Before Brendan Shanahan even gets to his scheduled hearings with Penguins forwards James Neal and Arron Asham, this much we know:
Pittsburgh will be without forward Craig Adams for Game 4 and coach Dan Bylsma's pockets will be a little lighter.
Adams was suspended one game on Monday, a mandatory suspension as per NHL rules for being handed an instigator penalty in the waning moments of Game 3. The rules (46.12, 46.22) stipulate that a player receives an automatic suspension for an instigator call with under five minutes to play in regulation or in overtime.
It's the NHL's way to try and curb games from getting out of hand late.
It didn't work on Sunday.
Bylsma was fined $10,000, also an automatic penalty, since coaches are supposed to be in control of players late in games. His fine money will go to the NHL Foundation.
Adams was simply caught in the middle. He was forced to clean up for Sidney Crosby's dirty business, once Crosby grabbed Scott Hartnell by the back of his jersey and tried to tangle. Adams needed to step in since Crosby does not normally fight. Now, it has cost him a playoff game.
Neal and Asham are scheduled for hearings on Tuesday. Asham's is of the "in person" variety, meaning that he will need to be seen in person by Shanahan at the league's New York headquarters.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Three alleged members of a violent American Indian gang known for terrorizing people in the Upper Midwest were convicted Tuesday in what authorities called one of the largest gang cases to come out of Indian Country.
An alleged leader of the Native Mob, 34-year-old Wakinyon Wakan McArthur, was found guilty on several charges including the most serious one he faced, racketeering conspiracy. But he was acquitted on an attempted murder charge that stemmed from the shooting of another man that prosecutors said McArthur ordered.
Two alleged gang "soldiers" — Anthony Francis Cree, 26, and William Earl Morris, 25 — were both convicted of attempted murder in aid of racketeering, in addition to other charges. Morris was the only defendant cleared of racketeering, a charge often used by prosecutors to target mobsters and organized crime.
A sentencing date has not yet been set, but all three men face a maximum of between 20 years and life in prison, according to the U.S. attorney's office. The men were the only defendants who didn't accept plea deals after 25 people were originally charged in a 57-count indictment.
Prosecutors said the case was important not only because of its size, but because the racketeering charge is a tool rarely used against gangs — indicating the case was an attempt to take down the entire enterprise.
"The verdicts reflect the seriousness of the crimes that were being committed by the Native Mob, which includes not only drug trafficking, but discharging of firearms at innocent people, and trafficking firearms, and basically wreaking havoc through communities throughout the state of Minnesota," Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Winter said after the verdicts were read.
Winter said authorities have "conservative confidence" that they put a serious dent in the Native Mob but that investigations will continue.
Defense attorneys had said the government's case was overblown, and that while gang members may have committed individual crimes, there was no evidence to support racketeering charges alleging the trio was part of a large, organized criminal group.
McArthur's attorney, Frederick Goetz, said his client's acquittal for attempted murder indicates the jury recognized the three defendants' culpabilities varied.
"It was a mixed result for a mixed verdict," Goetz said, adding that he would likely appeal.
Cree's attorney, John Brink, said he would raise the issue of inconsistent verdicts on appeal.
Morris' attorney, Tom Schiah, cited the same issue but added that he was glad Morris was acquitted of the racketeering charge. Still, Schiah acknowledged his client was "looking at a boatload of time."
The 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment called the Native Mob one of the largest and most violent American Indian gangs in the U.S., most active in Minnesota and Wisconsin but also in Michigan, North Dakota and South Dakota. It is made up of mostly American Indian men and boys, and started in Minneapolis in the 1990s as members fought for turf to deal drugs. The Native Mob is also active in prison.
The Native Mob had about 200 members, with a structure that included monthly meetings where members were encouraged to assault or kill enemies, or anyone who showed disrespect, according to the indictment. Authorities said McArthur was a "chief" of the Native Mob, and directed other members to carry out beatings, shootings and other violent acts to intimidate rivals.
Prosecutors said that in 2010, Morris tried to kill a man by shooting him multiple times while he was with his 5-year-old daughter. The indictment said the shooting was done at McArthur's bidding.
Although McArthur was cleared of the attempted murder charge stemming from that allegation, jurors also convicted him of distributing and conspiracy to distribute drugs and using a firearm in a violent crime. He was acquitted of assault with a dangerous weapon in the aid of racketeering and using a firearm in a violent crime.
Along with the attempted murder charge, Cree and Morris were each convicted of assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering and using a firearm in a violent crime. Cree also was found guilty of conspiracy to distribute drugs, while Morris was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
In his closing argument last week, Winter told jurors there was no question the Native Mob was a criminal enterprise, complete with rules, defined roles and bylaws. He said the gang's racketeering activity included drug trafficking, attempted murder, murder and witness retaliation.
"When you have a criminal organization, witnesses become a problem," Winter said. "To make money, the reputation of the Native Mob has to be intact, and when the reputation is threatened, it has to be protected."
