ADNAN OKTAR: Now look. We can see how the word "son" or "son of God" passed to Christianity from the Torah, the Old Testament which Christians do regard as a divine book. You know they abide by the Torah. The Old Testament and the New Testament. Have a look at how it appears in the Old Testament;
1 Chronicles 28:6 "He [the Lord] said to me: 'Solomon your son is the one who will build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him to be My son, and I will be his Father." This is a figurative meaning. All the Jews know. I will be his father means I will protect him. "Son" means "My servant," and it is used in that sense.
Psalm 89:26-29 Look, it says, "He will call out to Me, 'You are my Father'". He says he will address Allah in that way. By "Father," he does not mean father in the classic sense we understand it, he uses it in the sense of a Creator, Who gives food, Who provides everything necessary for survival, as an expression of devotion to Allah, but not in the sense of a physical father. It is a figurative term. All Jews know this. "He will call out to Me, 'You are my Father.. And I will appoint him to be My firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.'" Look, "My first son", "the most exalted of the kings of the earth". Almighty Allah says this of the Prophet David (pbuh). Look, "'And I will appoint him to be My firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.'" Words of praise from Allah. All Jews know this. In the plain sense, Jews regard this as polytheism. This is a figurative meaning.
In reference to the King Messiah (the Mahdi). Psalm 2:7-9 "I will proclaim the Lord's decree:" I will announce the decrees of Allah. "He said to me, 'You are My son.." Allah calls the King Messiah (the Mahdi) "you are My son." So that is a word of praise with which Almighty Allah expresses His love for him. "You are My son," meaning "I have created you I am protecting you". ".. today I have become your Father." Meaning "I have become the Father Who protects and watches over you." This is in the spiritual sense, not in the physical sense, not in the sense of father who has a relationship with a woman, not in the sense of a physical mother-father relation. "Ask Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession." Almighty Allah says to Mahdi that He will make him reign all over the world. "You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery." So Allah says in the Torah to the Mahdi [King Mashiach] that he will dash the unbelievers, the perverts to pieces like pottery. Just like the way we talk about the way we have crashed the intellectual system of the dajjal (antichrist).
Look it says in Malachi 3:17 "On the day when I act," Meaning ;" On the day when I produce My community, the Muslims," says the Lord Almighty. "..they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him" You see where the father-son relationship comes from. "..I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him." The word "father" in the Torah is used to emphasize the compassion of a father, the protection of a father.
My brothers, some of our Christian brothers interpret this in another way, as if it referred to a real son. Yet Allah is unfettered by such a concept. But if you mean it in a figurative sense, then of course we fully respect that and you will have spoken the exact truth. If you mean it in the sense of a manifestation of Allah or in the figurative sense employed here in the Torah, that is fine as well. Isn't it? Insha'Allah.
For example, in Proverbs 3: 11-12. "My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline.." Allah's discipline.. "and do not resent His rebuke, " For instance Allah may give a disease, a kind of sickness. ".. because the Lord disciplines those He loves, as a Father the son He delights in." So it says, just like a father feeling love for his son, He might rebuke His sun in order to discipline him when necessary. This being a father and son is figurative. It is a simile. So this is a term used to emphasize love, closeness and protection. That is why we feel affection for our Christian brothers, because we know that they will look at things from this perspective. But this obviously does not refer a father-son relationship like a relationship involving a woman, may Allah forbid. Insha'Allah.

click on the iPod Nano icon.
On that first page in the right pane, you will see the backup and sync options
So I recently lost all my music and luckily had backed it up some time ago so I have downloaded all my music and wish to back it up again. The problem is I cannot find out how. I have plugged in my ipod and see the Ipod nano on the top. Right under this is 'options' but no back up option. I checked under the tabs at the top - summary, music, podcasts, photos and info but none contain a back up option. In addition, on the side bar, I right clicked my device but even there no back up option is offered. Any ideas?

text: Natural Gas Futures Rise to Six-Week High Amid U.S. Cold Snap November 25, 2013 09:30 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Nov. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Natural gas futures rose to a six- week high in New York as a blast of wintry U.S. weather stoked demand for the heating fuel. Gas gained 0.6 percent as MDA Weather Services in Gaithersburg, Maryland, predicted a cold snap in the eastern two-thirds of the lower 48 states this week. Temperatures will moderate from the Midwest to California next week while below- normal-readings linger on the East Coast through Dec. 9. "We finally got a taste of a good, old-fashioned winter," said Tom Saal, senior vice president of energy trading at FCStone Latin America LLC in Miami. "Right now, the forecasts are for the cold weather to stick around for a while." Natural gas for December delivery rose 2.1 cents to $3.789 per million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest settlement price since Oct. 15. Trading volume was 22 percent above the 100-day average at 2:47 p.m. Gas has gained 13 percent this year. December gas expires tomorrow. The more actively traded January contract rose 3.1 cents, or 0.8 percent, to $3.842. The discount of December to January widened 1 cent to 5.3 cents. December $3.80 calls were the most active options in electronic trading. They were 2.6 cents lower at 0.1 cent per million Btu on volume of 1,281 at 2:49 p.m. Calls accounted for 48 percent of trading volume. December options expired today. The low temperature in Chicago on Dec. 6 may be 14 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 10 Celsius), 12 below normal, according to AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania. New York's low will drop to 24 degrees, 11 lower than average, while Houston may be 10 below normal at 38 degrees. Chicago Cold About 49 percent of U.S. households use gas for heating and 39 percent rely on electricity, according to the Energy Information Administration, the Energy Department's statistical arm. The heating season extends from November through March. Gas stockpiles probably fell by 1 billion cubic feet last week, according to an early estimate from Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citi Futures Perspective in New York, in a note to clients. Dominick Chirichella, senior partner at the Energy Management Institute in New York, expects to see a decline of 5 billion. The five-year average for the period is a drop of 15 billion, EIA data show. The EIA is scheduled to release its weekly gas inventory report a day early on Nov. 27 because the government will be closed the next day for the Thanksgiving holiday. Supply Report While mild weather will contribute to the small decline in stockpiles last week, a blast of cold weather this week means the withdrawal rate could jump to 120 billion cubic feet in the following report, said Aaron Calder, senior market analyst at Gelber & Associates in Houston. U.S. inventories fell by 45 billion cubic feet in the week ended Nov. 15 to 3.789 trillion in the first decline of this heating season, EIA data show. The five-year average for the period was a drop of 2 billion. A surplus to the average narrowed to 0.4 percent from 1.5 percent the previous week, the least since a deficit of 1.2 percent on July 26. The weather-driven rally in gas is being capped by competition from coal as a cheaper source of fuel to produce electricity and "strong technical resistance" at $3.85, Calder said. Hedge funds became the least bullish on natural gas in 10 months, missing a rally to a five-week high as forecasts for Thanksgiving-week storms and below-normal temperatures signaled stronger demand, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's Nov. 22 Commitments of Traders report showed. Money managers cut net-long positions by 3,722, or 3.9 percent, to 92,493 futures equivalents in the week ended Nov. 19, the report showed. It was the lowest level since Jan. 15. --With assistance from Asjylyn Loder in New York. Editors: Bill Banker, David Marino To contact the reporter on this story: Naureen S.

