Whooping Cough Cure in Medical Astrology
Medical Astrology Treatment of Whooping cough
What is Whooping Cough?
Whooping cough (pertussis) is a bacterial infection commonly found in infants. The infection spreads in the throat and the nose. This is also called as respiratory infection caused by the Bacterium, Bordetella Pertussis and mainly affects the babies younger than 6 months who are not immunized by the vaccines.
Causes and Symptoms of Whooping Cough
There are various causes and symptoms of whooping cough but some of the most common signs and symptoms are-
• Runny nose
• Low-grade fever
• Sneezing continuously
• Mild cough
• Loss of appetite
• Tiredness
• Sore throat
• Tears
After infection of 3 to 3 weeks, the dry cough evolves into a irritating cough and a child may turn blue or red while coughing. This is the most painful condition for infant so necessary steps if taken for the prevention of whooping cough in a child can prevent the child from apnea (irregular breathing while coughing)
In adults and teens there may be milder effect of whooping cough such as milder fever, prolonged cough or prolonged cough without the whoop
What is Pertussis disease?
Pertussis disease is known, as whooping cough is a highly contagious disease of respiratory system caused by the bacteria Pertussis. It makes a violent, turbulent cough that often makes it hard to breathe.
Ayurveda and Whooping cough
Ayurveda is a very old ancient science, developed in India thousands of years ago. It lay stress on the disciplined way of life with the use of herbal medicines. These Ayurvedic medicines are very effective in the treatment of whooping cough and other respiratory problems.
Ayurvedic cure for whooping cough is very effective and it helps in the complete cure of the disease. In Ayurveda, whooping cough is known as DUSHTA KASA and it mostly attacks the small children and infants.
Some important Ayurvedic remedies used in whooping cough are-
• Ginger – it is effective in the treatment of cough, heals the sore throat, and provides relief in pain caused by the cough.
• Almond oil – This cures whooping cough if a mixture is taken with an onion juice.
• Comfrey – It is very useful in the dry persistent cough.
• Onion – Syrup of onion mixed with the honey juice is helpful in the treatment of whooping cough.
• Licorice – The dry powder of licorice, mixed and consumed by honey cures whooping cough and pain.
• Aloe Vera juice – Aloe Vera juice mixed with honey is a 100/5 natural cure for Pertussis or whooping cough.
Medical astrology and Pertussis or Whooping cough
Whooping cough is a respiratory disease and in astrological science, the onset or occurrence of disease is caused by the malefic combinations of planets either in the malefic house or if a planet associated with the respiratory tract is combust, weak or ill-placed, but according to various ascendants.
A weak representation of mercury in the birth chart causes respiratory problems such as asthma and whooping cough. Although whooping cough is a bacterial infection in the children, sometimes it is very severe even in adults, so in that case, a proper analysis of the birth chart by an expert medical astrologer is essential for complete cure of whooping cough in adults.
If you are looking for a medical astrologer in India, USA and U.K, then you may contact our medical astrologer, Mr. Prashant Kapoor. He is an only medical astrologer in India, treated more than 500 cases of respiratory problems by the combinations of Ayurveda and medical astrology.

Rock Center
Mike Partain got the shock of his life five years ago when he was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 39. That he got breast cancer at all is surprising. It's so rare that for every 100 women who get it, just one man will.
"Five years ago I was just an ordinary father of four, husband of 18 years. And one night, my then-wife gave me a hug and she felt a bump on my chest," he said in an interview with Dr. Nancy Snyderman airing tonight at 10pm/9CT on NBC News' Rock Center with Brian Williams.
When his doctor delivered the devastating news in a phone call, Partain's first thought was, "What contest in hell did I win to deserve this?"
After his diagnosis, Partain was desperate to answer the question, "why"? He said, "I don't drink. I don't smoke. I've never done drugs. There is no history of breast cancer in my family."
But everything changed after he saw a news report, where a former Marine drill instructor named Jerry Ensminger told Congress how his 9-year-old daughter Janey died of leukemia, and that he believed her death was caused by drinking water at Camp Lejeune contaminated with chemicals.
"My knees buckled," Mike said, "I grabbed the back of the couch and I sat there. I was like, 'Oh my God, this is what happened.'"
The son of a Marine, Partain was born at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. He soon learned that there had been a long history of suspicion about the water at Camp Lejeune.
"The entire time my mother was pregnant with me, we were drinking high levels of tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and benzene in our water" he said. Partain believes these chemicals caused his breast cancer.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that between 500,000 and 1 million people were exposed to the contaminated water from 1953 to 1987, when the last of several contaminated wells were closed.
Partain has found 83 other men who lived or served at Camp Lejeune who have also been diagnosed with male breast cancer.
Peter Devereaux, a 50-year-old a former Marine, is one of them. He was diagnosed in 2008.
Devereaux remembers when his doctor first let him know he had breast cancer.
"I was just like, whooo. Even now I've said that so many times, it still takes your breath away," he said.
Dr. Katherine Ruddy, a medical oncologist at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, is Devereaux's doctor.
"When Peter was first diagnosed, he had a stage III cancer. And approximately a year later, we did find that he had distant metastases to his bones," said Ruddy. She says his cancer is terminal.
Click here for more of Peter Devereaux's story.
Like Devereaux, most men tend to get diagnosed at later stages than women do, which decreases their survival, according to Ruddy. Devereaux needed a mastectomy and hormone treatment, both of which are common for men with male breast cancer. But the side effects of hormone treatments affect men differently than women, according to Ruddy.
"Men are not used to hot flashes and I think it is a particularly challenge for men to deal with the side effects of our treatments, including the hot flashes from our endocrine therapies that just are not something that they went into this expecting to feel," Ruddy said.
It is not just the disease that upsets the men from Camp Lejeune. They are angry because of how they believe they got cancer.

A Lab reports from 1980 show that the United States Marine Corps started routinely testing tap water back in 1980. Testing eventually revealed one sample that contained 280 times the acceptable standard of Trichloroethylene (TCE), a chemical which can cause cancer.
For more on Camp Lejeune and its drinking water, click here.
Some of the chemicals were linked to a dry cleaner off base that has since closed. But a recently-released report found that the worst contamination came directly from the Marine Corps, because of its industrial waste practices and from leaking fuel storage tanks. One document, released by the CDC in December 2012, details how over 1 million gallons of fuel seeped into the ground from underground storage tanks, contaminating the camp's well water.
Officials say that while testing of the tap water began in 1980, it took them four years to determine exactly which wells were contaminated, and that once those wells were identified, they were shut down immediately. Partain says the Marine Corps should have closed the wells earlier. "They chose to keep those wells on for whatever reason and did not begin shutting the wells down until 1984," he said.
As for any connection between the chemicals in the water and cancer, Marine Corps officials maintain that "reliable scientific evidence is lacking" to prove one way or another whether the water contamination caused any illness. But Dr. Richard Clapp, one of the nation's most respected experts in cancer and the environment, disagrees.
"The level [of contamination] in the drinking water was the highest that I've ever seen," said Clapp, an epidemiologist at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. "I've been working on this kind of thing for 30 years. I have never heard of a community that's had the levels of contaminants that they had at Camp Lejeune."
He has examined the data from Camp Lejeune and says he believes the contamination and the cancers are related. "The cluster of disease-- for example, male breast cancer-- may also turn out to be the highest that's been seen anywhere. "

Though the Marine Corps has not acknowledged a link between the bad water and any illness, Congress felt there was enough evidence to act to help the veterans who believed the water at Camp Lejeune made them sick. In 2012 the president signed a law providing health benefits to Camp Lejeune veterans and their families who can prove the contamination made them sick.
The law lists several types of diseases that may be related to the poisoned water at Camp Lejeune, including childhood leukemia as well as cancers of the kidney, lung, bladder and breast. But it has been hard for the male breast cancer patients who believe they're cancer was caused by contaminated water at Camp Lejeune to get benefits, which are managed through the Veteran's Administration.
One former Camp Lejeune Marine, Tom Gervasi, says he has been denied benefits several times. He says that for him, time is of the essence.
"I've got stage 4 terminal cancer. My survival is minimal. What I worry about is my wife, and her being taken care of by the VA and the Marine Corps, if at all possible," Gervasi said.
The men are waiting on a report due out this year from the CDC's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) that they believe may help them prove it was the water that made them sick, and that the Marine Corps is, in fact, responsible.
Partain and Camp Lejeune families say the CDC analysis, which began more than 20 years ago, is taking too long. Dr. Christopher Portier, the director of the ATSDR told NBC News "I think we are late on this one." Now he says he is pushing his staff to finish quickly. "Our responsibility for these people is to do the absolute best science, make sure we get it exactly right so nobody can challenge any of our results when we're done."
As everyone waits for the report, Partain and his men want the Marine Corps and the Veterans Administration to step up and take care of their Marines and their families. Partain asks, "When is the leadership of the Marine Corps going to stand up and say we made a mistake?"

