text: Jairus's Daughter: Was She Dead or Wasn't She? Farrell Till All three synoptic gospels relate the story of Jairus's daughter, whom Jesus allegedly raised from the death. The accounts by Mark and Luke are in substantial agreement, but Matthew's version differs in one significant point that cannot be reconciled with the other two without resorting to typically ridiculous fundamentalist "explanations." Although the passages are quite long, they all need to be read to see the problem, so we will look first at the two accounts that are in basic agreement. An ellipsis will be inserted in each version to signal omission of the healing of the woman with the issue of blood, a miracle that allegedly happened while Jesus was on his way to Jairus's house. All three versions report this miracle, but it is not relevant to the matter of inconsistency in the story of Jairus's daughter; hence, it will be omitted in order to save space and focus attention on inconsistencies about the raising of Jairus's daughter: MARK'S VERSION: Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet and begged him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live." So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.... While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?" As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid; only believe." And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. Then He came to the house of the rule of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly. When He came in, He said to them, "Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping."And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, arise." Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement" (5:21-24, 35-42, NKJV). LUKE'S VERSION: So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying....While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him. "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher." But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well." When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping." And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead. But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, arise." Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened (8:40-42, 49-56, NKJV). At this point, the significant thing to notice is that both Mark and Luke reported that Jairus's daughter was yet alive when her father came to Jesus to ask for help. This is not the case in Matthew's version: While he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live." So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples.... When Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, He said to them, "Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping." And they ridiculed Him. But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. And the report of this went out into all that land (Matthew 9:18-19, 23-26). The major problem in the story, then, is quite simple: was the girl dead when her father came to Jesus for help or wasn't she? Mark said Jairus told Jesus that his daughter was lying _at the_point_of_death_, and Luke simply said that "she was dying." Matthew, however, had the girl's father say, "My daughter _has_just_died_." It couldn't possibly be true that the girl was both alive and dead at the time Jairus came to Jesus. She was either dead at the time or she wasn't. If she was yet alive, then Mark and Luke were right and Matthew was wrong; if she was dead at the time, then Matthew was right and Mark and Luke were wrong. Fundamentalists, of course, will not allow a simple thing like glaring contradiction to deter them from believing that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired word of God, so they have an explanation to offer. Matthew, you see, was writing the story from the point of view of the girl's death being so certain (if Jesus didn't intervene) that he had Jairus say, "My daughter has just died." Inerrantists will usually suggest an analogy like a basketball team whose star center suffers a serious injury just before the big game. "We have lost the game," someone might say under the circumstances, not at all meaning that the game has already been played and lost but that defeat is certain without the star player. This, they will argue, is all that Matthew meant. Jairus's daughter was so ill that death was certain without divine intervention, so it was appropriate for him to have Jairus speak figuratively and say, "My daughter has just died." Mark and Luke, on the other hand, chose to write more literally; hence, they stated that the girl was in a state of serious illness but still alive when her father came to Jesus. "So, you see," inerrantists will gleefully (and arbitrarily) declare, "there really is no contradiction here." Although a how-it-could-have-been explanation like this may satisfy Bible inerrantists desperately looking for a solution to an embarrassing problem, it will not satisfy objective minds who can't help noticing its failure to resolve all problems involved in reconciling the three accounts of this story. Inconsistency in what Jairus said to Jesus is just one of several difficulties in the story. Let's notice, for example, that Mark and Luke both have five elements in their versions of the story: (1) Jairus came to Jesus to ask him to help his daughter, (2) Jesus and his disciples then went with Jairus to his home, (3) on the way there, they were met by some [Mark] or someone [Luke] coming from Jairus's house who announced that the daughter had died, (4) Jesus nevertheless continued on to Jairus's house, and (5) at the house, he raised the girl from the dead. All of these elements are also in Matthew's version _except number three_. Matthew said nothing about anyone from Jairus's house meeting Jesus to announce that the girl had died. On this point, inerrantists will of course argue that omission does not constitute cotradiction, but I am not citing Matthew's omission of this detail as proof of contradiction or even inconsistency but rather to challenge the likeliness of the figurative interpretation that inerrantists apply to what Matthew's Jairus said to Jesus. They insist that the statement could have had the figurative meaning mentioned above, i.e., the death of the girl was certain and imminent enough to warrant Jairus's saying, "My daughter is dead." However, Matthew's omission of the message brought by some[one] from Jairus's house gives sufficient reason to reject their explanation. Mark and Luke, who began their versions of the story with the premise that the girl was still alive, stated that Jesus and Jairus were met by some[one] who announced that the girl had died. Matthew, on the other hand, who began the story with Jairus saying that his daughter had just died, said nothing about anyone coming to announce that the girl was now dead. Why? The answer is simple: Matthew was telling a story about Jesus going to raise a girl who was already dead, so it would have made no sense at all to have some[one] meet him to announce that the girl was dead. He would have already known that, because it was exactly what Jairus had said to him: "My daughter has just died." Hence, Matthew's omission of this detail is sufficient reason to reject the premise that he wanted readers to understand that Jairus was speaking figuratively in this version of the story. Another serious fallacy in this figurative "explanation" is the obvious fact that Matthew and Mark both purported to tell what Jairus said to Jesus, as opposed to Luke's indirect method, which simply stated that the girl "was dying," without attempting to relate what Jairus had said to express the facts of her condition. Had all three writers used Luke's method, then perhaps there would be some merit to the inerrantist attempt to resolve the problem in the manner stated above; however, the fact that two of the writers (Mark and Matthew) wrote their accounts as if to convey what Jairus said to Jesus makes the figurative "explanation" entirely unsatisfactory. What a person says is what he says, and two accounts of what someone said can't both be inerrant accounts unless both use the exact words to convey what was said. Let's imagine that someone named Jones should say, "The sun set yesterday at six-thirty P. M." That being the case, which of the following statements would be inerrant accounts of what Jones said? Yesterday, the sun set at six-thirty P. M. The sun went down yesterday at six-thirty P. M. Yesterday, the sun went down at six-thirty P. M. The sun set yesterday at eighteen hundred thirty hours. Yesterday, the sun set at eighteen hundred thirty hours. At six-thirty P. M. yesterday, the sun set. The sun set yesterday at six-thirty P. M. Although one could correctly argue that all seven statements accurately convey the meaning of what Jones said, number seven is obviously the only statement that could be considered an inerrant account of what Jones said. This is true because of the fact previously stated: what a person says is what he says and not