ELK RAPIDS — Second place in the Lake Michigan Conference is up for grabs this week when East Jordan and Elk Rapids meet twice in the span of five days on the boys hardwood.
Round 1 goes to the Red Devils.
East Jordan took over sole possession of second in the league with a convincing 64-44 win over Elk Rapids on Monday at Elk Rapids High School.
The Red Devils (12-2, 10-2 Lake Michigan) held a 20-12 lead after the first quarter and built that advantage from there, leading 37-25 at the half and 55-35 at the end of the third period.
"They were just the better team from start to finish," said Elk Rapids coach Luke Johnson. "They executed offensively and we weren't very good offensively. They came from the get-go ready to play."
Noah Bacchus had a game-high 21 points to lead East Jordan. Colin Petrie and Jaden Hoffman each added 10 in the win.
Elk Rapids (13-4, 9-3) was led by Cole Walker's 14 points.
The Elks turn around and travel to Harbor Springs today, while East Jordan heads to Grayling. Then, Elk Rapids and East Jordan square off again on Friday in East Jordan, where Elk Rapids will be looking to get revenge and deadlock the two teams who trail league-leading and undefeated Boyne City by two games.
"Hopefully the kids will learn something from this," said Johnson.

The #1 Reason Why Christian Marriages Fail
The Bible tells men to treat their wives as equals. But in a machismo culture, this is easier said than done.
Whenever I travel to Latin America I usually carry a pair of handcuffs in my suitcase. I use them as a visual aid when I'm preaching about the machismo attitude that is so prevalent in that region. I remind everyone in the audience that esposa, the word for wife in Spanish, is the same word used for handcuffs.
Esposas. Why would the word for wife be the same word for a form of bondage? Because women in many Latin countries suffer unthinkable abuse in the home. Puerto Rico, where I spoke last week, has one of the highest rates of domestic violence in Latin America, and many women die there every year at the hands of their partners. read more
When Church Gets Weird
Why Relational Discipleship Has Become My Priority
I'd rather invest in a few emerging leaders than preach to crowds of thousands. Here's why.
Once when I was traveling in India a pastor made a tempting proposal. "If you come to our city, we will stage a big evangelistic campaign and invite thousands," he said. "You can preach to all of them." This man assumed I would be intrigued. After all, I could take photos of the big crowds and use them to brag later about how many people made decisions for Christ.
I didn't accept the offer. Instead I gave the man a second option. "Let me spend three days with a small group of pastors," I said. "Let me encourage them, and then they can go out and preach at the big meetings. They will do a much better job than I could." read more
Spiritual Gifts, Spiritual Fruit and the Evidence of True Pentecost
Pentecost's power is more than wind, fire and supernatural hoopla. Without love it is just noise.
What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word "Pentecostal"?
A. · · A woman with a beehive hairdo, support hose, Granny
shoes and no makeup?
B. · · Someone rolling on the floor while speaking in tongues uncontrollably?
C. · · A slick-haired televangelist in a white suit who begs for donations?
D. · · A sour-faced Christian who looks like he just sucked all the juice out of a lemon?
E.···· A sincere Christian who passionately loves God and people and believes in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit?
I wish we all could answer E., but we Pentecostals have an image problem. I'm not ashamed of the word itself, but I don't use it as a label because the bad stereotypes (A., B., C. and D.) have just about ruined it for the rest of us. Many people associate Pentecostals with dry legalism, fanaticism, charlatanism and downright hatefulness. read more

Between 1982 and 1996, the Ixil and Quiché people took refuge in the mountains as a last resort to save themselves from the massacres carried out by the Guatemalan Army, which took the lives of more than 200,000 indigenous people. After those fourteen years, the communities ended up settling in the northeastern part of the range, an area currently under siege due to the wealth of natural resources to be found there. Lessons for a War is a celebration of the resistance of people preparing to defend themselves against another coming war. A chant of hope of a community that will not give up.
Timothy Dalton's second (and last) Bond movie is one of the least typical but also one of the most satisfying on its own terms. It's a revenge movie, for one thing, with Bond going AWOL to take on a ruthless Mexican drug baron (Robert Davi).
The latest from master director Abbas Kiarostami (Certified Copy; Close Up; A Taste of Cherry) is a strange, seductive and beguiling love story set in modern Tokyo. Akiko is a beautiful student who moonlights as a prostitute, unbeknownst to her boyfriend. A liaison with an elderly academic brings all manner of complication to all their lives…
"Every shot — everything you see, and everything you don't — imparts a disturbing and thrilling sense of discovery." AO Scott, New York Times
"A sly, teasing riff on the heart's irrational stirrings… You emerge elated and slightly dazed…. But the movie's sense of immutable desire resonates well after the lights have come up." Scott Foundas, Village Voice
Vancouver's Funerary Call performs a new, specially commissioned live score for this mind-blowing 1922 cult classic. Grave robbing, torture, possessed nuns and a satanic Sabbath are just a few of the ingredients that make up Benjamin Christensen's witches' brew of superstition, sorcery, surrealism and enlightenment.
"A unique film for its boldness in dealing with its taboo subject, for its amazing visual inventiveness, and also for its complex structure." Fernando Martin Pena, Defining Moments in Movies
"A truly unique work that still holds the power to unnerve even in today's jaded era." Jyotsna Kapur, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die
"An amazing experience. The film is overflowing with dark fairytale imagery, incredible makeup effects (especially Christensen himself in the role of a leering Lucifer) and shocking portrayals of torture that still make viewers cringe over 90 years later." Gregory Burkart, Fearnet.com
The music that German-born and New York City-based trumpeter Volker Goetze and Senegalese vocalist and kora player Ablaye Cissoko create transcends both geographic and musical boundaries. When the duo first came together for their 2008 debut, Sira, their collaboration resulted in a unique musical synthesis that fused the timeless tradition of the storyteller/griot with a modern perspective. On their Motema Music label debut, Amanke Dionti, Goetze and Cissoko again set out on a spiritual sonic journey, one that ranges from the desert and coast of West Africa to the urban landscapes of New York and Paris and which addresses themes of our ancient spiritual roots, and our hurried, dehumanized modern strife. In the tradition of the griot, Cissoko attempts to mend our souls with music, and with Goetze as his partner and champion, he succeeds, as their music is truly soul soothing.
Enter Timothy Dalton, a leaner, meaner 007. Bond is assigned to protect Georgi Koskov, an ex-KGB officer who is defecting to the British.

The "Brazilian Beatles", Os Mutantes combined rock, psychedelia and South American sounds to spearhead the Tropicalia movement. A singer-songwriter who also played bass and the keyboards, Arnaldo Baptista gave the band its pulse - guitarist Sergio Dias was his brother, and lead singer Rita Lee became his wife. In 1973, though, everything fell apart, marriage, band, and eventually Baptista's health (copious binges on LSD did not help). Yet against the odds Baptista has been able to recover his creativity and his career. This intimate documentary has a powerful, sometimes painful story to tell. Baptista is joined by collaborators and admirers Gilberto Gil, Sean Lennon, Devendra Banhart and Roberto Menescal.

