DUBLIN Feb 7 Ireland wants to introduce cheaper, longer term instruments to replace promissory notes used to prop up failed lender Anglo Irish Bank, Prime Minister Enda Kenny said on Thursday.
"We're committed to replacing short term emergency central bank lending secured against the promissory notes used by the previous Irish government to bail out the worst Irish banks with longer term and more affordable financing," Kenny told a special session of parliament.

(Huffington Post) On Monday morning, Columbia University professor Emlyn Hughes was filmed by students in his "Frontiers of Science" class stripping to his briefs in front of the class, as Lil Wayne and video of images of 9/11, Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein and Joseph Stalin played in the background.
In a video posted on Vimeo by Columbia online magazine Bwog, it was the first class of the semester and Hughes started it "with insanity."

DOE Loan Programs:
Information on Implementation of GAO Recommendations and Program Costs
GAO-16-150T: Published: Mar 3, 2016. Publicly Released: Mar 3, 2016.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Version:
(202) 512-3841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
The Department of Energy (DOE) has made efforts to improve the implementation and oversight of its loan programs and, to date, has taken actions to address 15 of 24 of GAO's prior related recommendations. DOE's Loan Guarantee Program (LGP), authorized by Congress in 2005, was designed to encourage certain types of energy projects (e.g., nuclear, solar, and wind generation; solar manufacturing; and energy transmission) by agreeing to reimburse lenders for the guaranteed amount of loans if the borrowers default. DOE's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) loan program, authorized by Congress in 2007, was designed to encourage the automotive industry to invest in technologies to produce more fuel-efficient vehicles and their components. In 2007, 2008, and 2010—which covered the early stages of the LGP—GAO made 15 recommendations to address numerous concerns where DOE had moved forward with that program before key elements were in place. For example, in its February 2007 report, GAO found that DOE's actions had focused on expediting program implementation—such as soliciting preapplications for loan guarantees—rather than ensuring the department had in place the critical policies, procedures, and mechanisms needed to better ensure the program's success. DOE has implemented 11 of the 15 recommendations. In 2011, 2012, and 2014, as Congress expanded the loan programs, GAO made 9 additional recommendations to address concerns about DOE making loans and disbursing funds without having sufficient engineering expertise, sufficient and quantifiable performance measures for assessing program progress, or a fully developed loan monitoring function, among other things. Although DOE generally agreed with most of the 9 recommendations, to date it has implemented only 4 of them.
In an April 2015 report, GAO found that DOE estimated the credit subsidy costs of the loans and loan guarantees in its portfolio—that is, the total expected net cost to the government over the life of the loans—to be about $2.2 billion as of November 2014, including about $807 million for five loans on which borrowers had defaulted. The estimated $2.2 billion in credit subsidy costs was a decrease from DOE's initial estimates totaling about $4.5 billion. GAO found that changes in credit subsidy cost estimates varied by loan program and the type of technology supported by the loans and loan guarantees, among other factors. Specifically, defaults on loan guarantees for two solar manufacturing projects and one energy storage project were largely responsible for an increase in the credit subsidy cost estimate for the LGP's portfolio from $1.33 billion when the loan guarantees were issued to $1.81 billion as of November 2014. Borrowers also defaulted on two ATVM loans, but the credit subsidy cost estimate for the ATVM loan program's portfolio decreased from $3.16 billion to $404 million as of November 2014, mainly because of a significant improvement in the credit rating of one loan. In DOE's portfolio, 21 of the 30 projects had guaranteed revenue streams provided for under a long-term contract, such as a power purchase agreement, but none of the five defaulted loans supported projects with such a contract. GAO also found that administrative costs of the loan programs totaled about $312 million from fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 2014; these costs are not included in credit subsidy costs.
Why GAO Did This Study
DOE's Loan Programs Office administers the LGP for certain renewable or innovative energy projects and the ATVM loan program for projects to produce more fuel-efficient vehicles and components. Both programs can expose the government to substantial financial risks if borrowers default. DOE considers these risks in calculating credit subsidy costs. The law requires that the credit subsidy costs of DOE loans and loan guarantees be paid for by appropriations, borrowers, or some combination of both.
