Hannity again linked Obama to Farrakhan without noting Obama's denunciation of Farrakhan
On Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity declared that Louis Farrakhan "had nice things to say" about Sen. Barack Obama, but did not mention that Obama responded to Farrakhan's remarks with a statement noting that "I have been ... a consistent denunciator of Louis Farrakhan."
On the February 25 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity declared that Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan "had nice things to say" about Sen. Barack Obama, but did not mention that Obama responded to Farrakhan's remarks with a statement noting that "I have been ... a consistent denunciator of Louis Farrakhan." Hannity also referenced an award given to Farrakhan by Trumpet Newsmagazine, a publication founded by Obama's church, but did not note that the Obama campaign provided a statement criticizing Farrakhan and disagreeing with the magazine's decision to give him the award.
During a segment featuring columnist and Fox News contributor Dick Morris, Hannity asserted that "Louis Farrakhan had nice things to say about him [Obama] this weekend." Later, co-host Alan Colmes said to Morris: "But I want to ask you about something that Sean brought up, which has to do with a support from Louis Farrakhan. Are we going to smear Barack Obama because Louis Farrakhan likes him as a candidate? Is that something that's even -- should even be on the radar screen?" Then, during a segment featuring Democratic strategist and Fox News contributor Bob Beckel, Republican strategist Pete Snyder, and Human Events columnist Michelle Oddis, Hannity said to Beckel: "Would it matter to you, Bob Beckel, if, in fact -- because the church that Barack Obama goes to honored the Minister Louis Farrakhan. Honored him. A man that refers to the white man as the skunk of the planet Earth and Judaism is a gutter religion. Should that -- should he be asked about that? Is that fair?"
Following Farrakhan's endorsement of Obama, Obama gave a speech at a Jewish community meeting in Cleveland in which he stated:
OBAMA: It is true that my Pastor, Jeremiah Wright, who will be retiring this month, is somebody who on occasion can say controversial things. ... He does not have a close relationship with Louis Farrakhan. Louis Farrakhan is a resident of Chicago and as a consequence he has been active in a range of community activities, particularly around ex-offenders and dealing with them. I have been a consistent, before I go any further, a consistent denunciator of Louis Farrakhan, nobody challenges that. And what is true is that, recently this is probably, I guess last year. An award was given to Farrakhan for his work on behave of ex-offenders completely unrelated to his controversial statements. And I believe that was a mistake and showed a lack of sensitivity to [the] Jewish community and I said so.
As Obama noted in the speech, after Trumpet Newsmagazine gave the award to Farrakhan, the Obama campaign released the following statement, as the washingtonpost.com blog The Trail reported:
"I decry racism and anti-Semitism in every form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements made by Minister Farrakhan," Obama said in the statement. "I assume that Trumpet Magazine made its own decision to honor Farrakhan based on his efforts to rehabilitate ex-offenders, but it is not a decision with which I agree."
As Media Matters for America documented, Hannity has previously referenced the Trumpet award as evidence that Obama "associated" himself with Farrakhan, without noting Obama's condemnation of Farrakhan.
From the February 25 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
HANNITY: Let me ask you if you think the issue of race is going to be a bigger part in this campaign than it's been to now. Now, we had Barack Obama's pastor on this very show. And he has, for example, the Black Value System that he wants his congregants to commit to. You know, the black family, the black community, the black work ethic, on and on and on.
Louis Farrakhan had nice things to say about him this weekend. And then we discovered that Michelle Obama, who made this comment last week when she said she felt proud of her country for the first time in her life, she, in her thesis at Princeton, wrote the following talking about -- she said "because of the belief that blacks must join in solidarity to combat a white oppressor," she talked about why African-Americans joined together at Princeton. Is race going to now be an issue for them?
MORRIS: No, I think once you carry Utah and Idaho and North Carolina, you basically have proven that you're going to get white votes. I think there'll be attempts to raise race. But I think, like I said on your show last week, it's a fundamental mistake to go after the wife. She's not running for president. I mean, my goodness, if you could defeat a husband by defeating his wife, Bill Clinton never would have been president.
COLMES: But I want to ask you about something that Sean brought up, which has to do with a support from Louis Farrakhan. Are we going to smear Barack Obama because Louis Farrakhan likes him as a candidate? Is that something that's even -- should even be on the radar screen?
MORRIS: It shouldn't be at all. I mean, I think the important thing about Obama is that he ran -- he's been running really like a Republican black candidate, liberal on the issues, but running without any reference to race at all. He doesn't say, "Elect a black man," any more than another guy would say, "Elect a bald man." He simply is a candidate who happens to be black, and I think that's what people find really refreshing about him.
But the fascinating thing to me about Hillary's campaign is she simply can't get any traction on any issue. That big speech you had her giving about, "Shame on you, Barack Obama" -- what Obama did was he said that Hillary wants to force people who don't have health insurance and don't want health insurance to buy health insurance. And Hillary says that's below the belt as a shot.
But if you're for universal health insurance, the only way you're going to enforce it is to garnish wages or have fines on people, so he's exactly right.
COLMES: Pete Snyder, is it fair to talk about where Barack Obama goes to church, who his pastor associates with, whether his pastor has a relationship with Louis Farrakhan, having nothing to do with Barack Obama? Is that fair game?
SNYDER: Alan, you know, when you have a candidate like Barack Obama and you have a candidate like John McCain, I think John McCain's going to take him straight on, on the issues. I mean, John McCain wants to win in Iraq. Barack Obama wants to pull out immediately. Barack Obama wants to raise taxes. John McCain doesn't want to raise taxes.
COLMES: No, rescind the tax cuts for the rich. Those are fair debates, though. But I'm talking about other issues that have -- keep coming up about the Obamas.
SNYDER: They're very fair debates. And when you can win on the issues, when you're going against the most liberal senator in the entire Senate -- he makes Hillary look right of center -- they're going to hit him on the issues.
COLMES: They're going to play that game, Bob Beckel: liberal, liberal, liberal.
HANNITY: How about fundamental fairness? Would it matter to you, Bob Beckel, if, in fact -- because the church that Barack Obama goes to honored the Minister Louis Farrakhan. Honored him.
BECKEL: I don't care what it did.
HANNITY: A man that refers to the white man as the skunk of the planet Earth and Judaism is a gutter religion. Should that -- should he be asked about that?
BECKEL: Who cares?
HANNITY: Is that fair?
BECKEL: Should he be -- no, I don't think it should be asked about it. It's his own church. But let me --
HANNITY: Why not?
BECKEL: Who cares?
HANNITY: It's his church has a Black Value System, the black family, the black community, the black adherence to the --
BECKEL: Is that going to put health insurance in people's pocket?
HANNITY: No, but if a Republican did it, Bob Beckel, I bet you and your --
BECKEL: If a Republican did what?
HANNITY: -- Democratic friends would be out there, just like we saw the James Byrd ad --
BECKEL: If they did what?
HANNITY: -- the Missouri radio ad in 1998 --
BECKEL: Wait, wait, excuse me. If they did what?
HANNITY: -- saying black churches would burn if Republicans are elected.

