In his post "'The Footsteps of the Messiah' and the Messianic Tribulation" Brant explained that the Rabbis read Psalm 89 as a description of the eschatological suffering which the Messiah himself would undergo. In particular, he looked at an image found at the end of the psalm which was picked up on by the rabbis and seen as a description of the Messiah's eschatological sufferings: "they mock the footsteps of thy anointed" (Ps 89:51).
This is an important insight for the following reasons. First, this would seem to indicate a presence of expectations of a suffering Davidic Messiah in Jewish thought. Since it is hardly likely that this tradition was invented by Jewish writers after the Christian period, it seems more than likely that such hopes were present in Jesus' day.
However, to say such a thing runs counter to the conclusions of some biblical critics who have made the case that there was no pre-Christian tradition for a suffering Messianic figure. That particular understanding of the Messiah's role emerged only after Jesus' death. According to some of these scholars the New Testament's presentation of Jesus' death as fulfillment of Scripture is a bit of a stretch since the Scriptures did not really present such an expectation.
When encountering such a view one might immediately think of the suffering servant prophecy of Isaiah. Is not that a clear instance of such a messianic understanding? According to many biblical scholars the answer to that question is "no". Isaiah 53, it is said, describes not an individual per se but the "servant" figure in this part of Isaiah actually represents the nation of Israel.
Upon close inspection it does indeed appear that the "servant" language in the second part of Isaiah is often referring to the people of Israel (cf. Isa 41:8-9). Yet, there are clear instances where the term "servant" is used to describe an individual (e.g., cf. Isa 22:20; 36:35; Isa 63:11). Clearly there are numerous references to a coming individual messianic figure in the first part of Isaiah. The historical-critical conclusion that Isaiah 1-39 was written by a different author cannot be used to argue that ancient Israelites would have read those chapters apart from later chapters. Clearly the book of Sirach shows as that ancient Israel did not make such distinctions (cf. Sir 48:22-25).
Moreover, it seems clear that the sufferings of servant are associated with the eschatological regathering of Israel. The servant therefore is clearly an eschatological figure. The suffering of this figure is thus linked with the restoration.
Isaiah 53 and Daniel 9
That Isaiah 53 was understood in this way is likely confirmed by a close reading of Daniel. Many scholars recognize the way Daniel draws from Isaiah―in particular Isaiah 53.[1] What is often overlooked is the similarity between Daniel 9 and Isaiah 53. As in Isaiah 53, Daniel 9 describes a coming "messianic" figure (an "anointed one"), who is killed (Dan 9:26; cf. Isa 53:8-10) and whose death is associated with the atonement of "transgressions" (Heb.: פֶּשַׁע; cf. both Dan 9:24; Isa 53:5) and "iniquities" (Heb.: עָוֹן; cf. both Dan 9:24; Isa 53:5). In both contexts this suffering is linked with an eschatological "return" (Heb.: שׁוּב; cf. Dan 9:25; Isa 52:8) to Jerusalem / Zion and the restoration of God's people. With this understanding of Isaiah 53 we can now return the passage which Brant focused on in his original post: Psalm 89.
Psalm 89 and Isaiah 53
Scholars have long noted the relationship of Isaiah―especially the latter part of the book―with the Psalter.[2] However, what is seldom noted is the interesting relationship between Psalm 89 and Isaiah 53. Both passages speak of the "servant" of the Lord (Ps 89:39 [40]; Isa 52:13; 53:11; Heb.: עבֶד). In both passages this "servant" is described as being pierced or wounded [the word is the same in Hebrew: חָלַל; Ps 89:39b (40b); Isa 54:14].
The two passages also share many other literary points of contact. Both Psalm 89 and Isaiah 54 describe Israel's experience of exile in terms מְחִתָּה ― terror, destruction, ruin (Ps 89:40 [41]; Isa 54:14). Likewise in both contexts the strength of the Lord is described in terms of the strength or holiness of his arm (Ps 89:13-14; Isa 52:9). In addition, both contexts speak of lost "youth" (cf. Ps 89:45 [46]; Isa 54:4). One might also point out that the preceding psalm, Psalm 88, like Isaiah 53, speaks of one who is cut off:
Ps 88:6: I am reckoned among those who go down to the Pit; I am a man who has no strength, 5 like one forsaken among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave [Heb. קבֶר] like those whom thou dost remember no more, for they are cut off [Heb.: גָּזַר] from thy hand
Isa 53:8-9: By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off [Heb.: גָּזַר] out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?... And they made his grave [Heb. קבֶר] with the wicked…
Peter's use of Isaiah 53 and Psalm 89
From what we have seen I think it at least appears plausible that Psalm 89 was understood in connection with the traditions present in Isaiah 53. Confirmation however is found in 1 Peter. There the various threads we have followed here intertwine.
1 Peter 2:22-25 clearly describes Christ's suffering in connection with Isaiah 53:
"He committed no sin; no guile was found on his lips. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he trusted to him who judges justly. 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls."
1 Pet 2:21: For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.Here Peter relates the sufferings of the Messiah Jesus to the very same passage the ancient rabbis read in connection with the eschatological sufferings of the Messiah. Indeed, much could be said about 1 Peter and the eschatological sufferings―recently an entire monograph was written developing this theme in the epistle.[4] Moreover, the image of the footsteps of the Messiah from Psalm 89:51 is seamlessly conflated with allusions to Isaiah 53.
Even more, Peter links the sufferings of Christians with Jesus' sufferings―they must walk in his steps. In other words, whether or not Isaiah 53 describes an individual or the people of God would have been a moot point for Peter―for him it describes both, since Christians have a participation in the eschatological suffering of Christ. He thus goes on to say, "Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same thought, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin… rejoice in so far as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed" (1 Pet 4:1, 13).
When Brant wrote his dissertation he had yet to discover many of these connections. However, I think 1 Peter's use of these passages serves as a powerful confirmation of the argument he has put forth.
Indeed, Brant and I have been discussing many further implications and dimensions of these insights… expect to read more in the future―we've barely scratched the surface!

[2] In particular, we might mention that Robert Cole has noted connections between Psalm 89 and Isaiah 55: "Both vv. 4 [of Psalm 89] (Davidic covenant) and 2-3 [of Psalm 89] (faithfulness and fidelity) are brought together in the one verse of Isa. 55:3 by parallel vocabulary... (v. 55:3cd)." Robert Cole, The Shape and Message of Book III (Psalms 73-89) (England: Sheffield Academic Press, 2000), 209 n. 17.

Translated by Cedric Belfrage
New Introduction by Isabel Allende
Since its U.S. debut almost fifty years ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are the veins which he traces through the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande and throughout the Caribbean, and all the way to their open ends where they empty into the coffers of wealth in the United States and Europe. Weaving fact and imagery into a rich tapestry, Galeano fuses scientific analysis with the passions of a plundered and suffering people. An immense gathering of materials is framed with a vigorous style that never falters in its command of themes. All readers interested in great historical, economic, political, and social writing will find a singular analytical achievement, and an overwhelming narrative that makes history speak, unforgettably. This classic is now further honored by Isabel Allende's inspiring introduction. Universally recognized as one of the most important writers of our time, Allende once again contributes her talents to literature, to political principles, and to enlightenment.
To publish Eduardo Galeano is to publish the enemy: the enemy of lies, indifference, above all of forgetfulness. Thanks to him our crimes will be remembered. His tenderness is devastating, his truthfulness, furious.
This book is a monument in our Latin American history. It allows us to learn history, and we have to build on this history.
A superbly written, excellently translated, and powerfully persuasive expose which all students of Latin American and U.S. history must read.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Galeano's vision is unswerving, surgical and yet immensely generous and humane. This book, written more than thirty years ago, contains profound lessons for contemporary India. Eduardo Galeano ought to be a household name in this country.

