Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly monitoring Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder with a view to a January bid
11:45am Monday 3rd December 2012 in Latest Football News By Tom Allnutt
Spurs are considering a surprise January move for Dutch playmaker Wesley Sneijder, according to TalkSport.
The Inter Milan midfielder is due for contract discussions early this week with the Serie A giants reportedly about to demand Sneijder takes a pay cut.
That could prompt the 28-year-old to look for a move as early as January with PSG, Manchester United - and Tottenham - monitoring the situation.
The North London club pulled off a similar coup when they signed Rafael van der Vaart from Real Madrid in August 2010 for just £8m.

Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Convicted sex offenders who fail to register with law enforcement would face a minimum of five years in prison under a bill approved by a House committee on Tuesday over the objections of opponents who say it will only make state prison overcrowding worse.
The House Judiciary Committee voted 10-3 for the bill, which already passed the Senate and now heads to the full House for consideration.
"Most people who have to register should realize that's pretty serious," said Rep. Leslie Osborn, R-Mustang, the House sponsor of the bill. "It's not like forgetting to pick up milk on your way home."
Judges currently can sentence offenders to a maximum of five years in prison for failing to register, but Osborn said most receive 90 days and are released with electronic monitoring.
The bill initially would have required a minimum of 10 to 15 years in prison for failing to register, but was amended to include a minimum of five years.
Still, opponents argued the bill takes away the discretion of a judge to be more lenient with low-level sex offenders who have essentially committed a technical infraction.
"What we're doing is wholly unnecessary," said Rep. Cory Williams, D-Stillwater. "We're basically re-prosecuting them for the heinous crime that they were convicted of committing before. Let's not forget they were already punished for that crime."
An analysis of the bill by House researchers indicates 257 people were convicted of failure to register as a sex offender last fiscal year. Of those, 219 were sentenced to an average of 3.6 years in prison. Based on the 10-year minimum, the projected fiscal impact to the state's prison system was about $3.6 million annually. According to the Department of Corrections, there currently are more than 1,100 delinquent sex offenders who have failed to register with authorities.
Oklahoma had the nation's fifth highest incarceration in 2011, the most recent for which data was available, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics.
David Nichols, the founder and president of Hand Up Ministries that helps convicted sex offenders transition back into society, said the group is relentlessly targeted by lawmakers looking to score political points and tout their "tough-on-crime" credentials. He said convicted sex offenders already are prohibited from living in most urban areas because of restrictions that include churches, daycares, schools, parks and playgrounds.
"They're more than piling on them," said Nichols, who has about 135 sex offenders living at a mobile home park in south Oklahoma City. "They don't want them to have a chance of staying out of prison.
"I'll be honest with you, I trust the politicians a lot less than these guys here."

The redesigned 2011 Scion tC coupe has officially earned a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Thanks in part to no fewer than eight airbags, the little Scion managed to ace the government's collision and rollover tests.
The tC features driver and passenger airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, driver and passenger knee airbags and side-curtain airbags.
In addition to its impressive airbag tally, the car also packs ABS, traction control, stability control, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution and Smart Stop technology to help prevent the airbags from ever having to deploy. Click past the jump to see the full press release.

All 2011 tCs come standard with Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Traction Control (TRAC), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Smart Stop Technology (SST).
Additional safety features include a tire pressure monitoring system and newly adopted active front headrests.

Weatherford Democrat Editor David May has been named general manager-editor for the Mineral Wells Index.
May, a veteran newspaper executive, worked 10-½ years as editor of the Index before becoming the Democrat's editor in December 2012.
He replaces publisher Mel Rhodes, whose retirement begins today.
"I am excited about my return to Mineral Wells and my new, expanded role," said May. "There are new challenges ahead of me but I am confident we can move the Index forward."
Jeff Smith, publisher of the Lone Star News Group that includes the Index and the Democrat, said he was pleased to see May return to the community and the paper he served at for more than a decade. He cited May's 25 years in the newspaper business as evidence of his knowledge of the industry.
"We believe David May will have a very positive impact on the Index and Mineral Wells," said Smith. "He knows the community and the people and where we need to go."
May spent his early journalism career as a reporter for the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung, The Paris, Texas, News and the Gastonia, N.C., Gazette. He later worked as an editorial executive at the Plano Star-Courier and The Marshall News Messenger as well as the Index and Democrat.
"I appreciate the support I received and many new friendships made in my time at the Democrat," said May. "We made some positive strides during my time here and the paper has a strong and bright future."
Democrat Assistant Editor Sally Sexton will serve as interim editor for the WD until a permanent replacement is named.

- Place the Russet potato pieces into a large saucepan, and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the sweet potato, and cook about 15 minutes more. Remove a piece of each potato, and cut it in half to see if it is cooked enough. Once the potatoes are tender, add corn kernels; cook another 30 seconds. Drain through a colander. Fill the saucepan with cold water, and drop vegetables into water. Cool for 5 minutes, and drain.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mustard, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic. Slowly whisk in oil. Mix in salt and black pepper.
- Cut cooled potatoes into 1 inch cubes, and add to dressing along with cucumber, and red onion. Toss well. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Toss the peanuts in just before serving.

