Mainstream media has been covering oil in some form or fashion nonstop for weeks. Stories abound over high gasoline prices, oil industry subsidies, and oil drilling. And in spite of all of this coverage and numerous speeches, it is unclear where the Obama Administration stands on the issues.
While on the campaign trail in 2008, Obama told us that he would continue the ban that was in place on new offshore drilling projects in American waters. A year after taking office, he reversed this position and opened up 500,000 square miles of water for oil drilling. Less than a month after opening up these waters, disaster struck as BP's Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and sank, causing millions of gallons of oil to leak into the Gulf of Mexico. After this tragedy, the Obama Administration put a moratorium in place to stop new leases on offshore drilling, going back to his original campaign promise.
Unfortunately, just a year later, the administration has apparently forgotten the lessons we learned after BP's blowout, as this week they announced that they are not only in favor of opening up more waters for drilling, but are also planning on opening up areas of Alaska for the oil companies to plunder.
So I ask – which Obama do we trust? Campaign Obama? Post-election Obama? Post-BP Obama? Or present-day Obama?
It is incredibly naïve to take any politician for their word during a campaign, and I'll even go as far as to admit that viewing the issues from outside of Washington may not grant the full picture of the issue, but all of the available research tells us that even if we were to open up every available inch of land for oil drilling, it would do nothing to get us off our foreign oil addiction, or reduce the prices we're paying at the pump.
The oil-loving Bush Administration actually did a wonderful job proving how little the impact would be if we opened up the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for oil drilling. According to their own estimates, the oil would take about a decade or more before it even reached the market, and at that point might bring the price of oil down by about 50 cents per barrel at its peak. That translates to a reduction of about 1 to 3 cents less per gallon of gasoline at the pump. They estimated that there are roughly 10 billion barrels of oil in the wildlife refuge, and since the US consumes 6.6 billion barrels a year, despoiling that wild public treasure would only supply enough oil to completely fuel the United States (no imports or other sources) for about a year and a half. After that, the well is completely dry.
The Gulf of Mexico oil reserves don't offer much to get excited about either. According to the U.S. Minerals Management Service, the best estimates say that there could be as much as 20 billion barrels of oil in the Gulf (again, at best.) This means that the Gulf could fully supply America for maybe 3 years, if the estimates are correct.
The facts tell it all – the only group that will benefit from increased oil drilling in America is the oil industry. Those of us who aren't a part of that club will see absolutely no benefit from increased domestic drilling.
But while Americans have been rightly focused on the fact that oil companies are reaping billions of dollars in subsidies from the federal government every year, they've turned a deaf ear to the issue of drilling. The U.S. Senate narrowly defeated a measure this week to expand drilling, but with our president pushing for more, and a Republican-controlled Congress pushing even harder, the very leaders who should be working to kick America's dirty and deadly oil habit are instead solidifying our addiction.

The man who was on Good
The man who was on Good Morning America today stated that if he runs for Presidency in 2012 his main focus is the Economy, not the environment!! It blew my mind to think that, it is the environment that makes the world go 'round - literally…

That's has an easy answer:
A politicians job is to do what has to be done for the good of their country. Having to take every aspect and nuance into account that changes over time. Selling the fact that somethings have to happen is a political skill. Sometimes they have a difficult sell with bitter medicine.
They may have their party views but a good politician will do what's needed when it's needed.
Good on the man. He's looking after our best interests.
So the easy answer is: "Don't trust what any politician says". But it goes a lot deeper than that.

Nothing new here. Obama is
Nothing new here. Obama is widely regarded as Bush's third term for a long litany of obvious reasons. US presidents have always been merely spokesmodels for corporations. It is a one party state, with rotating spokesmodels. Here in Alberta, we don't even bother with the facade of other political parties, since Big Oil is the only party that matters.
Destroying the environment is never for "the greater good". What a croc.

The Gareth Pugh fall 2013 collection was expected to be edgy and the designer definitely met these expectations putting futuristic vibes back into the spotlight. Of course, when we're talking about Gareth Pugh, these definitions are redefined constantly, especially since in terms of tailoring and proportions adopted, the new alternatives feel almost couture. This time, the designer has let all the focus fall on the pieces themselves rather than the looks as a whole. It would be hard to decode the source of inspiration behind the new Gareth P...