Goetz said during closing arguments that the case was one of monumental overreach.
Christopher Grant, a national Native American gang specialist in South Dakota, has said there are hundreds of American Indian gangs nationwide. Most, he said, are loosely organized and might have as few as five members, but that he considered the Native Mob to be the most organized, violent and predatory in Indian Country.
The trial, which began in January, included nearly 1,000 exhibits and 180 witnesses.
Associated Press writer Amy Forliti contributed to this story.

STOCKTON - The California Highway Patrol just concluded three months on the streets of Stockton assisting the Police Department with patrols and enforcement in high-crime areas in an attempt to dampen the city's rampant violence.
STOCKTON - The California Highway Patrol just concluded three months on the streets of Stockton assisting the Police Department with patrols and enforcement in high-crime areas in an attempt to dampen the city's rampant violence.
"We view the overall joint effort as a success. Several of our officers expressed to me they enjoyed working alongside Stockton police officers and helping them out," said Officer James Smith, a spokesman for the CHP's Stockton office.
Stockton police spokesman Officer Joe Silva expressed similar sentiments. Since Nov. 1, when the joint task force began, 68 guns have been seized, and there were 122 felony arrests, 106 misdemeanor arrests and 2,184 traffic stops. The task force conducted 355 probation and parole searches, focusing on the city's most violent criminals and gang members.
Taking into account Stockton's record 71 homicides during 2012, the monthly rate dropped significantly after the joint operation began. Following October's 11 homicides, there were six in November and four in December. As of Monday afternoon, there were no homicides reported in Stockton through January. By Jan. 28 last year, there had been five.
"By looking at the statistics, we were very encouraged with the joint operation," Silva said. "Going beyond the stats, we were even more encouraged by the positive feedback we received from the community that saw us out in those high-crime areas with additional law enforcement.
"Any time you get two agencies working together targeting violent criminals and gang members, we view that as a success."
Gov. Jerry Brown's original order authorized the CHP to assist Stockton for 60 to 90 days. After evaluating the joint operation over the past couple of weeks, the city has asked for an extension and is waiting for a response from the Governor's Office.
In a prepared statement, Police Chief Eric Jones said he "wishes to thank the Governor's Office as well as California Highway Patrol Commissioner J.A. Farrow for allowing California Highway Patrol officers to work alongside Stockton police officers during our efforts to reduce violent crime in the city of Stockton."
Silva said that even without the CHP patrolling the city on a daily basis, his department remains "committed to proactive police work, going out in high-crime neighborhoods with the Community Response Team, the Countywide Gang Task Force and other regional task forces that target violent criminals and gang members, especially those known to use guns to commit their crimes."
The CHP's Smith said Stockton-area Highway Patrol officers "are committed to ensuring the safety of our community" and will continue to assist Stockton police as resources allow on a call-to-call basis.

UK Plans To Make All Government-Funded Research Free To The Public Immediately Upon Publication
from the groundbreaking dept
Of course, some people take offense to any such exclusivity, seeing as we're still talking about taxpayer-funded research. Over in the UK, it appears that they're going to go completely in favor of open access, with a plan requiring immediate free access to any taxpayer-funded research. That's big news.
Unfortunately, not all of the details sounds as good. The proposal tries to make the journals okay with this by forcing researchers to pay an "article processing charge" for each paper they publish, and it sounds like some of those funds go back to the publishers. But, of course, that's putting more of the cost on the universities that fund the research, and there's reasonable fear that this will lead those universities to ration out how many publications are "allowed." Many open access advocates preferred a different plan, that still involved academics doing deals with journals, but which also allowed them to publish the works online. The publishers, of course, weren't happy with that plan.
More open access is definitely a good thing, but I worry about any sort of plan that involves an explicit attempt to prop up a legacy industry that doesn't want to adapt. That seems very likely to create economic waste and to be abused at the cost of the public.

Redwood Falls Apartment Resident Charged in Fatal Fire
REDWOOD FALLS (AP) — A Redwood Falls man is charged with murder and arson after a fire last month killed a 72-year-old man living in his apartment building.
Forty-eight-year-old Peter William Warren appeared in court Monday on charges of second- and third-degree murder, second-degree manslaughter and 10 counts of first-degree arson.
Redwood Falls police and fire departments were called to a fire at the Lakeside Manor Apartment building on Jan. 24. Crews found Gene Gilland unresponsive in his apartment. He was taken to a hospital but died from fire-related causes.
Redwood County Attorney Steven Collins says authorities believe Warren started the fire in a closet in the building's dining room. The motive is unclear.
The fire displaced all 52 residents of the building.
Unconditional bail is set at $1.5 million.

A man who committed "appalling and horrific" murders is not entitled to remain anonymous while he seeks rehabilitation, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
Three judges said double murderer X, who stabbed his ex-girlfriend and her lover to death in 1996 should not be allowed to keep his identity secret from the press and the public.