This testimony summarizes (1) DOE's progress in addressing GAO's prior recommendations related to the implementation and oversight of its loan programs and (2) GAO's 2015 report on the credit subsidy costs of the DOE loan programs.
This statement is based on a body of work that GAO completed between February 2007 and April 2015. GAO made numerous recommendations in these reports and obtained updates from agency officials. GAO is not making any new recommendations in this testimony.

This paper aims to separate different snow regions over the terrestrial ice sheets based on their measured microwave signatures. It takes advantage of coregistered data from passive and active sensors on the Environmental Satellite (Envisat) to directly derive a snow facies indicator in a point-by-point basis. This paper represents the first attempt of this kind in exploiting nadir-viewing and dual-frequency data from both altimeter and radiometer sensors. The approach is based on a clustering method. Such representation of the data by means of fewer clusters necessarily loses fine details but achieves simplification in geographical representation and eases the description of the condition of the ice sheets in 2004. Our approach broadens the description of the snow pack by taking into account characteristics such as surface roughness, grain size, stratification, and snowmelt effects, whereas the latter has often solely been considered in most previous work. Such partition of the ice sheets might help to better understand relationships between microwave signatures and snow morphology. It could also be useful for estimating elevation uncertainty in altimeter data, which, in turn, is essential to correctly interpret the significance of the rates of elevation change in a changing climate and to convert elevation change to snow mass change.

Skip to comments.Does The Book of Job Say that Satan Visits Heaven?
Posted on 11/09/2013 9:17:25 AM PST by ComtedeMaistre
One of the strangest parts of the Bible is Job 1:6
[When the day came for the heavenly beings to appear before the Lord, Satan was there among them. The Lord asked him, What have you been doing?]
This part suggests that Satan visits heaven. Satan, of course, began as a full time resident of heaven, before he was expelled from heaven. It seems that he retains visiting rights.
It is this passage that led Mormons to teach that Jesus and Satan started out as brothers. We do know that Lucifer/Satan was the most senior of the Angels, with more seniority than Arch-Angels Gabriel and Michael. He was effectively Number 3 in heaven after God and Jesus.
Can any freeper Bible experts explain what Satan was doing in heaven, when unrepentant human sinners whose sins are much less than Satan's, are going straight to hell without a chance of seeing heaven?
Satan started out as an angel right?
He is the accuser and he (thinks he) was taunting God
Nevermind, I see you noted that.
You have to read the whole bible to find out.
Satan, was one of God's Angels. PRIDE made him think he could become as great as (or greater) than God.
He was cast out of heaven, but until the that time, he and the angels that followed him, were allowed in heaven. They are not there now.
They are chained (restrained) now, except for Satan who goes back and forth in the earth, looking for who he can destroy.
God knows things before they happen not because he CAUSES them to happen, but because he can see them just as you can see things as you look left and right. God can see the past and future as easily was we can look around the room.
Tehre is a lot about Angels and Man, and free will and who is to blame that I am leaving out here.
I hope you find your answers. They are there.
The whole story of angels going into rebellion does suggest that angels are not automatons, they have opinions, minds, wills of their own.
My understanding is Heaven is the perfect realm of God or where everything happens according to his will. Hell is the realm completely void of God and his will. Everywhere else like Earth or even other spiritual realms are middle ground.
God is present in middle ground, but it of course is far from perfect and it is filled with many evil characters. Thus the story takes place somewhere there (not heaven)—that is, if you were to read the story literally.
They may have been Chained there at one time. Not now.
Satan's demons also roam the earth too.
Actually, the story of the angels going into rebellion comes from the book of Enoch, not from the Bible.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, / And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. / And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. / And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.That event has to have been after the events in Job. The brethren there most definitely includes Christians as well as the prior prophets and patriarchs of the Old Testament. Also note that the evil spirits were cast down into the earth . . . as for hell, remember that there are four different words in the Bible that were translated as hell but have different meanings.
How do you know for certain that Satan was not already tagged as a rebellious angel before being cast out?
