NEW YORK, Tuesday—Last evening I attended what was, I think, a very significant occasion. The National Achievement Award, sponsored by Chi Omega and given to some woman every year for distinguished achievement, was presented to Lady Reading of Great Britain.
The award is usually given to an American woman, since the purpose has been to awaken the interest of college girls by bringing to their attention the success which women of this country have achieved in various fields. However, it was once given to Madame Chiang Kai-shek, who had received much of her education in this country.
This year it was decided to give it to Lady Reading for her remarkable achievement in establishing and heading the Women's Voluntary Services in Great Britain. Through this organization an astounding amount of work was accomplished during the war, some of it very dangerous, some of it dull and tedious, but all of it essential to keeping the wheels going in a sorely beset nation.
* * *
Since the war, the work of these volunteers has been needed as much as ever and, in spite of all difficulties, Lady Reading has succeeded in inspiring them to continue. She is now establishing on a commercial scale an opportunity for British women to help their country through their old-time home skills. They are making and selling vast quantities of handwork to the trade in this country—which will help to bring much-needed dollars into Great Britain.
I hope it was as pleasant to Lady Reading to hear the tributes paid her as it was to us who are her friends to listen to them. She gave a most enlightening and interesting account of her work, and I feel sure that all who attended found it an interesting evening.
After Dr. Mary Love Collins, executive chairman of the award committee, had explained the award, Mrs. Ogden Reid made a short address and introduced Robert E. Sherwood, the playwright, who recalled his first meeting with Lady Reading and praised her great ability. Sen. Wayne L. Morse of Oregon spoke briefly but eloquently on the need for the people of this country to awaken to their international responsibilities.
* * *
When I come to New York City, my days are filled but I have one haunting regret. I have to leave two disconsolate little dogs behind. I try to console myself by thinking that, like small children, they are happy once we are out of sight. But their reproachful eyes when we leave make me feel just the way my youngest child made me feel when I left him at home years ago!
I think Fala is becoming very fond of his grandson, Tamas, but it gives him infinite pleasure when Tamas, who is young and energetic, starts burrowing through the snow after a rabbit and does not return when I call. I stand and try to be persuasive because I know that, sooner or later, Tamas will be unable to proceed on his short legs and that the return trip will be a weary one. All the time I am calling him, Fala stands close to me and wags his tail, as though to say: "See, I'm here. I haven't run away"—which reminds me again of the virtue of the child who hasn't been caught stealing the jam!

Fuel Problem
I have an 88 jeep wrangler. 4.2 straight six. Been driving and fixing it for twenty years but I'm stuck. Driving the other day when I lost power and she stopped as if she was out of gas. I was not. I just replaced fuel filter, mechanical fuel pump and part of the input line. Still not getting fuel into the carb? Any thoughts?
Thanks! |
Start simple, make sure all the new parts you just installed are okay and in working order. Is it possible the line got clogged?
Yeah, Not sure. I guess Ill need to check more lines. Any tips on checking them?
rubber lines on from gastank dry rotted?
If you're not getting fuel to the carb. then you have to re-check everything that you did since it seems like the problem came after you replaced those parts. You could have a defective fuel pump, it happens. Maybe the line is the problem. Is the filter an oem type or did you replace it with something else.
No, did not replace parts until I lost the gas. Same exact problem after I replaced parts. starts for a second with gas in carb. I guess I need to check more lines. Thanks for all the thoughts here.any other miracles?
Did you put the fuel filter in the correct way?
Take off the line that goes into the fuel filter and turn the key.if gas comes out keep going foward to you find the problem.good point about making sure the you put the filter on the right way
take the main line coming from the pump, off of the filter, put it into a clear 2 liter empty bottle, and roll it over, if the pump is working correctly, it will fill that bottle in about 30 seconds. If that test is ok, then its onto the rubber line on the carb side of the filter with the same test. That eliminates the "new" parts you put on. I know when i changed my fuel pump, it had so much draw that it collapsed and cracked the rubber line back at the tank (guess it was time to change them out too). The bigger line 3/8, is the supply line at the tank, and the smaller 5/16 is the return. the 1/4 rubber line at the tank is the breather tube. Sounds like the cracked line might be your problem, since you say that its trying to start, so therefore its getting a little fuel. Like the pump is trying to work but sucking air as well as fuel. |

Our View: After failing with the Legislature, solar advocates turn to the governor. Here's why she should ignore them.
Especially with the Environmental Protection Agency now breathing down the neck of every state over carbon emissions, it makes sense for Arizona to encourage the use of its most abundant alternative energy source, solar.
That encouragement would include not raising taxes on solar-energy products. As the economists say, if you want less of something, tax it. We do not want less of solar.
OUR VIEW: Arizona's EPA tantrum didn't help
2013: Don't dim solar's bright future
But neither should we want state tax policies — including taxes on solar energy — to be dictated by the whims of the governor, which is what some solar-advocates are demanding.
A group that advocates for the residential solar industry demonstrated at the state Capitol on Wednesday, demanding that Gov. Jan Brewer order the state Department of Revenue to change a policy decision affecting customers who lease rooftop solar arrays.
A new department policy, scheduled to take effect next year, would tax leased rooftop solar. A new reading of state law, the policy views people who lease such arrays as operating the same as commercial solar-power plants, albeit on a bit of a smaller scale.
Is that a fair assessment? We're not sure it is. And a decision to raise taxes on any portion of the solar industry is counterproductive to efforts to maximize the percentage of energy produced in Arizona by alternative sources.
But that policy choice is for the Legislature to decide. And decide the lawmakers did, letting die in the recent session a bill that would have protected homeowners with leased solar arrays from the tax hike they now face.
Sorry. And better luck next time. But, as for now, the department's judgment should stand until the Legislature says otherwise. That's how these things need to work.
A wand-waving declaration by the governor is not a proper substitute for the will of the people as determined by the Legislature.
To opponents of this tax, we can only say, hone your arguments and we'll see next January. This isn't Washington, D.C.

