These can only be run once a week correct? I can't run all these lists the same day correct?
Thank you,
You can run any combination of queries to a limit of 5 per day. Although don't expect them to run all the time or on time. My general approach is only to request queries when I need them to limit the load on the servers which tend to be overloaded.

If you schedule any PQ to run every day, it is quite likely that some days it will not run and many days that it will run "late".
If you schedule a specific PQ once a week, it will usually run in the wee hours of the morning (always after midnight pacific time).
If you:
create a brand new PQ
or create a copy of an existing PQ
or pick an existing PQ that hasn't run for a week or more
and schedule it to run on the current day of the week, it will usually run immediately.

Once you have these PQs can they be uploaded onto a SD card to be put into my GPSr (Garmin Colorado 300), if so what size card should I buy if this can be done?

My query of 500 caches is about 650kb in size so I don't think you'll have much trouble fitting them on any card that is currently available.

I noticed that my pocket query list wasn't as efficient as it could be, so I updated the dates. For the new folks reading this for the first time, this will help you to run an efficient group of Pocket Queries that will provide GPX or LOC files for all of the Manitoba caches. This is especially useful if you use an offline database such as GSAK or Cacheberry.
PQ1 Feb/5/2001 to Jun/24/2006 - 497 results
PQ2 Jun/25/2006 to Jun/21/2007 - 499 results
PQ3 Jun/22/2007 to May/17/2008 - 489 results
PQ4 May/18/2008 to Sept/27/2008 - 491 results
PQ5 Sept/28/2008 to Jun/22/2009 - 493 results
PQ6 Jun/23/2009 to Dec/31/2010 - 109 results
Just select the following when you run your query:
Name the query appropriately -see below.
Days to Generate: Leave blank for now.
How often the query runs: uncheck day of the week...
500 Caches
Any type
Any Container
***Several fields left alone. No boxes checked in the "That" or "And" sections.***
Select Manitoba in the State/Province list
None Selected for From Origin
Then Placed during should contain the ranges above. One range for each query.
When I named the query at the top of the list, I use a numeric prefix and then the date range: 1 - 2/5/2001 - 6/24/2006. That way they don't get all mixed up in your Pocket Query list.
Hope that helps somebody.
I haven't updated these in a long time. Since I did, I thought I might as well post a new set of dates here for others to use:
PQ1 Feb/5/2001 to Apr/12/2008 - 994 results
PQ2 Apr/13/2008 to Oct/20/2009 - 990 results
PQ3 Oct/21/2009 to Feb/25/2011 - 990 results
PQ4 Feb/26/2011 to Mar/5/2012 - 995 results
PQ5 Mar/6/2012 to Sept/2/2012 - 887 results
PQ6 Sept/3/2012 to Apr/1/2013 - 402 results

Just a note that with GSAK v8, you can run a "status check" (check for disabled/archived status) on each cache in your database. This means that you no longer have to run a pocket query to keep the old caches up to date.
You also have the ability to do a "refresh" (get the most recent cache information from geocaching.com including up to 30 most recent logs) on up to 6000 caches per day.

Good tip - I knew GSAK had more to offer than what I use it for! I need to spend more time checking out its features.
I know GSAK will access PQs directly so you don't have to download them anymore. But you still have to set up PQs at geocaching.com to get new caches in your database, right? Or old ones if you've never loaded them before? You can't set up new PQs in GSAK, can you?

No GSAK can't create PQs for you, it can only download existing PQs that you have already run.
It does have the ability to search for caches around a given radius, but when I've used that feature, it's never seemed to work very well. PQs are the way to go.

The method I use, since geocaching.com can now give 1000 caches in a PQ, is I made a 'cache along a route' and just created a path that follows the most common places I'll go in the city, made the 'width' of the path work out well, and use that as my weekly PQ. If I'm planning on caching anywhere that's beyond that, I'll just quickly whip up a custom PQ for it.

I just updated my PQs again, since older caches tend to become archived, and I thought I'd post the dates in case any one else would like to use them:
PQ From To Count (as of 2013/08/07)
-- ---------- ---------- ------------------------
1 Feb 05, 2001 May 10, 2008 999
2 May 11, 2008 Jan 09, 2010 999
3 Jan 10, 2010 Jul 03, 2011 999

5 May 29, 2012 Jan 17, 2013 996
6 Jan 18, 2013 present (Aug 7) 987
It looks like we'll be up to 7 PQs for Manitoba very shortly...

"Daddy, will I see Niall again?" Ciara asked her father, still looking at the place where the little boy had stood a few seconds ago. "I'm sorry Ciara; I'm afraid you won't see Niall ever again..." She kept repeating this sentence in her head; and even after all those years that went by, Ciara still keeps hoping that her dad was wrong.

