By Chuck Johnson, USA TODAY
"Sugar" Shane Mosley has defeated some of the best fighters of his era, so you can imagine what a victory against him would mean to the career of unbeaten young champion Miguel Cotto.
The flip side to Saturday night's fight at Madison Square Garden in New York? Mosley's career, as illustrious as it has been, will leap again in stature if he can deal Cotto (30-0, 25 KOs) his first defeat.
In a classic battle of age vs. youth, the three-division, four-time former world champion sees his challenge for Cotto's WBA welterweight title (HBO Pay-Per-View, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, $49.95) as an opportunity to show that, at 36, he's still at the top of the sport.
"My motivation is beating the best fighters out there," Mosley (44-4, 37 KOs) says. "Cotto is a tremendous world champion. With me and him both fighting warriors, it's the fight people want to see.
"I don't have to prove anything to anybody anymore. I'm just proving it to myself. I want to let the people know that I'm still the best, so I guess I'm proving that."
Mosley has won world titles at lightweight (135), welterweight (147) and junior middleweight (154) and is the only fighter to defeat Oscar De La Hoya twice. The Pomona, Calif., native also owns two TKO victories against Fernando Vargas as well as wins against world champions Philip Holiday, Raul Marquez, Jesse James Leija and John John Molina.
Most recently, Mosley won a 12-round unanimous decision against former welterweight champion Luis Collazo that showed him to be as skillful as ever.
Cotto, 27, acknowledges that Mosley, who is coming down from 154, is the most accomplished opponent he's faced. But the fierce puncher from Caguas, Puerto Rico, hardly is in awe: "He's a good fighter. He's a four-time world champion. But it's my time now."
Since winning his first world title as a junior welterweight in 2004, Cotto has rivaled Felix Trinidad as Puerto Rico's most popular fighter. His box-office clout has been particularly strong in New York, which has a large Puerto Rican population. He helped draw a sellout Garden crowd of more than 21,000 to his last fight, an 11th-round TKO victory against Brooklyn's Zab Judah in June.
Cotto's stamina a big factor
Cotto was hurt and in danger of losing to Judah, similar to the situation he faced in a 2005 fight before getting up from the canvas and scoring a seventh-round KO of Ricardo Torres. With the crowd cheering wildly, Cotto had the stamina to pull off the victory, ultimately breaking down Judah with a vicious body attack.
"It's the best way you can put pressure on your opponent," Cotto says of his affinity for going to the body. "You can make them weaker than you. People like to see me go after guys. That's the way I fight. That's the way everyone enjoys the fight. I will always do that."
Promoters have billed Saturday's fight Fast & Furious, a reference to Mosley's penchant for speed and Cotto's pit-bull aggression.
Mosley suggests Cotto's relentlessness will backfire when confronted with a fighter such as himself who is faster and able to make adjustments.
"That's pretty much all he can do, try to get in and fight me there," Mosley says. "The only problem with that is I'm (not just) a boxer. So it's going to be an interesting fight and I believe a great fight."
Cotto is expecting as much but considers Mosley less of a threat than Judah. "I don't think at the age of 36 Shane can handle Miguel Cotto," he says. "Judah was a more dangerous fighter than Shane."
Indeed, Judah, the former undisputed welterweight champion, was hanging with Cotto punch for punch and faded only after absorbing two low blows. Cotto says hitting below the belt wasn't deliberate, but it wasn't the first time his fighting style has come into question as borderline dirty, a charge he sees no need to defend.
"This is a fight; this is professional fighting," Cotto says. "You do what you have to do to win, and so things that happen in the ring are going to happen."
Mosley's father, who has trained him since the start of his career, says they've been emphasizing power in preparation for Cotto and says the young champion is starting to realize he's in over his head.
"Cotto is worried sick about fighting Shane," Jack Mosley says. "You look in his eyes and you can tell. He knows he's not as strong as Shane; he knows he's not as fast. And Shane hits just as hard if not harder. They're thinking that Shane's age is going to be a factor, and that's not a factor at all."
Steroids reports downplayed
Last month, a report surfaced that Mosley had used Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative designer steroids "the clear" and "the cream" before his second fight against De La Hoya in 2003.
Mosley has always denied doping and has never tested positive. He testified before a federal grand jury in 2003, along with many other professional athletes, and said he thought the issue was dead.
"Whoever conjured that back up again after four years is very insecure about the fight," Jack Mosley says. "That's the only reason they brought this stuff up again, thinking it was going to be a distraction. That's not going to work."
Top Rank's Bob Arum, Cotto's promoter, denies there's been any effort to discredit Mosley.
"It was old news when it came out, and it was something that had taken place before this fight was ever thought about," Arum says. "The idea that we had anything to do with it, or Team Cotto, is absurd. I said immediately that we weren't concerned for the fight because Shane is a clean kid and wouldn't cheat. It's a non-issue."
Mosley is now a business partner with De La Hoya as a vice president of Golden Boy Promotions, co-promoter of Saturday's bout with Top Rank. When De La Hoya was preparing to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. earlier this year, Mosley agreed to be his sparring partner, almost unheard of for a world-class fighter.
"He didn't have to help me out for my fight, but it shows you what a class act Shane Mosley is and what a true champion is supposed to be," De La Hoya said.
Styles make fights, and Mosley met his match in two losses against both Vernon Forrest and Ronald "Winky" Wright, accounting for the four defeats on his record.
He knows it'll take a stellar effort to beat Cotto but says confidently, "I'm going for the knockout."
Cotto isn't fazed.
