In the mornings before the kids leave for school, I go running. It's my time to be quiet and listen to God's voice. It's my time to have stillness. Sometimes it's my time to escape the hectic pace of our home. This morning the sun seemed to follow me as I ran. It was early so the sun was low in the sky, its heat and light obscured by the tall houses lining the street. I shivered, trying to pick up my pace. Eventually, I ran through an entrance to an alleyway where the sun found me, warming the side of my face. In that instant, it elongated my shadow making it reach from my side of the street to the opposite sidewalk. My shadow giant, I called it.
As I looked at my shadow giant, I realized something about our walk with the Lord. He is the sun. He makes our lives fuller, longer, more radiant. I'm just a little lump. He takes the light of his love and enlarges my lump into something magnificent. The lump is nothing—it’s His light that makes it beautiful, significant. His light shines in our darkness, according to Paul. “For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6).
After his declaration of God's light, Paul likens us to a lump of clay that becomes a jar. He is quick to point out that the pot is nothing—it’s what the pot contains that is important. "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us" (v. 7). With the sun elongating my shadow, I realize the beauty and necessity for the sun. It is the reason for my shadow in the first place; therefore, it is preeminent. Just like an ordinary clay pot is nothing of import without its internal treasure, my life is dark without light. The treasure is Jesus. Without Him, I have no treasure. Without light, I have no shadow.
Paul doesn't end his analogy there, though. We have more than the light of Christ. We possess an amazing treasure in Jesus, but He also gives us the ability to endure when life is hard. "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed" (vv. 8-9). God gives us the ability to stand against the craziness of this world so that we are not crushed, despairing, abandoned or destroyed. He elongates our hearts, stretching us with his power so we'll be able to persevere.
Just as the sun followed me when I ran, the Son follows us as we run through life, helping us, keeping us company, giving us renewed vitality. How much Jesus offers us! And yet, we forget the benefits of walking (or as in my case this morning, running) by His light. Why? Because we prefer shade to sun. We'd rather hide. “If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his son, purifies us from all sin” (1 John 1:6–7). If we fail to walk in his light, we have no elongated shadow and we run cold and alone.
Next time you play hopscotch with your children and the sun angles your shadows across the pavement, tell them the story of Jesus. Tell them how He makes us so much more than we can imagine if we walk in His light. Tell them how His light is a treasure, that we're just pots holding His treasure.
Share a story about how Jesus brought you through a trial. Share the benefits of light walking and caution them about a life without shadows. And next time you're alone, walking to the rhythm of your own footfalls, bask in His light. Let the Son shine upon you, elongating you, stretching you. Thank Him for his light. Bless Him for His strength. Welcome his light.
Make sun shadows in my life today, Lord. Elongate me. You are my treasure. You are my strength when trials knock on my door. I don't want to run in the shadows, Lord. Shine your white-hot light on my life right now so I can confess my dark sins to you.

Port Authority Sets $1 Billion Muni Deal Amid Bridge ScandalBrian Chappatta
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the agency at the center of a scandal involving Governor Chris Christie’s staff, plans to sell $1 billion of taxable municipal bonds next week.
The debt matures in August 2046 and proceeds will finance redevelopment of the World Trade Center site, offering documents show. The agency, which also manages the New York City region’s three major airports and six marine-cargo terminals, borrowed a record $2 billion in 2012 for the World Trade Center.
Aides to the Republican governor ordered September lane closings on the George Washington Bridge, which the agency runs. The move backed up roads in Fort Lee, the New Jersey town of 37,500 abutting the bridge to Manhattan, for days. The community’s Democratic mayor didn’t endorse Christie in his November re-election bid. The governor has said he had no knowledge of the act, which threatens his national political ambitions.
“The bond sale is still scheduled to go off as planned next week,” said Steve Coleman, a Port Authority spokesman.
Democrats who control the New Jersey legislature are investigating the traffic jam. The probe reached the top of the Port Authority as lawmakers subpoenaed Executive Director Patrick Foye along with members of Christie’s inner circle.
Christie’s deputy chief of staff for legislative and intergovernmental affairs sent a message saying it was “time for some traffic problems” to David Wildstein, a Christie appointee at the Port Authority, on Aug. 13. Wildstein has since resigned.
The controversy isn’t mentioned in the agency’s bond-offering documents.
The Port Authority’s bonds haven’t been punished in the $3.7 trillion municipal market. Instead they have rallied along with benchmark debt.
Agency bonds maturing in April 2037 traded today at an average yield of 4.62 percent, the lowest since Nov. 12, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The interest rate is about 0.86 percentage point more than benchmark munis due in 23 years.

Bangalore, Aug 10, 2013, DHNS: A career criminal was hacked to death in broad daylight allegedly by members of his own gang on Mysore Road Saturday afternoon. The deceased has been identified as Girish alias Circle Girish (37).
According to police, Girish dropped his son at a sports complex and was proceeding to a private club when his car was intercepted by a multiutility vehicle and two motorcycles. The assailants, identified as Thangalu Chandrashekar, Srikanth and Ganga, rear-ended Girish’s car till it came to a halt.
“Even as Girish got off his car and took to his heels, the assailants struck him with lethal weapons and attacked his driver Kuppu also,” Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Kamal Pant, said.
Both Girish and Kuppu were rushed to Rajarajeswhari Medical College Hospital. However, Girish was declared dead on arrival, Pant said.
According to police, Girish and Chandrashekar were partners in crime. Several cases of attempt to murder, abduction, dacoity cases were registered against them. Girish was a habitual offender at the KG Nagar police station and was jailed for his criminal activities.
After his release from prison in 2011, he started a money lending business with Chandrashekar.
The two parted ways over some differences, recently. Girish had allegedly attacked Chandrashekar on an earlier occasion. Police suspect the latter retaliated by killing Girish.
Chandrashekar and Ganga were arrested from their residences, while Srikanth surrendered at Chamarajpet police station. Police are on the look out for five other suspects. Kengeri police have registered a case.
Youth stabbed to death
A 23-year-old man was killed by his friend over a prize money dispute during a cricket match near the ESI quarters at Indiranagar on Saturday.
The victim, Appu, a resident of Appareddy Palya, Indiranagar, was stabbed in the abdomen with the sharp end of a wicket by his teammate Abhishek following an argument over the prize money, Indiranagar police said.
Appu was rushed to St John’s Hospital where he was declared brought. Abhishek is absconding.
Man hangs self
An employee of a garments factory hanged himself to death over a petty family dispute.
The deceased Manjunath, 35, was staying with his wife Shruti and one-and-a-half-year-old daughter in a rented house in Virat Nagar.
Police said the couple had an argument over a petty issue on Friday night and the wife left the house in a huff with her daughter.
When she returned home, she found Manjunath hanging from the ceiling in the house. Madiwala police have registered a case.

