A routine but delightfully breezy over-the-top plotboiler continuing the two-fisted adventures of the Boston Globe's journalist hero, columnist Jack Flynn.
Having returned from the D.C. environs of The Incumbent (2000) to become the Boston Record's star investigative reporter, Jack Flynn discovers—within 24 hours—that his newspaper is about to be glommed by cheapskate newspaper sleazemeister Terry Campbell, that there may have been foul play involving the mysterious heart-attack death of the Record's former publisher when Campbell tried to buy the paper five years ago, and that Massachusetts Governor Lance Randolph, about whom Flynn is preparing a story accusing him of inflating his conviction record when Randolph was a mere district attorney, is going to be the next US Attorney General. A few hours later, Flynn finds himself menaced by nasty gunmen, first on his Boston turf and then in Florida, where he flies off to interview the retired homicide detective who seemingly failed to investigate fully the former publisher's death. A few hours after that, back in Boston, he finds out that his journalistic mentor, Paul Ellis, has been shot—three times—in the head during what appears to be a bungled robbery in the newspaper's parking lot. And who should be investigating Ellis's death but the womanizing police Det. Luke Travers, whose untimely fling with Flynn's girlfriend Elizabeth Riggs (now working at a rival tabloid) ruined a relationship that had Flynn hearing wedding bells. So much dizzy plotting, plus awkward flashbacks, balky scene shifts (glimpses of Governor Randolph are told in the third person, Flynn's narrative in the first), and enough red herrings to stock a Boston fish market make this less an exercise in page-turning than a mindlessly fun romp through tough-guy prose parodies.
"The air wasn't just hot," Flynn tells us of his trip to Florida. "It was like climbing inside a pig's anus and sloshing around in his lower intestine." One wonders how McGrory does his research.

My John Lewis Secret Santa Blogger Revealed
A few months ago, I was invited to take part in the John Lewis Secret Santa Challenge
There were a few a hiccups with the gift from my end which is why there's been a bit of a delay in me blogging about it – I didn't receive the original present from my santa so it had to be dispatched again. That did take the shine off the experience a little bit, but luckily the folks at John Lewis were really helpful and ensured a replacement gift was sent out to me promptly.
Despite the hiccups, when my gift did arrive it was more than worth waiting for, and I was able to find out that my Secret Santa benefactor was a lovely blogger, and fellow foodie, called Emma, who runs a blog called Adventures of a London Kiwi. If you're planning a visit to London any time soon then do take a peak at Emma's blog before you go. She provides loads of information about interesting and unusual places to eat, drink, visit and meet friends.
Emma's gift to me was a fantastic Raymond Blanc Hard Anodized Aluminium Sauté Pan – completely swanky, right up my street, and I'm looking forward to cooking many happy meals in it!
John Lewis were incredibly generous with the selection of gifts we were able to chose from and I loved being introduced to a fellow blogger who was unknown to me before. A really well-thought out campaign and a really lovely challenge to part of.
Thanks Emma and John Lewis and merry Christmas!

Sean Price "Like You" (2007)
Produced by: 10 for the Triad
Sean Price: "Big up my man Ill Will. That was my man Will's rhyme. I asked him, 'Can I use that for a chorus?' I just liked it. He was like, 'Yeah.' Will ain't even in Boot Camp, that's just one of my friends from the Langston Hughes projects. But, if we in the studio, Rock might say something and I might be like, 'Yo, say it that way.' I wouldn't necessarily give him a line. Even with 'Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka' like the, 'Why oh why, did I need cappuccino strong,' that was my line. But, he was like, 'Yo son, let me say it.' 'Aight, say it.'
"It's like a group effort man to make the best song. I would never go in an interview like, 'I wrote your shit nigga.' Nah, it ain't that serious. I give you a line, you give me a line. We've done that working with me, Slim, and Agallah. Me and Agallah do that all the time, but we don't necessarily write your whole verse. We might find two lines for you like, 'Nah, say it this way.' If it makes sense, do it but I ain't gonna take no credit for it. It's not like that.
"I'm the worse with hooks so I'll do a bunch of songs and then I'll call in my guys like, 'Yo, I need some choruses man.' And literally, I'll call Tek, Steele, Buck, Rock. [Laughs.] In the middle of the session I'll be like, 'Yo, I need a hook man.' I'm the worst when it comes to hooks, so sometimes I'll say them, sometimes they'll say them."

