The Weinstein Co. is no stranger to take-no-prisoners movie marketing campaigns. The independent studio's promotional efforts are legendary in Hollywood, where it has pulled out all the stops to land Oscar wins for such films as "The Artist" and "The King's Speech," racking up big box-office for any number of little films in the process.
So when it came to marketing the drama "Fruitvale Station," the Weinstein Co. did what it does best: Ride the zeitgeist.
At a moment of national reckoning, when emotional demonstrations are being staged across the country externalizing the debate about race and equality in 21st century America, the studio is employing a marketing campaign predicated on generating a dialogue about social injustice to give the film a promo push.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
The winner of the Sundance Film Festival's grand jury prize this year, "Fruitvale Station" arrived in theaters in limited release last week just hours before George Zimmerman was acquitted on second-degree murder and manslaughter charges for the shooting of unarmed African American teenager Trayvon Martin. The drama chronicles the last day in the life of Oscar Grant III, an African American Oakland resident who was was shot and killed by a transit policeman who mistakenly reached for his gun instead of a taser on New Year's Eve 2009. Grant was also unarmed.
On Sunday, Erik Lomis, the studio's head of theatrical distribution, told The Times that the Weinstein Co. was not looking to cash in on the synergy between real-life and on-screen events. "It's not going to hurt us – but we're not saying, 'If you're upset about the Zimmerman case, go see this," Lomis said.
The Weinstein Co.'s Instagram account, however, tells a different story. Accompanying an image from the film -- four young African American characters being detained by a white police officer -- a tagline reads: "Make a difference by engaging in meaningful discussions about how we treat one another and how we can overcome prejudice. #IAMFRUITVALESTATION"
Another Instagram features co-star Octavia Spencer who is quoted as saying, "Being a part of Fruitvale Station, you really want to be the impetus of much needed discourse about our humanity and how we interact with each other."
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
The film's website highlight's the Weinstein Co.'s "I am__" campaign which encourages visitors to share stories of overcoming acts of prejudice, bullying, social injustice or mistreatment and submit photos and artworks representing those experiences. The campaign is "an opportunity to create an expressive, nonjudgmental community for love, healing and equality," the website explains.
In limited release in seven cities since July 12 (before it expands to 18 new cities Friday and platforms across the country later this month), "Fruitvale Station" got off to a strong start last weekend, claiming the third-highest opening of the year for a film in limited release. To date, the micro-budgeted movie has tallied $430,000 at the box office.
On Saturday in Los Angeles, "Fruitvale Station" star Michael B. Jordan told a screening audience he was devastated by the ruling and considered skipping the screening out of grief and rage.
"My heart hurts so bad right now," he said. "I wasn't going to come after I found out about George Zimmerman getting acquitted. It broke me up. That's why I think this film means so much, because it keeps happening again and again. [We must] learn how to treat each other better and stop judging one another just because we're different. It's not just a black-and-white thing. It's a people thing."
On Tuesday, Jordan and director Ryan Coogler appeared on "The Tavis Smiley Show," where they discussed how the timing of "Fruitvale Station's" release was a "gift" in its ability to give context to the predicament in which Trayvon Martin found himself.
"Fruitvale Station" is hardly the first feature film to bump up against real-life events that somehow echo on-screen action. In 2007, the release of Ben Affleck's directorial debut "Gone Baby Gone" – about a Boston cop investigating the abduction of a 4-year old girl -- was pushed back a year out of sensitivity to parallels with a case making news at the time: the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, a British 3-year old who disappeared while on vacation with her family in Portugal. Likewise, the 2002 thriller "Phone Booth" provided an eerie art-immitating-life counterpart to real events. The film -- which follows a man (Colin Farrell) who enters a telephone booth, is told he's in a sniper's sights and will be killed if he exits – arrived in theaters at a time when an unknown sniper was terrorizing the Washington area, killing 10 people and injuring three in a spate of unprovoked shootings.
On Saturday, while protesters took to the streets in nearby Oakland to protest Zimmerman's acquittal, Weinstein Co. emissaries handed out business cards to moviegoers leaving a screening of "Fruitvale Station" at San Francisco's AMC Metreon 16.
On one side was a photo still from "Fruitvale Station" of Jordan and actress Ariana Neal (who plays his daughter in the film) and on the other display copy read: "Commit to end social injustice in the name of Oscar Grant," directing viewers to the movie's website.