Dieting, cutting calories, “good” vs “bad” foods” etc, is NOT an effective way to improve your health.
No one wants to feel “restricted” which is why it’s NORMAL to binge on fast food or cookies after you’ve been following a strict diet.
And research actually shows that those who diet frequently, actually end up gaining the most weight.
So what’s a busy mom to do?
You want to FEEL healthy right? As in not feel like you’re going from starving to stuffed after every meal, or surviving on sugar and caffeine.
Do you want to feel confident in your nutrition choices that you’re modeling for your kids??
Do you want to have energy (not just sugar or caffeine spikes followed by crashes)?
Join me for the FOOD FREEDOM FORMULA.
A FREE 4-day nutrition experience for the mom who is DONE dieting and wants to learn how to:
model healthy eating for her kids
END the starving —> stuffed cycle
Say BYEE to the caffeine + sugar obsession/cravings
all WITHOUT restriction — because we already said restriction DOESN’T work anyway, right? ;)
Did I mention FREE, what do you have to lose?!
Do you like the idea of meal planning…. but find yourself rushing to prep dinner at the last second every night? I work with a lot of busy families who are the same way, and I love helping them simplify meal planning.
Why is meal planning so important?
Because when your stomach is in charge (aka you wait to cook til you’re hungry), it’s hard to make a healthy decision- that’s when you find yourseld having cookies for lunch and the drive through for snack.
Planning ahead can give you peace of mind and make the healthy choice the easy choice. (because when dinner is planned, it’s way easier/cheaper to stay home than go out.)
Dinner is often the most overwhelming meal for my clients. Here are a few strategies for making dinner planning EASY.
only plan 4 dinners. 7 is overwhelming and most people (including myself) end up going out on the weekend, having leftovers at some point, etc. Just start by planning 4!
Use the MIX + MATCH method to make life easier. Pick a protein a slow carb (aka slow-digesting carb) + a veggie. Easy peasy. Ask your family members their favorite foods in each area to make your job easier.
Then add flavor. Meal planning doesn’t have to involve complicated recipes. Stick with the basics!
I know first hand how challenging it can be to deal with family meal time stress. I have a toddler myself, and over the last year I’ve also worked with nearly 200 families on nutrition, and many of them had similar concerns.
I constantly hear moms say:
“I feel like a short order cook”
“Every meal time is a battle”
“I just want my kid to EAT!”
Sound familiar?? Below I’m sharing a few great tips to help create peace at family meal time. Remember, this is a process and won’t happen overnight, BUT with these tips you can find peace of mind and hopefully have less stress at your next meal!
(a side note: I’m aware sensory issues can cause more of a struggle, and longterm stress. However, these strategies CAN be helpful, however, obviously more intensive therapies will be necessary).
Forcing. Force feeding, forcing to clear the plate, forcing to eat a bite, etc. It creates stress for the kids and parents and is not helpful in the short or long run.
What to do instead?
Practice the division of responsibility. That means YOU (as the parent) get to control the food, the environment, sitting at the table, etc. The kids get to decide WHAT they are going to eat and HOW MUCH. That simple. If they don’t want anything? Okay, but next meal is in a few hours (or tomorrow).
Bribing. Don’t use food as a bribe to eat the meal OR for things like getting good grades. Why? It creates an unhealthy relationship with food, and kids are less likely to choose foods they have to be bribed to eat (i.e. veggies).
What to do instead?
Create a schedule around desserts. Maybe have them Monday and Friday, and leave it at that. And instead of using food to bribe for good behavior, reward with experiences like going to the movies, the pool, the park, the beach, the zoo, disneyland…
The dinnertime stalemate. Not letting your kids leave the table until they eat is torture for you both, and makes meals VERY stressful.
What to do instead?
Set a timer for 20 minutes and then dinner is done! No stress, no worry, no babysitting at the table for an hour. If they don’t eat- no worries. They might be hungrier at the next meal.
All day snacking. It’s an endless cycle. Your kid snacks (on something like goldfish or fruit snacks that don’t fill them up anyway), then they ask for another snack. Then they cry for another snack. “I’m HUNGRYYYYY”. Then at meal time they aren’t hungry. And miraculously 40 minutes later (or at bedtime) they decide they are hungry.
What to do instead: Create a schedule around meals and snacks. If they don’t eat a meal, they will be hungry for the next one. Control the portion size for snacks, and try to include fiber at all meals (more filling). Foods with fiber are fruits, veggies, and whole grains. If they ask for a snack, re-direct by saying “snack time is in 20 minutes (or whenever), lets play ___ instead”.
Catering to pickiness. Let me guess… you feel like a short order cook sometimes?? Your kids “only eat three things” and “HATE veggies”. So you only make them what they want (or they convince you to have a second option if they don’t like dinner…) They are probably constipated too right???
Guess what, mama? YOU get to call the shots. They will NEVER learn to like new foods if they aren’t exposed to them. That doesn’t mean force feeding, but it DOES mean putting foods they may “not like” on their plate. It can take 15-20 tries to develop a taste for a new food. Offer foods in different ways.
For example: broccoli can be raw dipped in ranch or hummus, steamed and soft, roasted and salty, pureed in soup.
Large serving sizes. Kids actually need a lot less than we think in most cases. If you have a toddler, a serving size of a food group is the same amount of tablespoons as they are in years. For example: a 2 year old- serving size of fruit= 2 T, serving size of veg = 2 T, serving size of protein = 2T, etc.
If you find your kids tend to OVER-eat, start with smaller portions and practice mindful eating together. Slow down while eating. You can make a game out of counting “chews”, drinking water before bites, putting the fork down between bites, etc. Also, always wait 20 min before offering seconds.
Too much milk. It’s not that milk is “bad” per se, but drinking cups of milk all day will keep a baby or toddler from being hungry at meal time.
What to do instead?
Plan milk for after meal time.

