Jesus and the earth.
James Jones
A talk given by the Rt Revd James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool, at the conference Jesus and the earth: the Gospel and the future of the environment. 8th February 2003, University of Gloucester
"The Son of Man has authority on earth"
When I was a student reading theology there was a popular joke:
Jesus said to Peter "Who do men say that I am?"
Peter said to Jesus "Thou art the eschatological manifestation of the ground of our being"
Jesus said to Peter "You what?"
It poked fun at how theological language and concepts can be so remote from people's lives. Who on earth knows the meaning of eschatology? Well, it may not be widely understood, yet I suggest that the dominant theological concept that will push off the shelves all other ologies from ecclesiology to pneumatology will be eschatology. Why? Because it is the study of the end, a look into the future. To put it into popular speak "What on earth will happen to the earth?" or to give the question a theological slant "What in heaven's name will become of the earth?"
The instability of the Middle East could have the same devastating consequences on the international body of nations as a burst appendix. Certainly since September 11th ordinary people have become more aware of their insecurity and of the fragility of the world. International terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, global market collapse, financial crises, epidemics of disease, disappearance of animal species, pollution of the seas and atmosphere, exploitation of national resources to the point of extinction present the ingenuity of the human family with the challenge of survival. You don't have to be a pathological pessimist to begin to wonder where and how all this will end. The media have already begun to ask the question. Bryan Appleyard in the Sunday Times explored in a major feature the Top Ten Terrible Things that might happen to the world and a major TV Drama Series "The Second Coming" by the atheist Will Russell wondered how the Son of God might come again to the earth.
As society becomes more occupied with these doomsday scenarios the faith communities will engage in the debate and offer their own insights. Christian theologians have distinctive contributions to make. Paul Fiddes' "The Promised End" and John Polkingthorne's "The God of Hope and the End of the World" take us gently yet resolutely to the edge to contemplate the future. I believe there will be a renewed popular interest in what different faiths have to say about our destiny both personal and global. Within Christianity there will be, indeed it has already started, a revisiting of the Bible to learn what the scriptures say about the end of the world.
In America popular novels about the end of the world have topped the best seller lists.
But these are not new questions. The Liverpool poet Gerard Manley Hopkins was facing them in his famous poem "God's Grandeur".
The world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out, like shining from shook foil; It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil; And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod. And for all this, nature is never spent; There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; And though the last lights off the black West went Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs - Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
One wonders whether after the Johannesburg Summit Hopkins would have written so optimistically "Nature is never spent".
It is the big ecological question: Have we passed the point of no return? Does the earth possess the power to heal itself? Does there still live "the dearest freshness deep down things".
The purpose of this paper has a specific focus. It asks simply what was the attitude of Jesus to the earth. It is based on a conviction that to discern Christ's attitude to the earth would be formative in shaping the outlook of those who learn from him under his authority.
When it comes to ethics of the environment or what could be called an earth-ethic Christians often turn to the pages of the Old Testament. I was recently asked to write the preface to a booklet on sustainable development by a leading evangelical charity. All the biblical references in this pamphlet came from the Old Testament, there were none from the Gospels.
In a conversation with the Chief Rabbi about Jewish environmental ethics when I quizzed him about Genesis he dismissed this (ever so graciously) as a typically Christian way of handling the Bible! In short, he went to the pages of Deuteronomy and to the law that forbade the invading forces to destroy any fruit-bearing tree as they lay siege to the cities of the Promised Land. On the nicety of this legal point did the Jew construct an ethic about the environment.
For various reasons both personal and theological (and, to be honest, it is difficult to disentangle the two) when it came to my study leave I wanted to see what the Gospels revealed of Jesus' attitude to the earth. My own spirituality has, since I was a boy, been heartily focused on Jesus. I read, translate and study the Gospels nearly every day. As I became more intensely aware of the critical issues facing the earth, not least through my encounters with young people, I found myself urgently enquiring whether this concern found any sympathy in the teaching and example of Jesus. (Refer here to engagement with thousands of young people in Lent 2000). I am conscious of how much we read into texts and how we can obscure their meaning by the cultural baggage that we carry and, to change the metaphor, what we fail to see because of the smears that tint the lenses of our reading spectacles.
Up until my study leave if you had asked me what Jesus had to say about the earth and whether the Gospels had anything to give in formulating an environmental ethic I would have thought "precious little". All that has changed. I have read the Gospels again and again and am still reading. I am determined to read out of the text and not into it. Others will have to judge on that! I find myself unearthing things in the Gospels which persuade me that Jesus not only was earthed but also saw his mission as none other than the earthing of heaven. "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" was the logical sequitur of his prayer for the coming of the Good Father's Kingdom. This paper is a reflection on my search for evidence of the connectedness of Jesus to the earth and begins in the stormiest of waters and the furious debates over what Jesus meant when he called himself "The Son of Man". It is the only title that he ascribes to himself. Although, of course, he affirms acclamations that he is the Christ, the Son of God, Lord and God.
As I read through the Gospels I wrote down and marked in green all references to the earth (Those with CD Rom will find this not such a laborious task. By the way, there are 863 references to the earth in the whole Bible and 165 in the Gospels. Those interested in numerical detail will surely be impressed that this compares with 494 references to heaven and 537 references to love! The number of references shows that the Bible is as interested in the earth as much as in the heaven!).
Again it was in that same conversation with the Chief Rabbi that he reminded me that in Hebrew the phrase "Son of Man" is Ben Adam, Son of Adam, and Adam is the one hewn from Adamah, the Hebrew for "earth". This led me to write down and mark in red all references to the Son of Man and to see whether there are any occasions in the Gospels when Jesus refers to himself as Son of Man and in the same context talks about the earth.
There are at least six occasions when the green and red marks appear together, and maybe as many as ten depending on how you read the passages.
Every theologian I have talked to has urged me to be cautious about the significance of this and of assuming that Jesus would have been conscious of adam/adamah root to the designation "Son of Man". What is clear is that this is the only title, if it is that, which he takes to himself. Is it, as Vermes argues, simply a circumlocution for the personal pronoun "I" or does it, as Walter Wink in his recently published "Human Being" argues, signify a title? And if it does and has its roots in Old Testament usage is it Daniel or Ezekiel or Genesis or the Psalms that are being evoked? However debatable that question is, what is indisputable is that Paul clearly saw a definitive relationship between Jesus and Adam (Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15). But was this ever in the mind of Jesus or even the writers of the Gospels?
