BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana's largest business lobbying group on Wednesday declared its opposition to Gov. Bobby Jindal's tax system rewrite because the plan would shift new tax costs to businesses.
The announcement by the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry dealt a blow to the proposal that Jindal has pitched as a boost for state economic development, business creation and job growth.
LABI President Dan Juneau said his organization, which represents 3,200 businesses across industry sectors, cannot support any proposal that "would be balanced on the backs of the business community."
"LABI's policy is clear: If the tax swap proposal is introduced as a net increase in business taxes or is amended during the legislative process to take that form, LABI will oppose it," Juneau said.
While that business organization announced its opposition, the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association declared Wednesday that Jindal's proposal would create more oil and gas industry jobs, though the association said it still was awaiting a final draft of the legislation.
Jindal proposes to eliminate state income taxes on individuals and businesses.
To keep the plan "revenue neutral," the Republican governor would eliminate some severance tax breaks, raise state sales taxes from 4 percent to 5.88 percent, and charge sales tax on an array of new services, including many that businesses rely upon: like accounting, architectural, engineering and janitorial services.
Jindal's leader on the tax overhaul, Tim Barfield, told lawmakers this week that the governor's proposal would move $500 million in tax costs from residents to businesses.
Lawmakers will decide the tax plan's fate in the legislative session that begins April 8.
Jindal said he's "not at all" worried about LABI's opposition.
"This tax plan is going to be good for Louisiana families at every level. It's going to be good for businesses in Louisiana," he said. He added, "The only people defending the status quo are those that have lobbyists, lawyers and others that have gotten loopholes and want to protect those loopholes."
While tax costs for businesses would grow, Barfield said companies would benefit from the increased stability and transparency that he associated with a shift from income taxes to sales taxes.
"Transparency's wonderful, but if you look through the crystal ball and see a huge tax increase, I don't think transparency excites the people who are going to be hit with this increase," said Juneau, whose organization often has been Jindal's ally on issues.
Don Briggs, oil and gas association president, said he's received assurances from the Jindal administration that oil and gas services would remain exempt from the new sales tax. He said the organization also has reached an agreement on how to shrink severance tax breaks, and he's satisfied it won't harm the industry.
Juneau worried the sales tax increase on companies would be even larger than the $500 million outlined by Barfield, because that was based on tax data from 2011. He said businesses also were concerned they could face other tax increases indirectly tied to the governor's proposal.
He said increased state sales taxes would make it difficult for local government agencies to raise and renew sales taxes at the local level. Juneau said that might make those agencies turn to property tax increases, and he said businesses pay more than 70 percent of the properly taxes collected in Louisiana.
Juneau suggested the governor needed to scrap his tax swap proposal and take more time to review ideas for tax reform. He said LABI does support the governor's proposal to consolidate local sales tax collections at the state level.
Asked whether he saw the current tax structure as a disincentive to business attraction as Jindal leaders have claimed, Juneau replied, "I don't know anybody who's gone to state officials, any organized groups before this came up and said, 'You know what? We need to drop everything we're doing and totally revamp the tax system.' I don't know that there's been that hue and cry for that."
MAR 7 Here's a great read on Mother Jones about Bobby Jindal and how his personal history has shaped the candidate. Again, the concept of personality and charisma (or a lack thereof) is raised, when Tim Murphy writes that Jindal has tried very hard but has "been eclipsed by a succession of shinier objects" like Rubio, Cruz and Christie. His real problem, former Gov. Buddy Roemer is quoted here as saying, is his ambition.
MAR 7 A Baton Rouge legislator is trying again to put the famous (or infamous) red light cameras to a public vote, this WBRZ story reports. One bill prefiled by Jeff Arnold would require voters to approve the money-making operations. Another would require that each ticket be served, instead of mailed, on the alleged violator.
MAR 7 Columnist Mark Moseley writes about "commentgate" in this post on the Lens, mostly to remind us that "we don't know jack squat" about what really happened. Sure, the scandal of federal prosecutors anonymously commenting on the Picayune's website about cases in their office brought down Jim Letten and all of his buds, but we still know virtually nothing about what really happened, and all the perpetrators have not been identified, Moseley argues.
