Eliminate Your Fear of Failure with Prof McMurphy's Subliminal Techniques
iOS iPhone Productivity
One Powerful Secret About Your Fear of Failure
By the time you are done reading this entire description, you may realize the power of this one secret….When you click "More" below you will find out exactly what it is.
Answer this…How much do you think you could accomplish if you allowed yourself to fall on your face trying?
Sometimes it feels safer to just do nothing and be average, does it not? You don't stick your neck out and you don't get burned right? But you also never do anything great either right? As you continue to read this, you will find out exactly why this cycle keeps happening to you, but
Let me ask you this first….
What would your life be like 5, 10, 15 years from now if you keep doing what you are doing?
Do this for me-ask yourself each of the questions below (one at a time) and after each one close your eyes and visualize the answer…
What does your life look like?
Are you living up to your potential?
What regrets do you have?
Now, let's turn the tables….why do you want to make a change? That's why you are here reading this entire description to begin with isn't it?
Just imagine your life when you lose the fear of failure permanently…
Picture the things you can do
How does it feel to have no fear?
Feel the confidence of being able to do anything you want anytime
That is something you could live with for sure, is it not? Ok, I've promised you the secret to why things haven't worked in the past and how you can easily change this right now in a short amount of time. Here it is…
Fear of failure is deep inside of you (and you probably don't even realize it)
I know, I know right now you're saying "what are you talking about?, I read this whole thing just for this?" Just continue to the end and trust me, it will be worth it. Life changing kind of worth it…
Think about this for a second….any decision you make will be affected by the fear of failure that you may not even realize is there. And it will continue unless you change your internal thoughts, beliefs and actions to model that of someone who is fearless. This is exactly why things never change because we continue to do the same things over and over expecting different results (Einstein's definition of insanity).
But the good news is you can make a permanent change quickly and easily. And that's where we can help you.
The great news is you don't need to spend hours in therapy to figure out "why" if you just change the connections in your brain at the subconscious level.
By sending daily messages to your subconscious using our app, you can quickly and effortlessly eliminate limiting beliefs that cause you to be stuck which will allow you to lose the fear of failure permanently.
So, I'm sure you are wondering how much it's going to cost you to eliminate your fear of failure problems forever?
That's the best part.
For a good therapist it will cost you $150 per session, but we don't want you to spend anywhere near $150… You will pay our app only ONCE and you will have it forever; that's much more convenient and much less expensive than any therapist.
For a limited time you will get our app for less than some of the best subliminal DVD's on the market. You can make permanent change quickly and easily right on your phone!
***Click on the Buy App button now (if not in ITunes, click "view in ITunes")***
And don't take our word for it that this will change your life….here is what an actual client had to say:
"Wow! I can't believe that something as easy as watching beautiful images on my phone could somehow change my habits. Thanks so much and have a great day!"
Imagine having these results for yourself…..
PS: Here is what another satisfied client had to say:
"Worth every penny, it changed my life"

Beijing Love Story
This romantic-comedy roundelay gets better as it gradually moves away from comedy toward more sentimental material.
Dennis Harvey
Taking a rather blatant page from the Richard Curtis playbook of romantic-comedy roundelays, "Beijing Love Story" serves up a chocolate box of disparate narrative sweets, offered in episodic rather than interwoven form. This first feature for writer-director Chen Sicheng (also a member of the ensemble cast) spins off his 2012 Chinese TV series of the same name, albeit sans any returning characters or story threads. Pleasant results manage a trick rather infrequent for this genre, in that the pic actually gets better as it gradually moves away from comedy toward more sentimental material. Launched on Valentine's Day (natch) in various markets, including nine North American screens, the film set a single-day record for a 2D film in China with $16.1 million, and is sure to generate sequels and imitations.
Running heedlessly toward the requisite "girl of his dreams" in traffic, young architect Chen Feng (helmer Chen) is promptly creamed by a passing bus. Reflecting that he never imagined his story would end this way as he flies through the air, he recalls the fateful night he met Shen Yan (Tong Liya) at a friend's bachelor party. It's love at first sight, and surprisingly — especially given that he's initially very drunk and vomits endlessly — she feels likewise. The problem is that he has no assets, and her parents would much prefer she marry a rich suitor already waiting in the wings.
Chen's boss, Wu Zheng (Wang Xuebing), merrily brags that over a decade of marriage, he's cheated nonstop on his wife, Zhang Lei (Yu Nan). However, when she finally figures out what he's really up to during his nightly "business dinners," that achievement suddenly doesn't seem so funny anymore. Her attempts at revenge infidelity don't go so well, including with her own boss (Tony Leung Ka-fai), who soon jets off for a sinfully glamorous (and expensive) Greek seaside rendezvous with what appears to be his longtime mistress (Carina Lau). But it turns out they're just role playing in an attempt to jazz up a more conventional relationship.
They've come a long, jaded way from home, where their innocent teenage daughter (cellist Nana Ou-yang) is forbidden to enter a TV talent contest with the other members of her string quartet. The boy (Liu Haoran) who has a crush on her — and who can also literally see people's "auras" — decides to make that dream come true nonetheless. On the opposite end of the age scale, the boy's grandfather, Old Wang (Wang Qingxiang), is enduring the strenuous efforts of Mrs. Gao's (Siqin Gaowa) to hook him up with a suitable older lady; he's unimpressed until she arranges a blind date with an attractive divorcee who has just returned after two decades in America.
Pic moves from initially raunchy comedy through spy-movie parody, sex farce, disarmingly wide-eyed adolescent love and finally bittersweet melodrama, never entirely forsaking humor or an earnest belief in romantic love despite all the surface shifts. While there's no great originality on display here, "Beijing Love Story" handles its full range of stylistic and tonal gambits with impressive assurance. A strong performance or a well-placed sober moment always brings things back to terra firma whenever they turn a bit over-the-top.
Flashiest in its first reel, especially editorially, the widescreen feature maintains a refreshing attention to composition, color and camera movement in a genre that too often dispenses with visual finesse in favor of TV-style functionality. All tech contributions are high-grade.