"I had 30 guys say the same thing, and none of them has been able to do it," he says. "I don't think this is going to be the exception."

Kiefer Sutherland On Jack Bauer's Future: '24: Live Another Day' AwardsLine Screening
At Awardsline's Thursday night Emmy screening of Fox miniseries 24: Live Another Day, Kiefer Sutherland aka Jack Bauer revealed that if he ever returned in another iteration of the TV series, it could possibly be in a cameo. But for now, he's happy to see the franchise continue with fresh blood.
The actor in a conversation with Deadline's Dominic Patten asserted, "I'm not coming back to do 24 because there are other things I want to do. And when they said limited-series run, I meant it. But I've always felt, from Season 1 on, that 24 is such a great idea that this can go on forever. I think if you create a new cast or other characters in the telling of this story, it will bring a freshness. And let's face it there's only so many bad days one can have before the show becomes a mad comic. And what I don't want it to be is a mad comic…it doesn't rule out to one having a cameo."
Joining Sutherland at last night's Q&A were co-star Mary Lynn Rajskub, and executive producers Howard Gordon and Manny Coto.
But, wait a minute, didn't 24: Live Another Day air last year? Right, however, the miniseries didn't make the cut in terms of airing the minimum number of episodes to qualify for the 2014 Emmys, so it's in the running this year. The series boasts a legacy value when it comes to TV's top kudo: 24 has collected 20 Emmys during the course of its eight-season run as well as an outstanding drama series trophy and lead actor win for Sutherland in 2006.
The show which follows Bauer, a member of the counter terrorist unit who uncovers and unplugs diabolical threats, premiered two months after Sept. 11 and it has always factored and played off of big global conflicts.
Talking about the inspirations for 24: Live Another Day after being away from the show for four years, Coto said, "We took many months figuring out the first episode. There was a book that someone brought in (to the writers' room) which shed light on the fact that there's a real fear over drones being hijacked." Also contributing to a quintessential jumping off point per Coto was "that we ended Season 8 with Jack Bauer as a fugitive. It was perfect. He could be anywhere. We could go to London. We liked the idea of opening the series with an Osama bin Laden-style raid, but instead of Osama, it's Jack Bauer."
Given the gap between the miniseries and the final episode of Season 8, Sutherland felt the pressure to also raise the stakes. "If this isn't good or better, we're in trouble," he recalled. The key to Bauer's progression during the series run was that each day contributed to his evolution. "The first day was always the baggage he carried to the second day," said Sutherland about Bauer's gravitas.
The episode which screened last night "10:00PM – 11:00AM" centered around Bauer's takedown of Chinese terrorist Cheng Zhi. But he's in a compromising position. As he moves in on Zhi, his former significant other Audrey, also the U.S. president's daughter, becomes a target. It's a riveting episode, full of intense, hair-raising action, however, it's the dramatic tension, more than the bombs, where the thrills have always resided for 24.
Sutherland specifically refers to a scene in Season 1 where Bauer is holed up in a wood shed, holding an innocent woman hostage, so she won't reveal where he's hiding. Explained Sutherland, "In the scene, Jack starts falling asleep and tries to stay awake. That becomes the drama. Obviously, it became more fun to blow stuff up but there was real drama in that moment. It's a touchstone scene that Howard Gordon and I always use as a reference."
I don't see this working without Kiefer Sutherland. His unflagging committment and movie-star charisma took our eye off a lot of the writers' weaknesses. I doubt I would have put up with the repetitious ideas and uninspired filler story lines if it wasn't for Jack Bauer.
Listen to me Jasmine kiefer sutherland would return next year they cannot without him because they shocked absolutely not go tell anyone and mr Cessar to stay and finish the job I promise 20 episode that is rules the time is running out right Jasmine
Huh! What did you just say?
Give kiefer sutherland another chance on 24 live day please right everybody
It's a shame that Kiefer doesn't want to do it but absolutely understand his reasons. I'd still watch it! I don't get that adrenaline rush from any other show. Hopefully, they'll bring back Chloe though. And Belcheck would be great as well, he was awesome in LAD.
Fine. Then guess what Kiefer?……..your cameo better amount to a full episode involving Jack getting out of the stupid Russian prison!! That ending for the character of Jack Bauer is utterly unacceptable
This is outrageous everybody I'm angry he cannot return because I shocked Vera bring it kiefer sutherland now or I going to mad and 😠 angry. Did you agree Did you please right everybody right if you don't I going to tell lawyer right now give kiefer sutherland chance and return 24 live another day now do it or else right everybody the clock is ticking please you promise if you don't I going to scream and yell
This is not end and this is not over everybody it's just beginning for kiefer sutherland Jack Bauer is not utterly unacceptable he is great man ENS did you understand right everybody how dare you you been shame on shelf right everybody did you agree right
i LOVE 24 & MR.SUTHERLAND . KIEFER IS 24.
I agree Kiefer Sutherland is 24. Without the lead character I would not watch the show. I also strongly object to the hero of the series being left in the custody of the Russians. Real life has too many sad endings, that is the last thing I want to see in a television series.
I think y'all should know by now that every movie becomes a good movie due to how involved the leading character portrays. We love 24 not just because of the story, but also because of the leading character. No matter how good every actor is bringing in new character to replace the existing one changes the quality of it original concept. It is sad whether or not Kiefer can continue i think the movie should end with him so y'all can set up with a whole new story.