Agatha Chubb was a witch and an expert in ancient wizarding artefacts.
While researching Quidditch practises of the 16th century, she recovered no fewer than twelve lead Bludgers from marshes and peat bogs in Great Britain and Ireland. She used this discovery to demonstrate how modern wizards developed Bludgers from lead and then iron, as lead was determined too soft a metal for the purpose of the balls.[1]
She wrote, "They are undoubtedly Bludgers rather than cannon balls. The faint indentations of magically reinforced Beaters' bats are visible and one can see the distinctive hallmarks of manufacture by a wizard (as opposed to a Muggle) - the smoothness of line, the perfect symmetry. A final clue was the fact that each and every one of them whizzed around my study and attempted to knock me to the floor when released from its case."[1]
"Agatha" is a Latinized form of the Greek name Αγαθη (Agathe), derived from Greek αγαθος (agathos) meaning "good". Saint Agatha was a 3rd-century martyr from Sicily who was tortured and killed after spurning the advances of a Roman official. The saint was widely revered in the Middle Ages, and her name has been used throughout Christian Europe (in various spellings). The mystery writer Agatha Christie (1890–1976) was a famous modern bearer of this name.

Thanks to a great idea in a post somewhere by Derakon, here's a mod that applies the highest level armor repair item in your hold to the most damaged segment of armor on your ship. Select "Emergency Armor Repair" in the Ship's Interior dockscreen.
Patches, kits, paste and nanos can be applied. Doesn't work with Sung tiles and doesn't recognize unknown barrels.
I might make it into an item that you need to buy for balance.
I could probably add the Sung tile thingy but I don't know if anyone ever uses Sung armor.

Big Business has been the latest stop on Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown's statewide Temporary Tax Increase Tour.
Last week, the governor appeared before the annual Host Breakfast of the California Chamber of Commerce where he asked the members for their help to pass his November ballot proposition.
If enacted by the voters, the measure would raise sales taxes by a half cent for four years and hike state income taxes between 1 and 3 percent for seven years on income earners making more than $250,000 per year. Note that the ballot proposition asks nothing of businesses in the form of temporary tax increases.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Rather than resist Brown'e entreaty, the Chamber and its corporate allies should be kissing his feet. That's because no income earning group in California has had a better tax deal over the past couple of decades than business.
In fact, the state has bent over backwards for business, corporate whining notwithstanding.
Over the past 30 years, the Legislature has reduced the tax rate for California businesses several times. In 1982, the corporate tax rate was 9.6 percent. Today it stands at 8.84 percent.
Here's another way of looking at businesses as revenue producers for the state treasury. Whereas in 1978, corporate taxes accounted for 15.4 percent of all general fund revenues; in 2010 corporate taxes totaled 10.7 percent of the take.
All this adds up to big bucks absent from the state treasury. It also helps to explain part of the cause of the state's budget deficit woes over the past few decades. According to the California Budget Project, if corporations paid taxes at the same rate today as they did 30 years ago, the state would be taking an extra $8.4 billion annually.
That's just about the amount of the remaining deficit if the voters pass Brown's November tax initiative.
The Chamber and its business partners should be working their tails off for Brown's measure. If they don't and it fails, then tax increase proponents may be looking for businesses to assume responsibility for a larger share of the revenue pie the next time around.

Home TEFL forum Grammar & Vocabulary Extended state meaning
I recently did my language awareness assignment and submitted it, but the tutor gave it back to me saying i need to make some amendments to it. I've amended what needs to be, but there are a couple of things I'm unsure about.
The first sentence we have to analyse is:(the bold part is what we have to analyse)
1) She used to live in Scotland.
for the context i gave this scenario:
Emma lived in Scotland. She hated it. She hated the cold and damp weather in Scotland, so she decided to move. Now, she lives in Paris. She loves living there because it's nice and sunny.
Then i gave the form:
Used to + bare infinitive.
Used to is a modal verb and it is used here with the bare infinitive to talk about past habits, thus used to live. [1]
And then i gave my three concept questions:
– Where did she live before? Scotland.
– Does she still live in Scotland? No.
– Does she live in Paris now? Yes
One of the comments my tutor made was (she drew and arrow pointing at the form) and said "consider the extended state meaning too" and then she pointed at the concept question and said "consider the extended state meaning of used to".
What i want to know is, what does she mean/ what is meant by the "extended state meaning", and what am i expected to write? I would have asked her, but she's gone on maternity leave and has said that her comments should be enough guidance for us, but I'm confused.
Please log in to reply to this topic.

