Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
"There are eight gates for Paradise and seven gates for the Fire." said the Prophet (pbuh).
The saying of praise for Allah, "Al-Hamdu Lil-lahi," has eight alphabets*; the number of the gates of Paradise is also eight, therefore he who recites these eight alphabets out of purity of heart does deserve (the opening of) the eight gates of Paradise.
Know that indeed there are eight gates for Paradise, and in the rank that you reach after reciting, "I take refuge in Allah from Shaytan the outcast…" one gate of the eight gates of Paradise opens for you; that is the gate of Ma'refa (Divine Gnosis).
A second gate is that of al-Dhikr (Remembrance) as you are reciting 'Bismil-lahir Rahmanir Rahim'.
The third gate is that of Shukr (Gratitude) after reciting 'Al-Hamdu Lil-Lahi Rabbil Alamin'.
The fourth gate is that of Hope when you recite 'Ar-Rahanir Rahimi'.
The fifth gate is that of Fear when you recite 'Maliki Yaumid-Din'.
The sixth gate is that of Purity born out of the Ma'refa (Divine Gnosis) of 'Ubudiat (Servitude) and Rububiat (Divinity) in your reciting 'Iyyaka Na'budu Wa Iyyaka Nasta'inu'.
The seventh gate is that of Du'a (Invocation) in your reciting 'Ihdinas Siratal Mustaqim'.
The eighth gate is that of 'Iqtidā' (emulation or following the example) of the good and pure souls, and of seeking guidance through their Nur (Divine Light) and that is in your reciting of 'Siratal La-Dhina…'
Now you know the secrets of the Eight Gates of Paradise and what is referred to in 38:50. 'The Gardens of Eden with opened gates for them'. For the Gardens of Divine Gnosis have been opened by these spiritual keys, and this does point to what happens during the Prayer of Spiritual Ascension, like that of the Prophet (pbuh) to the Heavens.
– From the Tasfir al-Kabir (The Great Commentary), al-Fatiha, verse 7, by Fahkr al-Din al-Razi (his exegesis on the Quran), also named the Mafatih al-Ghayb (The Keys to the Unknown).

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for March 2009.
This is my first post so pardon me if it's rusty. I just want to share with you my thoughts from my quiet time and I hope that you could do the same. Like most Christians, I experience constant struggles and I know how it would be extremely helpful to have someone along to share our pains, insights and stories.
As I was doing my quiet time this morning, I realized that my Bible reading centered on one theme: HOPE. I am just starting my annual Bible reading finishing the first 6 chapters of the Bible. I have read through the book of Genesis perhaps more than 10 times in my lifetime mostly due to my Christian school background. But this morning was different. It was as if I was reading the Scripture for the very first time.
First realization was – we were created for God's pleasure. This is quite a revelation even after reading THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE. Anyway, looking at the Creation and all of the processes and thought that came into it – there was really no reason for God to create man except that it pleased Him. I was just thinking – like a child creating a paper boat out of an old newspaper, the purpose of our existence is simply to please God. I could just imagine how frustrated God is as a Creator with all of the disappointments and hurts we gave Him. But more than that, I am amazed with how He fell in love with us that even with all of the pain and frustrations – He kept us and loved us.
I remember how I usually hold on to things because of memories. Even when I cannot use the object anymore, I would hold on to it because of the pleasure and memories it gave. However, no matter how attached the object is to me, I would eventually throw it or give it away. That is the normal relationship between the creator and the creation. Imagine how great God's love for us to give up His Son to make us worthy to be saved from being thrown away. Rather than looking at our elaborate plans to fulfill our life mission, perhaps, it will be better if we just focus on our single, most important purpose and live it every single day of our lives and fulfill it on every single thing that we do: to bring pleasure (delight, joy, happiness, fulfillment) to God. Maybe it's just as simple as doing our tasks the best way possible, making an effort to clean the environment, helping an elderly cross the street or just making our day as productive as possible.
One interesting story that I focused on was the story of Cain. Most of us would remember Cain as the evil brother who killed Abel. Well, Cain's story can mean a lot of things. When I read it today, I saw a beautiful and touching love story.
One revelation from Cain's story is HOPE. After murder, Cain's life have turned upside down. He was an outcast. A murderer. He can be easily judged with death. But God offered him an alternative. God offered Cain a new life – it may be a life outside of his old one but a new one nonetheless. In a way, God might have said.. "Hey, we cannot change the past…what you have done in the past…but here's a new life – take it and start anew. Your life does not end here."
Cain's story shows many lessons. But this morning – it showed me the reality of God's immeasurable love. When God threw Cain from Eden – Cain pleaded that he will not be given a mark because the men who will recognize him will try to kill him for vengeance. God did not only command that no man should kill Cain but also gave a consequence – that if anyone should kill Cain, he shall be avenged seven-fold. This much work for a murderer! God offered a new start for Cain! It is not only forgiveness but great love! It's as if God was saying, "Go ahead my child, start a new life with Me and I will guarantee that no man will harm you."
If God can love us like that – then we have eternal hope. There is hope to change our bad ways, quit our vices, resist temptation, break our bondage, restore broken relationships and such forth. God has not only given us an avenue to do so through Jesus but has also shown Himself that He will love us no matter what.
There are new developments to the administration of this site. For your info, I originally intended this blog as a chronological sharing of my quiet times. However, I decided that there are times that one subject may be more timely or of the essence or I am just more excited to share. So there, don't be surprised that there will be times when I will be jumping back and forth from one chapter or book.

