Sentence Completion Practice Test 4
Question 1
Despite her fear of heights, she was _______ to be so far up the mountain
- dismayed
- unwilling
- ashamed
- thrilled
- alarmed
Correct Answer: D
The occurrence of the word 'despite' shows that there is a contradiction within the sentence. A woman who has a fear for heights must normally be afraid to be far up in the mountain. But the use of the word 'despite' implies that, on the contrary, she was happy to be there. Among the choices, it is only the word thrilled' that has this meaning. So, (D) is the answer.
Question 2
Many of Eleanor-Roosevelt's harshest critics during the years she lived in the White House late _______ her compassion for all people and praised her work to _______ social justice.
- reemphasized.. spread
- vindicated.. dispel
- overlooked.. declare
- denied.. repress
- acknowledged.. promote
Correct Answer: E
If Eleconor Roosevelt had compassion for all people, and even her critics praised her word, such work, such work would not have been intended to dispel or to repress social justice. Mere declaration of social justice will not be considered to be "word" that would invite praise from critics. So, (B ), (C) and (D) are wrong. It does not make sense to state that her former critics reemphasized her compassion for all people; they could well have belatedly acknowledged her compassion for all people. So, it is the pair of words in (E) which completes a meaningful sentence, and is the answer.
Question 3
Eric maintained the poet, perhaps the most _______ of the Romantic and thus most likely to be ruled by emotion, nevertheless may have possessed a greater capacity for _______ than his famous contemporaries.
- severe.. feeling
- exuberant.. enjoyment
- passionate.. discipline
- delicate.. exaggeration
- ruminative.. observation
Correct Answer: C
The use of the word 'thus' means that the first missing word must mean the same as 'most likely to be ruled by emotion'. Among the choices for the first word, it is only passionate' which has this meaning. The uses of the conjunction 'nevertheless' implies a contradiction between the statements in the first and the second parts. So, the word 'discipline' first in well in the second blank. The sentence now means that, though the poet was the most passionate, he was also the most discipline among his contemporaries. So, (C) is the answer.
Question 4
Freedom for Hanson meant experiencing _______ previously _______; once unable to do more than peer over prison walls, he could now wander wherever he pleased.
- a visibility.. unexpected
- an incarceration.. unknown
- an isolation.. threatening
- a notoriety.. inconceivable
- a mobility.. unattainable
Correct Answer: E
We can understand from the sentence that Hanson had been in prison earlier. If he is now able to under wherever he pleased, his previous plight must have been one in which he was not allowed to walk about, or which denied him mobility. So, the pair of phrases in (E) completes a logical sentence, and is the answer. (The use of the phrase 'once unable to do more than peer over prison walls' would qualify 'a visibility' as suitable for the first missing phrase, but its pair word 'unexpected' does not fit into the sentence logically.)
Question 5
The puzzles that physicists solve are usually those lying about in plain sight, often things so _______ that they are overlooked by all but the keenest observers.
- hidden
- vital
- ordinary
- vague
- small
Correct Answer: C
The puzzles often solved by physicists are described as those 'usually lying about in plain sight'. Among the given choices, 'ordinary' is the most suitable adjective for them. So, (C) is the answer.
Question 6
The attorney general was _______ woman, and even on those _______ occasions where she did lose her temper, she quickly regined her natural imperturbability.
- a trying.. rare
- a peaceable.. infrequent
- an informed.. memorable
- a belligerent.. challenging
- an inarticulate .. particular
Correct Answer: B
If the attorney general had such a disposition that she quickly regained her natural imperturbability even when she lost her temper, she cannot be called trying, or informed, or belligerent (meaning quarrelsome) or inarticulate (meaning 'not clear in expression'). The most appropriate adjective to describe her is 'peaceable'. The use of the phrase 'even on those… occasions' implies that such occasions were not common. So, the word 'infrequent' also fits in well in the sentence, So, (B) is the answer.
Question 7
The metric system is deliberately designed to be simple arithmetically and yet capable of _______ expansion as it becomes necessary to _______ new units of measure.
- confusing.. record
- mathematical.. memorize
- rigid.. discard
- indefinite.. invent
- limited.. correct
Correct Answer: D
The use of the phrase 'and' yet implies that the first missing word must mean the opposite of the phrase 'simple arithmetically'. Among the choices for the first missing word this only the phrase 'capable of indefinite expansion' that has this meaning. Its pair word 'invent' completes a logical sentence. So, (D) is the answer.
Question 8
Carios Saura is not given to explicit statement; his films, which seem hazy because of their psychological _______.
- causality
- poignancy
- conditioning
- allusiveness
- ardor
Correct Answer: D
The phrase, "Carlos Saura is not given to explicit statement" mans that he tries to communicate his thoughts though indirect references or allusions. This obviously would puzzle those who cannot understand indirect statements. So, (D) is the answer.
Question 9
Instances of reticence in the ancient chronicler's recording of calamitous events may simply be an indication of _______ to appear critical of the pharaoh's handling of such _______ situations.
- predisposition.. stressful
- refusal.. promising
- tendency.. catastrophic
- reluctance.. adverse
- aversion.. trivial
Correct Answer: D
Calamitous events cannot be described as promising or trivial situations. So, (B) and (E) can straightway be ruled out on consideration of the choices for the second missing word. A chronicler (meaning palace historian) would not have a predisposition or a tendency to appear critical of the pharaoh's (meaning the Egyptian ruler's) actions, because he would not then have been retained as the palace historian. His reluctance to criticize the king is understandable, because pharaohs were dictators, and would not easily tolerate criticism. So, (D) is the answer.
Question 10
"Meaning" and "truth" are profound and yet _______ pms, for they seem to resist even out most determined attempts at definitive explanation.
- equivocal
- manageable
- insignificant
- unwarranted
- tractable
Correct Answer: A
If the words 'meaning' and 'truth' are not capable of definitive explanation, they cannot be described as 'manageable' or 'insignificant', or 'synonymous', or 'unwarranted'. They can best be described as 'equivocal', meaning 'having more than one meaning'. So, (A) is the answer.
Question 11
A number of American Indian nations have moved to _______ and operate their own private college in response to the perceived inadequacies of mainstream higher education:
- establish
- educate
- restrict
- foreclose
- examine
Correct Answer: A
In response to the perceived inadequacies of higher education, a country could not have educated or restricted or foreclosed or examined new private colleges. It could only have established new private colleges. So, (A) is the answer.
Question 12
In her crusade to make public servants accountable to voters, she _______ the nation's unscrupulous and self-indulgent politicians.
- exposed
- dramatized
- accepted
- foreshadowed
- promoted
Correct Answer: A
: If the nation's politicians had been unscrupulous and self-indulgent, and a woman crusader wanted to make them accountable to the voters, she would not have dramatized, or accepted, or foreshadowed or promoted them, bu7t would have exposed them. So, (A) is the answer.
Question 13
In an effort to _______ the sensations of flight during raining sessions, computer technicians electronically _______ images realistic enough to convince pilots, at least momentarily, that they are actually flying.
- bunteract.. project
- raggerate.. reproduce
- duplicate.. erase
- mulate.. compose
- iminate.. devise
Correct Answer: E
The effort during training sessions for pilots would not be to counteract, or exaggerate, or eliminate the sensations of flight, but would be to duplicate or to simulate (meaning to create artificially) the sensations of flight. So, (C) and (D) are the only suitable choices for the first missing word. If pilots are to be convinced that they are actually flying, computers must be used not to used not to erase realistic images, but to compose them. So, (E) is the only possible answer.
Question 14
Until the nineteenth century, history was largely written by private scholars and literary amateurs and was not seen as an _______, but rather as a branch of iterator.
- artifact
- entity
- offshoot
- accomplishment
- undertaking
Correct Answer: B
The phrase, 'put rather as a branch of literature' means that 'history was not considered as an independent subject in its own right'. The only word among the choices which has the same meaning as the italicized phrase is 'entity'. So, (B) is the answer.
Question 15
Some philosophers believe that what we call reality items from our education and is, therefore, merely we _______ of our own _______.
- syntheis.. innateness
- antithesis.. heritage
- personification.. understanding
- awareness.. observation
- consequence.. conditioning
Correct Answer: E
The clue to the correct answer lies in the phrase 'stems from'. Something that stems from something that stems from something else is best described as a consequence. Its pair word 'conditioning' lends a logical meaning to the sentence. The sentence now means that our education lends a conditioning to us, and it is this conditioning that enables us to perceive reality. So, (E) is the answer.


