Lippert's strong second half lifted the Crimson to an overtime win against Cornell (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's basketball team came away with a 69-60 overtime win versus Cornell Sunday afternoon thanks to timely free throw shooting and a strong defensive effort in the extra session. The Crimson went a combined 10-of-10 from the line in the final 1:07 of overtime and held Cornell to a 1-of-6 performance from the floor.
Victoria Lippert led the way for Harvard (13-6, 4-1 Ivy League) with 19 points, each of which came after halftime. The senior began the game shooting 0-of-4, but hit her first five shots of the second half to account for 13 of the Crimson's first 20 points. She added six more in overtime, including four from the free throw line.
Christine Clark scored 15 points and just missed a double-double with nine rebounds, while Temi Fagbenle added 12 points and six boards. Miriam Rutzen finished her day with eight points, seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks.
The Crimson shot just 39.3 percent for the game but went 18-of-23 at the charity stripe to compensate. Cornell (10-9, 2-3 Ivy League), meanwhile, shot 37.9 percent and was led by Allyson DiMagno's 20-point, 14-rebound effort.
Harvard is now 6-0 at home in 2012-13 and has won nine straight games at Lavietes Pavilion dating back to last year.
Harvard's defense stood strong early, holding Cornell to 1-of-6 shooting en route to a 9-2 advantage. The Crimson scored six points off turnovers during the stretch, including a nice fast break finish by Fagbenle off a feed from Rutzen. Clark moved the score to 14-8 with a three-pointer from the right wing, and then finished in the paint following an Elle Hagedorn steal to make it a 16-8 game.
The Crimson continued to pound the ball into the paint and took a 22-14 lead as Clark found Missy Mullins cutting to the basket. Fagbenle gave Harvard its first double-digit lead with a left-handed layup, 24-14, before a three from Ali Curtis pushed the margin to 13, 29-16. Cornell fought its way back into the game, however, closing out the half on a 7-0 run to make it a 29-23 contest at the break.
Clark and Fagbenle each had eight points at intermission on a combined 7-of-13 shooting. Fagbenle was also one of four Crimson to pull down four rebounds as Harvard held a 24-12 advantage on the glass and a 14-4 margin in points in the paint.
Cornell cut the lead to as few as three points coming out of the break, 32-29, before a pair of Lippert free throws and a layup in transition by Fagbenle extended the margin back out to seven, 36-29. A putback by Lippert made it a 38-30 game and Hagedorn pushed the Crimson's advantage back to double-figures at the line, 42-32, capping off a 10-3 stretch.
Five straight points from the Big Red pulled Cornell back within striking distance, 42-37, but Lippert hit jumpers on back-to-back possessions to end the drought. She later added a turnaround jumper to put the score at 49-42 with 7:35 remaining.
Cornell once again cut the lead to three points off baskets by Clare Fitzpatrick and DiMagno, 49-46, and then made it a two-point game with 2:32 to play thanks to a three from Shelby Lyman, 51-49. DiMagno tied the score for the first time since the 17:07 mark of the first half on the Big Red's next trip down the court, but Clark answered back with a strong drive to the basket for a 53-51 edge. Fitzpatrick evened it up once again on a layup with 25 seconds remaining, sending the teams into overtime.
Erin McDonnell opened the extra session with a jumper to put Harvard out in front, 55-53, and then grabbed an offensive rebound which led to a Lippert basket and a 57-54 advantage. The Crimson moved its lead to 59-54 with a baseline drive by Clark then proceeded to hit 10 straight free throws to close out the 69-60 victory.
Game Notes: Harvard remained unbeaten at home in 2012-13 and has won nine straight at Lavietes Pavilion since last season … Harvard is 2-1 in overtime games this year and 12-6 all-time under head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith … The Crimson improved to 37-0 against Cornell at home and is 57-11 in the all-time series.

Monkey makes a break for it at Colo. Springs zoo
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – Officials at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs say one of their newest tenants, a 7-year-old howler monkey named Eva, got a brief taste of freedom this weekend when she escaped her enclosure and climbed on top of the monkey pavilion.
Zoo spokeswoman Jenny Hillard tells The Gazette (http://bit.ly/13xD52y ) the small monkey escaped Saturday afternoon after pulling back some of the mesh of her enclosure. Visitors spotted Eva on the roof and pointed her out to zoo officials.
For about an hour, the sly little monkey snubbed efforts by staff to tempt her back into her enclosure with food. She was eventually captured with a net.
Hillard says Eva escaped through a space that staff didn't think she could get through.

Linda Ronstadt Discusses Struggle With Parkinson's
In a recent interview with ABC World News, Linda Ronstadt opened up about the way Parkinson's disease slowly crippled her ability to sing.
Sitting down with Diane Sawyer to discuss her new memoir, 'Simple Dreams,' Ronstadt described the disease's effects, saying it left her singing voice like an "elevator [that] would go to the wrong floor all the time." Looking back on the illness' steady encroachment, and guessing she may have been suffering from it for up to 15 years before she realized she was sick, she said, "It was hard to comb my hair. It was hard to brush my teeth. It was hard to wash my hair. Hard to get my hands up over my head."
As we previously reported, Ronstadt recently disclosed her diagnosis to AARP Magazine. Although she'd been struggling with various physical symptoms for some time, she remained unaware of her Parkinson's until very recently; in fact, 'Simple Dreams,' due Sept. 17, includes no mention of the illness, because she completed work on the book before doctors discovered the source of her problems.
Over the course of more than four decades as a professional singer, Ronstadt earned 11 Grammy Awards, two Academy of Country Music awards, an Emmy Award, an ALMA Award and a string of gold and platinum records that spun off 38 Billboard Hot 100 singles, including a No. 1 1975 hit 'You're No Good.'

Two explosions wounded at least four people at two Cairo metro stations during the morning rush hour on Wednesday, security sources said, highlighting some of the challenges faced by newly elected President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
Explosions hit Ghamra metro station in central Cairo and Shubra El-Kheyma, a northern district of Greater Cairo, according to state television and security sources.
Three people were wounded at Shubra, according to security sources, and one person at Ghamra, according to the television report.
An interior ministry official told a privately owned television channel that one person was wounded carrying a home-made bomb to Shubra El-Kheyma station. He added the Ghamra incident was caused by an explosion in a rubbish bin.
Egypt has been hit by a wave of violence, mainly attacks by Islamist militants based in the Sinai peninsula on security forces, since the army ousted Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in July following mass protests against him. Former army chief Sisi, who deposed Morsi, was sworn in as president after winning elections last month.
His supporters see him as a strongman who can save Egypt from chaos after more than three years of political and economic turmoil, following a 2011 revolt that swept veteran autocrat Hosni Mubarak from power.

