In what has to be one of the worst parenting fails any of us have seen in a long time, a New Zealand mom left her newborn locked in the car while she went shopping at the supermarket. (Wait, there's more.)
She also left a note pinned to the kid along with her phone number, you know -- just in case someone passed by and thought the baby might need her.
(You seriously can't make this stuff up.)
Oh yeah, did I mention that the note was written from the baby's point of view? It said, "My mum's in doing the shopping, call her if I need anything."
More from The Stir: Mom Who Forgot Baby in Hot Car Has Understandable Excuse for Tragedy
A couple noticed the child and told the New Zealand Herald, "We waited there for a little bit, wondering if the mum was just going to be two seconds and come back. And my wife said, 'I'm not going in without someone being here with the baby.'"
Long story short, a few more witnesses turned up, and the mom was eventually called to return to the car and her sleeping newborn. Then someone posted a photo of the baby on Facebook and now it's understandably all over the place.
And when I first saw it, I had the same reaction most moms probably will: "What the hell was she thinking? Who leaves their newborn baby alone in the car to go shopping?"
But then I thought about it a little bit more and tried to put myself in her shoes -- and that's when I started feeling a certain degree of compassion for her. Yes, leaving the baby in the car was a majorly dumb move, but come on -- how many of us made a really stupid decision or two when we were exhausted, overwhelmed new mothers?
I know my judgement was clouded on more than one occasion for sure in the first few weeks after I had my son. And while I never would've gone so far as to leave him in the car to go shopping, I can sort of understand why this mom chose to do so. I mean, she did leave a note, after all, so she must care about her baby's well being to some extent, right?
If I had to guess, one of two scenarios probably went down. Either the baby was fast asleep when she pulled into the supermarket parking lot and she was fearful of waking her, or she needed to run in and grab a few items, and she figured it would be easier without the baby and that she'd only be gone for a matter of minutes.
(Don't lie -- you've had the same thought before on occasion too. Granted, most of us would never actually leave the baby in the car, but if you say the thought never briefly crossed your mind, I don't believe you.)
Ok, ok, so I'm definitely not excusing what this mom did -- I'm only saying we should cut her a little slack, given the fact that she's a newbie. I'm sure that after a few weeks of that baby sleeping through the night, she won't hesitate to bring her into the store next time.
Have you ever left your baby in the car, even for a minute or two?

Founded in 1701 as "la Ville d'Etroit"—the City at the Straits—Detroit is one of the Midwest's oldest cities. Originally a strategic Native American and French trading post, by the mid-19th century the city was compared to Paris because of its scenic parks and beautiful architecture. The 20th century saw Detroit's evolution into the modern Motor City, the city that put the world on wheels.
With the growth of the auto industry, Detroit and its suburbs spread out across an ever larger geographical area, eventually making it one of the country's largest metropolitan areas. Though primarily known for Motown and motors, Detroit is also one of the world's busiest inland ports and a major steel producer. The Detroit River is linked by steamship to more than 40 countries; vessels ranging from ocean-going freighters to private yachts dock in the city's protected harbor.
Metro Detroit is also notable for its ethnic diversity—visit Hamtramck for its excellent Polish bakeries, Dearborn for its thriving Middle Eastern community, or Mexicantown for its numerous restaurants. The city offers extensive opportunities for shopping, nightlife, and dining. First-time visitors are pleasantly surprised by Detroit's world-class museums, theaters, art galleries, downtown eateries and clubs, well-run parks, and enthusiastic sports-fan culture. Talk with the locals, and you'll get an earful on why Detroit is such a great city. Spend a little time here, and you're likely to agree.

HAHAHA. Pede ba?
Ewan ko sayo! Abnormal lang teh.
She is very nice and caring towards everyone and she always has a smile on her face no matter what and even though she doesnt know it she is very beautiful and smart. She has a sense of humor that never dissapoints or keeps you from laughing. She has this aura about her that no one else could ever have. Stephanie is loving, unique, and maybe even a bit quirky; but its in a cool addictive way. Once you meet a real Stephanie Puse, don't ever let go.

The person was transported to the hospital and their condition is unknown at this time.

They're the most heavily favored to win the Super Bowl, but I just don't see it. I wouldn't be shocked if they get to the SB, especially since the Pats have been up and down this year, but I think the Niners and Seahawks defenses could shut them down. I'll be honest, I haven't paid much attention to the Broncos and haven't seen them play this season, but what do they have beyond Peyton? A decent defense I guess? What else? They also played in one of the worst divisions in football (Chiefs and Raiders were god awful and the Chargers weren't exactly amazing). Contrast that to the Pats, Niners, 'Hawks, and even the Packers schedules. All of them played in tougher divisons (well the Pats didn't really, but they had to play the Niners and Texans back to back). I also am a little worried about the Niners. Their pass rush has gotten pretty weak since Justin Smith was injured. Their offense has also been up and down. I doubt they'll dominate the Packers like they did in Week 1. It would be awesome if they do, but I certainly don't expect to see it. I really don't have a good gauge on the AFC. Out of the 4 teams left, the only one I can't imagine making it to the Super Bowl is the Texans. The Ravens are probably the worst team out of the bunch, but for some reason I can see them pulling something out of their ass the next couple weeks and making it to the SB. And yes, i agree, in the NFC it will most likely be the Niners or 'Hawks. I think the Seahawks shouldn't have a problem with the Falcons and they obviously can beat the Niners (and vice versa).