Home Page Press Renaissance Knights Quest turns 50
|Renaissance Knights Quest turns 50
|By David Heiser
|February 8, 2010
The Super Bowl wasn't the only big competition on Sunday. The afternoon of February 7th at the Renaissance Hotel in Northbrook, 78 chess players young and old battled at the 50th monthly Knights Quest tournament organized by the Renaissance Knights Chess Foundation. The Knights Quest was the original series of monthly Scholastic & Adult Class Tournaments in Chicago having three sections: U800 and U1200 for children and an Open Section for children and adults. Today the series has expanded to 4 sections: U600 & U1000 for children and U1400 and Open for children and adults. The success of these tournaments has changed the landscape of scholastic tournaments in Chicago; more and more organizers have switched to this format from the traditional grade level format.
FIDE Master and former 'Illinois State Champion' Aleksandar Stamnov won the top section of the tournament with a perfect 4-0 score. Two of his opponents, Paul Seet and Joey Bikus, won all the rest of their games to tie for 2nd with a 3-1 score, as did Expert Larry Cohen. There was a four-way tie for 5th place at 2.5 points: Howard Cohen, Timothy Zhou, James Demos and Ryan Toepfer. A field of 22 players took on the challenge of competing in the top section.
Another 22 players battled in the next section, for those with ratings under 1400. The competition was so tough that no one won all of his or her games, but 3 young chess players tied for 1st with 3 wins and a draw for 3.5 points: Akash Mattu, Josh Power and Miranda Liu. Three more players scored 3 wins and lost only one game to one of the top finishers. They tied for 4th with 3 points: Lukasz Tony Zak in his first ever rated chess tournament, Daniel Sun and Eric Gan.
The third section, for young people with ratings under 1000, had 12 players and the competition was intense. Avinash Rajendra secured 1st place with a perfect 4-0 score. Samuel Bergman and Anupama Rajendra tied for 2nd place with 3 points each. There was a big six-way tie for 4th place at 2 points: Joshua Liu, Adarsh Mattu, Prateek Dullur, Jacob Zhou, Vishesh Verma and Brody Frapolly.
The Under 600 or beginners had 24 players. This section always has a mix of new young players in their first or second ever tournament and more experienced players. Jason Bai won the section with a perfect 4-0 score. Dylan Cotter earned 2nd place with 3 wins and a draw for 3.5 points. Five more players tied for 3rd place with 3 points: Saivikas Gundam, Frederic Fosco, Brandon Smithson, Owen Power and Ethan Shifrin.
Congratulations to all the winners! At Knights Quest events, every young player who doesn't win a trophy for the top 5 places receives a medal in recognition of the achievement of coming out to compete, playing hard, and having fun.
The next big event Renaissance Knights will hold is the Greater Chicago Scholastic K-12 Championships, in partnership with The Kasporov Chess Foundation. This unique tournament is coming to Chicago for the first time; it is similar to "The Greater New York Scholastic Chess Championships!" America's longest-running rated scholastic chess tournament. Last weekend's Greater New York Scholastic Championships had a record breaking turnout with over 900 players. The Greater Chicago Scholastic K-12 Championships will be held at the 'Crowne Plaza Hotel' in Northbrook the weekend of February 27-28. All young players from kindergarten to 12th grade are welcome to attend, and players can play either on Saturday or Sunday or both days. Please visit the event page for more information on this regional championship tournament.
About Renaissance Knights Chess Foundation
Founded in 2005 as a not-for-profit educational organization by David and Sheila Heiser, the RKCF mission is to bring the many benefits of chess to the children in the Chicago area. The Foundation provides high quality programs that equip Chicago children with the skills they need to excel academically, intellectually and socially, while keeping them safe and active during out of school hours.

Classic Flame makes some really nice looking and feeling fireplace pieces. I know you've seen some cheaper ones in some of the larger retail places like I have, but what I didn't know is that they made some stuff that is pretty "Heirloom" feeling as well. The Party Time Fireplace fits somewhere in between that spectrum. It is really nice, it is well built and it is small enough to fit in a dorm room, bedroom, or small apartment/house living room… OR MAN CAVE! This is why we thought it would be a great idea for the 2013 Father's Day Gift List. When the PR team at Classic Flame pitched this story for the Gift List we instantly agreed. They knew what guys liked… cold beer, movies and video games… They said "Hey we have the perfect product". They were right.
Putting it together is another thing that a guy likes to do. You get around with a bunch of friends, you all talk about what you would have done if "I built this it would have a secret door with a special stash for my cookies and $150 bottle of brandy"… an hour later you'd all be watching television on the couch in the basement playing with the remote control to turn on/off the fireplace.
I don't know what size television the Partytime is rated for, but we put a 70" on top of it and it was pretty stable. We then proceeded to test it by drinking beer and watching the game. It was a great way to kill a lazy Tuesday afternoon, catch a game that we recorded Sunday… and I mean all of the guys agreed it was awesome.
The fireplace is an electric insert that has a heater and a fan in it. The LED lights mimic a real fire and it looks really cool. It completely changes the vibe in a room. What's really awesome about it is you can run the LED lights without the heat so if it's hot you get all of the nice atmosphere of a fire without the heat.
So what new contraption is Classic Flame going to come up with next? I got one… maybe a slot on the top to keep the pizza warm??!?! (If anyone uses that idea I want a $1 from each sale! Or at least free pizza for life).
I have no problem giving the Party Time Fireplace by Classic Flame a solid 5 star out of 5 star rank. It was a blast putting together (easy peasy) and it was a lot of fun relaxing with the guys reviewing the features.

- Mini black holes at the LHC : discovery through di-jet suppression, mono-jet emission and a supersonic boom in the quark-gluon plasma in ALICE, ATLAS and CMS (2006)
- We examine experimental signatures of TeV-mass black hole formation in heavy ion collisions at the LHC. We find that the black hole production results in a complete disappearance of all very high p_T (> 500 GeV) back-to-back correlated di-jets of total mass M > M_f ~ 1 TeV. We show that the subsequent Hawking-decay produces multiple hard mono-jets and discuss their detection. We study the possibility of cold black hole remnant (BHR) formation of mass ~ M_f and the experimental distinguishability of scenarios with BHRs and those with complete black hole decay. Finally we point out that a Heckler-Kapusta-Hawking plasma may form from the emitted mono-jets. In this context we present new simulation data of Mach shocks and of the evolution of initial conditions until the freeze-out.
- Signatures for black hole production from hadronic observables at the Large Hadron Collider (2006)
- The concept of Large Extra Dimensions (LED) provides a way of solving the Hierarchy Problem which concerns the weakness of gravity compared with the strong and electro-weak forces. A consequence of LED is that miniature Black Holes (mini-BHs) may be produced at the Large Hadron Collider in p+p collisions. The present work uses the CHARYBDIS mini-BH generator code to simulate the hadronic signal which might be expected in a mid-rapidity particle tracking detector from the decay of these exotic objects if indeed they are produced. An estimate is also given for Pb+Pb collisions.
- Gravitational radiation from ultra high energy cosmic rays in models with large extra dimensions (2006)
- The effects of classical gravitational radiation in models with large extra dimensions are investigated for ultra high energy cosmic rays (CRs). The cross sections are implemented into a simulation package (SENECA) for high energy hadron induced CR air showers. We predict that gravitational radiation from quasi-elastic scattering could be observed at incident CR energies above 10^9 GeV for a setting with more than two extra dimensions. It is further shown that this gravitational energy loss can alter the energy reconstruction for CR energies E_CR > 5 10^9 GeV.