Here is a character face that you may have seen before if you are a fan of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Today I will fill a request by showing you "how to draw The Moon" from the game. The Moon is a big part of Majora's Mask as you game players like myself know. If you remember correctly, It was Skull Kid who used the mask to redirect The Moon in a position to obliterate Termina. The idea for this lesson came to me after a conversation my brother and I had. We where talking about Majora's Mask and I was saying how I finally realized that The Moon was a real creepy character in the game. I mean, he was really dark and scary. His piercing eyes with that lifeless color of grey make his presence that much more awkward. Anyways, instead of keeping his color pale, I went ahead and added a two toned look while keeping that depressing flare. If you are a fan of Majora's Mask you will love this tut. Adios mi amigos.

Parents and children have launched a campaign to save a beloved lollipop man from getting the chop in Billericay.
Tom Dodd, 71, has been a regular fixture outside the gates at St Peter's Catholic Primary School, Billericay, for five and a half years.
But he could soon go after Essex County Council announced controversial moneysaving plans.
A Facebook group calling for him to be saved was set up on Friday, and within 24 hours it had the support of more than 170 parents. They are organising a petition to deliver to County Hall.
Mr Dodd patrols a zebra crossing on Southend Road before St Peter's opens and when the children leave. Louise Steel, 33, of Tyrone Road, is behind the campaign to stop him being axed.
She has witnessed a string of near misses on the 30mph stretch while dropping off and picking up children Jake, nine, and Oliver, seven.
[quote width="auto" align="none" border="#0066cc" color="#0066cc" title="Quoted by Mrs Steel"]It doesn't bear thinking about what could happen if Tom goes. Cars speed down the road and just don't stop at all. A lot of children cross the road, and once they get to Year 6 they want to start walking to school on their own. It just wouldn't be safe without Tom. He knows most of the children by name and they all love him. He was really upset when he first found out what could happen, and now he is amazed by how big this has got and how much support he has.[/quote]
Chris Nisbetts, chairman of the Friends of St Peter's School group, is dad to ten year-old Abbie, Isabelle, six and Nancy, three. He added: "We all want Tom to stay, and someone definitley needs to be on the crossing. Southend Road is the main route from Basildon to Billericay, so it can be really dangerous. If you have got a couple of kids to look after, it's hard to stop them running across the crossing."
He continued, "Tom doesn't just stop the traffic, he also stops pedestrians so he stops the road getting really congested. It would be a nightmare in the mornings without him there. There has been someone on the crossing since 2001, so what has changed? It is just as dangerous now as it has been for more than ten years."

Day thirteen: How'd you get your hair like that?
For for day thirteen of "How'd you get your hair like that?" I found a spry spring chicken named Leo, a recent San Jose State grad at a Rockies game.
Leo not only has an interesting hair styling routine, he has an interesting haircut philosophy. Interesting, passionate and investigative.
He's painfully specific about what he does during his self-proclaimed 'six-month hair cycle,' and how he goes about choosing the next master barber to handle his hair, which can broken down into three simple steps:
1). The ask around: Leo, a man about the town, asks friends and strangers with cool 'do's, well, how they got their hair like that. For example, one time, Leo really dug a friend's cut. "Dope quiff," Leo said to his friend. "Who'd you go to for that?" While Leo didn't want a quiff, he did want go to a barber who can murder a quiff.
2). Research: Once Leo's gotten a few suggestions under his belt, he hits the streets and gets in touch with some barbers. He asks them how long they've been cutting hair. If that barber has been cutting hair for at least 20 years, he's in the running. If not, Leo finds out who that barber learned to cut hair from. And then goes to the original source.
3). Taking hair of business: The process lasts about a week. And once he chooses a barber, he isn't just getting his haircut. He is choosing that specific barber's hair-cutting history. Leo believes that the haircut he is about to receive is the culmination of all of the cuts that barber has performed over his entire career. His hair gets cut, and then in six months, the cycle starts all over.
"I think I paid $12 [for my last haircut], and tipped $10." Leo waxes. "You can't put a price on excellence."

Stay tuned for day fourteen!

Systems and Methods Appraisal
BY GORDON L. MURRAY Partner, Chicago Office
Presented at the Southeastern Electric Exchange Accounting
Conference, Charleston, S. C. — October 1957
The growth in the public utility industry in recent years has been quite phenomenal. During the ten-year period of 1946-1956 one of your member companies shows an increase in gross revenues of almost 3 1/2 times and has 2 1/2 times more customers. Another company shows an increase in gross revenues of almost 3 times and has 2 2/3 more customers. Other indices of growth and other companies show a similar trend.
This growth pattern is one of the reasons the subject of systems-and-methods appraisal is of so much importance to public utilities today. Growth begets change, change begets problems, and problems require study and appraisal to arrive at solutions. This growth places strains on systems and methods which must be solved by adding more of what we have or adopting a significantly different approach.
Coupled with the need to take action to meet growth problems is the need for action to take advantage of the newer, more powerful methods and equipment now available. Therefore, while systems-and-methods appraisal is a desirable activity even without the growth problem, it becomes a mandatory
activity if the advantages of new developments are to be realized.
Company growth in terms of dollars of income, numbers of meters and customers, output in kilowatts, and other growth measures follow fairly consistent curves. The slopes of these curves change from time to time and vary from company to company. However, this type of change can be characterized by a curve.
The growth and development of systems within a company does not follow a curve but, rather, consists of a series of plateaus. A company adopts a class or type of system for a particular function and uses it, refines it, improves it, and then reaches a point when it is time to move to the next plateau and adopt a basically different method. Typically you see, first, a manual system supplemented with conventional calculators, adding machines, etc.; then NCR, Burroughs, and similar billing and book-keeping equipment; then punched-card systems, and on into electronic systems.
One type of systems-and-methods appraisal is represented by the