SOAP::WSDL - SOAP with WSDL support
This module is not recommended for new application development. Please use XML::Compile::SOAP or SOAP::Lite instead if possible.
This module has a large number of known bugs and is not being actively developed. This 3.0 release is intended to update the module to pass tests on newer Perls. This is a service to existing applications already dependent on this module.
my $soap = SOAP::WSDL->new(
wsdl => 'file://bla.wsdl',
my $result = $soap->call('MyMethod', %data);
For creating Perl classes instrumenting a web service with a WSDL definition, read SOAP::WSDL::Manual.
For using an interpreting (thus slow and somewhat troublesome) WSDL based SOAP client, which mimics SOAP::Lite's API, read on.
Creating Interface classes is the recommended usage.
Did I say you should create interface classes following the steps in SOAP::WSDL::Manual?
If you're migrating from earlier versions of SOAP::WSDL, you should read the MIGRATING documentation.
The stuff below is for users of the 1.2x SOAP::WSDL series. All others, please refer to SOAP::WSDL::Manual
SOAP::WSDL provides easy access to Web Services with WSDL descriptions.
The WSDL is parsed and stored in memory.
Your data is serialized according to the rules in the WSDL.
The only transport mechanisms currently supported are http and https.
Constructor. All parameters passed are passed to the corresponding methods.
Performs a SOAP call. The result is either an object tree (with outputtree), a hash reference (with outputhash), plain XML (with outputxml) or a SOAP::SOM object (with neither of the above set).
call() can be called in different ways:
Old-style idiom
my $result = $soap->call('method', %data);
Does not support SOAP header data.
New-style idiom
my $result = $soap->call('method', $body_ref, $header_ref );
Does support SOAP header data. $body_ref and $header ref may either be hash refs or SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::* derived objects.
Result headers are accessible via the result SOAP::SOM object.
If outputtree or outputhash are set, you may also use the following to access response header data:
my ($body, $header) = $soap->call('method', $body_ref, $header_ref );
Reads the WSDL file and initializes SOAP::WSDL for working with it.
Is called automatically from call() if not called directly before.
You may set servicename and portname by passing them as attributes to wsdlinit:
servicename => 'MyService',
portname => 'MyPort',
When outputtree is set, SOAP::WSDL will return an object tree instead of a SOAP::SOM object.
You have to specify a class_resolver for this to work. See class_resolver
Set the class resolver class (or object).
Class resolvers must implement the method get_class which has to return the name of the class name for deserializing a XML node at the current XPath location.
Class resolvers are typically generated by using the generate_typemap method of a SOAP::WSDL::Generator subclass.
XML structure (SOAP body content):
Class resolver
package MyResolver;
my %typemap = (
'Person' => 'MyPersonClass',
'Person/Name' => 'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::string',
'Person/FirstName' => 'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::string',
sub get_class { return $typemap{ $_[1] } };
You'll need a MyPersonClass module in your search path for this to work - see SOAP::WSDL::XSD::ComplexType on how to build / generate one.
Sets the service to operate on. If no service is set via servicename, the first service found is used.
Returns the soap object, so you can chain calls like
Sets the port to operate on. If no port is set via portname, the first port found is used.
$soap->portname('Port')->call('MyMethod', %data);
When set, call() returns the plain request XML instead of dispatching the SOAP call to the SOAP service. Handy for testing/debugging.
Returns the SOAP client implementation used (normally a SOAP::WSDL::Client object).
See the examples/ directory.
WSDL handling
SOAP::WSDL 2 is a complete rewrite. While SOAP::WSDL 1.x attempted to process the WSDL file on the fly by using XPath queries, SOAP:WSDL 2 uses a Expat handler for parsing the WSDL and building up a object tree representing it's content.
The object tree has two main functions: It knows how to serialize data passed as hash ref, and how to render the WSDL elements found into perl classes.
Yup you're right; there's a builtin code generation facility. Read SOAP::WSDL::Manual for using it.
call() with no_dispatch set to true now returns the complete SOAP request envelope, not only the body's content.
call() with outputxml set to true now returns the complete SOAP response envelope, not only the body's content.
Both servicename and portname can only be called after calling wsdlinit().
You may pass the servicename and portname as attributes to wsdlinit, though.
The following functionality is no longer supported:
The SOAP standard allows operation overloading - that is, you may specify SOAP operations with more than one message. The client/server than can choose which message to send. This SOAP feature is usually used similar to the use of methods with different argument lists in C++.
Operation overloading is no longer supported. The WS-I Basic profile does not operation overloading. The same functionality as operation overloading can be obtained by using a choice declaration in the XML Schema.
Readable has no effect any more. If you need readable debug output, copy the SOAP message to your favorite XML editor and run the source format command. Outputting readable XML requires lots of programming for little use: The resulting XMl is still quite unreadable.
Setting on_action is not required any more, the appropriate value is automatically taken from the WSDL. on_action is a no-op, and is just here for compatibility issues.
readable is a no-op in SOAP::WSDL. Actually, the XML output from SOAP::Lite is hardly readable, either with readable switched on.
If you need readable XML messages, I suggest using your favorite XML editor for displaying and formatting.
While SOAP::Lite supports rpc/encoded style/encoding only, SOAP::WSDL currently supports document/literal style/encoding.
SOAP::Lite defaults to transmitting XML type information by default, where SOAP::WSDL defaults to leaving it out.
autotype(1) might even be broken in SOAP::WSDL - it's not well-tested, yet.
In contrast to SOAP::Lite, SOAP::WSDL supports the following output formats:
SOAP::SOM objects.
This is the default. SOAP::Lite is required for outputting SOAP::SOM objects.
Object trees.
This is the recommended output format. You need a class resolver (typemap) for outputting object trees. See class_resolver above.
Hash refs
This is for convenience: A single hash ref containing the content of the SOAP body.
See below.
SOAP::Lite returns only the content of the SOAP body when outputxml is set to true. SOAP::WSDL returns the complete XML response.
SOAP::WSDL does does not support auto-dispatching.
This is on purpose: You may easily create interface classes by using SOAP::WSDL::Client and implementing something like
sub mySoapMethod {
my $self = shift;
$soap_wsdl_client->call( mySoapMethod, @_);
You may even do this in a class factory - see wsdl2perl.pl for creating such interfaces.
While SOAP::Lite features a global tracing facility, SOAP::WSDL allows one to switch tracing on/of on a per-object base.
This has to be done in the SOAP client used by SOAP::WSDL - see get_client for an example and SOAP::WSDL::Client for details.
The bug tracker is at https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=SOAP-WSDL.
This module is in legacy maintenance mode. Only show stopper bugs are being fixed, until/unless someone wishes to resume active development on it. Scott Walters, email@example.com has obtained co-mainter from the CPAN admins for the purpose of applying existing fixes people have submit to the RT tracker, and to apply other fixes as needed to get the module to install and run on newer Perls. Non show-stopper bugs reports without fixes will be added to this list of limitations. Of course, fixes for these and other bugs are welcome. Scott does not get email from rt.cpan.org, so please drop an email to him at firstname.lastname@example.com if you open a ticket there.
Breaks the idiom $package->can("SUPER::method") in your code
If you redefine UNIVERSAL::can(), and someone tries to do $package->can("SUPER::method"), it'll look at your packages @ISA, not theirs. This module does precicely that, by way of its dependency on Class::Std::Fast.
$obj == undef does not work in perl 5.8.6 and perl 5.8.7
Due to some strange behaviour in perl 5.8.6 and perl 5.8.7, stringification overloading is not triggered during comparison with undef.
While this is probably harmless in most cases, it's important to know that you need to do
defined( $obj->get_value() )
to check for undef values in simpleType objects.
perl 5.8.0 or higher required
SOAP::WSDL needs perl 5.8.0 or higher. This is due to a bug in perls before - see http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/perl5-porters/929746 for details.
Apache SOAP datatypes are not supported
You can't use SOAP::WSDL with Apache SOAP datatypes like map.
Incomplete XML Schema definitions support
This section describes the limitations of SOAP::WSDL, that is the interpreting SOAP client. For limitations of wsdl2perl.pl generated SOAP clients, see SOAP::WSDL::Manual::XSD.
XML Schema attribute definitions are not supported in interpreting mode.
The following XML Schema definitions varieties are not supported in interpreting mod:
The following XML Schema definition content model is only partially supported in interpreting mode:
complexContent - only restriction variety supported
See SOAP::WSDL::Manual::XSD for details.
Serialization of hash refs does not work for ambiguous values
If you have list elements with multiple occurrences allowed, SOAP::WSDL has no means of finding out which variant you meant.
Passing in item => [1,2,3] could serialize to
<item>1 2</item><item>3</item>
<item>1</item><item>2 3</item>
Ambiguous data can be avoided by providing data as objects.
XML Schema facets
Almost no XML schema facets are implemented. The only facets currently implemented are:
The following facets have no influence:
Full featured SOAP-library, little WSDL support. Supports rpc-encoded style only. Many protocols supported.
Creates parser/generator functions for SOAP messages. Includes SOAP Client and Server implementations. Can validate XML messages.
You might want to give it a try, especially if you need to adhere very closely to the XML Schema / WSDL specs.

