"Schools, I hear it argued, would make better sense and be better value as nine-to-five operations or even nine-to-nine ones, working year-round. We're not a farming community anymore, I hear, that we need to give kids time off to tend the crops. This new-world-order schooling would serve dinner, provide evening recreation, offer therapy, medical attention, and a whole range of other services, which would convert the institution into a true synthetic family for children, better than the original one for many poor kids, it is said—and this would level the playing field for the sons and daughters of weak families.
"Yet it appears to me as a schoolteacher that schools are already a major cause of weak families and weak communities. They separate parents and children from vital interaction with each other and from true curiosity about each other's lives. Schools stifle family originality by appropriating the critical time needed for any sound idea of family to develop—then they blame the family for its failure to be a family." (John Taylor Gatto, Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling)
One day it struck John Taylor Gatto, Teacher of the Year for New York State in 1991 (and therefore, inevitably, disliked by his administrators), that our schools were not failing. Rather, they were succeeding fabulously at what they were constructed to do: to produce dull and compliant workers in a technocratic economy. School, he argued, instills in us a perpetual childish neediness. We need to toady for grades, because we need to get into the "best" schools, because we need to have a prestigious and well-remunerated job, because we need to buy a lot of stuff to pretend to fill the emptiness of our lives. Among that stuff will be the odd child or two, who will also need to toady for grades, to get into the "best" schools, and so on, world without end, Amen.
The Vampire State naturally requires a Vampire School. Recall the two things everybody needs to know about vampires. Vampires need blood—a lot of it; and vampires endow their victims with a shadow-life, a kind of immortal death, always dependent upon the vampire. The Vampire School uses words like "community" and "family" the same way a vampire talks about life, as from a vast distance, with only a vague and twisted memory of the reality of such a thing, long ago.
Is that too harsh a verdict?
Someone knocks at your door. "Hello," says the fellow, flashing his card. "My name is John Smith. I hear you have a twelve-year-old boy here."
"Yes, my son Bobby. Has he gotten into any trouble?"
"Oh no, sir, not yet. I am simply here to talk to him about sex."
"I see."
"Yes, I am licensed by the state and the school district," he says, flashing another card, "to talk to Bobby about sex. He is here, perhaps?" The man elbows his way into the living room, glancing at the titles of the books in your bookcase.
"As a matter of fact, he isn't. He's down by the pond fishing with his little brother."
"A pond, fishing," says the man, writing on a notepad. "Unsupervised fishing at a pond. Very well. When may I see him? My appointments are rapidly filling up."
"Shouldn't I first know something about you?" you ask, naively. "Suppose you don't believe the same things I believe."
"My dear sir," says the man, arching an eyebrow, and smiling ever so slightly, "it is not your place to know anything about me. If there's any knowing going on, it will be I who must find things out about you. But really," he continues, assuming an academic air, "the subject of sex is as scientific and precise as physics or mathematics, so that what you happen to believe about it is of no more import than what you believe about the composition of the moon, or the area of a circle. It is a part of my work"—here he lowers his voice to something between a purr and a growl—"to disabuse young people of the prejudices their parents bring to sex. Now then, when will your son be available?"
You hesitate. More writing on the notepad.
"Will tomorrow at noon be all right?"
"Tomorrow at three, fine."
You begin to close the door. "Not so fast," says Mr. Smith. "There's the little matter of the fee."
"You mean you are going to charge me money for this?"
"My dear sir," he beams, "recall, I am an expert. You wouldn't want to do your own plumbing, would you? No, of course not. Or prepare your own meals, except under duress? Or provide your own entertainment? Play your own musical instruments? Invent your own sports? Get together with your own neighbors to play cards? Build your own garage? Farm your own land? Read your own old and musty books, and think about them by yourself? Make love to your own wife without the aid of expert tips from magazines and pornographic videos? Worship God with your fellow believers?"
"What's wrong with that?" you stammer, but he snaps the notebook shut. "I haven't all day. Here is my bill. I make $50 an hour. Sixty hours with Bobby should about do it. If he fails, my colleague Ms. Jones will be available for remedial lessons. Good day."
And you give in.
Or perhaps not. There are some people—homeschoolers most notable among them—who have tried to elude the Vampire altogether, with greater and lesser degrees of success. But there are others, whose number is Legion, who have been bitten too deeply, and who have come to depend upon the Vampire School.
They secretly look forward to the nine-to-five or nine-to-nine school whose prospect fills Gatto with horror. They do not want more time with their children. They hardly know what to do with the time they do have. They pay, handsomely, for time-consuming activities that relieve them of the responsibility of a real life. They have been trained to consider all things done with simple independence as beneath an intelligent person's notice. "Slavery is freedom," says Big Brother, who is now also Big Sister. So a woman will pay to rid herself of her children for certain hours during the day, so that she may work, let us say, as a cook in a local restaurant, to pay for the Vampire and its minions, and for prepared meals from the Vampire Market.
In Free at Last: The Sudbury Valley School, Daniel Greenberg reveals to us not only that the Vampire is a Vampire, but that he is a naked Vampire to boot. For the Vampire, lending his victims the simulacrum of life, delivers the simulacrum of education, but paradoxically must be seen to "fail" frequently, so as to justify the transfusion of greater and greater quantities of blood. He can do so only by persuading people that learning how to read and cipher and so forth is so tremendously difficult and unnatural that many children, especially those from poor homes—here he dabs a dry eye with his handkerchief—will never manage it, unless they submit to ever more (and more intrusive) ministrations from the Vampire, who alone knows how to teach, being the expert and all that.
But Greenberg laughs the Vampire's pretenses away. When children are ready to learn a subject, they will learn it. He tells of a group of his school's nine-year-olds and twelve-year-olds, who suddenly announced that they wanted to learn arithmetic—all of it. So he dug up a textbook from 1898, full of examples and exercises, and gave it to them. Addition took two classes, he says, and subtraction another two. The children memorized the multiplication tables, then tackled the exercises. "They were high, all of them," he says, "sailing along, mastering all the techniques and algorithms." Then they went on to long division, fractions, decimals, percentages, and square roots. "In twenty weeks, after twenty contact hours, they had covered it all," writes Greenberg, "six years' worth."
And then there is reading. Consider that a little child learns the most complex thing that most people will ever learn—human language. He learns it naturally, because he has a hunger to learn it, and he learns it without training by experts, and at no expense at all. When speaking has been mastered, reading is not all so hard, if the child has things to read. These days, it is almost impossible to avoid things to read. Most of it is junk, but then, so is most of what is assigned as reading in school. So what are we paying all that money for? To ensure, perhaps, that children associate reading with drudgery?
Can a vampire be reformed? In a manner of speaking, yes: with a stake.