Tell you what, using different characters in playing James Bond make me sick to my eyes. No wonder, transporter the series isn't making enough hits like the original "Transporter" which Jason Statham played the leading roll no offense… I hope y'all can fine a way to end 24 with Jack Bauer in it simple.
It's is not sad for Jack Bauer on 24 Smith absolutely not right everybody right it's is good and happy for kiefer sutherland this isn't over yet no way it's just beginning on 24 right everybody it's is rules Smith maybe not I promise
Tell you what Smith this is not end for Jack Bauer no way it's just beginning right everybody right you promise and I promise
You hear me Harlow just listen I promise if you don't I going to scream and yell also I going to mad and angry right everybody right

I have large positions in BAC and JPM. On a dividend adjusted basis, JPM is up 37.4% and BAC is up 26.1%. Of course, that performance puts JPM heads and shoulders above BAC.BAC, since 11/03 when I made my first major purchase after getting hammered by the FFB takeover, on a split adjusted basis, has increased the dividend from 40c quarterly to 56c quarterly, while the JPM dividend hangs at 34c.Many of the JPM shares I hold are old CMB shares from the 90's and have low basis values.It would be nice to see the dividend start to rise again. The divies are sure nice frosting to the investment.Any thoughts?
I for one am getting tried of the wait on raising the dividend; what is the reason for not increasing????
EPS needs to reach 1999 levels first, before JPM should raise the Dividens. In share price terms, $55.0 would have to be topped, before JPM should conisder Dividend increase.... give it six more months!!
I too have significant positions in JPM and BAC, at lower prices than todays market. I also like the dividend (and the tax treatment)but, today I started to sell some of my JPM (BAC's x date is this week)and I did so for the following reasons:1-I would not buy JPM at todays price given the dividend less than 3%.2-JPM very big player in the retail mortgage business and I am concerned that we are going to see an unhappy ending here as home prices start to fall.3-The Bank today is being run largly by the Bank One gang. Not really the brain trust to compete with the guys at C and BAC or WB for that mattar. I think they have done a real good job at cost containment but never get the impression that these is a grand plan that somebody is checking off!!I still like JPM but think that its overbought and there is a chance to take some off table for now and get back in cheaper..MHO
Could not agree more...Take profits and get back in below 40...
I agree with your sell recommendation 100%. Sell now at $46 and buy back after Q3 earnings come out. Most likely it will be back in the $41 - $42 range. However I do disagree with your thoughts on strategy. I believe Jamie has a game plan for JPM and we are a year or so away from seeing that put into action. Once he gets cranking the stock should hit $50.
Hello, mjp326,I, too, hold positions in BAC and JPM. My holdings in JPM are much larger than what I have in BAC, however. My cash basis for JPM is 6 cents. I think JPM is long overdue for a nice raise in dividend--or a split,although I realize the price is probably not high enough for that possibility yet.I continue to question when Dimon will reward the stock holders. He continues to take bonuses and live the very good life, and I think the shareholders deserve a bit of a "bonus," too!Do you have any thoughts on when dividend increases might occur?
likes2invest,I have confidence in the bank and Dimon. I really have no idea about when a divvie increase will occur. It has been at the current level for a while, as you know as a long term holder. I think I remember you from the FHN board. I think FHN right now is pretty cheap, getting hit hard by this quarter's earnings. As of today's close it yields 4.68%. There is an article that lists its fair value at $52.Looking at that one tomorrow.

Final question, is there anywhere other than Cascade, Apex, Belmont, and Beer Mongers that I really really shouldn't miss?

Scholars, journalists, and politicians uphold Muslim-ruled medieval Spain - "al-Andalus" - as a multicultural paradise, a place where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived in harmony. There is only one problem with this widely accepted account: It is a myth. In this groundbreaking book, Northwestern University scholar Darío Fernández-Morera tells the full story of Islamic Spain. As professors, politicians, and pundits continue to celebrate Islamic Spain for its "multiculturalism" and "diversity", Fernández-Morera sets the record straight.
"Great book!"
The Secrets of the Eternal Book decodes some of the Bible's most enigmatic yet oft-cited epochs. The author's lively and easygoing style makes for a smooth entrance into the depths of perception, where one changes one's world simply by contemplation and desire.
"Compelling Tunnel Into The Mystery!"
The Sepher Yetzirah or Book of Formation is perhaps the oldest rabbinical treatise of Kabbalistic philosophy which is still extant. This thoroughly re-edited and revised version helps bring this text to life.
"It's finally starting to come together."
Each of the great three Abrahamic religious traditions holds the seeds for deep mystical contemplation. But what do most of us know about these mystics and the tradition they sustained? Explore this spiritual, literary, and intellectual heritage in these great faiths of the West as it unfolds over three millennia with these 36 enlightening, thought-provoking lectures that offer nearly
"Good for the topic"
Over the last four centuries, a small group of thinkers attempted to answer a series of remarkably challenging questions: In a world having a history of untold suffering-especially, it seemed, for Jews-was the existence of an all-powerful and comforting God still tenable? What were the purpose and meaning of Jewish practices and customs? Could Jews still justify the notion of a chosen people in a social climate in which Jewish integration and full participation with the rest of humanity had become the norm?
"A Gem! Best treatment of material I've ever read."
Carefully examining the concept of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, he characterizes a "prophetic state of consciousness" and explains how it may share biological and metaphysical mechanisms with the DMT effect. Examining medieval commentaries on the Hebrew Bible, Strassman reveals how Jewish metaphysics provides a top-down model for both the prophetic and DMT states, a model he calls "theoneurology."