WIU Marching Leathernecks
The "Marching Leathernecks" include students from nearly every discipline on the campus of Western Illinois University. These students' total commitment to excellence has marked the legacy of Western Illinois University and the Marching Leathernecks.
The band is known for its powerful sound and unique innovations, which have impressed audiences throughout the Midwest. The Marching Leathernecks regularly support many local and regional events and are privileged to have a close bond with the campus community of Macomb, Illinois.
Their performances have included halftime shows for the Kansas City Chiefs, St. Louis Rams, Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears of the National Football League, as well as exhibition performances at the Bands of America Super-Regional Championships at the TWA/Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri and at the Lucas Oil/RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana. Western Illinois University also hosts the Marching Band Classic, a high school marching band competition that attracts bands from Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.
The band's greatest sense of pride comes from performing for the Western Illinois University Leatherneck football fans. The Marching Leathernecks perform a pre-game concert (affectionately known as "Pre-game At The Ashtray") and Fighting Leatherneck fans join the band for this event to get ready for a Leatherneck victory.
Traditions are a part of any successful organization and the Marching Leathernecks are no exception. Georgia On My Mind has been an audience favorite since 1982, when Dale Hopper (then director) hid half of the band, which "magically" appeared right in front of the audience in the middle of the song. Also, following each performance, the Marching Leathernecks "circle-up" and perform You'll Never Walk Alone, which strengthens our commitment to each other as individuals and bonds our group as a true musical family.
Whether before, during or after the game, the Marching Leathernecks strive to support its team, entertain its fans, promote the university, and continue the Tradition Of Greatness.

Photographer's Note
Chefchaouen is a city in northwest Morocco, and is well known for its buildings in shades of blue. It is a great place with a relaxed atmosphere and perfect for exploring the small and often steep streets.
The name refers to the shape of the mountain tops above the town, that look like the two horns (chaoua) of a goat. "Chef Chaouen" derives from the Berber word for horns, Ichawen.

Hello Wanda,
Difficult to do more blue. I never visited this place in Morocco, I will put it in the list of things to do.
And I will soon push the door to see what is behind ;-)
marabu61 (11587) 2013-12-29 4:37
Hello Wanda
Now that is blue indeed. An almost surreal scene that is most pleasing to look at. I wasn't aware of a blue city in Morocco, so thank you for bringing this to my attention as Morocco is probably our next important travel destination. Until now I only knew Jodhpour in India as a blue city.
I wish you a happy new year
icesurfer (574) 2013-12-29 5:06
Hello Wanda,
The town must really be a peculiar place, with these colors and tints, and you did a great job capturing its atmosphere in this picture.
I like how the door (and the panel on the right) stand out by just being of a different shade of blue. Good choice of POV, with the stairs that lead the viewer's attention to the door above.
chrislo (4097) 2013-12-29 7:52
Hello Wanda,
An excellent study in light and colour, well composed and full of texture. I like the simple composition with the stairs leading up to the door. The unique blue paint makes it an interesting and attractive shot with a superb quality. A charming scene.
Kund regards,

Hi Wanda!
Chefchaouen is one of the most famous cities in Morocco, but I've never been there! I imagine it must be one of the most fantastic places to discover! You have a very good shot here, I like the details and tonalities. Seems the inhabitants take good care of the city. Well managed light!
Have a great New Year!

Hello Wanda
Posted on my birthday, and I missed it! Maybe I've only just recovered... Well framed and composed of course, but you could hardly go wrong having found such a stupendous location. It's eye-popping, and I guess all you needed to do was point and shoot. I'm glad you did.

Hi Wanda
wow, now thats blue!!
it almost looks like a painting, like the blue stairs were swept with a painters brush.
funny how they still use blue for the doors but a paler color.
a great cultural photo for the unique colors and ambiance.
Just wondering...how many days did you spend her? My girlfriend and I are REALLY wanting to visit the blue city in Morocco!!! was it easy to get to?
enjoy your day

Hi Wanda,
Thanks for the visit today. It didn't take but a split second to pick this out from your gallery, as blue is my favorite color. :) This is insanely cool, literally and figuratively. The turquoise and blue combination screams tropical sensation, and it's all so soothing and beautiful. The textures are amazing and the composition is solidly appealing. This is a wonderful photo, full of wonderment and intrigue. So glad to see this. Bravo!
All the best,

when did you upload so many photos and i did not notice? here is another subject worthy of many appreciations. the lively colors are indeed tempting for further "color enhancement" but that's for the ambitious PS boys. i know it is tricky, even a simple push in these electric blues creates disasters. it is beautiful as it is: chefchaouen mon amour...

Hello Wanda,
What an impressive detail shot in your gallery! The blue door of the blue house looks more than eye catching in my opinion and for sure created a superb opportunity for photography. Love it! Magical place as well as your presentation. TFS!

Bypass critics bypass smart network
I am writing to comment on your lead article on the Rt. 29 bypass in the June 16 issue ["Fast track: Western Bypass shifts into overdrive"]. It is very one sided. I say this not as an editorial criticism, but rather to point out that there is a very vocal anti-road lobby. In contrast, very few are publicly supporting it. Yet, it seems essential if we are ever to have a rational system of local roads.
I have been a strong advocate of a more pedestrian-, bicycle-, and transit-friendly city. For me, construction of the bypass would be a marvelous first step towards a design in which regional traffic would come to large parking facilities and transit hubs on the periphery of the urban area, thereby reducing downtown traffic. I believe this is an idea whose time has come.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Wall Street and businesses want lawmakers to raise the debt ceiling as part of the so-called fiscal cliff package, but some Republicans are balking.
The Treasury Department estimates the United States will reach its $16.4 trillion borrowing limit by the end of the year, and the limit will need to be increased by early 2013, The Hill reported Friday.
Some members of the U.S. business community say they want Congress to go ahead and include a measure to increase the debt limit in the package they devise to avoid the looming fiscal cliff, when hundreds of billions of dollars in tax increases and spending cuts are scheduled to begin Jan. 1.
Ken Bensten, head of the Washington office at the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, said that if Congress addresses the debt limit now, it clears the way for them to work on broad fiscal reforms.
"As a practical matter, it would make sense to wrap it in," he said. "You could move on to deal with tax reform and fiscal reform and all other things ... and not have this looming cataclysmic event hanging over you," he said.
Republican lawmakers, though, say they want to avoid raising the debt limit under a lame-duck Congress, The Hill reported.
"If you would raise the debt ceiling in some kind of agreement here in the lame duck, you would have raised the debt ceiling twice and not cut any spending," said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chairman of the House Republican Study Committee. "To me, that's a huge problem."
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama has been meeting one-on-one with the chief executive officers of several large companies such as General Electric, Xerox and Honeywell International to garner support in averting the fiscal cliff, CNNMoney reported.
Talks over the crisis at hand could lead to improved relations between the president and the business community, smoothing over tensions of the past four years.
"We're in the time of decision making. ... We have to fix the fiscal cliff. I think you're going to see a ramped-up engagement," said Matthew Miller, vice president at the Business Roundtable, which represents CEOs of big business.

