In the 19th century, Britain was the world's superpower, boasting a global empire of 10 million square miles and 400 million royal subjects. And British authors of the era reflected this supremacy, peppering prose with words of command and certainty — ones like always, never and forever.
At the same time in Ireland, writers echoed a different perspective in their books. With the Irish under the thumb of British rule, the nation's scribes frequently used words that displayed inability or frustration — ones like almost, nearly or perhaps.
Matthew Jockers knows this to be a fact because it bears out in his computer-generated data: The University of Nebraska-Lincoln assistant professor of English has combined computer programming with digital text-mining to produce deep thematic, stylistic analyses in 19th-century literary works. He calls the data-driven process macroanalysis, and it's opening up new methods for literary theorists to study classic literature.
"But what we don't know is what happens after the turn of the 20th century," Jockers said. "The 20th century, as we know, is when the British Empire deteriorates and the Irish gain independence. So do each country's authors remain as they were in the previous century? Or if they do begin to change their approach, in what ways do they go about it? That's the kind of question we can address — with access to proper data, that is."
Now, thanks to an exclusive agreement between UNL and private company BookLamp, Jockers and research collaborators from several U.S. universities have the tools to begin uncovering the answers to that question — and many others. This new research collaboration will ultimately allow scholars to access and analyze book data from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
BookLamp uses digital tools to compare books by theme and writing style, suggesting other books a reader might like based on how closely they match previous reads. To power their algorithm, BookLamp works with publishers across the industry to analyze thousands of titles in its Book Genome Project, which it launched in 2003.
"We can learn a lot about ourselves by looking at the writings that have been published over the years as a whole, at a scale that's been difficult to do in the past," said Aaron Stanton, CEO of BookLamp. "We're not providing access to data for individual books, but instead information that can help answer larger questions about changes in society over time."
Jockers, who also is a fellow in UNL's Center for Digital Research in the Humanities, said that in scholarly circles, the arrangement signifies a big step forward: For years, digital researchers have had a difficult time gaining access to the results of digitally text-mined books from the 20th century, thanks to copyright and access issues. While BookLamp will not directly provide scholars with book texts or book-level data, it does provide corpus-level "anonymized" data that allows researchers to ask questions about key thematic and stylistic structures.
An example may be to query how often female writers used keywords related to traditionally male professions in the 1920s compared with, say, the 1980s, to track the changes in women's literary roles over time, researchers said.
"Nearly everyone who does this kind of work focuses on the 19th century, because that's all that's been available in the digital format, outside of copyright," Jockers said. "So unfortunately, we've been kind of stuck in time for a while. But this arrangement will help us clear that hurdle and we'll be able to look more deeply into more modern works."
Jockers leads the collaboration with digital literary scholars at Stanford University's Literary Lab as well as Arizona State University. It starts with a two-year project involving data from BookLamp, as well as data from 18th- and 19th-century novels already compiled in Stanford's Literary Lab.
Organizers have dubbed the effort the "Unfolding the Novel" project. Ultimately, they will consolidate 300 years of high-level book data to study long-term literary trends and patterns.
And in the 20th century, those patterns explode into a multitude of modern genres and open up a swarm of new research questions, Jockers said.
With the BookLamp-provided summary metadata, researchers could query information from a range of years — the 1950s, for example — and learn how many times a particular word was used in any of the new genres of the time, from detective stories to romance to science fiction. The text-mined results would shed new, data-supported light upon the various themes and styles authors employed in that decade.
One of the project's initial queries will be to examine the words and stylistic elements that best allow scholars to distinguish between male and female writers, Jockers said. For example, in the 19th century, male authors were far more likely to use male pronouns than female ones. This indicates their stories were more masculine than those written by women authors, who used male and female pronouns more evenly during the same period.
"We're interested to learn what happens to this tendency in the 20th century," he said. "This is, after all, the period of liberalization, so the theory would be that women would begin writing more female-centered work. And, if these movements had any effects on the males, we should start to see a greater attention to the other gender in works by 20th-century men, as well. It will be interesting to see."
The work of understanding and organizing data from 100 years of literature is long and difficult, Jockers said, much less 300 years of literature. But he said he thinks that he and his collaborators are inaugurating a game-changing, information-rich era of literary scholarship.
"The potential uses of this information are huge," he said. "BookLamp has been a spectacular partner in the effort; they are genuinely interested in many of the same questions we are, and they are passionate in the pursuit of knowledge.
"The possibilities are practically endless."