It emerged some time after the judgment that X still cannot be named while he seeks to take his case to the Supreme Court for a final ruling.
X said he was entitled to anonymity because he is a hospital patient receiving treatment for mental illness.
The question of him remaining anonymous arose when he challenged a decision refusing him unescorted leave in the community, which is a key step to eventually being allowed to live in the community on parole.
In what is believed to be the first case of its kind, X appealed against High Court judge Mr Justice Cranston's order that he can be named.
Today, Master of the Rolls Lord Dyson and appeal judges Lord Justice Maurice Kay and Lord Justice Floyd unanimously ruled against him.
Lord Justice Maurice Kay said in the lead judgment that Mr Justice Cranston "was not wrong to refuse an anonymity order".
Stephen Knafler QC argued that X, who sexually mutilated one of his victims, had the right to anonymity because his mental illness trumped the public interest in him being identified.
Mental patients who committed crimes were entitled to protection, including from press harassment, "no matter how horrific those crimes are", said Mr Knafler.
He accepted the X killings "are high up on the scale of horrific crimes".
But that was no reason to deny him the anonymity all mental health patients are entitled to when their cases are considered by courts and mental health tribunals.
Mr Knafler told the appeal court: "There is absolutely no precedent for the order Mr Justice Cranston made in this case. I cannot find a single case where it has been done before."
Dismissing the appeal, Lord Justice Maurice Kay said: "I accept the need to protect a released criminal from media intrusion or physical attack can be a material consideration in the context of an anonymity application.
"However, it is of limited weight in the present case.
"The position is not significantly different from that which arises when any notorious, violent or sexual offender leaves prison on licence or otherwise, and regardless of whether or not he has been a mental patient."
The anonymity issue arose because X went to London's High Court earlier this year to challenge a 2013 refusal by the National Offender Management Service (Noms) to grant him unescorted community leave.
The court heard that X was convicted 17 years ago. Both his victims received multiple stab wounds and one was sexually mutilated.
He finished serving the 11-year minimum period, or tariff, he had to remain in custody some time ago, and the authorities can now consider whether it is safe to release him on licence.
While in prison, he was diagnosed with a personality disorder and other mental health problems and transferred to Broadmoor high security hospital under the 1983 Mental Health Act.
Since then he has been moved to a medium-secure hospital where, the court heard, he has progressed to having frequent unescorted leave within the hospital grounds - and more than 300 escorted leaves in the community.
Kate Olley, appearing for Justice Secretary Chris Grayling, said he was "strongly opposed to the idea there should be any general presumption of anonymity" in cases like that of X.
But Mr Grayling remained "neutral" with regard to the X case and believed every case should be considered on its own merits and in the light of its own circumstances, which could vary widely, said Ms Olley.

(1) It must be recognised that the cause of all world unrest, of the world wars which have wrecked humanity, and the widespread misery upon our planet, can largely be attributed to a selfish group with materialistic purposes, who have for centuries exploited the masses and used the labour of mankind for their selfish ends . . . This group of capitalists has cornered and exploited the world's resources and the staples required for civilised living; they have been able to do this because they have owned and controlled the world's wealth through their interlocking directorates, and have retained it in their hands. They have made possible the vast differences existing between the very rich and the very poor; they love money and the power which money gives; they have stood behind governments and politicians; they have controlled the electorate; they have made possible the narrow nationalistic aims of selfish politics; they have financed the world businesses and controlled oil, coal, power, light and transportation; they control publicly or sub rosa the world's banking accounts.
The responsibility for the widespread misery to be found today in every country in the world, lies predominantly at the door of certain major interrelated groups of business men, bankers, executives of international cartels, monopolies, trusts and organisations, and directors of huge corporations, who work for corporate or personal gain. (7 - 70/1).
(2) A war is starting between the selfish monied interests and the mass of humanity who demand fair play and a right share of the world s wealth. (7 - 72).
(3) War can be and is mass murder, where the motive is wrong. It can be sacrifice and right action, where the motive is right. The slaying of a man in the act of killing the defenceless is not regarded as murder. The principle remains the same, whether it is killing an individual who is murdering, or fighting a nation which is warring on the defenceless. (13 - 180).
(4) Death, through the destructive processes of war, is under the directive and cyclic intention of the planetary Logos, working through the Coun- [Page 421] cil Chamber of Shamballa. The Beings Who there direct world processes know that a time has come when the relation between planetary evil, and the Forces of Light or of Good have reached a point of "explosive antagonism" (as it is called). This must be given free rein if the divine purpose is to work out unarrested. The explosion is therefore permitted; nevertheless, all the time a controlling factor is present, even though unrealised by man. Because these Beings (Who work out the will of God) are in no way identified with form life, they have consequently a just appreciation of the relative importance of life in form; the destruction of forms is to Them, not death in the sense that we understand it, but simply and solely a process of liberation. It is the limited vision of those identified with form, which has so consistently nurtured the fear of death . . .