Shanahan: RG3, Kaepernick can't become pocket passers overnight
When Washington faces San Francisco on Monday night, we'll see the two quarterbacks whose ability to run the read-option offense took the NFL by storm in 2012.
We'll also see two quarterbacks whose passing abilities have been a disappointment in 2013.
According to Washington coach Mike Shanahan, however, no one should be overly disappointed with either Robert Griffin III or Colin Kaepernick this season. Instead, Shanahan says, the seasons that both young quarterbacks are having are exactly what should be expected for young quarterbacks who didn't come out of a pro-style offense in college.
"If you're talking about Robert or if you're talking about a guy like Kaepernick, everybody comes from different [college] systems and when you go to the National Football League and you're working with a drop-back passing game and you haven't done a lot of that, it takes some repetition," Shanahan said in a conference call with Bay Area reporters. "Whoever has been in those shoes realizes that it doesn't happen overnight. It takes practice, it takes repetition, going against different coverages, understanding the strength and weaknesses and just becoming more comfortable in passing situations."
Shanahan said the key to Griffin and Kaepernick getting better is living and breathing football.
"That's part of the process of the NFL quarterback that it is hard, the amount of hours that you have to spend studying film, going through your progressions, studying defenses," Shanahan said. "It's 24 hours a day, not only during the season but the offseason, to get to that elite level. Everybody is going to have a year or two that is better than the other, but for that consistency, you need a guy that loves football, loves studying because there's so many different parts. That's one of the reasons I think it's the hardest position in sports to play."
If Griffin and Kaepernick hadn't had such spectacular seasons last year, the way they're playing this year wouldn't feel so disappointing. But the reality is neither quarterback is as good now as he was a year ago. Not only have they not become pocket passers overnight, but they even appear to have regressed. That has to be a concern to their coaches, even if Shanahan isn't ready to sound the alarm.

Parents spent an average of $422 per child on holiday presents in 2016, according to a survey by T. Rowe Price. An estimated 56 percent of parents with children ages 8 to 14 use credit to purchase gifts, which are bound to include gadgets that'll be old news by New Year's but not paid off until months after that.
Indeed, the holiday season — the most wonderful time of the year, as it's known to some — may be far from wonderful for budgets as some parents try to fulfill every child's every wish.
A 2016 Experian holiday shopping survey found:
- 56 percent of people said they spend too much money during the holidays.
- 55 percent admitted that they feel stressed about their finances during the holidays.
- 43 percent said the extra expense makes the holidays hard to enjoy.
Some parents overload their children with "stuff" that will quite possibly be obsolete or bested in popularity by the next big thing just in time for the next holiday season. No great mystery that the U.S. has 3.1 percent of the world's children, but consumes 40 percent of the world's toys.
"We are a materialistic society, and often our rituals and celebrations reflect this," says Dr. Mary Gresham, an Atlanta-based psychologist who specializes in financial and clinical psychology. "Many parents get caught up in this and start to believe that the right toy will bring happiness to their child."
Here are five gifts to give your little ones besides presents this year. Your overflowing closets and pockets may thank you for considering other gift options.
1. The gift of giving
For children, the holiday season can be a "gimme" time of year. But it's also the time when we often hear that it's better to give than receive.
Jayne Pearl, a family business and financial parenting expert and co-author of "Kids, Wealth and Consequences: Ensuring a Responsible Financial Future for the Next Generation," says it's not hard to nurture a child's giving spirit. She suggests combating the "gimmes" with the "givvies."
Put part of your holiday budget toward giving to the less fortunate, perhaps through a charitable organization. For example, you could give a gift in your child's name to an organization such as UNICEF or the American Red Cross, or to an area animal shelter or humane society.
"Giving kids the tools and the consciousness to try to help people is extremely empowering," Pearl says.
Her recommendation is to sit down with your children and find out what bothers them about the world, help them figure out how they can help, and make this part of your holiday celebration. Use the holidays as a time to teach your kids that "we have values and our values are not just 'stuff,' " Pearl says.
2. The gift of learning
You know your children better than anyone. And every one of them is unique, with his/her own set of interests, so give a gift that helps a child develop existing or new skills.
Sign them up for classes that help them take their passion or hobby to the next level.
Consider coding camp for your computer whiz or cooking classes for your foodie. You can find classes offered by educational institutions, community organizations, companies or individuals.
You could also take a look at online classes like these from MasterClass, which can help your child hone a craft with a celebrity idol without leaving home.
3. The gift of a financial head start
You can open an online investment account in your child's name for as little as $50.
And don't worry if you're not an expert.
Brendan Mullooly, an investment adviser for an asset management firm in Wall Township, N.J., suggests that novice investors interested in making a financial gift to a young person should use a service like Stockpile, an online company that simplifies the process of gifting stocks to minors.
"You can purchase gift cards of individual stocks and some index ETFs to give as a gift," says Mullooly.
And Stockpile allows you to buy fractional shares, so the gift cards can be for small amounts. Mullooly recommends setting up view-only access to these custodial accounts so your young investor can check on how the investments are doing.
"This offers a great way to give a gift that's interesting, has monetary value, and also offers an educational aspect," he says.
4. The gift of membership
You can't go wrong with season passes to a favorite destination like a local museum, an amusement park or the zoo. You can use them over and over throughout the year, which could ultimately help your family spend less on entertainment.
Also, check out memberships to national organizations, like the Baseball Hall of Fame for the sports enthusiast.
Or get a pass that's fun for the whole family, like the $80 America the Beautiful Annual Pass, which pays for itself in as few as five visits to national parks. The pass covers entry to over 2,000 parks for a full year, and nearly 100 percent of sale proceeds goes toward improving and enhancing federal recreation sites.
5. The gift of travel
Pool the money you would spend on toys and trinkets and knock a destination off your family bucket list. You could time the trip to coincide with the holiday season or breaks during the school year.
Erica Steed, 37, allowed her children to choose something they wanted to experience together in Christmas 2016.
Ellison, who was 10, wanted to see the Statue of Liberty. Elian, 7, wanted to see snow, which doesn't often happen in Georgia. They took a family trip to New York for the holidays, and although it didn't snow, "we had such a great time that it made up for it," says Steed, who lives in Roswell, Ga.
When you factor in the cost of airline tickets and lodging in New York City for a family of four during the holidays, this gift option didn't save the Steeds the money they would've spent on presents.
But by planning, creating a budget and sticking to it, the family spent the holidays doing something they could all enjoy and remember for a lifetime. And this, Steed says, amounted to money well spent.