BRITAIN'S Got Talent star Hollie Steel has given a campaign to buy a special vest for two Burnley brothers a boost.
Hollie, 15, who was born in Burnley but now lives in Huncoat, appeared at The Railway Club, in Rosegrove, at a fundraiser.
Noah McGibbon, eight, plays for Sycamore Juniors Football Club, and the club launched an appeal last year to buy an airway clearance physio vest for him and his brother Jayden, three, who both suffer from cystic fibrosis.
The vest, which costs around £7,000, reduces the need for intensive daily physiotherapy.
With the help of the event at The Railway Club, which featured a sponsored head shave, and music from Hollie and Manchester-based singer Nicole Talmer, the fundraising total stands at £5,985. Since appearing on Britain's Got Talent, Hollie has released three albums.
She released her sixth single in December 2012 — Fly, which was recorded in Italy with Romina Arena.
The football club has now organised a second event at the Railway Club on Good Friday, featuring music from Elvin Priestley and a performer from Liverpool called Allessandria, as well as a comedy drag act with Ellie Peters from Blackburn.
David White, from Sycamore Juniors, one of the event organisers, said: "It was a great night and we had around 120 people there. Everyone said they enjoyed the evening, which was nice of them.
"It is great knowing we will reach our total and we thank everyone that has given time up and donated to the appeal to help the two young boys.
"Without them we would not have been able to raise the £7,000 they need."
The event will start at 7pm and finish at 12.30am and tickets, costing £3 each, can be bought from the club or by calling Louise on 07904634276 or David on 07715640417.

I love sampler quilts, but I often find its time consuming to cut each block individually and piece them one at a time. So, in efforts to have another sampler quilt and to CeLEbRaTE my 1st year anniversary blogging at www.reannalilydesigns.blogspot.com : I'm hosting a Centralized Quit Block swap. Here's how it works-
A centralized swap is one where you mail all 9 of your blocks to me, then I swap them out and mail them (8 others + one of your own blocks) back to you in your PROVIDED self-addressed stamped envelope. Take your finished blocks to the PO without sealing the package. Have them weigh your bundle and buy that amount of postage, plus $.20 to be certain, and stick on your return envelope. Place that envelope in with the blocks and send it on its way.
International players are more than welcome to hop in. I will be shipping from my US Post Office (73521) - so the "return stamp" needs to be US or you can send paypal in the exact shipping amount of your return postage, and I'll just buy the stamp for you when I mail out the swap packages. {If you have a better method for International Return Postage, please email me! I'm open to suggestions.}
The swap is a Rainbow Sampler.
1. Maroon
2. Red
3. Orange
4. Yellow
5. Light Green
6. Dark Green
7. Light blue
8. Dark Blue
9. Purple
The Details: You pick the color you want to work with, from the pallet pictured above, and one block, from www.quilterscache.com. Then you make 9 identical monochromatic blocks. The blocks should measure 12.5" square, so that they will be 12" square when sewn into your new quilt. The foreground color should be the color you selected and the background color should be white or tone-on-tone white. Please use 100% cotton fabrics. You do not have to sign the blocks if you don't want to, but please do include a paper name tag pinned to the back of EACH your blocks, so the recipient will know who else has generously swapped. Name tags should have your first name, city and state.
edited to add: Your colors can pattern or solid, as long as your blocks "read" monochromatic + white/tone-on-tone white. You can see my Yellow block here.
The swap is designed for 9 total players per section. If we have more than 9, I'll open up a second section. I will be linking all the players in the side bar of my blog, so even if you see 18 or 27 names, you're only making 9 blocks.
Skill Level: Since you get to pick whatever block you like- it's a good swap for all skill levels. If you are a quilting master, sure pick something with a lot of triangles. If you are a beginner, go with some kind of modified 9-patch block. Quilter's Cache has blocks for every type of quilter.
Sign Up: Email me or post a comment with your color choice (by number) and block choice. If someone has already chosen a color you desire, please choose a different one. You're runner-up color; that way we'll still get the rainbow effect per section. Can you join twice to yield a larger quilt? Sure- but you'll have to make sure you are in two different sections in order to yield 18 blocks. In fact, if you're considering joining twice- you might want to wait to sign up the second time- to see if we need to fill in some sections. {Please check the side bar where I've listed the Swap sections to see whats available.}
Time line:
There will be 3 weeks to sign up. Sign ups close Jan 26th, at the end of the day. I'll add all the names & links in on the 27th.
There will be 8 weeks to finish the 9 blocks. Blocks need to be in the mail by March 23rd. I will swap them as soon as each section is received and drop them back in the mail as quickly as possible. Depending on how far the mail has to travel- Hopefully, we'll all have the makings of a sampler quilt right around April 15th, USA Tax Day.
Think about it. Tell your friends and grab a blog button to enjoy the fun! Oh, if you want to go all html crazy and link your blog button- you can link it to this post or to this blog. Thanks!
Thanks for playing. I look forward to virtually meeting you! ~jen~
Update Jan 5, 2009: Section 1 is officially full. Section 2 is open for your choices.
Update Jan 9, 2009: Section 2 has TWO spots left, Yellow and Dark Blue. Section 3 will open soon.