Lola, a cabaret dancer, is raising a boy whose father, Michel, left seven years ago. She is waiting for him. She sings, dances and occasionally dallies with passing sailors. Roland Cassard, a childhood friend whom she meets by chance, falls deeply in love with her. But she is waiting for Michel…
"Magical… Lola is imbued with a poignant awareness of the transcience of happiness and the difficulties and unlikelihood of love." Geoff Andrew, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die

Curated by photographer Greg Girard, who will introduce the films: House of Bamboo & Long Arm of the Law The Walled City of Kowloon was an amazing and forbidding part of Hong Kong, and who better to introduce these films in which it features so centrally than photographer Greg Girard, whose book City of Darkness: Life in Kowloon Walled City is itself now legendary.
LONG ARM OF THE LAW Regarded as one of the top ten Chinese films ever made, this electrifying thriller was at the forefront of the "heroic bloodshed" films that dominated the Hong Kong industry in the 1980s. The story concerns a group of mainlanders, ex army men, looking to make a big score in Hong Kong.
Left to fend for themselves after their SS officer father and mother, staunch Nazi believers, are interred by the victorious Allies at the end of World War II, five German children undertake a harrowing journey that exposes them to the reality and consequences of their parents' actions. Led by the eldest sibling, 14-year old Lore (striking newcomer Saskia Rosendahl), they set out on a journey across a devastated country to reach their grandmother in the north.
"A lyrical, deeply affecting study into a rarely seen legacy of the Holocaust." - Megan Lehmann, The Hollywood Reporter
"Intense and emotional. Saskia Rosendahl is mesmerizing." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"Shortland's brilliant new film is an unsettling coming-of-age story that renders its judgement on Germany's crimes and strange aftermath of the war." - George Robinson, The Jewish Week
In honour of the late Lou Reed - another chance to see Julian Schnabel's film of his transcendent Berlin cycle of songs, complete wth Sharon Jones and Antony Hegarty on backing vocals.

I am all over this year's Spring collection by Nanette Lepore. It speaks to the playful side of the season. The part that not only satisfies us with new warm weather, but you know that point you come to during the spring when you're all antsy and itching to live your "summer life"? That part! Bold yet youthful colors, patterns, and stripes are coordinated perfectly throughout each garment. Although this Spring collection sets a fun and flirty tone, your look will very easily ooze sophistication. And look out this fall for Nanette Lepore's debut line of bags, something that I am super excited about!
If you are not familiar with the designer then no worries, because you can find her line right here in our home town! In our downtown State College area, Flesh Decor carries Nanette Lepore (among other popular designers) in their upscale boutique on Calder Way. So stop by and get acquainted!

This week in rock history, Bruce Springsteen trespassed on Elvis's property, Joy Division played in concert for the final time, rock critic Lester Bangs died, the Eagles reunited in style and TLC diva Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes passed away.
April 30, 1976 - Bruce Springsteen hops the fence at Graceland
Anyone who's attended a Bruce Springsteen show knows that the man can talk a blue streak: his legendary three-hour sets are littered with long anecdotes, and there's no story the Boss loves telling more than the time he got booted from Elvis Presley's front porch.
In 1976, while in Memphis on their hugely successful Born to Run tour, 26-year-old Springsteen and his E-Street Band cohort Steve Van Zandt decided to pay a 3 a.m. visit to Graceland. When he saw lights blazing inside the mansion, Springsteen climbed over the wall and ran to the front door; just as he was about to ring the doorbell, he was intercepted by security. Explaining his newfound rock fame and his recent covers of both Time and Newsweek, Springsteen poured on the charm and begged to be let inside – but instead, the unimpressed guards told him that Presley was out of town (which was true) and escorted him promptly to the sidewalk.
Elvis died at Graceland the following year. Regardless, he is united forever with Springsteen on the cover of Born to Run, where the Boss's guitar strap proudly bears an Elvis fan club button.
May 2, 1980 - Joy Division play their final concert
The meteoric rise of young English post-punks Joy Division reached its untimely end when singer Ian Curtis committed suicide on May 18, 1980, the eve of their first American tour. Two weeks prior, the band played Birmingham University in what would become their final show. The concert was taped and released as the second half of Still, Joy Division's 1981 double album of previously unreleased studio sessions and live recordings.
Joy Division formed in Manchester in 1976 and released their first record, the seminal Unknown Pleasures, in 1979. Their follow-up, Closer, was released in July of 1980, two months after Curtis's death. The surviving members of Joy Division – guitarist-turned-singer Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook, and drummer Stephen Morris—regrouped later that year as New Order, and their 1981 debut single, "Ceremony" was an unreleased Joy Division cut that the defunct group performed just once: at that very last Birmingham University gig.
April 30, 1982 - Lester Bangs dies
"The difference here…is in the hype, the thick overlay of teenage-revolution and total-energy-thing which conceals these scrapyard vistas of clichés and ugly noise," Lester Bangs wrote of rockers MC5 in Rolling Stone in 1969. Just as easily, the passage could have been describing his own complex, self-deprecating genius: Bangs, a widely influential music critic, analyzed rock & roll with verbose, acidic passion, lauding the raw intensity of punk and railing against what he perceived to be the growing sterilization of rock in the late Seventies.
A prolific writer, Bangs was infamous for writing all night in cough syrup-infused, gonzo benders. His work appeared in Rolling Stone, the Village Voice, NME and Creem (where he was an editor) before he died from an overdose of painkillers in his New York City apartment at age 33. He remains the subject of numerous article compendiums and biographies, including Jim DeRogatis's Let It Blurt, and was portrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman in Almost Famous.

DENVER -- Peyton Manning finished with 338 yards and three touchdown passes Sunday to lift the Denver Broncos to a 37-6 victory over the Oakland Raiders.
Manning opened the game by leading the Broncos on an 80-yard touchdown drive -- their first opening-quarter touchdown of the season -- and Denver never trailed.
The Broncos (2-2) beat the Raiders (1-3) at home for the first time since 2007.
Willis McGahee ran for 112 yards for his 32nd-career 100-yard game.
The Broncos held Darren McFadden to 34 yards on 13 carries and Carson Palmer, who led Oakland to a comeback win last week over Pittsburgh, never got on track. He finished 19 for 34 for 202 yards.

I watched the first episode of Almost Human last night. I enjoyed it! It definitely fills my sci-fi show slot which has been empty for a while. I love futuristic/sci-fi stuff (Fringe, Firefly, Dollhouse, etc.) but I haven't had a show for a while. J. J. Abrams knows his sci-fi so I knew this would be something to keep me interested.
I love Karl Urban. I remember first seeing him when he was on Xena (he played Julius Caesar) and I've been a fan ever since. Michael Ealy is gorgeous and I love him too. The last show he was on (Common Law) was really good and I enjoyed it but it got cancelled after one season.
I watch way too much television. It's a sickness... It would actually be easier to list what I don't watch! But this season my two new favorite shows are Sleepy Hollow and Witches of East End. I just like the concept of Sleepy Hollow and the way it ties into history, religion, etc. Plus the dynamic between Crane and Mills is really funny. I like Witches of East End b/c it reminds me of Charmed (huge fan of that show) but not so much that I feel like they're copying the show.
I'm pretty sure Almost Human will now be added to my ever growing list of shows.