The basis of all wars is fundamentally the sense of separateness. This fundamental individualism or pleased recognition of isolationism, leads to all the secondary causes of war: greed, producing economic disaster; hatred, producing national and international friction; cruelty, producing pain and death. (17 - 431/2).
(5) The war: 1914-1945. Millions died; more millions suffered cruelly in their form nature, and many more millions underwent (and are still undergoing) the mental agony of insecurity, suspense and poverty. Nevertheless, two major results of a spiritual nature, working under the Law of Perfection, resulted:
1. Souls were released from a backward and decaying civilisation - for such is your vaunted civilisation from the angle of the Hierarchy - and will return in better bodies to a civilisation and a culture more in conformity with the needs of spiritual man. The main reason why there has been such a complete destruction of the old forms (physical, emotional and mental), is that they constituted a complete imprisonment of the soul, and negated all true growth for the masses of men.
2. From the rich to the poor, from the intelligent to the ignorant, one thing is now clearly grasped, and will increasingly colour human thinking: happiness and success are not dependent upon the possession of things, or upon material good. (17 - 661).
(6) There has been a far greater spiritual significance to the war than has yet been realised. It marked a world turning point; it reoriented humanity towards the good; it drove back the Forces of Evil and made definitely clear (and this was new and needed) the true distinction between good and evil, and this not in a theological sense - as stated by the church commentators - but practically and obviously. It is evidenced by the dis- [Page 422] astrous economic situation, and by the greed of the prominent men in every country. The world of men (through the obviousness of the distinction between good and evil) has awakened to the fact of materialistic exploitation, to the lack of real freedom and to the rights, as yet unclaimed, of the individual. Man's ability to resist slavery has become apparent everywhere. That the strugglers towards freedom are employing wrong methods, and are endeavouring oft to fight evil with evil, is entirely true, but this indicates only transitional techniques and a temporary phase; it is temporary from the point of view of the Hierarchy (though possibly long from the angle of men in the three worlds), but it need not necessarily be long today. (17 - 666/7).
(7) Men deal with effects and not with causes; for instance, mankind is concerned with war, and with horrified preparations for more war, and is not primarily occupied with that which causes war and which, if rightly handled, would prevent war. (18 - 730).
(1) The Wesak Festival has been held down the centuries in the well-known valley in the Himalayas (if the faithful would only believe it) in order:
1. To substantiate the fact of the Christ's physical existence among us ever since His so-called departure.
2. To prove (on the physical plane) the factual solidarity of the Eastern and Western approaches to God. Both the Christ and the Buddha are present.
3. To form a rallying point and a meeting place for those who annually - in synthesis and symbolically - link up and represent the Father's House, the Kingdom of God and Humanity.
4. To demonstrate the nature of the work of Christ as the great and chosen Intermediary, standing as the Representative of the Spiritual Hierarchy, and as the Leader of the New Group of World Servers. In His Person, He voices their demand for the recognition of the factual existence of the Kingdom of God, here and now.
Perhaps one of the major messages for all of us who read these words is this great truth and fact, of the physical Presence on Earth at this time of the Christ, of His group of disciples and executives, of Their representative activities on behalf of mankind, and of Their close relationship. (8 - 45/6), (13 - 599).
[Page 423]
(2) This year 1946 marks the beginning of a cycle in which humanity is more closely involved in the festivals than ever before, and in which they can take a much more important part than ever before. The Wesak Festival has long been kept in many countries and - as time goes on and the instruction of the masses proceeds - the meeting held at the time of the May Full Moon will assume great importance, but its keynote will be changed. What the new keynote will be has not yet been announced, and will not be for 35 years. As I earlier pointed out, its significance, and that of Good Friday, belong to the past, and their usefulness is nearly finished. It is the intention of the Buddha and the Christ that in each country there should eventually be someone who will act as Their Representative at the time of the two Festivals, so that the distribution of spiritual energy from the first great Aspect or Ray will be direct from the Buddha (and later Shamballa) to the Christ, and then from the Christ to those disciples in every country who can be overshadowed, and so act as channels for the direct current of energy.
The same procedure will be followed at the time of the Full Moon of June, except that Shamballa will not be so involved, and with the difference that at the May Festival it will be a first ray disciple who will be overshadowed, and at the June Festival a second ray disciple will represent the Christ in every land. This can mean either the soul or the personality ray of the disciple. (13 - 553).
(3) No cost is too great to pay in order to be of use to the Hierarchy at the time of the Full Moon of May, the Wesak Festival; no price is too high in order to gain the spiritual illumination which can be possible, particularly at that time. (5 - 629).