Hi Everyone!
How are you? I'm doing great! That's the steroids talking, ha, ha, ha! Sunday will be a sad day and my first whole day w/out a steroid! Yikes! That is when the pain will set in - usually! Last embolization I had to go through FOUR rounds of steroids before I finally felt well enough w/out having to take them!
Ok, so the BIG news of the day is .... FINALLY, FINALLY there is proof to the doubters that all the horridness of what I've been through will come to an end and it will really, really all be over - for REAL! What am I talking about? Some of you already know! Last week, my buddy Shalon, another avm-er, was going in for her first debulkment! I already went through my first one, but Shalons was such a dramatic change! She really questioned the doctors about every single step they would be taking during the debulkment and she had the nurses taking photos during the procedure! Wow! You can see these photos in a slide show on Shalon's website! You can get to her site from mine! Please do take the time to look for them - it will help everyone understand what we go through and that all that we HAVE gone through is not in vain! I won't mention any names, but I had someone actually ask me whether I felt I was being used as a guinea pig by these doctors, because apparently this person wasn't seeing any improvement on me fast enough to satisfy them. I'm sure people don't want to see anyone suffer and maybe this person had my best interest - but this is a slow process and incredibly difficult to understand!
I just wanted the opportunity to show eveyrone that keeps in touch with me a photo of "original Shalon" and the fantastic way she looks after her first debulkment! This is because she is still swollen from that procedure but you can tell what a wonderful difference it makes! Yay Shalon! You have been incredibly encouraging to me and so many other avm-ers! You do so much for so many and we appreciate it!
I can't wait for it to be my turn! About two embolizations ago, Dr. Hepworth said that maybe in 6-8 more, that he wanted to do another debulking on me! Ugh, those are tough - well, it all is! This last trip was just rough all around!
So much to think about still - everything we went through. I'm shooting for heading back to CO the week after Thanksgiving. We'll see. I have to start working w/my Therabite again - haven't made time for that lately.
Just wanted to take some time to show everyone what an incredible breakthrough has been made in my avm world to my friend Shalon! It's been and still is a very rough road, but to finally SEE first hand that this WORKS!!!! All your prayer gives me the strength to get through - it really does! Many people @ the courthouse where I work will tell me how incredible I am to keep working, or whatever - but I always give credit to Our Lord of course ... our faith and all the prayer warriors I have!
Oh! Yes, back to Shalon - go to her website or blog (see the link on my site to hers) and read over a bit and you will see one area that says something like "Grody pictures", so click on that! It starts w/a photo of cupcakes, but keep watching! Viewer discretion is advised for the weak stomached! Thank you Shalon for putting those photos out there! We all need to see what happens when we are under!
Thanks again everyone! Love you all! Maybe our journey will reach it's end soon!
Huge Breakthrough!!!

Prince Hanz turns 2 on 9/20/10!
Sunday, September 26, 2010
Hi again!
Had to post a couple of photos we took earlier today! It was Hanz's birthday on the 20th, but w/everything we had going on there wasn't time for a party like last year! We brought him a stuffed animal from the Denver airport! He loves getting a new stuffed toy! We're so happy to be home with our baby!

Colorado 40?
Hi everyone! How are things in your world these days? I'm ready to blog all about our adventures during our trip to CO! First let me share a photo of Shalon with you post debulkment! Even with the swelling you can see what a difference having that debulkment made! How exciting! That will be ME someday too!
Soon as we landed, picked up car rental and headed out to have lunch! We decided to go see our buddy Michelle, a waitress we have befriended @ Ted's Montana Grill"! See photos of Michelle and I! Headed out to look for a couple of books I had been wanting, so we went to Barnes and Noble and I was also hoping Petsmart had any Brussels Griffon books, but no luck! Finally found the paperback book I was wanting @ Borders the latest by author P.J. Parrish called The Little Death @ Park Meadows Mall! At one point, we sat down @ Borders and were looking through some magazines - once we got up to leave, this young lady followed us and had to tell me she would be praying for me! Mark tells her we need all the prayer we can get! So we all held hands and prayed - she wanted us to go to her church, but told her we were in town only a few days.
After going to Safeway to purchase my favorite Spray Starch and snacks, we finally headed to the hotel to check in!
Mark went out to get us pizza @ one of his fav. places in Englewood called Ricos! Had that for dinner and watched TV before bed. I did not sleep well - partially because I couldn't stack my pillows just right, so I woke up w/a backache! I'm not sure if not being able to almost sit up to sleep like I do @ home, caused me anxiety about not having my humidifier cup attached to my trache! Much as I hate that thing, I need it and felt like I couldn't catch my breath! So that reminded me that Dr. Yakes had told me that some of his patients come to find they didn't want to get rid of the trache later when all the embolizations were done! When Dr.Yakes told me this, I thought, "Yeah right, who wouldn't want to get rid of the stupid trache ASAP! I'm worried now that when it comes time to get rid of the trache, am I going to have an anxiety attack because that airway is closed now? I shouldn't because I only need the trache for embolizations, I don't need it on a daily basis to breathe!
On to the next morning - got up and reported to Swedish, and who do we see coming down the hall? Dr. Yakes! He has lost an incredible about of weight! I'll show you a before and after photo! In one photo you'll see Dr. Yakes, Dr. Hepworth and myself in the middle! Now check out Mr. Skinny! Right after Mark took our picture, he shook hands w/Dr. Yakes, as did I and leaned in for a kiss on the cheek! Well apparently when I "pucker" my mouth starts to bleed on the inside! Didn't realize it until Dr. Yakes was down the hall and I pointed to my mouth, looked @ Mark and said "bleeding"! He ran to find the restroom so I could spit out into the sink! There was a guy in there trying to change a baby's diaper and Mark told him to please hurry, as we had an emergency situation! Got it under control quickly enough, but I wanted to make sure and let the doc know before I was put under!
