The fourth annual Long Island Index reports that life on L.I. has not improved over the past four years. Why?
In the summer of 1999, I attended a real estate conference where the guest speaker was Pearl Kamer, economist for the Long Island Association. I asked her, "Is Long Island's economy more characteristic of capitalism or socialism?"
Kamer and the conference attendees seemed uncomfortable with the question. It was likely perceived as outlandish and irrelevant and, therefore, brushed aside.
An investigation into to this fundamental question might provide insight into why Long Island is suffering from economic and social problems typically associated with socialist-leaning economies, such as those in France, Italy, Mexico and South Africa.
Long Islanders have constantly heard that "overdevelopment," loss of "open space" and market failure are the villains, and therefore conclude that state and local governments must "correct" market failures by regulating and/or subsidizing "living" wages, "affordable" housing, "open space," business development, etc.
But what if Long Island's economy has actually become more characteristic of a socialist, government-planned economy? This would explain why the cost of living is so high and so many Islanders and businesses are fleeing.
Capitalism adheres to limited government regulation and minimal government employment, while Long Island has one of the most regulated economies in the U.S.: more than 600 government jurisdictions and over 18 percent of the Island workforce employed by the government (the national average is less than 10 percent).
Capitalism adheres to low taxes; Islanders are among the highest taxed citizens in the country.
Capitalism adheres to free market influences; on Long Island, government influences or controls much of the economy, including utilities, transportation, education, health care and, most importantly, real estate.
Capitalism adheres to strong individual property rights; on Long Island, individual property rights are weak and treated with contempt by over 110 village and town governments.
Capitalism adheres to market-oriented planning that adapts to change and seeks to manage growth. Populist local planning boards abhor change and seek to control growth across L.I.
What's the solution? Long Islanders must first recognize that L.I.'s economy has gravitated toward socialism and embraced anti-market, anti-growth policies, particularly the highly restrictive real estate market.

A lot of people have called Donald Trump a lot of names, and a 'boob' is almost certainly one of them. Rather than call him a name, however, this artist decided to take things a step further. She actually painted a shockingly excellent portrait of the Donald using just her boob.
Who is this woman? Why, that's YouTube prankster Davison. I happen to have met her a handful of times and we're Facebook friends, so I have a certain level of pride when posting about this. You may remember her as the girl who re-creates Dan Bilzerian pics on Instagram.
Or you may know her as the girl who did the Tinder/Hijab experiment.
This time around, Davison is showing off her artistic side with a beautiful portrait of the potential next president. 50% of the proceeds will go to the Breast Cancer charity of Trump's choosing. Not only is it hilarious, but it's for a good cause! Here's the video so you can see exactly how she did it.
Bless this woman. I can't wait to see what she does next.

This past week a definite stir was created when it was revealed that Cuban marvel Yuriorkis Gamboa had come out of the gates a slight favorite ahead of his April 14th date with former lightweight champion Brandon Rios.
Despite moving up to divisions from the featherweight class, odds makers apparently like Gamboa's speed and quickness to trouble Rios, who surely has some doubters after failing to make weight in his last contest with John Murray this past December, an act that would cost him the WBA crown he had been holding.
Getting his hands wrapped by trainer Robert Garcia this past weekend right before another brisk training session in Oxnard, California, Rios seemed indifferent when asked for his feelings on officially being tabbed an underdog heading into the fight.
"It doesn't bother me," stated the 25-year old Rios. "It's good. It's even better because I'm going to show the world. You think he's the favorite? It's alright. I'm going to show the world that I'm young and I'm ready for greatness. I love my job. It doesn't bother me at all."
"He's been dropped by featherweights," Rios stated bluntly. "He's never been dropped by a legitimate lightweight. A real lightweight, a hard-punching lightweight. He's going to feel that April 14th. The difference why he shouldn't have came up and why he should never have brought my name in his mouth.
Gamboa surely is a special talent but Rios was quick to bring up the fact that that his 30-year old foe has had moments of trouble with less physically-imposing fighters during his run at 126 pounds, including the likes of Orlando Salido, Marcos Ramirez, and Darling Jimenez, who all knocked him down their respective tussles.
"People think Brandon is just a forward guy, no skills, no nothing; they don't understand, they're not in the ring and they don't know how I do. They're going to find out. They're going to see something different," Rios would add.
If the fight comes down to a bit of a cat and mouse type of chase, Rios surely would welcome it, bringing up his September 2010 and February 2011 victories over Anthony Peterson and Miguel Acosta. Those two fighters had troubled Rios early by boxing and moving but eventually folded under the pressure and debilitating attack of the Garden City, Kansas native.
"Yes, Peterson came out perfect, he came out good, I broke him down," said a reflective Rios. "Acosta, he came out good, he came out perfect, I broke him down. When you break down fighters like that, those type of fighters, I just don't see why they have me as the underdog. They don't see me as a serious fighter. I'm going to show the world there's nothing different, [he's] just a smaller guy."
It was alarming to see Rios weigh in for his December 3rd bout with Murray. Initially weighing .6 pounds over the lightweight limit of 135 pounds, Rios looked gaunt and dehydrated as he hit the scales.
Rios is a huge lightweight and with his body growing, an eventual move to the junior welterweight class is just around the corner. But one more visit to 135 pounds must be in order to secure the Gamboa fight and it's something Rios feels he will be able to accomplish comfortably this time around.
For the Murray fight, Rios had to travel to the city of Temoaya, Mexico, as he trained alongside his friend and stable mate Antonio Margarito, whose rematch with Miguel Cotto served as the main event on the same evening as the Murray scrap.
Rios feels the back and forthing between Oxnard and Mexico threw him off and he's simply happy to be locked down at home this time around.
"Not only that, but I have my trainer," Rios stated, pointing to his close bond with Garcia.
"He's all mine this time. He's mine and he's working on me. And we're getting it down, whatever we need. Over there in Mexico, don't get me wrong, I loved it, the altitude was great, but it was a different thing. I think I train better at home and I train harder at home."

If permanent makeup — like the eyebrows Hameed had tattooed on — could change her face, why couldn't tattoos change her scars? And just like that, Hameed changed her own life. She covered her scars and for the first time, was able to see her face as she'd always wanted to. Now she helps other women with facial scarring do the same thing.
See below:
Her technique uses skin tone pigments on scar tissue to camouflage the discoloration. And it works. She received all the training she needed and now has clinics in Chicago and Toronto where she changes the lives of many women.
It is hard to imagine going through life feeling so unhappy about one's face. There is really no easy way to deal with that. I have no equivalent in my own life and can only empathize and imagine what that must feel like. What Hameed gives these women is hope again. It's the ability to go outside their home and feel confident. Is there anything better?
Tattoos and cosmetic surgery both get a bad rap and sometimes it's for a good reason. But this is the best use of this treatment I have ever heard of. Beauty isn't everything, it's true. And we all need to learn to live with our flaws and embrace them. But scarring is different and anything that can help restore self-esteem to women who need it is amazing in my book.
Talk about using your own pain to spread joy in the world. Truly, this is a beautiful thing. And some of her work, she even does for free. What a story.