You have to see the Alamo, of course, and stroll the River Walk. But you would be remiss to end your San Antonio visit there. This city of more than 1.3 million has an up-and-coming cosmopolitan cultural scene. Museums and galleries are opening—the San Antonio Children's Museum, the Briscoe Western Art Museum, the forthcoming Tobin Center for the Performing Arts. And like all great cities, San Antonio is giving rise to world-class restaurants. The Culinary Institute of America opened its third U.S. campus here a few years ago, and eateries keep arriving on the scene. You can still get your barbecue and Tex-Mex fix—but you'll also find "saviche," a cross between seviche and sashimi; Moroccan chermoula chicken; and stellar macarons. Here, a guide to San Antonio's latest culinary attractions.
"Your wish has been granted," says the voice of Zoltar from the slot machine at Arcade Midtown Kitchen, in the Pearl Brewery neighborhood. And for at least one San Antonian, the fortune-teller speaks the truth. Eleven years ago, investor Christopher "Kit" Goldsbury embarked on a mission to save the historic Pearl Brewery complex—a collection of sandy brick warehouses and a smokestack. A food-loving billionaire, Goldsbury envisioned a dining village made up of independent chef-driven restaurants and peppered with shops, apartments and plenty of green space. Today his vision is becoming real.
The 135-seat Arcade Midtown Kitchen is one of a handful of recent openings in the revitalized Pearl Brewery district, aka Pearl. Chef-owner Jesse Perez has playfully incorporated Pearl history in Arcade's lofty interiors: Look for salvaged bottle crates, metal door handles and conveyor belts in the light fixtures, wall hangings, booths and entryways. Comfort foods—skirt steak and frites, mussels with chorizo—are served on galvanized metal tables, and you can request a seat at the kitchen table to watch the chefs at work.
Around the corner, Granary 'Cue & Brew, in a historic clapboard house, churns out lunch and dinner on a 4,000-pound wood-fired smoker. You'll find giant beef ribs, tender pork belly and peppery sliced brisket on the meat-focused menu. Co-owner and brewer Alex Rattray also makes four types of beer in a back-room microbrewery—order a flight so you can sample them all.
Some of Pearl's first restaurants still rank among its best. James Beard–nominated chef Andrew Weissman is behind both Il Sogno Osteria, serves Florence- and Rome-inspired dishes, and SandBar Fish House & Market, which joined the Pearl dining scene the same year. At the latter, nautical-blue walls and crisp white tiles set the scene for fresh seafood dishes, such as barramundi with black-truffle foam, wild-caught salmon and "saviche," that cross between seviche and sashimi. It's an easy walk from Pearl to Weissman's next venture, the Luxury, via the latest, 1.3-mile extension of the River Walk. There craft beers and heavenly sandwiches are served from repurposed shipping containers overlooking the water.
Once dominated by dilapidated houses, the streets surrounding Pearl are also starting to change. Exhibit A: the new Bakery Lorraine, run by Anne Ng and Jeremy Mandrell, pastry chefs who cut their teeth at Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery in Yountville, California. Their refined tarts and buttery croissants have already attracted a devoted local following. Good luck leaving without a box of delicate macarons for the road.
SOUTH TOWN and KING WILLIAM
Chef Johnny Hernandez spent months sampling the offerings of street carts across Mexico to perfect the recipes for his first San Antonio restaurant, La Gloria. Now comes Hernandez hot spot number two: the Frutería–Botanero, in South Town, a neighborhood of old industrial buildings that are morphing into condos, shops and restaurants. Like La Gloria, the Frutería is already being hailed for its authentic south-of-the-border flavors. Daytime highlights include jugos and licuados—fresh-pressed juices and smoothies made with yogurt or milk—and the sincronizada: a Mexican sandwich of scrambled eggs, ham, Oaxaca cheese, avocado and soft, salty bread.
Come evening, the Frutería converts into a botanero, a casual Mexican bar serving small, tasty plates. Snack on pan-fried chipotle peppers and chiles rellenos stuffed with roast pork while you peruse the tequila sipping menu, about 50 names strong. Fresh fruit cocktails are also on offer, or just go with a michelada—beer with lime juice and hot sauce.
In the nearby King William neighborhood, colorful lights twinkle over tables in the backyard of the Monterey. While the menu changes weekly, Gulf shrimp and oysters and the Frito pie po'boy—pulled pork and green onions tucked into a soft bun slathered with jalapeño mayo—regularly make the cut. Down the street, diners at Feast settle into see-through chairs by Philippe Starck for dishes like grilled lamb with red curry and coconut milk and chermoula-marinated chicken.
The heart of San Antonio's historic downtown district is littered with chain restaurants that cater to tourists looking for a quick bite. But some of the city's best bars are popping up around its bike- and pedestrian-friendly outskirts. Ocho, overlooking the River Walk from the back of the Hotel Havana, serves food but is best known for its hip design (blue velvet couches, glass garage doors, candle chandeliers) and haute cocktails (try the Hemingway Daiquiri, made with Mount Gay Silver Eclipse, grapefruit, lime and a maraschino cherry).
At the new Brooklynite, owner and mixologist Jeret Peña makes cocktails behind a long bar under a pressed tin ceiling. Go the classic old-fashioned route or try something adventurous, like the lemon-rhubarb Julius (bourbon, Aperol, lemon curd and honey). This bar signaled a new era for San Antonio's scene when it opened its doors this past fall ("Serious cocktails have arrived!" one headline proclaimed)—and it promises more cosmopolitan flavors to come.