'Dancing With the Stars': Attack of the 10s, as judges give out perfect scores
Week 9 of "Dancing With the Stars" was on fire, with celebrities and their partners all-out in an explosion of dance styles. From an amazing Argentine tango by Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough that began with the pair in silhouette against a blood-red background, to a cool, cocky hip-hop by Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiy, the show had something to satisfy everyone.
Each of the five remaining couples vying to be part of the quartet going to the finals next week had two routines to do -- one that was familiar and one that was matched to them by the fans on Twitter. The Twitter selections included flamenco, Charleston and Afro-jazz, and the competitors took them on with gusto.
Two couples -- Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff, and Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas -- were tied at the top of the leaderboard by the end of the evening, only one point shy of a perfect total of 60. Jacoby and Karina first danced a sexy, tight Argentine tango on a small, lamp-lit dance floor. Head judge Len Goodman was right on target when he said, "The mood, the intensity. That ... Was ... Great!" And OMG, judge Carrie Ann Inaba asked for a kiss from Jacoby and then just went nuts at the judges' table. Host Tom Bergeron even stopped the judges' commentary to ask Jacoby's mom for her reaction. Their second dance was the Twitter-requested Lindy hop and was, as judge Bruno Tonioli put it, "a frantic frenzy of electricity," with all the smooth moves that Jacoby is becoming known for.
As for Aly and Mark, their rumba was sexy and sensual as they told a story. While they danced, you could have heard a pin drop but then the ballroom exploded into cheers and applause at the end. Carrie Ann screamed, "Aly, way to go! There was beauty, drama, lines, sensuality." It was no surprise that the pair received a perfect 30, their first. Their Twitter dance was Afro-jazz and it was incredible, from their costumes and makeup to the routine itself. Carrie Ann pointed out that "people don't realize how hard a dance that was. It was fantastic!" But Len thought that they were "a bit too isolated" and he would have liked more dancing in hold, which led to two 10s and Len's 9.
Kellie and Derek's Argentine tango to start the show was absolute perfection, not a hair or a step out of place, and boded well for high scores. Len summed up his feelings with the quote of the night: "Close the door and call me Mary! That was fantastic! I loved it!" And yes, they got three perfect 10s for it. When it came to their Twitter-requested flamenco, Kellie's costume and nerves let her down. About halfway through the remarkable routine, Kellie seemed to tense up and lose some momentum, a problem she blamed partly on the very heavy dress she was wearing. The scores were still good, with a 10 and two 9s.
The fourth couple that I think will make it to the finals, Zendaya and Val, faltered in their quickstep when they tried to put a modern spin on the ballroom dance, and failed. After beginning in side-by-side racecars, the routine was very, very fast and some of the steps got lost in the rush. Bruno called it "a quickstep for the next generation," but Carrie Ann said it was "kind of a mess. It felt like you were dragging each other through the dance," and Len agreed that the speed "lost the style." The score was one of the lowest of the evening. The pair redeemed themselves with a hot hip-hop that had the judges cheering. Although Val was the student in this Twitter-picked dance, he did an incredible job of keeping up and matching Zendaya, step for step. Yep, they got three 10s for another 30.
The underdogs of the group, Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson, tried hard to crack through to the top with a samba, but it lacked the bounce and fluid movement required in the dance. It always seems as if Ingo is struggling to remember the steps, instead of enjoying himself and letting go. Len thought he "did a good job with a difficult dance," but the writing was on the wall: three 8s for their score. Their Twitter dance was the Charleston, which was right up Ingo's alley -- he could be silly and even forget a couple steps without being marked down. Carrie Ann called it a "grand slam," Len thought it was "full of fizz," and the pair received three 9s, their highest scores of the season. It will be a huge shocker, however, if Ingo is sent on to the finals, and one of the other celebs is eliminated tomorrow night.
The only filler during the show was a video before each pair's second dance, with family and close friends talking about drive and determination to succeed. Each clip was just the right length to avoid being boring and was a nice touch for the semifinals.
Tomorrow night is really bittersweet -- the show will celebrate its 300th episode but a pair will be eliminated. Four couples will be dancing in the finals next Monday, with the Season 16 champion crowned the following night. Who do you think will be eliminated and who do you think will be the champion?
The celebrities and their scores (first dance, second dance, total):
Aly and Mark -- 30 + 29 = 59 out of 60
Jacoby and Karina -- 30 + 29 = 59
Kellie and Derek -- 30 + 28 = 58
Zendaya and Val -- 25 + 30 = 55
Ingo and Kym -- 24 + 27 = 51

Chip Kelly's offense isn't the only thing that churns at a high rate of speed.
Less than 24 hours after Oregon capped its 2012 season with a Fiesta Bowl win over Kansas State, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com is reporting that the Ducks' head coach is on the verge of a deal with the Cleveland Browns. It had previously been reported that Kelly would interview with the Browns today, followed by interviews with the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles if the Browns could not seal the deal.
Based on Rapoport's report, the deal is almost sealed, although that was also the case with Kelly and an NFL club this time last year.
If Kelly does indeed leave Eugene, it's expected offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich will be promoted to succeed the fourth-year head coach.
Obviously, we'll have more on this story as it develops…

A fast, easy five-step process
Inexpensive! Act now to get 50% off!
Dear Job Seeker,
What employers want most is people who already have training and experience.
Ethics are the key to getting what you want out of life.
There was a day when that was true. But no more.
Studies show the greatest concern of companies today is not training or experience, it's ethics. Ethics are the rules of right and wrong.
Workers today drive business people crazy with stealing, tardiness, lying, vandalism, refusing to follow instructions, goldbricking, breaking agreements, harassing other workers, and insulting customers.
You know how awful this disaster is. You've seen such outrages yourself many times.
So have I.
My name is Richard J. Maybury. I am a professional researcher in business, economics and related subjects. My books have sold more than a half-million copies, and been endorsed by former U.S. Treasury Secretary William Simon, former Congressman Ron Paul and other famous business leaders. I've been interviewed on TV and radio more than 350 times, and had over two million words published.
I also own three successful businesses, so when it comes to hiring, I am the voice of experience.
Employers have learned the hard way that just one person without ethics can sabotage an organization. Look what happened to Wells Fargo.
If an employer knows nothing of your ethics, he or she will be reluctant to hire you. But if your ethics are impressive, you will have a big edge over your competition.
How to get a good job? Give employers evidence that you know how to be ethical!
Millions don't. In the public schools, the teaching of ethics was made illegal in the 1960s. (See the books Last Chance For Our Children by former California Superintendent of Schools Bill Honig, and Yes Virginia, There Is Right And Wrong, by sociologist Kathleen M. Gow.)
Certificate 8x10
It's that simple. These days, ethics makes you stand out as someone special, a cut above the rest. You are a quality person.
Believe me, when I hire, I make ethics my top priority, and other employers are learning to do the same.
So, I have developed a way for you to prove you know how to practice good ethical judgment. It's called Ethics Solutions®.
To walk in the door of an employer's office carrying an Ethics Solutions® Certificate is to offer solid evidence that you have the most important thing employers want: an understanding of how to practice good ethical judgment.
Here are the five steps to getting hired for the good job you want so much:
1. Spend about two hours reading our Ethics Solutions handbook.
2. Answer the questions in the Ethics Solutions assessment. This will take about a half hour. You're allowed three tries. When you achieve a passing score of 70%, you are instantly awarded the Ethics Solutions Certificate.
3. Having earned the certificate, attach a color copy to your resume. Our web site allows you to print as many Certificates as you wish. You are also entitled to write on your resume "Certified by Ethics Solutions®". If you achieve a score of 90%, "Certified Top Rated by Ethics Solutions®".
4. Follow the customary advice about an interview — good grooming, nice clothing, arrive early; see "20 Tips for Great Job Interviews" at experisjobs.us, or Google "how to do well in a job interview."
5. Now you are trained and ready. Walk into the interview carrying your Ethics Solutions certificate, handbook, and resume.
Available only from Ethics Solutions®, this concise, revealing handbook helps you explore the fascinating but forgotten world of ethics.
When you show the certificate, the employer may ask what it means. Be enthusiastic. Give impressive examples of what you learned from the handbook.
For instance, use Post-It notes as bookmarks for some of the most helpful pages. Leafing through the handbook, say to the interviewer, "on page 22, I learned why I should always do everything I agree to do. On page 47, I found out how important it is to avoid gutter language. On page 23, I discovered why I should never be lazy, and on 24, always arrive early."
The enlightening yet simple handbook explains 38 other topics you can use as examples of your ability to practice standout ethical judgment.
Tell the employer, "The handbook is brilliant. It taught me the importance of a promise. Give me the necessary training and experience, and I promise to do my best to be one of your finest employees."
Thousands of employers are desperate to hire workers who are honorable. Once you have an ES Certificate, don't be surprised if they are desperate to hire you!
Your ES Certificate also shows you have the energy and boldness to tackle new challenges — to go the extra mile — to be the kind of worker employers need. When I am hiring, that's the type of person I look for.
Don't delay, get started now. The sooner you begin, the more quickly you can get the great job you want.
The price? Normally it's $99.00, but if you take advantage of this special limited time introductory offer, it's half-off, $49.50. For the price of two pizzas, you gain a better chance at a job that will pay you thousands of dollars more each year.
More than that, ethics are so important that a thorough understanding of them will improve your life in ways you never dreamed of. You will not only have more rewarding jobs, but better friendships, affairs of the heart, trustworthiness and prestige.
You will be admired!
Know what to do when The Two Laws are broken! Order Now!
Order your Ethics Solutions training kit and personal confidential Access Code to take the assessment and receive your certificate when you pass.
ORDER online, or call 877-226-1263 between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Arizona Time, Mon-Fri. To receive 50% off, mention "ES offer number 313."
Ethics is the new national crisis. Spread the word that you have made yourself into one of the solutions.
Best Regards,
Richard J. Maybury

