Long overdue site noticeby Rachel
Hi! *waves* Remember me?
I just wanted to post a short note to let everyone know that I am taking a hiatus from blogging (obviously, considering I haven't posted anything new in months!). I could go on and on about how my new position at work is eating up lots of my formerly leisure time or the fact that I'm pursuing new interests and old passions and have become very involved with animal rescue efforts in my area, but the long and short of it is: I need a break.
The site will remain open for archives and when I'm ready, I'll resume blogging again. Thanks again to everyone for helping make The-F-Word the community it has become.

Top 100 Agencies: Cambridge BioMarketing
Cambridge BioMarketing's sub-niche, the orphan drug space, may be the one that demands the most specialized experience of any in healthcare marketing. So when the agency executed its long-planned leadership transition, the firm made sure nothing was lost amid the hierarchical reshuffling.
Longtime Genzyme exec Maureen Franco had joined the agency in 2011 as chief strategy officer, with the assumption that she'd ease into the CEO slot if the fit proved as snug as expected. It did, and Franco assumed the CEO reins from longtime agency chief Steve West in June 2012. At the same time, Cambridge creative director Mike Hodgson was promoted to assume West's chief creative officer responsibilities. West now holds the post of chairman.
After that successful transition, Cambridge shifted into growth mode, hiring Mark Kaplan as director of digital strategy, Mike Gatti as creative director and the company's first-ever director of operations. And then in late October, Inspiration Biopharmaceuticals, which earlier in the year had chosen Cambridge over a host of suitors for two hemophilia products and corporate work, filed for bankruptcy.
This led to what Franco now calls "a couple of murky months." Cambridge stayed the course, however, keeping staffing levels consistent (head count currently sits in the upper-50s, up around 10 people from the same time last year). "It's a hit to your morale, because you put your blood, sweat and guts into everything you do," she says. "But the hope was that the people we hired would help us replace what we lost."
Ultimately they did. Cambridge scored what Franco calls "a dream new client" in BioMarin, which tapped the agency as AOR for the upcoming launch of an MPS4A product. Hyperion Therapeutics, a San Francisco-based company that just launched its first product, also bestowed AOR status upon Cambridge. Those two wins "got us out of the inspiration hole," Franco reports.
Other new clients include Synageva BioPharma, for a drug that treats Lysosomal Acid Lipase deficiency. Throw in existing work for Alexion Pharmaceuticals (on a Hypophosphatasia treatment) and Amylin Pharmaceuticals (on a Lipodystrophy drug), and the immediate future is going to be quite packed with activity: Over the course of the next two years, Cambridge will oversee five launches in the orphan drug space.
"It's a little daunting, sure," Franco says when asked about the upcoming slate. "But Big Pharma and investors are paying attention to this space now and it's one where we've been for a long time. That's a fortunate thing for us."
In the months ahead, Cambridge might finally take the plunge and either assign an existing staffer or hire a new one to be the proverbial New Business Person. "The joint focus—new business is a part-time job shared by everyone on the management team—is sometimes tough, but our reputation in the orphan space helps open doors. The real challenge is to go on in and win it," Franco says.The company might have news to report soon about plans to formally open a west coast outpost. West has already moved to San Francisco to work with existing clients in the region. "We're in the early stages of thinking about what a west coast presence would look like, but we want to do it the right way," Franco adds. "We don't want to just throw a couple of account people in a rented room and say, 'Off you go.' We want [the new office] to have our DNA. We want to preserve the culture we have here."

Daniel 9:24‑25 Take your Bible, will you please? And follow it as we study tonight in the ninth chapter of Daniel. Daniel, chapter 9. One of the great exciting prophetic portions of the Word of God, Daniel chapter 9. And we're looking in these days at verses 20 through 27, the last half of the great ninth chapter of Daniel. Now let me see if I can't give you an introduction that will help you to find your focus as we look again at this text.
Jeremiah, the prophet, was a very special man. Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet. And Jeremiah's role was different than Daniel's.
For Jeremiah lived before the children of Israel were taken into captivity. And his ministry was to warn them about the inevitability of that catastrophic judgment of God. For if there was one thing that Israel cherished it was its independence, its national existence, its autonomy, its personal identification as God's people. But Jeremiah came as a messenger of God to tell them that unless they repented from their sin, they would undergo divine judgment and they would be taken out of their land to become prisoners of a foreign nation.
For years Jeremiah warned them. He warned them in what he said and he put on vivid living demonstrations, object lessons, to show them what was coming. And through all the years of Jeremiah's ministry, nobody listened to him, nobody heeded what he said, they ignored him. They shoved him aside and finally threw him in a pit. But Jeremiah lived to see his prophecies come to pass. He lived to see the Babylonian siege that ended in the capture of the city of Jerusalem and the decimation of the nation. He lived to see an unrepentant, rebellious, sinful people carried off into captivity. Now Jeremiah wrote of this captivity and it provides for us a very important setting for the ninth chapter of Daniel. In Jeremiah chapter 25 verse 9, Jeremiah wrote this: Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant," God used Nebuchadnezzar, and will bring them against this land and against its inhabitants and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them and make them an horror and an hissing and perpetual desolations. Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp and this whole land shall be a desolation and an horror and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years."
In the twenty-ninth chapter of Jeremiah, this is repeated. Verse l0:
For thus saith the Lord, After seventy years are accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you in causing you to return even unto this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil. And then verse l2, And then shall you call upon Me and you shall go and pray unto Me and I will hearken unto you and you shall seek Me and find Me when you shall search for Me with all your heart.
And I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will turn away your captivity and I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places to which I have driven you, saith the Lord, and I will bring you again into the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
Now Jeremiah gives the prophecy of the Babylonian captivity and indicates it will last 70 years, first of all, in chapter 25 and then emphasizing not the captivity but the restoration 70 years later, he repeats the prophecy in chapter 29. Now with that in mind, look at the ninth chapter of Daniel and you will see how this all begins. Verse 2, In the first year of his reign,. that is the reign of Darius who was the king of the Medo‑Persian Empire in its first year. The first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by. books the number of the years,"
that is the duration of the captivity, concerning which the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet that he would accomplish 70 years in the desolations of Jerusalem."
Now, Daniel is reading Jeremiah. It isn't that Daniel for the first time discovers Jeremiah, he has known what Jeremiah prophesied. But now Daniel has been in captivity 68 or 69 years and he knows that he is very close to the time of the restoration and no doubt he is familiar with the fact that Isaiah predicted that it would be Cyrus who would give the decree to return. And I take it that Darius and Cyrus are the same individual, most likely Darius being a title and Cyrus being his proper name. And so he senses that the fulfillment of Isaiah's indication regarding Cyrus is possible. He knows that he himself has been in captivity for 68 or 69 years and if God started counting the 70 with the first deportation, it has to be very near when the Lord is going to restore his people to his land.
But he also knows that Jeremiah said it will be when the people turn their heart toward Me, and when the people seek Me with all their heart and when the people turn back in a spiritual dimension. And so, immediately then in verse 3 of chapter 9, he sets his face to the Lord to seek by prayer and supplication with fasting and sack cloth and ashes and he begins to confess his sin and the sins of his people. In other words, he knows there has to be a spiritual response that precipitates the end of the captivity.. So, Daniel is studying the prophecies to get his bearings regarding God's time table. Now may I say at this point that that's precisely what we're doing to? We're endeavoring to understand Daniel so we, too, can get our bearings prophetically, so we, too, can understand what is happening in the flow of history. And this is, frankly, a very good illustration of how to understand prophecy.