Complete Concise
This excellent chapter is the same with 2 Sa. 7. It will be
worth while to look back upon what was there said upon it. Two things in general
we have in it:I. God's gracious acceptance of David's purpose to build
him a house, and the promise he made thereupon (v. 1-15). II. David's
gracious acceptance of God's good promise to build him a house, and the prayer
he made thereupon (v. 16-27).
Verses 1-15
Let us observe here,
I. How desirous and solicitous good people should be to serve
the interests of God's kingdom in the world, to the utmost of their capacity.
David could not be easy in a house of cedar while the ark was lodged within
curtains, v. 1. The concerns of the public should always be near our hearts.
What pleasure can we take in our own prosperity if we see not the good of
Jerusalem? When David is advanced to wealth and power see what his cares and
projects are. Not, "What shall I do for my children to get portions for
them? What shall I do to fill my coffers and enlarge my dominions?" But,
"What shall I do for God, to serve and honour him?" Those that are
contriving where to bestow their fruits and their good would do well to enquire
what condition the ark is in, and whether some may not be well bestowed upon it.
II. How ready God's prophets should be to encourage every good
purpose. Nathan was no sooner aware of David's good design than he bade him go
and do all that was within his heart (v. 2), for he had no reason to doubt
but that God was with him in it. Ministers should stir up the gifts and graces
that are in others as well as in themselves.
III. How little God affects external pomp and splendour in his
service. His ark was content with a tabernacle (v. 5) and he never so much as
mentioned the building of a house for it; no, not when he had fixed his people
in great and goodly cities which they builded not, Deu. 6:10. He commanded the
judges to feed his people, but never bade them build him a house,
v. 6. We may well be content awhile with mean accommodations; God's ark was
IV. How graciously God accepts his people's good purposes,
yea, though he himself prevents the performance of them. David must not build
this house, v. 4. He must prepare for it, but not do it; as Moses must bring
Israel within sight of Canaan, but must them leave it to Joshua to put them in
possession of it. It is the prerogative of Christ to be both the author and
finisher of his work. Yet David must not think that, because he was not
permitted to build the temple, 1. His preferment was in vain; no, "I
took thee from the sheep-cote, though not to be a builder of the temple, yet
to be ruler over my people Israel; that is honour enough for thee; leave
the other to one that shall come after thee," v. 7. Why should one man
think to engross all the business and to bring every good work to perfection?
Let something be left for those that succeed. God had given him victories, and
made him a name (v. 8), and, further, intended by him to establish his people
Israel and secure them against their enemies, v. 9. That must be his
work, who is a man of war and fit for it, and he must let the building of
churches be left to one that was never cut out for a soldier. Nor, 2. Must he
think that his good purpose was in vain, and that he should lose the reward of
it; no, it being God's act to prevent the execution of it, he shall be as
fully recompensed as if he had done it; "The Lord will build thee a
house, and annex the crown of Israel to it," v. 10. If there be a
willing mind, it shall not only be accepted, but thus rewarded. Nor, 3. Must he
think that because he might not do this good work therefore it would
never be done, and that it was in vain to think of it; no, I will raise up
thy seed, and he shall build me a house, v. 11, 12. God's temple shall be
built in the time appointed, though we may not have the honour of helping to
build it or the satisfaction of seeing it built. Nor, 4. Must he confine his
thoughts to the temporal prosperity of his family, but must entertain himself
with the prospect of the kingdom of the Messiah, who should descend from his
loins, and whose throne should be established for evermore, v. 14.
Solomon was not himself so settled in God's house as he should have been, nor
was his family settled in the kingdom: "But there shall one descend from
thee whom I will settle in my house and in my kingdom," which intimates
that he should be both a high priest over the house of God and should have the
sole administration of the affairs of God's kingdom among men, all power both
in heaven and in earth, in the house and in the kingdom, in the church and in
the world. He shall be a priest upon his throne, and the counsel of
peace shall be between them both, and he shall build the temple of the
Lord, Zec. 6:12, 13.
Verses 16-27
We have here David's solemn address to God, in answer to the
gracious message he had now received from him. By faith he receives the
promises, embraces them, and is persuaded of them, as the patriarchs, Heb,
11:13. How humbly does he here abase himself, and acknowledge his own
unworthiness! How highly does he advance the name of God and admire his
condescending grace and favour! With what devout affections does he magnify the
God of Israel and what a value has he for the Israel of God! With what assurance
does he build upon the promise, and with what a lively faith does he put it in
suit! What an example is this to us of humble, believing, fervent prayer! The
Lord enable us all thus to seek him! These things were largely observed, 2 Sa.
7. We shall therefore here observe only those few expressions in which the
prayer, as we find it here, differs from the record of it there, and has
something added to it.
I. That which is there expressed by way of question (Is this
the manner of men, O Lord God?) is here an acknowledgment: "Thou
hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree. Thou hast
made me a great man, and then treated me accordingly." God, by the
covenant-relations into which he admits believers, the titles he gives them, the
favours he bestows on them, and the preparations he has made for them, regards
them according to the estate of men of high degree, though they are mean and
vile. Having himself distinguished them, he treats them as persons of
distinction, according to the quality he has been pleased to put upon them. Some
give these words here another reading: "Thou hast looked upon me in the
form of a man who art in the highest, the Lord God; or, Thou hast made me
to see according to the form of a man the majesty of the Lord God." And
so it points at the Messiah; for, as Abraham, so David, saw his day and was
glad, saw it by faith, saw it in fashion as a man, the Word made flesh,
and yet saw his glory as that of the only-begotten of the Father.
And this was that which God spoke concerning his house for a great while to
come, the foresight of which affected him more than any thing. And let it not be
thought strange that David should speak so plainly of the two natures of Christ
who in spirit called him Lord, though he knew he was to be his Son
(Ps. 110:1), and foresaw him lower than the angels for a little while,
but afterwards crowned with glory and honour, Heb. 2:6, 7.
II. After the words What can David say more unto thee, it
is here added, for the honour of they servant? v. 18. Note, The honour
God puts upon his servants, by taking them into covenant and communion with
himself, is so great that they need not, they cannot, desire to be more highly
honoured. Were they to sit down and wish, they could not speak more for their
own honour than the word of God has spoken.
III. It is very observable that what in Samuel is said to be for
thy word's sake is here said to be for thy servant's sake, v. 19.
Jesus Christ is both the Word of God (Rev. 19:13) and the servant of
God (Isa. 42:1), and it is for his sake, upon the score of his meditation,
that the promises are both made and made good to all believers; it is in him
that they are yea and amen. For his sake is all kindness done, for his
sake it is made known; to him we owe all this greatness and from him we are to
expect all these great things; they are the unsearchable riches of Christ,
which, if by faith we see in themselves and see in the hand of the Lord Jesus,
we cannot but magnify as great things, the only true greatness, and speak
honourably of accordingly.
IV. In Samuel, the Lord of hosts is said to be the God over
Israel; here he is said to be the God of Israel, even a God to Israel,
v. 24. His being the God of Israel bespeaks his having the name of their
God and so calling himself; his being a God to Israel bespeaks his
answering to the name, his filling up the relation, and doing all that to them
which might be expected from him. There were those that were called gods
of such and such nations, gods of Assyria and Egypt, gods of Hamad and Arpad;
but they were no gods to them, for they stood them in no stead at all, were mere
ciphers, nothing but a name. But the God of Israel is a God to Israel;
all his attributes and perfections redound to their real benefit and advantage. Happy
therefore, thrice happy, is the people whose God is Jehovah; for he will be
a God to them, a God all-sufficient.
V. The closing words in Samuel are, With thy blessing let the
house of thy servant be blessed forever. That is the language of a holy
desire. But the closing words here are the language of a most holy faith: For
thou blessest, O Lord! and it shall be blessed for ever, v. 27. 1. He was
encouraged to beg a blessing because God had intimated to him that he had
blessings in store for him and his family: "Thou blessest, O Lord!
and therefore unto thee shall all flesh come for a blessing; unto thee do I come
for the blessing promised to me." Promises are intended to direct and
excite prayer. Has God said, I will bless? Let our hearts answer, Lord,
bless me, 2. He was earnest for the blessing because he believed that those
whom God blesses are truly and eternally blessed: Thou blessest, and it shall
be blessed. Men can but beg the blessing; it is God that commands
it. What he designs he effects; what he promises he performs; saying and doing
are not two things with him. Nay, it shall be blessed for ever. His
blessings shall not be revoked, cannot be opposed, and the benefits conferred by
them are such as will survive time and days. David's prayer concludes as God's
promise did (v. 14) with that which is for ever. God's word looks at
things eternal, and so should our desires and hopes.

Ghost Squad
Ghost Squad
Growing up in a small town, Charlie, Alex and Nick weren't the most popular kids around after they formed 'The Elite Monster Unit'. Chasing notorious, mythical legends and ghosts was exciting to them, not 'cool' to the other kids around. So they lived their lives on the outside of the 'in' crowd.Making matters worse was Charlie's obvious crush on Brandy, one of the most popular kids in school and sister to one of the biggest bullies around. Trying to impress Brandy, Charlie accepts a dare from her brother Nick that says he and his friends must spend Halloween night in a house long rumored to be haunted.What seems to be an easy challenge quickly turns out to be a night of frights as Charlie, Nick and Alex find themselves in the fight of their lives trying to out smart (and outrun) their new nemesis, a ghost dog named Salty, who does whatever he can to make this the worst night of their lives...

