By the AJC Editorial Board
Locking 'em up and ditching the key never was a cheap approach to punishing criminals. Nor was it particularly effective, or efficient, it seems.That must change, as a new report makes clear that our criminal corrections model is broken, unaffordable and unsustainable.
That's proved by the cost of maintaining this dysfunctional system. It has more than doubled since 1990, standing now at more than a $1 billion annual burden to this cash-tight state.
The good news is that remaking our corrections system should save money in the long run. As a bonus, it might help the crime rate fall even further.
Doing a better job of handling criminals is a necessity for reasons other than monetary ones. In the past two decades, Georgia's prison head count more than doubled, driving us into the unwanted distinction of having one of the highest incarceration rates in the nation. Meanwhile, our criminal recidivism — backsliding, if you will — has remained unchanged for a decade as prison stints did little to prevent inmates from showing up at the gates time and again.
Read what our editorial board has to say and comment below.

I feel a glimmer a hope reading this. My granddaughters murderer recieved probation yet my son was sentenced to a thirty year mandatory minimum sentence for a drug crime! How does this make sense? My son struglled with addiction since the age of fifteen. Instead of diversion programs he was locked up which left more unmarketable than ever. Of course they re-offend! WHat else can they do?

Up front, I'm a big time conservative. I've also been involved with GDC since Jimmy Carter was governor. I've work in a prison and in a community center. Here's my truth, the system is broke. We aren't fixing anything except building very expensive prisons. My daughter has been a involved in the drug court which actually work, at least better than prisons do. When I got my undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice, I had a professor who said we put two kinds of people in jail, those we are mad at and those we're afraid of. Let's find a better way to deal with those we are mad at. It's not politics, it's the best way to spend the limited resources that we have.

Personal attacks are neither helpful nor persuasive. Most of us gave those up after high school. The notion that the left has some monopoly on "thought" is particuarly laughable.
If the current system is broken, I have not heard a solution other than decriminalizing crime? Are alternatives to incarceration effective or is the prision system just a reflection of the more pervasive collapse of segments of our society?

Forgive me, I meant to say the reasons why hemp/marijuana became ILLEGAL.
For an outstanding history of this unbelievable conspiracy (yes, there is absolutely no other word for it), read Jack Herrer's "The Emperor Wears No Clothes". You will be shocked by the behavior of the scum that infested our government in the early years of the 20th century (or maybe not).

Why should no one be able to say make something illegal – legal??? Where do you get off??
Prior to the early part of the 20th century, every drug possible was LEGAL – yes, do some history research. The reasons why hemp/marijuana became legal have more to do with politics, big money, oil/paper/cotton/puritanism reasons than anything having to do with safety or similar. The same with opium, cocaine, heroin, etc.
Nobody said anything about making stealing for drug money legal, nor killing anyone while under the influence, or any other actual crime with a victim. Your logic seems to imply that so long as another crime that actually does involve a victim or property CAN occur as a result of a non-violent act than that act must remain illegal. Where do we draw the line? So everything that is illegal right now MUST remain illegal just because YOU say so?? What about gambling? Can the state never legalize gambling because people have been killed over gambling disputes in the past? And what about Sunday alcohol sales? Must they remain illegal too as some people have harmed others while under the influence (on a sunday no less)?
In the history of the US, drugs have been legal MORE than they have been illegal. Again, personal responsibility must be demanded, and penalties should be harsh for harming another or their property (WHETHER YOU ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OR NOT)!
How hard is that to understand? What is your problem with Freedom???

I actually got assigned to a jury on a cocaine possession case. Happily, the parties settled the day of trial, but it made me aware of the mandatory sentencing laws, which begin at something like FIVE YEARS. So, I never found out whether this was about a really bad guy for whom they couldn't catch him on something more serious, or about some poor schnook who got caught at a local roadblock. And I probably wasn't going to find out which was which as a juror. And the judge, who WOULD know which was which, would be unable to adjust sentencing accordingly. So a bad guy would get his just reward, if convicted. A schnook might get confronted with his mistaken ways and swear off drugs altogether (kind of a fantasy, huh?), but would have to wait quite a while to exercise his insight. I think we should admit that we don't know yet how to handle addiction. Or, for that matter, casual use. I think our confusion about this leads to massive injustice, of which we all are a part, and massive corruption, of which we all are a part as well.