The moons of Uranus could be home to liquid water oceans
By T.K. Randall
May 9, 2023 · 5 comments
Uranus and some of its moons. Image Credit: NASA
Revisited data from the Voyager 2 probe seems to point to the possibility of not only oceans, but habitability as well.
The ice giant Uranus is full of surprises, it seems - the latest of which being the discovery that several of its moons could be harboring vast subterranean oceans of liquid water.
Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon are all now thought to be promising candidates, with two of these even being warm enough internally to potentially sustain life.
The discovery was made when scientists compared data from the Voyager 2 spacecraft to more recent data collected about other icy moons such as Pluto's Charon and Saturn's Enceladus by NASA's Galileo, Cassini, Dawn and New Horizons missions.
It had previously been thought that the only moon of Uranus capable of generating enough internal heat through radioactive decay was Tatiana, but now it seems as though this process might have also made internal oceans on three other moons possible as well.
Back in 2020, evidence of recent geological activity on Ariel also seemed to point to movement indicative of an interior ocean.
Conclusively determining that these oceans exist, however, will likely prove quite a challenge.

A major leak regarding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 suggests the company’s next-gen foldable might be more of an incremental upgrade. While we’ve already seen some leaked specs about Samsung’s upcoming foldable smartphone, a full spec sheet leak comes from @UniverseIce, a well-known leaker with a strong track record, and another reputable leaker, Yogesh Brar.
Sadly, the specs aren’t that much of an upgrade from the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Most of the upcoming foldable remains the same except for a notable upgrade to the cameras and new processors. We also saw a render of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 earlier this month from another reputable leaker and a Tweet from @UniverseIce that showed a comparison between the displays of the Z Fold 3 and 4. More recently, @UniverseIce posted another render comparing the two foldables.
More megapixels — Lining up with previous leaks, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will have a 7.6-inch QXGA+ AMOLED foldable screen and a 6.2-inch HD+ AMOLED cover display, both with 120Hz refresh rates. The new display is very similar to the previous Galaxy Z Fold 3, although with very slight changes in the dimensions. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 will also be powered by 12GB of RAM, or potentially up to 16 GB, and offer 256GB or 512GB storage options.
The biggest upgrade can be seen with the cameras, where the main rear camera is now 50 megapixels. There’s some discrepancy here with the leaks, but we can expect upgraded ultrawide and zoom lenses, up to 12 megapixels for each. The separate leaks agree on a 10-megapixel outer selfie camera, but the inner under-display camera could be up to 16 megapixels, according to Yogesh Brar.
Both leakers agreed on a new processor for the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which will be a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. It looks like Samsung won’t be upgrading the battery, keeping the current-gen 4,400mAh version which will support 25W charging.
Seems skippable — If leaks are to be believed, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 may not be much of an upgrade compared to its predecessor. If you already have the Galaxy Z Fold 3, the upgrade is might be skippable unless you really want an improved main phone camera.
As for the timing of the Galaxy Z Fold 4, the last two Z Fold smartphones were announced in August. If Samsung sticks to this pattern, we’re only a few weeks away from seeing if these specs are actually accurate.

Radio stations in Guam accidentally broadcast an emergency civil danger warning on Tuesday, prompting residents of the U.S. pacific territory to fear the worst after a week of military threats from North Korea.
The two radio stations, a music channel and a Christian network, broadcast an emergency message over Guam's airwaves at around 12.15 a.m. this morning. The unspecified warning lasted approximately 15 minutes.
Typically, civil danger warnings are rarely broadcast as they are used to alert residents of imminent danger, such as a military strike or terrorist attack. Officials emphasized later that a real emergency message of this nature would describe the nature of the threat.
"The unauthorized test was not connected to any emergency, threat or warning," Guam's homeland security office said in a statement on Tuesday. The Office of Civil Defense added it had worked with the two stations "to ensure the human error will not occur again."
Last week, North Korea threatened to fire missiles towards Guam after an increasingly bitter war of words with Washington.
However, on Tuesday, Pyongyang appeared to back away from its previously sharp rhetoric. North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un was reported to have reviewed plans to fire missiles towards the territory before deciding to hold off for the time being, state media said.
Meanwhile, George Charfauros, Guam's homeland security advisor, called for residents and tourists to remain calm in spite of unconfirmed reports in the media.
"Remember there is no change in threat level, we continue business as usual and know there are U.S. Department of Defense capabilities in place," Charfauros said in a statement on Tuesday.
"We continue communication with our federal and military partners and have not received an official statement warranting any concern for imminent threat to Guam or the Marianas," he added.
Around 75 people gathered in Guam's capital city of Hagatna on Monday evening local time to call for peace. The territory is home to around 162,000 people and houses two military bases.


Security arrangements in Sankarankoil, where a by-election will be held on March 18, are being provided as per Election Commission norms, according to Rajesh Das, Inspector General of Police (south zone).
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, he said that adequate police personnel have been deployed in sensitive pockets of the Assembly segment. Security would be provided to political parties and candidates during the campaign.
Asked whether Central forces would be deployed, he said there was no need so far. In case the need arose and in the event of specific instruction from the EC, they would be deployed. “We are functioning as per the model code of conduct.” On the need for action against protesters in Kudankulam, which was pointed out by Union Minister V. Narayanasamy at a meeting in Madurai, the IGP said that cases had been registered as per law.
“We will take action based on the findings of the investigation.”
To a question on the arrest of a German national from a lodge in Nagercoil, Mr. Das said that it was carried out based on inputs from Central intelligence agencies.