Pasetti's on the Woods
183 Woods Avenue, Oceanside
Phone: (516) 442-4609
Fax: (516) 442-4607
While Pasetti's on the Woods just debuted in August, the family name and the solid reputation behind it have been in Oceanside for a very long time. "My parents laid the groundwork," said Steve Pasetti, who has now taken over. Starting out as a luncheonette on Long Beach Road, the original Pasetti's opened in 1953.
Over the years it evolved into a delicatessen. Pasetti's became known for its fabulous homemade soups and salads. When Steve stepped in during the mid 1990s, he developed the catering end of the business.
Now working from a new location on Woods Avenue (hence, the name change), the Pasetti family plans to carry on tradition with a modern twist and novel ideas. Offering far more than typical deli food, their Culinary Institute-trained chefs whip up ready-made dinners, gourmet wraps, a dozen different wing styles, and paninis to write home about. Create-your-own-salad from dozens of different ingredients. Breakfast options are endless, and prices will bring you back in time.
Nearly 30 signature sandwiches fill the menu, like "Norwegian Woods" (mesquite wood-smoked turkey, bacon and Vermont cheddar), "Long Tall Sally" (skirt steak and mozzarella on garlic bread), and for those who love heat, "Here Comes the Sun" (chipotle chicken, pepper Jack cheese, roasted and hot peppers). "Kid's Lunch in a Box" consists of a choice of one of four sandwiches; soda, juice or water; and chips.
Creativity abounds on the catering end, be it a backyard barbecue, an intimate dinner party, or a huge gala affair. Whether it's a platter of assorted wraps or a soup-to-nuts meal, Pasetti's has the resources to do it right. You can order a hot dog cart, a taco station, trays of food, or gourmet hors d'oeuvres. Desserts, from cakes to cannolis, are available too. Pasetti's on the Woods can provide a wait staff, bartenders, grills, tables, chairs, tents and more.
The new deli is bright and spacious with tables up front. Orders can be phoned in or faxed over. There's a wide variety coffee bar in the rear, and groceries lining the shelves. There are always fresh muffins, other baked goods, and top quality cold cuts. Hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Prosecutors say that in the days after the killing of Odin Lloyd, she helped one of Aaron Hernandez's associates flee to Florida.
FALL RIVER, Mass. — A cousin of former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez pleaded not guilty Monday to a conspiracy charge for her alleged actions following the killing of Hernandez's friend.
Tanya Singleton was held without bail after entering her plea in Fall River Superior Court to a charge of conspiracy to commit accessory after the fact to murder. Prosecutors say that in the days after the June 17 killing of Hernandez's friend, Odin Lloyd, she helped one of Hernandez's other friends flee to Florida.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and weapons charges in Lloyd's shooting death. Ernest Wallace, the friend who fled to Florida, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of being an accessory after the fact in Lloyd's death.
Singleton, 37, was already being held on a contempt charge. She was indicted on that charge after allegedly refusing to testify before the grand jury hearing evidence in Hernandez's case and has pleaded not guilty.
Her lawyer, E. Peter Parker, would not comment outside court.
Singleton smiled several times during her brief arraignment but did not address the court other than to say, "not guilty."
In court last week, a prosecutor alleged that Singleton drove Wallace to Georgia from her home in Bristol, Conn., and when her car broke down there, she bought him a bus ticket to Florida.
Singleton agreed to be held without bail on both charges but has the right to ask for a bail hearing at a later date. She is due back in court Oct. 24 for a pretrial conference on both charges.
Lloyd was found shot to death June 17 in an industrial part in North Attleborough, Mass., near Hernandez's home. Lloyd, 27, a semi-professional football player from Boston, was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend.
Prosecutors said Wallace and Carlos Ortiz were with Hernandez and Lloyd on the night Lloyd was killed. Ortiz was indicted last week on a charge of accessory to murder after the fact, and is due for a court appearance Oct. 18. His lawyer has said he will plead not guilty.
Also indicted last week in the case is Shayanna Jenkins, Hernandez's girlfriend and the mother of his child. She is charged with perjury for testimony she gave on Aug. 13 and Aug. 15, according to the indictment. She was scheduled to appear in court Oct. 15 on that charge. Her lawyer did not immediately return a request for comment Monday.

FanFest stirs anticipation for Spring Training
SEATTLE -- The weather was typical Northwest winter -- overcast and chilly -- but with the Safeco Field roof closed overhead and an enthusiastic crowd looking forward to baseball, you could almost feel spring in the air Saturday at the opening day of Mariners FanFest.