text: SETPGID(2) Linux Programmer's Manual SETPGID(2) NAME setpgid, getpgid, setpgrp, getpgrp - set/get process group SYNOPSIS #include <unistd.h> int setpgid(pid_t pid, pid_t pgid); pid_t getpgid(pid_t pid); int setpgrp(void); pid_t getpgrp(void); DESCRIPTION setpgid sets the process group ID of the process specified by pid to pgid. If pid is zero, the process ID of the current process is used. If pgid is zero, the process ID of the process specified by pid is used. getpgid returns the process group ID of the process speci- fied by pid. If pid is zero, the process ID of the cur- rent process is used. In the Linux DLL 4.4.1 library, setpgrp simply calls setpgid(0,0). getpgrp is equivalent to getpgid(0). Process groups are used for distribution of signals, and by terminals to arbitrate requests for their input: pro- cesses that have the same process group as the terminal are foreground and may read, while others will block with a signal if they attempt to read. These calls are thus used by programs such as csh(1) to create process groups in implementing job control. The TIOCGPGRP and TIOCSPGRP calls described in termios(4) are used to get/set the process group of the control terminal. RETURN VALUE On success, setpgid and setpgrp return zero. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. getpgid returns a process group on success. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. getpgrp always returns the current process group. ERRORS EINVAL pgid is less than 0. EPERM Various permission violations. ESRCH pid does not match any process. CONFORMING TO SVr4, POSIX, 4.4BSD. CONFORMING TO The functions setpgid and getpgrp conform to POSIX.1. The function setpgrp is from BSD 4.2. The function getpgid conforms to SVr4. SEE ALSO getuid(2), setsid(2), tcsetpgrp(3), termios(4) Linux 1.2.4 15 April 1995 1

Germany's stockholding agency, the Erdolbevorratungsverband (EBV), holds all compulsory stocks.
In 1978, Germany established a public stockholding organisation - the EBV. The Oil Stockholding Law requires the EBV to hold stocks equivalent to 90 days of net imports and of processed volumes of the main products (gasolines, middle distillates and fuel oils). These requirements comply with EU legislation and IEA commitments. The 90-days equivalent of the quantities of refinery output and net imports of major oil products is calculated on the average amounts of the three preceding calendar years, or during the last year, whichever figure is larger. Membership in the EBV agency is compulsory for refiners and importers.
The EBV holds 45% of its stocks in the form of crude oil and 55% as product. The EBV owns more than 90% of its stocks. The remaining stock (maximum 10%) may be "delegated" to the EBV by oil industry operators. Such stocks are generally stored in clearly marked tanks at common storage farms; the leasing company cannot transfer the oil without the written consent of the EBV. Some EBV stocks are stored in commercial tank farms in separate tanks (i.e. they are not co-mingled with industry operational stocks). All the EBV owned and "delegated" stocks are fully available in a crisis and can be quickly passed into the normal distribution chain for delivery to consumers (products) or refiners (crude oil).
By law, EBV stocks must be distributed evenly throughout the regions of Germany. The EBV is required to hold a minimum of 15-days supply of finished products in each region. In practice, almost half of all stocks are stored in Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen). This region has substantial salt cavern facilities that allow for relatively cheap, long-term storage. Emergency transportation capacities exist between regions, although there is no pipeline infrastructure connecting the western and the eastern parts of the country.
Almost 100% of Germany's compulsory stocks are held within its national territory, although the EBV occasionally holds very small amounts in other countries. In principle, Germany allows stock tickets arrangements, but for products only and restricted to a maximum of 10% of the stockholding obligations.
In order to meet its stockholding obligations, the EBV owns part of Germany's storage facilities (mainly those underground). However, it still rents most of its storage capacity. In total, the EBV uses about 200 mb (32 mcm) of storage, of which salt caverns account for 60% and tank farms for 40%.

RE[2]: $0 for students and staff
by haakin on Tue 18th Sep 2012 16:11 UTC in reply to "RE: $0 for students and staff"
The last straw was using LibreOffice's Impress for a formal presentation only to find that it had got massively scrambled in being saved, and half the images failed on actually presenting.
If you are not going to use your own computer, you need to have your presentation as pdf. Just in case something goes wrong. Likely, it will.
I have had similar problems using Powerpoint. The last one, I had a 1-hour presentation and I needed to prepare a shorter version. I just hide 90% of the slides and in my computer those slides weren't shown during the presentation rehearsal. But, they were shown during the presentation in front of the audience. I had a very bad time during those 10 minutes. Some kind of incompatibility between powerpoint versions.

The Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center will be reopening, after closing for more than a year due to Hurricane Harvey, Wednesday, Sept. 12.