Today is Warren's birthday....Itsajeepthing........stop by & wish him a Happy Birthday.........spread the word.........
"Thought U.S. companies were forbidden from doing business with Iran. Guess Obama lifted that ban." What sanctions? Did someone say anything about sanctions? I didn't hear anything. Doesn't mean squat with our government or for our country any longer which is partly why the rest of the world doesn't look up to us like it once did. They'll only make it worse yet.
Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July Holiday weekend!
"Export crude but not the refined stuff..." Regrettably, we export that as well, which helps them to achieve their goal of keeping the price of oil and gas up higher. Have a great 4th in spite of the top 2% that run the show.
The media is also part of it as they keep on pumping some of the same news over and over on CNN, MSNBC, FOX Business, Bloomberg, and elsewhere. There IS plenty of oil, but they want more money. Greed and manipulation baby, and so many of those Democrats and Republicans in Congress are making out better and have big smiles on their faces. Pelosi, Boehner, Kerry, and many, many others.
Those that I mentioned below are ALL part of the MANIPULATORS and Big Oil, OPEC, and others more so as they control the supply, which is where Obama, his administration, Warren Buffet, Congress as well as railways, the big Banks, Big Oil and others come into play. That's who's to blame for higher prices and it's going to make prices higher everywhere. DON'T be duped by the media and the government and the ultra-wealthy and their PR people as you and too many are.
"Now down with the speculators." Speculators are only looking to make a profit if they can, and you and I and everyone who makes an investment are speculators. We DON'T drive up the prices. The MANIPULATORS do! Obama, his administration [He and they helped to approve this happening], many in Congress [Democrats and Republicans both have money invested in oil, gas, natural gas, etc.], Al-Qaeda, many among the ultra-wealthy, the Taliban, OPEC, Big Oil, Putin, the eco-Nazis and many others among the top 2% of the world want gas to be $5 to $14 a gallon here in the US. They're going to make certain it happens!
roadrunnerMO, your ethanol response made no sense. Yes, it was a Senator from Iowa who introduced the bill. He is a Republican, not a Democrat. The bill was strongly supported by Bush43, another Republican. Now, what has that got to do with you wanting Democrats out of the Senate? Based on that alone, I'd think you would prefer the Democrats. Personally, I don't like either party.
Buddy request accepted. Yeah, I believe that one of the most pernicious ideas afloat is "Amnesty" for the illegal aliens. I came close to running for Congress on this lone issue. Did you grow up in Oakland or do you just like the Athletics? Aren't they leading their division? My son and I are Orioles fans. My Dad was a Baltimoron and we adopted the team. Have a good Memorial Day weekend.
Re: "Also Al Gore and his private jet provide plenty of pollutants and he invented global warming."
Haha. That's a good one! They are not very consistent, but at least the "greenies" provide a steady flow of humor. Thanks for posting.

Landis/Moss Lake Cemetery
Hi Judy,
You left a flower for an unknown Landis in the Moss Lake Michigan Cemetery. I've photographed the whole cemetery and am working with another person cleaning up the dates that were incorrect on find a grave. In the records that I have I don't have anything for this particular Landis--all of them appear to be accounted for. So I was wondering if this was an incorrect entry, or if it matches up with someone I'm not aware of.

Familiarity will be the key word when the Tigers meet Tulane in a 6 p.m. Conference USA football game at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.
* Tulane OC Eric Price spent the past two seasons at Memphis in the same position under former Tiger coach Larry Porter. Price's role, however, was de-emphasized in 2011. Price is flourishing at Tulane behind a fifth-year senior QB, Ryan Griffin.
* Tulane OL coach John McDonnell held the same position at Memphis in 2010.
* Tulane coach Curtis Johnson is the father of former Tiger receiver Curtis `Trey' Johnson, who is attempting to gain one final season of eligibility in 2013 to play for his father.
* Tulane cornerback Ryan Travis is the cousin of Tiger receiver Reggie Travis. The two are likely to battle one another at several points during the game. They were teammates at Plaquemine High in Plaquemine, La.
* Representatives of Curtis Johnson inquired about the Memphis job that went to Justin Fuente last December.
* Tulane QB coach Mike Neu is the former head coach of the Arena Football League's New Orleans VooDoo. Neu's QB for the VooDoo was Danny Wimprine, the New Orleans native and former University of Memphis QB.

The development of the rosary has a long history. First, a practice developed of praying 150 Our Fathers in imitation of the 150 Psalms. Then there was a parallel practice of praying 150 Hail Marys. Soon a mystery of Jesus' life was attached to each Hail Mary. Though Mary's giving the rosary to St. Dominic is recognized as a legend, the development of this prayer form owes much to the followers of St. Dominic. One of them, Alan de la Roche, was known as "the apostle of the rosary." He founded the first Confraternity of the Rosary in the 15th century. In the 16th century the rosary was developed to its present formwith the 15 mysteries (joyful, sorrowful and glorious). In 2002, Pope John Paul II added the Mysteries of Light to this devotion.

CARY — The highlight so far of Dorrel McClain's stellar senior season at Panther Creek came Sept. 20, when he helped lead the Catamounts to a come-from-behind victory over top-ranked Leesville Road.
Looking back, McClain can't help but smile.
He said he's friends with Braxton Berrios, Leesville's standout senior who committed recently to University of Miami.
"We knew coming into the the game we were going to challenge each other," McClain said of Berrios.
The start of the first quarter wasn't much of a challenge for Leesville. Then Berrios suffered an injury to his left foot just before halftime, and Panther Creek head coach Sean Crocker made adjustments to get the ball to McClain.
It worked: McClain exploded, scoring all five of the Catamounts' touchdowns and leading the team to a 34-21win.
Panther Creek had been a team that grew accustomed to losing in 2012, often by narrow margins. The Cats had a dismal 1-10 record last year, picking up their only win against Apex.
In retrospect, McClain said, last year's team was "selfish."
"After losing a few games, we had it in our minds we had no chance," he said.
Then something changed in the Panther Creek mindset, and McClain was front and center of the transformation. Players hit the weight room hard over the summer, he said, and the experience brought the team together.
So far this year, Panther Creek is 5-2. The team fell to Wake Forest in the season-opener, then lost a heartbreaker to Southwest Wake Athletic Conference rival Middle Creek on Friday.
"It's this whole team," McClain said. "We came together as a family."
McClain has emerged as a sort of patriarch, leading the team with 13 touchdowns and 845 rushing yards this year.
"Dorrel is having an excellent year," said Crocker, who is in his second year as head coach at Panther Creek. "He's a hard worker – he's always been."
'He pushes everybody'
McClain, 18, has had a football in his hands as long as he can remember.
And he comes from a football family. His father played for Cary High, he said, and his older brother played for Apex.
McClain spent his freshman season at Holly Springs, where he played on the junior varsity. Then his family moved, and McClain earned a spot on Panther Creek's varsity as a sophomore.
Last year, he pretty much did it all for the Catamounts, playing three different positions on offense.
Oh, he played defense and returned some kicks, too.
McClain doesn't have so much on his plate these days, so he can focus entirely on making big plays as a running back.
"He's a key guy," Crocker said. "I told him coming into the year we were going to lean on him."
Brenden Magner, Panther Creek's junior quarterback, looks to McClain during games and practice.
"Whenever I can get him the ball, he makes plays," Magner said. "He makes everybody around him better."
Magner also said those weight-room sessions have been crucial to the team. "He pushes everybody around him to work hard," he said of McClain.
Some colleges have expressed interest, and McClain's hoping to play for Elon University. He's already visited, he said, and appreciated that the coaches and players seemed down to earth. "It just feels like I'm home when I'm there," he said.
But before he heads to college, McClain has work to do at Panther Creek. There's still a lot of football to play: The team will face Fuquay-Varina on Friday, then Apex, Holly Springs and Green Hope.
McClain has big hopes for his team, but this is his biggest wish: "I just want us to stay humble."
This is his family, after all.

(Note from Tim Bayly: This is the first in a series of articles written by Craig French for Christ the Word's newsletter. At my request, Craig is allowing the series to run here on Baylyblog. Thank you, Craig, for your faithful work in our behalf.)
Many Christians find it difficult to apply the doctrine of the Trinity. Truth be told, even the most orthodox Christians stumble trying to articulate how this teaching is relevant; yet early on in the Church, godly men died to preserve this doctrine.
How have we gone from dying for truth about God to scratching our heads about its importance? Probably too long of a story with rabbit trails every three feet causing us to become distracted. The short story, I'm convinced, is that we are very Trinitarian...we just don't realize it. That's not something I came up with...
Fred Sander's book The Deep Things of God (Crossway 2010) shows page after page how evangelicals are Trinitarian to their core, but unconsciously so. Sanders uses an analogy: fish never think about water. They live and move and find their way of life in it. Similarly, evangelicals rarely think about the Trinity. But our prayer lives reflect the Trinity as we pray to God the Father through the Son by the Holy Spirit. Apart from the Trinity, we wouldn't know how to pray. With the Trinity, we know how to. Jesus taught us to pray to "our Father." We must pray in the name of Jesus, God's Son. When we don't know how to pray, God helps us. The Spirit "groans" within us (Romans 8:26). Even if we have trouble using words to express the Trinity, the Trinity meets us in our prayers.
The analogy of fish and water isn't supposed to justify our lack of knowledge of the Trinity. It shows us that our lives are (or should be) Trinitarian. Just because we haven't been self-conscious about it doesn't mean we shouldn't be. We should. Our families suffer because we don't commit ourselves to the Trinity openly. The truth is, there is no teaching more practical than the Trinity. If we are created in the image of God, then Who God is must be relevant to who we are and how we are supposed to live. Do we remember that at the very beginning of the Bible, in Genesis 1:26 God says, "Let Us make man in Our image?"
So you pray to the Father through the Son by the Holy Spirit. But what is the Trinity?
The Trinity is God.
But what is God?
God is love (1John 4:8;16) and love cannot be solitary. That is, love cannot be love if there is no one else to direct that love toward. If God is love, He must always have someone toward whom that love is directed.
Think about this: if God were solitary--if He were only one Person--then love could only come into play after another person came into existence. If God were simply one Person, He could not be love. But we already know from God's Word that at His core God is love. The Trinity shows God's love within the Godhead.
The Trinity is the teaching that God is one in essence, yet three in Person. The Persons of the Trinity are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are one in that each possesses the same deity (what makes them God); but they are distinguished as Persons having eternal relationships within the Godhead. Remember Jesus' command at the great commissioning was, "baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit?" Not "names" but "name." Singular.
And within the One True God are relationships defined by love. They have always existed, and so love has always existed.
On the surface, the teaching of the Trinity seems like it should be attractive to all men. Everyone seems to love love. We listen to love ballads, talk about love, love makes the world go round, all you need is love and all that. So why isn't everyone Trinitarian?
The Trinity is too "intrusive" for our sinful tastes. At the core of this God of love are Three Persons Who are complete without us. God is love without us. He doesn't need us. This is what makes God holy: He is separate from us; He is complete without us and perfect in every way. Love cannot be broken because no Person of the Trinity will ever cease to exist. They are eternal. We are not.
A holy God of love intrudes upon us. He doesn't need us. Worse yet, He is described as "He" and makes demands upon us. We love our liberty. Not liberty from sin, but liberty from "thou shalt not." That much is obvious in the world, but sadly, it is not limited to the world. So-called evangelicals have been trying to neuter God by denying His Fatherhood and making love innocuous, stripping it of any hint of demands. They don't want God to be true love. But if we strip god of his fatherhood, we have neutered him and such a god is no true God. Such a god is like a dog who only does what we want. And the kind of love we attribute to him isn't love. It's puppy love. We want a lap dog--not the Holy Trinity.
If we are created in the image of the Trinity, our love has to go deeper. We can't just go along to get along. Some families get along as long as the T.V. is on. Mysteriously, once the T.V. goes off, sin starts crackling within the household. So the T.V. stays on. It becomes a crutch that keeps peace. There's no cultivation of love, and certainly no demands. If there is to be real cultivation, demands must be made. Authority must be used and order shaped out of chaos... this is painful stuff that requires work.
But Jesus worked as He saw His Father work, and if we are His followers, we must do our work, also.
Besides the work in our families, there's also our own sin to overcome; and this is hard work, too. Praise be to the Trinity, we are saved because of the invasive acts of Jesus taking on our flesh, dying, and being resurrected! Praise be to the Trinity, the Spirit gives us new life and provides us power to overcome sin! The Spirit gives us words to speak when we need them! Blood sacrifice, life in the midst of death, and resurrection don't always feel like "love." Certainly they're not the love we're used to.
But love is not a feeling. God didn't call us to feel lovey-dovey; He has called us to imitate Himself. He's called us to fight our sin, to lead our families, to submit to our husbands, and to serve one another.
No slave is greater than his master.
As fathers, our love should reflect God's. It should be invasive, pressing, imposing and shaping our families. This is precisely what men hate: consistent, faithful love. Love that fulfills responsibility.
Some may allow us a masculine deity, but then rob him of his intrusiveness. He must be generic. He may be "him," but only a dried up form of a masculinity that renders "him" innocuous. He is allowed to be a god with a long white beard. A grandfather who fits the distant, irrelevant figure receiving periodic visits whenever the grandkids have extra time on their hands. Not the Lord of hosts, the Mighty God, but a resident of the heavenly nursing home.
But God tells us He is Father--not grandfather.
Fatherhood and love are intrusive. This should be the God we love: the God of love. The Father sent His Son. The Son invaded His creation by taking on the flesh of man. When He ascended, He sent the Holy Spirit in an even more powerful way to invade the world. As His sons, we are called to intrusive work. We must not remain aloof among our family members, occasionally barking out orders while giving ourselves a pass on the housework. We must not go along to get along. We must not watch our friends and neighbors go Hellward as we do our best to hold back the awkward truth of sin and the judgment to come from them.
Love begins with God, and the source is the Father.
I enjoyed your piece, and it is true that we are Trinitarians without realizing it. But there is a 2nd part to that statement, which is that when our doctrine is attacked, say, on the issue of egalitarianism, it invariably is a result of misunderstanding the Trinity. We cannot even come close to the Biblical doctrine of men-women relations without understanding the Trinity. That's because the family is patterned after the Trinity--Paul said so.
Likewise when we struggle with forms of government, both church and society, our perception or ideal for a leader comes from the Trinity. It is the breakdown of the modern family that has caused such a breakdown in democracy in our nation, and likewise, the inability for democracy to take root in the Muslim world is a consequence of the lack of Trinitarian faith.
Much more I could say, but I refer you to a blog I wrote on this topic some 3 years ago: http://procrustes.blogtownhall.com/2008/02/15/the_time-translated_trinit...
(or if you want to see all the blog posts at once:
http://procrustes.blogtownhall.com/page15 )
I think I mostly agree with you. This first part addresses egalitarianism, but the second installment even more directly addresses it with some argumentation. One of my goals was to show we are unconsciously Trinitarian...then connect the dots to what it means to be not only conscious of the Trinity, but what some implications for our lives include.

The FBI is Keeping Tabs on Americans Who Went to Syria
- By Brian Feldman

- January 10, 2014
- Leave a comment
The FBI claims that extremist groups with ties to al-Qaeda in Syria are attempting to recruit Americans and get them to carry out attacks when they return to America, and officials say that at least 70 Americans have traveled to Syria since civil war broke out in the country.
According to The New York Times, "tracking Americans who have returned from Syria had become one of the bureau's highest counterterrorism priorities." The bureau's director, James Comey, told reporters, "We are focused on trying to figure out what our people are up to, who should be spoken to, who should be followed, who should be charged." Specific numbers were not provided.
Tracking migration to and from Syria has become a complex problem for western countries in recent years. Analysts estimate that at least 1,200 European Muslims have traveled to Syria as well.

Trying to Figure Out the Obamacare Case? Let's Ask a Cuba Apologist!
Seriously, check out Andrea Mitchell, reporting from the Pope's visit to Cuba:
We're seeing this debate in our country about universal health care, the mandate, the Supreme Court arguments today. We have univeral coverage here -- of course, it's a very different society, and an economic model that would not work in the United States. What do you see as the advantages of the Cuban system....
Granted, the last time I was in Cuba was just after the previous Pope had been there, but what struck me about the Cuban health care system then was that the average Cuban (quite unlike the visiting 2nd-world dignitary, or rich Western medical tourist), did not have any access to aspirin, even at those vaunted health clinics. You could reduce a Cuban mother to grateful sobs by bearing the gift of rubbing alcohol. What the system had in droves was doctors and nurses (especially helpful if you were a foreigner who needed a lot of physical therapy). What it didn't have was, you know, medicine. And supplies. And any patient-side input into care.

Wow, check out that awesome green screen monitor. Now that's health care... from 30 years ago.
"Wherever there is a jackboot stomping on a human face there will be a well-heeled Western liberal to explain that the face does, after all, enjoy free health care and 100 percent literacy."
― John Derbyshire
Watch out with that Derbyshire stuff. He's a race realist, y'know.
He's a race realist, y'know.
Not sure what that means; I just like the quote.
I think it is something that racist assholes use to justify their bigotry. "We're not racist, we're just racial realists".
Even though science and all the evidence back up what they say, they are still assholes.
Much like science backs up IDiots?
It's probably people who use facts. Facts is racist!
A true racial realist would encourage interracial marriage and sexual relations that lead to offspring. The advantages of hybrids make for a more vigorous human race.
Derbyshire is married to a Chinese woman.
Race realists tend to focus heavily on intelligence and therefore see little merit in hybridizing "down."
I don't agree with all of what he said, but Derbyshire's book We Are Doomed was quite good.
The chapter where he points out the giant unspoken truth that when people say "good schools" they mean "white schools" is very good indeed.
I mean, I'm sorry of this makes me an awful mean terrible racist, but it's simply factual that if you could choose between putting your kid in a school that's 80% white versus 80% black, you're probably going to choose the majority white one. I don't think it's racist to point that out and discuss why this is so. I think it's unfair to imply or state that someone is a racist because they actually think and write about racial issues.
I think it's unfair to imply or state that someone is a racist because they actually think and write about racial issues.
I think you mean the opposite.
Unfortunately for the good of public discourse, even noticing group differences in performance on intelligence tests is enough to get one labeled a racist, unless you immediately smother any such observation with qualifications about the deleterious effects of poverty, discrimination, etc.
Oops, sorry. After reading a little less hastily, I see that you do mean what you said.
(Damn trying to respond at work.)
But even that said, we spend about a sixth of our schooling years in school, and we only start that five years or so after birth. So much of the difference can be ascribed to environment. And environments couldn't be more different.
I don't really know how to make claims about innate intelligence because in my experience the level of preparedness and parent engagement is so enormously different. I suspect the influence genetics on intelligence is more important than we pretend.
When I tutored kids in high school, which was two or so times a week at an inner-city school, they were kids who didn't have a book in their house until kindergarten forced one on them. Even the ones with stable family environments had complete parental disengagement.
I don't know whether it's more racist to say it's a problem of culture or genetics or both, but culture differences are huge.
The environment question has been (and continues to be) researched heavily. So far, the hypothesis that the nurture side is mostly to blame has not held up.
Can you post a link to that assertion
A major network would do this?

Castro: "But it's free!"
everyone knows bushitler denied insurance coverage for the 9/11 first responders, so they went to cuba for treatment...und cigars rolled on the thighs on nubian babes

I hear the new Packards are in!
I don't know how many Nubians made it to Cuba. Nubile Cuban women, there are plenty of them.
So, the link has pictures of nubians, but nothing for nubile - what a rip.
I try to be SFW. Besides, anything I posted would ignite the John/sarcasmic preferred body-type war.
Yes but the collateral damage from those wars are pictures of hot women.

Gosh, I wish we could be rich and free like Cubans!
We're getting there. Just wait.
Don't get my hopes up!
Just you wait, you ungrateful fucking crackers... you'll get what's coming to you.

Your personal pasttimes are none of our business.
I submit that we should henceforth call posts like these snark bait.
Yeah, that's better.
Jumping the snark.
You would, you Sharkopheliac.

I think I just had a sargasm.
That is sarctastic!
You sure it wasn't a snargasm?
"We shouldn't underemphasize the infrastructure problems, the impact of the embargo-"
The destructive impact of Communism, you fucking idiot.
Yes, that's absolutely right. While I think the embargo at this point is silly, it's not why Cuba has a wrecked economy.
But it has been, is, and shall forever be the boogeyman. Which is why it must end.
They do trade with Europe, don't they? I mean, is there some magical good that only we can provide and Europe can't? Or China, even - that's we get all our shit.
And the whole rest of the world, I believe. Including the rest of the Western Hemisphere.
" I mean, is there some magical good that only we can provide and Europe can't?"
American Exceptionalism?
Would you buy that right now?
Yes. Yes I would. Granted it has become a boutique item these days instead of being available everywhere like it was when I was a kid.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
A Canadian or Australian dollar, to be clear...
But a Canadian Dollar is worth more than an American Dollar.
While I think the embargo at this point is silly, it's not why Cuba has a wrecked economy.
They trade with Canada, South America, Europe. The embargo imposes some costs, but if Cuba had an actual economy, the effect would be marginal.
Or what RC Dean said.
Tell Castro this:
We'll not only lift the embargo, we'll send shitloads of business your way - IF you allow your people to have a ballot with more than one name on it.
Blanket-leaflet that to the Cuban people, while we're at it.
Then, maybe, chute-drop some guns...
There are no external restrictions on Cuba trading with the rest of the world, AFAIK. That leaves 85% of the world for Cuba to trade with.
I really don't see how the US embargo can be blamed for much of anything. It would be like saying GM went bankrupt because it couldn't sell cars in California.
Maybe because the US is a major exporter of medical supplies and equipment?
Just a guess.
At worst, if Cuba can't buy an alternative from someone else, our exports can come in through another country. And do, I'm sure.
our exports can come in through another country
They're not supposed to.
And do, I'm sure.
Of course they do. Laws are not magic. But I'm sure there are federal employees with armed men at their beck and call whose sole job is to prevent our exports from entering Cuba via a third party.
Let me be clear. Not for much longer. It isn't fair that only the USA has disposable syringes.
"Maybe because the US is a major exporter of medical supplies and equipment?
Just a guess."
Guess again.
This may come as a surprise, but there is more to medical supplies and equipment than simply pharmaceuticals.
But considering you're just a bitchy little troll, I'm not surprised.
One of the specific problems mentioned in the article is a lack of access to aspirin. Which indicates it's not a problem with the embargo, it's a problem with poverty.
Or a problem with child proof bottle tops.
What nonsense. Obviously Cubans don't have access to aspirin and rubbing alcohol because the Cuban State hasn't established a right to those things yet. Once they do, the products will magically appear in great abundance.
Yes, that evil American conglomerate Bayer is denying them access to aspirin.
Wir sindt [words for 'not guilty' in German]!!
And to think she's married to a guy who used to be an Objectivist inner-circle dude.
She married him because she knew he was so old and feeble that he would leave her alone. Do you think she is gonna hang around when he gets senile and starts drooling?
As soon as I saw a Cuba post, I thought "hey, is Moynihan back?"
He sure hates him some Cuba. Bless.
Basically, everything that's wrong with Cuba is our fault, and everything that's right (house calls, wow!) is due to the great Cuban ethic of humanitarianism.
An odd fact about Andrea Mitchell: she's married to Alan Greenspan.
An odd fact about Alan Greenspan: He's not remotely a believer in free markets.
Honestly looking to Cuba (a small island nation) for healthcare answers for the United States (a huge nation with a diversity of problems and governments) isn't practical. Canada would be a much better example.
Canada has approximately the same population as Texas. I'm not sure Canada would work as a model for the California state system, much less a national one.
Unless that was more snark, in which case, rock on.
Just under 26 for Texas, and about 33.5 for Canada (2011 figures). So much land, so few people, eh? Annexation, anybody?
Just leave Vancouver. The last thing the US needs is one more hipster douchebag enclave.
And the vast majority of them are within 50 miles of the border. We wouldn't even have to drive very far!
Which is a good thing, considering what gas prices are these days.
Canada would be a much better example.
I don't think driving across the southern border to get quicker access to medical care is an option for the US.
When I lived in San Antonio (and lacked dental insurance) I used to go to Mexico for the dentist. Dentists since then have marvelled at the fantastic job done providing a filling on one molar. "That is beautiful work!"
Define "medical care".
LOL. Probably not involving tattoos or stress relief.
Though actually I do know some folks who go on antibiotic shopping sprees south of the border every once in a while.
OT: I found the archetypal Dallas Cowboys fan.

lousy booze-hounds.
OT: here in Ohio a law has been passed requiring schools to teach the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and the supporting writings. Care to guess who opposes this?
This is the correct answer.
Still, I get one of their criticisms, which is that this is limited to the founding documents, and thus does not teach the entirety of the Amendments. Some important stuff happened after the Bill of Rights. And apparently some are saying the Bill of Rights isn't included either, although I don't know either way, but that would be stupid as the BoR was necessary to attain agreement on the Constitution.
Teachers? Cops?
Come on, CC, don't leave us hanging.
Yes CC do tell.
Bengals fans?

As a woman once told me when I was visiting Leningra-er..um-Saint Petersburg "Everything is so expensive now, under Communism everything was affordable. Not everything was available, but it was affordable..." With no sense of the irony ...
This is envy. People hate going to the store and seeing shit they can't buy, but their neighbors can. Misery loves company is a cliche, but a true one.
You nailed it Mitch. Envy is the prime motivator in most of everything people do, especially politics.
Sounds like the Russian version of the old joke:
"This food is terrible! And the portions are so small!"
But at least all shortages were equally distributed amongst the peasants.
Yeah, government utterly fucked up healthcare and insurance, so let's bitch about how house calls are gone and middlemen are evil child rapists and propose even more government fuck-ups to fix the previous fuck-ups.
These pinko fucks honestly never cease to amaze me. The delusions are definitively eternal.
"...did not have any access to aspirin, even at those vaunted health clinics. You could reduce a Cuban mother to grateful sobs by bearing the gift of rubbing alcohol."
I spent some time in various latin countries with free health care where people would go to cuba because of its superior health care. If you wanted meds you were shit-outta-luck, but if you wanted Coke or MJ you could drown yourself in it for a few bucks. Hmmm, I wonder what that says about markets?
Pretty easy to have a low infant mortality rate when you encourage (force) mortality on pre-infants!

Do you have to bring your own knives too?
It's all a bad joke
Do you have to bring your own knives too?
....and forks. Hey, we're not running a fucking charity in the workers paradise.
Andrea Mitchell gives free health care to Fidel. If blowjobs are covered of course.
There are many doctors and nurses in Cuba. Many are driving taxicabs because it pays better. Also, many Cuban doctors have come to the US and are working as nurses. Of course, that pays WAY better.
Fidel prefers my lips to Andrea's.
Of course Cuban health care providers are focused on prevention. It's all they can do. They don't have the supplies to treat somebody once they get sick.

MBTA Acting General Manager Jonathan Davis said Wednesday that the operator of the Green Line trolley that crashed at Boylston Station last Thursday was "solely responsible" for the crash and has been fired.
The operator, who Davis declined to identify, showed up after working an overnight shift at a second job and was therefore unfit for duty, he said. The employee was fired for "alarming disregard for customer safety," Davis said.
The man had been working from midnight to 8 a.m. at a second job, then reported to his MBTA job at 11 a.m. The crash happened at 11:48 a.m. Davis said it's unclear whether the man fell asleep at the wheel.
The crash caused passenger injury, throwing at least one man from a stopped train at Boylston, and half a million dollars in damages, Davis said.
Davis did not comment on the type of second job the operator had, but said that it was part-time and that he was a full-time MBTA employee. The day before the crash, the man had worked the same midnight to 8 a.m. shift at the second job and an 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. shift at the MBTA. The operator had been through fatigue-awareness training twice in the past year, according to Davis.
There are no policies against MBTA drivers having second jobs but each assumes a personal responsibility to make sure they are fit for duty, Davis said.
Asked what the employee made, Davis did not provide a figure but said, "The MBTA does provide a good salary. It provides good benefits to all our employees."