MAR 7 Blogger Rod Dreher examines a recent poll that found Catholics sure like the new pope, but it's not having any effect on their behavior. He's a good guy and represents a positive change in their church, but it doesn't mean they're going to Mass more than they used to, Dreher tells us. Why is that? Dreher thinks it is because most American Catholics are just going to do what they want, regardless of who the pope is.
MAR 7 First it was a bunch of federal prosecutors, now an Arkansas judge. A political blogger outed a circuit judge as the same guy making nasty (and possibly racist, sexist and homophobic) comments on an LSU sports message board, the Picayune reports here. The judge, who was running for an appeals court seat up there, has ended his campaign and apologized. Not a good move for someone whose judgment affects people's lives.
MAR 7 To follow up on dad Don Briggs' recent splash in the headlines, here's a story that reads more like a letter to the editor by Gifford Briggs, vice president of LOGA, the group his dad heads up. It's time to stand up and support the poor, defenseless oil and gas industry, we're told. The "greedy trial lawyers" are trotted out, and we're urged to help him "change Louisiana."
MAR 7 Blogger Stephen Sabludowsky writes about the upcoming political spring in this post on Bayou Buzz. He's covering Jindal's agenda, education, this year's attempt to repeal creationism in public schools, and Bill Cassidy's Tea Party alignment, among other things.
MAR 7 Don't look for Bobby "I've got the job I want" Jindal to be in Louisiana this weekend. As this story in the Los Angeles Times reports, he'll be on the East Coast kissing bu--- er, pressing flesh at CPAC. If you want to see his speech, click here. The conservative love-fest will feature speeches from all the (current) 2016 GOP contenders, with Ted Cruz kicking it off and Sarah Palin wrapping it up. In between, the most anticipated speech is probably that of Chris Christie, the story reports. There's also a straw poll (Rand Paul won last year).
MAR 6 Here's some more new info on the continuing controversy at Louisiana College, this time posted on the Tennessean (so maybe this story is pretty interesting outside of Louisiana, too). The story, originally written by Town Talk reporters, tells us about a document with allegedly forged signatures which was sent to SACS, the organization which issues accreditation for southern universities and colleges. The plot thickens?
MAR 6 If you're on the Facebook, you've seen this video of two NOLA police officers line dancing with some Mardi Gras revelers. But this one is even better: it's a NOLA police horse line dancing on Bourbon Street. Hey -- this is Louisiana. We all can get down, if the situation calls for it.
MAR 6 In this week's post, Jim Brown is remembering former Gov. Jimmie Davis, who was sworn in 70 years ago this week. Included in here is the governor's recipe for raccoon, which was his favorite dish, Brown says. He also tells us who "Sunshine" was - Jimmie's palomino. She's buried at the late governor's farm, Brown says.
MAR 6 Columnist James Gill applies his special combination of wit and sarcasm to our friend Don Briggs in this post. Gill read the oil and gas leader's deposition and almost felt sorry for him -- almost. The problem seems to be related to Mr. Brigg's "stupendous ignorance of his purported area of expertise," Gill writes. He also credits Briggs with doing more for the environmental cause in a couple hours than tree-huggers can accomplish in years.

June 24, 2013 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- According to a new report, 76-percent of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck.
The survey found fewer than one in four Americans have enough money in their savings accounts to cover six-months of expenses in the case of a job loss or medical emergency.
Twenty-seven percent of Americans surveyed had no savings at all.

Market guide | Zillow predicts Mayfair home values will rise 0.8% next year, compared to a 2.2% increase for Philadelphia as a whole. Among Mayfair homes, this home is valued 25.6% more than the midpoint (median) home, and is valued 11.8% more per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the Mayfair market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold decreased 13.7% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 16.9% lower than in Philadelphia, and 0.6% lower than the national average. This lower local number could help Mayfair home values rise more quickly than other regions in Philadelphia. Learn more about forecast calculations or Mayfair home values.… MoreLess |

Market guide | Zillow predicts San Bernardino home values will increase 14% next year, compared to a 13.3% increase for Riverside Metro as a whole. Among San Bernardino homes, this home is valued 7.1% more than the midpoint (median) home, but is valued 1.5% less per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the San Bernardino market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold decreased 62.1% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 42.8% greater than in Riverside Metro, and 70.8% greater than the national average. This higher local number may prevent San Bernardino home values from rising as quickly as other regions in Riverside Metro.