"I've got like four layers on," said a bundled-up closer Tom Wilhelmsen, who left temperatures in the mid-70s in Arizona to come up for the weekend. "It's not my first time here. I'm staying warm."
"This is like postseason weather right here," said outfielder Casper Wells, "so I'm trying to get used to it because that's where I'm expecting to be sometime soon."
There was plenty of anticipation in the cool air as the Mariners made some moves this offseason to beef up their offense. Some of that was visible in the construction under way as the outfield wall at Safeco Field is being moved in.
But the biggest difference for the Mariners figures to be in a lineup that added some veteran punch to the middle of the order, with Michael Morse, Kendrys Morales, Raul Ibanez and Jason Bay added via trades and free-agent signings.
The 11 Mariners players who attended Saturday's FanFest all spoke glowingly of the potential.
"Obviously there are some great additions on the team," said center fielder Franklin Gutierrez. "I'm very excited. I think we're ready to win right now and I just want to be part of it."
"Even if we didn't change the fences, we were going to have a better offensive club to begin with this year," said outfielder Michael Saunders. "We brought in some veterans we can stick immediately into the middle of our lineup, which is going to help the younger guys and take a lot of pressure off us. With or without the fences, we were going to have better numbers. But certainly with the fences moving in, it'll be a better offensive season at Safeco."
In addition to having players talk and sign autographs, the 15th-annual event features a new zip-line ride over the right-field grass and a chance for fans to run the bases, play catch in the outfield, pose for a picture while "Felixing" in front of the perfect-game scoreboard and tour the clubhouses and dugouts.
More than 9,200 fans attended Saturday's activities. The two-day event concludes with Sunday's 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. session, with the same group of current players available as well as retired stars Edgar Martinez and Jay Buhner, manager Eric Wedge and general manager Jack Zduriencik.
With just 16 days until pitchers and catchers report in Peoria, Ariz., the buzz definitely has begun building for baseball fans in the Northwest.
"This is my first time here at FanFest," Wilhelmsen said. "It's great. Even with the cold, there's still a bunch of people here. They're obviously showing how excited they are for this upcoming season, which in turn makes us that much more excited."
"Being here makes you feel like the season is already starting," said pitcher Blake Beavan, "so it's definitely exciting."
Beavan was sporting a thick new beard and shortstop Brendan Ryan was minus his familiar mustache, which he said went away when he got married over the offseason.
Everyone has spent the offseason working on something, with catcher Jesus Montero devoting time specifically to speed work with a running coach in Venezuela.
"Just learning how to run and look beautiful," he said with a smile. "I'm never going to be fast, but I feel a little better."
Montero is one of several youngsters the club is building around. Third baseman Kyle Seager said having a full year in the Majors now will make a world of difference for much of the core group.
"If you look at everybody, we all have at least a year under our belt now and were able to grow," said Seager, who led the Mariners with 20 home runs and 86 RBIs last year. "When you add the veterans we brought in, some real impact hitters to put in the order, it's definitely exciting."
Ryan, a defensive stalwart at shortstop, is among those most pumped up about the influx of offensive talent and veteran leadership. He saw youngsters like Dustin Ackley and Justin Smoak fighting through things last year and feels established hitters like Ibanez, Morales and Morse will be a huge benefit on and off the field.
"I want to say the sky's the limit with that," Ryan said. "I think Raul has a lot of responsibility coming in because there's a lot expected of him, and not just in uniform. And some of these guys don't even have to say anything. Adding a lot of experience is going to be great for everyone.
"We're still a young team, obviously," he said. "But it's just another opportunity to pick some great minds. There are experiences to learn and draw from with those guys and it can only make us better."

NEW YORK — Sloane Stephens did her part.
She took all the space away from fellow American Jamie Hampton, commanded the court with her ferocious forehand and never let down for a moment.
Stephens needed only 63 minutes to beat the 23rd-seeded Hampton, 6-1, 6-3, on Friday and reach the fourth round at the U.S. Open for the first time.
Serena Williams' chance to do her part didn't arrive until much later Friday night and into Saturday morning. She didn't get on court to start warming up until 11:35 p.m. EDT, after 2001 U.S. Open champ Lleyton Hewitt took 4 hours 3 minutes to upset sixth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro, the 2009 champion, 6-4, 5-7, 3-6, 7-6 (2), 6-1, in the second round.

How to get the most out of Black Friday shopping
An estimated 147 million Americans are expected to hit the stores on Black Friday and the weekend that follows, marking the traditional kickoff to a holiday shopping season that, in reality, already began weeks ago.
Don't let the hype cloud your judgment on Black Friday. While retailers are working hard to lure customers with door-buster deals, sales are standard fare throughout the holidays, so there's no guarantee that the price you pay on Black Friday will be the lowest of the holiday season.
Here are some tips to get the most out of Black Friday weekend.
• Plan and compare. Comb through today's ads carefully. Sites like gottadeal.com, fatwallet.com and blackfriday.com have features that let shoppers sort through deals from all the stores they track, allowing consumers to search, for example, for all deals on televisions.