(1) (Wisdom) has to do with the development of the life within the form, with the progress of the spirit through those ever-changing vehicles, and with the expansions of consciousness that succeed each other from life to life. It deals with the life side of evolution. Since it deals with the essence of things and not with the things themselves, it is the intuitive apprehension of the truth apart from the reasoning faculty, and the innate perception that can distinguish between the false and the true, between the real and the unreal. It is more than that, for it is also the growing capacity of the Thinker to enter increasingly into the mind of the Logos, to realise the true inwardness of the great pageant of the universe, to vision the objective, and [Page 424] to harmonise more and more with the higher measure . . . Perhaps it might be expressed as the gradual blending of the paths of the mystic and the occultist - the rearing of the temple of wisdom upon the foundation of knowledge.
Wisdom is the science of the spirit, just as knowledge is the science of matter. Knowledge is separative and objective, whilst wisdom is synthetic and subjective. Knowledge divides; wisdom unites. Knowledge differentiates whilst wisdom blends.
. . . Wisdom concerns the one Self, knowledge deals with the not-self whilst the understanding is the point of view of the Ego, or Thinker, or his relation between them, (1 - 11/2).
(2) Wisdom, actuated and motivated by love, and intelligently applied to world problems, is much needed today, and is not yet to be found, except among the few illumined souls in every nation - in every nation I say, without exception. Many more must love with wisdom, and appreciate the group aspiration, before we shall see the next reality to be known and to emerge out of the darkness which we are now in the process of dispelling. (14 - 342)
(3) Wisdom connotes skill in action as the result of developed love and the light of understanding; it is awareness of requirements, and ability to bring together into a fused relationship the need and that which will meet it. (16 - 494).
(4) Wisdom is the enlightened application of knowledge, through love, to the affairs of men. (13 - 467).
(5) Wisdom takes the place of knowledge when, in the transmuting fires of struggle, pain and hard work, the aspirant transforms himself into the working disciple and is gradually absorbed into the ranks of the Hierarchy. (6 - 394).
(1) The basis of all manifested phenomena is the enunciated sound, or the Word spoken with power, that is, with the full purpose of the will behind it. Herein, as is known, lies the value of meditation, for meditation produces eventually that inner dynamic purpose and recollection, or that internal ideation which must invariably precede the uttering of any creative sound. (1 - 150).
(2) What the initiate is learning to do is to make sounds consciously, and thus produce a studied and desired result; to utter words, and be fully [Page 425] aware of the consequence on all planes; and to create forms and direct energy through sacred sounds, and thus further the ends of evolution. (1 - 155).
(3) The aspirant has . . . to control his speech every minute of every day. This is a statement easily made, but most difficult to make practical. He who achieves it is rapidly nearing emancipation. This applies not to the reticence, the moroseness, the silence, and the voicelessness which often distinguishes natures but little evolved, and which are in reality an inarticulate condition. It refers to the controlled use of words to effect certain ends, and the retention of speech energy when not needed - a very different matter. It involves a realisation of cycles; of times and of seasons; it supposes a knowledge of the power of sound, and of the effects produced through the spoken word; it involves an apprehension of the building forces of nature and their due manipulation, and is based on an ability to wield mental matter, and to set it in motion, in order to produce results in physical matter, consonant with the clearly defined purpose of the inner God. It is the shining forth of the second aspect of the Self, the Vishnu, or form-building aspect, which is the prime characteristic of the Ego on its own plane. It would be well to ponder on this. (1 - 156/7).
(4) Every Word, differentiated or synthesised, affects the deva kingdoms, and hence the form-building aspects of manifestation. No sound is ever made without producing a corresponding response in deva substance, and driving multitudes of tiny lives to take specific forms . . . The majority of human beings as yet build unconsciously, and the form constructed is either of a beneficent or a maleficent agency, according to the underlying motive or purpose of the man. (1 - 159).
(5) Words of Power, ancient mantrams (such as the Lord's Prayer) and the Great Invocation, are only effective if used upon the mental plane, and with the power of a controlled mind - focussed on their intent and meaning - behind the spoken effort. They then become potent. When said with the power of the soul as well as with the directed attention of the mind, they automatically become dynamically effective. (13 - 144).
(6) Words of Power (and this is true also of the O.M.) are all of second ray origin . . . They are, therefore, intended for soul use because the soul is the expression of the second aspect of divinity, and only the soul can really employ these Words and sounds and thus produce the desired results, which are always in line with the divine Plan. It is frequently forgotten that they must be used by the soul in a dynamic manner, involving the serious recognition of the will aspect. ( 13 - 145).
[Page 426]
(1) I want briefly to touch upon the most common of all causes of trouble: Worry and Irritation. They are more prevalent at this time than ever before, and for the following reasons:
1. The world situation is such, the problems and uncertainty are such, that scarcely a person in the world at this time is exempt. Everyone is more or less involved in the planetary situation.
2. The intercommunication between people has increased so much, and men live so much in massed groups - large or small - that it is inevitable that they produce an effect upon each other as never before. "If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it", is a statement of truth, ancient but new in application, and today realised for the first time.
3. The increased sensitivity of the human mechanism, is also such that men "tune in" on each other's emotional conditions and mental attitudes, in a new and more potent manner. To their own engrossing concerns and worries, are added those of their fellowmen with whom they may be en rapport.