"The Old Testament . . . and DMT tie-ins . . . meh"
O Jerusalem! is the epic drama of 1948, when Arabs and Jews fought for control of the city of Jerusalem. This story traverses centuries and continents, covering the time between WWII and the creation of the independent state of Israel. Based on five years of intensive research and thousands of interviews, this is a story of courage, terrorism, heroism, and ultimately, war.
"O Jerusalem - a review and reminiscences"
For thousands of years, Jews have looked to the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Old Testament by Christians, for their origins, and have located in them the tenets of their faith. However, much of what is recognized today as Judaism does not appear in the Bible. How did Judaism develop from its biblical roots to the highly developed system we know today? What has changed - and what has remained constant? In this series of 24 spirited and provocative lectures, Professor Gafni investigates how the Jewish faith struggled to continually redefine itself during the first thousand years after the completion of the last books of the Hebrew Bible.
"Four Stars Is a Reccomendation From Me"
As a religion, culture, and civilization, Judaism has evolved in surprising ways during its long and remarkable history. In this series of 24 lectures, Professor Cherry explores this rich religious heritage from biblical times to today. From the first lecture on the Torah to the last on the Jews as the Chosen People, this course is packed with truly fascinating information.
"This lecture series is amazing"
The JPS TANAKH: The Jewish Bible, audio version, is a recorded version of the JPS TANAKH, the most widely read English translation of the Hebrew, or Jewish, Bible. Produced and recorded for The Jewish Publication Society (JPS) by The Jewish Braille Institute (JBI), this complete, unabridged audio version of the Torah features over 14 hours of readings by seven narrators. The Torah is the essence of Jewish tradition; it inspires each successive generation.
"the first and true bible"
All parents hope their child will be self-reliant, optimistic, and well mannered, but this has become particularly challenging in our current culture. Clinical psychologist and Jewish educator Wendy Mogel distills the ancient teachings of the Torah, the Talmud, important Jewish thinkers, and contemporary psychological insights into nine blessings that address key parenting issues.
"The Narrator ruins this book"
Kabbalah, it is said, was brought down from heaven by angels. The great mystics of Judaism originally passed its teachings by word of mouth only, believing that the secrets of the kabbalah transcended the written word.
"Understandable and Intuitive"
Experience a practical, uplifting, and fascinating introduction to a time-honored system of spiritual growth and self-discovery. The Kabbalah, Judaism's timeless mystical tradition, was said to be brought down from heaven by angels. Its teachings were originally passed down by word of mouth because mystics believed its secrets transcended the written word. Rabbi David Cooper's Kabbalah Meditation continues this great oral tradition.
"An extracted book"
Israel Meir Lau, one of the youngest survivors of Buchenwald, was just eight years old when the camp was liberated in 1945. Descended from a 1,000-year unbroken chain of rabbis, he grew up to become Chief Rabbi of Israel--and like many of the great rabbis, Lau is a master storyteller. Out of the Depths is his harrowing, miraculous, and inspiring account of life in one of the Nazis' deadliest concentration camps, and how he managed to survive against all possible odds.
"Amazing Book, Amazing Man"
In Uncovered, Leah Lax tells her story - beginning as a young teen who left her liberal, secular home for life as a Hasidic Jew and ending as a 40-something woman who has to abandon the only world she's known for 30 years in order to achieve personal freedom.
It all began with a promise: a promise I made to my father, a promise that led me on a journey into the heart and soul of Judaism. The result is this book, filled with intensely personal stories that helped me unlock some of the complicated teachings that make Judaism such a difficult religion to understand. The listener will learn, in a very unique way, the basics of the Jewish religion: Torah, Hebrew Bible, the holidays and the traditions.
Historians, scholars, and theologians agree that first-century Christianity was a sect of Judaism, but where does that information place first-century Gentile Christians? What did it mean to be a Gentile who practiced Judaism in the days of the apostles? These are not just academic questions; they are at the heart of today's growing Messianic Jewish movement. How do non-Jews engage in the modern Messianic Jewish revival?
In 1783, an important disputation took place in Minsk between leading Mitnagdic geonim and R. Schneur Zalman of Liadi. The debate centered around R. Schneur Zalman's philosophy, which was based on the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov - teachings that the Mitnagdim vehemently opposed. Penned by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, The Debate in Minsk presents the background and story of this landmark event.
The non-conventional approach to dealing with vitiligo - just what Judaism has to teach and say about this incurable skin condition. This audiobook introduces vitiligo as the biblical skin condition called tzaraath, and talks about the divine message hidden behind vitiligo and the personal strengths this condition is set to call out. Along with the preventives, cures, and treatments laid out in rabbinic literature, the information here is sure to inspire the listener with positive reflections of vitiligo's true value.
When Leon Wieseltier's father died, he began to observe the traditional year-long period of mourning, going to the synagogue three times a day to recite the prayer known as the mourner's Kaddish. Struck by the profound, yet unexpected power of this practice and the poverty of his knowledge about it, he began to study the history and meaning of this ancient ritual. Kaddish provides a record of his journey of discovery, as he wrestles with questions of faith and reason while reflecting on the life of his father and of his people.
The destiny of Israel and the Christian church is bound together, evident in the scriptures. Learning this truth is essential for survival. Jewish Roots: Understanding Your Jewish Faith is an introduction to biblical theology from a Jewish contextual point of view, plus practical evaluation and council for the Messianic Jewish communities and the Christian church. This new edition considers recent biblical scholarship and evaluates the progress of the Messianic Jewish community - a pulsating grass roots movement.