something else. If Jones said, "The sun set yesterday at six-thirty P.M.," then he said, "The sun set yesterday at six-thirty P. M." He didn't say, "Yesterday, the sun set at six-thirty P. M." or anything else that may accurately state the meaning of what Jones said. Fundamentalists will protest that such a position as this demands more than is necessary in order to have biblical inerrancy. They insist that inspiration could have been verbal without being dictational, so to "explain" variations in the way that different writers recorded the same stories, inerrantists will talk about personal choices that the writers exercised. To explain, for example, variations in the gospel narratives concerning the number of people who went to the tomb on resurrection morning, inerrancy defenders will say that John chose to tell only about Mary Magdalene, whereas Matthew chose to give more details about who went to the tomb, so he informed us that "the other Mary" was with Mary Magdalene. Mark wanted to give even more information, so he mentioned Salome too, and Luke, the most detailed writer of them all, added that Joanna and "other women" were also in the company. "However, there is no contradiction," inerrantists will rhapsodize, "just variations in details that resulted from the writers exercising personal judgments about which details to include and which to exclude." They apply this reasoning to various parallel accounts in which details vary from writer to writer. What this argument fails to consider is that, no matter what vague lines inerrantists may try to draw between "verbal" and "dictational" inspiration, the doctrine of verbal inspiration, which is believed by practically all Bible fundamentalists, virtually eliminates all elements of individual choices. "No prophecy ever came by the will of man," inerrantists delight in reminding us, "but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit" ([ref001]2 Peter 1:21 ). What would the "will of man" be except personal choices, and that is precisely what the writer of this statement said had not been involved in prophesying. Rather than speaking by their own will, those men spoke "from God" as they were "moved by the Holy Spirit." So individual and personal choices were not involved. This conclusion is in complete agreement with what George DeHoff said in his book _Alleged_Bible_Contradictions_Explained _ as he discussed the full implications of the doctrine of verbal inspiration: The Holy Spirit taught the apostles what to say--what to write. We have, therefore, the Word of God. If God had wanted another "i" dotted or another "t" crossed, He would have had it done. The writers did not use one word unless God wanted that word used. They put in every word which God wanted them to put into the Bible (p. 23). If DeHoff is right, then how would variations _of_any_kind _ be possible in verbally inspired accounts of the same incidents? If Mark did not use "one word unless God wanted that word used" and if the same was true of Matthew and Luke, why would there be any variations at all in the telling of the story of Jairus's daughter? Are inerrantists arguing that the Holy Spirit wanted writer A to use certain words when recording an event but wanted writer B to use entirely different words when recording the same event? If so, why? Was the first account that the Holy Spirit inspired somehow imperfect and thus in need of improvement when the second account was inspired? This is something that inerrantists absolutely must explain if they expect anyone but hopelessly indoctrinated fundamentalists to take seriously such explanations as the one they offer in the matter of Jairus's daughter. In particular, DeHoff's statement makes variations impossible in what characters said in verbally inspired parallel accounts of the same incidents. If Jairus said, "My little daughter lies at the point of death," as Mark indicated, then he couldn't even have said, "My daughter is about to die," because the two statements are not identical, and he certainly could not have said, "My daughter has just died," as Matthew indicated in his account. Jairus said what he said (if the incident actually happened), so no rational person can believe that Mark's and Matthew's accounts are both verbally inspired, inerrant accounts of what Jairus said. To argue otherwise is to put one in the ridiculous position of claiming that the omniscient, omnipotent Holy Spirit verbally inspired Mark to say that Jairus said that his daughter was still alive and then later verbally inspired Matthew to say that Jairus said that his daughter was dead. So the problem would remain unresolved even if we could determine beyond question that Matthew meant for his readers to understand that Jairus was speaking figuratively, because if he did indeed speak figuratively to Jesus (Matthew's version), then he couldn't have spoken literally (Mark's version). By necessity, one writer had to have recorded his words inaccurately. Only a Bible fundamentalist can see merit in such irrational, straw-grasping "solutions" as the one offered to "explain" the problem in this story. When this point is applied to other uses of dialogue in the different accounts of the story of Jairus's daughter, we see the same problem. Mark, for example, had the messenger(s) from Jairus's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?" whereas Luke had them saying, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher." Although inerrantists will dismiss this point as a quibble, I must insist that it is a legitimate objection. If we remember that what a person _says_ is what he says, the legitimacy of the objection is apparent. If DeHoff is right and Bible writers did not use "one word unless God wanted that word used," then we must wonder why the Holy Spirit would not have wanted both inspired writers to use the exact words that the messenger(s) spoke when they announced that Jairus's daughter was dead. As a matter of fact, Mark and Luke both used the exact same words in recording what the messenger(s) said in their first sentence: ""Your daughter is dead." So if the Holy Spirit could inspire this kind of exactness in one sentence, why not in the next? It is a problem that inerrantists must confront. A simple analogy will demonstrate the obviousness of this point. Let's suppose that two reporters at the scene of a fire witness someone in flames running from the house, shouting, "Help me! Help me! Somebody please help me!" Since the reporters are both professionals, we can reasonably assume that they want to report accurately what happened. However, in writing her story, one reporter said that the person on fire shouted, "Please help me! Somebody please help me!" whereas the other one wrote that the person screamed, "Help me please! Please help me, somebody!" Although both reporters wrote accurate accounts of what happened, neither one wrote an inerrant account, because neither one reported _exactly_ what the person shouted. We would understand that the failure to report the exact words of the person on fire was due to human fallibility. No one, however, would believe that the failure to report exactly what was said was an intentional matter of choice, for what professional journalist would purposely report what he knew wasn't accurate? In other words, if the reporters had been able to recall exactly what the person had screamed, they undoubtedly would have both reported his exact words. Now let's apply this to the matter of what Jairus said to Jesus. If Jairus really did come to Jesus and ask for help, he had to have said something. An omniscient, omnipotent deity would have known exactly what Jairus had said, so if this deity later verbally inspired three people to write accounts of what Jairus had said, all three accounts would have attributed the exact same words to Jairus. If not, why not? So the fact that all three accounts did not use identical words in reporting what Jairus said to Jesus, what the messenger(s) said to Jairus, what Jesus said to the mourners at Jairus's house, and what Jesus said to the girl when ordering her to arise, we can know that the three accounts can't _all _ be verbally inspired. We can probably expect inerrantists to resort to their old standby: "If three people witness an accident, the police reports that they file will contain variations...." Yes, this is true, but inerrantists who use this argument conveniently forget one important thing: the three people who witness the accident are not verbally inspired by an omniscient, omnipotent deity while they are writing their police reports. If they were, we would have reason to expect all three accounts to be in perfect agreement. Variations in the three versions of the story of Jairus's daughter is just the tip of a biblical-inconsistency iceberg. The fact that parallel accounts in the Bible so often vary, sometimes significantly, in reporting what characters allegedly said is more than sufficient to reject the claim that the Bible was verbally inspired by an omniscient, omnipotent God.

