Chesterton Tribune
Indiana lawmakers seek decentralized school choices
TOM LoBIANCO,
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two Republican state senators announced Wednesday they
will push measures to decentralize school leadership in Indiana and pull the
state out of a national education initiative.
Some high-performing schools would be allowed to choose their own curriculum
under a plan from Sen. Mike Delph of Carmel. A separate proposal from Sen.
Scott Schneider of Indianapolis calls for ending Indiana's participation in
the national Common Core Standards, a set of uniform benchmarks for math and
If successful, Schneider's measure would mark another rebuttal of the
sweeping education changes pushed by departing state schools superintendent
Tony Bennett and outgoing Gov. Mitch Daniels — this time from the right.
Incoming School Superintendent Glenda Ritz, a Democrat, capitalized during
the November elections on many conservatives' angst over losing local
control under the national standards. She beat Bennett, a Republican, after
promising to return more power to local school administrators.
Bennett and the state's education board signed off on Common Core Standards
in 2010.
"I am worried that Common Core was pushed on Indiana without proper review
of what it will mean for students and teachers," Schneider said in a press
statement Wednesday. His bill is scheduled for a committee hearing Jan. 16.
Delph's proposal calls for giving high-performing schools more control over
their curriculum and builds on an education package he unsuccessfully pushed
in the last legislative session.
Under his plan, certain school systems would be allowed to build their own
curriculum, establish their own teacher evaluations, set their own class
schedules and create independent plans for career and technical training.
School districts would have to meet a series of requirements before winning
autonomy from the state: At least 25 percent of students would have to score
above a 2 on at least one Advanced Placement Exam or graduate with a
technical honors diploma. At least 90 percent of students must graduate
across the district, and the average SAT scores would need to be greater
than the statewide average.
"Districts with proven track records could create environments that better
fit their students' academic needs and capabilities," Delph said. "This
would allow these students to reach their fullest potential."
Lawmakers return for a lengthy 2013 session on Monday.

They do enable man in the middle attacks, however, so that while your connection cannot be snooped "passively", somebody in the middle (say, in possession of any intermediary router) can pretend to be both sides by establishing simulations of the connections requested and forwarding the traffic. Similarly, if somebody has both my public and private keys they very likely can get into my system and insert trojans into it and directly snoop everything I do, access kmem, own my view of the universe through completely bugged network and peripheral eyes. Encryption is never any better than the physical and network and systems security on which it is implemented, as it is a weak-link problem. But otherwise sure. Similar things for WPA vs WEP as I recall -- WEP doesn't change the ephemeral keys. But encryption is more a hobby associated with my interest in information theory and random numbers than a speciality. I didn't realize that they'd made 1024 bit keys vulnerable at this point. I'm guessing that "vulnerable" still means "vulnerable to people with obscene amounts of free computer time and not enough to do" as opposed to "vulnerable" as in airsnort makes WEP vulnerable to pimply faced kids with old laptops, but still, worth knowing, thanks! rgb -- Robert G.

When it came to Happy Endings getting axed, we at Obsessed protested until we were blog-hoarse, until after most devoted fans had given up, shuffling home and giving us looks like Dude, come on, it's over.
And, yes, it is over, and I miss the show already. Luckily, now that the official mourning period has passed, Happy Endings' sensational six are all lining up stuff so exciting that I'll soon be receiving the other kind of stares I usually get: Dude, come on, it hasn't even happened yet. Calm down. But look how exciting!
Damon Wayans Jr. will star opposite Jake Johnson in Let's Be Cops on the big screen—and also on the small screen on New Girl. He's set to reprise his pilot role of Coach in an arc this season. Zach Knighton, meanwhile, will star in the dark comedy__Teddy Bears__, along with Community's Gillian Jacobs.
Then there's the Kerkovich sisters. When it comes to newlywed Elisha Cuthbert (she married NHL star Dion Phaneuf in July!), all you want to hear is whether she's returning for the 24: Live Another Day sequel series, right? Nothing official has been announced yet, but I feel like the odds are in your favor, Bauer fans. Meanwhile, Eliza Coupe is exploding with work: she'll recur on CBS's new sitcom The Millers this season (playing Will Arnett's ex-wife) and just inked a deal to recur as a female-Zuckerberg type on Showtime's House of Cards. Love that. Oh, and she'll also star in the ensemble indie comedy The Last Time You Had Fun with Demetri Martin, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, and Kyle Bornheimer.
Finally, we've got Penny and Max, whom we miss with that fervent my-camp-BFF-is-the-only-one-who-gets-me year-round pining. Adam Pally is gonna guest on The Mindy Project, which just works perfectly for me. He'll play a doctor who's new to the practice (and one, I hope, who's quick to zing James Franco). Casey Wilson, meanwhile, has the kid-pageant-themed Ass Backwards out this fall. She and her writing partner, June Diane Raphael (the two co-wrote and both star in Backwards), also have a slew of TV projects in the works. Oh, and you can see Casey on Comedy Bang Bang on IFC this Friday. Everybody's gonna be OK, including us.
Whom do you miss the most from the show?