Your plain-English guide to Judaism. Whether you're interested in the religion or the spirituality, the culture or the ethnic traditions, Judaism for Dummies explores the full spectrum of Judaism, dipping into the mystical, meditative, and spiritual depth of the faith and the practice. In this warm and welcoming audiobook, you'll find coverage of: Orthodox Jews and breakaway denominations; Judaism as a daily practice; the food and fabric of Judaism; Jewish wedding ceremonies.
"A good overview"
Mussar is an illuminating, approachable, and highly practical set of teachings for cultivating personal growth and spiritual realization in the midst of day-to-day life. Here is an accessible and inspiring introduction to this Jewish spiritual path, which until lately has been best known in the world of Orthodox Judaism. The core teaching of Mussar is that our deepest essence is inherently pure and holy, but this inner radiance is obscured by extremes of emotion, desire, and bad habits.
"just what I was looking for"
This incisive history upends the complacency that confines anti-Judaism to the ideological extremes in the Western tradition. With deep learning and elegance, David Nirenberg shows how foundational anti-Judaism is to the history of the West. Questions of how we are Jewish and, more critically, how and why we are not have been churning within the Western imagination throughout its history. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans; Christians and Muslims of every period; even the secularists of modernity have used Judaism in constructing their visions of the world.
"You shall be holy," teaches the Bible. The masters of the Jewish Mussar tradition have crafted a roadmap to help people approach that lofty goal. Mussar is a system of introspective practices that can help you identify and break through the obstacles to your inherent holiness, using methods that are easy to integrate into daily life. Every Day, Holy Day is an essential companion for anyone who wants to experience the life-changing gifts of Mussar.
"Mussar (Jewish ethics)"
This is a highly comprehensive introduction to the Talmud, the age-old storehouse of Jewish wisdom. Bokser covers the long history of the Talmud, from its origin in the Babylonian exile, its growth through the five centuries after the Roman destruction of the Temple, and the later persecution of the Talmud. The book covers a number of high-level topics, including social ethics and personal morality, with numerous examples from the Talmud. Ben Zion Bokser was one of the major Conservative rabbis of America.
"bad narration can ruin a book"
The Devil of Williamsburg is a fast-paced true crime story about one of the most shocking and important child sex abuse cases in recent memory, which unfolded mere blocks from the hipster capital of the world, but eras away, in ultra-Orthodox Jewish Williamsburg, Brooklyn. There, an insular community of Satmar Hasidim shirk the Internet, the president and the rules of secular America, even hiding crimes within the community from police and the courts.
It is sometimes said that the Bible is one of the most unread books in the world, yet has been a major force in the development of Western culture and continues to exert an enormous influence over many people's lives. This Very Short Introduction looks at the importance accorded to the Bible by different communities and cultures and attempts to explain why it has generated such a rich variety of uses and interpretations.
"An introduction to how the bible is used and read"
In Kabbalah: A Very Short Introduction, Joseph Dan, one of the world's leading authorities on Jewish mysticism, offers a concise and highly accurate look at the history and character of the various systems developed by the adherents of the Kabbalah. Dan sheds light on the many misconceptions about what Kabbalah is and isn't - including its connections to magic, astronomy, alchemy, and numerology - and he illuminates the relationship between Kabbalah and Christianity on the one hand and New Age religion on the other.
"Interesting information poorly executed"
Norman Solomon's succinct audiobook is an ideal introduction to Judaism as a religion and way of life. In addition to surveying the nature and development of Judaism, this Very Short Introduction outlines the basics of practical Judaism - its festivals, prayers, customs, and various sects. Modern concerns and debates of the Jewish people are also addressed, such as the impact of the Holocaust, the establishment of the State of Israel, the status of women, and medical and commercial ethics.
The history of Jewish persecution is as old as the written word, though the epithet anti-Semitism was conceived only in the late 19th century, as it reached the beginning of its most horrifying chapter. Throughout Christian history the hatred and prejudice toward the Jewish people have often been blamed on the betrayal and crucifixion of Christ, but ethnic Jewish oppression began long before. It is beyond dispute that antisemitism in our societies is on the increase.
The Fourth Commandment, a contemporary look at a cornerstone of Jewish life, explores the Sabbath's origins and purpose, its basis in Jewish texts and traditions, and its meaning for the hurried lives we live today. Even people who have long observed the Sabbath will discover facets they know little about. Beautiful and evocative, the book takes listeners on a journey into understanding this sacred day in its many manifestations. Acclaimed writer and lecturer Francine Klagsbrun draws on her extensive knowledge of Judaism and personal experience in applying the profound lessons of the Sabbath to life today.
This book seeks to provide a guided examination of what unites and divides the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic communities. With over 25 years of experience teaching in the subject area, Dr. Fritz Wenisch begins to unravel this complex and often contentious topic by first discussing the legal injunctions applying to religious studies courses at secular U.S. universities. He investigates the type of monotheism each religion shares before providing an in-depth overview of each religion, one by one.
While many readers may have heard of Kabbalah in recent years, how many understand the origins and unique perspective of this collection of Jewish mystical beliefs? Handed down in the oral tradition for thousands of years and transcribed in fourteenth-century Spain, the Kabbalah is the classical expression of Jewish mysticism. This collection draws from the main work of Kabbalah and offers insight into the great body of Hebrew literature that sprang up and grew parallel to the traditional writings of rabbinical literature.