We're No Angells
And thank goodness for that. Imagine the loss of credibility if we were to say a stock had a 60 percent chance of rising one day and then an 80 percent chance the next. Then, imagine the loss of credibility if we were to say, "only kidding," if our stock tanked instead.
If you can imagine such tomfoolery, then at least you can empathize with Bear Stearns chief economist and former Federal Reserve governor Wayne Angell. If you'll remember, last week Angell, with the backing of fellow Stearns economist John Ryding, said there was a 60 percent chance that the Federal Reserve would cut the fed funds rates by 50-basis points this week. He then fortified his prediction on Monday by saying there was an 80 percent chance.
Of course, we still have two more days for Angell's prophesy to come true; however, today was considered by many market watchers to be Angell's window of opportunity because of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's testimony before the House Financial Services Committee. And if you missed Greenspan in action, you missed him bursting Angell's balloon. The Fed chairman said that while consumer confidence has indeed weakened and "will require close scrutiny in the period ahead," the data suggest "that consumers have retained enough confidence to make longer-term commitments." Translation: Things are bad, but they're not that bad.
Thanks to Greenspan's House testimony, Angell now believes that there is no chance of an inter-FOMC meeting interest rate cut this week (given the former Fed Governor's powers of prognostication, don't be surprised if the Fed cuts rates 50- basis points tomorrow).
Despite Angell's undressing today, the market had rallied Friday and Monday on speculation that a rate cut would be forthcoming, but then sold off yesterday on a weak consumer confidence report, which is now off 25 percent from its peak last spring. The selling continued today as interest rate hopes faded.
Not surprising, most of the selling occurred in the New Economy. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMPX) tanked another 55.99 points, or 2.54 percent, to 2,151.83 - a level not seen in 26 months. Moreover, for February, the COMPX dropped 22.4 percent, its third-worst monthly outing in its 30-year history.
With today's capitulation, the COMPX is now a full 100 points below former key support at 2,251, which was the January 3rd low. Many technicians are now eyeing 2,000 for support. Psychologically, this is an important level because many market traders instinctively look to round numbers. What's more, 2000 coincides with a base formed in December 1998.
Much has been made of the fact that the COMPX is now trading at a 58 percent discount to its March 2000 high of 5,132, but keep in mind, the selling didn't fully kick into gear until early September. Over the past six months, the COMPX has seen 48 percent of its value evaporate.
Cisco Systems (Nasdaq:CSCO), Dell Computer (Nasdaq:DELL) and Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) not withstanding, much of the COMPX's woes can be attributed to its semiconductor components. Xilinx (Nasdaq:XLNX), Applied Materials (Nasdaq:AMAT) and Rambus (Nasdaq:RBMS) are all trading at 60 percent discounts or more to their 52-week highs. Not surprisingly, most of this loss of market value coincides with the September 2000 through February 2001 COMPX sell-off.
Among the semiconductor issues, though, Intel (Nasdaq:INTC) has extracted the largest chunk of COMPX flesh. Since September 1, 2000, the chipmaking giant has shed $312 billion of market value, falling from an all-time high of $75.82 to today's close of $28.56.
Unfortunately, traders spooked by the New Economy today could find no sanctuary in the Old Economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU) finished down 141.60 points, or 1.33 percent, to 10,495.28 after trading higher 45 points in anticipation of a cut in the fed funds rate. But once it become obvious that none would be forthcoming, the INDU sold off through the remainder of the session. Of the 30 INDU stocks, only seven were able to close in the black. And of the seven, the largest dollar gain came courtesy of pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), which closed up a paltry $1.38 to $97.33.
With today's close, the INDU is once again trading below supposed support at 10,500 and at an 8 percent discount to its 52-week high of 11,425.
So, with the COMPX down 58 percent and the INDU down 8 percent, are we now officially in bear-market territory? According to the final arbiter on such matters, the S&P 500 Index (SPX), that depends (sorry, for being so wishy-washy). With today's close of 1,239.94, the SPX is trading at a 20 percent discount to its all- time and 52-week high of 1,553, which means we are in a bear market (a bear market being a 20 percent pull-back).
However, if the drop in the SPX is calculated using closing prices only, we're not in a bear market. Based on closing prices, the SPX is trading at a 19 percent discount to its 52- week closing high of 1,527.
You make the call. To me, it feels like a bear market.
One place where investors and traders did find sanctuary today was the bond market. Despite the disappointment of no fed funds cut, the 10-year Treasury note finished up 12/32 to yield 4.91 percent while the 30-year government bond moved higher 9/32 to yield 5.335 percent.
Over the past six months, 10-year note holders have seen their investment appreciate roughly 7 percent while 30-year bondholders have seen their holding's appreciate roughly 8 percent (not the most exciting returns, to be sure, but it beats a 48 percent loss any day).
On the economic docket today, fourth-quarter GDP was revised downward to an annualized 1.1 percent rate, which marks the slowest GDP growth rate since 1995. Not surprisingly, personal consumption slowed during the quarter to a 2.8 percent annualized rate, the slowest since early 1997.
Tomorrow traders will be eyeing the National Association of Purchase Managers Index (NAPM), which is a monthly composite index based on surveys of 300 purchasing managers nationwide representing 20 industries regarding manufacturing activity. An index value above 43.9 generally indicates an expansion of the overall economy. Don't look for that number on Thursday; the market is expecting a reading of 42.4 percent.
Okay, so what's a trader supposed to do? I know at least a few of you are still expecting an inter-FOMC interest rate cut. I wouldn't hold my breath. The fed funds future market is priced for a 4.93 percent rate in April, which means traders are expecting at least a 50-basis point cut for March. However, for those folks holding out hope for a cut between now and March 20th, the futures market is priced for a 30 percent chance of that event occurring. In other words, there isn't much of a chance.
Nevertheless, that doesn't mean all is lost for traders long this market. Many market pundits are calling for the COMPX to bottom between 2,000 to 1,800, or 7 to 15 percent below its current level of 2,151. Let's face it, in this market we could be there by the end of the week given recent pessimism. But I think this translates to a risk/reward scenario that favors the long trader, at least the longer-term orientated long trader.
Because of overwhelming market pessimism, I'm becoming more bullish. I think the market needs a sufficiently high wall of worry to get back on the right track, and I think we now have that wall (as faithful readers of this commentary are undoubtedly aware).
Finally, I like this market just for the fact that some semblance of normalcy has return. In 2000 traders had a penchant for treating bad news as good, and vice versa. Remember when traders would sell on a particularly strong employment report or buy despite a company reporting accelerating losses? Now, many of us have come to our senses and realize that marginally higher unemployment curbs consumer confidence, and, therefore, consumer spending, while growing losses and earnings disappointments are indeed an economic negative.
With that said, after a two-year hiatus, I think we are finally re-entering a market that favors the rational trader, so trade rationally.