I've read most of the posts, and no one should be able to say just make something illegal, legal! Drug use and abuse would certainly continue and contribute to highway deaths, crime to make money to "legally" buy the addictive substance, and many other responsibilities that DO HAVE VICTIMS!
Those truly non-violent offenders should be kept together and out of the population with violent offenders. And the corruption should be flushed out of the government involved here, in the administration and control of the prisons! Gangs should be destroyed in prison, by things like moving prisoners regularly, and using them in productive endeavors like farming, manufacturing, etc. They should be worked hard and made productive, so that at least they won't be a drag on our economy if the DO return.
Pay the guards enough that they aren't so readily enticed into corruption, and make the sentences legitimate. And use common sense so that if a gang has committed murder, for instance, any tattooed member of that gang should be incarcerated for an offense associated with their gang's illegal action!
And WE MUST stop accepting criminals from the ghetto of Mexico, which are already desperate and hardened when they come here, repeatedly if necessary. This is yet another example of the foolish failure of that politically correct notion of DIVERSITY has created a population with irreconcilable differences.
December 11th, 2011

I do not believe that anyone is saying that we should remove sanctions from negative behaviors that are initiated or accelerated under the influence of drugs or alcohol…ie drunk driving, domestic violence, unsafe or violent behavior in the workplace. In fact under a decriminalization/legalization regime those sanctions should be harder…almost vicious.
However, the notion that we are going to criminalize our way out of drug abuse and drug abuse related crimes is a pipe dream, and we should just say no.
December 11th, 2011
12:28 pm
Maybe I am missing something, Aquagirl, but I don't see anything about how to do things differently. A lot of other people on this post earlier posts just say "decriminalize all drugs and get the druggies out of the system". I would support that except for the fact that we haven't dealt with our legal drug – alcohol- very well. I deal in health and safety and companies would have to deal with marijuana as well as alcohol if it were legalized
December 11th, 2011
12:16 pm
So let's just keep doing what we are doing now
No, let's not. This may come as a shock, but there's an opinion right there above your comments that (gasp!) suggests doing things differently. Most of us read those words. But then most of us aren't simply drive-by trolls, looking for someone, anyone to listen to our diatribe on libs or leftists or whatever you call the imaginary bug up your bum.
Let me know if you need help with the big words.

Over three decades more than 1.7 million buyers have made the Volkswagen Golf GTI a best-seller. Now the sixth generation GTI returns with an improved design and performance. The pricing for the German market has just been announced and are taking orders; the new GTI can be yours for only 26,650 euro (or $33,700 at the current exchange rates). The new GTI is recommended for drivers that look for both dynamism and practicality.
With a 10 hp improvement, the new GTI now produces 210 HP and can hit a top speed of 148 MPH. The engine is mated to either a manual or a DSG gearbox, both with six forward gears. As an option, clients can choose the adaptive chassis control DCC.
The "wolf in sheep's clothing", as Volkswagen calls it, comes with some unique pieces that set it apart from the regular Golf. Such as the grill, additional air intakes, painted bumpers, fog lamps and a larger rear spoiler.

The Jets had ample opportunities to take the game, but were hampered by dropped passes on both sides of the ball. Curtis Conway (stats) had 3 drops on the day, one of them a sure touchdown on a drive that saw the Jets settle for a field goal. Safety Sam Garnes and linebacker Sam Cowart each dropped gift-wrapped interceptions, both of which looked returnable for touchdowns. Cowarts missed opportunity came deep in Patriots territory with seven minutes remaining and the Jets down by a lone touchdown.
The Jets left even more points on the field when a wide open Wayne Chrebet stepped on the sideline (and nullified the play) before hauling in a perfectly placed Testaverde TD lob, and when Herm Edwards gambled and had holder Dan Stryzynski attempt a pass to center Kevin Mawae on a fake field goal attempt. The pass fell incomplete.
The teams traded field goals in the first half, ending the first 30 minutes with a 9-9 tie. The Patriots took the lead early in the third quarter when, after a pass interference call on Jets' cornerback Ray Mickens gave the Patriots the ball at the Jets' one yard line, Pats' quarterback Tom Brady (15/25, 181 yds,. 0 TD, 0 Int.) ran it in himself on first down.
On the Jets next possession, Testaverde (25/43, 264 yds., 1 TD, 1 Int.) threw a crushing pick that was returned 55 yards for a touchdown by the Pats' Asante Samuels. While the Jets QB atoned for the play on the ensuing possession, moving the Jets 68 yards in 4 plays and capping the drive with a 29 yard touchdown pass to Chrebet, the Jets offense sputtered for the rest of the day.
The Jets were a horrid 1 for 13 on third down conversions, and have now scored only 3 offensive touchdowns in 3 games. On defense, the Jets once again showed an inability to stuff the run, giving up 147 yards on the ground. A notable on the day was defensive end Sean Ellis recording his fourth sack of the season, matching his total for last season after only 3 games. The Jets sacked Brady five times.
Vinny Testaverde moved into eighth place on the all time yardage list, passing Johnny Unitas.

A Bunny From Sonny 2
I used this rabbit to make a stew that started with guanciale and finished with nopalitos and grits. It was just OK the grits were the best part. The rabbit from Sonny D'angelo was sweet and fresh as was his guanciale. The fresh nopals were a dollar for several nice pads on 9th St.