I would just point out one thing that just hits me very hard here and that is that when Daniel read the term "seventy years," what did he think that meant? He thought it meant seventy years, didn't he? What amazes me as you read various and sundry Bible commentators is that when the Bible says seventy years, they immediately go into instant hocus‑pocus and they invent all kinds of fantastic symbols which were not the case in Daniel's mind.
And I think it's interesting, also, that when Daniel found out what the prophetic scheme was, he didn't become a prophecy buff and put on his pajamas and sit on the roof. He didn't just play fascination with prophecy. He got on his knees and began to confess his sin to get ready for what God was going to do. That's a proper response because God had given as far back as the twenty‑sixth chapter of Leviticus the condition for blessing and the condition for blessing was confession of sin and obedience to God's standards.
So Daniel prays and he prays from verse 3 to l9 and in verse 20 the answer comes. And that's the text we're going to look at tonight. And we already started it and we're just going to kind of move along.
Tremendous text.
Now, first of all, we mentioned there are three perspectives and three persons in this passage verses 20 to 27. First, there's the circumstances of Daniel, then the coming of Gabriel, and finally the communication of God. Now we've already seen the circumstances of Daniel in verse 20. He was speaking and praying and confessing his sin and the sins of his people Israel. He was presenting his supplications before God and his concern was for the holy mountain of God not for his own purposes and his own goals and his own projects, but for God's. And so, he is communicating with God. That is his circumstance at the moment.
We then move, secondly, to the coming of Gabriel in verse 2l. In the very process of Daniel being involved in prayer, Gabriel arrives, being caused to fly swiftly, the text says. It doesn't take angelic beings long to get from heaven to earth and he moved fast. And he came with an answer, incredible answer. He said in the end of verse 23, therefore understand the matter and consider the revelation." In other words, Gabriel says to Daniel, "Daniel, don't miss this one."
You know, even the best of us can kind of tune in and tune out, can't we? Even the best of us come to times in our lives when we, by our human weakness, sort of miss great realities.
I'm under no illusions, folks, I want you to know that I know you don't hear everything I say. I know that because I get wrong answers when I ask you sometimes. I know. And I know you come in and out.
You're distracted by the...somebody. in front of you who is doing something, or your mind wanders. But may I say to you what Gabriel said to Daniel? Don't miss this one. And if you go away a little bit loose on it, get the tape.
Now God knew that there could be even in a good man like Daniel a little bit of mind wandering in something so mind‑boggling as this prophecy that's about to come and he might get a little lost in the shuffle. And so he says, If you get anything, please get this." You haven't learned at all yet, Daniel. Something to be said for humility.
that can still listen and still learn. Many of us need to be delivered from the false and fatal idea that we've already. got it all. The Lord delivers me from that thought all the time.
That brings me to the third point,the communication of God‑‑ because in verse 24 to 27, you have the message that Gabriel brings from God. The circumstances of Daniel‑‑he's praying. The coming of Gabriel .
dispatched from God with the answer. The communication of God, the most incredible prophecy regarding the history of Israel ever given in the Bible. And we began last time to look at it. Verse 24, "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins and to make reconciliation for iniquity and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal up the vision and prophecy and to anoint a Holy of Holies," is the literal rending..rendering. Now, just by way of reminder. This is the overall perspective. Gabriel says I have a prophecy, a period of time called seventy weeks" in the text is determined. Now that word "determined" has to do with the sovereign, eternal plan of God. Comprehensively does God control all future events. Literally the Hebrew word means "to cut off." It's as if God has just cut off or cut loose a seventy‑week period, pulled it right out of human history and in that period He will accomplish His purposes with His people Israel.
Notice again in verse 24, it is not only determined by God but it is determined by God upon thy people and upon thy holy city. That is referring to Daniel's people who were the Jews and Daniel's city which is Jerusalem. So it is a prophecy. about the Jews and Jerusalem. In contrast to the prophecies prior in the book of Daniel which were mainly dealing with the Gentile world powers. This one deals with Israel. And the purpose of it is all given there in verse 24. There is a six‑fold purpose for this seventy‑week period. Three are positive and three are negative. First are the negative ones: to finish the transgression. That is to restrain sin in principle.
Secondly, to make an end of sins, plural. Not only to restrain firmly sin in principle but to break the power of sin in specific, not only the principle of sin but the sins themselves.
Thirdly, to make reconciliation, or literally it is the word used in Genesis for the pitch that Noah put on his boat. And what it means is "to cover over iniquity, to be a covering for iniquity." And we know the covering for iniquity was nothing less than the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.
So, God has determined a 70‑week period to do away with sin in general as a principle, sin in specific as an act, and to make reconciliation or covering or atonement for iniquity. And having dealt with sin, there are then three positive things. He will bring in everlasting righteousness. This is a great thought and we didn't really develop it last week, let me just give you a footnote. The word really means "the righteousness of eternity," or the righteousness of the ages." Do you know that there is a righteousness of eternity. In other words, there is a true righteous standard. There is a righteousness in the mind of God that is the righteousness of eternity, but it's never been brought into the earth. We function on a man‑made system. The righteousness of the ages indicates that there are rules and standards of life that are right and they've always been right and they'll always be right and they are God's standards and they. are not now in vogue in the world.
But there will come a day when the 70 weeks are over that the world and all of man's forever will be controlled b.v eternal principles of justice and equity that Daniel calls the righteousness of the ages.
Then the Lord will seal up the vision and prophecy, that is it will be the end of revelation, there will be no more need for scriptural revelation or prophetic revelation. Isaiah 2 tells us that God will dwell in the presence of the earth and will be our teacher and the nations will be brought before Him to learn. God Himself will teach.
And then, finally, to anoint a Holy of Holies. There will be in the Kingdom a building of a millennial temple and that is going to be a marvelous thing.
Now, you get the picture. This is a consummate concept. Seventy weeks are determined, at the end of those 70 weeks, God will have totally dealt with sin and will totally bring in everlasting righteousness.
There will come an end to revelation and He will establish a kind of worship in a temple like the world has never known. And all of this, beloved, is referring, I believe, to the millennial kingdom and extends even on into the everlasting Kingdom of Jesus Christ. What is it saying then? Mark it. There's a 70‑week period of time that runs all the way up to the end of man's day and the establishment of the eternal Kingdom of Jesus Christ. God has cut this period out.
Now, there's a key to the whole thing‑‑the first two words of verse 24, seventy weeks.. What are they? Well, the term for "'?eeks,??????Hl or ???????? in Hebrew, does not mean "week." It means "seven," seventy sevens. It doesn't in itself identify days, it doesn't identify. weeks, it doesn't identify months, it doesn't identify years, it just means seventy sevens. And so, whenever you see the term, you've got to get its meaning from the context or the verses around it. And I'm convinced, as are almost all, certainly all evangelical Bible scholars, that it refers to years, not weeks of days but weeks of years. Why? Well, Daniel was already thinking in sevens of years. Verse 2, he was thinking of the seventy years prophecy. So he was thinking in terms of years. And there's a sense in which I see a play on words here. Daniel is thinking, "Lord, seventy years and it will all be over." And God is saying to him, "No, seventy times seven, seventy sevens." You're not there yet. Oh, there will be restoration to the land after the seventy but there's a lot more after that until all of sin is dealt with and everlasting righteousness is brought in. And so, I think he plays off of the very thought of the seventy.