text: hadoop.common.configuration.version 0.23.0 version of this configuration file hadoop.tmp.dir /tmp/hadoop-${user.name} A base for other temporary directories. io.native.lib.available true Should native hadoop libraries, if present, be used. hadoop.http.filter.initializers org.apache.hadoop.http.lib.StaticUserWebFilter A comma separated list of class names. Each class in the list must extend org.apache.hadoop.http.FilterInitializer. The corresponding Filter will be initialized. Then, the Filter will be applied to all user facing jsp and servlet web pages. The ordering of the list defines the ordering of the filters. hadoop.security.authorization false Is service-level authorization enabled? hadoop.security.authentication simple Possible values are simple (no authentication), and kerberos hadoop.security.group.mapping org.apache.hadoop.security.ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping Class for user to group mapping (get groups for a given user) for ACL hadoop.security.groups.cache.secs 300 This is the config controlling the validity of the entries in the cache containing the user->group mapping. When this duration has expired, then the implementation of the group mapping provider is invoked to get the groups of the user and then cached back. hadoop.security.service.user.name.key For those cases where the same RPC protocol is implemented by multiple servers, this configuration is required for specifying the principal name to use for the service when the client wishes to make an RPC call. hadoop.rpc.protection authentication This field sets the quality of protection for secured sasl connections. Possible values are authentication, integrity and privacy. authentication means authentication only and no integrity or privacy; integrity implies authentication and integrity are enabled; and privacy implies all of authentication, integrity and privacy are enabled. hadoop.work.around.non.threadsafe.getpwuid false Some operating systems or authentication modules are known to have broken implementations of getpwuid_r and getpwgid_r, such that these calls are not thread-safe. Symptoms of this problem include JVM crashes with a stack trace inside these functions. If your system exhibits this issue, enable this configuration parameter to include a lock around the calls as a workaround. An incomplete list of some systems known to have this issue is available at http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/KnownBrokenPwuidImplementations hadoop.kerberos.kinit.command kinit Used to periodically renew Kerberos credentials when provided to Hadoop. The default setting assumes that kinit is in the PATH of users running the Hadoop client. Change this to the absolute path to kinit if this is not the case. io.file.buffer.size 4096 The size of buffer for use in sequence files. The size of this buffer should probably be a multiple of hardware page size (4096 on Intel x86), and it determines how much data is buffered during read and write operations. io.bytes.per.checksum 512 The number of bytes per checksum. Must not be larger than io.file.buffer.size. io.skip.checksum.errors false If true, when a checksum error is encountered while reading a sequence file, entries are skipped, instead of throwing an exception. io.compression.codecs org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.DefaultCodec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.BZip2Codec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.DeflateCodec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.SnappyCodec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.Lz4Codec A list of the compression codec classes that can be used for compression/decompression. io.compression.codec.bzip2.library system-native The native-code library to be used for compression and decompression by the bzip2 codec. This library could be specified either by by name or the full pathname. In the former case, the library is located by the dynamic linker, usually searching the directories specified in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The value of "system-native" indicates that the default system library should be used. To indicate that the algorithm should operate entirely in Java, specify "java-builtin". io.serializations org.apache.hadoop.io.serializer.WritableSerialization,org.apache.hadoop.io.serializer.avro.AvroSpecificSerialization,org.apache.hadoop.io.serializer.avro.AvroReflectSerialization A list of serialization classes that can be used for obtaining serializers and deserializers. io.seqfile.local.dir ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/io/local The local directory where sequence file stores intermediate data files during merge. May be a comma-separated list of directories on different devices in order to spread disk i/o. Directories that do not exist are ignored. io.map.index.skip 0 Number of index entries to skip between each entry. Zero by default. Setting this to values larger than zero can facilitate opening large MapFiles using less memory. io.map.index.interval 128 MapFile consist of two files - data file (tuples) and index file (keys). For every io.map.index.interval records written in the data file, an entry (record-key, data-file-position) is written in the index file. This is to allow for doing binary search later within the index file to look up records by their keys and get their closest positions in the data file. fs.defaultFS file:/// The name of the default file system. A URI whose scheme and authority determine the FileSystem implementation. The uri's scheme determines the config property (fs.SCHEME.impl) naming the FileSystem implementation class. The uri's authority is used to determine the host, port, etc. for a filesystem. fs.default.name file:/// Deprecated. Use (fs.defaultFS) property instead fs.trash.interval 0 Number of minutes after which the checkpoint gets deleted. If zero, the trash feature is disabled. fs.trash.checkpoint.interval 0 Number of minutes between trash checkpoints. Should be smaller or equal to fs.trash.interval. Every time the checkpointer runs it creates a new checkpoint out of current and removes checkpoints created more than fs.trash.interval minutes ago. fs.file.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.LocalFileSystem The FileSystem for file: uris. fs.hdfs.impl org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem The FileSystem for hdfs: uris. fs.viewfs.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.viewfs.ViewFileSystem The FileSystem for view file system for viewfs: uris (ie client side mount table:). fs.AbstractFileSystem.file.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.local.LocalFs The AbstractFileSystem for file: uris. fs.AbstractFileSystem.har.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.HarFs The AbstractFileSystem for har: uris. fs.AbstractFileSystem.hdfs.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.Hdfs The FileSystem for hdfs: uris. fs.AbstractFileSystem.viewfs.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.viewfs.ViewFs The AbstractFileSystem for view file system for viewfs: uris (ie client side mount table:). fs.s3.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3.S3FileSystem The FileSystem for s3: uris. fs.s3n.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3native.NativeS3FileSystem The FileSystem for s3n: (Native S3) uris. fs.kfs.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.kfs.KosmosFileSystem The FileSystem for kfs: uris. fs.hftp.impl org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.HftpFileSystem fs.hsftp.impl org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.HsftpFileSystem fs.webhdfs.impl org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.web.WebHdfsFileSystem fs.ftp.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.ftp.FTPFileSystem The FileSystem for ftp: uris. fs.ftp.host 0.0.0.0 FTP filesystem connects to this server fs.ftp.host.port 21 FTP filesystem connects to fs.ftp.host on this port fs.har.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.HarFileSystem The filesystem for Hadoop archives. fs.har.impl.disable.cache true Don't cache 'har' filesystem instances. fs.df.interval 60000 Disk usage statistics refresh interval in msec. fs.s3.block.size 67108864 Block size to use when writing files to S3. fs.s3.buffer.dir ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/s3 Determines where on the local filesystem the S3 filesystem should store files before sending them to S3 (or after retrieving them from S3). fs.s3.maxRetries 4 The maximum number of retries for reading or writing files to S3, before we signal failure to the application. fs.s3.sleepTimeSeconds 10 The number of seconds to sleep between each S3 retry. fs.automatic.close true By default, FileSystem instances are automatically closed at program exit using a JVM shutdown hook. Setting this property to false disables this behavior. This is an advanced option that should only be used by server applications requiring a more carefully orchestrated shutdown sequence. fs.s3n.block.size 67108864 Block size to use when reading files using the native S3 filesystem (s3n: URIs). io.seqfile.compress.blocksize 1000000 The minimum block size for compression in block compressed SequenceFiles. io.seqfile.lazydecompress true Should values of block-compressed SequenceFiles be decompressed only when necessary. io.seqfile.sorter.recordlimit 1000000 The limit on number of records to be kept in memory in a spill in SequenceFiles.Sorter io.mapfile.bloom.size 1048576 The size of BloomFilter-s used in BloomMapFile. Each time this many keys is appended the next BloomFilter will be created (inside a DynamicBloomFilter). Larger values minimize the number of filters, which slightly increases the performance, but may waste too much space if the total number of keys is usually much smaller than this number. io.mapfile.bloom.error.rate 0.005 The rate of false positives in BloomFilter-s used in BloomMapFile. As this value decreases, the size of BloomFilter-s increases exponentially. This value is the probability of encountering false positives (default is 0.5%). hadoop.util.hash.type murmur The default implementation of Hash. Currently this can take one of the two values: 'murmur' to select MurmurHash and 'jenkins' to select JenkinsHash. ipc.client.idlethreshold 4000 Defines the threshold number of connections after which connections will be inspected for idleness. ipc.client.kill.max 10 Defines the maximum number of clients to disconnect in one go. ipc.client.connection.maxidletime 10000 The maximum time in msec after which a client will bring down the connection to the server. ipc.client.connect.max.retries 10 Indicates the number of retries a client will make to establish a server connection. ipc.server.listen.queue.size 128 Indicates the length of the listen queue for servers accepting client connections. ipc.server.tcpnodelay false Turn on/off Nagle's algorithm for the TCP socket connection on the server. Setting to true disables the algorithm and may decrease latency with a cost of more/smaller packets. ipc.client.tcpnodelay false Turn on/off Nagle's algorithm for the TCP socket connection on the client. Setting to true disables the algorithm and may decrease latency with a cost of more/smaller packets. hadoop.rpc.socket.factory.class.default org.apache.hadoop.net.StandardSocketFactory Default SocketFactory to use. This parameter is expected to be formatted as "package.FactoryClassName". hadoop.rpc.socket.factory.class.ClientProtocol SocketFactory to use to connect to a DFS. If null or empty, use hadoop.rpc.socket.class.default. This socket factory is also used by DFSClient to create sockets to DataNodes. hadoop.socks.server Address (host:port) of the SOCKS server to be used by the SocksSocketFactory. net.topology.node.switch.mapping.impl org.apache.hadoop.net.ScriptBasedMapping The default implementation of the DNSToSwitchMapping. It invokes a script specified in net.topology.script.file.name to resolve node names. If the value for net.topology.script.file.name is not set, the default value of DEFAULT_RACK is returned for all node names. net.topology.script.file.name The script name that should be invoked to resolve DNS names to NetworkTopology names. Example: the script would take host.foo.bar as an argument, and return /rack1 as the output. net.topology.script.number.args 100 The max number of args that the script configured with net.topology.script.file.name should be run with. Each arg is an IP address. file.stream-buffer-size 4096 The size of buffer to stream files. The size of this buffer should probably be a multiple of hardware page size (4096 on Intel x86), and it determines how much data is buffered during read and write operations. file.bytes-per-checksum 512 The number of bytes per checksum. Must not be larger than file.stream-buffer-size file.client-write-packet-size 65536 Packet size for clients to write file.blocksize 67108864 Block size file.replication 1 Replication factor s3.stream-buffer-size 4096 The size of buffer to stream files. The size of this buffer should probably be a multiple of hardware page size (4096 on Intel x86), and it determines how much data is buffered during read and write operations. s3.bytes-per-checksum 512 The number of bytes per checksum. Must not be larger than s3.stream-buffer-size s3.client-write-packet-size 65536 Packet size for clients to write s3.blocksize 67108864 Block size s3.replication 3 Replication factor s3native.stream-buffer-size 4096 The size of buffer to stream files. The size of this buffer should probably be a multiple of hardware page size (4096 on Intel x86), and it determines how much data is buffered during read and write operations. s3native.bytes-per-checksum 512 The number of bytes per checksum. Must not be larger than s3native.stream-buffer-size s3native.client-write-packet-size 65536 Packet size for clients to write s3native.blocksize 67108864 Block size s3native.replication 3 Replication factor kfs.stream-buffer-size 4096 The size of buffer to stream files. The size of this buffer should probably be a multiple of hardware page size (4096 on Intel x86), and it determines how much data is buffered during read and write operations. kfs.bytes-per-checksum 512 The number of bytes per checksum.

