First, let's begin with the expectations set for WebRTC. At TMC's recent WebRTC Conference, a panel discussed how WebRTC has high expecations. WebRTC has very ambitious goals, aiming to become the de facto standard by which users voice and video chat with other Internet users, which has the developer community and techies like myself very excited. Recently, I've written about WebRTC Demo fun, 2013 - The Year of WebRTC, and Skype vs. Facebook - How WebRTC Will Turn Friends into Enemies. But with all this excitement and optimism for WebRTC the expectations are high leaving the first implementation of WebRTC in browsers ripe for disappointment.
The various browser implementations of the current WebRTC specifications are the first go around with some of the implementations not even complete. For instance, Opera 12 currently only supports the getUserMedia WebRTC API leaving out two other important APIs - RTCPeerConnection, which enables peer-to-peer voice & video calls and RTCDataChannel, which enables peer-to-peer data transfer.
We have to remember, WebRTC started not long ago - back in May 2011, so it is very new. I'm reminded of how the VoIP SIP standard started and there was years of interoperability issues. Heck, SIP interoperability issues still crop up today from time-to-time. It wasn't that long ago that VoIP and video over IP was a nightmare to try and get to work through a firewall. You had to open various ports, or do static NATing just to get one device to work, but forget about dynamic port allocation to allow multiple VoIP devices to work. SIP-aware firewalls didn't exist. And who remembers the voice/video NAT-traversal issues that Skype became famous for solving? Skype just plain worked and through any firewall with no firewall configuration. Just install and then talk and video chat - simplicity at its best. Later standards like STUN and ICE solved the NAT traversal problem.
But now we're talking about a browser doing P2P voice and video communication and solving the NAT firewall traversal issues. Fortunately, the work has already been done, so it's just a matter of including the code into the browser. But it's worth noting how far we've come.
Another challenge with WebRTC is the unfortunate codec battle. Google, Mozilla and the W3C support VP8 mostly due to the fact that they believe the video codec should be royalty-free allowing developers to use WebRTC without having to pay license fees. Apple, Microsoft, and Cisco favor H.264 since it is more prevalent and currently many devices have H.264 optimized hardware for accelerated encoding/decoding. I'm not a codec licensing expert, but I'd assume if the operating system already has H.264 bundled and licensed/paid for (Windows 7/8, Mac OS, iOS, Android, etc.) then you don't have to pay an additional H.264 license fee if your WebRTC app makes use of it. Someone please chime in, in the comments if I am wrong. But if I'm right, then clearly H.264 is a better choice due to all the hardware optimized to offload from the main CPU when doing encoding/decoding of video.
I'll point out that Mozilla's Firefox for Android includes H.264 support even though they were reluctant since they had to pay a H.264 licensing fee. Google did announce that Chrome would drop its support for H.264 and concentrate on VP8, but Google never did remove H.264 from Chrome. 80% of HTML5 video on the Web uses H.264, so I just don't see Google removing H.264 support. According to Ars Technica:
The growth of mobile platforms made the demand for H.264 support even more acute: hardware acceleration of H.264 decompression is all but universal on mobile devices and taking advantage of this hardware support is essential for providing acceptable battery life.
These concerns led Mozilla to change its policy in March and start work on providing H.264 support in Firefox. The group is sidestepping the licensing concerns by taking advantage of the system frameworks provided on Android that expose the hardware accelerated H.264 features. By leaving the decoding up to the hardware, Mozilla also leaves the license costs up to the hardware suppliers.
This seems to confirm my suspicions, that Google worrying about WebRTC developers having to pay H.264 royalty fees is unwarranted, but again if I am wrong, please post a comment.
Let me add that at TMC's WebRTC Conference the panel said some browsers will likely initially support both codecs to prevent any potential roadblocks in WebRTC adoption. Considering the main browsers that currently support WebRTC - Google, Mozilla, and Opera, favor VP8, it appears VP8 will be the default codec for now.
The other major challenge is where Microsoft and Apple stand in this. Back in August 2012, Microsoft and their Skype team of engineers announced their own proposal for plugin-free real-time communication called "Customizable, Ubiquitous Real Time Communication over the Web" or for short - CU-RTC-Web. It was rejected by the W3C and Microsoft has been eerily quiet on WebRTC since then. Not good. Apple on the other hand has been quiet from the beginning. They haven't said boo about WebRTC, which is very disheartening when you consider the millions of iOS Safari users out there. C'mon Apple!
Yet another challenge is PSTN (mobile, landline, etc.) integration via WebRTC-to-SIP gateways. Already some solutions exist out there to bridge the WebRTC Internet world with the PSTN world, including Plivo. So this challenge is being addressed very quickly.
Screen Sharing
One last challenge is really more of a suggestion on my part to the WebRTC spec. I'd like to see support for screen sharing. Now, the Google Chrome team has said that they intend to support screen sharing according to their roadmap. I did read that you could write your own webcamera driver, so that your local screen appears to the WebRTC getUserMedia() API as just another video source, but that would require a driver, which defeats the purpose of WebRTC's plugin-less design. HTML5 Rocks offers a few methods, but they're hacks and are specific to Chrome-only.
The Chrome Team offers an experimental Tab Content Capture API that lets you capture and share the current tab being displayed. You can also read more about this here. Unfortunately, this API only shares your browser tab and not your entire desktop, which is limiting. Perhaps the browser is sandboxed from the operating system due to security concerns, though I don't see why a prompt "Allow Share Entire Desktop" wouldn't address this. The Google Chrome Team had this to say about the WebRTC Tab Content Capture API, "This API enables a special form of screencasting, but in which users are able to share the contents of a tab rather than sharing their entire desktop. This avoids a number of issues with desktop sharing, such as the presence of icons, taskbars, window chrome, pop-ups, and other elements that it is often not desirable (or in some cases, even embarassing - e.g. when a new mail notification or IM shows up for all to see) to share."
Really? That's your rationale for not support full desktop sharing? You're worried about an embarrassing popup as well as the presence of desktop icons? It sounds like an excuse. Google tends to be web-centric (Gmail, Chrome, YouTube, etc.) and this comment to me seems to me like Google dismisses the value of the local desktop. Sorry Google, but not everything runs in the Web, as much as you would like it to.
I'm honestly not sure why full desktop sharing isn't being considered. This means users will be forced to still use WebEx, GoToMeeting, VNC, etc. if they want full collaboration. Some of these screen sharing apps aren't available on iOS, Android, or Windows Phone 8, so yet another stumbling block for easy browser-based communications. Sigh...
The W3C Last Call Working Draft is expected in Q3 2013, with the final WebRTC specification expected to be standardized in 2014. So we're still a ways off from WebRTC becoming finalized, but as with anything this exciting in technology, developers are itching to write WebRTC applications today. Just keep your pants on if everything doesn't go as expected and make sure you attend the WebRTC Conference & Expo taking place June 25-27th in Atlanta! I'll definitely be there.

