NEW YORK, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- The Republic of Congo has declared a new national park to protect a population of 125,000 western lowland gorillas, a U.S. conservation group says.
The Wildlife Conservation Society, based in New York, reported the 1,765-square-mile Ntokou-Pikounda National Park will safeguard the western lowland gorillas as well as around 850 elephants and 950 chimpanzees.
"The Republic of Congo has shown the world its commitment to protect the largest population of gorillas on the planet," WCS President Cristian Samper said. "We commend the Congolese government for its leadership and foresight to set aside lands so that wildlife can flourish."
After the discovery by WCS researchers in 2008 of more than 125,000 western lowland gorillas in northern Republic of Congo, the government pledged to protect the Ntokou-Pikounda landscape with an eventual national park.
Western lowland gorillas are one of four recognized gorilla sub-species, along with mountain gorillas, eastern lowland gorillas and Cross River gorillas, and all are considered endangered, a WCS release said Thursday.

Brazilian Model Almost Dies After Trying To Break The World Record For Largest Breasts! (Implants Containd A Gallon Of Silicone
"A MODEL with the largest breasts in the world is fighting for her life — following an operation to make them even BIGGER. Brazilian Sheyla Hershey, 30, had surgery last month to boost her cleavage — despite already having a record-breaking 38KKK bust. The blonde, who lives in Houston, Texas, suffered complications following the op, which left her struggling to breathe and bed-ridden. Yesterday she was forced to have emergency surgery to repair the damage. Docs were expected to remove her implants — and faced the possibility of removing the model's own breasts altogether. Sheyla, who is fluent in five languages - Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and English, said before going into surgery: "I had a large fever and it was painful (after last month's operation). "

Gulf Coast lawmakers and environmental officials are cautiously weighing rumors that the federal government may steer money from a BP settlement on oil spill environmental fines away from the Restore Act.
Gulf Coast lawmakers and environmental officials are cautiously weighing rumors that the federal government may steer money from a BP settlement on oil spill environmental fines away from the Restore Act.
The long-fought-for bill would have divided BP Clean Water Act fines among Gulf Coast states to be used for environmental and economic recovery.
But news reports from Alabama last week citing unnamed officials briefed by the federal Department of Justice said settlement talks were favoring putting money toward the Natural Resources Damage Assessment, a program that focuses solely on making up for natural resources damage from the spill. Dollars from the Restore Act are direct fines that would be paid back to the coast and could be spend more freely on locally chosen projects.
The reports prompted a bipartisan group of Gulf Coast senators, including U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., to raise objections in a letter to the Justice Department and President Barack Obama.
The senators suggested that such a settlement would circumvent the intent of Congress when it passed the Restore Act.
"These are separate penalties assessed under separate statutes, and undermining recovery attained through one by diverting fines to the other simply is not appropriate," the senators wrote in their letter. "The RESTORE Act passed with broad bipartisan support, clearly illustrating the will of Congress — and the millions of Gulf Coast residents we represent — that the significant Clean Water Act penalties owed should be directed toward the Gulf's ecological and economic recovery under the local input and control guidelines established by the law."
U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., did not sign the letter.
Louisiana might actually benefit from a settlement that favored the Natural Resources Damage Assessment because the state took the majority of environmental impact from the spill, coastal advocates said.
Simone Maloz, executive director of Restore or Retreat, said she's heard Louisiana might stand to gain twice as much restoration money than previously thought if the settlement favors the Natural Resources Damage Assessment.
Officials have said the negotiations are a trade-off that could possibly get more money to the Gulf Coast. The money BP pays through the Natural Resources Damage Assessment can be written off as tax credits.
Because the negotiations are secret, it's hard for anyone to know how serious or legitimate the suggestions are that the settlement might favor the Natural Resources Damage Assessment.
But just a month ago, the Justice Department announced in a court filing that it would pursue holding BP responsible for "gross negligence and willful misconduct" in the spill, which would result in the heftiest fines under the Clean Water Act.
Brian Moore, legislative director for the National Audubon Society, said that seemed to be a signal that the federal government was going to aggressively pursue Clean Water Act fines.
Environmental groups said the federal government should not let BP off the hook, and go after the largest fines it can under all environmental laws that were violated.
"This was the single largest act of pollution we've seen in our country, and those responsible should pay for it," Moore said. "Eleven people died, and record oil washed up on the shores of the Gulf Coast. If that's not gross negligence, I don't know what is."
Both the Clean Water Act and the Natural Resources Damage Assessment have different objectives, and the parties responsible for the spill, including BP, should be held fully accountable under both, Gulf Coast lawmakers wrote to the Justice Department and Obama.
"Complete ecological and economic recovery of the Gulf Coast can only occur if just penalty amounts are assessed under every applicable statute," the senators wrote. "Accordingly, we urge you to negotiate a robust settlement that does not achieve a higher amount under one of these statutes at the expense of the other."

I am French/Northern African (from Algeria) but also black. Northern African does not equate to being Arab. If you have been to Morocco or Algeria, you would then know that we come in all shades,colors, complexion, etc. and are from various ethnic backgrounds ( Berbers, Tuareg, Cabiles). Let's face it Northern Africans are mixed no matter how much you look at it, it is a known fact. You can be white, caramel, brown, yellow, high yellow and everything in between. You should know this if you have been there. One thing to bear in mind is that we are not Arabs either but Northern African ( huge distinction). Study your history, we were colonized and heavily influenced by Arabs and although we speak Arabic we ARE NOT Arabs. Now, I happen to be clearly a woman of color ( no doubt about it) thus I feel extremely comfortable applying as a URM, oh and with only 2% of Algerians in the US, I think I speak from experience when I say that we are truly underrepresented.
If someone's parents are from North Africa, can they claim URM status as an African American?
It is vey sad that such a situation exists where a few people are granted the URM status but a selected few are not. The topic if discussed will lead to religious arguments. It would be better if the current URM status is not allowed to African Americans or if it is granted to all Africans. Peace. Check her for details of my work.