4. Telepathically, and also with a developed sense of prevision, men are today adding the difficulties that belong to someone else, or to some other group of thinkers, and of people, to the difficulties that may be. It is not sure that they will be.
These problems will demonstrate to you how intensely difficult it is for men to face up to life. It will be obvious that the problems of worry and irritation are many, and must be considered.
Why are these difficulties of the astral body so "perilous" and serious? Worry and Irritation are dangerous because:
1. They lower the vitality of the man to such a point, that he becomes susceptible to disease. The scourge of influenza, has its roots in fear and worry, and once the world settles down to freedom from the present "fearful" condition, we shall see the disease die out.
2. They are so highly infectious from the astral point of view, that they lower in a peculiar manner the astral atmosphere, and thus make it hard for people - in the astral sense - to breathe freely.
3. Because the astral condition of fear, worry, and irritation are so widespread today, that they might be regarded as epidemic, in a planetary sense.
4. Because irritation (I speak not here of worry) is inflammatory in its effects - and inflammation is hard to bear - and leads to much difficulty.
[Page 427]
It is interesting to note that certain forms of eye trouble are caused by this.
5. Because worry and irritation prevent true vision. They shut out the view. The man who is the victim of these conditions, sees nothing but the cause of his complaints, and is so submerged through self-pity, self-consideration, or in a focussed negative condition, that his vision is narrowed, and his group hindered. (17 - 69/71).
(2) There is little that anyone can do when tests and deep distress and anxiety overwhelm a disciple, except to stand by in love, send healing thoughts and invoke the inner strength of the soul that the vehicles can be used. (5 - 564).
(1) Astrology is based, curiously enough, upon illusion, for, as you well know, the zodiac is naught but the imaginary path of the sun through the heavens, and this as it appears from the standpoint of our totally insignificant planet. The sun is not, as stated, in any sign of the zodiac. It simply appears to be so, as it passes between our little sphere, the Earth, and the constellations, at any particular time or season. (16 - 4)
(2) From the point of view of humanity, the passage of the Sun around the zodiac is apparently a slow and laborious process, taking approximately (on the plane of time) 25,000 years. (16 - 81).
(3) It must be borne in mind that we are entering another greater round of the Zodiac, and this coincides with the lesser zodiacal activity, because Aquarius governs the greater immediate cycle of 25,000 years, and is also the sign into which the sun is now moving for a period of 2,300 years - a most amazing happening and full of import in our planetary history; it is a coincidence of which our planetary Logos is well aware, and of which He is making full and intelligent use. (13 - 567).
(1) I close with an appeal to all who read these instructions to rally their forces, to renew their vows of dedication to the service of humanity, to subordinate their own ideas and wishes to the group good, to take their eyes off themselves and fix them anew upon the vision, to guard their [Page 428] tongues from idle speech and criticism, from gossip and innuendo, and to read and study, so that the work may go intelligently forward. Let all students make up their minds in this day of emergency and of rapid unfolding opportunity, to sacrifice all they have to the helping of humanity. Now is the need and the demand. The urgency of the hour is upon us, and I call upon all of you whom I am seeking to help, to join the strenuous effort of the Great Ones. They are working day and night in an effort to relieve humanity and to offset those evils and disasters which are immanent in the present situation. I offer to you opportunity, and I tell you that you are needed - even the very least of you. I assure you that groups of students, working in unison and with deep and unfaltering love for each other, can achieve significant results.
That each of you may so work, and that each of you may lose sight of self in realisation of world need, is the earnest prayer and deepest aspiration of your brother, THE TIBETAN. (4 - 639/40).
(2) Age-long identification with the form side of life is not easily overcome, and the task ahead of the disciple is a long and arduous one, but one which promises eventual success, provided there is clear thinking, earnest purpose, and planned scientific work. (10 - 265).
(3) From them (the disciples and aspirants) the WAY opens up, and for them comes the conscious recognition of the light. The need for the service of men and women, free from illusion and glamour, has never been so dramatically present as it is today, and it is for these potential servers of a desperate necessity that I have written.
That the Angel of the PRESENCE may make His nearness felt, and inspire you to pass courageously through the fires of the burning ground, is my earnest prayer; that the fact of the PRESENCE may be sensed by you, and lead you to greater activity - once the burning ground is passed - is my deepest wish for you; and that the light may shine upon your way, and bring a certain and assured consummation of all the travail and struggle which has characterised your way of life, is my heart's desire for you. To more active and steady enterprise I call you. THE TIBETAN. (10 - 271/2).
(4) This series of text books of occultism, and of the occult forces which I have written, are intended to act as sign posts, and as beacon lights upon the way to knowledge. They contain hints and suggestions, but must be interpreted by each student according to the measure of light which is in him. Let him study what is going on around him in the light of the Plan, and of the knowledge here imparted, and let him seek to trace for himself the emergence of the instinctual psychical nature of Deity in world affairs [Page 429] and in his own life, for it is happening all the time. He must ever remember that he himself possesses a psychical nature which is a part of a greater whole, and, therefore, subject to impression from divine sources. Let him cultivate in himself the trend to synthesis; let him make the words, "I will not be separative in my consciousness", one of the key thoughts of his daily life. (15 - 234/5).