President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to consider the plight of students and call off the strike.
The presidential aide, Femi Adesina, stated this during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“He (Buhari) appealed to ASUU to consider the plight of those young ones. It shows that the president is ready to resolve this matter once and for all,” Adesina said.
He explained that the President is seeking a lasting solution to the lingering strike, maintaining that there have been industrial actions “under everyone”.
“Last week, I saw something on Facebook that Alhaji Shehu Shagari was appealing to ASUU to go back to class. Alhaji Shagari ruled 43 years ago. And he was appealing to ASUU to go back to school,” the presidential aide said.
“That shows you that this is an endemic issue. Left to the government, the students will go back tomorrow, but then the issue has to be resolved conclusively so that in another six weeks, eight weeks, or six months, we don’t go back to where we are today.
“It would not vitiate the president’s legacy in any way because this dates back in time. It was there under Shagari; it was there under Buhari as a military leader; it was there under Babangida, and it was there under Shonekan — under everybody.”
Earlier, Buhari had appealed to the striking lecturers to consider the plight of students and call off the strike.
“I want to use this opportunity to call on ASUU to consider the plight of the students and call off the ongoing strike action,” Buhari said at the 19th National Productivity Day and conferment of the National Productivity Order Merit award held at the State House in Abuja.
“I also call on students to exercise patience as we try to address the nagging issues in our university system within the ambits of available resources.”

Fey confirmed that she will do another impression of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in the episode. "I haven't been watching her on television lately because I've been working on '30 Rock'," she said. However she also said, "It'll for sure be attempted. And then we'll see if it sticks."
Regarding whether she would do a sketch with Bieber, Fey commented, "I met him at the Kids' Choice Awards. He's a nice young man. And I'm looking forward to hopefully doing a sketch with him." Earlier this year at the Oscars, Fey had jokingly revealed a plan she had for Bieber. "I'm gonna pick him up like this," she said, swinging her arms as if she were holding a baby. "And I'm gonna push those bangs out of his face like this [licks her finger], like a mother."
Tina Fey is also scheduled for another "Saturday Night Live" episode that will celebrate Mother's Day. Hosted by Betty White, the May 8 episode will see the reunion of the show's past comediennes such as Molly Shannon, Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, Maya Rudolph and Ana Gasteyer.

2nd time purchase. Similar taste/texture to brown sugar, but lighter, less sweet. I use as my #1 alternative to table sugar, though you need more, since it's not as sweet. Still, DELICIOUS. Safe for Candida sufferers, just not in large quantities.

I am currently on a health kick. Trying to lose some extra pounds that have accrued over the years. I heard about coconut sugar and searched all the stores around me and could not find any. So I started searching for it online. I located it on Iherb.com and immediately ordered it. I have made a few things with it and I think it is great. Tastes awesome. Will definitely be ordering more from Iherb when I need it.

Louisette 2022 Vino Rosato Frizzante
There is no more effective remedy for thirst than Bruno's Louisette. A refreshing wine perfect for all seasons.
A blend of Tempranillo with 15% Merlot, bottled with still residual sugar from the first fermentation. Whipped red fruits, pomegranate scent and hints of yeast. A great wine for a fish grill.
Bruno Duchêne's Petite domaine was born in 2002 in Banyuls-sur-mer with 4.5 hectares of vines and the first vinifications carried out bravely in a garage in the center of the village.
Originally from the Loire, Bruno was a mushroom grower before moving to the Mediterranean. The first step was the meticulous and highly intuitive selection of the various plots that now make up the winery: vines that are all over 50 years old at a minimum altitude of 300 meters above sea level and a dry, ventilated microclimate that allows minimal use of copper and sulfur in the vineyard.

SACRAMENTO -- North County organizations that provide health and social services to the area's 20,000 farmworkers will soon be able to compete for $10 million in grants under a $16 million plan unveiled Tuesday by the California Endowment, the state's largest private, nonprofit health foundation.
The announcement is the first phase of a five-year, $50 million commitment by the foundation to combat problems that prevent migrant farmworkers from getting health care.
"Coming from a farmworking family, I feel very good that someone is looking at this problem because the government has not done it, the growers have not done it and the unions have not been able to do it," said Irma Cota, chief executive officer of North County Health Services.
North County Health Services, a nonprofit agency based in San Marcos, provides health care for 48,000 area residents annually at eight community centers in Oceanside, Encinitas, Carlsbad, San Marcos and Ramona.
Cota said local nonprofit groups that provide services to farmworkers will be able to apply for the money in the form of community action grants in the next few months, with the money scheduled to be disbursed by the endowment early next year.
Cota was part of a 23-member task force that developed the recommendations for the endowment earlier this year.
Under the first phase of the plan, the endowment will earmark $10 million this year for grants ranging from $100,000 to $250,000 to expand clinical services for farmworkers in the state.
The remaining $6 million will pay for:
- A total of $3 million for statewide organizations that advocate health and human rights for agricultural workers.
- The endowment will provide a one-year, $500,000 grant to the California Policy Research Center to increase cooperation between the California and the Mexican governments to address the needs of Mexican migrants in the state.
- A one-year, $505,000 grant will be awarded to Radio Bilingue, a national bilingual radio station, to produce health awareness campaigns for farmworkers and provide the community with information about the services available to them.
- The endowment will also award a $600,000 grant to the California Institute for Rural Studies to fund research to better understand the health needs of the migrant farmworker population.
- Other grants will be made to organizations that provide services and leadership to farmworkers in the state, including $900,000 over the next three years for Organizacion en California de Lideres Campesinas Inc., a statewide organization of Latina farmworkers.
A recent study commissioned by the endowment, called Suffering in Silence, found that less than one-third of farmworkers have any form of insurance and that the risks for chronic disease, such as heart disease, stroke, asthma and diabetes, are startlingly high for a group comprising mostly young men who should be in peak physical condition.
The study focused on farmworkers in seven geographical areas in the state, including Vista in North County.
"There are aspects of this plan that will benefit migrant workers both directly and indirectly," Cota said. "(Through nonprofit groups) there will be new immediate benefits in health, outreach, education and housing services, for instance."
Cota, one of the top Latina health officials in the county, said North County Health Services could benefit from the grants by expanding its mobile clinic for farmworkers.
The mobile clinic -- started this year through a grant from the Bravo Foundation, a local charitable organization -- might be able to expand its hours beyond the 20 hours a week it now operates, Cota said.
"It would be a huge benefit to have a full-time mobile clinic, because people don't have transportation and live in fear of 'La Migra' (immigration authorities)," she said. "This is a population that contributes to our economy every day and our everyday lives. They provide our breakfast and dinner."
Representatives of the governments of Mexico and California, who have endorsed the endowment strategies, were also present at the State Capitol press conference announcing the plan.
"California's agricultural worker population numbers more than 1 million and contributes to California's $30 billion agricultural economy and the plight of this vital population cannot be ignored any longer," said retired U.S. Rep. Esteban Torres, who chaired the endowment's blue ribbon task force.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A prospective, randomized, controlled, non-blind clinical trial was conducted to compare the efficacy of monotherapy with ciprofloxacin with that of a combination of clindamycin plus gentamicin in the treatment of patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease. Pretreatment and post-treatment cervical culture specimens were obtained for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, and Ureaplasma urealyticum. Pretreatment and post-treatment endometrial culture specimens were obtained for those organisms plus facultative and anaerobic bacteria. Minimal inhibitory concentrations were determined on all isolates by agar dilution. Clinical resolution of infection was seen in 31 of 33 (94 percent) ciprofloxacin-treated patients compared with 34 of 35 (97 percent) clindamycin/gentamicin-treated patients. N. gonorrhoeae was eradicated in all cases and C. trachomatis in 12 of 13 cases (92 percent). Ciprofloxacin appeared less effective than clindamycin/gentamicin in eradicating bacterial-vaginosis-associated organisms from post-treatment culture specimens obtained from the endometrium. Comparable clinical response was seen with both regimens. The significance of persistent bacterial-vaginosis-associated organisms following ciprofloxacin therapy is unclear. However, since one goal of treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease should be to eliminate organisms from the upper genital tract, ciprofloxacin may not provide optimal single-agent therapy for pelvic inflammatory disease.