Is Paul McCartney Collaborating With Kanye West?by Maggie Malach | PopCrush
Hold on to your headphones, PopCrushers! Two of music's biggest names — Paul McCartney and Kanye West — might be collaborating.
The New York Post's Page Six reports that the Beatle and the rapper are secretly recording together. The publication claims that sources confirmed the duo have been quietly collaborating on numerous tracks together.
Page Six even gives the reported name of one of the tracks: 'Piss on My Grave.' Kim Kardashian was reportedly overheard telling friends that she's surprised by the song's provocative title.
Kanye's rep declined to comment to Page Six.
Although the pairing initially seems unexpected, both Kanye and Paul are fans of the other's work. In October 2013, the Beatle talked with Bang & Olufsen's The Living Room Tour about seeing Kanye perform. Earlier this month, a source told the Sun that Kanye "has been tapping Macca up for a while about working together" (quote via the Mirror).
We won't venture to guess what a Paul McCartney/Kanye West collaboration would sound like, but it's pretty safe to assume it would be epic!

Grim news from the City of Death: 41% of all NYC pregnancies end in abortion. Read Ed Morrissey for some qualifications on the numbers and watch the brief embedded video, in which we learn that Planned Parenthood is "not happy" about the numbers (really?), wants more "education," and claims "abstinence by itself is proven to be ineffective." (Really?)
Archbishop Dolan cuts through the blather:
My Lord, what have we done the last thirty years? There's candy bowls on people's desks with condoms, they're dropping 'em from airplanes, and yet nothing seems to improve. So maybe we're on the wrong track here.
One of the biggest questions: Where is the outrage in the black community? For blacks, almost 60% of NYC pregnancies end in abortion. Jill Stanek reports:
New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, also president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, will join Alveda King and other African-American leaders on January 10 for a rally spotlighting New York City's ghastly abortion rate, particularly among blacks. The group will also speak out against a NYC Council bill that seeks to harass pregnancy care centers.
I have a dream. Wouldn't it be wonderful if more respected black leaders and celebrities would join the fight against this suicidal/genocidal nightmare? Imagine the good that might be done by President Obama if he believed in the sanctity of life. Imagine a pro-life Michelle Obama, fighting for the survival of black babies and promoting the black family instead of haranguing us about childhood obesity. Imagine the all-powerful Oprah taking on this cause.
Back to reality. Archbishop Dolan also said:
The Statue of Liberty should be the symbol of this city, not the grim reaper.
Hat tip to Cubachi, who notes that 30% of the aborted babies were scraped and suctioned from the wombs of women in their 30's and 40's. Are these the same wanna-be mommies who later portray themselves as martyrs because they can't have children the old fashioned way, whether because of their advanced age or because of the abuse their reproductive systems have suffered from abortions, contraceptives, and STDs? Babies are viewed by a heck of a lot of women as a commodity. Don't want one right now? Toss it. Feel entitled to one later? Pursue brave new procedures and discard the inconvenient extras.
In other abortion news, Rep. Mike Pence has introduced the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act. His statement:
It is morally wrong to end an unborn human life by abortion. It is also morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to promote abortion at home or abroad.
Last year, Planned Parenthood received more than $363 million in revenue from government grants and contracts. During that same time, they performed an unprecedented 324,008 abortions.
The largest abortion provider in America should not also be the largest recipient of federal funding under Title X.
The Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act will prevent any family planning funds under Title X from going to Planned Parenthood or other organizations that perform abortions. It will ensure that abortion providers are not being subsidized with federal tax dollars.
Jill Stanek has more.

Argument preview: Recovery for injured railroad employees
On March 28, in CSX Transportation v. McBride, the Court will hear oral argument regarding whether a railroad employee injured on the job must show that his employer's negligence was the proximate cause of the injury to recover under the Federal Employers' Liability Act, or whether it is enough to show that the employer's negligence played some part in the injury. Jayne Zanglein, who teaches business law at Western Carolina University, and Amanda Bienhaus, who is a senior business administration and law student from Western Carolina, preview the case for the American Bar Association's PREVIEW of U.S. Supreme Court Cases; the ABA has generously agreed to share some of its previews "" which are authored by practitioners and scholars in the field "" with SCOTUSblog. You can read the preview by Professor Zanglein and Ms. Bienhaus here; PREVIEW's website is here.