Daniel Bryan
Real Name
Bryan Danielson
Date of Birth
May 22, 1981
Place of Birth
To further their story line, WWE has revealed that Stephanie McMahon has invited Brie Bella to make an appearance on the next episode of Monday Night Raw. This should move them closer to the long rumored match at Summerslam 2014. The belief is that this also gives the company an opportunity to showcase Daniel Bryan and capitalize on the fame that he recently picked up by detaining a burglar.
July 28, 2014
A video of the police press conference featuring WWE stars Daniel Bryan, who detained a burglar at his home, and Brie Bella.
July 26, 2014
While he is already revered by WWE fans, Daniel Bryan has now become a real life hero. The former world heavyweight champion and Brie Bella were coming home when they noticed that their front door was open. Upon realizing that they were being burglarized, Bryan immediately pursued one of the thieves and put him into a rear naked choke before police officers arrived on the scene to arrest him.
July 26, 2014
Fans in attendance at the Comic Con event in San Diego this week have a chance to meet Christopher Daniels. The former TNA star has a booth there to promote his comic book. Daniels was paid a visit by Daniel Bryan, who was sent to the show by WWE to help promote the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game. The two of them had a nice talk and posed for a social media picture together.
July 25, 2014
One the things that made Kenta Kobayashi so famous in Japan was his diverse moves set. Unfortunately, though, a lot of his signature maneuvers cannot e utilized in WWE. His Go 2 Sleep finisher is commonly associated with CM Punk nowadays. His knee finisher and submission move are both being used by Daniel Bryan. The belief is that WWE will have him come up with new moves in developmental.
July 20, 2014
For whatever reasons, Mick Foley took to social media this week to defend Batista, stating that it was unfair for fans to have this much hate towards him and his WWE return. Foley mentioned that Batista was at the wrong place at the wrong time because fans were so desperate to see Daniel Bryan being given a proper push. He also feels that not enough people are happy for Batista being featured in a big movie this summer.
July 14, 2014
While many are under the impression that he is temporarily holding the WWE Championship until Daniel Bryan can return from a serious neck injury, word coming out of backstage is that John Cena is expected to have a lengthy title reign. Management wants people to believe that his 15th title reign is very important, so they might keep the belt on him a long time to emphasize that.
July 12, 2014
Initially, Daniel Bryan had surgery to repair a seriously damaged neck. However, doctors found further issues for the former WWE champion recently. His shoulders are pretty messed up as well. Additional procedures could be required to repair all of the damage to his body. Bryan is out indefinitely, and there is no timetable backstage for his return.
July 10, 2014
By now, everyone should know that WWE has plans on pushing Roman Reigns into the main event scene. However, not everyone knows that the original plan was not this accelerated. Management has decided to pull the trigger much quicker on the Reigns push because of the absence of Daniel Bryan, who is still indefinitely on the sideline due to a serious neck injury. There are some concerns backstage that Reigns could be ruined if the push is rushed too quickly.
July 10, 2014
Some rumors have surfaced that Daniel Bryan is returning to WWE soon, and the cause of the confusion is over the fact that he was spotted in the ring with his wrestling gear on last night. The former world heavyweight champion was simply filming a public service announcement. Even though he informed the fans in the arena that he might still need another surgery to repair his damaged neck, some were still under the belief that he was coming back soon.
July 2, 2014
While there is still a chance that he was working the audience during his speech at Money in the Bank 2014, the topic of Daniel Bryan require a second surgery to repair his neck is a major issue for WWE. Reports are surfacing that if it is true that he needs to go under the knife again, there is a very good chance that Bryan could miss up to a year of action.
June 30, 2014
There is a feeling within the WWE locker room that management does not want Daniel Bryan back in the main event scene when he makes his return. Some are pointing out how he is being brought back in a minimum role at Money in the Bank 2014 as a sign of WWE downplaying his importance. Guys like Batista and Brock Lesnar would not be utilized in such a manner when they come back from their hiatus.
June 29, 2014
Those that have been following Mick Foley closely over the last year are aware that there is some sort of backstage heat between he and Vince McMahon. WWE has given him the cold shoulders on a couple of occasions. Foley has now revealed a possible source of that friction. He accidentally sent a message to McMahon while trying to send to Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan. The content of that message was Foley complaining about WWE not doing the right thing and putting Bryan over when his popularity was at its peak.
June 27, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of news, reports are surfacing that the audience at Monday Night Raw did not react much when WWE announced that Daniel Bryan would be making an appearance at Money in the Bank 2014. That comes as a surprise because he was really one of the most popular guys in the industry before he left to have surgery on his injured neck. It should be interesting to see how fans react to him at the pay per view itself.
June 24, 2014
Some bad news for those of you that hate John Cena. Rumors are pointing to him being at the head of the line as the next WWE champion. Cena is expected to win the title at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company wants to put the title back around the waist of their most proven draw. If Cena wins the belt again, potential feuds include Bray Wyatt, Brock Lesnar and Daniel Bryan.
June 22, 2014
Some new rumors have popped up in regards to Brock Lesnar coming back to WWE. Since Daniel Bryan is still on the shelf, management wants to utilize Lesnar in a higher profile role. That desire might even cause the company to change their mind about who comes out as the new heavyweight champion at Money in the Bank 2014. Initially, the belief was that a heel was going to win the belt and feud with Bryan, but there is a strong chance now that a face will win, so that they can defend against Lesnar.
June 19, 2014
There's some potentially bad news if you're a big fan of Daniel Bryan, as rumors are now surfacing that he might not be healthy enough to make a return at Summerslam 2014 as previously predicted. WWE wants to be very careful with his situation, as something negative could trigger a big storm with the mainstream media. Bryan is featured heavily on Total Divas and is one of the more known stars now in the industry.
June 19, 2014
Rumors going around right now has WWE giving the world heavyweight championship to a heel at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company will set someone up to feud with John Cena and Daniel Bryan over the next few months. Antonio Cesaro has been rumored for a few weeks now, but some are skeptical of that because he hasn't been given a ton of momentum by WWE. Management will either hot shot the belt to Bray Wyatt or go with the safe route in Randy Orton.
June 16, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Daniel Bryan will be returning at Money in the Bank 2014 and being the mystery entrant in the ladder match to determine a new WWE champion. However, those speculations might have simply been fueled by fans who are hoping to see the massively popular Bryan back on television. Those within the company know that his medical condition is nowhere near 100 percent.
June 11, 2014
Rumors are heating up this afternoon that Daniel Bryan will be stripped of the WWE championship tonight. Monday Night Raw is expected to open up with an announcement from the Authority, where it will most likely be Stephanie McMahon and Triple H revealing to the wrestling world that Bryan is not healthy enough to perform, so a new champion will be crowned in the near future.

J. Maureen Henderson, Contributor
I write about early career issues. Pithily.
The news for would-be attorneys keeps getting worse. According to analysis from the Wall Street Journal released yesterday, only 55% of class of 2011 law school grads were employed full-time as lawyers nine months after graduation. The other 45% may be unemployed, working at Starbucks or starting their own law school hate blogs. Couple this with declining starting salaries (they fell $9000 between 2009 and 2010) and the fact that 85% of law school grads are facing an average debt load of $98 500 and you can see why law school as a career path has taken a public lambasting in recent years.
There's a good reason that the WSJ's data – based on figures from the American Bar Association – may seem shocking. It marks the first look at employment figures related solely to jobs requiring a legal degree and passage of a bar exam. Previously, law schools reported employment rates that counted all of their grads with jobs, regardless of whether they were working at a white-shoe firm in New York or teaching ESL in Taiwan. These misleading stats have actually been the subject of class-action lawsuits against 15 law schools filed by recent grads who allege that the schools used deceptive post-grad employment numbers to boost their rankings and attract more students.
The WSJ also reports that Big Law jobs – the most lucrative and highly sought-after – might be all but out of reach for the average grad of a school outside the top tier. A scant 8% of 2011 grads are working at firms that employ 250 or more attorneys. In response to the shrinking Big Law prospects, schools outside major metropolitan areas have been urging grads to consider forgoing their dreams of practicing on Wall Street for a solo practice on Main Street. While serving small towns might lead to more job stability and exposure to a greater scope of legal tasks, the financial perks are dismal; starting salaries for small town or rural practitioners hover in the low-to-mid five figures. In other words, it's going to take writing a lot of wills to pay back your $100K in student debt.
The message that law school is no longer a sure bet when it comes to employment security and financial prosperity finally seems to be sinking in for potential students. In the last two years, the number of law school applicants has dropped by almost a quarter and the number of LSAT tests administered by the Law School Admissions Council has declined by 16%.
And if you still think, despite the sad statistics, that law school holds up as a solid investment when compared to less practical fields of study, you might want to take a gander at the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project's 2012 Annual Report. According to SNAAP's survey of 36 000 creative arts grads, their unemployment rate is half that of the national average and 71% of bachelor's degree holders in the arts and 86% of those with an MA are working or have worked as professional artists.

The Law Schools Whose Grads Earn The Most
The Best Law Schools For Career Prospects
5 Ways To Avoid Becoming A Career Mannequin
The sad truth of the matter is that Law School is no longer just something you do when you're looking to start a new career and want big money right out of the gate. Without savings and family to support the undertaking, the debt load will probably count out many potentially bright young prospects that would otherwise be successful even in this climate.
That's not totally a bad thing, bright students need to apply themselves to math, science, and heck even artistic careers rather than bogging themselves down in the slog for a law degree and the inevitable grind that follows. There's a need for intelligent people in other careers.
I do fear, however, that this will cause the legal career to be dominated by the old guard. The ones who have inroads with the top schools and the big money to support a three-year degree slog and the network to land their kid a job even if their grades aren't so hot. All I can say is that IF you take the LSAT and score really well (165+ at least) you may be able to pull it all off anyway. Go to a top-tier school (that you can afford) and do well (this will require sacrifice) and you may achieve your dream.
I am sorry, but if you only got into Cooley Law School, your problems started WAY before your acceptance letter. If your undergraduate work was average, and you could not score above a 165 on the LSAT, you should have pursued a different field. End of story. People need to take some personal accountability for their laughable/questionable decision-making skills and poor work ethic.
If you are talented, if you love the law, and you cannot see yourself anywhere else, then go to law school. Work your ass off, do a damn internship, and you will succeed. I bet most of the students in these class actions did nothing of the sort…
Christina, your comment seems very uninformed. I did well in undergrad, scored above 165 of the LSAT, when to a top school, spent both summers as an associate at large firms, worked my ass off, and got offers from both firms. After graduating when the economy tanked my offers were revoked and now I can't even get a screening interview for any position with a salary or health insurance. I've been unemployed or underemployed for three years and the longer this goes on the less attractive I am to the firms that were once fighting over me. I went from deciding between $160k jobs to an untouchable in the time it took me to pass the bar. Don't tell me it just takes hard work and a damn internship.
What Law school did you attend?
And what was your exact score on the LSAT?
Harold, its unfortunate that you had been victim of bad economy. Just wondering ( because I am foreign) is it possible/ allowed for Law graduates to independently offer their services?. Reason I am asking is when I was looking for starting a startup that will offer service in US, I had so many doubts related to eula, tos, legality etc. It is very expensive for small startups or individuals to engage established law firms and I did not knew where to look for some reasonable service at affordable cost. May be there is a opportunity here.
meDilbert is my twitter handle just incase ;)
Hey Christina I think it is pretty ignorant to basically say anyone who scored below a 165 shouldn't have gone to law school. Why make a blanket statement like that? There are plenty of people who score around 160- and are not necessarily great test-takers-who do great in law school. My girlfriend is one of these people. She got an even 160, did great her first year at a mid-level tier 2 law school, then transferred into a top 20 law school. Now she is on moot court and in the top 15% at that school after completing her 2L year. So don't insult an entire group of people with your ridiculous generalizations.
"Laughable." What an elitist you are.
Michael, if you must know my EXACT LSAT was a 168. My law school will remain nameless, but it was a top 20 school and it was good enough that I worked at big law my first summer and had several offers my second summer and I was not in the top 10%. When the crash came the times changed and everyone seems to think I am damaged goods.
meDilbert, yes you can offer services independently and that is what I have been doing. That being said, it is difficult to develop reliable group of clients with no training in client development and zero years of experience practicing law. Having a mentor helps, but no one who hires me gives a shit about how well I did on the LSAT or the pedigree of my law school, I am relying now on a completely different skill set than the one I borrowed $100k to develop. I appreciate your request/offer for work but I'll wager a dozen people have contacted you by now offering their services.

Less than a year before the 2008 collapse of Lehman Bros. plunged the global economy into a terrifying free fall, the Wall Street firm awarded nearly $700 million to 50 of its highest-paid employees, according to internal documents reviewed by The Times.
The documents, which were among the millions of pages submitted in Lehman's bankruptcy, show the list of top earners each were pledged $8 million to $51 million in cash, stock and other compensation. How much, if any, of the stock was cashed in before the bankruptcy wiped out its value couldn't be determined.

By Neil Fater
Staff Writer
---- — There was a time when Andover people went to Lawrence for just about everything. Now, there are residents who won't visit the Immigrant City for anything, even their medical care.
So Lawrence General Hospital and Pentucket Medical Associates are coming to them.
The two established Merrimack Valley medical organizations are teaming up to build a $15.5 million medical center at 307 Lowell St., on land across from the Andover IRS and by the junction of Interstate 93 and Route 133. Leaders of the groups believe the Andover site will help introduce people here to the improvements made to their other local medical facilities during the last several years.
"There is so much out-migration of people who are [travelling] down to Boston for really routine care. There is very, very little that anybody needs to go to Boston for, with all the capability that we have at Lawrence General, and with Pentucket Medical and the wide variety of specialists we have," said Dianne Anderson, president and CEO of Lawrence General. "There's really no reason for people to go through all that inconvenience and expense."
Lawrence General has spent millions to upgrade its hospital, even offering free valet parking. It has partnered with PMA and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to create a cardiac cath lab that it says outperforms the industry gold standard; it takes Lawrence General 64 minutes to have a balloon inflated in a patient, while the industry standard is 90 minutes.
Lawrence General has also partnered with the Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center to staff its new $600,000 Pediatric Center, which has private rooms.
But many in Andover continue to travel to the Boston hospitals.
During the first quarter of this year, about 16 percent of patients staying at Lawrence General were from Andover and North Andover, neighboring towns to the city. And that's up 2.1 percent from the previous months.
Anderson and Thomas Fazio, MD, president of Pentucket Medical, believe the new Andover Medical Center & ExpressCare will help open the door and expose more people in town to what is available locally.
"This allows them to get good medicine for relatively minor, common, nuisance problems that they have. We think that's also a great entree into our practice, and into the Lawrence General, because there may be some hesitancy with some of the patients in that area wanted to get started with the hospital or with a physicians group," said Fazio. "But if they go in and see its a well run organization that is doing the right things, that lessons those barriers."
The Andover center will have both primary care and specialists, who will work at Beth Israel or the Tufts Floating Hospital some days and at the Andover center other days. Doctors who live locally may be attracted to work at the center.
"[This site] allowed us to go into an area that we thought was deficient in the number of doctors that were actually in that area anymore. That's useful for the primary care point of view," said Fazio. "Plus there's this concept of urgent care - a good concept - that people can't many times get in to see their primary care, because their schedules are such that its difficult to do that."
The "ExpressCare" part of the center is the place to bring kids who were injured on the soccer field, or to treat things such as injuries from falls, sinus infections, fevers and back aches.
The center is expected to be completed later this year.
"Right now everyone is talking about the cost of health care," said Anderson. "We're all about keeping care local at an affordable, high quality that's right in our hometown."
LGH says its procedures can cost $10,000 less than those being done in Boston.