BERLIN- Stephen Decatur's varsity softball team had an up
and down week with a 15-0 win over Southern in the first round of the state
Class 2A-East Region tournament on Monday, followed by a disappointing 11-1
loss to Easton on Wednesday in the region semifinals.
Decatur ran into a buzz saw in top-seeded Easton on
Wednesday, falling to the Warriors, 11-1, to close out what was another great
season for the Seahawks. The 11-1 score was not indicative of how the game
went. With the steady Ali Justice on the mound for Decatur, the two teams
battled to a 1-1 tie through five innings before the Seahawks blew up in the
sixth. Decatur committed four errors in the sixth and Easton put 10 runs on the
board to end the contest once and for all.
The week started out great for Decatur, which took no
prisoners in its first game in the state playoffs, blitzing visiting Southern
of Anne Arundel County, 15-0, in the Class 2A-East Region quarterfinals to
advance in the tournament.
Justice was her usual unbeatable self on the mound, pitching a shutout for four
innings, and the Decatur bats provided more than enough firepower to advance to
the region semifinals. Kylie Nottingham went 2-3 at the plate, driving in four
runs and scoring three times. Haley Socha was also impressive at the plate,
going 2-3 with five RBIs and two runs scored. Kate Zimmer went 2-4 and drove in
three runs.

from sarah abbot
S: I think you're right (about the 'eye of the beholder'. I used to
occasionally visit Dr U Rewatta Dhamma in Birmingham and London in the 70s
and I had a lot of admiration for the difficult task he set out to
accomplish, being based in one of Englands most run-down slum areas at
the time. We talked a little about Abhidhamma, but not about controversies
in Burma.
The following, however, are extracts from an article of his on the
He starts his article with this introduction which I know youll agree
with, but which I post for others:
"At the heart of the Abhidhamma philosophy is the Abhidhamma Pitaka, one
of the divisions of the Pali Canon recognized by Theravada Buddhism as the
authoritative recension of the Buddha's teachings. This canon was compiled
at the three great Buddhist councils held in India in the early centuries
following the Buddha's demise: the first, at Rajagaha, convened three
months after the Buddha's Parinibbana by five hundred senior monks under
the leadership of the Elder Mahakassapa; the second, at Vesali, a hundred
years later, and the third, at Pataliputta, two hundred years later. The
canon that emerged from these councils, preserved in the Middle Indian
language now called Pali, is known as the Tipitaka, the three "baskets" or
collections of the teachings"
S:Later when he introduces the commentaries, some don't agree when he
When the authorship of the Commentaries is ascribed to Acariya
Buddhaghosa, it should not be supposed that they are in any way original
compositions, or even original attempts to interpret traditional material.
They are, rather, carefully edited versions of the vast body of
accumulated exegetical material that Buddhaghosa found at the Mahavihara
in Anuradhapura. This material must have preceded the great commentator by
centuries, representing the collective efforts of generations of erudite
Buddhist teachers to elucidate the meaning of the canonical Abhidhamma.
S:He adds more details on the commentaries and when it comes to the
commentary on the Abhidammattha Sangaha, he writes:
2. Abhidhammathavibhavini-Tika, or in brief, the Vibhavini, written by
Acariya Sumangalasami, pupil of the eminent Sri Lankan elder Sariputta
Mahasami, also in the twelfth century. This tika quickly superceded the
Old Commentary and is generally considered the most profound and reliable
exegetical work on the Sangaha. In Burma this work is known as tika-gyaw,
"the Famous Commentary." The author is greatly respected for his erudition
and mastery of the Abhidhamma. He relies heavily on older authorities such
as the Abhidhamma-Anutika and the Visuddhimagga-Mahatika (also known as
the Paramatthamanjusa).
Although Ledi Sayadaw (see below) criticized the Vibhavini
extensively in his own commentary on the Sangaha, its popularity has not
diminished but indeed has even increased, and several Burmese scholars
have risen to defend it against Ledi Sayadaw's criticisms.
< >
"4. Paramatthadipani-Tika, "The Elucidation of the Ultimate Meaning," by
Ledi Sayadaw. Ledi Sayadaw of Burma (1846-1923) was one of the greatest
scholar-monks and meditation masters of the Theravada tradition in recent
times. He was the author of over seventy manuals on different aspects of
Theravada Buddhism, including philosophy, ethics, meditation practice, and
Pali grammar. His tika created a sensation in the field of Abhidhamma
studies because he pointed out 325 places in the esteemed Vibhavini-tika
where he alleged that errors and misinterpretations had occurred, though
his criticisms also set off a reaction in defense of the older work."
S: So it seems there has been a significant amount of controversy by
Burmese scholars and bhikkhus too. In case there is any question about
whether Dr U Rewatta Dhamma would know, I just made use of that psychic or
psycho tool bar favourite;-) to find this:
A lifetime of Buddhism -- The Ven. Dr. Rewata Dhamma
was born in Myanmar in 1929. He has studied Theravada
Buddhism since childhood. He obtained the highest degree in
Pali examination at the age of 23 and was then awarded the
title of Sasanadhaja siripavara dhammacartiya by the then
president of Myanmar in 1953.
S:Anyway, Kel, I appreciate the approach you referred to of reading.
Considering and testing out according to your experience and appreciate
the high regard you have for Ledi Sayadaw's writings. Indeed they contain
a wealth of detail and there's no doubt about his familiarity with all the
texts in Pali.
I may respond later to the extract of Ledi Sayadaws that you kindly
posted for me. Its good to discuss these points further I dont think
they are minor academic points at all, but crucial aspects of how we see
the practice.
Sarah> > "Ledi Sayadaw's ....Paramattha-dipani created a sensation in the

