Ordinary Time: July 29th
Memorial of St. Martha, virgin
» Enjoy our Liturgical Seasons series of e-books!
Old Calendar: St. Martha; Sts. Felix, Simplicius, Faustinus & Beatrice, martyrs
Jesus liked to stay at the house of Martha, Mary and Lazarus, his friends at Bethany, when he was in Judea. One of these visits has ever remained dear to Christian memory. On that occasion Martha, busily serving the Master, asked Him to persuade Mary to help her. Without in any way reproaching Martha, Jesus explained to her that certain souls, called by God, should choose a better part still — the primary duty of listening to Him and contemplating Him. This feast is celebrated today both in the Ordinary Form and Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.
St. Martha
Martha was born of noble and wealthy parents, but she is still more illustrious for the hospitality she gave to Christ our Lord. After His Ascension into heaven, she was seized by the Jews, together with her brother and sister, Marcella her handmaid, and Maximin, one of the seventy two disciples of our Lord, who had baptized the whole family, and many other Christians. They were put on board a ship without sails or oars, and left helpless on the open sea, exposed to certain shipwreck. But God guided the ship, and they all arrived safely at Marseilles.
- Take note of our special project Family and Friends of Jesus Scrapbook Album, which has materials directly related to the feast of St. Martha:
From St. Martha one basic lesson learned is that there is both active and contemplative work. Some vocations require more of one, but we all need to stop and experience quiet to pray, meditate, contemplate. Parents' time allotted for prayer is shorter than unmarried singles or religious, but time should be set aside. Children need to learn to start putting time aside for personal prayer and spiritual reading. This will help to develop good life-long prayer habits.
Another lesson to learn is that we serve Christ our Brother when we serve others through our work, whether it be the daily duty of household chores or other charitable work outside the home. In serving others we serve our Brother Christ.
- Since St. Martha is the patron of cooks, today would be a good day to honor and thank the person (usually Mom!) for all her meals she has prepared. Surprise her/him by cooking a special meal or take her/him out to dinner.
- An excellent book for meditation called Praying While You Work: Devotions for Use of Martha Rather Than Mary by Dom Hubert Van Zeller. The book has been reprinted by Sophia Institute Press under the name: Holiness for Housewives: And Other Working Women
Sts. Simplicius, Faustinus and Beatrice
The two brothers were cruelly tormented, and at length beheaded at Rome in the persecution of Diocletian, in the year 303. Their sister Beatrice took up their bodies out of the Tiber and gave them burial. She concealed herself for seven months in the house of a virtuous widow called Lucina, with whom she spent her time, night and day in fervent prayer, and in the exercise of other good works. She was discovered and impeached by a pagan kinsman, who designed to possess himself of her estate, which was contiguous to his own; she resolutely protested to the judge that she would never adore gods of wood and stone, and was strangled by his order in prison the following night. Lucina buried her body near her brothers on the side of the highway to Porto, in the cemetery called Ad Ursum Pileatum. Pope Leo translated their relics into a church which he built to their honor in the city, they now lie in that of St. Mary Major.

Advances in informatics, nanotechnology, and deeper understanding of biological systems have provided new opportunities to make fundamental advances in sensing and dynamic control of engineered systems. BioSensing-BioActuation (BSBA) is a developing new research frontier that will profoundly impact both engineering and biological sciences in sensing/actuation science and technologies, and could has the potential for bringing a paradigm shift in engineering and biological research by creating new, truly cross-disciplinary research methodologies. BSBA refers to an emergent research area that aims at developing novel bio-derived and bio-inspired sensing/actuation technologies based on the fundamental understanding of biological systems. It is highly interdisciplinary by nature, drawing expertise from biology, engineering, computer science, materials science, and mathematics.