Of the six passages in the Gospels where the Son of Man and the earth are explicitly mentioned together let us look at three from Luke, Matthew, and John.
The Lucan passage occurs in all these synoptic Gospels. It is the story of the forgiving and healing of a person paralysed and incapable of walking. Having absolved him Jesus says to him and his critics "The Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins". Luke 5 v24.
Each synoptic Gospel account includes the reference to the earth. Why "on earth"? What is added to the meaning of his authority to forgive by stating explicitly that it was "on earth"? Many avenues of enquiry are opened up by this question. By suggesting one in particular I am not suggesting the closing down of others. If, and I know the enormity of two-letter words however provisional they are in nature, if the title "Son of Man" had any allusion to Adam, to adamah and the earth, one avenue of enquiry would lead us to the opening chapters of Genesis. The context of this saying of Jesus is the forgiving of the paralysed man "Son, your sins are forgiven". Once in Genesis the mention of sin takes us directly to the disobedience of the first Adam, the sin and its consequences. But is there any mention of the earth in the story of Adam's falling into sin. There is of course. The result of their sin is that the earth is cursed.
Adam who was hewn from the earth and called to serve the earth (Genesis 2 v7,15) finds that his sin wreaks havoc on the earth: "cursed is the ground because of you". (3 v17) (See the Septuagint where is used which is the word used in Luke).
The only way that the earth can be relieved of its curse is through the forgiveness, healing and restoration of Adam's successors. It is not only Christian, Muslim and Jewish theologians who would concur with this view. Countless environmentalists, pressure groups and lobbyists would testify to the truth that the wholeness of the earth, the future of the planet, depends upon the repentance and restoration to wholeness of the human family. John McNeil's "Something New under the Sun" shows how human folly and greed are responsible for disease of the earth. Lomborg in his book "The Sceptical Environmentalist" has sought to undermine these anxieties and received widespread publicity. However, his own scientific methods and conclusions have been dismissed as flawed by the Danish Committee on Scientific Dishonesty. You don't have to believe in God to believe the biblical adage "You reap what you sow". The earth bears the wounds of human sinfulness. "The whole creation has been groaning" says Paul clinging to the "hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay".
The future wholeness of the earth and the whole of creation according to Paul is bound up with the destiny of the children of God. A redeemed humanity is central to that vision. Key to that redemption is God's forgiveness. In short, how can the earth be freed from the curse of human sinfulness? Only through God appointing and anointing a successor to Adam to have "authority on earth to forgive sins". This is clearly how Luke saw Jesus. This Jesus who is "the Son of Man (who) has authority on earth to forgive sins" undoes the earth-damaging word of Adam. Luke is in no doubt that the person and work of Jesus are related to the first Adam. He may not articulate it with the eloquence of Paul in Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15. Yet two chapters earlier in the climax of his genealogy of Jesus Luke unequivocally states that this Son of Man who has authority on earth to forgive sins in Chapter 5 is not only "Son of God" but also "Son of Adam", Ben Adam, Son of the One hewn from the earth. (Luke 3, v38).
Let us turn to Matthew for the second time that the Son of Man and the earth appear in the same context. Forgiveness presupposes judgement. The authority of the Son of Man to forgive sins on earth assumes that the earth and its people are under some form of divine judgement. This is a theological idea which is out of fashion in many church circles although it is bedded in the imagination of popular attitude with the question "Well, if there is a God, whey doesn't he do something about the state of the world". There is an expectation that God will discern between good and bad, divide the people and act against those and that which is evil. Herein lies an aspiration for a God of justice to judge. I have often said that if we press the question and the hope for God to act in such a way, who, do we imagine, would be left? Such a longing for justice leaves us hoping for mercy. We look to God to be both Judge and Saviour. This notion that the earth and its people live under some experience of judgement is strongly felt by environmental lobbyists who daily point to the result of abusive human exploitation of the planet and to the ecological crisis now upon us. Crisis is the Greek word for judgement. When the media broadcast the headline "Environmental Crisis" they are declaring to the world a truth greater than we realise. We are reaping what we sow. This is the crisis, the judgement: "Do not be deceived" wrote Paul "God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow" (Galatians 5).
It is in the context of judgement that we come to our next passage in which we find Jesus speaking of himself as "Son of Man" and in the same breath talking about the earth. Matthew 12 40 ff:
"For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a sea monster, so for three days and three nights the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth". This reference to his death and burial yield many possible comparisons with Jonah's experience. For the purpose of this paper I confine myself to the significance of laying the Son of Man, Son of Adam, ("hewn from the earth") "in the heart of the earth" by simply posing the question "What happened to the earth when he died". The earth quaked (Matthew 27 v51). What happened when God raised him from the earth? The earth quaked again (Matthew 28 v2). Prior to placing him in the earth and when raising him from the earth there were great earthquakes.
I have to confess that when preaching about the crucifixion I have seldom spoken of the earthquake preferring to concentrate on that other phenomenon, the tearing of the temple curtain from top to bottom. I have overlooked that in the passion narrative the Earth speaks as powerfully as the Curtain. As the Son of the One hewn from the Earth is laid in the heart of the Earth there is a seismic response from the Earth's heart to his death and resurrection. Is this a voice in the chorus of the collective groaning of the whole of creation which Paul writes about in Romans 8 v22? The Earth, God's creation, longing for liberation from the curse in Genesis and somehow knowing that its own freedom "from the bondage of decay" is extricably bound up with "the children of God" and "their redemption" and "their freedom" and that comes about through the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus "who has set us free" and in whom there is "now no condemnation" (Romans 8)
Staying with the motif of judgement it cannot escape consideration that Jonah's sojourn in the belly of a whale was a direct result of his disobedience and his determination "to flee from the presence of the Lord" (Jonah 1 v9). Like Adam with Eve who first "hid themselves from the presence of the Lord" (Genesis 3 v9) after the fateful act of disobedience when they ate off the tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden, so Jonah found himself under the judgement of God. The judgement on Adam was to "return to the earth, and to the dust you shall return" (Genesis 3 v19). When, therefore, Jesus says that the Son of Adam will like Jonah, judged in the belly of a whale, be laid in the heart of the earth are there echoes here of the judgement of the first Adam who was sentenced to return to the earth? The second Adam, the Son of Man, retraces the steps of the first Adam and tastes vicariously the wages of sin, not just death, exclusion from the presence of God, but the return to earth from whence the human family came. The question is therefore raised: As the Son of Man is laid in the heart of the earth after the manner of Adam and Jonah is there a nuance here of God's judgement being visited on Jesus vicariously as he takes upon him the sins of the cosmos that desecrate the earth?