LANGLEY, Va., May 3 (UPI) -- U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Director Leon Panetta said Tuesday a photograph establishing the death of Osama bin Laden "will be presented to the public."
In an interview with NBC News, Panetta also acknowledged that some information used in the pursuit and killing of the al-Qaida leader in Pakistan Sunday came from detainees subjected to so-called enhanced interrogation techniques but stopped short of saying the operation benefited from information gained through waterboarding.
Panetta told NBC he has seen the photographs and "we've analyzed them and there is no question it's bin Laden," who was buried at sea soon after he was slain.
He acknowledged the question of "just exactly what kind of impact these photos might have" is a consideration in the decision on releasing them.
"The government obviously has been talking about how best to do this but I don't think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public," Panetta said, adding "the bottom line is that we got bin Laden and I think we have to reveal to the rest of the world the fact that we were able to get him and kill him."
Panetta said the world "is a little safer today" because the man behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the United States is dead but "al-Qaida remains a threat."
A debate has arisen since bin Laden's death about whether waterboarding of detainees produced intelligence that led to the climactic raid. Panetta said the United States had "multiple sources for information."
"Clearly some of it came from detainees and the interrogation of detainees but we also had information from other sources as well," he said. "I think clearly some of the detainees, clearly were, they used these enhanced interrogation techniques against some of these detainees but I'm also saying the debate about whether we would have gotten the sane information through other approaches I think is always going to be an open question."
Separately, Panetta confirmed Pakistan was not told about the raid because it might have leaked word to the target, Time magazine reported Tuesday.
The CIA had been considering for months how to structure the raid on the compound where bin Laden had been staying, Time reported, and had looked at expanding participation to other countries, Pakistan in particular. The CIA ruled out an expansion with U.S. ally Pakistan because "it was decided any effort to work with the Pakistanis could jeopardize the mission.
They might alert the targets," Panetta told the magazine.
A high-altitude bombing by B2 stealth bombers or a cruise missile attack were also considered, Panetta said, but was ruled out because of possible collateral damage to civilians.
Panetta assembled a group of 15 aides April 26 to consider the credibility of the information they had collected on the Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound where bin Laden was believed to be hiding, Time said. The magazine said despite circumstantial evidence bin Laden was living in the compound, U.S. satellites had not photographed him or members of his family.
The group could not reach a consensus, but Panetta concluded there was strong enough evidence to risk a raid, the magazine reported. He then took his case to President Barack Obama.
Obama heard arguments for and against the raid Thursday, and Panetta conceded evidence of bin Laden's presence at the compound was circumstantial, Time reported. But Panetta said he told the president and his advisers, "We have the best evidence since [the 2001 battle of] Tora Bora [where bin Laden was last seen], and that then makes it clear that we have an obligation to act."
Time said Panetta only learned Friday the president had been convinced by his arguments when Obama said he was authorizing the helicopter mission in a signed letter.
After he received Obama's order, Panetta ordered Vice Adm. William McRaven, head of the Joint Forces Command, to begin the mission.
Intelligence reporting suggests one of bin Laden's wives who survived the attack said the family had been living at the compound since 2005, a source told Time, raising questions about Pakistan's knowledge of his whereabouts.

Tim Wakefield In Limbo...Baltimore, The Red Sox Are Coming
The Boston Red Sox bring their 2010 act to Baltimore to face the woeful Baltimore Orioles for a three game series. The trio of games features the debut of Daisuke Matsuzaka on Saturday, who reportedly has looked smooth and effortless on the mound. He'll be preceded by a motivated John Lackey and followed by Josh Beckett, who has been working on "smoothing" his pitching motion. He hasn't had an easy time of it so far but either has Tim Wakefield, who hasn't pitched badly but was nudged (kicked?) out of the rotation by Daisuke's return. Here what the Boston Red Sox manager, Terry "Tito" Francona, had to say about that awkward situation...
"I don't think we can have a schedule for him (Wakefield). I just don't think you can do that. It'll be a challenge. Or maybe it won't be a challenge. Depending on how our starters are, maybe it's very easy. That's not so good either. We basically came to spring training with six guys in our rotation, knowing that we're not going to use all six," Francona said. "But, if everything's perfect, we have to find a way to keep the six ready, but not use them at the same time. We'll keep an eye on things. There's different ways to go about it."
Different? Maybe, but I feel badly for Timmy. He's always given his all for the sake of his team. Long relief? I know the powers-that-be are stuck between a rock and a hard place but it's still a shame. Who knows? Injuries always crop up. Believe me, I do not want them to.
Yesterday, the Red Sox promoted first baseman Lars Anderson up to Triple A Pawtucket. Good for him. With Youk at first and Beltre manning third, there's no spot for him right now on the big club but his bat will be invaluable in the near future. He is the future, though. The future is coming up fast.
Thanks for stopping in on this Friday, the last day of April. It was the warmest April EVER here in Connecticut and the weekend promises to bring temperatures into the mid-80s. That's amazing! Click on this post's title for a fascinating article that identifies the ten most hated MLB teams. Try to guess where the Sox are! I guarantee you'll be surprised, maybe even shocked. Just click on the title of this post to find out and watch John Lackey, tonight's starter in Baltimore, spin a gem. He's very motivated by the back-to-back gems by Buchholz and Lester. Good luck to him, and to you. As always, BE WELL.

Library trustees table resolution to censure colleague
Trustee says colleague used expletive toward him
Bad blood continues to boil on the Carol Stream Public Library board in the aftermath of Ann Kennedy's firing as library director.
Two trustees have called for the censure of Trustee Jim Bailey for statements they say he made at the board's Aug. 15 meeting.
The board was set to vote on the resolution Wednesday, but at Bailey's request, trustees voted 4-3 to table discussion of the matter until their Oct. 17 meeting.
Trustee Jerry Clark said Bailey used an expletive toward him, and Trustee David DeRango said Bailey made an accusation that DeRango tried to punch him in the face.
Bailey has denied making either statement, and instead says he used a similar word in talking to Clark but not the word in question.
He also said the action of censure is baseless since there's no provisions for it in the library's bylaws.
Discussion at the August meeting became heated when trustees were debating the board's policy for contacting the library's legal counsel, Ancel Glink.
Bailey said it was "restrictive" for trustees to be required to channel questions to the attorney through Board President Mike Wade.
Wade said he didn't want to limit any trustee's access to the attorney, but wanted one opportunity to speak to that trustee to see if the issue could be resolved beforehand.
"I want one opportunity to respond before we run up our legal bills," Wade said.
Bailey responded, "Mr. Wade, in all fairness, the board would appreciate the same kind of courtesy we did not receive when you entertained a discussion with our attorney in dismissing our director."
And though the board voted 4-2 to fire Kennedy, her supporters, including Bailey, objected to Wade contacting the attorney to draft a separation agreement without consulting the board first.
As the discussion continued, Bailey made a statement to Clark, who was sitting next to him.
"I just had a profanity used towards me," Clark said. "That wasn't civil. I used that language when I was in the Navy."
Bailey, Wade, Mary Hudspeath and Dominick Jeffrey voted to table consideration of the censure resolution to the October meeting, and Clark, DeRango and Susan Galle voted against.