Asked by Cathy, California
I have been having infertility issues for over three years (including many failed IVFs, and miscarriages). Over the last year, I have had good friend after good friend announce her pregnancy. Literally, at least one per month. I am happy for them because I care for them, but each time I hear those words it hurts worse and worse. When I am around them they talk mommy-talk (as they should) but being around them just throws me into depression. I'm afraid to even see my other girlfriends who are "trying" because I know at any second they'll have "good news." How can I be supportive of them while protecting my heart, emotions and mental health?
Mental Health Expert
Dr. Charles Raison
Emory University Medical School
Dear Cathy,
You are in a tough situation, but you have a couple of important things going for you. The first is that you recognize clearly the link between your depression and the joy of others. What's important is that you don't just feel badly that your friends are able to get pregnant, but that you feel badly about feeling badly. You are bothered that you are not able to share their joy. This puts you in a very workable situation. It would be much worse if you did not recognize the role that envy is playing in your current emotional symptoms.
Let's set aside the pregnancy issue for a moment and talk about envy. It's not a subject we like to talk about much, because it is embarrassing. In fact, the sensation of envy is one of life's most painful feelings and has been linked time and again in studies to a risk for depression. In fact, some evolutionary psychologists think that a major cause for the increase in depression in the modern world is the fact that we are exposed by the media to the best of everything. Back in tribal times, when people knew 100 to 200 people during their entire lives, it was very likely that nearly everyone was the best -- or almost the best -- at something. Nowadays, we are bombarded constantly by images of people who are the best in the world, so we are constantly burdened with a sense that we are mediocre at everything -- even if we are talented.
It is a natural human tendency to want to recoil from situations that cause us pain. In your case this has led to you wanting to avoid anyone and anything that might become associated with achieving what you so desire, but have been unable to accomplish. This is completely understandable, but it is exactly the wrong strategy if you want to solve your problem. Instead of running from what causes us pain, therapeutic treatments usually involve us going directly into our fears. If germs give you the willies, a therapist will have you stick your hands in dirt for an hour. If you are afraid of flying, a therapist will put you on a plane. In each of these instances, a therapist will help the patient gradually work up to these accomplishments, but the way is clear: not away from the pain and fear, but into it.
So in your case I strongly recommend that you do exactly the opposite of what you have been doing. Make a choice to become as active as you can in the lives of your friends and their children. Go with them if you can on their prenatal visits. Every time you feel that twinge of pain, go toward it. Tell yourself that it is completely understandable. Let yourself feel bad about your situation, but don't beat yourself up about feelings of envy or upset. The trick is to become active against these feelings. So when they arise, go out and deal with them by consciously choosing to get as close to the happiness of others as you can. At first this will be difficult, but it will become easier and easier with the passage of time, and as it becomes easier your unhappiness will lift.
So, one important strength that you have is recognizing that envy is making you miserable. Your second strength is more physiological. If you have had miscarriages, this means that you and your partner are capable of fertilizing an egg. Part of what will help you, if you follow my advice about going toward the happiness of your friends, is that it requires action, and taking action against our problems is probably the single most powerful thing we can do for ourselves. In your case, if you've had the financial resources to go through multiple in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, you may have the means to consider working with a surrogate as a way of being able to have a child that is genetically yours. The odds of a successful outcome for someone like you would be very high. And by the way, I know what I'm talking about here: My wife and I have two beautiful baby boys born by surrogate; this after my wife nearly died from complications while pregnant herself.

Ariana Grande Releases Full 'Baby I' Video
She teased us with a snippet of her new video yesterday (Sept. 5), but Ariana Grande didn't keep us waiting long: Her full music video for single 'Baby I' is out now!
The video is just as cute and colorful as the sneak peek led us to believe it would be. Ariana is smiling throughout the clip, which takes place in a city setting. Colorfully garbed hip-hop dancers surround her as she dances in on the street, at a house party, on a rooftop, in a moving bus -- with the displayed destination of 'Baby I,' of course!
The whole clip matches the tune's sunny attitude -- Ariana fans won't be the only ones smiling watching it!

Physical training is a business worth venturing in to. Just like any other form of business, a physical trainer needs to live by some values for their business to be among the successful ones. All the very successful physical trainers have masters all these values and if you had not incorporated them into your business, then start doing that now. The same goes for Brentwood and every other area.
Before even starting physical training with a client, you need to understand the expectations that are anticipated. The expectations of the client are always higher than that of a trainer. Effective client- trainer communication skills will ensure that these two expectations are well harmonized together. For you to improve the communication between you and the client, and for your professionalism to be evident, here are some core values that you have to put into your Brentwood business.
The first thing you need to do is to become the best you can. This is done through the constant improvement of knowledge and skills that are related to your business. There are several training colleges and universities that you can attend to achieve this. In addition, strive for certification as most of the clients today tend to have more trust on the certified trainers rather than the uncertified. You should also attend seminars and learn more through tutorials on the internet and the likes. Do not fear to spend time and money to achieve your very best.
Accountability is also of great importance. If your communication with your client ends when they leave the door of your gym, then you risk losing them to other trainers. If not to other trainers, they may easily give up along the way. The best thing to do is to contact them as frequent as possible and to keep track of their progress wherever they are. It is through your regular contacts that they will be able to stay focused hence achievement of their goals.
In addition to this, you need to show all your Brentwood clients the kindness they deserve. In case some clients feel like they are not being treated well; they will have no otherwise, but to leave. It's up to you to understand that all your clients are your best clients. If you treat other clients better than others, those that feel inferior will start leaving, and that's when you will discover how valuable they were to your business. Unfortunately, it will be too late to overturn the mistake.
As a Brentwood TN personal trainer, you also need to ensure that you are as prompt as possible. Remember that it is because of the clients that your business is running. You, therefore, need to respect the time of your trainees, and you will reap better fruits than those trainers who feel that their clients need them more than the vice versa. Your clients need you more than you need them should be the principle that governs you. Be professional and respect your clients by creating certainty in their mind for whatever thing you are doing.
A personal trainer in Brentwood needs to be very flexible. Once again, remember that this is a business, and no business person should be rigid to ideas. Never stick to only one program because a program that works well for someone may not work equally well in the second person. For instance, the fat and cholesterol composition in one person may be different from the other. This means that while one will respond well when subjected to an exercise that increases the rate of metabolism, the other may respond positively with another form of exercise. Do not insist on only one program because it did wonders to client A. Although you need to be patient with each and every client, do not be patient with the programs. Flexibility is an aspect of patience to the client.
A personal trainer needs to be present at almost all the times when the client is doing the workouts. Remember that the sessions are about the clients and not a trainer. If they are visiting your gym, then that's good enough. However, if you drafted them a program that they needed to follow while at home, ensure that the majority of the workouts are done while you are present. All your focus should be on the client and nowhere else.