Box Score (PDF)
ATHENS, Ohio -- The Ohio baseball team (5-18, 1-3 MAC) dropped its Mid-American Conference weekend series opener to Bowling Green (9-12, 4-0 MAC), 7-3, tonight at Bob Wren Stadium.
The Bobcats and the Falcons combined for 24 hits, but Ohio only plated three runs on 11 hits and three Bowling Green errors and stranded 11 runners on base. Ohio left the bases loaded in the home half of the fifth inning with Bowling Green protecting a 6-1 lead.
The Falcons tallied the contest's first two runs in the top of the third. Freshman right fielder Mike Malewitz and junior center fielder Jake Wilson recorded back-to-back one-out singles. Malewitz scored the game's first run on a base hit to right by sophomore first baseman Adam Furnas. Wilson then extended Bowling Green's advantage to 2-0 when he scored one out later on a single to left by senior shortstop Neil Lambert.
Ohio answered with a run in the bottom of the third as redshirt freshman left fielder Trevor Lukkes (Tustin, Calif.) legged out a one-out infield single to third, took second on a failed pickoff attempt by Bowling Green sophomore right-handed starting pitcher Andrew Abrahamowicz and then scored on a single back up the middle by sophomore designated hitter Aaron Levy (Cincinnati, Ohio).
Bowling Green broke the contest open with a four-run fifth, though. With two outs and the bases loaded, freshman third baseman Ryan Johnston was hit by a pitch to push across senior designated hitter Brad Croy, who had reached on a single to left earlier in the inning. With Johnston, senior catcher Joe McGuinness, who had also been hit by a pitch, and senior second baseman Riley Minorik, who had reached by a fielder's choice, all on base, sophomore left fielder Dylan Dohanos delivered a bases-clearing, three-RBI double to left center to make it a five-run lead for the Falcons.
After the Bobcats stranded three on base in the home half of the fifth, the Falcons tacked on a seventh run in the sixth as Wilson led off with a single through the left side, advanced to second on a single to left by Furnas and scored on a base hit to left by Croy.
Ohio dented Bowling Green's lead with solo home runs in the seventh and eighth, but that's as close as the Bobcats got. Levy smacked a one-out solo shot to right in the seventh for his first home run of the season, and sophomore shortstop Treyben Funderburg (Beavercreek, Ohio) sent a two-out dinger over the left field wall for his first round tripper of the year.
Four Bobcats tallied multiple hits in the loss. Levy finished 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Lukkes, junior catcher Tanner Piechnick (Canonsburg, Pa.) and redshirt freshman right fielder Cole Revels (Charlotte, N.C.) all recorded two singles.
Bowling Green was led at the plate by Furnas and Croy, who each logged three singles, while Malewitz and Wilson each posted a pair of base hits.
Abrahamowicz picked up the win on the mound for the Falcons, improving to 2-1 on the year. He struck out three while surrendering one unearned run on eight hits over six frames.
Senior right-handed starting pitcher Kenny Ogg (Indianapolis, Ind.) took the loss for Ohio, falling to 1-5 on the season. He struck out two in five innings of work. Junior lefty Nick Byrnes (Cincinnati, Ohio) tossed 1.1 spotless frames while redshirt senior right-hander Nick Kamrada (Grand Ledge, Mich.) pitched a scoreless ninth. Both Byrnes and Kamrada struck out two batters.
Ohio will take on Bowling Green again on Saturday (March 30) at The Wren. Due to impending weather, first pitch is now scheduled for 11 a.m. ET. The contest was originally scheduled to get underway at 3 p.m. ET.

Old Westbury, NY- Seeded third in the 2017 Skyline Conference Women's Basketball Tournament, Sage's women's basketball team captured the league's championship on Saturday afternoon, knocking off top seeded SUNY-Old Westbury in the finals, 72-66. With the win, Sage earned an automatic bid to the 2017 NCAA Division III Championship and will await news of their placement with the selection show on Feb. 27 at 2:30 p.m.
Sage improves to 20-8 and brings a six-game win streak into the NCAA's after exacting revenge over the Panthers, who last year beat Sage in their gym in the 2016 Skyline Championship. Old Westbury drops to 23-4 on the season.
Sage's senior guard Frankie Pearson (Hoosick Falls, NY/Hoosick Falls Central) was named the Most Outstanding Player in the Tournament after exploding for a career-high 27 points in the finals. Pearson shot 8-18 with an impressive six three-pointers in the contest. She added three steals and six rebounds after hitting a cool 60.0% from three-point range and had 14 points in the first half as Sage led 37-26. Already the all-time three-pointer leader at Sage, she has 197 three-pointers and 1,066 career points and is fourth on all-time scoring list. Pearson also has now played in 107 games at Sage, another all-time mark for a women's performer and will add to those numbers when the Gators return to the court in the NCAA tournament this coming week.
Sage jumped out to a 49- 43 lead to open the fourth quarter before the Panthers roared back into game cutting the Gators' lead to just one point 49-48 with 7:59 left to play. Tori Bellings hit a lay-up with 7:59 left to play in regulation to give OW a 50-49 lead. Davida Warren had a jumper seconds later and had the Panthers up 52-49 before rookie Gessica Patregnani (Troy, NY/Lansingburgh) hit a jumper to cut the OW lead to one point. OW struck again with a jumper by Jasmine Robinson at 6:38 and held a 54-51 lead. Pearson tied the action with a three-pointer at 6:19 before the two teams exchanged buckets. The game would be tied for the fifth time at 1:11 as sophomore guard Emily Parslow (Fonda, NY/Fonda-Fultonville) tallied hit the first of two free throws. She made the second to give Sage a 64-63 lead. Pearson added a bucket before Parslow added two more free throws helping the Sage lead grow to 4 points, 67-63 with 0:27 left to play. Sophomore guard Macie Holmes (Amsterdam, NY/Meekeel Christian Academy) was fouled and made the first of two free throws with 0:20 left to play.
With a three-pointer by Robinson at 0:12 left to play, OW cut the lead to two points, 68-66 before Pearson was fouled and made her free throws, giving Sage a 70-66 lead. Holmes returned the line with 0:06 left to play and made her two shots giving Sage the momentum to seal the 72-66 win on Saturday afternoon.
For the game, Sage got 14 points from Parslow who added a personal-best nine assists with six boards in the contest. Holmes finished with eight points, while Patregnani and sophomore Kaitlyn Bowman (Dannemora, NY/Saranac) added 10 points apiece.
Junior forward Genevieve Schoff (Little Falls, NY/Little Falls) was held to three points in the contest as she got in foul trouble. She stands sixth all-time in scoring at Sage with 1,025 points, just one shy of tying Elizabeth Pearl (1,026 points, 1987-1991).
The Gators have now won 15 or more games in each of the last four seasons, including a program best 21 wins last season. Only in her third season at Sage, head coach Allison Coleman owns an impressive 59-22 record at the helm of the Gator team.
Sage, which won the 2015-2016 Skyline Conference regular-season title and finished as the tournament runner-up, last year was picked first in the league's pre-season coaches' poll. With the 2017 championship to their credit, Sage has now won two Skyline Conference Championships and a runner-up crown having appeared in the championship game in three of the last four straight years.