Whether we like it or not, when it comes to Kim Kardashian, we're all, in a sense, amateur Kardiologists.
We know about the reality show, the sex tape, the quickie marriage to an NBA star, Kanye West and the Kimya wedding. We're told she's a fashion designer, model, actress, socialite and blogger. We see she's a wearer of bikinis.
Still, why Kim Kardashian is famous is a mystery.
"I do not know what she does," Stephen Colbert joked on his Comedy Central show this week, echoing the thoughts of many of us. When someone's primary expertise is omnipresence, the more we know, the less we actually learn.
But we're getting more insight from Kim's latest and more unlikely role as a rather convincing video game character.
"Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," a free-to-play mobile game by the reality star, is one of the more refreshingly honest critiques of our city and the celebrity culture it feeds. Released in late June for Apple and Android devices, the game has been a constant in Apple's most-downloaded app charts. Developer Glu Mobile announced this week that "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" generated $1.6 million in its first five days of release.
And, yes, a game involving a Kardashian does at first warrant a roll of the eyes.
"Dating famous people will get you more fans," the game tells us after loading. Moments later it informs us that pets are good for our self-image. Later, it educates us on the three things that matter when it comes to success: "Exposure, exposure, exposure!"
Still, as vapid as it all seems, it doesn't take long for it all to ring uncomfortably true.
The premise is simple. Players create a svelte character, male or female, and it arrives preordained as a future tabloid-worthy celeb. The rest of the game consists of climbing to the A-list and navigating the world as a famous person.
Kim is in the game, popping up regularly to dispense advice or give players rewards, acting as a sort of Clarence Odbody for the severely self-interested. She's our celebrity guardian angel, letting us know when it's time to get an agent or get a date (a Kim-approved date, as she has a contact list filled with both "sporty girls" and "the artistic kind").
"Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" is cleverly designed to offer us a look behind the curtain. It gives us a glimpse at strategizing conversations with publicists, and it lets us in on some ace talking points for dates (hint: famous authors). We have run-ins with catty paparazzi, and celebrity bloggers are viewed as low-life celebrities themselves.
But after playing a harangued celebrity for a while, I began to feel empathy for Kim, a person who formerly represented all that can be disdainful about our gossip-obsessed culture.
That's because "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" shows us that being a star 24/7 is kind of a drag. The game is a sort of virtual Trojan Horse, where we all realize that despite the glamour and the cash, the Kardashians must live under the microscope or risk obscurity.
Make a seemingly innocent remark, and wait for it to be misinterpreted on the Internet. What to wear, when to text, where to dine and what to tweet become monumental decisions when the game (like the press and social media) is constantly grading your every move as indicator of social status.
In this sense, the game exaggerates our unfortunate reliance on image and the minute-by-minute quest for attention. It's a pursuit that's at the core of our social media age — the exact infrastructure that keeps, say, Kim Kardashian in daily headlines despite the fact that she rarely generates any real news.
It's worth noting that "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" may just be the most enlightened video game released yet this year for the simple reason that it treats same-sex couples as the norm. "So you didn't flirt with that guy at the Brew Palms," Kim told my female avatar, Kes, early in the game. "Not interested in him, or maybe you're looking to meet women?"
And it's smart. When a gossip-monger trashed Kes on the Internet, mocking her relationship with Kim as fake, she did so with the following in-game tweet: "Total conspiracy! #Illuminati #Obamacare."
These topical and progressive flourishes make up for some of the game's less-becoming traits, namely the pressure to buy in-app purchases (the game may be fun, but you didn't expect Kim to be altruistic, did you?). You'll need energy to schmooze because being a star is draining.
And if you truly want to ascend from the D-list to the A-list you'll probably need to buy some energy boosts using the game's currency — shiny and silver "K" stars which can be slowly accrued or paid for with real-life cash.
Looking into "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" is to be the Evil Queen peering into a Magic Mirror that's reflecting a disheartening truth. There's always someone fairer in a world where our own Twitter feeds and Instagram portraits have twisted our daily lives into small-scale reality shows. And we can't stop watching.

European Union leaders, seeking to avoid a repeat of the crisis that has dogged the 27-country bloc for the past three years, are debating plans for an unprecedented shift of national financial policy powers to the EU.
Here are the main points they are discussing:
— The broad terms of a banking union: This will provide a single rulebook for banks and set out a coordinated approach to helping lenders that get in trouble. EU leaders have already agreed to set up a banking supervisor under the aegis of the European Central Bank, the first step toward creating a banking union.
— Giving a European authority within the banking union the right to close down or restructure banks. In the latter case, bailout funds would come from the banking sector, not taxpayers.
— Creating a uniform deposit-guarantee system across Europe. This would add confidence to savers and reduce the risk of runs on banks that run into financial trouble.
— Giving the EU a say over the national budgets of countries that use the euro and others that agree to the plan. Such controls would make sure member states do not spend more than they are allowed, making sovereign bailouts less likely.
— Creating a budget for the eurozone to support structural reforms in financially troubled nations, fight unemployment or boost growth. This would effectively create a eurozone finance ministry. It could also foresee the possibility of eurobonds — jointly-issued debt among eurozone states. This a controversial idea that would reduce the borrowing costs for some countries but raise it for others.
— Increasing the European Parliament's say in financial policies. This hopes to give more say to popularly elected EU officials in that area. Officials in the European Commission, which currently manages the EU's financial policies, are not elected but appointed.

Paper Work
"New York artist Robert Reitzfeld has a devoted cult following, but his paintings are not nearly as well known as they ought to be....The paintings show a witty merger of Pop art idioms and post-painterly abstraction, like a mutant blend of John Wesley, Michael Bevilacqua and Gerhard Richter. In each of the exuberant compositions, Reitzfeld offers a unique balance of formalist elements and absurdist drama."