Conservative group gins up opposition to Dix lease across NC
Posted November 29, 2012
Updated November 30, 2012
Raleigh, N.C. — As Raleigh officials negotiate with the Governor's Office to acquire the campus of Dorothea Dix Hospital for a 325-acre "destination park," a conservative group is calling people statewide to build opposition to the plan.
Under a proposed deal that the Council of State is scheduled to discuss next Tuesday, the state would lease all the Dix property to Raleigh, which would then lease back a portion of the property to the state as needed for Department of Health and Human Services offices.
"At this point in time, I can't absolutely say it'll go or that I'll have the votes," Gov. Beverly Perdue said Thursday, noting details of a deal aren't finalized.
Americans for Prosperity says the deal doesn't make sense for state taxpayers and that it primarily benefits those living in Raleigh and Wake County. The group began a "robo-call" campaign Thursday, encouraging people from other parts of the state to lobby officials to scotch the deal.
“This is a billion-dollar giveaway of taxpayer resources to Raleigh elites for another state taxpayer-funded cultural amenity," Dallas Woodhouse, AFP state director said in a statement, noting that state money already supports museums, parks and the North Carolina Symphony in Raleigh.
"Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton needs to explain how, in essence, giving away a valuable state property to one city benefits taxpayers in his native Rutherford County," Woodhouse said. "Auditor (Beth) Wood and Treasurer (Janet) Cowell, who are elected to protect all taxpayers, need to explain why this is a good deal."
Democratic Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin and Republican Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry both said they want to study the Dix issue before any Council of State vote to ensure the state gets a good deal.
Documents obtained by WRAL News show that Perdue and her staff have been working on a deal for months and that they have discussed both an outright sale to the city as well as an arrangement under which North Carolina State University would own and manage the property.
Plans for the Dix property, which was established as the state mental hospital in the mid-19th century, have been developed in concert with plans to consolidate DHHS offices.
The agency is spread over 60 buildings throughout Wake County, including many on the Dix campus. Kevin McLaughlin, Perdue's deputy chief of staff, said the governor wants to consolidate DHHS into four or five buildings somewhere away from the Dix campus.
Lawmakers have been skeptical of Perdue's effort to consolidate those agencies and have openly questioned why she has pushed plans to move them to a new location rather than building on the Dix campus.
Some Republican legislative leaders say the Democratic governor is trying to create a legacy for herself with the deal, and they want a vote delayed until after Republican Gov.-elect Pat McCrory takes office next month, which also would give lawmakers a chance to review the plan.
Perdue took exception to that idea, saying negotiations aren't being rushed and shouldn't be a partisan debate.
"I've never known politics in this state or public service in this state to be this acidic, and I find it sad for the people of North Carolina, who expect more from their leaders, and I expect more," she said. "I wonder sometimes if maybe somebody's trying out for the Grinch in the Christmas play."


With just one fight under his belt in 2020, Conor McGregor has been aiming for a return to the Octagon one more time before the year ends. For his next opponent, the former UFC Lightweight Champion is willing fight Dustin Poirier, someone he faced in the early days of his career at featherweight.
While the fight already seems to be in the discussion, Conor McGregor has claimed that it needs to happen in 2020, either at UFC 255 or at UFC 256. However, while speaking on THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas, Dustin Poirier claimed that he isn't sure about the UFC booking the bout in 2020.
Dustin Poirier claims Conor McGregor fight may not happen in 2020
On the back of a huge win over Dan Hooker, in a fight that many people even labeled as a potential Fight of the Year, Dustin Poirier is in contention of finding himself across the Octagon against Conor McGregor for the second time.
However, with McGregor wanting the fight in 2020 itself, The Diamond has claimed that there is a possibility that the UFC eventually postpones the rematch. While interacting with Teddy Atlas, Dustin Poirier said:
"Going back to why I think he wants this fight is because he's angling to fight Pacquaio, right? That was in the news. So I don't know if the UFC wants him to fight one more time before they allow him to fight Pacquiao or if he just wants to get one more in this year before starting next year with the Pacquiao fight. But what better way to do against another southpaw? You know, I think that might be part of his mindset, maybe he wants to fight a southpaw before he fights another southpaw. I don't know what's going on but I just felt like, that is what the alignment is."- Dustin Poirier said.
Avenging his loss to Conor McGregor isn't the only thing Dustin Poirier has on the back of his mind. The former interim lightweight champion noted that he thinks about every other loss inside of the Octagon, also meaning that he would be open to avenging his crushing defeat to Khabib Nuramgomedov, as well.