The Hope College Great Performance Series (GPS) for 2007-08 is set to build on its history as a community tradition of more than 30 years. Providing top international talent at West Michigan prices, the Great Performance Series offers everything from dance to jazz to classical music during the academic year.
The season will open on Friday-Saturday, Sept. 14-15, with Koresh Dance Company performing at 7:30 p.m. in the DeWittCenter main theatre. Israeli born and raised, Ronan Koresh is taking the training of his youth into the future of dance with his Philadelphia-based company, a physical company which combines a variety of dance styles into accessible and highly regarded performances. "When Koresh Dance Company performs, audiences leap to their feet," "Dance Magazine" has said.
On Thursday, Oct. 25, the legendary Vienna Boys Choir will return to Dimnent Memorial Chapel at 7:30 p.m. after a sellout performance in 2004. For more than 500 years the choir has set the standard for vocal excellence. Since its 2004 appearance at Hope, the choir has reclaimed its original name and is under a new director, returning the group to its roots. "The Vienna Choir Boys have definitely reconquered their reputation as an artistic institution of the highest order," stated "Die Presse" from Vienna.
Chamber musicians of the highest caliber combine to create Concertante, a string sextet based in New York performing on Friday, Nov. 9, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel. Their performances combine the work of the masters along with contemporary works. The group's HopeCollege program will include works by Strauss, Schoenberg and Tchaikovsky. A recent performance had "The Oregonian" claim that "the fantastically talented Concertante proved...that the future of classical music is in fine hands."
On Thursday, Jan. 24, at 7:30 p.m. the Hot Club of San Francisco will bring its multi-media, gypsy jazz performance to Dimnent Memorial Chapel. The Hot Club is modeled after the legendary Parisian band of the 1930s featuring guitarist Django Reinhardt. The modern version recreates that smoky, jazz sound of Paris while continuing to move forward. The club's performance at HopeCollege will also include 40 minutes of live accompaniment to four silent films rediscovered and premiered at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival with the ensemble's live and original film score. The "San Francisco Chronicle" called the group "one of the most cohesive and entertaining Gypsy swing bands in the United States."
The Harlem Quartet, a Sphinx Ensemble, is a young string quartet comprised of four first-place laureates of the prestigious Sphinx Competition held in Detroit each year to encourage Latino and Black string musicians. Wynton Marsalis has championed the group, which will be performing one of his works, along with a piece by Mozart, at Hope on Friday, Feb. 22, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel. The quartet's first recording will be released this fall.
The true story of Eugenia Ginzburg's life as a victim of the Stalinist purges is brought to life by playwright and actor Rebecca Schull when she performs "Journey Into the Whirlwind" on Thursday-Friday, March 27-28, at 7:30 p.m. in the Knickerbocker Theatre. Schull is a legendary character actor who recently appeared in two Academy-award nominated films. She is best known to television audiences as the slightly skewed Faye on the long-running comedy "Wings." The "Los Angeles Times" has called the play "An exceptional study in human vigilance and fortitude in the face of total absurdity," noting that "Schull makes us live Ginzburg's trauma by osmosis."
The performance by Koresh Dance Company is underwritten in part by the Padnos Foundation and the Hope College Office of Multicultural Life, and also supported by the Performing Arts Fund, a program of Arts Midwest funded by the National Endowment for the Arts with additional contributions from the General Mills Foundation, Land O'Lakes Foundation, and the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs.
Season tickets are now available. Subscriptions are $58 for adults, $47 for senior citizens, and $125 for a family (no matter how many children). The subscriptions are such a savings that they are equivalent to seeing two shows for free.
Tickets for individual shows go on sale on Saturday, Sept. 1, at 10 a.m. Both individual tickets and season subscriptions are available at the ticket office in the DeVos Fieldhouse or by calling (616) 395-7890.
Following the Saturday, Sept. 1, ticket opening, the ticket office will be open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The ticket office is in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse, which is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave., between Ninth and 11th streets.

Today i'm gonna share with you a really great programming design pattern. It has a lot of usages and it is one of my favorites. The programming degin pattern command has a huge variety of use cases. In this post we will see how to implement something from the real world.
We will implement an electronic car key to open, close doors, enable, disable alarms, open, close the garage door or to open and close the hood and trunk of your car.
The example i will show to you, is a very generic one, so you can always come back here, take it and use it in your applications.
The UML Command PatternAs you know me, i always start my projects by showing the class diagram over a UML diagram. This help us to fix it overview the example in a nice, compact way.
Explaning the Details Programming DesignOur client is the Ferrari Owner (FerrariCleint). It has a CarKey. The CarKey has a generic MicroShip (Involker) that can be configurated with commands. The commands (OpenDoorCommand) itself have Action (DoorAction) to execute. The CarKey can configurate do and undo Commands. The NullObjectCommand belongs to the Null Object Design Pattern and it will be also used here. Let's see in the code the implementation details now.
Command and MicroShipThe NullObjectCommand is used here to avoid null pointer exceptions and to execute nothing as long as no command has been defined.
public interface Command { void execute(); } public class MicroChip { protected Command[] onCommands; protected Command[] offCommands; public MicroChip(int commandQuantity) { onCommands = new Command[commandQuantity]; offCommands = new Command[commandQuantity]; Command nullObjecCommand = new NullObjectCommand(); for (int i = 0; i < commandQuantity; i++) { onCommands[i]=nullObjecCommand; offCommands[i]=nullObjecCommand; } } public void configureCommand(int position, Command on, Command off){ onCommands[position]=on; offCommands[position]=off; } public void executeOnCommand(int position){ onCommands[position].execute(); } public void executeOffCommand(int position){ offCommands[position].execute(); } protected class NullObjectCommand implements Command{ @Override public void execute() { // NULL-OBJECT-PATTERN } } }
Concrete Commands and ActionsHere we can see the concrete implementation of Actions and Commands.
public class Door { public void on(){ System.out.println("Opening car doors..."); } public void off(){ System.out.println("Closing car doors..."); } } public class OpenDoorCommand implements Command { private Door door; public OpenDoorCommand(Door door) { this.door = door; } @Override public void execute() { door.on(); } } public class CloseDoorCommand implements Command { private Door door; public CloseDoorCommand(Door door) { this.door =door; } @Override public void execute() { door.off(); } }
The Generic MicroShipAs you can see here, this implementation or this MicroShip can hold as many commands as you need and can be reused in any situation you may need. In this MicroShip bellow i have implemented more then only this OpenDoorCommand and CloseDoorCommand above, so you can see the power of it. It is up to you to implement other commands like i did.The cool thing here is the ability to do and undo things. To create as many commands and exucute as many actions as we need. The simplicity and beauty of this pattern fascinates me.
public class CarKey { private MicroChip microChip; public CarKey() { final int commandQuantity = 5; microChip = new MicroChip(commandQuantity); final Hood hood = new Hood(); final OpenHoodCommand openHoodCmd = new OpenHoodCommand(hood); final CloseHoodCommand closeHoodCmd = new CloseHoodCommand(hood); microChip.configureCommand(0, openHoodCmd, closeHoodCmd); final Door door = new Door(); final OpenDoorCommand openDoorCmd = new OpenDoorCommand(door); final CloseDoorCommand closeDoorCmd = new CloseDoorCommand(door); microChip.configureCommand(1, openDoorCmd, closeDoorCmd); final Garage garage = new Garage(); final OpenGarageCommand openGarageCmd = new OpenGarageCommand(garage); final CloseGarageCommand closeGarageCmd = new CloseGarageCommand(garage); microChip.configureCommand(2, openGarageCmd, closeGarageCmd); final Trunk trunk = new Trunk(); final OpenTrunkCommand openTrunkCmd = new OpenTrunkCommand(trunk); final CloseTrunkCommand closeTrunkCmd = new CloseTrunkCommand(trunk); microChip.configureCommand(3, openTrunkCmd, closeTrunkCmd); final Alarm alarm = new Alarm(); final EnableAlarmCommand enableAlarmCmd = new EnableAlarmCommand(alarm); final DisableAlarmCommand disableAlarmCmd = new DisableAlarmCommand(alarm); microChip.configureCommand(4, enableAlarmCmd, disableAlarmCmd); } public void openHood(){microChip.executeOnCommand(0);} public void closeHood(){microChip.executeOffCommand(0);} public void openDoor(){microChip.executeOnCommand(1);} public void closeDoor(){microChip.executeOffCommand(1);} public void openGarage(){microChip.executeOnCommand(2);} public void closeGarage(){microChip.executeOffCommand(2);} public void openTrunk(){microChip.executeOnCommand(3);} public void closeTrunk(){microChip.executeOffCommand(3);} public void enableAlarm(){microChip.executeOnCommand(4);} public void disableAlarm(){microChip.executeOffCommand(4);} }
The FerrariClientFinally we can see the usage and power of this beautiful design pattern. In this example i implemented more than one command to show to you, how it could looks like.
public class FerrariClient { public static void main(String[] args) { final CarKey ferrariSwitchbladeKey = new CarKey(); ferrariSwitchbladeKey.openHood(); ferrariSwitchbladeKey.openGarage(); ferrariSwitchbladeKey.openTrunk(); ferrariSwitchbladeKey.openDoor(); ferrariSwitchbladeKey.enableAlarm(); System.out.println("-------------------------------"); ferrariSwitchbladeKey.closeHood(); ferrariSwitchbladeKey.closeGarage(); ferrariSwitchbladeKey.closeTrunk(); ferrariSwitchbladeKey.closeDoor(); ferrariSwitchbladeKey.disableAlarm(); } }
That's all. Hope you like it!