It's a miracle that the oldest part of Frankfurt's downtown survived World War II unscathed and visitors and locals are still grateful for this. The medieval houses and beautiful squares make the historic centre a romantic setting for shopping, eating and drinking.
Frankfurt may be one of the financial centres of the world with ultra-modern, gleaming high-rise buildings, but the historic centre on the Main – the river that flows through the city – still evokes the days of carriages and goose quill pens. Stroll through narrow streets with medieval façades to the Römerberg, a market square packed with old cafés and beautiful shops. The square is lined with beautiful historic buildings; the old city hall is one of the most striking constructions.
Because of its high rises and financial institutions, Frankfurt is also referred to as Main-hattan. You will understand why when you take the lift to the top of the Main Tower. This skyscraper, the only one that is accessible to the public, rises 200 metres above sea level. The Main Tower is not the tallest building in the city but its central location ensures great views over Frankfurt and in particular the old town, which is located at the foot of the building.
Plan your walking tours from the tower's large panorama terrace, or enjoy a snack and a drink in the restaurant on the top floor. Admission to the tower costs 6.50 euro for adults, a family of 2 parents and 2 children between 6 and 12 years pays 17.50 euro. Tip: book a tour of the fascinating artwork belonging to the Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen, one of the tower's prominent tenants.
"You will find art and culture on every street corner of Frankfurt's historical centre"
The Germans are very proud of Frankfurt's city centre. And because it takes effort to protect the historic centre, the city decided to embark on an ambitious project to preserve the vulnerable brick houses for the future. The renovation has been going on for years and so far has cost more than 100 million euros. To date, 35 centuries-old houses on the old market square have been fully reconstructed and the square itself has been restored to its original condition.
Frankfurt's Altstadt is one of Germany's largest medieval city centres. Throughout history many famous thinkers, poets and composers were drawn to the city. The coffee houses in this charming heart of Frankfurt attracted enlightened minds such as writer, poet and statesman Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, writer Clemens Brentano, and composer Georg Philipp Teleman. Their spirit still permeates this district, which for many centuries has been dedicated to culture. Step inside Goethe's house, or visit different art galleries and cafés where presentations and lectures are held. Museum visitors can treat themselves to the MMK (Museum of Modern Art), the History Museum and the Caricatura Museum. The latter museum is devoted entirely to 'comic art' and will surely put a smile on your face.

At P & R contractors, we're strongly committed to providing our customers with the very best tarmac services in West Hunsbury. Working with both the private and public sector, we take pride in our workmanship and strive for excellence on every job. All work is carried out by fully qualified and insured professionals with no compromise on quality, and all of our materials are laid to British Standards. Our tarmacadam services in West Hunsbury include reconstruction, overlay, repairs and maintenance.
Also known as tarmacadam and asphalt in West Hunsbury, tarmac is a cost effective solution to replacing or widening an existing driveway, or simply installing a new driveway for the first time. A well designed and expertly laid driveway can completely transform your home, creating a finished appearance and even adding value to your property. A driveway shouldn't just be functional - It's often the first thing that people notice about your home, and, as such, it should be a perfect blend of style and practicality. New tarmac can completely transform your driveway, creating the perfect first impression for any property.
To enhance the appearance of a tarmac driveway in West Hunsbury, it can be edged with block paving to create a framework for the tarmac. You can even match the border to the house decor to bring the whole front garden together. With an array of designs, colours and finishes to choose from, P & R Contractors have something to suit everyone's tastes.
The most popular tarmacs come in three finishes:
6mm Smooth Tarmac
The 6mm relates to the maximum size of the aggregate used in its mixture. This mixture gives a brilliant smooth finish, perfect for the average domestic driveway.
10mm Smooth Tarmac
The 10mm again relates to the maximum size of the aggregate used in its mixture. Like the 6mm, this mixture gives an excellent smooth finish, perfect for a domestic driveway which takes heavy traffics, e.g. small car parks, or houses with a number of cars or heavy duty 4x4s.
20mm Tarmac
The 20mm Tarmac is for much heavier usage, including roads and major car parks. This is rarely used in a domestic environment, but is still an option in some exceptional cases.
Before deciding which option is best for you, our fully qualified staff will take into consideration the traffic type, drainage, gradient, friction and access. Every minor detail is checked to ensure we deliver the perfect finish with minimum disruption, so you can relax knowing that your property is in safe hands.
As well as driveways, we also offer tarmac services for other paving projects including car parks, cycle paths, pavements and even tennis courts. Our tarmac pavers and rollers come in a variety of widths, allowing us to work on any size project.
Some of our services include:
Repairing surfaces damaged by potholes, tree roots, excessive use (particular from large vehicles), and old age. This usually includes the complete removal of the damaged area down to the base, with new tarmac put back in place.
This is the best solution for when the original tarmac is in good condition but you want a new look. It's considerably less expensive than completely replacing your existing driveway, and will still add years to your driveway surface. In order for an overlay to take place, any potholes or damaged areas must be repaired beforehand. With good maintenance, an overlay can last for 12 years+.
This includes completely removing the existing tarmac down to the sub-base level and re-paving with new tarmac. This process is normally considered to be the 'end-all' solution to existing tarmac problems. The life expectancy of re-construction is generally 15 – 20 years plus. This number can dramatically increase depending on the traffic usage.
Seal Coating and Re-Striping
Both of these are easy and inexpensive ways to rejuvenate the tarmac surfaces of car parks. The clean, black surface can make a car park look brand new again.
Whichever option you choose, you can expect full site management, including milling, excavation, hardscaping, landscaping, and lighting. For more information, please call and speak to one of our friendly members of staff who will be happy to advise you on the best surfacing solution for you.