Intel has announced that its next generation of smaller, more efficient mobile processors will be ready for "high volume manufacturing in 2013."
Intel has struggled to compete with the likes of Qualcomm on the mobile processor front over the past few years, so it's been scrabbling to ready a new slew of processors that can make it in the market. With any luck, they'll at least fair better than the Medfield chip of this year.
Reuters reports that Intel announced at a San Francisco industry conference that its new manufacturing technologies would soon be capable of building system-on-a-chip systems that rival Qualcomm's.
Currently Intel's mobile processors use manufacturing processes which can produce features 32 nanometers in size, which doesn't compare well with Qualcomm's 28 nanometers. Smaller features, after all, bring better performance and efficiency—but are more difficult to make. Intel's new mobile processors promise 22 nanometer features.
Intel already produces 22 nanometer PC processors, but using that technology to build system-on-a-chip units isn't straightforward. Sounds like it's cracked it, though, and is hoping to put the silicon into mass production next year. The only thing that remains to be seen is whether a mobile Intel chip can steal the lead from Qualcomm. [Reuters]

Julie Roberts brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 118 Designs von 22 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I need a logo that will be used on my website and business cards. The company is a metaphysical/spiritual/healing based company called Sanctuary Much.
Sanctuary Much
The logo must be a symbolic representation of who and what I am about for my new business. Sanctuary Much is the name of my business. The name Sanctuary Much is dualistic in meaning. First, when said out loud it sounds like 'thank you very much' and is a reminder for us to give thanks for all that we have in this life. Second, it is a reminder to meditate and find sanctuary often, so that we may find balance and healing in our lives.
The services my business will offer will include Reiki Energy Healing, Hypnotherapy, Psychic Development Classes & Workshops. I will also sell handmade beaded jewelry and all-natural items like soaps and body scrubs on the website http://www.sanctuary-much.com.
About me:
Julie Roberts is a Reverend of the Universal Life Church, Reiki Practitioner, Certified Hypnotist, Psychic and Teacher of Metaphysics, living in the Los Angeles area. Julie had her first encounter with the spirit world at the age of three which was very profound and has impacted her entire life, sending her on a quest for learning and knowledge. Over the past 20+ years she has spent countless hours studying and cultivating the maturation of her own unique gifts in an effort to help others on their own paths.
- I am a deeply spiritual person and I would like the logo to emanate a sense of spirituality without being overtly religious in nature.
- I am drawn to the mysteries of life and would love a design to emanate that as well.
- Perhaps a design that incorporates elements of nature with spirituality and energy.....I tried to design an oak tree (tree of life) with celtic knot roots...but I didn't like my design...perhaps someone more artistically inclined may take a chance on it.
- Since I work with healing energy, perhaps that essence can be incorporated into the design.
- Keywords: energy, spirit, mystery, healing, power, beauty, balance, life, love, nature, goddess, chakras, metaphysics, psychic
- I am drawn to greens, blues and purples. Eggplant/sage green color combo is very pleasing to me.
- Something that will compliment the website would be ideal. The website will most likely be in colors of blues, greens & purples and will have images of nature in the background (forest setting, perhaps a lunar background with mist or fog..).
- Sanctuary Much
- any file type is good, though .eps or .ai file is preferred
- please include fonts or outline text
- NO crosses or pentagrams.

I'm having trouble with a homework assignment. This is what I need to do.
You are to create 2 classes and use the helper class I have provided to complete this lab.
The first class you are to create will determine your recommended weight (Kg), given the users age and height (cm). The formula for calculating the recommended weight is:
recWeight = (height -100 + age /10) * 0.90
The second class you are to create will convert the weight in kg to pounds (1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds). Then it will have another method to calculate your weight on other planets. One method should be used per planet.
Use the values in this table.
Planet Multiply the Earth Weight by
Mercury 0.4
Venus 0.9
Jupiter 2.5
Saturn 1.1
The guidelines for your Recommended Weight class are as follows:
Class Name: RecommendedWeight
Method Name: getRecommendedWeight
Parameters: height (double) and age (int)
Desired Result: Calculate the recommended weight based on the height and age of
the user
Data Returned: The recommended weight in kilograms (double)
Class Name: PlanetWeights
Method Name: convertKilogramsToPounds
Parameters: weightInKilograms (double)
Desired Result: Calculate the weight of the user in pounds
Data Returned: The weight of the user in pounds (double)
Method Name: calculateWeightOnMercury
Parameters: weightInPounds (double)
Desired Result: Calculate the weight of the user on Mercury
Data Returned: The weight of the user, in pounds, on Mercury (double)
Method Name: calculateWeightOnVenus
Parameters: weightInPounds (double)
Desired Result: Calculate the weight of the user on Venus
Data Returned: The weight of the user, in pounds, on Venus (double)
Method Name: calculateWeightOnJupiter
Parameters: weightInPounds (double)
Desired Result: Calculate the weight of the user on Jupiter
Data Returned: The weight of the user, in pounds, on Jupiter (double)
Method Name: calculateWeightOnSaturn
Parameters: weightInPounds (double)
Desired Result: Calculate the weight of the user on Saturn
Data Returned: The weight of the user, in pounds, on Saturn (double)
This is the helper class my teacher has given.
This is my Class Name: RecommendedWeight: I think this is correct.public class Lab2 { public static void main(String[] args){ RecommendedWeight weight = new RecommendedWeight(); PlanetWeights planets = new PlanetWeights(); double weightInKgs = weight.getRecommendedWeight(177, 25); double weightInLbs = planets.convertKilogramsToPounds(weightInKgs); double weightOnMercury = planets.calculateWeightOnMercury(weightInLbs); double weightOnVenus = planets.calculateWeightOnVenus(weightInLbs); double weightOnJupiter = planets.calculateWeightOnJupiter(weightInLbs); double weightOnSaturn= planets.calculateWeightOnSaturn(weightInLbs); System.out.println("Your recommended weight in pounds: " + weightInLbs); System.out.println("Your recommended weight on Mercury " + weightOnMercury); System.out.println("Your recommended weight on Venus " + weightOnVenus); System.out.println("Your recommended weight on Jupiter " + weightOnJupiter); System.out.println("Your recommended weight on Saturn " + weightOnSaturn); } }
The problem I have is in the planetWeights class. I'm not sure how to bring in the weight in kilograms so I can convert it to pounds. I have spent hours on this doing multiple ways. I know this is wrong but this is the last thing I tried.class RecommendedWeight{ private double height; private int age; double getRecommendedWeight(double newHeight, int newAge){ height=newHeight; age=newAge; double recWeight = (height -100 + age /10) * 0.90; return recWeight; } }
Not too worried about the planets yet. I know if someone can point me in the right direction with the kilograms to pounds, I should be able to get the rest.class PlanetWeights{ private RecommendedWeight Weight = new RecommendedWeight(); double weightInKilograms = Weight.getRecommendedWeight(); private double weightInPounds; double convertKilogramsToPounds(){ double recWeight; weightInKilograms=1*2.20462262; weightInPounds=recweight*weightInKilograms; return weightInLbs; } double calculateWeightOnMercury(){ return weightOnMercury; } double calculateWeightOnVenus(){ return weightOnVenus; } double calculateWeightOnJupiter(){ return weightOnJupiter; } double calculateWeightOnSaturn(){ return weightOnSaturn; } }