Criminal Law
Civil Litigation
The reporting here doesn't explain his legal reasoning in full and that would have been helpful. Based on the little information above, the judge apparently ruled that a person texting a driver has no legal duty to refrain from texting while that driver operates a motor vehicle, which renders the rest of a tort analysis moot. A sensible ruling if you ask me because it puts the onus on the driver (where it should be) to operate their vehicle safely, which would include refraining from texting while operating a vehicle.
I never thought the lawsuit had a snowball chance in h* * * of going forward.
How is a person sending a text supposed to know the recipient is or will be driving when it is received?
Good point, query. But even if the person did send the text knowing the recipient was driving at the time didn't mean the author intended for the text to accessed and read immediately upon receipt. The sender has no duty for the behavior of the recipient. Period.
I don't know if NJ law offers anything like Rule 11 sanctions but if it does, this joker seems to be a perfect candidate for them.
The gist of the matter is responsibility. All responsibility resides with the driver. The Texting Crisis, Imminent Danger and a Third party Lawsuit

The censure this week of Rutgers School of Law at Camden has put a spotlight on the dreaded LSAT – the rite of passage for anyone who wants to attend law school.
The number of law school admission tests administered in October is down nearly 11% from the previous year, according to new data from the Law School Admission Council.
Inspired by Ernest Hemingway, a legal writing professor at Marquette University challenged her students to write a story in six words.
The job market for graduating law students may not be quite as alarming as feared, according to a new paper by a law professor.
Here's another wrinkle to add to the realm of terrorism law, which has been on our radar this week. As horrific as it was, the Boston Marathon bombing may not qualify as a terrorist attack for the purposes of insurance coverage.

Deadliest listeria outbreak in 25 years
WASHINGTON (AP) - An outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe is now linked to 23 deaths, making it the deadliest known outbreak of foodborne illness in the U.S. in more than 25 years.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday that 116 people have been sickened in the outbreak, including those who died. The number of deaths has now surpassed a 1998 outbreak of listeria in processed meats that was linked to 21 deaths. A 1985 listeria outbreak in Mexican-style soft cheeses killed 52 people.
The tainted Colorado cantaloupes should be off store shelves by now, as they were recalled mid-September and their shelf life is about two weeks. But the number of deaths may continue to grow, as the symptoms of listeria can take up to two months to appear.
The CDC on Wednesday confirmed two more deaths in Louisiana that the state had said it was investigating last week. Other deaths have been reported in Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming. Colorado and New Mexico reported five deaths each.
Jensen Farms in Holly, Colo., recalled the tainted cantaloupes earlier this month after they were linked to the listeria illnesses. The Food and Drug Administration, which is investigating the outbreak, has said state health officials found listeria in cantaloupes taken from Colorado grocery stores and from a victim's home that were grown at Jensen Farms. Matching strains of the disease were found on equipment and cantaloupe samples at Jensen Farms' packing facility in Granada, Colo.
The company has said it shipped the cantaloupes to about half the states, but added that it wasn't sure where the cantaloupes went because they have been sold and resold. Thus, many companies may not even know whether they bought or distributed the fruit.
The FDA is still investigating the cause of the outbreak. Officials have said they were looking at the farm's water supply and possible animal intrusions among other things to figure out the source of the problem. Listeria bacteria grow in moist, muddy conditions and often are carried by animals.
Government health officials said this was the first known outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe. Listeria generally is found in processed meats and unpasteurized milk and cheese, though there have been a growing number of outbreaks in produce.
Listeria is rare but more deadly than well-known pathogens such as salmonella and E. coli. While most healthy adults can consume listeria with no ill effects, it can kill the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. The CDC said the median age of those sickened is 78, and most ill people are over 60 years old.
It is also dangerous to pregnant women because it easily passes through to the fetus. CDC said it is also aware of one miscarriage associated with the outbreak.
Symptoms include fever and muscle aches, often with other gastrointestinal symptoms.
The CDC has reported illnesses in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Colorado has the most illnesses with 34, while Texas has reported 17, New Mexico 13 and Oklahoma 11.