Defining Your Dating Style: The Guided Path – Part I
- Rick Holland Author
- 2005 31 Aug
They were upset - really upset! After I finished preaching that Sunday morning, they charged me like I was a matador.
"Rick, don't you think dating is wrong? Isn't courtship the way they did it in the Bible?"
Before I could answer, another girl instantly added, "Rick, the word courtship isn't even in the Bible, is it? And God never says that dating is wrong, right?"
I am a pastor of nearly one thousand collegians in the Los Angeles area. LA is a college town like few others. Over fifteen colleges and universities are represented in our ministry, and many of these students come to our church from a variety of backgrounds. Each brings a set of ideas about how to do relationships. I think it is fair to say that we have just about seen it all when it comes to ideas about romance.
The above interchange characterizes much of what's happening in the great dating debate. Many people are more passionate about the process they use than the person God has called them to be. Oftentimes, method is emphasized over theology; process is emphasized over personal maturity; and premarital methodology, which is short-term, is emphasized over marital understanding, which is long-term.
The collision of ideologies about how to do premarital relationships can be ugly. I saw it on the faces of those two college girls who approached me that Sunday morning. I had no choice but to decide what I believe about relationships and romance and unabashedly teach it. This chapter summarizes what I've concluded.
Each contributor to this volume has been invited to participate because of a commitment to conducting relationships biblically. But the fact that you are holding this book is evidence that there is no consensus on what that means. The number of books promoting models and methods for acquiring a spouse grows almost monthly. Perusing the relationships section of a Christian bookstore is much like walking through the cereal aisle at the grocery store. New options seem to show up every time you visit.
All that said, I believe we can learn and apply much from each of the relationship models presented in this chapter and in the chapters before and after mine. But I also believe it is unwise to conclude that the Bible prescribes a specific blueprint for finding your one and only.
A Closer Look at the Dating Controversy
What is good about this debate is that Christians are taking dating and romance seriously. The controversy has forced us all to evaluate the source of our beliefs. Even better, it has launched a reengagement with the Bible as the authority for whom and how we marry.
As with many discussions about biblical issues, the dating debate has involved some unfortunate elements. One example is the problem of definitions. Not all in the dating camp agree on what dating actually is and what regulates its standards. It is not fair to categorize all dating ideologies as the same (as is true in this book). In many books and Web sites that criticize dating from a Christian perspective, seldom is it admitted that dating could be approached in a way that honors God. Often the criticism is built on worse-case-scenario dating relationships.
And those in the courtship/betrothal camp have no consensus on what courtship is either. Try reading the courtship books by Doug Wilson, Josh Harris, and Paul Jehle back-to-back.39 These courting approaches have much in common, but they also include some major differences. Unfortunately, most books and Web sites assume there is agreement on the meaning of terms.
In reality, there exists a spectrum of beliefs within each relational model. Not all courtship systems are the same. And the term dating can refer to anything from sharing a cup of coffee to a serious relationship.
The Place to Start
The Bible is the ultimate source for "all things that pertain to life and godliness" (2Peter 1:3).40 As such, it is the sole source for what God thinks, commands, ordains, and allows for man, the crowning glory of His creation. But most of us also know that the Bible never mentions dating, nor does it mention courtship. You can search any Bible concordance in vain to find either of these words in even a single verse. You will find the words betrothed and engaged in Scripture. But because they are used either in passages regulating Israel's family structure or in describing the situation in a narrative account, it is challenging to apply their specifics today.
But God's Word does discuss premarital relationships. At the risk of overgeneralizing, those who hold to a dating method approach these passages more generally, drawing out principles from these texts, while those who hold to a courtship/betrothal method approach these same passages more specifically, drawing out practices. So the significant difference between the two approaches lies in the specificity with which the scriptural data can be applied.
The question that really underlies the dating debate is how to apply the prescriptives about getting married that we read in the Law (Genesis through Deuteronomy), and the descriptions of relationships in the narratives, or stories. This is not a simple question to answer. For example, is it legitimate to see the commands in the Law concerning premarital relationships as binding, while leaving other commands strangely unapplied? I have yet to see a strong argument made for paying a poor worker every day instead of every payday. But that is what the Law commands (see Deuteronomy 24:14-15). And what about narrative literature? Why do some argue that we should imitate the Isaac story in Genesis 24,41 but few - if any - suggest that the pattern in Ruth 3 should be an example? Ruth waits until Boaz goes to sleep, lies down by his feet, and proposes when he wakes up!
My point is this: No matter which method you propone, it is more complicated than it sounds. The thing is, who would argue with a system in which godly parents partner with godly children to pair up godly couples for godly marriages as they do in betrothal and courtship? It sounds too good to be true. Sometimes it is not - the system can work just as it sounds, resulting in God being glorified and marriages being enjoyed. But for courting to really work, many intricate pieces need to come together in perfect harmony. Two sets of parents and two singles need to be on the same page about the system and about each other.
I will admit it. If courting worked out in practice the way it looks on paper, you could count me in. But what concerns me most about the courtship movement as I've seen it is that it lends itself to a strange form of idolatry. Advocates of courtship are understandably passionate about their system - so much so that they often try to convert daters to courters with an evangelistic zeal. Unintentionally, the courting system itself can become so important to courters that God is deemphasized. On the other hand, while courting and betrothal are often selective in applying Scripture, many dating models ignore or neglect major biblical principles. Dating relationships typically operate with few thought-out guidelines. Many who date take a largely passive approach. And few who date could give a biblical justification of what they are doing. Often the issue is not one of interpreting the Bible; they are not even using the Bible. Sadly, much of the literature describing and defending dating is built more on love stories than biblical instruction.42
Not all dating relationships or the books promoting them are bad or unbiblical. It is an unfair and unfounded criticism of dating to say that if one dates, one is sinning. Nowhere does the Bible indicate that an unengaged couple spending time together is a sin - unless they are committing fornication. Countless couples have enjoyed Christ-exalting marriages resulting from Christ-honoring dating relationships. Who you are in your character as a result of being in Christ is more important than whether you date or court. Josh Harris' thoughts are helpful:
What I hope you see is that avoiding lawlessness and legalism is far more important than whether we use the word dating or the word courtship.
I happen to like the term courtship. It's old-fashioned, but it evokes romance and chivalry. I use it to describe not a set of rules, but that special season in a romance where a man and woman are seriously weighing the possibility of marriage. I think it's helpful to distinguish between undefined and directionless romances (what I said goodbye to) and a romantic relationship that is purposefully headed towards marriage. But the fact that I use the word courtship to describe my relationship with Shannon doesn't make me holier than people who don't.
None of us should allow a debate over words to distract us from what really matters in relationships. "Dating versus courtship" isn't the point. I've known "serial courters" who lived like the devil and "saintly daters" guided by integrity and holiness. In and of themselves, the terms they used to describe their relationships were meaningless. The way they lived is what really mattered. Terms don't define our lives; our lives define our terms.43
Additionally, Doug Wilson writes, "Being married amplifies what a person is."44 If you are the right kind of person, are looking for the right kind of person, and pleasing Christ is your highest priority, the method you use is secondary.
39See Douglas Wilson, "Her Hand in Marriage: Biblical Courtship in the Modern World" (Moscow, ID: Canon Press, 1997); Josh Harris, "I Kissed Dating Goodbye: A New Attitude Toward Romance and Relationships" (Sisters, OR: Multnomah, 1997) and "Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship" (Sisters, OR: Multnomah, 2000); and Paul Jehle, "Dating Vs. Courtship" (Plymouth, MA: Plymouth Rock Foundation, 2001).
40Unless otherwise identified, all Scripture quotations in this chapter are taken from the English Standard Version (ESV).
41Jehle, 113, Note Jehle's assertion about the Isaac and Rebekah narrative: "In principle it is an authoritative guide for us to follow" (emphasis added).
42One example is Eric and Leslie Ludy, "When God Writes Your Love Story" (Sisters, OR: Loyal Publishing, 1999). The Ludys have an encouraging story and share lots of good advice. But though their book includes some applicable biblical texts, it is made up predominantly of stories that warm the heart; but carry no scriptural authority.