Spiritual and material truth From Father Lazarus
For October 16, 2011
[ Apostle1.com's Note & Commentary: We have excerpted a certain portion so as to maintain the dignity and privacy of the author and hope the message itself is taken not lightly by all who read this...For even clergy oft times need help and advice from time to time in order for them to ensure their own efforts are not so inclined to do that which this material world often attempts to get them to do... Thus, as our Vladyka +Joseph Thaddeus has said, spiritual food is available to them who pray and them who listen not with ears of the flesh, but with ears of the spirit... as he blesses you with prayers indeed!]
fall away and no longer exist in the silence and solitude of the cell.
The solitary, both Monk and Priest, is separated from all but united to all, in his hermitage.
It is not a life as some would imagine with no love , but rather a life of intense pure spiritual love.
Loving all men, woman, plants and creatures.
At moments of grace through prayer being able to spiritually intervene in a situation and change it.
A bringing together of the particular movements and dimensions,
All things are in God.
Such love sets you free and brings the peace that the world could never give.
The pure love of the Monk- Priest in solitude is to love all things and all people equally without personnel preferences and personnel agendas.
Without seeking anything in return for ones self.
The search of our entire life time;
A search we make alone but never less alone, and never less loved.
The separations that you perceive to exist for the Monk -Priest in solitude no longer exist for him.
Every person, every plant, every animal present in the solitude.
The Monk-Priest in the silence and solitude of the cell evangelizes the world though his hidden life.
A life though which every man, woman, plant, and animal comes to rest gently in the silence of the Word.
You have reached the End of the Article... But, read on...

Even though we don't always give the credit they deserve... We want you, the viewer to know that they are a part of our life and living...

You who are new visitors, may wish to read a very short article below entitled "The purpose for presenting our Daily News section" Sadly to say, we take no pleasure in stating that some of the items we post are not from what we would call true "Christian" organizations. But we post it because it provides another side of the proverbial story. The Church, after all, is supposed to be a temple for sick souls (sinners) without distinction between their worse sins or otherwise, but it seems to some organizations that they say much about others, but fail and refuse to upbraid themselves and their members for their own sins...)
"Never, never, never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox, you must also be eastern. The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable liturgy is far older than any of her heresies."
- Blessed St. John Maximovitch of Shanghai and San Francisco
The purpose for presenting this Daily News section:
Daily News is very important to those who are true Orthodox Catholic Christians. For without knowing or gaining information for understanding about what is happening in one's local area and around the world, you could find yourself faced with denied services in the secular area, lack of income, even (although it sounds far-fetched) ability to worship openly for the time is not far off when all will have to decide if they wish to follow the Anti-Christ through the One World Church and One World Government as prophesied by the Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation of St. John or follow the faith delivered once and for all which will cause for many to be denied the abilities to survive under those kind of conditions, causing for one to consider other options.
Many of those who subscribe to, and some who have caused or are the cause for, these things to happen are involved in or with the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church (which is not the seat of all things "Catholic") as well as its protestant daughters such as the cultic Jehovah's Witnesses, the Pentecostal Churches, the Church of Latter Day Saints also known as the Mormon Church and far too many more to list.
Yet, at this web site we do provide some of the reasons about why they are opined to be the harbingers of that which is prophesied in Holy Scripture for the bringing about of the End Times which we have already entered. It is not necessarily their individual members or parishioners that should be blamed since they are only the "Sheep" and not the Shepherds... So do not think we castigate individual people of themselves as we castigate those "money changers" who Jesus Christ chased out of His Father's House as the Bible Describes; for they exist in these present times too.
Events are already rushing toward that time in which this is beginning to happen and will become more fully wide-spread. In these present times all you need to really do is look around both your local and larger areas as to what is really on-going through. Things so very little or miniscule that they are barely noticeable except to the more informed observer may become apparent.
Those little things are the laws of the land, economics, politics, the degrading and erosion of those rights and liberties afforded by the Constitution of these United States of America and many other things such as the manner with which entertainments have taken over much of the populace, entering into and becoming a major focus in worship, and more.
We ask you, if you don't want to believe us... Have you heard, seen or found what is termed (of the many terms being used) that there are "holding areas" or "camps" or "Closed/Fenced communities" being built by GOVERNMENT?
Here in North America, especially in the United States of America, we must admit that what Russia has come out of (a communistic, atheist country) we are entering into. And one last thing that needs also to be understood... Something very important to those of you who are "Catholic" in the Roman sense of its jurisdiction.... And, we believe this also holds true for many who are "Orthodox" whether "Eastern" or "Western"....
[ * Non-Denominational = Synchrestic Ecumenism, Disease of Scholasticism, altering the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ to accommodate the disease of Political Correctness and CULTIC PROTESTANTISM, and the Roman Jurisdiction (Latin Church = Vatican) of the Catholic Church) breaking of - or failure and refusal to respect and abide by - the ancient Seven Ecumenical "Do Not" Canons which leaves everything else open to God's gift of creativity... failure & refusal to abide by and have respect for those who diligently protect one of the other Pillars of the Church, the Seals of the Confessional, but "Non-Denominational" also includes worshiping Satan's religion of Muslim, Islam by praying with them and other heretics such as 'Pentecostalism,' 'Jehovah's Witnesses,' 'Mormons,' 'Church of Christ,' any so-called church with "Community Church" in their nomenclature and others who by their false and misleading dogmas and doctrines are actually against the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ upon whom and for exacting reason we are called "Christian" in both spirit and truth from which non-denominational protestant sectarian claimants have departed from as being so-called Christian] Only a skilled spiritual father can help you!
Remember: You cannot ride two horses or serve two masters for one of them will be harmed by your thoughts, your very words and your actions which is to blaspheme the Holy Ghost (Spirit) who will depart from you. And when the Holy Spirit departs, the great deceiver (unbeknownst to you) will rush in to fill the void under disguise of being the Holy Spirit! Testing of the Holy Spirit to insure it is the Holy Spirit does not, for many a Sectarian Protestant and Roman, work because the Great Deceiver (Satan) is most skilled in worming and snaking his charms around your mind and heart to feign being the Holy Spirit. Remember, Satan has the same gifts similar to the Holy Spirit but Satan's gifts are UN-HOLY and lead all who accept him (unbeknownst to you) to perdition.

Vice President Joe Biden is delivering the keynote address at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy graduation today and started his address by sending thoughts and prayers to the people of Moore, Oklahoma who are dealing with the aftermath of a powerful tornado.
He then commended Gov. Dannel Malloy for his response after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown in December.
This is not Biden's first trip to Connecticut this year.
U.S. & World
He made a previous trip to rally support for the gun control proposals of Obama in the wake of the Newtown school shooting.
The academy in New London has about 1,000 cadets in its four-year program. Students graduate with a bachelor of science degree and an obligation to serve five years in the Coast Guard.
In 2011, President Barack Obama delivered the keynote address at the academy's graduation. U.S. presidents traditionally address the graduating class at one of the federal service academies on a rotating basis.
Last year, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano spoke at the ceremony.

Each year since 1966, we of the organization Us have publicly celebrated the birth and commemorated the martyrdom of Min. Malcolm X, El Hajj Malik El Shabazz. Indeed, in the midst of much fear and silence that followed in the wake of Malcolm's assassination and martyrdom, we dared to stand up to bear witness to the awesome weight of his work in the world, to share and discuss his life-enhancing teachings and to recommit ourselves to keep alive and continuously lift us up his legacy, especially in the way we lived and live our lives.
We called February 21 Siku ya Dhabihu or simply Dhabihu, the Day of Sacrifice; and May 19 Siku ya Kuzaliwa or simply Kuzaliwa, the Day of Birth. For the first Kuzaliwa celebration, we called on the community and, especially young people, to take off from work and school to join in the celebration of this day which we declared a sacred day, a holy day. And the surrounding schools emptied out and many came to the African American Cultural Center, the Us headquarters, to celebrate Malcolm with us.
The D.A. had explored the possibility of indicting me for disruption of the schools, but after consultation with a group of lawyers and leaders from the community, decided against it. They had explained to him our position that this was a sacred day for us, covered under the freedom of religion, and that if we were going to be indicted, so should others for keeping their children home during their holy days. Lacking support in the community and seeing this indictment might prove counterproductive, they dropped the issue but not their intention. And as history shows, it would not be the last time they would seek a politically motivated indictment against me and members of our organization Us.
But we had already seen ourselves as sons and daughters of Malcolm and Malcolm had taught that one of the greatest obstacles to our acting in our own interests as a people is fear of our oppressor. And he had also taught that to free ourselves, we must free ourselves from fear and all the other self-disabling attitudes, ideas and emotions that are formed and fostered in conditions of oppression. Indeed, Malcolm had already opened the way and modelled the courage we would dare to emulate, not only in his audacious defiance of certain death, but also in defiance of political imprisonment and the disinformation and discrediting campaign waged against him in the corporate media.
For Us, then, there is a history behind the celebration of Malcolm's birth and the commemoration of his martyrdom. And it is a history about how we of Us have strived to mirror his life; to put in practice his disciplined commitment to struggle; to model his courage and love of learning; and to constantly share his teachings as anchoring insights in both ordinary and unsettling times. And this also sets the context for teaching the life lessons of Malcolm. For his very life is a treasure trove of endless lessons and his teachings are born not only out of deep reflection, but also out of self-conscious practice, a multidimensional struggle to raise and reconstruct, and free himself and his people. And those processes with him were simultaneous, interrelated and mutually influential.
In his liberation ethics, Malcolm especially calls the Black community to their original righteousness, a concept which has both spiritual and social dimensions. As a Muslim, he accepts in his early years the doctrine of the Nation of Islam as taught by the Hon. Elijah Muhammad concerning the divine nature of the human person and the naturalness of Islam as posited by the Quran. The Quran (95:4) states that Allah, God, "created humans in the best of stature". And that stature reflects a primordial nature that leans toward righteousness. Malcolm thus, taught that our unrightful, wrong and self-injurious actions against ourselves and each other were a reflection of our having forgotten or being ignorant of our true selves because of our oppression. For we are possessors of divinity and dignity, but lacking knowledge of our best selves, we act in contrast and contradiction and thus are often greatly unjust to ourselves. This Malcolm understood as self-injury, in Quranic language, zulm al-nafs, injustice and wrong to oneself. Malcolm calls this state, "being in the grave of ignorance", unaware of one's nature, potential and thus disabled, and unable to rise up, return to our original righteous tendencies and free ourselves.
Now, this is both a spiritual and social ethical message and here Malcolm offers his classic foundation and framework for rising up and returning and for waging a righteous and relentless struggle for freedom, justice and other essentials of a good life. It is the ongoing ethical imperative to "wake up, clean up and stand up". To "wake up" is to come into critical consciousness; to "clean up" is to achieve and sustain moral grounding; and to "stand up" is to engage in ongoing transformative struggle to recover and remake ourselves, and simultaneously reconceive and remake the world. When asked what are our people to wake up to: Malcolm replies that they must "wake up to their humanity, worth and heritage". It is a humanity and worth grounded in a status as possessors of dignity and divinity, worthy of the highest respect and a history of awesome achievement in life and struggle we must emulate and extend.
By moral grounding, Malcolm means developing and sustaining "a moral discipline that makes it easy…to walk the path of truth (justice) and righteousness" and prepares us for the good and righteous world we struggle to bring into being. And by transformative struggle, Malcolm means "fighting for recognition (and respect) as human beings…the right to live as free humans", to achieve a righteous realm of human good and come into the fullness of ourselves, as Marcus Garvey taught him and us. And in engaging this self-, social and world transformative struggle, Malcolm reminds us it is multidimensional, "material as well as spiritual, political as well as religious, racial as well as non-racial".
Malcolm envisions and calls us to an unrelenting liberating struggle that brings into being a liberated space which provides the social, material, intellectual, spiritual and psychological conditions and capacities for a truly good and meaningful life. He lists among these: "knowledge, understanding and wisdom (intellectual capacities); freedom, justice and equality (social conditions); food, clothing and shelter, etc. (material well-being); and love, peace and happiness (spiritual and psychological capacities and conditions)". And he urges us to not rest or relent until we achieve this righteous realm wherein these and all other life "essentials will be natural products flowing for us and to us like 'milk and honey'."

Saturday morning i was off to Georgetown to shoot stills for Gripped Films while they shot some sequences for Chasing Legends. I think I got some pretty good results. Once shooting wrapped and I got home I barely had time to clean up before we hit the road again, this time for the first of two birthday parties. The first was for one of Sam's friends, the second for Rob, one of my oldest friends. Sam's party was fun, but i think Rob's took the cake, if only because of the slot car track.
After all that excitement, we needed Sunday to unwind. Heather did an amazing amount of work in the garden while I took Sam out for a ride in the trailer and edited edited pictures while he napped. Once Heather was done in the garden I even got to sneak in a quick mountain bike ride at Fairland.

Manuel Crew LMFAO Party Rockers
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Kids
This homemade costume for kids entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Diane, the 'Party Rockers' costume creator:
Our idea came from the biggest summer music band/song LMFAO Party Rock Anthem.
Our daughter mentioned wanting to be a robot for Halloween, so that is where the inspiration came from.
I had a random box that that was the perfect proportion to her petite 4 year old self. I placed her baseball helmet in the inside of the box as support & ease of access. Spray painted it Gold & used PVC pipe & the top of playdough cans containers as the ears. Printed out the eyes, cut out the mouth & glued sheer black fabric so she could see through it. Made the Screen printed iron T-shirts from a t-shirt that we already had.
For the boys (Red Foo & Sky Blu) Made the screen printed T-shirts from plain T-shirts we already had. Blue Skinny jeans, Afro & accessories that we dug out from our "halloween trunk". The Pink skinny jeans & animal print hat is from GoodWill. Shades boys already had. I added some "bling" to the rims. The facial hair is purchased Halloween make up.

text: Provolone is a northern Italian cheese that can be thought of as Mozzarella's older brother. Take some Mozzarella, form it into your favorite shape, and rub it down with brine, bind it with rope and hang it from the ceiling for a few months and Voila! - you have just made Provolone. There are two varieties of Provolone. Dolce (meaning sweet) is the mild version and Piccante (meaning sharp) is its spicy, more aged counterpart. We love this Piccante version, which is rarely available in the U.S .and much more interesting than the mild Provolone most Americans have come to know. One of the great sandwich cheeses, Provolone Piccante is also an excellent melting cheese that is perfect in omelettes or atop a toasted baguette.