New FCPA resource guide Bookmark has been added
New FCPA resource guide
Ten things for legal and compliance officers to consider
Is the new Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Resource Guide (the "Guide") from the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) really new or just a compilation of existing material? Are there areas of emphasis that merit particular attention on the part of companies? Should companies be considering making further enhancements to their FCPA compliance programs as a result of the new Guide or are existing programs likely to be sufficient?
With insights from guest commentators from Barrick Gold Corporation, Ford Motor Companyand Zimmer Holdings, Inc., as well as Deloitte FCPA Consulting specialists, this article identifies 10 key takeaways from the Guide that may help legal and compliance officers obtain executive support and drive continued, appropriate enhancements to their FCPA/anti-corruption compliance programs.
Ten things for legal and compliance officers to consider:
- The most critical way to defend against FCPA exposure is a pre-existing compliance program that is risk tailored and risk based
- In the eyes of a regulator, the tone at the middle and tone at the bottom of a company will define the effectiveness of the tone at the top
- FCPA compliance is the responsibility of a senior executive who must work to ensure adequate staffing and resources
- Third party compliance is essential, must be risk based, and must include purposeful and intelligently designed auditing and monitoring
- Controlled subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures must be taken into account in FCPA compliance
- Even non-controlled affiliates, joint ventures, distributors and dealers should be included in the risk assessment and compliance plan
- Financially immaterial transactions and payments may give rise to material liability, reputational harm, and management distraction
- The ultimate test for an FCPA compliance program is "Does it work?" and companies must be prepared to prove that it does
- Privately held companies should be on notice that they also have FCPA risk exposure
- The U.S. government will continue to apply expansive jurisdictional concepts in order to enforce the provisions of the FCPA globally

The Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NOLPB) has suspended all "petroleum-related operations" aboard Husky's SeaRose FPSO.
The suspension stems from a near miss with an iceberg late last March when the Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel was housing 84 personnel and storing upwards of 340,000 barrels of oil, more than a third of its capacity.
The berg ended up passing by with more than 180 metres between it and the SeaRose installations. There were no injuries and no damages to the facility or environment.
Related story:
Iceberg has near-miss with Sea Rose FPSO off Newfoundland
Following completion of the C-NOLPB's formal enquiry into the incident, launched in May of last year, it was determined that Husky, its onshore management, its offshore installation manager and its senior management had not followed its ice management plan (IMP) as set out in its operations authorization.
"These findings have been shared with Husky and speak to the C-NLOPB's concerns with the Operator's adherence to its emergency response plans," a press release from the C-NLOPB reads.
"The C-NLOPB lacks full confidence that appropriate action will be taken by the Operator during an emergency situation."
The C-NLOPB says operations will remain suspended until such time that it is confident that Husky has taken corrective measures to ensure the IMP is followed in the future.
A statement from Husky on the situation is expected later today.

Careers & Training
Non-surgical cosmetic procedures comprise a rapidly growing section of the cosmetic industry. In what was originally a relatively small market dominated by traditional beauty therapy businesses, it has now evolved to become much more sophisticated utilising the very latest in technologies. It is a market that is rapidly expanding and changing with new techniques and devices being continuously developed.
Increasingly, clinics have needed to become medically more professional in their approach to the delivery of the treatments being requested by their clients. In order to be able to deliver to these clients an increased level of care and provide them with the best outcomes, practitioners need to have both a deeper knowledge of the science behind the techniques and have more advanced levels of skill in the delivery of non-surgical cosmetic practices.
In a world where education providers are proliferating, it is important that prospective students do their research to ensure that the college that they are considering is legitimate.

There aren't many things better than free. Especially when it comes to free beauty products. I'm signed up with a few companies that send me products for honest reviews or just a social media pic. Since it's things I do anyway I'm more than happy to oblige. Some of the things I receive are samples and others are full size. Either way it works for me because come on, I much rather get something free and have the chance to try it out before I commit to it and pay out of my own pocket.
One of the companies is Influenster. If you've got somewhat of a presence on social media than you can definitely get what's called a "Vox box". Usually it requires you take a survey or 2 to see if you're a "good fit" which really just means "Are you gonna use what we send you?". I've gotten some really awesome Vox boxes. I've always wanted to do an unboxing video on YouTube but I don't want to bore anyone. It can be kind of a snooze fest just watching someone open stuff. So I'd have to find an interesting way to do it. Each box has a theme. This month is the Bloom box. Some things I've used before and know very well. Others I have never heard of and can't wait to try.

By Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt in 1895
No nobler figure ever stood in the forefront of a nation's life.
— John Richard Green
In any book which undertakes to tell, no matter how slightly, the story of some of the heroic deeds of American history, that noble figure must always stand in the forefront. But, to sketch the life of George Washington, even in the barest outline, is to write the history of the events which made the United States independent and gave birth to the American nation. Even to give a list of what he did, to name his battles and recount his acts as president, would be beyond the limit and the scope of this book. Yet, it is always possible to recall the man and to consider what he was and what he meant for us and for mankind He is worthy the study and the remembrance of all men, and to Americans, he is at once a great glory of their past and an inspiration and an assurance of their future.
To understand Washington at all, we must first strip off all the myths which have gathered about him. We must cast aside into the dust-heaps, all the wretched inventions of the cherry-tree variety, which were fastened upon him nearly seventy years after his birth. We must look at him as he looked at life and the facts about him, without any illusion or deception, and no man in history can better stand such a scrutiny.
Born of a distinguished family in the days when the American colonies were still ruled by an aristocracy, Washington started with all that good birth and tradition could give. Beyond this, however, he had little. His family was poor, his mother was left early a widow, and he was forced, after a very limited education, to go out into the world to fight for himself. He had strong within him the adventurous spirit of his race. He became a surveyor, and in the pursuit of this profession plunged into the wilderness, where he soon grew to be an expert hunter and backwoodsman. Even as a boy, the gravity of his character and his mental and physical vigor commended him to those about him, and responsibility and military command were put in his hands at an age when most young men are just leaving college. As the times grew threatening on the frontier, he was sent on a perilous mission to the Indians, in which, after passing through many hardships and dangers, he achieved success. When the troubles came with France it was by the soldiers under his command that the first shots were fired in the war which was to determine whether the North American continent should be French or English. In his earliest expedition he was defeated by the enemy. Later, he was with General Edward Braddock, and it was he who tried, to rally the broken English army on the stricken field near Fort Duquesne. On that day of surprise and slaughter he displayed not only cool courage but the reckless daring which was one of his chief characteristics. He so exposed himself that bullets passed through his coat and hat, and the Indians and the French who tried to bring him down thought he bore a charmed life. He afterwards served with distinction all through the French War, and when peace came he went back to the estate which he had inherited from his brother, the most admired man in Virginia.
At that time he married, and during the ensuing years he lived the life of a Virginia planter, successful in his private affairs and serving the public effectively but quietly as a member of the House of Burgesses. When the troubles with the mother country began to thicken he was slow to take extreme ground, but he never wavered in his belief that all attempts to oppress the colonies should be resisted, and when he once took up his position there was no shadow of turning. He was one of Virginia's delegates to the first Continental Congress, and, although he said but little, he was regarded by all the representatives from the other colonies as the strongest man among them. There was something about him even then which commanded the respect and the confidence of every one who came in contact with him.
It was from New England, far removed from his own State, that the demand came for his appointment as commander-in-chief of the American Army. Silently he accepted the duty, and, leaving Philadelphia, took command of the army at Cambridge.
There is no need to trace him through the events that followed. From the time when he drew his sword under the famous elm tree, he was the embodiment of the American Revolution, and without him that revolution would have failed almost at the start. How he carried it to victory through defeat and trial and every possible obstacle is known to all men.
When it was all over he found himself facing a new situation. He was the idol of the country and of his soldiers. The army was unpaid, and the veteran troops, with arms in their hands, were eager to have him take control of the disordered country as Cromwell had done in England a little more than a century before. With the army at his back, and supported by the great forces which, in every community, desire order before everything else, and are ready to assent to any arrangement which will bring peace and quiet, nothing would have been easier than for Washington to have made himself the ruler of the new nation.
But, that was not his conception of duty, and he not only refused to have anything to do with such a movement himself, but he repressed, by his dominant personal influence, all such intentions on the part of the army. On December 23, 1783, he met the Congress at Annapolis, and there resigned his commission. What he then said is one of the two most memorable speeches ever made in the United States, and is also memorable for its meaning and spirit among all speeches ever made by men. He spoke as follows:
"Mr. President: –The great events on which my resignation depended having at length taken place, I have now the honor of offering my sincere congratulations to Congress, and of presenting myself before them, to surrender into their hands the trust committed to me and to claim the indulgence of retiring from the service of my country.
Happy in the confirmation of our independence and sovereignty and pleased with the opportunity afforded the United States of becoming a respectable nation, I resign with satisfaction the appointment I accepted with diffidence; a diffidence in my abilities to accomplish so arduous a task, which, however, was superseded by a confidence in the rectitude of our cause, the support of the supreme power of the Union, and the patronage of Heaven.
The successful termination of the war has verified the most sanguine expectations, and my gratitude for the interposition of Providence and the assistance I have received from my countrymen increases with every review of the momentous contest.
While I repeat my obligations to the Army in general, I should do injustice to my own feelings not to acknowledge, in this place, the peculiar services and distinguished merits of the Gentlemen who have been attached to my person during the war.
It was impossible that the choice of confidential officers to compose my family should have been more fortunate. Permit me, sir, to recommend in particular those who have continued in service to the present moment as worthy of the favorable notice and patronage of Congress.
I consider it an indispensable duty to close this last solemn act of my official life by commending the interests of our dearest country to the protection of Almighty God, and those who have the superintendence of them to His holy keeping.

Nike pushed boundaries with the introduction of FlyKnit technology last year. The process of creating a full knitted upper from a spool helped create arguably the most popular overall shoe of 2012 and spawning a new format for creating sneakers. The FlyKnit Lunar1 + takes on the task of providing the everyday runner the comfort and feel of the FlyKnight Racer which was tailored more to the running style of marathoners. Aside from the technical benefits the shoe provides, it is also a stunning set of footwear to look at, with lots of potential to be and every day pair for the casual consumer. Added comfort, a broad selection of colorways, and many extra options like + technology will make these a popular hit whether you need a running shoe or a casual performer come this February.