This was not a good day in Ambulatory Care - from what we heard later in OR, the nurses in Ambulatory were having a hard time getting IV's started - mine being one of them! Here I am w/Saba of course! Lots of people @ Swedish ask about her - the recptionist that pre-registered me did! We heard Nurse Mary had quit - we used to call her Boston because she had a heavy accent! She used to get my IV's started. Nurse Jean started my IV twice w/no luck (short blondish hair), so Nurse Mae (hair back in ponytail)took over! She put it where my right wrist bends - OUCH! Also of course, Dr. Yakes Phys. Asst., Kelly stopped by before my procedure - check out photos!
Then Dr. Quinn, the anesthesiologist came by to see if I was ready for the embolization! Last treatment I had, Dr. Quinn had come by to see me and I was so sleepy and groggy, that I didn't remember her talking to me. When I was taken in to OR, I asked Dr. Quinn why she didn't come by, but she said she knew I wouldn't remember since I had been so sleepy! Any way, once the anesthesiologist comes by, you know it's almost time to be transported to OR! Sure enough, here we go! Here I am in OR with Saba - I had asked to have a mist cup put on my trache, since I didn't have that @ the hotel the night before. If I don't have the mist cup for a while, I end up waking up from the anesthesia w/phlegm and yucky, scratchy throat! Course before the nurses put me under, I must run to the bathroom once more! Also we mentioned to Dr. Quinn that I had a minor bleed in my mouth earlier and Dr. Yakes came over to talk to me about this as well! I was telling Dr. Yakes that as I kissed him on the cheek, I started bleeding from inside my mouth. He replies with, "Yeah, I seem to have that affect on women"! I asked him to please not work in my mouth because I haven't worked w/the therabite lately due to so much swelling and pain from the procedure before! Next thing I remember is opening my eyes and I could see Dr. Quinn and an OR nurse and someone else all standing over me trying to do something! I think I had a bleed right after the embolization, so I'm sure the Dr. and nurses were trying to suction out the blood so I wouldn't choke! I didn't want to think about what was going on, instead, feeling like I stepped away from what was happenning, I started praying Hail Mary's and Our Fathers to stay calm and not get anxious! I later woke up in post op and tried to lay on my side since my back hurt so much from laying flat on the bed - as I usually sleep with pillows under my knees for back support! I did not want ice chips, I just wanted something for the pain and to rest! The nurses told me they called Mark and he would be over from the hotel in a bit! Dr. Yakes had done a groin stick, so I had to keep my leg straight for a long time! Next thing I know, it was time to take me to a room!! Last couple of times I've been @ Swedish I haven't had a private room w/a shower - I had to stay like in CCU area or something of that sort! Mark showed up pretty soon after I got put in a room. I usually try to hoist myself over to the bed from the bed I was on in OR - but not this time! Dr. Yakes hit me with 30cc's of alcohol and I think the most he had ever used before was maybe 24 or 26. I still had an hour before I could get up or bend my leg, so I just closed my eyes and rested. Still didn't even want ice chips or anything! Many times I wake up and am raring to go, asking for food since I have to fast! Not this time - the whole procedure took it out of me! I had also asked the OR nurse to please change my IV from my right wrist to my left while I was under so it wouldn't hurt! Well, she did, but I didn't realize until later that they still kept in the one that was hurting on my right wrist!
One of my favorite nurses stopped by later to say hello! Dave LaBadie was one of the original "dream team" I had for my first embolization ever w/Dr. Yakes! Dave had a new nurse with him named Jason, so here I am w/both of them!
The next morning, Dr. Yakes new P.A., Mandy came by to give me my discharge papers and prescriptions! Mark had showed up earlier and brought me a White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks and some "sticky buns" from Safeway! Sadly we forgot to bring it w/me since I didn't finish the roll! Darn! We dropped off and waited for my meds @ Wallgreens and then headed to the hotel to repack everything! Had to head toward Enterprise to return the car rental after Mark topped it off w/gas! Got on the plane @ the airport and headed for home! Got in 'bout 10 p.m. and we headed out to Rockport the next morning to pick up our little Hanz! Jim took all of us out for breakfast, along with their friends Linda and Buddy! Hanz adores Linda - he almost jumps out our car window to get to her when we arrive @ their place!
Jim told us Hanz had been chasing their cows along side the fence! I'm the one that is sad to leave Hanz behind, but Shelley told me Hanz loved running through the backyard through the wet grass due to the recent rains! She was nice enough to bathe Hanz before we arrived - he must have been slobbered and slimed by his girlfriend Bessie, one of Jim and Shelley's outside dogs! I'm sure Hanz was just muddy from running around outside - Mark and I lovingly refer to Jim and Shelley's as Chuck E Cheese for dogs, because Hanz is happy to have other dogs to play with and get all that energy out!
Well, I may add a little here or there, but this was pretty much our trip this time! The weather was great - maybe just needing a light jacket for evening! I'm guessing my next trip will be late November! Take Care y'all! Thanks for all your love, prayers and support! I must tell you though, how amazing Mark is during these trips! He is sooo patient and comforting to me - he is exactly what I need to get through these tough times! I know that no matter what I have to go through or what I will look like in the end, Mark will always be by my side, loving me and supporting me all the way! We both dream of the day this is all behind us and we can continue to move forward in a more "normal" manner, along with our furry child, Hanz! Hanz has such an amazing personality and energy that he is a wonderful distraction for me from all this avm poop! We always like to say that Hanz rescued us - he's one special little dog! I'll be in touch!
Oh! You must check in to see Shalon's website! You can get to her site from mine and click on the one that says Shalon's website, because she also has a blog! Well, scroll down half way down the page on the right side of the screen until you see where she wrote Grody pictures! The first photo is of some cupcakes, but just keep watching the slide show to see photos of Shalon's debulking! I can't imagine how Dr. Hepworth and Dr. Campana could tell what was avm or whatever else was going on in there! To our eyes, it looks like red blobs with wires that were removed from Shalon's face and she already looks fabulous! She was put back togther and had a drain pump for excess fluids that Dr. Hepworth removed a few days later! Can't wait to see how well she looks once her swelling goes down! That will be me some day! I'm very excited for Shalon - she is awesome!