Summer is here and it's not just the weather that changes.
Ask the students the following question:
How do we know it's summer?
Where do people go during the summer holidays and what activities do they do?
Elicit summer words from the students and ask them to write the words on a piece of paper.
ex. ice cream, sunglasses, clothes, BBQ, music, movies blockbusters, festivals etc.
The Special guests in today's class are Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend- Holiday
Students watch the following music video and check if the video contains any of their words.
Song lyrics:
Students watch the video several times and listen to the lyrics. Give the students the worksheet below and ask them to fill in the gaps.
Vampire Weekend lyrics gap fill
Students check if they were correct by watching the following video with the song lyrics
Karaoke version:
Song meanings:
Ask the students what they think the song is about.
Show students what the band said about the song:
"The lyrics refer to a member of my family who gave up eating meat when we invaded Iraq. They were horrified by what was happening internationally and they lost their taste for meat. It wasn't even necessarily an overt protest, it was a physical reaction."
Ask the following questions:
What do you think about this reaction to war?
How did you react to the invasion of Iraq?
Have you ever done anything so drastic in reaction to something? (ex. death in family, failing exams etc.)
Summer party game:
I got the following activity from my great friend and fellow esl teacher, Jeremy. It never fails to work and the students have lots of fun trying to figure out the secret rule.
Tell the students that you're having a summer BBQ party and you are making a guest list.
Say that you are bringing apples to the party. Ask students what they will bring?
Students have to answer by saying 'I will bring a _______'
The secret rule is that the next item must start with the next letter in the alphabet.
If they say, 'I will bring a bottle of wine' then the teacher will say 'okay you can come to my party' but if they say something that does not begin with b then say, 'I'm sorry you can't come'. Write the list of the people who can come to your party. Keep playing until all the students discover the rule and everyone joins the party.
You can make up other rules for this game. The next item could start with the last letter of the previous item. ex. I will bring chocolate, I will bring eggs.
Getting to know the band – Vampire Weekend Interview:
Ask students if this is the first time they have seen Vampire weekend.
Ask them what they thought about the song we played previously and the interview.
Video listening comprehension:
Students listen to the interview and answer the questions on the worksheet below.
Vampire Weekend interview questions
Vampire Weekend – Giving up the gun
Tennis is officially cool with this video, featuring RZA and Jake Gyllenhaal. If only 'Wimbledon' was this exciting
Students questions:
1.How many times do you see the girl in red hitting the tennis ball?
I counted 22.
Read the following passage:
The heroine of the video isn't an amazing tennis player, but she has heart. She stays calm despite the unfairness of it all. Giving Up the Gun centers around Jenny (a friend of Vampire Weekend) and a number of opponents whom she goes up against in several matches; there's a samurai, a gigantic woman, Joe, and Jake (to name a few) and she beats all of them.
2.Do you remember a time when you didn't give up, even when things were unfair?(write an anecdote)
Song meanings:
Ask the students what they think the song is about.
Show students what the band said about the song:
I got the idea for the song from a book my Dad gave me called Giving Up The Gun. It's a history book about the time when Japan expelled all the foreigners from the country, closed off all trade, and stopped using guns and reverted back to the sword. It seems unimaginable now that humanity could willingly go back to an older technology. It got me thinking about whether you could give up the things that you have and go back to a simpler way of life.
If you were to give up something, what would it me?
How could you make your life more simple?
I hope you all have a wonderful summer. Please let me know if you have any extra suggestions for this lesson.