First, Murray Sperber, Indiana University professor:
One of the great myths about March Madness is that it earns huge sums of money for participating schools. Yes, CBS pays billions of dollars — over many years — to televise the games but only a very small amount of that money trickles down to the Division I schools eligible to play in the tournament.
The money is less a bonanza for colleges and universities than a lottery. To get a ticket, the N.C.A.A. requires every Division I school to have many teams in many sports and many athletes on scholarship — and almost all of these teams are in money-losing sports. Indeed, last year in the Chronicle of Higher Education, the N.C.A.A. conceded that almost every athletic department in the United States, including those at schools participating in March Madness, generates red ink.
While the N.C.A.A. tournament generates billions of dollars, even the schools and conferences that do well in the games lose a lot of money.
But according to standard university accounting methods, an athletic department cannot end the year in deficit. Thus universities frequently mop up the red ink by taking money from other sources, especially their general operating funds. This is money that could go to student loans, faculty grants and other worthy academic enterprises.
In the last decade, the N.C.A.A. has raised the cost of its lottery tickets. As a result, a number of schools like Georgetown University, with outstanding basketball teams but no Division I football squads, were coming close to breaking even in their athletic department finances until the N.C.A.A. stepped in and required the school to field an expensive, money-losing football program.
So while March Madness generates billions of dollars, athletic departments lose a lot of money. Even the schools and conferences that do well in the tournament and receive seven-figure payouts are forced to put every dime of that money toward their athletic department expenses and deficits — and that's why the academic departments see very little, if any, of that money.
The whole system stinks and cries out for a much-needed reform of the N.C.A.A. and its requirements for participating in Division I. Such reform should be No. 1 on the agenda, far ahead of the allocation of money from March Madness.
This is accurate: the argument of "when have 60,000 people shown up to see a chemistry exam?" is entirely beside the point. Athletic departments are self-contained businesses, really. That said, there are academic benefits to good athletics: almost all schools report a surge in admissions after successful seasons, and more admissions means that selection committees can be more selective and thus bring in better students. In any event, this deserves more in depth treatment, but I personally would be fine with paying players, as there are problems with the current model.
That said, I don't agree with agree with this rather naive view by professor William Dowling of Rutgers:
The various proposals for "reforming" college sports — by paying a stipend to the athletes who provide television profits, say, or diverting some of the money to academic purposes — show just how oblivious we've become to the damage commercialized Division IA athletics has done to American universities.
It's not the money, it's the silent triumph of consumerist ideology over academic and intellectual values in higher education.
The real issues have nothing to do with the millions generated by the N.C.A.A. tournament or holiday bowl games. They have to do with the silent triumph of consumerist ideology — in particular, a T.V.-revenue-driven behemoth with tremendous power to shape social consciousness — over academic and intellectual values in higher education.
You couldn't ask for a better example than "March Madness," the media spectacle that turns American universities into marketing vehicles for advertisers like Coca Cola and General Motors. For four weeks every spring, lower-level professional athletes wearing college jerseys are seen running back and forth on the television screen between the commercials.
Meanwhile, sportswriters and T.V. commentators maintain the solemn pretense that these are college students, young people who came to university to study Wittgenstein and learn medieval history and master the intricacies of R.N.A. replication. The N.C.A.A. grinds out public relations hype about "Academic All Americans" and "academic progress ratings." And the public, as though mesmerized, never raises an eyebrow.
We shouldn't be worrying about exploited athletes — few really are. Nor should we be worried about steering T.V. money to academics. Real colleges and universities — New York University, say, or Harvard, or the University of Chicago — have ways of paying academic costs without prostituting themselves to commercialized athletics. The solution is to end the prostitution itself.
Okay fine, I agree that it stretches credulity to contend that Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley (one and done freshman phenoms who went to the NBA after just a year in college) went to their schools to learn academics, especially during frantic March Madness time, where games take place in some far off city on Thursdays and Fridays (class?).
Yet notice Dowling's argument: to him, the athletes aren't exploited (despite being, at age 18, promised the potential of millions in professional sports but inevitably, with few exceptions, failing to get there while in many cases squandering the chance for a degree); nor the fans; but instead the University itself -- that holy place of learning -- that is corrupted by this "consumerist ideology" brought in by what he might describe as "the athletic element."
But this presupposes that Universities are powerless about this, yet most University presidents are academics, not former athletes. And while the "60,000 people don't come to see a chemistry exam" argument is bogus, boosters and sponsors do go to see football games and often donate to the University writ large.
Yet the whole argument just seems weird to me: it's not like anyone -- including announcers - really sits and gushes about Rose (or Michael Crabtree, Brian Orakpo, or even Tim Tebow) how amazing it is that they handle all these football duties on top of studying Wittgenstein. Instead, we all know it is a strange and precarious relationship that athletics has to academics. But strange does not equal corrupt.
Nor are plaintive invocations of the evils of "consumerist ideology" going to tell us anything: assuming this "ideology" is evil and it "triumphs," is it athletics that is the cause or a symptom? Finally, when did this utopia of the perfect and serene academic setting exist before athletics helped undermine it? I'm sure in Dowling's mind that, if not for athletics, Universities would look like Raphael's school of Athens, some kind of modern Lyceum. (And, no doubt, in this utopian academic setting it would be the professors and the brightest students exalte, rather than athletes and highly paid coaches.)
But this sharp dichotomy is false, and this utopia never existed. Is that reality optimal? I don't know. But even Plato, in his training regimen for his philosopher kings, recommended years of intense physical training beginning at the age of 18, and it was only out of those that excelled at athletics who ought to be then chosen to embark on ten years of math training, another five doing dialectics, and fifteen more managing the polis. (This emphasis on physical tools has long rankled the modern academic who sees sports and thinks only of barbarism.)
Yes, Universities are often put in an odd position serving the dual purposes as places of higher learning and something like minor league sports teams. And athletic departments often turn into little fiefdoms to few people's gain. But railing against the entire sports industry and our "consumerist ideology" strikes me as unproductive. I'm satisfied for now to just commend schools like Vanderbilt, who have consolidated their athletic departments into the rest of the school, and to hope other schools follow suit. Otherwise, it strikes me that people like Dowling would only be happy with eliminating college sports (save for a club cricket team or something) and replace it all with true professional minor leagues. I do not think it would have any positive effect on "society" in beating back the supposedly evil "consumerist ideology" that Dowling sees engulfing us. And I especially don't think it would return The University to some gilded age that exists only in Dowling's mind.

