There's no question that Taylor Swift is an international superstar whose appeal transcends country music. But there is a fresh debate concerning her fans. On Wednesday (Dec. 5), MTV released a list of 16 artists with the most engaged fans and challenged those fans to compete for the title of "Last Fans Standing, The Best Fans of the Year." The social media challenge is part of The Big & Best of 2012: A Year End Celebration Presented by T-Mobile , and the top seven artists with the most passionate fan armies will compete throughout the eight-hour live stream starting on 12/12/12 at 12 p.m. ET.
Will Swift's fan army of "Swifties" make the cut to represent country music? They've already bought 2.8 million copies of her latest album Red which means they could have what it takes to do battle with fans of Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, the Wanted, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Adam Lambert, Bruno Mars, Demi Lovato, Chris Brown, One Direction and more. Hopefully, Swift's budding romance with One Direction's Harry Styles won't complicate matters for her fans. Just remember all's fair in love and war. Swift fans should go to MTV's facebook page to "share" your favorite celeb's photo as many times as you can.

|Willis April 1st 1876 My Dear Son Your welcome favor of the 30th Ulto. came to hand yesterday. I read it with much pleasure and interest. I think you did right in offering my land for sale. I agree with you, that it is best to get it into something available & more manageable. Your Pa, once , in 1852, saw this labor you speak of, he said it was a valuable location; good land & timber upon it. A few days since I had an interview with Capt. Hightower, in regard to our claim, he is of opinion that the new Constitution bars it but said if he saw any chance for getting it that he would do all in his power for us, that he had no doubt of its being a just claim &c &c. Now if I understand the meaning of the new Constitution under the head of Requirements and Limitations, Sec 44,853, we are not bared. If a foreign ministers salary was fixed by law, and as I always understood your father it was & to be paid in Par money, as the money issued by the Repub -lic of Texas was always below par, down as low ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ as 30 Cts, upon the dollar. I am now speaking of what existed under Gen. Houstons Admin istrations. A note form Gen Houston speaks of the matter of your fathers being the made the only exception. Now if there was a law fixing the foreign Ministers Salary & pay in par funds I do not think the new Constitution intends to invalidate it. That is so far as I can compre- hend the meaning of the instrument. I like yourself fear the laps of time &c &c . I posted Capt Hightower however in regard to why the matter had been delayed during you Pas, lifetime, and also since; Doct Jordan says that he will go into the subject with his whole soul & that he can make a jury believe that black is white or any other color he wishes. In other words that there is no such thing so surely as resisting the powerful arguments he can bring up to accomplish his end. Make his acquaintance when you meet him in Austin. He is an honest kind hearted man. I like him much. I have not heard from Sam or Sallie since I wrote you last. We are still having cold weather. Poor Mary Roper I hope she may meet with kind friends where ------------------------------------------------------------------ she is going. I so often think of her in her lonely broken up situation, and feel anxious to see her pleasantly situated once more. I am thinking of going out West some time this spring. I would not go, but going will be less expensive to me than staying here, certainly not more so; I will not need any more outfit in the way of clothing than if I remained here, or at Sallies. I will go on down there to see them before I start. Mary Ashe I think will spend some part of the summer at Gastons. Mrs Jordan intends going to the Fair with the Doct. he will go down towards the last of April as he is interested in the Chicken fights and Races . Mary is not going to the Fair With much love and best wishes from Your loving Mother Mary Jones. The Ten dollar bill came safely is sufficient for my present wants

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Western Kentucky University was locked down for about three hours Wednesday after reports of gunmen on campus, but officials said they could find no evidence that shots had been fired or that anyone had a weapon.
Someone reported seeing people with weapons in a building on a satellite campus and police later received reports that shots had been fired on the main campus, a mile away.
Police searched a South Campus building but did not find any people with guns or witnesses who could confirm those reports.
Shortly before 1 p.m., the university sent a text message warning students to seek shelter after reports of shots fired in or near Pearce Ford Tower residence hall, on the school's main campus, though those reports were also unconfirmed.
No weapons involved
Officials said there was some type of fight in or near the residence hall, though it did not involve weapons.
"We did have a fight and initial reports were that a weapon was involved but that has not been confirmed," said Bob Skipper, director of media relations for the school about an hour north of Nashville, Tenn. "We actually had reports of three different fights, one on our south campus about a mile from our main campus."
He said he did not know whether the fights were connected. Spokeswoman Robbin Taylor said four people were being questioned by police but no charges had been filed.
No injuries were reported.
Classes canceled
The campus emergency warning system was activated and students and employees were told to remain indoors. An "all clear" was issued around 4 p.m. Classes were canceled for the rest of Wednesday.
Alex Wood, 18, a freshman from Brentwood, Tenn., was ordering food in the Red Zone restaurant on campus when one of her friends received a text message alert.
"We're watching the news when it does come on," she said by cell phone from the restaurant, where students were told to stay put during the lockdown. "It's a little scary. I feel very safe where I am."
The university, which has about 16,500 undergraduates, is on a hill in Bowling Green. Its students and sports teams are known as Hilltoppers.