The Associate in Arts (A.A.) and Associate in Science (A.S.) degree options described below satisfy the State University of New York's General Education requirements and are designed to prepare students for successful transfer to four-year colleges and universities. When selecting a major, students should discuss their academic and career interests and options with an academic advisor.
General Studies
The General Studies A.A. and A.S. degree options offer flexible programs of study, allowing students to explore many academic fields. Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university, but remain unclear as to their intended major, should choose one of the General Studies options. The A.A. degree broadly serves students with interests in literature, the humanities, and the social sciences, while the A.S. degree serves students whose interests lean more toward the natural sciences and/or mathematics.
Humanities and Social Sciences
These A.A. degree programs are more focused than the General Studies options and are best for students who plan to seek bachelor's degrees in fields in the humanities or the social sciences. Students should select the Humanities Option if they contemplate careers in teaching or other professions requiring a firm foundation in English and literature, philosophy, foreign languages, art, and music; if their interests lie in history, psychology, sociology, political science, government, or economics, they should choose the Social Sciences Option.
Criminal Justice Studies
The Criminal Justice Studies A.A. degree program is the choice of students who would like to pursue further study at the baccalaureate level in criminal justice or related disciplines (criminology, sociology, and public administration). The program also prepares graduates for entry-level employment in the criminal justice field, courts, and corrections. Students planning to enter the workforce after graduation generally complete an internship.
Teacher Education Transfer
The Teacher Education Transfer A.S. degree program is intended for students who plan to transfer to four-year institutions with New York State teacher-certification authority. Since transfer institutions may have differing requirements, students should plan their program of study with a transfer counselor and an academic advisor as early as possible, preferably before beginning their first semester at Delhi.
Math and Science
These A.S. degree programs are intended for students who plan to seek bachelor's degrees in fields such as mathematics or math education (Math Option), or in a science or science-related field such as environmental conservation, healthcare, or science education (Science Option). The requirements for this program are very focused and appropriate for students who are certain about their choice of a major in mathematics or the sciences.
Environmental Studies
The Environmental Studies A.S. degree program integrates rigorous training in the sciences with relevant social science courses and is designed primarily for students who plan to seek a bachelor's degree in the environmental or biological sciences. SUNY Delhi's location in New York City's Catskill Watershed provides students with a unique instructional setting and the opportunity for significant hands-on experience.
Individual Studies
The Individual Studies A.A.S. degree program allows students to customize a program of study from a mixture of Delhi's academic programs. The Individual Studies degree is intended to lead to entry into a career or to a specific path of further academic study. The Individual Studies curriculum may not satisfy the SUNY General Education requirements, which may limit students' transfer options and/or prevent a student from matriculating as a junior. It is not, therefore, the best program for students intending to transfer to a four-year college or university
Students who are uncertain of their career and/or academic goals or who were not initially admitted into one of Delhi's other academic programs may elect the Undeclared Option. The Undeclared option is not a major. Rather, it allows students to work closely with their academic advisors to identify their goals, sample Delhi's curricula, and prepare for a successful transfer to their major of choice. A student in the Undeclared option is required to select a major within one year or the completion of 30-32 credit hours of course work.

Wong Laboratory
- Project Summaries
- The implication of circulating bone marrow-derived stem cells and cell fusion on intestinal tissue regeneration and tumorigenesis
Our laboratory has shown that circulating BMDCs fuse with intestinal stem cells upon tissue injury, inclusive of intestinal inflammatory disease and intestinal carcinogenesis. We now extend these studies to identify the cellular mediators of fusion, the underlying mechanism, and the long-term fate to the cell fusion hybrids. Our studies offer an exciting alternative view of how tissue regenerates and have the potential to explain how chronic injury can lead to intestinal tumorigenesis.
- Role of Wnt signaling in regulating the intestinal stem cell niche
Temporal manipulation of the Wnt/β-catenin mediated signaling pathway using genetically engineered mice and of the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway using lentiviral mediated delivery will facilitate an understanding of how the intestinal stem cell niche is regulated during development and disease.
- Identification of markers for intestinal stem cells and intestinal cancer stem cells
The cancer stem cell theory for why many cancers recur after treatment presents a novel target for cancer therapeutics. However, the notion that cancer stem cells arise from mutations in tissue stem cells suggests that these two cell populations may share similar features and targetable epitopes. We have taken a systematic approach to defining surface antigens on these two populations by generating novel monoclonal antibodies. Our studies will establish a link between these two populations and may provide novel epitopes that are unique to the cancer stem cell that can be used for targeted therapy.