How do I allow visitors on my site to share my photos, on their Facebook wall/news feed?
I see that there is a "share" or "like" option from Facebook but that seems to share the whole page.
I would like to have it so that each picture has a small Facebook icon next to it and when they click it, that specific image only is added to their Facebook news feed/wall.
My site is in ASP.NET 3.5 using C#. I can develop in C# so if that is a route to what I am trying to achieve that is fine.
I did see this question and answer: How to post news feed in facebook from my site
Is this still the correct way to do this? Are there any examples of this?

How the NRA won
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Rep. Gabby Giffords took on gun reform with the best of modern campaign tactics – spend millions on new groups, air slick TV ads and tap into social media.
The gun lobby dusted off the playbook it's used since the 1980s: yield no ground in negotiations, focus on a few targeted senators, galvanize 4 million NRA members with direct mail, and hold up the NRA scorecard as a thinly veiled threat ahead of the 2014 midterms.
Story Continued Below
The winner: the NRA's playbook.
When the Senate voted down a bipartisan bill to expand background checks Wednesday, it was a stark reminder that big money groups are still no match for the NRA's ability to get what it wants by playing retail politics — or delivering payback.
( PHOTOS: Politicians with guns)
"They knew the key targets, got the right people to talk to them… and the reality is no matter how much [President Barack] Obama said they lied, it's their political power," said a lobbyist familiar with their effort.
"The power of the [NRA] scorecard is still huge," this lobbyist added. "Some people are going to have trouble getting reelected because of what they did."
Obama himself acknowledged the NRA's power in an emotional, sometimes angry, speech following the Senate vote.
( Also on POLITICO: Gun debate triggered media bias)
"It came down to politics the worry that that vocal minority of gun owners would come after them in future elections. They worried that the gun lobby would spend a lot of money and paint them as anti-Second Amendment," Obama said.
"And obviously, a lot of Republicans had that fear, but Democrats had that fear, too. And so they caved to the pressure, and they started looking for an excuse - any excuse - to vote 'no.'"
Obama has now learned what other presidents had to learn as well — the NRA controls gun politics on Capitol Hill and will continue to do so until dethroned. The bill put forth by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) wasn't close to what gun control advocates wanted, but it still went down in defeat.
( Also on POLITICO: Reid: 'Pause and freeze' on guns)
There was a brief moment – immediately after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting – when it looked like it might be different this time. The scope of the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children dead. The president took to the bully pulpit. Giffords, herself a victim of gun violence, joined the cause. Bloomberg, a multi-billionaire who passionately backs more gun regulation, put up millions to push reform.

