<div>Rep. Sander Levin has been tapped to replace Charlie Rangel as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Democratic lawmakers after the second thoughts about raising another legislator who was technically next in line at the post had. Levin is disliked by the far right, and NeoNazi&#8217;s in particular.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Levin, a Michigan Democrat, was discussed as a possible replacement Wednesday shortly after Rangel announced he would step down amid a broad ethics probe. But New York Rep. Pete Stark, the next most senior member of the panel Rangel, emerged as the likely candidate.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">This decision had many Democrats worry however, because Stark was seen by some as too volatile for such an important committee to lead. His racist, sexually and politically charged comments have received him into trouble in the past.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., Said after a meeting Wednesday that members wanted a consensus candidate. They met again Thursday at their final decision.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Although Levin will be &#8220;acting&#8221; president provided that the full House approves the shift, it is unclear whether the departure is temporary Rangel. The whole room would have to approve any attempt by Rangel to return to the post.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Levin can be regarded as a safer choice for the job than Stark.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Rangel, who last week admonished by the ethics committee on corporate funding of the various trips he took to the Caribbean, said Wednesday that he resign to avoid a distraction, but Stark &#8211; in the few hours he was considered for the job &#8211; all fill that void.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The Republican National Committee blasted an e-mail Thursday morning with a slew of Stark&#8217;s controversial comments over the past two decades, called him a &#8220;walking YouTube clip. &#8220;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">In a remarkable quote, Stark, who is white, called the former Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan, a black, a &#8220;disgrace to his race&#8221; back in 1990. Sullivan later said he was &#8220;programmed&#8221; by the &#8220;overseers Sununu on the plantation. &#8220;He referred to the then White House chief of staff John Sununu.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">In one famous incident in 2007 on the House floor, Stark also accused President Bush of sending troops to Iraq &#8220;to their head for the amusement of President get blown.&#8221;</div>

<div id="_mcePaste">A writer goes undercover as a &#8220;Church Lady&#8221; writing a report of membership of an evangelical church. The book is a melodrama, with the author in the role of villain. yes</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">In May 2007, deep in her time as a stealth member of Jerry Falwell&#8217;s Lynchburg, Virginia, town, Gina Welch had become anxious about her comfort level there. The latest alarming development: Falwell &#8211; fundamentalist preacher, Moral Majority founder, bête noire of the American left &#8211; had just died, and Welch, a Berkeley native and lifelong atheist, was sad.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Grief was not the reason she stood a few days later, mourners in the crowd near the entrance of Falwell&#8217;s mega-church, &#8220;Jesus first&#8221; pin adorning her chest. She was &#8220;undercover&#8221; as she puts it, &#8220;posing as a church lady&#8221; to collect material for her first book.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Following the trend in hip non-fiction, Welch&#8217;s &#8220;In the Land of Believers&#8217; records something of a crazy stunt: A 20-something, Yale-educated secular jew California infiltrates a nerve center of the religious right, as if they saved and evangelize to the faithful, the whole time hiding her true identity.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">For all that, Welch explains, the impetus for the project was serious. She wanted to understand her own foundation, &#8220;what my evangelical neighbors were just like people, unfiltered and off the record, not as the subjects of the interviews conducted by the&#8221; liberal media. &#8220;&#8221; The truth, she wrote, her subjects&#8217; needed to know the microphone was off. &#8220;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">And yet, it is unfair for Welch microphone is never finished. The people she meets are always on the plate, they just do not know. They do not know her, although they think they do.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">If it is regular at Thomas Road Baptist Church, joins a group of singles there and travel to Alaska on a mission trip with 16 other people (their goal to win souls for Jesus, 100), some of her subjects is that they really believe their friend. When her slumbering conscience is half awakened by the continued kindness of two of these people &#8211; a young woman she calls Alice and she calls a pastor Ray &#8211; Welch begins to have difficulty compartmentalizing their different lives.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">This is in the end, offer the sick fascination and excitement of the Judas kiss of a book: Welch&#8217;s hardly surprising discoveries about evangelicals (the man that they even love), but the notion that eventually someone &#8211; whether one of the people she has fooled &#8211; it will expose, and heartache will follow.