Update Jan 24, 2009: Only two days left for sign up! Section 4 is still open and has 3 color/spots left! Jump in with both feet. First-time-swappers are welcome.
Update Jan 26, 2009: Ok, the swap sign-up is officially closed. To my delight, we ended up with 4 even sections, and my real-life guild. That's 45 total players. Thank you so much. Check out my blog or the blogs listed in the side bar to view some of the sewing progress! You can also see more blocks from the swap in our flickr group.
NOTES: If you missed the swap and the sign-up deadlines, you can still join a similar swap, hosted over at Jane's Fabrics and Quilts Blog.

The following is an excerpt from The MacArthur New Testament Commentary on John 5.
"those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment." (5:29b)
The final resurrection will usher believers into the glories and joys of eternal life, and bring unbelievers to the endless suffering of eternal judgment. By characterizing believers as those who did the good deeds and unbelievers as those who committed the evil deeds Jesus was not teaching that salvation is by works. Throughout His ministry, Jesus clearly taught that salvation "is the work of God, that [people] believe in Him whom He has sent" (6:29; cf. Isa. 64:6; Rom. 4:2–4; 9:11; Gal. 2:16; Eph. 2:8–9; 2 Tim. 1:9; Titus 3:5). Good works are simply the evidence of salvation; Jesus called them "fruit" in Luke 6:43–45. Those who believe in the Son will as a result do good deeds (3:21; Eph. 2:10; James 2:14–20), while those who reject the Son will be characterized by evil deeds (3:18–19).
While works do not save, they do provide the basis for divine judgment. Scripture teaches that God judges people based on their deeds (Ps. 62:12; Isa. 3:10–11; Jer. 17:10; 32:19; Matt. 16:27; Gal. 6:7–9; Rev. 20:12; 22:12), because those deeds manifest the condition of the heart. Thus Jesus said, "The mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart" (Matt. 12:34). Later in Matthew's gospel He taught that "the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders" (15:18–19). In Luke 6:45 Jesus told His hearers, "The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil." The apostle Paul also taught that people's actions reflect their inner nature. To the Romans he wrote,
[God] will render to each person according to his deeds: to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. (Rom. 2:6–10)
A few chapters later, Paul made it clear that those who attain to the resurrection of the righteous do not do so by their own merits, but by means of their union with Jesus Christ through faith:
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection. (Rom. 6:3–5)
Thus good deeds reveal the presence or absence of salvation, but do not produce it. They are its effect, not its cause.
The importance of the doctrine of the resurrection cannot be overstated: without it, there is no Christian faith. Writing to the Corinthians, who were wavering on the doctrine of the resurrection, Paul made it clear that
if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. (1 Cor. 15:16–19)
The apostle's great hope, as it is of all believers, was to "attain to the resurrection from the dead" (Phil. 3:11), a reference to the resurrection of the righteous. He understood the truth that "blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years" (Rev. 20:6). And he knew that such a resurrection was attainable only through faith in Jesus Christ (cf. Rom. 6:4–5).
Concluding his magnificent chapter on the resurrection, Paul wrote, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Cor. 15:58). The doctrine of the resurrection provides hope for the future that energizes the Christian's life and service to God in the present.