But was allowed to remain until God did what he did to him in his own time frame.
Satan could have been allowed to do both for a time: go to and fro upon the earth AND appear in a heavenly council. God would have had to allow that. And if God did, then he had a reason for it that WE would not be able to explain. Only God would know. His knowledge is infinite and we are not in possession of but a tiny part of it. Much is not told to us.
Judas Iscariot was already predicted to betray Jesus but was nevertheless allowed to remain as an apostle. Judas then went out and hanged himself.
God has a sense of timing. He sometimes strikes people dead on the spot and sometimes allows their evil to come to fruition over time.
God knew Jesus was coming to earth and would preach, minister and die to be raised to life.
He knew it from before the beginning of time, but in earthly years look how long he took to work it out.
Never try to force God into a box that we have created that we think fits God.
The order in which events appear to happen in scripture does not always have to reflect their timing in God's terms. To God, a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day.
Or, it could have been timed as it appears to us, that first Satan was cast out, then returned during Job's story. But again, if God allowed him to appear after casting him out, it was a one time event to make a point, and it was at God's allowance, not a privilege that Satan still possessed.
Ergo, Satan may have limited access to some part of Heaven if and when called by God to appear before Him.
Secondly, an emissary (a lawyer, if you will) between God and Satan may have been appointed and the account in Job might have been that person and not Satan himself.
You said: "It seems that he retains visiting rights"
Meant in levity I'm sure, but Satan has no visiting "RIGHTS". If this does take place in heaven, it's only because God ALLOWED it, not because Satan has any "right" to be there.
Force is always at the heart of any liberal-utopian initiative.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
No, it is a story on one man offering up his suffering to God.
BTW, God threw Satan and his angels out of heaven. I don't think he will invite them (or even allow them) to re-enter.
They occupy hell and God is happy with that.
The devil really is out to create dystopia.
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.and then confirmed in the Book of Enoch.
I applaud you on your mention of the Book of Enoch. Heavy duty stuff, old Enoch.
I like that.
For later read.
Satan was a fallen angel, he was booted from heaven
This puts the lie to the idea "Once saved, always saved"
If Obama can be elected POTUS, then I guess anything is possible.
"They may have been Chained there at one time.... Not now.....Satan's demons also roam the earth too."
Have to agree with you.....How else could a man have been possessed by "Legions" of demons when Christ sent them into the swine...Even the Apostles cast out devils in the book of Acts......Demon possession is very real, have a family member into witchcraft and you can see the spirit in his eyes......Very evil and had to cut contact almost 2 years now....Hates anything or anyone Christian.....
Obviously, they have it (i.e. the capacity to disobey God)...otherwise, they would be nothing more than a bunch of robots.
Well, you're right.
I was thinking of the stories about the wars that took place between the angels in heaven.
I think a lot of modern beliefs and images about Satan arises from writings from Milton also.
Yes, but Jesus is never described as a created being/angel; which is why Mormons are dead wrong on that.
Satan was and is an angelic being who went into rebellion and was cast down to earth. Our concept of "Heaven" has been heavily Hellenized to the point that people believe it to be angels floating on clouds playing harps or something. Not so.
Jesus Christ went into Hell for three days, Sheol actually, and led the righteous dead out of captivity but also had dealingS with the angels bound there in the furthest depths, from whence our notions of Hell arose. And, Satan partook in an angelic council before the Lord.
Much of popular perception is not altogether Biblical. The division between realms never was shown as being altogether absolute.
I doubt demons are restrained as we see their effects today.(They hold public office in our government!) Further, did not Christ cast out demons which would hardly be possible if chained in hell. Just a thought.
You are not looking at the whole thing......it is an interview -- God is talking with Satan -- not in heaven.....remember that God can be anywhere. Please don't limit him.
The Interview Between the Lord and the Satan.
6b One day, when the sons of God* came to present themselves before the LORD, the satan also came among them.c
7The LORD said to the satan, "Where have you been?" Then the satan answered the LORD and said,d "Roaming the earth and patrolling it."
8The LORD said to the satan, "Have you noticed my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him, blameless and upright, fearing God and avoiding evil."