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">To her credit as a writer, we hurt for those who have left themselves vulnerable to her, but the behavior of Welch&#8217;s throws the book off balance. Intended as a work of anthropological study, &#8220;In the Land of Believers&#8221; morphs into melodrama, with the author in the role of villain.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">One need not Christian, or even believe that religion is inherently deserves respect, to cringe at the nonchalance with which they trampled on the most sacred traditions of her subjects.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">In the 2004 movie &#8220;Saved!&#8221; When Eva Amurri the Jewish rebel character fakes gets stored in the mall, it is comical. When Welch pretends same one Sunday in the church, it is terrible, especially because of its retrospective attempt to justify themselves: they &#8220;do not have a deep understanding of how the heck to lie about.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Months later, when they have to be baptized in the pool overlooking the sanctuary, they deterred by the breeziness &#8220;instructions from a volunteer at her church. It is impossible not to wonder: You call her for insufficient ceremony?</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">But the worst betrayal of Welch&#8217;s many people who do not know they are examined &#8211; some with a rather cruel eyes, she is particularly derisive of carefully chopped, heavily made-up women. Such a major ethical transgression, a striking irony in a book with substantial morality, is the fruit of writers sometimes tell a lie: that additional damage can not be helped.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Yet, very often can be.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">One can not help but wonder what kind of book Welch would have written had she decided against her extensive masquerade. As Daniel Radosh points out in &#8220;Rapture Ready!&#8221; His incisive exploration of the 2008 Christian pop culture: &#8220;By definition, evangelicals with the culture in general.&#8221; With honesty Welch would have earned the trust of the people at Thomas Road, or at least their cooperation.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Instead, with a youthful blend of cynicism and naivete, she approached Falwell&#8217;s flock as they were the enemy &#8211; thus establishing itself to be completely disarmed by their humanity. This small skirmish in the culture wars, score one for the evangelicals.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">When Gina Welch, a writer with a secular Jewish background, decided to Jerry Falwell evangelical Christian church to attend with an undercover expose in mind, she came away surprised.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Welch, an English professor at George Washington University, tells how her book brutally plan began shortly after she moved to the University of Virginia from California to graduate school. Fascinated and slightly repulsed by the evangelical nature of many Virginians, Welch began visiting Thomas Road Baptist Church, the basis for the famous preacher Falwell. (Falwell, the control of the vast church when Welch began attending in 2005. He died unexpectedly in 2007.)</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Welch thought about the consequences of going undercover, by almost everyone to lie about her background and motives. When she forged ahead, as a hardened investigative journalist, using the often stated reasons, &#8220;You need to break some eggs to make an omelet &#8230; I saw myself as an armchair anthropologist, mapping of the evangelical culture, as reality tv troublemakers up, I had not come to make friends. &#8220;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Expect insincerity meet and perhaps corruption apparently common among celebrity evangelists, Welch quickly realized her experience would be more complicated than expected. They distinguish the evangelical Christians she met seemed so much happier than her secular friends and family.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Before she could steel, Welch realized a kind of friendships with church members began to flourish, especially with Alice (as many people in the book, not her real name), another member of the church singles group that attended Welch.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Welch also noted that she really moved by some of the sermons and hymns. During the singing of &#8220;Have Thine Own Way &#8216;,&#8217; emotion began to surge in me. It was the first in which I was overcome by what I eventually came to think as Feeling X.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Welch was not sure how to put words in X Feeling. &#8220;The closest I felt it was a kind of vertigo &#8230; limitlessness, a sudden permeability, a sense of connectedness with all living things around me, with all the time and space. It was a kind of instant physical concept of infinity, and if a little confusing, it still felt good. &#8220;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">In the singles group traveled to Alaska, hoping to at least 100 people convert to Christianity far, Welch made the trip, the calculation is she special insights during such an intense time with the evangelists Falwell. The members of the group of singles come across as spiritual, but sincerely and deeply flawed men and women &#8211; not so very different in many respects from non-Christians, but certainly live in a world of faith that condemns homosexuality, the consumption of alcohol, for sex marriage, abortion and it seems too much training. (Welch feels disapproval when her undergraduate studies at Yale University, graduating class of 2001, is known.)</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Welch&#8217;s mother, resolutely non-Christian, worried about whether her daughter would be caught in a cult-like atmosphere. Welch&#8217;s mother eventually traveled to Virginia to accompany the author to Thomas Road Baptist Church, the birth of one of the many memorable scenes in the book line. Welch separates the church during a stay at home writing the book, then returns to Lynchburg for her undercover mission reveal face to face, a mission that understand made her feel sick.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The book is a sometimes glib, sometimes searching memoirs about the complexity of religious belief. Welch is a combination of thoughtful, funny, self-mockery and an experienced stylist. As an agnostic who often attend mainstream evangelical churches, I am glad I joined her on her trip &#8211; as a reader.</div>