Actress/singer Zooey Deschanel had a birthday to remember on Tuesday – President Barack Obama mailed the actress a personalized letter, wishing her "good health and happiness in the year ahead."
The star was celebrating her 32nd birthday on Tuesday when she received an unexpected surprise in the mail box.
She took to Instagram to post a snap of the document, which reads, "Michelle and I send our warmest wishes for a happy birthday. As you celebrate this special occasion with your family and friends, please know I am grateful for all you have done to encourage and support young women who are making a difference across our country.
"I hope your day is filled with love and laughter, and I wish you all the best for good health and happiness in the year ahead."
Deschanel, who shares her birthday with the leader's wife, Michelle Obama, later poked fun at the politician for skipping out on her party, writing on Twitter, "It's okay. I get it. I would go to Michelle Obama's birthday instead of mine, too."
Tuesday marked Michelle Obama's 48th birthday.

So here's the deal: I figured the last five figures would be hard to find, so I got an extra set of the three "Alice" figures, and the two "Dory" figures.
Partly "Just in case", but partly to help others here on the forum.
I'll sell each as a set: $35 for the "Alice" set, and $40 for the "Dory" set (plus shipping).
First come, first serve, of course, but if it helps someone on here without having to pay stupid eBay scalpers, my work is done here.
PM me if interested. I do PayPal.

Two crew members who went missing when their helicopter went into the Red Sea on Sunday are believed to be dead, the U.S. Navy said Monday.
Search and rescue efforts for the two, who were in a MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter, have been suspended, the Navy said. The sea lies between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
The helicopter landed on the deck of the guided-missile destroyer USS Lawrence, two Navy sources said, and three passengers got off.
According to eyewitnesses, the two crew members were still aboard when, apparently, a wave hit the ship severe enough to cause the helicopter to fall into the sea, the sources told CNN.

CONCORD, N.C. — After months of wondering when any Hendrick Motorsports car would win again, NASCAR's powerhouse program is on a major roll heading into the Coca-Cola 600.
CONCORD, N.C. — After months of wondering when any Hendrick Motorsports car would win again, NASCAR's powerhouse program is on a major roll heading into the Coca-Cola 600.
Five-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson broke a 16-race victory drought this month at Darlington Raceway for Hendrick Motorsports' 200th win, then won the All-Star race Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Throw in a Sprint Showdown victory by Hendrick driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. and a win in the Pit Crew Challenge by Johnson's No. 48 team and it's a non-stop party for owner Rick Hendrick.
"The company," Johnson said Thursday, "is still on a high from the 200th win and the All-Star win just kicked it up another notch."
That could be bad news for the rest of NASCAR, which thought it might be gaining on Hendrick's dominance.
Johnson collected the program's 199th win last October at Kansas as he chased a sixth straight championship. But Johnson came up short of the title, losing to Tony Stewart. None of Hendrick's high-power drivers — four-time champion Jeff Gordon, Earnhardt and Kasey Kahne are Johnson's teammates — could break through this season until Johnson took the checkered flag at Darlington and touched off a party that hasn't stopped.
Neither has the winning.
"Things have been pretty good," said Kahne, 16th in drivers' points. "Then after Jimmie won that 200th, that got everybody even more excited."
Johnson doesn't see why that can't continue Sunday night in the Coca-Cola 600.
Johnson has won nine times at the 1.5-mile track, three 600s, three of the 500-mile fall race and three All-Star events. "We are excited to get on the track today and through the course of the weekend," he said. "We feel like we will be a threat to win."
And giving Hendrick even more to celebrate.
This week, the car owner hosted a party in Charlotte headlined by country music superstar Brad Paisley.
Hendrick's current crop of star drivers was on hand along with others who brought his machines to victory lane through the years like Geoff Bodine, Mark Martin and Kyle Busch.
"It's a huge accomplishment for our people and I'm really proud of them," Hendrick said. "You know, you need to stop and celebrate something like, this because they don't come along too often."
Johnson said it was fun to watch Hendrick kick back and revel in the achievement. "I'm really proud of him to sit and enjoy the 200th win and savor it and spend some time in the moment," Johnson said. "It's not like him to do that type of thing."
That's for sure.
Johnson recalled how during the Darlington celebration two weeks back, Hendrick told him that now they'd gotten to 200, "let's get 250."
It's a focus that's kept Hendrick Motorsports clicking off the wins since Bodine collected the program's first victory at Martinsville in 1984.
Hendrick's far from done this season. He expects to follow through on the goal he set before the season that he wanted all four of his cars in the season-ending Chase for a Championship. They've got some work ahead for that to happen, though.
Earnhardt's No. 88 sits third behind points leader Greg Biffle and second-place Matt Kenseth. Johnson is fifth. Then comes Kahne, 54 points out of 10th place. The one struggling most this season is Gordon, the usually steady former champion stung with a several problems that have him way back in 24th and most likely needing a couple of race wins to claim a wildcard spot to the year-end shootout.
Hendrick said he's never had so many races get away from such a talented group like Gordon's No. 24 team and Kahne's No. 5. "Between Kasey and Jeff Gordon, probably the rottenest luck I've had in my racing career," Hendrick said. "I mean, I can't even remember as many flat tires or wrecks or Kasey is running third on the last lap and gets shoved into the wall. We have had some freak things break on the car."
Gordon has tried to stay positive through the problems. "You can only do that for so long, but we're still doing it," he said. "So hopefully, we'll see the results."
Current Hendrick drivers have combined for 14 victories at Charlotte. Earnhardt looked like he'd make that 15 last May until he ran out of gas while leading the race on the final lap to finish seventh.
The way things are going for Hendrick Motorsports, Johnson wouldn't be surprised if he and his teammates were all fighting for the win come Sunday night — just like Rick Hendrick wants.
"I'm sure we will be reminded of that here before long," Johnson said.