Some of President Barack Obama's health care numbers don't seem to add up. And that's complicating his efforts to pass his top domestic priority.
Obama could be falling into the same trap that snagged George W. Bush when he was pushing private accounts for Social Security as part of his "ownership society" in 2005. Bush's claims that the proposal would help shore up Social Security's long-term finances were hard to document mathematically and wound up feeding greater public skepticism.

Can Obama keep his no-tax pledge?
President Barack Obama is struggling to find a way to pay for an overhaul of the nation's health care system without violating his campaign promise not to raise taxes on the middle class.
Obama's dilemma was highlighted this week when two top economic advisers refused to rule out a middle class tax hike as a possible way to pay the health care overhaul bill or to reduce the rapidly escalating federal deficit. They were quickly overruled by a White House that insisted Obama intends to keep his campaign promise.

Obama officials admit tax hike is likely
Two of President Barack Obama's economic heavyweights said middle-class taxes might have to go up to pare budget deficits or to pay for the proposed overhaul of the nation's health care system.
The tough talk from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers on Sunday capped a week that brought rare good news for the economy: The worst recession in the United States since World War II could be on the verge of ending. Even so, officials appeared willing to extend unemployment benefits.

Obama may create special 'terror prison'
The Obama administration is looking at creating a courtroom-within-a-prison complex in the U.S. to house suspected terrorists, combining military and civilian detention facilities at a single maximum-security prison.
Several senior U.S. officials said the administration is eyeing a soon-to-be-shuttered state maximum security prison in Michigan and the 134-year-old military penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., as possible locations for a heavily guarded site to hold the 229 suspected al-Qaida, Taliban and foreign fighters now jailed at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba.
The officials outlined the plans — the latest effort to comply with President Barack Obama's order to close the prison camp by Jan. 22, 2010, and satisfy congressional and public fears about incarcerating terror suspects on American soil — on condition of anonymity because the options are under review.