Competitiveness runs in the family
His parents had a predilection for games of chance and initiated their children into a number of different card games – mainly because they saw this as an opportunity to spend more time together as a family. At the many heated family battles, Howard's competitive nature was encouraged by his father. Usually parents let their children win, but Howard still believes that his father never lost to him on purpose – This way Howard was taught early on what it means to fight for a victory. It was also his father, the author, teacher, and linguist Richard Lederer, who first introduced him to the game of poker that would later become Howard's lifelong passion.
In his younger years, Howard was more fascinated by chess than by poker, however. His love for the game was so intense that at the age of eighteen he decided to move to New York, known for its great number of chess clubs. He enrolled at Columbia University and was soon a regular at most underground gambling clubs. It was in the backroom of one of these clubs that Howard discovered poker. He was so taken by the game that he did not do anything else for two years but play poker – 70 to 80 hours a week. He played all night, barely slept and lost a lot of money. He earned his nightly buy in by running errands for other players.
Fascinated by Texas Hold'em
Howard's unhealthy lifestyle finally caught up with him and he realized that playing all night was not helping his game. He slowed down, got more rest, and finally saw his results improve. He started playing at the Mayfair Club, a renowned Bridge and Backgammon Club and legendary home to some of the best players in the world. Here, Howard was playing only amongst world-class players and became part of the elite circle who were the first to experiment with no-limit Texas Hold'em, then virtually unknown in New York. A poker day at the Mayfair usually began at four in the afternoon and would continue until two in the morning, when the players would retire to their favourite bar to talk about the night's events and discuss poker. No-limit Texas Hold'em was new to all of them but, like a kind of study group, they brainstormed strategies and gave each other tips, making a continuous effort to improve their game. Besides Howard Lederer, the early members of this group included poker legends such as Dan Harrington, Steve Zolotow, Jay Heimowitz and Erik Seidel.
In the late 1980s, Howard started tutoring his sister Annie Duke and helped her improve her poker game. Annie would play poker during the day and then come home at night to discuss game strategy and iron out all the kinks in her game play with Howard. Annie proved to have talent and the questions she posed became more and more difficult for Howard to answer. He encouraged Annie to go to Las Vegas and try her luck at the World Series of Poker (WSOP). Howard's intuitions about his sister's potential turned out to have been correct – Annie Duke is one of the women who cashed most at the WSOP. She has even managed to knock her brother out of several WSOP tournaments. At the 1995 WSOP, Howard and Annie wrote poker history as the first brother and sister duo to make the same final table in pot-limit Texas Hold'em.
Moving to Las Vegas
It was in 1987 that Howard took part in the WSOP for the first time, where he placed thirteenth in limit Hold'em and fifth in the no-limit Hold'em main event. At the 1988 WSOP he was able to make it to the top ten twice. In 1991 he won the "Annual Diamond Jim Brady" tournament in no-limit Hold'em.
In 1993, Howard decided to take his game to the next level by moving to Las Vegas. He started participating in cash-games and no-limit Hold'em tournaments with high buy ins and soon made a name for himself on the professional poker circuit. Howard worked very hard on perfecting his game. In 1994 he won his first "Hall of Fame" title by winning the $ 2,500 no-limit Deuce to Seven Draw tournament at the 1994 "Hall of Fame Poker Classic", and also was able to defend this title the following year. Up until 2000, Howard took part in numerous World Series of Poker tournaments and finished amongst the top ten at most of them.
At the 2000 WSOP, Howard was able to fulfil the great dream he shared with most professional poker players: by eliminating poker celebrities such as Chris "Jesus" Ferguson and Allan Cunningham, Howard won his first WSOP Gold Bracelet in Omaha Hi Lo.
One year later, at the 2001 WSOP, Howard continued on his path to success and won his second Gold Bracelet, this time in no-limit Deuce to Seven Lowball. 2001 was not just a lucky year career-wise, Howard also found private joy in his new marriage to Suzie Weiss.
The following years, Howard travelled from tournament to tournament and, apart from the WSOP, took part in numerous renowned poker events. In 2002 he placed fourth at the L.A. Poker Classic, second at the "Hall of Fame Poker Classic" and won the Poker Finals of the World Poker Tour (WPT) Season 1.
2003 was also a successful year for Howard. He won the "PartyPoker Million II" No-Limit Hold'em tournament at the WPT Season 1, as well as the "Five-Star World Poker Classic WPT Championship Season 1" in no-limit Hold'em. He also made it to second and third places several times.
In 2004, his tournament results were quite notable: two victories at the "Five-Star World Poker Classic WPT Championship Season 2" (no-limit Hold'em and pot-limit Omaha), a second place finish at the heads-up limit Hold'em tournament, and a third place finish at the WSOP limit Razz
Howard Lederer was also very active in online poker. He was a member of Team FullTilt and contributed to FullTiltPoker's "Learn from the Pros" section by providing commentary and analyses. Each week, he also spent a minimum of ten hours playing poker and chatting with players on the website.
He also founded the Howard Lederer Poker Fantasy Camp, an internet website on which users can play against and learn from poker professionals. Furthermore, Howard Lederer has released a DVD called "Secrets of No Limit Hold'em" and works as a commentator for a poker show.
The poker professor
Howard plays a very analytical and tactical game. This scientific approach, along with his exemplary conduct at the poker table, has earned him the nickname The Professor. In an interview he mentions how surprised he was when he was first called The Professor: he does not actually hold a PhD – or any other University degree, for that matter. Somehow, the name does suit him though and it has grown on him:
"…Somehow the description does make sense, because I do have an analytical and somewhat academic approach to the game. I enjoy teaching others – seeing as I come from a family of academics I seem to have inherited this ability from my father. To be honest, I didn't really like my nickname at the beginning, but now I'm comfortable with it."
Another attribute befitting a "professor" is Howard's calmness and level-headedness on the felt. Nothing ruffles his feathers, not even a major bad beat (losing despite holding an excellent hand). Howard explains that this as an ability that did not come to him naturally at first but one he had to work on hard; at the beginning of his career, his temper had been far from the calm and composed nature he exhibits today. Now, having sat at countless final tables and in front of hundreds of cameras, he has experience enough to know never to reveal his weaknesses at the poker table. Of course, he still gets nervous from time to time, but he now knows how to mask it. Naturally, this requires mental strength and experience and, according to Howard,
"…Even today I still lose my composure – but when I do I don't show it. Don't get me wrong, when I'm sitting at the final table and I am as calm as I would be reading the newspaper at breakfast, then that's not a good thing either. Even bad beats should hurt a little bit, however you need the mental strength and experience to be able to tell yourself that this hand should not bring you off course. Don't let it affect your game."
Only once did Howard Lederer get aggressive at the poker table, when Daniel Negreanu made inappropriate remarks about his sister Annie in 2000. But this fight with Daniel has long been forgotten, emphasizes Howard. Although they are not the best of friends in private, they give each other all due respect at the poker table.
Tony G. is another fellow poker professional that Howard would not exactly call his best friend. At the 2003 World Poker Tour "Grand Prix de Paris", Howard refused to shake hands with him after Tony had eliminated him from the tournament – not because Tony had beat him, of course, but because of Tony's extremely obnoxious behaviour. Compared to Tony G.'s verbal outbursts though, Howard's reaction was fairly harmless.
Howard's advice to beginners is to play aggressively, a tactic that has helped him a great deal. It is, of course, also very advisable to visit the poker schools that are offered by many online pokercasinos such as William Hill Poker or to work on your playing style using poker strategy programs.
The most difficult decision Howard so far has had to make over the course of his poker career was at its very beginning, at the WSOP final table:
At the final table, 22-year-old Howard Lederer was up against Johnny Chan, who was chip leader by a long way. Howard was holding a pair of threes and raised from the button. Chan called and the flop revealed J-9-2, two of these cards being diamonds. Howard and Johnny both checked. The turn brought a 4; still, there were two diamonds on the board and Johnny bet. Howard knew that he had the better hand and was sure he could provoke a bluff, letting Johnny believe he was playing the draw. So Howard called and the river brought another 4. Just as Howard had suspected, Johnny bet approximately $ 50,000. Howard called and won with his pair of threes.
This is what Howard has to say about this experience:
"…It's not that I thought: I am better than Johnny Chan. It was this hand though, that showed me that I could take someone on. Looking back I think that this experience really helped me move a considerable step forward. It gave me the self-confidence to play this way against the best players in the world."
Poker and Zen-Buddhism
Howard describes the game of poker as a form of art, much like archery or swordsmanship. To be able to learn and perfect such an art, it is important to harmonize body and spirit and understand the process one goes through to master it. To achieve this, Howard began to engage in Zen Buddhism. The Zen teachings helped him gain clearer insight into the learning process each true poker player must go through in the course of their development from being a beginner to becoming a master of the game. They also helped him get through some critical moments at the poker table.
On his website, Howard describes the four basic phases that a beginner goes through on his way to becoming a master poker player under the heading "Poker and Zen":
Grasping this concept is one of the most difficult lessons to be learned in tournament poker. Howard soon realized that the more he forced himself to focus on the present moment, the less he succeeded. To overcome this hurdle he developed his own Zen-based form of "poker meditation", which helps him focus by relaxing.
This is what Howard has to say about his professional poker career:
"I have started to walk the last ten miles on my poker journey, and I am prepared for that walk to take the rest of my life."
According to Howard, there is no overall best poker player. As the "best cash-game player of all time", he names the late poker pro David "Chip" Reese, who passed away only recently (04.12.07) at the age of 56. Stu Ungar had been the best no-limit tournament player according to Howard, although he had not been a very good cash-game player.
Andy Beal vs. The Corporation
One of the highlights of Howard's career was winning against the banker and multi-millionaire Andy Beal. Along with several other poker stars (Doyle Brunson, Chip Reese, Todd Brunson, Jennifer Harman, Chau Giang, Barry Greenstein, Ted Forrest, Gus Hansen, Ming La, Phil Ivey and Johnny Chan), Howard was a member of the infamous group called "The Corporation". The purpose of this collective was to pool all their money together and challenge banker, millionaire, and well-known poker player Andy Beal to a game.
Howard and the other members finally had accumulated 10 million dollars to go up against the mathematical genius Beal in a heads-up matches at the Wynn in Las Vegas. After two weeks the "Corporation" had lost everything. Following a one week break though, Phil Ivey played against Beal non-stop for three days and won back all of the 10 million dollars, plus an additional 6.5 million. After this spectacular downfall and the loss of 16.5 million dollars, Andy Beal pledged never to play poker again.
This legendary match, surrounded by much speculation, fascinated the poker world while the media desperately tried to get at information – without much luck. The "Corporation" operated very secretively and made sure that little news was made public since they challenged Beal in a private match. But then again, they could have just played in a private establishment, rather than using the private rooms of a famous casino. It was their very secretiveness – and not quite unintentionally, it seems – that captured the public attention.
The match "Andy Beal versus The Corporation" went down in history as the highest stakes poker game ever played. American author Michael Craig even wrote a book called "The Professor, the Banker and the Suicide King: Inside the Richest Poker Game of all Time". The Professor referred to in the title is – of course – Howard Lederer, Andy Beal is the banker. "The Suicide King" refers to the eccentric and at times ruthless player Ted Forrest but it also designates the king of hearts because on some cards it looks as if this king had rammed his sword into his head.
Away from the poker tables
It seems poker talent runs in the Lederer family; even Howard's sister Katy has been engaged in poker, although not as a player but as an author. In 2003, Katy Lederer published a book called "Poker Face: A Girlhood among Gamblers" in which she describes the transformation of her siblings Annie and Howard from "normal" New Hampshire private school kids to professional Las Vegas gamblers with millions in their bank accounts. This book is not just aimed at poker players though, but it also has a lot to offer artistically. Another well-known publication by Katy Lederer is her collection of poetry, "Winter Sex".
When not at the poker table, Howard Lederer likes to spend time at home in Las Vegas with his wife Suzie, his son Mattias and his three dogs. He enjoys watching good movies, plays golf, and goes to concerts a lot. His favourite movie is Stanley Kubrick 's "Paths of Glory", but when asked about his favourite celebrity he replies that he is not particularly star struck.
If he could change anything he wanted in the world, he says he would end poverty.
Howard also likes to play basketball and regularly goes jogging to stay trim. Because he suffered from weight problems, he underwent gastric bypass surgery to combat his obesity. Before the operation, Doyle Brunson lovingly used to call Howard "Bubba" but when he lost a lot of his weight as a result of the operation, Doyle shortened the nickname to "Bub".
As Howard had to change his diet after the surgery and lead a healthier lifestyle anyway, he decided to become a vegetarian. This resolution turned out to have been a good choice, seeing as it earned him lots of money a couple of years later: during a game at the Bellagio, David Grey, one of Howard's poker colleagues bet him $ 10,000 that he would not be able to eat a hamburger. Although Howard was a convinced vegetarian and had not eaten meat for years, his gambling instincts eventually got the better of him: He ordered a cheeseburger, ate the whole thing – every last crumb – and took the $ 10,000 off Grey.
Another much talked-about bet revolved around Howard's eating habits once more, around his weight, to be precise. Backgammon pro Mike Svobodny bet Howard and his poker colleague Huckleberry Seed $ 100,000 ($ 50,000 each) that they would not be able to reach the same weight within a year. At that time Howard weighed 140 kg, while Huck Seed only weighed 90 kg. Both of them lost their bet: while Howard hardly lost any weight at all, Huck actually lost even more weight trying to bulk up.
Without a doubt, Howard is one of the most remarkable personalities of the professional poker world. Other poker players could learn a thing or two by taking Howard's role-model behaviour and attitude as an example.
Either way, it means a great deal to us that this wise and spiritual poker professor is willing to pass on little bits of wisdom and lets us take part in his journey towards becoming a poker master.

A leading prosecutor has told the dpa news agency that two friendlies involving Rubin Kazan contained "many indications of match-fixing."
The games, which saw the Russian club lose 3-0 to Dynamo Dresden and 2-1 to SC Paderborn, took place earlier this month as the two German sides travelled to Turkey for winter training camps ahead of the 2. Bundesliga restart.
"Something looks suspicious," prosecutor Friedhelm Althans, the head of the "Flankengott" taskforce investigating match-fixing in German football, said.
Paderborn informed the German Football League (DFL) of their own suspicions about the Jan. 25 friendly, which they won courtesy of a last-minute penalty. It is said an unusual number of bets had been placed on a late goal in that match.
There have also been suspicions raised over 2. Bundesliga side Arminia Bielefeld's 2-2 draw against Azerbaijani club Inter Baku later on Jan. 25.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports that a large number of bets had been placed on at least four goals being scored during the friendly, which featured the same group of Turkish officials as the Paderborn match.
Two of the goals had come as the result of controversial penalties, with the match report on the official Bielefeld website claiming one spot-kick was awarded when a Baku player "slipped and fell into a puddle."
"The German clubs are not involved in the alleged manipulations," a DFL spokesperson told FAZ.

...Kafka, on the one hand, comes up against the law at every turn; indeed, one could even say that he bloodies his brow smashing up against the law (see the Mole [-- i.e. the narrator of "Der Bau", The Burrow]); but it is no longer the law governing the real world of things in which he lives, or any world of things whatsoever. It is the law of a new order in which all the things in which it expresses itself are misshapen, a law that deforms all things and all the people it touches.

The Wolf's Lair -- another play on Hitler's favourite pseudonym from the 1920s, when he like to call himself 'Wolf' (allegedly the meaning of 'Adolf', and implying strength) -- was hidden away in the gloomy Masurian woods, about eight kilometres from the small town of Rastenburg. Hitler and his accompaniment arrived there late in the evening of 23 June. The new surroundings were not greatly welcoming. The centre-point consisted of ten bunkers, erected over the winter, camouflaged and in part protected against air-raids by two metres thickness of concrete. Hitler's bunker was at the northern end of the complex. All its windows faced north so that he could avoid the sun streaming in...

[February 1942] Snow still lay on the ground at the Wolf's Lair. An icy wind gave no respite from the cold. But, at the end of February 1942, there were the first signs that spring was not far away. Hitler could not wait for the awful winter to pass... The war was all that mattered to Hitler. Yet, cocooned in the strange world of the Wolf's lair, he was increasingly severed from its realities, both at the front and at home. Detachment ruled out all vestiges of humanity. Even towards those in his own entourage who had been with him for many years, there was nothing resembling real affection, let alone friendship; genuine fondness was reserved only for his young Alsatian. Human life and suffering were of no consequence to him. He never visited a field-hospital, nor the homeless after bomb-raids. He saw no massacres, went near no concentration camp, viewed no compound of starving prisoners-of-war. His enemies were in his eyes like vermin to be stamped out. But his profound contempt for human existence extended to his own people. Decisions costing the lives of tens of thousands of his soldiers were made -- perhaps it was only thus possible to make them -- without consideration for any human plight. The hundreds of thousands of dead and maimed were merely an abstraction, the suffering a necessary and justified sacrifice in the 'heroic struggle' for the survival of the people.

His apartments in the Reich Chancellery largely gutted by incendiaries, Hitler now [February 1945] moved underground for much of the time, shuffling down the seemingly unending stone steps, flanked by bare concrete walls, that led to the claustrophobic, labyrinthine subterranean world of the Führer Bunker, a two-storey construction deep below the garden of the Reich Chancellery. The enormous bunker complex had been deepened in 1943 -- extending an earlier bunker (originally meant for possible future use as an air-raid shelter) dating from 1936 -- and heavily reinforced during Hitler's stay at his western headquarters. The complex was completely self-contained, with its own heating, lighting, and water-pumps run from a diesel generator. Hitler had slept there since returning to Berlin. From now on, it would provide a macabre domicile for the remaining weeks of his life...

The mood in the bunker now [29 April 1945] sank to zero-level. Despair was now written on everyone's face. All knew it was only a matter of hours before Hitler killed himself. There was much talk of the best methods of committing suicide. Secretaries, adjutants and any others who wanted them had by now been given the brass-cased ampoules containing prussic acid supplied by Dr Ludwig Stumpfegger, the SS surgeon... Hitler's paranoia stretched now to doubts about the capsules. He had shown his Alsatian bitch Blondi more affection than any human being, possibly even Eva Braun. Now, as the end approached, he had the poison tested on Blondi. Professor Werner Haase was summoned from his duties in the nearby public air-raid shelter beneath the New Reich Chancellery building. Shortly before the afternoon briefing on 29 April, aided by Hitler's dog attendant Fritz Tornow, he forced open the dog's jaws and crushed the prussic acid capsule with a pair of pliers. The dog slumped in an instant motionless on the ground. Hitler was not present. However, he entered the room immediately afterwards. He glanced for a few seconds at the dead dog. Then, his face like a mask, he left without saying anything and shut himself in his room...

Woman reports assault outside Jazzercise class
A man faces several charges after police said he tried to sexually assault a woman outside her fitness class early Monday.
Omaha police officers were called the scene near 120th and West Center Road just before 7 a.m. to investigate.
The 53-year-old woman told officers that she was leaving her Jazzercise class when she encountered a man near the building entrance who appeared to be touching himself. He grabbed her by the shoulders as she was walking to her car, she told police
She said she struggled with the man and screamed for help. When a witness approached, the man released the victim, punched the witness and took off.
David Matney said after he was punched, he chased after the man.
"He was a little bit younger, faster and stronger than me, but I did the best I could," Matney said.
Three hours later, officers responded to a call about a man in a Maurice's clothing store who was reportedly rubbing himself.
Glenn Nickerson, 24, was taken into custody and booked on counts of first-degree sexual assault, three counts of criminal trespassing, lewd conduct and third-degree misdemeanor assault.
Police said it was determined that Nickerson was involved in a similar incident on June 7 not far from the first scene Tuesday.

Have been thinking about the parable of the shepherd who left the 99 to search for the ONE lost lamb. I think there are beautiful truths still left uncovered in this passage. What did the lamb do to be saved? Did he repent? If so, what led him to repentance?
Here's what I am seeing….First he did NOTHING except run away, put himself in danger, risk starvation and loneliness. In this story, the only action I see in on the part of the Savior (Shepherd). The Shepherd left the 99 and searched for the one. The Shepherd picked him up. The Shepherd lay him across His shoulders. The Shepherd rejoiced at finding him. Sooo, again…what exactly did the lamb do??? The lamb did nothing except surrender to being carried. Nothing but submit to the strong but gentle grip of the Shepherd. Nothing but let go of the restlessness that had driven him to wander in the first place. The lamb did nothing except perhaps nuzzle in close enough to smell the familiar sweet scent of his Savior and hear His heartbeat racing with the flutter of excitement at finding His precious lamb!
And I ask you, is it not THAT very love so freely given, without merit or good works, that leads all of us to repentance?? Is it not in the sweet moment of relishing in the safety and warmth of the gentle grip of our Savior that leads us to regret our actions? Is it not in that moment when His love for us is realized that we want to make changes and start anew??

On the Block Nothing mousy: Restoring a relic on Ridge
ADDRESS: 505 Ridge Street
NEIGHBORHOOD: Fifeville
YEAR BUILT: 1843-1845, addition 1912
SIZE: 3,330 fin. sq. ft. 202 unfin.
LAND: 0.219 acres
CURB APPEAL: 8 out of 10
LISTED BY: Loring Woodriff of McLean Faulconer, 295-1131
Were architectural historians all frustrated dentists? That's not as absurd a question as it might seem. How else to explain the proliferation in old houses of "bridgings," "caps," "dentil molding," "braces," and– our favorite– "mousetooth cornices"?
This fascinating line of inquiry occurred to us as we toured this week's house, reputed to be the oldest existing residence on Ridge Street, built around 1844. As Charlottesville old-timers know, historic houses were usually designated by the names of their original owners, and thus this "two-story, three-bay, single-pile, vernacular dwelling set on an English basement" is the "Bibb-Wolfe House." That's because, according to surveyor Eugenia Bibb, it was built for John H. Bibb (no relation) (in 1844) and sold to Ezra M. Wolfe (in 1852).
Federal style buildings– with such elements as Flemish bond brickwork, a roof parapet, and those mousetooth cornices– were popular on Ridge Street, but the design is modified a little here with a Greek Revival entrance– a six-panel, fluted-pilastered entrance door surrounded by rectangular transom and sidelights that Ms. Bibb calls "extremely fine." Unfortunately, some time ago the fine door was purloined, but the transom and sidelights remain, one of the most striking elements of the house, creating a beautiful entrance indeed.
The latest owner bought the place after it had languished for years as a rental unit and rooming house, suffering all the slings and arrows such uses are prone to. Which is to say, she had a lot of work to do to prepare the place for the demands of today's buyers. In her renovations, she has tried to walk the fine line between historical accuracy and modern alterations.
Among the former are installation of reclaimed heart pine flooring in the kitchen, handmade pine sinks in all three and a half baths, stripping and refinishing (instead of replacing) original windows, which are impressive "double-sash six-over-six-light with lintels and corner blocks," in Ms. Bibb's words.
The house has a fireplace in every room (except the kitchen), and of the six, one in each parlor and one in the basement have been converted to gas, two in the upstairs bedrooms are open but unusable, and the second one in the basement is blocked.
The kitchen, in a 1912 addition at the back of the house, is admirable for its restraint. White cabinets, butcher-block counters, and stainless appliances are within easy reach. No foolish space-wasting island, built-in wine rack, or other unnecessary geegaws clutter up the room.
Down a step, a breakfast area might be awkward to use placed as it is in front of the back door, but it's a nice space anyway, and skylights in both rooms are a smart touch that add a lot without compromising the integrity of the original house (this is the later addition, after all).
The renovation includes a new full kitchen in the English basement, which– along with a private entrance under the front entry– makes it useful as a rental unit, an au pair apartment, or just really nice guest quarters. Or a new owner might want to decorate this area informally and repair to it as a respite from the more formal symmetry of the upstairs.
Mechanicals are all new, of course: dual-zone gas heat (no radiators, alas), AC, new standing-seam metal roof (which is what Bibb and Wolfe enjoyed, too), and a perfect brick path to the front door from the impressive stone wall out on Ridge Street.
Mirroring the mirror effect of the two-over-two design, pairs of magnolia and cedar trees– as well as boxwoods and a large crepe myrtle– flank the new entrance portico, an exact replica of the original pictured in an 1874 photo.
The few jarring aspects of the renovation such as dull mustard-yellow paint everywhere downstairs, an anachronistic ceiling fan (why, in a house with central air?), and Motel 6 tub and shower surrounds, are not enough to devalue the other good work that's been done.
In short, the oldest house on Ridge Street has been updated into a residence that won't make purists gnash their teeth. If it won't take too big a bite out of the budget, anyone looking for property downtown should not brush off this flossy place.

Protecting water facilities cost-efficiently
The challenge when protecting water treatment facilities from intruders is the remote locations they are often situated at, with large areas to monitor. Apart from protecting the boundaries, there is a need for surveillance at operating points, reservoirs, water and sewage systems, and stations. Thanks to Axis' technology using high quality video, thermal imaging, audio and data systems you can improve the security of your facility based on:
Outstanding image quality in difficult light
With Axis you can detect and avoid entry at critical points by high speed PTZ cameras that pan, tilt and zoom into the area of alarm. These cameras can also operate in dark, foggy, or other difficult weather conditions, thanks to Axis' Lightfinder that transforms murky pictures to sharp, identifiable ones.
Possibility to monitor the entire water treatment process
Using our range of video surveillance solutions at your water treatment plant, you can monitor the entire process for deviations in the process stream or finished water – and intervene before damage has been done.