XINJIANG (Chinese Turkestan)
Probably the most intriguing concentrations of rock art will be found in Xinjiang.
Kuluktag Mountains
The central Xinjiang's mountain known as Kuluktag was investigated by F. Bergman in 1928 and written up in his "Archaeological Study of Xinjiang". In 1985, I drove from Lopnur through the Gobi for a day to the village of Xindi. We started early, the moon like an arched line, and look thinner like a brow. In the background of dark blue sky, innumerable stars vie with each other in radiating myriads of rays. It is just the plateau there have such beautiful starlit sky. Our lorry (truck) sped on along a narrow region between Kuluktag Mountains in the north and Tarim Desert in the south, by Kongqi (peacock) River. In the beginning, we saw thriving t. But gradually we entered extremely hot desert and finally our lorry sunk into the sand, and put in a tight spot. After five hours affect our lorry run again. In the late at night we arrived Xindi. This village was marked in the Map of the People's Republic of China, but its whole inhabitants just three persons now. In the noise and excitement barks they all came out to welcome us. In the next dawn from Xindi to south, three miles south of there on the left bank of the tortuous Xindi River, we came upon clusters of rock engravings at the base of a hundred-meter limestone cliff that towered over a flat stretch of ground overgrown with elms, willows and blossoming wild pomegranates where the river skirts the mountain in a broad curve.
Animals, Kuluktag Mountains, Xinjiang
Kuluktag engravings extend fifty meters in either direction, but the most important section is in the middle. In one picture here a running cameleer waves his hands above his head to rouse one of his charges from its lethargy. In another, a mounted herdsman pursues three or four horses and a flock of goats, while the sun sheds its rays over the dense foliage of two trees. This rare landscape is remarkably well balanced.
In Xinjiang, it is said that every pass in the Tianshan Mountains around Balikun in eastern Xinjiang conceals many rock art sites. In northern Xinjiang, one of the engravings discovered in a place named Honshitouquan in Emin County, describes the scene around a herdsman's tent. One mounted herds-man is driving the sheep while another is standing at the tent door. A dog is inside the tent. Analogous peaceful scenes can still be seen today in real life all over Xinjiang region.
In northern Xinjiang, the largest rock art sites are in Altai Mountains, where there are evident links with those of the Eurasian steppes. The pictures of spiral-horned deer resemble those discovered in Mongolia.
In recent years, archaeologists have found much beautiful rock art around Altai Mountains. There are many engravings in the open air and two caves with rock paintings. These precious cultural relics are attracting worldwide attentions of scholars in history, archaeology, art and ethnology.
Handprints and Animals,
Kunlunshan Mountains, Xinjiang
From many years of study, we found that so many unexplained matters in the historical studies could find their solutions in rock art, which also give us frequent revelation. They are especially helpful in our studying the life and people living on desert and prairie, who moved frequently from place to place, which resulted in the loss of material record of their history. Archaeological relics always leaves a serious limit in giving a all-side view of the human history; but the rock art can help supplement, in many ways, what is lacking. Therefore, they play an important role in the textual research of tribes, customs and religions.
Altai rock art represent a part of the chain that links the north prairie region of Europe, Asia and America. They are closely related to the neighbor districts, and at the same time, typical reflect the pre-historical life of the Altai District and the life there in the later history.
We can see Altai rock art have a rich content. The principal topic is that of the realistic life of the flock people, its environment - the trees, the grass, and the grazing land, and the animals such as elephant and kangaroo that are rarely seen in the north. Rock art such as shooting animals and herding livestock, acrobatic, dancing, worship activities, and communal marriages all vividly reflect the ancient economic and culture from different angles. The composition of the rock art has a good variety. Each is natural, vivid and full of life.
In the rock art of dancing and acrobats, they show the entertaining activities of the folks, besides as wolves chasing sheep or the wild animals on the prairie. Each engraving is so composed that one can see clearly the implied meaning: wolf and deer confronting each other in which the deer horn is exaggerated so that it stands, though physically weaker than the wolf, daring to fight against the enemy.
Xinjiang Rock Art Sites
These valuable ancient arts, as a whole, show a crystallization of the wisdom and creativity of the ancient Altai people. They once again present, in front of us the ancient life of the local people. The rock art was created by a broad variety of ethnic groups, testifying to the diverse racial make-up and the different cultural background of the inhabitants, and reveals connections with USSR, Mongolia and the Near East. Xinjiang is the most complicated region in China as far as rock art is concerned, since the dates and artist nationalities are difficult to determine. The study of the Altai rock art is only a beginning. There are still further studies in front of us. Nevertheless, it is a good beginning, there will be still more achievement that will add a brilliant page in the course of archaeology.

If you're looking for a cool little holiday gift for a cool old school friend, I'm thinking this old school jigsaw puzzle might fit the bill. As in, 33 1/2 RPM old school.
The Vinyl
Collection Puzzle by Bob's Your Uncle is so cool for the right
person; 550 pieces come together to form a photo of a huge shelf full of
LPs. Just a few of the bands I can make out from the spines include
Sonic Youth, 10,000 Maniacs, The Clash, and the Pyschedelic Furs.
Wait… I think that was my record collection. Hm. –Liz

The 2014 Cinema by the Canal summer outdoor film series continues with "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" (2012 restored 30th anniversary edition) Thursday, July 31, at Lewes Canalfront Park. This film series for all ages is sponsored by the Rehoboth Beach Film Society and Friends of Lewes Canalfront Park.
Winner of four Oscars, Steven Spielberg's "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" is a sci-fi adventure that tells of 10-year old Elliott's encounter with a friendly alien who is accidentally left on Earth when his spacecraft returns home without him. Although fearful at first, Elliott makes contact with the "squashy guy," and we watch as they develop a special bond that teaches troubled Elliott the true meaning of friendship and love. It's a movie filled with special effects, comedic romps, and let's not forget an alien so lifelike, we believe he really does exist. Said Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times, "This movie made my heart glad. It is filled with innocence, hope and good cheer. It is also wickedly funny and exciting as hell."
The film will begin at dusk (8:15 - 8:30 p.m.) at Canalfront Park, 211 Front St. in Lewes. Admission is free. Bring chairs or blankets and come enjoy a unique and fun family outdoor film experience.

It's not exactly a revelation that Fox News viewers are spectacularly ill informed about current events compared to people who watch other networks. But according to a recent report, the Fox audience knows less even than folks who don't watch any news at all.
More News
Researchers from New Jersey's Fairleigh Dickinson University asked about a thousand people five questions on domestic issues (e.g., "Which party has the most seats in the House of Representatives right now?") and five on international ones (e.g., "There have been increasing talks about economic sanctions against Iran. What are these sanctions supposed to do?").
Fox viewers scored the lowest in both categories, getting an average of 1.04 questions right on domestic issues and 1.08 on international, behind people who watch MSNBC (which, on international affairs, also lagged the non-news watchers) The Daily Show, and the Sunday talk show viewers, as well as NPR listeners – the best informed audience – and, yes, people who don't "do" news.
"We expect that watching the news should help people learn, but the most popular of the national media sources seem to be the least informative," said Dan Cassino, professor of political science at FDU and analyst for the poll.
The reaction from Fox? "Considering FDU's undergraduate school is ranked as one of the worst in the country," said a company spokesperson, "we suggest the school invest in improving its weak academic program instead of spending money on frivolous polling – their student body does not deserve to be so ill-informed."

A day after the beheading of a soldier and slitting the throat of another one by the Pak army, there was a lot of tension in villages along the Atma and Chatir posts, in Mendhar sector, where the incident had taken place.
The army has been put on alert and intensified patrolling is taking place. "The tension after such incident is quite understandable. However, they are not in a state of panic because the area witnessed heavy shelling and casualities in the past also, especially before the 2003 ceasefire agreement," sub-divisional police officer (Mendhar) Dy SP Amit Bhasin said.
According to reports, the villagers of Patri, Mankote Taui and Baluni - which are in the vicinity of the troubled spot - didn't step outside. The army is also checking the area.
According to officials, villagers fear that the situation could worsen because anger among army officials is running high. There is a feeling among the residents that India should deliver an effective response.
"It's a deliberate and heinous attempt by the Pakistan to disturb peace. It doesn't want us villagers to live in peace. India should give an effective and suitable response of this action," said Shamas din, sarpanch of Mankote village.
Many believe that the action of Pakistan's 29 Balouch regiment personnel, which is posted in front of the Indian posts, is indicative of their Talibanised mindset."Balochistan, which borders Afghanistan, is infested by Taliban members. India should not lie low. It should give an appropriate response," said Hadam Hussai, panchayat head of Balnoi village.