Searching For Chiropractic Clinics Near You?
If you frequently deal with back pains, neck pains, spine, and sports injuries, you might be searching for the best chiropractic clinics near Gillham Arkansas. Chiropractic care is considered a holistic and alternative treatment option that triggers the body's natural healing abilities. It is a non-invasive treatment option where millions of Americans are benefiting at the moment. The approach is shown to treat more than a dozen of different conditions. One of the best things about chiropractic care is that the method is 100% drug-free and helps heal your body naturally. The treatment option is effective in dealing with headaches, back pains, ear infections, neck pains, joint pains, arthritis, bowel irregularities, blood pressure, asthma, improved mental clarity, and a host of other conditions. With hundreds of chiropractic clinics near Gillham, one should be cautious when selecting the best practitioner in the area. Here are important tips to consider when choosing the best chiropractic clinics nearby your location.
Despite the popularity of the treatment method, there are many misconceptions about the field of chiropractic care. Many patients are still confused when it comes to how the practice works and how chiropractic professionals are trained. In fact, most of the chiropractic programs incorporate an entire year of Ph.D.-level training in different subjects. Hence, a chiropractic doctor is a highly skilled and trained individual out there. Like with all other professions out there, there are many quacks operating in this industry too. That is why it is important that you perform extensive research before deciding to work with the right chiropractic doctor in your Gillham area. Your homework is essential to choosing the best candidate for the job.
Chiropractic Treatment Techniques
Back pain sufferers know only too well that relief is not easy to find especially when the pain is concentrated in the lower back.
Lower back pain is a problem a lot of people share and just don't know what to do about it. The spine is the conduit to many of our bodily systems like the endocrine system and the neurological system and when it is in pain that challenges the body in many ways.
Our first instance is to rush to our doctor but the reality is that the majority of instances of pain in the lumbar region can be alleviated through holistic health practises such as massage and exercise.
Common lower back pain tends to affect people between 30 and 60 and apparently, is as responsible for absence from work as the common cold. Recent research has shown that in a large percentage, psychological factors play a large role in absence due to back pain.
Any body pain is not easy to moderate and many sufferers simply rely on ibuprofen and other pain killers to reduce the 'swelling' and relieve the pain but this is not a long term solution.
If you suffer from spine related pain ask yourself some of these questions and consider some of the circumstances that could be creating your back pain before rushing off to a doctor. It may well be that a little TLC from your local chiropractor or masseur may just do the trick.
Most of the wellness and health benefits associated with chiropractic care are due to the chiropractic adjustments received by the patients. These adjustments are important to place your body in the proper position so that it can heal itself. In fact, chiropractic adjustments help reduce the stress placed on the patient's immune system. This will release energy that is vital for maintaining homeostasis and preventing diseases. The treatment option addresses the whole body of the individual thereby improving his or her ability to think and act more positively.
A professional Gillham Arkansas chiropractor prides him/herself on taking a drug-free, natural approach to helping the patient improve his/her wellness and health in the long run. In fact, the entire principle is built on the basis that the body has an innate ability to heal itself under the right conditions. The chiropractic doctor will help create the right environment for the body to start healing itself. The practice focuses on keeping one's spine properly aligned at all times. The nervous system controls every organ and cell in the body. Hence, if the spine shifts out of its proper place, it should be brought back into alignment without delay to prevent issues in the nervous system which can manifest as various diseases in the body. That is where a professional and experienced chiropractic doctor comes in handy.
Middle Back Pain On Right Side - What To Do?
People experiencing lower right back pain may be wondering how in the world this isolated pain occurred. While lower back pain is very common, pain isolated to just the lower right side of the back only affects a handful of people. Here are some common reasons you may be experiencing lower right back pain.
Note: This article will discuss possible causes of the pain, not the diagnosis. It is important to discuss all of your medical conditions and concerns with a licensed healthcare professional.
While your isolated back pain could be caused from a variety of activities, there are three common causes that should be discussed.
1. Overuse or Misuse of Body
2. Sleeping Habits
3. Lack of Exercise and Stretching
1. Overuse or Misuse of Body
Most people are right-handed and thus primarily use the right side of their body for most common activity. This consistent use can lead to overuse in the muscles and joints on your right side. Where do you carry your purse or carryon bags? If you are right-handed, you probably carry them over your right shoulder. Where do men carry their overstuffed wallets? Probably in their right back pocket. When they sit down this adds a lot of stress to their lower right back and unnecessary weight on their left side.
Muscles and joints that aren't moved and exercised daily become weak and inflexible. This means that when you do use them for a simple task, like washing the dog, it could cause you major discomfort in your lower right back.
The exercise and stretching you do, should not be too intense or difficult. They should not hurt or cause you discomfort, and you should never feel dizzy or nauseas. Taking a walk around your neighborhood, climbing stairs, touching your toes, and practicing yoga are all great ways to stay active and prevent this back pain.
For more detailed information on lower right back pain causes, prevention and treatment, please visit http://www.lowerrightbackpainhq.net.
The American Chiropractic Association states that there are more than 70,000 chiropractic professionals operating in the United States alone. With so many to choose from, finding "any" chiropractic doctor is fairly easy. But you don't need "any" chiropractic when it comes to treating your condition. In fact, you want the "best" chiropractor in Gillham to treat your specific condition. This is a bit trickier than finding just any chiropractic doctor in the area. There are many things to consider when choosing the right professional to treat your condition.
When provided by a highly skilled and experienced professional, chiropractic care is quite effective in healing a wide variety of conditions. The right professional should have a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experience. A personal referral from someone you trust is a great starting point when searching for any type of professional near Gillham Arkansas. Ask your existing health care team, friends, family members or co-workers for recommendations in this regard. You may also hop online and read patient reviews and surveys on professional chiropractors operating in your area. Make sure you do the homework properly before scheduling your first appointment with the potential candidate.
Don't forget to check the credentials and experience of the potential candidate. Chiropractors are also known as doctors of chiropractic (DCs). They are highly trained professionals who have completed nationally accredited graduate-level programs. In addition to their 4-year undergraduate degree, a chiropractor should have a 4-year doctorate degree – similar to doctors of osteopathy (DOs) and medical doctors (MDs). Make sure the candidate you choose is licensed and a graduate of an accredited school of chiropractic. Evaluate his/her experience before you work with them. These are some of the most important things to look for when choosing the best chiropractic clinic in Gillham Arkansas.