- The teams split their three meetings a season ago, each winning once on their home ground, with the third meeting (in Commerce City) reaching a draw.
- Each team won away from home in the series in 2012, for the first time in a while. FC Dallas won at Dick's Sporting Goods Park for the first time since 2007, while the Rapids won in Frisco for the first time since 2008.
- The teams did meet in MLS Cup 2010 in Toronto, an own goal in extra time giving the Rapids a 2-1 victory and their first league title.
- Coaches record: Pablo Mastroeni v DAL: first game … Oscar Pareja vs. COL: first game
FC Dallas saw their winless streak extended to eight matches, dropping a 2-1 result to the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening at Toyota Stadium. FC Dallas sit in fifth place in the Western Conference with 18 points from 15 games.
- FC Dallas opened the scoring in the 16th minute. After a cross sailed through the area, Fabian Castillo sent a cross back in from the right flank, and Blas Perez hammered home a spectacular volley from the heart of the area.
- But the Earthquakes drew level in the 27th minute through a bit of controversy. A corner kick sailed into the box and Steven Lenhart appeared to knock it down with his arm, but the ball fell for Atiba Harris to drive into the goal and it stood for the equalizer.
- FC Dallas went a man down in the 33rd minute when Adam Moffat received his second yellow card in the space of eight minutes, getting his marching orders from Jose Carlos Rivero.
- The Quakes then hit for the game-winner in the 45th minute when midfielder Jean Baptiste Pierazzi took advantage of space in the midfield to hit a wonder-strike from 35 yards out, a powerful shot sailed past Dallas goalkeeper Chris Seitz into the top of the goal.
- FC Dallas had a great chance to level in first-half stoppage time when Jordan Stewart was called for a foul in the area, leading to a penalty kick for Fabian Castillo. San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch read the attempt and made the save to preserve the lead.
- FCD head coach Oscar Pareja made no changes to the team that reached a scoreless draw with Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium.
- FC DALLAS (4-4-2): Chris Seitz - Zach Loyd, Walker Zimmerman, Matt Hedges, Moises Hernandez (Jair Benitez 46) - Je-Vaughn Watson (Ryan Hollingshead 72), Victor Ulloa, Adam Moffat (ejected 37), Fabian Castillo - Blas Perez (Peter Luccin 46), Tesho Akindele.
- FC Dallas had their winless run extended to eight games in the defeat by San Jose. It's tied for the fourth longest winless run in the club's 19-year history; the club record is 13 games, set during the 2012 season.
- "There are no excuses for not getting the points. We take full responsibility. I'm very upset, especially with myself and us as a team, not to provide results with the effort, with the energy, with the way we work," said FCD head coach Oscar Pareja. "We did not provide results and we feel bad for our fans, for the people who support our club because this is business and we need to get results."
- Over the course of the winless run, FC Dallas have not scored more than one goal in any game, and have scored just six times in the eight matches, while conceding 14.
- "We've put ourselves in this position," said goalkeeper Chris Seitz. "We know that we have the answers in the locker room and we have to dig ourselves out. We all need to step up and hold ourselves accountable first and foremost and move from there."
- Blas Perez scored his fourth goal of the season, his first since April 19, in opening the scoring.
- Ryan Hollingshead made his MLS debut, coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute. Hollingshead was a second-round selection in the 2013 SuperDraft (No. 20 overall) out of UCLA.
- "I just want to keep playing, and keep making this team better, but still it's sour not getting a win, going down 10 men pretty early in the game," Hollingshead said. "… You don't want your debut to be a loss, but obviously excited to get on the field, and want to keep getting out there and start scoring goals, start making this team better."
- Fabian Castillo recorded his second assist of the season, his first since April 26. Castillo also saw a penalty kick saved in the first half. Castillo has a goal and an assist over the past four games.
- "When a player assumes that [responsibility] and he wants to take [the PK] and you're his teammate and he wants to take the PK and his teammates allow him, it's part of the game," said Pareja. "When you take that opportunity, you take that responsibility as well. So, Fabian and the people who it was assigned to, they know what happened."
- When Adam Moffat was sent off in the first half, it was the sixth red card of the season for FC Dallas, matching Chivas USA for most in MLS this season.
- "I am just focusing on my team and how can I get the best of this group. And see if we can finally play another game with 11. That has been a little bit of a challenge," Pareja said. "I refuse to train with 10. We need to see if on Saturdays we can have the discipline to finish with 11."
The Colorado Rapids recorded their second consecutive shutout, reaching a scoreless draw with the Chicago Fire on Wednesday evening at at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids are in third place in the Western Conference with 22 points from 14 games.
- Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson was called upon to make two saves in the match, including a late stop on substiture Deshorn Brown to keep the scores level.
- Rapids goalkeeper John Berner, making his first start since the third match of the season, was not required to make a single save.
- Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni made eight changes to the team that rolled to a 3-0 win against the Houston Dynamo at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Only center backs Shane O'Neill and Drew Moor and midfielder Nick LaBrocca kept their places.
- COLORADO RAPIDS (4-4-2): John Berner - Thomas Piermayr, Shane O'Neill, Drew Moor, Marc Burch - John Neeskens (Dillon Powers 68), Jared Watts, Nick LaBrocca, Charles Eloundou (Dillon Serna 75) - Danny Mwanga (Deshorn Brown 59), Marlon Hairston.
- The Rapids have recorded shutouts in consecutive games for the third time this season, and now have seven defensive clean sheets this season.
- "I don't think we were as clinical as we wanted to be in that final third. In games like this it's got to be real sharp, and done with a bit more urgency on that final pass and final shot," said Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni. "Having said that they guys put out a great effort, and we got a clean sheet. The mentality was right, and I think it's a performance to build on going towards the weekend."
- John Berner made his fourth start of the season in goal, his first since starting the opening three matches of the season. It was his first shutout since a 3-0 win vs. Portland on March 22.
- "I think you don't realize what you have until you give them an opportunity. I think these guys that stepped on the field did a really good job, and did themselves real proud. They worked their tails off, and found ways to get involved in the game," said Mastroeni. "I think the guys that came in towards the latter part of the game did a great job influencing the game on their terms as well. Overall, it was a good performance."
- Said defender Shane O'Neill: "We were trying to move the ball a bit quicker, and get the ball up the field a bit quicker. Sometimes that worked out, sometimes it worked against us a little bit. I think at the end of the day, the second half was a good performance, we just didn't find the back of the net. At the end of the day, it was positive to get a point."
- John Neeskens made his Rapids and MLS debut, coming in on the right of midfield, while Charles Eloundou made his first start May 7 on the other flank.
- Danny Mwanga and Marlon Hairston formed the strike partnership for the first time since the May 11 3-1 loss to Chivas USA.
- "There were a lot of good performances across that midfield and up top as well. It's a team. They are young guys, but they are experienced in the game of soccer. The most important part is that they are soccer players," said Mastroeni. "When you say it's the team, it's one thing to say it, it's another thing to show it, and I think tonight those guys showed that they are capable of playing at this level, which brings confidence to the whole group."
- The trip to Frisco is the only away match in a six-game span from May 24-July 4 for the Rapids. They've taken seven of a possible nine points to start the swing.
- Said O'Neill: "It's our first Western Conference game in three games. It'll be a big game for us. I think Oscar [Pareja] does [play a part in the impact of the game]. We do want to go down there and win, to get this win for the club and for ourselves. We have a point to prove, and I think we're on a high right now, and we've just got to bring it down there, all cylinders firing. I think we moved the ball in the second half really well, and if we do that the whole game down in Dallas, I think we'll get the win."