And yet, it is unfair for Welch microphone is never finished. The people she meets are always on the plate, they just do not know. They do not know her, although they think they do.<br />
If it is regular at Thomas Road Baptist Church, joins a group of singles there and travel to Alaska on a mission trip with 16 other people (their goal to win souls for Jesus, 100), some of her subjects is that they really believe their friend. When her slumbering conscience is half awakened by the continued kindness of two of these people &#8211; a young woman she calls Alice and she calls a pastor Ray &#8211; Welch begins to have difficulty compartmentalizing their different lives.<br />
This is in the end, offer the sick fascination and excitement of the Judas kiss of a book: Welch&#8217;s hardly surprising discoveries about evangelicals (the man that they even love), but the notion that eventually someone &#8211; whether one of the people she has fooled &#8211; it will expose, and heartache will follow.<br />
To her credit as a writer, we hurt for those who have left themselves vulnerable to her, but the behavior of Welch&#8217;s throws the book off balance. Intended as a work of anthropological study, &#8220;In the Land of Believers&#8221; morphs into melodrama, with the author in the role of villain.<br />
One need not Christian, or even believe that religion is inherently deserves respect, to cringe at the nonchalance with which they trampled on the most sacred traditions of her subjects.<br />
In the 2004 movie &#8220;Saved!&#8221; When Eva Amurri the Jewish rebel character fakes gets stored in the mall, it is comical. When Welch pretends same one Sunday in the church, it is terrible, especially because of its retrospective attempt to justify themselves: they &#8220;do not have a deep understanding of how the heck to lie about.&#8221;<br />
Months later, when they have to be baptized in the pool overlooking the sanctuary, they deterred by the breeziness &#8220;instructions from a volunteer at her church. It is impossible not to wonder: You call her for insufficient ceremony?<br />
But the worst betrayal of Welch&#8217;s many people who do not know they are examined &#8211; some with a rather cruel eyes, she is particularly derisive of carefully chopped, heavily made-up women. Such a major ethical transgression, a striking irony in a book with substantial morality, is the fruit of writers sometimes tell a lie: that additional damage can not be helped.<br />
Yet, very often can be.<br />
One can not help but wonder what kind of book Welch would have written had she decided against her extensive masquerade. As Daniel Radosh points out in &#8220;Rapture Ready!&#8221; His incisive exploration of the 2008 Christian pop culture: &#8220;By definition, evangelicals with the culture in general.&#8221; With honesty Welch would have earned the trust of the people at Thomas Road, or at least their cooperation.<br />
Instead, with a youthful blend of cynicism and naivete, she approached Falwell&#8217;s flock as they were the enemy &#8211; thus establishing itself to be completely disarmed by their humanity. This small skirmish in the culture wars, score one for the evangelicals.<br />
When Gina Welch, a writer with a secular Jewish background, decided to Jerry Falwell evangelical Christian church to attend with an undercover expose in mind, she came away surprised.<br />
Welch, an English professor at George Washington University, tells how her book brutally plan began shortly after she moved to the University of Virginia from California to graduate school. Fascinated and slightly repulsed by the evangelical nature of many Virginians, Welch began visiting Thomas Road Baptist Church, the basis for the famous preacher Falwell. (Falwell, the control of the vast church when Welch began attending in 2005. He died unexpectedly in 2007.)<br />
Welch thought about the consequences of going undercover, by almost everyone to lie about her background and motives. When she forged ahead, as a hardened investigative journalist, using the often stated reasons, &#8220;You need to break some eggs to make an omelet &#8230; I saw myself as an armchair anthropologist, mapping of the evangelical culture, as reality tv troublemakers up, I had not come to make friends. &#8221;<br />
Expect insincerity meet and perhaps corruption apparently common among celebrity evangelists, Welch quickly realized her experience would be more complicated than expected. They distinguish the evangelical Christians she met seemed so much happier than her secular friends and family.<br />
Before she could steel, Welch realized a kind of friendships with church members began to flourish, especially with Alice (as many people in the book, not her real name), another member of the church singles group that attended Welch.<br />
Welch also noted that she really moved by some of the sermons and hymns. During the singing of &#8220;Have Thine Own Way &#8216;,&#8217; emotion began to surge in me. It was the first in which I was overcome by what I eventually came to think as Feeling X.&#8221;<br />