Since the death of my husband, while mourning, filling out paperwork conceived by some compulsive lunatic in Washington, and various forms of meshugge advice, I've suddenly found myself part of a terrifying new demographic: Jewish Boomer Single.
Here's how. This last year, and particularly the last few months, I've stared at re-runs of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," in long T-shirts that read: "owHHHHH How Can I Control My Life If I Can't Control My Hair." So when the PR lady from a "Local Jewish Boomer Singles" group called to ask me to give a speech, I quaked, then determined, "It's time to get UP a little (and definitely time to wash the T-shirt). First of all, I love sharing Yiddishkeit, but also, it might be an opportunity to meet interesting people who know that a mu mu isn't the sound a cow makes.
I finally looked in a full-length mirror -- something I've avoided for 20 years.
Am I ready for this? No. But I took a baby step and did what the magazines say: I took "inventory" and looked in a full-length mirror, something I've avoided for 20 years, to answer the question: "Who am I now?" Or in my case … "What?"
After being married for so long, it appeared that without my knowledge, my upper arms went from firm to firmly able to wave in planes, and my eye bags are a good Plan B should I run out of Ziplocs.
As for inventory, as a writer, I have three one-size-fits-no-one wardrobes: Three "gently" used gowns whose expiration date were 1990 when I bought them in 1995, and are age-perfect for Natalie Portman; two suits for when I'm forced to meet "suits;" and 300 torn shmattes that could be used in a low-rent production of Les Miserables. But hey, my husband and I were a perfect sartorial match.
The hair you may know about … fucilli in revolt (or revolting fucilli).
So, before agreeing, I decided to attend one of their events to get the lay of LocalJewishBoomerLand. I tore through my pathetic closet to find something that: a) sort of fit -- someone; b) didn't have an indelible ink stain or fuzzy feet attached, and most of all, c) might make me look 35 … if there were a power failure. Then I beat my locks into frizzy spirals warning each to stay put -- or else, waving garden shears to show them I was serious.
As a young unmarried woman, while I wasn't exactly a threat to Cheryl Tiegs, I "knew" the drill, felt comfortable meeting and greeting, and was pretty okay with myself.
Now, a few years older, deafer, droopier, distressed, with a "social" IQ into negative integers my quaking would make Dr. Katz look like he's on a Sominex drip.
My son drove me to LocalJewishBoomerLand. What I found (God don't punish me) was, to quote "The Producers," LocalLittleOldLadyLand. Now before you get appropriately huffy, mamalas, I love old people; their insight, stories, wisdom. And most of all, I'll be one – soon. But now? Right now?? There they were: 16 women and three men – who after introducing themselves, told me their ages: "Darling, would you believe I'll be 87 and a quarter – in 13 days!" The only people who count age in fractions are either toddlers ("I 'fwee' and one half") or those proudly marking off the time when the smiling weather man announces, "And in local news, Ira Shmelowitz turned 100 today! Happy Birthday, Mr. Shmelowitz, who made hats for both Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover!"
Oy vez iz mir! Either I'd grown cataracts, or the lady from "Local Jewish Boomers" left out in which century they "boomed."
In addition to fractional birthdays, another thing seniors and toddlers now seem to have in common is ... nursery camp, which I was "interrupting." In every Jewish group there's one "sha" lady whose "job" it is to shush. You whisper "hello," she "sha's" you. "Where should I sit?" "Sha." "Where do I sign in? "SHA!" It seems I walked in during a round of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" led by three "counselors" who k-nocked each person on the shoulder when it was his or her turn to start.
So, among the Goldbergs, the Steinbergs, and the Weinbergs, I gave up and "rowed" my miserable "boat," praying for an "Iceberg." Other songs included, "Happy Birthday," "Pop Goes the Weasel," and "Do Your Ears Hang Low?" (which I found in highly questionable taste).
The next "activity" was "alphabet!" The leaders "explained" how it goes from "A to Z" and, in turn, we were to come up with a word starting with that letter. To make absolutely sure we understood, they told each of us what the next letter, our letter was. First I was "U" then I became "V" when one lady went to the Ladies room (or plotzed). I went with "VEZ MIR!"
This was followed by "improv." Each of us had to write something on a piece of paper, an exercise that took a half hour. I wrote: "YOU'RE MAKING ME MESHUGGE!!" I admit it. I wanted to watch these peppy tattoo-sporting, clearly non-Jewish "counselors", attempt to pronounce it, which held out some promise of humor.
It did.
"Missaga?" "Meshaga?" "Mishgee?"
The entire group cracked up, and yelled "'MESHUGGE!' IT MEANS 'NUTS'" (With a silent "YUTZ" in the air.) Then, they proceeded to joke and talk, with great wit and knowledge about the economy, the election, the Mid-East crisis, and oil spills in the Gulf.
Now, I was upset. First, I hated camp when I was five … and here I was back again, except the "snack" was prune juice.
By the time my son picked me up, he had to pick me up. "What's wrong with you?" he said.
"Look at my 'peers'" I responded. In under an hour, ego shattered, I had limped to the car, complaining of bursitis.
But more upsetting: I would be them; these smart, wise adults who the world had reduced to "five and a half." Oh God … would I be forced to be told the alphabet? Reduced to singing nursery rhymes?
My fervent prayer is, I'll still be around when these "leaders" turn Boomers … and I swear, I won't make them sing "The Old Grey Mare."