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, July 17 (UPI) -- The Obama campaign ratcheted up the heat on presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, releasing an ad in Pennsylvania questioning Romney's taxes.
Campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to a day of campaigning by President Obama in Texas the commercial highlights "whether Mitt Romney paid his fair share in taxes."
"As we know, until he releases more years of tax returns we're not going to have additional information on why he had investments in the Cayman Islands, why he had investments in a company in Bermuda, and what decisions he was involved in."
Romney has released his 2010 federal tax return and has said he will release 2011 eventually. But despite pressure from within his own party, he has resisted releasing any earlier returns.
"The ad raises the question that we won't know [whether Romney paid his fair share of taxes or hid income], and it's not possible for anyone to know, until he releases further years of tax returns and everybody is able to examine what is included in them," Psaki said.
Obama arrived in San Antonio for the first of four campaign appearances at 11:15 a.m. CDT and was greeted by "Desperate Housewives" actress Eva Longoria, among others. Supporters brandished signs reading "Keep hope alive, support the president" and "President Obama cares" outside the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center.

Fire midfielder John Thorrington revealed Tuesday that he'll miss Chicago's match at Colorado on Saturday due to a quad injury he picked up in preseason. Thorrington also missed the Fire's season opener at New York.
"I had a little ... niggle in my left quad heading into the season and I didn't think much of it," Thorrington said after training on Tuesday. "I got a MRI [last week] and it revealed a bit more damage than we were hoping. I've just been undergoing treatment to minimize the time I was going to spend out. It's sort of day-to-day with my symptoms, but we're doing everything we can to make sure I'm back on the field as soon as possible."
There is no specific timetable for Thorrington's return. However, he did say he's hoping to be able to play in the Fire's home opener on April 10 against San Jose.
Thorrington's absence leaves head coach Carlos de los Cobos with one less option in the central midfield -- a position in which the Fire didn't receive much production their loss to the Red Bulls. De los Cobos will likely start two of the central midfield trio of Logan Pause, Peter Lowry and Baggio Husidic -- all of whom saw playing time against New York -- on Saturday.

Yost adjusting KC lineup due to NL rules
PHILADELPHIA -- Given the offensive explosion on Friday afternoon, Royals manager Ned Yost may have been tempted to stick with the same lineup on Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park against the Phillies.
"We're playing National League rules," Yost said. "I want to [go with my regular lineup], but the fact is you have to have confidence in all 25 guys. If I don't play them today, then when do I play them?"
On Friday, in a 13-4 win over Philadelphia, the Royals shook off a bad opening series offensively in Chicago and pounded out 19 hits with Billy Butler on the bench due to the lack of a designated hitter and right-handed starter Kyle Kendrick on the mound. First baseman Eric Hosmer, who entered the game with just one hit, went 4-for-5 with three RBIs, and left fielder Jeff Francoeur went 1-for-4 with a run scored.
On Saturday, Butler returned to first base and Hosmer took a seat against left-handed starter John Lannan. Francoeur has the most outfield experience, and once the Royals finish the Interleague Play series, they can return to a lineup with all three hitters available.
"I'm going to get everyone in the lineup this weekend," Yost said on Friday. "Billy will play on Saturday."
The Royals' bench featured only left-handed hitters on Saturday.