Isaiah 24: The Earth Mourns and Withers
Listen to “The Earth Mourns and Withers” (4.19.09)
Chart: The Tribulation and the Millennium – 4 Views
Where we are:
Part 1: Judgment
Part 2: Historical Interlude
Part 3: Salvation
When this takes place:
Isaiah 24-27 forms a single prophecy. While it’s difficult to pinpoint the time in which it is given, it seems best to place it a short time before the attack by Sennacherib, king of Assyria, on Jerusalem in 701 B.C.
Isa. 24:21-22 – On that day the Lord will punish the host of heaven above and kings of the earth below. They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon; after many days they will be punished.
This section of Isaiah begins with an end-times perspective explaining how the Lord will judge the whole world and set up His kingdom on earth (Isa. 24:1-3, 19-23). “These prophecies reveal how God will finally deal with the rebellious nations of chaps. 13-23 so that he can bring an end to the pride and violent sinfulness that has polluted the earth. God will destroy the wicked and establish peace on the earth, and then the holy people who remain will worship God alone and sing songs to exalt him” (Gary V. Smith, The New American Commentary: Isaiah 1-39, p. 405). Because of their description of the Tribulation and Millennium, chapters 24-27 are known as “Isaiah’s apocalypse.”
Notice Isaiah’s description of end-time events that are reinforced in New Testament prophecies. For example, the earth will be stripped completely bare and its inhabitants scattered (vv. 1-3; cf. Rev. 8:6 – 9:21), and the sun and moon will darken in preparation for the full revelation of Messiah’s kingdom (v. 23; cf. Matt. 24:29-30; Rev. 21:23).
The Tribulation (Isa. 24:1-13, 16b-22)
While the immediate context of this chapter may refer to the Assyrian invasion of Judah, or to the Babylonian captivity that will occur more than 100 years later, it seems to have its ultimate fulfillment in the Great Tribulation yet to come. H.L. Willmington offers the following observations:
A. The Great Tribulation–what it is (24:1-4, 6-13, 16b-22)
1. God himself will lay waste to the entire earth (24:1): The earth will become a great wasteland, and the people will be scattered.
2. All people and fallen angels will be judged (24:2-4, 21-22): No one will be spared from God’s wrath, and the fallen angels will be put in prison.
3. Very few will survive (24:6): A curse will consume the earth and its people, who will be destroyed by fire.
4. Happiness will no longer exist (24:7-13): All joy in life will be gone.
5. Evil and treachery will be everywhere (24:16b-18): People possessed by sheer terror will flee from one danger only to be confronted with something even more horrifying.
6. The earth will stagger like a drunkard (24:19-20): It will fall and collapse like a tent, unable to rise again because of the weight of its sins.
B. The Great Tribulation–why it occurs (24:5): Humanity has twisted the laws of God and has broken his holy commands (The Outline Bible, S. Is 24:5).
Isaiah uses the word “earth” 16 times in this chapter to emphasize the global impact of God’s intervention in human affairs, wielding judgment and exalting His glory. No stratum of society is spared and no portion of the earth escapes unscathed. The reason for God’s plundering of the earth is provided in verse 5: “The earth is polluted by its inhabitants, for they have transgressed teachings, overstepped decrees, and broken the everlasting covenant.” That covenant “probably refers not to the Abrahamic or Mosaic Covenants but to the covenant people implicitly had with God to obey His Word. Right from the very beginning mankind refused to live according to God’s Word (Gen. 2:16-17; 3:1-6; cf. Hosea 6:7). And throughout history people have refused to obey God’s revelation” (John F. Walvoord, Roy B. Zuck, The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures, S. 1:1072). Robert B. Hughes and Carl J. Laney add, “The ‘everlasting covenant’ must refer to the moral law of God revealed in his word and written in man’s heart (cf. Rom. 2:14-15)” (Tyndale Concise Bible Dictionary, S 263).
It cannot be emphasized too strongly that God is the one wreaking havoc on the earth. While people are responsible for their sinful actions, and these actions often produce great hardship for the perpetrators and for others in the process, the Lord of Hosts clearly is demonstrating His holiness and power in events that otherwise might be interpreted as a scorched-earth policy. After all, if God created the present heavens and earth out of chaos (Gen. 1:2) and judged the earth by water in the great flood (Gen. 6-9), He has every right to judge mankind’s sin in the latter days by reintroducing chaos to the created order. Ultimately, He will purge the heavens and earth of the last vestiges of sin by fire and create new heavens and a new earth (2 Peter 3:5-13; Rev. 21-22). Even the imagery of Isaiah in verse 18 harkens back to the flood: “For the windows are opened from above, and the foundations of the earth are shaken” (cf. Gen. 7:11).
Matthew Henry summarizes well:
The Lord that made the earth, and made it fruitful and beautiful, for the service and comfort of man, now makes it empty and waste (v. 1), for its Creator is and will be its Judge; he has an incontestable right to pass sentence upon it and an irresistible power to execute that sentence. It is the Lord that has spoken this word, and he will do the work (v. 3); it is his curse that has devoured the earth (v. 6), the general curse which sin brought upon the ground for man’s sake (Gen. 3:17), and all the particular curses which families and countries bring upon themselves by their enormous wickedness. See the power of God’s curse, how it makes all empty and lays all waste; those whom he curses are cursed indeed (Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible: Complete and Unabridged in One Volume, S. Is 24:1).
One final note should be made before moving on. Isaiah writes that the Lord will punish “the host of heaven above and the kings of the earth below” (v. 21). The “host of heaven” may refer to the spiritual forces opposed to God, specifically Satan and demons. The “kings of the earth below” no doubt are the earthly political forces facing God’s judgment. “Those powers in the heavens and on the earth will become like cattle when the Lord herds them together and places them like prisoners . . . in a dungeon. Their punishment after many days refers to the great white throne judgment after the Millennium when all the unrighteous will have to stand before God and be judged for their evil deeds and lack of faith in Him (Rev. 20:11-15)” (The Bible Knowledge Commentary, S. 1:1072).
The Promised Kingdom (Isa. 24:14-16a, 23)
A few will escape these terrible judgments, just as a few olives or grapes may be gleaned after the harvest (v. 13). The survivors will rejoice, raising their voices in songs of praise that may be heard from “the ends of the earth” (v. 16). This singing seems to come out of the scattered remnant, which in the light of the gospel may be seen as Jews and Gentiles alike (cf. John 11:52). “Out of this terrible devastation … will come the glorious light of Christ in his millennial kingdom (24:23; see 60:19-20; Rev. 21:23; 22:5)” (Willmington’s Bible Handbook, S. 365). If the sun and moon are to lose their luster in comparison with the Messiah, what a surpassing vision of glory awaits all who trust in Him (see Rev. 21:22-27).
It’s important to keep in mind that the concept of a remnant is central to Isaiah’s teaching (see Isa. 1:9; 10:20-22; 11:11, 16; 14:22, 30). The believing remnant will view the earth’s devastation as the righteous act of a holy God; it will not be viewed in the way the people of Isaiah’s day see the Assyrian invasion – as cruel and unjust punishment. Those who receive Christ by faith today may joyfully anticipate His future physical and visible manifestation of power, glory and holiness.
Matthew Henry writes: “Those who through grace can glory in tribulation ought to glorify God in tribulation, and give him thanks for their comforts, which abound as their afflictions do abound. We must in every fire, even the hottest, in every isle, even the remotest, keep up our good thoughts of God. When, though he slay us, yet we trust in him-when, though for his sake we are killed all the day long, yet none of these things move us-then we glorify the Lord in the fires” (S. Is 24:13).