Receptos Doses First Patient in Phase 2 Trial for RPC1063 in Ulcerative Colitis
Jan 04, 2013, 08:00 ET
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Receptos, Inc., announced today that its selective sphingosine‐1‐ phosphate 1 receptor (S1P1R) modulator, RPC1063, has been administered to the first patient in a Phase 2 study examining the clinical efficacy and safety of induction therapy in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Leading to the initiation of the RPC01-202 study, called TOUCHSTONE, Receptos successfully filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) Application with the Division of Gastroenterology and Inborn Errors Products (DGIEP) of the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). Receptos also has an active IND for RPC1063 with the Division of Neurology Products (DNP), under which an ongoing Phase 2/3 study for RPC1063 in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) is being enrolled.
TOUCHSTONE is a multi-national, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study investigating the effect of two active doses of RPC1063 versus placebo. The study is designed to enroll approximately 180 patients in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. The primary objective of TOUCHSTONE is to compare the efficacy of RPC1063 for the induction of clinical remission in patients with moderately to severely active UC at eight weeks of treatment.
Receptos has completed a Phase 1 study with RPC1063 which tested single ascending doses, multiple ascending doses and dose titration regimens in healthy volunteers. The Phase 1 results confirmed optimal pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and safety features, which provide supportive data for the differentiation strategy for RPC1063 as a potential best-in-class second generation S1P1R modulator. In particular, robust pharmacodynamic effects of peripheral lymphocyte count reduction were achieved in the Phase 1 study. Clinical efficacy in UC has been demonstrated by several marketed or clinical stage lymphocyte trafficking agents with different mechanism of action to S1P1R modulation but that impact similar lymphocyte populations (naive T cells [CD4+, CD8+], memory T cell subsets, and B cells). These data, in addition to preclinical efficacy data generated at Receptos, provide rationale for anticipating clinical efficacy for S1P1R modulation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). New targeted immunotherapeutic options such as S1P1R modulation are expected to provide treating physicians with more choices in their treatment algorithm for IBD.
"Patients suffering from ulcerative colitis need more effective maintenance therapies with favorable safety profiles and oral administration for convenient long-term, chronic administration," said Faheem Hasnain, President and Chief Executive Officer of Receptos. "RPC1063 not only has the potential to demonstrate efficacy in both induction and maintenance therapy for ulcerative colitis, but could represent a first-in-class offering for S1P1R modulation as a novel mechanism of action to treat inflammatory bowel disease."
The UC market has significant unmet medical need for over 1.5 million patients, since all currently approved drugs have therapeutic, safety and logistic limitations. First-line therapies for UC have disadvantages ranging from limited efficacy (5-Aminosalicylic acid, also known as 5-ASA or mesalamine) to unacceptable side effects pursuant to chronic administration and the loss of patient response over time (corticosteroids). Azathioprine (AZA) and 6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP), used to maintain remission, have a slow onset of action and multiple notable toxicities. Approved anti-TNF (tumor necrosis factor) therapies Remicade® (infliximab) and Humira® (adalimumab), though effective in inducing and maintaining remission in a portion of UC patients, require repeated IV infusions, result in long-term immune suppression lasting up to 3 months, and have the potential for increased risk for infection. Finally, despite receiving standard therapy, more than half of all patients will experience an exacerbation of their disease with proctocolectomy (surgical removal of the rectum and all or parts of the colon) as their only alternative.
About RPC1063 and S1P1R Modulators
RPC1063 is a novel, differentiated sphingosine 1-phosphate 1 receptor (S1P1R) selective modulator exhibiting picomolar potency that is effective in rodent models of both multiple sclerosis (MS) and IBD, and possesses an excellent safety profile in non-clinical toxicology studies. Receptos completed a Phase 1 study with RPC1063 in 2012 which tested single ascending doses, multiple ascending doses and dose titration regimens in healthy volunteers. The Phase 1 results confirmed optimal pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and safety features, which provide supportive data for the differentiation strategy for RPC1063 as a potential best-in-class second generation S1P1R modulator.
About Receptos
Receptos is a biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic candidates for the treatment of autoimmune and metabolic diseases. The company's lead program, RPC1063, is a potential best-in-class S1P1R small molecule modulator candidate for autoimmune indications. In addition to the Phase 2 trial for UC, a Phase 2/3 study is ongoing examining the efficacy of RPC1063 in the indication of relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Patents supporting RPC1063 were exclusively licensed to Receptos from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). The discoveries originated in the NIH Molecular Libraries Probe Production Center at TSRI, which is part of the NIH Common Fund Molecular Libraries initiative (http://commonfund.nih.gov/molecularlibraries/) . Receptos' expertise in S1P1 biology has been informed by the company's high resolution protein crystal structure of the S1P1 receptor, published in Science in 2012. Receptos has established partnerships for its GPCR structure determination technology platform with Eli Lilly, Ono Pharmaceutical and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