The world is burning yet the sun still shines. Smoke singes my nostrils, entangles itself in my unwashed hair. I drive the kids to school, an ominous glare in the sky. The traffic is as thick as the smoke. We are late. Then Sweet Child O'Mine comes on the radio and what else can we do but crank it up and belt it out?
This is life right now: we are all living and dying. We are singing and crying. We are hunkering down with buttered toast and cups of coffee and dancing wildly in the kitchen together to Rihanna. My heart crumbles because cancer courses through the bodies of people I love and my heart swells because the six year old learned to read. I am relieved when my teenager texts me from school to pick her up in the middle of the day because it's all just too much and I am worried she will fall behind if she misses just one class. My 7th grader wades through the social morass of middle school then comes home and nails the riff to Crazy Train, a gorgeous grin on her beaming face.
None of this is okay. Not the president or the natural disasters. Not the destruction of our homes and cities or the senseless deaths from gun violence and prejudice. Not the daily injuries of growing up or the shifts of time that define growing old. It is overwhelming. It is sometimes unbearable. It is not how I imagined my life to be. Then again, the world right now is unimaginable.
I have not given up because even as I wallow in the very center of the hopelessness, I cannot escape hope. There are glimmers of beauty and new strains of love glowing through the darkness. My golden roses still make their way from bud to bloom. The dog wags her tail. My husband and I are in constant touch, by phone and text and talk. In the last three days, each one of my daughters has reached for my hand over and over again.
I wish I could say these acts of hope were enough to convince me that the world's reckless spinning is a simple aberration that will soon be righted, but they are not. Denial is not what hope is made for. The time for pretending that "everything will be okay" is over. Everything might not be okay. The losses are staggering and still miracles abound in the most ordinary ways: kitchen dance parties, a rising sun, hands holding hands.
It's never been easy for me to bear the full weight of my own heartache. Here I am though, unable to escape it. I'm not sure if I'm just too worn out to do the hard work of fighting it or if I'm simply willing to feel it now. I do know that the only way to the light is through the chaos. The only way to see the extraordinary beauty of my ordinary life is to let the darkness in too. And I am oh so desperate for that light, even if it's the smoke-streaked glow of a sun on fire.
You can help those affected by the fires in Sonoma and Napa counties as well as elsewhere in California by donating to the Red Cross or to any of these other organizations.

Mercy Established
from Chris Donato Jan 30, 2009 Category: ArticlesFor it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever. Keep Reading
Secularism: Ignoring the Eternal (pt. 4)
from R.C. Sproul Jan 29, 2009 Category: ArticlesSuch a standpoint cannot be found in the New Testament. The Christ of Scripture was profoundly concerned with this world. This world was the site and purpose of the Incarnation. The God of heaven so loved this world that He sent His Son to redeem it. This is the world God created. This is the world God is redeeming. There is no other theater of God's redemptive action than this world. There is a profound sense in which we are called to be secular people. Keep Reading
Secularism: Ignoring the Eternal (pt. 3)
from R.C. Sproul Jan 28, 2009 Category: ArticlesFor secularism, all life, every human value, every human activity must be understood in light of this present time. The secularist either flatly denies or remains utterly skeptical about the eternal. He either says there is no eternal or if there is we can know nothing about it. What matters is now and only now. All access to the above and the beyond is blocked. There is no exit from the confines of this present world. The secular is all that we have. We must make our decisions, live our lives, make our plans, all within the closed arena of this time--the here and now. Keep Reading

Secularism: Ignoring the Eternal (pt. 2)
from R.C. Sproul Jan 27, 2009 Category: ArticlesHistorically, the word secular is a positive word in the Christian's vocabulary. The church has always had a good view of that which was regarded as secular. In the Middle Ages, for example, men were ordained to a specific role in the priesthood that was called the "secular priesthood." These were men who had responsibilities which took them out of the institution of the church to minister in the world where there were specific needs requiring the healing touch or the priestly mission of the church.

More Precious than Gold?
World Bank President Robert Zoellick will discuss topics other than gold while in Asia this week, in case you're wondering.
One of those topics is infrastructure, which—to denizens in the developing world who struggle to move goods and people, drink clean water, and keep the lights on—may be more precious than any metal.
On Wednesday Zoellick was in Singapore for a prominent infrastructure conference, where he underlined that a focus on infrastructure is a key part of the solid growth agenda the G-20 is trying to tackle. He also noted some important facts. First, infrastructure investment represents two-thirds of growth increase in East Asia and about half of the growth increase in Africa. Second, the World Bank estimates the need for infrastructure investment and maintenance in developing countries will amount to about $900 billion a year.
Despite this robust demand, developing countries face significant difficulty in attracting more private investment in all the subsectors of infrastructure to meet the enormous shortfall that governments alone cannot fill. Compounding the challenge, the global financial crisis has had major repercussions on the infrastructure development plans of many of these countries. And while MIGA saw an uptick in infrastructure sector activity in fiscal year 2010 that suggests a small recovery, the sheer size of infrastructure deficits in the developing world is daunting.
MIGA offers political risk insurance in order to attract investors and private insurers into difficult operating environments, and certainly many infrastructure projects in the developing world can fall into this category. The infrastructure industry is uniquely vulnerable to political risk due to its huge upfront costs and capital investment, longer timeframes, and reliance on future cash flows to meet financial obligations and provide reasonable returns.
MIGA's experience in underwriting infrastructure investments in the developing world is extensive. Since its inception in 1988, we have issued more than $5.6 billion in guarantees for infrastructure projects. MIGA's coverage has ranged from large hydropower dams in sub-Saharan Africa, to toll roads in Latin America, to water supply and treatment plants in Asia. MIGA is able to support investments at the sub-sovereign level, an important advantage in this sector.
The Doraleh Container Terminal in Djibouti is a prime example of a complex MIGA-supported infrastructure project that is showing tangible impact today. In December 2007, we underwrote $427 million in guarantees for construction of the terminal. Just one year later, the new state-of-the-art container terminal, operated by DP World of Dubai, was already boasting impressive results. Now the terminal, located in one of the world's poorest countries, is setting technical and efficiency standards for other port operations and serving as the backbone for the nation's economy. Resultantly, Djibouti is emerging as a key trade gateway for the member nations of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa.
Infrastructure investment in emerging markets is often risky, but from MIGA's perspective, unequivocally crucial to moving developing countries' development forward. From the perspective of investors, the opportunities for financial gain are substantial and growing.
Our hope is to provide insurance as part of well-conceived ventures that reap rewards for the investor and build a stronger base for development.