Looking forward to hearing Ligon Duncan at next month's General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Australia.
I hear he has other speaking engagements in Australia as well.
Sadly, not in Mount Gambier.
Somehow we fell off the list of places under consideration.
Anyway, here's a press release about Ligon's just announced appointment as chancellor and CEO of Reformed Theological Seminary, an institution of which he has been a part for over twenty years, in addition to his pastoral work at First Presbyterian Church in Jackson.
So, as this new season commences I continue to look forward to Dr. Duncan's words to the PCA. Hopefully fruitful relationships between the two PCA's can continue to be nurtured.
(JACKSON, MS) – August 18, 2013 – The RTS Board of Trustees has elected Dr. J. Ligon Duncan, III, as chancellor and CEO of Reformed Theological Seminary. Duncan is currently the John E. Richards professor of systematic and historical theology at RTS in Jackson, Miss., and the senior minister of historic First Presbyterian Church (1837), where he has served for the past 17 years. He is the president of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, and served as President of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals from 2004-2012. Click here to visit the RTS chancellor Web page.
Duncan will continue to teach systematic and historical theology for RTS, and will serve as senior minister at First Presbyterian Church until the end of this year. His appointment as chancellor and CEO of RTS follows his good friend Dr. Michael Milton, who retired as chancellor in May 2013.
"We are thankful the Lord has answered our prayers for a new chancellor, and that Dr. Duncan has accepted the call to lead RTS. We began this search expecting it to take an extended amount of time, but we were gratefully surprised at how quickly consensus was reached," said RTS Chairman of the Board Richard Ridgway. "Dr. Ligon Duncan is uniquely gifted for this important leadership position at RTS. He is a well-known theologian, pastor, preacher and churchman not only in the PCA but across the spectrum of evangelical and Reformed churches, here in North America and around the world. As an RTS professor for 23 years, he knows our institution and our faculties know him as a man who is both a scholar and a pastor. He is an effective communicator with great leadership ability."
A familiar face to us, Duncan has taught for RTS since 1990. He has lectured for RTS in Jackson, Charlotte, Orlando, Memphis, and for our Global program, as well as in Vienna and Hong Kong. He has delivered lectures and papers at various universities, seminaries and national meetings, and has preached or addressed major conferences as a member of the faculty representing RTS.
He earned the Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Edinburgh, New College (Scotland) in the field of Patristics, or what is now often called Early Christian Studies. His doktorvater was the renowned Reformation and Patristic scholar, David F. Wright. Duncan did both his M.Div. (cum laude), and his M.A. (in Historical Theology) also cum laude, at Covenant Theological Seminary, where he was mentored by the respected church historian, David B. Calhoun. Duncan received his B.A. (History) from Furman University. He has authored, co-authored, edited or contributed to more than 35 books.
Having served on the staff at The Covenant Presbyterian Church of St. Louis (under the late Rodney Stortz), Duncan's pastoral experience began in his twenties. He was licensed to preach by his presbytery in 1985 and supplied pulpits in churches in the U.K. throughout his time there in the late-1980's. In 1990 he was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and joined the faculty of RTS in Jackson, where he was subsequently appointed the John R. Richardson professor of theology. During this time, he also served as an assistant minister at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Jackson (under his boyhood pastor, Gordon K. Reed) and then as interim pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Yazoo City, Miss. He left his full-time position at RTS to become senior minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Jackson in 1996 (only the twelfth in that congregation's 177-year history), but continued to teach at RTS as adjunct.
In 2004, Duncan became the youngest minister ever to serve as moderator of the general assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America. He helped co-found Together for the Gospel in 2006, which has become a major catalyst for the young reformed resurgence. He is founder and chairman of Reformed Academic Press and serves on numerous boards/councils including the Highland Theological College, The Gospel Coalition, and the Reformed African American Network. He is the chairman of the RUF Midsouth Joint Committee which gives oversight to university campus ministry throughout the region.
His wife Anne is an RTS alumna with a master's degree in marriage and family therapy. She is currently on the faculty of Jackson Preparatory School. Ligon and Anne are the delighted parents of two wonderful teenagers and they plan to continue to reside in Jackson.

[Intro: Michael Jackson and 60 Minutes' Ed Bradley]
Michael Jackson:
"Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's the Gospel
People write negative things because they feel that's what sells
Good news to them doesn't sell."
Edward Bradley: "How has it impacted you?
You know, touring, record sales..."
Jackson: "My record is number one all over the world
All over the world. America's the only one because
I don't want to say too much."
Bradley: "But it's not number one in the United States."
Jackson: "It's a conspiracy, yeah
I will never stop helping and loving people,the way Jesus said to
He said, continue to love, always love, bring on the children
Imitate the children. Not childish, but child-like."
[Verse: Jay Electronica]
It's the return of the black Moors with no fez
Scary like that documentary on Lisa Lopez
Pentagrams, pyramids, conspiracies with goat heads
Knock down the levees
Knock down the projects
Start another project
Build another object
A drive-thru touchscreen doctrine for me to digest
Just horses with our blinders on
Drivin' by the obvious
Ridin' by the obvious
Flyin' by the obvious (uh huh)
Regardless who you vote for
If the mind don't grow
And the poverty line don't go
But the dope keep coming
And the tv keep flashing images of a sports car
Then you bound for a coke war
The meek get clowned by the coke law
The sheep get drowned in the folklore
Then lulled to sleep by Tom Brokaw
What a pity, the hope on a politician's tongue
Never ever trickles down the city
So if a nigga put a president's mask on
And run up in the bank with a Mac saying "gimme gimme!"
I ain't glad at him
But I ain't mad at him
(I ain't mad at him)
If anybody ask you who I be
Say a painter with a felt pen who drew Ali
I'm like Cassius when I blast molasses
Out the ass of the masses
From Fulton Street Mall to Gratiot
I'm handin out free at last kits
Yo, Jay, where ya staff at?
Green said you threw it
Yeah, I outgrew it
Some blogs said, "you blew it"
Nigga, fuck yo' blog
Jigga man said you can't knock the hustle, dog
I'm on the same launchin' pad that shot Russell off
That's why I stay dougie
That's why I stay dougie
That's why I stay dougie
Jay Electronica is an astute political and cultural commentator. In "Swagger Jackson's Revenge," Jay Elec offers commentary on the the state of the American inner-city and its relationship to Washington and economic power holders.
Jay comments on the fact that public housing is under attack by politicians and real estate developers, and the fact that New Orleans was, for all intents and purposes, stolen from its pre-Katrina population, among other things. It is nothing short of a class war perpetrated by the wealthy and their political friends.
Jay Electronica ain't having it.

Important to consider options before choosing your new pet
IF YOU are considering choosing a pet then you are about to begin a relationship that will have you wondering how you survived without your new friend.
We get something from our pets that we just don't seem to get from any other source, not even our fellow human beings. Most people call it unconditional love.
Here are some options about the two most popular pets, cats and dogs.
The advantage of dogs as pets stems from their exceptionally faithful personality.
Dogs are very social creatures and enjoy a balanced relationship with their owners and for every gram of affection given to them they give a kilogram back.
They are usually active animals and will passionately enjoy daily jaunts around the suburbs with their owners, where both benefit from the exercise.
They are ultimately trainable, entertaining and exceptional company.
Health-wise, dogs are one of the more expensive animals to maintain, and the bigger they are, the more they cost.
For an exceptional deal, visit your local animal shelter where you can adopt a wonderful homeless hound.
Usually they are vaccinated, desexed and heartworm-free.
Cats are wonderful pets. They are superior and intelligent in nature, graceful and mischievously playful.
They are masters of their own destiny and are often aloof and independent.
Unlike dogs, they are not pack animals, but practise a more solitary lifestyle, which is why they are less dependent on their owners and why they appear more aloof.
Cats are less active than dogs and do not usually need or tolerate walks through the suburbs as well as dogs.
They are therefore well suited to a family with a less active lifestyle.
Cats are the only true "self-cleaning" items in your household, and are usually very tidy in their habits.
Unlike dogs they bury their droppings and, given access to the outside, you are unlikely to find their waste deposits.
They can be successfully kept inside the house when provided with a litter tray.
Whatever pet you decide on, don't rush your decisions and ask plenty of questions.