1990 Ford Bronco - Bronco a la ShanePosted in Features on January 11, 2011
You are not what you own. At the same time, what you own is often an outward expression of who you are. Poway, California's Shane Casad is an adventurer and has a '90 fullsize Ford Bronco to match.
"I had a Jeep Cherokee," Shane said. "It worked well, and I took good care of it. The way things have gone for me, whenever I've had a reliable vehicle and I've sold it for something else, I've run into trouble with the new vehicle. I call it 'messing with success.'"
Despite the good run he'd had with the Cherokee, Shane decided to tempt fate anyway. "I decided I wanted something bigger with more interior space. I wanted to be able to sleep inside. I felt like the Bronco would be a solid vehicle and would be perfect for what I like to do," he told us.
Shane's "messing with success" paradigm played out the way he'd feared, as the Bronco needed a new engine not too long after he got the keys. Was it worth it? Even with the hassles, Shane's answer is a resounding "yes."
As mentioned, Shane likes to explore. "I can't stand just sitting in one place," he said. "If a trail has a tough section, that's cool with me, but I'm not one to spend a whole afternoon trying a single set of obstacles. I like to go places." At the top of the "places" list is the Mojave National Preserve, followed closely by Death Valley, the "Old Dale" mining district next to Joshua Tree National Park, and Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area. Our photo shoot took place during an adventure that threaded its way high up into the Inyo Mountains and down into Death Valley.
This Bronco was built just right for its intended purpose. Many trail-style fullsize Broncos end up with a solid axle up front. Many prerunner-style Broncos end up with girthy track widths. Shane's Bronco has neither. Instead, he's got long-travel front Twin Traction Beam suspension that's still stock width. Why stay stock width? Lonely dirt roads get narrow from time to time, and errant brush always encroaches from the trail's edge. The rear suspension's got a similar story. The stock 8.8 rearend was fitted with 4.56 gears and a Detroit Locker, and sits under a pair of long-travel Deaver leaf springs. All four corners are damped by Bilstein shocks.
The build doesn't end with the suspension. The interior is also part of the master plan. For now, it's largely stock, and that means it's versatile. When the cargo space is cleared there's enough room for sleeping in the back. Nothing beats a fullsize fold-down tailgate when it's time for trailside cooking. There's probably a full rollcage in the future, but it needs to be built in a way that minimally impacts the overall utility. What will that look like? We're as curious as you are.
If you like exploring in a fullsize, it's tough to beat a Bronco for value and function. If you need a rig that can creep along in low range as well as blister the backroads, check out the way Shane built his. If you see Shane in the dirt, you'll have only one problem: trying to keep up.

Staff reports
STAMFORD -- A former Stamford man who pleaded guilty two months ago to risk of injury to a minor and second-degree sexual assault charges for having sex with a 14-year-old girl in 2005 was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in jail Friday.
Mario Estrada, 32, of Waltham, Mass., was sentenced by Judge Bruce Hudock, who told him he will have to remain on the state's online sex offender registry for 10 years and spend another 15 years on probation after he gets out of jail. Estrada's public defender, Barry Butler, said he assumes Estrada will be deported to his native Guatemala.
Estrada has been in a Connecticut jail since late February, after city police were notified by Massachusetts authorities that Estrada had been charged with drunk driving in Cambridge on Dec. 25, 2011. Massachusetts police knew he was wanted in Stamford because police had a warrant for his arrest.
Lt. Diedrich Hohn said the girl and her family complained to police two days after Estrada had sex with her on Dec. 15, 2005. Estrada then fled Stamford.
The girl was in court Friday and watched Estrada's sentencing, but declined comment after the hearing.

It's dove time in Southeast Texas
Dove season opened in both the central and north zones of Texas on Sept. 1. Teal season then opens in Texas on Sept. 15. There is a lot of interest hereabouts in both of these openings. In fact, several of the local outfitters had their dove hunts booked for opening weekend for several weeks.
I have contacted several of the outfitters that offer dove hunts, and they have told me basically the same thing. Shane Chesson with the Drake Plantation, Jim West with Bolivar Guide Service, and Bobby McGill with Central Flyway Outfitters all hunt harvested grain fields. The doves normally head into those fields as well as into brush-hogged weed fields. The small seeds are just what the birds look forward to when feeding is on their minds. The only problem seems to be that with our needed rains, the seeds that are on the ground could begin to sprout. Once that happens, the doves will go elsewhere. All of the outfitters are booking hunts because even with sprouted seed, the hunting should be excellent for bagging the doves.I would highly recommend taking along some insect repellent, or what I prefer, the Thermacell. We are all now aware of the major outbreak of West Nile virus and fever caused by mosquitoes.
It would also be prudent to keep a sharp watch for poisonous snakes. These seem to be on the move this time of year. The cottonmouth water moccasin is probably the more prevalent, but there are rattlesnakes as well as copperheads there at times. There is rarely any problem with the snakes, but it is a good idea to watch closely where you are walking or when you are retrieving a downed bird.
Should you plan to take your retriever along on the hunt, be sure there is plenty of water available. Natural water is fine, but if there is none available where you plan to hunt, make sure you take some along with you. During the warm days, it is necessary to take plenty of water along for yourself.
There are several subspecies of doves that enjoy our area. The most prevalent is normally the mourning doves. There has been a really heavy influx of whitewing doves in some of our local hunting areas. Both of these doves are regulated by seasons and bag limits. There are also the Eurasian doves that are much like exotic animals in that there is no limit or closed season for them. Learn to identify each of these birds so that there is no mistake made that can cause you to pay a fine.
The bag limit for mourning and whitewings is 15 daily in the aggregate. The seasons vary in the north, central and south zones, so get a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Handbook and learn when the seasons are open. There is a special whitewing season in the south zone.

By the way, fishing for speckled trout continued to improve, so don't overlook that action. Also new hunting and fishing licenses were due Sept. 1.