What Exactly Makes A Pop-Up Mall A Pop-Up Mall? On Second Thought, Who Cares?
from the ownership-culture-gone-mad dept
The City Mall Restart project is being threatened with legal action after being accused of copying a "pop-up mall" in London.And if, like me, you're wondering what exactly a "pop-up mall" might be – does it leap out of the earth as you approach, perhaps? - here's the basic idea:
Director of the London Boxpark development Roger Wade emailed City Mall Restart organisers accusing them of a "blatant breach of the Boxpark intellectual property rights".
"Boxpark has now instructed legal action against the owners of City Mall – Pop Up Mall for intellectual property rights infringement," he said.
But City Mall organisers have hit back, claiming Boxpark was being "precious" and there were no similarities between the projects.
The threat could not have come at worse time for Christchurch organisers, with City Mall scheduled to reopen on Saturday, marking the first return of retail to central Christchurch since the February 22 earthquake.
The temporary shopping centre has been described as a "pop-up mall" made out of 60 shipping containers converted into 27 shops, including two cafes> But the people behind the New Zealand pop-up mall claim there are key differences between this and the London pop-up mall:
However, he denied similarities between the projects, with the City Mall development divided into two horseshoe precincts while Boxpark was essentially a giant box with a cafe on the top.So the deep philosophical questions come down to these. Wherein lies the Platonic essence of a pop-up mall? Is the use of containers enough to generate the mall's pop-upness, or is their arrangement important too? And finally, and perhaps most importantly, is a world in which a city devastated by an earthquake has to worry about such things still sane in any meaningful sense?
"It will be very hard to say it's a copy because it doesn't look anything like Boxpark. The only thing that aligns these things together is they both use containers."

Smoking affects your heart's arteries. These arteries are called coronary (KOR-un-AIR-ee) arteries. When a coronary artery is blocked, you can get chest pain, or angina (anj-EYE-nuh).
When a blocked artery deprives part of the heart muscle of blood flow, you have a heart attack. Your heart muscle becomes damaged. Most cardiovascular illness and death is due to diseased arteries of the heart.
Smoking can lead to stroke. A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked. The brain then cannot get enough oxygen. Brain cells begin to die, making parts of your body unable to function. A stroke is sometimes called a brain attack.
Another problem involves your body's main artery. This artery is called the aorta (ay-OR-ta). Smoking can make the aorta widen and leak, damaging your body and causing death. This is called an aortic (ay-OR-tik) aneurysm (AN-your-izm).
Sudden death happens unexpectedly, with few or no symptoms. Evidence shows that sudden death is related to smoking.
Smoking can lead to artery disease in the legs. The arteries in the legs are called peripheral (per-IF-er-al) arteries. When the arteries in your legs become narrowed or blocked, walking becomes painful and difficult. Non-healing sores may develop over time from peripheral artery disease.
Below is a list of major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Some risks you can change, and some you cannot change. Risk factors you can change are:
Cigarette smoking added to other major risk factors gives you much greater risk for cardiovascular disease. When you quit smoking, you lower your risk.
Cigarette smoke contains many chemicals that enter your body. Two of these substances are nicotine (NIK-uh-TEEN) and carbon monoxide (muh-NOK-side). They have a big effect on your heart and blood vessels.
When you quit smoking, you get real benefits. After you stop smoking, your risk of cardiovascular disease starts to decrease almost at once. This is true no matter what your age.
It's never too late to quit smoking.
When people are smoking, the air around them is polluted with tobacco smoke. This is called second-hand smoke. Second-hand smoke comes from two sources. The burning end of the cigarette produces smoke, and the smoker exhales smoke.
When you are near a person smoking, you breathe second-hand smoke. Evidence shows that second-hand smoke can increase risk of heart and blood vessel disease. An estimated 39,000 people die each year from cardiovascular disease caused by second-hand smoke.
Stay away from second-hand smoke.