9The satan answered the LORD and said, "Is it for nothing that Job is God-fearing?
10Have you not surrounded him and his family and all that he has with your protection? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock are spread over the land.
11e But now put forth your hand and touch all that he has, and surely he will curse you to your face."
12The LORD said to the satan, "Very well, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on him." So the satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Here is the footnote for verse 6
* [1:6] Sons of God: members of the divine council; see Gn 6:1–4; Dt 32:8; Ps 82:1. The satan: lit., "adversary" (as in 1 Kgs 11:14). Here a member of the heavenly court, "the accuser" (Zec 3:1). In later biblical traditions this character will be developed as the devil (Gk. diabolos, "adversary").
When was he saved?
The Hereafter may arrived before I finished my study of said Hereafter.;-)
This needs to be on the Religion Forum. It got posted on the new forum.
There is a mention in Revelation also.
"It is this passage that led Mormons to teach that Jesus and Satan started out as brothers.
Sorry, but the book of mormon was started by a guy looking to get sexual favors and power. Attempting to rationalize his writings against Christianity is insulting, offensive to Christianity, and illogical.
A lot of the Old Testament doesn't make sense when you take it literally, because so much of it is missing. Over the centuries many important parts were edited out and lost forever by elitist church elders who took it upon themselves to decide that mankind should not know certain things that were revealed in the original Bible. The modern-day bible is just a puzzle with a lot of missing pieces.
That's one way to look at it, ultimate betrayal is another.
God says he will never desert us, but the story tells another tale.
So, is the story a parable, or a historical event?
Of interest is the fact that no one is certain who wrote the book of Job.
"Sorry, but the book of mormon was started by a guy looking to get sexual favors and power. Attempting to rationalize his writings against Christianity is insulting, offensive to Christianity, and illogical."
Same with the Church of England and old Henry VIII wanting sexual favors and power, right?
"Same with the Church of England "
Without question. What's your point since that organization wasn't being used to make the point?
One of the mysteries of existence is the nature of time. Time is one of the many boxes in which human kind attempts to put God. We are so material and so linear the difficulty to imagine One unconstrained by Time/space is overwhelming. Only those who have thought long and deeply about such things like learned philosophers and theoretical physicists have even scratched the surface of understanding. It may be that time is simply a construct of humanity to organize an orderly progression of events so that our limitations can ascribe meaning to existence. Perhaps for God all things exist/occur simultaneously. His statement " a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day" may give insight into this. Also the many biblical statements attributing future completed events as if they were currently happening or had already happened. "For unto us a Son IS born..." "Beloved NOW are we the Sons of God but it does not yet appear what we SHALL be..." There is an order of magnitude in difference between God and humankind that is greater than that between an ameoba and a human. While we can glimpse tiny flashes of understanding and can grow in our awarenesses to believe we have the capacity to understand His nature makes for a limited God indeed.
Satan has not yet been cast out of Heaven. This will be done by Michael the archangel at the same time the antichrist is revealed when he defiles the yet-to-be-built third temple.
Satan currently has access to Heaven in order to accuse God's saints (i.e. believers) before the throne of God. See Revelation 12.
Christ is continuously interceding on behlalf of His saints (i.e. believers). See Romans 8:34.
"It is this passage that led Mormons to teach that Jesus and Satan started out as brothers. We do know that Lucifer/Satan was the most senior of the Angels, with more seniority than Arch-Angels Gabriel and Michael. He was effectively Number 3 in heaven after God and Jesus."
Wrong. The Devil and Jesus are not on the same level. The Devil is a created finite being. Jesus is the Son of God, diety, Creator of all things (including the Devil).
The Creator is too big to be contained by the entire universe. He is aware of the smallest detail, such as the number of hairs on our head, and whenever a single bird falls to the ground. He knows when, where and what type of bird it was. But He also is fully aware and in control of the largest things in the universe. He has names for every star and planet and other heavenly body.
Satan thought he could run the universe and be God, and do a better or equal job as God. To this, God just laughs. Satan cannot even count the number of stars in heaven. If he could, God said He would break His promise to preserve and protect Israel. If Satan could even just count them, God could verify the number because He knows the number and the unique name and purpose He has given to each one.