I'm kinda hoping the guy who ise discusses dragon ball with(morisawa)will become a more major character as he can relate to ise's pervertness and for the comedy effect as I seem to remember him being a massive fan of koneko

"Its not like there arent. But if you compare it to the holy-swords that already exist, it is kind of lacking. Of course Im not saying its weak. Among them there is a sacred utensil included in the Longinus, just like your Boosted Gear. The most famous is the Sacred Gear which was wielded by the person who killed Jesus Christ, the True Longinus. Its also said that the name Longinus was derived from it.
Longinus. It is a Sacred Gear that has the power to kill God. Like the one I possess in my left arm. So, there is a sacred utensil which is a Sacred Gear and is also a Longinus. But to hear that the spear which killed Jesus-san was also a Longinus I was discovering the mystery behind the history from out of nowhere. Talking to a high-class devil can be really shocking.

During the crucifixion, a Roman soldier pierced Jesus in his side with a lance.
In medieval Christian traditions, Longinus is the name of the soldier, not of the lance. He is the same soldier who says, after the death of Jesus, "In truth this man was son of God".

Mammon@ Who know. The only thing we know is that God die in the last war and that TL have his last wish(or something like this). Like people joke from what we know God can be Mil-tan(if happen i will laught soo hard). Or some one joke that god it's Ise reincarnate (i dont really thing this is possible though.).

ahahahaha n0m are you trolling?
everyone knows jesus ressurected himself.
he also can ressurect anyone he wants to, ie..
But we went over this a while back ago on the closed thread.
The new testiment which jesus is dominant in, is not included in DxD.
I am assuming the author did that so he could keep God dead.
Otherwise he would have to worry about the other 2 Gods wrecking havok on the world on a scale which would make indra look like a 5 yr old throwing a tantrum over a NDS which batteries have died.
Til this date there has never been a "God" which wiped all of humanity clean except a chosen family.
God in the bible brought about the great floods to "restart" the human population.
Never has a God done this outside the Original God. Zeus even never attempted a restart, nor has Odin.
And there was no humans during the times of the titans... hence... again.. NO GOD minus the original God has wiped the earth of human population on a "restart".
The Original God is not Mr. Rogers which Jesus makes himself out to be.