• Be social. Be sure to "like" your favorite stores' Facebook pages and follow their Twitter feeds. Stores will be using social media more than ever this Black Friday to keep shoppers updated on last-minute deals and discounts.
• The lucky few. Be wary of door-buster deals that only come in limited quantities. Read the fine print in the ads. If a store says it only guarantees that each store will have 10 of a particular item, that's a tip-off there's a good chance that item will be sold out by the time you get there.
• Have a schedule. With Black Friday spilling over into Thanksgiving evening this year, store opening times are staggered, which means serious Black Friday shoppers need to schedule their stops to take the most advantage of the door-buster sales. Stores like Walmart are opening at 8 tonight; Target opens at 9. Other stores, from Macy's to Best Buy and Kohl's, are opening at midnight.
• Keep watching. Hang on to your receipts and understand a store's return policies before you buy, because there's a decent chance that you'll find the same, or a similar, item on sale later for a better price. Keep watching the ads and continue to scour websites for price drops later on.
• I'll match that. Target, Best Buy and Toys R Us all have limited price-matching policies that include online retailers, but there are plenty of exceptions. Best Buy's price-matching policy, for instance, doesn't apply between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

The prologue began with the relation of the Father and the Son, and now Jesus' first major public teaching in this Gospel begins with the same topic. It is this relationship that makes sense out of everything Jesus says or does, and so this rich passage requires special attention.
Jesus begins his defense by saying the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing (v. 19). He is completely dependent upon the Father. In this expression of humility, obedience and dependence we see the Semitic version of the ideal son, since a son is to reproduce his father's thought and action. He does nothing by himself, or more literally, "from himself" (aph heautou); his source of being and activity is not himself but his Father. He cannot act from himself, for to do so would be to exist autonomously from God. There is one who is autonomous, namely, the devil (cf. comment on 8:44). The Son is distinct from the Father (or he would not be the Son), but he is not autonomous.
More is involved, however, for Jesus is not simply the ideal son, but the unique Son, "the One and Only" (1:14, 18). Therefore, when Jesus says the Son sees what his Father is doing he is not saying that he makes rational deductions regarding God's activity from what he can observe in Scripture or history or nature. Rather, since Jesus is in the bosom of the Father (1:18), totally at one with the Father (10:30), he sees God differently than anyone else ever has (1:18; 6:46). While he is referring to his human experience, as the next verse makes clear, he has a sensitivity beyond human experience to God's voice, because his intimacy with God is unclouded by sin. This sight, then, refers to his constant communion with his Father, and thus the actions he refers to are not some special signs done now and then to illustrate what the Father is like. Rather, Jesus' whole life, everything he does, is reflective of what he sees the Father doing. According to this verse, such is all he, the Son, can do.
Jesus himself, who is the unique Son and who alone has seen God, is nevertheless the model of true humanity in that he is thoroughly open to God, humble, doing nothing of his own. The birth from above makes us God's children, and we share in something of the same sort of relationship with God through the Spirit as we see in the Son (cf. chaps. 13--17).
Jesus explains his relationship with the Father through a series of four explanatory clauses (5:19-23), each headed by the conjunction gar (variously translated in the NIV). He begins by saying he can only do what he sees the Father doing because [gar] whatever the Father does the Son also does (v. 19). Here the same unity of action is stated, yet it is not in terms of limitation (the Son can only do what he sees the Father doing), but through a mind-boggling claim of completeness. He does everything (ha gar an, translated whatever) the Father does. That is, not only is everything in Jesus' life reflective of God the Father, but also everything the Father does is reflected in Jesus' life. Jesus is claiming to be the full revelation of the Father (cf. 15:15; 16:13, 15; 17:10).
Next, the Son's complete revelation of the Father is grounded in the Father's own love for the Son and the fact that the Father has not held anything back from the Son. For [gar] the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does (5:20). The Father's love is the heart of everything. It is this love between the Father and the Son "that moves the sun and the other stars" (Dante, The Divine Comedy: Paradise 33.145). God's love for the world (3:16) leads him to send the Son so we may be able to share through the Spirit in the Father's love for the Son (16:27; 17:23). This eternal relationship is the source of Jesus' activity for it leads the Father to show the Son all he does. We see again in verse 20 that the Father takes the initiative; he is in control, and he is the source of all. This passage also emphasizes that the Father has held back nothing of his activity from the Son. All that God does is revealed to Jesus, and Jesus passes everything on to us (15:15).
Jesus' healing on the sabbath and his other deeds have amazed people, but he promises the Father will show the Son even greater things ("works," erga) than these (5:20). Jesus' desire for his opponents to be amazed is not due to any interest he might have in their acclaim--he does not care for human praise (5:30, 41). Rather, Jesus works miracles that, like the miracles of Moses (Ex 3), will make people sit up and take notice and recognize that God has sent him. But on a deeper level God seeks an amazement that comes from recognizing the Father in the Son, for the miracles actually reveal the identity of Jesus and the character of the Father. This amazement is a part of faith, as seen, for example, in the case of Nathanael (1:49-50): he was amazed, and Jesus promised him he would see even greater things. As we learn more of God we continue to be amazed. If we are not amazed by Jesus, then we, like these opponents, have not yet really seen him.