FREEDOM : The Rake And The Recluse : Part One
Jenn LeBlanc
Dit boek is als download beschikbaar op uw Mac of iOS-apparaat met iBooks, en op uw computer met iTunes. Boeken kunnen worden gelezen met iBooks op uw Mac of iOS-apparaat.
A woman out of time.
A man stifled by propriety.
A nemesis determined to take her away.
A brother to the rescue.
How will a powerful Duke deal with a woman who doesn't know her place? How will a woman used to the 21st century survive in time where she is considered property?
THE RAKE AND THE RECLUSE Part one brings Francine to the world of the Duke of Roxleigh, clashing worlds in first installment of the completely revised novel, with all new material.
Francine Larrabee woke up on the wrong side of the century. She was fairly certain she went to sleep in her own comfy bed, but she doesn't quite seem to be there now. Only adding to her problems is that she has no voice, is constantly being glowered at by a large, stunning man who is obsessed with propriety, and she is apparently betrothed to another horrid little man, determined to ruin her, and any other girls that get in his way.
How does she find herself in the past, when she couldn't even find herself in her present? How does a self sufficient businesswoman survive in a time when women were still considered property for the whole of their lives and what is she going to do with this man who draws her to him so fiercely.

Christianity Portal |
The virgin birth of Jesus is the belief that Jesus was conceived in the womb of his mother Mary by the Holy Spirit and born while Mary was yet a virgin.[1] The New Testament references are Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 1:26-38. The virgin birth is not mentioned in the Pauline epistles, nor is it mentioned in the Gospels of Mark or John.
The virgin birth was universally accepted in the Christian church by the 2nd century, was enshrined in the Apostles' Creed, and, except for several minor sects, was not seriously challenged until the 18th century, and remains a basic article of belief in the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and most Protestant churches. Muslims also accept the virgin birth of Jesus.[2]
Mary's virginal conception of Jesus is sometimes confused[3] with the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary's Immaculate Conception, namely, her being conceived in the normal way but free from original sin.[4][5]
The virgin birth of Jesus is also distinct from the doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Mary, the belief that Mary remained a virgin for her entire life.[6]
According to standard Jewish custom of the time of Jesus, girls were betrothed around the age of twelve or twelve and a half.[7] During the betrothal period, which lasted about a year, the marriage was not consummated and the bride remained in her parent's house.[8] Betrothal was formalised by a contract regulating such matters as the transfer of property and provision for the wife and children should the husband die; voiding the contract required a divorce document freeing the girl to remarry.[9]

In Rest of the NT |
Portals: Christianity Bible |
The earliest Christian preaching about Jesus concerned his death and resurrection, and the early Church turned its attention to the chronology of the rest of the life of Jesus later.[10][11][12] Early Christians were hardly monolithic in their preachings, and the Nativity accounts of the gospels may have diverged as a result, but a comparison of the Nativity stories of Luke and Matthew show common elements in terms of the virgin birth, the birth at Bethlehem and the upbringing at Nazareth.[11][13]
The Pauline epistles, the earliest surviving Christian writings, refer to Jesus' mother without stating that she was a virgin. Instead Paul focuses on contrasting the birth of Jesus with the fall of Adam, and presents Jesus as the "firstborn of all creation", and a second Adam, in Colossians 1:15-16.[14][15][16]
Some[17] see the silence of Paul on virginity as implying that he knew of no account of the virgin birth of Jesus, while scholars such as Raymond Brown reject the "argument from silence" and state that Paul's letters were composed with a view to ecclesiastical problems with which he had to deal, not to give a narrative of the life of Jesus.