And let me add another reason why. I believe it refers to years. The Jews had the concept of weeks of years. For example, the Sabbath rest of the land was to occur, according to Leviticus 25:3 and 4, every seven years. In other words, there were six years where you worked your land and the seventh year your land had to rest. And so they saw years in terms of weeks of seven. And after seven weeks of seven years, in the forty‑ninth year, came a year known as what? The "Jubilee Year," and the land rested and all the estates returned to their original owners and all debts were forgiven and all slaves were freed. And so a multiple of these week of years was very familiar to the Jewish thinking.
And may I add another thought? Another reason I believe it refers to years is because the only other time Daniel ever uses the term shabuwa or seven, he uses it in chapter l0 verses 2 and 3. And as he refers to it in verse 2, it says three full weeks, "and then in verse 3 three whole weeks." And what he uses there is the word for days. He uses it specifically for days in the Hebrew. And it's almost as if he puts the word days in reference to weeks in chapter l0 and leaves it out in chapter 9 so that you'll know there's a difference.
But I think there's one other thought that's just amazing, just amazing in this prophecy. Now think with me on this. Daniel knew this, Daniel knew that one of the reasons the children of Israel were taken into captivity, now mark this, one of them‑- there were several‑‑but one of the reasons they were taken into captivity was that they had constantly violated that seventh year Sabbath. They had become greedy and self‑indulgent and materialistic and they'd worked that land six years and instead of letting that seventh year rest to restore the land, they'd plow that land the seventh year and they kept doing it and kept doing it and kept doing it and they violated Sabbath year after Sabbath year after Sabbath year after Sabbath year. And that is one of the reasons that they were removed from the land because God wanted to give to His land its proper Sabbath rest. You see? And if they wouldn't let the land rest when they were in it, then God would empty it of them and let it rest on His terms. And in 2 Chronicles 36:2l, it says: "To fulfill the Word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, talking about the captivity, .until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths, for as long as she lay desolate she kept Sabbath to fulfill threescore and ten years.. How many is that? Seventy.
Now listen, this is a tremendous truth. God says you're going to stay out of that land for 70 years. You know why? They had violated how many Sabbaths? Seventy. They violated 70 Sabbaths. How many years would it take you to violate seventy Sabbaths? Four hundred and ninety. It seems to be that the Spirit of God is telling us that just as they had violated the Sabbath for 490 years, so 490 more years would be determined upon their history. Amazing. In their 800 years as a nation, they had violated 70 of their Sabbaths. And so, God uses the same number of years violated as the basis of His future plan. And each year in captivity was for one seven‑year period when the Sabbath was violated. Boy, God is very exacting, isn't He?
And so, I believe these are weeks of years. And you people...I read a commentary that said, "Well, we can't be sure they're years, they might just be symbolic of movements. They might mean days or weeks or long period? You know, that's just so much spaced‑out hocus pocus. Daniel didn't have any problem with seventy years, he understood that.
Now, what is the length of these years? How long is a year? You say, "It's easy, 365 days." No, that's not easy. Because not everybody used the 365‑day year in Daniel's time. How about that? You say, "What kind of year did they use?" Well, some used a 360‑day year and then they had to throw in an extra month every once in a while to catch up. You say, "Well, hmm, which year did the prophecy refer to? It's very important." Well, I believe, the prophecy refers to a 360‑day year. Now stay with me, folks. This is where we separate the men from the boys. Going to get heavy. Hang on. According to Genesis, the flood‑‑now you say, "Wait a minute, how did we get in the flood?" Don't worry about it. We're working our way back to Daniel. The Bible says in Genesis 7:11, don't turn to this just listen. If you start fumbling around in your Bible you're going to find yourself under the bed saying the Greek alphabet. Just hang in there. I'm going to give this my best shot, folks, we're going to get through this. All right, according to Genesis 7:11, the flood began on the seventeenth day of the second month. And the flood came to an end on the seventeenth day of the seventh month. Now if the flood started on the seventeenth day of the second month and ended on the seventeenth day of the seventh month, how many months was the flood? Good class, five months...five months.
You say, "What's so interesting about that?" Listen to this. In Genesis 7:24 and in Genesis 8:3, the Bible says the flood lasted for one hundred and fifty days. Now if the flood was l50 days and the Jews counted that as five months, how long were their months? Thirty days.
Twelve thirty‑day months equals a 360‑day year. So we believe the Jews functioned on a 360‑day year calendar. The earliest known months used then in the biblical text were 30‑day months giving us a 360‑day year.
And then every once in a while they'd throw in an extra pile to catch up with the solar year.
Now let me give you another thought. Are you ready for this one?
Daniel 7 says that the great Tribulation will last for a time (that's one),times (that's two), and half a time (that's half)‑‑ times, time, half a time, three and a half. Revelation l3 says the Tribulation will last forty‑two months. And Revelation l2:6 says the Tribulation will last l260 days.
Now isn't that interesting? We have three different time frames for the Tribulation. In one place it says three and a half years, one place it says 42 months and one place l260 days. Three and a half years equals 42 months. Is that right? That's right. I'll tell you that's right. Thirty‑six plus six‑‑three and a half, okay. Three and a half years equals 42 months, but if 42 months equal l260 days, they have to be months of 30 days. There's no other way.
So again we find not only in Genesis but clear in Revelation that the Bible is still counting on the same kind of clock, months are 30‑day months. So, Daniel would have used a biblical prophetic calendar. He would not use the pagan 365‑day year. So, what do we have? We have a period of 490 years of 360 days. Are you still with me? Four hundred and ninety years of 360 days.
Now you say, "When did this period begin? Because if we can find out when it begins, we can find out when it ends." Good thinking. That's right. Let's find out when it begins. It even tells you in verse 25. And it just says this, and I like this, know therefore and understand. Get it. He keeps saying this all through this text. Now get this. It begins from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem. Now that's fairly clear, right? You say, "Hey, we're in great shape." It begins right at the command to restore and build Jerusalem. That's terrific‑‑except there were four of those commands, four of them. Three of them are given in the book of Ezra: one by Cyrus, one by Darius, and one by Artaxerxes. And then there was a fourth one by Artaxerxes, a second one of his. Now, which one is the one we start with cause they were all given at different dates, and if they all start at a different time they're all going to end at a different time? And there's much debate as to which of these is right.
Now some say the first decree of Cyrus is the one. That's the one and they find that, by the way if you're interested, in the first chapter of Ezra. And so they say the first decree of Cyrus is the one and the reasoning being that in Isaiah 44, the Bible tells us that Cyrus would be the servant of God who would lead the people or let the people go back to the land to rebuild their city and so forth. So they say the 490 years began when Cyrus made the first decree. You know when that was? 536 B.C. Okay, let's take that. Let's say it began in 536 B.C. and it went from there. And by the way, if you'll notice over in verse 27, it says: "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week." For one week. The seventieth week is cut off the other 69, so we can't count that one. We'll see where that comes in later. So back to verse 25. It begins with a commandment to build Jerusalem and it goes unto the what? The Messiah. And it will be seven weeks and threescore and two weeks. Seven and threescore and two is 69. So, the first 69 or 483 of the 490 start with a decree and end with the Messiah.