As ammunition prices go up, association accept beneath spending money as their account budgets for ammunition generally double. Thus with beneath money to absorb Fast Aliment Restaurants generally are the aboriginal hit and they get hit badly. Does that beggarly we can apprehend the Fast Aliment wars to go basics again? Does that beggarly you anon be able to say "I just bought a Whopper for $.99 or Wendy's Single for $1.00 or even a Big Mac for alone a buck; could be and soon.
Last time ammunition prices went up acutely the prices of fast aliment came down, bad for profits of the franchisee, but abundant for the customer if you accept the abdomen for fast aliment or absolutely like the taste. Of advance endure time about beef prices were way down. Endure time we had burger wars; Burger baron for instance back it's aboriginal US Store came aground in Jacksonville Florida 40 years ago, amount wars had consistently been a way to action adjoin the a lot of able and apocalyptic Ray Kroc Creation. Why were beef prices down endure time around? Drought.
You see so abounding beasts ranchers could not allow the baptize to accumulate the fields blooming for eating. So they had to yield their livestock to annihilation beforehand in the year, and back they all did it at the aforementioned time, the over accumulation acquired a amount slump. Mostly in the aridity ridden mid west, this acquired ripple beyond the world. Well we accept aridity issues now in Texas, Okalahoma and New Mexico now in 2006.
Last time instead of Area is the beef you had affluence although if it happens afresh you may be allurement area are the tomatoes. That's appropriate beneath tomatoes added beef. Tomatoes and bill onions all took a hit too, but they were beneath supplied back yields were low in so abounding places in the US.
Anyway you can now get a bifold assemblage from Wendy's or a Craven sandwich or Big and Tasty for $.99 also. Yes the craven sandwich is absorbing but the aforementioned book happened to hogs and chicken. So if you go to an all you can eat rib abode apprehend a little amount breach too. If you are from Australia do not apprehend a vegemite sandwich bargain though, why? Aswell the drought.

"We could not be more excited about the hiring of Ryan Connolly," stated Hughes. "With Ryan's skillset and experience, we have essentially hired another full time coach in our volunteer slot.
In Connolly's one season with Radford, the Spiders went 30-26 and finished fourth in the Big South with a 14-10 record.
Prior to last season, Connolly spent 2011 and 2012 as a volunteer assistant under Hughes at Virginia Tech. There his duties included assisting with all day-to-day aspects of the program as well as coaching the hitters and handling recruiting.
"His organizational skills and his ability to recruit made it an easy decision for me to name him our recruiting coordinator, as well as our catching coach. I have no doubt that Ryan will soon be one of the most well respected recruiting coordinators in college baseball. We are very grateful to be adding this top notch person to our Sooner baseball family."
A 2009 graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor's degree in psychology and pre-professional studies, Connolly was a standout for the Fighting Irish from 2006-10. He led the team with a .335 batting average as a senior to go with 11 home runs and 38 runs batted in. Connolly earned four letters and was twice selected as a team captain.
Connolly and his mother, Penny, are co-chairs of the Michael E. Connolly Endowment for Lung Cancer Research, named in honor of his late father.