Over these last dozen years or so, I've had the privilege to meet and train with a variety of tremendous, inspiring people. Some stuck with training and even became close friends. But not everyone was tremendous. Or inspiring. Some of those who have contacted me have been downright strange, even hostile, treating both me and the art like commodities for purchase. So, here's an open letter to all those wannabes, geeks, and jerks, who over the years bobbed to the surface (and continue to!) like Cold War-era naval contact mines, just looking for hulls to breach ...
You are now worse just for looking at this. |
First off, my name is James. What's yours? If you intend on training, I'll have to know at some point, so please don't send anonymous emails. There's a magical way I deal with them: I push this thing called "delete" and they disappear. I know, it's like Hogwarts! Also, don't just ask questions like, "How much?" Or send poetry: "Location. Cost. Times." There's a reason I list the areas, and not the addresses, of where we train, blockhead: You. So, the answer to existential questions like, "Where are you?" are answered thusly: I'm right here, Kierkegaard, pressing delete.
And bear in mind, should you use your extraordinary Holmesian skills of deduction to actually locate us in our secret James Bond-underground-Atlas-missile facility and pop in unannounced, we may suddenly become tediously boring and maybe even a little rude. Enjoy strangers showing up at your abandoned aircraft hangar training lair with black-clad commandos rappelling from the ceiling? Neither do we.
In your message, please introduce yourself - write a short bio, which I am always eager to read. The reason I ask for the bio is simple: You probably won't do it. You'll see it as a hassle or some imagined infringement; think it "bullshit" and move on. Beautiful. It's the first hoop to jump that's the hardest. However, should you write the bio, which I appreciate, be sincere - writing, "Born. Trained martial arts. Contacted you." does not count, will set my "ACME Douchebag Sensor" a-buzzing, and your bio, written with such care, will be subject to magic.
Okay, this is kind of awesome. |
You also need to include a contact number, so I can phone, and we can chat. When we talk I'll use my Batman-trained, Ninja-Jedi-Spider-Sense to intuit who you are and whether or not I can assist you. However, if you use any words I think amight strange, such as, "destiny," "kuji," "kuji-kiri," "smoke bomb/s," "poison," "MKUltra," "Koga," "Naruto," "3000 Iranian female ninjas," or any number of other words I think showcase your need for a short-bus ticket, I may be pulled away from the phone suddenly for an emergency sock drawer rearrangement.
But If I really think I can help you, I'll invite you to train with us. If not, I'll thank you for your interest, politely send you on your way, and slug three fingers of Glenlivet to restore my power from your kind's 'plus 5 skill-sucking attack spell of ability-drain.'
Now, there may be plenty of reasons as to why you may not be allowed to train with us. Here's my main reason: Because. Let me be clearer: Because I said so. Turns out, I don't actually need a reason to allow people to train – training is a privilege, not a right. This means, in turn, I also don't need a reason to disallow people to train. This is true for one simple reason: Risk I incur to teach you.
Follow me: Let's say you begin training and during that time learn all kinds of sweet moves to protect yourself and others. And one day you use a sweet move to - rightly or wrongly, but in your case probably wrongly - injure somebody. By law, the injured party could choose to haul my ass into court, suing me for teaching you the said sweet moves. Therefore, it behooves me to only allow those I deem responsible and trustworthy enough to train in accepting the burden of risk I must incur to teach them. With me so far?
Deckmaster and Girl Chaser-Wayer. |
You must understand something - I'm not running a business; I don't do this to put food on my table, so I'm not obligated to reel in everyone interested, entice them with mastery of the secrets of the Ninja, and sign them to a multi-year ironclad contract. (BTW, if you tell me you're destined to learn the secrets of the Ninja I'm hanging up on you.)
I train and teach (coach/guide, really) because I enjoy it and it's become part of who I am. And after a dozen or so years of running a dojo, I've managed to draw together a bunch of really nice, cool people that are interested in becoming even nicer and cooler. Now, you may not be cool - perhaps you play, "Magic: The Gathering" or can speak at length extemporaneously on the Star Trek/Star Wars question (like me). No matter. At the very least you need to be nice. So, be nice.
If you consider none of this a good enough explanation, perhaps this final point will help: Suck it. I don't have to explain myself. Not to you or anyone. If I say you don't train, guess what Alex Trebek - "What is ... you leaving?" This isn't a debate or a democracy. You don't get a vote (and being in Chicago, don't get to vote early and often). You need not retort with a "better" answer so I see the light. Our conversation is over – you had me at "Ninja secrets."
Yes! Fight and struggle! |
However, for future generations, I will now articulate this teeny-weeny point of logic: Either you are here to train in this martial art or you are here to train with me. If you want only to train in this martial art, you're in luck! There are lots of people that train and teach this martial art and you're free to contact them! Problem solved.
Hope this helps!
Not your next instructor,