Jesus then explains that these greater works have to do with giving life and judging. For [gar] just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son (5:21-22). The Father has put everything into the Son's hands (3:35), including the most fundamental realities of human existence, the giving of life and judgment. These two activities are at the heart of everything Jesus does in this Gospel, and these verses spell out his right to such responsibility and power.
He has been commissioned by God as his agent, but he transcends that role. He does not simply commit to the Father's plan and faithfully execute it, as a good agent would do according to Jewish ideals (cf. Rengstorf 1964a:415; see note on 5:21). He is to give life to whom he is pleased [thelei] to give it (5:21). Jesus' own will is involved. While Jesus can do nothing by himself (5:19), he does have a will of his own, and the Father authorizes Jesus to act according to that will. His human will, however, is completely in harmony with the Father's will. So again we see the distinctness and the oneness of the Father and the Son. An agent might bring life in the name of God, but no agent could say "I am the resurrection and the life" (11:25). This statement, spoken by Jesus at the raising of Lazarus, helps us perceive the significance of his staggering claims made here in chapter 5. Indeed, the raising of Lazarus is one of the greater works that does cause onlookers to marvel.
The last explanatory clause (5:22) states emphatically that the Father judges no one [oude . . . ouden], but has entrusted all judgment to the Son. Jesus is given this authority because of who he is; it is part of his identity (5:27). Jesus is the light of the world (8:12) and the truth itself (14:6), and his very presence is a judgment on all that is evil and false.
In these verses Jesus' equality with God is revealed with the result (v. 23, hina) that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Here their complete equality is expressed in terms of people's proper attitude toward Jesus: the very same honor given to the Father is to be given to the Son. Again the Jewish idea of agent is used and transcended (see note on 5:21). An agent was to be received as the one who sent him would be received. But here God is the one sending, and no one sent by God in the Old Testament ever claimed equal honor with God! Unless Jesus is wholly and completely God this verse promotes blasphemy. Indeed, the last part of the verse makes the point even more strongly: failure to honor the Son is failure to honor the Father. Honoring God, which was at the heart of the Jewish religion, is said to be dependent on honoring Jesus as the Son of God.
This keynote section states clearly the scandal of particularity that some Christians find discomforting today. The complex language of these verses shows the struggle to guard the truth of monotheism while claiming that Jesus is God. The concerns of monotheists such as Jews and Muslims are legitimate, and this Gospel reveals that God is indeed One, though not in the way these other religions understand. This Gospel encourages monotheists to understand their truth in light of what has now been revealed by the Son of God about himself and the Holy Spirit. This Gospel, however, offers no encouragement to Christians who wish to say that Jesus is not the unique Son of God with exclusive and ultimate authority over every person on earth. All judgment has been given to him, and all are to honor the Son just as they honor the Father. John allows for no syncretism, for that would deny the uniqueness and exclusivity of Jesus.
The next section of the keynote address (5:24-29) deals with how the Son exercises these two divine prerogatives. The first two verses (vv. 24-25) mention a present experience of life and judgment; the second two verses (vv. 26-27) return to the relationship between the Father and Son, which lies behind this activity of the Son; and finally, the Son's divine activity in the future is referred to (vv. 28-29).
To give life and to judge are interrelated, for to have life is to escape condemnation (v. 24). The great events of the last day are already taking place (v. 25). The judge they were expecting has come surprisingly, before the final end of this age; the life of the age to come is already available. All of this is accomplished, Jesus says, in the one who hears my word and believes him who sent me. This phrasing again points to the unity of the Father and the Son. Those who recognize Jesus as the unique Son receive his words as having come from God and, accordingly, believe the Father who sent him. To know God is to have eternal life (17:3). Until we receive life from the Son we are dead (5:24), under God's wrath (3:36).
The hearing (akouo) Jesus refers to (5:24) obviously requires more than having been present when he spoke or simply reading his words in Scripture now. The opponents hear, but do not receive and obey. The Old Testament emphasizes God's giving of his word and the necessity of our attending to it; and these are the themes again when the Word himself speaks: The cry of Wisdom in the streets is heard by the wise and ignored by the fools (Prov 8). One greater than Ezekiel is here speaking to the dry bones (Ezek 37).
Jesus' grounds for such audacious claims is the Father's authorization of the Son (5:26-27). The earlier thought (5:19-23) is repeated with two new developments. First, the deity of Christ is clear from the fact that the Father has granted the Son to have life in himself (v. 26). That is, the Son himself is the source of life and not just an agent of God's power of life. Yet this possession of life was given by the Father (edoken). So again we have glimpses into the mystery of the relations within the Godhead and an emphasis on the gracious giving of the Father, who is the source of all.
Second, the Son's authority to judge, which also comes from the Father, is bound up with his identity as the Son of Man (5:27). Something of the meaning of this term has been mentioned previously (cf. comments on 1:51; and 3:13-14), but we encounter in this instance more of its complexities. Jesus' use of the term picks up Daniel 7:13-14 (C. F. D. Moule 1977:11-22; 1995:278; cf. J. Collins 1995:173-94), where the Son of Man is an eschatological figure who is given "authority, glory and sovereign power" and whom "all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped." There is no explicit mention of judgment in Daniel, but there is in 1 Enoch (for example, 48; 62:7-16; 63; 69:27-29, material from the first century A.D.), where the Son of Man is also associated with giving life. The Son of Man as judge is common in Christian literature (for example, Mt 13:41; 25:31-46; cf. Schnackenburg 1980b:466 n. 82). So Jesus is saying that if they recognized him as the eschatological Son of Man and if they understood this identity aright, they would know they were facing their judge. In passing judgment on Jesus they were condemning their ultimate judge and thus passing judgment on themselves. The irony of this situation comes up over and over in the story.
Jesus' claim to be the Son of Man, whom we understand to already be life-giver and judge, includes the expectation that the Son of Man will fill such a role in the future. If the opponents recognized Jesus for who he is, they would not be amazed that he is giving life and judging. The Son of Man's present activity does not preclude his acting again at the end of the ages. John, like the rest of the New Testament authors, believes that the Jews' eschatological timetable has become more complex with the coming of Jesus. Instead of the Jewish notion of two ages, this age and the age to come, Christians saw an overlap in these ages. The age to come has already begun while the old age continues on for a while. John emphasizes this inaugurated eschatology--the presence right now of the age to come--more heavily than any other author in the New Testament. But he does not reject the belief in a future expectation as well.
In the future there will be a universal judgment by the Son of Man (all who are in their graves, v. 28), since all judgment has been given to him (v. 22). This judgment is connected with life-giving (as in v. 24), which is described here as two resurrections. Verse 29 reads literally, "and they will come forth, those who did good things unto a resurrection of life and those who committed evil things unto a resurrection of judgment." This seems to suggest that judgment will be made on the basis of works. But the context has already made it clear that the issue is whether one hears the Son and believes the Father (v. 24, to be emphasized in the next chapter; 6:29, 40, 54). Thus we see again (cf. 3:19-21) that evil deeds are those which prevent us from coming to the light or, as here, from hearing the Son and believing the one who sent him. If we wish to share in the resurrection of life we should make sure we do those deeds that enable us to have faith in Jesus. We see in chapters 3 and 4 that an immoral lifestyle might not prevent a person from being open to Jesus and neither might a moral lifestyle make a person receptive. Nevertheless, once one is walking in the light it is clear that actions in keeping with God's commands keep us open toward God. That is why God commands them. That is, they are in keeping with his very nature, so to live according to their pattern is to open oneself to God. We are to walk as Jesus walked (1 Jn 2:6), obeying his commands (Jn 15:9-17). The first step of spiritual life is recognizing our need, which some immoral people may do and some moral people may not. The lifestyle we are called to in the Son is one of moral purity, in constant consciousness of absolute and utter dependence on God. "Apart from me you can do nothing" (15:5).
Having contemplated this future judgment we look again at the judgment Jesus exercises in the present (5:30). This verse repeats the themes of verse 19, thus tying this section together. All Jesus does--speaking, giving life and judging--comes from the Father and therefore reveals the Father. His life is entirely at the disposal of the Father, which is to say, he models true discipleship. The opponents are not able to "make a right judgment" (he dikaia krisis) because, unlike Jesus, they do not will to do God's will (7:17).
This verse rounds out the section and prepares for the next. Jesus judges by his very presence--the light comes and exposes. Since people judge themselves by their response to the light, Jesus can say that he himself does not judge or condemn. But in a sense Jesus does judge in that he draws peoples' attention to how they respond to him. By exposing their response he makes them all the more culpable. Thus, in what follows he will say that their rejection of him means they do not know God (vv. 37-38). He says this not to condemn them and harden them in their sin, but so they may be saved (v. 34). But there is something wrong with their hearts--they do not will to come to him (v. 40). It is not their will to do God's will, no matter how much they claim the contrary. Jesus will keep pointing this out in various ways from here through chapter 12.

Tax Commission News Release
Business income tax refunds come faster when you e-file
BOISE, IDAHO — March 7, 2013 — As corporations prepare to file their federal income tax returns by the Friday, March 15 IRS deadline, they should also consider filing their state business income tax returns electronically at the same time, according to the Idaho State Tax Commission.
The Tax Commission's website features approved software developers that offer electronic filing for Idaho's corporation, S corporation, and partnership tax returns. To get a list of providers, click on the "Business income tax e-filing" link under "Quick Picks" on the home page.
"The software providers charge different fees and offer different levels of services for e-filing state and federal returns, so businesses should compare the offers to see which one best serves their needs," said Doreen Warren, revenue operations administrator for the Tax Commission.