Even among the staunchest critics of Dallas ISD superintendent Mike Miles, trustee Joyce Foreman stands out in her relentless pursuit of his head. And lately, her anti-Miles advocacy has targeted the basic needs of schools and schoolchildren: She's voted against things as mundane and necessary approving monthly financial statements and buying new lawnmower blades. She's voted against accepting grant funds and an early childhood home visitation program done in cooperation with the United Way.
Over the weekend, Foreman proved how committed she is to ousting Miles and abandoning all reason and decorum in the process: She spent five hours arguing with anonymous Dallas gadfly Wylie H.
Wylie H is the anonymous internet persona who pops up to offer insider information with some regularity in the comment sections of various Dallas news websites. He or she runs an active Facebook feed, posting almost anything that gets written citywide about development, DISD or city hall politics.
Sunday morning, Wylie H linked to an article from D Magazine's Eric Celeste, who torched Foreman and other critics of Miles on the board for their attempts to get rid of the reform-minded superintendent. He called out Foreman specifically for voting against the consent agenda at a school board meeting last week.
After, presumably, reading Celeste's post, Wylie H -- who is a fictional character no matter how much we all believe in him or her -- decided to poke the bear. Foreman then decided to get into a social media bust-up with someone without a face. She later deleted her comments. Thank God for screengrabs.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Here Foreman is jumping in:
She explains that she voted against accepting funding for the United Way early childhood program because the organization would be "tracking our babies." She voted against the financial statements, she said, because the district is over budget. She didn't think they were incorrect, necessarily, she's just unhappy with the way things are being handled.
Eventually, she gets around to telling everyone the real reason Celeste has a problem with her. He hates women.
This is where we are, Dallas. Elected officials fighting with cartoon characters, and losing.

A Political Party which is the Achievement Party®
and the home of American Evolutionary Economics
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Domestic and Foreign Policy results show that, at the national level, the Republican and Democratic Parties are obsolete. They are like slide rules in a digital age, and both are severely damaged brands. This should surprise no one, because in the business world corporate obsolescence is a normal occurrence. More than 50% of U.S. citizens believe that neither party represents them.
In the 21st C. and beyond, a new, modern and more capable Party is required to resolve issues and move ahead. U.S. citizens must have a greater voice and role in controlling the U.S. Government.
A Change in Direction: The U.S. must re-assert itself as an Achievement Society, not continue along the path to a Socialist Welfare State. An Achievement Society is one in which emphasis is placed on personal achievements (education, fitness etc.) and national achievements (increasing household income, decreasing unemployment, crime and income inequality, etc.). We also own the trademark for "The Achievement Party®, and you will see that phrase in our media communications as well.
Foreign intelligence gathering is at an all-time high, and this is a public website. Therefore the specific policies, solutions and approaches we may take to resolve the Issues discussed here are not included.

An Extraordinary Level of Calm and Tension
Characters don't come more boldly inspirational than Juror 8 played by the perpetually clever Stuart Hughes. It's the kind of figure we all dream of becoming—the quintessential questioner—if ever confronted by an against-all-odds situation with a human life at stake.
For this simple reason 12 Angry Men is a deeply reflective, quietly powerful work that is as timely as it is moving. Biases and prejudices collide as stereotypes and closed minds are torn apart. Playwright Reginald Rose's logic hungering narrative is a thinking man's crime play which serves as a vivid reminder that the search for truth is a civil responsibility.
The production opens with a dozen jurors retreating to a back room to decide the fate of a teenager accused of murder. With a portrait of guilt brazenly painted with fine strokes by the prosecution, a seemingly simple verdict becomes anything but simple to reach. Factions evolve and bullying erupts in a riveting, visually arresting snapshot of a battle of wills.
What a feat for Stuart Hughes to find a distinct, authentic voice for a role embodied by Henry Fonda in the 1957 movie offering. The actor is too smart to borrow a minute gesture in his depiction of a fact finder who refuses to let probability of guilt outweigh reasonable doubt. It's an earnest performance that makes you believe hard principals have by no means gone the way of the dinosaur.
A hateful diatribe is unleashed in what's likely the show's most abhorrent scene as Juror 10 (William Webster) disintegrates amidst indecision. It's brash, ugly, and downright unforgivable as remaining jurors isolate themselves to other parts of the room.
And then, finally, a conscientiously defeated Joseph Ziegler as Juror 3 concedes 'not guilty' bringing the 90-minute emotional impasse to an end.
A highly sensitive direction strategy by Alan Dilworth attains an extraordinary level of calm and tension throughout the play. With magnificent precision he finds narrow cracks for light laughter but only when absolutely needed.
It's unanimous: 12 Angry Men is a smart and suspenseful legal thriller that comes completely alive on stage.
Review by Steven Berketo