Congo bishop urges peace: "In the name of God, let us live!"
Bishop Theophile Kaboy of Goma has condemned the violence sweeping the troubled east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. In a pastoral letter, Bishop Kaboy says called for an end to "the vicious circle of violence" and pleaded "in the name of God , let us live!"Goma sees yet more fighting in troubled Congo
Goma in the troubled east of the Democratic Republic of Congo was shelled again this week despite the UN peacekeeping force (MONSUCO) putting a security perimeter around the city.May 23, 2013
Caritas helping those forced to flee in Congo
Fighting near Goma, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo's largest city, has killed at least 20 people since Monday and ended an uneasy six-month calm between the army and fighters from the M23 rebel group.Fighting returns to Nord-Kivu in Congo
By Guy-Marin Kamandji
After about six months of a truce, fighting has resumed around the eastern Congolese city of Goma, in North Kivu. An offensive by M23 rebels started on Monday 20 May at dawn in Mutaho.
Eye-witnesses, speaking on Radio Okapi, said, "We heard heavy arms fire on the hills around our homes from about 4 in the morning. We left immediately without taking anything. It is under these conditions that we arrived at Mugunga... we were scattered. There are people who have not found their children."
Caritas says it registered 132 families in Mugunga III camp on Monday from Mutaho.
"M23 troops resumed fighting in the early hours of Monday. These clashes have caused a panic among the population of several villages and many people have moved to a neighborhood in the north east of Goma," said Caritas Goma.
"Our last information is that 3000 people have arrived at the St.Francis Xavier [...]

By Taylor Toeka, Caritas Goma
Germain Muhindo comes top of his class almost always, yet a few months ago the eight year old first grader had never even seen a chalkboard. But he had seen war. He was forced into being a child soldier for three months in September 2012 by fighters in the Democratic Republic of Congo's ravaged east.
"We were working to the fields when we met the rebels," said Germain. "They ordered my older brother, who is thirteen, to carry their bags. He refused so they hit him and made him do it. As there were only two of us, they made me come along too."
Half a million people were driven from their homes in North Kivu last year and thousands of children were taken to be used as soldiers, cooks, messengers, porters or the girls as sex slaves by government and rebel forces.

Rebel repatriation goes wrong in Congo leading to new crisis
An effort to repatriate Rwanda rebels currently in the Democratic Republic of Congo has ended in violence that's forced thousands to flee.
250 rebels from Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) plus 500 of their dependents gave themselves up for repatriation to Congolese government troops and local militias in Walungu, South Kivu in eastern Congo on 2 January.
But the plan went wrong and ended in heavy fighting between the Rwandan rebels and the Congolese forces. Further fighting has ensued and the rebels have now escaped into the forest.
Over 5,800 families have been forced to flee because of the fighting. Caritas Bukavu is working in the area to provide emergency food rations for one or two weeks, thanks to funds received from Caritas members.

Rescuing child soldiers in Congo's war
Although international law has called for an end the recruitment of children into armed forces for over a decade, in the Democratic Republic of Congo the practice is widespread.Congo bishops decry chaos in East
The Catholic bishops of the Democratic Republic of Congo are urging for an end to the conflict in the east of the country. They condemn rebel militia for seizing the city of Goma last month and the foreign powers who support them. They also urge their government and politicians to address the root causes of the war and the lack of governance, infrastructure and services in the East. The Church leaders are urging the international community to look again at the mandate for UN peacekeepers based in Eastern Congo, who took no action during the fall of Goma.

James Glickenhaus Unleashes Monumental SCG003 GT Cars
If you know your racing, the livery on the Competizione should look familiar. It is a tribute to the MkIV Ford GT40 in 1967. The LMP1-inspired SCG003C will compete in the GT class and will first appear in the Nurburgring 24 in May.
Maybe the coolest part of these cars is that they're built so you can drive the car to the track, convert into race mode, compete, and flip back to cruise back home. Glickenhaus wanted to bring it back to the old ways of racing. Both cars will debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week, and the road car will start to be delivered in late 2015.

We will Resolve, in this section a linear ODE's system whose roots of the auxiliary equation are complex
Lets the ODE's system
Note that this is actually an initial value problem represented by a linear system of differential equations
where, x is the independent variable and the variables y, z are dependent variables
To begin, and as explained in the theory sections, we seek solutions of the form
We substitute (1) in our system to obtain
This system will have nontrivial solution if and only if determinant of their coefficients is annulled, ie
This gives a quadratic equation in the m- variable:
This is the case of complex conjugate roots, we apply methods saw in theory sections, using the initial conditions and taking constants 1, we obtain
Substituting in the system we have finally the general solution of our ODEs system