Utilization of COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) products is now almost a bylaw of government and military design projects and is becoming of increasing interest in commercial designs, as well. Optical systems are no exception; the use of stock optics can provide tremendous advantages in terms of reduced cost and development effort. The key is finding the most appropriate way of employing stock optics in a custom design.
The obvious benefit of using COTS products is reduced cost. Volume production yields reduced unit cost, especially in optical components. Using a stock product avoids setup fees and tooling costs that can make a custom optic as much as ten times more expensive in small quantities. Further, that differential only begins declining when production volume reaches 1000 pieces, a quantity seldom reached in high-end optical system manufacturing.
Stock optics can also help reduce design and development time because they are readily available. Rather than waiting months for a custom optic to arrive before assembling a prototype to begin testing, designers can obtain stock optics overnight. This high availability also provides benefits during final production by eliminating the need to maintain an expensive in-house inventory. Because vendors seldom discontinue or alter their stock optics, supply issues seldom arise.
Custom vs. Stock
There are drawbacks to using stock optics in certain situations, however. Stock optics work best when the optical system is relatively slow and paraxial in its design requirements. An optical speed of f/8 or higher with a field angle of 15° or less are easy to obtain using only stock components. When seeking lower f/#, though, the ability to customize the exact curvature, composition, and coatings of lenses may prove more efficient than restricting a design to using only stock optical components. Despite the vast range of stock components available, there may not be a precise match to the design's needs. Any mismatches will compound the need for making design iterations in order to optimize performance. When performance needs are extremely demanding, then, custom optics may provide the fastest route to final design despite the wait for initial delivery.
Custom optics may also be necessary when the optical system must meet tight size and weight constraints. While a design composed of stock optics may be able to achieve the same performance as one using custom components, the stock design may involve multiple lenses and a longer optical path to achieve the equivalent performance of a single custom lens. When size and weight are critical, then, custom optics may be essential.
Often a system that will employ custom optics in the final design, however, will want a stock component solution for the early stages of development where availability and low cost are critical. A development team might, for instance, need to create a demonstration or proof-of-principle prototype in order to obtain funding for full product development. A prototype optical element may also be needed in order to support the development and evaluation of other system elements before establishing definitive final optical performance requirements. Custom optics can quickly become prohibitively expensive when there are many design iterations involved.

After three days of sessions at Google I/O in San Francisco, I headed south to San Mateo to catch an even larger meeting of creative minds: the Bay Area Maker Faire. Hardware hackers, inventors, open-source enthusiasts, and creators of all manner of DIY hardware and software were on hand, and there was a line of people waiting to see them that wrapped around the San Mateo County Events Center's parking lot well before the gates opened at 10am on a Saturday morning.
With only a few hours to hit the highlights before my flight, I took an express tour of Maker Faire to find products and projects that represent the collision of DIY and IT best. Aside from Arduino's big presence on the exhibition floor, the biggest growth industry on hand was the group of computer-driven manufacturing tools makers, who are bringing computer-aided design into the real world. Based on some of the projects I saw, DIY computing projects are going to even greater heights—and into orbit.

The Kähler identities (sometimes known as the Hodge identities) are an important collection of relationships between operators on the exterior algebra of a Kähler manifold. These relationships generalise to hermitian manifolds, sections of hermitian holomorphic vector bundles, and many other situations.
I know that the notion of a Kähler metric was introduced by Kähler himself in 1933 and that the Kähler identities were first generalised to hermitian manifolds by Demailly in 1985 (although he mentions that the ideas were present in a paper by Griffiths in 1966).
Can anyone fill in the historical gap and tell me where or when the Kähler identities first appeared?