Everyone has heard of of the Dead Sea Scrolls, but amidst the conspiracies, the politics, and the sensational claims, it can be difficult to separate the myths from the reality. Here, Timothy Lim presents the true facts and leading theories behind the cultural and historical background of the scrolls, and examines their significance for our understanding of the Old Testament and the origins of Christianity and Judaism.
"Too much detail"
Six Minor Prophets Through the Centuries is the work of highly respected biblical scholars Richard Coggins and Jin H.Han. The volume explores the rich and complex reception history of the last six Minor Prophets in Jewish and Christian exegesis, theology, worship, and arts.
"Couldn't finish the book, too many citations."

Vermont teen dies in culvert crashThe Associated Press | July 29,2013JERICHO - Vermont State Police say a motorist was killed when his van veered off a road, crashed into a metal culvert and slid on its side into a utility pole in the town of Jericho.
Police say emergency crews had to use extrication equipment to free 17-year-old Elijah Davis of Jericho, who was pronounced dead at the scene early Sunday.
Police say the van was traveling west on Route 15 in Jericho shortly after midnight when the vehicle left the road while approaching an intersection with Raceway Road. Police say it hit the metal drainage culvert head-on. The impact knocked the van onto its side before it slid roof-first into the utility pole.

"My grandmother taught me there was always enough time to be kind." -- Russell Pry
Akron -- Nearly 1,500 people gathered at the John S. Knight Center Aug. 13 to celebrate the life of Summit County Executive Russell "Russ" Pry, who died July 31 at the age of 58.
From Congressman Tim Ryan, whose 13th District includes parts of Summit County, they heard how Mr. Pry loved to brag about what was going on Summit County.
Congresswoman Marsha Fudge said with Mr. Pry's knowledge of history, he was the best Washington, D.C. tour guide there was.
But it was the personal stories from political leaders and friends that explained why so many people would spend a summer morning reminiscing about a man who is best known by the public as the leader of county government for the past nine years.
Former Akron mayor Don Plusquellic began his remarks by wishing he could be somewhere else, or that he could pick up the phone and call his "longtime best friend." At times fighting back tears, he vowed to set aside his grief, if just for awhile.
"I want to do today what Russ would want," he said.
He talked about Mr. Pry's many smiles, a common theme for the morning. There was the formal smile, like the one on the poster above the podium. Plusquellic described Pry's joyful smile when talking about those he loved, and a smile that was more of an "unforgettable smirk" that Plusquellic knew well and hoped to bring to Mr. Pry's face, as he imagined his friend watching the gathering from heaven.
Apologizing to clergy in the audience, Plusquellic said he still asks why God took Mr. Pry.
"Maybe God needed someone to sit on a certain stool in a certain establishment," Plusquellic said. "Maybe God needed someone to do shots of Goldschlager with. Maybe God needed someone in charge who would care more and do more about young people, preschoolers, veterans and former addicts. Maybe God needed an Irishman who could keep the others under control, or someone who could bring people together and find solutions to complicated issues. Maybe God just needed a good, honest lawyer. Maybe He needed a good Democrat who could balance out all of the others.
"Maybe He knew Russ had such a gift he needed to share it with more people."
Plusquellic ended with a message for his friend and a prayer.
"Russ, for your leadership and especially for your friendship, I thank you," he said. "You are greatly missed. Thank you, God, for sharing this exceptional man with us."
Mr. Pry's friend of more than 30 years, Summit County Domestic Relations Judge Carol Dezso, said Mr. Pry lived his mantra of "Just do good" in his career and personal life.
"He would want us to stop mourning today to get on with life," Dezso said. "He would want us to take on his legacy."
She commented on what an amazing county executive and a shining example of a public servant that Mr. Pry was.
"I could tell you how much he cared about kids growing up in poverty and the struggle of the mentally ill," she said. "He was the perfect man at the perfect time to be our nine-year county executive."
More than that, Mr. Pry excelled at friendships and relationships, Dezso said.
She acknowledged longtime friends of Mr. Pry, including some he first met in grade school, and others he met as he walked his adult path.
"Rusty gave loyalty and received it from his friends," Dezso said. "There were things he did small and large that showed you matter to him. He'd remember your birthday, even when your spouse didn't. In a personal crisis, he was there. It didn't matter how busy he was. He gave wise counsel. He dedicated his life to mentoring other people."
Mike Cassetty, Mr. Pry's friend and former law partner, built on Dezso's comments, and gave a glimpse into Mr. Pry's unpretentious nature, born from a small-town upbringing in Mogadore.
He talked about dining with his friend in the congressional dining room, in the U.S. Capitol in D.C., and how Mr. Pry couldn't believe the two of them -- he from Mogadore and Cassetty from Hartville -- were dining among members of Congress.
Cassetty recalled being in the courtroom, representing a client against high-dollar lawyers from Cleveland who would see Mr. Pry walk in, wearing ring dusters, cowboy boots, "and that famous corduroy blazer," and think they already won.
"They were not prepared for what a brilliant attorney he was, and how he represented each client as if they were the only client he had," Cassetty said.
He recalled a time when he was going to drive Mr. Pry in a parade.
Mr. Pry suggested Cassetty bring his 5-year-old son, Thomas.
"I told Thomas to call Russ 'Mr. Pry,' because he was an important person," Cassetty said.
When young Thomas met the county executive, he said, "Thank you for inviting me, Mr. Pry."
"Russ said, 'Just call me Russ,'" Cassetty recalled. "Thomas said he couldn't, because his dad told him Mr. Pry was very important. Russ said, 'Then I need to refer to you as Mr. Cassetty, because you are just as important.'