Raymond E. Brown states that given the multiple lines of reasoning, there are no convincing arguments to determine whether Paul knew of the virgin birth or not.[18] Brown writes that it is difficult to decide whether Paul's silence on the question of the virginal conception of Jesus is significant in any case.[18] Brown states that, even if the silence of Paul is taken to indicate ignorance of the virgin birth, it does not disprove it, for a family tradition about it could have circulated among relatively few in the years 30-60, before becoming known to the communities for whom Matthew and Luke wrote.[19] Other authors have noted that the silence of Paul is no indication, given the Pauline Epistles were not intended as chronologies and include very few details of the life of Jesus in general, and that even the Last Supper was only mentioned by Paul in response to problems in Corinth.[20]
Specific passages in Paul's letters include Galatians 4:4, usually translated as: "when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law". (The word translated as "born" literally means "having come to be",[21] and Young's Literal Translation gives the phrase as "come of a woman, come under law".) Some see this silence about a virgin birth as lack of knowledge of it, while others see the phrase "born of a woman, born under the law" as implying that Jesus had no human father.[22][23] The opening of the Epistle to the Romans (Romans 1:1-4) includes the words: "concerning his Son, who was descended from David (or who came from the offspring of David) according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord". Some, pointing out that the Greek word translated as "descendant" in some Bibles is sperma, which literally means "seed", and interpreting this as indicating descent through the male line,[24][25][26] take "descended from David according to the flesh" to mean that Joseph, a descendant of David, was the physical father of Jesus, thus denying the virgin birth of Jesus, others take it as indicating that Mary too was a descendant of David.[27][28][29][30] Others point out that here, as in Galatians 4:4, Paul does not use the ordinary word for "born" (γεννητός, gennetos, the word used in Matthew 11:11 in relation to John the Baptist being "born of a woman"), but the word γενόμενος, genomenos, literally meaning "become", "come to be",[31][32] a fact that some interpret as an allusion to incarnation of the pre-existent Son of God.[33][34]
The statement in Romans 8:3-4 that God sent his Son "in the likeness of sinful flesh" has been interpreted as meaning merely that Jesus was externally just like any other human being, supported by Paul's remark elsewhere that Christ "knew no sin".[2 Cor 5:21] Others suggest a contradiction between Paul's notion of being "in the likeness of sinful flesh" and his having been born of a virgin.
In 1Timothy 1:4, the author urges people not to "occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies which promote speculations...". Some scholars see this passage as reflecting a negative view of the developing virgin birth stories and their variant genealogies.[35]
The accounts of the birth of Jesus appear in only two of the four Canonical Gospels, the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of Matthew. Luke's story centers on Mary, while Matthew's story centers on Joseph, and in both gospel accounts (Luke 2:1-7 and Matthew 2:1) Jesus is conceived without a human father.[36][37][38]
While Luke's introduction does assert that its author has "carefully investigated everything",[Lk. 1:3] neither Luke nor Matthew attribute their birth narratives to the direct testimonies of either Mary or Joseph.[39] James Hastings and separately Thomas Neufeld have expressed the view that the circumstances of the birth of Jesus were deliberately kept restricted to a small group of early Christians, and were kept as a secret for many years after his death.[40][41] Ronald Brownrigg suggests that the narrative in Luke was obtained via a path from Mary, while the narrative in Matthew was obtained from a path on Joseph's side.[42]
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus,for he will save his people from their sins." 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23 "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
The Gospel of Matthew (c 80-85) begins with a genealogy leading from Abraham to Joseph, but then calls Joseph "the husband of Mary, of whom (Mary) was born Jesus, who is called Christ."[1:16] The Greek text, which has "ἐξ ἧς" (feminine singular), shows that the phrase "of whom" refers to Mary, not to Joseph or to Mary and Joseph together.[1:16] It then states that, when Mary was found to be pregnant, she had not lived with Joseph, to whom she was engaged,[1:18] and that he did not have marital relations with her before the child was born.[1:25]
Matthew then states: "That which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit",[1:20] in fulfillment of the prophecy of the prophet: "A virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."[Mt. 1:22-23] Scholars interpret "prophet" as a reference to Isaiah 7:14.[43] Some 5th- and 6th-century manuscripts read "Isaiah the prophet".[44]
The text of Isaiah in Hebrew, as given in both the Masoretic text and the Great Isaiah Scroll found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, uses the word עַלְמָה (almah), meaning an unmarried young woman of the age of puberty. David Strauss in The Life of Jesus, suggests that Isaiah was referring to events of his own time, and that the young woman in question may have been "perhaps the prophet's own wife".[45] The Encyclopedia Judaica calls the interpretation as referring to a virgin "a two-millennium misunderstanding of Isaiah 7:14", which "indicates nothing concerning the chastity of the woman in question".[46]
Matthew 1:22 ("Behold the virgin shall be with child") uses the Greek term παρθένος (parthenos), meaning a virgin, as in the Septuagint translation of Isaiah,[47] which "alters or refines" the meaning of the Hebrew word,[48] perhaps understanding, as Raymond Brown suggests, the Hebrew word עַלְמָה to mean "virgin" in this context.[47]
"26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, "Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!" 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end." 34 And Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, since I am a virgin?" 35 And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God." 38 And Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her."