The Network for Human Rights Documentation – Burma (ND-Burma) released a new report in Bangkok today, documenting the Government of Burma's use of torture and ill treatment against its own people since the November 2010 elections.
"The international community has been applauding the government for recent gestures towards change; essentially they are praising the government for continuing to violate the fundamental rights of the people of Burma," said Twan Zaw from All Arakan Students' and Youths' Congress and a leader of ND-Burma's Advocacy Team. "For there to be a real progress towards genuine democracy, the government must address the lack of domestic legislation against torture, the absence of an independent judiciary and the current system of impunity."
The report, "Extreme Measures: Torture and Ill Treatment in Burma since the 2010 Elections," presents the findings of ND-Burma member organizations, who in 2011 documented 371 cases of human rights violations across the country. Eighty-three of these cases constitute torture and ill treatment, violations that happen in two distinct places: detention centers where political prisoners are interrogated and held, and ethnic nationality areas where the Burma Army is actively engaged in armed conflict.
"There are still 471 political prisoners in Burma, with another 465 whose whereabouts are being verified. Even one political prisoner would be too many. As long as people are being detained for their political beliefs, tortured, and denied medical attention, democracy will not be possible in our country," said Min Min, a former political prisoner and member of the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners – Burma.
"It is very difficult for a woman to overcome the suffering after being tortured through sexual abuse. After the immediate physical pain, they must also face severe psychological suffering, which is made worse because these women can see that Burma Army troops enjoy impunity after committing such sexual abuses against women, particularly in the ethnic areas where the armed conflict is active, such as in Northern Shan State and Kachin State," said Hkawng Seng Pan from the Kachin Women's Association – Thailand.
The new report concludes with a comprehensive set of recommendations to the Government of Burma, the people of the country, the international community, Asian regional governments, the National Human Rights Commission of Burma, members of the Upper and Lower Houses of Parliament and international financial institutions.
The full report is available to download here. ND-Burma has also produced a documentary in both Burmese and English to complement the report. The videos are available here.

This looked simple as we thought of using FORMAT function, but we could not find the option to include milliseconds in FORMAT function. We spent a couple of hours going thru different blogs but most of them stopped with seconds.

January at the Court: In Plain English
The last few weeks have been busy ones at the Court, what with Justice Kagan"™s first opinion, vocal dissents from the denial of cert. from Justices Scalia and Thomas, and oral arguments in some key cases, just to name a few highlights.
Let"™s start with a recurring theme of the last few weeks: The Court and women. Several commentators have noted that the Court looks and feels somewhat different with three female Justices; in a published interview, even Justice O"™Connor commented that her first visit to the Court with three women on the bench felt "pretty amazing." According to Justice O"™Connor, "[I]n terms of having the American people look at the court and think of it as being fair and appropriate for our nation, it helps to have women, plural, on the court." But what about female advocates? Are they well represented at the Court too? Not really, as men appear as lawyers at the Court five times more often than women, perhaps "" according to some women who argue regularly there "" because the highly rigorous job can be hard to combine with parenthood, for example. Still, more and more women are obtaining prestigious positions in the law, a trend that may lead to more female Supreme Court specialists and even more female Justices.
And, speaking of female Justices: Justice Kagan, the newest Justice, handed down her first opinion last week in Ransom v. FIA Card Services. As is typical for a Justice"™s first opinion, the case was not especially controversial; however, although first opinions are often unanimous, Justice Scalia dissented here, perhaps signaling a long future of disagreement between the two Justices at opposite ends of the ideological spectrum? With many more opinions to come, in both this Term and future Terms, Court watchers will certainly be interested in how this particular relationship develops.
Other opinions have started to come down fast and furious, with several in the last few weeks alone. Last week, in Mayo Foundation v. United States, the Court held unanimously that medical residents are employees, not students, even though they continue learning while they are employed. Why was the issue important? Well, if the residents were classified as students, hospitals would not have to pay payroll taxes for them, thereby saving a lot of money.
On Wednesday, the Court decided three cases, also unanimously (although without Justice Kagan, who did not participate in any of the cases because she had been involved in them in her previous role as the U.S. Solicitor General) . In NASA v. Nelson, the Court "" in an opinion by Justice Alito "" held that NASA could constitutionally do background checks on independent government contractors. Although the Court assumed that there is a right to informational privacy, it still held that questions about a history of counseling, drug treatment, or drug use did not violate any such right because they were reasonable. Justice Scalia filed a opinion concurring in the judgment "" which means that he agreed with the result that the Court reached "" but he criticized the notion of informational privacy as having no support in the text of the Constitution; his concurrence was pointed and fiery, in a style that Nina Totenberg of NPR called "[c]lassic Scalia."
In Harrington v. Richter, the Court reversed a decision of the Ninth Circuit in holding that a criminal defense lawyer was not constitutionally deficient "" in other words, he did a good enough job that the constitutional right to counsel was satisfied "" when he did not consult blood evidence in forming his trial strategy. Why? According to Justice Kennedy, who wrote the majority opinion, because a reasonable lawyer might have declined to consider the blood evidence, even though most lawyers probably would have looked at it closely. In her concurring opinion, Justice Ginsburg agreed that a good lawyer probably would take the blood evidence into account when deciding on trial strategy. However, she noted that because the prosecution"™s case was extremely strong even without the blood, Richter probably would have been convicted even if his lawyer had taken the evidence into account.
And in Premo v. Moore, the Court unanimously reversed the Ninth Circuit a third time, holding that Randy Moore"™s lawyer, who failed to challenge his client"™s murder confession, still acted competently. As I explained after the oral argument here, Moore had accepted a plea bargain and was sentenced accordingly, but later challenged his sentence by saying that his lawyer should have tried to have the confession suppressed. Because the lawyer failed to do so, Moore argued, he was deprived of his Sixth Amendment right to effective counsel. Unfortunately for Moore, the Court not only held that his lawyer acted as a reasonable lawyer might, but it noted that he was not prejudiced by the admission of the confession, even if the confession was improperly elicited.
As Ed Whelan noted, the Supreme Court unanimously reversed three decisions by the Ninth Circuit on the same day. The observation is interesting in that it reveals three common SCOTUS patterns: reversal of the lower court"™s decision, reversal of the Ninth Circuit specifically, and unanimity among the Justices. Many people do not realize that the Supreme Court reverses far more often than it affirms; in fact, many Court watchers speculate that the Justices consider whether the lower court "got it right" when deciding whether or not to review a case in the first place. If the lower court was wrong, the theory goes, the Court will want to grant cert. to rectify the situation. However, even when the Court votes to affirm the lower court, such cases may be regarded as a good use of the Court"™s limited resources if they resolve a circuit split "" disagreements between the federal courts of appeals "" or present an important constitutional issue.
As for the Ninth Circuit, statistics show that it is one of the federal courts of appeals that is most often reversed. No one knows exactly why the Ninth Circuit is reversed so often, but some scholars and judges attribute the high reversal rate to the fact that it has more judges than any other federal appellate court, leading to inconsistent rulings and some "outlier" judges, while others chalk it up to a fundamental ideological disagreement between the Ninth Circuit and the Court.
And what about unanimity? Well, contrary to popular belief, the Justices agree with each other the majority of the time "" in about forty-seven percent of the cases last Term, for example "" and far more often than they split by a vote of five to four (which occurred in only nineteen percent of last Term"™s cases). Therefore, it is not surprising that all of these cases were unanimous "" and it is even less surprising that they were unanimous in reversing the Ninth Circuit.
There are no arguments at the Court next week "" or indeed any at all until the end of February. Because it will likely be a much quieter week at the Court, then, I will use my next Plain English post to review the January arguments.