Some motorcycle manufacturers apparently believe that putting a sticker on the gas tank will prevent riders from doing irresponsible things on the bike. Whether or not the manufacturers' belief is correct, you may not like the look of the decals, and many riders prefer to remove them. Fortunately removal of decals from a motorcycle gas tank is not difficult, it just requires some patience to avoid scratching or otherwise damaging the paint while you remove the sticker.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Blow dryer
- Adhesive dissolvent
Show More
- 1
Moisten the sticker and the area around it with an adhesive removal product. You can buy many products designed to remove adhesive goo. Read the label to make sure the product you choose will not damage your paint job. Let the product soak into the edges of the decal for several minutes. Rushing this step only adds frustration and can actually make the sticker removal take longer.
- 2
Warm the sticker. Using a blow dryer, heat up the sticker and the surrounding area. You do not need to get the area too hot, since excessive heat can damage your paint job, but you do want the area warm enough to loosen the adhesive. As you complete the following steps, if you feel the area beginning to cool down, or if parts of the decal seem more difficult to remove, try adding a little more heat.
- 3
Lift a corner of the decal. Working from one corner of the sticker gently and steadily lift up on it, separating the sticker from the gas tank. If the sticker starts to tear --- and adding more heat does not make it come up easily --- move to another corner and try removing the sticker from that side. If small amounts of sticker tear, you can clean it up later, but if large amounts of the sticker refuse to come loose, add a little more adhesive remover in those areas and repeat steps one and two before continuing to try to remove the decal.
- 4
Once the sticker comes off, clean off any small areas that remain stuck with a little more residue remover. You can gently scrape at any remaining pieces with your fingernail, or with a soft edge silicon spatula. Wipe the area down with a soft rag once you have it clean.
Tips and warnings
- You can use heat sources other than a blow dryer as long as there is no direct flame, and as long as you monitor the heat level carefully to avoid blistering your paint.
- The same technique works to remove other stickers and decals from the motorcycle's painted surfaces.
- Do Not use anything hard to scratch at the decal or try to remove it when it is cold. Trying to scrape a cold sticker off the gas tank will probably not work, and probably will damage the paint.

Location: Beneficial Insects Introduction Research
2011 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
This project seeks to reduce populations of EAB without adverse effects on the environment via biological control approaches relevant to the knowledge base of the target pest and its natural enemies, and has three objectives representing different aspects and/or stages of classical biological control research and development:
1: Explore for natural enemies (parasitoids) of EAB in its native range and evaluate their suitability for introduction.
1a - Explore for parasitoids of EAB in its native range.
1b - Evaluate the suitability of discovered parasitoid for introduction to
North America for EAB control.
2: Evaluate impacts of extant (indigenous) and previously introduced parasitoids on populations of EAB, particularly in northeastern and/or Midwestern states.
3: Develop effective mass rearing technologies for hymenopteran parasitoids of EAB and other invasive pests.
3a - Determine the key life history parameters of the concerned parasitoid
3b - Determine the optimal host stage and host density (or host to parasitoid
exposure ratio).
3c - Determine the optimal environmental conditions for adult parasitoid
survival, oviposition, and progeny development.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
We will conduct foreign exploration for parasitoids of EAB in its native range including the Far East region of Russia, Korea, and China. In each of the study areas, five to 10 sites will be selected for EAB parasitoid exploration covering a wide range of habitats including upland and riparian natural forests with Oriental Fraxinus spp. and plantations of both North American and Oriental Fraxinus spp. At each selected site, ash trees will be examined for signs of EAB infestation in late summer, fall, and/or spring. Ash trees exhibiting any signs of infestation will then be felled, and debarked for sampling different immature stages of EAB and associated parasitoids. Promising parasitoid species collected from the foreign exploration will then be tested in quarantine against a list of North American Native wood-boring beetles to determine their host specificity. After completing host range studies, we will develop an environmental impact assessment (EIA) of proposed releases of the promising parasitoids, which will be selected based on their efficacy against EAB in the native range (Asia) and host specificity against North American native (nontarget) wood boring beetles, and submit the EIA to USDA APHIS (or other regulatory authorities) for review and approval. Once the selected candidate species are cleared for release by Federal and State regulatory authorities, efforts will be directed towards field release and establishment along with development of mass-rearing technologies and impact assessment.
3. Progress Report
EMERALD ASH BORER RESEARCH: Five study sites have been selected in the Russian Far East region, where ash (Fraxinus mandshurica and F. ryhnchophylla) trees at each site were girdled in this spring and will be sampled in next fall. In addition, three species of parasitoids (Hymenoptera) have emerged from EAB egg and larval samples collected last fall: two species of braconids (Braconidae) - Atanycolus sp and Spathius sp, and one species of encyrtid (Encyrtidae). These research activities relate to the project Objective 1a.
Studies of the biology and life history traits of EAB larval parasitoids (such as T. planipennisi and Spathius sp) (Objective 3) were once hindered by the lack of efficient methods to rear high quality host larvae. Most recently, however, we have discovered that EAB eggs artificially grafted to freshly cut logs of tropical (F. udhei) ash can successfully hatch, bore into the phloem, and develop into late instars suitable for attack of EAB larval parasitoids (T. planipennisi, Spathius sp, and Atanycolus spp). With the tropical ash-based EAB rearing system, we have successfully studied the biology and life history traits of the previously introduced EAB larval parasitoid (T. planipennisi). Findings from our studies have provided insights into the biology and life history traits of EAB larval parasitoids, and lead to significant improvement in mass production of EAB larval parasitoids such as T. planipennisi and Spathius sp.
In collaboration with USDA FS and APHIS, Maryland Department of Agriculture and University of Massachusetts, six study sites in Michigan and two study sites in Maryland have been established for evaluation of the impacts of three previously introduced parasitoids (T. planipennisi, S. agrili, and Oobius agrili). Large numbers of the previously introduced parasitoids were or have been continuously released at each of the study sites. Following the field release of those parasitoids, their establishment in North American ash stands and potential in suppressing EAB populations were evaluated by sampling immature stages of emerald ash borer populations in the spring of 2011. Results from 2011 spring sampling indicated that both larval parasitoid T. planipennisi and egg parasitoid O. agrili were consistently recovered from all the study sites, whereas the other larval parasitoid Spathius agrili was recovered less frequently (only in one study site in Michigan, and one in Maryland). A complex of native North American parasitoids were also frequently associated with EAB larvae across different study sites in both Michigan and Maryland. These research activities relate to the project Objective 2.
QUARANTINE SERVICES: A total of 66 permitted consignments were sent or received by the Quarantine Facility, consisting of over 6845 specimens, 5 potential beneficial species). From these consignments and cultures established from previous consignments, a total of 14 outgoing shipments (5008 specimens, 4 potential beneficial species) were shipped out. A total of 13 identification requests were submitted and responded to by the ARS Systematic Entomology Laboratory for determination.
4. Accomplishments
1. Develop a new method for emerald ash borer (EAB) parasitoid rearing. The emerald ash borer is an invasive pest that has killed millions of North American ash trees since its detection in 2002. ARS researchers at Newark, DE, have discovered that EAB eggs artificially grafted to freshly cut logs or twigs of tropical ash can successfully hatch, bore into the twigs, and develop a form that is highly suitable for attack of EAB parasitoids (biocontrol agents). This discovery has allowed us to produce large quantities of high quality EAB year-around for biocontrol agent rearing by using greenhouse-grown tropical ash twigs. The method has been currently adopted by USDA Forest Service Northern Research Station (Lansing, MI) and APHIS-PPQ Otis Laboratory (Buzzard Bay, MA) and APHIS Brighton EAB Biocontrol Laboratory (Brighton, MI) for mass production of EAB biocontrol agents. This discovery will significantly facilitate the large-scale implementation of EAB biocontrol programs in the US because large quantities of the larval parasitoids can now be produced year-around with the EAB hosts reared on alternative host plants.