- ADMINISTRATION: Maintain separate identity of the BDO. BDO'S establishment should have a clear demarcation and BDO's chamber should be located in such a manner so that the earstwhile RD set-up and sections like Election, Establishment are accommodated as closely as possible for a better monitoring and access. When you take charge as a BDO you should verify:
- that there is no expenditure pending for entry in the concerned Cash Book.
- that the amount of Closing Balance in both the cash books in conformity with the concerned statement of the details of Cash Analysis (item-wise Account);
- that re-conciliation of PL Account and Bank Passbook, if any, is up-to-date and there is no discrepancy between the balance in cash books and that in pass book.
- the Advance Registers and Stock Registers are properly maintained and the entries are duly authenticated ( sample check if cent percent verification is not possible should be conducted physically).
- that the Dead Stock Register is up-to-date and duly authenticated.
- With Office Staff :- You may find a number of vacancies in your Office. Sometimes you may not have Block Livelihood Development Officer and as such the Block Relief Officer may be dealing with Self-help Group matters. So proper distribution of work among available officials is very important. Review the performance at least once in a month, in the form of monthly conference, appreciate the achievement openly. Discuss privately about the failure, evolve a mechanism to rectify and if it is still does not work take steps against the erring officials. The Office staff should be treated as your family members and yourself as the Head of the family. Deal at par with them to begin with and if you feel that some are not dependable at all, so far as the official duty is concerned, isolate them gradually from the main stream and take a separate course for them.
- With Yourself :- Be punctual in your action. Address each and every problem concerning the Office. If you are sure that some issues would not be resolve at your level take up with the Sub Divisional Officer and the District Magistrate. The Superior Officers should not be disturb unnecessarily. They should how ever be posted in all such matters which require so under government rules and orders. You should normally seek help from the Panchayat Samity or the Zilla Parishad when somebody within the Institution appears to spoil public interest.
- With People :- Be a good Public Relation Officer. Establish a good and clean rapport with the leaders of various organisations including political organisation. Your dealing with them should have a sincere positive approach. Everybody in your office, on the other hand, should be confident about your impartiality and integrity. Common people should also have direct access to you to a considerable extent.
- For meeting :- You may require a series of meetings. You are the convenor of some of the meetings and invitee of some others. When you are the convenor you must attend the such meetings. When you are an invitee you must not miss those meetings which are scheduled to be address by the Sabhadhipati or by the D.M. or an A.D.M or by the S.D.O. When you decide to attend a meeting reach the venue at least ten minutes ahead without fail. When you find it inconvenient select a suitable official to represent you in the meeting with all relevant facts and figures in time.
- With Block Officers :- Prepare yourself as the leader of all Govt. Officers posted within the Block. Maintain a good rapport with such officers like the Block Medical Officer of Health or the O.C. of local Police Station. Give a patient and positive hearing to their problems and try your best to sort out even there personal problems as far as practicable.
- PANCHAYAT SAMITY MATTER :-The Sabhapati of Panchayat Smaity is your nearest key person. It is essential to have mutual respect, trust and co-operation between these to important office bearers. Under the Panchayati Raj system the Panchayat Samity is require to frame broad principles for its works, adopt programmes and schemes, mobilized fund, examine expenditure etc. Being the executive officers it is your responsibility to look after the entire state of affair, co-ordinate inter-departmental activities and try your best to reach the target in all spheres within stipulated time.
Ensure that meetings of the Panchayat Samiti General Body and the of the Standing Committees are held regularly. Preparation of Annual Action Plan, list of beneficiaries under various programmes, priority list of works etc. should be considered and accepted in the concerned forum well ahead so that as soon as fund is available the Executive Officer can undertake the execution of the scheme. Subsequently, review of work and expenditure should take place. Statement of receipt and expenditure of the Panchayat Samiti should be placed in the meeting of the Artha Sthayee Samity once in every three months for examination and approval. You should remain present personally in such meetings and also in the Panchayat Samiti meeting so that any querry is well clarified. It helps the elected members to get inform about the proceeding and they in turn, will remain, confident about your action. In other meeting respective Extension Officers must attend and inform you about the proceedings at the earliest opportunity. It may here be noted that in the Panchayat Samiti meetings you remain present as the B.D.O. You should undertake field visits in respect of at least 50% of the Panchayat Samiti Schemes. Take the Sabhapati with you as much as possible.
- HELPING GRAM PANCHAYATS: Gram Panchayats are the other important institutions. In fact, almost all activities of the Panchayat Samiti are originated from the Gram Panchayat level. They are also translated into action at this end. Besides, the Gram Panchayats have independent function as well. Unfortunately, the Gram Panchayat is not well equipped to bear the burden always on its own. The B.D.O. may also consist a team of officials for periodical visit at the Gram Panchayats in order to remove various short comings on the spot or to provide necessary guidance to the Gram Panchayats to evolve a simple but proper system of work including maintenance and updating of various records and Registers and maintain conformity with other Gram Panchayats within the Block. You should verify them and refresh them about the procedure as well with or without prior intimation of your visit. You should specifically instruct the Panchayat Development Officer ( directly or through the District Panchayat and Rural Development Officer) to insert some specific information (about cash in hand, amount of advance, maintenance of cash books and scheme registers etc. on a particular date) in his audit report. If you find any irregularity, the Gram Panchayat Pradhan be advised for rectification. If any mala fide intention or gross irregularity is detected in course of your visit or in the Audit Report the Gram Panchayat Pradhan should be warned and then reported it against.
- CONFINEMENT :- We all should believe in the philosophy of the write to information and use it as a strategy to reach the goal. Do not suppress any official information unless it is strictly confidential. Moreover, when somebody may have the access to it and thereby misuse it left everybody know about each and every development of your office management, procurement of materials and expenditure, procedure of executing development programme and schemes. The elected people in particular and common people in general will not be in any doubt when they will feel that nothing is under the carpet. There will be hardly any misunderstanding between you and others around you.
- HANDLING OF ACCOUNTS :- Do not allow to put extra spot in the office accounts like bill, vouchers etc. If it is Measurement Book(MB) the concerned Sub-Assistant Engineer(SAE) will enter details of the scheme and the materials and wage components actually involved. Thereafter the Accountant-cum-Head Clerk will check it before you pass the expenditure for payment. You can insist on recording of balance of fund on the body of all bills so that over-payment is avoided . Whenever you pass a bill, pen through it and when you authenticate the payment in the cash book put a stamp bearing PAID on the bill and sign it. Prepare monthly account of all expenditure separately by Block and Panchyat Samity, compare it with the closing balance in the cash book. Place the statement for Panchyat Samity in the meeting as mentioned earlier.
- DEPENDANCE ON CERTAIN MATTER :-Do not allow anybody to influence you when a National programme like election or census is undertaken. Go by rules and orders mechanically. It should also be the same when you perform the magisterial duty or conduct an enquiry. Do not delay in the case of sending reports and returns. Maintain the time schedule very strictly. If somebody fails to contribute his part send the incomplete report.
- MISUSE OF VEHCILES :- Do not engage normally more than one vehicle at a time. When there is no Govt. vehicle at your disposal or the vehicle available is not roadworthy permission from the District Magistrate to hire a vehicle should be obtained, whether or not the expenditure is to be born by Panchayat Samity. There should not be any vehicle for an individual office-bearer or Govt. Officials exclusively for his or her use. The vehicle should be under the control of BDO or the Executive Officer of Panchayat Samity.
Normally presence of both Sabhapati and B.D.O. is required in many meetings at Sub-Division at District. Travel together in such cases. If there is any official appointment of urgent nature of the Sabhapati alone, adjust your outdoor work as much as possible and provide the vehicle for the appointment. Importance Scheme-visit in a team by your staff may also be adjusted similarly. Spending of fund indiscriminately for vehicle and fuel out of the Panchayat Samity fund available under government programme is irregular. It can not be regularize by a Panchayat Samity resolution either.
- COMPETITION :-Do not go for any mad race with the Sabhapati. If a better understanding is develop such thing does not arise. If it is not so, try your level best to bring the things in order. If it is still not evident, work on Panchayat Samity resolutions and decisions only two deal with the Panchayat Samity matters. For the purpose, you should ensure regular meetings of Panchayat Samity where you should attend and explain the issue so that resolutions are adopted properly and they are fit for better public interest.
- UNDERMINING THE ROLE OF PREDECESSORS :- The convention set up by your predecessors may not appear suitable for you or you may find lacuna in the system. Similarly, you may find some decisions taken earlier will not yield better result from Government's viewpoint. Check up with relevant rules and orders and prepare yourself for a gradual change. Do not openly criticize your predecessors or entertain such criticism by others to take place in your presence. Such a trend leads to make people critical about everything and develop negative atmosphere. Gross irregularity if detected any if it may amount to defalcation, go through the details personally to be sure about the reported fact, and , after being satisfied about the gravity of the case beyond any doubt, report to your superior officers with all details.
CONCLUSIONS :- As a B.D.O. you should not consider yourself isolated. It is you who will administer and manage the institution and its resources (also of the Panchayat Samity as the Executive Officer ) since you are responsible for their use and maintenance both during the Audit and to the Government you have a term of experienced staff and officers with you to work. You are in a better position to deliver good to the people more effectively than others. The Panchayati Raj and the D.M. or the S.D.O. may also help you a lot to consolidate your position in discharging official duties in a positive manner.