IOW Christmas Toy Appeal
"Living on the Island and having young children myself, this Appeal is very close to my heart. It's heartbreaking that some babies and young people may not get any Christmas presents this year, so I hope that some of you can possibly buy an extra present this year and drop it at one of the locations around the Island."
Rob da Bank
In a fantastic new initiative, powered by Bestival and supported by IOW Radio & IOW County Press, we're inviting the Isle of Wight community over the next few weeks to seriously brighten up Christmas for hundreds of less fortunate children living locally on the Isle of Wight.
There are many children living on the Isle of Wight who, for a variety of reasons, might be considered less fortunate (such as young carers, the sick, and those living in poverty).
The IOW Christmas Toy Appeal believes that every child deserves to feel special at Christmas. We are working closely with the Isle of Wight Council and local charities to ensure that your donations will reach the children who need them most.
Islanders are being invited to drop-off a new unwrapped toy or gift to the IOW Christmas Toy Appeal (open from 19th November – 14th December) at one of the many official drop-off points dotted right across the Island. The IOW Christmas Toy Appeal volunteers will then wrap all gifts and distribute them amongst those less fortunate this Christmas.
Please note that any gifts must be new and unwrapped (and please don't forget to include batteries if your gift requires them!) and suitable for ages 0-16. As this will be the only gift received by many of these children, organisers do suggest that a price range of between £10-£20 would be appropriate wherever possible please although this is only a guide and any gift is appreciated.
For more info on the appeal, or to find out where your nearest drop-off point on the Isle Of Wight is (or how to pop your donated toy in the post to the appeal) visit the website here: www.christmastoyappeal.org

Bestival Halloween Epic: Rave vs Hoedown! Sat 27th Oct
Sunday Best are heading south of the river once again to host a Bestival Halloween Epic at their favourite warehouse venue, the Bussey Building, in Peckham on Saturday 27th October.
DJ sets from:
DJ Zinc / Rob da Bank B2B Tayo [Old Skool Jungle set] / Sombrero Sound System / Tythe
Live music from:
Shades of Rhythm [Live PA] / Cut A Shine [Hoedown Collective] / Moulettes
Tickets on sale now
Join the Facebook event page here
For his third ever Bussey party, Bestival's Rob da Bank is keeping things as eclectic as ever, whilst always guaranteeing a night of ecstatic dancing, in a smouldering line-up to warm up even the creepiest of nights… It's a Rave vs Hoedown spectacular.
LATEST UPDATE: The best dressed male and best dressed female on the night will both win a pair of tickets each to Bestival 2013! Get thinking of those Halloween costumes peeps : )
ROOM 1: RAVE! First to join da Bank for a stint on the decks are Sunday Best / Bestival resident DJs Sombrero Sound System, playing unabashed party heaters to get you hot under the collar.
Next up is hotly tipped newcomer Kidnap Kid whose heartwarming high-tech sounds are going to make your hairs stand on end.
Followed by one of the Godfathers of Bass music, DJ Zinc. A set from the man behind classics like 'Super Sharp Shooter', '138 Trek' of course 2010's massive collaboration with Ms Dynamite, 'Wile Out', is the perfect antidote for the oncoming winter sniffles, as he turns up the heat on the dancefloor and watches Peckham's undead lose the plot.
Then bonafide stalwarts of the 80s/90s Rave scene, Shades of Rhythm, pick up the mantle and perform a live PA. Let's hope they bring some of their finest underground & chart-topping moments of the past along for the ride, à la '_Frequency_', '_Sweet Sensation_' and '_Sound of Eden_'!
Finally, to round things off nicely, we have a last minute addition to the line-up, and it's an extraordinary belter from downtown! It's Rob da Bank playing back-to-back with long-term Bestival stalwart Tayo in a soaring Old Skool Jungle rinsathon. Hoorah!
ROOM 2: HOEDOWN! Upstairs it's a Halloween with a twist; a barnstorming marathon hosted by Bestival's favourite hoedown collective Cut A Shine (pictured above). Bringing their distinctive brand of infectious ditties and dancefloor mayhem to the underworld, with live acts playing everything from Bluegrass to Punkabilly and beyond, and maybe even throwing some of their own 'Hoe-step' and 'BarnCore' in the mix too, there's no way you won't find yourself caught up in the Cut a Shine melee at one point or another.
Aside from the Cut a Shine live band, there's also an appearance from DJ Penny Metal, whose eccentric record collection spans the globe, paying special attention to Balkan music and Gypsy freak-out tunes, and ensuring maximum chaotic fun on the dancefloor.
Next up, Moulettes are coming to town, bringing their virtuosic blend of Fantasy, Fairytale and Folk to the stage, with a stirring live show.
Then, in the wee small hours when things start getting really weird, a DJ set from new Sunday Best signing Tythe will brighten up the corners…
Tickets: £8 (early bird) / £10 / £12

"Hey beautiful people of Bestival and Camp Bestival thanks so much for coming to our shows this year…and thank the lord for non-stop sunshine at both…right, now it's payback time, vote for us and I'll give you a hug at the festival…go on!" Rob da Bank
So, if you and your family had amazing fun and frolics at Camp Bestival with Hot Chip, Saturday Night Fever shenanigans, Happy Monday, Mr Tumble, The Gruffalo and so much more, please vote for us in the Best Family Festival and Best Medium-Sized Festival categories.
And if you had a wild time partying into the night at Bestival with the likes of Florence + The Machine, New Order, Stevie Wonder, The xx, Friendly Fires, Orbital and loads more, then we'd be honoured if you'd vote for us in the Best Major Festival and Best Dance Event categories.