(5) I will say no more at this time. I have sought to indicate that which should be possible. If my suggestions are followed, and if the work is carried forward diligently, there is every indication that the work of the Hierarchy and of the Christ, will be tremendously expedited. The need and the opportunity call for right understanding, and they demand also a joyful co-operation, and the sacrifice of yourselves and of your time and money, in the attempt to make our work possible.
I make no further appeal for your help. I have been endeavouring to educate you in the new ideals, and in the work of the New Group of World Servers. The responsibility for right action, and for the effort to reach the public, rests upon the aspirants and disciples of the world who read these words. There is nothing that I, personally, can do. It is your time (and all of you, without exception, can give some) for which Christ and humanity are today calling. It is your activity and skill in reaching those you can reach, for which we make demand. It is
your money that is needed to enable us to reach the interested public. It is your meditation and intense inner co-operation, which will construct that channel through which the spirit of peace can work, and the forces of Light enter. The Hierarchy waits. It has done all that is possible from the angle of Its opportunity. The Christ stands in patient silence, attentive to the effort that will make His work materialise on earth, and enable Him to consummate the effort He made 2,000 years ago in Palestine. The Buddha hovers over the planet, ready to play His part if the opportunity is offered to Him by mankind. I beg you to note what I here have said. Everything now depends upon the right action of the men of goodwill. (15 - 750/1).
(6) We know that this is the hour of humanity's greatest opportunity, and that if men can pass triumphantly through this and (by the strength of their own souls) surmount this very present evil, then the evolution of humanity will be hastened beyond all that was believed possible. It will constitute a release, self-achieved and self-initiated. This means as much in the life of mankind as it means in the life of the individual disciple. That chance and that opportunity must not be taken from man; the gained [Page 430] spiritual and eternal values are of far greater importance than his temporary agony.
Little as you may realise it as you think of US in Our so-called safe retreats, the capacity of identification with all that is involved in world pain today, and the sensitivity of Those connected with the Hierarchy to the unhappy condition of humanity, makes Their task of standing-by one of supreme spiritual agony. They understand the depths of the reaction of humanity; They comprehend and understand, for They are one with all men. This involves a far greater comprehension than you can grasp, and one which can only be adequately expressed in the word "identification". They need the staunch support of all Their disciples, the steadfast love, the loyal attitude, the unquestioning response to human need which will enable Them to carry more easily the heavy burden which human karma has laid upon Them, and which They carry voluntarily.
Will you give this? Will you aid Our work in every possible way, both as personalities, dedicated to service, and as souls who walk the lighted Way? The need of humanity for love and light, the need of the Hierarchy for channels and for those who will work under direction upon the earth, can call forth all that you have to give and can evoke your soul (the only true reward that the disciple seeks) in power and love. This will happen to you, if you will forget the little self. (5 - 101).
(7) And so from stage to stage the disciple passes, going from light to light, from perception to perception, from force to energy, from personality focus to soul integration, and then, from soul to spirit, and from form to life. He has explored all the avenues of knowledge; he has descended into the depths, into hell and into the valleys; he has climbed the mountain top of initiation, and from there has swung out beyond space and time; he has lost all self-interest and is a focussed point of thought in the mind of God. Can I say more than this? I think not, my brothers. And so I bring to an end this series of instructions and my responsibility in this connection is ended. Yours now begins. (5 - 773).
(8) All that I can hope and pray is that your individual will can be merged into the divine will, that revelation will be increasingly yours, and that you will with increased steadfastness tread the Path from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. (18 - 718).
(9) May light and love and power shine upon your ways, and may you in due time and with as little delay as possible stand before the Initiator and join the ranks of Those Who - actively and consciously - love Their [Page 431] fellowmen, work as reconstructive and regenerative Energies and forever - SERVE.
I sign myself . . . as the Master Djwhal Khul.

Hedge funds cut bets on a commodity rally to a four-year low on signs of surplus supply in everything from coffee to zinc before Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said prices had fallen too far and investors should buy.
Speculators reduced net-long positions across 18 U.S. futures and options in the week ended March 5 by 9.2% to 405,885 contracts, the lowest since March 2009, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. They are the most bearish on copper in four years, and are also betting on declines for coffee, hogs, sugar, soybean oil, wheat and natural gas.
Commodities retreated 4.8% since reaching a four- month high Feb. 13, even as optimism about the global economy drove the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities to a 56-month peak. Supplies will outpace demand for 12 of 18 metals and agriculture goods, according to Barclays Plc and Rabobank International. Goldman raised its three-month outlook for raw materials to "overweight" from "neutral" on March 7, saying accelerating Chinese growth will support prices.