Cut to about 30 years down the line and you see something dramatically different; and yet dramatically similar. Despite the huge hype that surrounded the Congress campaign led by Rahul Gandhi, it is Akhilesh Yadav of a regional outfit called Samajwadi Party who has won. In 1982, when Rajiv Gandhi took over the reins, Tamil Nadu was the only major state where the Congress party had been pushed to the sidelines as a fringe player dependent on outfits like AIADMK for votes and seats. In 2012, as Rahul Gandhi takes over the party, Congress has become a fringe player in almost one third of India.
Many political pundits and scholars are ascribing many reasons for this latest series of defeats confronting the Congress. Quite a few have gone on to say that the charisma of the Gandhi dynasty is irrevocably fading away. Some uncharitable analysts have even started questioning the credentials of the Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi to lead the party during 2014 Lok Sabha elections. I personally think it is too simplistic to start drawing such conclusions every time an election happens. In 2009, when the Congress won more than 200 seats in Lok Sabha elections and about 21 seats in Uttar Pradesh, everyone hailed Rahul Gandhi as a miracle man. Now, with such heavy defeats in the assembly elections, the same sets of people are writing off Rahul Gandhi.

In 1984, Ron Sider challenged the Mennonite World Conference in Strasbourg, France with these words:
Over the past 450 years of martyrdom, immigration and missionary proclamation, the God of shalom has been preparing us Anabaptists for a late twentieth-century rendezvous with history. The next twenty years will be the most dangerousãand perhaps the most vicious and violentãin human history. If we are ready to embrace the cross, Godãs reconciling people will profoundly impact the course of world history . . . This could be our finest hour. Never has the world needed our message more. Never has it been more open. Now is the time to risk everything for our belief that Jesus is the way to peace. If we still believe it, now is the time to live what we have spoken.
ãWe must take up our cross and follow Jesus to Golgotha. We must be prepared to die by the thousands. Those who believed in peace through the sword have not hesitated to die. Proudly, courageously, they gave their lives. Again and again, they sacrificed bright futures to the tragic illusion that one more righteous crusade would bring peace in their time, and they laid down their lives by the millions.
ãUnless we . . . are ready to start to die by the thousands in dramatic vigorous new exploits for peace and justice, we should sadly confess that we never really meant what we said, and we dare never whisper another word about pacifism to our sisters and brothers in those desperate lands filled with injustice. Unless we are ready to die developing new nonviolent attempts to reduce conflict, we should confess that we never really meant that the cross was an alternative to the sword . . .
In the mid-1980s, members of the historic peace churches were seeking new ways to express their faith. ãLow-intensityã wars had broken out in many places including Central America, and the U. S. government usually sided with the elite groups and oppressive systems in these conflicts. Also emerging in that period was a consciousness that by using the creative energy of organized nonviolence, ordinary people could stand in front of the weapons and encourage less violent ways for change to happen.
Thus, Siderãs call contributed to vigorous conversations in churches across North America. In 1986, these discussions culminated in a late fall gathering at the suburban Chicago retreat center owned by the Society of the Divine Word in Techny. God granted a spirit of unity to the gathering of 100 persons and a call went out for the formation of Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT.) Representative denominations appointed a steering committee to hammer out basic directions and invited Gene Stoltzfus to begin work as the first staff person in 1988.
By 1992, CPT had put together a series of delegations to Haiti, Iraq, and the West Bank, but members of the organization still felt the need for trained full-time corps of people to work in crisis regions. The Steering Committee thus set a goal to develop a Christian Peacemaker Corps of twelve full-time personsãwho would receive stipends comparable to those provided by other voluntary service organizations -- with a much larger number of reservists who would donate their time and resources. By the end of 1998, when the organization finally reached the goal of a twelve-person Christian Peacemaker Corps, it had set-up and staffed violence-reduction projects in: Haiti; Washington, DC; Richmond, VA; Hebron, West Bank; Bosnia; and Chiapas, Mexico.
Word spread about CPTãs creative work in the field of nonviolence. Groups in urban areas of North America, Native peoples, and numerous third or fourth world churches contacted CPT to explore the possibility of setting up their own regional CPT groups of workers trained in violence reduction. During a 2000 full timersã retreat at CPTer Cliff Kindyãs Joyfield Farm, CPT full timers and key constituents agreed that CPT should work toward the development of local groups of trained reservists. To accomplish this objective, CPT would adapt the three and a half week training component of CPT for local settings to connect with traditional styles of nonviolent change present in every culture. As of 2007, CPT has regional groups in: Cleveland; the Boulder, CO, area; Washington, DC; the Winnipeg, MB area; Northern Indiana, and southern Ontario. Regional groups are developing in the United Kingdom and Minnesota.
The participants at the Joyfield Farm retreat hoped that the regional groups would help CPT deploy larger teams to crisis regions. However, the CPT experience has demonstrated that small teams of four to six people trained in the skills of documentation, observation, nonviolent intervention, and various ministries of presence can make a striking difference in explosive situations.
Initially sponsored by the two largest North American Mennonite denominations and the Church of the Brethren, as of 2007 CPT has gained the additional sponsorship of the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America, the Congregation of St. Basil (Basilians), Every Church a Peace Church, Friends United Meeting, On Earth Peace, and the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship. Most of CPTãs support comes from church members, congregations, and Friends meetings. As others join this movement to find ways for justice to happen without killing, they will bring their own special gifts to build the work.
A larger, more ecumenical CPT will inspire Christians from all over the world to lay aside the weapons of destruction usually controlled by the mighty. With Jesusã help and inspiration, these CPTers will show that the power for transforming conflicts is a miracle available to all of humankind.