New topic for testing purposes
Just testing what the TOC looks like... Mark Hurd (talk) 11:01, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
FYI I've mentioned my change to "add a topic!" here for a wider audience. Mark Hurd (talk) 11:33, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Switched to level-1 header
I was just on 1110 and I noticed that all the talk page sections were showing up as the same level as content sections... leaving a "Discussion" section with nothing actually in it. While level-1 is normally reserved for article titles, it doesn't really bother people usually, and I think it's preferable to the alternative... it's also somewhat fitting, since we are transcluding another page after all. (Another option would be configuring the "new section" button to create a level-3 header on talk pages... if that's possible.) PinkAmpersand (talk) 14:33, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. This actually had been done before. Please see this discussion and add your thoughts :) Waldir (talk) 16:48, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
I noticed that the link appended onto the "add a comment!" button is {{fullurl:{{TALKPAGENAME}}|action=edit}}. Wouldn't it make more sense to have it as {{fullurl:{{TALKPAGENAME}}|action=edit§ion=new}}, as to create a new section by clicking that button? Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 15:48, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
- If someone just wants to add a comment without making a new section, the current add a comment button serves them well. Plus, headers and transclusion do not mix well, and we tend to avoid them in discussion pages unless we're not transcluding; see Time and its respective talk page. Davidy²²[talk] 16:39, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
Is there a way to keep the discussion in the TOC, but not show it on the main page?--17jiangz1 (talk) 14:35, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- Given our new comic descriptions are added by a bot, it wouldn't be too hard to add <noinclude>{{comic discussion}}</noinclude> instead of just {{comic discussion}}. Mark Hurd (talk) 03:05, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- Aren't comic descriptions added manually?--17jiangz1 (talk) 04:42, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