Forget toothpicks when you're in tiny food territory. The Scoop, Stab and Spread set is a much more aesthetically pleasing way to consume appetisers.
The beechwood tools look like they'd be great for entertaining. Each set has six pieces — one solid and one slotted scoop, a one-pronged spear, a two-pronged fork and two spreaders. You probably don't even need to throw a party to use them, although hors d'oeuvre for one is a little depressing. [MoMA Store]

Super Bowl XLVIII: Russell Wilson great? Put a ring on it
NEW YORK — There's been volumes said about how a second ring Super Bowl XLVIII would change Peyton Manning's legacy. There's been much less about what a first one would mean for Russell Wilson.
Wilson, after all, is among seven quarterbacks who entered the NFL in the past three years and led teams the playoffs. He is in good company with Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, Nick Foles, Robert Griffin III and Andy Dalton.
MORE: Man who changed Vegas | Knockoff nation | Picks: SN's Iyer | Celebrities | Linemakers
In his second year with the Seattle Seahawks, Wilson is second in that group in playoff wins and get to a Super Bowl. Kaepernick did both first with the San Francisco 49ers. If Wilson helps his Seattle Seahawks beat Manning's Denver Broncos on Sunday, he will be second to none among the young guns.
The window is closing on Manning and New England Patriots star Tom Brady to win titles. It's opening for the next great QB to emerge. Luck, Newton and Kaepernick all could step into the void.
Wilson has the look and the opportunity now. He has the ideal blend of arm, athleticism and maturity. He also is aware of what winning would mean for his career.
"There's a difference between being good and being great and changing the game," Wilson said. "Peyton Manning changed the game in terms of the way he thinks, in terms of the way he processes things. Tom Brady, he's so clutch; people fear him when he steps on the field.

"I want to evolve to that. To be here in the second year is a good thing. I just have to keep going."
When compared his fellow young full-time starters since 2012, Wilson has the top passer rating at 100.6, highest completion percentage of 63.2 and highest average yards per attempt at 8.09. He has the second-most touchdown passes, 52, and second-fewest interceptions, 19.
His statistical profile not only trumps contemporaries, but it fits that of a Super Bowl-winning quarterback — see Manning, Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees.
When Wilson gets his Super Bowl ring that separation would become an exclamation.

Bitcoin to hit highest level EVER as with digital currency set to be worth £6,000 per coin
A SINGLE Bitcoin could be worth $6,000 (£4,524) by the end of the year as the cyber currency takes off, experts claim.
The value would represent a record high for the cryptocurrency which rose more than 74 per cent in the third quarter.
Gatecoin's Thomas Glucksmann said: "Throughout the year we've been predicting the bitcoin price will surpass $5,000 and creep closer to $6,000 by year's end. That prediction is looking more in line with market sentiment these days."
Bitcoin was trading at $4,333 (£3,270) on Tuesday.
The cryptocurrency's predicted boost would see it jump 40 per cent as volatility continues following the dramatic struggles it has been through in the last three months.
The currency is wholly digital and completing anonymous with all transactions taking place online.
Bitcoin has struggled with its poor public image following high-profile arrests and its perception as the currency of drugs and guns on the "dark web".
As the underlying technology struggled to keep up with transactions the community split over disagreements on how to address the issue.
The split led to a new competitor to bitcoin being set up called bitcoin cash, but the new currency has struggled while the original has gone from strength to strength.
The currency shifted towards Japan which helped it grow, having previously struggled following a clampdown in China.
CryptoCompare CEO Charles Hayter said: "Bitcoin's biggest price catalyst is regulation. Japan has breathed life into the price and as the fog of uncertainty clears in other jurisdictions, clarity on regulation will release a break on the price."
The cryptocurrency has been able jump ship to Japan which has recently legalised bitcoin.
After a third-quarter rise, the digital cash was at its current record high of $5,013, boosted by regulatory support and interest from institutions in some markets.
It is not all plain sailing for the online money as expert Mr Glucksmann warned of more volatility to come as another possible split looms.