I would assume that the next power-up for Ise would be related to his new body, or mastering the Divine Dividing he stole from Vali (I believe the author mentioned this in vol 12 afterword?)
Though if Ise were to get the same level of Touki as Sairong.... that would be cheating. Just plain cheating. The boost in Ise's strength is based of his own base level, which is about a normal mid-level devil (this is without BG). If his base level was that high, he'd be invincible in CCQ. No exceptions.

Something I think should be clarified here. Ddraig and Albion have a base level equal or greater than god. However, that doesn't mean that's their limit. Ddraig can still multiply his power, and Albion can still divide others. That's their intrinsic ability.
Saying Ddraig can't go above his base level with boost is like saying Sirzechs can't use POD in his Magia Ereba form (screw it, I'm calling it Super Satan from now on. I don't care what DBZ thinks.)

hey guys do you believe that indra stole true longinus, annihilation maker and dimension lost for the stated reason personally i think it was to protect itself from Vali and Issei should they ever decide that the strongest war god needs to be humbled a bit.

Indra couldn't care less what happens to Cao Cao, George, or even Leonardo.
It wouldn't surprise me if Leonardo became the "final boss" of this manga.
Look at what's happened to him.
Kidnapped,mind controlled, and having his sacred gear forcefully exploited by Cao Cao and the "hero" faction.
The one person who has shown even a little concern for his well being is dead. (I'm sure Cao Cao or George will at one point say the Gremory clan killed him, but won't elaborate why or tell him that Sigfreed is the one who attacked the Gremory first.)
He was kidnapped from the "hero" faction and traumatically forced into BB mode summoning the Bandersnatch and Jaberwock monsters by a devil, Shalba.
Now he's being forced to endure the "Realm of the Dead" by Indra.
Little by little, his life is just more and more trauma and betrayal. I foresee him getting quite bitter and angry and just plain wanting revenge on the world, and using "annihilation maker" and the new "real" Ophis to do so probably starting with his "allies" in Kaos Brigade and working outward from there.

Andy Weinstein writes from Efrat regarding one of the comments we posted from a reader on Sharon's strategy:
I just saw the following quote from Carol Herman (no idea who that is) in a post on Powerline: "The 8,000 civilians in Gaza are not holding back the tides of terrorism. They're just a costly interference. Using up taxpayer money, to sport small enclaves, where, surprise to no one, the settler's HATE the IDF! (Settlers don't join the army. Most get the "gift" of a religious pass. And, the real problem is that Israel has yet to figure out how to separate church from state, effectively.)"
Libel #1: The settlers in Gaza hate the IDF
…My colleague here at work just finished 3 weeks of reserve service there, and it's not his first time – that's his regular yearly posting with his reserve unit. The soldiers are warmly welcomed and loved, particularly by the religious settlers. I myself live on a settlement next to Bethlehem, and let me tell you, soldiers are treated beautifully and appreciated deeply by everyone in my area (Gush Etzion). There are a very, very small number of places and people who have a bad relationship with the army. I don't believe that any of those are anywhere in Gaza – I've never heard any incidents reported from there. The Gaza settlers have never been known for being part of the small radical fringe.
Libel #2 Settlers don't join the army
…Settlers comprise a highly disproportional percentage of the soldiers not only in combat units, but in commando units. This population is (for obvious reasons) the most highly motivated group when it comes to military service. This has been mentioned over and over again in recent years in the Israeli press, where it is a noticeable and important phenomenon (and a cause for concern to some). The author is confusing settlers with charedim ("Ultra-Orthodox"), most of whom use an exception for full-time religious studies and do not do regular army service (though some serve later in life in the reserves). While the majority of settlers are indeed Orthodox ("National-Religious"), their worldview and lifestyle are quite distinct from the charedim, and have been since the inception of Zionism. It is extremely easy to tell them apart, and it's easy to see the knitted yarmulkes of the National Religious on the heads of soldiers wherever you go. The two groups are conflated by ignorant anti-religious people who hate both of them.
I will not bother commenting on the more general topic of the settlements and Sharon's plan. That's a reasonable subject for thoughtful debate….Please correct this post-haste. It's bad enough being compared to Al-Sadr by Tom Friedman. We don't need Powerline contributing to this too.
We also received a message to the same effect from Dr. Steven Ohsie. Thanks to all who have written on the subject of Sharon's strategy. It's an important subject to which we will obviously have occasion to return.
UPDATE: Another Israeli correspondent writes:
Ok…now that the Sabbath is over and I've had a chance to read through some of your posts from the last couple days, I must say I'm frankly shocked…The National Relgious community (which comprises a good percentage of the settlers, myself included) serve, with distinction, in the IDF.
It takes only a limited amount of research to see that over 30 percent of the junior officers in the army (especially combat and commando units) are the product of National Religous seminaries (Hesder, Yeshivot and Pre-Army Prepratory programs), this, even though they are maybe 15% of the overall population. [Carol Herman's] statement also fails to take into consideration that almost half of the Jewish population of Gaza is not even religious. So, putting aside the fact that the vast majority of men living in the settlements serve in the army, you only need to go ask those soldiers serving about the local Jewish inhabitants relationship with them.
Everyday you see people driving by delivering hot coffee to men standing out in the cold guarding checkpoints. Dropping of bags of homemade cookies or just giving a wave and smile and quickly mouthed thank you. I personally live in Judea/Samaria, so we're not driving around in the bulletproof vehicles that they need in Gush Katif, so it's easier for us to show our appreciation of the local soldiers. But the small contingent of men and women stationed at a lookout post near our yishuv are fought over when it comes time to invite them of Shabbat meals.
If there is any anger amongst the settlement community for the actions or occasional inactions of the IDF, we know it's not the regular soldier or junior commander who is to blame. It's the politicians who give the orders. So they are to blame and most people know that very well.