A beautiful 5.57Carats / 6.12 Ratti / 20.22 Chav undrilled freshwater cultivated Natural Pearl.
Button Shaped,
For centuries, pearls have always been a symbol of peace, beauty and purity. Today, they are regarded as both classic and contemporary, coming in many more fashionable styles than your mother's traditional strands or necklace of pearls.
Natural Pearls — are extremely rare. Historically, many were found in the Persian Gulf; unfortunately, today, most have already been harvested. You may be able to purchase small, natural pearls, but they will be costly.
Pearls have been known for their healing properties for centuries, particularly in traditional Asian medical systems. In these cultures, "medicine" deals with more than just physical ailments and cures, and substances like gold, silver and pearl powder are believed to have effects both physically and metaphysically.
Modern science has not discovered anything magical about pearls, but this does nothing to diminish their stature in people's eyes. Pearls are said to give the wearer a sense of calmness and centeredness, and to promote faith, loyalty, truth and purity. They can especially enhance personal integrity. They have also been used in a number of cultures to help women connect with their "inner goddesses" and obtain the ultimate "feminine energy."
Pearls have been used throughout medical history to help treat disorders of the digestive tract, muscular systems and the skin. Powders and potions containing pearls have also been developed to aid in fertility, as well as in easing the discomforts of the birthing process. Many cultures and societies have made similar claims for this lustrous gem.
The Chinese, for example, have depended on the healing properties of the pearl for centuries. They have used it to treat everything from simple eye ailments to serious heart problems, bleeding, fever and indigestion. To this day, the Chinese still use pearl powder as a skin whitener and a cosmetic, as do many other people around the world. In fact, the pearl is widely considered to be effective in controlling the skin conditions rosacea and acne.
Due to these natural properties, as well as its elegance and beauty, the pearl has been associated through the ages with the "matrix of life" itself. Proponents allege that the pearl helps to balance the human body's natural rhythms and hormone levels with lunar cycles. There are also those that claim that the pearl can bring inner wisdom and help to strengthen and nurture the growth of love. Pearls are thought by others to have very strong "magnetic" powers and have been used in "gem therapy" to strengthen nerves, the adrenal glands, the spleen and muscle tissue.
The pearl's magical properties are said to allow a person to open up and find the meaning and the purpose of one's "true self." They are believed to enlighten the mind and inspire the mood, while helping the wearer to learn to love herself more and, in turn, help her love others more, as well. True or not, these are wonderful and inspiring thoughts to share with the world, and the pearl can help the wearer project any and all of these mystical traits in a practical way, by focusing the mind on these positive attributes, real or not. Pearls are not just gems. They are a veritable storehouse of good will and positive, uplifting feelings. The real magic is in beholding their beauty and seeing them as reminders of "all things good and true." Now, doesn't that sound like a gem worth wearing?

Empire In Descent: The Deliberate Destruction Of America
Worldwide despise of the United States an intentional pre-cursor for world government takeover
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | December 2 2005
There is a deliberate agenda at hand to reflect an image of America to the world as a corrupt, evil, deceiving, hypocritical and brutal power. The Bush administration is being played like a fiddle and as each horror story scandal emerges, America sinks further into the waiting jaws of its 'savior' - the dark stalker of global government.
America was once the model of world freedom. Even as recently as the late 1980's, the United States was perceived as a benchmark of how free societies should operate, this despite a slow erosion of respect which began in the Vietnam era.
However, that was a drop in the ocean compared to now. America is universally hated by the population of almost every country on the planet.
Even in my homeland of Britain, America's supposed biggest ally, hatred of all things American, including the American people themselves, is at an all time high. The British hate Americans even more than they do the French or the Germans. In many cases the scope of the resentment is because individuals have difficulty separating the actions of an incumbent government from the real history of a country and its people.
Ceaseless warmongering, a worldwide torture policy and scandal after scandal have left America with a soiled global reputation.
America is the new evil empire, the new Soviet Union. Playing the role of the good guys is the EU/UN global government watchdog. This is the landscape of the manufactured multi-polar world. In reality, both entities are working towards the establishment of a unipolar world dictatorship and for that to happen, America has to be brought down from within.
Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, the lies that justified Iraq, indictments of high level Bush administration officials, brazen war profiteering, and the fallen cartoon character image of George W. Bush, all these issues were meant to come out and they were meant to contribute to the world's decaying tolerance of America as a superpower.
The European Union/United Nations global power bloc is waiting in the wings for when nationwide chaos engulfs America and they have to send in their 'peacekeeping' troops to restore order. Far from just being the plot of X Box video games, Republican Congressman Ron Paul recently warned of this outcome.
In a sense, every time we report on the latest embarrassment to inflict America's geopolitical standing, we are helping the Globalists further their ultimate end game. Should we be silent on such issues? Obviously not. But we should go to great lengths to stress that these events are designed to make America look bad and they are designed to prop up the world government fake left-wing alternative of the EU and the UN.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Both Republicans and Democrats are reading off a script. On the very same day people like Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Joe Lieberman will come out in support of the war while Bush repeats tiresome cliches of staying the course. This is meant to make Americans turn away from the now obvious one party system and look to the international stage for relief.
The fact that a President who has to ask permission to use the bathroom and loses a battle of wits with a door is supposedly in charge of the biggest superpower on earth is again designed to make America look foolish in comparison to the austere, enlightened and rational image of the global government model.
The gigantic mess in Iraq fits in this same picture. When American troops finally do pull out they will be replaced by NATO forces. Even though, as is the case in Afghanistan, the turmoil will continue just the same, the media will rarely report on it and so the wider world will be hoodwinked into thinking that global government saved the day and cleaned up another filthy American quagmire.
Smaller scale terror attacks, as debated in the recent GOP 'terror memo,' occurring around the world and blamed on America's occupation of Iraq, will have the impact of locking in the domestic police state, while still giving the impression that the Bush administration is incompetent and wayward in prosecuting a 'war on terror' that doesn't even exist in the first place.
This whole unfolding scenario is only going to become clearer as we hurtle towards 2006.
America is meant to lose the war in Iraq. America is meant to lose the war on terror. America is meant to descend into anarchy at home.
The end of the age of American superpower status will be the entree for world government to step across the breach in the name of 'securing the interests of the planet' and any notion of national sovereignty will be cast aside and we will witness the birth of a new world order