Is it possible that the mythical gods of polytheistic Greece, Egypt, Assyria, etc. were actual people that lived shortly after the flood of Noah? The Last Nephilim is a work of historical fiction based upon the first chapters of the book of Genesis and several ancient apocryphal texts. The Bible presents the sons of Noah as monotheistic followers of the God of the universe. So how did their grandchildren end up reigning over polytheistic empires? What happened?
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
What If ancient myth contains more truth than we previously have imagined? Genesis, the first book of the Bible, describes a world dominated and influenced by giants. What if those giants were actually the deities worshipped in ancient cultures? The series "The Last Nephilim" explores this fascinating idea, calling upon many ancient traditions to inform a richly imaginative idea of how myth and the Bible might intersect.

The "natural trend" has been spreading from food, textiles to cosmetics becoming an essential marketing positioning and communications tool for both major and smaller players. By far, cosmetics is one of the industries which has been most influenced by this trend. We are being taught about the negative effects of parabens, phenoxyethanol, phtalates, artificial colorings, aluminium etc.
For years, advertising campaigns hail the "natural" features of various products from skin care, make up, hair care to oral care and deodorants. Nowadays, pharmacies have become the battle ground for all producers natural or traditional products alike. Consumers have been turning to pharmacies for professional advice when buying cosmetics.
As in all other sectors, the industry leaders are the ones which command the largest shelve space, as they can afford the additional listing costs which smaller brands can hardly meet. By far, the largest player which has been dominating cosmetics in pharmacies has been L'OREAL with its "active cosmetics" brands VICHY and LA ROCHE POSAY. Vichy's line spreads from a full range of body cosmetics to skin care, deodorants, sun lotions, thermal water sprays, most of them dermato cosmetics.
The second largest player in the pharmacies retail sector is PIERRE FABRE Group which specializes in natural and healthy cosmetics products with brands such as AVENE (full range of cosmetics made with thermal water), DUCRAY (dermato-cosmetic brand known for its hair and body care products) KLORANE (hair care products made with natural ingredients). Smaller companies such as L'OCCITANE or CAUDALIE which are exclusively producing natural cosmetics have been making their way onto shelves and corners within pharmacies.
However, despite the numerous positive features of natural cosmetics, there are also essential features which these natural products cannot compensate by eliminating traditional dermato cosmetics ingredients. The best examples of such products are deodorants and anti-wrinkle creams. By eliminating aluminium, an essential anti-perspirant ingredient, natural deodorants cannot offer the long term protection guaranteed by traditional deodorants (L'Occitane's Baux natural deodorant which is aluminium free, cannot compete with premium dermo cosmetic deodorants within the same price range, one of the best products being the Vichy Stress deodorant, guaranteed to offer 72 hour protection, of which the main ingredients contain two types of aluminium salts).
Another similar comparison is provided by anti wrinkle cosmetics. Natural products have not been proven to have the results as dermo cosmetic ones, several dermo cosmetic ingredients being essential for the effectiveness of the products. Hair care provides another example, with no natural products having the same results as traditional dermo cosmetic ones.
While the natural trend is here to stay and gain more ground in the near future, dermo cosmetic products cannot be discarded or ignored just because of their non-natural contents, many providing effects through ingredients and formulas developed through decades of research. Consumers are the only ones who can protect themselves by demanding more information on the products they purchase.

Leave A Message for President Obama
Your Words Count!
President Obama recently asked for all citizens to send him an audio, video or text message regarding the Fiscal Cliff.
The National Institute for Civil Discourse (NICD), a nonpartisan center for advocacy, research, and policy at the University of Arizona has partnered with San Francisco technology company, Evergram.com, to promote public discussion regarding the looming "Fiscal Cliff." http://fiscalcliff.evergram.com
A current headline-grabbing issue, the term "Fiscal Cliff" has become the popular catch phrase for the financial crisis the U.S. government faces at the end of 2012, when the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011 go into effect and the Bush-era tax cuts expire.
Chaired by former presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, the National Institute for Civil Discourse is committed to fostering an open exchange of ideas and expression of values that will lead to better problem-solving and more effective government.
Institute Board member Olympia Snowe has famously observed, "You can never solve a problem without talking to people with whom you disagree." With your help, the Institute can promote the frank, respectful and vigorous debate that has been our legacy and is our only hope for meeting the urgent challenges now facing America.
Citizens from the full breadth of the political spectrum are encouraged to exercise their First Amendment rights and participate in the political process by engaging in public discussion regarding potential implications of the impending financial crunch. The NICD encourages the public to document their own personal ideas, hopes, and views using Evergram, a cutting edge, new multi-media messaging platform.
As Institute Board member Richard Lugar stated in his concession speech, "One can be very conservative or very liberal and still have a bipartisan mindset. Such a mindset acknowledges that the other party is also patriotic and may have some good ideas."
The NICD will compile Evergram messages and deliver them to President Obama, where the best submissions will be curated and released to the public via various media outlets.
The public is invited to send messages to the President using this link: http://fiscalcliff.evergram.com.