She added, "This can be very efficient for tax preparers who are required to e-file federal returns. If their current tax software doesn't support business e-filing for Idaho, they should ask their software company to add an e-file option for Idaho returns."
Electronic filing saves paper and mailing costs, and it allows businesses to get their refunds faster than if they file by paper. The software does the math, and businesses get a confirmation receipt.
Last year about 47 percent of Idaho businesses filed their income tax returns online.

Lincecum stung early, often by D-backs

SAN FRANCISCO -- Had he operated at peak efficiency Wednesday night, Tim Lincecum might have struggled to retire Paul Goldschmidt.
But, as Lincecum himself admitted, "I tried to do my best and today fell completely short of that."View Full Game Coverage
So you can guess what transpired at AT&T Park.
Goldschmidt maintained his uncanny dominance against Lincecum, driving in four runs with a first-inning, three-run homer and a third-inning sacrifice fly to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks past the Giants, 7-3.
Goldschmidt, who owns a career .542 batting average (13-for-24) with seven home runs and 17 RBIs off Lincecum, didn't merely hit an ordinary home run. After Lincecum yielded Gerardo Parra's triple and walked Martin Prado to start the game, Goldschmidt drove a 1-1 fastball into the right-field arcade -- an area reached by relatively few right-handed batters. It was only the 22nd opposite-field homer hit by a visiting right-handed batter since AT&T Park opened in 2000.
Arizona led, 3-1, when Goldschmidt next faced Lincecum. Parra singled, advanced to third base on Prado's single and scored on Goldschmidt's drive to medium-deep right field.
Lincecum yielded seven runs and seven hits in four innings, proving that Goldschmidt wasn't his only problem.
"I made a lot of mistakes today," Lincecum said. "He was up there with four guys on in two at-bats."
The right-hander explained that a significant flaw in his pitching mechanics affected his deliveries. Lincecum said the positioning of his shoulders was such that when he threw, "it felt more like sidearm than over the top." This robbed his fastball of movement and, he said, "all my secondary pitches were pretty flat."
Giants manager Bruce Bochy noticed.
"He was off all night. That was pretty evident," Bochy said. "... From the get-go, you could tell he had trouble getting the ball where he wanted. He didn't have good stuff or command."
Lincecum's competitive nature remained intact. He didn't consider evading Goldschmidt by pitching around him.
"I had to get my out any way I could," he said.
Nor did Lincecum sound reluctant to confront Goldschmidt again, which at the earliest can happen during the Giants' next series at Arizona, June 20-22.
"I know he has some holes here and there, but I have to mix up my pitch routines," Lincecum said.
Goldschmidt remained genuinely respectful of the two-time Cy Young Award winner.
"You know Lincecum is a very good pitcher," he said. "You just go up there and try to have a good at-bat and try to hit the ball hard. Fortunately, I was able to get one there in the first inning. No matter who's out there, it doesn't change. You try to have a good at-bat, try to keep it simple and hit the ball hard."
Goldschmidt also took care not to anger the baseball gods, who don't react kindly to players crowing over excessive achievement.
"Obviously I've had success right now, but that can change in a hurry," he said. "There's plenty of guys that maybe you start off hot [against] and then all of a sudden you don't get a hit. That's how baseball is -- or vice-versa. Maybe there's a guy you don't hit very well and then for some reason you get a few hits off him. We're taking a small sample size here. It's really not anything I think about."
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson followed the same approach.
"You hope that the streak can continue, but at the same time you respect Tim Lincecum and what he's accomplished and what kind of pitcher he is," Gibson said. "He's capable of shutting you down. You have to respect that and be on your toes to try and beat that young man."
Suddenly renowned for their offense, the Giants distinguished themselves at the plate. They just didn't do it often enough. Michael Morse hit a titanic second-inning home run to left field and Buster Posey lined his third homer of the season over the left-field wall in the fifth, both off D-backs starter Bronson Arroyo. Center fielder Angel Pagan sustained his remarkable production from the leadoff spot, going 3-for-5 to raise his batting average to .462 (18-for-39).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Brian Gardiner scored four goals and Columbus Leonard had 11 saves to help lead the MIT water polo team to a 9-6 victory over Iona College at the Zesiger Pool Saturday night. The win was second straight for the Engineers, who improved to 4-11 overall and 2-2 in Collegiate Water Polo Association (CPWA) Northern Division play.
MIT struck early, opening up a 4-2 lead after the first two quarters of play. The teams traded goals in the third, and Tech's two-goal advantage would hold up as it led 7-5 entering the final stanza. A late foul on the Gaels led to a five-meter try by Devin Lewis, which he converted to seal the victory.
Two of Gardiner's tallies came in man-up situations. Lewis added an even strength marker to his five-meter goal and Rob Kalwarowsky added a pair of scores. Leonard earned his fourth win of the season in net.