Welch was not sure how to put words in X Feeling. &#8220;The closest I felt it was a kind of vertigo &#8230; limitlessness, a sudden permeability, a sense of connectedness with all living things around me, with all the time and space. It was a kind of instant physical concept of infinity, and if a little confusing, it still felt good. &#8221;<br />
In the singles group traveled to Alaska, hoping to at least 100 people convert to Christianity far, Welch made the trip, the calculation is she special insights during such an intense time with the evangelists Falwell. The members of the group of singles come across as spiritual, but sincerely and deeply flawed men and women &#8211; not so very different in many respects from non-Christians, but certainly live in a world of faith that condemns homosexuality, the consumption of alcohol, for sex marriage, abortion and it seems too much training. (Welch feels disapproval when her undergraduate studies at Yale University, graduating class of 2001, is known.)<br />
Welch&#8217;s mother, resolutely non-Christian, worried about whether her daughter would be caught in a cult-like atmosphere. Welch&#8217;s mother eventually traveled to Virginia to accompany the author to Thomas Road Baptist Church, the birth of one of the many memorable scenes in the book line. Welch separates the church during a stay at home writing the book, then returns to Lynchburg for her undercover mission reveal face to face, a mission that understand made her feel sick.<br />
The book is a sometimes glib, sometimes searching memoirs about the complexity of religious belief. Welch is a combination of thoughtful, funny, self-mockery and an experienced stylist. As an agnostic who often attend mainstream evangelical churches, I am glad I joined her on her trip &#8211; as a reader.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now the celebrities are paired with professional dancers, we can begin to make predictions for the 10th season of Dancing With the Stars.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zadanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/dancing_with_the_stars.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15256" title="dancing_with_the_stars" src="http://www.zadanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/dancing_with_the_stars.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Perennial champ Cheryl Burke looks like a contender with flashy NFL star Chad Ochocinco &#8211; an athletic partner should make to her saddled with Tom DeLay last year. Of course they will have her hands full just keeping his ego in check.</p>
<p>Tony dovolání has a chance to return to the finals with the reality star Kate Gosselin, whose popularity with the voting population should serve her well, assuming they can keep. Running around after her eight children on her feet quickly, right?</p>
<p>Dear friends and fierce competitors Mark Ballas and Derek Hough could go either way with their partners, Shannen Doherty and Nicole Scherzinger, respectively. The Pussycat Doll dance experience, but will probably not appeal to female voters. Doherty has many female fans of her Beverly Hills, 90,210 days &#8211; but just as many opponents of the I Hate Brenda Club.</p>
<p>Olympic figure skating champion Evan Lysacek has a lot going for him, but is a bit handicapped by his partner, Anna Trebunskaya, not known for her choreography and her coaching skills.</p>
<p>And the rest:</p>
<p>The bubbly Chelsie Hightower is a good match for Bachelor Jake Pavelka, but whether he can more than the Texas Two-Step remains to be seen.</p>
<p>Edyta Sliwinska keeps drawing the short straw with random strangers like Aiden Turner. Should not her DWTS veteran status they deserve an athlete or a Donny Osmond once in a while?</p>
<p>Ashly Costa (formerly DelGrosso) shows that after a long absence in a team with the legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin.</p>
<p>Beginner Damian Whitewood has the pleasure of the company&#8217;s Pam Anderson, but probably not for long.</p>
<p>Bad boy Maksim Chmerkovskiy scandal-plagued teams in the ESPN host Erin Andrews. Karina not in sight this season.</p>
<p>And Louis Van Amstel, who transformed Kelly Osbourne last season, will try to bring it back to the last four with comedian Niecy Nash.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why, yes! Yes, it is a great day, Dr.. Seuss was born today!</p>
<p>Who has not read the Shenanigans of the Cat in the Hat or Sam-I-am with his green eggs and ham? Mulberry Street? Been there. Implement the zoo? Done. I bet most of you know everything about the Sneetches and the Lorax, right? But what do you know about the man behind the pen?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zadanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Seuss1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15253" title="Seuss1" src="http://www.zadanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Seuss1.jpg" alt="" width="272" height="336" /></a><br />
Theodor Seuss Geisel, the beloved writer and artist was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. While his best pen name was Dr. approved. Seuss, he also wrote under the guise of Theo LeSieg (Geisel backwards, in case you missed it). He began his career as a writer, while in Dartmouth, writing for the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern, the college humor magazine. &#8221;Dr. Seuss&#8217; first appeared six months after graduating in the courts.</p>
<p>The Second World War changed his focus to the political arena. As the editorial cartoonist for the left-wing New York newspaper, PM, drew more than 400 cartoons in two years. In 1942 he was making posters for the Ministry of Finance and the War Production Board. Joining the United States Army Air Forces in 1943 he served as commander of the Animation Dept of the First Motion Picture Unit.</p>