President Eisenhower Met With Aliens (with actual photo)
I didn't realize James Carville was that old.
From Mail Online
President Eisenhower had three secret meetings with aliens, former Pentagon consultant claims
Former American President Dwight D. Eisenhower had three secret meetings with aliens, a former US government consultant has claimed.
The 34th President of the United States met the extra terrestrials at a remote air base in New Mexico in 1954, according to lecturer and author Timothy Good.
Eisenhower and other FBI officials are said to have organised the showdown with the space creatures by sending out 'telepathic messages'
The two parties finally met up on three separate occasions at the Holloman Air Force base and there were 'many witnesses'.
Conspiracy theorists have circulated increased rumours in recent months that the meeting between the Commander-in-Chief and people from another planet took place.
But the claims from Mr Good, a former U.S. Congress and Pentagon consultant, are the first to be made publicly by a prominent academic.
Speaking on Frank Skinner's BBC2 current affairs show Opinionated, he said that governments around the world have been in regular contact with aliens for many decades.

LawnSavers has two great lawn care programs that help to keep Holland Landing lawns Green & Healthy.
To help your lawn recover from the ravages of climate, like the heat and drought in the Summer of 2007 and the compacting effect on soils by the record rains of 2008 and 2009, in addition to 2010's ups and downs, I recommend our Protector Package for peace of mind coverage and the BEST VALUE! It includes organic based fertilization, Fiesta Natural weed management, core aeration, grub treatment, chinch bug management, pH Soil testing and a FREE Kelp Revitalizer.
The best weed control is a well nourished lawn. With ongoing research we have found a new product called Fiesta® that became the cornerstone of our weed management program since 2010 and is expected to give even better results in 2015 with DOUBLE the weed control applications! The biggest advantage is that Fiesta does not require watering to be effective, and it can be applied in a wide range of temperatures on Holland Landing lawns. It also is more effective on a wider variety of broad-leaved weeds when part of a comprehensive healthy lawn program. Still, a healthy, thick lawn is your best defense! Products like Sarritor, Beet Juice and Corn Gluten are not as effective and serve only to fertilize your lawn and weeds at best.
Also, adding our Custom over-seeding to our aeration visit will introduce your lawn to much hardier varieties of seed that are bred to withstand higher temperatures, need less water, and resist insects like chinch bug!
I recommend watering once per week for about 1.5-2 hours in each area.
Chief Lawn Expert
Call or email us today to find out why LawnSavers has been voted best lawn care service for 12 years running! Thank you Holland Landing for making us your favorite lawn care provider!
If you live in Holland Landing, you may not be aware that even during a water restriction phase, there are usually times that you can still water your lawn effectively. A healthy lawn only needs 1-1.5 inches of water each week.
LawnSavers takes the work out of this for you: visit our water ban information page.