Supported values are: simple | kerberos | #AUTHENTICATION_HANDLER_CLASSNAME# hadoop.http.authentication.token.validity 36000 Indicates how long (in seconds) an authentication token is valid before it has to be renewed. hadoop.http.authentication.signature.secret hadoop The signature secret for signing the authentication tokens. The same secret should be used for JT/NN/DN/TT configurations. hadoop.http.authentication.cookie.domain The domain to use for the HTTP cookie that stores the authentication token. In order to authentiation to work correctly across all Hadoop nodes web-consoles the domain must be correctly set. IMPORTANT: when using IP addresses, browsers ignore cookies with domain settings. For this setting to work properly all nodes in the cluster must be configured to generate URLs with hostname.domain names on it. hadoop.http.authentication.simple.anonymous.allowed true Indicates if anonymous requests are allowed when using 'simple' authentication. hadoop.http.authentication.kerberos.principal HTTP/localhost@LOCALHOST Indicates the Kerberos principal to be used for HTTP endpoint. The principal MUST start with 'HTTP/' as per Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO specification. hadoop.http.authentication.kerberos.keytab ${user.home}/hadoop.keytab Location of the keytab file with the credentials for the principal. Referring to the same keytab file Oozie uses for its Kerberos credentials for Hadoop. fs.permissions.umask-mode 022 The umask used when creating files and directories. Can be in octal or in symbolic. Examples are: "022" (octal for u=rwx,g=r-x,o=r-x in symbolic), or "u=rwx,g=rwx,o=" (symbolic for 007 in octal). ipc.client.fallback-to-simple-auth-allowed false When a client is configured to attempt a secure connection, but attempts to connect to an insecure server, that server may instruct the client to switch to SASL SIMPLE (unsecure) authentication. This setting controls whether or not the client will accept this instruction from the server. When false (the default), the client will not allow the fallback to SIMPLE authentication, and will abort the connection.

Ecuadorian Studies Have Impact on Wabash Menby Howard W. Hewitt • September 21, 2007 Share:
Poverty's impact, the hardship of practicing medicine, and learning and working in another language are just a few of the lessons Wabash men learned during the summer of 2007 in Ecuador.
Wabash's Ecuadorian Studies Program took 11 Wabash men to the South American country in 2007. The students made presentations Sept. 20 on their impressions and individual research. The students also posted to a blog while in South America.
"I gained a new respect and desire to learn," Tyler Dougherty '09 said. "After seeing the conditions in Ecuador, I've learned better than ever that I have such great professors, facilities, and need to make sure that I don't take them for granted."
Dougherty and Brian Maloney '09 studied Ecuador's agriculture, which focuses primarily on bananas. Their presentation compared that country's production to the much-more modern ways of U.S. producers.
Dougherty, who owns and runs an Apple Orchard in northern Indiana, found the stark comparisons interesting. But the impact of the country's poverty went even deeper. "You never really understand poverty until you see it first hand."
The program has been a staple in the College's on-going immersion learning experiences. The yearly trip to Ecuador has allowed the program to mature, said Co-Director Dan Rogers.
"We now have enough contacts in Ecuador that students can do almost anything they want to do," the Spanish professor said. "Most study abroad programs are about language and then culture. Ours is certainly about language and culture, but it can also include almost anything else that students and faculty are interested in – from agriculture to medicine, Amazon ecology to the politics of the petroleum industry, from religion to popular culture."
Rogers said pervious years' experience has helped him better prepare students to maximize the four-week visit. He created a ½-credit orientation course students take in the spring before the summer trip.
Andy Leshovsky '09 a pre-med student, was prepared for the trip but nothing could have prepared him adequately for his work in a jungle clinic. "I was immersed in the learning of all the workings of tropical medicine, but as that initial shock wore off and I became more accustomed to the environment, I found myself really wanting to make a difference in the lives of the so many unfortunate people living in the middle of the Amazon."
That's exactly the type of impact Wabash professors hope the Ecuadorian program makes on students.
"It gets students out of this isolated environment where they see the rest of the world only on television," Economics Professor Kay Widdows said. Widdows let one study group this year, her third. "It stretches them by putting them in a less comfortable environment.
"They are forced to experience new things – new food (guinea pig), new methods of transport. They become more confident in their abilities to get around in the world. All of the students I've taken to Ecuador want to go back."
Leshovsky would be quick to agree with Widdows' assessment. "Not only did I receive critical insight into health care in third world countries and make a noticeable difference in the lives of a few Ecuadorians, but I also was able to take home with me an unforgettable, rewarding experience I hope to be able to repeat in the future."
Ben Ladowski '09 was part of Widdows and Political Science Professor Melissa Butler's group. He showed short films detailing a street festival. John Funston '09, who transferred from Purdue's tourism school to Wabash, focused on eco-tourism in Ecuador.
The presentations give just a glimpse of what the experience is like. Andrew Chelton '09 made a video of the trip and loaded it onto the popular You Tube site. He showed the video during the presentations. You can see it here.
Chelton studied education in Ecuador and came away with a new appreciation for his own education. "I was able to get a feel of what it was like to live in Ecuador in both the city and in the jungle," he said. "Seeing all the problems that Ecuador faces and how incoherent their government can be, I remembered that I should never take my own way of life for granted."
Rogers believes the immersion experience is invaluable to the many students who have now participated. "You could spend a semester reading about (poverty and unemployment), but nothing can take the place of meeting and talking to kids who survive on the street," he said. "It's one thing to quote percentages that demonstrate the huge divide between the haves and have nots.
"It is quite another to watch a late model Porsche drive past a desperately impoverished indigenous family selling produce on street corners. Teaching and learning that includes only the theoretical, only the dispassionate and factual doesn't change lives. It's when we link that with the affective that people change habits, behaviors, and points of view."
And those visits create bonds which change people and create stronger bonds between faculty and staff.
"It breaks down the barriers between professors and students," Widdows said. "There is no greater leveler than everyone falling down in the mud. We all find ways to help each other out. Also a great bonding experience for the students as they share experiences that will be life-long memories – like jumping three stories off a waterfall and crossing a raging torrent on a makeshift bridge our guide made by chopping down a small palm tree with a machete."