AS we celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, we reflect on the life and legacy of this great man. But recent legislation on voting reminds us that there is still work to do. Since January, a majority of state legislatures have passed or considered election-law changes that, taken together, constitute the most concerted effort to restrict the right to vote since before the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Growing up as the son of an Alabama sharecropper, I experienced Jim Crow firsthand. It was enforced by the slander of "separate but equal," willful blindness to acts of racially motivated violence and the threat of economic retaliation. The pernicious effect of those strategies was to institutionalize second-class citizenship and restrict political participation to the majority alone.
We have come a long way since the 1960s. When the Voting Rights Act was passed, there were only 300 elected African-American officials in the United States; today there are more than 9,000, including 43 members of Congress. The 1993 National Voter Registration Act — also known as the Motor Voter Act — made it easier to register to vote, while the 2002 Help America Vote Act responded to the irregularities of the 2000 presidential race with improved election standards.
Despite decades of progress, this year's Republican-backed wave of voting restrictions has demonstrated that the fundamental right to vote is still subject to partisan manipulation. The most common new requirement, that citizens obtain and display unexpired government-issued photo identification before entering the voting booth, was advanced in 35 states and passed by Republican legislatures in Alabama, Minnesota, Missouri and nine other states — despite the fact that as many as 25 percent of African-Americans lack acceptable identification.
Having fought for voting rights as a student, I am especially troubled that these laws disproportionately affect young voters. Students at state universities in Wisconsin cannot vote using their current IDs (because the new law requires the cards to have signatures, which those do not). South Carolina prohibits the use of student IDs altogether. Texas also rejects student IDs, but allows voting by those who have a license to carry a concealed handgun. These schemes are clearly crafted to affect not just how we vote, but who votes.
Conservative proponents have argued for photo ID mandates by claiming that widespread voter impersonation exists in America, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. While defending its photo ID law before the Supreme Court, Indiana was unable to cite a single instance of actual voter impersonation at any point in its history. Likewise, in Kansas, there were far more reports of U.F.O. sightings than allegations of voter fraud in the past decade. These theories of systematic fraud are really unfounded fears being exploited to threaten the franchise.
In Georgia, Florida, Ohio and other states, legislatures have significantly reduced opportunities to cast ballots before Election Day — an option that was disproportionately used by African-American voters in 2008. In this case the justification is often fiscal: Republicans in North Carolina attempted to eliminate early voting, claiming it would save money. Fortunately, the effort failed after the State Election Board demonstrated that cuts to early voting would actually be more expensive because new election precincts and additional voting machines would be required to handle the surge of voters on Election Day.
Voters in other states weren't so lucky. Florida has cut its early voting period by half, from 96 mandated hours over 14 days to a minimum of 48 hours over just eight days, and has severely restricted voter registration drives, prompting the venerable League of Women Voters to cease registering voters in the state altogether. Again, this affects very specific types of voters: according to the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice, African-Americans and Latinos were more than twice as likely as white voters to register through a voter registration drive.
These restrictions purportedly apply to all citizens equally. In reality, we know that they will disproportionately burden African Americans and other racial minorities, yet again. They are poll taxes by another name.
The King Memorial reminds us that out of a mountain of despair we may hew a stone of hope. Forty-eight years after the March on Washington, we must continue our work with hope that all citizens will have an unfettered right to vote. Second-class citizenship is not citizenship at all.
We've come some distance and have made great progress, but Dr. King's dream has not been realized in full. New restraints on the right to vote do not merely slow us down. They turn us backward, setting us in the wrong direction on a course where we have already traveled too far and sacrificed too much.

Though there are plenty of important discussions debating the semantics of whether or not Christians are subject to the Law, as given by Moses, that is not my subject today.
Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.
Proverbs 29:18
When you think of someone who does not keep the law, what do you see? Is it a stereotype you imagine, a rough looking individual? Does the phrase "cast off restraint" make you think of Mardi Gras in New Orleans? At its most basic definition, lawlessness means without law. That does not necessarily mean against the law. It is a very important distinction we must see.
The spirit of lawlessness has borders that might surprise the average believer and there are some very interesting ways this spirit affects people. In fact, it may shock you to hear that most people today have it. A spirit of lawlessness has paved the way in the hearts of men to think and do a myriad of appalling things.
The subject of lawlessness goes deep and has far reaching ramifications. The distance of which, we as the Church, underestimate.
To begin with, God makes the rules. He set the laws of nature, of what is love, what is holy and so on. He set them all, regardless if we accept them as true or not. We cannot rewrite the laws, the standard, that God set into motion. But that is exactly what we try to do. We are ridiculous and head strong.
Each of us has our own personal concepts and our personal defining of what is right and wrong, even in light of scripture we do this. We actually put our individual self on the scale of righteousness. Like a shade of gray on the spectrum from black to white. If Adam did that and shifted the awareness of his own sinfulness and need for the Lord and then next generation shifted that a notch down the ladder? Multiply that from generation to generation further on the scale away from holiness. Our "perceptions" are so far off the mark now that we are standing neck deep in sin and claim we are barely up to our ankles.
"And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold."
Matthew 24:12
This personal standard (pure invention) of right and wrong sets up an entire panorama of justification for sin and perception on who is in error. Yes, it means hating God's law in many cases (some would argue "all cases"), but this lawless spirit goes farther. Some of it is along the lines of 'what is right for you is not what is right for me' but that is way over simplified. Really that is just the first layer. The foundation being- we as creatures are steeped in sin and we refuse to conform or obey ANY standard unless we ourselves judge it to be acceptable. By doing that- we are setting our own laws– not conforming, but instead copying portions of a premade set of standards. Creating our own new set, and because these new laws are our own, we can flex them and bend them to allow ourselves to still be "sinless" in our own eyes and therefore above judgment. What a set up! We are fooling ourselves. It is exactly as if we are plugging our ears and singing "Free To Be You And Me" as loudly as we can, all the while believing that butterflies and sunshine await us when we die. Denying truth and embracing the lie.
Jesus said, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!"
Matthew 7:23
"Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Matthew 13:40-42
We cannot reject God's law without consequence. We are not above judgment. We are not sinless. We do not set the standard. So then, what can we do? Can we correct this gross distortion our society (and the Church) is entrenched with? Perhaps. I believe we need to start within each of ourselves and teach our children as well. We must pull in the reigns on our ideologies. Correct our vision. We must get on our faces before the Most Holy and pray for revelation:
Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.
Proverbs 29:18
When we receive revelation FROM GOD, we see clearly. The false perceptions we have fall off like scales from our eyes. Restraint becomes very important suddenly… Righteous living, or rather living within the standard that God has set, has enormous significance as a result. Therefore, our personal relationship with the Lord will intensify and deepen. One by one, we raise the societal standard of righteousness and holy living… OR one by one we each lower that standard.
Today, the Church has a choice.

Salary Increase Budgets Holding Steady for 2009
- Authors:
Publication Date:
August 2008
Companies are responding to the sluggish economy by remaining disciplined on labor costs according to the annual U.S. survey of salary increase budget conducted by The Conference Board. Increases for 2008 are budgeted below 4 percent and seem destined to remain near that level in 2009. Median actual salaries increase budget is 3.80 percent, and 72 percent of companies plan merit increases. Figures are reported overall and by industry.

Thanks for the reply.Grew up in South Dakota, so I know how right you are about shoveling. All we shovel here is sunshine.Anyway, sounds like an interesting idea using your recirculating method. Can you recommend a size of sump pump (never bought one)?Also, if I switch to a plate chiller, can I simply submerge the entire chiller into an ice tub? Or do I go the route of the sump pump again?
As an alternative to buying ice you can let your wort chill in your fermentation chamber overnight. I've done this literally hundreds on times with no ill effects. It's kinda nice not to have to worry with aerating and pitching till the next am.