Come on people!Doesn't anybody taste the dishes they make before they serve them?!I'm so tired of people giving a recipe a bad review because it didn't have enough flavor,salt,spice etc.Adding more flavor is about the easiest change you can make to a recipe.Make it,taste it,if it needs something more for your taste,add it!Everyone's taste is different~think for yourselves!Don't blindly follow a recipe that was made to a different persons idea of flavorful! That said~this was a great start and a great recipe once I personalized the flavor level.I added more lime,mustard,garlic,salt and pepper,and used 1Tbs veg. oil and 1Tbs peanut oil.I also used Yukon Gold potatoes because I like their texture more than Russet's.Great looking,great tasting,great texture! Enough said!
5 stars only for Great recipes -- this one deserves it! Don't be put off by negative reviews... some people just don't get it. This is NOT a potluck item or the deli slop you get at the supermarket; it's designed to be featured in a menu of complementary dishes. I continued the Caribbean theme and grilled jerk chicken (Jay's), accompanied with a spicy mango salsa (both recipes on this website) and rice. As with all dishes calling for produce or herbs, freshness is key! -- most ingredients were purchased the same day at a farmer's market. Used Yukon potatoes and fresh sweet corn sliced from the cob. Cucumbers add an unexpected freshness and texture. After a decade of cilantro overkill, this dished utilized it for maximum definition. The dressing was wonderful; just added a little extra lime for zip. Will be using this dish repeatedly -- especially at potlucks where previous reviewers will leave it for me to take home and devour!
Loved this. I made it for a gathering and everyone loved it! I used parsley instead of cilantro...only because I goofed when I bought it, but I'm not a big fan of cilantro so it worked out for me! I also doubled the entire dressing part of the recipe and used about 2/3 of the amount of the dressing I made. I bought two medium russet potatoes because they didn't have the giant ones, also bought a yam (or so it was labled - I don't really know the difference). Also, I cooked the potatoes the day before, dunked them in ice water after cooking (as stated) and then sealed them a plastic container in the fridge. I think this really helps set the potatoes so that they don't fall apart. I also made the dressing the day before and I think that helped meld the flavors. I mixed the solid ingredients at home before taking to the outing and I put the dressing on at the VERY LAST minute right before serving.

Herald Associate Editor
---- — The next few months will be a busy time for area voters.
School board elections will be Sept. 10, and for Clinton voters there are six candidates to choose from to fill four seats.
Then, in November, voters will return to the polls for an off-year election, but instead of electing a man or a woman who works in Washington, D.C., or Des Moines, representatives who affect almost every single aspect of your daily life will be on the Clinton City Council ballot.
If you're a regular reader of my column, you already know my thoughts about local elections. The turnouts are usually awful, which is discouraging.
These people watch over our community, whether it be to improve schools, better our neighborhoods or reach into our pocketbooks.
If you want something done about your street, don't bother President Barack Obama with your request. Sure, there's federal money available for city projects, but our local representatives are the ones who make the decision of taking that money and then figuring out a way to match it.
The Herald covered Wednesday's Clinton School Board candidate forum, and biographies of each candidate from Clinton, Camanche and Northeast will be featured Sept. 3. The information is and will continue to be available. Now, it's up to you to use that and get out and vote.
Once the school board's election closes, the City Council election will not only feature selecting representatives, but also will include a measure that will deal directly with every homeowners' wallet.
The two ballot measures will deal with a common problem in this city — funding sewer work.
This time the work is for $23 million worth of repairs in fiscal years 2018 to 2025. The first measure asks voters to grant the city permission to reallocate the 50 percent portion of the Local Option Sales Tax that is used for property tax abatement to streets and sewer work.
The second measure will ask voters to increase their taxes by allowing the city to add a capital projects tax levy, resulting in another 0.675 mills added to their taxes from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2039.
Obviously, those measures don't harken back to George H. W. Bush's 1988 promise of "no new taxes." We all know how that worked out.
Once again, the city has a conundrum of how to afford mandated sewer work. And it will once again be on the back of the taxpayer, which is already weighed down by the highest sewer rates in the state, high property taxes, high assessments on homes, escalating water and solid waste bills...I could go on, but I think you get my point.
If the first measure fails, the road reconstruction project that has done well and improved local streets, will likely cease to exist, pushing $1.5 million over to sewer work.
In a previous column I wrote months ago, I said that although the road work has been a success for the City Council, I could live without it as long as my rates don't go up anymore. Streets are important, but becoming competitive on being an affordable place to live is more important. The more people we can attract, the more people we will have to pay taxes, thus funding more work to our sewers and streets (sounds much easier than it actually is).
Lastly, the second measure, which would be another tax hike, doesn't appear likely to happen in my opinion, so I hope there's a backup at City Hall if that doesn't go through.
And that may be the most important factor of these measures — the city needs a backup. And if they're willing to ask us (the citizens) to raise our taxes, forcing us to trim back on our expenses, there should be a detailed plan on how the city will curb expenses.
Now, all those items are in the voters' hands. Don't let the opportunity to make a change in the community slip through your fingers.