Amid skyrocketing inflation and shortages of basic goods, Venezuelan authorities claim that an "economic war" is being waged against the socialist government of President Nicolás Maduro. The government is striking back by forcing stores to discount prices, by arresting business owners accused of hoarding--and by targeting journalists trying to cover the grim economic news.
Over the past two months, several journalists have been briefly detained by authorities. The editor of Caracas's top financial daily was fired after Maduro complained about a story. Seemingly at Maduro's request, newspapers are being investigated by the attorney general's office for their economic reports. Officials are even berating journalists for using words like "shortages" or for reporting on scattered outbreaks of looting. The repression comes during the run-up to mayoral elections that will be held across Venezuela on Sunday and are widely viewed as a referendum on the Maduro government.
"The government realizes that the economic situation is extremely critical and that it could provoke a social explosion," Marianela Balbi, the director of the Caracas-based Institute for Press and Society, told CPJ. "So they are focusing much of their attention on media coverage of the economy."
TV news programs have toned down their coverage, especially in the wake of the April sale of Globovisión, the last Venezuelan TV station that was openly critical of the government, to a business group close to the Maduro administration. As a result, most of the government's wrath has been trained on newspapers reporting on how government policies have played a large role in bringing about the economic troubles and how shortages and one of the world's highest inflation rates are impacting readers.
In October, Diario 2001 faced an aggressive verbal attack by President Maduro for reporting how motorists had to visit several filling stations to find enough 95-octane gas to fill their tanks. Maduro called the story a lie and demanded that the editors responsible for composing the cheeky headline--"Gas distributed by dropper"--be put in jail.
"What Diario 2001 is doing is a crime," Maduro said in a televised speech as he held up a copy of the newspaper. "We can't permit such irresponsibleness in Venezuela because we have to protect the people. No more of this!"
Shortly afterwards, the attorney general's office launched an investigation of the newspaper for allegedly disseminating false information. Luz Mely Reyes, the editor of Diario 2001, told CPJ that she was ordered to testify about the newspaper's sources for the story. She said the investigation is ongoing.
On November 1, three Diario 2001 journalists were briefly detained--and one of them beaten up--by National Guard troops for covering a chaotic scene in which hundreds of people who had been in line since 4 a.m. at a food fair to buy discounted pork, an item hard to find in supermarkets, broke through security barriers in desperation. In the aftermath, the Banco de Venezuela bank, the only state entity that advertised in Diario 2001, has withdrawn its publicity.
"My journalists feel intimidated and unprotected. What do you do if the president starts insulting you? You have no way to defend yourself," Reyes told CPJ. "I don't know if we will have the strength to resist if the government comes after us again."
One journalist who tried in vain to resist is Omar Lugo, who edited the financial daily El Mundo, Economía y Negocios. The newspaper was often lambasted by the late President Hugo Chávez, who died of cancer in March, but Lugo considered the criticism a badge of honor and it helped boost sales.
But in June, Cadena Capriles--the media conglomerate that includes El Mundo as well as Últimas Noticias, the country's largest newspaper--was sold to a group of investors rumored to have close ties to the Maduro government. (Opposition leader Henrique Capriles, who lost to Maduro in the April presidential election, is distantly related to Cadena Capriles's previous owners but has never held a stake in the company.)
Lugo told CPJ that starting in October the new owners began to lean on him to publish stories friendlier toward the government. Lugo refused, saying it was impossible to put a happy spin on the country's economic situation. He knew his days might be numbered and they were.
Using official government data, Lugo published a front-page story on November 15 showing that the central bank's international reserves were falling at an unprecedented rate to their lowest level in nine years. In a nod to the price reductions being forced on many Venezuelan stores by government inspectors, Lugo topped the story with the headline: "Discounts reach the central bank."
The story apparently enraged Maduro. In a televised speech the next day, Maduro accused the newspaper of making false calculations--despite its reliance on government data--and berated the paper's new owners. They fired Lugo the following Monday.
"Government officials wants to manage economic reporting in the midst of an economic crisis," Lugo, who is now looking for work, told CPJ. "They are acting like generals in a war who want to censor information so as not to affect the morale of their troops."
Lugo's dismissal sent a chill through the Cadena Capriles building, where reporters from Últimas Noticias and El Mundo share the newsroom. A group of reporters put out a communiqué calling the action "a blow to press freedom" and started the Twitter account @UNsinCensura to give followers an inside view of how they are being pressured to toe the government's line.
Foreign correspondents are not immune to the crackdown. Miami Herald Andes Bureau Chief Jim Wyss was detained on November 11 in San Cristobal, a city on the Colombian border, while he was reporting on the region's flourishing underground economy.
One reason for shortages is that staples like cooking oil, rice, flour, and other goods are smuggled into Colombia where they sell for six or seven times their official price in Venezuela. Wyss tried to interview military officials--who are widely rumored to be involved in the contraband trade--but instead of talking to him they arrested him.
Wyss was flown to Caracas where he was promptly released. Venezuelan officials later claimed he was detained because he had failed to register for journalism credentials from the Ministry of Communications, a step that all visiting foreign correspondents are now required to take for each reporting trip to the country. Wyss, who has been reporting on Venezuela for years, said the episode was troubling.
"My ordeal lasted about 48 hours," Wyss later wrote of his detention. "I was exceptionally lucky. The Miami Herald, the U.S. State Department, airlines, local journalists, and absolute strangers pushed hard for my release. I am grateful to all of them."

InvestorPlace InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
A study of analyst recommendations at the major brokerages shows that Verizon Communications Inc. ( VZ ) is the #24 broker pick, on average, out of the 30 stocks making up the Dow Jones Industrial Average, according to ETF Channel .
Within the broader S&P 500 , when components were ranked in terms of analyst favorites, VZ claims the #362 spot.
In forming this rank, the analyst opinions from the major brokerage houses were tallied, and averaged; then, the underlying components were ranked according to those averages. Investors often interpret analyst opinions from different angles - when companies have a low rank among analysts, it isn't necessarily the case that investors should conclude that the stock will perform poorly.
It can, of course, but a bullish investor could also take the contrarian angle and read into the data that there is lots of room for upside because the stock is so out of favor.

From the other direction, a popular analyst pick could mean that many sharp minds individually came to the same bullish conclusion, and therefore the stock should do well, but it could also mean that if the company stumbles, that would come as a negative surprise.
For these reasons, we at ETF Channel find value to putting together these rankings, because both the top and the bottom ends of the list can often make for some interesting stock picking ideas for further research.

Marvin Greene "Marvin" passed away last night here in Las Vegas.
At this time I do not know the cause of death.
I always enjoyed talking with him on the counter or phone. He was an excellent technician and he always had a great story to tell.
He'll be missed here at JS LV by all the guys and gals who knew him. Our credit manager cried when she heard the news.
R.I.P. Marvin