Nkemdiche no longer a Clemson commitment |
by David Hood - Senior Writer - 2012-11-08 14:51:47.0 |
CLEMSON – Sources have confirmed to TigerNet that Loganville (GA) Grayson defensive end Robert Nkemdiche Robert Nkemdiche However, the Tigers are going to continue to recruit Nkemdiche, and the source told TigerNet that the coaches still believe Clemson is the team to beat over Ole Miss. Nkemdiche is the 5-star defensive end prospect that is considered to be the nation's top recruit by most scouting services. He committed to the Tigers in June, joining Grayson teammates Wayne Gallman Wayne Gallman His recruitment has been drama-filled, however. His older brother Denzel plays at Ole Miss, and his mother has made no secret of the fact that she wants her sons at the same school. The mother is a politician in Nigeria, and recently returned home to add even more drama to the process. TigerNet learned that Clemson head coach Dabo SwinneyDabo Swinney Nkemdiche has made no secret of the fact that he wants to take all of his official visits, something Clemson's staff has frowned upon with their commitments in the past. This not only allows Nkemdiche to take his visits, but the source said might actually help Clemson in the long run. In an article written by the Gwinnet Daily Post, Grayson head coach Mickey Conn said he notified the Clemson coaches of the decision on Sunday. Conn said he expects Nkemdiche to take his time with this decision with a likely decision on National Signing Day, Feb. 6. "At this point, I think it's a family decision," Conn said. "The family's going to get together and make the best decision for Robert." Again, we want to reiterate – this appears to be a mutual decision that hopefully lessens some of the pressure Nkemdiche has been under. It will allow Clemson to continue to recruit to fill needs, while allowing Nkemdiche to finish his visits and sit down and talk with his family before making a decision. Also, the Clemson coaches feel confident at this point that the Tigers are still the team to beat.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Conformation Critique
- - Critique Possible Buy! Thanks
Critique Possible Buy! Thanks So I'm going out to check out this pony. He's 14.1 and 7 yrs old. The ad says he w/t/c jumps courses and loves trails. It says he is a sweet guy, no buck, rear or bolt. I'm just looking for something to have some fun on, maybe do some low level events, but I'm not into competing and just want a nice fun horse that I can ride around on. So if you guys could give me a critique of his conformation that would be great. Here are some of the pictures posted. http://i.imgur.com/hXRD2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7KOzt.jpg http://i.imgur.com/GSuEd.jpg And a head shot http://i.imgur.com/cUp25.jpg Thanks everyone! |
What a tidy jumper! see how nice and tucked up he is, and for such a sausage, he has some nice bascule. I really like him! he will be an easy keeper, such that you will have to work at getting and keeping off the excess weight, though. |
I agree with tinyliny. But as for his tempernment, you'll kinda have to go by what you see when you see him, not what it says in the ad.. Because he does look perfect for a horse that you just want to have some fun on :) |
Thanks a lot guys, that's great to hear. yeah I totally understand how ads can say one thing and it turns out not to be true. I'm so excited to go see him but unfortunately due to our scheduling I have to wait until the middle of next week. I'll update you all though. |
He has strong rounded hindquarters, will be good for jumping... Shoulder seems slightly upright so I would be curious to sit his trot, could be a little choppy. Good angles on his fetlocks, canons are nice and short, feet look good. Back seems average to long, so would want to watch his weight to make sure he doesn't have back problems, but he seems like a really sturdy horse so it may never be an issue. I can't tell exactly where his withers are because of his fluffy mane, but in the first photo they almost look lower than his rump, which could make it difficult for him to collect, but perhaps not. From the jumping photos he looks like an earnest, hard worker who has been taught well. Knees are high and together, and he is rounding nicely over the jumps. Will definitely get you some ribbons in hunter. Hope that helps! |

XThe excuse of being a youthful team simply doesn't apply to Tallmadge anymore.
``Its midway through the season now. You can't say you're a young team anymore,'' Tallmadge coach Joe Vassalotti said. ``Now we have to learn how to win.''
Easier said than done.
Tallmadge led Highland last week until the Hornets rattled off 24 straight points to claim the 31-23 victory.
The Blue Devils are moving forward though. Freshman Anthony Gotto has solidified the quarterback position. Gotto is advanced in terms of how he understands the game and makes good decisions, Vassalotti said.
Vassalotti also likes his poise.
Sophomore Tucker Linder was the offensive and defensive player of the week for the Blue Devils last week. He made five catches for 60 yards and a touchdown on offense and recorded two sacks on defense.

For the 4th: "A Hemisphere Where All Live in Harmony"
Posted: July 4, 2014 Filed under: Immigration, Interfaith, Music, Politics, Prayer 9 CommentsThis morning we sang this song at our interfaith vigil at the Broadview, IL immigrant detention center – a powerful reworking of "America the Beautiful" by Sister Miriam Therese Winter.
I encourage you to sing it at your 4th of July gathering today – a profoundly aspirational prayer for the America/s – "A hemisphere where all people here/all live in harmony:"
How beautiful, our spacious skies,
our amber waves of grain.
Our purple mountains as they rise
above the fruited plain.
America! America! God's gracious gifts abound.
And more and more we're grateful for
life's beauty all around.Indigenous and immigrant,
our daughters and our sons;
Oh, may we never rest content till all are truly one.
America! America! God grant that we may be
a sisterhood and brotherhood
from sea to shining sea.How beautiful, sincere lament,
the wisdom born of tears.
The courage called for to repent
the bloodshed through the years.
America! America! God grant that we may be
a nation blessed, with none oppressed,
true land of liberty.How beautiful, two continents,
and islands in the sea
That dream of peace, non-violence,
all people living free.
Americas! Americas! God grant that we may be
a hemisphere where all people here
all live in harmony.
Daniel Kahn On "Inner Emigration"
Posted: August 31, 2011 Filed under: Anti-Semitism, Holocaust, Israel, Music, Palestine, Politics 3 CommentsI've sung the praises of Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird before; my favorite "Punk Cabaret, Radical Yiddish, Gothic, American Folk, Klezmer Danse Macabre" band. Been listening a lot to their latest album, "Lost Causes" – particularly a brilliant ditty called "Inner Emigration." This song is simultaneously a meditation on identity politics, a treatise on the absurd reality of national borders, but ultimately, I think, a blistering diatribe against the way we all assent to our own inner/outer oppression. It's also catchy as hell.
Click above for a clip of Kahn performing the song solo in Tel Aviv. Click below for the lyrics. (The song is truly a text study in itself…)
Sephardic Music Fest Tunes Now Available!
Posted: October 26, 2010 Filed under: Jewish Music, Music, Sephardic Judaism Leave a commentThis is very good news:
A mix of traditional, dance, electro, hip hop, and folk songs from around the Sephardic world makes up the Sephardic Music Festival's first compilation album, set for world-wide release on November 30th…Like the Sephardic Music Festival itself, this compilation offers a taste of the amazing depth and breadth of Mizrahi and Sephardi inspiration, culture, and creativity. Album tracks incorporate Jewish liturgical and ceremonial texts, Shabbat songs, and classic love poems, as well as original compositions inspired by traditional themes. The album presents a tapestry of harmonies, rhythms, and motifs as rich, vibrant, and diverse as the Jewish world itself.
I've never been, but I've been told that the SMF is one of the most amazingly eclectic Jewish music festivals around. For a taste of just how eclectic, click above for a more traditional Sephardic experience ("Yah Ribon" with Yair Dalal on the oud) and below for something completely different: DeLeon performing "La Vida Do Por El Raki" complete with lead banjo. (You'll have to purchase the CD for the Sephardic electro and hip-hop…)
If you're in NYC from December 1-8, you should probably attend this year's festival. Click here for the schedule.
Thank God We've Still Got Pete Seeger