Whatever construction is to be put on the story the truth is that the earth did not stay silent as it witnessed the Son of Man's death and resurrection. There are two other instances of earthquakes in the Gospel of Matthew. The first is in the catalogue of cataclysmic events that will preface "the birthpangs" of the end of the age (Matthew 24 v3,8). "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: all this is but the beginning of the birthpangs (Matthew 24 v 7,8)
The language of labour pains in the Gospel here is of a piece with the word and image that Paul used in Romans 8v22 of the whole of creation being in labour. The earth quakes as the whole of creation goes into labour to give birth to the reality of the New Earth and the New Heaven as prophesised in Isaiah 65. Central to these eschatological events on earth according to Jesus in the same chapter in Matthew is none other than "the Son of Man" (Matthew 24 v27-31). Without at this stage attempting an exegesis of this apocalyptic passage the point to make is that Jesus, the Son of Man, seems especially conscious of his relationship with the earth and the earth seems vigorously vocal as the mission of the Son of Man unfolds. Indeed, in an earlier chapter Matthew 19 v28 Jesus sees the "Son of Man" as central to "the renewal of all things", the word is palingenesis - literally "the birth again of all things". 'Jesus said to them "Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man is seated on the throne of Glory you who have followed me ....... will inherit eternal life".
The fourth and first earthquake in Matthew's Gospel is hidden from view by the way it is translated. It is in Matthew 8. Jesus, has spoken poignantly of how he the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head. The foxes have holes (in the earth) and the birds of Heaven their nests but he is pillowless. Getting into a boat on the Sea of Galilee he falls asleep. And the earth then quakes. The episode of Jesus stilling the storm (seismos) ends with the disciples asking the question "What sort of man is this?" The earth that gave birth to Adam now raises the question as to the identity of Jesus, the Son of Adam, at the outset of his mission.
And what is that mission? To do God's will on earth as it is done in Heaven. His prayer and ours. His mission and ours. The earthing of Heaven. The Missio Dei. The Mission of God. No wonder the earth quakes as that mission unfolds through the unique ministry of the Son of Adam, the one hewn from the earth itself.
Turning to the Gospel of John we are arrested by the declaration: "All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being". This is a confessional statement about the Word who is Jesus. This is echoed through the primary chapters of Colossians, Ephesians and Hebrews. Colossians 1 v16 "For in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible......... all things have been created through him and for him". Never has so much theology hung on two such small prepositions.
It is these credal statements that lead to a high view of creation. It is the gift of Christ. Respect for and reverence of the earth follows as it does for the whole of the created order contained in that small "all". This distinctively Christian insight ought to shape and form a Christian's attitude to the environment. Creation does not exist for the human family but for Christ. The earth is here for us to delight in, to manage, to serve but its centre is inhabited by Christ alone and not us. It is a blasphemy to usurp Christ's place. When critics of Christian attitudes to the environment such as Lyn White have lambasted us for elevating ourselves over the rest of creation and exploiting it by our own devices for our own desires they have been right to challenge such anthropocentrism. The Bible dethrones such ambitions and affirms the centrality of Christ not just to salvation but also to creation.
In John 12 we read "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth will draw all people/all things to myself. He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die. The crowd answered ........ "How can you say the Son of Man must be lifted up?"
Here again the Son of Man is found in the same context as the earth and is cast again in the role of the one who will draw all to himself. Echoes again of Colossians: "And through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven by making peace through the blood of his cross". The Son of Man's mission is one of connectedness with the earth. Jesus self consciously sees himself on a mission through which he should lose nothing of what has been given to him. "I have come down from heaven (to earth?) not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me" (John 6 v39). Jesus has the whole cosmos in his sights, not just individual souls who want to escape earth and bag a place elsewhere. The earth is within the cosmos.
Jesus had a high view of the earth even though he fully recognised that it was blighted by the curse of human sinfulness. In Matthew 5 he tells his followers "But I say to you, do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool". The latter image might suggest something demeaning, a picture of God Atlas-like with fist-on-forehead, knee-bent and trampling earth beneath his foot. Nothing could be further from the truth. "Footstool" was far from a demeaning image. It was the word used to describe the Ark of the Covenant (1 Chronicles 28 v2) "I had planned to build a house of rest for the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, for the footstool of our God".
The footstool is God's touching place, where his presence is found. Isaiah says:
Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool ... ... all these things my hand has made And so all these things are mine. Isaiah 66 vv 1,2
Herein lies the sacredness of the earth and the theological truth upon which Christians form an ethic about the earth. The reason we respect, cherish and revere the earth is precisely because it is God's footstool, his resting place. This comes through in Jesus understanding in Matthew 10.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the earth Apart from your Father.
This verse shows the universal care of God. In many translations "knowledge" "knowing or "will" are added to "Father". But in the original it is simply "without your Father". Jesus shows God connected with the earth, Emmanuel, God with us.
Even though the earth is cursed by human sinfulness and bears all the wounds of exploitation and abuse it is nevertheless originally good and graced by the presence of God. So what is the future of the earth?
The New Testament uses ambiguous language when painting pictures of the earth's future, language of continuity and discontinuity. For a full debate Tom Wright's new book on the Resurrection and John Polkinghorne's "The God of Hope and the End of the World" give a full guide.
I side with those who believe that there will be a continuity between the earth as we now know it "and the New Heaven and the New Earth" featured in Isaiah 65 and Revelation. The vivid language used to describe the future and in particular the Return of Christ suggest for the future a time of crisis as the earth gives birth to a new and transformed earth.
The connectedness of Jesus to the earth throws new light on the Lord's Prayer for his "will to be done on earth as it is in heaven".
The implications of the prayer are personal, parochial and political.
The petition of the doing of God's will on earth as it is done in heaven which parallels the prayer for the coming of the Kingdom provides us with a phrase for the mission of God: the earthing of Heaven. World mission is the earthing of heaven globally; local mission is the earthing of Heaven locally.