I would like to start today by addressing Issue the First. I am sorry. Please don't freak out. Every kid is different. Your kid will be okay because you are advocating for him or her. Keep an eye on said child and keep doing what you have been doing. Really. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and keep your eyes open. Keep putting one foot in front of the other.
As for the Asperger's program, everybody was all, "Asperger's program?! What the whut whut?!" It's like the time I was emailing with a parent in Los Angeles about a problem her kid was having and I suggested that maybe she talk to the school counselor and, via email, she managed to convey incredulous laughter because, hello, LAUSD. They don't have, you know, things there. Oh, and fuck you, you and your Montgomery County, Maryland choices.
One day I will think before I type. One day. Probably not today.
In other news, I had another IEP meeting today, but this one was for Quinn. He has an IEP because he's been getting OT services for a couple of years. Today he graduated. It felt a little weird for them to take away his disability code and for me to be okay with it. It was the right thing to do, weird pencil grip notwithstanding, but I felt like I should upend a table and start yelling about services for my baby. What I did was stand up, say thank you, and then went home. There's something to be said for 15 minute meetings.
The other result of today's meeting is that I do not have any more IEP meetings this year. Thank God. In fact, I might refuse to discuss special education for the next five weeks just on general principle.
That, at least, would prevent me from scaring all of you to death. You are welcome.
Thank you so much to Cheetah contributors the Paulsons! It's not too late to donate and it is certainly not too late to come to the Cheetah-thon on Saturday from 5-7 pm at the Rockville Ice Arena. You guys, it's going to be so much fun and there will be raffles for fantastic prizes and fun skating and great families and we are going to have such a blast!

Etihad Airways looks to expand in Russia
Etihad Airways is celebrating four years of its non-stop service between Moscow and Abu Dhabi. The UAE flag carrier commenced operations to the Russian capital on December 1, 2008, and since then has carried almost 250,000 travellers and 620 tons of cargo on the route.
Five weekly flights became a daily service in 2009, and load factors have increased in each year of operation.
James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said: "The UAE is home to almost 25,000 Russians and 400 Russia-UAE joint venture companies, and as a result, the business and cultural ties between the two countries have never been stronger.
"Moscow-Abu Dhabi has been a tremendous success with strong load factor and good traffic feeds from our codeshare partner, S7 Airlines. The aim now is to expand services and connectivity over both Abu Dhabi and Moscow with S7.
Etihad Airways codeshares on S7 operated services from Moscow to the Russian cities of Kazan (KZN), Samara (KUF), Krasnodar (KRR) and Saint Petersburg (LED).
S7 codeshares on Etihad Airways' daily Moscow-Abu Dhabi service and onwards to Bangkok. Subject to receiving necessary government approvals, the next phase of Etihad Airways' partnership with S7 will see the Russian carrier's flight code placed on Etihad Airways' flights to Sydney and Melbourne. Mr Hogan cited that additional expansion opportunities are also being actively evaluated.
Etihad Airways operates a two-cabin Airbus A320 aircraft between Abu Dhabi and Moscow. This configuration means 1,904 seats a week – 224 in Pearl Business, and 1,680 in Coral Economy.
Guests travelling from Moscow in Pearl Business have access to Etihad Airways' premium complementary door-to-door luxury limousine service, complete with a personal chauffeur (within the Moscow MKAD Ring Road to and from the airport).
In recent times Etihad Airways has also made it easier for Russian nationals to obtain a UAE visiting visa, through the TT Services online visa application centre.
Mr Hogan concluded: "We remain committed to building the Etihad Airways brand in the Russian market, offering customers great choice, connectivity, and value from what is one of the growing destinations on our network.
"By year end, Etihad Airways will be a US$5 billion business, we'll have carried more 10 million passengers across our global network, and have 1.8 million Etihad Guest loyalty members.
"All this will have been achieved despite a still fragile global economy, and at times, challenging operating conditions.
"Working closely with S7 Airlines, our Russian partners, the travel industry, the business community and governments, we look forward to further cementing the Etihad Airways brand across Russia and deepening the already strong relationship between Russia and the United Arab Emirates."

'Wealth Effect' Drives Vacation-Home Sales
Stock Rally, Real-Estate Rebound Boost Market for Second Houses
Sales of vacation homes are surging again, the result of rising wealth in higher-income households and renewed confidence in the housing market.
The number of second homes acquired for part-time personal use jumped 30% last year to 717,000 homes, according to an annual survey by the National Association of Realtors. The gain was the largest since the association started tracking second-home sales in 2003.

