW LONG? - Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla., plans to return to Washington next week after a month in rehab.

Values are Vital PAC, founded by supporters of Republican state lawmaker Paige Kreegel, benefited from two half-million dollar donations in Dec. from Las Vegas attorney Martin Burns and Miami retiree Ronald Firman. WaPo has more.
SINK SOARS IN CASH RACE - Failed 2010 Florida Democratic gubernatorial nominee and former state chief financial officer Alex Sink is sitting on over $1 million in donations as her Republican opponents are just two weeks away from their primary. Lobbyist and former staffer for the late Rep. Bill Young, R-Fla., David Jolly, leads the GOP field with $388,450 raised. State Rep. Kathleen Peters raised only $169,000 in what has turned into a contentious primary. Young's widow backs Jolly while her son supports Peters.

IOWA SECRETARY OF STATE SIGNALS HOUSE RUN - Iowa's Republican Secretary of State Matt Schultz is showing signs he is moving towards a run for the House seat held by retiring Rep. Tom Latham, R-Iowa.

IDOL STAR EYEING TAR HEEL HOUSE SEAT - Democratic sources tell the Washington Blade Clay Aiken is actively pursuing a Congressional bid against Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-N.C. The American Idol runner-up, whose political activity has mostly focused on gay issues, has reportedly made calls to gauge support and has been in talks with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

#mediabuzz: SILLY SEASON - Howard Kurtz and guests will be talking about MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry and her swipe at the Romney family, Robin Roberts revealing her sexual preference, and the controversy around the New York Time's coverage of the 2012 raid on the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya.

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT'S SOCIAL MEDIA SPENDING SPLURGE - The Justice Department has spent over $500,000 to increase its online brand awareness. The Washington Free Beacon reports, the DOJ awarded the hefty contract on Christmas Eve to construct an enhanced LinkedIn profile to reach the networking site's 250 million users through its "Recruiter" service.

GOLDEN STATE COURT RULING STIRS IMMIGRATION FEUD - A unanimous decision by California's Supreme Court is clearing the way for illegal immigrants to practice law. The ruling handed down Thursday, in the case of Mexican immigrant Sergio Garcia, upholds a new state law that permits the high court to allow qualified applicants into the state bar, despite their immigration status. The case pitted the Obama administration, who opposed Garcia's licensure, against state officials who supported him. A 1996 Federal law bars people who are in the U.S. illegally from receiving professional licenses from government agencies or with the use of public money, unless state lawmakers vote otherwise. Fox News has more.—Watch Fox: Chief Congressional Correspondent Mike Emanuel considers the implications the case has in the ongoing fight for immigration reform.
CLIP MAKER FLEES COLORADO GUN LAWS - One of the nation's largest producers of ammunition magazines is closing up shop in Colorado over its strict new gun laws. Magpul Industries is moving its production, distribution and shipping operations from Erie, Colo. to Cheyenne, Wyo. Magpul is eyeing north-central Texas for its headquarters as Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas is welcoming them with open arms, promising no unwarranted government intrusion into the business. The company is making good on its vow to leave the Centennial State after the Democratic controlled legislature passed a measure banning the sale of gun magazines with more than 15 rounds. AP has more.
BROOKS: WEED WORKED OUT FOR ME, BUT BAN IT ANYWAY - Columnist David Brooks used to enjoy blazing up, but then quit smoking pot because it made him feel like a loser. He thinks governments should encourage others to follow his personal progress by keeping weed illegal. "I'd say that in healthy societies government wants to subtly tip the scale to favor temperate, prudent, self-governing citizenship. In those societies, government subtly encourages the highest pleasures, like enjoying the arts or being in nature, and discourages lesser pleasures, like being stoned. In legalizing weed, citizens of Colorado are, indeed, enhancing individual freedom. But they are also nurturing a moral ecology in which it is a bit harder to be the sort of person most of us want to be."
["Do those same people argue for freedom of choice when someone says 'I want to buy a gun, I want to buy an UZI…' – you know, let's be consistent with this thing." –Dr. Ben Carson, "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren"]
All about the green - The big test for whether legal pot is here to stay will center on profitability. As has been the case with gambling, will states and investors see enough profits from the newly condoned vice to offset the social ills associated with the practice? In Maryland, for example, a woman is facing criminal charges for leaving her 4-year-old daughter in a car on New Year's Eve for more than eight hours while the mom gambled in a state-chartered casino. But Maryland raked in $290 million last year from casinos, funds on which the cash-strapped state is now utterly dependent. The government encouraging potentially destructive behaviors is not new. The question for proponents of recreational marijuana: Can it make enough money to be deemed worth the costs, real or perceived. Investors seem to think that there's reason to think there's hope for dope: Time points out that as markets overall have been on the downbeat, pot-related stocks have been soaring.
DOGS EAT NORTH KOREANS - New details are emerging in the execution of Jang Song Thaek. The Straits Times reports Kim Jong-Un ordered his uncle to be stripped and thrown into a cage with five of his closest aides. "Then 120 hounds, starved for three days, were allowed to prey on them until they were completely eaten up. This is called 'quan jue', or execution by dogs."
BECAUSE EATING FOX MEAT WOULD JUST BE GRODY - Wal-Mart is recalling donkey meat being sold at is stores in China, as a result of tests revealing the product contained the DNA of other animals. The retail giant is offering reimburse customers who purchased the bad "Five Spice" donkey meat and is helping authorities investigate its Chinese supplier. The Shandong Food and Drug Administration claims product contained fox meat. The BBC has more.
DID YOU REMEMBER TO GET DIAPERS? - When an unidentified man entered a Wal-Mart in Melbourne, Fla., he left his wife and three children in the car. Upon his return he found his wife and four children in the car. Police tell Orlando's News 13 "the man was only in the store a few minutes when he walked outside, saw his children frantically yelling for him to hurry to the car." Emergency crews arrived after the woman had given birth in the vehicle, but mother and baby were deemed to be doing fine. The family was rewarded by the store with Wal-Mart with gift cards and baby-related items.
AND NOW A WORD FROM CHARLES…."The great irony here is that [President Obama] has decided he's going to dedicate himself and the rest of his time in office to fighting inequality. He has created the greatest inequality because of zero interest rates, because the Fed has put a trillion dollars which had to go into higher assets, meaning the market. It's the rich have gotten richer and it's left everyone else behind. And that's why you get the mass discontent in the sense of the economy not improving. He is the cause and now he's going to redeem us from the misery to which he has contributed."—Charles Krauthammer on "Special Report with Bret Baier"

Brown Eyed Girls' Jea Reveals Her Abs
Brown Eyed Girls' Jea recently revealed a picture of her perfect abs in the desert.
On May 4 the singer posted on her twitter, "I am in the desert right now," along with a photo. In the revealed photo, the singer is standing under the scorching desert sun wearing skinny jeans and a white knit shirt. We can see the clear blue skies and bright sunlight in the background.
But what caught the attention of netizens was the singer's smooth yet firm-looking stomach.They flooded the singer with a variety of comments such as, "You are so pretty and cute," "I heard that Jea was laying off red meat for awhile. Could her abs be the result of her hard work?" and "Seeing how she is taking good care of her body, does this mean that Brown Eyed Girls will be releasing a new album soon?"
Last month, Jea also revealed that she had plans to start her solo activities soon, creating a lot of anticipation from fans.
Check out the singer's photo below!