With no disrespect to Aaron and despite what he writes in his very first line, many fundamentalists and evangelicals don't believe God has preserved His Word, that is, unless "Word" is some generalized concept referring to the Word as a whole, not the very "Words." That is a new development in bibliology. When we talk about what God inspired, it is verbal plenary. If God preserved that, then He preserved all the Words in the order in which He gave them. If not, then I believe we are giving a whole new understanding of "keep" or "preserve." If there is some point to God's Word being individual words, then preservation of God's Word would refer to the preservation of the very Words.
Aaron's second paragraph presents a straw man as it regards the position presented by Thou Shalt Keep Them (TSKT). The book does not assert that the Bible teaches preservation of a "particular manuscript or text." In other words, we don't believe that God's Word teaches that some one single copy, not the original manuscript, wove its way through all of history untainted. We haven't argued for a promise of that. TSKT says that God's Word promises the perfect preservation of every Word and all the Words, that is, what God inspired. That's what God promises in His Word. I would welcome Aaron to show us the passage(s) that teach this "potentially discoverable" form of perfect preservation. Based upon what scripture promises about the preservation of His Word, that wouldn't even be preservation.
Let me illustrate. Let's say that I gave you 100 marbles and I promised to keep or to preserve every one of them for the rest of your life. Twenty years later, you ask for the 100 marbles back. And I say, "Here they are," and hand you a bag with 93 of them. I inform you, "I preserved your marbles." You wouldn't think that I did. You wouldn't call that preservation. No one would. Or let's say that I said, "Here are 93 of the 100 and the other 7 are 'potentially discoverable.'" No one would think that is preservation or even some legitimate form of preservation. For someone to believe that this represents what God promises in the way of preservation strains credulity.
Aaron mentioned that Moritz and others have examined the preservation passages and come to very similar conclusions as the authors of TSKT did. I don't think so. We may both use the word "preservation" or both say "God has preserved His Word," but we mean something very different when we say that. Aaron says that our side "obscure[s] the real issues in the debate and attempt[s] to frame it in a way that heavily favors [our] view." Wow. I thought we were just exposing what scripture said about preservation, what I would hope that Aaron and other believers would think is a good thing. I would want to know how we obscure the real issues. And I would wonder what he thinks "the real issues" are. I never got any specifics from his article, just the accusation.
If someone takes a position that differs from Scripture or that contradicts what God's Word teaches, from where should we say that he has received his view? If it not biblical teaching, isn't it concocted by men. Aren't those men influenced by something extra-scriptural? If God's Word teaches something and we refuse to believe it, are we believing or unbelieving in that instance? I think we know the answer. From where does unscriptural teaching originate? It has to come from somewhere and I think it isn't hard to demonstrate that it comes from rationalism or humanism. We have orthodox doctrine in the Bible and then in history. If some new doctrine originates, it isn't unusual to investigate what caused the new doctrine. Since it isn't the Bible, we could show how that rationalism or humanism were involved. That's easy to do with the modern "science" of textual criticism.
Aaron professes that the scriptural doctrine of man's fallibility somehow guarantees that man will fail at preserving His Words. Based on that assertion, he should also conclude that we have no guarantee of perfection in the original manuscripts either, since man wrote those. Of course, he says that inspiration is different in that God guarantees perfection for inspiration, that God superintended inspiration in a way that would give us every Word and all of them. But not in preservation. Why not? The Bible says enough for us to conclude supernatural intervention in both inspiration and preservation.
TSKT didn't say that there wouldn't be errors made in copying. It did say that supernatural, divine intervention would result in the preservation and availability of every Word for every generation of believers. This is another straw-man in Aaron's arguments.
For several paragraphs, Aaron uses man's fallibility and the scripture that teaches it as a basis for saying that we don't have every Word. I agree with the doctrine Aaron fleshes out from the verses he uses (he especially illustrates it by misspelling my name throughout the presentation—"Brandenberg" instead of "Brandenburg"). I disagree with his application to preservation. God promised perfect preservation and accessibility. God's Word, God's promises, and God's power can always overcome man's fallibility.
What is ironic about this section is that this is the very basis for a presuppositional apologetic that buttresses the point of TSKT. We've got to trust that God would do what He said He would do. We assume He would. We look to see How He did. Because of our sin, we need supernatural interceding. God's Word tells us what to believe, not external evidence, which we should assume is spoiled and that man cannot interpret because of His sinfulness. This blows away the critical text and its rejection of theological presuppositions, saying that sinful man must allow external evidence to lead him to "the truth." Man doesn't discover revelation because of his sinfulness. Discovery and revelation are by nature mutually exclusive.
An unsustainable leap in Aaron's presentation occurs in this statement: "Our understanding of inspiration and preservation must account for what Scripture reveals about believers' propensity to err and sin." We all agree that man sins, but this does not change what God says He will do through the church, because God is sustaining that effort in a supernatural way. That's why we have promises of preservation and inspiration. What Aaron chooses to believe on this is something I've never read in anything—it is brand new doctrine—not found anywhere else in history, an occurrence that didn't seem to matter at all to the SharperIron audience, as long as what he wrote fit their previous thinking.
Aaron then takes this same point of fallibility and applies it to what all of Israel or an entire church does, regardless of what God said He would do. A good parallel here is that we are working out our salvation (Philippians 2:12) because God is working in us (Philippians 2:13). We're not saved or preserved or kept because of our power, but because of the power of God (1 Peter 1:5). No man can pluck us out of His hand (John 10:28-29). In the same way, God will reveal "all" of His truth to His own (John 16:13). The church is working out preservation, but God is guaranteeing it by His power. Because God commands a church to "hold fast," does that mean that a church could possibly not hold fast, even though they are regenerate? That's an assumption that Aaron seems to be making in his attempt to buttress this novel point that he makes. He says the church was capable of slipping and failing, when Scripture tells that Christ is able to keep us from falling. Are we to hold fast? Yes. But is He holding fast to us? Yes.
Aaron writes this, conceding a major point made in TSKT:
That they were given the responsibility of keeping and declaring the words of God (Brandenberg, [sic] 100) is not in dispute. But they were given many other responsibilities as well, and ultimately failed to execute any of them perfectly.
A major point of Aaron's whole first offering on preservation was that the "how" was sharply disputed. Here he says that the "how" is not in dispute. Despite the fact that Aaron did not admit that he had been persuaded on this point, I accept the admission that the "how" of preservation is no longer in dispute with him. He has accepted Scripture as to the "how" of preservation. God used His church. I congratulate Aaron for this concession. Perhaps others will follow in conceding that the church is the means of preservation, the "how" that is so often denied.
Aaron uses the oft cited example of the single copy left preserved and surviving in the temple in the Old Testament as a basis of a failure of preservation. I have never been able to wrap my brain around how that proves a point for the other side. It doesn't disagree with anything else in Scripture about preservation. The copy was still in Israel's temple both preserved by Israel and by God. If there was one copy remaining, that indicates preservation like only one possible heir in the line of Christ proves the continuation of the line of Christ. Someone may need to help me to understand how this doesn't only hurt those who are attempting to say that there was a failure in preservation, and that this proves that.
Concerning inspiration, Aaron says that God acted directly on the writers of Scripture as they spoke and wrote. I agree with that. Doesn't John 16:13 say that God would guide His own into all truth? The church has believed this, counted on this teaching, and used it as a basis for believing in a sixty-six book canon. God would make manifest to His own what His Words were. The very Holy Spirit who moved upon men in inspiration also could and did guide them in canonicity and preservation. We must believe in this principle as a basis for a certain, sixty-six book canon. That too is a miracle of God's providence.
We have a strong scriptural basis for believing in a word perfect Bible in the promise of not one jot or one tittle passing from God's law in Matthew 5:18. Jesus in Matthew 24:35 said that His Words would never pass away. The standard for Scripture is perfection (Psalm 12:6). John gave the standard of not one word being added to or taken away from the settled text (Revelation 22:18-19). You can't take away or add to a text that isn't settled. We should assume that God would testify to the very Words that He inspired so that those would always be available for His people (Isaiah 59:21; Matthew 4:4).
The reason why there are no preservation statements that parallel inspiration statements is because inspiration and preservation are two different activities of God. Men were not "moved" by the Holy Spirit in preservation of the already inspired text, but they would be guided by the Holy Spirit to it. God also promised that every Word would be available. We should assume that it would be.
Aaron ended by saying that future articles would explore whether God has "enabled fallible human beings to make error-free copies of His Word." Again, this is a straw-man. God promises every Word and all Words. There is no promise of a man making an error free copy. That should not hold anyone back from believing what the passages do teach, which still lead us to believe in a perfect, preserved text of scripture.
What we have here is a matter of faith. Abraham did not see and yet believed. He did not stagger in unbelief despite the lack of evidence. He believed God's Words. We should believe the promises of God for preservation like we believe the even fewer passages that teach inspiration. Here's the catch though. A Bart Ehrman knows what Scripture says about preservation. He believes it. When he begins seeing the textual variants, he staggers in unbelief and ejects from Christianity. He couldn't believe in a miracle of providence. Others know of textual variants and they just change what Scripture teaches and what the church had believed. Do you see what has happened? Men are reacting to sight and not living by faith. One rejects Scripture altogether and the other changes its meaning. Both are faithless moves. Let us gird up our loins as men and be strong.