ACTA Approval On Hold While EU Commission Asks EU Court Of Justice To Weigh In
from the this-could-be-interesting dept
In recent weeks, the ratification process of ACTA has triggered a Europe-wide debate on ACTA, the freedom of the internet and the importance of protecting Europe's Intellectual Property for our economies.This could get interesting. As we've noted in recent weeks, the EU Court of Justice has actually been pretty good lately in expressing concerns about overbroad copyright enforcement.
But let me be very clear: I share people's concern for these fundamental freedoms. I welcome that people have voiced their concerns so actively – especially over the freedom of the internet. And I also understand that there is uncertainty on what ACTA will really mean for these key issues at the end of the day.
So I believe that putting ACTA before the European Court of Justice is a needed step. This debate must be based upon facts and not upon the misinformation or rumour that has dominated social media sites and blogs in recent weeks.
Of course, other parts of De Gucht's statement are pretty questionable. He talks about how the EU Council "adopted ACTA unanimously" leaving out that they did so by hiding it in an agriculture and fisheries meeting. He talks about how ACTA "will not change anything in the European Union" but is merely about "getting other countries to adopt" stricter laws. However, some EU countries have already noted that they would have to change their laws to comply with ACTA.
Either way, it will be worth following the specifics of exactly what the EU Court of Justice is asked to review and how the process works.

Orioles prized left-hander Zach Britton won five of his first six starts, emerging as the team's biggest early-season success story and a legitimate American League Rookie of the Year candidate.
A stretch of one win over 10 starts certainly has a way of quieting such talk.
Britton allowed four earned runs in 5 2/3 innings Tuesday night and remained with just one victory since May 1 as the Orioles lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-2, in the series opener before an announced 20,556 at Camden Yards.
"We're not looking at the finished body. This is a 23-year-old young man trying to establish himself in the big leagues with about half a year in Triple-A, and he's doing well," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "That's the top-hitting team in the National League. It's more a case of us not doing much against [Kyle] Lohse and their bullpen other than [Ryan] Franklin. Holding them to three or four, we'll take that."
Lohse and Lance Lynn combined to shut the Orioles out for seven innings before J.J. Hardy's solo homer off Franklin in the bottom of the eighth. Adam Jones hit an RBI double later in the inning before Fernando Salas came on to get the final five outs.
At 35-41, the Orioles, who were coming off a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds in which they totaled nine home runs, are back to a season-low six games under .500. Britton is back to .500 for the season at 6-6; Tuesday's loss was his fifth over his past six decisions.
"We look at the last couple starts, and there are a handful of starts I could have won easily," Britton said. "We think about that. It's not that I haven't pitched well. There are games that I haven't pitched well at all and deserved to lose. But at the same time, I knew throughout some of these stretches [that] I threw the ball [well]. It just hasn't worked out for me in the win-loss column."
Britton didn't pitch terribly, allowing seven hits and two walks. He probably would have pitched deeper into the game, but Showalter opted to go to his bullpen after a 28-minute rain delay that came with two outs in the sixth, two batters after Colby Rasmus had deposited Britton's slider onto the flag court to give the Cardinals (42-38) a 4-0 lead.
The Cardinals, who were playing the first game at Camden Yards in franchise history, added two more after Britton left on Jon Jay's sacrifice fly in the sixth and Matt Holliday's two-run homer off Jason Berken in the seventh. Holliday made another bid for a two-run shot off Berken in the ninth, but left fielder Luke Scott scaled the wall to take it away. Scott limped back to the dugout and was removed from the game in the bottom half for a pinch hitter.
He was diagnosed with a right knee bruise and is considered day-to-day.
"I guess there was a bunch of poles back there holding the padding up, and that's where that little mark is from," Scott said, pointing to his knee.
"I just banged my knee, like a contusion, and banged my shoulder and my face a little bit. My knee is what stiffened up the most."
The game essentially was decided in the top of the second inning, when Britton allowed a one-out infield single to David Freese and walked Rasmus. He retired Yadier Molina for the second out before issuing consecutive RBI singles to Mark Hamilton, Nick Punto and Ryan Theriot. Those three hit eighth, ninth and first in the Cardinals' lineup, which doesn't include slugger Albert Pujols, who is on the disabled list.
"The second inning, obviously, I just couldn't stop the bleeding," Britton said. "It seems like the last couple outings, it's a bad inning that kind of gets me. It's a lot of singles, so that's a good sign. It's not a lot of extra-base hits. It's just a matter of better pitch location and then really putting my foot down and stopping the inning before it gets big."
Britton escaped a jam in the third and retired eight of nine batters before Rasmus' 400-foot homer in the sixth.
During his stretch of one win in 10 starts, Britton has allowed one earned run or fewer four times. He has surrendered three earned runs or fewer in seven of those contests but has been hurt by either a key error -- as was the case with Blake Davis' two-run gaffe in Britton's previous start against the Pittsburgh Pirates -- a lack of run support or a couple of ill-timed pitches.
"It's very misleading," Scott said of Britton's win-loss record.
"He's done a great job every game that we've played with him on the mound. We've sometimes struggled offensively, but he's done a good job for us. He's kept his pitch count pretty low, got a lot of outs, gotten a lot of ground-ball outs and he's done a good job."
Tuesday night was a case of the Orioles' offense giving him precious little help. Lohse (8-4) allowed four hits and a walk over five innings before Cardinals manager Tony La Russa opted to take him out after the delay with the righty's pitch count sitting at 69. Lynn struck out five of the seven batters he faced in two scoreless innings.
"Very typical of Dave Duncan pitching staffs, they locate the fastball [on] the arm side down [and] away, and if you can't make the adjustment to that, you're going to have a tough time," Showalter said.
"They've been doing it a long time, a lot of different teams, and Lohse was a great example of that tonight. We knew what he was going to try to do, and still the best pitch in baseball is the fastball down and away."

The federal government has approved the extradition of accused war criminal Dragan Vasiljkovic to Croatia.
Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare says he has determined that Vasiljkovic - also known as Captain Dragan and Daniel Snedden - should be returned to Croatia to face prosecution for war crimes he allegedly committed during the 1990s conflicts in the former Yugoslavia.
Mr Clare arrived at his decision after careful consideration of the Extradition Act, a spokesperson said.
"It is open to Mr Vasiljkovic to seek review of the minister's surrender determination," the spokesperson said in a brief statement on Saturday.
"It would therefore not be appropriate to comment further."
The dual Serbian-Australian citizen has been fighting extradition since he was arrested - while reportedly working as a golf instructor in Perth - in 2006.
In April that year, a magistrate found he was eligible for extradition to Croatia, but Vasiljkovic appealed.
His appeal was upheld by the full bench of the Federal Court two years later, prompting the commonwealth to appeal to the High Court.
Vasiljkovic was released on bail, but he skipped town when the High Court upheld the federal government's appeal. The Australian Federal Police tracked him down 44 days later on the NSW north coast.
It's alleged Vasiljkovic killed Croatian citizens and ordered others to commit murder when he was a paramilitary commander with the Krajina Serbs fighting against Croatia from 1991 to 1995.

Lack Of Wind Stops Play On Day Two Of 2010 Marinepool Melges 24 World Championship
9 August 2010
Tallinn, Estonia - 8 August 2010 - Despite the best efforts of a determined Race Committee, an almost total absence of any meaningful wind meant that no racing was possible today at the 2010 Marinepool Melges 24 World Championship in Tallinn, Estonia. By way of a first and a second in yesterday's opening two races, Italy's Lorenzo Bressani on Uka Uka Racing leads the Championship by four points from the Norwegian Corinthian Oyvind Peder Jahre on Storm Capital Sail Racing Team. Another Italian, Carlo Fracassoli on Gullisara, holds the remaining podium position at this stage, just points behind Jahre's.
Jahre's impressive performance yesterday means that he also leads the Corinthian Division by six points from Estonian Tiit Vihul on Rock City, with Austrian Christoph Skolaut on Franz Rocks a further two points adrift in third.
Even Melges 24 World Championships have to abide by the fundamental rule that if the wind doesn't blow, the boats won't go. Despite the Race Committee assembling the seventy-nine boat fleet out on the Baltic this morning in readiness for an on time start at midday, after several frustrating hours of chasing zephyrs around, they were eventually forced to send the fleet ashore just after two o'clock, to await further instructions. Around an hour later, a promising breeze began to develop and the committee boat led the fleet back to sea, in the hope of getting at least one race in before evening. It was all to no avail however, as after two aborted attempts to get the fleet away, the breeze evaporated for good and Principal Race Officer Lars Nyqvist had to bow to the inevitable and send the frustrated competitors back to shore.
Having lost two races today, Nyqvist and his race team will attempt to catch up with the schedule tomorrow and have brought forward the warning signal for the first race by one hour to 10.55. Opinions here are split on the forecast for tomorrow but organisers and competitors alike will have their collective fingers crossed for enough wind for some decent championship racing.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- New York police said they arrested a man accused of posing as a police officer and threatening to arrest hookers unless they gave him free sex.
Police said William Taylor, 32, posed as an officer in the area near Stanley and Pennsylvania Avenues at least four times since the start of the year and forced prostitutes to perform sex acts for free to avoid arrest, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.
Investigators with the Internal Affairs Bureau said they tracked Taylor using the cellphone number he allegedly gave one of the prostitutes in the hopes of becoming her pimp and arrested him Monday.
Taylor was charged with criminal impersonation of a police officer, criminal sex act, patronizing a prostitute, assault, forcible touching, kidnapping and criminal possession of a weapon.

"Zdroj Family" - The iconic "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" returns to ABC with a new primetime holiday themed special episode with Ty Pennington, the team of designers and firefighters from across the nation. The Zdroj Family episode will premiere MONDAY, DECEMBER 3 (8:00-9:00 & 9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. There are two more "EM:HE" special holiday episodes which will air on December 10 and December 17.
It was fitting that the Zdroj family settled on a property next to The Heart of Pines Volunteer Fire Department. Mizzy Zdroj had long dreamed of being a firefighter just like her hero, her grandfather. The Zdroj family practically lived off of the land, growing their own food and trying to live a "green" lifestyle. Mizzy kept a small art studio in a camper on the property, and made money by selling the dolls she crafted by hand.
A small wildfire in the area quickly raged out of control - becoming what is now known as the Bastrop wildfire, a fire that consumed more than 34,000 acres -- the largest wildfire in Texas history. While Mizzy Zdroj and other unpaid heroes from the volunteer fire department fought the flames, more than 1,600 homes, including the Zdroj family's, burned to the ground. They family not only lost their house and belongings, but Mizzy's livelihood as well when her farm and art studio went up in flames.
Currently 71% of all fire departments nationwide are volunteer departments. These volunteers risk their lives just like the heroes who are paid, but use old gear or equipment they bought themselves. It's usually firemen who are giving back to their communities through toy drives and food distribution during the holidays. THIS year "EM: HE" will give America's Bravest the biggest Christmas gift ever - a new home for the Zdroj Family and a dream renovation for the Heart of the Pine Fire Department.
The "EM:HE" design team has just seven days to build a brand new home for the Zdroj family, as well as remodel the firehouse for the community of volunteer firefighters. The Zdroj family has been whisked away on a coast-to-coast Christmas Vacation -- first to New York for a Christmas celebration, then off on a big surprise visit to a very special location on the west coast -- while "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" team leader Ty Pennington, designers Paul DiMeo, Tracy Hutson, John Littlefield, Jeff Dye and local builders EFC Custom Homes, as well as community volunteers build the structure and Meyerson Custom Builders, L.P. renovate the fire house.
"EM:HE" is produced by Endemol USA. David Goldberg is Chairman, Endemol North America. The series is executive-produced by Brady Connell & George Verschoor. This program airs in HD with 5.1 audio, and carries a TV-PG parental guideline.