"I remember from my childhood days what the crossing guards did. I felt it was a group of people who go above and beyond every day for the most precious commodity that we have—our children," Miller said. "These guys put themselves in the way of cars and stop traffic so that children can safely cross the street. I've seen them action a lot of times, even putting out their hands to stop rolling cars in some instances."
A host of awards were issued, including an Assembly Citation for superior dedication to duty for crossing guard Lisa Aimi, who while on duty at an intersection near St. Pancras, provided vital details leading to the arrest of a suspect in the robbery of a CVS near her post.
Miller has been advocating for the Crossing Guard Safety Act, a bill drafted by Assemblyman Michael DenDekker that he co-sponsored last year, which is aimed at holding those who intentionally endanger crossing guards to face stiffer penalties.
Currently, Local 372 President Santos Crespo, Jr. is also working with the mayor's office to push through raises for crossing guards across the city after eight years of inattention from the Bloomberg administration.
"We are very close to a contract," Crespo said optimistically. "There will be some raises, some retroactively, and it should be completed by September at some point moving into October. They are moving a lot faster than we thought they would."

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
The corporate logo of Sleep Train, the first business to remove its advertising from Rush Limbaugh's show. [Source: Argyle News]Advertisers begin pulling their advertisements from the radio show hosted by Rush Limbaugh in response to Limbaugh's repeated verbal attacks on Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke (see February 29, 2012, March 1, 2012, and March 2, 2012). The day before, Representative Jackie Speier (D-CA) made the following statement: "So I say to the women in this country, do something about this. I say to the women of this country, ask Century 21, Quicken Loans, LegalZoom, and Sleep Number to stop supporting the hate-mongering of Rush Limbaugh and if they do not do that, then I ask them to boycott those companies." The first to withdraw its ads is mattress retailer Sleep Train, which says a barrage of angry complaints by its customers via Twitter led to its decision. Another bed manufacturer, Select Comfort/Sleep Number, follows suit within hours, posting on its own Twitter account: "Recent comments by Rush Limbaugh do not align w/our values, so we made decision to immediately suspend all advertising on that program." A steadily increasing number of companies and organizations begin either canceling or suspending their ads, some on a national basis (i.e. via Limbaugh's employer, Premiere Radio Networks, and that firm's owner, Clear Channel) and some with local radio stations or regional radio networks. Some of the companies pulling their ads include Quicken Loans (which blames Limbaugh's "continued inflammatory comments" for its decision), JCPenney, Capital One, AOL (formerly America Online), Citrix, LegalZoom, ProFlowers, Tax Resolution Services, Stamps.com, Polycom Federal, Vitacost, Sensa, and a number of local businesses. [Think Progress, 3/2/2012; MSNBC, 3/2/2012; New York Times, 3/2/2012; MSNBC, 3/2/2012; Joan McCarter, 3/2/2012; Think Progress, 3/2/2012; Think Progress, 3/5/2012; Think Progress, 3/6/2012; Think Progress, 3/6/2012] The online data security firm Carbonite pulls its advertising from Limbaugh's show, with CEO David Friend writing on Carbonite's Facebook page and later on its blog: "No one with daughters the age of Sandra Fluke, and I have two, could possibly abide the insult and abuse heaped upon this courageous and well-intentioned young lady. Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency. Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology (see March 3, 2012), we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show. We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse." [Carbonite, 3/2/2012] On March 5, the national retailer Sears and men's outfitter Bonobos also drop their advertising. Sears, which also owns Kmart, posts the following on Twitter: "Sears and Kmart did not intentionally advertise on the Rush Limbaugh show. Sears Holdings has taken actions to ensure our ads do not run on this show. We appreciate our customers, fans, and followers and thank you for your business." [Think Progress, 3/5/2012] Denying Advertising Connections - Capital One, Domino's Pizza, eHarmony, AutoZone, LifeQuotes, Oreck, and a number of other firms deny having bought ad time on Limbaugh's show, with some noting that due to the nature of the type of advertising they have bought, their ads could have been aired during Limbaugh's show without their knowledge. Many of these firms promise to take action to ensure that their ads do not air during Limbaugh's show in the future. [Think Progress, 3/2/2012; MSNBC, 3/2/2012; New York Times, 3/2/2012; MSNBC, 3/2/2012; Joan McCarter, 3/2/2012; Think Progress, 3/2/2012] Errors, Lack of Control over Advertising - The non-profit organization Goodwill explains that ads for its organization that ran on a Washington, DC-area Limbaugh broadcast were aired in error, stating: "The Goodwill public service announcement… aired without Goodwill's knowledge or consent. No further Goodwill public service announcements will be aired without our permission.… The PSA [public service announcement] that aired was intended for a DC-area music station but a sister station that airs Rush Limbaugh ran the PSA without our knowledge or consent." Amberen, a small company that produces a fat-reduction supplement, explains that it cannot pull its advertising from Limbaugh's broadcasts on local radio stations, saying: "We understand that some of our customers are concerned that Amberen ads are still airing on the Rush Limbaugh show. Lunada Biomedical assures you that we take these concerns to heart! Most of our employees, including the CEO, are female. And like millions of other Americans we were outraged by Rush Limbaugh's incendiary and offensive comments. However, we are a small company that buys remnant (leftover) media time and, as such, we cannot, by definition, be considered the 'sponsors' of Mr. Limbaugh's show or, for that matter, any other show. Because we purchase this leftover airtime in bulk, we have no control over when and where our ads are going to be aired. Nor do we have the ability to 'pull' ads from any specific show. The only way for us to do that would be to put our entire advertising campaign on hold. Again, because we are a 'remnant' and not a 'premium' advertiser, this action will exert no influence on Mr. Limbaugh's show." Several companies, such as insurance giants Allstate and Geico, home remodeling service provider ServiceMagic.com, weight loss seller RightSize, and online film and DVD rental outlet Netflix, say they do not advertise on Limbaugh's broadcasts, and any ads airing during his show were placed in error by local radio stations.