October 26, 2005
On Wednesday, the entry box closed and post positions were drawn for the 22nd edition of the Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships. Owners, trainers, jockeys, and members of the media gathered at the pavilion tent at Belmont Park for breakfast and to witness the proceedings, hosted by TV host Kenny Rice.
Although all eight Championship races had full fields pre-entered, only the Classic, Filly and Mare Turf, and Juvenile had fourteen horses make final entry. The Juvenile Fillies suffered the most, with just 10 making entry from 14 pre-entered. Among the late withdrawals was Turf hopeful Alkaased, due to a poor blood test result.
Not all trainers were happy with the posts their charges will break from. Luca Cumani, trainer of Starcraft, was unluckiest of all, drawing the outside 14 hole in the Classic, a very unfavorable situation given the position of the starting gate at Belmont for 1 1/4 mile races. Cumani said, "We got the 'visitors' draw. He'll just have to run a bit faster now. We're giving a lot of ground away and ground given away is ground lost. It was going to be hard but 14 makes it even harder." Starcraft was listed at 12-1 on the morning line.
Bobby Frankel, trainer of Mile favorite Leroidesanimaux, was equally frustrated when his 7-5 shot drew 11, one away from the far outside. He said, "I can't say I'm too happy about it. They start this race on a turn, so being outside isn't good. He's got plenty of speed, but you don't want to have to use too much to get into position. Still, what are you going to do?"
By comparison, trainer Don Chatlos Jr, of defending Mile champion Singletary, was pleased with his post. "I'm glad. Somewhere between 6 and 10 was all I wanted. Nine is perfect. Anywhere where (jockey David) Flores has options. I didn't want him walking out of the jock's room with the rail or the far outside with only one thing in mind. This way he can just break and ride his race. Flores always rides him well, I don't expect any different Saturday."
Greg Gilchrist trains Sprint favorite Lost in the Fog, who figures to be the shortest price on the board on Breeders' Cup day. The even-money choice on the morning line drew post 7. Gilchrist said, "I'm fine with the post position. If I had to rule one out, I wouldn't want to be the 11. On the far outside he'd really have to use himself. The configuration at Belmont, the start of the 3/4 has a short run to the turn." Asked about the short price on his horse, Gilchrist said, "He has the amazing respect of at least one man (the morning line-maker). I knew coming in he'd be a short price. I suppose he's deserving of it. Every race is something new."

Welcome to the Parishes web page for the Diocese of Orlando. Here you will be able to view a parish map and search for a parish by zip code or city. There is a also a link to Mass times that provides up to date Mass times in our area.
We hope this will be a resource to you and that you will seek to participate in the celebration of the Holy Mass and live your faith in Jesus Christ.
"The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life."
(Catechism of the Catholic Church #1324)
"The Mass is at the same time, and inseparably, the sacrificial memorial in which the sacrifice of the cross is perpetuated and the sacred banquet of communion with the Lord's body and blood. But the celebration of the Eucharistic sacrifice is wholly directed toward the intimate union of the faithful with Christ through communion. To receive communion is to receive Christ himself who has offered himself for us."
(Catechism of the Catholic Church #1382)

The Things We Can't Talk About, When We Do Talk About Race, And Barack Obama
by nycweboy1, Fri Apr 25, 2008 at 05:07:24 PM EDT
Although this is my first entry at MyDD, I have been blogging for about a year and a half on my own; the election, and writing about it, has helped attract readers, and bolster my confidence as a writer, things for which I am grateful. It's a little odd to me that I would choose a dicey subject like our racial divides as a jumping off point, but it's something I care about (and have written about, as the links will show), and I think someone has to try. My intent, of course, is not to offend, but to invite a dialogue, and a way to get into a difficult subject. Whether it succeeds or not... is up to you.
It doesn't surprise me that one outcome of this week's primary results is that the tensions of talking about the dynamics of this election season have gotten rougher; a lot of Obama supporters - which could easily be described as "the media" - have had to readjust to the fact that Clinton's win in PA was solid, as good as her supporters expected, if not better, and made it clear that things we'd been saying were turning out to be true. And that, in turn, has led to some expected hand-wringing about the kind of divide the results exposed.
Put another, less PC way... it's gotten hard to ignore that some white people don't vote for Barack Obama.
The question, of course is why. And in order to discuss that, naturally, we need to talk about some difficult subjects. And race, really is only part of it. It's also class, and economics, and cultural tensions... but simmering under and around all of it is people talking frankly about race in a way that most people find uncomfortable, a way that has to acknowledge perceptions and prejudices without, necessarily, giving into them.
And I mean that both ways: some, I think, struggle with a way to talk about working class white voters that doesn't resort to "redneck" or "trailer trash" type stereotyping; the opposite, of course, is sweeping generalizations about black people that are clearly prejudiced if not flat out racist. Complicating it are perceptions, stereotypes and casual notions many of us hold, things we rarely admit, or discuss with strangers.