Here is the cartoon that accompanies this essay.
No peace in first-century Palestine
Eyewitnesses of the war the Jews conducted against the Romans from 67 to 73 CE say that it was one of the most agonizing conflicts the world had ever known. Great suffering and great carnage was commonplace, ultimately ending in the deaths of 1.1 million, the vast majority of whom were Jews, as well as the capture and enslavement of 97,000 more, as well as the mass suicide at Masada of fighters with their families numbering 960.
The end of a man of peace
One cause of the war was thought to be the martyrdom of James the Lord's brother. In about 62, in the power vacuum after the sudden death of the procurator Festus and before his replacement Albinus arrived, the Jewish high priest brought James before the Sanhedrin, which condemned him to be stoned. The man who for a generation had sought to reconcile Christians and Jews, had earned the respect of both sides because of his piety. Someone nicknamed him "Old Camel Knees" due to the calluses from his constant kneeling in prayer.
The causes of war
Probably shortly before his death, James penned these words:
What causes fights and quarrels are you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God (4:1-4).
The old Sage was well aware that self-interested, self-absorbed men, men who were asking with wrong motives, adulterous men who had made themselves enemies of God, were the ones clamoring for a war with Rome. There could be no peace on earth when such men were setting the tone and driving the agenda of the nation. Yet there was still hope, for a different kind of men had the potential of steering the nation in a positive direction.
In an earlier paragraph James asks, "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom." He goes on to contrast such men with their counterparts: "but if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such 'wisdom' does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice" (3:13-16).
James could hardly have composed a better word picture of the rebels that brought about the great desolation of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. In Antiquities of the Jews, book 20, Josephus describes the self-appointed assassins called Sicarii:
…[T]hey grew bold and were a great affliction to the whole country…. They used violence with the people, and were very ready to plunder those that were weaker than themselves. And from that time it principally came to pass that our city was gravely disordered, and that all things grew worse and worse among us.
What makes for peace?
Turning his attention once again to the positive, James concludes, "but the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness" (3:17-18).
James was speaking from experience: the lifelong peacemaker had sown seeds possessing the potential of yielding a harvest of righteousness, and he called on others to do the same. But for peacemakers to sow such seeds, they must first begin by preparing their own hearts. They must make room for peace-seeds by rooting out any selfish ambition that they find there, replacing it with humility and purity of heart. Drawing near to God, they must offer themselves as his willing servants, ready to serve the needy, showing them kindness, mercy, impartiality, and sincere concern.
Two harvests
No one can force the growth of righteousness. All we can do is sow the seeds and trust the Lord of the harvest to multiply them. Will it be war or will it be peace? According to God's long-standing reproductive principle, whatever it is that we sow, that is what we will also reap.
Want to dive deeper?
For more on the life of James, see Eusebius of Caesarea, Church History 2.23.
Read over several times this section of the Letter of James: James 3:13-4:10. Do you think it is proper to apply this to the Jewish war? In the context, is James speaking of the attitude of Christians, or of the wayward course of the nation of Israel that led inexorably to the 70 CE destruction of Jerusalem? See also James 5:1-6 for a similarly ambiguous passage. Consult Plumptre's commentary (1890) on chapter 4 and chapter 5.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 9, 1912:
- "According to George F. Kunz, president of the American Scenic and Historical Preservation Society, Lawrence is to be recognized by that organization, for not only has Lawrence beautiful natural resources for parks, but there are many splendid chances for development. It was not for this purpose that Dr. Kunz came to Lawrence but to speak this evening at Fraser Hall on the subject of 'Precious Gems,' but 'Gems' are merely Dr. Kunz's business. He is interested in a large number of projects in New York City that stand for the conserving of natural beauty where possible and for the preservation of famous historical places."
- "'It's not Roosevelt talk there. They are all saying what a nice man Mr. Taft is and how he has not had his opportunity. Most of the men are too busy talking politics to do business. In fact there is not much business to be done. It's very quiet in the far east. The middle west is better.' That is what A. D. Weaver said this morning. He has just returned from an extended stay in New York City where he has been making purchases for his store here and naturally he found that politics are the topic of the hour there. Mr. Weaver made many beautiful purchases for his store here, including many ready-to-wear garments. He says that the skirt styles are still narrow -- in fact they are made narrower."

If Only Penn State Officials Had More Discretion
In today's Wall Street Journal, Bill McGurn blames Penn State's failure to react to Jerry Sandusky's pattern of molestation on university officials being given insufficient discretion. Wait, what? No, really:
How much better off we would be if we could address the real problem at State College -- to wit, senior college officials, including Paterno, reluctant to take real responsibility for those under them. In this, surely, the culture at Penn State is far from unique. At most of our modern campuses, we've replaced leadership with codes, judgment with zero tolerance, and standards of right and wrong with Who Am I To Judge -- and then we are shocked, shocked when scandal erupts.
At Hillsdale College, where this reporter has taught, President Larry Arnn says the increasing resort to complex codes deprives leaders of the discretion they need to make wise and fair decisions. "You can't write prudence and judgment into a code," says Mr. Arnn. "When a code tries to cover every possibility, it ends up shifting power from the college president and trustees to the compliance officers."
Is McGurn following the same story I am? If the compliance bureaucrats had gotten involved here, Jerry Sandusky would have been stopped. The problem is that Penn State officials bypassed their own human resources department, kept their trustees in the dark, and violated federal law in order to avoid a damaging story about child abuse.
The Penn State story is one about abuse of discretion. The Freeh Report paints a picture of a Penn State administrative structure that was more concerned about preserving the football program's reputation than about protecting children or following the law. What Penn State needs to do in the future is make sure its administrators follow the rules, not give them more discretion and hope they behave prudently.
Perhaps McGurn thinks the compliance bureaucracy has convinced university administrators that they have no personal responsibility to stand up against heinous behavior. But Joe Paterno was supposed to be a great example of a wise and upstanding college administrator. He gave millions back to Penn State and took great pride in his players' academic success. If even Paterno couldn't be counted on to do the right thing without oversight, then a model built on discretion isn't workable.
McGurn worries that the reaction to this scandal will be "new bouts of sensitivity training, new guidelines and regulations, and new compliance requirements." Let's hope so -- and let's hope that, this time, the football program actually has to follow them.

A suspect was shot in the chest today in South Boston after police said he fired on two officers investigating a report of someone selling crack cocaine.
Police came upon the scene on Old Colony Avenue and came upon the suspeted dealer not far away, police spokeswoman Cheryl Fiandaca said.
The suspect took off running at about 1 p.m., said Boston Police Superintendent in Chief Daniel Linskey.
"At some point during the foot pursuit, the individual raised a weapon and discharged it at the officers," Linskey said today during a briefing at the scene.
The suspect was shot in the chest, Linskey said. The two officers were not hit but were being treated for "stress" at Tufts Medical Center, he added. A gun and drugs were recovered at the scene, Linskey said.
"He's got a bullet in his chest, there is no exit wound," Linskey said of the suspect. "They didn't list him as critical, but that is a significant injury." The suspect was listed in stable condition, also at Tufts, Linskey added.
Linskey added "two or three rounds" were fired at police.
The person was shot at 371 Old Colony Avenue, Fiandaca said. The suspect's name has not been released, but he is know to police and is expected to be charged with assault with intent to murder and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Police have cordoned off the area at Preble Circle and officers can be seen searching the Joe Moakley Park just off the circle. Witnesses tell the Herald they heard "one to three shots."

A man pleaded guilty to charges that he robbed his Tacoma bank last year.
Robert Rios Jr., 55, entered a guilty plea to the lesser charge of first-degree theft, and was sentenced Jan. 25 to 90 days in custody, which he was set to start serving through home detention Feb. 8.
He was originally charged with first-degree robbery.
According to the original charging papers:
Rios entered the Chase Bank he uses near North 26th and North Pearl streets Nov. 19th, handed the teller a note that said "This is a robbie?" and insisted repeatedly he was not joking. She recognized him as a customer.
He was apologetic, she said. She gave him money and he left.
When officers found him nearby, he said he had messed up and asked them "How much did I get?"
Rios was ordered not to have any contact with Chase Bank.