Founded in 1787, the Künstlergesellschaft began to collect works of art in 1794. Every member donated either one of his or her own drawings or one by an artist towards what they termed a 'Malerbuch' – a painting book. In 1812 they took out a loan to acquire premises, which initially functioned as a club house and bar. Thanks to an international appeal for funds it became possible in 1818 to secure the Zurich's main artistic attraction, the 'Gessnerische Gemählde-Cabinet', for the city; this encompasses 24 gouache pictures of idyllic landscapes and a number of drawings by Salomon Gessner.
In 1847 the rotating exhibition organized by the Swiss Kunstverein from 1840 onwards provided the impetus to annex a tiny gallery , designed by Gustav Albert Wegmann, the architect responsible for the Villa Tobler and the Kantonsschule, to the original premises. For a long time the new 'museum' was dominated by the collection donated by Colonel Keller zum Mohrenkopf in 1854, a representative selection of Zurich painting from Hans Asper to the 18th century.
In order to attract a broader public the Künstlergesellschaft founded the 'Zürcher Kunstverein' in 1853, thereby generating a modest but regular inflow of funds which was used above all for local and Swiss art. In 1885 the painter A. Rudolf Holzhalb bequeathed CHF 100,000 to the Künstlergesellschaft which enabled it to settle outstanding debts, renovate the gallery (the hanging space increased from 90 to 144 m2) and establish a fund for the building of a new museum. A little later the federal government, in 1890, and the Gottfried Keller-Foundation, in 1892, began to display works acquired with significantly larger funds in the gallery.
In 1895 the association of the 'Künstlerhaus Zurich' was founded and opened a salon for temporary exhibitions in the Börsenstrasse. In the following year the 'Zürcher Kunstverein' and the 'Künstlerhaus Zürich' amalgamated to form the 'Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft' and intensified their efforts to build a real museum. In 1898 Heinrich Schulthess von Meiss bequeathed his collection of 80 paintings by famous contemporary German and Swiss painters to the Kunstgesellschaft. But it was not until 1910 that the 'Kunsthaus' was opened on a plot of land donated by city councillor Landolt – neither 'museum' nor 'art gallery', as the architect Karl Moser pointed out, but both. The name 'Kunsthaus' (house of art ) consciously reflects its democratic aspirations and wish to bring art to a broad public.
Due to the small size of the collection the first curator, Wilhelm Wartmann (director until 1949), initially concentrated on Swiss art and alongside the most interesting works of the time he put together groups of late Gothic painting and pictures by Johann Heinrich Fuseli.
When the Kunsthaus held a large Ferdinand Hodler exhibition in 1917, it became clear that the financial resources of the 'Kunstgesellschaft' were insufficient, and Alfred Rüetschi responded by founding the 'Vereinigung Zürcher Kunstfreunde' (Society of Zurich Friends of Art), which even today regularly helps to extend the Kunsthaus collection with significant acquisitions. Rüetschi himself made many large compositions and important landscapes by Hodler available to the Kunsthaus.
In 1920 the Kunsthaus received as a legacy the collection of Hans Schuler and with it for the first time works of French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism: Renoir, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Bonnard. After many years of preparation Wartmann organised his first exhibition with Edvard Munch in 1922 and began to build up the largest collection of works by the Norwegian artist outside of Scandanavia.
In 1925 Karl Moser extended the Kunsthaus. In 1929 Dr. Hans E. Mayenfisch began to buy works by living Swiss artists for the Kunsthaus; by the time of his death in 1957 the collection had increased to over 450 works. The Nobel prize winner Leopold Ruzicka set up a foundation in 1949 with his outstanding collection of Dutch 17th century painting. When in 1950 René Wehrli replaced Wilhelm Wartmann as director he moved the focus on to French painting since Monet; subsequent to the Monet retrospective the two large water lily panneaux were acquired.
In 1958 the large, adaptable exhibition gallery which had been planned since 1944 by the Pfister brothers and was financed by Emil G. Bührle was opened. A group of art lovers close to the Bechtler brothers created a foundation in 1965 with the most important collection of works by Alberto Giacometti, to which the artist donated additional pieces. In 1966 Nelly Bär endowed the Werner-Bär gallery, donating a group of sculptures from Rodin to Richier. Thanks to Gustav Zumsteg and the support of a number of patrons and the artist himself the Marc Chagall gallery was created in 1973.
In this period, Erna and Curt Burgauer began donating works from their collection of modern art to the Kunsthaus. In 1976 the extension was opened by Erwin Müller. Felix Baumann replaced René Wehrli as Director. In 1980, thanks to numerous donations, an extensive collection of works documenting the Dada movement was established. The Johanna and Walter L. Wolf collection added significant new works of French art from Impressionism to Classic Modern in 1984. Betty and David M. Koetser gave their important collection of Dutch paintings, Italian baroque and the Venetian Settecento to their foundation in 1986 and in 1995 Walter Haefner presented the Kunsthaus with twelve outstanding paintings by artists from Monet to Magritte.
From 1998 to 2000 the Villa Tobler was restored in a manner befitting its status as a new renaissance palazzo to become the new home of management and to serve as a venue for representational purposes. In September Christoph Becker succeeded Felix Baumann as the new director and the electorate of Zurich voted in favour of a loan of 28.5 million Swiss francs for renovation of the Kunsthaus. In 2001 the Kunstrat decided on a new artistic guiding strategy: internal working groups and a public commission of experts dealing with the future of the Kunsthaus underpin reforms of internal structures, during which time the renovation work begins.
On the 28 May 2002 the departing President of the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft, Thomas W. Bechtler, Director Christoph Becker and the Chairman of the City Council, Elmar Ledergerber, presented plans for a further extension of the building at Heimplatz. Since June of 2002, Walter B. Kienholz, the new president of the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft, one of the largest European art associations with its 19'000 members, supports the plans that also aim at creating more space for the growing collection. The extension building is scheduled to be realized by 2020.