Last weekend I gave up my usual habit of sleeping in for waking up early to run my first road race as a Texas state resident. I choose to bypass the larger, more popular runs, in favor of a smaller, more challenging course that would prove useful for my upcoming Boston marathon – Moe's Better Half. I was excited and nervous. Not only would this be my first race as a Texan but also the first real race since I ran the New York City marathon in November and had a very poor performance at the Race with Grace 10k on Thanksgiving.
The day started out chilly and dark – awaking around 5am for the 7am start. I rolled out of bed, had my typical pre-race breakfast of whole wheat frozen waffles topped with peanut butter and a sliced banana (keeps you full and fueled through long runs and it's delicious) a big cup of black coffee and I was on my way.
At around 40 degrees when I walked out the door, it felt more like upstate NY weather than Texas, but the sun soon rose and it was a perfect morning for a half marathon. The group of runners headed towards the starting line. One of my favorite moments of any race is the start. All the nerves and excitement for the challenge we're all about to face. With only about 350 registered runners, this race was probably one of the smallest I've ever run. I couldn't wait to see what the course would hold.
I was warned from the beginning—it would be a tough course through the hills of San Marcos along country roads. The warnings were true, but I felt strong the entire time. With very few fans along the way, I really embraced the course enjoying the scenery and letting my mind wander from time to time. Often people wonder what I think about when I run – especially during long runs. I've heard from many that they get bored running. I use my time running to focus on what is stressing me out and think about the things I need to accomplish that week. During races, I'm often focused on the race and how I feel – but this race I felt strong and so, I found myself thinking about what motivates me to run.
Many of my friends and family know that I started running in middle school and became more competitive about it in college. I started running to help in my recovery after a ski accident and so that I would be better at my primary sport of choice, field hockey. But I also ran to prove to myself and others that I was and still am an athlete.
One thing most people don't know about me is that in 4th grade my gym teacher at the time decided that I was an appropriate candidate for "special gym," essentially a gym class for kids that were considered overweight or obese. At the time I had no idea what it meant but soon it became apparent to me; I was not physically fit. At such an early age I became aware of my body image and how I was bigger than most of my peers. Needless to say, it did not make for a fun middle school experience.
By the time I entered 9th grade I was considered obese and was constantly being told by my pediatrician to cut out the candy and move more. It wasn't until I had a skiing accident and the doctor told me I had to start working out more or my knee might never recover, that I seemed to finally get the message.
My dad, an avid runner, encouraged me in my efforts and by the time I graduated high school I was able to keep up with many of my teammates and was considered a normal, healthy weight. What really made me feel better though was the same gym teacher that put me in "special gym" was now teaching gym in high school. We were required to do a physical fitness test every year which included a 12 minute run. Not only did I run laps around my peers, I ran them in front of the gym teacher who made me feel inferior as a kid. I could not be happier.
So back to Moe's—I've been sticking pretty close to my training schedule and it seemed to pay off. I ended up running one of my best races, with a time just under 1 hour and 40 minutes and placed second female in my age group. The race and day could not have been better.
I celebrated with a day of primping and pampering followed by an indulgent dinner of microbrews and bbq at Uncle Billy's Brew and Cue. It may not be the best bbq in Texas, but they do have a to-die-for brisket, called "wet brisket." The particular cut of meat has more fat than your typical brisket and paired with their slightly spicy bbq sauce, it's the perfect match to their hoppy microbrews. Feeling satisfied and full, this was one of the best days I've had in Texas, and in general, in a long time.

An enduring part of the Yosemite camping experience is sitting around a campfire at night sharing stories, making new friends or learning something through one of the many educational programs offered by rangers and others in the park. Yosemite's campground amphitheaters are places for campers and visitors to gather and hear a ranger talk or simply enjoy an afternoon picnic. But heavy wear and tear over time had left many amphitheaters badly in need of upgrades.
In popular Yosemite Valley, amphitheaters are important educational and recreational hubs. At Lower Pines and Lower River Amphitheaters, worn benches and broken lighting made these spaces unsafe and uncomfortable for visitors. Major renovations included repairing splintering benches and fixing broken walkway lights. These amphitheaters now comfortably host visitors and campers for ranger educational talks, as well as group picnic gatherings.
The amphitheaters at Bridalveil Creek, Wawona and Crane Flat Campgrounds were also badly deteriorated, unsafe and uncomfortable for visitors. Yosemite Conservancy funded rehabilitation of these amphitheaters — visitors now enjoy new comfortable seats built from sustainable building products and upgraded stone fire rings.
With your support, these areas once again serve as a welcoming gathering place for campers to learn something new from a ranger or start their own fireside camping tradition with family and friends.

We report here the identification and characterization of a novel human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DPB1 allele that was subsequently named HLA-DPB1*0302 by the WHO Nomenclature Committee. HLA-DPB1*0302 was identified in a single Sicilian individual by a combination of sequence-specific primers, reverse line sequence-specific oligonucleotide probing and DNA sequencing-based typing. The DPB1*0302 allele is most similar to the DPB1*3101 allele, differing by a single mismatch at nucleotide position 301 (T to G).

John Would Not Be John With Out You Guys…. Thank You.. So Muchhhh….
4th Aug 2017 , Wannathankyou
John who is a party freak studying in college living in an apartment with friends who is jovial and would like to freak out during weekends with his friends, make noise in public, he is the spoilt brat.
John was having a wonderful life along with his friends studying, boozing, doing what any average college party freak would do. Surprisingly clearing first three years of graduation and moving to final year.
As usual one weekend after college hours with little money with John and his friends hits the best street in the city for pubs. Spent till 12 midnight sipping beers. John and his friends came out of the pub fully blown out.
Heading towards their home in their two wheelers, singing thru the streets making noise , drag racing "WOW" what a life!.
All of a sudden "BANG"!!!!! John's friend loses control hits the wall and crashes. Few of his friends following them saw the bike flashing lights, rushes to the spot to see John and his friend with John lying in pool of blood.
They were shocked , in that midnight no one around they were helpless, Johnwas unconscious with head injury bleeding.
One of his friend leaving one in the spot ran 2 kms to their house from spot, called few in their house who are also drunk rushing back to spot.
No money in pockets somehow they rush both to nearby hospital.
The doctors over there saw John's condition and declared that he is no gonna live and asked to take away the body.
With tears in the eyes , no money , and not losing hopes, Desire to save their best friends life request the hospital people to help them to shift John to best hospital and they did it. They called all their friends to help them for money.
Doctors did their best and in the next day morning John wakes up with pain and asks nurse where is he and what had happened. She says that his friends saved his life. With Parents , relatives , the whole college friends visiting hospital so much emotions, he realized what a mistake. His friends not being happy are relived that they saved John
That was 15 years back, Today John is a happily married man with a kid and a good job, still jovial , new friends , everyone loves his humouros nature sad part is not so close with those saved his life.
All these days John never had an opportunity to thank his friends though they do not expect and are living in their own life. There could be many reasons not to thank. Like no time!!!!!! But deep in his heart he wanted to thank and let them know that how good they are in saving a life facing so many hurdles.
John thought of calling each one of them and thank, however never did that thinking that the obvious reply would be "Are u drunk????"
John desperately wants to thank before he loses anyone as nobody can stop time still wondering how could he connect all.
Then fortunately John heard about WTY, not wasting his time signs up , logs in, connects all his friends. and send the message
" My dear friends I wanna thank you for saving my life, you gave me my rebirth, whatever I am today it is because of you, you will be surprised to see this message but just wanna let you know how good you are. Once again " I WANNA THANK YOU".
Though this message would have taken them back 12 years and brought a smile the reply was" Are u drunk?????!!!!!!"
That's friendship