Such an "invalid" document:

An interesting "special case" is tables. By the DOM specification they must have

Another way to explore the DOM is to use the browser developer tools. Actually, that's what we use when developing.
To do so, open the web-page elks.html , turn on the browser developer tools and switch to the Elements tab.
It should look like this:
You can see the DOM, click on elements, see their details and so on.
Please note that the DOM structure in developer tools is simplified. Text nodes are shown just as text. And there are no "blank" (space only) text nodes at all. That's fine, because most of the time we are interested in element nodes.
Clicking the button in the left-upper corner allows to choose a node from the webpage using a mouse (or other pointer devices) and "inspect" it (scroll to it in the Elements tab). This works great when we have a huge HTML page (and corresponding huge DOM) and would like to see the place of a particual element in it.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-Jessica Oleinik led a potent offensive attack, scoring four goals, as MIT opened its 2009 campaign with a win over New England College, 7-2, in non-conference field hockey action Tuesday night. The Engineers snapped a three-game losing streak to the Pilgrims and won their season opener for the first time since 2005.
Sophomore Anna Teruya, the team's second leading scorer a year ago, put Tech on the board just over nine minutes into the contest off a shot from the top of the circle following an MIT penalty corner. Oleinik began her onslaught just four minutes later pushing her own rebound past NEC goalkeeper Mary Roux. Danielle Smith found the back of the net later in the half to give MIT a quick 3-0 lead. Emily Kuchta responded with her first of two scores, on a feed from Samantha Escobar, with just over nine minutes to go in the period to get the Pilgrims into the scoring column.
Oleinik would quickly seize control of the game from there, tallying three unanswered goals in 15 minutes. Her second marker came with just over one minute remaining before the half and sent the Cardinal and Grey into the locker room with a 4-1 advantage. Oleinik capped off her productive night, scoring two more times in a span of just 1:16, as the MIT lead swelled to 6-1. Teruya and Kuchta would each add their second goal of the night to round out the scoring.
Keri Dixon had a solid night in net for the Engineers, stopping five shots while allowing just two goals. Roux made 11 saves in the losing effort.
MIT returns to action on Thursday, September 3 when it hosts Gordon College at 4:00 p.m., its second of five-straight home games to start the season. New England College will play Saturday at Clark at 1:00 p.m.

Hi, my name's Franklin. I teach knitting for a living. No, seriously. Next year I'll be going to at least a dozen or so fiber festivals, large and small, and I'll be paid to go to every one of them. That's my job. I fly to interesting places where knitters have gathered, and spend entire days talking to them about knitting as we play with pretty yarn. Then I get money.
This is every bit as much an ordeal as you might imagine, which is to say not very much of an ordeal. Pop divas and people who review world-class spa resorts for a living may have a slightly fancier good time at work, but I don't have to date male models or pretend I like eating watercress and tofu for dinner, so it all evens out.
No fleece is without dung tags, though, and when knitting teachers gather, stories fly about the occasional student who is, to use a diplomatic adjective, challenging. There are remarkably few of them, given the size of the knitting community. However, once encountered they are never forgotten.
This, of course, is the flipside of the conversations I recall from my days on the other side of the sample swatch. I'd huddle with my friends after classes had ended and compare teachers. "She was wonderful!" I'd shriek, brandishing my class project like a trophy. "How was yours?" Usually this drew a similar exclamation of delight. Sometimes, though, there'd be pursed lips and a quick, silent shake of the head.
What's amazing is how often the same ten knitters crop up in these chitchats, and how reliably they cause smoke to issue forth from the ears of those who have encountered them. I've put together a field guide, in case you'd like to keep an eye out.
The descriptions are drawn from the collective experience of several dozen knitters who have been kind enough to share their experiences with me. Names have been changed, but you'll know 'em when you see 'em. Trust me.
Ethel the Unready: Homework? What homework? Ethel usually insists that nobody told her that preparation was necessary for the class, though the other nineteen students got the message.But on occasion she admits that she just couldn't be bothered to do it. She casts on for the first of the seven required swatches just as the lesson begins, then gives up halfway through to sit and sigh heavily at the unfairness of it all.
When asked how the class was, she will tell others it was impossible to follow.
Teacher's Little Helper: He has paid to take the class, and so is technically a student. Yet he can't resist offering his own class-within-a-class, refuting every point the teacher makes with a counterpoint of his own. It doesn't matter if the teacher has devoted twenty years of her life to a particular technique and published three books about it; Little Helper saw a YouTube video last week that knocks all that on its ear.
When friends ask if he enjoyed the class, Little Helper replies with confidence that he didn't learn a thing.
The Social Butterfly: This animated, irrepressible creature considers the teacher to be the equivalent of a smooth jazz quartet in a smoky lounge—mostly background noise, but nice to listen to when you run out of things to say. Which she never does. Butterflies often flock together, and will announce excitedly that this class is their first chance to catch up since they left each other for dead on a battlefield forty years ago. Any student seated near one or more butterflies had better know how to lip-read because nothing the teacher says is going to make it through the wall of sound.
When asked what she thought of the class, the Butterfly will say the teacher is very full of herself because she kept shushing everybody.
Negative Nellie: She knows with fatal certainty that she will never, not even in a million years under the tutelage of a million Elizabeth Zimmermanns, be able to grasp even the most basic concepts the teacher is trying to get across. She signs up for the class anyhow. When the teacher gently offers additional help or explanation, Nellie firmly refuses. Life is futile.
When asked her opinion of the class, she will say it was hopelessly confusing.
The Game Changer: Yes, he knows the class is called "Introduction to East Andalusian Four-Way Intarsia." But he wants to talk about this cabled sock he's knitting. He brought it with him, see? And this part of the pattern doesn't make sense. Can the teacher tell him what he's supposed to be doing with this sock? After class? No, he's busy after class. This will only take a minute. He really needs help with this sock. Right now.
When asked how the class went, the Game Changer will say the teacher doesn't know anything about knitting.
The Divine Presence: She considers eighty dollars a bargain price for the opportunity to spend three hours just being in the same room with her. Offering actual instruction would be overkill. Instead, she may proffer extempore, colorful anecdotes from her fabulous life; or perhaps an "inspirational" slide show of her immortal designs—the patterns for which are (of course) for sale from her booth in the marketplace.
Vaguerella: She's so sorry to be forty minutes late, but she forgot to check the time class was starting. She has handouts, but…wait, where are they? Here they are. Oh, she only has four of them. No matter, the twenty of you can share. Samples? Yes, she has some. Well, one. And it's for a different class. A demonstration? Sure! May she please borrow your needles and yarn?
The Four-Minute Egg: Everything this teacher is prepared to say on the subject fits into the first four minutes of the class. The remaining two hours and fifty-six minutes are spent circulating aimlessly among the students and asking, "So, have you got that?" The students usually have got it, and can spend their free time calculating how much yarn they could have bought if they'd skipped this class and watched a free online video.
Burnt Toast: Precious little is left of this teacher save a handful of charred remains and a suitcase full of samples that are starting to felt. She tired of teaching this class before the end of the Nixon administration, but is so well-known as a expert on the subject that no one will let her give it up. The class isn't bad, exactly; but the poor thing is dead inside. One day she will snap and skewer the entire front row with an extra-long dpn.
The Prison Matron: No. You should have used the toilet before you left home. There will be one five-minute break, and it's twenty minutes away. The doors have been bolted from the outside. You may not leave the classroom to answer your doctor's call about your biopsy results. You may not ask quietly to borrow your neighbor's scissors. You may not slip as if to purl if you have been told to slip as if to knit. You may not cry. Stop that crying right now. Stop it! Stop it!
Franklin Habit is the author of It Itches: A Stash of Knitting Cartoons and proprietor of the popular blog The Panopticon (the-panopticon.blogspot.com). He began as an eager student of knitting, but these days is usually in the teacher's chair. He has never met any of the knitters in this article; he's just heard things, is all.