So I just did this on my up-to-date Arch system:
[anna@home ~]$ sudo rm -rf /usr/
^C[anna@home ~]$ ^C
[anna@home ~]$ ^C
I terminated the
rm very quickly. I can't find anything wrong with
/usr/ by eye.
What options are there to see if any damage was done? Is there some pacman integrity check that I should run? Any specific files I should check to make sure that the system can start again?
From now on, I'll keep backups of the entire system.

GOP governors to Hill Republicans: Step up
Ask Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett and Utah Gov. Gary Herbert what they think of Hill Republicans' strategy on the sequester, and you get the exact same response: "What strategy?"
It's a sign that Republican governors might be still giving President Barack Obama a lot of the blame for the sequester — but they're fed up with their own side, too.
Story Continued Below
Their message for House Speaker John Boehner and other GOP leaders: It's not OK to just sit on the sidelines. It's time to do something to stop the automatic cuts, and fast.
( Also on POLITICO: GOP 2016: Governors vs. D.C. insiders)
"They need to stop having press conferences and start meeting," Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell told POLITICO Sunday, referring to both Hill Republicans and Obama. "The time for shows is over. We've had 18 months."
Other governors were even harsher.
"I think there's a lack of leadership, period. And there's enough lack of leadership blame to go around," Herbert said Sunday. "The president needs to step up with his proposals. Speaker Boehner needs to come to the table with his proposals. And what's happening with [Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reid? I mean, they haven't done a budget there for four years."
( Also on POLITICO: Battered GOP governors change tune)
"They all need to step up," Herbert said. "Whatever the strategy is, it seems to be not too good a one."
The new rumblings match what's been going on behind the scenes for months. Governors have publicly signed on to letters bashing Obama and praising House Republicans' efforts, but privately their offices have been urging lawmakers to work harder to avoid potentially devastating cuts — particularly those that could hit local programs.
It's a reality check moment for the Republican Party, with state leaders fearing they'll be left to clean up the economic disaster back home if Washington can't overcome its partisan stalemate.
(PHOTOS: What are they saying about sequestration)
Corbett, whose state is one of the top 10 states that could be hit hardest by job losses, says congressional Republicans — and Democrats — need to restart the talks with Obama about how to replace the sequester.
"Frankly, I think the Hill ought to be saying, 'We're ready to sit down and work on a budget right now, and we will go through it line by line,'" Corbett said Sunday. "That's what you've got to do. That's what we do as governors."
Until now, Republican governors have mostly been content to blame Obama for the sequestration cuts that will hit their states in five days, and they've stayed quiet about the role their Hill colleagues have played in the mess. That's exactly what Republican leaders wanted, since they're trying to stick Obama with the blame for the cuts, insisting it's up to him to come up with a backup plan that doesn't raise taxes again.

But governors aren't having it anymore.

Estimate flat Earth position from geodetic latitude, longitude, and altitude
Utilities/Axes Transformations
The LLA to Flat Earth block converts a geodetic latitude , longitude , and altitude (h) into a 3-by-1 vector of Flat Earth position. Latitude and longitude values can be any value. However, latitude values of +90 and -90 may return unexpected values because of singularity at the poles. The flat Earth coordinate system assumes the z-axis is downward positive. The estimation begins by finding the small changes in latitude and longitude from the output latitude and longitude minus the initial latitude and longitude.
To convert geodetic latitude and longitude to the North and East coordinates, the estimation uses the radius of curvature in the prime vertical (RN) and the radius of curvature in the meridian (RM). RN and RM are defined by the following relationships:
where (R) is the equatorial radius of the planet and is the flattening of the planet.
Small changes in the North (dN) and East (dE) positions are approximated from small changes in the North and East positions by
With the conversion of the North and East coordinates to the flat Earth x and y coordinates, the transformation has the form of
is the angle in degrees clockwise between the x-axis and north.
The flat Earth z-axis value is the negative altitude minus the reference height (href).

Specifies the flattening of the planet. This option is available only with Planet model Custom.
Specifies the radius of the planet at its equator. The units of the equatorial radius parameter should be the same as the units for flat Earth position. This option is available only with Planet model Custom.
Specifies the reference location, in degrees of latitude and longitude, for the origin of the estimation and the origin of the flat Earth coordinate system.
Specifies angle for converting flat Earth x and y coordinates to North and East coordinates.

|Contains the geodetic latitude and longitude, in degrees.
|Contains the altitude above the input reference altitude, in same units as flat Earth position.
|Contains the reference height from the surface of the Earth to the flat Earth frame, in same units as flat Earth position. The reference height is estimated with regard to Earth frame.

This estimation method assumes the flight path and bank angle are zero.
This estimation method assumes the flat Earth z-axis is normal to the Earth at the initial geodetic latitude and longitude only. This method has higher accuracy over small distances from the initial geodetic latitude and longitude, and nearer to the equator. The longitude has higher accuracy with smaller variations in latitude. Additionally, longitude is singular at the poles.