VW will release an iPhone game for the new VW Polo in mid March.
Like the Audi A4 racing game launched last year, the Polo game takes advantage of the accelerometer in the iPhone and iPod Touch, letting you control your car by tilting the devices. Unlike that earlier game, the Polo game is in 3D.
The object of the game is to post winning times on all eight tracks. Each successive track is unlocked by a win on the current track, but the difficulty increases on each track. A soundtrack for the game is provided by German rock band Feinkost.

It was so quiet heading into the Twins' sixth inning, you felt like one of those guys in the foxhole in an old World War II movie. "Too quiet," I whispered to nobody. Within moments, the noise was ear-splitting.
The Twins' back-to-back homers by Michael Cuddyer and Justin Morneau had such a soul-shattering effect, manager Ken Macha came out quickly to replace Esteban Loaiza, who had been brilliant to that point. It suddenly feels as if the A's are behind, but it's 2-2 and in the hands of the bullpen.
Until that point, it seemed the A's had taken full command of the series. They got consecutive doubles by Nick Swisher and Marco Scutaro off Boof Bonser in the fifth, and these were crisp, line-drive shots, having nothing to do with any Metrodome weirdness. Then Jason Kendall singled home a run for 2-0, and it was feeling very much like an A's afternoon.
The way Loaiza was pitching, nobody could see that Cuddyer home run coming, but it was a bullet into the left-field seats off a hanging breaking pitch. Then came Morneau, touted as an MVP candidate in these parts (even among some of the Twins, who prefer him over capable teammate Joe Mauer) but rather quiet in the series. So much for that. Morneau put one in the upper deck in right field, and Loaiza's day was done.
It could have been worse. There was a runner on second, two out, when reliever Kiko Calero confronted shortstop Jason Bartlett. Calero's devastating slider is his "out" pitch, and after missing with a 1-2 fastball, he went to the well and fanned Bartlett convincingly.
Next time a run comes across, we shall meet again.

Levin '76's anthrax test will be used in case
of a major outbreak or terrorist attack. (Photo by Steve Nelson)
Before the outbreak of anthrax cases in the fall of
2001, the disease had not been a significant public-health problem
in the United States since the 1920s and 30s, when cases were reported
among wool workers. As a result, tests to diagnose anthrax had not
moved much beyond growing bacteria on a culture plate. "There
wasn't much anthrax around, and public-health infrastructure
and knowledge of this disease had faded," explains Andrew
Levin '76, chief executive officer and scientific director
of Immunetics, Inc., the Boston-based immuno-diagnostic company
he founded in 1987.
Within hours of the first recent confirmed case of anthrax, the
Centers for Disease Control asked Levin, who had developed diagnostic
tests for HIV and Lyme disease, whether he could develop a simple,
fast diagnostic test for anthrax — in other words, a test
to bring anthrax diagnostics into the modern world. At the time,
the tests being used were too slow in producing results, which could
prove disastrous should an epidemic occur.
"Anthrax is a tough problem because we don't want
to give inaccurate results that will scare people," Levin
says. "At the same time, we need something that is relatively
fast, does not take days to run, and would give a solid yes-or-no
result." His new diagnostic tool, which detects an immune
response to the disease by identifying antibodies in the blood,
combines the simplicity of a screening test with the accuracy of
a confirmatory test, merging what in the past had been two separate
The Federal Drug Administration approved the test in June. Now
Levin is working with the CDC to facilitate distribution of the
test around the U.S. through the Laboratory Response Network, a
group of 150 labs equipped to respond quickly in case of a terrorist
Levin, a biochemistry major with a Ph.D. in molecular biology
from the University of Wisconsin, realized during a postdoctoral
stint at Harvard University that he was more interested in the public-health
issues connected with infectious diseases than in basic research.
"I like the idea of trying to do something helpful and productive
in public health," Levin says. In addition to developing tests
for well-known diseases such as HIV, Lyme disease, and anthrax,
Levin's company has created tests for little-known Third World
diseases, including cysticercosis, a disease caused by a tapeworm.
The company currently is working on a test for severe acute respiratory
syndrome (SARS).
Levin believes that the field of diagnostics, which is a smaller
field than drug or vaccine development, is beginning to get more
attention, particularly as infectious diseases such as SARS and
West Nile virus cause public alarm. "People are beginning
to see that these things don't go away and every year brings
something new," he says.

WWE Obviously Not Very Serious About Pushing SheamusFebruary 1, 2010
A tables match set up by Jesse Ventura after a battle royal. Sheamus had just become the #1 contender for John Cena's WWE Title. The PPV was TLC and everyone thought this match was filler material.
Much to the chagrin of many WWE fans, their worst nightmare occurred when they flipped on Raw the next night to discover that the impossible happened.
It appeared from raw stills that Cena kind of fell through the table on his own. So I am left with one question. Was Sheamus supposed to become champion?
One can only ask this question simply because WWE seemingly has no plans for Sheamus to win or lose a single match clean since picking up the belt. All DQ's are beginning to get old and if I were Sheamus, I would be questioning my character.
Let us face reality now. The first time he loses clean in the center of the ring, he gets knocked back down to mid-card status where he should still be. I dare say if this does not happen until WrestleMania, he might be finished period in the WWE.
The doubters and haters will all draw the same conclusion. He was a kid pushed into the spotlight and he could not handle it all so fast. As a matter of fact, he had the kid in the candy store look in his eyes the first couple of weeks he carried the belt around.
I am not necessarily a fan of Sheamus, but even I cannot dispute that he has natural ability and he is a gifted athlete that stands out in a crowd. In other words, he can help the McMahon family make some bank and that is what it takes to make it in this business.
The article can be summed up quickly simply by saying: Please WWE, do something with Sheamus or knock him back down quickly. You are ruining his career every day you continue to allow the facade of him carrying WWE gold around his waist. Give him a couple of clean victories on Raw against former World Champions or strip his title at Elimination Chamber and allow a veteran to headline WrestleMania. You just have to have a good game plan or you will kill his career.