"There is a disagreement about the extent of how much demand for commodities will rise based on growth," said Jack Ablin, who helps oversee about $66 billion of assets as chief investment officer of BMO Private Bank in Chicago. "Commodities became a victim of their own success as higher prices have created more supplies. People who have been looking for a vehicle that can generate income and keep pace with inflation have invested in equities."
Trading Partners
The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 commodities climbed 1% last week. The MSCI equity index gained 1.8%, while the dollar rose 0.5% against six trading partners. Treasuries lost 0.9%, a Bank of America Corp. index shows. The GSCI gauge was little changed today.
The raw-materials index rallied 85% in the four years to Dec. 31 as record global stimulus measures revived economies and sent prices of gold, corn, soybeans, copper and cotton to records. A weakening dollar also increased the appeal of commodities denominated in the currency. The dollar climbed 3.7% against six major trading partners this year, the best start since 2009.
Investors pulled $4.66 billion from commodities this year, according to EPFR Global, which tracks money flows. That compares with an inflow of $5.05 billion a year earlier, the researcher said. Commodity assets under management totaled $430 billion in January, from a record $451 billion in April, data from Barclays show.

After a morale sapping 2-0 loss in New England last week, the Fire need to pick themselves up for the visit of Eastern Conference table toppers Sporting KC Friday night. There has been no love lost between the sides over the past few seasons and this one promises to be no different. Here are few things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Changes to the Fire defense – who will replace Bakary Soumare
Since the return of Bakary Soumare, the Fire's starting back four has remained virtually unchanged despite some less than stellar performances. Soumare's suspension forces Frank Klopas into making a tough decision.
The two most likely options are moving Jalil Anibaba into the middle and replacing him with Logan Pause/Wells Thompson/Mike Videra or keeping Jalil at right back and drafting Hunter Jumper into the middle.
The latter seems the more likely choice, especially considering Jumper's height and the coaching staff's desire to play big men against Sporting KC in the past. Jumper has had limited playing time this season (just one appearance so far) and will need to adjust to a SKC team who started off so well at Toyota Park last time out.
A strong start and scoring first will be a huge boost to the Fire psychologically.
How to break SKC down – target the outside defenders
Kansas City have the second best defensive record in the East thanks in part to a brilliant goalkeeper and rock solid central defense pairing but it's on the outside of the defensive four that some cracks appear.
In SKC's recent loss against New York, more than one of the goals scored by the Red Bulls came from getting in behind the defense. With players like Mike Magee, who is so good at making runs, the Fire need to be trying to play through balls as much as possible Friday night.
Getting into 1v1 situations with the SKC outside backs is another good tactic. Joel Lindpere has made no secret of his desire to play in the middle and not on the wing, where he feels that his lack of place and ability to take a man on are on show.
With that in mind, switching Alex to the wing is a good option. With Alex and Dilly Duka on the wings, the SKC outside defenders would certainly be on the back foot for most of the night.
SKC wing play – don't allow easy crosses
Just as the Fire should be looking to attack down the wings, the Men in Red must also be wary of SKC's wide play. Normally, SKC rely on U.S. international Graham Zusi to create from midfield but in his absence, more emphasis has been put on getting the ball wide and putting crosses into the box for Bieler, Kamara and Saad.
In Sporting's last match against New England, this tactic worked to perfection, with the first two goals of the night coming from crosses. New England allowed the SKC players far too much room to pick people out with crosses.
The Fire must be quicker to close Kansas City down, especially when they get the ball into the wide areas. It is expected that Zusi will be back in the starting lineup tonight but his presence should not distract the Fire from concentrating, not allowing Sporting players time on the ball.
Prediction: It's a must win for the Fire and I expect them to come out on top: 1-0 Fire with a goal from Mike Magee.

Actually it has been proven that Dream Sharing doesn't exist. Because in Multimedia, when they assigned 2 designers the same project, they did their own form of the project. While when you looked at the 2 pieces, they exactly matched the description, the 2 forms of design visually couldn't have been more different from each other. Never in the history of design have 2 different art forms done by designers matched perfectly, there is always something different about them, if you look at them from a designer's eye. That is because everyone's form of visual design is just as unique as a person's handwriting.
You seem to have a completely different concept of dream sharing then most people do. Those who dream share will share the dream but will share it from their different perspective views, when someone says the they shared the same dream, it doesnt mean they did so from the same body in that dream. They each are seeing out of different dream eyes or dream bodies. So I dont see how your example disproves the possibility.
So say like in the dream I dream shared with my daughter. I didnt experience getting my head bashed by 3 people, she experienced that and I saw this happening to her from my perspective. We both experienced the same setting too for this scene.. outdoors, grass etc etc In her point of view, she yelled for help. In my point of experience, I heard her yell for help.
Anyway, dream sharing doesnt usually mean experiencing being the same person in the dream and seeing the same things from the same angles etc etc (thou I guess that could well maybe be possible).