The Nativity is a prominent element of the Gospel of Luke (c 85-90), and comprises over 10% of the text, being three times the length of the Nativity text in the Gospel of Matthew.[49] In Luke 1:30-35 Mary asks how she is to conceive and bear a son, since she is a virgin; and she is told it will happen by the power of God. Luke 3:23-38 gives a genealogy, different from that given by Matthew. Scholars differ on which of the two, Matthew or Luke, is the legal genealogy via Joseph, and which the physical descent via Mary.[50]
When the angel Gabriel tells Mary that she will bear a son conceived by the Holy Spirit,[Lk. 1:26-38] she responds with what is known as the Magnificat,[Lk. 1:46-55] a prayer of joy.[51]
Therefore, the Lord, of His own, shall give you a sign; behold, the young woman is with child, and she shall bear a son, and she shall call his name Immanuel. Cream and honey he shall eat when he knows to reject bad and choose good. For, when the lad does not yet know to reject bad and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread, shall be abandoned."
In this passage from the Book of Isaiah the prophet predicts to King Ahaz that a young woman will give birth to a son who will be called "Immanuel", meaning "God with us", and that Ahaz's enemies will be destroyed before this child learns the difference between good and evil, i.e., before he reaches maturity. The Hebrew word is "עלמה" (almah), which scholars agree means a young woman of child-bearing age, without any connotation of virginity, and the context of the passage makes it clear that Isaiah has in mind events in his and Ahaz's near future. The Greek-speaking author of Matthew, however, used the Greek translation of Isaiah, in which the word is given as "παρθένος", parthenos, meaning a virgin.[52]
The Qur'an says that Jesus was the result of a virgin birth. The most detailed account of the annunciation and birth of Jesus is provided in Sura 3 (Al Imran) and 19 (Maryam) wherein it is written that God sent an angel to announce that she could shortly expect to bear a son, despite being a virgin.[53]
The account in Sura 19 [Quran 19:1] of the Qur'an is close to that in the Gospel of Luke.[54] The Annunciation to Mary is mentioned twice in the Quran and in both instances Mary is told that she was chosen by God to deliver a son. In one case, the bearer of the news, who is believed to be archangel Gabriel, delivered the news in (3:42-47) as he takes the form of a man (19:16-22).[55][56] The details of the conception are not discussed but when Mary asks how she can bear a son in view of her chastity she is told that God creates what he wills and that these things are easy for God.[55] However, elsewhere the Quran states (21:91 and 66:12) that God breathed "His Spirit" into Mary while she was chaste.[55][56]
Although not specifically mentioned in the Quran, Muslims believe that Jesus and Mary were the only two children not to be touched by Satan at the moment of their birth, for God placed a veil between them and Satan.[57]
The modern scholarly consensus is that the doctrine of the virgin birth "rests on very slim historical foundations."[58] Some writers[59][60][61][62][63] take it as significant that two separate gospels attest to the virgin birth, although their details vary. In this view, the virgin conception and birth constitute a tradition that fits within the criterion of multiple attestation. The accounts of Matthew and Luke are taken as independent testimonies of the tradition.[64] The mutual independence of the two attestations is shown by the differences between the accounts of Matthew and Luke regarding Jesus' birth, to which scholars have drawn attention.[65][66]
According to Matthew, an unnamed angel informs Joseph of the virginal conception; in Luke the angel Gabriel informs Mary before the conception occurs. There are at least two rival explanations for the "double attestation" of Matthew and Luke regarding the virgin birth of Jesus:[67][68]
Among other hypotheses that have been proposed as explanations of the origin of the accounts in Matthew and Luke of the birth of Jesus from a virgin is that of Stephen L Harris, who proposed that these were written to answer Jewish slanders about Jesus' illegitimate birth,[70] of which there is evidence from the 2nd century, but which may have been a subsequent polemical Jewish response to the account in Matthew and Luke.[71] Helmut Köster sees the narratives of Jesus' virgin birth as having roots in Hellenistic mythology.[72]
Psilanthropists argue against the virgin birth and contend that Jesus was a "mere human".[73] Psilanthropism existed among early Jewish Christian groups such as Ebionites who considered Jesus the Messiah, but rejected Apostle Paul as an apostate.[74] [75] However, in the 4th century the Nicene Creed rejected the teaching that Jesus was a mere human.[76]