Urban League of Greater Madison President Kaleem Caire immediately announced that he would sue the board for racial discrimination: "We are going to challenge this school district like they've never been challenged before, I swear to God."
From the comments at the link:
This was never about Unions. Mr. Caire's tea party pals play the union card because they understand how divisive and powerful it can be.When liberals attack liberals! What to look for: 1. They'll call each other conservatives. 2. Race card. 3. Lawsuit!
This was an attempt by the Urban League to create a private school with public money. Their attempt has failed. That Mr. Caire is now apparently going to sue (and further drain resources that could be used to close the achievement gap), reinforces the assertion that the real objective is to put public money into private pockets.
Mr. Caire is behaving like a professional victim.
ADDED: If you leverage your proposal on race — thinking that's a great way to get Madison liberals to give you what you want — when they vote it down, do you get to cry race discrimination? Seems to me, that's counting race twice. Or... to put it another way... it's arguing that affirmative action is not merely permitted, but required.
I think Caire should show his good faith by withdrawing the race card and declining to sue. He lost a political fight. The place to fight a political fight is in the political arena. You're competing for taxpayer money, so prove your commitment to not wasting taxpayer money by not draining it through litigation. Caire should focus on the next election. Try to put people who support the charter school on the school board.

While APOEL's Cinderella run through the Champions League was mostly over before today's return match at Real Madrid even started, Kaká helped slam the door by increasing the aggregate lead to 5-0 when he landed a shot from a position and with a curve more reminiscent of his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo (who opened the scoring earlier in the match). It was nice of Real Madrid to give the Cyprus side a nice going-away present of effort on their way home, though. [FS Florida]

My Rating
By Mitesh Shah(30 Jun 2011)
The espionage thriller begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stefan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds of Focus' "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day"). All three have been venerated for decades by their country because of the mission that they undertook back in 1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain [soon to be seen in "The Tree of Life"], Marton Csokas [Universal's upcoming "Dream House"], and Sam Worthington ["Avatar," "Clash of the Titans"]) tracked down Nazi war criminal Vogel (Jesper Christensen of "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace") in East Berlin. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team's mission was accomplished - or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations.

Launch Ho!
TopWare Interactive has finally set a date for its pirate-themed RPG Raven's Cry, which will be made available on May 7, 2014.
I want this to be very good, because I like it when role-playing games don't conform to a high-fantasy model and I'm starting to get an itch to immerse myself in another large game. And while Assassin's Creed IV featured elements of the romantic age of piracy, that series is encumbered by other setting material which distracts a bit, so there's still a huge gap waiting to be filled in the pirate game landscape.
My hope is that developer Reality Pump Studios can "pump" out another title on the level of Two Worlds II. As long as they can meet that bar, I'll be happy.

I did not do any massive shopping in this trip because this is my third time in Bangkok.
Anyway, here's the stuff that me and my mom bought just to share with you.
Saw these Ongmali Frog earrings and it's has a tinge of feng shui element.
Something I could not resist.
Bought these to pakai for next CNY.
Of owls and butterflies.
You can see that I love butterflies and owls a lot leh...
Super awesome T-Shirt that is oh! so true. Mom got it for her best friend.
Mom also bought a nice red bag for her BFF
Some nice looking handkerchiefs looking oh! so sweet. My fav one is the black cupcake. Bought 2 of the same because I'm gonna keep one and one for a girlfriend in Penang because I think she is as sweet as the cupcakes. Hope you love the one I selected for you, Racheal.
We have been exchanging souvenirs in our last few trips.
Mom's stash: Wonderfully crafted handmade soaps. How clever!
My fav is the cute looking mangosteen. Too sayang to use leh.
The coconut soap is also nicely crafted with details.
And I my very first dreamcatchers. I have been wanting my very own dreamcatchers for the longest time. Now I have not one but three!
It's all about elephants in Thailand.
Naraya is one the the best places to shop for bags. It originates from Thailand. Their signature products are items like bags and wallets of all sizes made from cloth. It is so much cheaper to buy Naraya in Thailand than in Isetan, Malaysia. One can save up to RM20 to RM30 per bag (BIG BAGS)!
Yup. I did a cost comparison.
In my last trip I bought 9 huge bags! So this trip, I'm just gonna minimize.
So here's what I bought which I find it very useful. A coin pouch that comes with a tissue pocket.
Masa nak keluar lunch or jalan-jalan just bring this sudah memadai.
One pouch fits all.
A supergirl must get a Superman T-shirt. I've always wanted a blue one. So here's one to add to my collection and it was on Sale!
Also bought a raincoat-like windbreaker for 200 Baht at Platinum Mall
Saw these comfy shoes and it seems like everyone is wearing one these days.
Hence, another buy for me. I love walking in flats. I'm not a heels person.
This pair costs me about 550 Baht after discount.
Snacks Gallore!
I will usually invade stores like 7 Eleven in other countries to find snacks that I cannot find here. Just bough some minimal snacks to try. Lotte Panda in Green Tea, Tom Yum Flavoured Pretz and Blueberry flavoured Pocky.
Being a coffee lover, I end up buying their famous Moccona Coffee (all flavours) and I always go back for more whenever I'm in Bangkok. Trying out the Nescafe Caramel for the first time. And love the pack on the far right (in grey packaging) that consist of 5 flavours in a pack which comprised of these flavours : Mocha, Espresso, Condensed milk Flavour, Cappucino and Super Rich.
Mom also bought a few of these beautiful bloom hairbands. Aren't they a pretty sight! Feeling sooooooo feminine with these.
Hope you have an idea on what to buy in Bangkok in your next trip!
Happy Shopping!

White House Calls on Iran to Release Retired FBI Agent
The White House, under domestic pressure in the wake of the controversial deal with Iran, called on Tehran Tuesday to release retired FBI agent Robert Levinson, one of the longest-missing American citizens in Iran.
"As we approach the upcoming holiday season, we reiterate the commitment of the United States Government to locate Mr. Levinson and bring him home safely to his family, friends, and loved ones," White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a written statement. "We welcome the assistance of our international partners in this investigation, and we respectfully ask the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to assist us in securing Mr. Levinson's health, welfare, and safe return."
President Barack Obama raised the issue of Mr. Levinson and two other Americans with Iranian President Hasan Rouhani during their phone call in September, said Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council…

The Texas rural land market saw a "modest expansion" in both the number of sales and total acreage transferred in 2012, reports Dr. Charles E. Gilliland, Real Estate Center, Texas A&M University. In addition to the rise in sale volume and transaction size the market also posted a 6% increase in the value of an average acre of rural Texas land.
At the recent 23rd annual Outlook for Texas Land Markets in San Antonio, Gilliland said the recent upswing in both volume and size of transactions "suggest pent-up demand has slowly begun to ignite activity. Those results made 2012 the most active year since 2008. Sale volumes continued to approach numbers of transactions last posted in the 1990-2000 era."
He believes fears land prices would eventually drop, "so evident in the past several years," which made buyers reluctant to purchase, "appear to have abated in 2012. In addition, buyers seem to have grown weary of delaying their plans and may even have begun to anticipate rising prices in the years ahead."
"In fact," he continues, "Texas land markets posted strong price increases in 2012. Irrigated cropland markets in the Panhandle, the South Plains and south Texas as well as recreation ranches in the Austin-Waco-Hill Country region of central Texas experienced especially strong price momentum in 2012. Those markets led to the charge to an overall statewide increase of 6% over 2011 prices."
Gilliland says most areas of the state shared in the uptick in prices "except for West Texas ranchland areas and the Gulf coast area where prices were essentially flat overall. The state-wide price of $2,281 per acre compares to the 2011 year-ending price of $2,150 -- a strong increase for 2012 and a new all-time high."
Sale volumes picked up across the state, he notes. "The 5,103 sales reported for year end 2012 surpassed the 2011 volume of 4.520, recording a 12.9% increase. The level of activity has returned to volumes last seen in the late 1990s. The number of sales in 2012 was 241 transactions above the 1999 volume."