And so some scholars say it has to be the first decree, it has to be the decree of Cyrus because in Isaiah 44:24 to 28, Isaiah said Cyrus would make this decree and so forth. But you know what happens? When you go with 483 years from 536 B.C., you wind up around 54 B.C. and you can't have the Messiah 54 years before Christ. You've got a problem. In fact, Christ doesn't really start His ministry until 30 A.D. and so it's 80 years off.
You say, "Yeah, but it's close." But God isn't just close, folks. God is not just close. And you know what this fellow said that holds this view? He said, "Well, the solution is that the Ptolemaic calendar and the Ptolemaic list of the reigns of kings is off 80 years." That's no solution. You can't prove that. You can't just say, "Well, we come up 80 years short so therefore history's 80 years off." That's not too convincing. There's no proof of that at all.
So, we don't accept that first decree. And I'll tell you another reason why. Because in the first decree of Cyrus there was no command to rebuild the city, only the temple, only the temple.
Then some people say no. Nobody says it's the second decree of Darius but they'll jump to the third one and they'll say, "It's the first decree of Artaxerxes in 458 B.C." And that's moving a little bit ahead in the calendar, about 90...80 years or so. They're trying to make up that little slack. And so they say 458. And if we go 483 years from 458, which is the decree of Artaxerxes, we wind up at 25 A.D. Well, that's a problem, 25 A.D, because the only thing that can be remotely close to 25 A.D. would be the baptism of Christ. And the baptism wasn't His presentation as Messiah. The baptism was the Father's approval. That was between Himself and God. There's not even any comment that anybody around made any statement about it at all. We don't even know if they heard what was going on. They heard a noise.
And by the way, the first decree of Artaxerxes said absolutely nothing about the city either, only about the temple. Nothing about restoring and rebuilding the city.
There's one other alternative. And that it is the fourth decree which is the second decree of Artaxerxes. There are basically two that really have found the thread of truth and it has been sustained throughout history. One is Sir Robert Anderson who lived a hundred years ago and was with Scotland Yard and wrote a classic book called The Coming Prince. And the other is a rather new book written by. Dr. Harold Hoehner of Dallas Theological Seminary in which he confirms with tremendous accuracy the figures of Sir Robert Anderson though he differs with him on one year. He wants to push it up just one year, and I'll show you that as we go. And this is a fascinating, fascinating thought.
In the first three decrees there was no authorization given at all for the building of the city. So it can't start there. In fact, it's most interesting to me, and I was reading through Ezra to check all of this, that when they were building the temple in Ezra chapter 4, this is most interesting, they were stopped for a while in their building because they were accused by their Jewish enemies of attempting to rebuild the city without a permit. So we know they didn't have that right until that decree of Artaxerxes. That's the only decree that fits. And that's found in Nehemiah chapter l and chapter 2. Nehemiah chapter l and chapter 2. And I just want to read chapter 2 verse l because we don't have to spend too much time in this point. But it says in chapter 2, "It came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, "and then it goes on to say that he made the decree as you read down through verse 8. But I want you to note the month was Nisan and the twentieth year of Artaxerxes. When did Artaxerxes begin to reign? There's very little doubt about that.
Historians tells us that he acceeded to the throne in 465 B.C. That's in the Encyclopedia Brittanica, by the way. So that's a very established fact, 465 B.C. So his twentieth year would be what? 445‑‑cause we're coming down toward the birth of Christ. So 445, and according to Sir Robert Anderson's calculations, the years of a king's reign were from the first of the month of his reign. And so if it's the month of Nisan, it begins at the first of the month of Nisan. And that is again substantiated, he feels, because there's no other date mentioned. So it would be likely the first day of the month of Nisan in 445.
Now for us, that translates to March l4, 445 B.C. And by the way, if you want to read the book The Coming Prince you can wade through this material. Several hundred pages of all of the calculations. So on March l4, according to Sir Robert Anderson, 445 B.C. began the 483 years. This is the first 69 weeks.
When did it end? Back again at our verse. Look at it, verse 25, "...unto the Messiah." Unto the Messiah, the Prince. It is then consummated that first 69 weeks in the arrival of the Messiah the Prince, it will be‑‑he says‑‑seven weeks and threescore and two weeks. "The streets shall be built again and the wall even in troublous times." Now stop there for a moment.
So we have these two periods divided. First seven weeks and then 62 weeks, equaling 69. Now watch this. The first seven weeks is a 49‑year period. So let's separate it out. Seven weeks, verse 25 indicates, until the street is built again and the wall even in troublous times. Now if you study the book of Nehemiah, you'll find out one thing very quickly. They had a lot of trouble building the city, didn't they? Troublous times. But he sees, the prophet sees, a 49 year period. So if you go from 445, 49 years later you're at 396 B.C. and that's a very crucial time for that was not only the time when they completed the city but that was the time also when the Old Testament canon was completed as well. It's as if God established His people in their land, God established His city, God established a temple and God established His Word. And from there till the coming of John the Baptist, there was no prophet. God had affirmed His people, His city and His Word.
And by the way, it says in verse 25, in those 49 years, "The street would be built and the wall." And the actual word for "street" is the word for public square, or marketplace and it probably is best understood as the inside of the city. And then the wall is actually the word for a moat or a ditch or an external fortification. And what it means is the city was completed inside and outside. It was fully done in those years. Complete restoration in 49 years. And, beloved, there's only...it's only possible that that could have occurred from the decree of Artaxerxes because it was at that time that Nehemiah began to rebuild. So the decree of Artaxerxes, I believe, has to be the decree and you have the period of time in which the city is finalized. All you need to do is read Ezra 9 and l0, Nehemiah 4, chapter 6, chapter 9 and you can see the trouble they. had in doing it in those troublous times.
Now, we covered the 49 years and we have another period in verse 25. And then comes threescore and two weeks, or 62 weeks‑‑62 weeks. And this goes from the time of 396, from there on ahead. Now, let's take the whole figure of 483. From 445 B.C., we want to go 483 years. You have 69 times seven years which equals 483 years. And then you have 483 years times 360 days. And that's the figure I want you to get. The total of days is one hundred and seventy‑three thousand, eight hundred and eighty days. That is 483 years times 360 days. Remember, I told you we're dealing with a 360‑day year. So in order to convert that to a 365‑day calendar like we have, we have to reduce it to days and then divide it back again. So we're dealing with l73,880 days from the decree of Artaxerxes in 445 B.C. to the coming of Messiah the Prince. The Messiah will come in l73,880 days.
Now, the phrase unto Messiah the Prince, I think, is a very interesting phrase. I think it's a phrase that carries with it a very official terminology. Mashiyach nagiyd, the Messiah, the anointed one, the Prince, the Ruler is a very official term. By the way, that very term prince is used first of Saul and used other times of kings. So it is a kingly concept. It isn't the birth of Christ we're looking at.