A Must-Have Pesach Mix Tape
Posted: March 24, 2010 Filed under: Jewish Music, Judaism, Music, Pesach, Religion 1 CommentYou need to play this at your seder.
The Idelsohn Society has released a breathtaking mix tape for Pesach, weaving together such musical liberation classics as The Kiddush (Richard Tucker), The Four Questions (Socalled), Passover Time on the Range (Moe Jaffe & Henry Tobias), Passover (Joy Division), On My Way To Canaan's Land (The Carter Family), Freedom (Charles Mingus), I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free, (Nina Simone), Where Can I Go? (Ray Charles), I'm Set Free (The Velvet Underground). Defintely something for everyone.
All who are hungry, give a listen!
(H/T to Josh Karsh for discovering this gem).
Geoff Berner's Subversive Olympics Anthem
Posted: February 12, 2010 Filed under: Music, Politics Leave a commentWarning: Deeply Dark, Black Humor Ahead…
If you're feeling less than festive about the chronic loosening of public funds that enable the media extravaganzas we call the Olympic games, then here's a song for you. Vancouver-based klezmer musician Geoff Berner has released an alternative Olympic anthem, entitled "Official Theme Song for the 2010 Vancouver/Whistler Olympic Games (The Dead Babies Were Worth It)."
Berner is a true klezmer purist, i.e., noisy, sloppy, drunken, and deliciously subversive. Here's a sample lyric:
All you terrific foreign visitors –
We're so glad that you're here,
For our eight billion dollar, two week party
That we're putting on this year.Of course the credit goes to the government;
When they approved the eight billion bucks,
They cost cut out the office that
investigates childrens' deaths.The Dead, Dead Children Were Worth it,
The Dead, Dead Children Were Worth it,
The Dead, Dead Children Were Worth it,The Vancouver/Whistler Olympic Games…

Interfaith Jamming the the Desert!
Posted: January 23, 2010 Filed under: Africa, Interfaith, Jewish Music, Music 4 CommentsJust learned that the great alt-Jewish band The Sway Machinery, recently played at "Le Festival au Désert" – an amazing international music festival held annually in the Sahara desert near Timbuktu, Mali. Apparently, SM played before a largely Muslim audience and performed with several local African musicians as well. Click above for a taste.
Koudede was followed by Sway Machinery's own set. They were strong and energetic. They brought the audience into their groove within seconds. While (band leader Jeremiah) Lockwood sang singing in Hebrew, the Muslim crowd respected the music and showed its appreciation by dancing along. Haira Arby joined the group for their final song and showed once again her mastery of music. She was immediately in the groove and brought her own authenticity to the number.
The Sway Machinery website reports:
In an unprecedented act of intercultural exchange, underground rock cult favorites and iconoclastic champions of historic Jewish music traditions, The Sway Machinery, have been invited to perform at The Festival of the Desert in Esekane, Mali, in the depths of the Sahara Desert this January. The Sway Machinery will bring its unique vision of Jewish Spiritual Music traditions to the heart of Islamic Africa, performing for an audience of thousands!
While in Mali, The Sway Machinery will record a new album, featuring collaborations with stars of the Malian music world. A documentary film about this journey is also in the making!
"The Sway Machinery Pilgrimage, as they have entitled their Africa project, is a beautiful example for the world of the great role artists can play in building bridges of love and understanding between cultures. This project is of clear importance in establishing new and positive images of Jews and Muslims engaging with each other" (Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, Chairman, Cordoba Initiative).

Written by Ken Mastro and Matt Spillane
Now that everyone in Lewisboro has power again following Hurricane Irene, residents can turn to seeking aid for damages and continuing clean-up around town.
Power was restored to everyone in town on Sunday, Sept. 4, according to NYSEG, nearly eight days after people first lost electricity in Lewisboro. Some Verizon land phone line service is still out, however, and one resident told The Ledger on Sept. 4 that Verizon officials told her it may remain out until Monday, Sept. 12.
With limited resources and manpower last week, residents and town employees worked together to make due in the storm's aftermath and get the town up and running again.
"In general, every department in this town came together," Highway Superintendent Peter Ripperger told The Ledger this week. "Our employees are our best asset."
Mr. Ripperger estimated that there was easily a minimum of 70 trees down in Lewisboro that needed to be cleaned up, and 28 sections of roads had been closed by police immediately following the storm.
"We had a lot of roads closed," Mr. Ripperger said. "We didn't have a lot of utility trucks. My men came in at 6 p.m. Saturday and left late Monday night. We're still on clean-up. The roads all did get open. The emergency system that the town of Lewisboro put into effect absolutely came together. All of our resources were strained to the max."
Westchester County has been declared a disaster area by the federal government so federal disaster assistance is available for homeowners, renters and small businesses in Lewisboro. Call the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) registration number, 1-800-621-3362, or register online.
FEMA has opened a disaster recovery center at the Westchester County Center's Little Theater. It is for helping residents and businesses to file for disaster aid. It will operate from 8 to 8, seven days a week, until further notice, and parking fees have been waived.
Governor Andrew Cuomo has asked FEMA and the Department of Agriculture for waivers that would "allow homeowners, businesses and farmers to retroactively enroll in federal flood insurance and crop insurance programs," according to a press release.
Slow response by NYSEG, town?
State Senator Greg Ball, 40th District, and Assemblyman Robert Castelli, 89th District, were both critical of NYSEG's overall response time. Mr. Castelli noted that, as of the afternoon of Aug. 30, Con Edison was able to restore power to 73% of its customers in his district while NYSEG had only restored it to 16%. Sen. Ball is calling for a state Senate hearing to investigate "the response management and communication failures and shortfalls following Hurricane Irene," according to a press release from his office.

Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out how to parse results from one form into another form. I never learned php or javascript while in school, so I'm trying to learn it now.
Specifically, what I am trying to do right now is display a list of checkboxes via html5 for the user to select, and then based on what the user selects, have that fill into another form via a string. I don't know if I should do this using php or if I could do it just using javascript. I'm not really trying to upload to a database as far as I know, but that is something that I should learn as well.
So for checkbox:
Apple = checked
Mango = checked
New Form
Fruit Selected:
My html code:
Here is a picture of what it looks like:
Again, I want the value of what is actually checked to display in a new page/form.
Thanks and sorry if I am not clear!
Results 1 to 8 of 8

You mentioned PHP, so Im assuming youre on a server running PHP and your dev environment is ready to go!
Basically, web apps send data between pages by the URL/Querystring which youll see as some_page.php?key=value (which can be done using the form method GET, or manually constructing the query string, etc.), or by a POST (like your current FORM).
Then the receiving page just needs to access those values. In PHP, this is done through the $_GET[] and $_POST[] variables.
If you POST your form, youll need to indicate the page that will handle the POST processing, so lets say the page you posted is form_main.php (or .htm since it doesnt actually contain any server script). Youll just want to change the FORM section to something like this:

Dude...Sweet! Thanks! I'm going to try this right now!
The Checkbox doesnt exist in the POST unless its checked
edit: I got the non-array examples to work! It took me about 10 minutes to realize I was trying to run the form outside of my localhost server. I was like "why is echo not working!"
I'm going to try the array next.
edit2: I got the array working correctly! The only error is that when I don't select anything in the array, it gives me an error saying "undefined index". It must not know how to handle 0 selections.
here is a screenshot of it:

[DT] or anyone else, do you know how to strip the html from a php array on the fly for use when sending an html email?
PHP Code:$N = count($ends);
echo ('
');
echo ("
Look For	");
echo ("Observed Comments
");
for($i=0; $i < $N; $i++)
echo("
");
echo($ends[$i] . "
");
echo("	");
echo (" ");
echo ('
');
echo ("
");

Yep, there's a function built right into PHP:
returns a string with the tags removed ($string is the input string).
So like:
$str = 'this is some markup
echo strip_tags($str);
Results in:
this is some markup
"Remember, you're young only once but you can be immature forever."

Thanks for the reply! I can't seem to get it to work, but I tried it in a hurry (I have softball game in a short while).
I tried this:
$message = join($_POST['group1']).join($_POST['group2']).join($_POST['group3']);
and it prints out the correct strings from my arrays in this fashion:
Code:string, string, string,etc.
Code:string string string string string string

OK, cool, I was going to mention that the underlying tag parser could/can occasionally get frazzled if the markup isn't to spec.

