At Soccer Stadium on Sunday, no one will care about Jabulani, the World Cup ball that players complained about being too light. No one will be talking about questionable offsides and penalties calls by whistle-happy refs; or soccer giants like Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, and Jozie Altidore, who each departed the tournament without scoring a single goal.
All that matters now is 90 minutes of gutsy soccer played by two evenly matched sides, Spain and the Netherlands, and who is going to win the battle to bring home their first World Cup championship.
"It's an even final between two teams that deserve to be here. We've got good players but so do they," said Spanish coach, Vicente Del Bosque to the AP.
U.S. & World
The Spanish, known for their relentless defense and flawless passing through the midfield, have only given up two goals in the entire tournament: one to Switzerland in their opening match, which they loss; and the other against a talented Chilean attack.
Arguable the best team in the world, Spain has won 30 out of 32 matches coached by Del Bosque, including a 1-0 win over third place Germany.
With striker David Villa and defender Carles Puyol, who headed in the winning goal against Germany, the Spaniards will be difficult to defeat.
But the Netherlands proved they are not to be underestimated by coming from behind to beat powerhouse Brazil 2-1 in the quarterfinals, a feat no team has managed before in a World Cup match.
The Dutch weapons to watch are midfielders, Mark Van Bommel and Wesley Sneijder. Sneijder is tied with Villa for the Golden Boot award at 5 goals in the tournament and Van Bommel is all hustle with strong tackles on the defensive end of the pitch.
In two previous appearances at the World Cup final, 1974 and 1978, the Dutch have gone home empty-handed. Coach Bert Van Marwijk is hoping history will not repeat itself at Soccer Stadium.
"I love attacking and beautiful football," said Van Marwijk , "but you have to work together when the opponent has the ball and then you can go a long way."
Both teams have a strong possession style of play, which indeed will make beautiful soccer.
As far as who will come out as the victor, Paul the "Oracle Octopus" picked Spain. But bet that this final match won't be determined in a fish tank, it will be decided by these two European powers battling it out on the pitch.

What is the most important information I should know about theophylline?
Do not take theophylline in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Theophylline overdose can occur if you accidentally take too much at one time, or if your daily doses are too high. To be sure you are using the correct dose, your blood will need to be tested often.
Do not start or stop smoking without first talking to your doctor. Smoking changes the way your body uses theophylline, and you may need to use a different dose.
Sometimes it is not safe to use certain drugs at the same time. Many drugs can interact with theophylline. Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use. Also tell your doctor if you start or stop using any of your other medications.
Stop using theophylline and call your doctor at once if you have severe or continued vomiting, rapid heartbeats, confusion, tremors, or seizure.
What is theophylline?
Theophylline is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing muscles in the lungs and chest, making the lungs less sensitive to allergens and other causes of bronchospasm.
Theophylline is used to treat symptoms such as wheezing or shortness of breath caused by asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and other breathing problems
Theophylline may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Hi Ian I'd like to thank you once again for your fantastic service with my order. Amy has contacted me today to thank me for the parcel (which has really cheered her up!) I have already recommended you to my sister in law who's friend is emigrating to Perth in 2 weeks! I'll probably be back for more items at Christmas. many many thanks Emma
G-Day Ian Well my package arrived today, and I am chuffed to bits...thank you sooooooooooo much for the extra goodies, 1 has been consumed already with great delight. Nostalga has set in and I am hooked.. I will be back... Thank you once again Very best regards Mandy
Hi Ian Hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas and that you have a great New year. I wanted to say thank you for the items we bought and once again for delivering them. My parents couldn't get over what I bought for them. I made up a stocking with different things and gave them the Quality Street as one of the gifts under the tree. They haven't seen any of those items since leaving the UK in 1986. The Crackers were also a huge hit and we all want them again next year.
Hi Ian Just to let you know that Lynsey has received her chocolates. We'd like to thank you very much. Sounds like you packed them very well with a very nice card. (They had fun with the packaging and the chocolates went down very well too!) Kindest regards
Hi - I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for the VERY prompt service with delivery within 24 hours of my order and 4 days before Christmas! It made my life so very much easier. Many thanks for the excellent service. Kind regards
Dear Ian, Goods received 14th Dec. in perfect order. I ordered the anchovy sauce, the ESSENTIAL ingredient in a delicious meat paste my mother has been making for 57 years. She got the recipe in 1952 from a lady who was then 70. The sauce has become increasingly difficult to get. I live in Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains, NSW [100ks west of Sydney] I found it at our local grocer's shop, but he is finding it more difficult to get too. I thought I might have to get onto Harrod's or Fortum & Mason, but I found Best of British. I'm so pleased I can get this sauce in Australia. Mum's meat paste is great on hot toast or crackers with drinks. It is a great favourite with family and friends. Many thanks to Best of British for making it available.
Hi Ian, Just letting you know that the order arrived safely this morning. French Fancies were yummy for afternoon tea. Thanks for the great service. Kind Regards
Hi Ian, I just wanted to thank you for my order and the extra goodies that you placed into the box for me. I really appreciated your kindness.