It isn't the baptism of Christ we're looking at. It is the presentation of Christ as the Mashiyach nagiyd as the Prince, the Messiah. And that's what you have to keep in mind.
Now there are only two events in His life, the life of Christ, where He is officially set apart. One is the baptism, and two is the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Now some believe it's the baptism. But as I said, it can't be because He was not being presented to men there but to God. And the men didn't even know what was going on. There is utterly no reference to Israel. There is no statement about messiahship, only .This is My beloved Son..
And so, if it isn't the baptism, it has to be the triumphal entry, it has to be. There's really no other alternative. And you...no wonder it says in Isaiah 46:l0 that God is the one who declares the end from the beginning. And He predicts things that are not yet done. God told Daniel the very day Jesus would enter the city of Jerusalem and what did they say? "Hosanna to the King of David." The Messiah.
It didn't last long. And after, verse 26 says, after this seven and threescore and two weeks, shall Messiah be...what?...cut off. Let's pray.
Lord, the time has just flown by tonight, hard to believe. It's so exhilarating to study Your Word. Oh, what assurance it gives us. What an infinite mind, what incomprehensible truth, all beginning way back with the Sabbath. And for every defiled Sabbath, there would be a Sabbath to repay it in the captivity.
And for every block of seven years so defiled, there would be another seven years determined in history. How marvelous, how accurate, how exacting that it all should come to the very day, the very day that Jesus when He entered the eastern gate on the colt, the foal of an ass, with the palm branches strewn at His feet, hearing the hosannas", must have had a heart that was exhilarated beyond anything we can believe. It must have had ringing in His ears, the prophecies of Daniel. How heaven must have rejoiced that this great monumental prophecy which if wrong by one day would defy the veracity. of the Word of God had indeed come to pass. God, we thank You that You do such things with absolute precision. We thank You that if You're a God who can care for the calendar, You're a God who can chart the destiny. of every soul. And so, we are pleased, Father, that we know You through Christ and that the infinite wisdom that is Yours as manifest in what we've seen tonight is granted to us in an unlimited fashion to so live that we may be to the praise of Your glory. Thank You for loving us and for letting the Messiah be cut off for us. We praise You in His blessed name. Amen.

If theres a single issue that has electrified the race for the board of directors of La Plata Electric Association, it is the part of the electric bill that consumers get stuck with no matter if youre going to use any electricity or not, said Britt Bassett, a candidate for District 3, Durango.
They raised it 16 percent (this year) for all residential consumers, Bassett said. They will raise it for years to come . Look at the elderly. Their base charge will go up whether they use any energy or not. Its just fundamentally wrong.
Bassett is one of four candidates running on a platform advocating renewable energy.
The results of the mail-in election are scheduled to be announced Saturday at LPEAs annual meeting.
LPEA officials said their renewable-energy consumers are like patrons at a bar who dont order any drinks. They still have to pay a cover charge if they want to listen to the band.
They said they have a lot of fixed costs, such as providing customer service, that remain whether customers use any energy or not.
They also noted the cooperative must have the transmission lines and substations to provide power to customers with solar-power systems after sundown.
The green candidates argue that if the base rate keeps rising while the energy rate remains flat, there will be no incentive for consumers or businesses to invest in renewable energy, even though the region has abundant sunshine for clean energy such as solar power.
It means anybody who has put in efficient lighting, anybody trying to be efficient with their power, it wont make any difference. Their (base) rates are going up, Bassett said.
The base rate went up by $2.20 to $15.60 per month for residential consumers this year.
To minimize rate shock, the base rate has gradually been raised since 2002 when it was $10.
A lot of people want to do things for the good of humanity, said Heather Erb, a candidate for District 4, which is northern and eastern La Plata County. But there has to be a financial incentive, it has to make sense for them to do it. Nobody is going to spend thousands of dollars on something theyre not going to get a return.
More increases appear to be on the horizon because LPEA has announced it would like to eventually raise the base rate to the $30 range to correct a historical practice of using its income from energy rates to pay for its cost of services.
The electric cooperatives officials say its base charge is comparable to neighboring utilities because Gunnison County charges $22.20 and Delta-Montrose charges $25 for their base rates.
LPEA also wants to increase its base rate to create parity between its different rate classes for residential, industrial and commercial consumers.
Bobby Lieb, incumbent for District 3, said there are large discrepancies between the rate classes. Residential is subsidized by commercial and industrial. Lots of cooperatives are in the same situation.
Our feeling of responsibility is that if it costs $32 a month to serve you, and were only charging you $14 or $15, eventually we have to bring that to parity in all our rate classes, said Herb Brodsky, the incumbent for District 4.
Critics respond that LPEAs fixed costs cannot be verified because LPEA wont release its cost-of-services study. LPEA officials say they cannot reveal proprietary information.
Because of the controversy, LPEA is contracting with an outside consultant to do its annual cost-of-service study this year.
Much of the debate also seems to depend on point of view and politics.
LPEA, for instance, argues that raising the energy rate would be unfair to the poor, whose homes and appliances are not as energy efficient.
Bob Formwalt, an incumbent candidate for Archuleta County, said the base rate is needed to pay back debt on LPEAs infrastructure.
But Formwalt, an old banker, opposes feed in tariffs, or guaranteeing a rate of return to consumers generating solar power so they can finance their solar installation with a loan from a bank.
Formwalt said the risk should be with the consumer who wants to install the solar system, and not with the cooperative as a whole.
We can buy that electricity for a lot cheaper than the feed-in tariff, said Formwalt, who is opposed by green candidate Kirsten Skeehan for District 1.
The LPEA race is becoming so heated that Bassett wonders if the LPEA is running get out the vote advertisements on conservative talk radio stations in order to defeat the green candidates.
Bruce Baizel, a candidate for District 2, western and southern La Plata County, has complained to Greg Munro, the chief executive of LPEA, that an employee used her LPEA email account to campaign for an incumbent.
Munro responds that LPEA advertises every year on the radio to increase voter participation.
Munro said he has informed all employees not to engage in political activity on company time or company resources.

Could the next iPhone feature a 3D camera and a detachable DSLR lens? The iPhone PRO is the brainchild of designer Jinyoung Choi and is very much caters to the photography enthusiast. With a 4.5-inch LCD screen, the iPhone PRO would be considerably bigger than the current iPhone 4S with dimensions measuring 128 x 73 x 9.6 mm.
Found on the back of the handset in a central position is a 1.2-megapixel 3D camera that can be hooked up to a DSLR lens that in turn doubles up as a projector with embedded speakers. There's even a removable hard disk at the bottom of the phone.
Before you all get too excited, this is just a concept. However, the latest iOS update would theoretically support the iPhone PRO's credentials. Here at Pocket-lint we certainly hope Jinyoung Choi's vision becomes reality. Even if it might cause the odd look while in your pocket.
3D technology certainly appears to be on Apple's roadmap after details emerged that the Cupertino outfit has been working on a 3D camera for its iOS devices.
What do you think of the iPhone PRO? Let us know your thoughts.

The DREAM Act. Amnesty. Kris Kobach. Illegals. Undocumented. Arizona.
The second presidential debate on Tuesday night finally touched on immigration -- one of the towering issues among Latinos -- and it came loaded with all the trigger words that send temperatures rising.