Mommy girls can't like Ninja Turtles
Yes this was my son when we were at the store tonight looking for birthday present for one of my daughters friends. She is in love with the ninja turtles she has shoes, backpack, lunch box, shirts, etc.
I asked him why he thought it was not for girls, and he said because they are not pink.
I knew the time would come when I would have to have the talk with him. I knew as soon as he started school this would happen. I was....prepared.
I brought out the pictures of him at 1 wearing my moms purse on his shoulder and my winter boots. ;)
How do you handle situations like this?
I would have responded...but Donatello is purple! LOL!
Seriously though ... I would have talked to him about everyone being different and that boys and girls can like the same things if they want!
Seriously though ... I would have talked to him about everyone being different and that boys and girls can like the same things if they want!
My husband had a nice long talk to him when we got home lol Not sure what he said but he was finally fine with his little sister playing with his hot wheels....as long as she didn't try and feed them at the table.
Too cute! ;)

Monitoring invasive species in our area
Three Bays Preservation and Nantucket Soundkeepers have joined forces in the past to monitor for marine aquatic invasive species that have moved into our coastal waters. Unfortunately, Nantucket Soundkeepers is no longer in existence, but Three Bays Preservation made the decision to continue with the program alone. As part of the Aquatic Invasive Species Program devised by the Office of Coastal Zone Management for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Three Bays Preservation is actively monitoring several areas in the Marstons Mills River watershed.
Biological invasions have emerged as one of the leading environmental threats to our coastal and marine habitats. Marine biological invaders are species that have been moved beyond their natural geographic range by human activities. While human-mediated activities have redistributed organisms around the world for centuries, the number of species being relocated and released by transport methods or vectors continues at an unprecedented rate (Carlton 1989).
These introduced species are called by many names: non-native, non-indigenous, introduced, alien, or exotic. When an introduced species has the ability to reproduce in large numbers and to out-compete native species for food and space, they can offset the natural ecological balance. With nothing to keep non-indigenous species in check, these invaders can have damaging affects on their new environments. They can become invasive or nuisance species.
Invasive species are considered second only to human development in causing declines in the total number of species in the U.S. and worldwide, and millions of dollars are spent in control efforts. However, not all non-natives become invasive or destructive. Predicting when or how an introduced species will affect its new environment can be difficult. This is why it is so important that we work to reduce the spread of introduced species before they become invasive.
We have included "Guide to Marine Invaders" cards to help everyone identify any of these invaders. There are cards on 13 known invaders and 7 potential invaders (these are species that have been spotted in neighboring coastal areas). If you happen to see any of these species, please feel free to notify us and we will confirm the sightings and report them to the Mass CZM office.
For further information on Marine Aquatic Invasive Species, please visit Salem Sound Coastwatch or the Office of Coastal Zone Management.