AMERICUS – Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricanes took on fellow Division II opponent Albany State on Friday afternoon at the newly renovated Lady 'Cane Field in a doubleheader. The Lady 'Canes only faced three runs against them during the course of both games. The Lady 'Canes swept the series on Valentine's Day.
Albany State came out in the first inning ready to go. After Domonique Bryant reached base, Chelsea Hicks brought her home with a double to right center. The Lady 'Canes came back with an answer in the bottom of the first, senior Hayley Knight stole second, advanced to third then on a throwing error made it home.
The score remained 1-1 until the bottom of the 7th inning when GSW's Kiley Doster made it home after a single was hit by Rachel McElroy.
Ashley Cavender took the win for GSW after pitching all seven innings and facing 28 batters. Cavender only allowed one run, five hits, and two walks. Cavender struck out six.

Georgia Southwestern came out hot in the bottom of the first. Runs were accomplished by Mason Moreland, Knight, Nellie Moore, Rachel McElroy, Jordan Miller, Tompkins. Again in the third inning, Miller was able to score after being batted in by Thrasher.
Over the fourth and fifth inning Albany State's Hicks and Toni Coleman were able to make it home. Coleman is the only player in the series to hit a home run.
The efforts were a little too late by Albany State as the Lady 'Canes held on to the lead to finish early in the seventh inning. GSW took the win.
Allison Pastor took the win after pitching in seven innings, and only allowing four hits and two runs. Pastor struck out four of the 27 batters faced.

Across-the-board spending cuts all but certain, Republicans and Democrats in the Senate are staging a politically charged showdown designed to avoid public blame for any resulting inconvenience or disruption in government services.
The two parties drafted alternative measures to replace the cuts, but officials conceded in advance the rival measures were doomed.
At the White House, President Barack Obama invited congressional leaders to discuss the issue with him on Friday — deadline day for averting the cuts, which would slash $85 billion from the military and domestic programs alike.
Democrats controlling the Senate are pushing a $110 billion plan that would block the cuts through the end of the year. They would carve 5 percent from domestic agencies and 8 percent from the Pentagon but would leave several major programs alone, including Social Security, Medicaid and food stamps, while limiting the cuts to Medicare to a 2 percent reduction to health care providers like doctors and hospitals.
The Democratic plan proposes $27.5 billion in future-year cuts in defense spending, elimination of a program of direct payments to certain farmers, and a minimum tax rate on income exceeding $1 million as the main elements of an alternative to the immediate and bruising automatic cuts, known in Washington-speak as a "sequester."
Republicans were sure to kill the Democratic alternative with a filibuster. They were poised to offer an alternative of their own that would give Obama the authority to propose a rewrite to the 2013 budget to redistribute the cuts. Obama would be unable to cut defense by more than the $43 billion reduction that the Pentagon faces and would be unable to raise taxes to undo the cuts.
The idea is that money could be transferred from lower-priority accounts to accounts funding air traffic control or meat inspection. The White House says such moves would offer only slight relief, but they could take pressure off Congress to address the sequester.
Democrats are sure to vote the GOP measure down. Both the House and the Senate are set to send their members home Thursday afternoon, even as the deadline to avoid the cuts looms the next day. Though bound to fail, the rival votes will allow both sides to claim they tried to address the cuts even as they leave them in place and exit Washington for a long weekend.
Obama on Wednesday summoned top congressional leaders for a White House meeting on Friday. Given longstanding, intractable differences over Obama's insistence that new tax revenues help replace the cuts, the meeting was not expected to produce a breakthrough.
Another topic for Friday's discussion is how to avoid Washington's next crisis, which threatens a government shutdown after March 27, when a six-month spending bill enacted last year expires.
Republicans are planning for a vote next week on a bill to fund the day-to-day operations of the government through the Sept. 30 end of the 2013 fiscal year, while keeping in place the $85 billion in automatic cuts.
The need to keep the government's doors open and lights on — or else suffer the first government shutdown since 1996 — requires the GOP-dominated House and the Democratic-controlled Senate to agree. Right now they hardly see eye to eye.
The House GOP plan, unveiled to the rank and file Wednesday, would award the Pentagon and the Veterans Affairs Department with their line-by-line budgets, for a more-targeted rather than indiscriminate batch of military cuts.
But it would deny domestic agencies the same treatment, which has whipped up opposition from veteran Democratic senators on the Appropriations Committee. Domestic agencies would see their budgets frozen, which would mean no money for new initiatives such as cybersecurity or for routine increases for programs such as low-income housing.
"We're not going to do that," said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa. "Of course not."