With three days before the Treasury's borrowing limit runs out, Congress is starting to think about how —and if — to raise it.
But rest assured they will raise it.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has said that by Friday the nation's bank won't be able to borrow money to pay its bills. If Congress doesn't authorize the Treasury to borrow more, the nation risks defaulting on its debt.
Republicans in Congress are debating amongst themselves on what, if anything, they should exact as a concession for voting alongside Democrats to raise the debt ceiling for the second time in four months.
They're tossing ideas around in the media this week such as trying to repeal a provision in Obamacare that pays insurance companies money if enough people don't sign up, or tying into the deal a requirement that Obama OKs the controversial Keystone Pipeline.
It's an echo of a debate the party had in October during the government shutdown, when tea party Republicans like Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas called for a repeal of Obamacare in exchange for funding the government and raising the debt ceiling.
And while some of that talk is certainly going on this time around, Republicans will likely come around in the next few days and vote to raise the debt ceiling for one simple reason: Republican leaders don't want to take a hit in the polls again, especially in an election year.
Polls after the shutdown showed Americans largely blamed Republicans for October's brinksmanship over the debt ceiling. After a temporary deal was signed through February, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has hinted he doesn't want to get involved with any major showdown again.
"There's no sense picking a fight we can't win," Boehner allegedly told his colleagues in a private meeting this week, according to Roll Call newspaper.
Of course, nothing is certain in politics. But when it comes to raising the debt ceiling, Washington has shown it's less likely to take chances.

When you give a symbolic Humane Gift this holiday season, you are supporting the life-saving work of Humane Society International. Humane Gifts is a symbolic program that allows you to give meaningful gifts to your friends and family -- or simply as your way of helping animals for this occasion.
Help provide direct response and relief to animals affected by disasters.
Rabies is a terrible disease that causes suffering and death among both street animals and humans. And living in such close proximity of each other, especially in developing countries, leads to an even higher number of rabies cases. But you can make a difference to stop the spread -- and to help animals around the globe -- with a special gift today.
The international wildlife trade threatens the survival of many species. Birds throughout Latin America are often ripped from their nests -- before they're even able to survive without their family -- to be sold as exotic pets on the black market. Other animals like monkeys and lions suffer the same fate. HSI is fighting this inhumane industry. With your donation today you can help these and other animals around the globe.
Dogs, rabbits, mice, monkeys and other animals are still used in painful and invasive research, even though non-animal testing methods are widely available and proven to be far more reliable for humans. HSI is at the forefront of this movement to end the cruelty for good. With your special gift, you'll join thousands of others in speaking up for animals around the globe.
When disasters like floods, typhoons, and earthquakes strike, HSI's Animal Rescue Team works with affected communities, providing support for animals and the people who care for and rely on them. Please help us continue this crucial work with your special gift today that will support all of our lifesaving programs.
On large-scale factory farms, pregnant pigs are confined to cages so small they're unable to turn around for months. They have their piglets are taken away from them. Mother cows are constantly impregnated to produce milk, and their male babies are killed for veal. The cruelty is relentless. Please help make it stop with a gift today.
Animals everywhere need our voices to speak up for their protection. That is the mission of HSI -- to protect all animals from cruelty and neglect wherever it occurs, around the world. Your generous gift makes the life-saving work of Humane Society International possible. ($5 minimum gift)