Some facts about boil orders
Our patrons have asked some interesting questions today about the boil order that -- as of 2:30pm Monday, June 23 -- is still in effect in Rensselaer until further notice.
The City of Rensselaer told our staff this afternoon they have to wait on the all clear from IDEM before the order can be lifted, so there is no estimate on when that will happen at this time. You can check the city's website for the latest information.
EDIT: The city lifted this boil order at 5:50pm (CDT) on June 23.
Some basic facts about boil orders: they can be caused not just from a break, but also from low pressure or other water system difficulties. They are designed to prevent illnesses from bacteria, viruses and other potential contaminants.
When a boil order is in effect, you should use bottled water or water that has been in a rolling boil for 3-5 minutes - and then cooled - for drinking, brushing teeth, washing dishes, washing food or washing hands. Showering or bathing in untreated water is fine as long as it doesn't enter your mouth. Instruct children not to do this. Infants should be sponge bathed in treated or bottled water. Laundry with untreated water is safe.
If you have a pet, you should treat their drinking water the same as you would treat water for yourself and your family. Animals may not be able to handle some kinds of contamination any better than a human.
If you are washing your hands in untreated water, you should consider other types of cleaners including sanitary gel or wipes, but keep in mind they not prevent all kinds of contamination.
Boil orders are common, and if followed correctly, the water will be safe to consume.
For more information, check out the CDC's Guides on What to do During a Boil-Water Advisory [Spanish] and What to do After a Boil Water Advisory. [Spanish]

We Are The World
Los Angeles Times sports blogger Steve Bisheff wrote Monday that he underestimated Juan Rivera's talents — in part because Rivera doesn't speak English in interviews.
Los Angeles Times blogger and former Orange County Register sportswriter Steve Bisheff posted Monday night an admission that he had misjudged Juan Rivera's talents. His justification:
I thought he was a decent enough player, who, in the best of circumstances, would hit maybe .280, finish with 22 or 23 home runs and perhaps 80 RBIs. Not bad, mind you.
Just nothing to get excited about. Kind of like Rivera's demeanor. He is about as personable as a foul pole, a quiet, introverted type who rarely says anything in the clubhouse and claims not to speak English, though there are those who think that's just a ploy to avoid reporters.
In other words, he is everything Torii Hunter is not.
By no means am I about to tar all sportswriters with this metaphorical brush, but Bisheff's admission reveals something that's troubled me about far too many scribes — the journalist's reporting about a player is tainted by how big a quote machine he is.
This isn't limited to sports journalism. I've mentioned before that I dabble in political consulting as a sideline. I learned a long time ago that reporters will be far more sympathetic to your cause if you regularly feed them information. It makes their job easier. I've seen many articles published over the years — some sympathetic to my causes, others critical — that were largely reprints of information handed to the reporter by a source, without adequate fact checking.
Bisheff's bias is that Rivera doesn't speak English and, in particular, the suspicion that Juan might know more English than he lets on.
Well, here's a revelation for you — lots of Latin ballplayers know more English than they let on.
I remember during the 2002 playoffs that Francisco Rodriguez used an interpreter during post-game press conferences. I was laughing on the sofa because Frankie's English was quite good. I'd known Frankie in the minors, spoken to him frequently, interviewed him at Salt Lake in July 2002, and happened to see him at Anaheim on September 15 when he was called up. We spoke in English — and his was quite good — about his overnight flight from Salt Lake City.
Most Latin players are anxious to practice their English — with people they trust.
Many of them come from countries where the media are controlled by the authoritarian government. Juan Rivera is from Venezuela, which is run by Hugo Chavez. The Dominican Republic isn't exactly a bastion of free speech either. So these players are naturally distrustful of the media.
But it seems to me that Bisheff and his colleagues could achieve a lot more access if they simply learned some Spanish.
Bisheff's comment reminded me of the May 21, 2005 press conference at Rancho Cucamonga where Kendry Morales was introduced to the baseball world. I was there to videotape it; no television media showed up, only newspaper reporters, so I have the only video of this historic event.
Click Here to watch the press conference. Windows Media Player and a broadband (cable modem, DSL) Internet connection are required.
A reporter from the Los Angeles Times monopolized the first fifteen minutes of questioning. (The Angels' Media Relations should have cut him off, but that's their problem.) Charlie Romero, the manager of the Angels' Dominican academy, was there to translate for Kendry. When the Times reporter finally relented, a female reporter from the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin asked Kendry a question — in Spanish. The Times reporter meekly asked for a translation.
I was laughing to myself, thinking "Good for you!" that the Daily Bulletin reporter stuck it to the Times scribe.
But it was symptomatic of the same attitude Bisheff has — you owe it to us to speak our language, or else we might not write nicely about you.
I look forward to many more interviews with Rivera, Morales and other Latin players — in Spanish.

2016 run for White House not on Biden's radar yet
CHICAGO — Win or lose, Vice President Biden noted half-jokingly on Tuesday that he wasn't ready to make this election his political swan song.
After voting Tuesday morning in his home state of Delaware, Biden playfully responded to a reporter's query asking whether he thought this would be the last time he voted for himself in an election.
"No, I don't think so," Biden said with a wry grin.
PAUL RYAN:VP hopeful wins Wisconsin House seat
At a surprise last-minute campaign stop at a Cleveland diner later in the day, the vice president was put on the spot by a voter who asked whether he would make yet another run for the White House in 2016 if President Obama wins.
"Oh, I'm going to go back home and run for county council or something," Biden responded.
But joking aside, Biden has a difficult calculation to make over the next two years, when the race for 2016 truly heats up.
It's perhaps a more serious quandary if Obama is declared the winner of Tuesday's election than not, because the vice president could stake claim to being the rightful Democratic heir to a two-term presidency.
Biden already has made two unsuccessful runs for the presidency, campaigns that were most remarkable for gaffes. In 1988, he ended his bid for the White House after being accused of plagiarizing parts of a stump speech. His brief 2008 run was most memorable for describing Obama as the "first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy."
He also could face stiff competition for the Democratic nomination. Among names being floated as potential contenders are Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.
Biden, who started his career in politics 42 years ago when he won a spot on the New Castle (Del.) County Council, will also be facing Father Time.
The vice president turns 70 later this month.
But Biden, who told reporters early Tuesday that he was feeling "pretty good" about his and the president's chances to eke out a win, suggested as hasn't lost his passion for politics.
At his Cleveland diner stop, he appeared to relish pressing the flesh, as he has throughout the campaign. He even asked some older, stocky men if they played football and dubbed an enthusiastic group of diners a "power table."
And when a poll worker apologized for the fact that the vice president had to wait to cast a ballot, Biden didn't mind in the least.
Instead he waxed about the joy of being on the ballot.
"I tell you what, you know, every time I do it — this is the eighth time that I've run statewide in the state of Delaware," Biden said after casting his ballot, "it's always a kick, it really is, to see people out here. I hope everybody exercises their right to vote. It's a great honor."