Mold Removal
Call our 24/7 emergency service line at 855-724-6269 or request an estimate online. We're ready to help.
If you've discovered mold, or are concerned that a slow leak may have allowed it to grow behind a wall or other unseen area, we find the mold, treat it, and do a complete water damage remediation. We put the highest value on open communication and customer service and document the entire mold removal process.
Mold removal protects the health of your family or employees, preserves the structural integrity of your property, and improves the musty, damp smell associated with mold. And we help you get to the root cause of the issue, so the problem is not repeated. Happily. Even after.
We recently had major water damage due to a washing machine overflow. Rainbow came out to the house on a Sunday night over a three day weekend and proceeded to take the action necessary to prevent further damage working late into the night. They also completed the entire dry out which took several days and a lot of hard work. Always arrived on time and did what they promised and kept me informed of each step. It was a pleasure to deal with the entire team. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any work of this nature including mold repair and restoration work.
- Frank D.
What, and What Not, to Do Right Now
If you've just discovered mold in your home or business, or experienced a water event, so you might be wondering what to do next. Mold only needs two or three days to start growing after a flood or other damaging water event. To avoid having a mold problem caused by a water event, check out these water recovery tips and arrange to have the water removed within 48 hours, if possible.
If you've just discovered mold or suspect you have some in a hidden place – under a floor, above a ceiling, behind a wall – you need to have it inspected right away by a licensed and certified mold removal professional like Rainbow International.
Mold is usually caused by a slow leak plumbing failure, too-humid indoor air, or a flood that was not professionally remediated.
Steps to take as soon as you detect mold:
- Cleaning with bleach and water, or other household disinfectants will not kill mold. Try to keep yourself, children, employees and others out of the affected area.
- Attempting to dry the area with a fan might disturb the spores and spread them to a new area.
- If the mold is contained to a room with a door, keep the door closed.
- Call a locally based professional mold removal service, such as Rainbow International. Make an appointment with Rainbow International (available 24/7, 365 days a year at 855-724-6269).
- You may wish to notify your insurance company. Many homeowner's insurance policies cover mold removal, and many policies require you to report your issue "as soon as reasonably possible."

We are one of the top mold removal service providers in the U.S. and Canada. How did we achieve this? By providing fast, quality, start-to-finish restoration services, following our 17-Step quality assurance system to deliver the highest possible customer experience, including providing real-time status updates to you and your insurance company.
Rainbow International mold removal service professionals are fully certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, the industry's most demanding standard.
Health Risks of Mold
Due to the health risks associated with mold exposure, it is best to have mold remediation conducted as soon as possible. Though the type of reaction depends upon the mold present, according to both the EPA and CDC all molds have the potential to cause health issues such as:
- Headaches
- Breathing difficulties
- Persistent cough or cold symptoms
- Burning or irritation of the eyes, nose, throat or lungs
- Asthma attacks
- Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
- Skin irritation
- Allergic reactions
- Opportunistic infections in immune-compromised individuals
About 50 to 100 common types of indoor mold have the potential to create health problems.
Our Mold Removal Process
Mold remediation consists of determining the mold's location and scope, identifying the type of mold, and then safely and completely killing the mold. In a small number of cases where moisture has caused structural rot, it is necessary to tear-out moldy areas and repair/ reconstruct.
There are multiple approaches to mold remediation, and a Rainbow professional will work with you to decide on the best approach, depending on variables such as:
- the cause of the mold
- the scope of the mold
- the type of mold
- the condition of the surface affected – drywall, wood, cinder block, cement, etc.
Rainbow's expert mold remediation includes:
- Assessment. A Rainbow International contractor will come into your home to identify moldy areas as well as the source of the problem. The contractor will then formulate a mold remediation plan.
- Containment. The source of the moisture problem is addressed and the affected area is closed off to avoid contaminating the rest of your home with mold spores stirred up during the removal process.
- Filtration. HEPA filters will be used to clean the air of mold spores and other particles. The Rainbow International specialist will also wear goggles and masks to lessen any exposure to airborne contaminants.
- Removal. Building materials and personal belongings in your home can be affected. Since mold is a living organism and deeply ingrains itself into materials to survive, it is best to dispose of anything porous. The safest and most effective way to ensure mold doesn't return is to remove affected material. Nonporous materials can be cleaned with antimicrobial cleaners and sealants may be used to make treated areas more resistant to water and mold. You may need to have your heating and air conditioning systems professionally cleaned as well.
- Drying. It is imperative that cleaned and repaired items remain thoroughly dry. Remember, excessive moisture is how the issue started. As a result, your Rainbow International mold remediation specialist will likely cover moisture management strategies to ensure your home doesn't encounter future issues.
- Repair. The reconstruction process will begin after all mold-contaminated materials are removed. Clean, mold-free materials will replace what was previously contaminated.
- Testing. Following remediation, we search for any signs of recurrent water damage, moldy odors or visible mold to ensure the cleanup has been complete.
Common Mold and Mold-Causing Scenarios
At Rainbow we've seen it all, and fixed every kind of mold problem imaginable. Here are the most common causes of mold at homes and businesses:
- Slow leaks in plumbing pipes or appliances (dishwasher, toilet, garbage disposal), that are not noticed right away or visible to the home or business owner.
- Rooms or unseen, often dark areas where humidity is too high and damp air is trapped for an extended period of time (crawl spaces, basements, attics).
- Flooding events where water damage remediation work does not begin inside 48-72 hours.
- Cracks in exterior walls that allow water to seep into frame of home or business.
- Roof leaks, leaks through damaged exterior siding.
There's a Rainbow on the Other Side
Having mold in your home or place of business can be upsetting. The good news is that our customers learn that there is a rainbow at the end of this. You will, too. Call our 24/7 emergency service line at 855-724-6269 or schedule an appointment online. We're ready to help.
"Happily. Even after."

The Arctic Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA®) is a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) tool that assists emergency responders and environmental resource managers in dealing with incidents that may adversely impact the arctic environment. Arctic ERMA integrates various real-time and static datasets into a single interactive map to provide a visualization of the situation and improve communication and coordination among responders and stakeholders.
The Arctic ERMA was officially launched in July 2012 and is one of eight regional ERMA projects in the U.S. Arctic ERMA was designed as a tool for the Arctic's distinctive conditions, considering variables such as the extent and concentration of sea ice, locations of ports and pipelines, and vulnerable environmental resources.
The launch of Arctic ERMA is part of ongoing efforts by the Interagency Working Group on Coordination of Domestic Energy Development and Permitting in Alaska, which President Obama established in July 2011. This working group aims to coordinate the federal agencies responsible for overseeing the safe and responsible development of onshore and offshore energy in Alaska.
Arctic ERMA is administered and funded primarily by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), but many organizations were integral in the development of the Arctic ERMA and continue to contribute to its operation:
University of New Hampshire (UNH) Coastal Response Research Center has been a co-developer and inventor of ERMA. Currently, UNH hosts ERMA and continues to be a partner in continued development. The UNH Coastal Response Research Center also hosts stakeholder workshops in arctic communities in order to have a direct conversation with potentially affected communities, and engages in other stakeholder input activities.
Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement contributed funding to complete the website and to develop an ERMA prototype that will function as a stand-alone system without Internet connectivity. This prototype is now in its final stages and will be tested this summer.
University of Alaska Geographic Information Network of Alaska (GINA) serves as a portal and repository of data and contributes imagery for the state of Alaska.
Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) also serves as a portal and repository for data. Types of data from AOOS include the shorebird atlas and salmon streams.
Alaska ShoreZone Program shares data on coastal mapping and imagery of Alaska.
Oil Spill Recovery Institute (OSRI) provided initial funding for Arctic ERMA.
Inuvialuit Settlement Region Joint Secretariat in Canada has provided in-kind funding as well as funding for a workshop as part of the effort with the Arctic Council's Emergency Prevention, Preparedness and Response (EPPR) working group.
Datasets and Applications
Presently, Arctic ERMA is comprised of over 500 data layers. Examples of available datasets include weather and oceanographic information, ice extent and concentration, nautical charts, ship locations, locations of infrastructure and equipment, environmental sensitivity data, habitat locations, bathymetry, oil infrastructure, critical areas for marine mammals/birds, and satellite information.
Arctic ERMA was already in use before its official launch. In 2010, ERMA was used to monitor and prepare for a spill from the M/V Golden Seas near the Aleutian Islands. In January 2012, it was used to monitor and provide information to the State of Alaska for the U.S. Coast Guard Healy and Russian tanker Renda's fueling operation to Nome.
Since its official launch, it has been used in a few arctic exercises including an industry-sponsored training simulation of an oil spill in the Chukchi Sea in the summer of 2012. Arctic ERMA was also used to monitor the drill rig Kulluk for several days following 31 December 2012 when it ran aground near Kodiak Island. Over the past year, ERMA has been used to show where potential marine debris from the Japan tsunami has impacted Alaskan shores.
Future Plans
Future plans for Arctic ERMA consist of adding data (including local knowledge), keeping all data layers current, and continuing to ensure all metadata are compliant for public release of datasets. There are efforts to move the website into a government domain on cloud-computing resources. Also, this summer the stand-alone ERMA prototype will be completed with the capability of re-syncing once Internet access is secured at a field site.
For further information, see the Arctic ERMA website or contact Amy Merten, Chief, Spatial Data Branch, Office of Response and Restoration (Amy.Merten [at] noaa.gov).