"Russ Pry was the smartest, most loyal, grounded, regular person and finest man I've ever known," Cassetty said. "I pass on to my sons the lessons he taught me."
Silver Lake Mayor Bernie Hovey told Village Council on Aug. 15 that he attended the service for Mr. Pry.
"It was just remarkable," said Hovey to Council. "Whether you're Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green Party, Tea Party, I don't care. That man worked very hard for the citizens of Summit County and he will be very missed."

The AOT™ Enhanced Oil Transport System is designed to be installed to the pipeline every 50-100 miles, and require multiple units operating side-by-side to accommodate any commercial flow rate or pressure. For example, one single 2,000 mile 36" pipeline operating at 1,300 psi would require six 5,000 gallon per minute 1,500psi AOT™ units to be installed every 50 miles along the pipeline, (equaling 240 installed units in a single order).
No other pipeline product can produce these results at the cost factor involved. American ingenuity you say?? You would be correct!
Hmm, not bad, and AOT has been independently verified and tested by the United States Department of Energy, Temple University, The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, and China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau. Each of the studies and tests have independently confirmed the efficacy of AOT™ for the reduction of crude oil viscosity.
In my opinion this up-down price action, big accumulation by insiders, hiring of experienced patent attorneys/researchers it seems to me that this company will be moving up much sooner rather than later. My guess for the patent attorney firm like this was January 2014...
Working with patent attorneys can take minimum 60 days for due diligence research and verification along with additional patent re-filings or amendments. By that time attorneys, new people etc will be looking for the big bucks and Zero should have everything ready.
Long Strong and Having Fun With ZERO.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
LOL! What does the first paragraph have to do with anything? Krisco.. a simple question, how much would this all cost to install in a 2000 mile pipeline? Including the downtime rev loss? Because if you are pumping this will make money, then you should at least know that right?
- Why in the companies own quarterly report do they say the device is unproven and may not be commercially viable?
- You say no other product can produce these results at that cost factor. Please post this cost factor for once that even the company cannot. If not, you are simply a liar.
- More lies. Temple is independent? They licence this off them. LIE. The fact the company even states this should cause investors concern.
- DOE? They PAID to rent the facility and had the engineers simply sign off on the results of the test that ZERO THEMSELVES performed.
- Standards and tech? the ASME certification? If not show us this test.
- CPP. Sure they did. Just like CHMR had signed deals with Pemex.
- Yup.. "big accumulation by insiders"? Why do you need to resort to lying to try and pump this? People can simply read the last quarterly report and look at how many options were simply never excercised at all. Why? Well because you can get warrants that you don't need to repor tthe sale of in a round about way right Krisco? Tell me the page in the QR that shows this big buying. If not, LIE.
Patent attorney due dilligence.. give me a break. What lawyer does ANYONE here who would not start work immediately with a payment?
You can go back and look at the filings on this company on the OTCBB. There is one quarterly report that they actually list the patents they hold, with pretty well all of them on the 9 bogus useless failures of devices that cost investors 80 million over the last 15 years. But this company counts those as their "41" patents and pending. Count the ones granted to get an idea of what they have now.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Cons, you mislead continuously As you well know several patents are pending for this technology. And as you well know the patent office will not disclose any details about any patent pending operations.
You also mislead by posting sentiment of strong sell when you specifically told me that you own zero shares.
Long Strong and Having Fun With Zero!
Ask yourself why they don't just say how many they have on the AOT when talking about the AOT? The fluff pump is just so obvious. Then look at this last quarterly report. See that they only licence TWO patents off Temple. LOOK AT WHAT THOSE PATENTS ARE FOR and ask yourself why they would bother????? It's all about the name association isn't it? And to see that in action just read Krisco's posts to see how hard he tries to make use of it.
I agree krisco, STWA has proven credibility, proven equipment, and a team that will take them far! It's not every day that you find a gem like this!

Stepping Gracefully Back to His Hometown
Controversy, scandal, criminal arrests, mean girls.
Lately, the arts have had it all.
In Moscow last week, a disgruntled dancer confessed to initiating an attack on the Bolshoi Ballet's artistic director. On Broadway, Shia LaBeouf bolted the cast of "Orphans," citing "creative differences," and posting private correspondence with his former colleagues on Twitter (including one long email to the creative team that he lifted almost entirely from a 2009 Esquire article). And no one seems to be able to make a joke at an awards show without offending half the population, especially if that population includes Taylor Swift.
In the midst of all this, there's been one high-profile breakup that has settled down, allowing all parties to move forward. (And no, I'm not talking about Van Halen.)
Edward Villella, who was suddenly ousted from Miami City Ballet in 2011 (he didn't actually leave until 2012) after running it for more than 25 years, has returned to his native New York to continue his work in dance and, as he put it, to enjoy "living a cultured life." Tonight, the native of Bayside, Queens, will host his first major public speaking engagement since the breakup, at the Paley Center for Media on 52nd Street.
The program is part of Words on Dance, a San Francisco-based series that examines the nitty gritty of dancing by having one dancer interview another. Mr. Villella plans to focus on his early, prolific days with New York City Ballet, where he was a trailblazer for male dancers and a student of George Balanchine. But he'll also address his tenure at the helm of the Miami City Ballet, where from 1985 until last year he built what is now a renowned regional company that dances 19th-century classics, as well as neo-classical and contemporary work. (His body of work earned him a Kennedy Center honor in 1997, along with Bob Dylan, Lauren Bacall and others.)
He's planning to take questions. And of course, the central question is: What happened in Miami?