BERLIN (AP) — German authorities launched dawn raids on the homes of over 200 suspected tax cheats Tuesday, acting on information gleaned from a CD containing the confidential account details of thousands of Swiss bank clients.
The top tax officials in the southwestern state of Rhineland-Palatinate said he expected to net some 500 million euros ($654 million) from the data, which German investigators bought for €4 million ($5.2 million) after deeming it "authentic and of excellent quality."
"This amount is testament to the high criminal energy used to hide capital gains," Carsten Kuehl, the state's finance minister, said in a statement.
Kuehl didn't say who had sold the CD containing the data or which Swiss banks were involved in the case.
But prosecutors in the western city of Koblenz said Tuesday they had opened an investigation against unknown employees of Credit Suisse AG and its subsidiaries Clariden Leu AG and Neue Aargauer Bank. The probe focuses on whether the bank employees helped clients evade taxes and was sparked by the contents of the CD, said prosecutors.
Credit Suisse said it was unaware of the existence of a "tax CD" or a legal investigation against its staff.
Spokesman Marc Dosch said the bank has been warning its German customers for some time to resolve any outstanding tax issues.
"If that doesn't happen we will cut off those clients in the course of the year," Dosch told The Associated Press.
He noted that Credit Suisse came to an agreement with German authorities in 2011 to pay 150 million euros to end tax evasion proceedings against the bank.
Germany has for years been aggressively pursuing people who hide money abroad. But while some of Germany's 16 states have resorted to buying confidential bank data, the country's federal government has been trying to sign an agreement with Switzerland to solve the issue of tax evasion once and for all. Opposition parties have so far blocked the deal, arguing that it amounts to an amnesty for German clients of Swiss banks.
Switzerland and its banks, meanwhile, have condemned the practice of buying account information as tantamount to encouraging theft. Swiss banking secrecy is among the strictest in the world, with harsh penalties for those who break it.

1 I bind unto myself today
the strong name of the Trinity
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me forever,
by power of faith, Christ's incarnation,
his baptism in the Jordan river,
his death on cross for my salvation,
his bursting from the spiced tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom,
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the starlit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
God's eye to watch, God's might to stay,
God's ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
God's hand to guide, God's shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
God's heavenly host to be my guard.
5 Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One and One in Three,
of whom all nature has creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord!

Ryan's Buffet is one of many local businesses to close recently
On Wednesday, Ryan's Buffet and Grill in St. Robert announced that it is permanently closed for business.
Manager Carol White said she was told the restaurant wasn't having any issues with sales and that the restaurant's closure was due to its lease ending, which was enforced by the landlord.
White, who had just moved here from St. Louis two months ago to take over management, said that approximately 20-25 Ryan's employees are now without jobs.
Ryan's is one of several businesses in the area to close in the last two months. Vidies Bistro, Pepper's Bar and Grill, Miller's Grill, and Blockbuster have all closed permanently since October.
Miller's Grill, which is located next to Ryan's, announced it was closed for business on Oct. 28. Miller's Grill owner Jerry Miller said that he felt forced to close the business because of poor sales.
"It didn't work out for us [in St. Robert] with sales. I was absolutely saddened we had to close, and over the years I enjoyed working with the community," Miller said. "It was a beautiful store. It was not an easy decision, but one where we didn't really have a choice."
Miller's Grill opened for business in St. Robert in June 2007. Two other Missouri locations, Houston and Washington, will remain open.
Pepper's Sports Bar and Grill, a locally owned restaurant, also closed Nov. 3.
"I can't even begin to express how truly sad I am about this decision, but feel that it is time to close the doors," general manager Mary Ann Brinkley stated on Facebook.
Vidie's Bistro Express, which was located on the Waynesville Square since October 2012, announced it was closing on Oct. 9. Owners Levi and Brandie Tines said they closed the business due to issues managing both the bistro and their catering business.
"With a heavy heart we are announcing that we are suspending daily operations at our bistro location due to ongoing staff and management issues," Vidies owners Levi and Brandie Tines stated in an announcement.
However, Vidies catering is not affected by this change. The Tines continue to operate their catering business which serves the Ozarks and the Fort Leonard Wood area. Vidies is also offering take-home meals to anyone in the area on the first and 15th of every month.
Blockbuster, which opened its first location in St. Robert in 1989 and moved to its current location in 2000, closed the business for good on Nov. 10.
Long-time store manager Covell Bellamy Jr. said the store is closing due to a combination of sales and its location being too far away from the company's district in St. Louis.
Each of the five businesses do not currently have plans to reopen.