The civil war in Syria rages on, with the Security Council's 6-point peace plan a dead letter and largely irrelevant–except as a collective delusion which keeps members of the Security Council and the Arab League from seeing clearly what is actually happening on the ground. According to Haaretz, over 11,000 people have been killed in Syria since March, 2011.
This blood is on the hands of the Russians and the Chinese, of Medvedev, Putin and Hu Jintao, as well as those of al-Assad.

(visited by Tim Breeze, Suzanne Breeze, Sarah Breeze and Rachel Breeze)
21-Sep-2010 --
While planning a trip from the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane to Lawn Hill north of Mt Isa I checked the map to see if we would go past any confluences that hadn't been done. S22 E143 fitted in to our timing very well. After overnighting in Longreach we drove to Winton, site of the first registered office of Qantas Airways.
We headed north towards Hughenden on a good bitumen road and after about 35km turned into the driveway for Lana Downs Station where we were greeted by dogs as big as horses. Luckily the owners were home and after explaining about the confluence they gave us permission and directions to get to the point.
The country was mostly open grassland with trees and some prickle bushes along the creek beds. This is good cattle country and the Brahman cross cows we came across were in excellent condition. As the photos show it was very dry but on our journey to Longreach we had passed through some heavy rain, which was unusual as the wet season usually doesn't start till the end of the year. About a month after our visit the owners emailed us that they too had some good rain and a picture showed the grassland transformed to a sea of green.
We were able to follow graded access tracks to water bores, going through the inevitable gates and parked 700m from the confluence point as the ground was too rough to drive off the track. It was easy walking, crossing a dry creek bed.
We took the necessary photos and then headed back to Winton, to continue our journey north.

Superhuman Hearing Possible, Experiments Suggest
Vibrating ear bones could someday boost hearing.
People may one day be able to hear what are now inaudible sounds, scientists say.
New experiments suggest that just vibrating the ear bones could create shortcuts for sounds to enter the brain, thus boosting hearing.
Most people can hear sounds in the range of about 20 hertz (Hz) at the low end to about 20 kilohertz (kHz) at the high end.
Twenty kHz would sound like a very high-pitched mosquito buzz, and 20 Hz would be what you'd hear if "you were at an R&B concert and you just stood next to the bass," explained Michael Qin, a senior research scientist at the Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory in Connecticut.
"It would be the thing that's moving your pants leg."
(See "Ultrasonic Frog Tunes Its Ears Like a Radio Dial.")
Under certain circumstances, humans can also hear frequencies outside of this normal range. For instance, divers underwater can detect sounds of up to a hundred kHz, according to Qin's recent experiments.
It's unclear why the divers have enhanced hearing underwater, but it may be because the sounds travel directly through the bones to the brain, he said.
Vibrating Ear Bones Boost Hearing
In normal hearing, sound waves traveling through the air or water enter our ear canals and strike our eardrums, causing them to vibrate. Our eardrums are connected to three tiny, connected bones called the malleus, incus, and stapes—popularly known as the hammer, anvil, and stirrup, due to their shapes.
As the stapes bone rocks back and forth, it pushes against a fluid-filled structure called the cochlea in the inner ear. Resembling a tiny snail, the cochlea contains tiny hair-like structures that translate the pressure waves in the jostling fluid into nerve signals that are sent to the brain and interpreted as sounds.
"If you think of the hearing system as one long chain of events, there are multiple places in which bone conduction or underwater hearing can bypass that chain," he said.
For example, bone conduction occurs when very high-frequency sounds directly stimulate the ear bones, sending signals to the brain without activating the eardrums. This is how some species of whales hear underwater.
(Also see "Fossils Show How Whales Evolved to Hear Underwater.")
"The core of our work is trying to understand underwater hearing and bone-conduction hearing, and to determine if they share the same underlying mechanism," he said.
Alternatively, certain ultrasonic frequencies might stimulate the fluid in the cochlea.
"It could be like hitting a wrench against a water tank," Qin explained. "The fluid itself could go into oscillation."
Superhuman Hearing Devices on the Horizon?
Qin and his team are now exploring which bones are most likely to be most sensitive to ultrasonic vibrations.
Could such research lead to devices that give us superhuman hearing or improved hearing aids? Qin is mum for now.
"That's the great thing about basic science, right? It lets you know how things work, and you can bend it to many applications."
Qin and his team will present their research at the annual Acoustical Society of America meeting in Seattle in late May.