Wonderfully animated and well-voiced, "Rio 2" is nevertheless too much. Too much plot, too many issues, too many characters. But not too much music.
Yes, the musical numbers reach saturation levels, but the Latin-influenced jamming and singing are absolutely fabulous. "Rio 2's" music might even save the 3-D animated action-adventure about endangered South American blue macaws from the terrible 2s that affect so many sequels.
The eclectic animal and human cast and respective star voices that "Rio" introduced in 2011 have all reconvened to continue the party. And the central troika responsible for "Rio's" progressive percussive sound — composer John Powell, executive music producer Sergio Mendes and Brazilian singer-songwriter Carlinhos Brown — are back and even better.
PHOTOS: Box office top 10 of 2013
The movie starts with a massive new year's celebration that looks and sounds a lot like Carnival. The great-looking character style of the first has been further refined, filling this imaginary world with appealing faces and intricate plumage, color bursting and completely in sync with the eye-popping frivolity going on, most of it seen from a bird's eye view.
Those rare billing and cooing macaws, Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel (Anne Hathaway), have become quite domesticated while raising their expanding brood. The chicks — studious Bia (Amandla Stenberg), adventurous Tiago (Pierce Gagnon) and teenage Carla (Rachel Crow) — are in various stages of becoming their own bird, which sets up some family friction.
Blu's human friends, eco-activists Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro) and Linda (Leslie Mann), are off in the Amazon trying to stop unlawful logging in the rain forest. When Tulio spots a random blue macaw feather, he becomes convinced there are more birds to be found. Word of the discovery hits the 24-hour news cycle and Jewel decides a search for a flock is as good a reason as any to give her citified kids a chance to connect with their inner wild thing. Blu, still nerdy after all these years, sporting a fanny pack using a GPS for navigation, is reluctant, but outnumbered.
This is merely director Carlos Saldanha's sometimes sluggish windup. Blu, Jewel, family and friends — Nico (Jamie Foxx), Pedro (will.i.am), Rafael (George Lopez) and Luiz (Tracy Morgan) — may be heading to the Amazon, but Yoni Brenner's script is heading in a dozen different directions.
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of movies and TV
To the Rio waterfront, for one, where the pompous Nigel (Jemaine Clement) is quoting Shakespeare, decrying the carnival sideshow he's chained to and deflecting the unwanted attention of his terribly annoying, terribly adoring fan, Gabi. Kristin Chenoweth is the irresistible voice of the poisonous frog and stands as one of the film's best new additions.
This trio is responsible for some of "Rio 2's" cleverest hijinks as Gabi and a tap-dancing anteater named Charlie, who uses his tongue not for talking but for several super sight gags, set Nigel free and follow him to the jungle so he can settle a grudge with Blu.
Then it's off to tour the director's favorite regional attractions. At least this detour across Brazil is made visually interesting with a temporary shift to a paper cutout animation style so that the screen occasionally looks like a pop-up book brought to life.
Things improve significantly when all the parties finally arrive in the Amazon, truly an animation paradise of possibilities from the dense undergrowth to the exotic creatures.
Throughout the film, Blu is in the pressure cooker, with Eisenberg improving as the temperature rises. No one turns it up higher than Eduardo (Andy Garcia), the father-in-law the nerdy bird's just met. The crusty old leader of the Amazon River's hidden macaw tribe isn't exactly impressed with his son-in-law, or his son-in-law's fanny pack. There will be tests.
RELATED: More movie reviews by The Times
A major one is Roberto (Bruno Mars), Jewel's old flame. Thanks to Mars, Roberto's a smooth operator, flirty and funny — and that voice. If there is a "Rio 3," sigh, let's at least lobby to have Roberto and Gabi, the lovely Broadway frog, take over.
That the film doesn't need Blu so much is underscored when Nico, Pedro and pals set up Carnival auditions in the heart of the jungle. All the musical and animation stops are pulled out for a series of show-stopping numbers.
Meanwhile the illegal loggers log, Tulio and Linda protest, Jewel goes slightly wild, the kids go rogue, the Carnival auditions go overtime, Nigel shows up with his scraggly remaining feathers seriously ruffled, and Blu loses his GPS. Whatever is a very blue blue macaw to do?
In trying to fly too high, "Rio 2" does too much flailing and floundering to soar. At least the music never misses a beat.

I've had this for a year now and can say this (+OPI Nail envy) are the reason I FIIIINNALLY have nails. I've always had peeling nails that were very soft. What this does is akin to fusing the layers of nail together to stop the peeling. As my nails were super short when i started i would 'paint' halfway up the nail to grow them out and i didn't use it every time i changed my nail colour, i used it once a week, every week and to see my nails grow and maintain length was incredible. I've never had to cut down nails and i know it was down to the amazing combo of this and OPI nail envy!

I have always had a hard time with chipping nails...especially in winter. The only saver was Shellac. I used it for about 6 months and decided it was too expensive and didn't quite go the 2 weeks for a 30-40 dollar plus tip price. I started doing it at home for a while but it was so time consuming and I was concerned about the condition of my nails. I did some research and started using Revlon Colorstay with Se Viche top coat. It helped me grow out my nails and the manicure lasted about a week. I can live with that since it uses regular nail polish remover and not the 20 minute soak and remove....and no lights! But, I was still having a problem with nail breaks...especially at the edges or if I lightly banged my hand. I read the review and decided to give Mavala a try. I figured since I was only using this product on the tips (or edges) the negatives of formaldehyde were pretty small. I have to say this is the first product that has really worked. It is a freezing cold winter here in NY and my nails are strong and not chipped. I do prefer to keep my nails with about a 1/4 inch growth and have actually had to file them down! I am not sure if the results would be the same for someone who wanted very long nails. I use it only once a week followed by polish. My manicure lasts a full week with slight wear at the edges....only noticable to me. I have had many compliments on my manicure for the first time. (Using dark purple color in the Revlon Colorstay, as well as the colorstay gel basecoat that I got on Amazon). Love it!

I bought it after I read all the great reviews here. I have been using it over a year now. It didn't help me grow longer nails. My nails have become brittle and still peeling. I am going to discontinue the use of this product and I do not recommend it.