Suggested Capacitors for 3-Terminal Regulators
Any capacitor can do as long as it has good temperature characteristics and frequency characteristics.
Some capacitors have poor temperature characteristics and frequency characteristics.
Therefore, be careful about the characteristics of the capacitor to be used.
|1. Some electrolytic capacitors substantially decrease in capacitance at a low temperature (0 °C or lower).
The specified capacitance must be secured at the temperature at which you use the capacitor.
2. Generally, the capacitance of an electrolytic capacitor is measured at a frequency as low as 100 to 120 Hz. If the frequency rises, the capacitance of some electrolytic capacitors substantially drops.
The 3-terminal regulator oscillates in the vicinity of 1 to 3 MHz.
Therefore, the specified capacitance must be secured at 1 to 3 MHz.
If a capacitor with poor frequency characteristics is used, oscillation must be suppressed
by connecting a capacitor with good high-frequency characteristics in parallel.
Particular caution is required regarding the characteristics of electrolytic capacitors.
In addition, some ceramic capacitors also have poor characteristics. Exercise care in selecting capacitors.
Generally, the characteristics of a tantalum capacitor are stable.
Therefore, use of a tantalum capacitor is recommended in the Data Sheet.
Note that oscillation could also occur when using a capacitor with low ESR (equivalent series resistance) or ESL (equivalent series inductance). It is therefore very important to sufficiently evaluate your system with the capacitor to be used, because the ESR and ESL are affected by temperature and frequency.

(AMGN) The Picks and Shovels (and Levi's) of Biotech
Yesterday marked the 184th birthday of an iconic American businessman – Levi Strauss
My wife worked for Levi Strauss & Co. many years ago. They were a terrific company, with a strong commitment to product quality, their employees and their community. I was so impressed that I remain loyal and almost exclusively buy Levi's when I need a pair of jeans.
As you may be aware, Levi Strauss struck it rich in the California gold rush. But he wasn't one of the poor saps wading through the river hoping to find a giant gold nugget. Rather, he sold durable pants to the poor saps.
When Levi Strauss died in 1902, his estate was worth approximately $6 million – roughly $160 million in today's dollars – likely more than any gold prospector.
His family is now worth many billions of dollars.
Picks, Shovels… and Jeans
Few of the miners actually made any money. The big profits came from people like Strauss who sold the prospectors the tools they needed – the picks, shovels and jeans.
Biotech can be a similarly treacherous field. Great fortunes have been made by investors who metaphorically found gold in the river and picked the right biotech stock. Early shareholders of Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN), Celgene (Nasdaq: CELG) and Biogen (Nasdaq: BIIB) have enjoyed huge profits as their investments have climbed from penny stock status to blue chips near or above $100 per share.
And there are plenty of exciting and promising small cap biotech stocks out there. Some have made incredible advances against difficult-to-treat diseases. Hopefully, in the near future, shareholders will be rewarded as patients' lives are improved.
Though I recommend biotech stocks, an area that I really love is the companies that provide the "picks, shovels and Levi's" to the drug and biotech companies. The companies that sell the tools necessary to conduct research make money regardless of whether the drug is successful.
A Few Examples
Most of these companies are profitable, with positive cash flow. That contrasts with some of the small cap biotech companies that don't even have revenue yet. These "picks and shovels" companies are a way to play the biotech space while still investing in a real business.
For example, Qiagen (Nasdaq: QGEN) has over 500 products ranging from instrumentation kits to DNA cloning systems.
In 2012, it made $1.25 billion in profits or $1.08 per share. It generated $245 million in cash from operations.
Sigma-Aldrich (Nasdaq: SIAL) has 1.3 million customers around the world serving them with 187,000 products like organic chemicals, proteins and human cell lines.
Sigma-Aldrich generates over half a billion in cash flow and $2.6 billion in revenue.
Then there are the DNA sequencing companies like Illumina (Nasdaq: ILMN) and Life Technologies (Nasdaq: LIFE). The companies provide the machines that read DNA. Right now we're only able to analyze a small fraction of the data that can be collected.
It is expected that within 10 years, every cancer patient will have the DNA from his or her tumor sequenced. Think about how much more knowledge we'll have about cancer if we're able to read and understand the DNA from every cancer tumor. Breakthroughs like that are what will likely lead to more effective medicines or perhaps someday even a cure.
Both companies are profitable.
Waters Corp. (NYSE: WAT) also has a wide range of products including peptide separation technologies, metabolite identification systems and even software for analyzing herbal medicines.
Waters generated $1.8 billion in sales in 2012 and nearly half a billion in profit.
There are many ways to strike it rich in the biotech sector. You can get lucky and invest in a small cap company that becomes the next Biogen, or you can act like Levi Strauss and make your money by supplying the speculators with the tools they need.
If you want to invest in a booming sector fueled by an aging population that will demand new therapies, yet be sure your money is going into a business and not a lottery ticket, look at the medical tools and services companies.
If Levi Strauss were alive today, I bet he'd be supplying the biotech sector with innovative gear like he did to the gold miners 150 years ago. Strauss not only made a successful product, he created a template for how to make a fortune off others' speculation.
Good Investing,
Editor's Note: Four years in the making, Marc is finally ready to pull the trigger on what he thinks could be one of his most profitable trades to date. We're talking about one of, if not, the greatest advancement in medicine in the past 150 years. It will completely change the way new drugs are discovered and even created – along with the lives of early investors.