9 more bodies found in Nuevo Laredo
LAREDO — Nine people were found dead in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, early Friday, raising the number of deaths from violent acts to 63 over the past eight days in the border city.
According to the Tamaulipas Attorney General's Office, the bodies — including that of a teen — were found near a bridge south of Nuevo Laredo.
One body was left hanging from the bridge at the traffic circle where the National Highway meets Colosio Boulevard.
Four more bodies were found in a traffic lane on the bridge, and four on both sides of the boulevard, AG's office said.
"All (had) bullet wounds from gunshots to the head," the office stated in a news release.
A Mexican federal source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said a message was left with the bodies. But authorities did not disclose what it said.
An official with the public ministry said the nine dead men were between 25 and 50 years old, except for one, who was 16.
As of late Friday, none had been identified.
According to an investigation, the nine victims were at Table Dance, a club, when a fire broke out.
Firefighters responded to the blaze, but gun-wielding men kept them from fighting it.
"A squad of gunmen did not allow them to extinguish the fire," the federal source said. "It wasn't until the gunmen left with the victims that the firefighters were able to work on (extinguishing the fire)."
Nuevo Laredo Fire Department officials did not respond to requests for comment.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Consulate in Nuevo Laredo warned Americans about an increase in violence related to what it called "transnational criminal organizations."
The consulate urged those with no business in the city not to travel there.
In the warning, the embassy said there has been an increase in arson involving houses, as well as more attacks and killings.
The embassy said Los Zetas were competing with other cartels for control of Nuevo Laredo.
Friday's deaths come on the heels of the arrest this week of Jorge Costilla Sanchez, 41, the man who is alleged to lead the Gulf Cartel.
Costilla was arrested Wednesday night in the Mexican coastal city of Tampico by a platoon of Mexican marines. But he eventually might face justice in Houston.
He's wanted in Texas for drug trafficking, money laundering and his role in a November 1999 standoff in which an FBI agent and Drug Enforcement Administration agent were surrounded in Mexico and threatened at gunpoint with execution.
The Gulf Cartel has deteriorated significantly in the past few years, and Costilla's capture is seen as an opening for its rivals to take control of the prized Matamoros-Brownsville corridor for sneaking narcotics into the United States.
Questions remain now about what will happen to the remaining Gulf Cartel operations and what that will mean for violence in cities along Texas-Mexico border.

Beck's and London's Royal College of Art Graduates
"From 1st August until Christmas, bottles of Beck's beer will be adorned with the work of four emerging artists – thanks to a new scheme called Beck's Canvas, a collaboration between the German brewery and London's Royal College of Art. The RCA asked their graduates and students to submit work on the theme of individuality specially for this project and a jury of RCA artists selected the winning artists: Rita Ikonen, Tom Price, Charlotte Bracegirdle and Simon Cunningham.
Beck's has supported contemporary British art over the years and has previously persuaded artists such as Gilbert & George, Damien Hirst, Rachel Whiteread and Tracey Emin to create label artwork for limited edition bottles. However, this year Beck's Canvas will be mass producing and distributing a whopping 27 million of the special bottles – making this one of the largest ever public art commissions. The combined area of 27 million Beck's beer bottle labels (143,100 square metres) is greater than the floorspace of The National Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art and The Louvre combined. That's about the size of 260 Cistine Chapel ceilings. Or, any sports fans reading, 35 football pitches."
This is very interesting considering the amount of everage bottles we have seen recently become a great medium of art which is catching a lot of attention, with the likes of Mountain Dew and Coca Cola.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York state workers can indulge their World Cup fever on Thursday with an extended lunch break to root for Team USA in its match against Germany, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced.
In a letter to Team USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann, Cuomo said New York state stands strongly behind the U.S. soccer team and was allowing workers to take an extra hour at lunch to watch the game.
"On behalf of all New Yorkers, I wish you and the entire team the best of luck," the letter said.

Smooth style.
The Nixon 51-30 Chrono Leather Watch has three serious-looking sub-dials, a date window, and a smooth leather band. Clearly it'll make it look like you know what you're doing. The six hands show hours, minutes, and seconds for fashionably-late arrivals. The Chrono has a durable stainless steel case with a hardened mineral crystal face, but be careful when you're headed to the pool—this timepiece isn't water-resistant.