Six unique perspectives and the first Portfolio Competition winner
EXHIBITION DATES: April 8, 2015 – May 2, 2015
OPENING RECEPTION: Tuesday, April 7, 2015, from 6pm to 8pm.
In April, the gallery presents the initial portfolio selected from the first annual International Portfolio Competition and six individual shows each with a unique perspective.
Chapter Eleven Peter Agron |
"This selection of pictures is not intended as a substitute for the medical advice of physicians. The viewer should regularly consult a physician in matters relating to his/her health and particularly with respect to any symptoms that may require diagnosis or medical attention." |
Abstracts Irene Greenberg |
"Walls and other surfaces can tell a story. They reflect the passing of time and the passing of people. They change and dissolve depending on their age and how they are formed and maintained. Sometimes, I imagine other images in the abstract markings that age and wear have left behind." |
Ice & Sky: Greenland George Greenstein |
"Greenland is one of the most inhospitable places on earth. Half the size of the USA, its population is that of a small village. In summer the sun never sets: in winter it never rises. I experienced there a terrain gigantic, solemn and inhospitable, and possessed of a stern implacable beauty. Music accompanying the exhibit reflects this sense." |
Layers Jay Matusow |
"In my best photographs, I've identified something that visually excites me and found a way to reproduce that emotion in someone else. With this end in mind, I feel no obligation to record literal interpretations of what I see if another approach feels more effective. In Layers, I've used stacking and masking techniques to combine portions of different images to elicit a sense of how the best of the visual world feels to me." |
Road Trip: New Mexico Ruth Raskin |
"Two weeks. More than 1,500 miles. Thirteen rolls of black-and-white film. These silver gelatin prints document the landscapes, cityscapes, sunsets, aliens and vehicles I encountered during a classic American endeavor: the road trip." |
Flora Sonia Toledo |
"This work is inspired by a visit to Georgia O'Keeffe's museum in Santa Fe in 2013. The photographs echo one of her famous quotes: "Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time — like to have a friend takes time." |
Diptychs I & II Robert Kalman International Portfolio Competition |
Soho Photo Gallery's panel of jurors for the inaugural International Portfolio Competition has selected three portfolios for exhibition. Each portfolio will be on exhibit for one month. Robert Kalman, of Brewster, NY will exhibit in April. The two other artists will exhibit in May and June. There were 108 portfolios submitted consisting of 1,821 images. The portfolios came from 24 states and 12 countries. |