IRVING, Texas (AP) – Jason Dufner outwardly showed little emotion last year when he won the Byron Nelson Championship in the midst of his incredible stretch of golf.
The same goes for Dufner when things aren't going as well, such as this season.
"I don't show it, but obviously it's going on inside. I played a lot of rounds this year with frustration and anger on my mind,'' Dufner said Wednesday. "I've got a good way of hiding the good and the bad. But there has been more anger and frustration this year than there was last year, for sure.''
His victory at the Nelson, after which there was no overwhelming outburst of excitement, capped a four-week span in which Dufner got his first two PGA Tour victories and also got married. He followed that with a runner-up finish at Colonial, a fourth-place finish at the U.S. Open and made 21 consecutive cuts to end the season.
"I don't reflect on it very much at all,'' he said. "Nothing is staying the same in golf. You're either getting better or you're getting worse. At this moment in time, I'm a little bit worse than I was last year.''
Heading into Thursday's opening round of the Nelson, Dufner hasn't had a top-10 finish this season and has already missed two cuts – twice as many as last year. He is coming off his worst round of the season, a closing 80 at The Players Championship with three double bogeys while never hitting a ball in the water.
The last person to win consecutive Nelsons was Tom Watson, who won three in a row from 1978-80. The only other back-to-back winners are Jack Nicklaus and Sam Snead.
A week after The Players, the Nelson field includes only six of the top 25 players in the world ranking, led by No. 7 Louis Oosthuizen – who missed the cut last year in his only previous Nelson appearance.
"I would rather come in a bit more in form than coming in top-ranked player (in the field),'' said Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champ who tied for 19th last week but hasn't made consecutive cuts in his seven PGA Tour events this year.
Playing on Nelson sponsor exemptions are Guan Tianlang, the 14-year-old amateur from China in his second PGA Tour event since making the cut at the Masters, and 19-year-old Jordan Spieth.
Spieth is playing in the Nelson for the third time, this time as a pro who has made six of nine cuts and already won nearly $700,000 this season. As an amateur at the Nelson, he tied for 16th as a 16-year-old in 2010, then played on the same day as his high school graduation two years ago when he tied for 32nd.
"This tournament is dear to my heart, and it gave me a big bump when I was able to get the exemption and take advantage when I was 16 and 17,'' said Spieth, who played one season at the University of Texas before turning pro. "Now back in a little different position now, not in school anymore, but I could be more excited to be back here. This is my favorite event of the year.''
While Dufner might not reflect on that impressive stretch last season, the TPC Four Seasons conjures good memories and those couple of months did give him a good perspective on his potential level of play.
His return to North Texas also could revive the viral sensation of "Dufnering.''
When Dufner made an appearance two months ago to promote the Nelson, there was a picture tweeted of the sleepy-eyed golfer sitting on the floor and slouched against a wall in a school classroom with kids.
Fellow golfers and others mimicked the shot with their own poses posted on Twitter. The hashtag (hash)dufnering emerged, and there are still people posting their own version.
"I was just sitting and somebody decided to take a picture and put it on the Internet. … The guys on Tour had a go at it with me and then it went viral,'' he said. "I didn't take it too seriously. Like most things in my life, I don't take things too seriously. But it's been a good response and I think people have had a kick out of it.''
Dufner said it's "extremely weird'' to him to see people having their dogs and cats "Dufnering,'' but said the response has been good. He has seen many of the posts, and there is one that stands out.
"One guy did it up in, I think it was a C-130, where they transport tanks for the military. They had the back hatch down and he was sitting on the edge and they were up 20, 30,000 feet in the air,'' he said. "That was a unique spot to do it.'

It's time! "Rokerthon" is coming back to "Today."
Al Roker is visiting college campuses across the United States, helping students break Guinness World Records.
Students who want Roker to come to their campus have to make a video showing off their school spirit, Today.com reported. In the video, students have to tell "Today" why Roker should do a live weather forecast from their campus, and what record they'd like him to help break.
An entry form is on Today.com.
Rokerthon began in November 2014 when the famed broadcaster broke the Guinness World Record for the longest uninterrupted weather broadcast, reporting live for 34 hours. In 2015, "Rokerthon 2, Taking America By Storm" aired as he set the world record for the fastest time to report a weather forecast from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Nanoelectronic Modeling Lecture 24: NEMO1D - Incoherent Scattering
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Incoherent processes due to phonons, interface roughness and disorder had been suspected to be the primary source of the valley current of resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) at the beginning of the NEMO1D project in 1994. The modeling tool NEMO was created at Texas Instruments to fundamentally understand the valley current in RTDs. With the common understanding that scattering is the source of the valley current and with the early successes in NEGF significant resources were invested to model incoherent scattering. A full NEGF transport model implemented in NEMO1D enabled an analysis of various scattering mechanisms. Important incoherent scattering mechanisms that affect the operation of a GaAs/AlGaAs RTD are alloy disorder, interface roughness, acoustic and polar optical phonon scattering. A thorough analysis of each of these scattering mechanisms has shown that the effects of alloy and acoustic phonon scattering are small compared to those of interface roughness and polar optical phonon scattering. It is found from the analysis performed with NEMO1D tool that incoherent scattering affects the valley current of the RTD particularly at low temperatures. These scattering effects are, however not strong enough to explain the valley current in high performance, high temperature devices. Two other key elements are needed to explain the valley current in RTDs: 1) scattering in the contact/emitter and 2) the proper modeling of excited states through full band material representations.
This presentation provides an overview of the physical scattering mechanisms and tries to convey some intuition of what is to be expected from these scattering mechanisms. Quantitative agreement of NEMO1D simulations with experimental data at low temperatures proves that NEMO1D indeed models the critical scattering mechanisms inside the central RTD properly. Experimental data for the same device at room temperature that scattering is not enough to expain the valley current at room temperature.
Learning Objectives:
- Overview scattering mechanisms inside a resonant tunneling diode, polar optical phonons, acoustic phonons, interface roughness, and alloy disorder.
- Demonstrate that NEMO1D can model scattering quantitatively at low temperatures and match experimental data.
- Demonstrate that scattering is not enough to explain room temperature data.