CarGo, Ubaldo also on Rockies' radar
The Rockies' commitment to their foundation players began with Troy Tulowitzki, but it won't end there.
Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said moments after the press conference announcing Tulo's seven-year, $134-million contract that he had reached out to Ubaldo Jimenez and Carlos Gonzalez to let them know the team wants to retain them indefinitely.
O'Dowd talked to CarGo's agent, Scott Boras, about a long-term deal, but it wasn't a fit given Boras' philosophy of taking players into free agency as soon as possible. Jimenez last year signed a four-year, $10-million contract that would grow to six years and $22.75 if the Rockies pick up club options in 2013 and 2014.
Jimenez's contract is very club friendly given his breakout 2010 season, when he won 19 games with a 2.88 ERA. O'Dowd is sensitive that that and felt compelled to call Jimenez, given the magnitude of Tulowitzki's contract.
"We're open to anything," said O'Dowd, when asked about what he was willing to do for Jimenez.

LONDON (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs said on Wednesday gold's current price cycle will likely turn next year as a rise in real interest rates on the back of improved growth offsets any further balance sheet expansion from the Federal Reserve.
Goldman cut its three, six and 12-month forecasts for gold prices - currently near $1,700 an ounce - to $1,825 an ounce, $1,805 an ounce and $1,800 an ounce respectively.
It also introduced a 2014 forecast of $1,750 an ounce, suggesting price growth could tail off. In a 12-month forecast released in May, it predicted a gold price of $1,940 an ounce.
"Medium term... the gold outlook is caught between the opposing forces of more Fed easing and a gradual increase in real rates on better U.S. economic growth," Goldman Sachs said in a report.
"Our expanded modelling suggests that the improving U.S. growth outlook will outweigh further Fed balance sheet expansion and that the cycle in gold prices will likely turn in 2013."
The bank added however, that with risks to its growth outlook still elevated, especially given the uncertainty around the fiscal cliff, calling a price peak was "a difficult exercise."
Gold prices are set for a twelfth year of growth in 2012, with rock-bottom interest rates, concerns over the financial stability of the euro zone and diversification into bullion by central banks all driving gains.
The bank said its forecasts for higher gold prices in recent years had been motivated by ultra-low real interest rates and central bank gold buying, which last year hit its highest since the mid-1960s at 455 tonnes.
However, it said it had since noted that not all announcements of quantitative easing measures, a form of loosening monetary policy, had driven price spikes.
The bank said gold prices reacted less to easing that did not require Fed balance sheet expansion, such as its Operation Twist programme, than to announcements of easing through expanding its balance sheet.
"(Our) forecast for limited upside to gold prices accounts for our economists' expectation for further Fed easing later in 2013, suggesting that an improving U.S. growth outlook more than offsets the potential for further Fed balance sheet expansion," it said.
"Absent additional easing in late 2013, we expect gold prices to decline at a faster pace in 2014 and to reach $1,625 an ounce by year-end," it added.
"Under a weaker U.S. growth outlook, gold prices will likely trend higher, reaching $1,900 an ounce by the end of 2013."

West Michigan companies rank among Fortune's 'Most Admired'
Four West Michigan companies have earned a place in Fortune magazine's ranking of the "World's Most Admired Companies."
Three companies on the east side of the state also made the 2014 ranking.
The survey-based ranking was conducted by Fortune's partner the Hay Group.
"World's Most Admired Companies" in Michigan
Kellogg, Battle Creek
Steelcase, Grand Rapids
Stryker, Kalamazoo
Whirlpool, Benton Harbor
Ford, Dearborn
General Motors, Detroit
TRW Automotive Holdings, Livonia
The ranking of the most-admired companies is based on nine criteria: social responsibility, innovation, people management, use of corporate assets, quality of management, global competitiveness, long-term investment, quality of products and services and financial soundness.
Jim Keane, president and CEO of Steelcase, said the company is honored to have made the ranking, among other innovative and respected global organizations.
"To be considered among them as one of the 'Most Admired' really reflects on the creativity and dedication of our employees around the world," Keane said.
Steelcase's business principles include positive relationships, protecting the environment, keeping commitments and honesty, according to its website. The company's extensive portfolio is designed for social, economic and environmental sustainability.
Steelcase has also received several awards recognizing its innovation, such as Gold Awards for the Gesture chair and Regard seating.
Whirlpool maintained its No. 1 position in the ranking's home equipment and furnishings category for the fourth year in a row. The company also appears on the 2013 ranking of the "World's Most Reputable Companies" by the Reputation Institute.
Whirlpool is founded on "disciplined operating processes and talented employees," said Whirlpool chairman and CEO Jeff Fettig.
"We're proud to have held strong, positive scores on the list this year, particularly in social responsibility and innovation, and we're committed to continued success in 2014," Fettig said.


text: Give your children financial security this Christmas. By Mary Beth Franklin, Senior Editor December 12, 2007 The holidays are fast approaching, and you're wondering what to get your favorite teenager. Rather than shopping for the latest trendy fashion or iPod accessory, why not consider a gift that could secure his or her future? Consider funding a Roth IRA for your child or grandchild.For this to work, the child must have had a job in 2007 because only people with earned income can contribute to an IRA. (Investment income doesn't count.) So, if your teen made money delivering papers, babysitting, flipping burgers, or working any after-school or weekend job, he or she qualifies. And, there's nothing in the rules that says that the child's own money has to go into the individual retirement account. It's fine with the IRS if you give your son, daughter or grandchild the cash. The key is that no more be contributed to the Roth IRA than the worker earned on a job. This year, individuals can put up to $4,000 into a Roth IRA. Even a small contribution now can add up to big bucks in the future thanks to the power of long-term compounding. Advertisement Let's assume you give your 15-year-old daughter $1,000 to fund a Roth IRA. If the money inside the account grows at an annual average rate of 8% -- well below the long-term average return for stocks -- that $1,000 will grow to about $47,000 over the 50 years it takes for today's teen to reach retirement age. If you added another $1,000 a year until she turned 20 -— and never added another dime -- that initial $5,000 investment would be worth nearly $250,000 by her 65th birthday. With a Roth IRA, the full amount will be tax-free when it's withdrawn in retirement. In addition to setting your kids on the road to retirement security, the gift of a Roth IRA will help them realize more immediate goals. Since contributions are made with after-tax dollars, they can withdraw the contributions (but not earnings) any time, tax free and penalty free. And when it comes time to buy her first home, for example, she can withdraw up to $10,000 (including earnings) tax free and penalty free. It's hard to think of a better gift this holiday season.

Vatican City, Jan 14, 2014 / 10:50 am ().- In his daily homily, Pope reflected on different models of Christian witness, cautioning the faithful against hypocrisy when they evangelize, and encouraging them to imitate Jesus.
"Let us ask the Lord that these two readings help us in our lives as Christians," said the Pope in reference to the day's scripture passages, and let us learn "not to be pure legalists, hypocrites like the scribes and Pharisees…but to be like Jesus, with that zeal to seek the people."
During his Jan. 14 homily given in the Vatican's Saint Martha guesthouse, Pope Francis used the characters in the day's readings to develop the theme of Christian witness, highlighting how the attitudes portrayed display four different types of believers.
Focusing on Eli the priest from the first reading, his sons who were also priests, the scribes and on Jesus, the pontiff explained that the Lord's attitude is one of teaching with authority, while the others bound their people with heavy burdens.
"It is Jesus himself who says that (the scribes) did not move these things even with a finger, right?" the Pope explained, "And then He will say to people: 'Do what they say but not what they do!'"
The scribes, he noted, are "incoherent people," adding that it often seems "that these scribes and Pharisees are always beating on the (regular folks)."
However, the pontiff explained that "Jesus told them…that in this way, they closed the door to the Kingdom of Heaven, (as if to say), 'You don't let others enter, and so neither will you yourselves gain entrance.'"
"This is how some people teach, preach and witness the faith…and how many people out there think that the faith really is as they present it."
Pope Francis then recalled the attitude of Eli in the first reading when he saw the woman Hannah in the temple begging for a son, and at first thinking her drunk, he told her to go away.
This attitude, he noted represents that of the "salesman" or the "manager" of the faith, revealing a priest whose heart is not truly in what he does.
"How many times," the Pope lamented, "do God's people feel themselves unloved by those who ought to give witness: by Christians – by lay faithful, by priests, by bishops."
"Why, then, do I have some sympathy for this man, (Eli)?" asked the Pope, "Because in his heart he still had the anointing, because when the woman explains her situation, Eli says, 'Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant you what you asked for.'"
"The priestly anointing comes out in the end: he had hidden it inside his laziness, poor man, a lukewarm man, and it ends badly for him, poor fellow."
Turning to Eli's sons, Pope Francis explained that after the scribes and their father Eli, they represent a third model of a believer, referring to them as "brigands" who "were priests," but shirked their duties in order to chase after power and money.
These men exploited their people and took advantage of the alms given, observed the Pope, stating that they, like Judas, are an image of the corrupt Christian who betrays Jesus, and in the end were punished severely by the Lord.
Pope Francis then noted that in contrast to the former three, the fourth and final model of witness is Jesus himself – who teaches others by the power and authority of his own holiness, and by being close to his people, especially to sinners.
Citing how Jesus pardons the adulteress, and converses with the Samaritan woman at the well in the Gospels as examples, the Pope explained that the Lord genuinely seeks to heal the wounded.
"Let us ask the Lord that these two readings help us in our lives as Christians," he prayed, "let us not be corrupt like the sons of Eli, nor to be lukewarm as Eli himself," but "to be like Jesus, with that zeal to seek the people, heal people, to love people."
Concluding his homily, the pontiff encouraged those in attendance, with the attitude of Jesus, to say to others, "'but if I do this tiny little thing, little as I am, think about how God loves you, think about how your Father is!' Let us ask for this grace."

BBVA Compass Stadium, an AEG Facilities venue, claimed two awards as one of the Houston's most influential real estate projects at the Houston Business Journal 2013 Landmark Awards.
BBVA Compass Stadium was awarded two of the four nominations, including Public Assembly and Public-Private Partnership. The stadium, home of the 2012 Eastern Conference Champion Houston Dynamo and Texas Southern University college football, was also a finalist in the Community Impact and Hospitality/Entertainment categories.
"We are truly honored to be recognized as an exemplary property that makes up this wonderfully diverse city," said general manager Doug Hall. "This project was a collaboration of many organizations, all of whom worked tirelessly to build a state-of-the-art facility that would continue to make Houston shine. These honors, which come to us in our first year of operation, are a strong source of pride for the East End community, the teams that play here, our staff and most importantly, the fans."
Houston Business Journal's Landmark Awards recognizes real estate projects that have made a significant impression on the Houston landscape. For consideration, projects had to be in the 10-county Houston area and have been completed in 2012.
BBVA Compass Stadium was an integral part of Houston's plan to redevelop the east downtown area, and was five years in the making. The design made use of simple and common materials that referred to the industrial heritage of its location while creating a distinctive civic landmark. The stadium sits on 12-acres near Highway 59 and Minute Maid Park, anchoring the East End of downtown Houston. The 340,000-square-foot structure seats 22,000 fans and features 33 suites and 3 party suites lining the lower bowl less than 10 rows from the pitch. The venue's 90,000 square feet of natural grass playing surface is ideal for soccer, football, lacrosse and rugby events in addition to concerts, festivals and private events.
The Houston Amateur Sports Park (HASP), managed by the Houston Dynamo, was also nominated and a finalist for Public-Private Partnership. The sports park is a multi-field facility built to address the lack of sports-specific recreational facilities in the Houston area. The property includes seven soccer fields, field lights, parking and a sports facility.
In addition to winning 2013 Landmark Awards, BBVA Compass Stadium was also awarded the LEED® Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council as Pioneering Example of New Construction Sustainable Design. The stadium team was recently named 2012 Marketer of the Year Best in Category-Sports/Entertainment Venue and the Houston Dynamo were named Best in Category-Professional Sports Team by the Houston chapter of the American Marketing Association.

Jockey Calvin Borel rode Super Saver to win the 136th Kentucky Derby on Saturday, his third win in four years. The win ended trainer Todd Pletcher's Derby drought.
Pletcher came into the race 0 for 24, but Borel's record-breaking win put Super Saver and the trainer in the winner's circle at Churchill Downs. No jockey has ever won three races in four consecutive years -- until now.
Super Saver covered the 1 1/4-miles in 2:04.45, as the second-choice behind Lookin At Lucky. He paid $18, $8.80 and $6 to win. Second palce finisher Ice Box paid $11.20 and $8, after beating out Paddy O'Prado at the wire. Paddy O'Prado paid $7.40 to show.
Lookin At Lucky became the day's favorite after Pletcher pulled another of his horses, Eskendereya, from the race last weekend with an injury in his left front leg. In the end, Lookin At Lucky was anything but, finishing sixth.