Gemalto introduced its Facebook SIM card in February 2011, giving feature-phone users the opportunity to access the social network from any type of handset, without data subscriptions or application downloads. And now, Facebook Messenger is part of the mix.
The digital security firm announced the addition of Messenger to its Facebook for SIM client/server SIM app for mobile operators, enabling users to launch the app automatically when turning on their handsets and begin chatting immediately.
Users will also receive interactive notifications on their screens when new messages arrive, and they can adjust their settings to sign in automatically.
Gemalto Senior Vice President of Mobile Solutions and Services Jean-François Schreiber said in a release announcing the addition of Messenger:
Facebook for SIM is achieving proven user engagement — on average six times higher than other mobile apps for non-data phones. The addition of Facebook Messenger will further strengthen its appeal, particularly to the younger generation in rapidly developing markets, where people who have a mobile phone widely outnumber those who have Internet access.
Readers: How many of you access Facebook via feature phones?

Building on a Good Idea
Because the City spends more than $40 million annually to dispose of refuse - $16 million of which is targeted for green waste disposal alone - the Van Norman project was somewhat born out of a desire to cut costs through innovation, according to Antoine Raphael, Program Manager for L.A.'s Solid Resources Collection Division.
'Municipalities must not be afraid to shed old ideas in favor of innovative ones,' he says. 'Just because you've been doing things one way for a long time does not mean you are locked into doing it that way forever.'
'We obviously wanted a way to bring those disposal costs down,' adds John de la Rosa, Manager of the Bureau of Sanitation Solid Resources Collection Division, 'and we had some ideas from which to pull. Since late 1993, the Street Tree Division of the Bureau of Street Services (Street Services) had been operating a program which took tree trimmings and brush collected by City crews and created a spread-ready mulch for use as a weed abatement and moisture retention agent at a site owned by the Department of Water and Power (DWP). It was simple in design, but it nevertheless saved the City $300,000 the first year and paved the way for us to develop the program further.'
That initial step was a joint venture between Street Services and the DWP. As a part of that agreement, Street Services agreed to process the DWP's tree trimmings in exchange for land at their Van Norman Reservoir on which the recycling program could be better implemented. As a result of that agreement, DWP was able to save better than $275,000 a year in disposal costs. The final piece which made the project what it is today involved yet another venture, this time with the Bureau of Sanitation which collects yard trimmings from approximately 720,000 homes in the metropolitan area.
Explains Raphael: 'At that time, in 1997, we were paying commercial contractors anywhere from $30 to $40 per ton to take the material off our hands so that seemed a very good place to improve the system. So, in January of 1998 we set the Project into motion, though in its infancy it looked very little like what we have in place today.'
Tools to Do it Right
While Raphael is extremely proud of the effort put forth by everyone involved in the Van Norman project - management and onsite personnel alike - he is equally quick to point out that the program's success is also due in large part to the ability of the onsite equipment to generate the volumes of mulch needed.
'When we started in earnest in 1998, we were taking in material, laying it on the ground and picking and sorting through it by hand. It's important to note that, at this point, there was no money or budget allocated for an operation such as this. That was when we contacted grinder manufacturer Morbark, Inc. (Winn, MI). We negotiated an agreement that was perfectly suited to our situation at the time. We discussed our processing needs and the equipment needed to make it happen and Morbark was willing to give us the equipment on a cost-free, trial basis for six months. The agreement simply stated that if the project panned out as we anticipated, we would purchase the equipment - if not, there was no commitment on the part of the city to buy the equipment. It was a win win situation for us.'
The equipment in question included a Morbark 1300 tub grinder, a Morbark Model 737 trommel screen and a Morbark picking station. 'There's little doubt that being able to start out in that manner played a key role in getting us off the ground,' says Raphael. 'There is also little doubt that the equipment made all the difference either. Just adding the picking station alone, I feel, took us from 100 tons per day (tpd) to 240 tpd. You simply cannot get anywhere near the same level of efficiency by spreading material on the ground and having people go through it. That facet of the operation is so thorough that we are removing about 99% of the contaminants from the stream per month. We had people sorting through piles of unseparated material which is, itself, a hazard. However, you add to that loaders driving in between the workers trying to spread the material and it is literally an accident waiting to happen. What we have in place now is safe, it's efficient and, as we are finding out from year to year, it is increasingly cost-effective.'
A Site for Sore Eyes
Each day, more than 240 tons of yard trimmings from Sanitation enters the Van Norman site in Bureau of Sanitation automated side-loader trucks and is dumped in a staging area adjacent to the trommel screen. Additionally, Street Services and DWP crews deliver about 100 per day of brush and tree trimmings which are taken directly to a Morbark Model 1300 tub grinder located onsite. The Sanitation yard trimmings are picked up by loader and placed in a trough feeding the trommel screen, The Van Norman operation's trommel is currently used strictly for separating out fines in preparation for hand-sorting/picking, but that is being looked at as well, says Matt Wood, Site Superintendent at Van Norman.
'The trommel is set to screen out material in the 1 1/2-inch size and smaller,' he says. 'That instantly removes about half the material from the stream, thereby easing the burden on the hand-sorting operation. However, we are in the process of awarding a contract for the purchase of the second trommel which, we feel, would allow us to produce a different mesh size to increase our tonnages and, more importantly, produce different product and material to broaden our markets.'
Material exits the picking station onto the ground and moved by loader to the grinding area. There, the Morbark tub grinder equipped with a 29-foot knuckleboom loader and 360 degrees rotating grapple, feeds material in for grinding. According to Wood, the Model 1300 has proven a real workhorse in the operation and has repeatedly processed material in excess of three-feet in diameter, without so much as slowing down. Ground material is moved by loader to a ramp area from which trailers are loaded to a maximum of 20 tons and dispatched to spread the newly-created mulch.
To Market, To Market
While the project allows use of 20% to 30% of the mulch at the immediate reservoir site, the remainder of the 350 tons of material generated at Van Norman on a daily basis is hauled to a number of locations throughout the metropolitan area, says Raphael.
'The mulch is welcomed by other departments such as Recreation and Parks, at the Los Angeles Zoo, at the Hyperion Water Treatment Facility, by the Los Angeles School District, and by farmers in Ventura County who find its ability to retain moisture extremely valuable in reducing their water usage. We try to reach that market and generate interest by giving presentations at farming and agricultural associations and so far it seems to be working. In addition, we are also starting to branch out to other areas such as Palmdale and some of the other desert regions.'
Mulch generated by the Van Norman project is given away, rather than sold, even to customers outside of the department. Raphael feels the savings the Bureau is realizing from within are sufficient without the need for an income-generating product.
'Since the start of the project, we have been operating on a tight budget. For example, with the exception of the capital equipment which is amortized over seven to ten years through bond money, most of the staff we have onsite came from within the Bureau. So we didn't have to hire anyone other than a few sorters - the drivers, the equipment operators, the supervisors and so on all came from within. Even many of the trucks we now use to haul the material were vehicles that we were slated for salvage. All these things allowed us to start up and continue to run as cost-effectively as possible.
'Really, however, the difference has been in being able to put a successful team together. Matt Wood and I have seen this operation grow from one with a goal to do 150 tons a day of just Sanitation material to one in which we regularly exceed 240 tons. That is testimony to the outstanding level of performance from everyone involved in the project. There is genuine level of commitment on the part of every worker and that, coupled with the performance of the equipment onsite has allowed us to make the gains we have - including winning the 1999 Productivity Improvement Award presented by the Mayor's office.'
According to Drew Scones, Director of the Bureau of Sanitation, The Bureau has already expanded the scope of the operation.
'We've set a similar project in place at the Harbor District through the purchase of a trommel and picking station which will support a Morbark grinder we have at that site. We are very confident we can have the same success there we've enjoyed at Van Norman.