The official line goes like this: In September 2011, Mr. Villella announced that he would depart MCB after the 2012-2013 season. He then accelerated those plans in September 2012 and turned over the company to the new artistic director, Lourdes Lopez. The clash between Mr. Villella, who is 76, and the MCB board reportedly centered around the future and the finances of the company. According to the Miami Herald, Mr. Villella was given a choice: agree to leave or the company would be forced to declare bankruptcy. (Miami City Ballet declined to comment for this column.)
Mr. Villella addresses the subject cautiously, but he's open about the fact that from his first year in Miami, he knew it would be a challenge to convince the board that a dance company should be about the dancers.
"It was suggested to me that the company should be no longer be primarily artistically driven, but should be driven by business," he told me. "Certainly, we are part of a business, but we are not in the business of business. We are in the business of art. Therein lies the inkling of some controversial approaches."
Looking back on his efforts within the larger arts world, he said: "I am a member of the board of the School of American Ballet. I spent close to 20 years in and out of panels of the National Endowment for the Arts. I was on the President's Council on the Arts for six years. I have a depth of board experiences, and they are not the same as the experiences I had in Florida."
Though this evening's talk is a coda to an unfortunate story, the timing was not designed to as an Oprah-esque clearing of the air. Deborah DuBowy, who founded Words on Dance in 1994, had been talking to Mr. Villella about making an appearance for more than a year. "This was all starting to brew, and we thought, 'Why don't we do it next year?'" she said.
(Mr. Villella will be interviewed at the Paley Center by his daughter, Crista Villella, 31, who grew up with the Miami City Ballet and has become a dance professional in her own right, now staging ballets for Twyla Tharp.)
Looking ahead, Mr. Villella said he is not planning any major projects, but his list of possible employments is long: "To teach, to speak, do residencies, consult, coach dancers, coach companies."
Now that he's a free agent, that's possible. According to Ellen Sorrin, the director of the Balanchine Trust, requests have come in for his help with ballets with which he is associated, such as "Rubies" (from "Jewels"), in which he starred in the original 1967 City Ballet production. He recently visited Cincinnati Ballet, where he coached dancers for upcoming performances of Balanchine's "Prodigal Son." "I'd like to stay close to those ballets," he said.
Mr. Villella has also moved a little closer to home. While at City Ballet, he lived for 25 years in a brownstone he bought near Lincoln Center, just before it opened. He's now moved up to Hamilton Heights. As for his feeling about leaving the sun and palm trees of south Florida for the chilly streets of New York, Mr. Villella said: "I was born here. Once you're a New Yorker, and especially if you spent your professional time here, you have a very, very different sense of the rest of the world."
He also looks back at the arts scene in Miami with a slightly jaundiced eye. But rather than go into it, recommended reading Tom Wolfe's novel "Back to Blood," which is set in Miami: "It's satirical, but it's so bang on."

text: Started out great, covering my BBY short for nice gain, but then it was up & down all day, with half a dozen coin flips which I managed to get all wrong. I lost my nerve to short PANL the way it was flying, but I noticed later it dropped $2 off it's high at one point. It was a coin flip for 1000 shares between that and another one, and I picked wrong. Ended up shorting CRUS, and made a little bit, but missed out on the good money. Same thing between ARUN & MPEL for a buy. Coin flip, and picked wrong. Even shorted MBI this morning, and it went down for awhile (couldn't get short shares for awhile), but then it rocketed up, most likely because there are no shares to short. That will fall tomorrow, I'm sure. Day late, dollar short. Frustrating day, and I've been on a tear lately, but not today.

Picasso - Kids Paint Magic!
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Picasso - Kids Paint Magic! is a simple drawing app that lets kids create psychedelic-looking images using three varieties of neon-colored "magic paint." The app is free to download, but text ads run continuously along the top of the screen. Kids can save images to the device, and share them through a variety of social media including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Picasa, and Flickr.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's it about?
In Picasso - Kids Paint Magic! kids can drag or tap the screen to create glittering drawings that resemble neon signs. Fun lightsaber-like sound effects accompany each swipe. Kids can import photos from the device's gallery and edit them, and finished creations can be saved and shared through a variety of social media and photo-sharing sites including Facebook, Twitter, Picasa, and Flickr.
Is it any good?
PICASSO - KIDS PAINT MAGIC! is a one-trick pony that relies on the gimmick of glittery rainbow-colored "magic paint" to draw kids in. Otherwise it's a very simple app. Kids can create lines and dots, but the app lacks advanced features such as the ability to adjust the width of the lines, or even choose specific colors (colors are rendered in a rainbow pattern that is apparently random). There's no tutorial, so kids will have to discover how the app works by trial and error. This isn't a huge flaw given the app's simplicity, but certain things -- like the fact that if you change the background color it erases whatever's on the screen at the time -- would be nice to know ahead of time.

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 119 reviews
Our family of four stayed at this great little villa. It is part of a small hotel so there is a private pool just for us and then a bigger pool for the other guests. The staff came in every morning to make us breakfast. It had a huge indoor/outdoor bathroom with bath and separate shower. Up stairs was another bed and big bathroom
Four nights in close proximity to Seminyak Square for restaurants and shops and walking distance to beach. Enjoyed good sized pool and large room. Very pleasant stay with very courteous and helpful staff.
nice very quiet food was not good
our family enjoyed a good time. Breakfast that two cooker came to my room and cook is very delicious.
Great large spacious 3 bedroom villa with pool, great central location, comfortable but a but noisy from road.