There was little new in what President Obama and challenger Republican Mitt Romney said about their views on immigration. And so, if anything, both candidates further cemented their positions on immigration, particularly on the undocumented – echoing most of the talking points of their campaigns.
But Romney went deeper into some corners of the immigration debate that have gotten him in trouble with many Latinos and advocates of more lenient immigration policies – corners that his campaign doggedly has tried to avoid.
At the "town hall" forum at Hofstra University in New York, Romney uttered the controversial word "illegals" when speaking about undocumented immigrants.
Romney has used the term, which critics deride as dehumanizing, before, but this time it was before tens of millions of viewers and social media users, and on the heels of recent efforts to soften his rhetoric on immigration.
Twitter went bonkers after Romney said it.
"Except [for] Mitt, never heard a nom[inee] use the slur 'illegals,'" tweeted Frank Sharry, the founder and executive director of America's Voice, a group that advocates for a more lenient approach to immigration. "Not Reagan, Bush, or McCain. No Dem[ocrat]. Most anti-immigrant candidate ever."
For many, Romney's use of the word and his reaffirmation of strict stances on illegal immigration put into sharp relief his image as a hawk on the issue.
"Mitt Romney continues to adhere to rhetoric on immigration that has alienated the Latino community," said DRM Action Coalition, a group that supports undocumented youth, in a statement. "Many DREAMers were watching tonight hoping to see whether Mitt Romney could restore sensibility to the immigration debate. But he demonstrated his lack of sensitivity towards us by calling us 'Illegals.'"
For advocates of more generous immigration policies, Obama reignited confidence by pushing the topic, even when the discussion seemed to be moving away from it, and promoting controversial positions that would give breaks to some undocumented immigrants.
The president said it was wrong to go after undocumented immigrants who took risks to come to this country for their families.
"If we're going to go after folks who are here illegally, we should do it smartly," Obama said, "and go after folks who are criminals, gangbangers, people who are hurting the community -- not after students. Not after folks who are here just because they're trying to figure out how to feed their families."
In fact, during Obama's tenure, more immigrants have been deported than ever before – about 400,000 a year -- and the majority of them were not criminals, not people who posed a danger to their communities.
Many were arrested because of immigration violations, a civil – not criminal – offense, and they've included many so-called DREAMers, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country as minors.
Immigration advocates, who have assailed Obama for his enforcement approach, nonetheless appeared forgiving after he promoted on Tuesday many of the positions they favor.
"While President Obama has his shortcomings on immigration, including deportations, he has made a solid effort to bring reason to the debate," said the DRM Action Coalition.
Proponents of strict immigration enforcement generally liked what they heard Romney say.
Proponents of strict immigration enforcement generally liked what they heard Romney say. Mark Krikorian, head of the Center for Immigration Studies, or CIS, expressed misgivings about how the questioner referred to undocumented immigrants.
Krikorian noted the questioner's "new euphemism for 'illegal aliens' – 'immigrants without their green cards that are currently living here as productive members of society.'"
What critics saw as extremism Krikorian, Romney supporters viewed as refreshingly unvarnished and pragmatic.
"Romney did not Etch-a-Sketch," Krikorian wrote. "He looked the woman questioner, apparently an immigrant herself, in the eyes and forthrightly said 'we're going to have to stop illegal immigration,' mentioning universal E-Verify and no driver's licenses."
Obama aimed for all of Romney's hot-button positions.
The president tried to cast the former Massachusetts governor as to the right of even his own party, saying that former President George W. Bush worked (though unsuccessfully) toward getting bipartisan support for comprehensive immigration reform – an approach that includes both a pathway to legalization for undocumented immigrants, as well as stricter enforcement.
"George Bush embraced comprehensive immigration reform. He didn't call for self-deportation," Obama said.
Romney came under considerable fire this year for touting the concept of self-deportation, where the inability to get a driver's license, a job and other basic necessities would create such hardship for undocumented immigrants that they would leave the United States.
Kansas Secretary of State, Kris Kobach, who is the architect of Arizona's anti-illegal immigration law, SB 1070, and other similar state immigration measures, has pushed "self-deportation" in public statements.
Kobach, who is described by the Romney campaign as the candidate's "unofficial advisor" on immigration, also is a lead counsel in a lawsuit against an Obama administration initiative that suspends deportation for two years for certain undocumented immigrants brought as minors, and allows them to obtain work permits.
Romney, who has been relatively quiet about the controversial phrase "self-deportation," defended the concept when Obama tried to put him on the defensive about it.
"Self-deportation says let people make their own choice," Romney said. "We're not going to round up 12 million people, undocumented, illegals, and take them out of the nation. Instead, let people make their own choice. And if they find that they can't get the benefits here that they want and they can't find the job they want, then they'll make a decision to go a place where they have better opportunities."
Roy Beck, head of NumbersUSA, which favors strict immigration policies, lauded Romney as the better candidate for acting in the interests of unemployed Americans by attacking magnets – such as jobs -- for undocumented immigrants.
"Romney noted two primary ways that a country can enforce its immigration rules and said he rejects the one that involves mass roundups and mass deportations," said Beck. "Instead, he said, he would take away the jobs and benefits magnets and allow most illegal immigrants to come to their own conclusion on moving back to their home countries."
"Obama, unfortunately, indicated that he opposes both enforcement options, except for deporting criminals who are 'hurting the community.'"
Critics pounced on Romney's defense of self-deportation, saying that it advocated suffering as a way to make people desperate enough to leave.
"Once again, Mitt Romney showed you can describe his immigration policy in two words: 'get out,'" said Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Illinois Democrat, in a written statement.
"The reality is that self deportation, as his close immigration advisor Kris Kobach defines, is making our lives so difficult that we would leave on our own. Mitt Romney had the opportunity tonight to move away from the extreme and nasty rhetoric on immigration. He failed to do so."
For their part, proponents of strict enforcement felt that Romney missed an opportunity to tie illegal immigration to the economy, and couch his hard-line positions as being driven by a need to free up jobs for unemployed Americans.

Pelham had employed finance head charged with embezzlementBy Jason Schreiber
Union Leader Correspondent
December 06. 2013 9:04PM
PLAISTOW — The former finance director charged with stealing from the town worked in Pelham before she was hired in Plaistow, but an official said there was no sign of trouble during her tenure there.
"We had audits on a yearly basis and there were no indications of any problems during her tenure here," said Ed Gleason, chairman of the Pelham Board of Selectmen.
Gleason said Janet Gallant began working as Pelham's finance director around 2005 and resigned in 2010. He said her resignation was a "mutual agreement."
"There was no evidence of any misdoing," he said. "I can't reveal anything further than that."
Gallant, 52, of Pelham, is accused of embezzling an estimated $20,000 during her time working for Plaistow. She was arrested Tuesday and charged with felony theft by unauthorized taking or transfer.
Plaistow town officials hired an accounting firm in January to audit Gallant's work after they became concerned about financial discrepancies related to suspicious payroll transactions.
Town Manager Sean Fitzgerald said Gallant made unauthorized electronic payments and that an audit found that she had allegedly overpaid herself on several occasions, totaling roughly $20,000.