Charles Dickens Museum
Number 48 Doughty Street is the only remaining London home of eminent Victorian author Charles Dickens. Dickens described the terraced Georgian dwelling as 'my house in town' and resided here from 1837 until 1839 with his wife and young family.
Two of his daughters were born here, his sister-in-law Mary died aged 17 in an upstairs bedroom and some of his best-loved novels were written here, including Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby.
The museum was transformed and expanded in 2012 with a £3.1 million restoration project, and now features original Victorian furniture and fittings, newly opened attics and kitchens, and a brand new education centre at neighbouring 49 Doughty Street.
Visitors to the museum will be taken on a unique journey back in time as they explore and discover Dickens's life through richly recreated rooms and intimate displays of his personal belongings, paintings and his writing.

Out in Los Angeles, Saks Fifth Avenue and the Aviva Foundation hosted the Platinum Associates luncheon, featuring the Chanel Cruise collection. In order to re-create the "Coco on the Lido" theme of the house's Venice show, hostess Susan Casden shipped in sand to create a fake seashore and sacrificed her croquet lawn to a temporary boardwalk. As Colleen and Maria Bell, Crystal Lourd and Kelly Katz slipped out of their heels to walk on the artificial dunes, Ginnifer Goodwin and Perrey Reeves kept cool in the shade. "It feels like a day at the beach, which is not a bad way to spend my day off," said Goodwin.

Victim was living with Mount Horeb police officer in Madison
MIDDLETON, Wis. — A Middleton man who is a former church music director and a Mount Horeb police officer are accused of sexually assaulting the same 14-year-old boy.
Middleton police said James A. "Alex" Gillespie, 48, of Middleton, is scheduled to make his initial appearance in Dane County Circuit Court Thursday on charges of sexual assault of a child.
The victim is a 14-year-old boy who had been missing from his Beloit home since October 2012, according to a Middleton Police Department news release.
Middleton police said the boy had been living with Dennis Jenks, a Mount Horeb police officer, on Raymond Road in Madison until contacted by Middleton detectives on Feb. 13.
Middleton detectives said they notified Madison police of the relationship between the victim and Jenks and then developed probable cause to charge Gillespie.
Gillespie is suspected of assaulting the victim in his home on Century Avenue, Middleton police said.
Police said their investigation of Gillespie began in December and continues. Gillespie is a former music director at St. Luke's Church in Middleton, police said.
Anyone who has information about Gillespie is asked to contact the Middleton Police Department.
Madison police arrested Jenks, 44, at his home in the 6600 block Raymond Road on Madison's far west side Feb. 13.
The criminal complaint against Jenks states that the 14-year-old boy told investigators he met Jenks on an online chat website and they met for the first time in September 2012. He said he moved in with Jenks in October and stayed until the day Jenks was arrested.
Jenks told an investigator when he questioned the boy about his age, the boy said he was 18. Jenks said he attempted, through various means, to confirm the boy's age but was unable to do so. The boy admitted to police he used a false name, according to the criminal complaint.
The boy told police he remembered Jenks telling him he was not trying to be rude with regard to his age, but that he could lose his job.
Jenks has been released on a signature bond. He is subject to bail monitoring and was ordered to have no contact with the victim.
Jenks is on unpaid suspension, according to the Mount Horeb police chief.
Jenks is a lieutenant in the Mount Horeb Police Department, and he has been employed with the department since 2000.
The Mount Horeb Police Department said it is conducting an internal investigation.

3 The triune God
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit comprise the one God. That God is triune from eternity is attested by the self-revelations of God within the history of salvation, which makes clear that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have existed, created, acted, and sustained from the beginning.
In the old covenant God predominantly revealed Himself as God, the Father, whereas the activity of the Son and the Holy Spirit was still largely concealed from mankind. From the perspective of the New Testament, Apostle Paul declares that the Son of God was already present when the people of Israel made their way through the desert (1 Corinthians 10: 4). Beyond that, both Mark 12: 36 and Hebrews 3: 7 state that the Holy Spirit already spoke in the old covenant.
The incarnation, death, and resurrection of the Son of God, as well as the sending of the Holy Spirit, allow believers to recognise God as triune. In John 16: 13-15, Jesus Christ underlines the workings of the trinity of God: that which belongs to the Son also belongs to the Father, and that which the Holy Spirit declares, He takes from the Father and the Son.
The triune God is one God in the fellowship of Father, Son, and Spirit. He seeks to make this fellowship of His accessible to mankind.
3.1 The nature of God Back to top
God, in His nature and activity, cannot be grasped by human understanding. Access to God in His omnipotence and greatness is only possible through faith. Jesus Christ revealed God to human beings as a loving, compassionate, and gracious Father, and enabled them to experience Him as such. Further revelations from God are given by the Holy Spirit who leads the faithful into the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 2: 6-16).
Characteristics of God's nature are: He is the One (the Only One), the Holy One, the Almighty, the Eternal, the Loving One, the Gracious One, the Righteous One, the Perfect One. God is neither unknown nor concealed. He inclines Himself to human beings, speaks to them, and allows them to speak to Him.
The description of the divine characteristics is to bring to expression the perfection and absoluteness of God, but all terms taken from the human sphere of experience will fail to do justice to the reality of God.
3.1.1 One God in three persons Back to top
The trinity of God is a mystery. The Trinitarian formula, "In the name of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit," does not use the plural "names", but the singular: "the name". The one God is the triune God. In His words to the Apostles, Jesus allowed them to recognise the trinity of God by stating that they were to baptise "in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28: 19). When we speak of God as "the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit", we do not imply that these are three different Gods, but rather three persons (hypostases), who are the One God.
3.1.2 God, the One Back to top
Belief in God as the One God is one of the fundamental professions of both the Old and New Testaments. God Himself spoke to Moses of His oneness and faithfulness to Himself, which is expressed in His name: "I AM WHO I AM" (Exodus 3: 14). The profession of God's uniqueness–"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!" (Deuteronomy 6: 4)–remained with the people of the old covenant throughout their entire history.
Although already stated unequivocally in the First Commandment–"You shall have no other gods before Me" (Exodus 20: 3)–it was a long time before Israel professed the uniqueness of God to the exclusion of all other gods and their worship. Again and again, the prophets had to reproach the people for worshipping other gods. In Isaiah 45: 21-22, we find the words of God: "And there is no other God besides Me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none besides Me. Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other." After their return from Babylonian captivity, profession of the one God (monotheism) entered into the consciousness of the Jews as the essential distinguishing feature between them and the Gentiles. To this day, the belief expressed in the Wisdom of Solomon has been a distinguishing feature of Judaism: "For neither is there any God but [Thee]" (Wisdom of Solomon 12: 13).
This profession is also firmly rooted in Christian faith, from the earliest apostolic congregations until the present. Apostle Paul advocated monotheism without restrictions of any kind. With a view to the polytheism of the Greek and Roman religions, he wrote: "Therefore ... we know that ... there is no other God but one" (1 Corinthians 8: 4).
3.1.3 God, the Holy One Back to top
In the Old Testament God is repeatedly described as "the Holy One" (Isaiah 43: 3; Jeremiah 50: 29; Habakkuk 1: 12). The holiness which is part of God's nature, being, and rule, refers to the fact that He is majestic, untouchable, and separate from the profane. This is also attested in Revelation 4: 8 with the words: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come" (Isaiah 6: 3). His word and His will are equally holy.
The nearness of God, the presence of the Holy One, which has been repeatedly experienced throughout the history of salvation, commands reverence for Him. That the presence of God is holy and that it demands reverence was experienced by Moses when he saw the burning bush and heard the voice of God: "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground" (Exodus 3: 5). The holiness of God sanctifies the place where He reveals Himself.
Participation in God's holiness is both a gift and a duty: "You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy" (Leviticus 19: 2; cf. 1 Peter 1: 15-16). Thus every believer is called upon to strive for holiness, which derives from the holiness of God. Thereby the name of God is "hallowed", which is also expressed in the Lord's Prayer: "Hallowed be Your name" (Matthew 6: 9).
3.1.4 God, the Almighty Back to top
The profession in the First Article of Faith–"I believe in God the Father, the Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth"–attests that God can do anything, that nothing is impossible for Him, and that for Him there are no restrictions whatsoever in the implementation of His will. In Psalm 135: 6 this is expressed as follows: "Whatever the Lord pleases He does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deep places."
God's omnipotence is also clearly shown to mankind in His creation, for by His word alone everything came into being from nothing (Hebrews 11: 3). In His omnipotence, God constitutes the beginning and the end: "'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,' says the Lord, 'who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty'" (Revelation 1: 8). The new creation will therefore also be an expression of God's omnipotence.
Jesus Christ also spoke of the omnipotence of God: "With God all things are possible" (Mark 10: 27). His omnipotence was also attested by the angels: "For with God nothing will be impossible" (Luke 1: 37).
The omnipotence of God incorporates His omnipresence and omniscience. The omniscience of God is referred to in Psalm 139: 2-4: "You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether." The same psalm also refers to God's omnipresence: "If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me" (verses 8-10).
3.1.5 God, the Eternal Back to top
God, "the Eternal", has neither beginning nor end. Temporal limitations do not exist for Him. "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God" (Psalm 90: 2). God is the Creator and Lord of time. Unlike the material world, which is subject to time, God defines time in a sovereign manner. He grants time and can also take it away.
The eternal nature of God transcends the horizon of human experience. It is infinite, however, it is not timeless. Rather, the past, present, and future are all equally current to God. That God is exalted over, and stands above, the dimension of time is implied in 2 Peter 3: 8: "But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
3.1.6 God, the Loving One Back to top
In the old as well as in the new covenant, God reveals Himself as the Loving One. Out of love He elected the people of Israel and freed them from Egyptian captivity. However, God not only revealed Himself as the Loving One to the people of Israel in this historical act, but ultimately to all mankind in Jesus Christ: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3: 16). God not only turns to the world in love, but God is love (1 John 4: 16).
3.1.7 God, the Gracious and Righteous One Back to top
God is the Gracious One. His grace is part of His righteousness. He shows mankind grace, compassion, patience, and kindness (Psalm 103: 8). In His righteousness, God granted His people grace even when they went astray or did not keep the covenant: "'With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,' says the Lord, your Redeemer" (Isaiah 54: 8).
That God is the Gracious One is demonstrated in the new covenant by the fact that He turns to human beings, who are entangled in sin, and forgives their sins. Apostle Paul attests that "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself" (2 Corinthians 5: 19). Through grace, God pronounces the unrighteous righteous, sinners receive forgiveness, and those in need of salvation are granted salvation, that is redemption.
God is righteous: "His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice" (Deuteronomy 32: 4). Statements like "For the wages of sin is death ..." (Romans 6: 23) or "Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgements" (Revelation 16: 7) are clear expressions of His righteousness. In the new covenant it is He who, through Jesus Christ, grants sinners justification which they did not earn (Romans 3: 24-26; 5: 18).
3.1.8 God, the Perfect One Back to top
God is perfect. He requires no improvement, change, or any further development. He is the Unchangeable One and is free from all conditions and constraints. His actions are not based on external necessity, but solely on His completely sovereign will.
God revealed Himself to Moses as the Perfect One who is completely identical with Himself: "I AM WHO I AM" (Exodus 3: 14).
The perfection of God is closely linked to His goodness: everything that occurs in God, everything that emanates from Him or is created by Him, is perfect and good. God's perfection is also demonstrated by the fact that there is absolutely no difference of any kind between His will and His actions, between His intentions and their execution. Nor is there any failure with God, or any other thing that would be imperfect in itself. The creation shares in God's perfection and goodness, and it is for this reason that God finds His creation to be "very good" (Genesis 1: 31).
The perfection of God also incorporates the truth. With God there is no lie, deception, or uncertainty. "The entirety of Your word is truth" (Psalm 119: 160). The divine word is reliable. God binds Himself to His promises and is true.
The truth of God corresponds with wisdom. God rules and fills the entire creation with it: "Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things" (Wisdom of Solomon 8: 1).
God's perfection can be directly experienced in Jesus Christ, "the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12: 2) because He is perfect in His speech and conduct. Jesus Christ is the example and teacher of that perfection for which mankind is to strive (Philippians 2: 5).
The "goal for the prize of the upward call of God" (Philippians 3: 14)–in other words, perfection–is of an eschatological nature. Sinful human beings may well strive for perfection, but they will not attain it. Once they have been accepted at the return of Christ and permitted to partake in the new creation God will ultimately allow human beings to share completely in His perfection.
SUMMARY Back to top
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are the one God, who has existed, created, acted, and sustained from the beginning. (3)
In His nature and activity, God cannot be grasped by human beings. Access to Him is only possible through faith. (3.1)
The one God is triune: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is not a reference to three Gods, but rather three persons (hypostases). (3.1.1)
Belief in the one God (monotheism) is among the fundamental professions of the Old and New Testaments, and is anchored in the Christian faith from the earliest apostolic congregations right up to the present. (3.1.2)
Holiness–majesty, inviolability, separation from the profane–is part of God's nature, being, and rule. His word and will are equally holy. (3.1.3)
God can do anything. There are no limitations of any kind for Him. His omnipotence also includes omniscience and omnipresence. (3.1.4)
God has neither beginning nor end. God's eternity is infinite, but not timeless. He is the Creator of time and thus superior to all dimensions of time. The past, present, and future are all equally current before Him. (3.1.5)
"God is love" (1 John 4: 16). He also shows Himself in history as a loving God. Above all, this becomes clear in the fact that He gave His Son for all humanity. (3.1.6)
God is the Gracious and Righteous One. He also demonstrates His grace in that He forgives sins. He grants the sinner righteousness through Jesus Christ. (3.1.7)
God is perfect. His works and ways are without flaw. His actions are based solely upon His completely sovereign will. God binds Himself to His promises and is true. God's perfection is directly perceptible in Jesus Christ. (3.1.8)
3.2 God–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Back to top
God has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Thus God can be recognised as the triune God. This self-revelation of God constitutes the basis for the doctrine of the Trinity. God's actions in history and creation are executed as the respective works of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God reveals Himself as Creator, Redeemer, Reconciler, and Maker of the new creation. God reveals His triune nature in Jesus' life–at His baptism, transfiguration, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension into heaven–as well as at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost: He is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The mystery of the divine Trinity comes to expression in various ways in the Old and New Testaments. However, Holy Scripture does not mention the term or provide any doctrine on the Trinity. This doctrine was recognised and formulated in the early church on the basis of biblical evidence.
3.2.1 References to the triune God in the Old Testament Back to top
The first reference to the activity of the triune God is recorded in the first account of creation (Genesis 1: 1-31; 2: 1-4). There it states: "And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters" (Genesis 1: 2) and also: "Then God said, 'Let us make man in Our image, according to our likeness'" (Genesis 1: 26). "Elohim", the designation for God used in the original Hebrew text, is plural. It means "the Divine" as well as "gods" and should be understood, in light of the gospel, as a reference to the triune God.
The various divine manifestations, for example "Angel of the Lord" (Genesis 16: 7-11, 13; Exodus 3: 2-5; Judges 6: 11-16), "Spirit of God" (Genesis 1: 2), or "Spirit of the Lord" (Judges 3: 10; 1 Samuel 16: 13) are also interpreted as references to the mystery of the trinity of God.
The events and references in which the number three appears also allude to the Trinity:
The three messengers of God who visited Abraham (Genesis 18) are understood in Christian tradition as a reference to the mystery of the divine Trinity.
The activity of the triune God in the priestly blessing from Numbers 6: 24-26 is interpreted in the same way: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you, the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace."
The angel's threefold praise in the inaugural vision of the prophet Isaiah is also considered an indication of God's trinity: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!" (Isaiah 6: 3).
3.2.2 References to the triune God in the New Testament Back to top
Although the New Testament does not contain a fully formulated doctrine of the Trinity, it nevertheless records events and formulations which clearly show the divine Trinity and its activity in the history of salvation. One example of the presence of the triune God can be found right at the beginning of Jesus' public activity, when, at His baptism, the Father and the Holy Spirit attest to the sending of the incarnate Son of God: "And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heaven parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven, 'You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased'" (Mark 1: 10-11). The Son of God, as is revealed here, works in unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are also mentioned in the commission to baptise, which Jesus Christ gave His Apostles before His ascension into heaven (Matthew 28: 18-19).
Indicators of the bond between the persons of the Trinity can be found in the gospel according to John, which speaks of the oneness between the Son and the Father, and where Jesus Christ says: "I and My Father are one" (John 10: 30; cf. John 1: 1, 18). The promise of the Holy Spirit also attests to the trinity of God (John 16: 13-15).
There are further references to God's trinity in the epistles of the New Testament. They can be found in the praises of God as well as in the wording of certain blessings. Accordingly, 1 Corinthians 12: 4-6 states: "There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all." This passage refers as much to the uniqueness of God as to the different self-revelations of the divine persons. That God's activity provides evidence of His Trinitarian nature is also attested in Ephesians 4: 4-6: "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." The salvific activity of the triune God is referenced in 1 Peter 1: 2: "... according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ."
A clear reference to God's triune nature is found in the wording of the blessing at the end of the second epistle to the Corinthians: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen" (2 Corinthians 13: 13).
3.2.3 The development of the doctrine of the Trinity Back to top
The recognition of God's triune nature and its doctrinal presentation already began shortly after the New Testament Scriptures had been written. To express these interrelations linguistically, ancient philosophical terms like "person" or "hypostasis", as well as "substance", were used. Formulating the doctrine of the Trinity served, on one hand, to put into words the understanding gained through faith, and on the other, to protect the faith against heretics who sought to convey an image of God which did not correspond to the testimony of the New Testament. The doctrine of the Trinity was formulated during the first councils of the fourth and fifth centuries.
The term "Trinity" was coined by Theophile of Antioch, who lived in the second half of the second century, but it was the church leader Tertullian (ca. AD 160-220) who made it popular. Tertullian emphasised the oneness of God: "one [divine] substance in three persons" (Latin: una substantia tres personae). He was also the first to apply the term "person" to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Council of Nicaea (AD 325) explicitly enshrined the divine oneness of substance of the Father and Son. The direct reason behind this was the doctrine of Arius (died AD 336), who argued that the pre-existent Son was created by the Father from nothing, which therefore constituted God's first act of creation. In opposition to this view, the council insisted that the Son was not created, but has been, from all eternity, part of the triune God.
This dispute, known as the "Arian controversy", did not come to an end with the Council of Nicaea, but went on until the Council of Constantinople in AD 381. This council brought to expression that the Holy Spirit is as much a divine person–and true God–as the Father and the Son.
In the following years, the doctrine of the Trinity was, with few exceptions, generally accepted by Christendom. The deliberations over the doctrine of the Trinity had, however, not been concluded. Particularly under the influence of the Church Father Augustine (AD 354-430), the Western Church later emphasised that the Holy Spirit emanates equally from both the Father and the Son. In contrast, the Eastern Church maintained an older version of the Creed of Nicaea-Constantinople, which states that the Holy Spirit emanates from the Father through the Son.
The Reformers adopted the belief in the Trinity of God from the early church (second to sixth century). With the exception of the aforementioned divergent interpretation concerning the Holy Spirit, the doctrine of the Trinity is common to all Christian churches. It is among the most fundamental statements of the Christian faith and is an essential feature that distinguishes it from the two other Abrahamic religions, Judaism and Islam.
At the eleventh church synod of Toledo (AD 675) it was proclaimed: "The Father is the same as the Son, the Son the same as the Father, the Father and the Son the same as the Holy Spirit, namely by nature one God."
3.2.4 The unity of the three divine persons Back to top
Christians profess the one triune God. Each of the divine persons–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit–is true God. The Christian faith states that God–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit–has always existed, namely from eternity.
Accordingly, "Father", "Son", and "Holy Spirit" are not merely names that designate various modes of being and revelation of God. Rather the three names stand for divine persons who are different from one another in their being. The Father is actually not the same as the Son, and the Son not the same as the Father. The Holy Spirit is not the same as the Father or the Son. This is because the "Father" is the begetter, the "Son" the begotten one, and the "Holy Spirit" the one emanating from both.
The three divine persons are continually interrelated and are eternally one. The distinctiveness of the three divine persons does not dissolve God's oneness, for they are one nature, or substance. In them there is no contradiction of will. The Father is entirely in the Son, entirely in the Holy Spirit. The Son is entirely in the Father, entirely in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is entirely in the Father, entirely in the Son.
Christians profess that all acts of God in creation, salvation, and the new creation are acts of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. While all divine acts are, at the same time, acts of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, they are not always carried out in the same manner. Whereas creation was an act of God the Father and God the Son, it was neither God the Father nor God the Holy Spirit, but God the Son alone, who became incarnate. It was neither the Father nor the