Real shift focus from Mourinho to the players
Real Madrid's players have begun giving regular news conferences again in a sign the club is seeking to improve its relations with the media and may want less attention focused on controversial coach Jose Mourinho.
Captain and goalkeeper Iker Casillas, forward Cristiano Ronaldo and defenders Sergio Ramos and Alvaro Arbeloa all spoke to reporters after training this week, prompting the headline "Is the iron curtain falling?" in Marca sports daily on Friday.
It is a shift away from the long-standing policy of only having Mourinho or his assistant Aitor Karanka answering questions in set-piece news conferences, apart from those at least one player is obliged to give the day before Champions League matches.
The lack of player news conferences contrasted sharply with their arch rivals Barcelona, who make team members available after nearly every training session.
Real president Florentino Perez is seen as the architect of the change after he told journalists at last month's Christmas lunch that the club's media relations needed improvement.
The construction magnate, who is up for re-election later this year, may also be concerned about the impact Mourinho's combative style is having on the club's image and is seeking to dilute his influence.
Marketing experts told Reuters last month the Portuguese's repeated accusations of refereeing bias and several episodes of unsporting behaviour had been damaging to Real's traditional image of chivalry and being 'the club for all'.
Arbeloa played down the importance of the news conferences on Friday, saying that he believed the Real fans knew the opinions of the players.
"We have a lot of matches during the year and I think that in the mixed zones almost every day we have stopped to talk, if not one player then another," the Spain international said.
"I believe that the Real fans know what their players think," he added.
"The news conferences have been decisions taken by the club and I imagine with the agreement of the coach. We are delighted to come out here and answer your questions."
A sign of how sensitive Real are about the issue was their angry reaction to a newspaper report this week that said it had commissioned a survey of members that included the question "do you think the coach's attitude is damaging to the club?"
According to the report in As sports daily, members were also asked who should replace Mourinho if he left and were given a list of alternatives that included Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez, Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti and Germany's Joachim Low.
"Real Madrid C. F. strongly denies having requested any survey of the opinions of the club's members about the coach or any member of the squad, or of any possible names of coaches or players who might join the club," Real said in a statement on their website on Thursday.
"Furthermore, it is most unlikely that any company would have access to the contact details that would be necessary to carry out a survey of the club's members, and so any sample would not be representative," the statement added.
Things have not been going smoothly for Mourinho and his side on the pitch in recent weeks and they are third in La Liga after an erratic start to their title defence.
With 17 matches played, they are seven points behind second-placed Atletico Madrid and 16 adrift of unbeaten leaders Barcelona ahead of Sunday's game at home to Real Sociedad.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's highly publicized tour in the Middle East, Asia and Europe carried with it little or no surprises. But even then, one must not altogether write off the possibility of some lessons to be learned, even if indirectly.
The Middle East leg of her journey, which lasted from June 17-20, was saturated with the same kind of duplicitous rhetoric that defined her legacy during President George W. Bush's first term in office. She verbally reprimanded and threatened Syria and Iran for not fully and unconditionally embracing democratic reforms, while expressing "encouragement" regarding the Palestinian, Iraqi and Lebanese endeavor for democracy, following the supposed democratic elections enjoyed by these countries.
However, those who are even slightly familiar with the logic of US foreign policy in the Middle East need not bother to decode Rice's rhetoric or the rhetoric of any US official when it comes to the Middle East and the United States' substantial interests there. US allies in the region – i.e. those who unreservedly labor to serve and cater to American economic, military and strategic interests – are either entirely immune to any criticism or, if criticism is inevitable, their most horrific sins are curtailed to barely warrant a few mild words of censure.
While, on the other hand, the sins of America's foes are augmented, embellished and often outright fabricated to necessitate diplomatic pressure, economic sanctions and as a "last resort," war. Iraq was an example of the latter, while Iran's current political attitude toward US interests in the region is qualifying it for the important, albeit ominous role of being the Middle East's most formidable boogeyman that, in one way or another, must be taken down.
This logic, simply put, is absurd. While there is no doubt that both Egypt and Iran are redoubtable violators of human rights, who can possibly contest that Iran, despite all its blunders, has taken more steps toward democracy than has Egypt? This is not to deny that Iran's democracy will never be complete without an open and intimidation-free electoral system, which impedes the state's meddling regarding who is qualified and who is not to run for parliament or for office, what party agenda is acceptable and what is not, and so forth. Nonetheless, civil society in Iran and the direct involvement of the populace in determining the countries' internal affairs, despite its many hindrances, is vastly more advanced than that of Egypt, where mass arrests, crackdowns, and torture are all too common.
Yet while Iran received disproportionately higher criticism than any other country during Rice's trip, Bush's closest trustee strangely declared that Egypt's "President Mubarak has unlocked the door for change," even though, ironically, the Egyptian president has reigned Egypt for 23 years and fully intends to carry out another term of authoritarian rule.
This is of course another "encouraging" sign according to the flimsy logic of the Bush Administration's newly forged doctrine on how to manage the Middle East. Washington's new style manual is based on its comprehension of two inevitable scenarios. First, there is the United Nations-sponsored Arab Human Rights Development Report of 2004, which warns that "power will be transformed through armed violence" if Arab states don't adopt serious political reforms and significantly raise the margin of freedom in their societies.
But the second scenario is equally harmful to US Middle East policy, for a genuine democracy will most likely bring to power the repressed anti-US forces dotting the Arab world. After all, opposition groups within Egypt, which are very much in favor of democracy, reforms and civil society, refused to meet with secretary Rice during her stopover in Egypt.
"We are against the US policies in the region and we cannot have any negotiations with them, and all the opposition parties in the country agree on what I'm saying," Georges Isaac, a co-founder of the Egyptian Movement for Change, known as Kefaya (Enough), told Arab News. "If we want political reform to be implemented in the country we want to do it ourselves, not to be imposed or to be even discussed with Rice."
Washington's undeclared new dogma professes a new Middle East policy that works both toward avoiding complete political meltdown, chaos and violence throughout the Arab world – evidently very harmful considering the United States' disastrous debacle in Iraq – while trying to maintain first-class rapport with friendly regimes; key phrase: managed democracy.
Managed democracy is as superficial as it is cosmetic, but it can work miracles, or so Washington believes. Not that such democracy is a new phenomenon. It was, in fact, the subject of awesome experiments immediately following the end of World War II, initiated in Europe, extending to Central America and was later utilized in Eastern Europe following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
But in my opinion, nothing shall mount to the challenge facing the US government in managing democracy in the Middle East, not only because of the formidable task of cosmetically reforming a plethora of countries all at once, but most urgently because of the zero credibility that Washington enjoys anywhere in the Arab or Muslim world.
Washington seems to be counting on the fact that the Arab peoples are so desperately fed up with their governments, that they are willing to forge alliances with whomever to get rid of these oppressive and degenerate regimes. True, but what Washington is failing to factor in is the fact that, according to common political dogmas in the Middle East, the oppressiveness of the regimes can hardly be separated from Washington's own regional designs that compelled a decades-long sinful matrimony between oppressive rulers and equally domineering American foreign policy.
Thus an American withdrawal from Iraq and an end to the unbalanced policy toward the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are often amalgamated with the Arab people's most pertinent demands for political rights, human rights and civil liberties. Perhaps Washington is too arrogant to grasp this logic; nonetheless it is prevailing and most fitting.
While Condoleezza Rice's Middle East trip appeared benign and casual, in reality it was tantamount to an official declaration of Washington's prospective Middle East approach. This approach, as I see it, is a blend between the US's traditional policies of designations – friendly allies vs. evil enemies – and carefully premeditated "democratic" reforms that uphold the status quo without tipping the political balance in favor of those critical of Washington's regional role and foreign policy. And in the Middle East, they are many.

A stitch in time saves nine
A timely effort will prevent more work later.
This is nothing to do with rips in the fabric of the space-time continuum, as some have ingeniously suggested. The meaning of this proverb is often requested at the Phrase Finder Discussion Forum, so I'll be explicit. The question usually asked is "saves nine what"? The 'stitch in time' is simply the prompt sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the hole has become larger. Clearly the first users of this expression were referring to saving nine stitches.
This little homily seems to be falling out of use - as does stitching.
This proverbial expression was obviously meant as an incentive to the lazy. It's especially gratifying that 'a stitch in time saves nine' is an anagram for 'this is meant as incentive'!
The Anglo Saxon work ethic is being called on here. Many English proverbs encourage immediate effort as superior to putting things off until later; for example, 'one year's seeds, seven year's weeds', 'procrastination is the thief of time' and 'the early bird catches the worm'.
The 'stitch in time' notion has been current in English for a very long time and is first recorded in Thomas Fuller's Gnomologia, Adagies and Proverbs, Wise Sentences and Witty Sayings, Ancient and Modern, Foreign and British, 1732:
"A Stitch in Time May save nine."
Fuller, who recorded a large number of the early proverbs in the language, wrote an explanatory preamble to this one:
"Because verses are easier got by heart, and stick faster in the memory than prose; and because ordinary people use to be much taken with the clinking of syllables; many of our proverbs are so formed, and very often put into false rhymes; as, a stitch in time, may save nine; many a little will make a mickle. This little artiface, I imagine, was contrived purposely to make the sense abide the longer in the memory, by reason of its oddness and archness."
As far as is known, the first person to state unambiguously that 'a stitch in time saves nine', rather than Fuller's less confident 'may save nine', was the English astronomer Francis Baily, in his Journal, written in 1797 and published in 1856 by Augustus De Morgan:
After a little while we acquired a method of keeping her [a boat] in the middle of the stream, by watching the moment she began to vary, and thereby verifying the vulgar proverb, '"A stitch in time saves nine."