Oxfam's 'Grow' Food Power campaign at Bestival
At Bestival this year you may have gone into the Oxfam Festival shop to buy your festival best, or asked a friendly Oxfam steward which way the Psychedelic Worm tent was, but those Oxfam people in pink t shirts? What were they all about?
The Oxfam Campaigns team jumped at the chance to come back to Bestival to talk to Bestival goers about their Food Power as part of their GROW food campaign. Food Power is the power we all have to make decisions about food to help make it fairer for all the people involved. We're all part of the global system of food – so thinking about what we buy, where its grown, how much we pay for it and where it's bought from can change the way food is done, and make it fairer for everyone involved across the world.
At Bestival this year we wanted to celebrate what's already happening in the UK to make food fairer and ideas shone out as brightly as the sun did over the weekend – some of you wanted to share the importance of buying Fair Trade coffee, others gave us ace recipes for using up leftovers and reducing food waste, and some talked about supporting small scale farmers both here in the UK and across the world. The Wildlife fancy dress added a whole other dimension – from a group (herd/flock?) of zebras talking about the benefits of vegetarianism (not just to protect their own kind I'm sure), to a family of assorted wildlife asking why people hate wonky carrots.
So check out the photos on Facebook here and share those ideas you like best – so more people use their Food Power to make food a fairer thing globally.

Russian Hostage Rescue Shows the Danger of "non-lethal" Weapons
By Dr. Margaret McLean and S.L. Bachman
"Non-lethal" weapons appear to offer a battlefield ideal: defense without slaughter. Casualties could be held to a minimum. For chemical weapons, though, a thin line separates non-lethal from lethal use.
The Moscow hostage incident -- in which a supposedly non-lethal gas was used to put Chechen hostage-takers to sleep, and allow special military forces to free hundreds of hostages -- offers a case in point. More than 100 of the nearly 750 hostages died from gas exposure, and more than 100 were hospitalized.
The Moscow incident raised warning flags for Americans living in a post-9/11 world, where the United States may use new "non-lethal" weapons not only in peacekeeping but also in homeland defense.
A week after the Russian fiasco, the National Research Council, the principal operating agency of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering, released a report recommending the use of non-lethal weapons. The report calls for research on "thresholds for permanent damage or injury" for weapons ranging from loud noises to microwave systems to "calmatives" such as the gas used in Moscow.
The research council report says little, however, about the roles civilians may be called upon to play to ensure that non-lethal weapons live up to the ideal. Emergency doctors and others who are now training for chemical and biological attacks must also be prepared to counteract new bio- and chemical agents that U.S. forces might use to fight back.
As every doctor knows, and the Russians saw, a narrow threshold lies between disabling-but-safe and disabling-and-deadly exposure to toxins. The Russian government has admitted that its special forces used an opiate called fentanyl. Questions remain as to whether fentanyl was used alone, in combination with another chemical, or another chemical was the toxic agent. In any case, Russian authorities told some emergency personnel to have on hand an antidote, naloxene, to treat hostages who were exposed to the gas.
The Russian government failed, however, to promptly tell all emergency workers which gas was used in the raid, and provide enough doses of naloxene, or offer instructions in how much should be used.
Naloxene works only when administered quickly and in appropriate doses. In the gas-suffused theater, filled with overstressed, hungry hostages not in the best of health, dozens of people apparently overdosed on the gas. By the time the Russian authorities said fentanyl was the toxic agent, days had passed -- and the window of opportunity for saving many hostages had long since closed.
A similar fiasco could too easily happen during a hostage situation on American soil if "non-lethal" weapons are deployed, but emergency personnel aren't informed enough to ensure that the weapons don't kill. A weapon may not kill when used to defuse a disaster peaceably, but it could kill later if management of the aftermath is careless.

I want to change the law...but I need your help. If your dog is not on your property, anyone has a right to shoot it. When it's an innocent dog who means no harm, this is completely unnecessary.

The actual post I published at the local blog LA Observed. Go see it: The Wrap gets punk'd. But LA Observed doesn't have comments, so I am opening this space to field those.
….Based on what I know The Wrap thinks there's no story in Luntz's return to politics one month after quitting politics for Hollywood, and no reason to do a follow-up, even though it appears that The Wrap was used to get Luntz's Hollywood career off the ground.
I think this is bad practice. For if the exclusive story of Frank Luntz quitting politics for Hollywood was big news in The Wrap by what logic is it not news when this move turns out to be a fake? Or let's take the most charitable reading— implausible but not impossible. Luntz intended to quit, but he found it rough going in Hollywood, so he had to go back to politics, even though his changed heart wasn't in it any more. How is that not a story The Wrap should jump on? It's squarely within the site's beat. And it's connected to an earlier story The Wrap did. Journalism 101! But not for Waxman, who thinks she doesn't even have to address it.
And what's with broadcasting one way on Twitter— a sound practice? I say no.
Read the rest, and feel free to comment here.