Raavan's audio launch set for 24 April
MUMBAI: A R Rahman fans have a reason to rejoice since the music of his much awaited film Raavan is set to release on 24 April by the music giant T-Series.
Confirming the launch T-Series' president- marketing media publishing (TV) Vinod Bhanushali said, "The movie has the magical combination of A R Rahman and Mani Ratnam. It is also Mani sir's first project with us and we are going to promote it through every possible medium."
He further added, "The teaser of the movie will hit the tube from tomorrow and radio will air the songs from 23. On 24 the music will be unveiled at an event and it will hit the stores worldwide on the very same day. We are very confident about the music of the film."
The Tamil and Telugu trailers of the film will be released close to the film's music release.
The music label has also acquired the music rights of Priyadarshan's 'Bum Bum Bole' starring child actor Darsheel Safary. "We are still in the midst of planning the promotional strategy of the film." The name of the music director for the film is a mystery since the promotions don't mention the name and the label also couldn't reveal it.

Homestead Councilman Jimmie Williams Blew $250,000 From His Developer Buddy On a Failed Fried Fish Stand
Last year, Homestead City Councilman Rev. Jimmie Williams III wanted to open his own fried fish restaurant. So he
turned to a generous land owner who helped him and three other
candidates, including current Mayor Steve Bateman, win in 2009. Real
estate developer Wayne Rosen -- who bankrolled a political action
committee that paid for mailers, media ads, and get-out-the-vote
services for his slate - gave Williams a $250,000 promissory note
to open a Snapper's Fast Food restaurant on Ives Dairy Road.
But the fried fish joint closed its doors six months after opening. Yet a recently closed probe by ethics investigators has found that Williams did not commit any wrongdoing by taking the loan, even though the councilman didn't pay back the cash and Rosen made no attempt to collect the debt.
However, investigator Karl Ross notes in a close-out memo that the business arrangement "seems inappropriate" and suggests that Williams violated state dislcosure laws by failing to list his debt to Rosen, who was only entitled to $46,875 since he also owned a 37.5 interest in the venture.
Williams subsequently amended his financial disclosure form to reflect the money owed to Rosen. Ross's year-long investigation did not find proof that Williams exploited his position by voting on any matters that came before the city council that pertained to Rosen. In fact, the councilman abstained from voting on anything related to Rosen.

Williams and his benefactor blamed the restaurant's failure on their third partnter, Rashid Keblawe, who owns several Snapper's franchises. Williams told the ethics commission investigator that Keblawe did not provide him and his family with the proper training to run the restaurant. Keblawe countered that Williams' relatives would not listen to his instructions. The Snapper's folded at the end of December of 2011.
It had opened last June, shortly after the county mayoral run-off between Carlos Gimenez. New Times columnist Luther Campbell alleged the Snapper's was also the site of a late night meeting that included Gimenez, Williams, and Rosen. After Gimenez left, Campbell claims that Williams offered him $40,000 to make an appearance at the grand opening of the restaurant.
Campbell accused Williams of trying to buy him off to endorse Gimenez. (Williams didn't return calls to respond to that claim.) Instead, the former 2 Live Crew front man endorsed Robaina, who lost the run-off.