NEW YORK (AP) -- Cracks have appeared in evangelical support for Donald Trump over the video of his sexually predatory comments about women. But backing from some of his most high-profile conservative Christian endorsers, such as Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr., is holding.
Among those reversing course was well-known theologian Wayne Grudem, whose endorsement was widely cited by other Christians backing the Republican presidential nominee. The prominent evangelical magazine, Christianity Today, on Monday said Trump was "the very embodiment of what the Bible calls a fool." James MacDonald, of Harvest Bible Church in Illinois and a member of Trump's evangelical advisory board, called the candidate's remarks "misogynistic trash." The pastor told the magazine he would no longer work with the campaign unless Trump repents.
Popular evangelist and author Beth Moore tweeted that she was among many women who had been sexually abused or harassed, and "we're tired of it." That behavior, she warned, becomes more acceptable "when some Christian leaders don't think it's that big a deal."
Katelyn Beaty, author of "A Woman's Place," and a former managing editor at Christianity Today magazine, said Moore's comments indicate evangelical women are becoming more wary of Trump, "especially as it relates to the ways he consistently talks about and treats women."
But James Dobson, of Family Talk radio, condemned Trump's comments, but called Clinton's support for abortion rights "criminal."
"Mr. Trump promises to support religious liberty and the dignity of the unborn. Mrs. Clinton promises she will not," Dobson said in a statement Monday.
Falwell Jr., an early endorser of the real estate magnate, said Trump's remarks were "reprehensible." Still, Falwell said, "we're never going to have a perfect candidate," and suggested the video leak was engineered by Trump's enemies in his own party.
"I think it was timed," Falwell told WABC-AM radio in New York. "I think it might have even been a conspiracy, you know, among the establishment Republicans who've known about it for weeks and who tried to time it to do the maximum damage."
Others who reaffirmed their endorsements were Ralph Reed, founder of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, which aims to mobilize conservative Christian voters, and televangelist Pat Robertson, who dismissed Trump's remarks as an attempt by the candidate "to look like he's macho."
On the video released Friday, Trump is heard describing attempts to have sex with a married woman and bragging that women let him grab their genitals because he is famous. Responding to the leak, Trump said, "I was wrong," to make those comments, but dismissed them as "locker room talk."
Conservative Christian support for Trump has confounded those inside and outside evangelicalism. Trump is a casino mogul who was married three times, said he didn't need to ask God for forgiveness, mocked a disabled reporter and alluded to his penis size during a debate. Early on, prominent evangelicals, including Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Christian author Max Lucado, warned evangelicals against Trump.
Still, as the year progressed and the large pool of GOP primary contenders dwindled, it became clear that white conservative Christians were coalescing behind the candidate. Recent polls show the GOP presidential nominee drawing about 70 percent of the white evangelical vote.
Although some evangelicals defended Trump's character, many couched their endorsements in pragmatic terms, focused on Trump's promise that he will appoint conservative justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Laura Olson, a Clemson University political scientist, said this support can be seen in part as payback for evangelical losses in the so-called culture wars. Many conservative Christians see the roots of their failure in the policies of President Bill Clinton. In 1993, days into his first term in the White House and on the 20th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Clinton signed an executive order abolishing some restrictions on abortion.
Younger evangelicals likely don't remember that far back. But for others, the Clintons "come as a package deal in so many people's minds," Olson said.
In a recent Pew Research Center survey, more than three-quarters of white evangelicals cited dislike for Clinton as a major reason they prefer Trump.
"A perception grew, even while (Clinton) was first lady, that she was the extremely liberal one, that Bill Clinton was a moderate, a pragmatist, while Hillary had an extremely liberal approach to things," said Matthew Lee Anderson, founder of the popular Christian blog Mere Orthodoxy, who came out early against Trump. "A lot has to do with her views on abortion. She was much more easily characterized as a foe than even Bill Clinton was. That picture was set relatively early within the religious right, and it has endured."
Another legacy of that period was Hillary Clinton's approach as first lady, which did not fit the expected roles for women in more traditional corners of evangelicalism.
Mark Setzler, a political scientist at High Point University in North Carolina who studies voting patterns in mixed-gender congressional and gubernatorial elections, said evangelicals in surveys state a strong preference for male leaders. But it's not clear how this translates into voting behavior. He was surprised to find that Christian conservatives were no less likely than others to back a candidate because she's a woman.
At a Liberty University schoolwide assembly Monday, Falwell, onstage with Reed, put the focus on Clinton's record, deeming it much more of a threat than Trump's predatory remarks. Falwell said five years from now, "nobody is going to remember" what the Republican nominee said.

Sarah Jessica Parker may have a number of best-selling fragrances, but the "Sex and The City" star said in the December issue of ELLE that it's a less flowery smell that she loves.
"I love the smell of diapers; I even like when they're wet and you smell them all warm like a baked good," she said.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Scenes From 'Sex And The City 2'
SJP is on double diaper duty these days thanks to the arrival of twin daughters Loretta and Tabitha, who were delivered by a surrogate earlier this year – but the star said that son James Wilkie got involved with the process, too.
"He told me he really wanted Marion to be in the mix," Sarah said of baby names for Loretta – who is indeed Marion on her birth certificate. "We thought, 'Are we crazy? Do we let our son name one of the girls? Is that the right thing to do? Is it important for him?' And then he goes, and I want it legal."

While the world loves her as Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah said she hopes her daughters feel the same way once they grow up.
"First of all, I have a fear that they're not going to like me," she said.
She can always bribe them with her considerable wardrobe, however.

"The only tragedy would be if their feet are bigger than mine," she said.
In the meantime, she's filming the much-anticipated "Sex" sequel and awaiting the release of December 11-due romantic comedy, "Did You Hear About The Morgans?" – in which she meets her character's neurotic match in co-star Hugh Grant.
"['SATC' star] Chris Noth asked me the other day, 'Do you like acting?'" Sarah joked, an emotion Hugh seconded.
"We looked like two people who had been dug up," he said of their time on the set, admitting that even he couldn't resist her charms. "Both green in the face. It was so cozy to have someone in an equal level of hell. I'm so proud of myself for liking her because I hate everybody."

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State will close the Williamsport Continuing Education Center on June 30, 2014. The decision to close this location, located at 1020 Commerce Park Drive in the Water Tower Square complex, was based on decreasing enrollment and declining revenue.
The students currently enrolled in courses at the Williamsport Center will receive assistance from Penn State to help them finish their degree programs. The University is exploring partnerships in Williamsport for suitable, temporary classroom space for Penn State faculty-led classes.
In addition to a temporary Williamsport location, current students will be counseled on their options for continuing their education at other Penn State locations, including online through Penn State's World Campus. Students also will have access to support services after the center closes, including academic advising, career counseling and financial aid information.
In July 2011, the Academic Program and Administrative Services Core Council asked Outreach to carefully review the cost effectiveness of offering courses in Williamsport. The goal of the council was to identify new ways to maintain academic excellence, while helping Penn State become a more efficient and effective institution. Outreach leadership gave the center additional time to realize increased enrollments. With enrollments remaining low, the decision was made to implement the council recommendation.
Current Williamsport students can call 814-865-3443 or 800-228-1627 for further assistance.