"Die Stimmung ist im Arsch," Jürgen Klopp had said during the week, with reference to a raft of injury and sickness problems. (Literal translation: the mood's in the bum). This typically robust choice of words posed an interesting linguistic conundrum for the Borussia Dortmund manager after the 4-1 home defeat against Hamburger SV on Saturday. Could he go any lower, or deeper, still? Klopp, though, was smart enough to realise that negative superlatives are best to be avoided, so he changed tack. Backsides were out, philosophical musings, by way of some heavy sarcasm was in. "I have noted directly after the match that life does indeed goes on," said the 45-year-old, through gritted teeth.
It was Dortmund's heaviest home defeat since a 5-1 loss inflicted by Bayern in 2009. It was also the match that saw the champions relinquish their title for good. A whopping 15-point deficit now separates them from the Bavarians, which will be just about impossible to make up. What's more, the manner of the result posed a few uncomfortable questions about the club's transfer policy. In the last couple of years Dortmund could do no wrong in that respect but their latest move – bringing back Nuri Sahin – has suddenly looked a little less clever. To be sure, the 24-year-old will be a huge asset in future months. He knows Klopp's system and increases the options in central midfield. In hindsight, however, buying another full-back and striker, as the club had initially planned to do in the January break, might have been a more prudent option.
Sven Bender had a terrible time as a makeshift left-back. Marcel Schmelzer was out with flu, as was his back-up Kevin Grosskreutz. He'll also miss the trip to Shakhtar Donetsk for Wednesday's Champions League match. The right-back Lukasz Piszczek was also well below par after missing plenty of training. In between them Mats Hummels had a veritable nightmare. Sahin, making his first start since his return, looked short on match-fitness and confidence in the centre. Ilkay Gündogan was sadly missed; the 22-year-old had been in outstanding form in recent weeks. Gündogan has thigh and toe issues but should be back in action at the Donbass Arena. That game has become a lot more important for Dortmund. Losing the title after back-to-back wins was always likely and doesn't really impact on their strategy to grow as a club. But a failure to go deeper in the Champions League – coupled with a cup defeat by Bayern in 10 days' time – would amount to Klopp's first real set-back.
On the domestic front, the next couple of weeks will provide a chilling snap-shot of a not too distant future without Robert Lewandowski. The Poland forward, scorer of the opener, was sent off for a reckless foul on Per Ciljan Skjelbred on 31 minutes, when Hamburg were 2-1 up after goals from Son Heung-min and Artjoms Rudnevs. Rafael van der Vaart later admitted to making "a bit of drama" to sway the referee Manuel Gräfe. The admission prompted an angry response from Klopp ("that's the worst thing I've ever heard") but it's impossible to say whether Gräfe would have been more lenient without Van der Vaart's intervention.
In any case, the decision disrupted Dortmund's rhythm. "We lost our calmness," Klopp said. Jeffrey Bruma saw red for a late tackle but Dortmund conceded twice more. First Rudnevs then Son each completed their brace after some defensive lapses.
Hamburg, it should be said, played with the kind of courage and aggression that has hardly been seen from them this season. They were well worth the win. But this was Dortmund's defeat, first and foremost, their third one at home in this campaign. "We are not used to that, we can't play like that," said Sebastian Kehl. The Dortmund skipper warned about a dangerous trend. "To concede six times in two games is heavy," he said. "We need to talk about that." The Black and Yellows' "against" column now reads 26 – one more than at the end of last season.
Dortmund do have more depth this year. And in Marco Reus, they have signed an outstanding talent that has made their attacking play even more thrilling. But their weakness has remained the same. They are still an all or nothing team: devastatingly good when their collective pressing game is executed to Klopp's exacting standards, vulnerable to getting caught when it isn't. "We were much too open, there was space everywhere," said Kehl.