Op-Ed: Gun control has a clear record of failure
by Tom Gresham
In the wake of the horrific murders at the Sandy Hook school in Connecticut, America has been deluged with calls for ever-more-restrictive gun-control laws, and that's understandable. It's natural to think that's the solution if you don't know these measures have been tried and have always failed.
We crave a solution so much that we'll ignore the record and keep repeating failed policies.
We are told that we need gun-control laws. Sounds good, right? Should we make it illegal for anyone adjudicated to be mentally ill to buy a gun? Let's make it illegal for felons to possess guns. Let's license gun dealers and require the FBI to do a background check on anyone buying a gun from these stores. How about an age restriction on buying guns? Gun shows should have to follow the same laws as everyone else.
All those already are law, and there are some 20,000 additional gun-control laws in the U.S. Before one can rationally call for passage of gun laws, he or she must know what already is covered.
How about a ban on "assault weapons?" We're told this is only common sense. But, what is this thing called an assault weapon? It's not a machine gun. There were no machine guns covered in the original assault-weapon ban because those firearms already are tightly restricted. No, the auto-loading (called semi-automatic) rifles included in the original law simply looked like military guns. They should be banned on the basis of how they look? They fire only one shot with each pull of the trigger, like a revolver or the cowboy-style lever-action rifle used by John Wayne.
Semi-automatics have been around for more than 100 years. President Teddy Roosevelt hunted with a semi-automatic rifle, as do millions of hunters today.
For 10 years (1994 to 2004) we banned only those semi-automatic rifles that look like military guns. Prohibitionists' logic dictates that the demise of this law in 2004 should have spawned a huge increase in crime with rifles. Didn't happen. More people are killed with fists and feet than with rifles of any kind, and semiautomatics constitute merely a subset of rifles. In short, the ban failed. It had to.
The National Academy of Sciences studied gun laws in the U.S. and reported it could find no link between restrictions on gun ownership and lower rates of crime, firearms violence or accidents with guns.
Over the past 20 years, the rates of violent crime and murder have dropped by half in the U.S., according to the FBI. That's astounding. We have more guns and more gun owners, but the rate of violent crime and murder went down by half. Accidental shooting deaths also declined. How can this be?
Two things were done, and they work.
Over the course of a half-century, with more guns and more gun owners, the number of gun accidents resulting in death has fallen because of education. Gun owners, through various programs, have taught safe gun storage and gun handling and have brought into our schools the Eddie Eagle program, which teaches young children to not touch guns and to tell an adult if they find one.
The major change in America's gun laws over the past two decades is removing prohibitions against people carrying guns for protection. The concealed-carry movement started in Florida amid catcalls from the media — which dubbed it the "Gunshine State" — and predictions that every fender-bender accident would result in gunshots. That didn't happen there, and it didn't happen in the other states. More good people are carrying guns, and the violent-crime and murder rates decline.
We have a clear track record of what works to increase our safety. We know what doesn't. Arming good people does, in fact, reduce crime. Banning certain types of firearms, or the loading devices, does nothing to stop mentally ill people and criminals.
Focusing on the failed siren song of gun control diverts us from doing things that actually work, such as programs to secure firearms. Congress eliminated the funding for "Project Childsafe," a program created by the firearms industry to educate gun owners about safe storage and to distribute millions of gun locks.
We all want to do something, but it is foolish and wasteful to return to a policy with a clear record of failure.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – No. 17 Florida hasn't gotten this kind of quarterback play, at least not for three consecutive games, since the Tim Tebow era.
Tyler Murphy, a fourth-year junior who didn't take a snap his first three seasons, has shown poise and pocket presence. He has been accurate and efficient. He has taken care of the ball, turned negative plays into big gains and helped the Gators overcome a season-ending injury to starter Jeff Driskel.
In three games, Murphy has performed better than Driskel and everyone else who threw passes at Florida since Tebow's departure in 2010.
And if anyone wants to call Murphy a "game manager," well, that's just fine. Murphy and the Gators (4-1, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) welcome the label. They even consider it a compliment.
"I've been criticized a little bit for saying 'managed,'" coach Will Muschamp said. "That's the greatest compliment you can give a quarterback. Tom Brady is a great game manager. It's about converting third downs. It's about completing passes. It's about getting your offense in and out of the right runs, the right passes, protections, taking the ball to the right spot, taking care of the football, scoring points, moving your team, your team having in confidence in you.
"That's one of the greatest compliments you can have as a quarterback — a game manager. I don't know where that became a bad word in the coaching profession."
Murphy has completed 72 percent of his passes for 530 yards, with five touchdowns and an interception, in wins against Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas. The Wethersfield, Conn., native also has been sacked just three times.
Murphy ranks third in the SEC in passing efficiency, improving his numbers with every game. Not since Tebow's final three games has any Florida quarterback been as productive as Murphy over a three-game stretch.
His next start — Saturday at 10th-ranked LSU (5-1, 2-1) — should be more telling than the others. It's on the road, in front of hostile fans and against a tradition-rich program that puts defensive player after defensive player in the NFL.
Coaches and teammates rave about Murphy's calm, even-keel demeanor, calling it the key to his three-week success. But how much of an asset will it be against the Tigers?
"We're going to find out," offensive coordinator Brent Pease said. "I don't see him getting flustered. He's demanding of himself. He's demanding of what he wants from coaches, too. And he's demanding from his teammates. He's stepping up to be a leader more every time. I like what he's doing. I like how he's approaching everything and still trying to make himself better.
"The biggest thing when you get in a spot like he's in is to still remain humble."
Murphy has handled all the attention and praise as well as he has the pressure of being thrown in the starting lineup: He barely flinched.
And he seems to be improving with every snap.
He completed 16 of 22 passes for 240 yards and three touchdowns — all career highs — in a 30-10 victory against Arkansas on Saturday night. He escaped several near sacks, showing a knack for feeling pressure and avoiding rushers, and still kept his head up and eyes fixed on receivers.
"When I go back and watch film, sometimes I ask myself how did I get out of that?" Murphy said.
Murphy's path to Florida has been well documented. He had offers from Connecticut, Syracuse and Temple in 2009 when he decided to send his high school highlights to former Florida coach Urban Meyer. He was invited to visit and then offered a scholarship.
Nothing else was as easy.
Murphy spent three seasons on the sideline, sitting the bench behind John Brantley, Driskel and Jacoby Brissett. Even tight end Jordan Reed and versatile receiver Trey Burton got QB repetitions ahead of him. But Murphy landed in the spotlight thanks to Brissett's transfer and Driskel's broken leg.
Murphy has seized his opportunity — even if it's coming as a "game manager."
"I don't take any offense to it," Murphy said. "Since I've been here, Alabama has been one of the top teams. Watching them, I try to copycat A.J. McCarron a little bit. He does a great job managing the game and taking what the defense gives him. His third year being the starter, he's making a lot of plays and put the team on his back a few times.
"It all starts with being a game manager. I don't take any offense to that. I just try to get first downs and move the ball."

Under the current method for estimating final net overseas migration this term is based on a traveller's actual duration of stay or absence using the '12/16 month rule'. Preliminary NOM estimates are modelled on patterns of traveller behaviours observed in final NOM estimates for the same period one year earlier.
Other Territories
Following the 1992 amendments to the Acts Interpretation Act to include the Indian Ocean Territories of Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands as part of geographic Australia, another category at the state and territory level has been created, known as Other Territories. Other Territories include Jervis Bay Territory, previously included with the Australian Capital Territory, as well as Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
Population growth
For Australia, population growth is the sum of natural increase and net overseas migration. For states and territories, population growth also includes net interstate migration. After the census, intercensal population growth also includes an allowance for intercensal discrepancy.
Remoteness Area
Within the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC), the Remoteness classification comprises five categories, each of which identifies a (non-contiguous) region in Australia being a grouping of Collection Districts (CDs) sharing a particular degree of remoteness. The degrees of remoteness range from 'highly accessible' (i.e. major cities) to 'very remote'.
The degree of remoteness of each CD was determined using the Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA). CDs have then been grouped into the appropriate category of Remoteness to form non-contiguous areas within each state.
For more information, refer to Statistical Geography Volume 1: Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) 2006 (cat. no. 1216.0) and Information Paper: ABS Views on Remoteness, 2001 (cat. no. 1244.0).
Sex ratio
The sex ratio relates to the number of males per 100 females.
Standardised death rate (SDR)
Standardised death rates (SDRs) enable the comparison of death rates between populations with different age structures by relating them to a standard population. The ABS standard populations relate to the years ending in 1 (e.g. 2001). The current standard population is all persons in the Australian population at 30 June 2001. SDRs are expressed per 1,000 or 100,000 persons. There are two methods of calculating standardised death rates:
Wherever used, the definition adopted is indicated.
Standardised mortality ratio
The ratio of the actual number of deaths in the population under study and the number of deaths which would have occurred if the population under study had experienced the age-specific death rates of the standard population (see also Standardised death rate, the indirect method).
State or territory of registration
State or territory of registration refers to the state or territory in which the event was registered.
State or territory of usual residence
State or territory of usual residence refers to the state or territory of usual residence of:
Statistical Division (SD)
Statistical Divisions (SDs) consist of one or more Statistical Subdivisions (SSD). The divisions are designed to be relatively homogeneous regions characterised by identifiable social and economic units within the region, under the unifying influence of one or more major towns or cities. Further information concerning SDs is contained in Australian Standard Geographic Classification (ASGC) (cat. no. 1216.0).
Statistical Local Area (SLA)
Statistical Local Areas (SLAs) are, in most cases, identical with, or have been formed from a division of, whole Local Government Areas (LGAs). In other cases, they represent unincorporated areas. In aggregate, SLAs cover the whole of a state or territory without gaps or overlaps. In some cases, legal LGAs overlap statistical subdivision boundaries and therefore comprise two or three SLAs (Part A, Part B and, if necessary, Part C). Further information concerning SDs is contained in Australian Standard Geographic Classification (ASGC) (cat. no. 1216.0).
Statistical Subdivision (SSD)
In aggregate, Statistical Subdivisions (SSD) cover the whole of Australia without gaps or overlaps. They are defined as socially and economically homogeneous regions characterised by identifiable links between the inhabitants. In the non-urban areas an SSD is characterised by identifiable links between the economic units within the region, under the unifying influence of one or more major towns or cities. Further information concerning SSDs is contained in Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) (cat. no. 1216.0).
Usual residence
Usual residence within Australia refers to that address at which the person has lived or intends to live for a total of six months or more in a given reference year.
Year of occurrence
Data presented on year of occurrence basis relate to the date the death occurred.