I have a quick question about your blog, do you think you could email me?
Getting people to participate
Posted by Unknown in Collaboration, Intranet, Intranets on Friday, 4 May 2012
So I thought I'd sit down and think about how I'd encourage people to participate. This list is by no means exhaustive and although some of these ideas have worked, they're not right for all organisations.
- It might seem obvious but you have to make the tool easy to use. If people are presented with a user interface that's buggy or clunky or both then they're unlikely to use it again.
- You also need to be creating content on a regular basis. Individuals want to see that their content is going to be either updated/read by other individuals or is part of a growing resource. Also nobody wants to be the first person to still their head about the ramparts so populate the intranet early on.
- Something that might work is to give individuals recognition/provide competition. Yammer is very good at displaying recognition in leaderboards and I have no doubt that we'll see more organisations looking at how they can use gamification to encourage collaboration.
- An important part of any intranet is providing content that people need, rather then just swamping the intranet with useless content. Making content relevant should encourage people to read the intranet. If you don't know what people want, you should ask them!
- Giving power to the people is a good way to encourage participation. If you make individuals/departments responsible for adding and updating content it's more likely to stay relevant and be read. At least that's the hope!
- Make it social by allowing individuals to comment on content, post "fun" stuff and connect with other colleagues. But remember your intranet will be serving a specific role and that probably isn't a place for people to have fun.
- Finally if you can, only post important information to the intranet. This is a tricky one as everyone will say that they don't read the intranet and so will miss stuff, but if you can do this then it will certainly impact on usage.

Autumn Journal Cards
Rush Ranch – Eastern Oregon
Wx: 91F, Clear Skies
Listening to: The Weather Channel
Thinking about family in Texas this week, as Tropical Storm Harvey turns into a Cat 3 Hurricane, and then back down again into a storm. Prayers go out to the people of Rockport and other locales that have been hit the hardest. I have a brother that lives outside of Houston, in a town called Katy. So far they are well prepared for whatever may come, including an evacuation plan. In times like these we all – the five of us siblings – exchange "I love you's", so that we know without a doubt that we are loved and cherished, no matter the outcomes of a normal day, or a tragic day. Come what may. We are faith-based people, so we trust that all will be ok in the end. And as the famous line from the "2nd Best Marigold Hotel" movie goes, "It will be ok in the end – if not, then it's not the end". I actually have that saying on a board hanging in my kitchen. I don't know the original author of the quote. In my research it has been attributed to a hundred different people.
I made some journal cards, in response to a prompt on the Designer's Challenge Forum at Pixel Scrapper. Instead of posting them to PS, I have posted them here.

The pilots of a Southwest airplane that landed at the wrong Missouri airport have been placed on leave as federal officials continue to look into what caused the mistake. NBC's John Yang reports.
Southwest Airlines on Monday grounded the two pilots who landed a passenger jet at the wrong Missouri airport — disturbingly close to a dropoff at the end of the runway, according to one passenger.
The pilots have been put on paid leave until a federal investigation into the incident — the second such mixup in two months — is completed.
The Boeing 737-700, carrying 124 passengers and five crew from Midway Airport in Chicago, was scheduled to touch down at Branson Airport on Sunday. Instead, it made a surprise landing at M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport, which is primarily used by corporate, charter and personal aircraft.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Tony Molinaro says the agency is investigating the incident. The National Transportation Safety Board plans to interview both pilots by Tuesday and will analyze the black boxes.
No injuries were reported during the mix-up, but passengers said the landing was jarring.
"He braked very hard," Dallas estate attorney Scott Schieffer told NBC News. "We could smell burnt rubber from inside the airplane."
"The flight came to a very abrupt end, almost like a crash," Diane Coplan told told NBC affiliate KXAS. "It just dropped to the ground and all of our bodies were accelerating forward very fast. You're holding on to the seat in front of you, not knowing what was happening."
Five minutes later, the pilot announced on the public address system that they had landed at the wrong airport.
"He said they were close, but it's nine miles away," Schieffer said.
"It's not like they're right next to each other. It was dark at that time, but I was like, 'How does this happen?'"

Because the downtown airport was not equipped to handle the Southwest flight, passengers were kept on the plane for 90 minutes while buses were sent to the tarmac, Schieffer said.
When they deplaned, he said, he got his second shock of the night — the plane was less than 200 feet from a dropoff at the end of the runway.
"A local official said, 'Son, look 40 feet behind those buses. You would have gone off that cliff,'" Schieffer recalled.

It took an hour for the buses to bring everyone to the correct airport and another two hours to get them on a plane to Dallas.
"People were just exhausted," he said.
He said passengers were given a $200 flight voucher but no real explanation for the snafu. The pilots stayed in the cockpit when everyone was getting off.
"What I'd like to find out eventually is how did this happen," he said.
Southwest said in a statement that it is cooperating with investigators.
Tom Kreamer, a veteran commercial pilot and senior consultant for for Safety Operating Systems, said his first question would be whether the pilots were using electronic guidance for the landing — and if not, why.
"It's fine to do visual approaches and visual landings, but use the electronic guidance as a backup," Kreamer said.
He said investigators will also be looking at the weather and light conditions at the time, any contact between the cockpit and air traffic control, and what type of clearances the crew was given.
The incident was the second in two months in which a plane has arrived at the wrong destination. In November, a behemoth Boeing air freighter set down at a small airport in Wichita, eight miles from its intended destination at McConnell Air Force Base.
In that case, officials had to shut down a highway and roads near the airport as a safety precaution to allow the plane to take off from a shorter runway the next day.