Lucic, Krejci lead Bruins past Starsby Steve Hunt
DALLAS -- After there were no goals for nearly 40 minutes, David Krejci's goal in the waning moments of the second period set up a wild third period.
Krejci, Patrice Bergeron and Milan Lucic each had a goal and an assist for the Boston Bruins, who got 32 saves from backup goaltender Chad Johnson in a 4-2 win against the Dallas Stars on Thursday at American Airlines Center.
"I thought it was a really hard-fought game," Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara said. "We had a couple of bad bounces again going against us, but we found a way to score some at the right time of the game. That got us a huge win."
Krejci's goal on a one-timer from the bottom of the right circle four seconds before the second intermission ended the scoreless deadlock. When Stars defenseman Alex Goligoski tried to clear the puck off the boards, the carom went to Lucic in the corner, and he quickly flipped it to Krejci, who scored his 10th goal with a shot that beat Kari Lehtonen over his blocker.
"You want to get out of that period," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "I thought all we needed was a little better coverage and not allowing that pass out of the corner."
Dallas answered when Erik Cole scored on the power play 1:18 into the third, but Boston regained the lead when Brad Marchand put home his own rebound two minutes later.
Lucic put the Bruins ahead 3-1 with the eventual game-winner when he tipped in Krejci's shot on the power play at 15:46. It was his 13th goal.
Dallas cut it to 3-2 when captain Jamie Benn slipped in a rebound with 1:11 left, but Bergeron hit the empty net netter with 16 seconds remaining.
It appeared Boston took an early lead when Gregory Campbell put the puck in the net 3:31 into the first period. However, video review determined Campbell used a distinct kicking motion to knock the puck in after Dallas defenseman Trevor Daley failed to clear the puck.
During a first-period stoppage, a message on the scoreboard thanked Boston right wing Loui Eriksson, who was traded to the Bruins in the offseason in the deal that brought Tyler Seguin to the Stars, for his years with Dallas. The former fan favorite garnered huge applause from the crowd.
"I missed it actually because we had to talk to the coach there during that intermission," Eriksson said. "I heard it was nice. I heard the cheers and everything, so it was nice to hear."
Lehtonen made a pair of big saves in the first period. He robbed Boston's Torey Krug with a glove save on a blistering slap shot from the left circle at 4:29, then denied Marchand on a breakaway at 14:15.
"He was really good," Lucic said of Lehtonen. "We get the late goal in the second period, but before that it seemed like it was going to be a tough night to beat him, and it was. Fortunately, we were able to find a way to beat him, especially when he was on his game tonight."
Chara inadvertently poked Johnson in the eye at 12:28 of the second period, drawing blood under the goalie's left eye. However, after a member of the Boston training staff tended to him, Johnson was able to remain in the game.
"I didn't know how serious it was, but he just came back," Bruins coach Claude Julien said of Johnson's injury. "He's got that little cut there on the side of his eye. He was good tonight. I thought he played a real solid game and was square to the puck all night long -- good outing for him.
Cole tied it early in the second on a fortuitous power-play goal from the left circle. He had been pushed to the ice by Chara in front of the Boston net, and as he was getting up, a pass from Seguin deflected off his stick for his 13th goal.
The Stars went 1-for-6 on the power play. Boston was 1-for-4.
"We still had too many turnovers, giving up too many odd-man rushes," Dallas center Vernon Fiddler said.
Marchand scored a rather soft goal on Lehtonen to put Boston ahead for good. After Bergeron was able to poke the puck away from Cole in the corner, Marchand skated in from the right side. Lehtonen denied Marchand's initial effort, but the Boston agitator was able to tap in his own rebound for his 12th goal.
Lehtonen, who stopped 37 shots, left the game with 1:13 remaining in favor of a sixth attacker, but the Stars were unable to score before Bergeron's empty-netter.
Dallas finished its three-game homestand 1-2-0.
"We made mistakes," Ruff said. "We lost some wall battles that led to a couple of goals."

Most large power (and many small distribution) transformer installations provide all three phases. Sometimes they do so with three single-phase units, sometimes with one 3-phase unit. In either case, there are six windings, three on the primary and three on the secondary side.
Each set of the three windings will connect in either wye or delta. Each winding of a wye-connected transformer connects to a neutral junction. Power lines connect to the other ends of these windings. Windings of a delta-connected transformer connect in series. Power lines connect to each pair of winding ends, where the ends join.
You can calculate output voltage in the wye-to-wye and delta-to-delta connections simply by applying the turns ratio rules for single-phase transformer connections. In Part 1, we explained the secondary voltage is the primary voltage divided by the turns ratio and the secondary current is the primary current times the turns ratio.
However, in the wye-to-delta and delta-to-wye arrangements, two other rules also apply:
• Current divides in delta (CD), and
• Voltage divides in wye (VW).
You can remember these relationships by thinking "I like to play CDs in my VW." "CD" means that in a delta connection, current in any winding is less than the current in the phase by a factor of 1.73. To find the current in a winding, divide the current in the phase by 1.73. Voltage across a delta winding is the same as the voltage going into the winding.
"VW" means in a wye connection, voltage across a winding is less than the voltage in the phase by a factor of 1.73. To find the voltage across the wye winding, divide the voltage in the phase by 1.73. Current in the windings is the same as the current in the phases.
Using these rules and the rules for turns ratios, you can calculate the input and output voltages for any 3-phase transformer connection.


text: Hi, I'm trying to get cakephp working with ISPConfig3 and nginx (loosely following http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-opensuse-12.2-x86_64-nginx-dovecot-ispconfig-3) I have the server setup fine (I can run phpinfo() and other snippets of php fine) but I can't get cake working. I think it's because cake out of the box relies on mod-rewrite, but by default it should still work out of the box, just look ugly. But it doesn't work at all, I just get 404's, I'm guessing because it's redirecting me somewhere the doesn't exist. But when I add nginx directives through the ISPC control panel, sometimes they don't get applied fully, but a mydomain.vhost.err shows up in /etc/nginx/sites-available. But there's absolutely no indication or documentation or log or anything anywhere I can find that explains this - am I missing something here? Is there a way to debug site-specific nginx directives? And also, might it be possible that future version of ISPC indicate there has been a problem applying directives in the control panel, rather than having to manually check /etc/nginx/sites-available? Thanks, Dom. EDIT: I'm running ISPConfig 3.0.5RC1, nginx 1.3.7 and I've tried cakephp 2.2.5 and 2.3.0RC1