One can expect Dortmund to get it right again against Donetsk in the Champions League. In the Bundesliga, however, Dortmund will do well to hold on to second spot. Julian Schieber, the only other striker on the books, is not in the same league as Lewandowski. There's a chance Klopp might actually do away with the position altogether in the main man's absence. Pep Guardiola will be watching with interest.
Talking points
• All the Lewandowski gossip nearly put a dampener on what was otherwise the perfect weekend for Bayern. "The club needs to make its position clear," demanded the striker Mario Gómez after the embarrassingly easy 4-0 win over Schalke. The 27-year-old insisted he wasn't afraid of anybody but he's clearly vexed about the speculation "Lewy" might be heading to Bayern. Lothar Matthäus added fuel to the fire by stating he had been told the deal was done "from a top source" in Paris, where Germany played France in midweek. The Bayern president, Uli Hoeness, who has remained suspiciously tight-lipped about these rumours, couldn't let this one go unanswered. "Lothar has been very busy with women in recent times," he snapped, "maybe he is after prey now." It didn't make much more sense in German, to be fair. Suffice to say that it was meant as a bad put down.
• On the pitch, however, a team of kindergarten mascots might have caused Bayern more trouble than Schalke. Jens Keller's sorry excuse for a team arrived in Munich with one aim: let's not concede double-figures. Bild saw "a public training exercise in front of 70,000" on Saturday night, as the hosts continued their unbelievable run. They magnanimously stopped at four goals but are yet to drop a point and to concede a goal in 2013. Gómez and Arjen Robben were handed their first starts since the winter break. Jupp Heynckes needs to keep everyone happy. "The manager has an ass in his trousers," said Gómez admiringly, "not many would have played me today [after Mario Mandzukic's strong start]". Schalke's players were reluctant to pay similar compliments to Keller, who is sleepwalking to his inevitable dismissal, engulfed in a fog of melancholy. Relief for everyone concerned will surely come after next week's trip to Mainz.
• Things aren't looking much better for Bruno Labbadia. The Stuttgart manager has been upstaged by Keller's more voluminous, silky salt-and-pepper number in the hairdo stakes, and Saturday's 4-1 defeat by Werder at home made it five losses on the trot for the Swabians. As Süddeutsche Zeitung noted, winter often equals crisis time at the VfB but this year, the situation is more complicated than usual: Labbadia just extended his contract a couple of weeks ago. The only thing stopping another full-blown fan-revolt is a disagreement about the causes of the latest malaise. Some point at Labbadia, some at the board's frugality in the transfer market, some at the sporting director, Fredi Bobic.
• "The Bundesliga is a little crazy," said the Borussia Mönchengladbach coach, Lucien Favre. Only a little? Third-placed Bayer Leverkusen drawing 3-3 at Gladbach was Germanic madness at its best, a smorgasbord of wonderful attacking football – from Leverkusen – and awful defending, also from Leverkusen. Afterwards, no one could quite figure out how the result had came about. "They didn't have a chance, I don't know what to say," said Stefan Kiessling. "That's the fascination of football, in a negative sense," mused Rudi Völler. One possible explanation for the unlikely stalemate might be found in the wildly diverging levels of efficiency: Gladbach conjured up three goals from nothing whereas the much more fluid visitors should have run away with it.
Results: Augsburg 1-1 Mainz, Freiburg 1-0 Düsseldorf, Bayern Munich 4-0 Schalke, Borussia Dortmund 1-4 Hamburg, Borussia M'gladbach 3-3 Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 Nuremberg, Greuther Fürth 0-1 Wolfsburg, Hannover 1-0 Hoffenheim, Stuttgart 1-4 Werder Bremen.