So does that mean "Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE ..." actually translates to "Please come visit my beautiful web site?ReplyDelete
You are too smart! So can you change the name on the candy bars? Like Junior Mints could become Junior Wilsons? Hershey's could be Harvey's? Mars bar could be Mrs. bar? Gummi Bears could become Betsi Bears? Do you do weddings?ReplyDelete
Hilarious and cute! My candy-obssessed nevvy would freak if he got this!ReplyDelete
Where do you live that a Snickers bar is 1.89!? Holy moly. Also, this is amazing! P.S. I also see: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE ...in my Google Reader.ReplyDelete

It's turning up fine on my Google Reader.ReplyDelete
no error code in google Reader here.ReplyDelete
there is a mobile app called "Greader"that is actually -not- a Google app altho its downloadable thru Google Play Store. causes weird codes sometimes.

Love the idea of a GIANT Candy bag too - but need to check out the price of candy bars. Don't think they are 1.89 either. Of course, haven't bought any lately. Don't think they are that high. What did you put in the treat bag?? Lots of little bitty snickers??? That would be awesome!!!ReplyDelete
I have seen these $1.89 guys. They are for those impulse buys when you are trying to be good and shopping for something else.ReplyDelete
I was wrong -- there were not $1.89, they were $1.99. I just took a picture to show y'all: http://instagram.com/p/WSZQiDwN8j/ Yes, this is urban living at its finest!ReplyDelete
A couple of friends forwarded their email of my feed this morning and got the same error code. It's a mixed bag and I don't know the cause. If you experienced the same thing on the post today (Bramble Patch) please let me know. I'm hoping it was just a one-time glitch!

Hermeneutic Humility
I was honored to have read a tall stack of excellent books in 2012, but when I think back on the year I'm reminded of one specific excerpt that drop-kicked me to the floor when I read it for the first time and led me to repent over how I approach my Bible. It comes from Jonathan Pennington's new book Reading the Gospels Wisely: A Narrative and Theological Introduction, a book worth reading from cover to cover, but this is the excerpt I refer to (pages 139–141):
The Mother-in-Law—Jeremiah 29:11 Refrigerator Magnet—Diet Principle
Imagine yourself as a seminary student. Now imagine yourself as a young, male seminary student with a semi-educated, somewhat emotional, faithful churchgoing but biblically untrained mother-in-law. You like her well enough, but as your own seminary training has increased your exegetical skills, knowledge of church history, and theological acumen, you have found a corresponding increase in discomfort when talking to her about God and the Bible.
She is very passionate about the latest devotional book she is reading and the new insights she has gained into passages of Scripture from looking up Greek words in Vine's Expository Dictionary. Every time you see her, you sense with increasing intensity that she could be on the cover of the next edition of Carson's Exegetical Fallacies. On your better days you just nod and smile politely. In your grouchy moments you daydream about ripping the books out of her hands, mocking them, stomping on them a few times, and throwing them into the fireplace while quoting Greek paradigms.
But then when you arrive at her house one Thanksgiving, you see something that pushes you over the edge. On the refrigerator, holding up her unrealistic diet plan, is a magnet with a nice flowing script of Jeremiah 29:11—"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." It is obvious that this verse and this diet plan are organically related in her mind. She is taking this verse to heart every day as a promise from God for her success in shedding a few pounds.
How will you respond?
Your exegetically and theologically trained mind immediately populates a list of problems with her use of this verse: this is a horrible translation of the Bible; this verse is taken out of context; this is a word spoken to the nation of Israel in the Old Covenant and therefore can't apply to her; God doesn't care about her diet, and on and on. Thankfully, you have enough sense and wisdom not to attack or mock her and her refrigerator magnet, but in your quiet moments later you face a couple of crucial questions.
These questions are ours as well when we read Scripture and when we read and hear interpretations of Scripture. First, what is wrong with her interpretation/reading/application of this verse?
What is wrong with this use of Jeremiah 29:11? In the first instance, we are right to emphasize that what a text or verse means is best approached in its own literary and theological context. Her ignorance of the overall story of the Bible and the fact that this verse is from a letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent to the elders and priests of Jerusalem who were then in exile in Babylon is a regrettable oversight. This knowledge would deepen and contextualize the significance of these lines. We may also register some concern that not every word to the nation of Israel necessarily has a direct application to the individual Christian. Other examples come to mind including details of the Mosaic law concerning diet and clothing or promises of physical blessing for obedience to Torah.
However, we must also ask what might be good about her reading. And herein lies much that we might initially overlook. Even though her reading and application of this verse may not be very sophisticated or theologically astute, I would suggest that ultimately what it possesses is greater than this deficiency.
At one level her reading is in fact more theologically perceptive than, our systematized view might be. That is, in a very real sense a promise like Jeremiah 29:11 does apply to the individual who is in Christ (in whom "all the promises of God are Yes and Amen"; 2 Cor. 1:20). Jeremiah's words are God's words; they reveal God's heart and disposition toward his people, who are now defined no longer ethnically but based on faith response in Jesus—that is, all Christians. To read Jeremiah Christianly is to receive this as God's promised to us, albeit in light of the full picture of Scripture in which the church is now in a time of sojourning exile awaiting the return of the Son.
Moreover, what is good—even glorious—about her reading of Jeremiahs 29:11 as applied to her diet is that she has the right posture toward God and Holy Scripture as she reads. That is, she is going to the Bible looking for God to speak and guide and direct her life very personally. She expects the living God to speak to her, and she is willing to listen. She has chosen the better part. Certainly we might want her to grow in her theological knowledge and interpretive skills, but not at the expense of this simple God-ward faith and posture.
We as trained exegetes and theologians can and should also have this posture, but honest self-reflection reveals that for most of us, our learning often creates layers of distance between us and hearing the Bible as God's Word to us. Although it was obtained for the supposed goal of bridging the gap between us and the biblical text, our training in fact often creates in our hearts and minds an elaborate structure of paper walls and divisions that create a maze of distance between us and Scripture.