Sound reasons to trust the Scriptures (part 4)
This is the fourth in a nine-part series of articles offering sound reasons to believe the Bible is the Word of God.
In Systematic Theology (Vol. I), Dr. Norman Geisler presents many lines of evidence supporting claims for the Bible as the Word of God. In unique fashion, he labels each line of evidence with a word beginning with the letter “S,” making his arguments relatively easy to follow and remember. This article borrows his headings and then incorporates some of Geisler’s research with numerous other sources, which are cited.
Reason 4: The testimony of the supernatural
The Bible features nearly 300 prophecies of the Messiah, the latest of which dates to more than 200 years before the birth of Jesus. Every prophecy has been fulfilled, with the exception of those pertaining to His glorious return. Many are clear and specific, including:
† His virgin birth (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:21).
† His being “cut off” or killed 483 years after the declaration to reconstruct the temple in 444 B.C. (Dan. 9:24-26).
† His birthplace in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2; Matt. 2:1; Luke 2:4-7).
† His miracle-working authority (Isa. 35:5-6; Matt. 9:35).
† His rejection by the Jews (Ps. 118:22; Isa. 53:3; Acts 4:11; 1 Peter 2:7)
† His suffering and death (Ps. 22; Isa. 53; Matt. 27:27ff).
† His resurrection (Ps. 2:7; 16:10; Mark 16:6; Acts 2:31; 1 Cor. 15:3-8).
† His ascension into heaven (Ps. 68:18; Acts 1:9).
† His place today at the Father’s right hand (Ps. 110:1; Heb. 1:3).
Contrast these specific predictions and their fulfillment in Jesus of Nazareth with the predictions of psychics today who, according to The People’s Almanac, 1976, are wrong 92 percent of the time. Even the highly reputed visions of Nostradamus are suspect. He often was wrong, especially when being specific, and his predictions were usually so vague as to be practically useless.
The bible gives us many supernatural confirmations of its divine origin. For example, Moses, Elijah and other prophets were given the authority to perform miracles to confirm God’s sovereign power and divine message. Jesus, we are told by Luke, was “a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know” (Acts 2:22).

Sound reasons to trust the Scriptures (part 3)
This is the third in a nine-part series of articles offering sound reasons to believe the Bible is the Word of God.
In Systematic Theology (Vol. 1), Dr. Norman Geisler presents many lines of evidence supporting claims for the Bible as the Word of God. In unique fashion, he labels each line of evidence with a word beginning with the letter “S,” making his arguments relatively easy to follow and remember. These articles borrow his headings and then incorporate some of Geisler’s research with other sources, which are cited.
Reason 3: The testimony of the scribes
- The 40 men who penned the scriptures over a period of 1,500 years insisted that their message came from God. Many were persecuted and even killed for their faith. Of the 11 faithful apostles plus Paul, only John escaped a martyr’s death, although he was boiled in oil and banished to Patmos; even at that, he continued to boldly proclaim divine truth.
- The authors of the Bible claimed to be under the direction of the Holy Spirit (2 Sam. 23:2; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21).
- The prophets ascribed their message to God. Phrases such as “Thus saith the Lord,” “God said,” and “the Word of the Lord came to me” are found hundreds of times in the Bible.
- The prophets were convinced they were speaking and writing God’s Word. Near the end of the Old Testament, Zechariah mentioned “the law (and) the words that the Lord Almighty had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets” (Zech. 7:12). Peter wrote in 2 Peter 1:21 that “prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” Many of the prophets suffered and died for their belief that they were speaking God’s Word (Matt. 23:34-35).
- Writing about the Old Testament, Paul declared that “All Scripture is God-breathed …” (2 Tim. 3:16-17). New Testament writers like Peter referred to the writings of Paul as “Scriptures” (2 Peter 3:16). And the author of Hebrews ranked the New Testament with the Old Testament (Heb. 1:1-2; 2:3).
- Non-Christian ancient writings attest to the truthfulness of the eyewitness accounts of Christ. Ancient history dealt almost exclusively with political or military rulers, or with religious and philosophical leaders of established and respected religions. Since Jesus fits none of these categories, we would expect to see very little about Him in non-Christian writings. Yet the Jewish historian Josephus, in his Jewish Antiquities, written in the last third of the first century, corroborates the claims of the New Testament writers that Jesus was more than a man, was the Messiah, and rose from the dead on the third day (18:63-64, quoted in “The Historical Reliability of the New Testament,” Craig L. Blomberg, Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics, p. 215).