3 Easy Spreads for Summer
Delicious cracker toppings and sandwich fillings to try this season
It happened fast this year: A few weekends ago it was so chilly I actually built a fire (even though I had already cleaned out the fireplace), then before I knew it I was headed to the beach to cool down. Now summer is here, and we're all looking for ways to cook less and still eat well. To help, I've updated three classic spreads that double as practical sandwich fillers by day, and classy hors d'oeuvres come evening.
The inspiration behind these spreads struck at the restaurant Empire State South in Atlanta, where I was visiting my younger daughter and her husband.
Perusing the menu, I was immediately drawn to the section called "Snackies for the Table." There were several choices — cheeses, charcuterie, oysters on the half shell — but the most intriguing one was simply called "In Jars."
We got deviled ham, trout mousse, pimento cheese and boiled peanut hummus, all presented in little Mason jars with a basket of crackers and breads. We dug in, and in no time were scraping the jars, wishing we had another round rather than the entrees that were on the way.
I was determined to create similar friendly spreads. I started with deviled ham, which I thought would be the biggest challenge, but turned out to be quite simple. Though I had compiled a complex ingredient list, including sweet pickle relish and hot pepper sauce, I quickly discovered that the key to good deviled ham is, well, good ham!
Look for a dry-cured, well-smoked hunk — not waterlogged deli ham. Then it's simple: Just toss the cubed ham in the food processor with a little mayonnaise, mustard and Worcestershire. That's all you really need. The only reason I added the paprika was to improve the color (although you'll also add flavor if you use smoked paprika — also known as pimentón).
Empire State South makes a spread with smoked trout, but because that's not widely available, I used hot-smoked salmon. I mixed it with all the classic accompaniments — capers, red onions, dill, lemon zest — and just enough cream cheese to bind it. This one is a big winner.
Hummus, the hugely popular Middle Eastern spread, is typically made with chickpeas, so I was particularly intrigued with Empire State South's boiled peanut version. Unfortunately, buying raw peanuts is difficult, even for those who live in peanut country, and roasted peanuts just don't work in this recipe. But edamame (soy beans) are widely available. They're in the frozen-foods section of most well-stocked grocery stores, and come in their shells or shelled. Of course, if you have a choice, opt for shelled. This pretty pale-green bean offers a nice color change from the usual chickpea beige.
Check out the super-short ingredient lists and easy instructions for these spreads on the next page. You can whip them up in just minutes, and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or more. (My recipe for pimento cheese is at Three Many Cooks).
Edamame Hummus
Makes a generous 2 cups
- For a little color, sprinkle with paprika (or pimentón)
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 pound frozen shelled edamame
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Large pinch cayenne
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
Mince garlic cloves in a food processor. Add edamame, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, cayenne and olive oil; process until pureed. Thin with water to desired consistency; process one final time. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
Smoked Deviled Ham
Makes 1 1/2 cups
- 1/2 pound hunk good-quality ham
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (if you can find it, use pimentón, also known as smoked paprika)
Puree ham in a food processor. Add mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire and paprika, then process until creamy smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
Smoked Salmon Spread
Makes scant 1 1/2 cups
- 4 ounces light (Neufchatel) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup capers, packed in brine, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 8 ounces hot-smoked salmon, skin removed and salmon broken into small chunks
Mix cream cheese, capers, dill, lemon zest and red onion in a medium bowl. Lightly mix in salmon until just combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Feb. 27, 2009
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldog men's swimming and diving team will open the championship portion of the season on Friday with the first day of competition at the ECAC Championships. The Bulldog squad, which will also send a team to the Ivy League Championships next week, took fourth at the ECAC Championships last year after turning in a number of strong individual and relay performances.
The ECAC Championships brings together a wide variety of schools that provide great competition for the Bulldogs. Last year, 26 schools competed at the ECAC Championships with Ivy League rival Harvard winning the competition with 524 points. The Bulldogs scored 353 points while Johns Hopkins was second with 464 points and Rider was third with 385 points. The only other Ivy League schools in competition at the meet last year were Columbia, which took eighth with 244 points and Penn, which took 17th with 54 points. The swimmers that will not be competing at the Ivy League Championship next week, which has a maximum roster size of 20 student-athletes, will compete at the ECAC Championships. However, all of the divers will be competing at the Ivy League Championships, so the team will not have any diving representation at the ECAC Championships.
Despite the limited squad and top-notch competition, the Elis did very well at the meet last year. The top performer at the meet last year for the Bulldogs last year will again be at the meet this year. Senior Paolo Benvenuto took third in the 500-yard freestyle, third in the 1650-yard freestyle and sixth in the 200-yard butterfly. He will look to move up in the standings this year in the 500- and 1650-yard freestyle events and the 200-yard butterfly and will also swim the 400-yard individual medley.
The Bulldogs should also have a chance to do well in the 200-yard backstroke. Sophomore Alex Gornitzky took fifth in the event last year and well return to compete in the event again this year, along with competing in the 200-yard individual medley relay and 100-yard butterfly. He will be joined in the event by sophomore Jason Choi, who was 12th one year ago, and by freshman Matt Boone.
The athletes also performed well in the relays last year, but will be sending different teams this year. Last year, in the 400-yard freestyle relay, the team placed fourth, earning 30 points. The team was also fifth in the 800-yard freestyle relay, seventh in the 200-yard medley, seventh in the 200-yard medley relay and 11th in the 200-yard freestyle relay.
This will also be the final meet for seniors Benvenuto and Dan Li. Also competing at the meet at the meet and expected to perform strongly will be junior Jon Taylor, sophomores Zak Murez and Nick Van Nispen, and freshmen Alexander Benz, Matt Boone, Christopher Luu and Patrick Puhl.
Competition will take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Harvard's Blodgett Pool.

MACON, Ga. (Dec. 23, 2013) – The Atlantic Sun Conference announced Monday that ETSU junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wis.) has been named the league's newcomer of the week.
Riley registered a career-high 28 points in the Bucs' blowout victory over Tusculum on Dec. 16, and continued his quality week with 16 points in ETSU's comeback victory against Austin Peay on Dec. 21. The win over Austin Peay extended the team's home winning streak to five games, and ETSU now sits at 6-6 on the year.
On way to his first newcomer honor of the season, Riley averaged 22 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. He also collected a career-high seven rebounds and four assists in the win over Austin Peay.
Riley and the rest of the Bucs will return to action following the Christmas holiday on Dec. 29 at 4 p.m., as they host Valparaiso inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2013-14 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