So TRUE! I am looking forward to reading your book Lit! as I am giving it to my Dad for Christmas.
I laughed because the scenario is so true, but was reminded of the need for humility—always. Earlier in the year I read "A little exercise for young theologians" by Helmut Thielicke (Eerdmans) which discusses the need for intellectual humility on the part of a student of theology…. I think it was Carson on a short DG video that said that seminary students (or anyone studying theology) need to still go to the Bible in a devotional way. I wish I can remember the name of it, it was actually some good wisdom.
Dear Tony, while appreciate the humility to which you call us when reading the Scriptures, I have to heartily disagree with your conclusion. The problem with our application of v. 11 to us individually as Christians is v. 10. God's plan for His people, more specifically the remnant taken into Exile, is first 70 year of punishment. Thinking along the lines of Biblical Theology, we, the church, are "aliens and strangers" here in a world hostile to us. We await our "hope" of returning home to our promised land, the new heavens and earth. Now we wait, in patience, even though we have to suffer trials of many kinds etc. God's plan for His people in general is suffering now, glory then. To apply v. 11 without understanding v. 10 can lead one to believe that all of our "diet plans" are "God's plans" for our good now. Something we must not conflate or confuse.
I found that bit right and true as well, Tony. Thanks.
I find it interesting that part of the seminary student's claim to superior theological knowledge is based on being taught a defective theology in seminary. It reflects a dispensational or similar view of Scripture. Pennington points out one of the errors that comes from that view – viewing Old Testament Israel and the New Testament church as having a radical separation and difference that is unsupported by Scripture. The dispensational view is that the promises to Israel don't apply to the church, but Pennington is right that 1 Cor. 1:20 says the opposite.
A related theological error made by the hypothetical seminarian and possibly shared by Pennington is that "promises of physical blessing for obedience to Torah" don't apply in the New Testament age. Actually the opposite is closer to the truth. OT Israel failed to experience God's physical blessings to a great extent because of their disobedience to the Torah. The OT predicts that that will be reversed in the Messianic age, when God writes the Torah on the hearts of His people, as in Jer. 31:31-34 (Heb. 8:7-12). As nations learn to obey God's word, peace and prosperity follow (Isa. 2:2-4, 65:17-25). Of course, there is persecution at times too, just as the OT prophets experienced persecution and death despite their faithfulness to God. Physical blessings and physical persecutions can co-exist to varying degrees: "a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life" (Mark 10:29-30).
Pennington agrees that "the church is now in a time of sojourning exile awaiting the return of the Son." Well, sort of. Sin and the curses that it brings won't be completely abolished until the Second Coming at the end of history (1 Cor. 15:23-28). But the OT saints who lived as sojourners on the earth, looking for the heavenly city (Heb. 11:13-16) were looking for that which has become a reality in a sense under the New Covenant: In contrast to the OT saints, the author of Hebrews tells Christians, "But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem." (Heb. 12:22). Christians are enthroned with Christ now: "God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus" (Eph. 2:6). Christ established His kingdom at His first coming: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me" (Matt. 28:18). The Son of Man has ascended to the Ancient of Days, received His kingdom that has dominion over all nations (Dan. 7:13-14), and "the holy people of the Most High" reign with Him now (Dan. 7:27). Now the gospel promise given to Abraham is gradually becoming manifest on earth, the promise that "he would be heir of the world" (Rom. 4:13).
Pennington also seems to promote the egregious dispensational error that there was a different means of salvation in the OT from the NT when he says that God's people "are now defined no longer ethnically but based on faith response in Jesus." Salvation has always been based on faith rather than ethnicity (see Rom. 4, Heb. 11). Jews who did not have faith in God and the words of His prophets were rejected by God, as Shemaiah of Nehelam found out (Jer. 29:32). The OT saints looked forward to the Messiah's act of redemption, whereas we look in the past.
The problem in the thinking of many mother-in-laws like the one described is that they hope for the blessings of God while ignoring God's law. But they have the seminary professors on their side on this. They haven't taken seriously Christ's words in the Sermon on the Mount: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. . . . Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 5:17,19). Should those that Jesus calls least in His kingdom be teaching in seminaries? But they are. Mourn for the current condition of God's church.
God cares about this mother-in-laws's health: "Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul" (3 John 2). Her main mistake is misplaced priorities, focusing on God's grace to lose weight rather than something like comfort and help to "orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world" (James 1:27).

Throughout the course of the 2013-14 season, HoopsHabit will be presenting an NBA rookie power ranking, letting you see who has the best shot at winning the Rookie of the Year Award at season's end.
The look on Nate Wolters' face pretty much sums up the rookie class this season. Just when we think we have everything figured out in the NBA we begin to learn, again, that we know absolutely nothing. In last week's edition of the NBA Rookie Rankings, Trey Burke jumped passed Victor Oladipo for the No. 2 spot, the same spot that Oladipo has held onto for quite some time. This week, well, things got interesting once again.
It's hard to pinpoint where exactly things took a turn for the strange, once again, but we'll try to figure it out. Or perhaps the universe is just once again balancing itself out, trying to keep order in the Rookie Rankings. That's really up for everyone else to decide. For now, we'll just focus on ranking the rookies.

There are several books and tips people having a specific sex of a baby, but it's always a 50/50 shot. A friend of mine had two boys and wanted a girl. She bought every book on the market and sought out advice on how to make a girl. They did every thing every book and person told them and 9 months later, they had another boy. I wouldn't waste my time or money on it.posted 05/23/2011 by Crystal328
We always talked about having a boy and really knew for sure our baby would be a boy, but it wa girl. Who we love a lot! With my second we tried a method which we discovered on www.howtoconceiveaboygirl.org and we got a boy!posted 06/05/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
No one can guarantee a certain gender but we are going with the wait until you ovulate method to try to conceive a boy. We have 1 boy and 2 girls and will be happy with boy or girl but our little guy is asking for a brother!posted 11/21/2011 by second time 'round
thanx i guess i just have to do it the natural way and kip hoping.posted 05/30/2011 by naomum
Dr Shettles has a helpful book. You'll want to have sex right when you ovulate; temping and opks can be helpful. Ovulation kit only tells you, you may ovulate in a few days and if you have sex too soon before the egg the male sperm may die before the female sperm. But start with Dr Shettles book and if you're interested in temping Taking Charge of Your Fertility can help and she alo has gender specific information in her book. Good Luck!posted 05/23/2011 by praktclmagik
PP is right, your husband's sperm will be the deciding factor of whether you have a boy or a girl and there is no way to manipulate that without scientific help. So no matter what, you will have an equal amount of luck having either gender of baby. Sorry.posted 05/23/2011 by peanutwitt

Cops storm Pulau Gaya, clash leaves one dead, four injured
By MUGUNTAN VANAR and RUBEN SARIO
KOTA KINABALU: Police mounted a massive mop-up operation for drug suspects on Pulau Gaya – a stilt-house settlement of fishermen and low-income earners off the city's coast – following a clash that left three marine policemen critically injured.
A suspected drug pusher in his 30s was shot dead while another man, also in his 30s, was wounded while fighting off the policemen in the shallow waters of the island in the early morning drama.
UNDER INVESTIGATION: Pulau Gaya residents waiting in front of the Sabah marine police office in Kota Kinabalu yesterday.
The police recovered two parangs and drug packaging paraphernalia.
"We are increasing our manpower for a larger scale operation to hunt down accomplices of the drug suspects," Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Mangsor Ismail told reporters later.
He declined to reveal the identities of the injured policemen.
The identities of the dead and injured suspects were not immediately available but police believe they were of Suluk origin, an indigenous Filipino group.
"As yet, we cannot tell if they are Malaysians or illegal immigrants or those holding IMM13 refugee documents," said Mangsor.
He said the three injured police officers – a chief inspector, a lance corporal and a constable – were in serious but stable condition at Queen Elizabeth Hospital here.
General Operations Force personnel lining up to board boats heading for Pulau Gaya, off Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Friday.
Giving details of the shooting on the island during a 10-minute boat ride there, Mangsor said a police team in civilian clothes landed at a jetty in Kampung Pondo at 10.35am.
The village is one of several settlements of wooden houses on stilts in the 1,465ha Pulau Gaya, with a population of at least 8,000.
The police team had gone there to look for "two or three" drug suspects in a follow-up operation to a July 25 drug bust in which four people were arrested while packing the synthetic drug syabu.
While the cops were walking along a narrow wooden platform in between houses, Mangsor said, two men armed with parangs charged at them.
"The two suspects slashed the chief inspector, who was in the front," he said, adding that this resulted in the other policemen falling into the sea.
Mangsor said the suspects jumped into the shallow waters and continued to swing their parangs at the cops.
During the struggle in the water between the cops and the suspects, two policemen fired several shots which hit the suspects.
Mangsor said one of the police officers radioed the command base for reinforcements and the injured were taken to the hospital.
At about 2.30pm, journalists who were stopped from taking a boat from the Kota Kinabalu jetty to Kampung Pondo, saw the body of the dead suspect wrapped in a black plastic bag being taken to the mortuary in a boat .
Described as a "black area", Kampung Pondo was initially a settlement for refugees from the southern Philippines in the 1970s but it slowly became a squatter colony where many criminals found a convenient hideout.
Over the years, police have conducted raids to flush out criminals involved in offences ranging from drug dealing to smuggling of cigarettes.
The state later relocated a good number of legally documented immigrants to the mainland.
So far this year, police have arrested 25 people in 30 drug-related cases, the latest being the arrest of four men for possessing syabu on July 25.

Who will fill the CEO pants at Lululemon?
The surprise departure of Christine Day has the industry buzzing.
The surprise departure of Lululemon's (LULU) CEO Christine Day on Monday has the industry buzzing. But who will take the reins of the Vancouver-based athletic apparel company?
Lululemon's first order of business is, of course, determining what kind of leader it needs. The company is looking to expand its global presence, specifically in Asia.
But the challenge for Lululemon is so much more than just filling the position with any high-level executive.
"Investors are going to expect the high level of growth to continue," says Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at NPD.
In Lululemon's case, this means that the new CEO must have a good understanding of a "lifestyle" company, but also know how to create product and have financial acuity, he says.
Lululemon is in a competitive arena "where price makes a difference," Cohen says. The new leader will have to reinforce that Lululemon apparel is worth the money it costs. "It's going to make their product really [have to] earn those prices, which means [the leader must be] creative in how to deliver the same for less or deliver even more so that you can stay at those higher prices."
"This is not going to be easy to find," Cohen says. The new CEO must be "someone that comes from wide-spectrum business" with great leadership skills, he adds, noting that the perfect candidate will not be cheap.
The resignation of Lululemon's CEO was announced at the same time as its first-quarter results on Monday. The numbers beat analysts' expectations, despite the Luon pants fiasco in March. Net income rose 1.5% to $47.3 million, or 32 cents a share, from a year earlier.
"The plans have been laid for the next five years and a vision for the next 10 years," Day, 51, said in a statement on Monday. "I feel that the timing is now right to bring in the next CEO candidate who will drive that 10-year vision."
Still, the news spooked investors. The retailer's shares fell 17.5% on Tuesday to $67.85. Sam Poser, equity analyst at Sterne Agee, downgraded Lululemon to 'neutral' from 'buy' and cut his 12-month price target to $75 from $90.
The stock fell an additional 6% on Wednesday to $63.78, though it is recovering somewhat Thursday.
While it would behoove Lululemon to consider internal and external candidates, observers say Lululemon's new chief executive is likely to come from left field. Day herself was a 20-year veteran at Starbucks (SBUX) before joining the company in January 2008.
"You could compare this a little bit to what [Estee Lauder (EL)] did," says retail consultant Michael Appel, referring to 2008, when the cosmetics company hired Procter & Gamble (PG) veteran Fabrizio Freda to succeed William Lauder, then CEO and grandson to the company's founder.
Estee Lauder hired "somebody that had consumer packaging experience as well as strong international experience because they were looking ahead to where they wanted to move the company," Appel says. "He's done a fantastic job there."
Freda was hired as President and COO of Estee Lauder, with the intention of becoming CEO within 24 months. On July 1, 2009, the day that Freda assumed the CEO position, Estee Lauder's stock closed at $16.15. On Wednesday it closed at $67.75.
Betty Chen, retail analyst at Wedbush Securities, expects the process to take somewhere between six and nine months to find a successor. But, she adds, it will be "critical to maintain the culture of the company," which is more entrepreneurial and collaborative and reflective of the yoga and fitness mindset of the product's consumers. Chen has a neutral rating on the stock.
While the exact reasons behind Day's departure are unknown - one theory is that the extensive travel needed to build Lululemon's international presence did not appeal to her -- Chen said it would be disappointing if Day left as a result of the Luon debacle.
"It's important to keep in mind during her five to six years that she's been able to lead [Lululemon] through tremendous growth, expand their product offerings and set the foundation to seed those international businesses," Chen said. Given the dramatic change to Lululemon's competitive landscape over the past five years, it's possible that the company will try to grab an executive from up-and-coming competitors, like Gap's (GPS) Athleta or sporting rivals like Under Armour (UA) that are increasingly focusing on yoga wear, suggests Motley Fool contributor Andrew Marder.
Another issue for Lululemon is that it still has to fill several other executive positions at the same time as finding a new CEO. These include head of product design, logistics and supply chain positions.
"We do believe that these searches will continue to be conducted and that Christine Day and the board can still fill them without waiting for the CEO [position] to be filled," Wedbush's Chen says. "Perhaps some of these appointments, along with the business recovering, will start to alleviate some of the investor concerns."
