For all of their animosity toward Christians, a recent study released by the University of Oregon shows that atheists "tended to find believers to be more trustworthy" than other atheists. The study found "Christians, Muslims, gay men, feminists or Jewish people" were all considered more trustworthy than an atheist. "Only rapists were distrusted to a comparable degree," the report found. Liked by Peter Egan Jr. The suffocating defense that LSU has unleashed on opponents this year has earned Tigers' defensive coordinator John Chavis the Broyles Award, which is given annually to the nation's top assistant football coach. According to the AP report: "The 55-year-old Chavis guided an LSU defense that was second in the country in both scoring and total defense. The Tigers (13-0) allowed 10.5 points and 252.1 yards per game while finishing the regular season undefeated and winning the Southeastern Conference championship over Georgia." Keep in mind that LSU played Oregon and West Virginia in two of its non-conference games, and held an Alabama team that averaged 40+ points per game to a grand total of two field goals in the match-up dubbed "the Game of the Century".

Had a friend not brought him to the hospital in time, he could have bled to death. In that sense, he's lucky to be alive today. This is the story of Jeff's accident, and the trials and tribulations he and his family have endured in the time since (he needs his hands to work). I've read through the blog, and even offered to do what I can do to help make the situation better. If nothing else, it's an interesting and heartwarming story that will not disappoint. Liked by eganhealthcare PanzerMike anoop and 2 more Most of the "poor states" states, as ALEC calls them, have the highest personal income tax rates and the largest unfunded state pension liabilities. But instead of taking the red-state approach by lowering taxes and/or cutting spending, the blue states tend to want to raise taxes even higher, just like their White House mentor. Matthews' conclusions should be heartening to conservatives. Why won't some of these blue-state fiscal basket cases learn the lesson that a state can't tax and spend its way to prosperity? Well, for one thing, many of them have been hoping for a federal bailout--and President Obama tried. A Wall Street Journal article points out that about $200 billion of the president's misnamed "jobs bill" was little more than a state bailout for teachers and construction workers. But Republicans are refusing to be complicit in state fiscal irresponsibility. Call it tough love, but blue states will sink or swim on their own. ... read full post While archiving this source at DAILY GOOD, I am sharing ... "His travels have taken him to some of the most inhospitable places on the earth, outside the furthest reaches of human civilization. But Barry Lopez always returns to his home in Oregon to write about what he has seen. And though nature is often his inspiration, it is not his subject, Lopez tells Bill Moyers, 'I'm not writing about nature. I'm writing about humanity. And if I have a subject, it is justice. And the rediscovery of the manifold way in which our lives can be shaped by the recovery of a sense of reverence for life.' Lopez defines reverence as understanding "that the world will always be there, no matter how sophisticated our technologies of probing reality become. The great mystery will be there forever. Lopez was Bill Moyers' last guest on his show, the Journal. The transcript of that program follows."