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Robert Hunter
A new(ish) Robert Hunter song, first played during his solo set on 31 December 2003. It is a song he has been working on for some years - see below for background.
These seem to be the 'official' lyrics, posted on dead.net:
Standing on the corner at the break of dayNotes
I thought I heard Buddy Bolden say
Live for tomorrow and to hell with today
Who do you think you are anyway?
Walking on water when you can't even swim
Sawing the branch when you're out on a limb (note 1)
God damn, Buddy, whatcha talking about?
Dig down deep and let the song roll out (note 2)
There's nothing in the lock but the key to your room
Nothing inside but the ghost of perfume
A photograph of Jesus, a mop and a broom
The toll of a bell I don't know for whom
Hangs in the silence like an echo of doom
Black paper roses to brighten the gloom (note 3)
A note on the mantle, for me I presume
Saying please take care of the key
The key to my room
Said thank you for the key to your room
I just want to thank you
Once more for the key to your room
You didn't move nothing, you let it move you
You left your number, I couldn't get through
I'll call you again if I can scrape up the change
However unusual it isn't so strange
To visit the scene of a previous crime
And know it for the first and maybe last time
I remember a hell of a lot
But it's hard to believe how much I forgot
For all the emotions whose price tag is lost (note 4)
Smothered like flames or encoded in frost
Free as it seemed from profit and loss
Inside we both know what it cost
Cost everything but the sink and the floor (note 4)
So wash your face and roll out the door
Do what you gotta do and do it some more
And try to believe in what you're doing it for
Maybe your intentions weren't all that clear (note 5)
Or maybe I just didn't want to hear
Words of consolation shouted in my ear
However well meant, however sincere
There were complications, it didn't look good
In retrospect I might have misunderstood
On a whole other page as I usually am (note 6)
It could be I really didn't give a damn
Still undecided at the close of the day
If it could've played any other way
Did we execute an original crime
Or was it just another sign of the time?
Some insist it was nothing at all
But a patch of shade between the rock and the wall
Others see acres of love in full bloom
A boxful of matches and the key
The key to your room
Thank you for the key to your room
I just want to thank you
For the key you your room
Nothing to communicate but your own pain
One day's tears, another day's rain
Maybe the music by which you express
The things that hurt will heal you the best
Indian Summer on the porches of Fall
Shed a little bit kinder light on it all
Maybe not much and maybe not long
That's about all you can ask from a song
So thank you for the key to your room
And everything in it the flames now consume
Spread from the candle I lit for to see
And just knocked over accidentally
I don't guess I'll be coming back here (note 7)
But I'll keep the key as a souvenier
Gotta go now but I just want to say
Thanks for everything you didn't betray
And thank you for the key to your room
I just want to thank you
Once more for the key
The key to your room
Thank you for the key to your room
I just want to thank you
Once more for the key to your room
3 September 2003An earlier version of "Key To Your Room " appears in Robert Hunter's collected lyrics in "Box Of Rain." It lists it as having music by Pete Sears, though the passages from Hunter's journal seem to indicate that the music for the present version is written by Hunter himself.
Sitting down to work on "Key to Your Room" (which I've been at, off and on, for five years) I found myself writing another sixteen lines which is the last thing the song needed because it already seemed daunting at sixty four lines plus refrain. Well, let the song decide what it wants.
11 September 2003
Omitted the new sixteen lines from "Key to Your Room". They weren't bad, but they didn't need to be there.
23 October 2003
"Key to your Room" still developing. Now that I have all the chords, words, and a prolix arrangement it occurred to me it would be nice if it also had a melody. I know that's bass ackwards but it's how I write, so shut up.
4 January 2004
As for my own opening set, like most sets when I haven't performed for awhile, it was pretty rough and ready. I dared to do "Key To Your Room" and managed to turn it inside out, not in a good way. With a song a lyrically dense and chordally complex as that, a certain automaticity has to set in in order to play the changes correctly while remembering and interpreting the lyrics. Once begun, "he who rides the tiger fears only to dismount" as my carefully constructed arrangement came crashing around my ears.
23 February 2004
Still faithfully (or doggedly DOHYWTLAI*) at work on "Key to Your Room" if at a slacker pace than before. Now that I've got the words finished and learned (ho ho) I can put full attention on the arrangement. I'll tell you one thing for nothing: I've spent more time writing & composing "Key" than many songwriters have spent writing their whole repertoire. This is not to say that a song jotted down on an envelope in the elevator may not be a better song. Far from it. That's not the point. The point is to spend a great deal of life in the activity of making songs, primarily because it's my pleasure but also because it's my discipline, my living, and, in some hard to pin down sense, duty. Duty to whom? Go figure. Doesn't do to get too precise about these things. Some motivating factors should be left approximately vacuous.
*depending on how you want to look at it
Thank you
for the smoke and perfume
Thank you
for the key to your room
Thank you so much
for the things you presume
in this lily-white season
of blood on the moon
Summing it up
I'd just like to say
You had it in hand
You threw it away
This was your flower
This was your day
Nothing much happened
Did you want it that way?
One more time
I just wanta say
thanks for everything
you didn't betray
Thank you so much
for nothing at all--the
empty space between
myself and the wall
Thanks for the picture
the color cartoon
of a star-studded stripper
with oil on the plume
thanks for the latitudes
we never crossed
contented with attitudes
that others exhaust
for all the emotions
whose price tag is lost
the hot breath of oceans
encoded in frost
Free as it seemed
from both profit and loss
Somewhere inside
we both know what it cost
Thanks most of all
for the key to your room
and all that came with it
which the flames now consume
Confusion and chaos
fashion and fad
You either step back
or go stark raving mad
It isn't so evil
just kinda bad
You didn't get angry
Just kinda sad
You didn't move nothing
You let it move you
Thanks for your number
I couldn't get through
I'll call you again
if I can scrape up the change
However unusual
it isn't so strange
to visit the scene
of a previous crime
know it for the first
and maybe last time
Thanks for the favor
of you in full bloom
And once more thanks
for the key to your room
Key to your room
Key to your room
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thanks for your light
at the dark of the moon
and thank you
for the
key to your room

The J2EE platform does not include any validation features. This leaves many organizations to craft their own validation mechanisms, often incomplete, flawed, and inefficient.
OWASP Stinger 2.x is an implementation of the design principals detailed in the OWASP Validation Documentation. The basic idea is to define validation rules for the cookies and parameters of an HTTP request. These rules are specified in simple XML files using the 'Security Validation Definition Language.' Furthermore, Stinger 2 is implemented as a J2EE filter such that all HTTP traffic is validated before it is ever processed by the web application.

Poem of Murder
Elko, Nevada - 1896
the dark early hours of Friday, October 30, 1896, Cherokee Charlie Snead
(rhymes with dead, no pun intended) was brutally murdered outside the Commercial
Hotel. Not much is known about Charlie. He was a cowhand with "Hoc" Mason
out at Deeth who reported that Charlie was a half breed Cherokee who came
to Elko a couple of days before his deadly rendevous with the Grim Reaper.
He had a good bit of back pay in his jeans.
Death of Chorokee Charlie Snead at
Elko Nev. (1897)
In the silver State Nevada, in the Village
of Elko,
John C. "Broncho Jack" Mulcahy was born December 13, 1867, in New York
City. He was orphaned at age five and he was forced to live with a relative
who neglected and mistreated him. Jack hawked newspapers on street corners,
shined shoes and did just abut any job that would put a few cents in his
pocket. At the tender age of ten he moved to Chicago and was on his own.
Around 1884, he traveled west with a wagon train.
Howard Hickson
Notes: This story
comes from an article I wrote in the Northeastern Nevada Historical
Society Quarterly, Number 87-1, Winter 1987. Research came from two
of Jack's grandsons, Thomas and John Mulcahy, both of Las Vegas, Nevada.
My sincere thanks to them for sharing their grandfather's life. They sent
poems from Jack's original poem book, news clippings, a couple of letters
written by Broncho Jack, and a photogrpah. Additional information was from
the Elko Independent, November 1 and 7, 1896.

RFID Metro Cards in Santiago, Chile
As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm currently in Santiago, Chile. One of the cool uses of wireless technology they have here is that their cards for accessing the Metro system are RFID-based, and pre-paid. You purchase the card at a kiosk, then you can refill it over and over. There are small terminals for adding money to them all over the place, including in all Metro (subway) stations, and next to a lot of bank-based ATMs.
I particularly like the fact that on the buses here, the only way to pay is via bip! card. If you try to get on and pay cash, they tell you to get off. It means that boarding the bus happens at the fastest possible speed, because there's no pause required for people to walk past and "bip" their card on the way through.

Advertising wars are so much fun! Late yesterday, Motorola took another swipe at smartphone rival Apple, capitalizing on the free-case fiasco of the iPhone 4. In a Facebook post, the company displayed a poster that read:
At Motorola, we believe a customer shouldn't have to dress up their phone for it to work properly. That's why the DROID X comes with a dual antenna design. The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like to make crystal clear calls without a bulky phone jacket. For us it's just one of those things that comes as a given when you've been making mobile phones for over 30 years.
Burn. The first ad Motorola put out was a little tongue and cheek, however this one is a sharp stick to the eye… a very funny sharp stick to the eye. We've got the full-sized image after the bounce.