It's been building since season two's amazing(and still best)season finale, "The Day Is Done". Madison comes to Andy and tells him that she is pregnant. And of course, it is most definitley Ephram's baby. Andy delivered the shocking surprise when he tells her that Ephram is not to know about this, and sends her away. And now, all season long it has been laying low. Simmering below the surface just waiting for the big eruption. And here it is. The few episodes leading up to this one("Surprise" and "A Mountain Town") were brilliant and mesmerizing, but this is the one that everyone has been waiting to see. What makes this episode sad is not just what Ephram learns and starts to go through. It's that he and Andy were really starting to connect and grow close. At the end of "A Mountain Town", on top of the building before Ephram went off to meet Madison, the two talked and it really seemed that, three seasons in the making, the two were really becoming father and son. That everything Andy went to Everwood for in the first place and wanted was happening. They were becoming a real family. And now this. It just makes it all the more sadder. But the father/son thing does not begin and end with Andy and Ephram in this episode. The father/son relationship weaves through the entire episode with Harold and Bright and a man who comes to Harold and Jake with his incredibly hurt son. One relationship is being torn apart, another is ending, and another is getting closer. It was a wonderfully written episode, and the father/son relationships in this episode were wonderfully woven together. So, what exactly happened you ask?...
As we saw in last week's episode, Andy and Ephram go to New York City for Ephram's big Julliard audition. Andy goes since Amy told Ephram that it should be Andy who goes with him instead of her. While in the city, the two run into Madison. Surprise!. We know that Andy and Madison have talked, and he tells her to tell Ephram everything. And now Ephram is off to meet his former love for coffee before his big audition. The episode before ended in a bittersweet way, and seeing Ephram going into the coffee house with no idea of what awaits him, well, it just makes your stomach sink. The second Ephram walks into that door, it's all over. Everything will change, and the life and relationships he had before will forever be different. He meets up with Madison and it's all sweet and wonderful at the start. A little catching up. Before he walks in, Madison was about to leave. You yelled at your screen to leave and everything will be okay, but it won't be. But would everything be okay?. Would you really want her to of left and Ephram to continue being in the dark?. Or would you want him to know that he has baby?. And as we learn, it's a baby boy. Madison drops the bombshell, but leaves out Andy in the whole thing. The acting between Gregory Smith and Sarah Lancaster was amazing. Say what you will about Madison, but Sarah did an absolutely brilliant job of playing Madison and telling him the news and breaking down. If there was any justice, she would get a Guest Actress Emmy nomination. Smith was perfect as well. Any actor could of so easily of whooped it up and just gone overboard with it. But we know Smith. We know it will be on a smaller scale, and that much more thought provoking and heart tugging. Many people had problems with Ephram in the episodes after this one, but at this moment you really feel for him. He's had a number of things happen to him, and now this. The following scene with Andy when Andy lets Ephram know that he was involved and what he did was even more powerful. Treat Williams has had many moments where he should of been nominated for an Emmy, and this is another one. The blow up between the two in the hotel room was powerful and you don't want to see it happen. How can it continue after this?. What will happen?. How can anything ever be the same again?. Sadly, I don't think it can be the same. Because of all this, Ephram doesn't go to his audition and he misses his chance at Julliard. You understand what Ephram must be feeling, but you want to scream at him to make something out of this and do the audition and not throw everything away. And what about Madison?. She knew he had his big audition, and she decides to lay it on him right before?. Did she even stop to think of what could happen?. Couldn't she of waited until after?. The whole storyline was brilliantly written, directed, and just magnificently acted. Only time will tell where it all goes. And knowing this show, it will be brilliant and better than most everything else out there.
A tragic accident brings Harold and Bright a bit closer. Harold goes to Jake's to collect the rent, when a man barges in carrying his son. They were out hunting and the son was accidentally shot. Harold and Jake scramble to work on the kid, and it isn't looking very good. Once the boy is transfered to the hospital, Harold and the boys' father start talking. The man is adamant that he will do anything in his power to help save his son. Thanks to a conversation with Bright, Harold questions the man's story and learns that everything may not of happened the way the man said it did. Either way, it's a sad and tragic tale for one father and son, but a glimmer of sunlight for another. Bright has been looking to move out and get his own place, and Harold has pretty much been ready for Bright to do just that. But the incident with the man and his son has started some talked between the two. Bright thinks what his dad is cool and in the end says that maybe he will become an EMT. It's obvious that this pleases Harold, and when Bright continues to talk of looking for a place and moving out, Harold no longer seems to feel that there is any rush. It was a sweet and tender moment between the two. Because of what ultimately happened between the man and his son who was shot, Harold realized that anything can happen. Someone can be taken away from you, and what if that boy had been Bright?. Harold realizes that time is precious, and this tragic accident has made him realize that he has a son. He still has Bright and that poor man no longer has his son. Overall, this was a dramatic and sad storyline, with a light at the end of the tunnel. Chris Penn(Sean's brother)did a good job as the father as well.
Amy. Amy has sure had her relationship problems, hasn't she?. First Colin, then Tommy, and the whole Ephram thing. She knows about Madison and the baby and that Ephram is meeting up with her in New York. Amy just sits and wonders what will happen and what will become of her relationship with Ephram when he gets back home. Will Madison have the baby with her when they meet?. Will she tell him?. What will Ephram be like?. What will become of them?. Amy wonders and upsets herself, but it's mama Rose who gets through to her. This was a minor storyline to the two big other ones, but it was just as nicely written and acted.
"Fate Accomplis" is a wonderful and brilliant episode of the show. It's the kind of episode that makes Everwood Everwood. Smart writing, brilliant direction, incredible and compelling drama, and Emmy worthing acting. This is a classic. No doubt about it.

I'm not one of the developers, but I would think you'd leave that out for an in-app error page that didn't invalidate the session. So that makes sense.

Kourou, French Guiana (SPX) May 01, 2012
A satellite manufacturer's program milestone and an expression of hope for a country in recovery following its natural disaster are represented with words and symbolic logos on the payload fairing for Arianespace's next Ariane 5 mission from French Guiana.
This upcoming launch, scheduled for May 15, will carry JCSAT-13 for SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation of Japan, along with VINASAT-2 to be operated by the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group.
As with all Ariane flights, the payload fairing - which protects the mission's passengers during ascent through the denser atmospheric layers - are made available for logos, country flags and other symbols that represent the customers and their satellites.
The fairing is jettisoned approximately three minutes after an Ariane 5's liftoff.
For the upcoming mission, both satellites were produced by the same manufacturer - Lockheed Martin - and are based on the company's A2100 spacecraft series. These are its 100th and 101st commercial geostationary communications satellites; an achievement that is marked by appropriate wording on a lower segment of the Ariane 5's fairing.
Lockheed Martin's first commercial geostationary satellite was launched in December 1975, and its spacecraft have provided customers with nearly 1,000 years of operational service since then.
To date, 41 Lockheed Martin-built platforms have been launched by Arianespace - with the most recent being BSAT-3c/JCSAT-110R, lofted on an Ariane 5 mission performed last August.
Located on the launcher's main fairing section is a "Hope for Japan" logo from SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation.
The company said this represents not only its wishes for a recovery of the Tohoku-area that was hit by the 2011 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and tsunami, but also the hope for the future of Japan and Japanese people throughout the global community.
As part of the logo, the Japanese words: "Hold our hearts together" are included on the red disk that represents the sun on Japan's national flag. According to SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation, this message extends to all people in Japan, as well as the entire world population.
"We hope you will remember that there are still so many victims who need assistance, and we, as a Japanese company, appreciate continuous understanding and aid for such areas and victims from the international society," the corporation said.