First of all, I'm in the habit of supporting every Avs play no matter what. I've made some exceptions in the past. Brad May, for example, is a player I despised.
Andrew Raycroft sucks. Don't get me wrong. But he's our best shot at making the playoffs.
No, seriously.
I find it funny that Jibblescribbits happen to go on a rant about the supposed Avalanche goal controversy, but I couldn't help the timing. I needed to get this off my chest.
First of all, Andrew Raycroft is 7-1 this year while Peter Budaj 13-19.
Records are generally bogus, but I'll get to that in a second.
Raycroft has the edge in the GAA (2.71 compared to Budaj's 2.82) but Budaj's save percentage is slightly better than Raycrofts (.901 compared to .894).
The save percentages suck. .900 is the minimum that any good goaltender needs to reach in order to be proficient and the best goaltenders should be well above that.
Many will argue that stats don't tell the whole story.
The defense has sucked, the turnovers have been endless, and Marek Svatos is the best defensive forward on his line. That isn't really what a goaltender wants to hear.
Back to the records. For whatever reason, the team plays better when Raycroft is in net. In his eight starts, the Avs have scored 5 goals three times, four goals once, three goals once, and two goals in the other three games. Six of the games have been one-goal victories for the Avs.
This tells me that Raycroft is winning close games. Whether that's a random act of the defense playing better, or Raycroft playing weaker opponents, I don't know. Winning is the name of the game. I don't care how you do it. Budaj is 9-7 in one-goal games. That's not bad, but it's not great.
I'm not going to compare these guys to any other goaltender in the league. I could compare them to Jose Theodore, but that would be stupid. Theodore has benefited from playing behind a great team, and anyone who has seen him play knows that he is simply a shell of what he was last year.
Instead, I'll simply ask a question.
Why Budaj over Raycroft?
Budaj has never shown that he can be consistent. He has never shown that he can handle the #1 spot. He was given a chance last year. He lost it. He was given a chance this year. Instead of sealing the deal, he somehow managed to let Raycroft sneak into the equation.
There is no way the Columbus defense is that much better than the Avalanche. Yet, Steve Mason has been one of the best goaltenders in the league over the last month.
I just want to see Budaj string together some sort of streak where he is outstanding. I have yet to see it.
It's not Budaj's fault either. Maybe it is the defense. Maybe it is the system.
But Andrew Raycroft gives the Avs the best chance to make the playoffs because he is WINNING. Give him five or six games and see what happens. If the Avs go 4-2, then maybe we have something. If they go 1-5, then put Budaj in, call him your #1, and be glad you're getting a Top 10 pick next season.
Lets face it, neither of these goaltenders are the best candidates to lead this team to the Cup. I don't believe Budaj will ever reach that level. Raycroft's career has been in the toilet, but it was just a couple of seasons ago that he won 37 games. He is CAPABLE of reaching that level. Given the current state of the team, and the long odds that exist for making the playoffs this season, there is no reason why Raycroft shouldn't be given the chance to start five or six games in the coming month.
After a strong performance against the Predators, Raycroft will be in net tomorrow night against the Blackhawks. After Chicago, the Avs play Pittsburgh on Saturday. This presents the perfect situation to see what Raycroft is truly made of. Start him in both games. No matter what. See what he does. See how the team plays in front of him.
Shoddy defense. A craptastic offense. You can't win without goaltending. It's possible to win a game 1-0, but it's mighty tough to win a game when the opponent is scoring soft goals each and every night. Budaj hasn't shown me that he can eliminate soft goals from his game.
I like Budaj. From everything I've read and seen, he seems like a nice guy. I know that his record and his stats might not be a true reflection of how he has truly played this year. I know that I'm going to get shelled for writing this. But when I see a 7-1 record, I think it's stupid not to explore it. His stats aren't any better, so why is Raycroft winning? Lets find out. If Tyler Arnason is allowed to be the #1 line center for a few games, Andrew Raycroft should be allowed to start a few games.
Sit Darcy Tucker. Play Andrew Raycroft.
Give him a chance. See what happens. There is nothing to lose.

I just want to say. Raycroft has benefited from playing teams weaker than the Avs.
All of Raycroft's wins have come against struggling teams, save 1: Detroit (and you could argue Phoenix). His 7 wins are against:
Dallas (when they were a bottom 2 team)
Nashville (in a 4-game losing streak)
Tampa x2 (S-u-c-k-y)
Philly (Start of the season in a 6-game losing streak)
and 2 pretty decent teams:
With a (putrid) loss against Columbus.
So against teams worse (less points) than the Avs he's 4-1 (and 3-0 against teams better than the Avs, but there's a gigantic * next to that Philly win, because Philly was playing pitiful at the time. In reality it's more like 5-1 vs teams worse than the Avs, and 2-0 vs. teams better than the Avs)
Against teams worse than the Avs Budaj is 6-2. If we're going to do comparison's lets make them Apples to Apples here.
This isn't a knock on either goaltender. I'm happy Raycroft is playing well, but Budaj isn't playing all that badly either. Both goalie is playing fine, and I hope Raycroft gets more starts. But anyone that thinks that putting Raycroft in net is going to result in the Avs playing a lot better is in for a very rude awakening. There's a lot more wrong with this team than goaltending (and as sad as it may be, it's been the strength of this team this season.
And with that I'm seriously done talking about it at all. I'm happy Raycroft is going to face better competition, and I hope the Avs win. But even if they do I seriously doubt it's because of him, unless he's the one bailing them out.

I'll view your stunned silence of confirmation I am correct.

Or that I haven't had a chance yet and I have a really sore throat. I'll get to it before the game tonight.

Nope... no other possible explanation. I'm right!

You are right! There is no other possible explanation! I am sick! But while I'm watching Voices (the Mike Haynes one), I'll try to get out a response. I just have to hope Raycroft doesn't embarrass himself tonight.
First of all, on the topic of Raycroft benefiting from playing the suckier teams. Yeah, I'll give you that. But that's his role as a backup. However, take a look at a few of the games you mentioned.
Tampa #1: 17 saves / 20 shots, 4-3 win.
Colorado was playing the second game of a double header.
Tampa #2: 37 saves / 38 shots, 2-1 win.
It was a bizarre finish but Raycroft was huge (in the dreaded shootout) and was probably close to the sole reason the Avs were able to win that game.
I won't argue Philly because he got them when they were sputtering and it's not fair to argue Dallas either.
For whatever reason, both goalies were tremendous against Detroit. I guess that's a good sign.
I'm a little light-headed and this reply is probably incoherent at this point, but one more point:
Last year, Jose Theodore took control of the job. He carried the Avs on his back and got them into the playoffs.
I want Peter Budaj to do that. Get a shutout. Stand on your head. Do something.
For whatever reason, Raycroft is winning this season. Tonight (and possibly Saturday) gives him an opportunity to show the Avs that he might be able to lead them this season. If he has two great games, he'll have earned himself more playing time.
I, personally, don't think there's anything wrong with a goalie controversy. Quenneville took it way too far. But a little competition is never a bad thing.
I like Budaj as a backup. Not a starter.
If the Avs could somehow bring some support for the third line, a starting goaltender, and a new coach in time for the playoffs, I'd be thrilled.
There are bigger problems on the team, sure. Goaltending has been a strength. Ok.
But this team has sucked this year. There's a lot of room for improvement, even where we're "strong."

text: Vettel had been left spinning at the back of the field after the opening lap collision with Bruno Senna's Williams [GALLO/GETTY]Red Bull team bosses on Monday hailed world champion Sebastian Vettel after the German survived retirement-threatening damage to his car on his way to finishing sixth at the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix. "It was about as bad as you can possibly have - and still finish a race," said Red Bull technical director Adrian Newey, the design genius who has created race and championship winning cars for the Williams, McLaren and Red Bull teams in his career. Team chief Christian Horner added: "I can't think of a more stressful race than that race. None... I mean, it had everything going on in it. It was utterly nerve-wracking. "From the first lap, with Seb getting turned around - and thankfully the rest of the field missed him... "It did quite a lot of damage to the floor and the exhaust on the left-hand side. But then he got himself going again. His pace in the damp was unbelievable." Early collision The team's relief was once again coupled with amazement at the achievement of the 25-year-old German driver, who had been left spinning backwards at the back of the field on the opening lap after a collision with Brazilian Bruno Senna's Williams. From last, he recovered to finish sixth and become the third and youngest triple world champion in Formula One history, following the great Argentine Juan Manuel Fangio and his own boyhood hero, compatriot and mentor Michael Schumacher. At the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on November 4, Vettel had started from the pit lane and finished second - another feat of dogged determination coupled with astonishing talent that defied the odds. Asked after the race if the team were concerned that the damage to his car was sufficient to force his retirement, Horner said: "Yes. Absolutely. "There was quite a lot of damage to the exhaust and they're sensitive bits of equipment. So for them to receive an impact like that, of course, it was massively concerning for us... " Horner added: "He got himself going, and then came back through the field to get the ultimate position. He was up to about sixth or seventh and just kept pushing and getting himself back in there, and then the rain came, so we went on to inters. "Then the rain stopped, so we went back onto the harder tyre. I think as the circuit dried out it became more obvious the problems he had were affecting the balance of the car. "And then we needed to change tyres because basically there was no way he would have got to the end on that set. "By this point we lost radio and we couldn't hear him any more. He pitted, went out on the softer tyre at the end, and then the rain started to increase significantly, so we had to get him back in. "He said he couldn't hear what we were saying and we weren't ready for him. And then it was a question of closing out those final laps..." He added that Red Bull had concentrated on their own strategy and had paid little heed to Ferrari's strategy with title rival Spaniard Fernando Alonso. "We spoke about that before the race and made it quite clear, let's not be sucked into just covering Ferrari because the race wasn't just about Ferrari, it was about getting the best result and let's try and make the right calls at the right time."

Probiotics May Soothe Colicky Babies, Study Finds
Babies who are fussy or cry excessively may benefit from probiotics, according to a new study.
MONDAY, October 7, 2013 — If your baby is colicky, crying incessantly or being fussy, it may seem like nothing you do can help calm her. But according to a new study published in JAMA Pediatrics, the answer may lie in probiotics – but only if you breast feed. And while there is still not enough information to give a concrete recommendation, the researchers say that probiotic use for colic is "promising."
Researchers from the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute and Royal Children's Hospital in Australia conducted a review of 12 clinical trials, which included 1,825 infants younger than three months old. Half of the trials found that the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri was effective at treating colic. Of those, one trial found that the probiotic was effective for formula-fed babies and for not breastfed infants. The rest found the opposite, with the largest of all the studies finding a 25 percent reduction in colic in breast-fed babies after probiotic treatment.
"Recently, studies have reported gut microbial differences between infants with and without colic, suggesting these could be responsible for pathophysiological changes such as inflammation, gas production, bloating, and gut dysmotility," the researchers, led by Valerie Sung, MPH, a researcher with the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, wrote in the study. "The logical next step is to determine whether intervening to alter gut microbiota can effectively prevent or reduce infant crying."
While the findings aren't new, James Versalovic, MD, chief of pathology and director of Texas Children's Microbiome Center at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston said the study further shows the promise of probiotics.
"Probiotics can represent a diverse group of bacteria, and we're just beginning to understand the benefits of them," Dr. Versalovic said. "These studies have given us reasons to be optimistic."
And even though the findings only showed a benefit for breastfed babies, that doesn't mean that formula-fed babies will be left out, Versalovic said.
"It may be that the bacteria that are present in the intestines on breast-fed babies are more receptive to a probiotic than formula-fed babies," he said. "What we don't know is which specific probiotic is best, and how or why it's more effective in some babies than others. It may be that we haven't discovered the right probiotic for formula-fed babies."
Colic causes a great deal of stress on parents, according to the study, and is a big risk factor for child abuse. Therefore, if probiotics prove beneficial, it could have a major effect on a baby's home life, Versalovic said.
"An effective treatment for colic could help keep babies happy, which would make parents happier," he said. "Happier parents are going to be better parents, and will be able to focus on their children and help them grow into healthy adults. Many parents withdraw from excessively crying babies, and a treatment for colic could help with the bond between parents and their babies."
The American Academy of Pediatrics has not taken an official position on the use of probiotics in infants, but Versalovic said that many doctors have prescribed them, and stressed that they are safe.
"There have been occasional reports of probiotics causing problems in premature babies or critically ill patients," he said, "as the bacteria may create more disease symptoms and get into the bloodstream. But generally speaking, in healthy children, they're safe."
Ultimately, Versalovic said the study shows that probiotics may be an effective treatment for colic, even though more research needs to be done.
"By changing the gut bacteria or microbiome of infants, we can change behavior such as crying or colic," he said. "These findings point to an exciting future of biomedical research as we try to match gut bacteria or probiotics with infants receiving different diets – formula- or breastfed."