Buckland (fourth from right) and his teammates celebrate their silver medals (photo courtesy Rowing Australia).
LUCERNE, Switzerland—Former Radcliffe rowers Esther Lofgren'08-09 and Laura Larsen-Strecker '08 helped the United States women's eight win the gold medal at the Rowing World Cup in over the weekend. Former Harvard oarsman Brodie Buckland '06 earned a silver medal with the Australian men's eight.
The U.S. women rallied past Canada in the final 500 meters of Sunday's final to take gold in their only competition of the 2010 Rowing World Cup series. Lofgren occupied the stroke seat of the U.S. boat throughout the competition, and Larsen-Strecker rowed in the two seat in Friday's heat victory.
In the final, the U.S. boat trailed the Canadians and the bronze-winning British for the first half race, hitting the 1,000-meter mark nearly two second back. The Americans, however, remained calm and efficient, understroking Canada throughout the race, often by more than two strokes per minute. They passed Great Britain and gained on Canada in the third 500 meters and completed the comeback in the final 500, winning by one-fifth of a second in 6:12.19.
Larsen-Strecker helped the U.S. eight open the competition by winning its heat by more than five seconds Friday.
Buckland and the Australian men made a comeback of their own to snag silver.

The Aussies also finished behind the Germans in Friday's heat before winning Saturday's repechage.
Malcolm Howard '05 also had a strong showing for Canada in the men's single, placing fourth in a field that featured the top single scullers in the world. He improved his position in each of the three Rowing World Cup competitions, missing a medal in Lucerne by 2.64 seconds in 7:00.82.
Henrik Rummel '09 rowed on the U.S. men's four that took sixth place in its final Sunday, finishing in 6:01.71. The boat reached the final with a heat win and a third-place showing in its repechage.

The DealComments
I'm not prepared to make a sweeping judgment of the deal Obama worked out with Republicans over the fiscal slow incline. Obviously there's some major problems with it. Higher taxes should probably start at less than $250,000 and certainly not $400,000. It only buys us 3 months before yet another round of absurdity over the debt ceiling (let's hope something on immigration can get done before then. I'm skeptical since the Republicans are going to try and reject nearly every one of Obama's cabinet nominations). On the other hand, rich people will pay more in taxes and cuts to social programs were avoided.
I do think though that Michael Cohen's piece blaming the entire mess on Republican extremism makes sense.
Was it worth risking austerity policies that squeeze the middle class simply to lock in even higher tax revenues? Perhaps. People can certainly disagree, and personally, I'm not completely sold on my own rosy take. But when you're dealing with House Republicans, who could have very easily passed a tax cut bill after going over the cliff that ignored EITC or unemployment insurance, or even set the tax threshold at $500,000 and dared Democrats in the Senate to block it, I find it very difficult to criticize the president too harshly.
In the end, Obama went with the bird-in-hand of a certain deal. Arguing that he could have gotten a better agreement had he held out sounds reasonable, but it ignores the potential obstacles in dealing with a political party that has no interest in the plight of working people or the responsibilities that come with running a large country.
And the consider this: about two weeks ago, the left was up in arms over the possibility of benefit cuts to social security and Medicare. None of that happened – the country's social insurance programs will remain largely untouched. At least, for the time being.
In fact, when one looks at the likely deal that will resolve this latest fiscal crisis, it is only further evidence of the GOP's utter hypocrisy on fiscal matters. Consider the major concessions the Republicans got from Obama: a less onerous change in estate taxes, which most directly affect the wealthiest Americans, and a tax break for those making between $250,000 and $400,000.
That's right: we fought this entire battle so Republicans could make it harder for rich people to avoid paying more of their fair share in taxes.
A party that has made deficit reduction its clarion call, and in particular, reducing the size of government spending, appears to have received virtually nothing in the way of major spending cuts in this deal or deficit reduction for that matter. When push came to shove, reducing tax burdens was all that mattered to the GOP.
Of course, this result is neither startling nor unexpected, at least to those who have paid close attention to the Republican party over the last four years. It is ironic that on the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, a party that was formed by courageous slavery abolitionists has become, 150 years later, a party that is courageously fighting to ensure that wealthy Americans do not pay one penny more in taxes.
Like Cohen, it's really hard for me to have a rosy view of the American future so long as one party (either really) takes a position that it will completely shut down the country for political purposes. I don't know how this ends either, not with the science of redistricting ensuring Republican control in many states they receive the minority of votes, the very real possibility of Republican-led states changing election laws to split up their electoral votes before 2016, and an increasingly radical agenda. In the longer term, I feel better knowing that people of my generation and younger are beginning to play a larger role in politics. I may well be too optimistic here.
So why the bad taste in progressives' mouths? It has less to do with where Obama ended up than with how he got there. He kept drawing lines in the sand, then erasing them and retreating to a new position. And his evident desire to have a deal before hitting the essentially innocuous fiscal cliff bodes very badly for the confrontation looming in a few weeks over the debt ceiling.
If Obama stands his ground in that confrontation, this deal won't look bad in retrospect. If he doesn't, yesterday will be seen as the day he began throwing away his presidency and the hopes of everyone who supported him.
Of course, I had no hope for Obama when I voted for him and I'm not sure why anyone would. We all knew what Obama was by November 2012 and there's no reason to think what we don't like about him will change. Voting is not a morality tale–it's a choice of who is less evil. That choice was clear. I'm not at all confident over his behavior in the debt ceiling. But at the very least, this bill does raise more revenue and taxes the rich more fairly without cutting social services. From a short-term view then, I guess this leans more toward a win. But short-term views aren't the most valuable and real judgment should be withheld until the debt ceiling it resolved.

Item Description
Letter, S. L. Adair to Rev. S. S. Jocelyn
Author: Adair, Samuel Lyle
Date: September 8, 1855
This long letter was written in Osawatomie to Jocelyn, who was Samuel Adair's contact with the American Missionary Association. The first three pages dealt with some disagreement over Adair's salary and support that was to be provided by the association, his efforts on behalf of religion, and prospects for a "union" church building that would be shared by several denominations. The last page discussed economic conditions in Kansas Territory and the difficulty of getting items to Kansas either via the Missouri River or by overland freighting from St. Louis. This appears to be a draft of a letter sent to Jocelyn.

George Hillis Newlove THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN (EMERITUS)
"Changes are coming from within and from without, and concern over how to handle changes being pressed by divergent forces pervaded the 96th annual gathering of commercial bankers."1 The idea of change affects all business and related professions. This short article suggests a few of the changes in business conditions that materially affected the evolution of accounting in hope that accounting historians will emphasize why changes in accounting occurred as well as when they were developed.
Household Economy as Factory Economy. During the reigns of the Tudors in England, the members of the Guilds took materials to their homes, where they spun yarn and were paid by businessmen (usu-ally piece-rate) upon the delivery of the yarn. The businessmen needed to know that they were receiving all the yarn they were due for the material supplied to the workers, therefore, "standards of material cost" were developed early in the evolution of cost ac-counting.2
As factory manufacture developed, the efficient use of the factory space and equipment became so important that production engi-neers developed "scientific management." The most prominent of these production engineers developed incentive methods of paying labor costs; these wage systems were named after the engineer who developed them.3
S. P. Garner wrote that in 1887 "Garcke and Fells4 showed a thorough understanding of the accounting for materials, and that their system has been little improved on since that time ... however, they were not so clear on the handling of overhead."5 Garcke and Fells also treated very carefully the flow of labor costs through the ledger accounts, and were among the earliest cost accountants to recommend a strict tie-in between the cost accounts and the general accounts.6
Most of the voluminous writings of the production engineers who developed the subject Scientific Management, are found in the

Picture: Hilary Mantel - Costa Book Award Winners - photocall London United Kingdom Tuesday 29th January 2013
Award-winning British author Hilary Mantel has sparked outrage in the U.K. by labelling Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge a "plastic princess" and likening the royal to a "shop-window mannequin".
During a lecture for the London Review of Books, the Booker Prize-winning novelist launched a scathing criticism of Prince William's wife, branding her a "jointed doll on which certain rags are hung" with "no personality of her own" and insisting she appears to have been "designed by committee and built by craftsmen, with a perfect plastic smile".
The comments hit headlines in the U.K. on Tuesday (19Feb13) and prompted a furious response from British Prime Minister David Cameron, who branded Mantel's remarks "misguided".
He says, "What I've seen of Princess Kate at public events, at the Olympics and elsewhere is this is someone who's bright, who's engaging, who's a fantastic ambassador for Britain. We should be proud of that, rather than make these rather misguided remarks... (Mantel) writes great books... (but) what she's said... is completely misguided."
A number of celebrities have also waded into the debate, with Tv newsman Piers Morgan calling Mantel's review of the Duchess "painfully vile" in a post on his Twitter.com page, while Duran Duran star Simon Le Bon urges fans to read a transcript of the entire lecture, writing, "Hilary Mantel's Royal Bodies lecture... It's no assassination of Kate; rather a cold look at our attitude to Royalty."
The lecture notes were released on the day of the pregnant royal's first official public engagement of 2013, visiting a rehab centre in London.