In the 2nd century, Celsus, a pagan anti-Christian Greek philosopher wrote that Jesus's father was a Roman soldier named Pantera. The views of Celsus drew responses from Origen who considered it a fabricated story.[77][78] Raymond E. Brown states that the story of Pantera is a fanciful explanation of the birth of Jesus which includes very little historical evidence.[79]
In the Middle Ages as part of the conflicts with Christians, a satirical parody of the Christian gospels called the Toledot Yeshu was written by the Jews, perhaps as a tool for warding off conversions to Christianity.[80] The book referred to the name Pantera, or Pandera as the father of Jesus, and also portrayed Judas Iscariot as a hero.[81][82][83] The book accuses Jesus of illegitimate birth as the son of Pandera, and of heretic and at times violent activities along with his followers during his ministry.[81][83] Robert E. Van Voorst states that the literary origins of Toledot Yeshu cannot be traced with any certainty, and its medieval composition without a fixed form, it is "most unlikely" to have reliable historical information.[84] The Blackwell Companion to Jesus states that the Toledot Yeshu has no historical facts as such, and was perhaps created as a tool for warding off conversions to Christianity.[85]
Historically notable psilanthropists have included figures such as the translator of the first Bible in Byelorussian, Symon Budny (who was excommunicated by the Polish Unitarians[86]), and Joseph Priestley and Samuel Taylor Coleridge in the 18th and 19th centuries.[87][88]
Modern psilanthropists include some members of the Unification Church. Although the church's textbook, the Divine Principle does not specifically mention the teaching that Zacharias was the father of Jesus, according to Ruth Tucker[89] some members of the church hold that belief[90][91] - which is based on the work of Leslie Weatherhead.[17]
Richard Dawkins dismisses the possibility of virgin birth from a biological perspective, as he generally dismisses all biblical miracles on grounds that they are unproven and unsubstantiated supernatural events.[92]
As part of the conflicts between Christians and other groups during the 1st and 2nd centuries, statements were made by both Jews and pagans that the Christian virgin birth narratives had been derived from pagan sources.[93][94] Early Christians such as Justin Martyr countered the argument about pagan connections to the virgin birth of Jesus.[95] In the 2nd century, Justin presented these arguments in The First Apology of Justin, and in Dialog with Trypho.[95] Justin argued at length against the pagan connection and noted that the word virgin does not even occur in the pagan sources.[96] He also addressed the Old Testament issues in his debates with a Jew called Trypho.[93]
Followers of Mithraism have proposed, from Persian sources, that Mithra might have been born of the union of Mother Earth and Ahuramazda, and that his story influenced both Christianity and Chinese mythology, where he became known as "The Friend".[97] Christian authors have argued that no historical basis for the connection to Christianity has been presented by the Mithraists.[98]
The early Christian document, the Ascension of Isaiah, which may date to the 2nd century, also has a narrative of the virgin birth of Jesus.[99] However, the date and origin of this document is questionable, given that the author disguised his identity behind Isaiah.[100] The narrative of the virgin birth of Jesus can be found also in other New Testament apocrypha, for instance the Protevangelium of James, perhaps written in the 2nd century.[101]
Parthenogenesis has been hypothesized as a possible biological mechanism for the virgin birth of Jesus.[102] But this hypothesis has received no general scholarly support.[103][104]
Christians celebrate the conception of Jesus on 25 March[105] (Lady Day) and his birth at Christmas (25 December) or Epiphany (6 January). Among the many traditions associated with Christmas are the construction of cribs and the performance of re-enactments of elements of the story in the Gospels of the birth of Jesus, a tradition started in the 13th century by the Franciscans.[106][107][108]
The festival of the Nativity which later turned into Christmas was a 4th-century feast in the Western Church notably in Rome and North Africa, although it is uncertain exactly where and when it was first celebrated.[109] There has been debate about the reason why Christians came to choose the 25 December date to celebrate the birth of Jesus. One theory is that they did so in order to oppose the existing winter-solstice feast of the Natalis Solis Invicti (Birthday of the Unconquered Sun) by celebrating on that date the birth of the "Sun of Righteousness".[110]