Satan cannot even run one tiny little speck in the universe called Earth. He is currently "the god of this world", and is doing a very poor job of it. There are rules that must be followed. And, yes, Satan does report to God about what he is doing on Earth.
Matthew 10:29-30
"Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Fathers will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."
Psalm 147:4
"He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name."
Genesis 22:17
"blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies."
Jeremiah 31:35-37
"Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day, The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The Lord of hosts is His name): 'If those ordinances depart From before Me, says the Lord, Then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever.' Thus says the Lord: 'If heaven above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel For all that they have done, says the Lord.' "
Hebrews 11:12
"Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitudeinnumerable as the sand which is by the seashore."
2 Corinthians 4:4
"whose minds the god of this world has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them."
John 16:33
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
I am not sure but I vaguely recall a minister stating after Satan brief visit to Heaven regarding Job, Noah's Flood occur. Flushing out the stench that Satan permeated in the Heavens.
I did not say ALL demons are restrained. They are legion.
Specifically, in the bible, the 1/3 of angels that followed Satan are currently restrained and will be let loose during the end times (as will Satan himself after the 1000 year reign of Christ — which of course is AFTER the Tribulation).
Lesser demons are still running rampant, as is Satan himself who is the "God of this world".
Archeologists have actually found the location of "UZ" which means "nowhere"...in a pretty remote place in eastern Syria,northern Jordan and extreme western Iraq(quite possible due to the Babylonians taking the Jews captive). (Some argue was southern Israel where the Edomites lived because of verses describing that section as the land of UZ)So another words Job lived in "Nowhere'sville" if you will.( kind of funny is you take it that way) So if the location is real, it is quite plausible that Job may have existed and the book of Job an actual accounting and not a parable.
Maybe his chance to see heaven and face God from time to time is part of his punishment? Show him what he lost?
ROFL That's true
I've heard it said that the fallen angels themselves were bound, but the spirits of their offspring with women roam the earth, as demons. The Ethiopic Enoch backs this up. I don't necessarily accept or reject this explanation. It's not counter to the Bible but it's extraBiblical.

"There is much good news within these pages. Skeptics of science can be reassured that life makes sense and that the methods of science can be trusted. Those fearful that science requires a descent into atheism will be reassured by the vibrant Christian spirituality evidenced in Falk's narrative." (From the foreword by Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., Physician, Geneticist and Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH))
"Books on creation typically suggest that either God or the scientific community actively delude humankind. Falk's book offers a breath of fresh air to those who believe that the God of the Bible is the source of all truth. Passionate in his faith, certain that the Scriptures and science can stand careful scrutiny, Falk carefully integrates the evidence to build a picture of the loving creator-God. Needed for so long, this powerful book can intellectually and spiritually nourish the Christian community." (Philip Batterham, Associate Professor, Department of Genetics, University of Melbourne)
"Darrel Falk is a skilled educator and pastoral writer. Theologically sound, scientifically accurate, understandable at the high school and early college science level, this is a superb book for evangelicals and other Christians who want to learn about the history of life that God is revealing to us in the book of his creation." (Loren Haarsma, Assistant Professor of Physics, Calvin College)
"Coming to Peace with Science is a well-informed and very personal look at evolution by a biologist and committed evangelical Christian. It is written in an understandable and sensitive way that honors both the scientific vocation and the authority of scripture. The book is a refreshing contrast to much popular Christian writing on evolution. In it, Darrel Falk embraces and rejoices in both the biblical message and the history and processes of creation as revealed by scientific investigation. He also makes a strong and personal appeal for peace--not only between science and faith but also among committed believers who have come to different conclusions with regard to the creation's formational history." (Keith B. Miller, research assistant professor of geology at Kansas State University, fellow of the American Scientific Affiliation, and editor of Perspectives on an Evolving Creation)
"Professor Falk's Coming to Peace with Science is the most informed, thoughtful and spiritually sensitive look at 'creation through the eyes of a biologist' that I have ever read. Falk knows firsthand just how hard it can be for an evangelical raised on the Bible to make peace with the theory of evolution. As a respected biologist who takes the Bible very seriously he knows, however, that this peace must be found. Coming to Peace with Science will be an effective bridge between science and religion for years to come." (Karl Giberson, Ph.D., Professor of Physics, Eastern Nazarene College, Editor in Chief, Science & Spirit, Editor, Research News & Opportunities in Science & Theology)

Our author writes from an Evangelical Christian viewpoint. He is clear about his faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and how the first chapters of Genesis are a great hymn celebrating-though not literally- God's creation of the world. He arrives at this conclusion about the creation account from the evidence science has amassed about the age and development of the universe. One of the strengths of this book is Falk's discussion of fossil evidence, geological evidence and genetic theory. These discussions are supplemented by graphs and pictures that are helpful. Since I am trained in theology and not science, I found these parts of the book enlightening without being condescending.