The Cardinal and Grey will play three games next weekend, hosting Fordham on Saturday, October 17 at 5:30 p.m. before traveling to Connecticut College for a Sunday doubleheader against the Camels and Mercyhurst College.

RTC 2009-10 Impact Players: Lower Midwest RegionPosted by zhayes9 on October 13th, 2009
Ed. Note: the previous posts in this series (Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Atlantic South, Deep South and Mid-South) are located here.
It's time for the sixth installment of our RTC 2009-10 Impact Players series, the group of rust belt and farming states that we like to call the Lower Midwest. Each week we'll pick a geographic area of the country and break down the five players who we feel will have the most impact on their teams (and by the transitive property, college basketball) this season. Our criteria is once again subjective – there are so many good players in every region of the country that it's difficult to narrow them down to only five in each – but we feel at the end of this exercise that we'll have discussed nearly every player of major impact in the nation. Just to be fair and to make this not too high-major-centric, we're also going to pick a mid-major impact player in each region as our sixth man. We welcome you guys, our faithful and very knowledgeable readers, to critique us in the comments where we left players off. The only request is that you provide an argument – why will your choice be more influential this season than those we chose?
Lower Midwest Region (OH, IN, IL, IA, NE, KS)
Ed. Note: for the purposes of our analysis in this region, Butler was considered a high-major program.
Cole Aldrich – Jr, C – Kansas. Much like North Carolina one October ago, Kansas appears to be the unanimous selection to begin the season atop every poll and ranking. One of the main reasons for such accolades is the continued improvement of Cole Aldrich, the Kansas double-double machine in the post. Remember the national semifinals against UNC in 2008 when Aldrich burst onto the scene recording eight points, seven rebounds and four blocks in a then career-high 17 minutes? That was the night college hoops fans first saw what Aldrich can provide for Bill Self and his Jayhawks. In a full season of play, Aldrich and guard Sherron Collins were the anchors behind Kansas' surprising run to a #3 seed and a Sweet 16 berth in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year. Cole Aldrich and a pretty good player named Blake Griffin were the only players in the Big 12 to average a double-double in 2008-09. Speaking of stats, Aldrich's triple-double in the second round against Dayton – 13/20/10 blks- was the first recorded triple double in KU's illustrious basketball history. Aldrich led the conference in blocks with at 2.7 BPG, finished second in rebounding at 12.4 RPG, second in FG% at 60% and tenth in FT% at an impressive 79% for a 6'11 center. Aldrich possesses great length, a high motor and displays the fundamentals under the basket that Self loves. The insane talent around Aldrich this season will only put less of a load on his shoulders as the big man can rely on Collins for the clutch outside shot, Xavier Henry on the wings, Thomas Robinson on the block or Tyrel Reed to knock down the long-range three. But the pressure will be on Aldrich to provide a post presence that simply cannot be matched in the Big 12 (sorry Dexter Pittman). If he achieves his potential, a national POY award isn't out of the realm of possibility for Kansas' prized junior center.
Craig Brackins – Jr, F – Iowa St. Craig Brackins won't get half the airtime this season as any of the other high-major names on this list, but he could end up becoming the best player of the group when it's all said and done. It's not as if Brackins came out of nowhere – he was a five-star recruit out of Brewster (NH) Academy in 2007, and he turned down offers from Indiana and Pitt, among others – but, when you play in the Big 12 and your team is generally an afterthought (4-12 in 2008-09), it's tough to get noticed. But noticed he got on Jan. 24th in a nationally-televised home game against the defending champion Kansas Jayhawks. Brackins sliced and diced the vaunted Jayhawk defense for 42/14 in a losing effort that had Bill Self afterwards stating that the lanky center could be the "best player in the country today." That single game may have put the Iowa State star on the casual fan's radar screen, but it's not like Brackins wasn't tearing it up against everyone else too: 32/16 against N. Iowa; 28/17 against Jacksonville St.; 38/14 against Houston; 25/13 against Nebraska. The all-Big 12 first teamer nearly averaged a double-double for the season (20.2 PPG and 9.5 RPG) despite seeing hard and fast double-teams every time he touched the ball. It was widely presumed that Brackins would jump into the NBA Draft last summer after such a spectacular season; after all, projections for him of the lottery and mid-first round were prevalent. However, Brackins said that he had some unfinished business to attend to at ISU (meaning, getting the Cyclones to an NCAA Tournament), and he returned to what should be an improved squad with 6'7 juco transfer Marquis Gilstrap's arrival on the blocks and a solid returning backcourt of Diante Garrett and Lucca Staiger. The only true weakness he has exhibited so far in his career is his 28% from beyond the arc, but with more firepower on the team this year he may be less inclined to feel like he has to do it all (Brackins attempted 37% of ISU's shots last year). Regardless of how the team's season plays out in 2009-10, there should be no doubt that Brackins is on the short list of best post men in America. With another year of seasoning under his belt at the collegiate level, however, we could be looking at a top five pick next June. Don't flip the channel so quickly if you see that Iowa St. is playing on the tube this year – it may be one of your few chances to see one of the best big men in the country.