Show: Angel Sanchez
When: Sept. 10
Fashion: Dresses, tops and skirts in whites, blacks, blues and yellows with geometric cuts. Stone embellishments and cut-outs created 3-D effect on these feminine looks with a modern edge. Simply GORGEOUS and unique pieces made for special occasions.
"The inspiration started with the art of Rafael Barrios. He did an exhibition and I loved the geometric elements. But it's still very ethereal, very light. I've always done geometric in my designs, but my idea for this collection was to get the balance between something feminine and play with the precise lines. I invited Rafael to develop the accessories for the show." —Angel Sanchez

What we believe
The Bible
The 66 books of the Bible are inspired in every Word by God. The Holy Spirit used some 39 men of God to put it into writing without error or contradiction. It is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:20-21, Psalm 119:105
God is the creator and ruler of His universe. He is all knowing, all powerful, and everywhere present. He has eternally existed in three distinct personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These are co-equal and comprise the one and only true God.
Genesis 1:1, Psalm 90:2, Matthew 28:19
God the Father
The first person of the Godhead, He is calling out a people to belong to Him and worship and serve Him forever. He is the initiator of the plan of salvation, eternal and unconditional in His love for us, and the final judge of all men.
Genesis 1:27, I Peter 1:2, II Corinthians 13:14
Jesus Christ
He is the very Son of God, the unique God-man. He received His human body through the virgin birth and lived a sinless life. Jesus died on the cross to pay the complete price of the sins of all mankind and arose from the dead. He now intercedes in heaven for the saved on earth.
Isaiah 9:6, John 14:1-6, I Corinthians 15:3-4
The Holy Spirit
The third person of the Godhead convicts the lost of sin and gives new life to those who come to Christ. He indwells the new believer at the moment of salvation. For the believer, He offers the power to live the Christian life, teaching them the truth of God's word. We believe that the sign gifts of First Corinthians 12 were temporary and are not needed today since we have the completed Word of God.
I Corinthians 12:13, Ephesians 5:18, John 16:7-13
Man was created in the image of God and possesses body, soul, and spirit. Through disobedience, man fell into sin, and this separates man from God which causes spiritual death, physical death, and ultimately eternal death. Man is helpless in any way to save himself from the consequences of sin.
Genesis 1:27, Isaiah 53:6, Romans 6:23
He is a real person and was originally the highest angel. Through pride, he became the author of sin, the father of lies and the devil. His primary task is to destroy mankind in Hell and render Christians ineffective. He has been defeated at the cross of Calvary and will ultimately be cast into the Lake of Fire forever with all those whom he has taken captive.
Ezekiel 28:12-19, Matthew 4:1-11, I Peter 5:8-9
Salvation is a gift of God. It can never be earned or deserved. A person must repent of his or her sin and receive Christ as Lord and Savior to be placed into the family of God. Entrance into Heaven is gained by trusting Jesus Christ alone--there is no other way.
Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5, Acts 20:21
Life After Death
We believe in a literal heaven and hell. There is nothing between. At death, when the body and soul separate, the person who has placed faith in Jesus Christ is immediately in conscious state before the presence of God for all eternity. Likewise, at the moment of death, the unbeliever is in a conscious and eternal state of suffering in hell and ultimately the Lake of Fire. The decision to receive or reject Christ must be made before death.
Philippians 1:21-23, Acts 7:56-60, Luke 16:19-31
The Local Church
The "Body of Christ" which is composed of believers can only function on earth in the form of a visible, organized, local congregation. The job of the church is to reach the lost, make disciples of individuals, and to teach and instruct as He commanded. For one to be a true member of a church, he or she must first have put his or her faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 16:18, Revelation 2:1-3:22, Ephesians 2:19-22
Eternal Security
We believe that since man has nothing to do with obtaining salvation, he is not able to maintain it. Once you receive eternal life, you can never lose it. It is God who keeps us and not man holding on to God. A carnal, disobedient Christian will be chastened by the Lord, possibly even have his physical life cut short, but he can never lose his salvation.
John 10:28, I Corinthians 3:15, I John 5:16
The great commission given to the church is to preach the gospel to every person in every generation in every nation of the world. This task is the primary goal of the church and should lead to the on-going establishment of New Testament churches in every nation among every people.
Mark 16:15, Luke 24:47-48, Acts 1:8
The Future
We believe that Jesus will return for His church at a time known only by the Father. Immediately after His return, there will be seven years of Tribulation during which the Anti-Christ will control the world. Christ will then return with His church to fight the battle of Armageddon and establish 1000 years of peace. The millennium will close with fire burning up the earth. A new heaven and earth will be created where there will never again be sin. All the unbelievers will be cast into the Lake of Fire after standing before the great white throne of judgment, and the believers will live with God forever.
I Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 19:11-16, 20:11-15, 21:22