The Division 3 girls swimming and diving state meet this weekend at Eastern Michigan University will feature some of the best swimmers in Lenawee County.
Both Adrian and Tecumseh High School will be sending individuals and relay teams to the state meet. A top 16 finish in Friday's preliminary races will give swimmers a spot in Saturday's finals.
Adrian had 10 girls qualify and will be competing in all but three events.
The Maples will be led by Jennifer Wagley and Emily Goodson, who will compete in two individual events, the maximum allowed, and compete with two relay teams. Wagley will swim in the 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley and is a member of the 200 medley and 400 freestyle relay teams. Goodson will also be on both relay teams and will swim in the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle.
Sarah Norton will be swimming in four events: both aforementioned relays, the 200 freestyle relay and 100 backstroke. Carolyn Roberts will be swimming in the 200 freestyle and will be a member of the 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle relay teams.
Ali Barr (200 freestyle relay), Hannah Barr (100 butterfly, 200 medley relay), Haley Gardner (200 freestyle relay), Jenna Moreno (100 butterfly) and Victoria Mueller (200 individual medley, 100 backstroke) round out Adrian's state qualifiers.
"I think Jennifer (Wagley) has a good shot at bringing home a state title," said Adrian coach Bill Esterline. "She's seeded first in the 100 butterfly and third in the 200 individual medley. Of course, seeding doesn't matter much, because you still have to swim the race.
"I think we can place in at least two of our relays, but I'm hoping for all three to place. I think if they swim well, all of our individual swimmers have a shot at bringing home a medal."
The Maples finished second in the Southeastern Conference White Division and placed third out of five teams at the Southern Michigan Independent Swim League championships.
"We finished 10th in the state last year, and we wanted to finish fifth or above this year," Esterline said. "…I think if we swim our best, we can make the top five."
Tecumseh will be sending two individual swimmers, two relay teams and the county's only state qualifying diver, Sarah Kelly.
Rachel Waite and Nicole Greene will be competing in two individual events and both relays. Waite, who has signed with NCAA Division I Oakland University, will swim in the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke, while Greene will compete in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke.
Waite and Greene will be joined by Karly Smith and Nicole Collins for the 200 freestyle relay and Jennifer Gozdor and Collins for the 200 medley relay.
"Rachel is seeded first in the 100 breaststroke and second in the 200 individual medley. Nicole Greene is looking to score in both of her races, and Sarah is looking to finish in the top 16 and bring home a medal in diving," Tecumseh coach Sarah Eubanks said. "Both of our relay teams are ranked either 11th or 12th, so we're looking to improve on that or at least hold those positions."
Tecumseh came in fifth at the SMISL meet and finished fourth in the SEC White.
"Rachel has got some high goals for this weekend," said Eubanks. "I think everyone has a chance to score this weekend and bring home a medal."

Hear a concert live Friday at 12noon ET from WXPN and NPR Music
Broadcast live Fridays from the stage at World Cafe Live
Central PA's Kingsfoil are one of Helen Leicht's recent musical discoveries on the local scene. Fronted by the charismatic Jordan Davis, the four-piece released its latest album, On Our Own Together, last June. Kingsfoil began as a duo in the early '00s; Davis and guitarist/vocalist Tristan Martin released The Almond Tree EP in 2005. Joe Cipollini was later added on drums and in 2007 Tim Warren joined the group on bass. The songs from On Our Own Together are incredibly polished and catchy bring to mind the musical likes of Coldplay and The Fray.
The band played the XPoNential Music Festival this summer. You can listen to their full set here.
The band plays The 8X10 in Baltimore with Virginia Coalition on September 16, and the Dewey Beach Music Conference 2011 the weekend of September 24-25, 2011.

"We're excited to have Todd Beckerman lead our wrestling program," said Hayes. "Todd was an outstanding student-athlete and he has continued that success as an accomplished coach with proven credentials. He brings tremendous experience and leadership to the position as well as a clear commitment to the direction of the program."
Todd Beckerman (Photo/Scott Morgan)"I'm honored and excited to become the head coach at Brown, one of the most prestigious universities in the country," said Beckerman. "I would like to thank Jack Hayes and the rest of the search committee for giving me this opportunity. I look forward to working with the student-athletes, administration, and alumni to honor Brown's legacy while building a successful, nationally recognized program."
Beckerman, who has 12 years of coaching experience at the collegiate level, comes to Brown following an impressive stint at Maryland, where he helped lead the Terrapins to four ACC Championships in the last eight years, including back-to-back titles in 2011 and 2012.
Individually, Maryland has produced 16 different and 26 total conference champions during Beckerman's tenure, while six ACC champions directly trained with the two-time All-American. Under Beckerman's tutelage, seven wrestlers have earned All-American honors, including a trio of multiple winners. Beckerman also coached Steven Bell to a sixth-place finish at the 2009 NCAA Championships and an eighth-place finish at the 2010 NCAA Championships. Since 2006, 38 Maryland wrestlers were named to the All-ACC team, while two earned ACC Wrestler of the Year honors.
In addition to assisting with recruiting, coaching, travel, budgeting, academic support and several other administrative and development duties, Beckerman spearheaded a social media campaign that launched the Maryland program into the national spotlight. For his social media efforts, Beckerman and Maryland won the "The Gold Standard" award by the National Wrestling Coaches Association Best of Brand Awards in 2012.
Prior to his arrival at Maryland, Beckerman spent two seasons as an assistant coach at the Naval Academy. In 2004, Navy posted its best record since 1993 and had a school-record eight wrestlers record 25-win seasons.
In addition to stints at Maryland and Navy, Beckerman served as a volunteer coach at Nebraska during the 2002-03 season, where he primarily coached the lower weight classes and assisted with recruiting. He began his career as an administrative assistant at Penn State in 2001-02, where he worked one-on-one with student-athletes and directed summer camps.
A four-year letterwinner and two-time All-American at Nebraska, Beckerman graduated in 2001 with a B.S. in human resources and family sciences. In addition, he also earned a Master's in Education from Nebraska with an emphasis in post-secondary athletics in 2007.
As a student-athlete, Beckman put together a decorated career on the mat and racked up a lofty list of accolades while wrestling for the Huskers. He earned All-American status at the 2000 and 2001 NCAA Championships and also earned Academic All-Big 12 honors in both seasons. As a senior, the team captain was named the 2000-01 Nebraska Male Athlete of the Year and the Husker Power lifter of the Year, and also competed internationally in 1999 and 2000 with the Big 12 All-Star Wrestling Team.
Beckerman and his wife, Christina, have one daughter, Grace.
"What They're Saying About Todd Beckerman"
"I had the pleasure of coaching Todd at the University of Nebraska and he had an outstanding career there. Todd has definitely paid his dues as an assistant coach and is a true professional in every sense of the word. I am happy for both Brown University, for choosing Todd, and for the sport of wrestling. Having a young coach with his character will help not only Brown, but also our sport."
Mark Cody – University of Oklahoma Head Coach
"Brown University is getting a super coach, one of the best young coaches in the business. Todd has developed and prepared to put himself in this position. The student-athletes who are currently at Brown, along with future student-athletes, will be benefiting from a coach who will prepare them for life."
Mark Manning – University of Nebraska Head Coach
"I am really excited for Todd. This is a great opportunity. It's a bitter sweet moment for us and our program, because he does mean so much to the Maryland Wrestling Family. But, we are really excited for his opportunity and look forward to some great things from him as the head coach at Brown."
Kerry McCoy – University of Maryland Head Coach
"As a Brown graduate, I am very excited about the hiring of Todd Beckerman. He is a proven leader with a demonstrated history of success as a wrestler and a coach. He has mentored under some of our top coaches and is uniquely positioned to build on the rich history of Brown wrestling."
Pat Tocci '93 – Director of Administration and Public Relations at the National Wrestling Coaches Association