Many professionals in information security espouse the belief-and commitment to-"risk based" security management. In fact, according to the latest Ponemon Report on Risk Management, 77% of those surveyed claimed a commitment to it. Ironically, the analysis of the responses collected by the survey indicated that despite their stated intentions, most of the respondents and their organizations were not acting in ways that reflected this commitment. While this disconnect is not uncommon, it is nonetheless disconcerting.
In response to this finding we felt it useful to offer guidance to those who wish to implement an RBSM program. We believe these recommendations will not only help you understand the general steps to take, but also provide indicators of your progress.

In an airline industry first, British Airways' Know Me program uses Google images to ID its best customers even before they set foot in the airport. The airline has equipped its customer service agents and senior cabin crew with iPads so they can easily tap into and share information about customers, including their preferences, flight history and yes, photos.
While British Airways says the program, which launched earlier this month, helps "put a face to the name," it's got some people asking whether the airline is going the extra mile or just acting downright creepy.
The idea behind the initiative, the airline said, is to personalize the flying experience. It gave the example of a Silver Executive Club member flying in business class for the first time. Crew members would know to welcome that customer and explain the benefits of the cabin.
Or if a regular traveler has experienced problems on previous flights, such as delays, crew members would be informed of that so they could acknowledge the previous problems and thank the customer for his or her continued patronage.
Jo Boswell, head of customer analysis at British Airways, said, "We're essentially trying to re-create the feeling of recognition you get in a favorite restaurant when you're welcomed there, but in our case it will be delivered by thousands of staff to millions of customers."
Despite such stated good intentions, the program is not without its critics. "Since when has buying a flight ticket meant giving your airline permission to start hunting for information about you on the Internet?" Nick Pickles, director of the London-based privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch, told the Los Angeles Times.
But George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, told ABC News he thought the program was a "great idea," saying the airline wasn't snooping into private records, only using information that's already been made public and is easily obtainable on the Internet.
"I think the more the airline knows about the passenger, the better service they can provide," Hobica said. "I wouldn't be creeped out by this. I'd be somewhat flattered that at least on BA, I'm finally famous."
Certainly, there will be kinks to work out. If the airline relies soley on Google images to recognize customers, mistakes are bound to be made, especially for those fliers who share a name with others.
But according to Boswell, customers, at least so far, seem to like the Know Me program. "The early results have been extremely positive. Our customers love being recognized and treated as individuals, and our customer service staff and cabin crew [can] deliver a really bespoke service."
British Airways isn't the first in the travel industry to collect information beyond what's given when a reservation is made. Starwood hotels, which owns such brands as W, Westin, Sheraton and St. Regis, uses social media to collect information about its guests as part of a program called Global Personalization at Starwood.
Starwood calls it game-changing innovation, but criticism on at least one popular travel message board has been blistering.
As for Know Me, British Airways plans to grow the program. "This is just the start, said Boswell. "The system has myriad possibilities for the future."

It has been three weeks since the phenomenon that is Andrew Luck has entered the NFL. With one win and two losses to his name thus far, Luck has justified some of the expectations placed on him coming into his rookie season, but he still has much to learn.
The NFL is the elite of football, and players are never done learning. Luck has run the ball well and proven his intelligence and maturity on various occasions, but he is no exception to the rule. The Colts have a bye this week, and Luck must use it to its fullest extent to help his team continue to move forth from an atrocious 2011 season.
Here are the things he needs to work on this week:
Increase Completion Percentage
This statistic is always skewed as it relies on receivers and defenders as well as quarterbacks, but there is still a certain level starting quarterbacks are expected to remain at. Completing 53.3 percent of your passes through 122 attempts is not at that level.
The Colts already have offensive struggles, and they can't afford to see balls hitting the turf. Improved protection is part of the equation, but Luck must spend the week getting comfortable in the pocket. He completed 71.3 percent of his passes last season at Stanford, so he is capable of consistent accuracy.
Now, he just needs to show it again at the next level.
Rest of the Team
This one isn't really on Luck, but he can help it out. The specific problem is the running game. Through their first three games, the Colts have averaged only 90.3 rush yards per game on an abysmal 3.7 yards per carry.
An effective passing offense opens up lanes for the running game, but the opposite is true as well. Luck needs to have a running game established around him in order to gain some time when he drops back. If Luck can complete a varied length of passes, the running game will see more space, but ultimately Luck can't do it alone and needs help.
Furthermore, this week off will allow Luck to continue to work with his receivers and gain some trust.
Costly errors
Luck has been effective overall thus far, and that comes from avoiding errors—but he has hasn't been perfect. In such a weak offense, each of his errors are magnified.
Luck has thrown five touchdowns, but he also has four interceptions including a horrific one to Paul Posluszny. That kind of throw is unacceptable, and Luck needs to consistently demonstrate the maturity that made him such a coveted asset.

I have been running into an issue on MOSS 2007 for the last two weeks, users are reporting extremely slow responses from SharePoint, a lot are reporting time outs when doing anything within Sharepoint. I have run through all the usual items and cant find anything that could be causing this, it is definitely not load as there are roughly 10 to 20 people using SharePoint currently in the Christmas period, which is at roughly 200 when everyone is in the office.
We have found some locks on the UserData table in the DB but clearing these when they happen only provides a marginal improvement. I have checked with both the server and network teams who have indicated that there is no updates/work happening on the servers/networks.
Has anyone have some ideas on other stuff to look at in or out of SharePoint that maybe causing this slow response and time out?

San Juan, Puerto Rico, Feb 28, 2014 / 03:05 pm (CNA).- Archbishop Roberto Gonzalez Nieves of San Juan and Bishop Daniel Fernandez Torres of Arecibo in Puerto Rico have handed over a group of priests accused of sexual abuse to civil authorities.
In statements to the media, Archbishop Gonzalez Nieves said six cases of alleged sexual abuse of minors by priests have been turned over to Puerto Rican prosecutors.
He pledged "the full cooperation of the Archdiocese, regardless of whether the person who committed the abuse is a minister, employee or volunteer. This entire process, while painful, should be an occasion for reaching the ultimate goal, which is the well-being and protection of minors."
"None of these priests is currently in ministry," the archbishop emphasized. "Some of the cases have gone before the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and others have exceeded the statute of limitations. One (accused individual) is dead, another was tried in court in Bayamon and another is outside Puerto Rico."For his part, Bishop Daniel Fernandez of Arecibo filed a complaint with police and the Department of the Family against one accused priest.
The attorney for the Diocese of Arecibo, Frank Torres-Viada, said that once accusations were made against the priest, "the Diocese of Arecibo proceeded to immediately and decisively activate the protocol for handling accusations of sexual abuse and referred the matter to civil authorities."
"The Diocese of Arecibo and its bishop reaffirm their commitment to absolute transparency and cooperation in eradicating the scourge of sexual abuse against minors in the Catholic Church," Torres-Viada told reporters.

I'm working on a 3d terrain. I tried out some existing GLSL implementations for bump mapping using normal maps from a Procedural Infinite 3D Cave Generation tutorial.
The actual code that I used is in the Cave3D repository, not the one in the post. Here's their vertex shader and their fragment shader. The textures can be found on the same repository.
Note that this shader uses tri-planar texturing.
The problem is that I'm getting the following artifacts - black spots:
Does anyone have a clue why this is happening?

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. -- United States Marines have not always been the precision shooters they are today. The history of Marine Corps competitive marksmanship began with the M1903 Springfield in the early 1900s. The Camp Pendleton Shooting Team intends to continue passing the competative marksmanship traditions to the new generation using the modern M16A4 Match Rifle.
Seven members of Camp Pendleton's shooting team experienced a thrilling competition during a National Rifle Associations' shooting match at Twentynine Palms' known-distance firing range Nov. 17.
These Marines have been training to become precision shooters and rebuild Camp Pendleton's Shooting Team.
The last time Camp Pendleton had an operational shooting team was about three years ago.
This past summer Sgt. Mark D. Windmassinger, 27, the noncommissioned officer in charge of the Camp Pendleton Shooting Team, said he was approached by another Marine who wanted to start a shooting team. Windmassinger spoke to several Marines to generate interest for the team, which is when he found Lt. Crystal J. Sokoff, who is now the Camp Pendleton Shooting Team captain. Together Sokoff and Windmassinger rebuilt Camp Pendleton's shooting team, which now has 13 members training to compete.
In competition marksmanship, shooters are provided with some resources that are not used for the annual training rifle qualification. Competitors are supplied with unique shooting jackets and non-slip, leather rifle slings that provide additional stability, and long-distance scouting scopes to sight shots at distances more than 600 yards.
Camp Pendleton's shooting team practices precision shooting and continues to strive for excellence.
"In the Marine Corps, 'hitting black' will score you maximum points for a shot on a standard qualification," said Lance Cpl. Enrique A. Ipina, the force preservation noncommissioned officer in charge for Headquarters and Support Battalion, who is talking about precision shooting by aiming center area on a target. "In a shooting match hitting black just isn't good enough; you have to hit the center of black."
The Camp Pendleton team was able to finish the competition here with a team match win and a few individual wins their first time competing as a team. The individual awards included top high master shooter, master shooter, standing, sitting and prone among others.
"Most of the time when you have a brand-new team, they tend to have a lot of issues with simple stuff such as gear set up and scoring," said Windmassinger, who has more than 7 years of experience in competition shooting. "My Marines did phenomenal for their first time shooting as a team."

BlackBerry's new Q10 smartphone will officially be launched in Australia next month, the company has announced.
The Q10 is the first smartphone with a physical, QWERTY keyboard that runs the new BlackBerry 10 operating system. It's just the second BlackBerry 10 device to launch in Australia, following the release of the touchscreen-only Z10 earlier this year.
The BlackBerry Q10 will be available on a range of contract plans through Optus and Telstra from Monday, July 1, and Tuesday, July 2, respectively. The device will also be sold through bricks and mortar retailers Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi.
BlackBerry Australia's managing director, Matthew Ball, said in a statement that the company is "excited" to be launching the Q10 Down Under.
We are excited to be working with our partners to bring the first BlackBerry 10 smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard to customers in Australia."
"The BlackBerry Q10 smartphone offers customers the power and performance of the BlackBerry 10 platform in a signature BlackBerry design."
BlackBerry says the Q10's 3.1in touchscreen is the largest ever on a BlackBerry QWERTY smartphone. However, the presence of the physical keypad cuts into the size of the touchscreen and makes it significantly smaller than most competing smartphones. The screen has a resolution of 720x720, giving it a pixel density of 330ppi.
The BlackBerry Q10 has high-end specifications. The phone is powered by a 1.5GHz dual core Snapdragon processor, has 2GB of RAM and comes with 16GB of internal memory. A microSD card slot allows for memory expansion.
Other features include a micro-HDMI port for connecting the phone to a TV, 4G capabilities, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2-megapixel front camera.
The BlackBerry 10 operating system powering the Q10 uses a gesture-based interface, which is a departure from previous BlackBerry products.
The software utilises a central "BlackBerry Hub" to manage all messages and notifications and has an advanced multitasking feature called "BlackBerry Flow".
Telstra and Optus are yet to announce specific pricing plans for the BlackBerry Q10.
Are you interested in the BlackBerry Q10? Do you still prefer a physical keyboard over a touchscreen? Let us know in the comments below!

OK, this must be a very very simple question for ASP programmers to answer.
After I have gathered all the information I want from the user and after
the user has clicked on a submit button, how do I make an operating system
style call on the server.
Now, I have already figured out how to create a function call in the ASP
development environment that is called when the user clicks on the submit
So my qesttion is to how to create a system level command through ASP.
Specifically, I am using ASP.NET. Let me explain further. I have just completed
a program that is very simular to the #3 AJAX demo that Joe Strgner has made on
http://asp.net/learn/ajax-videos/ where he gets users to select from a group
of "CascadingDropDown" control extender classes. When the user has selected
from the third drop down control, a label is custom formatted and displays the
group of selected options.
What I want to do is this. After this is done, I want to have a "submit" button
on this page which, when the user presses it, a call is made on the server side
that will include the users selections as parameters.
Something like this, for example:
"CALL SOMEPROGRAM.EXE " selection_1, selection_2
I think I will ask this question in a simpler way.
Notepad is a program that can be launched from the command line.
I can open a CMD window (dos window) and on the command line,
I can type "notepad" and the notepad execuatble will launch and I will
see that program. So, how would I do that inside asp.net and
specifically inside the Default.aspx.cs file which will get called
when the user clicks on the send button in the function
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Is there some sort of "run" command in asp.net like "run notepad"?
I also need to have some information specific to the user included in the submit.
We are on an intranet and each user has an alias. How do I snag this information?

Echoing GOP scare tactics, Kristol, Novak, and Sullivan conflated embryonic stem-cell research with human cloning
Weekly Standard editor William Kristol and CNN host Robert D. Novak wrongly claimed that proponents of the bill recently passed by the House of Representatives to permit federal funding for embryonic stem cell research are motivated by their support for human cloning. On Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, Kristol said the debate on the bill was "really about cloning, which is what the scientists want to do," while Novak said on CNN's Crossfire that support for the stem cell bill reflected a "desire to have human cloning."
Kristol's and Novak's assertions echo statements by Republican House members opposed to embryonic stem cell research who are trying to link in the public's mind embryonic stem cell research, which polls show the public widely supports, with human cloning, which polls show is unpopular.
During a panel discussion about the bill, Kristol claimed that the embryonic stem cell bill marks a step toward human cloning. The bill, H.R. 810, would allow federal funding for research using stem cell lines derived from embryos left over from in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments:
KRISTOL: But, I mean, in fact, this [debate] is really about cloning, which is what the scientists want to do. Because that's the way you get the designer stem lines. The IVF embryos are of limited utility for the scientific research that the biogeneticists want to do. This is an attempt to move down the path which other states, of course, have already provided funding for -- California -- for the actual creation of cloned embryos, which are going to be destroyed to create designer genes, basically. The president is against creating embryos for the sake of destroying them.
Contrary to Kristol's suggestion, the House bill would permit funding only for research on stem cell lines derived from excess embryos that would otherwise be destroyed. The bill maintains Bush's existing ban on federal funding for research on stem cells derived from embryos, cloned or otherwise, that were originally created for purposes other than fertility treatment, as Media Matters for America has noted.
In addition, many House members who supported the stem cell bill also voted for the "Human Cloning Prohibition Act" (H.R. 534). This act would ban all cloning of humans or human tissues and would apply to the procedure itself, not just federal funding for it. That bill passed the House in February 2003, but died in the Senate [Los Angeles Times, 5/23/05]. One House member who voted for the stem cell bill, Rep. Randy Cunningham (R-CA), noted during the debate on H.R. 810 that "I do not support cloning."
Novak also linked the embryonic stem cell legislation and human cloning on CNN's Crossfire. Novak said that the push to fund embryonic stem cell research is "all a desire to have human cloning to determine the superiority of man over God." He also claimed the stem cell bill was "junk science." In fact, the National Institutes of Health states that scientists are "excited about human embryonic stem cells" because "[s]tem cells have potential in many different areas of health and medical research."
Conservative commentator Andrew Sullivan made a claim similar to Kristol's and Novak's on the May 28 edition of the syndicated Chris Matthews Show. Sullivan responded to host Matthews' summary of H.R. 810 by claiming, "We're talking about people, on embryos, who would be human beings if they were implanted in a womb. That is not a trivial matter. We're talking about creating possibly clones of people to experiment on them." Sullivan admitted that cloning was not in the legislation after Matthews challenged him.
These comments echoed talking points by the Republican Study Committee, a group of 100 House Republicans that favors "a conservative social and economic agenda." In a May 24 memo on H.R. 810, the group wrote that the bill would allow federally funded research on cloned human embryos and would constitute a "first step" toward allowing therapeutic cloning:
Because the bill overrides current law, if a human embryo clone was created by an in-vitro fertilization clinic for fertility purposes, H.R. 810 would allow federal funds for research on the human clone embryo. Opponents of H.R. 810 have noted that most of the organizations most actively promoting H.R. 810, such as the Biotechnology Industry Organization and the Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research, are also strong supporters of a certain type of cloning they call therapeutic cloning. At a May 11 press conference in support of H.R. 810, Senator Orrin Hatch [R-UT], the sponsor of a pro-human cloning bill, referred to H.R. 810 as a critical first step, an apparent reference to a procloning bill being the next step.
But since the bill allows federal research funding only for embryos "created for the purposes of fertility treatment," the fear that the bill would enable scientists to create clones specifically designed to yield stem cells with "designer genes" is baseless.
From the May 29 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, with Washington Post staff writer Ceci Connolly and Fox News host Chris Wallace:
CONNOLLY: You know, I'm glad you showed some of those [video clips of House Republicans who spoke in support of the embryonic stem cell research bill], Chris, because that debate on Tuesday in the House was truly one of the most interesting, remarkable floor debates I've heard in many years here in Washington. It was extremely personal and emotional for many of these individuals, either they or a family member suffering from some sort of terrible illness that they think might be helped by this science.
And interestingly, a lot of these lawmakers and the public have learned a lot over the past four years about embryonic stem cell research and what's involved. And essentially this argument came down to a discussion about whether or not you think those cell lines taken from an embryo in a petri dish is life. And if you believe that that is life, as the president says he does, then they object to it. If not, as Jo Ann Emerson said, then you feel that that can be used to extend life. It was a very rich debate.
WALLACE: I'm not sure that the bigger issue wasn't the question of the embryos, and that the embryos that they were very -- it was very narrow, what they were talking about, the embryos that have been used in in vitro fertility clinics that had not in fact been used, they were the leftovers, and that would have been thrown away. So, I mean, I don't think there's much support in Congress for creating new embryos and certainly not for cloning. It was that they, you know, for these, quote, "spare embryos" --
CONNOLLY: That you would extract the cell lines from, precisely.
KRISTOL: But, I mean, in fact, this is really about cloning, which is what the scientists want to do. Because that's the way you get the designer stem lines. The IVF embryos are of limited utility for the scientific research that the biogeneticists want to do. This is an attempt to move down the path which other states, of course, have already provided funding for -- California -- for the actual creation of cloned embryos, which are going to be destroyed to create designer genes, basically. The president is against creating embryos for the sake of destroying them.
I think actually, if he makes the case to the country, I'm not sure where the country ends up on this. The claims of the science and medicine are very powerful. But people do have the sense that this really is a slippery slope, and you have to draw a line somewhere. Maybe the country isn't quite willing to draw the line where President Bush is in terms of federal funding, but I'm not sure that ultimately this -- you know, there were a lot of powerful speeches by the 190 congressmen who opposed this, many of whom have family members who suffer from diseases. And who said, "Wait a second. We can't change the whole moral constitution of the country because, unfortunately, someone suffers from a disease."
On the May 27 broadcast of CNN's Crossfire, Novak responded to progressive columnist Margaret Carlson:
CARLSON: Hopefully, the U.S. Senate will follow suit. Even that raving lefty Orrin Hatch sees the highest moral purpose of a clump of cells is not to sit on the shelf in an IVF clinic or to be discarded, but to save the life of a human, breathing, suffering person. Hopefully the Senate will heed the call of their colleague, Senator Arlen Specter [R-PA], battling cancer at this very moment as he pleads for reason from the right wing of his party.
NOVAK: This is a very sad story, because this is junk science. There is no proof that this is going to help anybody. It's undetermined. And what this is, it is all a desire to have human cloning to determine the superiority of man over God. This is a very serious thing. And in Boston today, Margaret --
CARLSON: Yes, Boston, I know Boston.
NOVAK: [Massachusetts] Gov. Mitt Romney vetoed a human cloning bill.
From the May 28 broadcast of the syndicated Chris Matthews Show:
MATTHEWS: We're talking about common sense -- Howard [Fineman, panelist and Newsweek chief political correspondent] used the phrase, I think it's right. We're talking about when you go to a fertility clinic and people who want to have babies are having problems having babies, they fertilize eggs, they have a number of them left on the shelves, they're in a cryogenic state, they're frozen. They're talking about using those that would ultimately be destroyed for medical research.
SULLIVAN: We're talking about experimenting on people, on embryos, who would be human beings if they were implanted in a womb. That is not a trivial matter. We're talking about creating possibly clones of people to experiment on them.
MATTHEWS: Who is talking about that?
SULLIVAN: The clones of embryos are being used, have been made in Korea. They will be shortly -- they're being used in other countries.
MATTHEWS: That's not in this legislation.
SULLIVAN: Not in it, but I'm saying it doesn't matter whether they're clones or not, they're human life that we're experimenting on. There is a real moral question here. Why should the federal government be funding this kind of -- they're not saying ban it as Norah [O'Donnell, NBC chief Washington correspondent] rightly says and which the media I think has been guilty of distorting, we're saying why should the federal government be funding experimenting on human life?

Ireland XV v Fiji, November 17
Ulster dominate Ireland XV to face Fiji
ESPN Staff
November 15, 2012
Jamie Heaslip will skipper the Ireland XV against Fiji at © Getty Images
Ireland have retained just three players from the side that lost to South Africa last weekend for their match against Fiji at Thomond Park on Saturday.
No.8 Jamie Heaslip will start again at the back of the scrum and will once again captain the side while scrum-half Conor Murray and tight-head Mike Ross also keep their places. Coach Declan Kidney has also opted to blood three uncapped players although they will not be making their Test debuts as it is a non-cap fixture.
Luke Marshall, Craig Gilroy and Paddy Jackson get the nod at inside centre, wing and fly-half respectively and they are among six players from PRO12 leaders Ulster to be included. Elsewhere, Denis Hurley starts at fullback with Fergus McFadden and Darren Cave completing the backs. In the pack, David Kilcoyne, who won his first cap from the bench last weekend, starts at loose-head with Sean Cronin and Ross alongside him.
In the locks Donncha O'Callaghan and Dan Tuohy are partnered while Iain Henderson, John Muldoon and skipper Heaslip gets the nod in the back-row. Leinster fly-half Jonathan Sexton is named on the bench alongside Munster flyer Simon Zebo and Ulster scrum-half Paul Marshall.
New Zealand-born prop Michael Bent, who made his Test debut against the Springboks despite arriving in Ireland only two weeks earlier, must settle for a place among the replacements after losing out to Ross. Ulster's Chris Henry is also included with Donnacha Ryan, Michael Bent, Cian Healy and Richardt Strauss completing the eight-man bench.
"We know it will be a difficult test and this is a vote of confidence for the players we've picked," coach Declan Kidney said. "We know they'll do a job and they've been training really well over the last two and a half weeks. We feel they deserve their go."
Ireland, who face Argentina in the climax to their autumn internationals on Saturday week, have won all three previous meetings with Fiji.
Ireland XV: Denis Hurley, Fergus McFadden, Darren Cave, Luke Marshall, Craig Gilroy, Paddy Jackson, Conor Murray, David Kilcoyne, Sean Cronin, Mike Ross, Donncha O'Callaghan, Dan Tuohy, Iain Henderson, John Muldoon, Jamie Heaslip
Replacements: Richardt Strauss, Cian Healy, Michael Bent, Donncha Ryan, Chris Henry, Paul Marshall, Jonathan Sexton, Simon Zebo

In the current Acura lineup, the MDX just might be the best looking car. The strange beak in the grill doesn't look bad in this application and it is pretty decent to drive.
And if the next one looks anything like this drawing, it's only going to get better.
Set to make its debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, the next MDX looks a bit like a Chevy Equinox, except tauter, tighter, and sportier. It'll probably have a V6, AWD, and a hybrid system. Or it might be a twin-turbo V8 and front-wheel drive. I JUST DON'T KNOW.
One thing I do know is that I kind of like it for what it is.

Average Age of Insured has Increased from 37 to 48
Rockledge, FL (February 10, 2014) – Health First Insurance welcomes more than 1,400 new Individual members from Brevard and Indian River Counties in 2014. More than 900 of the new members came in through the federally-facilitated Health Insurance Marketplace via www.healthcare.gov.
"A notable shift in this new enrollment is that the average age of our individual members has increased from 37 in 2013 to 48 in 2014," said Health First Health Plans President & CEO Ed Griese. "For many over the age of 50, rates have decreased within the Affordable Care Act (ACA), making it more attractive. We expected the average age to be increase by approximately ten years and we are definitely seeing this dynamic play out in the Space Coast market."
Many experts have recently pointed out that early retirees could see the biggest changes with the implementation of the ACA. That's because in the new individual market, insurers are utilizing a community rating approach without regard to people's health status and gender when setting premium rates.
Griese said, "As an integrated delivery network, Health First is positioned to serve the local community with a unique approach. With an expanded access to gym memberships and the full network of providers included with all plans, individuals and families applying on the Marketplace have a comprehensive solution with Health First Individual."
Additional interesting facts are as follows:
72% of the new 2014 enrollment came from the Marketplace (www.healthcare.gov) 61% of those applying on the Marketplace received some level of premium subsidy 72% of the Marketplace enrollment selected a Silver plan 60% of the Marketplace enrollment was between 51-64 years of age 17% of the enrollment was under the age of 30
To learn more about Health First Individual plans on and off of the Marketplace, visit www.HealthFirstIndividual.org or call 877-904-4914.About Health First
Founded in 1995, Health First, an integrated delivery, employs more than 7,500 people and has four hospitals (including Holmes Regional Medical Center, Palm Bay Hospital, Cape Canaveral Hospital and Viera Hospital).

Cassadee Pope is a winner. Now, can she be a star?
Pope, 23, was declared the Season 3 champion of "The Voice" Wednesday night at the end of a bloated and glitzy two-hour finale. She beat out Scottish rocker Terry McDermott and old-school funk specialist Nicholas David to capture the $100,000 cash prize and a recording contract with Universal Republic.
Pope, a native of Palm Beach, Fla. was long considered the front-runner on the popular NBC reality show. She became the first woman to win.
But it remains to be seen if Pope can thrive now that the cameras have stopped rolling. Though "The Voice" is one of the highest-rated programs on TV, it hasn't been a reliable star-maker. The show's first two winners, Javier Colon and Jermaine Paul, have yet to make a dent on the charts.
Those singers are R&B/soul specialists. Pope, in contrast. is a pop singer who has been compared to Avril Lavigne. Under the guidance of "Voice" mentor Blake Shelton, she also displayed a knack for country tunes. Her version of Faith Hill's "Cry" is currently No. 1 on the iTunes chart.
Pope broke away from the band, Hey Monday, to go solo for "The Voice."
"I was nervous to step out on my own and this experience made me feel like I could do it," she said. "All four of you (coaches) have made me feel like I could do it. Thank you."
Tuesday was also a big night for Shelton, who was the winning coach for a second straight season. In addition, he was the mentor for McDermott, who finished second.
The coaching panel will look dramatically different when "The Voice" returns for Season 4 in March. Both Cee Lo Green, who mentored David, and Christina Aguilera are taking a temporary leave to tend to other projects. Shakira and Usher will take over their spinning chairs alongside returnees Shelton and Adam Levine.
Cee Lo and Aguilera dressed up for the finale, he in football shoulder pads (completed with spikes and chains) and she in a relatively demure (for her) black
dress with feathered shoulders and sparkly jewelry.
Midway through the evening, "The Voice" paid tribute to Aguilera, who was celebrating her 32nd birthday, with a lighthearted montage featuring messages from her fellow coaches. Green also provided a big highlight when he came out on the stage in a Santa sleigh to present all three finalists with new cars.
The show was jam-packed with musical performances from the finalists, returning contestants and big-name artists, including Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, the Killers, Smokey Robinson and Peter Frampton.
The live performances wrapped up with all four coaches combining to sing Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)."

Cloud Dragon Journal
Cloud Dragon Journal
Cloud Dragon
In Chinese mythology cloud dragons are the most potent form of 'good luck' symbolism. Dragons themselves are symbolic of direction and new beginnings. In an agricultural based culture such as China, dragons were the guardian rain-makers and were revered for their power to induce rain to irrigate crops and avert famine, hence the many festivals and ceremonies celebrating dragons as well as their prominence in art and aesthetics.
Clouds in China are referred to as a symbol of celestial mobility (or magic carpets) and Gods and Goddesses such as Kuan Yin, the goddess of compassion, are depicted riding on clouds. Clouds themselves are representative of good luck and bringers of good news. Combined with dragons this symbology embodies the ultimate good fortune

Chemical weapons experts weigh in on Syria intelligence report
International chemical weapons experts generally agree that the evidence presented Friday in an unclassified U.S. report about the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria seems stronger than the faulty intelligence employed to justify the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
But doubts remain.
"There are lots of things that aren't spelled out," said Richard Guthrie, formerly project leader of the Chemical and Biological Warfare Project of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
For example, the report refers to intercepted communications among Syrian regime officials, Guthrie said, but it provides no transcripts.
"That's the difficulty," he said. "There's still this problem of, 'Trust us, we have more intelligence.'"
The Obama administration released the unclassified intelligence report in an effort to make its case for military intervention in Syria. The report said the government has "high confidence" that the Syrian regime carried out a poison gas attack in the Damascus suburbs on Aug. 21.
"High confidence" is the strongest position the U.S. intelligence community can take short of confirmation.
The four-page document relies on a wide variety of sources, from human intelligence and satellite images to social media and videos. It says satellites detected rocket launches from regime-controlled territory to neighborhoods where the chemical attacks reportedly occurred, and a "Syrian regime element" in the area prepared for the launch by utilizing gas masks.
The report also references intercepted communications involving a senior regime leader "who confirmed that chemical weapons were used by the regime on Aug. 21 and was concerned with the U.N. inspectors obtaining evidence."
Gregory D. Koblentz, an expert in weapons of mass destruction at the Council on Foreign Relations, said similar declassified documents were released by the United States in 1998 before the bombing of Iraq – an attack by the U.S. and Great Britain over Iraq's failure to comply with United Nations weapons inspections – and in 2003 prior to the invasion of Iraq.
The intelligence in this situation looks different than 2003 because the U.S. knows that weapons were used and the information is coming from multiple sources, Koblentz said.
"The evidence looks to be pretty ironclad," he said.
But Koblentz cautioned that it's difficult to evaluate the strength of the evidence that would determine Assad's direct responsibility for the attacks.
"Establishing a chain of command; that's the more difficult thing," he said.
Greg Thielmann, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Arms Control Association, was a vocal critic of the faulty intelligence used to justify the Iraq war. This time, however, he said he was convinced by the evidence as presented in Friday's report.
"I'm actually quite impressed at the transparency of the case as it's laid out," Thielmann said. "So while one sees a lot of similarities with the Iraq WMD (weapons of mass destruction) fiasco, I feel much differently about the conclusions in this case than I did at the time when I was dissenting (about Iraq)."
"All kinds of warning lights went off before and they're not going off now," Thielmann said.
Thielmann said the intercepts of Syrian military commanders' conversations and information about the timing and location of rocket launches on the day of the attacks were "very damning."
"The intelligence community has undertaken some important reforms" since 2003, he said. "And the Obama administration is so obviously reluctant to engage militarily in the Middle East that that makes the end assessment much more creditable."
But another leading chemical weapons expert pointed out that many elements in the report are short on confirmation.
Jean Pascal Zanders, a leading expert on chemical weapons who until recently was a senior research fellow at the European Union's Institute for Security Studies, said in an email from France that he was surprised by the report's death toll figure of 1,429, a number much higher than the several hundred estimated by humanitarian organizations, such as Doctors Without Borders.
"Not that it is impossible, but because it coincides with the higher range cited by insurgent sources," Zanders said.
Zanders said he also was surprised about the revelation that the U.S. had collected intelligence from multiple sources in the three days prior to the attack that showed Syrian weapons personnel were preparing chemical munitions.
"Was this something the U.S. had in real time or did it get it (and) appreciate its significance after the attacks?" he said. "If not, then my question is why the Obama administration did not issue a public warning to deter the attack?"
At least one former chemical weapons inspector who was involved in gathering intelligence in Iraq 10 years ago saw more similarities to 2003 than differences.
The inspector, who requested anonymity to speak freely, said that reading the unclassified U.S. intelligence report on Friday gave him a sense of deja vu. He said the lack of information about a specific chemical agent could indicate that the administration lacks forensic evidence.
"A lot of this seems circumstantial," he said. "This document is written by the choir for the choir to preach to the choir."