The Rockingham County Attorney's Office and Plaistow police were notified and began a criminal investigation after an independent investigation of the finance office raised significant concerns about Gallant's handling of town funds, according to Fitzgerald. Gallant was hired in Plaistow in 2011 and was fired in September. While the town has insurance to cover the loss, town officials hope to recover the money.
Gallant was released on $50,000 personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to appear in court in January. Gallant could not be reached for comment this week.

Fat Lies
Obesity, laxity, and political correctness.
Obesity is contagious like a virus. Willpower can't contain it. Stop blaming and stigmatizing fat people.
That's how scientists and the press are spinning a new study about weight gain, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. The spin is politically correct but medically perverted. The study's findings tell exactly the opposite story: Obesity spreads culturally, individual decisions are crucial, and responsibility and stigma are part of the solution.
How did the story get twisted? Start with the contagion metaphor. The word contagious never appears in the original paper, written by Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School and James Fowler of the University of California at San Diego. But it's all over their sound bites. "Obesity Is 'Socially Contagious,' " said the headline on UCSD's press release. Christakis told reporters that obesity can "spread from person to person like a fashion or a germ" and that "once it starts, it's hard to stop it. It can spread like wildfire." A government official who funded the research concluded, "It takes what was seen as a noninfectious disease (obesity) and shows it clearly has got communicable factors."
These metaphors spread rapidly through the media like … well, like bad metaphors. The New York Times ("Study Says Obesity Can Be Contagious") opened its report with the line, "Obesity can spread from person to person, much like a virus. …" The Los Angeles Times ("Obesity is 'contagious,' study finds") began, "Obesity can spread among a group of friends like a contagious disease," and added that the study showed a "pattern of contagion most often associated with infectious diseases." The Washington Post began, "Obesity appears to spread from one person to another like a virus or a fad. …"
The virus metaphor infected—actually, no, it didn't infect, it simply influenced—the authors' and the media's conclusions. "Treating people in groups may be more effective than treating them individually," Christakis argued. The Los Angeles Times paraphrased one expert's inference that "obesity treatment programs should move away from their emphasis on individual willpower." The Post said the results "lend support to treating people in groups or even whole communities." A warning against "relieving people of responsibility for watching their weight" vanished from the Post's article overnight.
Obviously, from a collective standpoint, it's more efficient to address obesity in a group than in one individual. But just as obviously, groups consist of individuals. And the gist of this study is that obesity did not spread through the sampled population like a virus or any other materially transmitted malady. It spread culturally, individual to individual, through the relaxation of standards of personal discipline.
Many scientists believe that in some cases, viruses literally cause obesity. Others point to genes or environmental constraints, such as fast-food joints, distances too great to walk, and a shortage of parks, sidewalks, and good grocery stores. Research suggests these factors do matter a lot—and to that extent, fat people deserve sympathy, not blame. But such factors can't account for the spread pattern documented in this study. Genetics can't explain it, since having a fat friend was more likely to predict a person's obesity than having a fat sibling was. Environmental constraints can't explain it, since faraway friends made a difference, while next-door neighbors didn't. Availability of food can't explain it, since friends had a bigger effect than spouses did. Nor can sheer imitative eating, since faraway friends had as big an effect as local friends did.
Cross off genes, viruses, environment, and imitation, and the only explanatory factor you're left with is, as the paper notes, each person's "perception of the socialnorms regarding the acceptability of obesity." In other words, culture. Moreover, the study documents obesity's differential spread not through an amorphous group but through a network. The point of differential spread though a network is that each node—in this case, each person's cultural decisions—matters.
The upshot of the data is that if you find yourself caught in a fattening social network, you have three options. You can resist the fattening norm. You can try to reverse it. Or you can ditch your fat friends.
That doesn't sound very nice. The study's authors certainly don't want to say it. In talking to the press, the Post notes, they "cautioned that people should not … stigmatize obese people." Likewise, an obesity expert from Yale warned the New York Times against "blaming obese people even more for things that are caused by a terrible environment." Fowler cautioned that studies "suggest that having more friends makes you healthier. So the last thing that you want to do is get rid of any of your friends." Christakis added, "We are not suggesting that people should sever ties with their overweight friends. But forming ties with underweight or normal weight friends may be beneficial to you."
Come on. Everything in the study belies these mealy-mouthed conclusions. To resist a fattening norm, you need willpower. To reverse it, you need to promote responsibility, which implies blame. You almost certainly need stigma. And realistically, to add normal or underweight friends to your circle, you have to relegate others who are overweight. That may be bad for your fat ex-friends, who will lose your friendship as well as your thinness. But it's fine for you, since you'll have just as many friends as before.
Maybe it's not nice to speak these truths. But maybe being nice, when you should be speaking the truth—especially to your friends—is the problem.

Bowlsby named Big 12 commissioner
Stanford's AD set to take control of conference on June 15
STANFORD, Calif. -- A teary-eyed Bob Bowlsby walked out of a Stanford auditorium to a roaring ovation from university coaches and staff members on Thursday, leaving behind a lasting legacy at one of the nation's top athletic programs for a conference in desperate need of a strong leader.
The Big 12 Conference made it official in the afternoon, announcing Bowlsby as its commissioner. He will take over for interim commissioner Chuck Neinas -- who replaced the ousted Dan Beebe in September -- on June 15 after six years as Stanford's athletic director.
''The institutions of the Big 12 wanted a commissioner that could take us to the next era as a conference,'' Burns Hargis said, Oklahoma State president and chairman of the conference's board of directors. ''The search committee looked for a candidate that has a vision for the next generation of college athletics, and his credentials and ideas exceeded this.''
Bowlsby will lead a BCS conference that seems to have found some stability.
After losing four schools in the past two years, the league heads into this fall with 10 members, including new additions TCU and West Virginia. The conference also is working on a new television deal that could reshape revenue similar to the Pac-12's lucrative contract.
''Bob has been a great friend and confidant,'' Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said. ''I've very much enjoyed working with him and value his tremendous experience, intellect and integrity. I'm sorry we will lose him from Stanford, but I am happy for him and believe he will do a terrific job for the Big 12.''
The 60-year-old Bowlsby had passed up several chances to leave Stanford over the years. He's a nationally respected college administrator who was hired away from Iowa in 2006 after 15 years spent running the Hawkeyes' athletic department.
''I have been honored to have served Stanford University. It has been a productive and an enjoyable period of time and Stanford will always be a part of me,'' Bowlsby said in a statement. ''The university has a rich history of successfully merging world-class academics and world-class athletics and I am very proud to have had the opportunity to participate in the extraordinary achievements of our student-athletes and coaches.''
Success on The Farm blossomed during Bowlsby's tenure.
Of all the decisions he made at Stanford, though, fans will forever remember his hiring of coach Jim Harbaugh in 2006 most. Harbaugh built the football program into a national power, winning the Orange Bowl against Virginia Tech in 2011 and finishing fourth in the final AP poll.
It was the program's best ranking since the unbeaten 1940 team finished second.
Bowlsby also hired offensive coordinator David Shaw last year to replace Harbaugh, who departed to the San Francisco 49ers. Shaw kept the Cardinal on track, going 11-2, including an overtime loss in the Fiesta Bowl to Oklahoma State. Andrew Luck was the Heisman Trophy runner-up both seasons and the No. 1 overall pick in last month's NFL draft.