text: NFL Week 14: Favorites & Underdogs Battle to a Draw By SBR Monday, December 12, 2016 Share with: It was a mixed day for favorites and underdogs in week 14 NFL with favorites going 7 of 14. While some reliable public sides cashed with relative ease, five of seven underdogs also won outright. The betting data cited below is powered by the NFL betting odds grid at Sportsbook Review. Notable Covers 58% of players were on the Steelers and company to cover the spread on the road against the Buffalo Bills. The closing line was -1, down two points from the opener, as many SBR Forum bettors expressed skepticism that the Steelers would walk through the Bills on the road, but the Steelers won without too much trouble 27-20 for a comfortable cover. The Redskins were -2 point favorites on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles and although they trailed 13-7 in the first half, the Redskins, led by Kirk Cousins, pulled away in the second half with a 27-22 road win. Notable Upsets The Green Bay Packers were underdogs at home against the Seattle Seahawks and when the line closed had received just 45% wagering support. The Packers led throughout and blew out the Seahawks 38-10, picking Russel Wilson off five times en route to a victory that is likely to bring their Super Bowl winning odds back down to reality. The Packers shot up to over 35-1 when it looked like the book was closed on their 2016 campaign. The Cowboys have looked unstoppable for much of the 2016 season but the NY Giants had their number for the second time this season and pulled out an ugly 10-7 victory at home, covering their +3.5 spread. 52% of players were on the Cowboys according to the closing wagering percentage.

Over in the American League, we're hearing the safe refrain we did last year: "Trout or Cabrera?" Miguel Cabrera's actually having a better year than he did last season when he won the AL's Triple Crown, but Mike Trout's also improved on his 2012. But with each team in completely different places in the standings, and Cabrera's overall offensive numbers dwarfing Trout's this year, there's probably not going to be a ton of debate, even if Cabrera doesn't reach the lofty Triple Crown perch again.
But in the National League, things are much more murky. Our midseason winner last month was Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, who hasn't played in two weeks thanks to a knee injury. A down month of July prior to the injury also brought the field back to Molina, and in advance of his return to the St Louis lineup, he doesn't appear to be the man on top anymore.
Who *is* the leading candidate for the NL MVP award with a month and a half of play left? In my mind, the favorite has to be Andrew McCutchen of the Pirates.
Just look at what McCutchen is doing this year, and try not to be amazed. His numbers have dropped a bit from last season, but he's still hitting .313/.386/.507 with 16 homers and 24 stolen bases in 30 attempts. He's also an excellent defender in center field for the Pirates, and perhaps most importantly in the minds of voters, he plays for a winning team. If Pittsburgh was 12 games under .500 instead of 23 games over, would anyone really care about the season he's having?
Probably not, and that's what's helping to set McCutchen apart from the rest of the National League. McCutchen's 5.7 fWAR is tied for the NL lead with David Wright and Carlos Gomez, both of whom play for bad teams in the Mets and Brewers respectively. Of the players ahead of McCutchen in wRC+ and wOBA, only two play for .500 clubs: Joey Votto of the Reds and Paul Goldschmidt of the Diamondbacks. The brilliance of both players is understated, but they've been losing some ink lately to another NL first baseman: Freddie Freeman.
Calling Freeman an MVP candidate is a bit of a flawed premise. After all, he's not even the most valuable first baseman in the league, with both Votto and Goldschmidt having better numbers across the board. But Freeman is getting support this year because "he's the best player on the best team", and that's a narrative that people eat up by the bucket load. Freeman's abilities have indeed taken a step forward this year, but you can't make a case for him without boosting someone else's stock. Among NL first baseman, Votto and Allen Craig have a higher batting average, Votto has a higher OBP, and Goldschmidt and Votto both have a higher slugging percentage. Even if you want to hop on the RBI train, Goldschmidt and Craig have him bested there. As for the best player on his team argument, it certainly has merit, but it's not a situation like Trout in Anaheim. Freeman's 2.9 fWAR is at the top of a cluster of five players within half a win of each other. The only slash stat he leads the team in his OBP. He's fifth on his club on homers. The only stat he leads the Braves in his RBI, and that's an argument that no one with half a brain would rely on.
A similar situation is taking hold in Los Angeles, where the team's two best hitters (Hanley Ramirez and Yasiel Puig) have combined for fewer plate appearances than Adrian Gonzalez, their third best hitter. Hell, the Dodgers' best player is probably Clayton Kershaw, and he might not even win the Cy Young thanks to the brilliant season that Matt Harvey is putting together.
The only player that really checks all of the boxes on the hypothetical MVP resume is McCutchen. He's a five tool player having a magnificent year for a contender as the best player on his team and the best player at his position in the league. There's still plenty of baseball left, and someone can definitely step up and distance themselves from the pack. After all, it was a .385/.456/.646 second half last year that propelled Buster Posey to the MVP. Maybe it'll take a second half like that from a player to win the NL MVP this year.
In the second half thusfar this year, Andrew McCutchen is hitting .357/.427/.655. No player on a contender is within 30 points of wOBA of him. The player creating distance from the pack is the one that's already the favorite.

"We'll have that done on our trip to Arizona (9/16)," Montgomery said. "There are one or two schools where he's not sure. We'll definitely have that done on our 4 ½ ride out to Arizona."
Thus far, only Arizona and most recently Duke have been able to land visits. "Something is being tentatively set up for Duke at the end of September (9/30)," Montgomery said. "We're in the process of setting it up now. They ran the dates by me and I have to get back with them. Those are the only two that have been set up as of now."
Thomas, Scout.com's No. 19 prospect out of St. Benedict's in Jersey, has a list that includes Duke, Arizona, Georgia Tech, Connecticut, Florida, Rutgers, Villanova and St. John's. North Carolina is on the list and came on during the end of the period in July but doesn't seem to have made quite the push, at least not yet.
Montgomery said unofficial visits to Georgia Tech, UConn and Florida are likely to take place.
"Going out to Georgia Tech, he prefers to visit a lot of these schools during the basketball season," Montgomery said. "He wants to take in a game during the season. Going out now doesn't really fulfill what he wants to fulfill. He wants to do that now and then go back again."
By taking unofficial visits and slowly working in his official visits, this situation appears to be a recruitment that will take time to sort out. Montgomery agrees.
"I personally think that he's not going to sign until the late signing period. Once he goes out and starts taking visits, I think that'll help him out a lot. Plus, we'll see how some of the teams do during the course of the season. It'll give him a better assessment."
Expect Thomas and Co. to visit Arizona this weekend and trim his list to about six schools by mid week next week.