Falk, who has taught biology for over 20 years, supports the idea that species developed gradually, including humans. And he sees no conflict between faith and the naturalist's view of our world. Overall, he appears to attempt to write within the worldview that science should not be depended on to point a person of faith to God and science must realize that it is not equipped to discover the supernatural.Read more ›
Falk comes with a strong support for evolution, in all it's glory. But he treats it as far more glorious than most biologists, for he sees God's presence within it. There is no holding back here- Falk makes clear, cogent arguments in favor of every step and aspect of evolution. His treatment is something that anyone can understand, and anyone with an open mind can come to agree with. He comes from a background originally in literal creationism, and so knows the arguments that speak to the literal creationist. As someone who was also once a literal creationist, I can say Falk knows the arguments that refute the classic creationist arguments as well.
But he doesn't stop there. He then turns to the scriptures. Falk fully supports complete acceptance of the scriptures, but he's not interested in blind literal acceptance. He wants us to delve into the Bible and accept the points that God is trying to make. Throughout Falk's personal relationship with Jesus is clear. He sees this as the point behind everything. And he finds that he sees more of Christ by studying biology and evolution. It would be easy to try to proof-text passages to make the Bible appear to be supportive of evolution. That's not Falk's style. He's looking to see what God wants us to know, primarily through the scriptures.Read more ›
I'm very grateful that Falk persisted in tackling such a difficult and provocative topic (science and religion) as he did with "Coming to Peace..." I've read it many times and each time am struck by the sensitivity, sincerity, and Christian love with which he approaches this topic. This book should be very understandable to a wide audience (college degrees not required)!
I'm 36 years old with a masters in biology from a private Christian college. I've grown up in a Christian denomination whose official position on creation is a belief in a literal 6-day, young-earth interpretation of Genesis.
I greatly appreciate my church's interpretation of most biblical issues. Their stand on creation, however, gives me trouble. This past winter I visited with one of my past college biology professors and one of my graduate student colleagues who is now a bioloy teacher himself. We had quite a long talk about their spiritual journeys as biologists, and they both turned me on to Falk's book (Coming to Peace with Science).
As a biologist by training (if not direct avocation at this point in my life), I've been exposed to evolution, and I recognize that it's difficult to ignore the evidence from the fossil record, age of the earth, etc. But meshing that with my faith was difficult at best. For a long time I just kept them compartmentalized, and focused on Christ as my salvation instead of Christ as the Creator. Falk's book and my wonderful talks with my old college friends have opened a brand new door of understanding to me.Read more ›

Concert promoter Alex Cooley tells a great story of how he was walking around the nosebleed section of the FOX THEATRE one afternoon. He was startled by voices and it took him a moment to realize he was overhearing a conversation two workers were having way down on the stage. The acoustics are that good. It's hard to believe that a wrecking ball was once parked beside the Fox, and that one of the world's grandest movie palaces was saved only at the last minute. The Fox is majestic and gaudy and opulent to a fault in places, a testament to Atlanta's past even as it still helps define our present.

Radio One ranks #1 among African-American audiences. The largest radio broadcaster serving black listeners, the company owns about 55 stations in 15 mostly urban markets. Its radio stations, which mostly operate in market clusters, offer a variety of music formats, as well as news and talk shows. In addition to broadcasting, Radio One has a 80% stake in Reach Media. Radio One operates several websites and the company also owns more than 50% of TV One, a cable television venture with Comcast. Founder and chairperson Catherine Hughes and her son, president and CEO Alfred Liggins, together control more than 90% of the company.
Geographic Reach
Radio One's portfolio includes stations in Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, Richmond, St. Louis, and Washington D.C.
Almost 50% of the company's revenue came from the radio side of the business during fiscal 2014. The radio segment gets most of its revenue from the sale of advertising. Roughly two-thirds of the advertising sales was to local advertisers in fiscal 2014 while the other third came from national advertisers.
Sales and Marketing
Local advertising sales are made by the sales staff located in the company's various markets. National sales are made primarily by Katz Media Group, a firm specializing in radio advertising sales on the national level.
Radio One's advertising and promotional expenses were approximately $16.9 million in fiscal 2014.
Financial Performance
After experiencing stable revenue growth from last few years, in fiscal 2014 the company's revenue decreased by 2% to $441.4 million compared to $448.7 million in fiscal 2013. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a decline in revenue from radio broadcasting, Reach Media, and the company's Internet properties.
Even with strong revenue, Radio One has suffered net losses the past two fiscal years. It posted a net loss of $42.7 million in fiscal 2014 compared to loss of $43.5 million in fiscal 2013.
Cash flow from operations increased by $16.9 million during fiscal 2014 compared to the prior fiscal period and the company ended the year with $53.9 million in cash on hand.
Radio One continues to invest in complementary businesses in the media and entertainment industry, with a focus on businesses that provide entertainment and information content to African-American and urban consumers.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Radio One acquired certain assets of GG Digital for about $2 million during fiscal 2014. The company bought GG Digital's website and brand Global Grind. The Global Grind website and brand was subsequently integrated into Interactive One. Also during fiscal 2014 Radio One spent about $7.7 million to acquire Gaffney Broadcasting, which consisted of an AM and FM station in the Charlotte market.

S&P 500 geodesic pairs model - Sep 25, 2009 0 commentsprevious model indication:
* cautiously bullish on the S&P 500 since 2009-08-21
current model indication:
* the S&P 500 is overbought since 2009-09-09
(click here for my introduction to basic geodesic concepts)
what a difference a week has made. the coordinates of the model parameters have begun to show evidence the advance in the S&P 500 is slowing down, again. looks as though on 9-18-09 the motion in the S&P peaked in momentum and has been slowing down almost in mirror fashion of the previous weeks acceleration.
the big arrow shows direction of motion of neutral weighted pairs of SH & SPY. though the geodesic is a 2-D curved line, motion pointed in this direction along the curve always indicates the index is advancing upward. the path resembles the trajectory of a comet in collision with the gravitational field of a planet. the departure of my model from that analogy is the cycle is actually harmonic like the motion of a pendulum. i've used red points to denote when the index vector-c surpassed it's magnitude at the bottom in early march. so the indication on the status of the index is read to be overbought, moving slightly in the upward direction with decreasing momentum.
now, for an index that went from roughly neutral in mid-july to red-hot in roughly 1/2 the time it too to get from the bottom back to neutral is astounding. the index has been extremely overbought for the last +2 weeks and the momentum upward is slowing, quickly. this would definitely raise some eyebrows as to how much longer the index will keep going up. these stages of small pullbacks in the index since the bottom in march have proven to be buy signals in equities. will the same thing happen this week? it's certainly possible.
from a technical perspective, there's not really much else i can say as to what might happen next. prudence would certainly say prepare more for the downside and let the upside take care of itself whether the index continues to advance from here or not. like a sea-saw out of balance because the fulcrum moved closer to one end, more weight biased to SH is needed to rebalance the sea-saw level. by how much? my model says 66% of SH to 34% SPY as of EOD 9-25-09.
dislosures: in my SH-SPY pairs trade, i am 66% SH & 34% SPY. the pairs trade is counter-weighted by bond ETFs listed in my tags. still operating with 20% cash. use of the information contained in my blog is at your own risk. the data if for personal information purposes only and is not to be considered as financial advice.

For the intrinsic characteristics cause several vulnerabilities of MANET, anonymous routing protocol attracts much more attention in secure mobile ad hoc networks for the purposes of security and privacy concerns. Until recently, lots of anonymous routing protocols have been proposed. However, most of them are single path or use one path at a time or can not thwart both the passive attacks and active attacks simultaneously. Thus, we propose an anonymous multipath routing protocol based on secret sharing. The protocol provides identity anonymity, location anonymity, data and traffic anonymity based on cryptograph technology and secret sharing in MANET communication. Meanwhile, we also introduce hash function to detect active attacks in our data transmission process. The protocol can effectively thwart the various passive attacks and reduce the successful probability of active attacks such as intercept and physical destroy attacks. In addition, Simulation results show that our scheme provides a reasonably good level of security and performance.

|Group is active.
|First Attack
|July 18, 2012: Before merging with other groups to form Jaish al-Islam, Liwa al-Islam claimed a Damascus bombing that killed Deputy Defense Minister Asef Shawkat and Assistant Vice President Hassan Turkmani. [1]
|November 5, 2014
Jaish al-Islam is one of the many Islamist rebel organizations in Syria fighting to depose Bashar al-Assad. It is the result of the merger of about fifty Damascus-based Islamist opposition groups. Over thirty of these groups were previously united under commander Zahran Alloush's Liwa al-Islam unit, which was already considered one of the best-armed organizations in the Damascus area. Alloush kept his leadership position in the new Jaish al-Islam. [2] The merger made the group the dominant rebel force in Damascus, surging ahead of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), which had until then established itself as the main opposition power in the south. [3]
Jaish al-Islam joined six other militant organizations to found the Islamic Front in December 2013. [4] Although it is clear that Jaish al-Islam has had a significant impact in the war, particularly in Damascus, little verifiable reporting is available on the group.
Jaish al-Islam is attempting to overthrow the Assad regime in Syria. It was one of eleven groups to issue a joint declaration in 2013 that rejected the power of the Syrian National Coalition and called for Islamic rule in Syria. [6]
None. In English media, Jaish al-Islam is often translated as "Islam Army."
Jaish al-Islam is not a designated terrorist organization.
Jaish al-Islam, like Liwa al-Islam before it, is backed financially by Saudi Arabia. [10]
Saudi Arabia reportedly initiated the unification of the brigades making up Jaish al-Islam in an attempt to counter the influence of Al Qaeda and its affiliates in Damascus. [11] It has acted as an advocate and intermediary for the organization, urging the U.S. to supply the group with anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles while encouraging Jaish al-Islam to accept the authority of the Supreme Military Council, an affiliate of the Free Syrian Army. [12] Leader Alloush's father is a popular Syrian cleric living in Saudi Arabia. [13] Finally, in addition to its influence in forming Jaish al-Islam, Saudi Arabia reportedly played a large role in the establishment of the Islamic Front. [14]
Jaish al-Islam operates mostly in and around Damascus. Liwa al-Islam, the largest of its brigades, is the most powerful opposition group operating in the Ghouta agricultural belt. [15]
Jaish al-Islam fights Bashar al-Assad's military and its affiliated forces. The group increases its arsenal though attacks on regime forces, as demonstrated by a July 2013 video the group published, which shows two fighter jets now in its control. [16]
Jaish al-Islam regularly engages in military attacks in Syria. However, those battles often go unreported by verifiable sources.
Liwa al-Islam originally operated as both a member of the Free Syrian Army and the Syrian Islamic Liberation Front. [18] After Liwa al-Islam merged with other groups to form Jaish al-Islam, the group was one of the eleven Islamist signatories of the September 2013 declaration that called for Shariah in Syria and rejected the Syrian National Council, the Western-backed political branch of the Supreme Military Council. [19]
Jaish al-Islam joined the alliance of Islamist rebel groups, called the Islamic Front, on November 22, 2013, as a founding member. Zahran Alloush became the military commander of the umbrella organization. [20] [21]