Healing Pyramid Energy
We are creating a collective consciousness when we all join together in this global meditation for the positive changes we want in our world. So, in that regard, I would like to paraphrase some content in David Windsock's book, The Ascension Mysteries, I talked about in the previous post. He asks why the Cabal want to destroy so many people's lives and keep us all in terror and depression? The answer is that this generates "loosh" (which they live off of) for the Draco- according to his insider info. And in a quote, "Another bizarre piece of Intel that has come to light from Corey Goode and others is that the Draco have been aggressively using mind control technology against us ever since our origin on Earth. Corey specifically said this technology is stopping us for being able to form a telepathic, collective consciousness" So, let's add the desire to no longer be controlled by the Draco and that our coming together will overcome their technology.

I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my spirit within you, and make you follow my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances. Then you shall live in the land that I gave to your ancestors; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Ezekiel 36:25-28 (NRSV)
Published: 1/2/2017 12:00 AM
Elizabeth does not take no for an answer. She's determined, driven, and does not give up. If you need someone in your corner, I'd suggest Elizabeth. She goes to bat for the things and people she believes in, and she's notorious for getting things done. She's loud but listens well. She's sarcastic but supportive, confident but willing to learn. Elizabeth is a pastor, preacher, teacher and in her spare time a wife and mother to three kids. She loves to share a good meal, but be forewarned, she'll definitely be late.
He brings his own french press coffee with him wherever he goes, but happily shares it with anyone who needs a pick me up. His dreads have a power all their own. He'll call you on your BS, but in a way that makes you grateful for his wisdom. He's the guy you want to hang out with over any kind of beverage. His favorite non-holiday is Pentecost, and the Holy Spirit is his jam. He's a pastor, a wise-man, a husband, a father of two girls, a caffeine addict, a native Missourian, and an advocate for justice. He hates wearing shoes.

"Cassandra Caravello is one of Renaissance Venice's lucky elite: with elegant gowns, sparkling jewels, her own lady's maid, and a wealthy fiancé, she has everything a girl could desire. Yet ever since her parents' death, Cassandra has felt trapped, alone in a city of water, where the dark and labyrinthine canals whisper of escape.
When Cass stumbles upon a murdered woman—practically in her own backyard—she's drawn into a dangerous world of courtesans, killers, and secret societies. Soon, she finds herself falling for Falco, a mysterious artist with a mischievous grin... and a spectacular skill for trouble. Can Cassandra find the murderer, before he finds her? And will she stay true to her fiancé, or succumb to her uncontrollable feelings for Falco?
Beauty, love, romance, and mystery weave together in a stunning novel that's as seductive and surprising as the city of Venice itself."
My Thoughts:So this is not the type of book I would normally pick up but can we just look at that cover, it just screams "read me!" I just want to take that cover and pet it and love it but anyway moving on. I am so incredibly glad that I read this book, because it is fabulous. I devoured this book! All I can say now is that I am dying for more of this story!
Cassandra, or Cass, is the kind of character that I can easily admire. She feels trapped and suffocated by the world she lives in, but all she really wants is to be in control of her own life. She is strong and stubborn, but still a bit restrained by the rules of society. Cass wants to break out of her shell but its not so easy in Renaissance Venice. She reminded me a lot of Eleanor from Something Strange and Deadly, and we all know how much I loved that book.
Falco is a character that girls will easily fall in love with. I know I fell for his wit and charm very quickly. He doesn't always say the proper thing, but I think I love him all the more because of that. It really is a very endearing trait. Falco makes Cass see a different side of life and a different side of herself. With him she can be herself because he has no care for the rules. This is a couple where they bring out the best in each other.
As for the plot, it was quite addictive in a slow buildup kind of way. It moves at a slower pace, but it doesn't drag; it just builds up the anticipation. While I was able to figure out some of the plot as far as the romance goes, when it came to the mystery aspect I was truly stumped until right before the villain is finally revealed. I kept trying to piece it all together but I just couldn't make it fit together in my head. This is one of the reasons I kept turning pages until very late in the night. The lack of sleep that resulted was totally worth it.
While I devoured and loved this book, some things irked me. For one thing, that ending! I was left with a good amount of questions especially concerning one huge plot point. Not too thrilled about that. Hopefully that will be answered in subsequent books. Also, I wasn't a big fan of the love triangle that snuck its way in at the end when her fiancé comes back into the picture. Cass's relationship with Falco was fiery and passionate and I could clearly see the connection. With her fiancé Luca, it feels forced and I guess that is how I am supposed to feel. I just couldn't completely buy into her new feelings for Luca. Then again, we all know that once I pick a guy I don't sway from that choice. I just think Falco brought out the best in her.
All in all, Venom is an addictive and thrilling read. Like I said, I lost sleep because of this book, but I cannot bring myself to regret it. In this case, what is inside the book lives up to the gorgeous cover.