MIAMI, FL --Forecasters say Tropical Storm Michael has formed over the eastern Atlantic Ocean but does not pose a threat to land. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Tuesday morning that Michael was moving slowly toward the north-northwest at about 5 mph (8 kph). Current models showed it staying well out to sea over the next few days.
Michael had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph). It was 1,220 miles (1,963 kilometers) southwest of the Azores.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Leslie was moving very slowly more than 500 miles (805 kilometers) south of Bermuda. That storm's maximum sustained winds Tuesday were near 65 mph (100 kph).
In the Pacific, Tropical Depression John was moving to the northwest more than 400 miles (645 kilometers) off the coast of Baja California.

House Calls: Questioning Cholesterol by Julie Crist, L. Ac.
I should probably preface everything I write with the follow¬ing:"If you are eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) and living the usual American sedentary lifestyle, then you are committing suicide, and the following information will not excuse you from the laws of biology."So, that said, there are two sides to every story, and medicine is no exception. On the one hand, you have the docs who have to look you in the eye when you come gimping in the door. They are moti¬vated by the reality that when someone comes to you asking for help and you try and fail to help them, it feels bad, even if the patient brought this on himself. Most of them really want to fix your problem. It's a high-stress job. I can really relate.Then on the other hand, you have drug companies who want you sick and hooked on their dope for life. They don't want you to get better. They are really excited about feeding you poison that results in a long list of side effects that they can then sell you more drugs for. Yes. Really.Some of you have even noticed that the drugs you take – if they work at all - only work for a while. Then they upgrade you to progressively more expensive, dangerous prescriptions. It's kind of a pyramid scheme.I treat a surprising number of retired medical personnel. Some of these people were RNs. I really listen to what they have to say about the medical industry, because I think that three, four, or five decades of hands-on experience trumps predatory commercial drug company laboratories and a squad of non-clinical egg-headed researchers any day.I was talking to one of these retired nurses and she observed that over the course of her career, acceptable cholesterol levels were gradually dropped to the point where most people who had a cholesterol test would probably fail.That's called moving the goalpost. Cholesterol medication is a multi-billion dollar industry. Although most docs will tell you that it's a given that high cholesterol numbers are dangerous, it's not. This is still a matter of debate – it's actually called the "cholesterol hypothesis" - and guess who is arguing for lots of testing and medication? Drug companies control this conversation in the clinic because they are the largest funders of medical education in the nation. In other words, they donate billions to every med school in the country, so the school that teaches their docs to fill drug com¬pany pockets with the most money will receive the most fund¬ing. Here's how that works: The chapter on cholesterol and heart disease in my college textbook Pathophysiology: Adaptations and Alterations in Function 3d ed. by Bullock and Rosendahl starts out, "Diet is a main factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. In the United States, the intake has been increasingly geared toward consumption of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet." So far, so good, if not badly written. You'd think for $180 they could afford to use the active voice.Then we get, "The American diet has resulted in generally high serum plasma cholesterol levels. Coronary risk is directly related to serum cholesterol: the higher the plasma cholesterol, the greater the risk." These are a couple of really convenient statements to print in a textbook if you make your money peddling drugs. This is also a great example of how the American education system – at all levels – magically turns a theory into a "fact" without having to confirm it first. First you print it in a big (1,237 pages), expensive, official-looking textbook with gold lettering on the front, and then you make the stressed, powerless and insignificant student memorized it, and then you test him on it.So any doc who "goes off the ranch" and implies that the cholesterol hypothesis is flawed must be some left-field nutcase who got his degree out of a Cracker Jacks box and is just trying to make a name for himself, right?Yup, that would probably describe Harlan Krumholz, professor of medicine and cardiologist at the Yale University School of Medicine.A group of "experts" called the Adult Treatment Panel sets your personal cholesterol guidelines. They are reviewing those guidelines later this year, and I have a couple of predictions. One, I bet they drop the numbers again, and two, I bet if you dig into these guys' backgrounds, you will find a drug company in the woodpile.Dr. Krumholz wrote a letter to the panel describing three big problems he has with the whole cholesterol scam (my word, not his).His first issue – and I have to say, this is really an Emperor Has No Clothes moment – is that there is no scientific basis for claiming that using statin (cholesterol-reducing) drugs to lower cholesterol reduces heart disease. There is a huge percentage of patients who take statins to reduce their cholesterol and still have heart disease. Statins do not even reduce cholesterol in everyone who takes them, and, as Dr. Krumholz points out, statistically, LDL levels are a really poor indicator of heart disease risk. What statins do do is reduce inflammation. It's pretty clear by now that chronic inflammation can kill you, or at least make your really sick, and that might be how statins work – reducing inflammation. Problem is, they also offer a boatload of really nasty side effects. Cleaning up your diet and cutting down on sodium will reduce your inflammation without giving you depression, impotence, and "transient global amnesia."His second issue is that no one has studied the safety of dropping your cholesterol like a rock with drugs for decades. We are, of course, reassured that the experts are well on top of all that, but the fact is that drug companies do not ever do decades-long studies because they will be bad for business. Long-term, aggressive drug treatment of diabetes and high blood pressure usually result in premature death, and not in a good way. Two years ago, Baycol – one of those incredibly safe statins – was recalled after it killed 31 people that they know of.Dr. Krumholz's third point is that using cholesterol drugs to prevent heart disease is kind of like bailing out the Titanic with a teaspoon. Treatments to prevent heart disease should be holistic and need to look at ALL the person's risk factors, not just cholesterol. This means that the average American described at the beginning of this article needs to clean up her act in order to prevent heart disease, not just hope that magic drug fairies will excuse her bad habits and gift her with excellent health. Oh – and did I mention that now the drug dealers are pushing for healthy adults with normal cholesterol levels to take statins? Let's just give 'em the drugs up front, since, as all the experts know, most Americans are too stupid and lazy to understand and follow nutritional advice.Right?Julie Crist, L.