<p>After the war, the &#8220;doctor&#8221; moved to California with the woman. After Life magazine ran a story about illiteracy among school children in May 1954, a model editor compiled a list of 348 words he felt all first-graders and asked to recognize a book by Theodor only 250 of these words to write. Nine months and 236 words later (the cat and the hat and an American icon) was born.</p>
<p>Geisel never had children. He was quoted, &#8221; &#8216;You have&#8217; em, I&#8217;ll entertain &#8216;em. &#8221;He has never earned a doctorate.</p>
<p>Never mind, my dear Dr.. Seuss &#8211;</p>
<p>She had a shoeful of children, and I love you more than that stupid Mother Goose!<br />

<p>Texans celebrate today in a variety of ways. The website &#8220;Celebrate Texas&#8221; includes several events are held for Texas Independence Day 2010.</p>
<p>Today is Primary Day in Texas, with Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson faced off with Governor Rick Perry Governor of Texas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste">Toxicology tests will determine whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the death of Marie Osmond&#8217;s 18-year-old son, who police said jumped to his death from a downtown apartment building, a coroner&#8217;s official said Monday.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Michael Blosil left a suicide note before he leaped from the eighth floor of the building on Friday night, said police Lt. Paul Vernon.</div>
<div><a href="http://www.zadanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/marie-osmand.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15238" title="marie osmand" src="http://www.zadanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/marie-osmand.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="315" /></a></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Vernon said he did not have details of the note</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">&#8220;It was fairly obvious this appeared to be a suicide, based upon witness statements,&#8221; he said.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Coroner&#8217;s officials were investigating the case as a suicide, but an autopsy conducted Sunday did not officially determine the cause of death pending the results of toxicology tests, which could take up to two months, said Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">&#8220;He fell to his death from a balcony, eight stories,&#8221; Winter said, but officials &#8220;just want to make sure that he wasn&#8217;t drunk or something and walked out of his balcony and fell.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">&#8220;Is it an accident or is it a suicide?&#8221; Winter asked. &#8220;We just want to make sure that there&#8217;s nothing that we missed.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Blosil was a first-year student of apparel manufacturing at the Fashion Institute of Design &amp; Merchandising, said college spokeswoman Shirley Wilson. A floral memorial was placed in the school&#8217;s rotunda in his honor.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Blosil and other students lived at the Metropolitan apartments on Flower Street, Wilson said.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The complex, known as &#8220;The Met,&#8221; has a 24-hour doorman and a balcony for every apartment, along with a spa, pool and other luxuries.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Details of Blosil&#8217;s death were not immediately released, but Vernon said there was no indication that he had been attending a party or other event where he might have been drinking.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">There have been conflicting reports about whether Blosil may have struggled with depression. Vernon said he did not have any information.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">&#8220;He&#8217;s dealing with a lot of issues,&#8221; she told CNN&#8217;s Larry King at the time. &#8220;I don&#8217;t feel comfortable talking for him. I think he&#8217;ll have to deal with that.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Osmond did say one of the issues troubling him was the fact that he was adopted.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">&#8220;He is the most amazing kid &#8230;,&#8221; she added before beginning to cry.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Osmond herself has struggled with depression over the years, as she disclosed in her 2001 book, &#8220;Behind the Smile: My Journey Out of Postpartum Depression.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Blosil was one of Osmond&#8217;s five adopted children. She also has three other children from two marriages. Osmond divorced Brian Blosil in 2007 after two decades of marriage. She and her first husband, Stephen Craig, divorced in 1985.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">In a statement after his death, Osmond said she and her family were in shock. Her publicist declined to provide any additional comment from Osmond on Monday.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Osmond earned fame at age 13 with the hit song &#8220;Paper Roses,&#8221; and starred with her brother, Donny, on television&#8217;s &#8220;Donny and Marie Show&#8221; during the 1970s.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The siblings perform a musical variety show regularly at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. The hotel said the shows were canceled over the weekend and performances would resume on March 9.</div>