The night was warm as the rain fell in the light spring drizzle. The full moon shone on the ground casting an ominous glow over the land, but where light dared not to enter shadows lurked. The shadows held danger for every beating heart that passed by. In them were murders, thieves, psychopaths, and creatures thought to be mythical.
The hour was late, but beings still stirred such as Jade Gardner. New to the town of Crestriver she had gotten lost on her way home from the convenient store. She was walking by the old stone church when a car came around the corner and slowed to a crawl matching her speed.
"Hey, there baby need a ride?" The voice called out from an open window of the car which had several boys in it.
"No thanks," was Jade's only answer as she picked up her pace.
"Now, now little girl it isn't safe to be walking alone at such a late hour," his remark drew snickers from the rest of the boys.
Jade didn't respond this time, her mind solely focused on getting away from them. Her head darting from side to side only seeing one dark alley or building after another that were not ideal to her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before dashing into the run of a madwoman. Her feet pounded the pavement, her breath became ragged, and adrenaline pumped through her veins.
Up ahead old gothic iron rod gates stood open that looked as if they had not been closed in years. They were Jade's only hope, so she took the sharp turn leading through them. What she had run into was a cemetery belonging to the church she had passed earlier. Having no fear of the dead, only of the living, she ran down the rows of gravestones.
With out warning her feet didn't met ground but rather air, and Jade plummeted downwards. Her hands groping for anything tangible, but only found air. Within seconds her whole body was slammed into a wooden coffin that broke upon impact, landing her on the decaying corpse inside. Fear took over her mind, along with disgust as she threw-up the contents of her stomach. Her sweat ran cold and her breathing desperate, for who wants to be in a grave on top of a decaying corpse.
"Someone, please help me!" Jade cried out with a desperation filled voice as tears cascaded down her face and fear gripped her in his hand as if she was baby doll. Just as fear and insanity had almost completely taken over a boy appeared.
"I'll get you out in a second. Just try not to freak out anymore." The boy spoke. "Grab a hold of my arm and I'll pull you up."
Jade nodded her head as she stood up in the coffin with her whole body screaming in protest with waves of pain. He lowered his arm and she instantly took a death grip on it, then she felt her body become dead weight as he pulled her upward.
"By the way, my name's Devon." Before Jade even had a chance to answer he gave one finally tug on her launching her over the edge of the grave onto the wet muddy ground.
Once she was in a sitting position staring up at the boy she spoke, "I'm Jade, and thank you so much. I don't know how long I would have been in there if you hadn't saved me."
"T'was my pleasure my lady." His reply made Jade release a giggle, her fear now gone replace by security that emanated from Devon.
That fear did not stay gone long though as a scream ripped through the night air. Jade closed her eyes and her breath caught in her throat. Opening her eyes she realized that Devon was no longer in sight for the clouds now covered the moon so that it only gave off and inkling of its true power nor could she any sign of him anywhere. Fear gripped Jade's heart and body as another scream pierced the quiet night. Believing, and hoping, that Devon had only gone to help out who was ever screaming now Jade ran towards where the scream came from. After running for several minutes after several minutes she stop, but then wished she hadn't for a mangled, bloody body of a boy fell from above.
Jade screamed and ran towards were the crypts of the graveyard lay. Going past the first one two arms shot out grabbing her around the waist pulling her in. Once inside the light chamber she saw the owner of the arms, a girl, and two teen boys.
"What the hell is going on?" was the first thing out of Jade's mouth.
The owner of the arms, a teenage girl like Jade herself, who was freaking out, answered, "We did a ritual to summon a vampire to kill the all the stupid people at school that make fun of us, but it backfired and now the vampire is killing us off one by one, they've already gotten Tasha."
"What?!" was all Jade's mind would let her speak, buy no one got to answer her
A gurgling sound could be heard echoing from the corner of the crypt, a boy. Everyone's head turned in his direction to find blood spurting from his neck and dripping down his mouth, the gurgling noise was him choking it. A figure then came out of shadows licking his lips of the blood dripping from them.
Everyone's instinct kicked in when they dashed to the door, but only the girl and Jade made it. The second boy was yanked backwards by the vampire, and his scream rippled through out the chamber. The girl and Jade ran at each others side until reaching the iron fencing of the outer cemetery.
"He's gonna to kill us, he's gonna kill us." The girl was consumed by fear and insanity. She turned to Jade grabbing her shoulders with the in a vice grip shaking her as if it would help. "What are we going to do?! Tell me!" Not satisfied by Jade's silence the girl threw her into a nearby weeping willow. Upon impact Jade's skull cracked with pieces embedding into her brain killing her instantly.
Out of the shadows of the night came Devon with the vampire at his side. The girl feel to the ground into a fetal position knowing that there was no escape. Devon bent down beside Jade's lifeless body extending his hand to her wrist where it phased right through. The muscles on Devon's arm bunched as if grabbing onto something before giving a good yank. Out of Jade's body came her soul, her essence.
Standing up Devon extended his hand out, "Come with me," and she did. The two of them began to disappear the second their hands touched, leaving only the vampire and the girl. The vampire smiled wickedly at the girl showing off his blood drenched teeth.
"This is going to be fun.........."

The government needs to release a partially declassified opinion from the federal court overseeing surveillance activities about its bulk collection of phone records, the court said.
In a decision handed down on Friday, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ordered the release of the Feb. 19, 2013, opinion that explains how a portion of the Patriot Act allows the National Security Agency to collect people's phone records by Aug. 29. Section 215 of that law allows the agency to collect "metadata" — or information about which numbers people call, how often and how long the calls last but not the actual content of people's conversations — in order to track and stop terrorists.
The order comes in response to a petition form the American Civil Liberties Union and the Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic.
Reform to Section 215 of the Patriot Act is currently under debate in Congress, where a bill from Sen. Patrick LeahyPatrick Joseph LeahyGrassley, Dems step up battle over judicial nominees Popular bill to fight drug prices left out of budget deal Judiciary Dems want public hearings with Kushner, Trump Jr. MORE (D-Vt.) would end the NSA's bulk collection of the phone records and require the government obtain a court order to collect data from private phone companies.
Leahy unveiled a new compromise version of his bill last month, before lawmakers left town for the month-long August recess. The bill faces an uncertain future, however, with time dwindling before the end of the year and midterm elections looming in November.