Things suddenly look very unsettled in the Phillies rotation.
The Phillies need a starter for tomorrow night's series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. They might need another starter Sunday, too.
Kyle Kendrick got rocked last night in a 10-8 loss to the Florida Marlins. He allowed seven runs in 1 1/3 innings, which made last night the worst start of his career. His previous worst start happened Aug. 11 against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, where he allowed seven runs in 3 1/3 innings. Kendrick is 1-4 with an 11.35 ERA (29 earned runs in 23 innings) in his last six starts, beginning with that start in Los Angeles.
He has not pitched six innings once in that stretch.
He has allowed six or more runs four times.
If this were the beginning of the season, the Phillies could afford to be patient with Kendrick. But there are only 17 games left and they're 2 1/2 games behind the Mets in the National League East and three games behind the Brewers in the wild card.
They need to make up some ground quickly. Kendrick is not helping matters.
"We'll talk about our pitching. We'll try to figure out the best possible way for us to go," Charlie Manuel said about Kendrick's spot in the rotation.
The Phillies appear to have a few options at this point:
Give the ball to Kendrick.
Give the ball to lefthander J.A. Happ. He allowed five hits and three runs in 31/3 innings in relief of Kendrick. But he also had an 8.49 ERA in his last three starts for triple-A Lehigh Valley. The Brewers also hit .275 against lefthanders, compared to .247 against righthanders. "This is the stretch drive and he's kind of inexperienced with where you're going to put him," Manuel said. "I'm not saying he can't do the job because I've seen him pitch a good game, and he's going to be a good big-league pitcher."
Adam Eaton? Manuel would not even say that's a possibility last night, and for good reason. Eaton was 4-8 with a 5.80 ERA before the Phillies optioned him to the minors in July. He went 0-4 with a 7.02 ERA in seven starts in the minors. If he had shown signs of anything positive in the minors, maybe they could go this way. But he actually pitched worse against minor-league hitting.
Pitch Brett Myers on three days rest. He has pitched on short rest just once in his career: Oct. 3, 2004. He is 1-0 with a 5.40 ERA (three earned runs in five innings).
Make it a bullpen day.
I expect to know more about tomorrow night's starter before today's series finale against the Marlins. The Phillies might not announce a decision on Sunday's starter until later this week.
Bob Ford writes that with 17 games to play it's no time for Manuel to be patient with his players. Go with the hot hand.
In the Phillies Notebook: Jamie Moyer could pitch on short rest tomorrow night.

Now that George Lucas has announced he's selling Lucasfilm, including Star Wars, to Disney, the big question in my mind is what will happen to Star Wars fan fiction?
Lucas has long been welcoming of fanfic adaptations of his Star Wars properties. The House of the Mouse, on the other hand, has long been the leader in pursuing ever larger copyright entitlements, dismissing issues of cultural and expressive freedom.
So, will the copyright stormtroopers be coming after camcorder-weilding Star Wars geeks?
Joe Mullin tackles the issue on Ars Technica: Disney owns Lucasfilm: will it have room for Star Wars fan movies?
Mullin's post includes an embedded YouTube video with an awesome Cops spoof featuring stormtroopers. It's so awesome, I'll just embed it here, too.
You can't tell me the world's not a little bit better when Hollywood outsiders can create and distribute gems like this:

This is by far the best memory album I've ever laid eyes on. I have had so many people ask me where did I get it from, only because I take it every where with me so that I can jot down notes for the pages and what I
want to do with them. I was even offered money on the spot for mine...but quickly directed them to your web site.
Thank you so much for your awesome products! I love having things that you can't pick up at your everyday craft stores.
I adored this album and cannot wait to fill it with wonderful stuff! Lots of different colors, shapes and textures...this is an album that will NEVER leave you feeling bored. And honestly, you can just keep adding and adding to it and it will take whatever you throw at it. Will I ever be "done"? Probably not!
This is literally the prettiest mini scrapbook I've ever seen! The coordinating colors and patterns are fun and modern. The page layering see-through and pop-through elements are fun. Unique and clever design, great quality and a great price point! Can't wait to add some HS Color Pop elements to my book!
I, unfortunately, love all scrapbook.com items. This one is very unique and will be great to put my grandchildren in as I always receive different size pictures, so will be adaptable as well as attractive.
This album is just gorgeous!!! I just want to look at it!
It holds a ton of material. Worth the money. I bought 2
and will buy more in the future. Thank you Heidi for
creating such 'Pretty Stuff'!

The Seagram Building in New York City—with its impeccable proportions, elegant bronze-and-glass curtain wall, and graceful plaza—is without question one of the great structures of the twentieth century. A key player in making it happen in 1954 was Phyllis Lambert. She was a 27-year-old artist living in Paris, when her father, Samuel Bronfman, founder of the Seagram distillery, asked her to take over the search for an architect to design the company's headquarters in New York City. She traveled the country, visiting architects, and ultimately picked Mies van der Rohe. The rest, as they say, is history.
Lambert has now written a fascinating account of the 38-story tower, Building Seagram (Yale University Press, 2013). Metropolis editorial director Paul Makovsky recently spoke to Lambert at the Four Seasons Restaurant in the Seagram Building, where they discussed the book, how she picked Mies for the project, and the legacy of the Canadian Centre for Architecture—the museum she founded in her home city of Montreal.