The Wellington Division - Nessa
And done! Thank you to everyone who voted for who I should draw. For those of you who may not know who Nessa is, or perhaps have forgotten her (she's only in the comic for a short while) she first appears in the Wellington Division in this sequence. She's a sweet, sometimes petulant, stubbornly nude mermaid, and is one of several characters who befriend Tyler in Emperor Viperal's private museum.
Since I've drawn my share of mermaids, I wanted to do something different with Nessa. I thought with all her flowing hair, it would be interesting to attempt something Mucha-esque.
I would like to draw one of the male WD characters next (because I've been drawing so many girls lately), but again, I'd love your input and will draw whichever character has the most votes. So please let me know which boy, or guy, or man, or evil villain (or talking dog?) you would most like to see. :)

The Wellington Division - Those Southern Sprites
New pages are up!
This is one of those sequences I would have loved to have properly finished. There is so much going on in these roughs, finished art would have clarified the action better. If you find page 648 confusing, it is meant to be looking over the character's shoulders, down into the valley below - the reverse of the last panel on page 647.

Breaking News: Man Dies Happy BY JEFF KONKLE
Breaking News: Man Dies Happy
May 23, 2011 at 11:02 PM
Overland Park, KS - Family members and friends gathered today at 301 Farmdale Place to celebrate the life of Phillip Caylor. Caylor, aged 65, died in his mansion on Sunday night. He is survived by his wife, Beth (a Sears Catalog model) and his 12 sons (all of whom were All-State athletes in wrestling, hockey, soccer, baseball, football, and lacrosse).
Caylor led what he called "just a great life." Quickly after graduating valedictorian of James Peterson High School, he went on to study Medicine on a full scholarship to the University of Omaha. There he won the state its first national title in Gymnastics, sweeping the field with 11 perfect 10's at the 1971 NCAA Championship. After discovering a cure for Filk's Disease, he decided to leave the field of medicine and pursue a career in Rock n Roll. He started the band Lipps, INC whose song "Funkytown" peaked at number 1 on Billboard Top 100.
Riding that wave of popularity, Caylor admits having relationships with "many, many women" and "consuming many, many drugs."
He met his wife Beth at his 20-year high school reunion, where he got into a physical altercation with Bob Callen, a bully that tormented the entire school. He beat the bully senseless in front of everyone and later wrote a New York Times Best Seller about the incident entitled "Beating Your Bob: A Story of How I Met My Wife." Beth was bartending at the event and was impressed by Phillip's physique and sense of justice.
At the age of sixty he was already a grandfather multiple times over and wrote a Tony Award Winning Off-Broadway play that he produced, directed and stared in himself. The show ran for 3 years. In it's third year Sir Paul McCartney played the role of Bob.
At sixty-three, he retired to his home in Overland Park. In the remaining years of his life he started multiple charities, won two senior Powerlifting competitions, caught the largest salmon on record in North America, and read "all the books I'd been meaning to read."
He died while making love to his much younger wife Beth, just before making peace with God.
"He died with a smile on his face," said one close personal friend. "That same stupid, smug, grin."
"God, I hated that guy."

There is nothing special about the appearance of the discharge itself that can make it clear that the discharge is due to yeast. The diagnosis is often made more clear by doing a special stain, called a KOH stain, on the discharge and looking at it under the microscope. If you suspect you may have a yeast vaginitis, maybe your doctor is equipped to do such a stain and let you see it in the office. Thank you for your question.

Lakewood, NJ - The Delmarva Shorebirds (17-19) squandered the lead in the ninth inning, but scored in the twelfth inning to defeat the Lakewood BlueClaws (14-23) 7-6 at FirstEnergy Park on Tuesday night.
The Shorebirds jumped to an early lead in the first inning. Gregory Lorenzo drew a lead off walk and Tucker Nathans followed with a two-run homer to right field to put the Shorebirds in front 2-0. Then, Joel Hutter tripled to right-center field and scored on a groundout by Nik Balog.
Lakewood countered with a first inning run. Roman Quinn tripled and scored on a groundout to short by Chace Numata.
The Shorebirds tacked on two runs in the third to build a 5-1 lead. Lorenzo led off with a single. He stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by Numata. Two batters later, Joel Hutter hit a sacrifice fly to center field to plate Lorenzo. The next batter, Balog, launched a home run to deep right-center field.
Lakewood tied the game with a four-run third inning. The inning was highlighted by a three-run double by Brian Pointer.
The Shorebirds regained the lead in the sixth inning on a solo home run to right field by Nathans, his second of the game and team high fifth of the season.
In the ninth inning, the BlueClaws tied the game at 6-6. Carlos Tocci hit a one out single and moved to third on a flare to shallow left-center by Zach Taylor. With two outs, Roman Quinn singled to left-center to score Tocci.
After two scoreless extra innings, the Shorebirds took the lead in the twelfth. Wynston Sawyer drew a lead off walk. He advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt and tagged up to third on a fly ball. Then, with two outs, Adrian Marin singled to left to score Sawyer.
Lex Rutledge tossed two scoreless innings to earn the win. He struck out the side in the 11th and retired the BlueClaws in order in the 12th.
The Shorebirds and BlueClaws play the series finale on Wednesday, May 15 at 11:05am. Right-handed pitcher Parker Bridwell is the scheduled starter for Delmarva.

In a fairly extreme form it is asserted by Deutero‐Isaiah: 'I make well‐being, and I create disaster' (NJB, Isa. 45: 7). Everything is in the hand of a sovereign creator, without, however, depriving human beings of their own independence of action (Deut. 30: 15–16). What God ordains is, primarily, the salvation of humanity, and to that end he chooses a particular people (Gen. 18: 18) though not for any merit discernible in that people (Deut. 7: 7). In the NT God's determination is focused on Jesus, who fulfils OT expectations (Matt. 11: 3) and 'is going as it has been determined' (Luke 22: 22, NRSV). In the early Church the items in the apostles' preaching were said to have been ordained by God in his eternal providence (1 Pet. 1: 20).