XD All of these fun fandoms!
Subaru's magic and Seishirou's magic are about the same. Onmouji use the principle of yin-and-yang to perform their rituals and spells. There are two types of onmouji, the 'white' onmouji like Subaru who primarily use yang-type magic and that sort, and 'black' onmouji like Seishirou and primarily use yin-type magic. For example, blood curses or spells are usually (or always, forgot...) yin magic because one has to use both spiritual magic AND blood, which is life's liquid (which is dangerous and causes MAJOR magical backlash), so you mainly only see Seishirou use blood-magic.
Ok, I'm rambling, and it's been awhile since I've read Tokyo Babylon or X/19, so if any of the information is of, I'm sorry! ;-;
Update soon please~! XD

Cisgenderism is a prejudice similar to racism and sexism. It denies, ignores, denigrates, or stigmatizes non-cisgender forms of expression, sexual activity, behavior, relationship, or community. Cisgenderism exists in everyone — transgender individuals as well as cisgender individuals alike — because almost everyone is brought up in a predominately cisgender society that has little or no positive recognition of non-cisgender behavior, identity and/or experience.
The boss was accused of cisgenderism when he fired a transgender employee because he felt the transgender worker would be a distraction to other employees.

After a string of games in which the New York Jets alternated wins and losses, Gang Green now finds itself in the midst of a three game losing streak. The Jets most recent 23-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins this past Sunday brings their record down to 5-7 and their hopes of playing January football are starting to fade. Wide receiver Santonio Holmes expressed his disgust with the way his team has been playing over the losing streak.
"We lost," said Holmes bluntly. "It's a tough loss to a divisional opponent. We needed this win to stay in the playoff hunt. Right now, we have to go back to the drawing board."
The loss to Miami marks the fourth time this year the Jets have lost by at least 20 points. This is now the second week in a row where the Jets have mustered only three points on the scoreboard. With the entire offense struggling, rookie quarterback Geno Smith has been benched for two consecutive weeks and now has thrown 11 interceptions to one touchdown over his last six games.
The receiving corps has largely fallen in production as well. Stephen Hill has only one game in which he surpassed 100 yards receiving and only recorded one reception in the game against the Dolphins. On the other side of the field, Holmes has not fared any better in the passing game. Holmes has been hindered by lingering pain from his heel injury and played in just two snaps against Miami. Rex Ryan and Marty Mornhinweg based their decision to limit Holmes on wanting him to be in top shape for the remainder of the season.
"It was coach's decision," reiterated Holmes. "I had limited plays coming off an injury. We wanted to monitor that and make sure everything is ok for the rest of the season."
Holmes has been on a steady decline in production ever since joining the Jets four years ago. He enjoyed a 700 yard campaign in his first year in New York but he has never reached the totals that he did during his tenure in Pittsburgh. Holmes has only recorded one touchdown this season and he knows that he will have to do better in order for the Jets to turn around their recent struggles.
"We pride ourselves on scoring touchdowns," said the former Super Bowl MVP. "In the beginning of the season we were in the top five or top 10 throughout the first part of the season, and suddenly (we) have a big drop off. We definitely have to get back to the drawing board and figure out how we (get) keep this thing rolling."

Shots fired!
There was one storyline, and one storyline alone, heading into today's second round of SEC Media Days. All of the anticipation this morning revolved around Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and how he would address his off-the-field situations. Early this morning, that was indeed taken care of and that was supposed to be the majority of our extensive excitement for the day.
Well, that was the case until microphones were put in front of the mouths of two of the newest additions to the SEC head coaching fraternity, Arkansas Razorbacks head coach Bret Bielema and Auburn Tigers head coach Gus Malzahn.
It's no well-kept secret that Bielema is not the biggest supporter of the fast-paced offenses that have taken over the game of football in recent years. He built his powerhouses at Wisconsin with freight train-sized lineman and smash mouth running backs. His teams line up and hit you right in the mouth, and this is exactly the philosophy he intends to bring to his new job.
Malzahn, on the other hand, wants to spread his offense and run you right off the field, broken down and gassed.
On Wednesday, these two philosophies clashed and a new SEC rivalry may have come out of it.
In defense of his stance against the hurry-up offenses, Bielema has, on more than one occasion, cited that it may be unsafe. Whether this is true or not hasn't been proven. But, when Malzahn was asked about that matter, he made it known that he assumed that Bielema was "joking." He then continued to lay out his offensive plans to the media as he tries to rebuild the Auburn program, which is just a few years removed from winning a national championship.
Just a little while ago as Bielema took to the stage, he was immediately asked about Malzahn's assumptions that his safety concerns were a joke and responded with, "I'm not a comedian." and "We play American football."
And just like that, no matter how much the two may downplay it, we have a little rivalry brewing on our hands.
Oh, and if you were wondering whether or not these two see each other this year, I highly suggest marking down Nov. 2 on your calendars, because that's exactly when these teams meet each other on the field in 2013 in Fayetteville.