(AP) — An Illinois House committee has voted down legislation requiring that some corporations make their income-tax bills public.
The revenue and finance committee rejected the proposal Sunday, keeping it in committee. Several Republicans called it anti-business and anti-employment.
The Senate approved the bill in November.
Senate President John Cullerton and House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie have said most Illinois corporations don't pay any income tax but state officials don't know who they are. The Chicago Democrats have said the proposal would help lawmakers decide future tax policy and whether corporate tax breaks are effective.
Publicly traded corporations would have to post online the amount of corporate income taxes they paid two years prior to publication.
Business groups say tax bills are confidential.

25 These are more proverbs of Solomon, compiled by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah:
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
3 As the heavens are high and the earth is deep,
so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
4 Remove the dross from the silver,
and a silversmith can produce a vessel;
5 remove wicked officials from the king's presence,
and his throne will be established through righteousness.
6 Do not exalt yourself in the king's presence,
and do not claim a place among his great men;
7 it is better for him to say to you, "Come up here,"
than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.
What you have seen with your eyes
8 do not bring[a] hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end
if your neighbor puts you to shame?
9 If you take your neighbor to court,
do not betray another's confidence,
10 or the one who hears it may shame you
and the charge against you will stand.
11 Like apples[b] of gold in settings of silver
is a ruling rightly given.
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold
is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.
13 Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest time
is a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him;
he refreshes the spirit of his master.
14 Like clouds and wind without rain
is one who boasts of gifts never given.
15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded,
and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
16 If you find honey, eat just enough—
too much of it, and you will vomit.
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house—
too much of you, and they will hate you.
18 Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow
is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor.
19 Like a broken tooth or a lame foot
is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
20 Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day,
or like vinegar poured on a wound,
is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.
23 Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
24 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
25 Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
are the righteous who give way to the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey,
nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.
28 Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.
26 Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,
honor is not fitting for a fool.
2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,
an undeserved curse does not come to rest.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
and a rod for the backs of fools!
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you yourself will be just like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
or he will be wise in his own eyes.
6 Sending a message by the hands of a fool
is like cutting off one's feet or drinking poison.
7 Like the useless legs of one who is lame
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
8 Like tying a stone in a sling
is the giving of honor to a fool.
9 Like a thornbush in a drunkard's hand
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
10 Like an archer who wounds at random
is one who hires a fool or any passer-by.
11 As a dog returns to its vomit,
so fools repeat their folly.
12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for them.
13 A sluggard says, "There's a lion in the road,
a fierce lion roaming the streets!"
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
so a sluggard turns on his bed.
15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
than seven people who answer discreetly.
17 Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
18 Like a maniac shooting
flaming arrows of death
19 is one who deceives their neighbor
and says, "I was only joking!"
20 Without wood a fire goes out;
without a gossip a quarrel dies down.
21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.
23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
are fervent[c] lips with an evil heart.
24 Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,
but in their hearts they harbor deceit.
25 Though their speech is charming, do not believe them,
for seven abominations fill their hearts.
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception,
but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it;
if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts,
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
9 There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the Lord's people. 2 For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year you in Achaia were ready to give; and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action. 3 But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove hollow, but that you may be ready, as I said you would be. 4 For if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident. 5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift, not as one grudgingly given.
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:
"They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever."[a]
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