Another tradition derived the date of Christmas from that of the Annunciation, the virginal conception of Jesus.[110] Since this was supposed to have taken place on 14 Nisan in the Jewish calendar, calculated to have been either 25 March or 6 April, it was believed that the date of Christ's birth will have been nine months later.[111] A tractate falsely attributed to John Chrysostom argued that Jesus was conceived and crucified on the same day of the year and calculated this as 25 March, a computation also mentioned by Saint Augustine of Hippo.[110]
The Magnificat, based on Luke 1:46-55 is one of four well known Gospel canticles: the Benedictus and the Magnificat in the first chapter, and the Gloria in Excelsis and the Nunc dimittis in the second chapter of Luke, which are now an integral part of the Christian liturgical tradition.[51][112][113] The Magnificat is one of the eight most ancient Christian hymns and perhaps the earliest Marian hymn.[114][115] The Annunciation, representing the virgin birth, became an element of Marian devotions in Medieval times, and by the 13th century direct references to it were widespread in French lyrics.[116]
The Eastern Orthodox Church uses the title "Ever Virgin Mary" as a key element of its Marian veneration, and as part of the Akathists (hymns) to Mary which are an integral part of its liturgy.[117]
This doctrine of the Virgin Birth is often represented Christian art in terms of the annunciation to Mary by the Archangel Gabriel that she would conceive a child to be born the Son of God, and in Nativity scenes that include the figure of Salome. The Annunciation is one of the most frequently depicted scenes in Western art.[118] Annunciation scenes also amount to the most frequent appearances of Gabriel in medieval art.[119] The depiction of Joseph turning away in some Nativity scenes is a discreet reference to the fatherhood of the Holy Spirit, and the doctrine of Virgin Birth.[120]

The highlight of my week was receiving a care package from my mother containing Airborne, Thin Mints, and concealer to hide my dark circles (she really gets me). And because I love you guys a lot, I have an entire meal for you today!
Turns out it's the year of the horse, which is my Chinese zodiac, so it was basically like my birthday party. Confetti was blasted on the roof.
Yes, there is a recipe in here that has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that I found myself with too much Japanese eggplant one day.
It's freezing. I'm freezing, and I know you probably are too – unless you live in a magic warm state in which case, JEALOUS.
"I'm going to brush the dust off my sneakers and take up boxing. I'm vowing to take more walks and eat more cake. It's gonna be a good year."
Hi Straddlers! Semi-short post today since I am writing from the confines of my bed where I am suffering from winter illnesses of sorts. I've been without a voice for 24 hours but I don't mind because I've got that Scarlett Johansson raspy sound going on, only phlegmier. Hope I'm not making you lose your […]
Friendsgiving Menu, Christmas tree shopping, a trip to Ann Arbor and the most beautiful pumpkin steamed buns.
Eight delicious condiments you need to buy now, my mommy's chimichurri, and you have to trust me about these cookies.

"We happened to arrive just in time for the block party, which obviously included a children's dance group dressed like skeletons dancing to "Thriller" AND some aerial dancers swinging from a crane. Are your block parties like that?"
"My goal is to use all the apples I picked without making 10 jars of jam as a cop-out. I think I've done pretty well so far."
The weather needs to get better because I have made a fall to do list that must be accomplished.
Now that it's seasonally appropriate (by my terms) to talk about autumnal things, I'm going to talk your ears off about my almost favorite season!
"I had a dinner party at my new apartment the other night. By 'dinner party' I mean my girlfriend and my cousin came over and I made them scallion pancakes."

Treat yourself the way you treat your favorite characters. Look into your back-story to understand your current plot. Sympathize with yourself. Recognize your flaws, and appreciate your strengths. Defend yourself. Cheer yourself on when you go into battle. Appreciate every relationship you make and always look for hidden potential. You're the protagonist in your story. You're the main character. You're the hero.
Treat yourself like one.