"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty."
Henry Ford (1863-1947), American industrial magnate
The issue is current and is regarded as urgent by the entire industry: where will we find the specialized personnel of the future? Years with low birth rates, only a very limited willingness on the part of girls to choose technical training and a rather low age of retirement are just a few of the starting points that are the focus of discussions.
With the creation of the Center of Excellence, an exclusive selection of EMCO centers of excellence, EMCO and Festo Didactic together provide a platform for the continuous improvement and development of industry-standard CNC training: up-to-date, industry-related and comprehensive, that's what the perfect training should be like.
How can EMCO and Festo Didactic assist the Center of Excellence with this?
- Proximity to industry as an everyday lived experience rather than as a catch phrase - the ongoing exchange with and between all Center of Excellence partners, such as at the annual meeting in the EMCO center in Hallein,
- the ongoing involvement in product development processes,
- regular training in the EMCO technology center or on-site,
- teaching and learning materials for the everyday classroom experience such as the new
- EMCO campus,
- technical advice in accordance with didactic aspects and technical support on site,
- and assistance with the planning and preparation of the Center of Excellence rooms
are just some examples of the package of measures planned for EMCO Center of Excellence.
A New Center of Excellence Partner
The vocational school in Göppingen is yet another partner we have been able to gain in the heart of Germany's mechanical engineering region. The goals and plans reflected in the decision for a vertical milling center for 5-axis machining are thus correspondingly ambitious. Approximately 500 trainees in metal manufacturing trades (e.g., cutting machine operators, industrial mechanics and toolmakers) and another 50 participants from the technical school as well as approximately 250 students of the technical high school will find ideal training conditions here – highly motivated teachers familiar with the industry requirements, industry-standard machinery and the most modern teaching and learning materials. www.gs.gp.bw.schule.de