"Soul Train." the televised house that Don Cornelius built on a bedrock of soul, funk and ahead-of-their time dance moves, will celebrate its 40th anniversary Monday in concert at Pritzer Pavilion in Millennium Park.
Chicago soul greats Jerry Butler, the Impressions, the Emotions and Gene Chandler will perform with an orchestra, and Cornelius himself is expected to attend.
Below is an essay I wrote last year upon the release of the "Soul Train: The Hippest Trip in America" documentary:
"I was one of the guys who could throw down," Don Cornelius says in a new documentary about his era-defining run as host of the nation's funkiest televised dance party, "Soul Train: The Hippest Trip in America."
He's not boasting. As they say on the streetcorner, show and prove, and one of many smile-inducing moments in the documentary is rare footage of Cornelius strutting his fine stuff on his own show with the Supremes' Mary Wilson. Cornelius learned how to glide on the dancefloor while growing up on Chicago's South Side during the '40s and '50s, then segued into a career as a radio and TV newsman and DJ. While employed at WCIU-TV in the '60s, he started hosting soul dance parties around the city and eventually approached station management about a show based on the same idea.
"Soul Train" debuted in 1970 with a budget so tight it couldn't afford color cameras or a dancefloor bigger than a typical living room. But the show was an instant hit in Chicago, and started consuming the after-school viewing time of a young, African-American audience that other teen-oriented shows, including Dick Clark's "American Bandstand," largely ignored. Cornelius called in a host of favors, getting artists he had met over the years such as Curtis Mayfield, the O'Jays, B.B. King and Jerry Butler to perform.
But his smartest move was bringing in young dancers he met at parties or on the street to shake, shimmy and strut on the show while the music played. These loose-limbed teens and young adults were the show's real stars (though they were unpaid), and their plethora of moves – from the "robot" to the "pop and lock" – are still in vogue today. Michael Jackson copped his moonwalk from one of the show's dancers, who debuted it in the '70s. Among the dance troupe's alumni are actress Rosie Perez, singer Jody Watley and rapper MC Hammer.
Cornelius may not have been the best dancer at his own party, but he could strut in other ways, first and foremost as the owner of his own business – one of the most successful African-American empire builders in an industry dominated by whites. He partnered with another black-owned Chicago institution as a sponsor, Johnson Products, which struck a chord with black kids with products such as Afro Sheen. The music, the commercials, the dancers, the fashions, the "scramble board" spelling out the name of a prominent African-American leader --- every facet of "Soul Train" proclaimed "black is beautiful," a source of tremendous pride in a community struggling for its civil rights.
Above all, the show was great fun. As a baritone-voiced host who could embellish a phrase, Cornelius was the unflappable ringleader, engaging but never unctuous or too excitable. He created a world where kids came to "style a while" and left with a hefty dose of "peace, love and soul." In the tradition of great Chicago soul dusties DJs on radio, Cornelius projected an erudite, bespectacled cool in his double-breasted suits, even as he called on his viewers to dance the funky chicken in their living rooms.
The show moved to Los Angeles in its second year and entered into national syndication, turning Cornelius from local impresario into a music-industry tastemaker. Instead of begging artists to perform, Cornelius was fielding requests from superstars to appear on his show. Instead of lip-synching to their latest hit record (as was the custom in the show's early days) the high-profile guests began performing live, sometimes with a 40-piece orchestra, as was the case with Barry White. Classic performances by the likes of Al Green, Aretha Franklin, Sly and the Family Stone and James Brown were a weekly occurrence. White performers came calling too, and David Bowie and Elton John sang Cornelius' praises.
He weathered the challenges posed by disco and hip-hop, and his show (sometimes reluctantly) adapted to the times. The host was not shy about admitting his inability to embrace hip-hop. "That was frightening," he said after Public Enemy performed at the height of its considerable powers. But he understood the music's importance in the community, and showcased everyone from L.L. Cool J to Snoop Doggy Dogg. He got out in 1993. Though the show continued into the next decade with a series of hosts, none of them could throw down quite like the master.
Chicago's 40th anniversary Soul Train concert: 6:30 p.m. Monday at Pritzker Pavilion, Millennium Park, free; millenniumpark.org.

Who Made It: Fede Alvarez steps up to remake Sam Raimi's indie horror classic – with Raimi's blessing.
What's It About: A group of teens head to a cabin in the woods, find the Necronomicon, and try to survive a demonic onslaught.
Why We Want to See It: We're curious to see if Alvarez's version can compare to Raimi's original – and if it can live up to the tagline proclaiming it "The Most Terrifying Film You Will Ever Experience." That's probably hyperbole, but we want to be sure. -- Mike Bracken

George Page is suing The Real Housewives of Atlanta franchise. George was featured on a previous episode, during which he is seen on a five-minute speed date with Sheree Whitfield in Atlanta.
In the clip, Page is seen telling a(n) extremely really corny joke to Sheree while equally corny music and sound effects play in the background.
TMZ reports in the lawsuit, which was filed last week in State Court in Chicago, Page claims he never gave permission to Bravo to show his face on TV — and was assured by producers that he would be edited out of the show.
Page is suing Bravo and NBC for at least $50,000 for infringing on his Right of Publicity and for causing him "emotional distress."
Something tells me this lawsuit will not go very far. Reality shows in general, especially the really popular ones such as the Housewives' series, are notorious for getting release forms signed from any and everyone, before they can show their faces on TV.
They even make sure they get release forms signed from random people in the background of scenes. We should be hearing news that this lawsuit has been dismissed any minute from now.

Ten-man Ajax ended a run of nine straight defeats to Spanish opposition by beating Barcelona 2-1 in Champions League Group H on Tuesday night.
Thulani Serero opened the scoring for the hosts in the 19th minute with a composed finish from six yards out before Danny Hoesen extended Ajax's lead just before the break with a neat piece of skill inside the penalty area.
Barcelona was gifted a way back into the game when Joel Veltman was dismissed for bringing down Neymar inside the penalty area and Xavi scored from the spot but the Liga champions were unable to make the most of their numerical advantage.
The win moves Ajax onto seven points with one game remaining and the club's hopes of progressing to the last 16 rest on beating AC Milan at San Siro, while defeat for the Blaugrana was the club's first of the season and denied coach Gerardo Martino a share of Pep Guardiola's club record of 21 games unbeaten.
Frank de Boer had the luxury of being able to name an unchanged side from Saturday's 3-0 win over Heracles and there was a further boost as Lerin Duarte returned to the squad as a substitute.
The visitors made four changes, with Carles Puyol, Martin Montoya, Alex Song and Xavi all starting for Martino's men.
Despite a confident start, Ajax was lucky to survive a swift Barcelona counterattack in the 14th minute, as Veltman made a crucial block to deny Cesc Fabregas.
It was all one-way traffic for the remainder of the first half, though, and the home side got its reward for continuing to pressurise Barcelona at a high tempo as Serero opened the scoring with his first Champions League goal five minutes later.
The South Africa international ghosted into the penalty area to meet Ricardo van Rhijn's cross from the right and the 23-year-old calmly side-footed the ball past Jose Manuel Pinto.
After Lasse Schone had missed two chances, Ajax finally doubled its lead just before the break through Hoesen. Pinto saved well from Viktor Fischer and Hoesen latched onto the loose ball, lifted it past Puyol and fired into the bottom corner.
The game was turned on its head four minutes after the break as Van Rhijn played a loose pass back to Veltman. Neymar pounced but he was brought down by the defender just inside the area.
The 21-year-old was given his marching orders and Xavi made no mistake from the spot to halve the deficit.
Jasper Cillessen kept the hosts in the game with a good save from Neymar on the hour and a resilient Ajax defence managed to hold on for a vital win.