Hello Ian, That is fantastic, I only just found your site and will definitely be ordering again in the future - I have been looking for a tin of quality street for years!!! Many thanks,
I would like to express my thanks for the quick and efficient service you provided.

However your company has restored my confidence and would not hesitate to use your company again. Many thanks M Moore

Chemical ground electrodes provide a low impedance ground in locations of high soil resistivity and dry soil conditions. Used in conjunction with a bentonite backfill and nVent ERICO's unique GEM material, the nVent ERICO chemical ground rod electrode systems provide a method to improve soil resistivity directly surrounding the electrode, and can replace multiple conventional ground rods. It maintains a low ground resistance, maintenance-free installation that dissipates lightning energy and other dangerous electrical fault currents, even in sandy or rocky soil conditions.
The chemical ground electrode is useful for providing an effective earth in poor soil conditions where space for electrodes is limited. Applications include telecommunications, power generation and distribution, commercial and industrial, manufacturing, transportation (rail and aviation), lightning protection, recreational facilities, and defense. The nVent ERICO chemical ground rod electrode systems are most effective when installed as part of a total system that includes high conductivity backfill materials, access/inspection wells, and permanent, reliable nVent ERICO Cadweld connections. They may be installed either vertically or horizontally.

Crowdsourced line wait-time forecasting using smartphones
Have you ever been frustrated with the unpredictability of the coffee shop line waiting times? I have, and far too many times. (I am fast growing into a grumpy old man.) I frequent the Tim Hortons coffee shop at our Student Union at University at Buffalo. Sometimes I would walk there to grab a quick mocha only to find a long waiting line and I would have to walk all the way back with empty hands. One day it hit me that this is a perfect opportunity to put our research on crowdsourced coordination and collaboration using smartphones to good use. We proceeded to develop Android and iPhone apps that forecasts the current (and near future) line waiting times at this coffee shop.
In the first version of our app, we asked users to manually provide line wait-times when they are waiting in line and tried to serve other users with the data input by these. Our model was: "if you used our app 5 times to get wait-time forecasted, before you can use it again, we ask you to report the wait time from the coffee-shop". (We checked the accuracy of the report using the localization information from the phone to prevent users to makeup wait-times.) We quickly noticed that this is an extra work for the users and the data arriving from the volunteers is too sparse to serve satisfactory results to the queriers. In the later versions of our service, we automated the line wait-time detection by using the localization capabilities of the smartphones in an energy-efficient manner.
Here is how our service works now. When the user wants to learn the current wait-time for the coffee shop, she fires our app and our app contacts our AWS cloud backend to provide this information. Then our app takes this as a clue that the user is interested in going to the coffee shop and starts tracking the user in the background. (This is done in an energy-efficient manner, the app gets a localization on the user more frequently as the user gets closer to the coffee shop, or else the localization requests gets more spread out and eventually dropped. The phone localization module fuses information from GPS, wifi, and cell tower triangulation to this end.) When the user enters the coffee shop, the app records the arrival timestamp. After the user is served and leaves the coffee shop, the app records the departure timestamp, and transmits this information to the cloud backend as another data point.
The backend stores and processes all the reported data to obtain models for waiting times at the coffee shop. For this, we first devised a solution based on a constrained nearest-neighbor search in a multi-dimensional (week of the year, day of the week, time of the day) space. Later, we improved on this solution by adapting two statistical time-series forecasting methods, namely exponential smoothing and Holt Winters. This actually turned out to be an interesting modeling problem due to the sparseness and false-positives in the collected data. (Some users choose to sit at the coffee shop after being served and this creates false-positives that we need to weed-out.)
Our line wait time forecasting apps for Android and iPhone platforms are downloaded by more than 1000 users in our university, and are used on a daily basis by hundreds of users to monitor the line wait-times of the Tim Hortons coffee shop. (We have recently added Starbucks to our service as well.) And, the punchline is our service provides line wait-time estimates that has mean absolute error of less than 2 minutes!