Economists at UCLA are predicting that California will grow at a faster rate than the rest of the country in 2014, the university said Wednesday.
In its quarterly Anderson Forecast, the school said that the state's fiscal condition will be boosted at least in the short term by last month's passage of a ballot initiative to temporarily increase income taxes on the state's highest earners. Sales tax will also be increased temporarily.
However, Jerry Nickelsburg, the senior economist for the report, said that the state still needs to address its long-term economic needs and budgeting issues. Those concerns were not addressed in the budgeting measure, which had been listed as Proposition 30 on last month's general election ballot.
The report predicted that employment in the state would grow 1.3 percent next year, and 2.4 percent in 2014. By the end of 2014, the report said, unemployment in California would be about 8.4 percent.
By contrast, the report predicted that the national unemployment rate would drop to 7.2 percent by that time.
Nickelsburg also wrote in the report that inflation would top 2 percent nationally in 2014, possibly bringing an end to the Federal Reserve Bank's zero-percent interest rate policy.

Register Of Interests Of Members' Secretaries And Research Assistants [as at 28 July 2011]
Purpose and Form of the Register
In accordance with Resolutions made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985 and 28 June 1993, holders of photo-identity passes as Members' secretaries or research assistants are in essence required to register:
· Any occupation or employment for which they receive over £329 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by their pass.
· Any gift (eg: jewellery) or benefit (eg: hospitality, services or facilities) they receive in the course of a calendar year, if the value of the gift or benefit exceeds £329 and if it in any way relates to or arises from their work in Parliament.
In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member's surname. Section 2 contains exactly the same information but entries are instead listed according to the sponsoring Member's name.
Administration of the Register
The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is usually published every 4-6 weeks when the House is sitting.
Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards and Privileges, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented.
Complaints, whether from Members, the public or anyone else alleging that a staff member is in breach of the rules governing the Register, should in the first instance be sent to the Registrar of Members' Interests in the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. The Registrar will then seek to resolve the complaint, though in serious cases the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may seek the agreement of the Committee on Standards and Privileges to undertake a formal investigation.
In minor cases of infringement, the Commissioner may, at his discretion, apply the rectification procedure. Under this, a late entry is printed in bold italics in the Register for 12 months from its first appearing. More major cases may be the subject of formal investigation and will be reported to the Committee on Standards and Privileges.
Information and advice about the Register and the rules governing it

"House Crashers" host Josh Temple ambushes Littleton couple
Josh Temple loves Denver.
The general contractor and host of "House Crashers" on the DIY Network passed through the Mile High City earlier this month to shoot an episode of that "ambush makeover" show.
In it, Temple works with Littleton homeowners Ryan Runyan and Ashley Cannon to complete a renovation project. The episode is scheduled to air later this year.

Honduras' Interim Government Falls Into Zelaya's Trap
Once again, and as a response to the return of deposed president Manuel Zelaya to Tegucigalpa, the interim government of Honduras has overreacted by decreeing a 45‐day suspension of constitutional guarantees such as the freedom to move around the country and the right to assemble. The government is even imposing some restrictions on freedom of the press. More disturbingly, today the army shut down a radio station and a TV station supportive of Zelaya.
As I've written before, these measures are unnecessary, counterproductive and unjustified. While Zelaya's supporters are known for repeatedly relying on violence, their actions have been so far contained by the police and the army. Zelaya himself is secluded at the Brazilian Embassy, and while he is using it as a command center to make constant calls for insurrection, the authorities have so far been in control of the situation.
One of the most troubling aspects of the suspension of constitutional guarantees is that they effectively obstruct the development of a clean, free, and transparent election process. Let's remember that Honduras is holding a presidential election on November 29th, and many regard this electoral process as the best way to solve the country's political impasse, particularly at an international level.
There can't be a free and transparent presidential election while basic constitutional rights have been suspended. By adopting these self‐defeating measures, the interim government of Honduras is lending a hand to Zelaya and his international allies in their effort to disrupt the country's election process.

EXCLUSIVE: UK firm acquires international rights to Anna Broinowski's North Korean cinema documentary [pictured].
Carey Fitzgerald's High Point Media Group has acquired international rights to Anna Broinowski's Aim High in Creation.
Broinowski's documentary sees the acclaimed filmmaker explore North Korean cinema and develop a short film according to exact principles dictated by the late "Dear Leader", Kim Jong Il.
Produced by Lizzette Atkins of Unicorn Films, the film is financed through Screen Australia, Film Victoria, the MIFF Premiere Fund with an Australian theatrical release to be scheduled through Antidote Films.
High Point's director of acquisitions, Piers Nightingale, commented: "Uniquely daring on just about every level, Aim High in Creation takes us on an extraordinary sideways journey into one of the most hermetically sealed, headline-grabbing nations on the planet. We're always on the look out for striking originality, so we're thrilled to be working with the highly talented Anna and Lizzette on this remarkable film."
"Full of 'lost in translation' moments, Aim High in Creation is a revolutionary comedy about propaganda but at its heart it is a deeply moving story about the humanity which binds us together across cultures and ideology," added Atkins.
The film is currently in post-production and will receive its world premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival, which runs July 25-Aug 11.

Ark. House panel backs Beebe's grocery tax cut
Gov. Mike Beebe's proposal to conditionally reduce the state's grocery tax has won approval from an Arkansas House committee.
The House Revenue and Taxation Committee voted on Friday to pass the measure, which would reduce the grocery tax only if the state's desegregation settlement payments or bond obligations decrease by $35 million over a six-month period. If those conditions are met, the grocery tax would be reduced from 1.5 percent to 0.125 percent.
Republican legislative leaders are negotiating over a separate $100 million package of tax cuts, which is expected to include reductions in the state income and capital gains tax. Beebe, a Democrat, has said there isn't room in his budget for additional cuts, but said savings from a proposal to expand healthcare coverage could fund some reductions.

Sterling Futon Cover Details:
Sterling Futon Cover is soft textured material with a weight and substance that is sure to make it last for years. An excellent material for a futon sustaining heavy use, Sterling Futon Cover is an excellent choice for pet owners and parents alike.
Sterling Futon Cover Specifications:
- 100% Poly
- Washable
IMPORTANT NOTE: Sterling Futon Cover is a custom product made to order. This particular product is NOT returnable or exchangeable. Please ensure your size and options before completing checkout.
"All-Around" Details:
There are sometimes additional fabric options offered with certain futon covers. If you see additional fabric options that mention an "all-around" option, then this futon cover is one of those.
With a less expensive complimentary fabric, you will pay less for your futon cover. The complementary material will make up the sides and back of your new futon cover and will either match or compliment the primary material that you have selected to be on the top portion of the futon cover.
The other option is referred to an all-around cut. Opting for all-around will generally add more years of life to your chosen pattern. With an all-around cut, you can flip your futon to use both sides evenly, potentially doubling the life of your cover's primary material.
Another advantage to selecting an all-around has to do with flipping your futon mattress. Flipping your mattress on a regular basis will greatly extend its lifespan. If your cover is the same on both sides, each time you flip your futon, the primary material will still be facing up. This can make the all-around cut a very convenient option.
Shipping Estimate
Estimated to ship on or the business day after: .
On average most futon covers will take about 3-5 business days in transit. A few extra days is not uncommon so you should plan accordingly.