Six players, one coach and two undefeated teams make up the fifth class to be inducted into the Chestnut Hill Academy Athletic Hall of Fame.
The ceremony will take place on Friday, Oct. 25 as part of Springside Chestnut Hill Academy's Homecoming weekend. The addition of the 2013 class brings the Hall's total membership since its founding in 2001 to 48 players, 6 coaches and 10 teams.
According to the CHA Athletic Hall of Fame constitution, individual athletes out of school 10 years, teams from 10 or more years ago, coach-teachers who haven't coached in five years, and administrators who have been gone from CHA for five years, are all eligible for consideration.
The Hall of Fame Committee – according to its chairman, former CHA teacher, coach and athletic director James M. Talbot II – takes individual performance as well as character and reputation into consideration. Honorees, who may be elected posthumously, do not have to be CHA graduates.
"You have to be a sportsman," Talbot said. "You have to bring honor and glory to the school. Even if you were in the [Baseball] Hall of Fame, if you were a felon you wouldn't get into the CHA Athletic Hall of Fame."
The teams and individuals being inducted this year are:
• The 1990 Undefeated Varsity Tennis Team, which posted a 15-0 record overall and went 10-0 in the Inter-Academic League. Coached by Frank Steel '77, the team's captains were the late Tinry Dawson '90 and John Talbot '90.
• The 2001-2002 Undefeated Varsity Squash Team, which was both the Inter-Academic League and the Mid Atlantic Squash Association champions. Coached by Ted Rorer '61 and Jim Talbot II '81, the team had a 17-0 record. Its captains were Jay Boothby '02, Tripp Kyle '02 and Bruce Saltzman '02.
• Francis P. Steel Jr. '77, who is being inducted for his 17 years as CHA's varsity tennis coach. During his tenure, which began in 1985, his teams had great success. In addition to the 1990 undefeated team that is also being inducted this year, Frank Steel's teams won five consecutive Inter-Academic League championships in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998. While the school's current head of school is being recognized for his tennis coaching, over his three-decades as a member of the school's faculty and administration he has also coached soccer, ice hockey, squash, golf and baseball. As a student he was captain of the 1977 Inter-County League championship ice hockey team that was inducted into CHA's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2006 as part of the Hall's third class.
• Jonathan C. Freeman '94, who served as the captain of CHA's soccer and tennis teams his senior year and the squash team his 11th- and 12th-grade years, the year he also received the Patterson Cup as the senior class' best athlete. At Trinity College in Hartford he played varsity soccer and squash all four years, captaining the soccer team for the 1996 and 1997 seasons and squash for the 1997/1998 season. As a squash player he was undefeated his junior and senior years. He was awarded the George Sheldon McCook Trophy, which is given to a senior male athlete for "distinction in intercollegiate athletics, including diligence and conscientiousness in observance of all the rules of drill, training, and discipline and general dependableness in practice, tests, and contests; courtesy, self-control, uprightness and honor at all times, but especially in athletics and contests."
• Daniel C. Gargan '01, who was part of the soccer, basketball and track teams at CHA. He captained soccer and track, teams that each won two Inter-Academic League championships. He received the Patterson Cup as the senior class' best athlete. At Georgetown University he played soccer, serving as the team's captain for two years. In 2004 he was an All Big East second team selection. After college he has played professional soccer for the Colorado Rapids, Chivas Regal (in Los Angeles), Toronto FC, the Chicago Fire and the San Jose Earthquakes. A defender, he won the Nutrilite Canadian Championship with the Toronto FC in 2010.
• Joshua T. Jennings '90, who played football and basketball at CHA. His 1989 football squad was the Independence Football League champion and the 1990 basketball team, which he captained, was second in the Inter-Ac League. At Yale he played basketball all four years and was the team's captain in 1994. That was the year he had All-Ivy Academic Honors, He also won the Stan Smith Award for leadership in Yale basketball and the Eggy Miles Award for having the leading free throw percentage on the squad.
• Francis Gilpin Bartlett "Gilly" Lane '03 While Gilly Lane is primarily known for his achievements as a squash player, his CHA athletic career also included significant accomplishments in soccer and baseball. He lettered in each four times, captained them his senior year, was named to the first team All Inter-Ac team in both sports. As a squash player he was part of five Inter-Ac championship teams. He won numerous awards during his time at CHA, including the Patterson Cup as the senior class' best athlete. During his high school years he was also the US Squash Junior National Champion in Boys Under 15, Under 17, and Under 19 categories. While at the University of Pennsylvania he was a four-time All American and All Ivy League. He captained the Penn squash team his junior and senior years. In 2007 he was the first Penn player to win the Skillman Award, which is given annualy to a senior men's squash player who has demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship during his entire college career. He turned pro after college and was the winner of three Professional Squash Association titles; was the second ranked player in the United States; reached a World High Ranking of #48, the second highest American ranking of all time. He is currently ranked number 44 on the International Squash Doubles Association's Pro Doubles Tour.
• Jeffrey A. Larentowicz '01, who played soccer for CHA throughout his high school years. He earned four letters, two of which were for playing on two Inter-Ac championship teams. He also played basketball (earning two letters) and golf for the Blue Devils. He captained the FC Delco Arsenal to two United States Youth Soccer Association National Championships in 2002 and 2003. While at Brown University his teams twice were Ivy League champs. He was a four-time All Ivy selection and twice a second team NSCAA All America selection. Since graduating from Brown in 2005 the midfielder has played in over 200 Major League Soccer games for the New England Revolution, the Colorado Rapids, and currently for the Chicago Fire.
• Porter Shimer '67, who was a standout football and baseball player and wrestler during his senior school years at CHA. He was co-captain of the 1966 football and the 1967 wrestling and baseball teams. As a football player, he was chosen as a Maxwell Club High School Player of the week, as a member of the All Northwest Football Team and was a second team All-Inter-Ac selection. As a wrestler he was the 145-pound runner-up at the Episcopal Invitational Wrestling Tournament. He went on to play freshman football at Princeton University.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيمStarting in the name of Allah
And millions of durood on Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)
Aslam o alaikum
Beliefs of Ibn Taymiyyah He endorsed Muslims in Fana(wajd/ecstasy) saying" Anal Haq"
Ibn Taymiyyah says in [ Book 2, volume 2, pages 396-397 of Majmu'a Fatawi Ibn Taymiyya, published by Dar ar-Rahmat, Cairo] about Deep love and Fana of Allah experienced by some muslims
This state of love is the state of many people that are from the people of Love to Allah 'azza wa jall, they are the people of the love of Allah and the People of the Will (al-Irada) of Allah (it is typical of many of the people that love God and seek Him.)
Because that person has vanished in his lover, in Allah 'azza wa jall--through the intensity of the love, because He vanished in Allah's love, not his own ego's love. And he will recall Allah, not recalling himself, remember Allah not remembering himself, visualizing Allah [yastashhid], not visualizing himself, existing in Allah, not in the existence of himself.
When he reaches that stage, he no longer feels his own existence. And that is why he says in this state, "Ana al-Haqq" (I am the Truth), or "Subhanee. (Glory to Me!)" and he will say "maa fil jubba ill-Allah" (there is nothing in this cloak except Allah), because he is drunk in the love of God and this is a pleasure and happiness that he cannot control."
Beliefs of Ibn Taymiyyah He endorsed Muslims in Fana(wajd/ecstasy) saying" Anal Haq"
Further on Ibn Taymiyya says in same above book :
"This [matter] has in it Haqq and there is in it Batil. But when someone will enter a state with his fervor intense love ('ishq) to Allah, he will enter a state of absentmindedness, and when he enters the state of absentmindedness, he will find himself as if he is accepting the [concept] ittihad. I do not consider this a sin. Because that person is excused and no one may punish him as he is not aware of what he is doing. Because the pen does not condemn the crazy except when he is restored to sanity
And when that person is in that state and he was wrong in what he did, he will be under Allah's address:
"Rabbana laa tuakhidhna in-nasseeena aw akhtaana" "O Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make mistakes." (Baqara, 286)
"And Allah says in other verse, "wa laa junaaha 'alaykum fimaa akhtaatum bihi" "there is no blame on you if you unintentionally do a mistake."
On page 339, in Volume 10, he says: Also in Al Ubudiyyah: Being A True Slave Of Allah page 128 ,Taha publishers ],
Ibn Taymiyyah says on a state in deep Fana of Allah
"there is a story of two men who were so respectful and loved each other very much. One of them fell in the water [of the sea] and immediately the other threw himself behind him. Then the first one, who was sinking asked, "what made you throw yourself here?" He said,"I vanished in you. and when I vanished in you I thought you were me and I was you."
And further on he continues:
"As long as he is not drunk through something that is prohibited, it is accepted, but if it were prohibited, (the intention was bad) then he is not excused."
Beliefs of Ibn Taymiyyah Many muslims (sufis) go into a state of Fana(wajd/ecstasy/swoon) where there mind or body is no longer in their control, and Shariah is not valid on them in that state
Ibn taymiyah says in
He says in page 27 of ا لؤ صيد اللبرئ
Similarly some people are such that they
Ibn taymiyah says in
He says in page 27 of ا لؤ صيد اللبرئ
Similarly some people are such that they get to see sight in their Qalb (hearts), and that sight influences them in such an extent that they go into Fana and their ability to think and differentiate is no more[/blur] and he thinks that whatever he is seeing is from the eye
Scanned page with full arabic
on page 129 ibn taymiyyah states about salafs
....... at the time of the Tabi'in, among the worshippers of Al Basra, among whom were some who would swooon or even die when they heard the Quran, such as Abu Juhayr Al Darir and Zararah Ibn Awfa the Qadi of Al Basra.
Some of the Sufi Shaykhs experience this kind of oblivios and and intoxication where they are unable to make proper distinctions, and when they are in that state they may say words which when they come round they realise are wrong
,. Such stories are reported about ...
... acetics such as Abu Yazid {al Bistami}, Abu'l Hasan Al Nuri and Abu Bakr Al Shibli and so on
on Page Number: 130
... unlike Abu Sulayman Al Darini, Maruf Al Khar'ki, and Al Fudayl Ibn Ayyad, let alone Al Junayd {Al Baghdadi} and so on, who remained of the sound mind throughou all their experiences and who never rell into states of oblivion or intoxication, etc. Those who have reached a level ofperfection have nothing in theri hearts except love of Allah and the desire to worship Him alone.[Book: Al Ubudiyyah: Being A True Slave Of Allahm Ta-Ha Publishers]
Ibn Taymiyyah again said again
The second category consists of those sufis whose experience of fana and intoxication (sukr) weakened their sense of discrimination, and made them utter words that they later realized to be erroneous when they became sober
Majmu Fatawa vol. 10, pp. 220-1
Beliefs of Ibn Taymiyyah He believed that Prophet (saleh alawalaihi wasalam) is alive in his Grave and also other Muslims are alive and hear every thing