Disputes over web domain ownership are expected to hit a record this year as the growing importance of online shopping triggers a wave of legal challenges from owners of famous brands.
In one current case, Gucci is insisting that it, rather than an anonymous e-commerce company, should have control of the guccishoponline.org domain name.
A key driver of the disputes is the rise of "cybersquatters" in China, who register the names of web domains linked to famous brands so they can either sell counterfeit goods or demand money from the brand owner before they relinquish ownership.
Famous brands that have taken up cases in the past 12 months include Swarovski, Armani, Burberry, Cartier and Dior. The World Intellectual Property Organisation (Wipo), which acts as the final adjudicator in arguments over who should be given control of a web domain, decided on nearly 3,000 cases in the 12 months to July 2012, the highest figure since 2007, according to the legal information provider Sweet & Maxwell.
Wipo's own figures suggest it is on course to give a record number of judgments for the whole of 2012. In 2011 it adjudicated on 2,764 cases, but by this August it had already decided on 1,931 cases, with one of the busiest periods of the year still ahead.
Sweet & Maxwell says that this year Gucci has brought six cases before Wipo to win control of more than 100 domains, such as cheapguccionsale.com and guccishoponline.org. The Austrian luxury brand Swarovski has brought, and won, 32 cases since 2010.
Apple, too, has been active, filing and winning a case in May for control of the iphone5.com domain name, even though it has no product with that name.
John Olsen, partner at the law firm Edwards Wildman, said: "As online retail becomes more profitable, household name brands are taking the defence of their domain names much more seriously. They are doing all that they can to protect their revenue streams. Domain names are the key to the door of online retail."
The number of disputes could rise even further with the introduction next year of a completely new set of domains. Google has already applied for more than a hundred domain extensions, including ".youtube".