The widely used and extremely powerful vim text editor, adapted for Mac.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Lots of plugins
Every plugin available for Vim is available for MacVim too.
Pro Extremely customizable
MacVim is Vim, meaning it has all of Vim's customizability and power.
Pro OS X input methods
MacVim supports OSX's native shortcuts making the adoption of Vim easier.
Pro Extensive community support
MacVim, like Vim itself has a large community backing it.
Pro Automatic font substitution
In cases of a selected font missing certain characters, MacVim will find a font that has that character.
Pro Vimtutor teaches the basics of Vim in 30 minutes
Vimtutor is an excellent interactive tutorial for people with no prior experience of Vim. It's bundled with Vim and takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Pro Everything is a mnemonic
Vim associates keys with words. For example,
d is for "delete" and
w is for "word". To perform an action you string together letters. Thus, to delete a word, press dw.
This way it's possible to abstract a large amount of functionality that Vim provides in an intuitive way.
Pro Enables effective keyboard-driven editing due to its modal nature
Interaction with Vim is centered around several modes. Each mode has a different purpose and switching between them changes behaviour and keybindings. There are 12 modes in total (six basic modes and six variations on basic modes) and four of them are used commonly.
Insert mode is for entering text. This mode most resembles traditional text entry in most editors.
Normal mode (the default) is entered by hitting ESC and converts all keybindings to center around movement within the file, search, pane selection, etc.
Command mode is entered by hitting ":" in Normal mode and allows you to execute Vim commands and scripts similar in fashion to a shell.
Visual mode is for selecting lines, blocks, and characters of code.
Modes allow separating concerns between various tasks and reusing keys for different kinds of functionality. As a result, the workflow becomes more efficient.
Pro Multi-byte support
Permits writing characters that don't fit in one byte, most notably logograms (for writing in languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean) and Unicode characters.
Con Slow when opening files with very long lines
A lot of very long lines can make MacVim take up to a minute to open, where a few other editors take only a few seconds to load the same file.
Con Only available on macOS
A decent text editor is available on all major platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows).
MacVim after all is still Vim, and with that comes the complexity that Vim brings and the difficult learning curve that needs to be overcome.

It started as two players—DeMarcus Cousins and Tim Duncan—battling it out in the trenches, but Sean Elliott, now a color commentator for the Spurs and obviously an objective analyst to the bitter end, jumped in to defend his beleaguered teammate. After scoring on Duncan twice and drawing a foul on a third posession, Cousins had the temerity to say of (not to) Duncan, "I'm going to bust his ass." It should probably have been in the past tense—"I just busted his ass"—but that's not what Elliott was mad about:
"That's why some humility is in order," Elliott said on the air. "You think you're dominating Tim Duncan, you get it stuffed right back in your face. Timmy doesn't like to talk trash. But if guys start talking mess to him, he's going to respond. All that trash talking was premature. I'm not about to let these guys off the hook. Young ballclub should learn from this. Don't start talking and flapping your gums against one of the greatest players ever. He's going to make you pay. Tell me who got the best of this exchange."
Apparently informed postgame of Elliott's remarks, Cousins appeared on the court in his uniform and confronted Elliott after he and broadcaster Bill Land completed their postgame show.
"I was wondering why Cousins was out there in his uniform waiting for them to finish his postgame show," said Bill Schoening, who does the play-by-play call on radio broadcasts of Spurs games. "Then I saw them in an animated conversation out on the court.
No one seems to have reported what was said in that animated conversation, but whatever it was, Cousins is going to pay:
DeMarcus Cousins is and always has been crazybones—when's the last time someone said they were going to bust Tim Duncan's ass? Charles Oakley?—but it's hard not to side with the big man on this one. When Sean Elliott is giving sanctimonious lectures about humility and gum-flapping on behalf of Tim Duncan, who surely doesn't need it, he deserves to get the crap scared out of him by an angry DeMarcus Cousins. And, as Tom Ziller writes, "It should be noted that Elliott (who was a fantastic player and does a lot for charity) is a total hack."
In Cousins's absence, the Kings will be without their leading scorer and rebounder for games against the Lakers and Trail Blazers.

VANCOUVER – British Columbia's highest court says police must obtain a warrant before searching through the vast amounts of personal information stored in a smartphone, the latest in several court judgments across Canada warning law enforcement that the contents of cellphones are private.
The B.C. Court of Appeal released a decision Wednesday that concluded the RCMP violated the rights of a man charged in a kidnapping when they searched two of his BlackBerry smartphones without a warrant.
The man was convicted at trial and, despite the warrantless search, the Appeal Court upheld that conviction in Wednesday's ruling.
But the court also made it clear that police must ask for permission before examining the contents of a smartphone.
"It seems to me that downloading the entire contents of a cellphone or smartphone, like the BlackBerrys in this case … can no longer be considered valid … as a reasonable warrantless search," Justice Risa Levine wrote in a unanimous decision.
"The highly invasive nature of these searches exceeds the permissible scope for a warrantless search authorized under the common law as a search incident to arrest."
Rajan Singh Mann was a suspect in a 2006 kidnapping in Richmond, south of Vancouver. He was arrested on two separate occasions, and each time the RCMP seized his BlackBerry, which contained text messages that were used against him at trial.
The RCMP's technological crime unit collected the data from one of the phones a few weeks later. The other was protected with a password and its contents weren't retrieved for two years.

- Series of rainstorms appear headed for B.C. coast as change in weather expected
The phones were seized under a principle known as a "search incident to arrest," which allow police to search a suspect for items such as weapons or evidence when they're taken into custody.
At the time of Mann's arrest, previous court rulings had treated a cellphone like a notebook or diary, which could be searched without a warrant if they were found during an arrest.
But the B.C. Appeal Court said subsequent rulings have made it clear that smartphones are in a different category.
"It now seems obvious that the individual's privacy interest in the contents of a device such as a BlackBerry outweighs the state's interest in law enforcement," Levine wrote.
The ruling nonetheless dismissed Mann's appeal, which raised several grounds, including the BlackBerry searches. Levine said police were acting reasonably based on the law at the time.
Raji Mangat of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, which intervened in the case, applauded the ruling.
"This (a smartphone) is a different type of object — it has implications for privacy interests that go well beyond anything that was contemplated when the law was developing," Mangat said.
"The state of the law is now clear. … Uncertainty in the law doesn't help anyone."
The Supreme Court of Canada is expected to rule on a similar case soon. The high court heard a case earlier this year dealing with phones that are found on suspects when they are arrested.
Mann was convicted two years ago for his role in a kidnapping that saw Gary Kwong taken by gunpoint and held for a $100,000 ransom. Kwong was released unharmed the next day and no ransom was paid.
Charges were originally laid against Mann, William Joshua Scott and Terry James Richardson. Scott pleaded guilty and Richardson died before the case was finished.

The clock may be running out on Mt. Gox, but a consortium of investors still wants to relaunch the failed Bitcoin exchange.
A website called SaveGox.com has emerged calling for a halt of the liquidation of Japan-based Mt. Gox, which the Tokyo District Court is expected to authorize.
"Liquidation is a last resort when all other avenues fail, including rehabilitation. No attempt has yet been made to save Mt. Gox," the website says.
The consortium of U.S. investors calls upon Mt. Gox creditors to help stop a liquidation of the exchange, and support plans to audit its books and distribute bitcoin to creditors to reduce their losses.
Mt. Gox collapsed in February with liabilities of $63.6 million, saying nearly half a billion dollars worth of bitcoin was unaccounted for and that hackers had exploited a software problem.
SaveGox.com says Mt. Gox was hacked and that until a "suitable internationally recognized auditor" investigates what happened, the true scale of the liabilities will remain unclear.
The site cites as its backers Bitcoin investor Brock Pierce, entrepreneur Jonathan Yantis, venture capitalists William Quigley and Matthew Roszak, and John Betts, described as a Wall Street veteran. Earlier this months, reports said the consortium was offering 1 bitcoin (roughly US$490 at current prices) to buy Mt. Gox.
"You have to understand, of course, that Mt. Gox is much more than just the assets that it has," Quigley said in a TV interview with CNBC early this week. "The company still has a very important role, we believe, in the continuation of Bitcoin."
The site says Mt. Gox's 127,000 customers worldwide would be best served by its rehabilitation, but it does not provide specific details about how to rebuild Mt. Gox. The consortium did not immediately respond to an email requesting further information.
Rejecting Mt. Gox's bid for rehabilitation as it had no viable plan, the Tokyo District Court on April 16 appointed a provisional administrator to take over Mt. Gox's affairs as a prelude to full bankruptcy proceedings.
If the court moves ahead with liquidation, Mt. Gox's assets would be evaluated, sold off and any cash would be distributed to creditors based on their claims. The process would take longer than regular bankruptcies in Japan due to the complexity of the case.
Under a rehabilitation scenario, however, the tens of thousands of users who lost bitcoins in the collapse could potentially receive a share of future profits.
The site also suggests the consortium and a company it launched, Sunlot Holdings, had been working with Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles toward rehabilitation until the Tokyo court moved to reject the rehabilitation option.
"We believe Mark Karpeles has changed course in an effort to avoid personal liability, but in doing so has sacrificed your interests," the site says, addressing creditors.
Karpeles and Mt. Gox have been accused of fraud in a class-action suit in the U.S., to which he was summoned for questioning by a Texas court in connection with the exchange's collapse.
A judge in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, however, granted a motion by Karpeles' lawyers to delay his deposition, which had been scheduled for April 17.
Taking into account developments at the Tokyo District Court, the judge said a new date would be decided on or after April 24.
Karpeles could not be reached for comment.

During Expo week, Derik DeLong wrote about TechRestore and the Delorean time machine adorning its show floor booth, before casually mentioning the company's matte screen replacement service. After reading this, I told myself I needed to get over there right away and check this out, given my undisguised hatred for all things glossy. (OK, all things except the relatively small and easily-repositioned screens on iPhones.)
Toward Expo's end, I managed to work my way over to the TechRestore booth…where I then had to promptly pick my jaw up off the floor after seeing their matte-screen equipped MacBook Pro. This is, quite honestly, the machine I feel Apple should have launched as the new Unibody MacBook Pro. The engineering of the new bezel (in a nice matte black finish) is perfect; it looks just as good as the one on the stock MacBook Pro machine sitting next to it in TechRestore's booth.
I took a picture (click the image to the left for a much larger version), but really, the image is somewhat disappointing because, well, because it looks just like a MacBook Pro should look. The picture doesn't do justice to just how nice the machine looks; the flat-black bezel and matte screen look like they've been there since day one.
The new screen is somewhat more flexible than the original—not surprising, given the support that was provided by the now-missing layer of glass. However, I compared it to my matte MacBook Pro, and the modified MacBook Pro certainly doesn't flex any more than mine does.
So if glossy bothers you a lot, as it does me, but you really really want a new 15-inch MacBook Pro (TechRestore told me it's working on something similar for the 13-inch MacBook line), you might want to check out the TechRestore program. Sure, it's more money than is an anti-glare filter, but the end result appears to be well worth the investment.

Prosperity gospel, as I understand it, is the teaching that God wants to bless us with wealth and health. I can't really see this in the Bible. For example, Paul writes in 2 Cor 12:7-10 (ESV):
7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Or, looking at what Jesus has said:
Matt 22:10 (ESV) and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
John 15:20 (ESV) Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
What arguments (biblical or otherwise) can be used to support prosperity gospel? What does prosperity theology say about passages such as the ones I cited?

1982 - Black Widow portfolio by Paul Gulacy

Great Paul Gulacy images - have always been a big fan of his work and especially the "Lethal Ladies" Marvel Preview issue with the Macchio / Gulacy Black Widow tale ( w/ Bogart, Michael Caine lookalikes!) Amazingly acquired this only a few years ago off EBay for next to nothing.ReplyDelete
Wish Marvel would get around to reprinting his (and others') Master Of Kung Fu work too!
"Wish Marvel would get around to reprinting his (and others') Master Of Kung Fu work too!"ReplyDelete
I was going to say something like that. Sadly, 'MOKF' is in limbo as far as reprints go. Marvel owns Shang Chi, Sax Rohmer's estate owns the supporting cast of characters. Too bad, Gulacy is one of the all-time greats, his work deserves a nice glossy reprint treatment.

I hate to say it but I have never heard of or seen this artist. Now that I have where can I find his work? either in Issue or TPB?ReplyDelete
Hey Daniel, I'd recommend his Six From Sirius work (unfortunately, it's out of print)ReplyDelete
His run on Master of Kung Fu is legendary.

TO EBAY! and I think a friend of mine has that Master of Kung Fu stuff.ReplyDelete
Thanks Jason
There is a great Batman tale made by Paul Gulacy, its called " Prey", in my opinion its one of the best Batman stories ever. You might want to check that one out.ReplyDelete

Lynn Burley, associate professor, Department of Writing, has been chosen as one of 13 Scientific Thinking and Integrative Reasoning Skills (STIRS) Scholars by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) for 2014-2015.
Burley is the only Arkansas professor invited to the STIRS Scholars project.
"Specifically, I will design a student case study that demands scientific reasoning, evidence-based problem solving and must use data-based and statistical reasoning. I also will construct the Facilitator's Guide that will allow anyone in a variety of disciplines to teach this case study. My case is 'Should English be the Official Language of the United States?'" Burley said.
The STIRS project invites scholars across all sectors of higher education to develop educational resources, curricular designs, and assessment strategies that make evidence-based reasoning a more explicit outcome of liberal education. Additionally, the project encourages campus leaders to imagine scientific thinking as a means through which to intentionally integrate knowledge, skills, and action across the undergraduate experience and through the widest array of disciplines.
As part of the STIRS project, Burley will attend the General Education and Assessment conference on February 27 in Portland, Oregon and the AAC&U Annual Meeting in Washington D.C. from January 21-24, 2015. STIRS Scholars will receive an honorarium of $500 in each of the two years of service, and the STIRS Initiative will pay for STIRS Scholars' travel expenses and attendance at the 2014 General Education and Assessment Network conference and AAC&U's 2015 Annual Meeting.
Information about this project can be found at http://www.aacu.org/stirs/index.cfm.

American Public Gas Association (APGA) executive vice president Dave Schryver confirmed that the lawsuit, APGA v. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), has entered mediation and that an agreement between the two parties could occur very soon.
"This is an extremely important issue to our members, which is why APGA brought suit this past May to challenge the furnace efficiency standards that DOE adopted in October 2011," said Schryver. "It is APGA's position that the furnace rule, in an attempt to increase efficiency, would inadvertently deter consumers from purchasing direct use natural gas appliances, which are more efficient than electric appliances.
"The appeal brought by APGA is in the mediation process, and that process has brought the parties sufficiently close to a settlement that DOE filed a consent motion with the D.C. Circuit [court] on November 13 requesting that the appeal be held in abeyance for 30 days in anticipation that the negotiations on settlement and implementation will be completed within that time frame."
Jon Melchi, director of government affairs, Heating, Air-conditioning, and Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI), said he is unable to reveal any of the settlement's details under a gag order; however, he did say the recent court filing indicates a settlement could be close.
"We should know by Dec. 12 if we have an agreement or if the case resumes its path through the court system," he said. "There are a lot of parties involved in these talks and coming to a solution which placates everyone is challenging."
Regional Regulations
The DOE's regional efficiency standards were adopted Oct. 25, 2011. The standards will essentially divide the country into three regions — North, Southeast, and Southwest — and the minimum efficiency standards for each equipment type will vary by the region in which it is installed. In the North region, most furnaces will be required to have an AFUE of 90 percent or more. In the Southeast and Southwest, central air conditioners will be required to have a SEER of 14. Heat pump and oil furnace standards will rise on a nationwide basis.
The idea was originally proposed in a comprehensive energy bill passed in 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA). The act granted the DOE authority to create separate standards for HVAC equipment based on geographic region.
DOE crafted the regulation, released it for comment on June 27, 2011, and implemented it into law Oct. 25, 2011.
APGA Lawsuit
APGA filed an appeal of the DOE rule establishing regional efficiency furnace standards in the U.S. court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Dec. 23, 2011. APGA opposed the rule and the process by which DOE enacted it.
APGA argued that DOE erred in using the direct final rule process in the context of this case (versus a normal notice and comment rulemaking), in issuing a rule that bans the non-condensing furnace in the northern region, and in adopting a new standard that will cause fuel switching, which is without economic justification.
In challenging the rule, APGA is asking the court to vacate the rule and remand it for a clean round of notice-and-comment rulemaking.
HARDI and Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) filed petitions to intervene through the U.S. Court of Appeals on behalf of the APGA based on the claim that the DOE failed to follow proper procedures in issuing the rules for regional efficiency.
Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), the City of New York, and several environmental advocacy groups have sided with the DOE on the lawsuit.
Unanswered Questions
While it appears a settlement is on the horizon, details have not been released, leading to a mix of speculation as to what the final may include. Will the entire regulation be scrapped? Will the furnace portion be reconfigured, as the APGA's chief interest lies in the gas-portion of the rule? Will all parts be re-examined through a revamped notice and comment period?
One thing is for sure, up until the mediation was announced yesterday, the industry has essentially been left in the dark.
Questions regarding enforcement, a potential installation waiver, a manufacturer-proposed 18-month extension, and concerns regarding a consensus agreement remain largely unanswered.
"I am concerned about the ramifications of rulings made, or to be made, by DOE regarding regional standards, specifically as it applies to HVAC equipment," said Tim Kavanaugh, president of Indianapolis-based distributor, Federated Supply. "There are several slower-moving furnaces and heat pump units that I need to order now, so that I may be able to keep the right inventory levels for our dealer's sales efforts; however, I am afraid of what may happen to them once we reach the May 1, 2013 deadline."
Contractor Walter M. Reckinger III, Reckinger Heating and Cooling, Dearborn, Mich. shared his dismay on ACCA's Hot Air! Blog.
"Installing a high-efficiency unit should be a customer's choice. It should not be a government mandate," he said. "We are trying to warn our customers of the impending deadline while they can still choose. If they can't afford the change now because of the horrible economic environment, how will they be able to afford the higher cost equipment later?"
In October, a roomful of HARDI distributors unanimously endorsed the efforts of the organization in regards to the lawsuit.
"When the audience was polled about the future of the lawsuit, the group was unanimous and directed the leadership team to continue to do everything possible to protect and advance the interest of HARDI distributors," said 2013 president-elect Brian Cobble, G.W. Berkheimer Co., Portage, Ind.
Melchi is quick to remind the industry that while the sides are negotiating, neither party has signed a formal agreement.
"There is still a lot of uncertainty out there and it is our hope that this will end favorably for us and the industry," he said. "However, until a settlement or verdict is reached, the May 2013 implementation date is still a reality."

Tennessee Bill Could Put Abortion Doctors at Risk
There's a new bill in the Tennessee House of Representatives, and its seemingly innocuous name is rather misleading. The "Life Defense Act of 2012" (H.B. 3308) would require the Tennessee Department of Health to publish way more information on abortions and on the doctors that provide them.
Here's why that's a problem, in case it's not obvious: abortion doctors are at risk from radical anti-abortion activists. The Raw Story points to anti-abortion "Wanted" posters by a group called Operation Save America, as well as past murders of abortion doctors.
Scott Roeder, a 53-year-old anti-abortion activist, was sentenced to life in prison in 2010 for the murder of Dr. George Tiller in a Kansas church. Officials later investigated whether the killing was connected to an underground network of radical anti-abortion activists who promote violence against women's health clinics.
But the bill doesn't just affect doctors. The "Life Defense Act of 2012" would also have the Department of Health publish more detailed statistics on Tennessee abortions, including the woman's age, race, marital status, and the number of times she has been pregnant. Theoretically, women receiving abortions would not be named, but that doesn't mean they'd remain anonymous.
While the bill's proponents point to language in the legislative text that protects the identity of each patient, critics argue that the enhanced statistics reporting could be used to identify women who've had abortions in small, rural communities.
H.B. 3308 was authored by Rep. Matthew Hill at the suggestion of the anti-abortion group Tennessee Right to Life. A House committee will vote on the bill Wednesday.

1. Seeing in the Dark
Cats are only able to see the same colours as a colour blind person these colours are yellows, blues and violets all of which means Cats can't see reds, greens or oranges. This is because, while the retinas of Cats are similar to humans, they contain two types of light-receptors called rods and cones, humans are different and have more of the cone types than rods and it's these cones that are responsible for colour vision.
Happily Cats and for that matter Dogs (if they really mattered of course) have more rods and it's the rods that are the receptors responsible for seeing in the dark.
This means that Cats may have poorer colour vision than humans, but fortunately we have far superior night vision, and as an extra bonus we are so much better at tracking movement all of which means that clever Cats can see things eight times better than mere humans in the dark.
For the Record
It must be stated that Cat's, unlike Sid the Sunglass Cat (pictured), do not normally wear sunglasses, or should that read – normal Cats do not normally wear sunglasses?

Check out what the Cover Artist got today…. 🙂
Beau Hale
She said that she was my best friend and then one day she wasn't.
"Every day I live with the visible scars, but it's the invisible ones that hurt the most."
They are a constant reminder of everything I've lost as well as all the things that I'll never have. I should be over this by now, it's been years, but I can't escape the memories that haunt me, following me everywhere I go. Everyone around me is moving on with their life, so now I need to do the same. Tennis brought me to Columbia University, and I am quickly proving that I will not let anyone defeat me, past or present. I am in control now. Life has taught me the hard way to remember that. But after all this time, I'm still searching for an answer to the one question that is constantly burning in the back of my mind…why?
Leila Starling
He said that he was my best friend, and then one day he wasn't. It took one moment to change my entire life.
"What I thought I knew became a lie, and nothing was ever the same."
Slowly, I picked up the pieces and focused on what I could control…me. I live in New York City and attend one of the world's most prestigious fashion and design schools. Day after day, I am getting closer and closer to living out my dreams. I did this all on my own and no one can ever take this from me. I know my future is bright even if my heart is destined to stay in the dark. The dull ache that still lingers is my daily reminder to rely on no one but myself. Although, after all this time, I still can't help but wonder…why?

Expert's Rating
- Rugged weather- and dust-proof enclosure
- SDHC memory card slot (up to 32GB)
- Exceptional video quality
- Needs host PC if you add other Trendnet cameras
- Complex and nonintuitive software
- SDHC memory card not included
Our Verdict
This video-surveillance system is professional grade, but its power renders it difficult to set up.
Whereas Logitech (with its Alert 750e Outdoor Master System) and Swann (with its DVR-4 2600 4 Channel DVR & Camera Kit) emphasize ease of use, Trendnet focuses on delivering maximum performance and flexibility. Instead of making all of the design decisions for you, Trendnet assumes that you know exactly what you need, and the company provides the building blocks you need in order to realize your vision. The upside of this approach is that you get exactly what you want in a video-surveillance system and can expand it as your needs grow. The downside is that you must know precisely what you want and how to put it all together.
Adopting this à la carte method, we put together a four-camera system anchored by Trendnet's best outdoor night-vision IP camera (the TV-IP322P, $578) and supplemented with two indoor night-vision cameras (Trendnet model TV-IP121WN, $165 each), one indoor tilt/swivel night-vision camera (Trendnet model TV-IP422WN, $300), and Trendnet's SecurView Pro software (a copy of which is included with each camera).
Each of the four cameras can operate using a single cable: The wireless cameras need only a power cord, and the TV-IP322P can operate on power-over-ethernet (PoE), so you don't need an electrical outlet near where you deploy it (Trendnet supplies an AC power adapter, in case you don't want to deploy a PoE switch). We tested the setup with Trendnet's eight-port PoE switch (model TPE-S80, $218). This five-piece package would cost $1426–slightly more than Logitech's surveillance system and considerably more than Swann's–but it delivers excellent service, it's extremely versatile, and it can be upgraded to support as many as 32 cameras (including eight PoE devices; you can deploy more PoE cameras with a larger PoE switch).
Unlike the Logitech and Swann systems we reviewed, most of Trendnet's cameras rely on a host PC running on your network to store recorded video (the TV-IP322P is equipped with a high-capacity SD Card slot and can support up to 32GB of local memory, though Trendnet doesn't put any memory cards in the box). Swann's system comes with its own DVR, and Logitech's cameras can run independently of the PC, recording video to their onboard memory while the host PC is sleeping. Unless every camera in your setup has onboard memory, as the TV-IP322P does, the system must run Trendnet's SecurView Pro software nonstop.
The SecurView Pro software can support any of Trendnet's comprehensive collection of IP cameras, regardless of their resolution and feature set. The model TV-IP322P camera, for instance, boasts a resolution of 1280 by 1024 pixels. In contrast, the other Trendnet models and the Swann cameras we tested have a resolution of 640 by 480 pixels, and the Logitech Alert cameras deliver video resolution of 960 by 720 pixels. Check a box in the SecurView Pro software's user interface, and the program will automatically scale each camera's video window to maintain the appropriate aspect ratio. Check another box, and the software will offer a pop-up window for controlling features specific to each camera, such as pan/tilt or audio recording.
The Cameras
Trendet's TV-IP322P is one of the most impressive IP cameras we've seen to date, thanks in large measure to its detailed resolution, strong night-vision capabilities (working at distances of up to 66 feet), industrial-strength housing, and comprehensive connectivity features. In addition to its PoE support, the TV-IP322P can support two-way audio with ports for an external mic and speaker, for video intercom configurations. It has general-purpose input/output ports for integration into an alarm system, it can generate email alerts, and it can stream real-time video to a smartphone–with support for h.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG compression algorithms–all without requiring a host PC.
The camera is protected by an IP66-rated weather- and vandal-proof enclosure. An enclosure's IP rating (the acronym stands for "ingress protection") represents its ability to protect against solid objects (indicated by the first digit) and liquids (indicated by the second digit). An IP rating of 66 means that the enclosure will prevent any dust from getting inside, and will protect against high-pressure water potentially entering at the enclosure from any direction.
The indoor Trendnet cameras we tested–models TV-IP121WN and TV- TV-IP422WN–delivered very good daylight performance, but their night vision was weak compared to Logitech's Alert cameras, Swann's Pro 580 cameras, and Trendnet's own TV-IP322P outdoor camera. Factor in the host PC and Trendnet's software, and any of Trendnet's cameras can produce motion-triggered video recordings, generate email and SMS alerts, and perform all the other functions you'd expect of a high-end video-surveillance system.
The Bottom Line
Trendnet's TV-IP322P is a big-ticket camera, but its high resolution and expansive feature set justify its high price tag. The SecurView Pro software that controls it is equally powerful and can support up to 32 cameras, but the software is also complex and difficult to master.
The other two Trendnet cameras–the TV-IP121WN and the TV-IP422WN–are merely adequate: Their night vision is weak, and their resolution equals that of Swann's analog cameras. But when you put the pan/tilt model into "patrol" mode, the camera automatically pans and tilts in accordance with a predefined pattern to cover more area than either Logitech's or Swann's models.
Building a facility-wide IP camera system using only Trendnet's TV-IP322P cameras would be prohibitively expensive, especially if you don't need an outdoor camera in every location. Trendnet recently announced an entirely new line of indoor IP cameras, and we'll take a look at those as soon as Trendnet sends us evaluation units.

I run a mixed aged classroom. In fact, yesterday, there was a full decade - 10 years- in age difference between our youngest learner and our oldest learner. I am often faced with questions from a variety of sources trying to understand exactly - How Do You Manage a Mixed Aged Classroom?
(If you remember, I have posted a little bit about our philosophy and our mixed ages groupings before, you can read that post here.)
First, I have to admit. EVERY classroom comes with its own challenges. Every child, regardless of age, brings their own strengths and experiences to the classroom. Every child has needs and different requirements. Working with mixed ages can be challenging, but in the end, age is just a number.
I'm going to take a few minutes to answer some of the more common questions I am asked about integrating such a wide range of ages in our classroom.
What do you do with the infants?
The majority of questions I receive in regard to mixed ages has to do with caring for infants at the same time as older children. Yes, infants do have some additional needs that you don't have with older children. However, having infants together with older children provides a wonderful reciprocal learning opportunity. Older children are constantly modeling and scaffolding for the younger ones. Younger infants and toddlers provide ample opportunities for modeling empathy and treating others with respect.
Logistically, What does this look like in our classroom?
We run an emergent play-based classroom. This means that we are very child centered. The children take the lead, and we support them through resources, conversation, and reflection. Our materials are set out at child level with any material that would be a choking hazard or require additional close supervision to be placed on higher shelves. We have real- honest and open conversations about our concerns with materials.
"Ms. Amy, Can we play with the dollhouse stuff?"
"I'm a little bit worried about all of the small pieces with the babies here today....
How could we make that work?"
By sharing my concerns with the older children and asking them to be the problem solvers, I am not imposing rules..... I am inviting them to be active participants and to solve problems to come up with agreeable solutions. Sometimes the ideas the children come up with are brilliant......
Sometimes, it means that I engage the younger children in a different activity. Sometimes it means that the small pieces are only played with at a table or on a higher level than the younger children. Sometimes it means that I play too, sitting with the infants to make sure that they don't put any pieces in their mouths. Sometimes it means waiting until the infant(s) take a nap. Whatever the solution, the children own it.
I also try to promote as much independence as early as possible. This means that mobile infants are on the floor and mobile. I don't tend to use things like exersaucers, swings, or bouncers inside. We do have a few chairs for sitting in, and I use the high chair seats on the floor. (The ones that you would normal strap onto a regular chair). By having the chairs at the child's level, they can crawl up to them.
When older children are building with blocks and don't want the younger children to knock their creations down, I ask them to use their words. "Tell them you don't want them to touch your tower." It usually doesn't work very well as very young infants are quite egocentric and if they want to do something, they continually try to do it. So, I usually position myself on the floor near the structure and keep little ones from knocking the tower down, reminding them, "I think I heard M.. say that she doesn't want you to touch her tower. We need to find something else to do. I can build a tower for you to knock down or you can find something else to play with" I proceed to engage the younger children in something similar and keep them from the older children's creations. Most of the time this works out well, and sooner rather than later they start to understand to respect the space and explorations of others.
Then, sometimes, it all works out and we all explore together...
playing, learning, and growing with the help of each other.

This page contains the original text of As You Like It, Act 5, Scene 2. Shakespeare's original As You Like It text is extremely long, so we've split the text into one Scene per page. All Acts are listed on the As You Like It text page, or linked to from the bottom of this page.
As You Like It, Act 5, Scene 2: The forest
Enter ORLANDO and OLIVER
Is't possible that on so little acquaintance you
should like her? that but seeing you should love
her? and loving woo? and, wooing, she should
grant? and will you persever to enjoy her?
Neither call the giddiness of it in question, the
poverty of her, the small acquaintance, my sudden
wooing, nor her sudden consenting; but say with me,
I love Aliena; say with her that she loves me;
consent with both that we may enjoy each other: it
shall be to your good; for my father's house and all
the revenue that was old Sir Rowland's will I
estate upon you, and here live and die a shepherd.
You have my consent. Let your wedding be to-morrow:
thither will I invite the duke and all's contented
followers. Go you and prepare Aliena; for look
you, here comes my Rosalind.
Enter ROSALIND
God save you, brother.
And you, fair sister.
O, my dear Orlando, how it grieves me to see thee
wear thy heart in a scarf!
It is my arm.
I thought thy heart had been wounded with the claws
of a lion.
Wounded it is, but with the eyes of a lady.
Did your brother tell you how I counterfeited to
swoon when he showed me your handkerchief?
Ay, and greater wonders than that.
O, I know where you are: nay, 'tis true: there was
never any thing so sudden but the fight of two rams
and Caesar's thrasonical brag of 'I came, saw, and
overcame:' for your brother and my sister no sooner
met but they looked, no sooner looked but they
loved, no sooner loved but they sighed, no sooner
sighed but they asked one another the reason, no
sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy;
and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs
to marriage which they will climb incontinent, or
else be incontinent before marriage: they are in
the very wrath of love and they will together; clubs
cannot part them.
They shall be married to-morrow, and I will bid the
duke to the nuptial. But, O, how bitter a thing it
is to look into happiness through another man's
eyes! By so much the more shall I to-morrow be at
the height of heart-heaviness, by how much I shall
think my brother happy in having what he wishes for.
Why then, to-morrow I cannot serve your turn for Rosalind?
I can live no longer by thinking.
I will weary you then no longer with idle talking.
Know of me then, for now I speak to some purpose,
that I know you are a gentleman of good conceit: I
speak not this that you should bear a good opinion
of my knowledge, insomuch I say I know you are;
neither do I labour for a greater esteem than may in
some little measure draw a belief from you, to do
yourself good and not to grace me. Believe then, if
you please, that I can do strange things: I have,
since I was three year old, conversed with a
magician, most profound in his art and yet not
damnable. If you do love Rosalind so near the heart
as your gesture cries it out, when your brother
marries Aliena, shall you marry her: I know into
what straits of fortune she is driven; and it is
not impossible to me, if it appear not inconvenient
to you, to set her before your eyes tomorrow human
as she is and without any danger.
Speakest thou in sober meanings?
By my life, I do; which I tender dearly, though I
say I am a magician. Therefore, put you in your
best array: bid your friends; for if you will be
married to-morrow, you shall, and to Rosalind, if you will.
Enter SILVIUS and PHEBE
Look, here comes a lover of mine and a lover of hers.
Youth, you have done me much ungentleness,
To show the letter that I writ to you.
I care not if I have: it is my study
To seem despiteful and ungentle to you:
You are there followed by a faithful shepherd;
Look upon him, love him; he worships you.
Good shepherd, tell this youth what 'tis to love.
It is to be all made of sighs and tears;
And so am I for Phebe.
And I for Ganymede.
And I for Rosalind.
And I for no woman.
It is to be all made of faith and service;
And so am I for Phebe.
And I for Ganymede.
And I for Rosalind.
And I for no woman.
It is to be all made of fantasy,
All made of passion and all made of wishes,
All adoration, duty, and observance,
All humbleness, all patience and impatience,
All purity, all trial, all observance;
And so am I for Phebe.
And so am I for Ganymede.
And so am I for Rosalind.
And so am I for no woman.
If this be so, why blame you me to love you?
If this be so, why blame you me to love you?
If this be so, why blame you me to love you?
Who do you speak to, 'Why blame you me to love you?'
To her that is not here, nor doth not hear.
Pray you, no more of this; 'tis like the howling
of Irish wolves against the moon.
To SILVIUS
I will help you, if I can:
To PHEBE
I would love you, if I could. To-morrow meet me all together.
To PHEBE
I will marry you, if ever I marry woman, and I'll be
married to-morrow:
To ORLANDO
I will satisfy you, if ever I satisfied man, and you
shall be married to-morrow:
To SILVIUS
I will content you, if what pleases you contents
you, and you shall be married to-morrow.
To ORLANDO
As you love Rosalind, meet:
To SILVIUS
as you love Phebe, meet: and as I love no woman,
I'll meet. So fare you well: I have left you commands.
I'll not fail, if I live.
Nor I.
Nor I.