The use of this outside the context of mapping legacy data is not recommended.
Polymorphic persistence requires the declaration of each subclass of the root persistent class. For the table-per-class-hierarchy mapping strategy, the
declaration is used. For example:
Each subclass declares its own persistent properties and subclasses.
properties are assumed to be inherited from the root class. Each subclass in a hierarchy must define a unique
. If this is not specified, the fully qualified Java class name is used.
For information about inheritance mappings see
Inheritance mapping
Each subclass can also be mapped to its own table. This is called the table-per-subclass mapping strategy. An inherited state is retrieved by joining with the table of the superclass. To do this you use the
element. For example:
A discriminator column is not required for this mapping strategy. Each subclass must, however, declare a table column holding the object identifier using the
element. The mapping at the start of the chapter would then be re-written as:
A third option is to map only the concrete classes of an inheritance hierarchy to tables. This is called the table-per-concrete-class strategy. Each table defines all persistent states of the class, including the inherited state. In Hibernate, it is not necessary to explicitly map such inheritance hierarchies. You can map each class with a separate
declaration. However, if you wish use polymorphic associations (e.g. an association to the superclass of your hierarchy), you need to use the
mapping. For example:
No discriminator column or key column is required for this mapping strategy.
Using the
element, it is possible to map properties of one class to several tables that have a one-to-one relationship. For example:
For example, address information for a person can be mapped to a separate table while preserving value type semantics for all properties:
This feature is often only useful for legacy data models. We recommend fewer tables than classes and a fine-grained domain model. However, it is useful for switching between inheritance mapping strategies in a single hierarchy, as explained later.
element has featured a few times within this guide. It appears anywhere the parent mapping element defines a join to a new table that references the primary key of the original table. It also defines the foreign key in the joined table:
We also present ourselves as sacrifice in union with Christ (Romans 12:1; 1 Peter 2:5) to be used by God in the work of redemption, reconciliation, and justice. In the Great Thanksgiving, the church prays: "We offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving as a holy and living sacrifice, in union with Christ's offering for us . . ." (; page 10). [9]
A formal statement by the
Buy Cheap Many Kinds Of casual sports sneakersoutdoor walking shoeslightweight running shoes Cheap Footlocker Footaction Cheap Price Shipping Discount Sale Sale Online Store q611yG
affirms that "Methodists and Catholics agree that the sacrificial language of the Eucharistic celebration refers to 'the sacrifice of Christ once-for-all,' to 'our pleading of that sacrifice here and now,' to 'our offering of the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving,' and to 'our sacrifice of ourselves in union with Christ who offered himself to the Father.'"

Roman Catholic theology speaks of the Eucharist not being a separate or additional sacrifice to that Christ on the cross; it is rather exactly the same sacrifice, which transcends time and space ("the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world") (Rev. 13:8), renewed and made present, the only distinction being that it is offered in an unbloody manner. The sacrifice is made present without Christ dying or being crucified again; it is a re-presentation to God, of the "once and for all" sacrifice of Calvary by the now risen Christ, who continues to offer himself and what he has done on the cross as an oblation to the Father. The complete identification of the Mass with the sacrifice of the cross is found in Christ's words at the last supper over the bread and wine: "This is my body, which is given up for you," and "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed...unto the forgiveness of sins." The bread and wine, offered by Melchizedek in sacrifice in the old covenant (Genesis 14:18; Psalm 110:4), are transformed through the Mass into the body and blood of Christ (see Women Slippers Strange Style Summer Female High Heels Nicekicks Cheap Price Cheap Real Buy Cheap Pre Order owrHZP3

and the offering becomes one with that of Christ on the cross. In the Mass as on the cross, Christ is both priest (offering the sacrifice) and victim (the sacrifice he offers is himself), though in the Mass in the former capacity he works through a solely human priest who is joined to him through the sacrament of Holy Orders and thus shares in Christ's priesthood as do all who are baptized into the death and resurrection of Jesus, the Christ.

Daniel Brim 06/30/2018 Walker Buehler 46 Comments
On Thursday, the Dodgers recalled Walker Buehler from the disabled list without sending him out for a rehab assignment. Buehler had last pitched three weeks prior and was then placed on the disabled list due to a microfracture in his ribs. Rather than the standard rehab assignment, they elected to "rehab in the majors" in a relief role, piggy-backing Clayton Kershaw 's start. Kershaw himself followed a similar path five days prior. However, Buehler did not fare nearly as well, allowing five runs in an inning-plus of work. Following the poor performance, Buehler was optioned to Rancho Cucamonga to be further monitored while ramping back up to a starting role. In this weird sequence of events (which culminated in the Dodgers playing one man down last night), the Dodgers have essentially pried a year of free agency away from Buehler.Walker Buehler Clayton Kershaw
In order to get credit for one full "year" of service time, a player must spend at least 172 days on an MLB roster or the MLB-level disabled list. Since the MLB season is 187 days long, this has led to teams

for a few weeks to start a season. The Cubs famously did this with Kris Bryant in 2015, as did Atlanta with Ronald Acuna this year. After being held back in 2015, Bryant will finish the 2020 season with five years and 171 days of service time (one day short of a full sixth year), and thus must play out the entirety of the 2021 season before reaching free agency.
This tactic rightfully draws ire from pro-labor parts of the internet because it doesn't even try to conceal its true purpose. It's exploiting the difference between the definition of a year (172 days) and the length of a season (187 days) in order to move back a player's bigger payday. It's a bad rule in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, but that doesn't mean that a team shouldn't be called out for exploiting it. Saving money doesn't make a practice "correct," a connection which is drawn too often.