A story based upon a scary dream I had 4/9/14.
The main word I knew was "Incorecta/Incorrecta". Does it mean something?
A story of friendship torn by hatred & death. Jacob McHael & Damien Lore were not the ones to have been friends, nor make them, but they find themselves drawn together by their situations & death.
The first girl to speak was their leader, Jaimie. A fair-haired, pretty young lady with behaviour to fit an aggressive mongoose.
"Oh look, it's our friend the geek~" she smiled.
Damien looked at their shoes, ignoring the comments with experience of long years. The girls continued to speak poison, but not a word was heard or felt. Finally, they went aside to try another form of attack, the physical sort. They took a light coating of plaster to their hands & tried to touch him on the face. Damien knocked their hands away, keeping his face from the attacks as best he could.
Ellen, a brunette newer to the group, gave a light slap to Damiens' cheek to which he received with a slap to the top of her head. Ellen went to put her hand up, but knocked the laptop to the concrete. Damien stood up, picked up his laptop & turned to Ellen.
Ellen looked both surprised & confused. "You shouldn't be saying 'sorry'."
"Yes I should."
"Because I'm not like them."
And without another sound, turned swiftly & walked away. Ellen stared after him with the confusion of a bully being silently forgiven. The other girls just laughed as Damien vanished behind a building.
Damien trudged home & sat at the table to do some homework. His mother gently poured icing over a freshly baked cake, smoothing it over it with practice & perfection.
"Mum, can I tell you something?"
"Of course." she replied, not taking her eyes from her work. "I'm all ears."
"Well, there's some kids..."
"That want to be your friend?"
"That are picking on me."
Damien slowly explained the days troubles to his mother. When he'd finished & she'd finished, his mother looked up & laughed. Damien sighed & continued his work.
Thanks for your time, mum...
Without much thought, Damien slipped into the office. He sat down on the comfy lounge in silence, waiting out the bullies for as long as he could. He'd never really tried hiding, it never worked, but today he felt compelled too. For what reason, he could not trace.
That day he would meet Jacob, a bad boy with a tendency to trip & fall at the drop of a hat.

The modern inflatable kayaks and canoe have proven to be extremely safe and are readily available from quality producers. They are known to be quite durable and puncture evidence. So while there are both pros and cons with inflatables, as there are with any other style of kayak, the cons seem to be an acceptable trade off in return for the benefits that are offered in no other type of fishing kayak.
Elements to consider when getting inflatable kayaks and canoe
So just what is it that is triggering such an uprising in the popularity of inflatable kayaks and canoe? The number one factor is portability. An inflatable fishing kayak can be folded into a carrying pack and quickly backpacked to remote fishing areas that no other boat can be required to. Many inflatables can be bought with a bring pack that can either be utilized as a backpack, or as a shoulder bag, and taking them to remote fishing spots is no more problem than taking along an additional tackle box. Many fishermen have actually a well kept list of those secret and remote fishing areas that can only be reached by a long walking. Carrying any type of watercraft by hand to those websites has merely never ever been an alternative.
The double floor function of certain inflatable kayaks makes it nearly impossible to puncture. This system provides double security to the most susceptible part of the boat. Even when it’s full of water, the inflatable kayak and canoe still stays afloat and stays rock-solid and stable. Compared to any kind of kayak, inflatable kayaks are the most buoyant since they are basically comprised of exploded internal compartments. Inflatable kayaks are likewise very safe to use because they are hard to topple. The kayaks’ flat bottoms make them extremely steady.

- Regain self-confidence;
- Take part in work as a necessity in order to participate in exchange, as the basis of all social life and therefore accept the restrictions and understand the purpose;
- Become sustainably employable (again) and access a normal job, which requires acquiring a pace of work, following behavioural rules and acquiring the required qualifications for the job considered;
- Reform and consolidate one's social connections and networks (family, friends, loves, colleagues etc.) which facilitates professional integration and without which there cannot be any sustainable re-integration;
- Become a citizen in one's own right who expresses one's ideas, takes financial responsibility for oneself and enjoys living in society again.

More on Accountability
To watch Congressman Graves give an update on what is happneing in Washington, DC on the Louisiana Business and Industry Show click here.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Garret Graves (South Louisiana) and the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure advanced legislation today directly impacting Louisiana’s flood protection, maritime, coastal, environmental and other water resources-related interests.
In today’s DC Current, US Congressman Garret Graves talked about moving the US Army Corps Of Engineers into another cabinet level department, and on bringing back the Farm Bill.
Click here to listen.
Louisiana’s in the process of getting its first share of federal offshore oil revenue earmarked for Gulf states. It’s the first such revenue pot which amounts to $188 million to the four states. The state will get $82 million to the state, which has already been assigned to help rebuild coastal restoration projects.
Louisiana’s Congressional delegation is working to reform laws to help victims recover from natural disasters.
WASHINGTON — The federal farm bill, a periodic and sprawling reauthorization of an array of government agricultural and rural development programs, is facing a growing battle on Capitol Hill over proposals to stiffen work requirements for food stamp recipients.
The Republican draft of the farm bill would increase work and training requirements on adults receiving benefits from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, informally known as food stamps.
WASHINGTON — A raft of changes to federal disaster policy, including a number directly affecting those hit by the 2016 Louisiana floods, are now sitting before the U.S. Senate for the second time in the past six months after clearing the House of Representatives.