Written by Rusty Wright
Rusty Wright takes a hard look at this question: does Christianity promote racism? He looks at the lives and teachings of Jesus and Paul to see if they taught equality of all races or promoted racism. He finds that it is not the teachings of Christianity that promote racism. A biblical worldview will create a love for all men and a desire to win them to Christ.
Thirty years after the heyday of the Civil Rights movement, racial issues in the US remain sensitive. Racial quotas in the workplace and academia continue to be controversial. Prominent corporations are accused of racist practices. Certain supremacy groups promote the Bible, God and the white race. Race and politics interact in ways that carry both national and international significance.
A few years back, the Southern Baptist Convention made headlines for renouncing racism, condemning slavery and apologizing for the church's intolerant past. That laudable contrition raised a deeper question: Why would Christianity ever be associated with racial oppression in the first place? How did the faith whose founder told people to "love one another" ever become linked with human bondage and social apartheid?
African-American theologian James Cone notes that "In the old slavery days, the Church preached that slavery was a divine decree, and it used the Bible as the basis of its authority."{1}
"Not only did Christianity fail to offer the ... [Black] hope of freedom in the world, but the manner in which Christianity was communicated to him tended to degrade him. The ... [Black] was taught that his enslavement was due to the fact that he had been cursed by God. ... Parts of the Bible were carefully selected to prove that God had intended that the...[Black] should be the servant of the white man...."{2}
As a white baby boomer growing up in the South, I experienced segregated schools, restrooms, drinking fountains and beaches. My parents taught and modeled equality, so the injustice I saw saddened me deeply. I was appalled that the Ku Klux Klan used the Bible and the cross in its rituals.
During college, a friend brought an African-American student to a church I attended in North Carolina. The next Sunday, the pastor announced that because of "last week's racial incident" (the attendance of a Black), church leaders had voted to maintain their longstanding policy of racial segregation. Thereafter, any Blacks attending would be handed a note explaining the policy and asking that they not return. I was outraged and left the church. (Postscript: A few years ago I learned that that white church had folded and that an African-American church came to use the same facility. Maybe God has a sense of humor.)
Does Christianity promote racism? Is it mainly a faith for whites? This article will examine these two burning questions.
Does the Christian faith promote racism? Is it mainly for whites? Certain extremists think so. Some slavery-era ministers wrote books justifying slavery. George D. Armstrong wrote in The Christian Doctrine of Slavery, "It may be... that Christian slavery is God's solution of the problem [relation of labor and capital] about which the wisest statesmen of Europe confess themselves at fault."{3}
Consider another book, Slavery Ordained of God. In it, Fred A. Ross wrote, "Slavery is ordained of God, ... to continue for the good of the slave, the good of the master, the good of the whole American family, until another and better destiny may be unfolded."{4}
Those words seem quite different from the biblical injunction to "love your neighbor as yourself," a statement with equally poignant historical roots.
In first-century Palestine, the Jews and Samaritans were locked in a blood feud. Divided by geography, religion and race, the two groups spewed venom. Each had its own turf. Jews considered the Samaritans to be racial "half-breeds." The two groups disputed which followed the Bible better and on whose land proper worship should occur.
The Samaritans were often inhospitable to{5} and hostile toward the Jews. Many Jewish pilgrims deliberately lengthened their journeys to bypass Samaria. Jews publicly cursed Samaritans in their synagogues, would not allow Samaritan testimony in Jewish courts, and generally considered Samaritans excluded from eternal life.{6}
Once a Jewish lawyer asked Jesus of Nazareth, "Who is my neighbor?"{7} Jesus, who as Jew surprised people by mixing freely with Samaritans, told him a now famous story. Robbers attacked a Jewish traveler, beating him and leaving him half-dead. Two Jewish religious leaders ignored the injured man as they passed by. But a Samaritan felt compassion for the Jewish victim -- his cultural enemy -- and bandaged his wounds, transported him to an inn and provided for his care. Jesus' point? This "Good Samaritan" was an example of how we should relate to those with whom we differ.
The founder of the Christian faith was no racist. He told people to get along. What about a chief expositor of the Christian faith? And why is eleven o-clock Sunday morning often the most segregated hour of the week? Let's turn now to these important questions.
Does Christianity promote racism? As we have seen, Jesus of Nazareth was no racist. Living in a culturally and racially diverse society that was in many ways analogous to ours, He promoted harmony by His example and His words. What about Paul, one of the chief expositors of faith in Christ?
Paul often had to counsel members of the communities he advised about diversity issues. Some in the groups with which he consulted were Jews, some were non-Jews or "Gentiles." Some were slaves and some were free. Some were men and some were women. The mix was potentially explosive.
From prison, Paul wrote to a friend whose slave had run away, had met Paul, and had come to faith. Paul appealed to his friend on the basis of their relationship to welcome the slave back not as a slave but as a brother. He offered to repay any loss from his own pocket. The letter survives in the New Testament as the book of "Philemon" and is a touching example of a dedicated believer seeking to internally motivate a slaveholder to change his attitudes and behavior.{8}
Paul felt that the faith he had once persecuted could unify people. He wrote to one group of believers that because of their common spiritual commitment, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one...."{9} Paul, a Jew by birth, wrote to some non-Jewish believers that "Christ himself has made peace between us Jews and you Gentiles by making us all one people. He has broken down the wall of hostility that used to separate us."{10}
Paul exhorted another group of believers to live in harmony. He wrote, "Since God chose you to be the holy people whom he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. And the most important piece of clothing you must wear is love. Love is what binds us all together in perfect harmony."{11}
Paul promoted harmony, not discord. If the founder of the faith and its chief expositor were not racists, why is eleven o'clock Sunday morning often the most segregated hour of the week?
Why is Christianity often associated with racism? The short answer is that some that claim to be followers of Jesus are not really following Him. They may have the label "Christian," but perhaps they never have established a personal friendship with Christ. They may be like I was for many years: a church member, seemingly devoted, but who had never accepted Christ's pardon based on His death and resurrection for me. Or they may have genuine faith, but haven't allowed God into the driver's seat of their life. I've been there, too.
I shall always remember Norton and Bo. Norton was a leader of the Georgia Black Student Movement in the 1970s. Bo was a racially prejudiced white Christian. Once during an Atlanta civil rights demonstration, Bo and some of his cronies beat Norton up. The animosity ran deep.
Norton later discovered that Christianity was not a religion of oppressive rules, but a relationship with God. As his faith sprouted and grew, his anger mellowed while his desire for social justice deepened. Meanwhile, Bo rejected his hypocrisy and began to follow his faith with God in control. Three years after the beating, the two unexpectedly met again at a Christian conference. Initial tension melted into friendship as they forgave each other, reconciled and treated each other like brothers.
Of course not all disobedient Christians are racists. Nor is everyone not aligned with Jesus a racist. But faith in Christ can give enemies motivation to reconcile, to replace hatred with love.
Historical examples abound of true faith opposing racism. John Newton, an 18th-century British slave trader, came to faith, renounced his old ways, became a pastor, and wrote the famous hymn, "Amazing Grace." Newton encouraged his Christian friend, William Wilberforce, who faced scorn and ridicule in leading a long but successful battle in Parliament to abolish the slave trade.
Does Christianity promote racism? No, true Christianity seeks to eliminate racism by changing people's hearts.
After I had spoken on this theme in a sociology class at North Carolina State University, a young African-American woman told me, "All my life I've been taught that white Christians were responsible for the oppression of my people. Now I realize those oppressors were not really following Christ."
Is Christianity just for whites? Norton, the Black activist, certainly did not think so. Let's look further at the faith that crosses racial divides.
Is Christianity just for whites? Jesus and Paul said anyone who believed would be plugged into God forever. Africa has millions who follow Jesus. Koreans send missionaries to the US. And don't we need them!
In Cape Town, South Africa, Saint James Church has been a beacon of diversity and social concern with its white, Black, Asian and biracial members. One Sunday evening, radical Black terrorists sprayed the multiracial congregation with automatic gunfire and grenades. Eleven died and 53 were wounded, some horribly maimed. The world press was astounded by the members' reaction.
Lorenzo Smith, who is biracial, saw his wife, Myrtle, die from shrapnel that pierced her heart as he tried to shield her. Yet he forgave the killers. "I prayed for those that committed the crime," he told me, "so they, too, can come to meet [the Lord]."
The president of the West African nation of Benin came to the US a few years back with a message for African American leaders: His compatriots were sorry for their ancestors' complicity in the slave trade. An often-overlooked component of slavery's historical stain is that Black Africans sold other Black Africans into slavery. When rival tribes made war, the victors took prisoners and made them indentured servants, often selling them to white slave merchants.
Benin's President Kerekou, who in recent years had made his own commitment to Christ, invited political and church leaders to his nation so his tribal leaders could seek reconciliation with African Americans.
Brian Johnson, an African-American organizer, said the realization that Blacks sold other Blacks into slavery has been difficult for many African Americans to handle. "This made it difficult to hold the White man responsible," he explained as we spoke. "This creates some problems in our own psyche. We have to deal with another angle to this.... It's not merely a Black-White thing."
The problem is in human hearts, Johnson believes. "All have sinned," he claims, quoting the New Testament.{12} "All of us need to confess our wrong and appeal to [God] for forgiveness."
Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy lamented that "Everybody thinks of changing humanity, but nobody thinks of changing himself."{13} True Christianity is not just for whites, and it does not promote racism but seeks to eliminate it. Changing corrupt institutions is very important. An ultimate solution to racism involves changing individual hearts.

This study of 16thand 17th-century murder pamphlets is marred by trendy jargon, says John Trappes-Lomax
The Antichrist's Lewd Hat: Protestants, Papists and Play ers in Post-Reformation England, by Peter Lake with Michael Questier, Yale University Press £30
There is much of value in this book, but the style of its more than 700 pages is likely to deter readers. The first page provides the first example: what is "a decently denuded and deHabermased notion of the public sphere"? Here is another: "Then, the three lemons of order, reform and puritan-style godliness were lining up nicely on the slot machine of Elizabethan ideological politics as a trumping discursive jackpot". Is there a prize for the worst metaphor of the year? And another: "such hard and fast distinctions between 'public' and the `private, the domestic and the economic. between, if you like, oeikos and oeconomeia, really do violence to the ways in which the original audience conceived of order and disorder". When something has been said twice in English, there will not be many who would like to hear it said a third time in Greek, and even they would probably prefer the Greek to be correct.
And another: "some of the most pointy-headed of contemporary pointy-headed clerical intellectuals". This adds nothing to "clerical intellectuals"; 12 words have been used to do the work of two. Academic publishers presented with material of this sort ought to have it translated into decent English; the expense of hiring an interpreter would easily be recovered in reduced printing costs and increased sales.
The author's route into his varied and extensive subject matter is by way of murder pamphlets dating from 1580 to 1640; these give an insight into the presuppositions of popular culture, because that was the culture of their intended purchasers.
Of course the pamphlets contain much that must be fictional, and in most cases murderers and victims were so obscure that we have no independent knowledge of them. There is one important exception: in 1605, Walter Calverley of Calverley, a wealthy Yorkshire landowner. murdered two of his three infant sons and was himself put to death; playwrights and pamphleteers tell us that he killed his wife as well, and that he killed his children to save them from destitution, because his gambling had swallowed up his wealth in debts and mortgages; this much Lake seems to accept as true.
The facts are otherwise. Mrs Calverley recovered from her wounds. Mr Calverley refused to plead to his indictment and was pressed to death. His motive for choosing so horrible an end must have been to avoid conviction and the consequent escheat of his real estate; he therefore had real estate to preserve. This is confirmed by the fact that Henry. his only surviving son, remained at Calverley: he became an ardent Royalist, and his estates were sequestrated; it cost him the enormous sum of £1.455 to recover them, which shows that he possessed several thousand acres. Henry's son was knighted by Charles H: his grandson was made a baronet in 1711. It is clear that the murderer died a very rich man, and that the motive given by the pamphlets is false; nor can they be relied on even for the details of the indictment, for Walter did not in fact murder his wife.
Therefore we do not have to believe what we read of another infanticide, Margaret Vincent; she was supposedly converted to Catholicism and therefore deemed it her duty to strangle her children and thus save them from her husband's Protestantism and its consequence of eternal damnation; the pamphlet tells us that she repented and made an edifying and Anglican death.
This introduces an important theme. The authorities wished the condemned to admit their guilt; on the gallows the genuinely guilty could be expected to do so, as there was nothing to be gained in this world by continued falsehood and much to be lost in the next. Catholics executed because of their religion continued to protest their innocence; as a result their hearers annoyed the authorities by being inclined to believe them. If he had no contemporary material, the author might usefully have alluded to a pamphlet of the Popish Plot, Lying allowable with Papists to deceive Protestants: in a Letter Written by a Minister of the Church of England, to satisfie a Friend who was much stagger'd at the reading the Speeches of the late Travtors, who at their Death, June 25, 1679, so confidently affirmed their Innocency. The title says it all.
The author shows how the presumptions of the pamphlets can be found both on the stage and in the sermons and publications of the various religious groupings. Thus, both Hamlet and Macbeth share many of the popular themes of the murder pamphlets, especially in the workings of avenging providence.
Likewise it is often suggested by their opponents that both Protestant Puritans and Catholic rigorists are in fact as sinful as everyone else; a similar theme can be found in the pamphlet about Enoch ap Evan, a Welsh Puritan who allegedly decapitated his mother and brother because they insisted on kneeling at communion.
However, it is impossible to summarise such rich and important material in a short review. This book will be essential for specialists; it should also be of great interest to the rest of us, but readers will need time and stamina to work through a volume which could have been much shorter without omitting anything of importance.

Spencer Reed fucks MY arse live on stage
It's the HotRods night and the awards are in full swing. With young stud Sam Barclay getting his harness on and socks pulled up, he's getting ready for one hell of a heavy fucking by US superstar Spencer Reed live and in front of the entire club! Collared and chained, there's a reason why Spencer is Best Top 2012 and this is it! With Sam getting throat fucked and arse eaten by our daddy in charge, he's swiftly bent double in front of everyone and ploughed hard by Spencer's famous thick cut cock! Pushed and pulled all the way in and all the way out, there's no denying Sam is feeling every rock hard inch playing with his insides as his neck is pulled back and tight body contorted with each heavy thrust until both men spunk hard, leaving the stage awash with man juice.
Hope you have a fab Christmas
Festive love SammyB Xx
WorldOfMen.com Dominic Pacifico fucks my hole
So my next scene is out!! Yes a new site for you to see me on WorldOfMen
Dominico Pacifico fucks Brit muscle pup Sam Barclay
Dominic Pacifico really hit the jackpot on his recent trip to the UK. The Latino LA native loves to get his fuck on when he travels overseas, and he hooks up with Sam Barclay his first night in a nightclub. They end up at Dominico's suite and the pair get naked, kissing and groping each other and pawing at each other's cocks. Dominico gets on his knees to suck on the Brit lad's stiff cock and eat out his delicious tight fuckhole. Sam is so turned on by the Latino stud servicing his throbbing cock and asshole, he thinks he might blow his load prematurely. Dominico wants to tease out Sam's experience, so he relents on the cock and presents his own throbbing member for the muscle pup to devour. Sam sucks on Dominico's cock like a piece of candy until Dom wants to feel the hot flesh of Sam's ass. He rams his stiff cock into Sam's tight asshole and pumps him until both dudes dump massive loads of cum all over each other.
Hoped you enjoyed the pictures

Critics of the synthetic drug known as have been calling for a statewide ban on the substance, which can have powerful side effects.
On Tuesday, Gov. Rick Snyder is expected to sign into law a ban on the drug, which has been sold legally because it is marketed as herbal incense or potpurri and is labeled "not for human consumption."
The Detroit Free Press reports: "One of the bills updates the list of chemicals used to make synthetic drugs and would make them illegal to possess and sell. The ban would go into effect July 1."
Other legislation would go into effect immediately and authorize the state to temporarily ban a substance if officials decide it poses an "imminent danger to people's health. It is designed to allow health officials to respond quicker to changing formulas used in synthetic drugs," the Free Press reports.
On June 11, .
The resolution stated that the Ferndale City Council opposes the "availability and use of herbal incense products consisting of plants and other materials treated with synthetic cannabinoids within the city of Ferndale" and "requests the Michigan Legislature adopt legislation banning the sale and possession of these dangerous substances as soon as possible."
Earlier this month, Ferndale Police Chief Timothy Collins sent notices to about 30 local vendors asking for participation in an with every business owner contacted complying with the request.
Snyder's signing will take place prior to an interactive Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. where the governor will take questions online, from Lansing, via a Google+ Hangout from groups in Northville, Lansing, Grand Rapids and other towns.

Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
Dear Editor:
Owing to a recent string of successful movies about a certain Captain Jack Sparrow, the term pirates now conjures up images of jolly men drinking and wenching and having adventures on the high seas.
The reality of piracy is much less romantic, as the modern day pirates who prowl the coast off Somalia have proven. Pirates are robbers who use violence and intimidation to separate people from their money.
Our homegrown pirates do not use violence to rob us, but instead have found a way to separate us from our hard-earned money through the time-tested techniques of monopoly, price fixing and price gouging at the gasoline pumps.
Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson fought such Robber Barons, as they were then known, by using the courts and government regulation as well as the bully pulpit to weaken the stranglehold monopolies had on American businesses.
This became known as trust busting, and it proved an effective deterrent to the abhorrent practice of a few strong businesses controlling a particular commodity, then driving out weaker competitors and demanding exorbitant prices to deliver the commodity to consumers. That is exactly the situation we in the Somerset area find ourselves in today.
A few people control the delivery of oil and gasoline and the retail outlets in this area, and they consistently demand more money for gasoline than any of the surrounding markets are charging. But alas, where are today's trust busters? Our Congress is so busy with in-fighting that it cannot find its oversized backside with both hands. The city of Somerset seems powerless to shame the price gougers and the state Attorney General's investigation of Marathon and Speedway seems to have gone nowhere in a hurry.
I submit that it is up to us, the consumers, to stop this odious price fixing and price gouging by shopping for gasoline in cheaper markets, wherever we may find them.
Driving a little extra distance to buy gas may be a small waste of gasoline, but if enough people do it, the greedy people who monopolize our oil and gas will feel the pinch.
Just yesterday, gas in at the Marathon station in Nicholasville on U.S. 27 was 25 cents a gallon cheaper than here in Somerset. Stations as close as Stanton and Renfro Valley are often 10 to 15 cents cheaper. Monticello generally charges less for gas than here.
So I put it to you, the citizens of Somerset. Will you continue to pay whatever the monopoly here demands or will you look for opportunities to buy gas when you travel to other places? You won't just be saving a few dollars here and there. You will be helping to fight an insidious monopoly and you will be exercising the most basic form of democracy we have. You will be voting for change with your hard-earned dollars.

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2015 DeMarini CF7 Insane Fastpitch Softball Bat: DXCFI? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
My daughter is nine. She just finished her first season of fast pitch using the CF 7 drop -11. She is stocky and very tall, she looks like a 12 year old. She hits very hard, 4 home runs in her last two games. I want to get her a second bat. Should I get her the Demarini CF7 Insane or get or the same bat she is using and use the old bat as a practice bat?
The 2015 DeMarini CF7 Insane (DXCFI) would be a great bat to go with, it will have an end loaded feel to help your daughter get more distance on her hits.
I have never used a DeMarini and I am a 12u player going to 14u. I was wondering if this would be a good bat for hitting and bunting. If not, what CF7 bat would you recommend?
The 2015 DeMarini CF7 Insane Fastpitch Softball Bat (DXCFI) is going to be direct more towards a power hitter because of its end loaded feel. If you are more of a power hitter then I would recommend any of the other CF7's because they will have that balanced feel which is preferred for a contact/slap hitter.
Would this be good bat going from the 2013 DeMarini CF5 Hope?
The 2015 DeMarini CF7 Insane (DXCFI) would be a more barrel heavy or end-loaded design than the 2013 DeMarini CF5 Hope (DXCFH). If the player has gotten stronger and has better swing speed then that could be a good option but it would be an adjustment as far as the feel goes.
Product Description
New for 2015! If you want to start swinging out of your mind, you need the new DeMarini CF7 Insane! This season's Insane is a -10 CF7 with a slightly more end-loaded weight to create a sledge hammer effect. It also features the same D-Fusion handle technology as last year's CF6 Insane. The D-Fusion handle eliminates vibrations and redirects energy back into the barrel creating not only an incredible feel, but more POP! The D-Fusion handle also opens up a better sound on all hits across the barrel. Ready to bust loose, this year's CF7 Insane is the hottest composite fastpitch bat out of the wrapper that DeMarini has ever produced. That's due to the all new Paradox Composite barrel and handle on this two-piece design. Paradox Composite makes the barrel stronger, while being scientifically shaped to feel softer on impact. This makes for a bigger, hotter, and more responsive sweet spot and consistently more powerful swings! The CF7 Insane features Stacked Double Wall Construction that creates a trampoline effect across the entirety of the barrel for completely optimized performance. At the end of the barrel, the end cap provides optimal barrel compression and maximizes the sweet spot. If you're at the top of your game and demand the absolute best, it's the CF7 Insane or nothing! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The CF7 Insane is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Tier 1 Capital
|Capital Element
|URE & URE Equivalents
|We may create the term "URE equivalents" and ask commenters to help us identify types of allocated surplus and/or stock that would constitute URE equivalents.
|Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (NPPS)
|We may limit NPPS to an amount less than 50 percent of Tier 1 capital. We seek comments on ways to limit NPPS as Tier 1 capital while avoiding the downward spiral effect that can occur when other elements of Tier 1 capital decrease.
|Allocated Surplus and
Member Stock
|We may treat most forms of allocated surplus and member stock as Tier 1 capital, provided System institutions are subject to a regulatory mechanism that would give the FCA the additional ability to effectively monitor and, if necessary, take actions that would restrict, suspend, or prohibit capital distributions before a System institution reaches its regulatory capital minimums. We ask commenters to help us develop this mechanism.
Tier 2 Capital
|Capital Element
|Association's Excess Investment in the Bank
|We may treat the amount of an association's investment that is in excess of its bank requirement, whether counted by the bank or the association, as Tier 2 capital.
|Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL)
|We have not determined whether any portion of ALL should be treated as Tier 2 capital. We seek comments as to why the FCA should count a portion of ALL as regulatory capital.
|Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and Long-Term Preferred Stock
|We may adopt the definitions, criteria and/or limits consistent with future revisions to the Basel Accord and FFRA guidelines. We also may adopt aggregate third-party capital limits that are unique to the System.
|Unrealized Holding Gains on AFS Securities
|This element is currently addressed in the FFRAs' guidelines but is subject to change. We seek comment on the appropriate treatment of this element and specific examples of how this application would affect System institutions.
|Intermediate-term Preferred Stock and Subordinated Debt
|We may adopt the definitions, criteria and/or limits consistent with future revisions to the Basel Accord and FFRA guidelines. We also may adopt aggregate third-party capital limits that are unique to the System.
|Association Continuously Redeemable Preferred Stock
|We view this element as a 1-day term instrument that would not currently qualify as Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital. We seek comments to help us develop a regulatory mechanism that would make the stock sufficiently permanent to be included in Tier 2 capital.
Regulatory Adjustments
|We may apply most of the deductions currently in our regulations to the new regulatory capital ratios. However, in view of the Basel Consultative Proposal, we are considering reflecting the net effect of accumulated other comprehensive income in the new regulatory capital ratios.
System Institution Category
Risk Metrics*
(e.g. capital, asset, and liquidity metrics)
Regulatory Requirements
(e.g., periodic reporting, prior approval on distributions, etc.)
|Category 1
|Capital Ratios = high
Asset Quality = strong
Asset Growth = low
Liquidity = high
|Category 2
|Capital Ratios = adequate
Asset Quality = fair
Asset Growth = high
Liquidity = adequate
Institution must report all capital ratios to the FCA on a monthly basis and explain how asset quality, asset growth and liquidity have impacted the ratios
|Category 3
|Capital Ratios = low
Asset Quality = poor
Asset Growth = high
Liquidity = low
Possible restrictions on capital distributions**
Reporting requirements of Category 2, and the FCA may increase the scope and intensity of a specific institution-related issue on more than a monthly basis
The Capital Ratio thresholds for Category 3 would be the Regulatory Capital Minimums.
|If a System institution does not meet one or more of the regulatory minimum capital requirements, the FCA could take one or more supervisory actions under its existing authorities, such as conditions imposed in writing on transactions that require FCA approval; requiring a capital restoration plan; issuing supervisory letters, cease and desist orders, or capital directives; or placing the institution in conservatorship or receivership when there are grounds for doing so.