Specialization: Plant Biotechnology and Genomics
Research Interests:
Somatic embryogenesis is unique to plant cells and is the founding basis of plant totipotency. Our work on wheat leaf bases has indicated that somatic embryogenesis can be induced by brief exposures to 2,4-D. Present investigations concentrate on understanding the auxin-mediated induction of somatic embryogenesis and employs a systems approach to understand the molecular basis of auxin action.
Work on wheat biotechnology is being directed towards obtaining transgenics with genes like bar for herbicide resistance, pin II for insect resistance and HVA1 for drought tolerance in bread and durum wheat. Towards enhancing the nutritional status of this important crop, a sub-project aimed at isolating the vitamin A & E biosynthetic pathway genes from wheat is also underway. As wheat is a temperate crop, it is prone to heat stress during the grain filling stages, hence a program to understand the gene expression profile of wheat under heat stress, at different growth stages. Presently, focus is on understanding the molecular basis of heat tolerance in wheat using comparative genomic approaches. Additionally, physical mapping of chromosome 2A of wheat is in progress under the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (IWGSC).
In the area of Seribiotechnology, regeneration protocols have been established in mulberry (Morus indica) from seedling and mature, field grown tissues and used for raising mulberry transgenics with HVA1, osmotin and bch1 genes which confer tolerance to abiotic stresses. Transcriptomic approaches are being deployed to understand mechanisms of abiotic tolerance in mulberry. The complete chloroplast genome of Morus has been sequenced and comparative genomics approaches used to resolve the taxonomic position of the order Rosales.

A woman's two fallopian tubes lead upward from each upper side of
the uterus and end near the ovaries. When an egg is released by an ovary
(ovulation), it travels down a fallopian tube toward the uterus.
After ovulation, egg fertilization usually happens in a fallopian
tube. The fertilized egg then travels to the uterus, where it implants and
grows. If a woman's fallopian tubes are blocked by scar tissue, such as from
pelvic inflammatory disease, she may be unable to become pregnant or may have a
tubal (ectopic) pregnancy.

FORT MYERS, Fla. –It wouldn't be difficult for a soft but well-spoken young man like Lilburn, Ga., outfielder Josh Hart to get lost in the shuffle among the elite talent that comes out of the East Cobb Baseball operation every year.
But Hart refuses to get lost in that shuffle. And he's remained in the front of the minds of college coaches and professional scouts by getting involved with everything East Cobb and Perfect Game has to offer in terms of exposure and opportunities to perform.
Hart, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound junior at Parkview High School in Lilburn with a smooth left-handed swing, was at the Boston Red Sox Player Development 5-Plex Wednesday morning to participate in the 2011 Perfect Game National Underclass Showcase-Main Event. It marked the 17th Perfect Game event Hart has participated in since he first played for the East Cobb Astros 14u squad at the 2009 WWBA 2013 Grads or 14u National Championship.
Hart, who turned 17 in October and has verbally committed to continue his baseball career at Georgia Tech, is definitely a PG veteran. With 17 events under his belt and counting, he sees no reason to slow down now.
"I think there's more room to improve, physically and mentally," Hart said Wednesday before his PG 2-Texas Orange team played its first game at the National Underclass-Main event. "I'm working on both of those things, staying focused and keeping my mental thoughts in the game. Right now, I think it's working pretty good … and if you can pick up some of the little things, those can help you even more than the big things."
This marks the second straight year Hart has attended this event. His total PG event tally includes 10 PG WWBA tournaments and two PG BCS Finals with various East Cobb Teams, including the 2011 WWBA World Championship with the East Cobb Astros and the 2011 PG WWBA Underclass World Championship with the East Cobb Braves.
"We attend a lot of them," Hart said with a laugh. "Since it's East Cobb, you've got to perform because everybody's done it before you. And from my perspective, as an individual, I'm more of a team captain and I have to show up (ready to lead) basically every game, and I think it's working pretty good."
Hart's individual PG showcase events include the 2010 PG National Underclass Showcase-Main Event and the 2011 PG National Games-Class of 2013 held this August in San Diego. He likes doing both the showcases and the tournaments.
"I don't see any difference," Hart said. "You're working on your (skills) and where you stand right now – we do infield, outfield, BP. But after that it's back for the team and the games."
After attending the PG National Games-Class of 2013, a PG scout offered the following assessment:
"Slender live-bodied build, lots of room to get stronger. Polished leadoff-type hitter, very patient and will work walks. … Very good outfield range, playable arm strength, very accurate throws."
The report also mentions that he is a "good student" as his high school GPA of 3.2 attests. His interest in schoolwork proved beneficial to Georgia Tech's efforts to land him in Atlanta.
"That whole environment and they have a great baseball program," Hart said. "Plus, I just love the whole site – the coaching staff they're like family. And outside of baseball, I kind of want to get into business and marketing, and I'm pretty good at physics too, so I'm looking into that."
Playing within the East Cobb Baseball organization, Hart is constantly surrounded by top-notch talent, including showcase events where East Cobb often sends entire team units. The PG 2-Texas Orange that Hart is playing with this week complements the PG 7-Texas Orange that features so many other East Cobb top prospects.
Third baseman Travis Demeritte, the nation's No. 8-ranked prospect in the 2013 class, isn't here this week but played with Hart on the top-ranked East Cobb Braves at this year's PG WWBA Underclass World Championship.
Another guy who gets a lot of notice is first baseman Jacob Heyward, the younger brother of big-leaguer Jason Heyward of the Atlanta Braves and the nation's No. 68-ranked prospect. Jacob Heyward is on the PG 7-Texas Orange squad along with 2014 stud OF/1B Kel Johnson – ranked 41st nationally in his class – and 2015 Dazmon Cameron, an outfielder who is the son of big-leaguer Mike Cameron.
Hart, the nation's No. 31-ranked prospect in the 2013 class, is joined on the PG 2-Texas Orange roster by top 2013 right-hander Hunter Anglin, 2014 righty Blake Hamilton and 2014 left-hander Andrew Maxwell. All of these guys played on one of the two teams East Cobb sent to the PG WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla., in October.
"Being surrounded by these other great players brings out the best in me, too," Hart said. "They're superior, they're high caliber – I learn from them and they learn from me and it works like that and I think it's working out pretty good so far. This summer me and Travis were on the East Cobb Braves and we had a talk – 'Give me some advice and I'll help you out with adjustments before the game.'"
Hart plans on continuing to play for East Cobb Baseball in Perfect Game events throughout 2012 and the first few months of 2013. It's quite possible his two-year total of 17 PG events could double by the time he graduates from high school in May of 2013. He will always remain grateful that he was invited to become a part of the East Cobb family.
"It's an opportunity and a privilege, and if you have that talent, they'll find you," he said. "It will give you a lot of exposure – there are a lot of scouts coming thought and we go to a lot of big (Perfect Game) tournaments, such as this one, you know? It's a good feeling being on the team."
And as a "seasoned" 17-year-old veteran, Hart will continue to see incomparable value at events like this week's PG National Underclass-Main Event.
"I'm trying to see where my abilities are right now," Hart said. "You see a lot of high caliber pitching (here) and you've got to get ready for high school-ball pitching. Plus, just getting together – it's the last time seeing your friends until summer – and get better and progress on the way."
And never get lost in the shuffle.

Bella was my very first horse (pony?) purchased in my mid-20's with my first non-horse job paycheck. She was 4, barely broke but quiet to ride and I thought she'd be a fun re-sale project. I'd trained numerous horses for other people and wanted the chance to train my own. At 14.3 she wasn't ideal for the H/J crowd but I hoped she would enjoy eventing.
I spent a year putting the basics on her and started showing her the following year. She just got better and better and I kept putting off marketing her for sale, saying I'd just get to the next level, or get her changes more solid, or work towards this year end award. I learned SO MUCH from her. Riding skills such as dealing with a bolt, sticking a dirty stop and staying with a horse that jumps as high as the standards as well as horse care issues like Lyme's disease, scratches and lymphangitis. Great memories of cantering bareback through the snow, jumping my first 3'6" course, grinning around my first Training Level cross-country course, taking a nap with her in the field and even the not-so-great memories of falls, escapes and naughty moments – these all mean the world to me and I wouldn't trade one minute of the time I had with her.
But as I progressed as a rider she started to plateau and I knew my goals and aspirations were beyond her abilities. The thought of selling her brought tears to my eyes so I decided to put it off for a while and I leased her to a friend of a friend who was looking for a horse to learn dressage and low-level eventing on. She and Bella got on like a house on fire and I was extremely impressed that my fire-breathing feisty pony had settled down to near-packer status. I visited occasionally and started the search for a new horse, and over time became accustomed to not having her in my daily life. So Bella is now owned by someone else, but I will never forget her, I'll still visit occasionally and I will be forever grateful for all she brought to my life.

It is cold outside. Or better: it's freezing. And I don't like to be cold, nor do I like anything to be cold. Least of all the weather when I have to get up in the morning and go to work. Give me cold, crispy air on a prolonged weekend I can spend in bed. Now that's my kind of cold. That I can live with. Especially when I can wrap myself in a cozy blanket, have food in bed, enjoy a pot of hot tea and have a pile of films or a new TV show to binge-watch. Of course, I have some favorites but new gems always find a way on my shelves in mysterious ways. So here it is, my list of recommendations for anyone who, like yours truly, is in touch with her inner bear and craves to hibernate in a comfy cave. Don't give freezer burn a chance and enjoy a good flick instead!

Remake News of the Day
Ever since Hawaii 5-0 has been rebooted, producers are trying to jump on the bandwagon of remake success. Only most of them don't make it and fall on their fannies instead. Ironside, Charlie's Angels and Dallas (which was just recently canceled) are recent examples of a trend that's not new but feels increasingly overdone.
I know, I know. Battlestar Galactica did fairly well and Matthew Perry may actually surprise us as Oscar Madison in the revival of the Odd Couple. But what do I hear is in the works now for NBC? A Bewitched spin-off focusing on Samantha's granddaughter? I'm stunned. Didn't the movie version scar us deeply enough?!
Goody-bye, Polly Bergen, and thanks for the laughs!
Polly Bergen has died. One of my favorite funny ladies. And a wonderful singer, too.
Here are some of my favorite moments with her: film clips, TV appearances and recordings. In memory of a grand dame, always outspoken, genuine and entertaining.
Let's Have a Break
Life's been busy and I need some some fun,
Some feel-good music to whistle along.
Dave Brubeck, get your quartet, this is your cue:
Floyd Cramer, you're up next to boost my mood.
International TV
I don't know about you, but apart from classic TV made in the US, I've always enjoyed exploring shows from other countries, predominantly from Australia and New Zealand, Canada, Israel, South America and Europe. Pride & Prejudice made me fall in love with Colin Firth in 1995, Bleak House turned me into a Dickens addict 10 years later and that same year, Slings & Arrows reassured me that my stage experiences were not unique. Some of these international shows have since been made available on DVD, others were remade in the States including The Bridge, The Killing, Hatufim (US: Homeland), Be Tipul (US:In Treatment) , Mistresses and House of Cards.
It's a matter of personal taste whether or not you like a reboot. In some cases I did not, in others I did. No matter how much I have liked (or disliked) an original show though, the remake often missed a crucial ingredient, something the American version never seems to quite get. It's not only the appeal of a foreign setting and culture or the sound of a different language, it's the different approach to storytelling, or better, differing aesthetics. Each year, the market is flooded by American productions with silly or crude characters and storylines that all too often jump the shark. Despite this unfortunate development (unfortunate at least to me, not the industry itself it seems), my heart beats for a good TV series and I'm happy that this up-coming season, two new American productions actually got my attention: Madam Secretary starring Téa Leonie and Matthew Perry's update of The Odd Couple.
Madam Secretary may fill a gap I've longed to fill since The West Wing ended, The Good Wife lost its vibe and The Newsroom did not live up to my expectations. Judging by the first look trailer, this show may be my kind of treat, the kind of show that has the potential follow into the footsteps of my favorite Danish series, Borgen.
Borgen has what a lot of international shows of my liking have in common: a wonderful cast, a smart female character, crafty writers, witty dialogue, intelligent storylines and a distinctive design. For three seasons, Borgen was highly addictive without leaning on the soapy side like Britain's Downton Abbey. That's not to say I wouldn't enjoy ITV's period drama, Maggie Smith is starring in it after all. But given the choice, I prefer stories without unnecessary malice or personal drama blown out of proportion.
James Garner
When I heard the news about James Garner's death, I was unable to make an entry on Talking Classics. However, I was saddened by the news but glad to have come across a good selection of his work since.
He was one of those actors who always entertained me, on television and on the silver screen. I liked him on Maverick and The Rockford Files, loved seeing him in multiple Westerns or quarreling with Doris Day. I enjoyed him alongside Julie Andrews, guest starring on shows such as Chicago Hope or as a regular on 8 Simple Rules. As an old man, he made me smile in Space Cowboys and cry in The Notebook. In interviews, he always came across as a likable human being, as someone who did not take his career for granted or saw himself as the center of the universe. He was married once, for 58 years, an avid sports fan and a veteran of the Korean War. He worked several jobs before he started acting at the age of 25 without formal training but a lot of life experience instead. For his natural talent, he was rewarded with an Academy Award nomination, three Golden Globes and two Emmy awards.
On July 19, James Garner died at the age of 86 in his home in Los Angeles. He will long be remembered for his genuine career as well as his support for the University of Oklahoma – and, thanks to the internet, for the smart and funny things he had to say about it.

Schuster Institute fellow launches new book on 'The Business of Baby'
Talk will be held at Back Pages Books May 9
Jennifer Margulis, an award-winning author and senior fellow at the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis, will discuss her new book, "The Business of Baby" (April 2013, Scribner) at Back Pages Books Thursday.
Her book addresses whether American doctors and hospitals are choosing corporate interests over the health of mothers and babies. Using a combination of investigative reporting and personal narrative, Margulis shows that commonly accepted "best practices" in pregnancy and infant care, including routine and frequent ultrasound examinations, C-sections, and potty-training timelines, often are not based on evidence-based medical research but instead are unduly influenced by corporate profit margins and may be putting the health of infants and mothers at risk. Other disturbing findings come to light involving ultrasound scans and circumcision procedures, hospital reporting that should be mandatory, but is not, and more.
Her East Coast book launch will be held Back Pages Books at 289 Moody St., Waltham, on Thursday, May 9, at 7 p.m. She will discuss research she did and mothers and doctors she talked to who informed "The Business of Baby." Books will be available for purchase and signing. Light refreshments will be served.

Church History
It was founded in 1863. It is now closed and has been demolished, but we do not know the date of closure.
The Primitive Methodist church was an early 19th century (1807) secession from the Wesleyan Methodist church and was particularly successful in evangelising agricultural and industrial communities at open meetings. In 1932 the Primitive Methodists joined with the Wesleyan Methodists and the United Methodists to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain.

Constitutional Sheriffs have an Ecclesiastical "lawyer"
I recently wrote about the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association holding a Las Vegas convention that, among other things, taught sheriffs they could and should "stand tall against the tyranny of the federal government." http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_19946455
Some readers did more homework on the organization and alerted me to the interesting background of the Constitutional Sheriffs' legal advisor.
Judge Navin-Chandra Naidu's bio, which is displayed prominently on the the Constitutional Sheriffs website, includes some lofty-sounding credentials – Chief Legal Counsel for the Sultanate of Sulu, International Affairs Advisor for the Nato Indian Nation in Utah, Founder of the Word In Action Ministry Law College in Seattle, Wash. (where it's possible to get a law degree in 18 months) and Special International Counsel to the Kayan Dynasty in China.
Among his accomplishments, he lists the establishment of the Ecclesiastical Court of Justice and Law Offices. Naidu's website for that august body states that Believers (with a capital B) can basically operate outside the laws created by men as long as they follow Biblical law.
A little Internet digging on Naidu turns up the facts that he was arrested in Fiji in 2001 for forging a law degree. That degree showed he graduated from the University of London, but the Fiji Law Society found that he supposedly graduated two months after he enrolled there. Naidu was deported to the United States where he appears to be an American Bar Association member but is not currently licensed to practice law in two states where he has lived or in Texas where the Constitutional Sheriffs organization is based. Naidu also made headlines in Kuala Lumpur for lodging a complaint against George W. Bush for murder and genocide. His complaint asked for a settlement of $150 billion.
This is the legal advisor who is helping to direct the causes espoused by the Constitutional Sheriffs organization that was founded by former Arizona sheriff Richard Mack. The major point of that organization is that county sheriffs hold supreme power in their counties and that they need to protect their citizens from interloping feds, whether they be Forest Service rangers or FBI agents.
After looking at the information out there on the sheriffs' legal advisor, all I can say at this point is "hmmmm."