Gallery: Pakistanis rally as teen remains in critical condition.
ISLAMABAD - The family of the 14-year-old girl shot by the Taliban say the assassination attempt will not force them to flee Pakistan or silence their daughter's criticism of extremists.
Malala Yousafzai remains in a critical condition after being singled out by gunmen on her way home from school on Tuesday. Her courage in writing a blog about life under the Pakistan Taliban when they controlled the Swat Valley has turned her into a national heroine in a country where few are brave enough to challenge extremism.
Doctors cannot yet say whether she will make a full recovery. Hours after surgeons removed a bullet from his daughter's neck, Ziaddun Yousafzai told The Daily Telegraph that his family had no intention of seeking asylum overseas.
"We wouldn't leave our country if my daughter survives or not," said Yousafzai, at the military hospital in the northwestern city of Peshawar where Malala is being treated. "We have an ideology that advocates peace. The Taliban cannot stop all independent voices through the force of bullets."
He said the family had received multiple threats but had never considered stopping their campaign against the Taliban or leaving Mingora, the main town of Swat. Mr Yousafzai also said his family had rejected offers of security for his daughter in the past. "We stayed away from that because she is a young female. The tradition here does not allow a female to have men close by," he said.
The Pakistan Taliban has already said it will try again to kill Malala if she survives. On Wednesday, family friends reported fresh threats against Malala's father and brother.
Malala won international recognition for highlighting Taliban atrocities in Swat with an anonymous blog for the BBC three years ago, when the Islamist militants led by the radical cleric Maulana Fazlullah burned girls' schools and terrorised the valley.
Her struggle resonated with tens of thousands of girls who were denied an education by Islamist militants.
Gunmen flagged down her school bus on Tuesday and opened fire after asking for her by name. Two other girls were injured. A spokesman for the Pakistan Taliban tried to justify the attack, accusing Malala of embarking on a secular, pro-Western campaign at odds with the values of the local Pashtun population.
For the time being, her hospital room has become a magnet for politicians and military leaders keen to burnish their anti-militant credentials.
The military released a photograph of Gen Ashfaq Kayani, Pakistan's army chief of staff, looking awkward beside her hospital bed. "The cowards who attacked Malala and her fellow students, have shown time and again how little regard they have for human life and how low they can fall in their cruel ambition to impose their twisted ideology," he said.
The military said it had a simple message, which it wrote in capital letters in a statement to add emphasis: "WE REFUSE TO BOW BEFORE TERROR."
Doctors, who operated on Malala to remove a bullet from close to her spinal cord, say she is too ill to be flown overseas for more specialist help. A jet remains on standby to fly her to Dubai.

Susan G. Komen North Jersey announced that it will award a total of 13 grants to 11 local community non-profit organizations in its nine-county service area for 2018-2019, with an increase in total program funding at 15% year over year. Since its founding in 1997, Komen North Jersey has awarded nearly $19 million to local community programs in nine North Jersey counties and has directed more than $7 million to national research initiatives in pursuit of new breast cancer screening techniques, better and more effective treatment options, and ultimately, the causes and cures to eradicate breast cancer forever.
Komen North Jersey's local mission is focused on providing access to those who need it most—uninsured and medically-underserved women and men in our neighborhoods—by funding grants to support programs that provide critical services at a grassroots level. These include Patient Navigators who guide breast cancer patients through the arduous (and often complicated) journey of diagnosis and treatment; financial assistance for basic necessities while patients are undergoing what often is a debilitating course of treatment; and breast health/breast cancer education and access to life-saving breast health services for minority populations and communities considered most "at risk."
In addition, this year, Komen has set aside $10,000 to fund a special grant devoted to providing support to breast cancer survivors. According to Komen North Jersey sources, the Affiliate has more than tripled its grant funding since 2014. "We are very proud that Komen North Jersey is able to fund so many important programs that are helping the women and men in our community who need us most," says Tina Jacobs, the Affiliate's Director of Community Health. "We are grateful for the amazing generosity of our supporters, which enabled us to increase our funding again this year. We know this will translate to more lives saved and more impact in our communities. Until a cure is found, we'll be here, working hard to raise money to support as many of these community programs as we possibly can."
In order to ensure it is funding programs addressing the specific unmet breast cancer needs of the North Jersey community, Komen North Jersey works with local health care professionals and community leaders to conduct a comprehensive community needs assessment every five years. This Community Profile, a required practice of all Komen Affiliates, is then used to establish a local grant application and review process consistent with the organization's standards and mission. Funding is restricted in that it may only be used to provide the vital breast health services indicated in each grantee's program application. Funds must be strictly tracked and may never be mixed with an organization's general operating funds.
In 2016, Susan G. Komen set its sights on a BOLD goal to reduce the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50% in the US by 2026 (40,000 women and men are expected to die from the disease this year). They will achieve this by focusing on ensuring that everyone—especially the most vulnerable among us—has access to and utilizes high-quality breast cancer care. And they have committed to invest more money into research targeted at the most lethal and aggressive forms of the disease (Komen directed nearly half of ALL 2017 new research project funding to metastatic research).
The Komen North Jersey Affiliate is just one of a worldwide network of passionate local Susan G. Komen Affiliates committed to easing the suffering of those diagnosed with the disease, and who work diligently to do everything they can to end breast cancer forever. Komen has transformed how the world treats and talks about this disease and has helped turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors. From 1989-2015, deaths from breast cancer declined by 39 percent. Almost every major breast cancer research breakthrough has been partially funded by Komen—including the recently-announced breakthrough study that some women with early stage breast cancer may be able to avoid chemotherapy. The organization is the largest non-profit funder of breast cancer research in the world second only to the U.S. government.
The 2018-2019 Komen North Jersey Grantee organizations include: Bergen Volunteer Medical Initiative, Breast Cancer Emergency Aid Foundation, Cancer Care, Clara Maas Medical Center, Englewood Medical Center, Hoboken Family Planning, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, Northwest Jersey Community Action Partnership, Inc., Overlook Medical Center, Somerset Health Care Foundation and Trinitas Regional Medical Center.