Okay ladies, first things first: i have always had thin, peely, flaky nails that would grow out only the slightest bit only to flake apart and finally tear off completely. I started keeping my nails painted for added strength and that would work for awhile but at a certain point, my nails aould flake apart at the edges and thin layers would peel off, leaving me withc chipped polish and uneven nail lengths; the only option left was to file them down again and start over. my whole life. short, weak nails. I started using cuticle creme, barielle, hard as hoof, etc., & that helped, a bit. Then i discovered glass files and the proper way to file my nails (in one direction only) and that really helped keep the edges from splitting but my nails still peeled after a certain length.... in desperation i purchased nailteques nail strengthener formula 2 plus and that helped, but i found that it soon peeled off of my nails at the edges by the end of every day (even when i tried to baby my hands) where i needed protectiion the most! Finally came across a review of mavala nail hardener on a flamenco guitar players forum that seemed to work wonders for guitar players (who put their nails through total abuse) and went to my local ulta and purchased the only bottle they had left in the store. Been using it for two weeks now and definately noticed a difference! My nails are much stronger and although i've had a few instances of bashing them into door handles & such, no breaks or splitting or peeling yet!! i'm applying it to the tips of my nails every 4 days or so & to the whole nail when i change polish weekly and can feel the difference. its like magic! i do try to keep my nails moisturized with lotion at all times & i wear gloves when cleaning & doing dishes so the drying effect others have mentioned here isn't a problem for me at all. As a matter of fact, i'm a dog groomer and my hands are constantly in water and dog shampoo & disinfecting chemicals and no dryness / breakage noted while at work. Although i do wear playtex gloves for bathing & cleaning while at work, i feel that if i wasn't applying lotion constantly my nails would get extremely dry and start to break so i avoid that at all costs. I'm actually going to remove my polish now and start over with whole nail application, filing to shape my favorite (but before now impossible to maintain past an hour) square tips for french manicure!! I have never before been able to do this! If you want strong nails that you can show off your polish collection with, THIS is the only product you should be spending your money on. Well, this and the hard as hoof nail strengthing creme. My goodness, those two products are HG nail care items and now i'll never be without either of them. As for the cost of mavala, I think its totally worth it. I used a coupon at ulta, which brought the total down from $20 to $17.50 plus tax (which is the same on amazon w/o shipping so its probably the cheapest you can get it in the USA) and by the looks of it, this bottle is going to last me for about two years! Possibly more! If you think about it, that's an incredible bargain when the product lasts forever compared to nailteques / orly nail envy / sall hansen nail strenghteners / barielle products / etc.... that didn't help..... compared to all the money i've spent over the years on those , this is an absolute steal.
I like that the packaging is minimal that's why I rated it 5 lipsticks, as it's really neither here nor there in this instance.
As per the directions: apply weekly until nails are strong, then only once a month. Other reviewers have been slightly altering their application as necessary and so have I, without harmful effect. It seems that the only way to guarantee success is to keep your nails & cuticles moisturized at all times or they will dry out. If you have a weak nail problem like mine, please give this product a try & you won't regret it!!!
I did notice a little muted stinging/burning sensation when i applied mavala under my nail tips (where it touched my skin) only on the first, heavy-handed application which i washed off immediately. Now when i apply it i still put it under my nail tips and haven't noticed any weird sensations. I'm careful to watch out for "skin hardening" that others have mentioned but haven't seen any evidence of it so far. I think you have to be careful where you apply it & if you are, then you have nothing to worry about. Hope this review helps someone here, I've been a lurker on MUA for years and this is the product that convinced me to leave my first review! Thanks MUA for giving me such good advice over the years on what to spend my hard earned money on wisely when it comes to makeup!
One last thing, my coworkers all marvel at the length of my nails and openly wonder how i possibly can keep them this long! LOL my polish lasts much longer without chips at the tips now that i'm using mavala so they wonder about my polish staying power as well! I tell them I use seche vite and thats it! HA!

This is a great product. It does as it advertises and hardened my nails as well as sped up the growth a bit.
I have noticed that it dries out my nails and that seems to be the only flaw. I don't mind it because once it's soaked in, I apply some Bliss Kiss Pure Nail Oil and the dryness is remedied. I assume this would work with any nail or cuticle oil, so it really shouldn't deter you from trying it out for yourself!

It makes the nails grow faster and stronger but mine still peel and since peeling nails was the reason i bought this I am not completely satisfied with it and will probably go back to nailtiques formula 2 plus which helped me more. What I liked about the product though was how much I still have left even after weekly use. It works differently than other treatments because it literally soaks into your nails and you can't see it after it dries. I used it once to twice a week and in the first month or so it worked great but as I said, the nails are still peeling, perhaps even more than before. I also hate how it stings after application if some of the liquid transfers to my cuticles or touches the skin around the nail. I would not repurchase.

Summit Series for Families 2009
This is a new company that will be hosting authors, experts and educators in a series of live teleconferences and webinars aimed at spotlighting different parenting/teaching and learning styles. The goal of the seminars is to foster open communication between parents and experts and even teens, when the subject matter is appropriate.
Our target is both the educator/author/speaker and the parenting community. Our topics will range from issues that impact elementary-school children all the way up to teens. We cater to parents who are open to hearing new ideas and looking for online conversation around ideas, parenting books and educational issues.
Each year, the logo will change. For instance, SummitSeries2009.com is this year's website but that web address will point to SummitSeries 2010 starting in January. I don't have any preferences right now on colors or styles. We'll be dealing with issues that pertain to both boys and girls so I want the logo to be gender-neutral.