What's your favorite kid-friendly app?
I have two of them. First is Where's My Water, a game about Swampy, a cute alligator who lives in the sewers. He likes to take showers but the water is trapped and you have to find various ways to direct the water to fill his shower. This free app from Disney has many levels and helps your children think about strategy and consequences.
My second kid-friendly app is a suite of math educational apps. It's called Splash Math and there are different apps available for different grades. Each grade level Splash Math costs $9.99 but it provides a fun way to learn math. Splash Math covers an entire grade level's math curriculum in a fan manner, without the need for workbooks, offering rewards along the way. My son loves math and is good at it, so I got him the 3rd grade level math program and he is learning so much. He will be well prepared by the time he reaches 3rd grade.

A recent report by Ovum predicts that mobile payment volume in South Africa will reach over R83 billion ($8 billion USD) by 2017 at a staggering 115 percent Compounded Annual Growth Rate between 2012 and 2017. Not only do mobile payments represent a significant market opportunity for business but they also offer the possibility to transform the social fabric of the local developing economy through greater financial inclusion.
Accenture recently surveyed more than 1,000 South African mobile phone users and interviewed business leaders in the mobile payment industry in the country to understand how consumers can be encouraged to make mobile payments.
Accenture's research, "Driving the Adoption of Mobile Payments—What SA Consumers Want (January 2014)," revealed three important findings:
Consumers are aware of mobile payments and more than 60 percent are planning to adopt. This percentage increases to 66 percent in the lower age groups surveyed.
Consumers can be enticed to use mobile payments through value-added services. More than 23 percent of consumers were even willing to share their personal data to receive such rewards.
While the industry is preoccupied with technology roll out, consumers are much more concerned about security, privacy, convenience and value. 82 percent of respondents who do not plan to make mobile payments said they were concerned about security while 59 percent had worries about privacy. Some 42 percent said they would not make mobile payments because of the convenience of their current payment method.
Technology continues to evolve quickly and dramatically. The digital economy is emerging in South Africa; but success requires a dynamic digital environment that meets the needs of its consumers and businesses. Mobile payments are no longer limited to the transfer of money but also the transfer of value and information.
While the development of the mobile payments market in South Africa has been slow and uncertain, what is clear is that consumers, even if not yet fully educated, are ready and willing to pay with their phones.

A few years back, the Authors Guild positively freaked out when it discovered that Amazon.com offered links to sellers of used books right along side the new books. They sent a nasty letter to Jeff Bezos about how he was harming authors and publishers and told authors that they shouldn't link to Amazon.com as it would take money out of their wallets. Unfortunately, just like with the entertainment industry the actual data shows a very different story. Research on used book sales suggests an active used book market helps, not harms, the sale of new books. There are a couple of explanations for this. First, an active used book market means that newer books have a higher resale value (effectively allowing people to estimate how much it costs to "rent" a book). Secondly, it turns out that many people simply don't view used books as a substitute for new books. That is, many people only buy used books or only buy new books. On top of all of that, giving customers more choice tends to increase the overall size of the market, whether by giving them more reasons to come back or by introducing them to something new that encourages them to buy more. For example, people will buy a used book from an author they're unfamiliar with, but if they like it, they may then be willing to buy new books by that same author in the future (when, without the used book, they would never have been willing to buy the new book). Once again, though, the kneejerk reaction from a group in the content industry is leading those they represent in the wrong direction.

Trade Associations SuckWhat do you expect? Most trade associations focus on the negative not the positive. In this case they did not view the used book market as a way of building a larger book buying population. The trade associations also forget that most people have a fixed and limited amount of discretionary spending dollars, and for the most part people will go with the lowest cost item. If that means a used book, so be it.
Anonymous Coward, 28 Jul 2005 @ 10:34am
HOW DARE THEY!Someone should tell the Authors Guild that there's this new place that actually will let you borrow a book from them after they buy it just as long as you bring it back by the 'due date.' How can we stop this abomination??? People can get books for free and decide if they want to buy their own copy or buy the new works of the author at a later time???
Word on the street is they plan on calling this evil organization a "LIBRARY."
Anonymous Coward, 28 Jul 2005 @ 11:24am
Re: HOW DARE THEY!OK, that's pretty funny and everything, but obviously that's apples to oranges. What they were saying, rightly or wrongly, is that used books were offered for sale alongside their product. That's not how a library works, it's not a store. And, you know, there's really no difference between a new book and a used book as far as the value you will derive from your purchase, but library books need to be returned. So your comment is fairly equivalent to saying "Wow, really? Did they not know that gasoline smells funny?" While, technically, correct, it's unrelated.
thecaptain, 29 Jul 2005 @ 5:02am
Re: HOW DARE THEY!Hate to tell ya, but most libraries sell books on a regular basis. Usually 2-3 times a year, but some like the one around here, has weekly sales.
Good stuff too. I'd rather pay 50cents for a used book (some recently published) than full price.
Doesn't mean I won't buy NEW books (I do...quite a bit, I'm a voracious reader) but it means that I buy MORE books total.

amazon and the mysterious 'research study"can you guide us to the research study and its sponsors who determined such things about amazon? It is interesting to think that such a 'study' or series of studies would have to track down huge numbers of people (not via amazon, who wouldnot release customer contacts) and then get them to fill out a form, AND then send it back. It would lend credibility to the statements if we could know the study citation and its sponsors. Measuring Apples against oranges is not a statisically sturdy procedure to rely on. Speaking of Amazon, and just my two cents worth, more likely the Guild was talking about NEW books that are being sold by USED BOOKS sellers, as well as what are called pre-pub Reader's copies that are supposed to not be sold, but rather given away. I think, again, just my two cent's worth, that the debate about content and how it is offered can rely on hard facts in the best arguments. That means, it may be far more convincing to name sources specifically rather than to allude to them.

you're obviously NOT paying attention. Mike directly links to the NYT article that talks about this SPECIFIC study. The articly directly links to the full text of the study. what else do you need?