Oxfam Novib
See also NGO Monitor's reports on Oxfam International and Oxfam Australia.
- Is active in promoting an anti-Israel agenda. Its 2009 monitoring report states that Oxfam Novib has "taken the lead in campaigning on Palestinian issues" within the Oxfam International network. For instance, the NGO lists its call for "an end to the blockade" of Gaza as an example of advocacy work.
- Trainers from Oxfam Novib conducted workshops as part of the 2008 "Arab Advocacy Project." One of the results of the project was the documentary, "the Effect of the Apartheid Wall on Essential Services in Palestine," which was later screened in Jordan and the Palestinian Authority.
- In 2009, Oxfam Novib sponsored Electronic Intifada Executive Director Ali Abunimah's participation in an event organized by the Nederlands Palestina Komitee (the Palestine Committee of the Netherlands). In his presentation, Abunimah repeatedly advanced allegations of "ethnical cleaning" and "colonization," employed terms such as "apartheid," and advocated BDS.
- In 2009, Oxfam Novib spent €3.7 million in Gaza. However, on its website, Oxfam Novib only lists three projects in Israel and three in the Palestinian Authority. They include:
- Adalah: €576,000 in 2008-2010 for "emergency relief." No further details are provided, and the recipients of the "emergency relief" distributed by Adalah remain unidentified.
- PARC (listed under Israel): €620,000 for a project on nutrition for 2008-10. The details of the project are opaque, and it is unclear why a project with a Palestinian NGO is listed as Israeli.
- Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS): €670,000. The organization has employed demonizing language in attacks against Israel. The PMRS President Dr. Mustafa Barghouthi referred to the Gaza conflict as a "horrendous massacre," and used the terms "ghetto" and "apartheid" on a radio program. PMRS refers to the security barrier as the "apartheid Wall."
- Democracy and Workers' Rights Center: €390,000 to work on "labour rights" in 2008-2010. DWRC has a rejectionist agenda, including signing a petition protesting the EU-Israel upgrade and calling for the suspension of the EU Association Agreement. In 2010, the Jerusalem Post reported that the group participated in a pro-BDS event hosted by the Irish trade-union.
- According to Oxfam Novib's 2009 Monitoring Report and NGO Monitor research, Oxfam Novib partners with a variety of projects not listed on its website. One of these is a three-year project run by Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) entitled "Improving Awareness and Respect for Human Rights in Occupied Palestinian Territory," which received €964,680 from Oxfam Novib. The project is co-financed by the European Union.
- Oxfam Novib previously partnered with PCHR on a 36-month (2005-2008), €298,339 grant from the European Union, under the auspices of a program to "[c]ontribute to the abolition of the death penalty in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, applied by the Palestinian National Authority via judicial death sentences and via extrajudicial executions" by the Israeli military. With this funding, PCHR and Oxfam Novib hosted several conferences promoting the use of universal jurisdiction statutes against Israeli officials. Ultimately, these activities were used as strategy sessions to bolster war crimes cases ("lawfare") against Israeli officials throughout the world.
- Israeli NGO Yesh Din claims that Oxfam Novib is a donor, but it is not listed on Oxfam Novib's website.

The last two airworthy Lancaster bombers were joined by another iconic aircraft, the Vulcan, for an historic flypast over Lincolnshire today (Thursday, August 21).
The trio, made by British manufacturer Avro, took off from RAF Waddington earlier this afternoon, passing over Boston shortly after 2pm.
They would then head on to RAF Marham in Norfolk.
The spectacle was made possible thanks to a visiting Lancaster bomber from Canada.
It coincided with a turf-cutting ceremony for the new Bomber Command Memorial at the International Bomber Command Centre, in Canwick Hill.

Fear a factor in leaving law behind the times
Page Tools
Safety in numbers . . . Christine Adamson, second left, with barristers she is mentoring, Katherine Richardson, left, Tiffany Wong and Miiko Kumar. Photo: Steven Siewert
Women are failing to break down the male domination of barrister's ranks because of two "F factors" - fear and family.
But when they do, they prefer to specialise in family law, human rights and they consider policies designed to give them more work "quite offensive".
The observations are contained in a NSW Bar Association study into why the huge numbers of women going through law schools - as high as 77 per cent of students - has not translated into a jump in their numbers at the bar.
Ten years ago, there were 12,283 practising solicitors - 8992 male and 3291 female. Women now comprise 7469 out of 18,882 - meaning their ratio has risen from 25.8 per cent to 39.6 per cent.
But the number of female barristers has only risen from 11.3 per cent in 1996 to 14.7 per cent, of more than 2000 in NSW.
The association's journal, Bar News, found perceptions of life at the bar were crucial in many women rejecting it as a career move. "As one woman succinctly expressed it, 'it boils down to the two F factors: fear and family. Whereas men might be encouraged to follow through with their risky professional dreams and vocations, women were, whether innately or by social conditioning, more risks adverse'," it said.
The journal cites professions with similar gender imbalances. The ratio of female interns at hospitals has risen to 48 per cent but only 7 per cent of surgeons.
Christine Adamson, SC, says she is like a born-again Christian when talking up the bar. "I tell them it's great and it will be better if more women come."
Ms Adamson, one of nine women out of 281 senior counsel, is mentoring barristers Miiko Kumar, Tiffany Wong and Katherine Richardson and says the fear is real. "I'm sure a lot of women look at the bar and say 'Am I going to get a fair go, are my talents going to be recognised?'
"I think because of the way my parents brought me up I don't have that fear but I have heard that many women do and are risk adverse. But it's probably a lot to do with the encouragement they are given . . . and with the family, people can do both."
The study says "the hierarchies, networks and supports are instrinsically male".
Ms Adamson said women barristers should reach a 50 per cent ratio in time. "Why not . . . It depends on how hard everyone tries because there are huge waves of intelligent, articulate women who need to be shown this is an available career."