North Carolinian Mike Howard and his son grow strawberries and an assortment of vegetables for local retail sale. Over the years, they've built up a loyal clientele.
About half of their customers go out in the field and pick their own produce; the others place an order and come get it when it's ready. They count on the Howards for quality, and the Howards count on regional agronomists to help them provide it.
"My family has been farming since 1938," Howard said. "For decades, tobacco was our family's mainstay. Today there is a big demand for local produce. Customers want products they can trust, so now that's our niche. Children, especially, like to go out in the field and pick."
Howard's farming has shifted focus over the years. In the 1970s, Howard put up chicken houses. In the 1980s, he began growing strawberries on matted rows. In 1985, as the North Carolina Department of Agriculture expanded its field services program statewide, Howard began turning to his regional agronomist, J. Ben Knox, for crop nutrient management advice. That change was followed closely in the early 1990s by yet another — the innovation of growing crops on plastic.
"Plasticulture was being promoted at the time as a way to produce a cleaner crop with higher yields," Howard said. "Of course, it also had more annual costs, required more inputs and made it necessary to have buyers lined up ahead of time. I started out with half an acre of plastic and, at first, thought it was easy."
When Howard expanded his acreage the next year, it was a different story. He found that with chickens, tobacco and both matted-row and plasticulture strawberries, there were too many tasks to do in the spring. So in 1995, Howard decided to limit his operation to chickens and plasticulture crops. The two enterprises have proved to be compatible.
Today the Howards grow many crops, including strawberries, pumpkins, corn, tomatoes, beans and squash. Plasticulture keeps down the weeds, helps conserve soil moisture and makes harvest cleaner. Because each crop has different nutrient needs, the Howards depend on NCDA&CS consulting and agronomic testing services to help them get the fertilization right.
"If we started a crop and didn't have access to the Agronomic Division, we'd be in trouble," Howard said. "We use all of the agronomic testing services — soil testing, tissue analysis, nematode assay, waste analysis and solution analysis — and we've worked with several regional agronomists. Each one has an area of specialty, but they network and share information so everyone benefits. They help keep us on track."
When Howard decided to stop growing tobacco and shift completely to plasticulture, several people told him he probably would not need to apply any phosphorus fertilizer. Conventional wisdom said that after decades of fertilizing tobacco, the soil would already be sufficiently rich in this nutrient.
Tests told a different story
Soil test results told a different story. Howard broached the issue with Knox, who pointed out that the soils in Howard's fields were a patchwork mix of a red clay and a gray, sandier soil. These soil types had different capacities to retain phosphorus. Knox suggested that Howard should consider using the poultry house litter from his own farm for areas needing extra phosphorus.
Howard was hesitant. He knew the litter would be a good source of phosphorus, but he was afraid it would provide too much nitrogen for strawberries. Cautiously, he put out litter in the fall nearly a year before planting strawberries. That winter and spring, he let a neighbor grow barley in the field to deplete some of the nitrogen. The strawberry crop did not incur any problems with excess nitrogen.
Howard is glad he followed up on Knox's recommendation. His current routine is to apply litter to a ryegrass cover crop in March or April when the layer houses are cleaned out. He still likes the fact that the ryegrass cover crop uses some of the excess nitrogen before strawberries are planted in September. And after strawberries are harvested, he can plant yet another crop — pumpkins — directly into the existing plastic.
The amount of litter the Howards apply depends jointly on the results of the waste analysis and soil test reports. Due to the different soil types, they often spot-apply commercial fertilizer — putting it out only where it is needed based on soil test results. Before planting, they also use a nematode assay to establish whether pre-plant treatment is necessary and solution analysis to check the pH and salt content of their irrigation water source.
"Plasticulture is a hard job and a big expense," Howard said. "The farmer is dependent on an entire system working. If it doesn't, he could lose his whole crop. It pays to take precautions. I'm not a gardener. I need to make a living."
Knox said tissue analysis is one of the best tools available to plasticulture growers.
"Test results are available within a couple of days and give a precise snapshot of the nutrient needs of each crop," Knox said. "The test can even detect deficiencies before symptoms appear and losses occur. For high-value, intensively managed crops, tissue testing is the best way to optimize fertilizer input costs and obtain desired yields. It is particularly useful for Mike since he grows two successive crops on plastic. By monitoring nutrient use with tissue testing on a bi-weekly basis, he knows exactly how and when to adjust fertigation."
The Howards are firm believers in the benefits of agronomic testing. But even more than the testing, they appreciate being able to talk to a real person about what their report results mean.
"The good thing about working with regional agronomists is that they know all about sampling procedures, test results and nutrient management," said Howard's son Brian, "and . . . they answer their phone after hours."
The NCDA&CS Agronomic Division has 13 regional agronomists who are striving to lend special assistance to plasticulture growers this year. Thanks to a grant from the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission, the Division has been able to hold two plasticulture training workshops, offer growers free vouchers for plant tissue analysis, and offset the travel costs involved in on-site visits by regional agronomists. Growers with an interest in plasticulture are encouraged to contact their regional agronomist for advice. Visit http://www.ncagr.gov/agronomi/rahome.htm for contact information.

SAN RAMON, CA—24 Hour Fitness opened a 24 Hour Fitness Shaq Sport last weekend with professional basketball player Shaquille O'Neal on hand. This facility, which is the second in a series of signature clubs opened by the club company and O'Neal, is located in Pembroke Pines, FL. A third Shaq club is scheduled to open in Texas before the end of the year.
O'Neal added his signature touch to the 44,000-square-foot club by including Miami Heat basketball memorabilia, his own voice inspiring members to keep their minds on the glory—and a shower large enough for the 7 foot, 1 inch Heat basketball player. The club also has an expanded Kids Club featuring video games, TVs, air hockey, basketball, a space maze and a toddler play area.