Used booksMy publisher's sales of my book, Stand Alone, Inventor! have dropped off to almost zero since the used book sellers have taken over. If you go to my listing on amazon you will see dozens of used book sellers offering my book at prices ranging from the full price, $19.95 down to $3 or $4! New books are stagnating at my distributor and I will soon be in remainders after 6 printings and nearly 10 years of sales, mostly through amazon. Thanks a lot for killing this book!
Revel, 23 May 2009 @ 10:03pm
Re: Used booksHere's a thought. To the extent that your publishing contract allows, purchase several of your own copies from the publisher, and then list them (autographed) as collectible copies. You'll get more yourself than your publisher would for themselves.

I know that somewhere in my head there are eloquent words to describe my love of queso flameado, but right now I'm just too tuckered out from work to find them. Yes, I am very fortunate to have a job—I'm not complaining. But perhaps I'd find my staid desk job a bit more invigorating if there was an element of risk involved.
Take my stint as a Mexican restaurant waitress during college. Sure, I worked there mainly for the endless baskets of chips and salsa and after-work margaritas, but I have to admit the occasional opportunity to serve queso flameado had its appeal as well.
Queso flameado, which you might know as queso fundido, is a bubbling dish of melted white cheese, such as Monterey Jack or asadero, that's mixed with chiles and often chunks of chorizo or strips of fajita meat as well. Unlike its cheesy cousin chile con queso, queso flameado is rich and thick, which makes it awkward for chips but perfect for spooning into a soft, warm tortilla.
The name translates to flaming cheese, though it's not necessary to set it on fire for the dish to be successful. But try explaining that to the restaurant I worked at in college, which decided that if a customer was going to request something called flaming cheese, well, that was exactly what they'd get.
Whenever someone ordered queso flameado, we servers would jump over the prospect of danger, which definitely made our jobs a bit more thrilling. To create the spectacle, we'd sprinkle Everclear over the already cooked dish and then carry it out to the table. Upon arrival, we'd strike a match and wave it over the queso flameado, which being soaked in high-proof alcohol and all, would light up with blue flames that danced across the cheese making it bubble and hiss. When the inferno had died down, with two spoons we'd place the melted cheese into tortillas, and roll them into soft tacos. It was a fine presentation and one that made the table feel special.
I wish I could say that I set my shirt on fire or that I was such a queso flameado master that people would drive miles to see me set cheese aflame before deftly rolling it into tacos. That would certainly make for a better story, but that didn't happen. Nope, I simply served people their queso flameado, a dish that made them very, very happy. And sometimes creating happiness is the biggest thrill of all.
So on those nights when you're too tired to cook something fancy, queso flameado is a wonderful dish. You just throw some cheese, roasted poblanos and cooked chorizo into a skillet, heat it up for a few minutes and you have an oozing, satisfying snack or dinner. And sure, if you're feeling wild you can douse it in alcohol and set it on fire, though that's not necessary for enjoyment. But don't worry; even if you skip that dramatic step know that this simple dish will still bring smiles and maybe even applause.
Queso flameado
- 1 poblano chile
- 1/4 pound Mexican chorizo, removed from casing
- 3 cups shredded asadero cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack
- Warm corn and/or flour tortillas, for serving
Heat the poblano chile under the broiler for 5 minutes on each side or until it's blackened. Place the chile in a paper sack, close it and let the chile steam for 15 minutes. After this time, rub off the skin, remove the stem and seeds and cut into strips.
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Break up the chorizo and cook it in a medium-sized cast-iron skillet until it's done, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Drain the excess grease, then top the chorizo with the cheese and poblano strips. Place in the oven and and cook for 15 minutes uncovered or until the cheese is bubbling.
- Spoon out the melted queso flameado onto tortillas. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
If you can't find asadero cheese, Chihuahua cheese is a good substitute. But if you can't find it either, then use Muenster.

8 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 He awoke early in the morning to return to the temple. When He arrived, the people surrounded Him, so He sat down and began to teach them. 3 While He was teaching, the scribes and Pharisees brought in a woman who was caught in the act of adultery; and they stood her before Jesus.
Pharisees: 4 Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 Moses says in the law that we are to kill such women by stoning. What do You say about it?
6 This was all set up as a test for Jesus; His answers would give them grounds to accuse Him of crimes against Moses' law. Jesus bent over and wrote something in the dirt with His finger. 7 They persisted in badgering Jesus, so He stood up straight.
Jesus: Let the first stone be thrown by the one among you who has not sinned.
8 Once again Jesus bent down to the ground and resumed writing with His finger. 9 The Pharisees who heard Him stood still for a few moments and then began to leave slowly, one by one, beginning with the older men. Eventually only Jesus and the woman remained, 10 and Jesus looked up.
Jesus: Dear woman, where is everyone? Are we alone? Did no one step forward to condemn you?
Woman Caught in Adultery: 11 Lord, no one has condemned me.
Jesus: Well, I do not condemn you either; all I ask is that you go and from now on avoid the sins that plague you.][a]
12 On another occasion, Jesus spoke to the crowds again.
Jesus: I am the light that shines through the cosmos; if you walk with Me, you will thrive in the nourishing light that gives life and will not know darkness.
Pharisees: 13 Jesus, what You are claiming about Yourself cannot possibly be true. The only person bearing witness is You.
Jesus: 14 Even if I am making bold claims about Myself—who I am, what I have come to do—I am speaking the truth. You see, I know where I came from and where I will go when I am done here. You know neither where I come from nor where I will go. 15 You spend your time judging by the wrong criteria, by human standards; but I am not here to judge anyone. 16 If I were to judge, then My judgment would be based on truth; but I would not judge anyone alone. I act in harmony with the One who sent Me. 17 Your law states that if the testimonies of two witnesses agree, their testimony is true. 18 Well, I testify about Myself, and so does the Father who sent Me here.
Pharisees: 19 Where is the Father who testifies on Your behalf?
Jesus: You don't know the Father or Me. If you knew Me, then you would also know the Father.