A recent poll carried out for the Poverty Alliance, found that almost 65 per cent of people in Scotland support topping up child benefit by £5 per week.
People were asked if they would support the Scottish Government topping up child benefit at a cost of approximately £250m to lift 30,000 children out of poverty.
In total 36.2 per cent of people said they would strongly support this, and a further 28.6 per cent said they somewhat support this proposal. Only 15.5 per cent opposed it, and of these only 6.2 were strongly opposed to the suggestion.
A total of 1,037 people were asked.
Peter Kelly, director of the Poverty Alliance, said: "These poll results come just before Stage 2 of the child poverty bill.
"It is clear that there is a public appetite in Scotland for topping up child benefit and lifting children out of poverty.
"We have spoken with families across Scotland about what difference this could make to them, and it was clear that for many families this would mean being able to buy better food or help them afford school supplies.
"All the predictions are that child poverty is going to increase over the next few years. Now is the time to act to make sure that families in Scotland do not face even greater pressure than they already do now.
"If we are serious about eradicating child poverty in Scotland by 2030, then this is one of the necessary steps to achieving this.
"Tackling poverty is a matter of political will so let's use the levers at our disposal in Scotland."
Emma Trottier, policy manager at Engender, added: "The UK government's so-called 'welfare reform' agenda has been profoundly harmful to women and women's equality. The measures that have been implemented in the name of austerity disproportionately impoverish women and their families, in particular lone mothers. Topping up child benefit by £5 per week would help alleviate suffering, giving women and their families that extra bit of help at a time when it is most needed."

"[Todd Tijerina] creates his own style and sound… His manner of guitar playing, singing and song writing is refreshing and inspiring." Rootstime (Belgium)
"From the first note he strikes on his guitar, it's apparent that something great is happening...[Todd] plays with an almost incomprehensible intensity."-- Aiding & Abetting
About the Band
Consistently increasing its touring radius and base of support amongst fans and music industry allies alike, the band is making strides towards the international market.
The Todd Tijerina Band has shared the stage with such well-known artists as:
"Todd Tijerina is more ego-free soulman than six-string showboat. Not that he can't burn a fretboard with the best of `em--one spin of his new disc proves that -- but [Todd] and his band lay down a tune and a rock-solid groove well before the solo sparks fly, not the other way around. Nothing against the over-the-top likes of your Chris Duartes, but it's nice to hear a guy who puts his audience above his own stroke-fests once in awhile."

Westmont Wins First-Ever National Championship
Westmont, who finishes the season with a 30-4 overall record, sealed the institution's eighth national crown when tournament Most Valuable Player Tugce Canitez connected on a runner in the lane to give the Warriors a 71-65 lead with nine seconds left. Lee (34-3) had its last two opportunities blocked as the final seconds ran off the clock.
Canitez and fellow forward Kelsie Sampson paced Westmont with 25 points each, while guard Esther Lee scored 12 points on a 4-of-5 effort from beyond the arc. Canitez, who added a game-high 20 rebounds to earn her 17th double-double of the season, ended her senior season four points shy of tying the Westmont career scoring record.
Lee's Hollie German set the tone early as she scored the Lady Flames first nine points, including her first of four 3-pointers to open the game. The Lady Flames grew their lead to eight, 16-8, seven minutes into the first half on another German three.
However, Westmont took its first lead of the night, 17-16, with a 9-0 run capped by two free throws by Kelsie Sampson. The two teams traded runs over the next few minutes before Westmont's high-pressure defense began to upset Lee's tempo.
The Warriors held Lee, who shot 50 percent from the field up until the eight minute mark, to only two field goals over the final eight minutes of the first half. The drought allowed Westmont to go on a 15-2 run before German hit a fade-away jumper as the buzzer sounded to make it 34-30 Westmont at the half.
Westmont finished the opening period shooting 48 percent (12-of-25) from the floor, while Lee limped into the half with a 36.4 percent (12-of-33) field goal percentage. Canitez and German both scored 14 points in the half.
Lee came out of the locker room as the aggressor, scoring four quick points to tie the score 34-34 at the 19:31 mark. The Lady Flames tied the score twice more during the period, but each time Westmont scored on its next possession. The Warriors earned their first double-digit lead of the game with 4:42 left on Sampon's 25th point of the night.
Back-to-back buckets by Jenna Adams and a 3-pointer from German cut the Westmont advantage back to three points with under a minute remaining, however it proved too little too late.
Westmont finished the game shooting 47.4 percent (27-of-57) from the field and 40 percent from beyond the arc. The Warriors out rebounded the Lady Flames, 45-27.
Lee, who was appearing in its first-ever national championship final, shot 39.1 percent (25-of-64) for the game and struggled from 3-point range (8-of-25).
German paced the team with 27 points, while Adams was second with 19 points. Both German and Adams were named to the All-Tournament First Team.