USN-1778-1: Linux kernel (OMAP4) vulnerabilities
22 March 2013
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
- linux-ti-omap4 - Linux kernel for OMAP4
Andrew Jones discovered a flaw with the xen_iret function in Linux kernel's
Xen virtualizeation. In the 32-bit Xen paravirt platform an unprivileged
guest OS user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash
the system) or gain guest OS privilege. (CVE-2013-0228)
A flaw was reported in the permission checks done by the Linux kernel for
/dev/cpu/*/msr. A local root user with all capabilities dropped could
exploit this flaw to execute code with full root capabilities.
A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's vhost driver used to accelerate
guest networking in KVM based virtual machines. A privileged guest user
could exploit this flaw to crash the host system. (CVE-2013-0311)
An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth stack
when HIDP (Human Interface Device Protocol) support is enabled. A local
unprivileged user could exploit this flaw to cause an information leak from
the kernel. (CVE-2013-0349)
A flaw was discovered on the Linux kernel's VFAT filesystem driver when a
disk is mounted with the utf8 option (this is the default on Ubuntu). On a
system where disks/images can be auto-mounted or a FAT filesystem is
mounted an unprivileged user can exploit the flaw to gain root privileges.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 11.10
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. If
you use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as
well to get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you
manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic,
linux-server, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically
perform this as well.

Emotion and Meaning in Music
University of Chicago Press, 1 jun. 2008 - 315 páginas
"Altogether it is a book that should be required reading for any student of music, be he composer, performer, or theorist. It clears the air of many confused notions . . . and lays the groundwork for exhaustive study of the basic problem of music theory and aesthetics, the relationship between pattern and meaning."—David Kraehenbuehl, Journal of Music Theory "This is the best study of its kind to have come to the attention of this reviewer."—Jules Wolffers, The Christian Science Monitor
"It is not too much to say that his approach provides a basis for the meaningful discussion of emotion and meaning in all art."—David P. McAllester, American Anthropologist
"A book which should be read by all who want deeper insights into music listening, performing, and composing."—Marcus G. Raskin, Chicago Review

Rieder: 'Jet' magazine makes a digital landing
Samir Husni took this one hard.
Husni, founder and director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi and the man who trademarked his nickname "Mr. Magazine," was doing some consulting in Cape Town, South Africa, when he got the news about Jet.
Jet, a 63-year-old publication aimed at the black community, played an important role in thrusting the civil rights movement into the American consciousness. On Wednesday, the pocket-size magazine, which already had cut back from weekly publication to once every three weeks, announced that it will be converting into a digital weekly at the end of June.
"I've never been as saddened by the demise of a magazine as much as I was by the news about Jet," Husni says. "It's an American institution."
It's easy to see Jet's fate as yet another nail in the coffin of print in a digital world. But the reality is more complicated. Many magazines continue to make money, albeit not as much as in their halcyon days. Husni points out that quite a number of titles have recently published their largest issues ever. There are about 10,000 magazines today, as opposed to 2,000 in 1980. And a number of digital-based magazines have made forays into the print world.
Similarly, newspapers, while embattled, don't seem on the verge of going away anytime soon. Again, many are profitable. And a number of intriguing new players — think investment superstar Warren Buffett, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, Boston Red Sox owner John Henry, Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, free-spending Orange County Register owner Aaron Kushner — have been drawn to a field once largely consigned to the dustbin of history. Suddenly we have new newspaper wars in Los Angeles, New Orleans, Long Beach.
So Husni takes another lesson from Jet's shift. It's a crowded, competitive market out there, and you've got to put out a first-class product to compete. And that means investment. Jet, Husni feels, was moving in the opposite direction, with thin issues and less frequent publication.
But while Husni is in mourning, Desiree Rogers, CEO of Johnson Publishing, which owns Ebony as well as Jet, would urge the magazine maven not to be so blue. Rogers, a former White House social secretary in the Obama administration, sees the development as a move back to Jet's roots.
Jet was born as a small, digest-size publication intended to be a quick read. "In the world today, everything is moving faster. There is more news and far less time to read it," founder John Johnson said in the first issue back in 1951.
Jet had gotten away from its weekly format, Rogers points out. Now, it will be weekly again, presenting a new issue every seven days on a paid app ($20 a year) for mobile devices. The magazine also will post breaking news updates daily on its website.
Rogers says the quick digital read will be a perfect complement to Ebony, with its longer-form pieces on lifestyle issues
Jet will continue to cover entertainment, politics, pop culture and social issues important to the black community. But Rogers is excited about the new features the new format makes possible.
Instead of just mentioning that hot new movie, Jet will link to a trailer. In the Love and Marriage section, Jet may take you to the wedding.
Johnson Publishing is a private company, and Rogers won't discuss the magazine's financial state. But she says pointedly that Jet's printing and postage bills are a formidable challenge, given the magazine's rate base of 700,000.
So what would founder Johnson, whose magazine's high point was its groundbreaking coverage of the Emmett Till lynching in Mississippi in 1955, think of the forthcoming digital plunge?
"If Mr, Johnson were here," Rogers says, "he would have said, 'What took you guys so long?'"

Toxicologist estimates Josh Brent had 17 drinks before fatal crash
- Brent is on trial for intoxication manslaughter and faces up to 20 years in jail
- He was the driver in a crash that killed Dallas Cowboys teammate Jerry Brown Jr.
- The wreck occurred in 2012 after two men left a Dallas club
DALLAS –– A forensic toxicologist estimates that ex-Cowboy Josh Brent consumed 17 drinks the night he crashed his Mercedes along an Irving highway, resulting in the death of friend and teammate Jerry Brown Jr.
Justin Schwane is the man who tested a sample of Brent's blood after the crash and determined his blood alcohol content to be .18, more than twice the legal limit of .08. He was the first witness to take the stand Wednesday at the Frank Crowley Courthouse, the third day of testimony in Brent's trial.
"I estimate approximately 17 standard size drinks in a 320 to 325 pound man like him," Schwane said.
Brent told police he drank fewer than five.
Schwane works for the Southwest Institute of Forensic Science or SWIFS. Under cross-examination defense attorney Deanna Grant questioned Schwane on his credentials and on the integrity of the blood alcohol testing.
She questioned how Brent's blood was stored, what additives were used to test the blood and about the testing equipment used.
Grant is trying to show the equipment was contaminated. During test runs, she said, a trace of alcohol showed up in a vial of pure water.
Schwane stood firm on his testimony, saying the tests met industry standards, the vials were properly stored and the equipment is not contaminated.
The wreck occurred on Dec. 8, 2012 after the two men left Club Privae in northwest Dallas. Prosecutors say a drunken Brent hit a curb and flipped his Mercedes. Brown died after the crash and Brent was charged with intoxication manslaughter.
On Tuesday, the jury saw video of his arrest. Brent was aggravated that an officer was drawing his blood to test for alcohol. Irving Ofc. Travis Huckaby testified the retired Cowboy seemed "more concerned about getting home" than the fate of his friend. He said Brent's "eyes welled up with tears and for the first time showed real emotion" upon being told his friend was dead.
Testimony is continuing Wednesday afternoon. Waitresses at the restaurants and clubs where Brent and other Dallas Cowboys players were partying in the hours leading up to the crash are expected to take the stand.
In addition to the intoxication manslaughter charge, Brent was also indicted for manslaughter. If a jury finds he was not intoxicated, he can still be convicted on the second count. He faces up to 20 years in prison but could also be sentenced to probation.
Brent's attorneys do not deny he was driving too fast when he flipped his car, killing Brown.