I will try to remember......If that picture of the fence in your header is the new one it looks dynamite! That is the thing I hate about my denuded front shrub border....lack of privacy but I bet lots of stuff comes back from the roots and I will let one or two things grow.
Like the new header picture of various things.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate your notes, comments and questions and will try to reply to each one! :-)

text: The Ataxx wiki last edited by ZombiePie on 02/02/14 05:41PM View full history History Ataxx was originally created in the United Kingdom by Dave Crummack and Craig Galley in 1988. The original title of the game was Infection and it was made for the Amiga. They attempted to port it to the Spectrum and Amstrad CPC systems but these versions never saw the light of day. The Leland Corporation, an arcade machine manufacturer, took notice of the game and a deal was made to release it in arcades under the title Ataxx. Ataxx has carved a small niche for itself in the history of video games, though mostly forgotten now, it was once featured as a mini-game in the immensely popular PC game The 7th Guest. GameplayAtaxx is often described as a variant of Othello , but this is misleading. There are some formal similarities—you could easily use the same graphics for an Ataxx and an Othello game, Ylian Saint-Hilaire did that—but as soon as you start playing Ataxx, you will notice that it is a completely different game, and your experience with Othello won't help you at all.Typically, Ataxx is played on a 7×7 board, but some implementations have increased the board size up to 13×13. Typically, there are obstacles on the board, often generated randomly but symmetrically at the start of the game. The players start with two stones each placed in diagonally opposed corners of the board. At each turn, a player may either:Place a stone next to one of his or her own stones, orMove a stone over two squares. Some implementations allow only straight movement, some diagonal as well, and some even knight jumps. Some allow jumping over an obstacle, some don't, but you can always jump over an enemy stone.All the enemy stones on the eight neighboring fields of the newly placed stone then change color. The game is over when no more legal moves are possible, and the player with more stones has won. Ataxx In Other Games!Ataxx was featured as a mini-game in the 7th Guest. 7up made a clone of Ataxx featuring their mascot Cool Spot.An online version called Boogers is still very popular.The Sierra game Mega Math had a version of Ataxx where you did math problems in order to make moves. An iphone clone called Green Thumb features different style boards to complete.There is a version called Hexxagon released on PC by Software Creations in 1993. This is played on a hexagonal board.A freeware version called Kloon! is available online with varying game options.

Comments about Ruby Rd. Boat Neck Embellished Front Tie Dye Stripe Print Knit Top:
Bought this top because it looked more special than most. I liked the tie-dye with stripes design, and with the sparkly silver studs on the bodice. The fit was great, I got a misses size large. This top can be worn most anywhere, a little bit dressy, but not too much. Love it!

For Immediate Release
PRESTON L. DOERFLINGERDirector and Secretaryof Finance, Administration and Information Technology
MARY FALLINGovernor
State of OklahomaOffice of Management and Enterprise Services
June 10, 2014
OKLAHOMA CITY — General Revenue Fund (GRF) collections in May fell 5.3 percent short of the official estimate after another month of lower than projected corporate income tax collections.
As state government's main operating fund, the GRF is the key indicator of state government's fiscal status and the predominant funding source for the annual state budget. Made up of nearly 70 revenue sources, the GRF is where all taxes flow except those dedicated to specific programs.
May GRF collections of $449.5 million were $5.9 million, or 1.3 percent, below prior year collections and $25.3 million, or 5.3 percent, below the official estimate upon which the Fiscal Year 2014 appropriated state budget is based. FY 14 year-to-date GRF collections total $5 billion, which is $9.1 million, or 0.2 percent, below prior year collections and $251.8 million, or 4.8 percent, below the estimate.
May's decline was driven by continued shortfalls in corporate income tax collections to the GRF. Oklahoma collected $9.1 million in corporate income taxes in May, but none of it reached the GRF because refunds totaled $15.4 million. As a result, May became the third month this fiscal year during which the GRF received no corporate income tax revenue.
"It's been a wild year for the corporate category," said Secretary of Finance, Administration and Information Technology Preston L. Doerflinger. "Corporate is always volatile, so no one should rush to conclusions or point fingers at businesses for following tax law. The net annual growth in every other major category shows our economy is still strong and further underscores the noneconomic nature of the isolated revenue issues seen elsewhere."
With one month remaining in FY 14, combined sales, gross production and motor vehicle tax collections to the GRF are above prior year collections by $183.7 million. However, those gains have been largely offset by corporate income tax declines. YTD corporate income tax collections to the GRF total $246.4 million, which is $135.4 million, or 35.5 percent, below prior year collections and $151 million, or 38 percent, below the estimate.
"Other states are reporting similar corporate declines and many of our colleagues in those states share cautious optimism that at least part of this is temporary," Doerflinger said. "States are seeing inflated effects of federal tax law changes that should even out over time. On top of that, Oklahoma may be seeing some level of natural correction in corporate collections this year after having our strongest year of the millennium for corporate collections last year. A lot of factors are hitting at once, so we should be cautious in our assessments."
At February's Board of Equalization meeting, Gov. Mary Fallin asked Doerflinger and Treasurer Ken Miller to develop recommendations to improve state revenue forecasting. The recommendations will be presented to the board at its next meeting June 16.
"The state's revenue forecast was way off this year and I believe we've identified some practical ways to remedy that in the near future," Doerflinger said.
Doerflinger is director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services, which issues the monthly GRF reports.
Major tax categories in May contributed the following amounts to the GRF:
