I am content to see this pullback, which proves that just as I said last week, there was no particular rush to buy stocks at 1230 just because of this QE2 monster. After all, Bernanke did not just give $600 Bln to companies as a free gift, so a money-losing bankruptcy candidate still remains a money-losing bankruptcy candidate...
I have to agree - stocks are moving more based on current and future earnings prospects. The market is still a speculative place, but at least it is grounded in earnings.
I wish I had bought NFLX a year ago!
I also wish I did, but if I had a habit of buying speculative stocks that would allow me to buy NFLX, I would also have bought a bunch of losers, so upon a second thought I don't regret it :)
I don't typically buy tech stocks (though I do own GOOG), so I missed out. I've just been realizing with an HDTV/internet/NFLX what the future of tv is going to be like. Cable is dead, broadcast will die..
I'm still buying boring manufacturing companies and shippers..
"Bernanke did not just give $600 Bln to companies as a free gift"
No, he printed *himself* $600B and used it to purchase gov't securities from banks that had already purchased them from the gov't. This gives them cash with which to speculate, and they're choosing to do it in the stock market and commodities markets, as you'd expect rational people to do.
It's not evil that they're speculating, but evil that our purchasing power was diluted in order to enable it.
Sure, but the companies whose stocks the banks speculate with did not become more profitable. Take XOM, for instance: it was a Ch 11 story, and will remain so even after QE3. And the Russel 3000 index is full of such zombies.

Ahh, the holiday season. When it's so nice to climb into flannel jammies, pour a steaming cup of cocoa and settle by a roaring fireplace with a good book. • Who am I kidding? This is Florida, and the last thing we need for the holidays is more warmth. The book's a nice idea, though. At least Hollywood thinks so. • Not that movie studios want you staying home to enjoy great literature. Theater marquees during this holiday season will resemble library shelves, with titles ranging from Anna Karenina to Life of Pi, and authors as diverse as J.R.R. Tolkien and Victor Hugo. • It's no coincidence that the holidays also mark the start of awards season, and nothing in Hollywood says "prestige" louder than "based on the bestselling book." • Our annual holiday movie guide focuses on the remaining 2012 films most likely to join the list of Academy Award contenders. You'll notice a couple of big names in genre flicks missing: Tom Cruise as author Lee Child's tough guy Jack Reacher (Dec. 21) and Brad Pitt in George V. Higgins' crime yarn Killing Them Softly (Nov. 30). • Neither should Gerard Butler (Playing for Keeps, Dec. 7), Barbra Streisand (The Guilt Trip, Dec. 19) or writer-director Judd Apatow (This is 40, Dec. 20) rush to make plans to attend Oscar night at the Hollywood's rechristened Dolby Theater. Those movies aren't even based on bestsellers. • But these 12 movies appear to be charming the academy members, as literary adaptations often do. When it comes to handing out awards, Hollywood likes playing by the book.
This year's holiday movie season began in earnest Wednesday with the debuts of three award contenders:
Life of Pi (PG-13)
Ang Lee's movie is a sumptuous 3-D fantasy based on Yann Martel's novel about a boy's survival at sea, sharing a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. Life of Pi beautifully realizes 3-D's potential as a storytelling device rather than a gimmick, keeping viewers fascinated through the movie's misguided climax. Full review
Silver Linings Playbook (R)
This is writer-director David O. Russell's followup to The Fighter, based on Matthew Quick's novel. Bradley Cooper stars as a man dealing with bipolar disorder, a dysfunctional family led by Robert De Niro and an equally unstable love interest (Jennifer Lawrence). Full review
Rise of the Guardians
William Joyce's book becomes a frenetic, frequently beautiful 3-D animated film, featuring a Justice League of childhood icons. Santa Claus (voice of Alec Baldwin) leads the Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman), Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher) and Jack Frost (Chris Pine) in a mission to prevent evil Pitch Black (Jude Law) from making all dreams nightmares. Full review
Anna Karenina
Keira Knightley slips back into her corsets to play the tragic title character of Leo Tolstoy's novel. The story has been filmed plenty of times — famously with Greta Garbo — but never before like this. Director Joe Wright (Atonement) keeps most of the drama confined to a theater with inventive blocking and set changes, and a tone reminiscent of Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge.
A buffet for film buffs, starring Anthony Hopkins in an adaptation of Stephen Rebello's book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. Hopkins is superb as expected, and Helen Mirren matches him as Hitch's wife and creative consultant Alma Reville. Some details of Sacha Gervasi's movie are jaw-dropping, like Hitchcock ordering the purchase of all copies of Robert Bloch's Psycho, so audiences wouldn't know how his movie ends.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
One ring rules them all but three movies aren't enough to cover J.R.R. Tolkien's vision of Middle-earth. Director and co-writer Peter Jackson revives his Lord of the Rings wizardry by turning to Tolkien's first adventures of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and Gandalf (Ian McKellen). They're joined by a band of dwarves on a quest to reclaim treasure stolen by the dragon Smaug. Expect a cliffhanger: Two more Hobbit flicks are slated for release in 2013 and 2014.
Les Mis�rables
Victor Hugo's sweeping novel set in 19th century France inspired two dozen conventional film and TV versions before it became a Broadway musical smash. Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) tackles the sing-through pursuit of Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) by Inspector Javert (Russell Crowe) during revolutionary times. Anne Hathaway as Fantine appears headed back to the Oscars show, this time as a nominee. She dreams a dream of time to come.
Django Unchained
Okay, so it's not based on a book, but it's Quentin Tarantino, so what's a [email protected]#$%&@#$%&! supposed to do? The Q-man turns his grindhouse revisionism to spaghetti Westerns, with a side order of blaxploitation. Jamie Foxx stars as a former slave hellbent on freeing his wife, aided by a bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz). There's Oscar buzz for Leonardo DiCaprio as "inglourious" plantation owner Calvin Candie.
Four more Hollywood gifts to moviegoers are on layaway, opening in L.A. and New York before New Year's Eve to be Oscar-eligible, and few other places until early 2013. It's a strategy intended to sustain visibility and momentum until the nominations are announced Jan. 10. • Coincidentally, all four latecomers aren't based on books, although it's easy to find reading material on their subjects. Here's the skinny plus suggestions for your Kindle, Nook or perhaps a library visit:
Promised Land
Matt Damon and John Krasinski (TV's The Office) co-wrote this environmental drama, and respectively co-star as a natural gas industry representative and the farmer whose land he wants to buy for fracking purposes. Other farmers sell, and soon find their fields destroyed by the drilling technique. Read about it in Tom Wilbur's Under the Surface.
Hyde Park on Hudson
The talk of the Telluride Film Festival was Bill Murray's deft impersonation of Franklin D. Roosevelt, carrying on an affair with his cousin (Laura Linney) and entertaining King George VI (the stuttering one) and Queen Elizabeth during a weekend in upstate New York. Read Margaret Suckley's diaries and letters from FDR in Closest Companion, edited by Geoffrey C. Ward.
Zero Dark Thirty
The Hurt Locker's Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal take aim at the decadelong hunt for Osama bin Laden. The movie reportedly focuses on a CIA analyst (Jessica Chastain) sorting clues leading to the 9/11 terrorist attack leader, and Navy SEAL Team Six forces closing in. Read No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden by Mark Owen and Kevin Maurer.
The Impossible
A British family separated by an earthquake and tsunami struggle to find each other in decimated Thailand. Based on a true story, Naomi Watts plays the mother, Ewan McGregor the father, but the awesome special effects are the star of the preview trailers. Read William W. Lace's account of the disaster in The Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004.

[10base5, AUI, 10AUI] This is definitely wrong. 10base5 is "thicknet" - the old heavy coax, 500m length limit, whereas AUI is not strictly a media type at all; it's a host<->transceiver interface that can be used with at least four different types of transceiver in my experience (10base5, 10base2, 10baseT, and something over fiber that I don't know the proper name of) and probably more I've never seen. Now for the purposes of ifmedia(4), AUI should probably count as a media type, even if it is somewhat of a misnomer. But the documentation definitely should not make it sound as though AUI is the same thing as 10base5! Also, some of the pins on the AUI connector are unused; "15-wire cables" is misleading. Some of my AUI drop cables have as few as nine pins present on the male (host) connector, and as far as I can tell they work fine. der Mouse email@example.com 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B

In addition to exploring the city and enjoying delicious coffee and food, all of us have begun to get acquainted with the R/V Melville, it's layout and facilities, and many of the scientists and crew aboard for the upcoming cruise across the South Pacific. I have gotten lost more than once while aboard the ship, and am struggling to learn everyone's names. Over the last two days, everybody on the P6 cruise has worked to load the R/V Melville with all the equipment, fuel, food and innumerable other items that might be needed over the next six weeks of cruising, collecting, sampling, analyzing, eating, sleeping, and living…not an easy task, especially when temperatures outside the ship are near 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Veteran, historic and classic cars urgently needed to join a special event in aid of Help For Heroes and the Respect Carers charity this Sunday (29th June).
A special car run will start off a 12noon from Respect Green Burial Park in Scrooby and make its way to the Hop Pole pub in Retford, slowing by several old inns along the way for passengers to receive complimentary tots of the good stuff.
"The aim is to re-ignite an old motoring tradition from the 1900 to the 1930s where the owners of the Inns around the shires used to thank drivers of those early cars for causing so much interest and stopping by with their motor cars," said Gordon Tulley of Respect Bawtry.
"Now, with the same enthusiasm, five local inns and hotel keepers have instantly agreed to help promote this Help For Heroes event."
"Plus, with kind permission of the current owner of the famous Wiseton Hall Estate, where many old F1 cars were collected and stored, we have been allowed to bring our cars through and around the stable courtyard."
Anyone wishing to join in should go to the website at www.respectbawtry.blogspot.co.uk to confirm their entry.
However, just turning up on the day will also be highly appreciated.

Hamilton wants more teachers in 2013-14
Budget bump request: Includes security upgrades, raises
Updated 10:26 pm, Tuesday, January 15, 2013
STAMFORD -- Superintendent Winifred Hamilton released her operating budget request for 2013-14, calling for a 3.66 percent increase over this fiscal year, a rise largely driven by a new teachers' contract, an increase in enrollment and the need to shift positions as a multimillion-dollar grant from the GE Foundation ends.
Hamilton's second budget request was markedly different from her first, which she submitted last year as interim superintendent. In January 2012, she asked for a 3.5 percent increase, while pitching new programs.
This year, the increase seeks to maintain programs as the district's student population increases for the fifth year in a row, while adding security officials to elementary schools in response to last month's school shootings in Newtown.
"My priorities in developing the budget were fiscal responsibility and accountability, definitely," Hamilton said Tuesday evening. "Also, long-term planning, support to schools and certainly, last but not least, security and safety of the schools. That's what was the main thrust of the budget work this year."
Hamilton's budget of $245.4 million for 2013-14 is about $8.7 million higher than the current budget. About one-third of that increase is directly linked to the teachers' contract, which balances salary increases with health insurance offsets to add $2.7 million to the budget.
The second largest driver for the increase is the expiration of the GE Developing Futures grant, which has pumped $25 million into the district over the last several years and ends in June. In order to sustain the academic programs and student gains realized under the grant, Hamilton said roughly a dozen positions must be brought into the operating budget at a cost of $1.6 million.
An enrollment increase also accounts for about 17 percent of the budget rise, with 13 teacher positions and two specialist-teacher positions added to the elementary schools, as well as funds for reserve teachers and para-educators should the district need to add extra classes over the summer or in the beginning of the school year, a reality that has repeated itself annually as enrollment has shot upward in recent years.
"Thirteen -- you know, wow," Hamilton said Tuesday. "That's all I can say. It's challenging."
While the budget calls for 13 additional teachers, the superintendent has been able to identify five middle school teachers who can be moved to the lower grades to shift resources in a cost-savings measure.
According to budget documents, Stark Elementary School will see the largest student growth of all 20 public schools, with an additional 40 students predicted in the fall. As a result, the budget includes plans to add three new classes at Stark in September -- two second-grade sections and one first-grade bilingual section, which would be filled by transferring a bilingual teacher from K.T. Murphy Elementary School.
"Given those two major pressure points, I think (3.66 percent) is a very tight starting point," said Board of Education President Geoff Alswanger. "I think that one of the challenges is to understand all of the trade-offs and how the superintendent's been able to do this."
To help offset costs, Hamilton said the school district's central office will take a hit as she "tightens the belt" on staffing at 888 Washington Blvd.
"We lost a clerical position in (human resources), a retiree in finance. I reduced in central office the chief academic officer, the director of language arts and social studies, the director of math and science, the director of (English Language Learners), the program coordinator for the GE Developing Futures position ended in June, and also there's a middle school coaching position that was in the GE grant has ended," she said. "So that was seven reductions at central office."
The reductions will bring challenges to the district's central office, but Hamilton said while "we may have to be thinner, but we'll be more actively involved at the building level."
Originally Hamilton predicted a 3.98 percent increase, and she found that it would take 3.29 percent simply to "maintain the level of services for the increased enrollment and staffing requirements." A $270,000 move to add three administrative interns at the city's middle schools, where assistant principal positions were eliminated during a recent budget cycle to free up funds for other programs, brought the budget increase up to 3.4 percent.
Some savings would be realized by once again reducing the amount of money allocated for student supplies. The budget calls for decreasing the amount of funds allocated to each school on a per-pupil basis by 10 percent, which would cut the elementary school funds from $67 to $60 per student, while trimming middle school allocations from $81 to $75 and high school allocations from $99 to $90 per student.
A last-minute addition to include 12 security guards at the city's elementary schools tacked on another $600,000 and brought the total requested increase to 3.66 percent. According to budget documents, the proposal will likely be the lowest requested in the next three years, with further enrollment increases and contractual wage increases for teachers contributing to the need for a 3.86 percent increase in 2014-15 and a 3.79 percent increase in 2015-16.
School board members began dissecting the budget during a meeting of the board's Fiscal Committee Tuesday evening; residents are to have a say at a public hearing at Westover Elementary School on Jan. 31.

Product Description

Building on their first successful collaboration, more Self and Steadman on the oddities of place in the contemporary world.

Will Self's satiric eye and hyperactive prose meet once again with Ralph Steadman's manic hand and effulgent color, creating the coveted sequel to their collaboration Psychogeography: here is Psycho Too. In this energetic romp through an all-new landscape, Self and Steadman further explore the effects of our geographical environment—natural, man-made, or man-manipulated—on our emotions and behavior, and the interplay of surroundings and self.

In the introductory essay, Self sets out to walk the entire length of Britain—or, more precisely, a Britainshaped island off the coast of Dubai, part of the artificial archipelago of private isles replicating, in miniature, all the world's landmasses. Fifty additional short essays cover terrain from Istanbul to Los Angeles, East Yorkshire to Easter Island, all accompanied by Steadman's inimitable illustrations. Psycho Too is a dazzling guide to the wheres and wherefores of the way we live now.

Zimbabwe has in the last five years witnessed the emergence of different musical genres that have taken centre stage with music fans. That trend has seen genres like rumba fizzling out while others like sungura continue to claim their space in the industry. Sungura has resonated strongly with the public that it has woven itself into the fibres of culture. In the same breath, Zumba, a fitness dance movement, has taken on a cultural significance in Zimbabwe.It has become synonymous with nearly every fitness centre that uses aerobics.
When Zumba was launched some five years ago, the genre tapped into several emerging trends that together created the right conditions for it.
It also increased the Latino influence on local mainstream culture and the growing awareness of keeping fit through exercising.
It is for this reason that the Zumba fitness dance movement has found favour with a lot of fitness enthusiasts.
A local fitness enthusiast who runs Active Gym in Borrowdale, Ms Debbie Peters, said the Zumba dance movement classes had become popular with people keen on losing weight.
The classes, says Ms Peters, are usually subscribed by music lovers who want to combine dance and music while exercising.
"(The) Zumba dance movement has established authentic relevance and deeper emotional connections with fitness enthusiasts. In fact the connection between people to music through the Zumba dance movement and their quest to tone down and remain fit is so strong that the line between the two worlds has become blurred," she said.
Although the Zumba dance was first introduced in the United States in Miami in 1999, the Latin-inspired dance class originated in Colombia more than a decade earlier.
Zumba, dubbed "dance party", grew from an improvised dance class in a Colombian aerobics studio in the 1980s to become a widespread exercise phenomenon with more than 10 million regular participants as of 2010.
In Zimbabwe, the phenomenon started around 2012 and has since grown.
Peters says since then Zumba dance classes have become rallying cry in most fitness centres in and around Harare.

Skip to comments.Minuteman draws protesters' ire[UT Austin, Texas]
Posted on 04/11/2007 2:48:42 PM PDT by SwinneySwitch
Demonstration disrupts speech by controversial group's founder
Police escorted five protesters outside during a Tuesday evening speech by Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, arresting one and detaining another, said University spokeswoman Rhonda Weldon.
The Young Conservatives of Texas hosted Simcox, who spoke at the Geology Building. Constant chants and heckling from demonstrators hindered Simcox's speech, resulting in the police's intervention.
Weldon said one individual was arrested with a criminal trespassing charge, and another was detained briefly for "interfering with a police officer."
The Minuteman Corps, which consists of citizen volunteers, aids in the discovery of illegal border activity, according to the organization's Web site. Minutemen are required to complete a training session addressing immigration laws, contacting congressmen and using night vision and radio, said Clark Kirby, director of the Texas branch.
However, the organization has been called a vigilante group with the potential for violence and human rights violations by opposing organizations, such as the American Civil Liberties Union. No such incidents have been officially reported.
The Texas chapter, active since 2004, is the largest and most successful Minuteman unit extending from Rio Grande City to Hidalgo, Texas, Kirby said. He said volunteers range from business professionals to truck drivers.
It took administrators 10 minutes to quiet the chants of approximately 30 people attending the event.
Protesters shouted, "When I say racist, you say out! Racist! Out! When I say Simcox, you say out! Simcox! Out!"
Associate Dean of Students Margarita Arellano warned demonstrators three times before police officers escorted individuals out of the building.
"We have a duty to uphold free speech here," she said.
Austin resident Connor Reed, 26, helped lead the protesters' shouts.
"I think an attack on immigrants is an attack on native-born people," he said, "An attack on a part is an attack on the whole."
Simcox stood silently, arms crossed behind his back until the chants subsided.
"I don't blame the well-intentioned men and women who are coming here for a better life or for [the lives] of their families. I would do the same thing," Simcox said. "Actually, what I am doing now is revolting against my government in a peaceful way using the system, and that's the way we work as a nation."
Government sophomore Elizabeth Young, chairman of UT's YCT chapter, said the campus organization believes the Minutemen are doing what the government won't do.
"We view them as freedom fighters," she said.
Good. These left wing thugs need to learn some manners.
Yet the left again tries to drown out free speech.
Obviously Commor's mom did drugs during that pregnancy.
I wish I had known so I could have given them some support in the Peoples Republic of UT. I'm just a few miles up 183, and am itching to counter heckle some libs.
UT has been a hotbed of anti-Americanism since the 1960s. Thank god I'm an Aggie!
UT has been a hotbed of anti-Americanism since the 1960s. Thank God Im an Aggie!
"I think an attack on immigrants is an attack on native-born people," he said, "An attack on a part is an attack on the whole."
It's too bad the Libs couldn't be running this guy. He's got it all figured out.
I've noticed a lot of that verbal dyslexia from liberals these days.
If you can't say anything that makes sense, don't try. Just keep talking.
If I understand this genius, he said paraphrasing 'I think an attack on people who broke our nation's laws and are here illegally, is an attack on people who were born here.'
Don't even attempt to understand this lad. He's obviously a "Rocket Science" major. "Berkeley on the Brazos" is full of 'em.
Guessing it might have something to do with Aztlan?
¿Quién sabe?
Berkeley on the Colorado?
So, if he believes the only sensible thing he managed to say, why isn't this 26 YO genius over fighting those who attacked the whole of us, when they attacked the part of us, on 9/11?
He sounds like he's smoking a 50-50 mix of Berkeley Brown and Apapulco Gold...without culling the seeds.
I wonder what their freeper names are.

text: A new report by Screen Digest (abridged by Gamasutra) suggest that the PS3 will outsell both the 360 and Wii respectively by 2010, though "PS2-style dominance will not be repeated."

That'll be "a distant third" according to the conservative analysis.

The Flyers pressured the Leafs and off the scramble in front of the Leafs net, Claude Giroux pounced on the puck and beat James Reimer.The goal came just 3:17 after the Leafs closed the gap. It stood up as the winning goal. With the loss, the Leafs are now six points behind eighth place in the Eastern Conference. 15 Penalty minutes on the night for Mike Komisarek. 7 Career wins for Brian Boucher in 11 games against the Leafs. 4 Games without a goal for Phil Kessel. 214 Hits for Luke Schenn on the season. 20:43 Ice-time for Brett Lebda which was a season high. 1st Star Claude Giroux G A P +/- Shots 1 1 2 E 3 2nd Star Mikhail Grabovski G A P +/- Shots 1 0 1 -1 5 3rd Star Brian Boucher SA SV GA TOI SV% 29 27 2 60:00 .931 There was no hotter Flyer entering the game than Giroux. The third-year forward has continued his breakout season as he leads the team in points and assists. Thursday, he not only had the winning goal but he also set up the first Philadelphia goal. In his career he has 10 points in 10 games against the Leafs. He finished the night with two points, three shots, two hits and four blocked shots. He now has 27 points in the last 23 games. Dion Phaneuf has played a lot of hockey in the last two games. After Mike Komisarek was ejected for boarding, Phaneuf and the other four defencemen all played over 20 minutes. The Leafs captain played his third most minutes of the season (29:35). He was very effective in joining the rush and also getting back in his own zone. He picked up an assist when his point shot went off Mikhail Graovski's visor and in. Phaneuf also had four hits and was a plus one. Six. The number of points that the Leafs are behind the New York Rangers and Buffalo for the final playoff spots in the East. With the loss, the Leafs have now picked up just one point in their last three games. The defeat marked just their second regulation loss since February 12. An area where they will need to get better at is allowing the first goal and getting behind the eight ball. The opposition has now scored the opening goal in five straight games. Ron Wilson's reaction to the call on Mike Komisarek and its toll: "It's a five-minute major for sure for hitting from behind.Yeah, that's tough ... you don't get into a rhythm. I don't think we had everybody on the ice yet, then you're going to trim things down and probably use six forwards up front to kill and you've got to kill off five minutes. That kind of takes some of the energy out but I thought we did a pretty good job." Saturday, March 12 vs. Buffalo Sabres 7 PM ET (CBC, AM640) Game Notes: The Maple Leafs' homestand continues against Buffalo on Saturday in what now ranks as the biggest game of the season. The Sabres are coming off a big 4-3 overtime win over Boston on Thursday. The game in Toronto concludes a seven-game road trip that has seen Buffalo go 4-1-1. View More View Less

P. Diddy: I don't make apologies for what I have
28/06/2013 - 10:53:22Back to Showbiz Home
P. Diddy claims he doesn't lead a life of excess.
The rapper – who is allegedly the richest person in hip-hop with a net worth of $550 million – is famed for his lavish lifestyle, designer clothes and extravagant parties, but insists people have got the wrong idea about him because he doesn't spend money for the sake of it.
He told Los Angeles Confidential magazine: "I like nice things, but life's pretty normal around here. People think, 'Oh, Diddy's probably running around his mansion spooning caviar into his mouth.' I don't even like caviar."
Diddy – whose real name is Sean Combs – has five children by three different mothers and revealed he feels no shame in spoiling his kids with expensive gifts since his family are the reason he stays grounded.
He explained: "A lot of people say yes to me, I admit that. But I'm blessed by how much the mothers of my children love to tell me the truth. They don't let me get away with anything!
"I don't make apologies for what I have. Especially in these economic times, it's an achievement to have financial success.
"If part of that is to spoil your kids, to give them things, it's okay, as long as they appreciate what they have."
The 43-year-old star – who is rumoured to be dating R&B singer Cassie – believes the best part of fame is discovering brand new talent and mentoring artists to success, which he does via his music label, Bad Boy Records.
Diddy mused: "It's really like a spiritual type of experience, making that connection with someone. You get these goose bumps when you encounter a diamond in the rough.
"You see potential. You see possibilities unfolding before your eyes. It helps me to help them."

The New York Mets (42-49) were looking for the series victory against the Atlanta Braves (49-42) tonight at Citi Field. Dillon Gee, making his first start since May 10th, took the mound for the Mets, as Ervin Santana got the start for Atlanta.
What you should know:
The Mets got off to an early start again tonight, as they took the lead in the bottom of the first with Lucas Duda driving in Daniel Murphy. The Mets have now scored sixty-two runs in the first inning this season, good for best in the MLB.
The Braves would tie the game in the bottom of the sixth, as B.J. Upton drove a ball to deep left center to score Ervin Santana. The ball was cut off by Lucas Duda who threw out Upton trying to advance on the play to end the inning.
The Mets would regain the lead in the bottom of the seventh, as Kirk Nieuwenhuis drove in David Wright with a sacrifice fly, followed by a two-run bomb by Travis d'Arnaud, making it 4-1 Mets.
Dillon Gee picked up right where he left off tonight, pitching a very impressive outing, throwing seven innings allowing one run on six hits, walking one and striking out four. A great sign to see from Gee, who has been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball since last May.
Ervin Santana would pitch seven innings for the Braves as well, allowing four runs on six hits, while walking two and striking out four, taking the loss.
Final score: Mets 4 , Braves 1
Winning pitcher: Dillon Gee (4-1)
Losing pitcher: Ervin Santana (7-6)
Save: Jenrry Mejia (9)
Player of the Game:
Tonight's Player of the Game goes to Mets starting pitcher Dillon Gee, who pitched seven quality innings, allowing only one run and earning the win. Gee never missed a beat, as this was his first start in fifty-five games.
On deck:
The Mets look for the series sweep tomorrow night at Citi Field with Bartolo Colon (8-7, 4.04 ERA) facing former Met Aaron Harang (8-6, 3.67 ERA)

Brakes problem
1996 Lexus ES 300 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 70000 miles
96 Lexus ES300, kid puts on the parking brake and then backs out of driveway. As he attempts to pull away in forward he recognizes the brake is on and releases it Notices burning smell and grinding noise during 5 mile drive. Afterwards I'm told "Hey Dad, something's wrong with the Lexus". Nice.
Car moves in reverse, no problem. When moving forward, front wheels turn, but rear tires alternate getting locked up. Rears may make half a rotation then freeze.
Car spends its nights outside in freezing temps. We had an ice storm last night. The brake issue occurs 20 minutes after the car was started for the first time today.
Beside teaching the teen to park it when he's got a problem like this, any one have any suggestions, and if so is it a DIY solution?
have the same problem?

My final paper for Cappadocian Theology, completed on 12/17/2009, got a 90, for which I am very grateful to God. The feedback from my professor was nothing but great constructive criticism. The problems were that I needed to (1) engage the texts themselves (esp. On the Holy Spirit by St. Basil the Great) rather than appealing to various biased authorities for the interpretation of the text (this goes for everyone, whatever his thesis on this is); (2) be clearer about what I mean by Filioque; (3) differentiate between the Augustinian and Carolingian and Scholastic concepts of Filioque; and (4) not generalize that all the Latin Fathers would support Filioque as it came to be defined in the Scholastic age. He argued that with the Cappadocian principle, Filioque would mean, for St. Gregory the Theologian, that the Holy Spirit must be a source of Himself. Thus, the paper would not really convince anybody. I replied to my professor's critique, thanking him for his highly constructive criticism, which included much praise that I must refer to God, the author of my salvation and the source of the myriad blessings in my life and the lives of others. Some of these flaws in my paper stem from space constraints. In the paper I use Filioque to mean that in the ontological Trinity, the person of the Father, through and with the person of the Son, eternally spirates the person of the Holy Spirit in one spiration as from one principle (cf. Denzinger 460, 463, 691, 1084).
That being said, here is my paper as I submitted it, with two minor typos corrected (they slipped through a triple proof reading!):
The Cappadocian Fathers and Filioque
Careful examination of the writings of the Cappadocian Fathers reveals that they agree with the doctrine of Filioque.
St. Basil the Great (†379) writes in Epistle 214:4, "In God, whatever appertains to nature is common … but the Person is known by the character of paternity, or filiation, or sanctifying power."{1} Photius (†891) echoes this teaching in Mystagogy of the Holy Spirit 19. In section 10 of the same work, Photius asserts that Filioque attributes to the Son a property distinctive of the Father, thereby confusing the hypostatic properties of the Father and the Son and destroying the μοναρχία of the Father. St. Basil, however, does not draw the same conclusion. In his understanding, active spiration is not proper to the Father. Generation (paternity), filiation, and passive spiration are the hypostatic properties; it is proper to the Holy Spirit to be spirated, but it is not proper to the Father to spirate. We know this from St. Basil's writing Against Eunomius.
{3} Ibid., 289B,292A.
During the Council of Florence, controversy arose as to whether the passage from St. Basil's Against Eunomius was genuine.{4} Against the Catholic theologian John of Montenero (†1446), Metropolitan Mark Eugenikos of Ephesus (†1444) argued that the text promoted by the Catholics was spurious. He based his argument on "the number and quality of the Greeks' books" and his belief that St. Basil did not think "that any saints … had ever taught that the Holy Spirit was third in dignity and order."{6} Mark, the leading opponent of what he thought to be a false union, also argued that St. Basil says that the Father alone spirates the Holy Spirit in Letter 38:4 to his brother, St. Gregory of Nyssa. St. Basil writes that
the Holy Spirit, from Whom all provision of good flows to creation, depends on the Son with Whom He is inseparably apprehended, but has His being dependent on the Father as cause from Whom He proceeds. He has this mark of His hypostatic individuality, that He is known after the Son and with Him and that He subsists from the Father. But the Son, the sole only-begotten emitted from the unbegotten light, knowing through Himself and with Himself the Spirit proceeding from the Father, has no communion with the Father or the Holy Spirit as regards individuating marks, but is known by only the above mentioned signs.{6}{4} Giovanni Domenico Mansi, M.C.I. Sacrorum conciliorum nova et amplissima collectio, 31:783A-794C.
{5} Joseph Gill, S.J. The Council of Florence (Cambridge: University Press, 1959), 203.
According to Assumptionist Byzantine scholar Fr. Martin Jugie (†1954), St. Basil here uses "cause" in the sense of προκαταρτικὴν αἰτία or αἰτίας ἀχρόνως, which can only be the Father.{7} He also, without denying that the Son spirates the Holy Spirit, uses "proceeds" in the strict sense of the Holy Spirit's relationship of origin to the Father, and speaks in the same sense in his key work On the Holy Spirit;{8} this vocabulary is explained later in the discussion of St. Gregory the Theologian's Oration 34. Mark interpreted St. Basil's mention of the Holy Spirit's dependence on the Son only as the Holy Spirit's enumeration after the Son.{9} John countered, with reference to other Basilian texts, that St. Basil describes the order whereby one person is from another person with Whom He shares the divine nature.{10} One of these texts, the disputed one alleged to be from St. Basil's Against Eunomius Book III, Chapter 1,{11} reads
Even if the Holy Spirit is third in dignity and order, why need He be third also in nature? For that He is second to the Son, having His being from Him and receiving from Him and announcing to us and being completely dependent on Him, pious tradition recounts; but that His nature is third we are not taught by the Saints nor can we conclude logically from what has been said.{7} Martin Jugie, A.A. De processione spiritus sancti ex fontibus revelationis et secundum orientales dissidentes (Rome: Istituto Grafico Tiberino, 1936), 148.
{8} Ibid., 147-148.
{9} Gill, The Council, 203.
{10} Ibid., 204.
St. Basil agreed with Eunomius that the Holy Spirit is a distinct hypostasis by His personal dignity and third in numerical order after the Father and the Son.{12} That the Son gives existence to the Holy Spirit was not merely the bishop's personal opinion, but was sacred tradition that he was faithfully transmitting. Nevertheless, St. Basil does not agree with Eunomius that this implies that the Holy Spirit is ἑτεροούσιος.

Archbishop Basilios Bessarion of Nicaea (†1472), "a great man whose name has unjustifiably been blackened,"{13} provides abundant evidence that the passage in question was truly from the pen of St. Basil. Bessarion, who was elevated to the cardinalate by Pope Eugene IV (†1447),{14} states that five of the six codices his compatriots brought to Florence contained the whole passage, while the sixth, from which the passage was missing, "was defective in some parts and had many additions, according to the pleasure of the corrupter."{15} Right after the Council of Florence terminated, Bessarion checked, to the best of his ability, all the manuscripts in the monasteries of Constantinople and discovered that the ancient codices had the passage, while the more recent ones lacked the passage.{16} Bessarion adds that one codex from 350 years before the Council had the passage erased so poorly that it was still visible, while the other codex had the passage covered with ink.{17} He quotes witnesses from earlier centuries to demonstrate the presence of the passage in the ancient manuscripts.{18}

The testimony of the erudite Bessarion, who, far from being "a traitor both to his religion and to his fatherland, was in fact one of his country's best friends,"{19} is most trustworthy. Moreover, John of Montenero brought an ancient codex with the whole passage from Metropolitan Dorotheus of Mitylene.{20} Nicholas de Cusa (†1464) brought to the Council of Florence a 600-year-old Constantinopolitan parchment to the Council of Florence,{21} which the Catholics did not have time to interpolate.{22} This manuscript predates the controversy between Pope St. Nicholas I the Great of Rome (†867) and Patriarch Photius of Constantinople. It is not likely that a Latinizing forger could have written and so neatly inserted such characteristically Greek phrases.{23}

{22} Gill, The Council, 201.
{23} Ibid., 224.
Finally, "the entire argument of Basil" against the heretic Eunomius "presupposes [the idea in the passage] as something logical and indispensable," according to the patrologist Otto Bardenhewer, D.D., Ph.D. (†1935).{24} As John of Montenero pointed out during the Council of Florence, St. Basil's goal in this section of his work "was to prove that there were firsts, seconds, and thirds in order and dignity of [hypostases] of one and the same nature."{25}

{25} Gill, The Council, 204.
In Oration 29:2{26} (the Third Theological Oration) on the Son, St. Gregory the Theologian (†390) says, "The Father is the Begetter and the Emitter … The Son is the Begotten, and the Holy Spirit is the Emission …"{27} In the same section, he suggests confining the discussion to "the Unbegotten and the Begotten and That which proceeds from the Father, as somewhere God the Word Himself says." Does this imply that the Son has no role in the ontological procession of the Holy Spirit? Fr. Jugie gives a negative answer, explaining that St. Gregory does not rule out the idea that the Son has it from the Father that He is also προβολεύς.{28} The fairness of the scholar's explanation becomes apparent when we compare St. Gregory's statement from this oration with comments he makes elsewhere.
{27} Philip Schaff, D.D. translation, used for the rest of the primary sources unless otherwise noted.
{28} Jugie, De processione, 164.
In Oration 34:10, St. Gregory lays special emphasis on the monarchy of the Father: "all that the Father has belongs likewise to the Son, except Causality."{29} Mark of Ephesus, in his July 1440 "Encyclical Letter to All the Orthodox," quotes this statement to show that the Son does not spirate the Holy Spirit.{30} If the Father is the only cause, Mark argues, the Holy Spirit does not proceed from the Son. However, St. Gregory uses "cause" in a narrower sense than proponents of Filioque do when they say that the Father and the Son are one "principle" of the Holy Spirit,{31} and he does not teach that the Son does not participate in the spiration of the third person of the Trinity.{32} He means that the Father is the only person of the Trinity Who does not take His origin from another; this hypostatic property of being the ungenerated generator does not include the notion of being the sole spirator of the Holy Spirit, as St. Gregory's other statements show.{33} Several codices of Oration 34 have "ingenerateness" instead of causality; the two words are synonyms for St. Gregory.{34} Moreover,{35} in Oration 41:9, he says, "All that the Father has the Son has also, except being Unbegotten."{36}
{31} When Catholics say one principle of the Holy Spirit, they use "principle" indeterminately. See Aquinas, Summa Theologica I, q. 36, art. 4, ad 4. The term "principle" of the Holy Spirit is a substantive name (a form with an accompanying suppositum), so even though the Father and the Son are two supposita spirating, They are not two principles because They are one form, God. See ibid., ad 7.
{32} Jugie, De processione, 165.
{33} Ibid., 165.
{34} Ibid., 165.
{35} Qtd. in ibid., 165.
We find, in Oration 31 (the Fifth Theological Oration) of St. Gregory, a number of indications of the Son's involvement in the hypostatic procession of the Holy Spirit. In Oration 31:4, the Theologian observes, "If ever there was a time when the Father was not, there was a time when the Son was not. If ever there was a time when the Son was not, then there was a time when the Spirit was not."{37} According to Fr. Jugie, St. Gregory here not only declares the co-eternality of the three hypostases, but also describes the Trinitarian ταξις so as to vaguely allude to the asymmetric dependence of the Holy Spirit on the Son.{38}
{38} Jugie, De processione, 162-163.
Other statements are clearer in their signification. In Oration 31:32, the saint compares the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit to "the sun and a ray and a light."{39} This figure implies more than just an eternal energetic shining forth (manifestation) of the Holy Spirit from the Father through the Son, which is the view of Gregory of Cyprus (†1290), who succeeded the unionist John XI Bekkos as Patriarch of Constantinople in 1283. The analogy St. Gregory uses implies that the Father and the Son act together to give existence to the Holy Spirit, because the globe of the sun is the unbegotten source, which, through and with the ray, produces the light.{40}
{40} Jugie, De processione, 161.
In Oration 31:8, St. Gregory points out that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father," as "our Savior Himself" declares. Here St. Gregory does not say that the Holy Spirit "proceeds" from the Father and the Son, because εκπόρευσις has always been used, even by the Eastern Fathers after the Cappadocians who expressly taught the idea of Filioque, to indicate the relationship of origin of the Holy Spirit to the sole ἀρχὴ-ἄναρχος and πηγή of the Godhead, the Father.{41} εκπόρευσις cannot be used in connection with the Son, because the Son is not unoriginate, but rather is begotten from the Father. St. Gregory deems the fact of εκπόρευσις sufficient to prove that the Holy Spirit is God: "inasmuch as He proceeds from That Source, [He] is no creature." Does this mean he had no idea of a relationship of origin between the Holy Spirit and the Son? On the contrary, his teaching, from the very same sentence, that the Holy Spirit "is between the Unbegotten and the Begotten" entails that the Holy Spirit also proceeds from the Son in the sphere of ontology,{42} though different vocabulary (προείναι instead of εκπόρευσις) must be used in order to convey this properly.{43}

{42} Jugie, De processione, 163.
{43} Pontifical Council, "The Father."
Further support for this thesis comes from the ninth section of the same oration, when St. Gregory explains why the Holy Spirit is not another Son. He points out that "the difference of manifestation, if I may so express myself, or rather of Their mutual relations one to another, has caused the difference of Their Names."{44} The relations of which St. Gregory speaks are clearly relations of origin.{45} For St. Gregory to be consistent with his own maxim and be able to distinguish the hypostases of the Son and the Holy Spirit, there must be, besides the relation between the Father and the Son and the relation between the Father and the Holy Spirit, a relation of origin between the Son and the Holy Spirit. The order of names tells us that the Son does not proceed from the Holy Spirit, so it must be the case that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son.{46}
{45} Jugie, De processione, 163.
{46} Ibid., 163.
In Oration 42:15,{47} his final farewell at the Second Ecumenical Council,{48} the Theologian does not deny that the Son, even though He is caused, spirates the Holy Spirit.{49} He teaches that the Father is ἅναρχος, the Son is ἀρχὴ, and the Holy Spirit is τὸ µετὰ τῆς ἀρχῆς, which, according to Dr. Bardenhewer, implies between the Holy Spirit and the Son the relation of One Who proceeds and One From Whom He proceeds. Additionally, in Oration 31:2,{50} St. Gregory expressly states that the Holy Spirit is "ἐξ μφοῖν συνημμένον," that is to say, the Holy Spirit is "composed of both" the Father and the Son.{51} According to Dr. Bardenhewer, the sense of the Theologian's words is that the Father and the Son both compose, so to speak, the Holy Spirit, i.e., the Father and the Son both produce or spirate the Holy Spirit.{52} It follows that St. Gregory teaches here that the Holy Spirit "proceeds equally from the Father and the Son."{53}

This being so, why didn't the Second Ecumenical Council, under St. Gregory's presidency,{54} define that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son? First, the Second Council did not need to define that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son, since that was not something the Pneumatomachi denied; the latter thought that the Son would of course be involved in the procession of any other person from the Father.{55} Second, the Council's goal "was to put the origin of the Holy [Spirit] on a footing with the origin of the Son with respect to consubstantiality with the Father," and since the Pneumatomachi denied that the Son is God, the Council would not achieve its goal of proving the Holy Spirit is ὁμοούσιος with God the Father by defining that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son.{56} Third, the Council wanted to base its definition on Holy Scripture, but the key text John 15:26, which formally teaches that "the Spirit of Truth … proceeds from the Father," does not formally teach that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son.{57} After the Cappadocians' time, why didn't the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Ecumenical Councils define that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son? These Holy Councils, which hailed many Filioquist Fathers as illustrious teachers of orthodoxy,{58} had no need to define this because no one was denying it in those times.{59}

In "To Ablabius on Not Three Gods,"{60} St. Gregory of Nyssa (†394) informs his friend,
While we confess the invariable character of the nature, we do not deny the difference in respect of cause, and that which is caused, by which alone we apprehend that one Person is distinguished from another; — by our belief, that is, that one is the Cause, and another is of the Cause; and again in that which is of the Cause we recognize another distinction. For one is directly from the first Cause, and another through that which is directly from the first Cause; so that the attribute of being Only-begotten abides without doubt in the Son, and the mediation of the Son, while it guards His attribute of being Only-begotten, does not shut out the Spirit from His relation by way of nature to the Father.{60} P.G. 45:133BC.
The bishop of Nyssa teaches that, while the Father is the only cause in the sense of being the only hypostasis Who does not take His origin from any other, the Son must somehow be involved in the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father if the generation of the Son is to be distinct from the procession of the Holy Spirit. The Son is the mediator such that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son. What does such a formula mean for St. Gregory?
{61} Jugie, De processione, 156.
{62} Ibid., 156.
The answer is found in Against the Macedonians on the Holy Spirit 6,{63} in which he draws the analogy of the three persons being three lights or torches who subsist in one nature of fire:
Where in each case activity in working good shows no diminution or variation whatever, how unreasonable it is to suppose the numerical order to be a sign of any diminution, or any variation with respect to nature. It is as if a man were to see a divided flame burning on three torches (and we will suppose that the cause of the third light is the first flame, kindling the end torch by transmission through the middle one), and were to maintain that the heat in the first exceeded that of the others; that that next it showed a variation from it in the direction of the less; and that the third could not be called fire at all, though it burnt and shone just like fire, and did everything that fire does. But if there is really no hindrance to the third torch being fire, though it has been kindled from a previous flame, what is the philosophy of these men, who profanely think that they can slight the dignity of the Holy Spirit because He is named by the Divine lips after the Father and the Son?{63} P.G. 45:1308AB.
For St. Gregory, the Father is the first torch, Who, through and with the second torch (the Son), communicates fire (the divine essence) to kindle the third torch, the Holy Spirit.{64}
{64} Jugie, De processione, 155.
In Sermon 3 on the Lord's Prayer,{65} St. Gregory is much more explicit:
For both the Son came forth from the Father, as the Scripture says, and the Spirit proceeds from God and from the Father. But just as being without cause pertains to the Father alone, and cannot be made to agree with the Son and the Spirit, so also, conversely, being from a cause, which is peculiar to the Son and the Spirit, is not of such a nature as to be contemplated in the Father. Now, as it is common to the Son and the Spirit to exist in a not-ungenerated way, in order that no confusion arise as to the underlying subject, one must again seek out the unconfused difference in their properties, so that both what is common may be preserved, and what is proper to each may not be confused. For the one is called by Holy Scripture "the Only-Begotten Son of the Father," and the word leaves His property at that; but the Spirit both is said to be from the Father, and is further testified to be from the Son. For, it says, "if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His" [Romans 8:9]. Therefore the Spirit, Who is from God, is also the Spirit of Christ; but the Son, Who is from God, neither is nor is said to be "of the Spirit," nor does this relative order become reversed.{65} Johannes F. Callahan, ed. Gregorii Nysseni De oratione dominica; De beatitudinibus (Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1992), 42.
The hypostases of Son and the Holy Spirit eternally exist in a caused manner. The hypostatic property of the Son is that He is the only hypostasis to have His existence from the Father by being generated, while it is the hypostatic property of the Holy Spirit to have His existence from the Father and the Son. The best manuscripts say "from the Son" and not "of the Son;" e.g., the seventh century Vatican 2066 discovered by Cardinal Angelo Mai (†1854).{66}
{66} Jugie, De processione, 160-161.
Finally, the words of St. Gregory of Nyssa in his first book Against Eunomius{67} leave no room for doubt:
as the Son is bound to the Father, and, while deriving existence from Him, is not substantially after Him, so again the Holy Spirit is in touch with the Only-begotten, Who is conceived of as before the Spirit's subsistence only in the theoretical light of a cause. Extensions in time find no admittance in the Eternal Life; so that, when we have removed the thought of cause, the Holy Trinity in no single way exhibits discord with itself.{67} P.G. 45:464BC.
Here he unambiguously confesses that there is a relation of origin between the Son and the Holy Spirit, i.e., that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son in the sense of "deriving existence from Him," according to Fr. Jugie.{68}
{68} Jugie, De processione, 158.
Even though St. Basil the Great emphasizes that the hypostatic properties are unique and incommunicable, he expressly teaches that the Father and the Son spirate the Holy Spirit in Against Eunomius 3:1; the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son is no prejudice to the clear distinction of the hypostatic properties. Strong internal and external evidence shows the disputed passage to be genuine.
Although St. Gregory the Theologian puts great emphasis on the monarchy of the Father, his vague allusion to the Holy Spirit's dependence on the Son in the Trinitarian τάξις, his analogy of the Trinity as sun-ray-light, and his teaching that the Holy Spirit is the mean between the Father and Son all imply not merely that the Holy Spirit is eternally energetically manifested through the Son, but that He has His being from the Father and the Son. Filioque becomes necessary to distinguish the persons of the Holy Spirit and the Son when we give just consideration to the holy archbishop's axiom that the persons are distinguished from each other in their relations of origin to one another. His teaching that the Father is ἅναρχος, the Son is ἀρχὴ, and the Holy Spirit is τὸ µετὰ τῆς ἀρχῆς, implies that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son. Finally, his statement that the Holy Spirit is "composed of both" the Father and the Son means that the Father and the Son spirate the Holy Spirit.
St. Gregory of Nyssa expressly teaches that the Holy Spirit is from the Father and the Son on the level of hypostasis. For the holy bishop, existing in an ungenerated way does not include the idea of being the sole spirator of the Holy Spirit. The Son's mediation in the hypostatic procession of the Holy Spirit, which is necessary to distinguish the Holy Spirit from the person of the Son, consists in, as the saint's analogy to the flame and torches reveals, the Son cooperating with the Father in spirating the Holy Spirit as from one principle.
Whatever one thinks of the pneumatological statements of Eastern Fathers like St. Athanasius the Great of Alexandria,{69} St. Epiphanius of Salamis,{70} and St. Cyril of Alexandria,{71} there can be no doubt that the Latin Fathers, from the time of Bishop St. Hilary of Poitiers,{72} unanimously teach Filioque.{73} They include St. Ambrose the Great of Milan,{74} St. Augustine the Great of Hippo,{75} Pope St. Leo I the Great of Rome,{76} Pope St. Hormisdas of Rome,{77} the martyred philosopher St. Boethius,{78} Pope St. Gregory I the Great of Rome,{79} and St. Isidore of Seville.{80} All the God-bearing Latin Fathers were, like the holy Cappadocian Fathers, inspired by the one Spirit of Truth; how could the Cappadocians and the Latins have held mutually exclusive views on the procession of the Holy Spirit?
{69} This great pillar of the Church saw no contradiction between affirming that the Father is "the sole unbegotten and sole fount of divinity" (P.G. 28:97BC) and declaring,
"Whatever the Spirit has, He has from the Word" (Against the Arians 3:25:24 in P.G. 26:376A) and "jointly with the Father, the Son is indeed the source of the Holy Spirit" (On the Incarnation of the Word Against the Arians 9 in P.G. 26:1000A).

The music discovery service We Are Hunted has announcedthat it's joining Twitter. The news hit almost at the same moment that American Idol host Ryan Seacrest tweeted about "playing with @twitter's new music app."
Together, those two items should open new marketing opportunities for artists to be found and connect with fans on Twitter.
In a follow-up, Seacrest said that the Twitter music app "shows what artists are trending" and "also has up and coming artists."
In its announcement, We Are Hunted only hints at what's in store as it joins Twitter:
While we are shutting down wearehunted.com, we will continue to create services that will delight you, as part of the Twitter team.
There's no question that Twitter and music go well together. Artists turn to Twitter first to connect with fans, and people share and discover new songs and albums every day. We can't wait to share what we've been working on at Twitter.
Indeed, Twitter has become a marketing tool for musicians all around the world. Earlier this year, Twitter detailed the deep connection between its users and the music industry:
- "50% of active users follow at least one musician"
- "the top 4 most-followed people are musicians"
- "music is the second-most-discussed topic on Twitter in the U.S."
With a music discovery service joining the fold and a music app on the way, look for numbers like those to increase as musicians of all sizes and popularity add Twitter into their marketing efforts, or increase the marketing they're already doing.

This is a group dedicated to the hardest games this generation, the Souls series.
yeah they pretty much fixed all the current glitches/exploits, and I won't have to deal with everyone spamming pyro spells as much
I wish they would fix Wrath of God abusers though. And it would be nice if they added a friend invite option
I don't see a friend invite patch for at least another 3-4 months. Although I do predict it will be implemented eventually.
That's up to Namco, not From Software, so it's probably a fore-casted 99% no

Lifetime returns to its "woman in peril" formula with the over-the-top drama "Fugitive at 17" (7 p.m. Saturday). Marie Avgeropoulos ("50/50") plays spunky teenage hacker Holly Hamilton. She's pert, pretty and can cobble together a super-laptop from spare parts and hack into any institution's mainframe. It's just too bad that her pal, Blake (Cindel Chartrand), drags her to an illegal rave. On a school night, no less.
You don't need to be an expert in Lifetime movies to know that nothing good can come of this. Blond Blake catches the eye of a pervy party promoter (Casper Van Dien). Instead of rejecting his advances (or noticing the fact that he's old enough to be her dad), she falls hard for him. Particularly after he slips her a date-rape drug.
Blake has a bad reaction to the drug and dies on the spot. Holly tries to save her but is savaged and drugged by Blake's killer. She's later arrested for being underage at the scene of an illegal party and crime, shipped off to jail, then sprung in a violent jail break (perpetrated on behalf of some genuinely bad teens). She becomes a fugitive from justice and then tries to find the creep who killed her friend, all while trying to stay in touch with her beloved bedridden grandmother. Holly's hacking skills loom large in this harrowing tale, which is so far-fetched it often crosses into high camp.
Just two weeks ago, Van Dien's "Starship Troopers" co-star, Denise Richards, played a teen's worried mom in Lifetime's "Blue Lagoon" remake. Van Dien, her contemporary, still gets to play the guy who appeals to teenagers. Where's the justice in that?
Saturday's other highlights
l Scheduled U.S. Olympic Trials (NBC) include Swimming (7 p.m.) and Track and Field (8 p.m.).
l Bad kitties abound on "My Cat From Hell" (7 p.m., Animal Planet), followed by "Bad Dog!" (8 p.m.).
Cult choice
A confused comedy director (Joel McCrea) sets out of make a serious film (called "O Brother, Where Art Thou?") in director Preston Sturges' 1941 comedy "Sullivan's Travels" (7 p.m. Saturday, TCM).
Saturday series
Aid for a Kansas farmhouse on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" (7 p.m., ABC) ... Gunfire gets in the way of a night out on "CSI: NY" (7 p.m., CBS) ... A dead debutante debuts on "Blue Bloods" (8 p.m., CBS) ... A corpse found in the mayor's limo has political repercussions on "Castle" (9 p.m., ABC).

The Bright Blue Sky
Join Date: Dec 2010

Divided Infinity was written as a game script originally, which is what it was always meant to be. I started writing this story 5 months ago and finished recently, the story... is it's soul, I can promise everyone who plays it to experience and original story free of dragons and other common clichés.
2006, High school life... so many worries, girls, jobs, grades, reputation, bullies... Most people go to bed and wake up feeling like a new man. Sullan Miller goes to sleep and does wake up a new man... he awakens in a strange country on a bloody battlefield apparently in a Chemical War. Sullan hated wars, hated death, why... why was he a soldier murdering men?... unless he wasn't himself... unless it was just a bad dream that he would wake up again from, unless it was forced?... dead bodies all around... blood flows to your feet. The story begins...
Sullan Miller The Lost Crow
Sullan is a 15 year old boy attending highschool with his friends, socially awkward with anyone but his three close friends, Sullan chooses to think rather then talk most of the time. He lives alone with his surgeon father who is usually never home. Sullan has strong views of anti-war and anti-murder almost unrealistic ones, he usually has his head in the clouds dreaming of new things.
Gerone Crator The Resolved Dragon
Gerone is a 16 year old student who is Sullan's best friend, Gerone lives alone because his only sister was killed in a robbery,
Gerone is loud, blunt, and obnoxious... opposites attract, this is just the case with Gerone and Sullan's friendship they share almost opposite views on life as a whole yet they still remain as close as possible...while Sullan is a bully magnet, Gerone is a bully...crusher....
So it works out.
Shella Sear The Blue Jay That Lost It's Wings
Shella is a 16 year old girl who works at a local Cafe full time with her younger brotherJohn, She does not attend school because she has to work full time to support John on her own, Shella knows quite well that she works her ass off so she's naturally a bit snobby,
when she wants something... she usually doesn't give up until she gets it, She has no particular world views of her own, she doesn't really care honestly. What she hates the most is being used or manipulated by people... when she is... she tends to respond violently.
Nima Longshore The Peaceful Deer
Nima, 15 year old girl that is friends with Sullan and Gerone, She is kind and happy, even in the toughest times she tries to just smile through it. She also believes that murder and war is wrong but is more realistic then Sullan and knows sometimes... it's required.
She loves normal things like karaoke, cooking, and babysitting, She shares a strong love for children and chosses to keep a childlike innocence most of the time, But Nima IS a teenager after all... prone to bad choices and mistakes... she has dated some... questionable guys.
The music in D.I. Is completely original with various vocal songs sung just for this game, features music by Diana Kantor, and SomeOneLikeMe. the non vocal music consists of soft piano for story scenes, and fast pased rock for battles.
While not music itself it is AUDIO so...
D.I. is completely voice acted, over seven hours of voice acting has been recorded for this project, all pro quality at that.
afer showing the script to some great freelance voice actors all of the people I scouted agreed to do it, some auditioned for the project.
expect a fully voiced storyline upon release.
The game is broken into Seven Chapters, none being a fixed legnth, I chose to end the chapter and key moments in the story rather then force chapters of fixed length, The story is the main aspect of this game and it will not be weak in the least,
You are able to make various choices that affect key points to the story, not VERY many, but enough, there are two separate ending chapters depending on your choices, EACH of the endings has it's out unique Epilogue mode, which has normal RPG gameplay and equal story development this section is roughly four hours long, so as a whole the game will have about 12 hours of gameplay.
Lots of love and care is being put into this project to make it shine, I believe RPG maker is just a program with bounderies that can be broken, it's just aa tool that can create greatness, that is my goal.
Here are a few screenshots of the game running.

Social Work
Welcome to Social Work
The primary mission of the Social Work program is to train generalist social work professionals capable of providing culturally competent services within diverse, multicultural communities. Through all its activities, the program seeks to foster the fulfillment of human potential, promote social and economic justice, and contribute to the development of a social culture that respects the dignity and worth of all members of society. This mission includes helping students develop and strengthen their sense of social responsibility, appreciation for diversity, understanding of the realities of discrimination and oppression, and knowledge of core social work values, ethics, and skills.
Accreditation Status of the Bachelor of Social Work Program at UT Permian Basin
The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program is fully accredited through CSWE, having received Initial Accreditation in June, 2007. Graduates admitted while the program was in Candidacy are considered by CSWE and state law to have completed an accredited social work program and are therefore eligible to be licensed as a social worker in Texas.
All CSWE accredited programs measure and report student learning outcomes.
What does Accreditation mean?
Professional standards in social work education are specified by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). BSW programs must demonstrate their compliance with rigorous academic standards in order to attain national accreditation from CSWE. Such accreditation assures that programs have undergone a comprehensive, criterion-based external review and been endorsed by a national accrediting organization.
The Social Work Profession
Social work is a very practical profession, and social workers provide realistic, compassionate, and ethical leadership in helping people and communities cope with various social challenges. Upon graduation, baccalaureate social workers are ready to function in professional human service positions and have the pleasure of helping people lead better and more satisfying lives. Social workers also work to improve society by pointing out overlooked problems, identifying unmet needs, and helping communities learn how to respond better to the needs of their population. http://MastersinSocialwork.net/Directory
Social workers are employed in a wide variety of public and private work settings, including:
- Hospitals
- Schools (elementary and secondary)
- Family service agencies
- Criminal justice agencies
- Nursing homes
- Mental retardation services
- Child welfare agencies
- Hospices
- Domestic violence programs
- Public health agencies
- Child/adult day care centers
- Residential treatment programs
- Police and sheriff's departments
- Homeless shelters
This website can give you more information on the variety of careers in social work.
To prepare them for work in such diverse settings, BSW students receive training in many areas, such as:
- Interviewing
- Assessment
- Case management
- Crisis intervention
- Program evaluation
- Community outreach
- Advocacy
- Problem solving
How is the Bachelor in Social Work (BSW) different from degrees in other majors?
Most of the helping professions require at least a master's degree before one can practice. In social work, however, the bachelor's degree is considered a professional degree. BSW students have chosen to dedicate their college experience to preparing for a professional career, and therefore receive an intensive education focused on the particular work and principles relevant to social work. Other liberal arts degrees, such as sociology and psychology, offer broad-based, generalized preparation for many different careers, while the BSW provides concentrated training for working with individuals, families, groups, and communities. For information about licensing requirements in your state click here.
Field Placement
An essential component of the BSW program is a 480-hour field placement in a social service agency, where the student gains on-the-job experience as a professional social worker while receiving formal supervision from
experienced agency personnel.
Field placement offers students the opportunity to integrate what they have learned in the classroom with real-world job functions, and to strengthen and refine their professional skills within a supervised and supportive context. Other undergraduate field experiences generally do not include formal, professional supervision or allow students to perform professional tasks.
Admission Requirements
Students may declare the Pre-Social Work (PSWK) major at any time after being admitted to the University. During this phase, students complete the prerequisites required for application to the professional program, which typically occurs during the junior year.
Specific admission requirements are detailed on the BSW Degree Plan and in the BSW Student Handbook. Application materials may be obtained from the Social Science Department office.

McDonald's Suggests Singing Away the Stress of Not Earning Enough Money
Low Pay Is Not Okay, the campaign to increase wages for fast food workers, previously pointed out the ridiculousness of the McBudget and the McResources hotline telling workers to sign up for welfare benefits. Today, the campaign has a video out showing other kinds of "advice" listed on the employee McResources site. These tips include:
• "Sing away stress: singing along to favorite songs can lower your blood pressure"
• "Break it up: breaking food into pieces often results in eating less and still feeling full"
• "Quit complaining: stress hormone levels rise by 15% after 10 minutes of complaining"
The "break it up" advice is especially depressing.

ANTONIO Crolla, a well-known Edinburgh restaurateur and a popular member of the Scottish-Italian community, has died, aged 82.
"Tony" was born in Newhaven, his parents Paolo and Loretta Crolla having immigrated from the remote village of Fontitune outside Picinisco in the Apennine mountains between Rome and Naples
Paolo came to Scotland to help out relatives who had started a food shop in Newhaven, at the foot of the Brae. After Tony was born, the family moved to the Lawnmarket before business success enabled them to get a two-storey house on George IV Bridge.
Young Tony went to St Patrick's High School and Holy Cross Secondary, where his biggest memory, after Italy aligned itself with Hitler, was seeing his father hauled off to internment on the Isle of Man as an "enemy alien".
In the heat of the war, the family shop, because it was owned by an Italian, was vandalised – although Tony recalled that most locals were not only apologetic and embarrassed, but supportive.
With the war over, he did his own National Service with the RAF, serving at the Seletar airbase in Singapore in 1948-49. By then, of course, his dad had been freed and was more determined than ever to run a successful and customer-friendly business.
The first family shop – selling mainly fish and chips, and ice cream – was in what is now the colourful office building of the Edinburgh Fringe at 180 High Street.
In 1956, Tony married Dorothy Booth from Leith. They had met at the Portobello open-air swimming pool – he had become a keen diver and water polo player during his National Service.
The Crolla family moved their business a few doors along to 148 High Street, first calling the business the New Restaurant and later the Clamshell, a name chosen by Dorothy.
It is still owned by the family but is now rented out. Tony spent the rest of his working life there until retirement. He was a keen golfer, a member of Prestonfield for some time, but latterly playing mostly on the municipal courses around Edinburgh. He was also a brown belt in karate and a mean opponent at badminton and squash.
He was a familiar face at Scottish-Italian functions in Edinburgh. He also became fluent in Spanish and learned more than passable French, not least to enhance his love of good food and wine.
Otherwise, he loved dancing the tango with Dorothy, making furniture, doing crosswords, watching Westerns, or laughing to Laurel and Hardy, Dave Allen or Tommy Cooper. For crying, he relied on going to Easter Road to watch Hibs.
Antonio Crolla died at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. He is survived by his wife Dorothy, sons Guido, Nicholas and Dominic, and grandchildren Lewis, Max, Aurea, Joseph, Mia and Bella.

I definitely believed it to be a true story, so great description! I think it is an interesting that many people believe their first kiss was 'wasted'. It was nice to see it written about! (:
| WideEyedInnocence chapter 1 . 10/7/2011
You write well, but I found the story a little..shallow? This is just my opinion. I don't like the whole "you're hot so let's kiss" type thing. I like more romance lol

January 10, 2017 Cost Containment Measures from Pharma Companies to Drive the Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing market. The global market for Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing is projected to reach US$25.3 billion by 2022, driven by the growing focus on cost containment as pharmaceutical companies face shrinking profit margins as a result of growing competition from generics and biosimilars, patent expiry of blockbuster drugs and the ensuing aggravation of pricing pressures and the competitive need to increase time-to-market through resource management.
Dynamics in the pharmaceutical industry have altered significantly over the years, driven by myriad factors, which make pharma outsourcing a necessity. Driven by multitude of competitive forces, the pharmaceutical industry is under extreme pressure to improve productivity and reduce cost of drug discovery research and drug production. CMOs/CDMOs in this regard are growing in prominence as increasingly important elements in the pharma value chain. Fewer blockbuster drugs, increasing generic incursion, growing pricing pressures, rising cost of drug development, growing stringency in regulations, and the increasing need for advanced production technologies among others have considerably strained financial resources of pharmaceutical companies, pushing cost containment measures to the fore. Pharmaceutical contract manufacturing (PCM) offers cost-effective means of producing pharmaceutical products, as it eliminates the need for pharmaceutical companies to invest in facilities, labor, and new manufacturing technologies.
Contract manufacturing also provides the added benefit of scalable production capacity, technical resource expansion, geographical reach and risk reduction during demand fluctuations.
Increasing number of specialized and orphan drugs are leading to fewer high-volume drugs, in turn resulting in small batch productions and small-volume contracts for contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs). Another trend in the market is the growing complexity of new drugs under development, particularly those focusing on using high potency API (HPAPIS) and addressing poor water solubility of drugs, which is compelling CMOs to acquire additional expertise and technological capabilities to remain relevant in the business and achieve growth. With pharma companies increasingly leaning towards contracting partners with more comprehensive service offerings, CMOs are espousing vertical integration by acquiring upstream research and development capabilities. In the biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing space, the market is expected to witness higher prospects for Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) due to current capacity constraints in the pharmaceutical industry. At the technology level, the market is witnessing increasing shift towards perfusion cell culture, away from fed-batch processes, due to inherent benefits of higher efficiency and cost reduction.
As stated by the new market research report on Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing, the United States represents the largest market worldwide supported by aggressive healthcare reforms, migration to value based healthcare, growing pricing pressures triggered by replacement of branded drugs with generics, increasing market for biologicals, and emergence of biosimilars. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 8.2% through the analysis period led by the emergence of low cost Asian countries with huge talent pool as hubs for outsourced services. Solid Dosage Forms represents the largest market segment by dosage form, supported by the development of several advanced new chemical entities and growing market for generic drugs. The plethora of biologics under development, migration from vials to flexible-bag and pre-filled syringes systems, and changing regulations are expected to drive demand for injectables contract manufacturing with sterile injectables forecast to witness the strongest potential for future growth.
Major players covered in the report include Aenova Group, Ajinomoto Althea, Inc., Albany Molecular Research Inc., Alcami Corporation, Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, Baxter International, Inc., Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc., Cobra Biologics Holding AB, CordenPharma International, Dishman Group, DPx Holdings B.V., Fareva Group, Famar Health Care Services, Hospira, Inc., Jubilant Life Sciences Limited, Kemwell Biopharma Pvt. Ltd., Lonza Group Ltd., LTS Lohmann Therapie-Systeme AG, NextPharma Technologies Holding Ltd., Nipro Pharma Corporation, Recipharm AB and Vetter Pharma International GmbH among others.
The research report titled Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing: A Global Strategic Business Report announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends, issues, drivers, mergers, acquisitions and other strategic industry activities of global companies. The report provides market estimates and projections for Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing consumption in terms thousand cubic meters for all major geographic markets such as United States, Canada, Japan, Europe (France, Germany, Italy, UK, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific and Rest of World. Dosage forms analyzed in the report include Injectables, Solid Dosage Forms and Liquid & Semi-solid Dosage Forms.

Owing to the heated competition among cosmetics firms, with their endless promotions, the masterminds of these events are having to get more and more creative.
Japanese beauty brand SK-II launched its luxury beauty line LXP on Tuesday at a private venue in Duddell Street, Central, and the event had a bit of everything hip.
Three celebrity artists, oil painter Margaret Yau, milliner Jaycow and fashion designer Vivian Luk, were booked to create a piece inspired by the rose - one of the product line's key ingredients. About 30 socialites were invited to an exclusive preview of the new products.
To echo the rose theme - more than 1,000 roses were used to decorate the backdrop - a booth for rose arrangements was set up. Each guest got a hand rub with the rosy cream while sipping pink bubbly.
Truly la vie en rose.