ANCHORAGE - The Anchorage Assembly will consider a proposal to hire a specialist to track bears in the city.
The proposal from Eagle River Assembly member Bill Starr calls for the city to hire a seasonal wildlife specialist to track bear sightings. The person hired would try to harass the animals out of town. If necessary, the person would also have the power to relocate or kill bears.
Starr said killing bears would be a last resort.
"The issue is the defense of life and property. You know, we need to take responsibility for our public spaces and defend our own," he said.
The plan comes after three people were mauled by bears in the city last summer.
A public hearing is planned today on the plan, which also calls for a safety education program, enforcing garbage rules to keep people from enticing bears into neighborhoods, and a policy for dealing with bear complaints.
State wildlife biologist Rick Sinnott says while some of that sound good, the part about a city employee handling or shootings bears doesn't.
He said that is normally the Department of Fish and Game's job.
East Anchorage Assembly member Mike Gutierrez said he is working on an alternative to Starr's plan that he hopes to propose as early as next month.
Gutierrez said his plan could include having the city parks department work with the state to determine when trails are growing dangerous. In parts of Anchorage, it might make sense to temporarily close a trail to prevent attacks, he said.
But Starr's proposal could get a vote as early as today, even though the assembly has a busy agenda.
If approved, it would be up to the city manager to implement it.
Deputy City Manager Heather Handyside says she has questions about Starr's plan to have a city employee handle bears. But she said the mayor's team is working to clarify exactly how it responds to, and prevents, bear threats.

Changing consumption patterns in India: NSSO
Our Bureau
Date of posting: 07-05-07
People in rural areas eat more rice whereas urbaners drink more milk (5.11 liters per month). This is one of the findings of the latest report no. 509 of the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) who made a new survey across 7999 villages and 4602 urban blocks covering 79298 rural and 45346 urban households, respectively, to highlight consumption patterns. Another figure, the intake of both rice and wheat at urban centres, has declined in the 2004-05 period compared to the earlier peroid during 1993-94. The fall of rice consumption was deeper than in wheat. As per the NSSO data, the monthly per capita consumption of rice by the urban people stood at 4.71 kg in 2004-05 while for wheat it was 4.36 kg.
Another interesting figure is the consumption of oils. The per capita consumption of edible oil has risen over the eleven years following 1993-94 by as much as 30% in rural India and about 18% in urban India. In both rural and urban India, per capita consumption of oil other than groundnut oil, mustard oil, vanaspati and coconut oil has more than doubled. Such oil would include sunflower oil, soyabean oil, other vegetable oil and rice bran oil.
The rising oil demand has led to huge imports of oil. According to the Solvent Extractors Association of India, the import of vegetable oils (edible and non-edible) for the month of March 2007 alone was 317,930 tons.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 2 – Intermediate)
Topic: Bon Voyage (09/05/05)
TITLE: Escape from hell
Night by night I lie in torment, yet solutions never come. Ambivalence is the thief of my absolution. I am afraid perhaps, that if I were to make the decision to leave at last, that life would shovel out another handful of gravel…another handful further down this hole. Deeper still into this abyss would bring darkness I have no ability to comprehend or face.
I close my eyes and try and remember how I got here. The answer is simple: disobedience. I allowed myself to slowly drift away from God, abandoning the One who wanted what was best for me, to seek that which I thought was best for myself. The hole I dug was not suddenly deep, it swallowed me slowly…so slowly that I hardly noticed it get out of my control.
One drink became four drinks. A simple flirtation became an affair. Skipping one Sunday at church, became not going to church at all. I fell deeper and deeper, shovelling through sin until I got to the bottom of a hole I had no way of getting out of alone.
Blood runs down a cross and falls through the cracks in my muddy prison. Tears of regret fall as I realise the mistakes I have made. I fell on my knees and cry oceans of sorrow for the girl I once was. Splinters from the cross I cling too dig into my hands, my blood mixing with His.
Forgiveness for all I have done resonates in the large void surrounding me.
I hear Him whisper, "Climb."
"But Lord, the hole is so deep."
"But Jesus, can't you see the twisted vines, the angry rocks, the piercing thorns?"
"There will always be consequences for your actions. You reap what you sow. My forgiveness does not take away your responsibilities…but you are not alone. You can get out, because I am here with you. I will be your strength. Now…climb."
I hold on…with bleeding hands I grip poisoned vines.
I will get out,
I will survive,
I will start over,
I will get up from this fall and walk again.

Tai Woffinden hopes to return from injury at Grand Prix of Poland
Tai Woffinden hopes to be back in a fortnight after suffering a badly broken collarbone during the British Grand Prix.
Last Updated: 03/06/13 4:12pm
The Wolverhampton star was injured when he crashed in his fourth ride in Heat 14 at the Millennium Stadium.
Freddie Lindgren came in hard to the third corner and pushed his Wolves team-mate Woffinden across into Nicki Pedersen before he slammed into the air fence.
Woffinden, who had made a strong start with seven points from his first three rides, has now set his sights on racing at the Grand Prix of Poland on June 15.
He said: "I'm hoping to go private on Monday to have an operation to get the bone put back in place, and I'll do everything I can go make the next Grand Prix at Gorzow in a fortnight.
"Even though I crashed it wasn't a disastrous GP as I still got seven points. I'm trying to think positive - I'm still in second place in the standings."
Ironically, it was Woffinden's absence which allowed eventual winner Emil Sayfutdinov to take the final qualifying place in Cardiff.

Defense Ministry awarded the best in the categories of military professions
Saturday on the outdoor stage of the National control center of defense of Russia took place the solemn ceremony of honoring the winners of the III all-army festival-contest "Russian Army in 2016", which was opened by defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. He said, "this is the third year we gather here, at the main entrance to Frunzenskaya embankment. Every year more and more of those who deserve to come to this stage".

All-army festival-contest "Army of Russia" is held annually at the initiative of defense Minister Sergei Shoigu with the aim of improving professionalism and morale in the Armed forces and development of the best military traditions.
The first Minister of defence awarded the cadet of the Voronezh military training-scientific centre of air force Likhachev Artem for courage and honor, manifested in rescuing children from a burning house. In January of this year, Artem, risking their lives, pulled from a burning house in Voronezh two children four and six years. "We have hundreds and thousands of such boys," said the Minister, presenting the award — which in different parts of our country abroad perform feats not because they want to do them, but because they cannot do otherwise."
The finale of "Army-2016" by the decision of the jury selected the winners in such nominations as "Courage and honor" (heroic) "Armor is strong" (best tank crew), "ACE" (best flight crew), Eagle eye (the best estimate of complex unmanned aerial vehicle), and others. Winners were congratulated via video link (picture was shown on the big screen) the soldiers from the island of Kotelny and Syrian air base Hamim. The most worthy representatives of the military profession have been awarded the highest ranks of the defense Ministry, popular artists, athletes, and public figures. The celebration ended with the concert of famous musicians.
In Moscow took place the awarding of winners of the festival Russian Army
17 September in Moscow awarded the winners of the Third all-Russian festival-competition "Russian Army". The ceremony was held on the Frunzenskaya embankment.