''Bob Bowlsby has my admiration as a Stanford alumnus for his leadership through difficult economic times for our athletic department,'' Shaw said. ''As head football coach, he has my gratitude for his continuous efforts to bolster and support our football program. As a friend, I wish him great success.''
West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck, who first met Bowlsby when his son was being recruited by Stanford some five years ago, lauded Bowlsby's hiring as the Mountaineers prepare to enter the conference. Luck's daughter, Mary Ellen, is a sophomore on the Cardinal volleyball team.
''He is an excellent choice for Big 12 commissioner and will further enhance the cohesiveness of the conference,'' Luck said. Stanford's rigorous academic standards presented unique circumstances, yet the school has won the Directors' Cup 17 consecutive years. The award is given annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics to the program with the most success in all sports.
Stanford is one of the country's largest programs with 35 sports, including 19 for women. Stanford sent more athletes to the 2008 Beijing Olympics than any other college in the U.S, winning 25 Olympic medals. If Stanford were a country, it would have ranked 11th -- tying with Japan -- in total medals.
Stanford teams won 10 NCAA championships during Bowlsby's tenure, plus five consecutive Final Four appearances by the women's basketball team.
''I am very sad to see Bob leave Stanford. I loved working for Bob. He is a great supporter of women's basketball and women's athletics here at Stanford,'' head women's basketball coach Tara VanDerveer said. ''He is direct, a problem-solver and a man of integrity. The Big 12 is fortunate to have him and he will do a great job.''
Bigger challenges lie ahead for Bowlsby in the Midwest.
The Big 12 was hit hard two years ago and wound up losing Nebraska to the Big Ten, Colorado to the Pac-12 and, as of July 1, Texas A&M and Missouri to the Southeastern Conference. Beebe was booted in September as Oklahoma, Texas and others were flirting with the Pac-12 and the Big 12 seemed on the brink of falling apart.
The conference is reportedly working toward a new television deal with ESPN, and Neinas was pushing members to agree to a long-term grant of media rights to the league that would make it all but impossible for schools to bolt. No deal has been struck yet, but that will likely be among the first items on the agenda for Bowlsby.
That's something he worked closely with Scott to accomplish.
After reaching a 12-year contract worth about $3 billion last year with Fox and ESPN, the Pac-12 announced plans to launch a new conference-owned network to supplement coverage and create more exposure for Pac-12 athletes. The venture will launch this fall with the national cable network, six regional networks and a digital network.
''We're grateful to Bob Bowlsby for his leadership of Stanford Athletics over the past six years,'' Stanford Provost and acting President John Etchemendy said in a statement. ''We're sorry to see him go, but this is a tremendous opportunity for him, and we wish him and the Big 12 all the best.''

Both crowds and sales swelled at the 2011 PRI Trade Show on Friday, traditionally the busiest day of the three-day show at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
Attendees arrived early on Friday morning and remained steady throughout the day.
"We've been very, very busy since the show opened yesterday," said Dale Aldo, Motorsports Marketing Manager for Mopar, who's highlighting its high-performance engine programs with its Gen-2 Hemi and Gen-3 Hemis, as well as the Mopar Drag-Pak. "We haven't even had an opportunity to walk the show because we've been too busy."
Similar reports were common throughout the Show.
"It's been a fantastic show. The foot traffic has been phenomenal and the energy is really up," said Jason Cobb, of Impact by Mastercraft Safety. "People want to take stuff right off the shelf – unfortunately, we don't have the stock for that, but people want to get the product today. Impact's been in in the industry for a long time and it's absolutely imperative that we're here at the PRI Show."
"It's been a great show so far," said CV Products' Ryan White. "It's been busy and very steady. We're getting a lot of good feedback and seeing lot of customers that we don't normally get an opportunity to see on a personal level – and a lot of international customers that you may not get a chance to see anywhere else. The face-time we're able to get here is second to none. We've been coming to the PRI Show for more than 20 years and we're here to stay."
"It's great to be at PRI," relayed Clayton Triggs, of Swift Engineering Inc. "We're expanding our equipment base and we have 60,000 square feet to fill. We're looking to add autoclaves and lathes, as well as some additional machinery and we're very happy with what we've found. The only downside is that my feet hurt because there's so much to see here."
The opening two days have certainly delivered value for this year's Show.
"The aisles are full, but most importantly, people are doing business," said Steve Lewis, PRI Trade Show producer. "We had a great opening day and now it's even bigger on day two. It's a little overwhelming. The unique thing about the PRI Show is that we have such a great diversity here. The bigger teams and shops are in here doing business and acquiring the latest technology, but I also had a young man come up to me and tell me that his family has been coming to the show for years and this will be their one-stop shopping for the entire year."
Forty thousand racing business people from throughout the US and 65 countries are in attendance this year's PRI Trade Show to get current with the latest in racing technology courtesy of the 1,000 motorsports companies introducing their new lines in racing products, machining equipment, motorsport engineering solutions and more.

Its kind of like Devin Townsend was asked to write the soundtrack for Bust-a-Groove. Its fucking great!
I know what youre going to say but fukya!
The album gives me a huge grin every time I put it on. Production on it is huge and brutal - overproduced wouldn't be a shocking thing to throw at it but dang sonnyjim, dat guitar! Youtube doesnt do the sound justice. The band can play like fuck too!
Its so much fun! Want to see them live so bad!
Go download the full album, turn it to max and listen to it from the start, if you dont grin you are dead in the heart!
I think Megitsune is my fav track (BustaGroove Bad Devil ¬_¬).
"Line" does have that amazing breakdown about the 1m30s mark though

Primary date fix could aid Rubio
? TAMPA - At the behest of Sen. Marco Rubio�s staff, the Legislature on Friday tucked a last-minute amendment into major election-reform legislation, changing the state�s presidential primary date in a way that would help Rubio if he runs for president in 2016. The amendment says the presidential primary will be as early as possible without violating rules of the Republican or Democratic parties. In the past two presidential elections, Florida held its primary in January, breaking party rules intended to prevent states from holding earlier primaries. As a result, the parties cut the number of voting delegates the state sent to the conventions. But in 2016, under the amendment adopted just before the Legislature adjourned Friday, Florida will comply with the rules.That means the primary will be weeks later, but full slates of delegates will go to the conventions and vote for the state�s primary winner, including, potentially, a favorite son such as Rubio. Democratic political strategist Steve Schale confirmed that the idea for the change was proposed by Todd Reid, Rubio�s state director. Rubio�s spokesmen didn�t respond to a request for comment late Friday. Amendment sponsor Rep. Jim Boyd, R-Bradenton, said he added it at the request of House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, who couldn�t be reached for comment.

This service has been great! I found the ideal roommates and the most incredible apartment through this service. I wish you existed years ago when I was looking. I paid about $200 last time registering with a bunch of roommate services and got absolutely no results. It too me months to find something. It only took me a week with your service. Thanks! - Susan
This is truly amazing ... a very professional well run site. I was in an emergency situation to find a place in New York while living and working Canada. I was too busy to make tons of calls and visit places in person. Not only did I find a great place with a great roommate... my apartment in NYC is cheaper than my rent in Canada!!!