Posted: Mar 17, 2010
The Health Law Policy Center at the UH Mānoa William S. Richardson School of Law is hosting a forum entitled "The Future of Health Access in Hawai'i" on April 7 from 5:30-7:00 p.m.in classroom 2. The panel of experts will be moderated by Professor Frances H. Miller, distinguished visiting professor from Boston University.
The outstanding panel will discuss the following key health reform proposals unique to Hawai'i:
- "Hawai'i's Uninsured Population and Insurance Reform," presented by Gerard Russo, UH Mānoa associate professor and chair of the economics department,
- "The Vanishing Physician," presented by Senator Joshua Green, MD, District 3, West Hawai'i, and Medical Director of Hawai'i Independent Physicians Association, and
- "Real Health Reform: Access to Primary Care," presented by Beth Giesting, CEO of Hawai'i Primary Care Association
Deane Neubauer, UH Mānoa professor emeritus of political science, and Barbara Yamashita, DOH Maternal & Child Health Branch Chief, will respond with reflections on political and implementation challenges of health care reform proposals.
"With or without federal reform, we need to understand where we are and what we are facing," explains Hazel Beh, co-director of UH Mānoa's Health Law Policy Center. She added that Hawai'i has been a national leader when it comes to providing health insurance, but with the cost and demand for health care services increasing, we have to be proactive.
The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served between 5-5:30 p.m. RSVP to email@example.com is encouraged. For more information, please call Hazel Beh, (808) 956-6553 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Law School's Health Law Policy Center was established in 2009, with the support of a U.S. Department of Education Noncompetitive grant. The Center provides law and policy research and education aimed at improving health and well-being in Hawai'i.
The Center's current work includes an interdisciplinary graduate course, Health, Law & Poverty, led by Dina Shek, the Center's first Health Law Policy Fellow. This multidisciplinary course examines law and policy issues that have a direct impact on the health and well-being of poor children and families. In partnership with several community health organizations, the Center kicked off the fall semester with a packed-house public lecture by Anthony Iton, MD, JD, MPH, who is the Director of Health for Alameda County, California. This spring the Center welcomed its first Distinguished Visiting Professor, Professor Frances H. Miller of Boston University, one of the foremost experts on American health care law and policy who is also a specialist on comparative health systems.

Chelsea and Manchester City are amongst the clubs to be linked with a move for Sampdoria starlet Mauro Icardi.
The 19-year-old Argentine youth international has been earning rave reviews in Serie 'A' this season, scoring a notable brace in victory at Juventus and four against Pescara in a six-goal thrashing at the end of January.
It's led to clubs from across Europe showing an interest, according to Tuttosport, with the Bianconeri, Napoli, Inter Milan, Roma, Chelsea and Manchester City all keen on the player.
Indeed, the Italian paper claims both the Blues and Citizens have sent scouts to 'spy' on the talented teenager, whose current €10million value is set to increase in the coming months at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Chelsea interim manager Rafa Benitez strengthened his attack during the January transfer window, with Demba Ba moving to Stamford Bridge from Premier League rivals Newcastle.
However, the Senegalese international is one of only two senior strikers available to the Blues boss, with mis-firing Fernando Torres the other option.
Icardi would continue the club's more recent policy of bringing young players to west London, and would also add to a growing South American contingent within the Chelsea camp.
Manchester City, meanwhile, let a striker go in January, with Mario Balotelli departing the Etihad Stadium for AC Milan.
Sold on deadline day, Citizens manager Roberto Mancini was unable to replace the 22-year-old at the end of the transfer window, leaving just three senior strikers available for selection in the shape of Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez and Edin Dzeko.
Icardi would take the Italian's options back to four up-front, and given the Manchester City manager's previous relationship with Sampdoria, the reigning champions could be well-placed to bring the player to England.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
The person who didn't ask for the divorce can refuse to agree to it. This is called 'defending the divorce petition'.
This doesn't often happen because it is expensive and usually pointless. After all, it is virtually impossible to argue that your marriage or civil partnership hasn't broken down when your partner has said it has. But there are some cases where the person who didn't ask for the divorce feels so strongly that the marriage has broken down as a result of the other person's actions, rather than their own, that they ask for a divorce too and give their reasons. This is called a 'cross-petition'.
However, in most cases, it's better to allow the divorce to go ahead no matter how unfair the reasons given. This is because it is cheaper and it doesn't really matter what reasons are given - it doesn't affect arrangements for the children or how the money or property is divided, and ordinarily the papers aren't going to be seen by anybody not involved in the divorce.

Mad Melvin
Mad Melvin is a trapper. He tracks, catches and skins smaller animals - possum, chickens, rats, that sort of thing - and barters for goods with their pelts.
Fur is fur, and meat is meat. He does not have discerning tastes or preferences. Anything smaller than him and furry is fair game (except guinea pigs. Mad Melvin loves guinea pigs. If you were ever to visit his shot gun shack by the river, you may be shocked to find dozens of the little critters sitting on arm rests and on top of the radio and under the table, munching happily on browned lettuce).
Melvin's spent most of his life scurrying around in the brush or down city alleyways, moving very much like the vermin he tracks.
He's constantly talking to himself and snickering. With the exception of the guinea pigs, Melvin lives alone - no friends, no family - and that's how he likes it.
At the end of a long day, if you stand outside the shack, you can hear scratchy records playing and Marvin's boot-heels clacking on the floorboards. You might even catch his silhouette - a shadow against the firelight - twirling past the window as he whoops it up.

One of the most contentious topics in medical research is the issue of experimentation on animals. It's a topic in which middle ground can be hard to find.
Animal models are used in many types of research, from testing new surgical procedures to establishing toxicity levels for chemical compounds. In this hour, we'll talk about the issue of performing medical experiments on animals. How well do animal models predict what might happen in humans? What alternatives to animal testing are there, and how well do they work? Are there times when animal research is clearly justified? Join Joe Palca and guests in this segment for a discussion of animal testing, alternatives to testing, and research ethics.