I get a lot of complements about this watch. I like the weight and size. The wrist band is super comfy too!
Nixon 51-30 Chrono Leather Watch
Sick Ass Watch
I love this watch I always get compplements!
classy watch
This is a classy watch...durable, water resistent not waterproof. It is a large watch so if you have small arms its not for you.
This is a diving watch. It is waterproof to 300 meters below the surface of the water. :-)
Big A$$ watch
If you are looking for a Big A$$ watch then look no further. BUT this watch is a pain in the a$$ to set (in my own opinion) and the band is starting to split. So this is not an everyday wearer just a special occasion watch.
Pebble leather
The Nixon 51-30 Chrono is a very nice watch. Once you open that box you'll love it. I bought the pebble leather with a 50/50 chance that I might exchange it. I tried it on and man this watch seriously stands out. It's not your typical leather/rubber strap and that itself is an attention grabber. Not to mention the huge watch that is already screaming for attention. Surprisingly when I tried it on, I did not lock the strap on the tightest setting. I'm a very skinny guy and so far every watch I purchased went directly to the tightest setting. I was actually locking the strap a few holes from the last and I was shocked. Knowing this was a huge watch (biggest one I've ever purchased), I assumed I'll be wearing a watch that's way bigger than my wrist but apparently it was just perfect. So for all you skinny guys out there, no need to fear. Just pick your color and buy it. The one thing that bugged me was the semi-complicated methods for setting the time, date, and chronograph. Besides that this watch is a beauty.

The face claims 300 meters but the info says not water resistant???
Hey John, the 300m rating is actually for the casing itself, which is definitely good for a trip through a shipwreck or two. However, since the band is real full-grain leather, you're not gonna want to get that wet - hence, the rating in the specs.
So if it's a dive watch you're looking for, I'd try the 51-30 with either the PU, or the stainless steel band.

Hi, i need to clen the crystal, under the rotating bezel. it is blurry. Thank you.
Yikes, sounds like the casing might have been de-pressurized and precipitation got inside. You'd best send it back to Nixon, as the crystal would have to be removed.

Can I get the stainless steel band with the Nixon 51-30 leather "saddle" chrono?
'fraid not. If you had a 51-30 SS band lying around, you might be able to have a jeweler swap it out. Otherwise, Nixon likes to preserve the "exclusivity" of each colorway, and doesn't offer band-swapping. The Saddle colorway is only available with a leather band.

No, this is premium leather, but if you find it does wear out on you, send it back, Dogfunk will take care of you! Should be ok for years to come though.

is the reason why is not waterproof because of the leatherband, or can the actual watch if the band is not considered go under water?
The actual case without the band could go underwater up to 300m/985 feet.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Among Western powers, America may be Israel's greatest ally, but Canada has been making a play for the title of "staunchest friend."
Speaking at the opening of the 12th annual Herzliya Conference on Monday, Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird blasted efforts to delegitimize Israel and its claim to the land as nothing short of anti-Semitism.
"Harnessing disparate anti- Semitic, anti-American and anti-Western ideologies, [these antagonists] target the Jewish people by targeting the Jewish homeland, Israel, as the source of injustice and conflict in the world, and use, perversely, the language of human rights to do so," Baird said. "We must be relentless in exposing this new anti-Semitism for what it is."
Baird declared that Canada would not be among those nations that engage in anti-Israel rhetoric out of some misguided obligation to be "even-handed."
During a meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, Baird said that while Canada officially supports a two-state solution to the conflict, it views the Palestinian Authority's efforts to unilaterally wrest control of the land via the UN Security Council as "profoundly wrong."
Back in Jerusalem, Baird told Israeli President Shimon Peres that "Israel has no better friend than Canada," and stressed that "Canada does not stand behind Israel; Canada stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel."
Like in the neighboring United States, the topic of Israel has become a major point of policy debate in Canadian elections.
[Ed. Note - We want to emphasize that the focus of this story is on relations between Israel and the national governments of its allies. Israel Today is well aware that the Jewish state enjoys enormous support from the people of America.]

The tokens are pretty expensive, they break, they get lost, they go out of clock sync, they run out of battery and need to be replaced. The support costs are non-negligible. [the rest of this post is a general comment, not necessarily directed at Perry] That said, there are interesting stuff like the YubiKey (http://www.yubico.com/), which is a USB token pretending to be a keyboard. Press a button on it, and it "types" a one-time password. Downside: it uses symmetric crypto, which essentially means you have a shared secret between the token and the auth server. This makes the auth server a fat, juicy target, and if it ever is cracked, you need to replace all your tokens. There are also systems that send out one-time passwords via SMS to the user's cellphone. Rather neat, but you do need to pay for those SMS:es. Soft tokens, like file based client-side certs and private ssh keys, are not necessarily a *huge* improvement over simple passwords. You do become immune against the password-guessing attacks, but private keys can be stolen. We see this happening. And when a private ssh key is stolen, it is a major headache to find all authorized_keys files that contain the corresponding public key. Ssh keys *can* improve your security - encrypt the private key with a good strong passphrase, make sure it never leaves your laptop, and (carefully) use ssh-agent and agent forwarding for your authentication needs. (And add your keys with "ssh-add -c".) However, in practice, this tends to be too complicated for the average user. For a reality check, run grep -L CRYPT /home/*/.ssh/id_{r,d}sa to check how many users that have unencrypted private keys stored on your system. -- Leif Nixon - Systems expert ------------------------------------------------------------ National Supercomputer Centre - Linkoping University ------------------------------------------------------------