Fixed Drive Conveyor Roller Series 3500 heavy
Driven unit handling conveying, such as transport of cardboards, containers, barrels or tires.
The use of polyamide drive heads results in very quiet running.
The tube ends are rounded, thereby allowing materials to be easily moved on from the side. Axial forces are removed through ball bearings and seals.
An axial fixation of the bearing assembly (bearing housing, ball bearing, seal) on the non-drive side can be accomplished in several ways. For the design with steel tube, the bearing assembly is pressed into the tube and then flanged. For the design with PVC tube, it is fitted with a groove inside the tube in which the press-in edge of the bearing housing engages. For the designs with PolyVee and round belt, the drive bearing assembly is also pressed into the tube and then flanged.
With a permanently installed bearing housing for a tube diameter of 50 and 60 mm, insertable polyamide drive heads, such as sprocket, toothed belt and flat belt heads, are interchangeable and can also be exchanged with friction heads. Numerous drive versions are available with flat, PolyVee, round or toothed belts as well as chains.

Article content
It seems so long ago that the NHL threw the book at Raffi Torres, you wonder if it was a stone tablet. … for a head shot on Howie Morenz.
It's been nine months and counting since the league last let the six-time offender play a game.
The sentence was 21 games for a hellacious hit in the playoffs that sent Chicago's Marian Hossa to the hospital on a stretcher, but between the off-season, the 113-day lockout and the first eight games of this season, it's like the Coyotes winger has been serving it in dog years.
"Nine months, is that was it is," said the former Edmonton Oiler, who's finally eligible to return Saturday against Dallas.
"That's one thing we weren't doing at home, keeping track of things. We just took one day at a time, enjoyed my family and tried not to focus on hockey.
"I learned a lot about myself, how I handle adversity and what it's going to take to bounce back. Off the ice I've done all the proper things to get my game to the next level. I'm in a good place now."
Nine months, that's long enough to have a child. Literally.
"We had another boy," grinned Torres. "I wasn't playing hockey, but I'll never get that time back, the first few months with my boy, so I'm happy about that."
It's not so much the last nine months he has to worry about, it's the last 20 years. It used to be that the kind of wrecking ball hits Torres specialized in were considered great. Highlight reel stuff. Now, they'll get him run out of the league.
"The game's changed and I have to realize that," he said. "I don't want to be pushed out of this game for the wrong reasons. I just have to make some changes, play within the lines."
So while most players have been studying game film of forechecking systems and defensive zone coverage, Torres and Phoenix head coach Dave Tippett have been developing frame-by-frame strategies for not getting banned for life.
"I went through about 50 clips with him yesterday," said Tippett. "When you look at the reckless part of his game, put it in clips, it's boom! Boom! Boom! So, you ask 'Raf, why did you go there?' And he says 'To hit him.'
"And why did you go there?' 'To hit him.'
"And why did you go there? 'To hit him.'
"But that's what he's been brought up to do and five years ago that was his role. I remember the year Edmonton went to the finals, he was unbelievable. He was a staple of their team.
"Those hits didn't used to be bad, but now they're bad, I think he understands that. That's the way the game is evolved and you have to change with the game.
"Then you put in the other file, where he he uses his body to protect the puck or uses his strength along the boards … he has a great shot and he's hard to contain going to the net. He can be an effective power forward, we just need to take the reckless out.
"He'll have to find his way. I think it's going to be a work in progress, but this was severe enough that he's recognized he's going to have to change to be an NHL player."
Torres knows the days predatory hits on unsuspecting opponents are pretty much over because he's knows he's on the NHL's To-Do List, and will return to the game on double-secret probation.
"Obviously, running out of position to make a hit is going to be a non-factor because there is going to be a target on my back. I'll have to focus on rubbing guys out. I know I can make plays and be creative and I can put the puck in the net when I get opportunities.
"I can't afford to have something like that happen again. There are some things I have to change if I want to keep playing in this league."

A Day at the Races
America's passion for horse racing began in 1665, with the opening of the first racetrack in the colonies in Long Island, N.Y. The sport grew especially popular in the Middle Atlantic and Southern states, where many horse farms and tracks still exist today. By 1750 the distinct breed of Thoroughbred was developed from crossing English mares with Arabian and Turkish stallions to produce a horse known for its speed and agility.
After the Civil War, the Golden Age of Racing was ushered in as the sport became organized with the opening of numerous racetracks. The added enticement of betting also helped to attract a wider audience. Classic races debuted in the last quarter of the 19th century, most notably the Kentucky Derby in 1875.
Not only was Thoroughbred racing offered but harness racing and steeplechases also. Harness racing, at first a rural pastime, began to be featured at county fairs by 1825. A different breed of horse, the Standardbred, is used for its stamina and durability. In this contest, a jockey needs to skillfully guide the horse and the sulky (a two-wheeled cart weighing about 40 pounds) through the congested area of the track. Steeplechase races originated from the English sport of fox hunting and include hurdles and obstacles. These three types of races still delight fans today.

Man, I wish Hasbro would just step up and give us some clarification on all kinds of different things
They sort of talked about them as two different things, which was news to me as well. The "chase" figures being the foil cardbacks, and the "Bounty Hunt" being the George Lucas promotion dealio. Maybe I misunderstood, but that's kind of what I gathered from it.
Still, people need to band together with local collectors, team up and get those sets if you want the exclusive... I know I do, as odd as it is, but if these turn out hard to find it'll be a mess no matter what it is... Packaging for (*gulp*) figures, that are the real "bounty hunt" item.

Which is precisely why 100% recording in the call center industry is simultaneously one of our best tools and our biggest nightmares. Because you just never know what sort of crazy crap you are going to hear.
For example......how about THIS?
The entire time I listened to this the only thing that kept going through my mind was that I was so happy that I wasn't the manager having to explain this incompetence. Whew. Not my turn int he barrel. This time.

Pestano pulled from eighth-inning relief role
CLEVELAND -- Manager Terry Francona believes that his team is best aligned when right-hander Vinnie Pestano is in charge of locking down the eighth inning.
In light of his recent struggles, though, Pestano has been pulled from regular eighth-inning duty, but Francona feels he'll regain that critical role soon enough.
"We'll try to set him up where he can have some success and let him start getting some confidence," Francona said, "because I really do think when he's in the eighth inning, pitching well, that's our best team. At the moment we probably need to do something different."
Prior to Monday's game against the Tigers, Francona noted that sidearmer Joe Smith -- typically responsible for the seventh inning -- will temporarily take over as the primary setup man for closer Chris Perez. Francona plans on finding spots to mix in Pestano with the hope of getting the reliever on a roll again.
Pestano, who set the Indians' single-season franchise record with 36 holds a year ago, dealt with discomfort in his right elbow earlier this season and has been inconsistent since returning to the bullpen in May. In 21 games since coming off the disabled list, he has an uncharacteristically high 5.66 ERA to go along with a .289 opponents' batting average.
Pestano, 28, surrendered three runs in two-thirds of an inning against Detroit on Sunday, giving him a 7.04 ERA over his past eight appearances. For the season he has a 4.71 ERA with 30 strikeouts and 16 walks in 28 2/3 innings.
Pestano has been working through some mechanical adjustments lately -- his arm angle and release point were off following his return from the DL -- but he was blunt on Sunday when discussing what he needs to do.
"I've just got to get back to attacking guys," Pestano said. "Quit pitching scared and quit trying to miss bats. Just go out there and throw the ball and let what's going to happen, happen. Right now it seems like when I'm throwing the ball, I'm trying to make the outcome happen instead of just going out there and pounding the strike zone."
Across the 2011-12 seasons, Pestano posted a 2.45 ERA with 160 strikeouts in 132 innings for the Indians. That is the kind of pitcher Francona hopes to have back in the eighth inning in the near future.
"We've seen glimpses of the old Vinnie, but there's been some inconsistencies," Francona said. "We're going to try to pitch him in games where maybe we think it sets up a little better for him. We'll try to get that confidence rolling, because I think that's part of it.
"And then, once he gets back on a roll, then we'll get him back where it's a designated role."