Logan Thomas and Virginia Tech have played three games, and faced the same challenge each contest: opposing defenses are stacking the box and daring the Hokies to beat them through the air.
Logan Thomas and Virginia Tech have played three games, and faced the same challenge each contest: opposing defenses are stacking the box and daring the Hokies to beat them through the air.
The Hokies (2-1) expect to see more of the same against Marshall on Saturday.
The Thundering Herd (2-1) will bring the nation's fifth-ranked defense to Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, along with designs on using the national stage to show that their program is on the rise again.
�Our Virginia guys are motivated, just like when we play a Florida team our Florida guys are motivated,� Herd coach Doc Holliday said. �The Virginia guys know these kids playing for Virginia Tech. Anytime you can go play on the national stage your kids are going to get excited to go play.�
That excitement also stems from achievement. Marshall also has something the Hokies don't, as yet: a proven offense. The Thundering Herd's offense ranks 20th in the nation, averaging 527.3 yards. Marshall is led by junior quarterback Rakeem Cato, who is in his third year as a starter and fast climbing the school's career lists.
But the Hokies believe they have the answers for Cato and the Thundering Herd. Virginia Tech registered seven sacks last week against an East Carolina offense that, like Marshall's, tries to run plays in rapid-fire fashion.
�We just want to put pressure on the quarterback,� linebacker Tariq Edwards said. �Even the great ones, as far as if you put as much pressure as we usually put on them, they'll rattle.�
Marshall hopes to do the same to Thomas by shutting off the Hokies running game, but the 6-foot-6, 254-pound senior is confident that strides in the passing game will continue. His receivers dropped twice as many balls as they caught in the opener, when they caught just five, but have caught 42 in the two games since.
�The more I see them with smiles on their faces when they're out there on the practice field or game field and I know they're having fun, it kind of gives me a peace that if I put it out there, then they're going to do their best to make a play,� he said.
�I've always had confidence in those guys. It's just nice to see them getting better.�
Here are 5 things to watch when Marshall plays Virginia Tech on Saturday:
THE DEFENSE RESTS: Marshall runs an average of 82 offensive plays per game, third in the nation. The Thundering Herd use a spread formation, and even the best defense can become vulnerable when asked to be on the field for too long. Quarterback Rakeem Cato has also completed 66 percent of his passes in his college career and thrown a TD pass in 21 consecutive games. Getting pressure on him could help take away what he likes to do most.
THE START: Marshall has been a Top 25 team in the not-too-distant past, and with gaudy offensive and defensive rankings, is eager to prove its getting back to that level. Early strikes by either team could either allow the Herd to gain confidence, or allow the Hokies to dash it with domination.
RUNNING GAME: Logan Thomas and the Hokies were willing to take what East Carolina gave them last week by stacking the box, but some semblance of a running game would surely help open things up. The Thundering Herd ranks sixth nationally, allowing just 67 yards rushing per game, albeit against lesser competition.
TURNOVERS: Thomas has been prone to interceptions, and the Hokies have made seven in three games. In a game like this, those plays can be huge momentum swings and quickly level an unbalanced playing field.
KICKING GAME: Normally reliable PK Cody Journell missed an extra point and three subsequent FG attempts in the Hokies� 15-10 victory against East Carolina, with each miss looking worse than the last. Beamer says Journell has looked fine this week, but he might like to see game evidence to be sure.

Romney's Acute Grasp of Irony
Brian Jencunas thinks people should look at Mitt's governing record, not his clearly ironic speeches before different audiences.
There is no real reason to think that Romney's comments about the 47 percent were any more sincere than the remarks he gives to evangelical conservatives, Tea Partiers, libertarians, or any other groups of people whose support he wishes to win. When Mitt Romney went to the Boca Raton fundraiser, he had one goal: make the attendees feel like they got their $50,000 worth and make them like Mitt Romney enough to give even more money. ...
Don't judge Mitt Romney by his words in Florida. Instead, judge his actions as Governor of Massachusetts. Governing is where you can see what a politician really believes, because then they are forced to make decisions between competing interest groups and competing priorities. Yes, personal ambition and political calculations will play into those decisions, but unlike the words of a speech, the actions of government have serious consequences and visible results.

The men will typically range in age from 20 something up to 65 or so. Golfers tend to be a bit traditional so something creative and interesting but not too edgy.
What we are really looking for is something that is soft enough to keep the massage feel, but masculine enough to appeal to the male market.
I would like to start with some greens and blues and rich tones. However, we are not set on anything specific so feel free to explore other color combinations.
Stock photography is a little tricky for the header. Any stock would need to either show seated massage on someone who looks like they could be ready to play golf (not much out there) or focus on some golf shots of golfers. You may even want to try something completely different and rely on graphical elements with just one or two stock photos.
We like flash as well, although not necessary.
Once we decide on the winning design, we would like to hire you to produce a few internal pages as well.
