How regulation affects network and service quality in related markets
AbstractWe analyze how network regulation affects investment into network infrastructure and complementary services. While regulation negatively affcets investment incentives in the regulated network market, the effects of network regulation on investment in complementary services can be either negative or positive, depending on the relative weight consumers assign to infrastructure versus service quality. We also find constellations, where regulation can enhance perceived total quality. --

|Yorvit Torrealba comes through for Colorado Rockies at the plate and behind it
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 14 October 2007 21:10
If he contributes at the plate as well, that's just fine, too.
Torrealba hit a two-out, three-run homer in the sixth inning to break open the game as the Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-1 in Game 3 of the NL championship series on Sunday night to move within a game of sweeping the series.
After homering off Arizona starter and good friend Livan Hernandez in the sixth inning, Torrealba's exuberance was on display. He pumped his fist in the air as he rounded first base and was mobbed by teammates near the dugout.
The crowd cheered loudly for Torrealba and didn't quiet down until he popped his head out of the dugout for a curtain call. Torrealba's homer was his first of the postseason.
``I was so happy,'' he said. ``I was thinking, 'Is this real?'''
It was.
And with his homer, Torrealba adds his name to the growing list of unlikely heroes to contribute to the Rockies' success.
Torrealba also had a clutch home run against San Diego's Jake Peavy to help the Rockies beat the Padres in the 163rd game to reach postseason play.
``It sure seems like in the big games he's able to step up and perform,'' outfielder Matt Holliday said.
Torrealba also had a double Sunday night and is 8-for-21 so far in the postseason. He may be the least-known name in the Rockies' lineup, but he's leading the team in playoff hits.
Not that Colorado's pitchers care about how he hits.
``We as a pitching staff love that guy,'' reliever Matt Herges said. ``He's a thinker. He could go 0-for-20 behind the plate and it wouldn't even matter.''
Torrealba realizes his primary role is to settle down the pitching staff in times of crisis.
And he's good at it. He'll jog out and say a comforting word to a pitcher on the mound or just simply motion to a pitcher that he is dipping his shoulder too much.
His Rockies have a 1.77 ERA through six postseason games.
``He's on the same page with all of us,'' reliever Ryan Speier said. ``You just trust whatever he calls. He's great back there.''
Josh Fogg said Torrealba is always quick with a joke or a witty remark.
``He'll come out and tell you that you made a bad pitch and you got lucky,'' said Fogg, who went six innings, giving up seven hits, to earn the win Sunday night. ``You love having him back there. You just take his ribbing when he gives it to you.''
Torrealba's homer came at the expense of Hernandez, his good friend from their days together in San Francisco.
Hernandez knew better than to throw an inside fastball.
``It was the last pitch I wanted to throw,'' Hernandez said.
But Hernandez was out of options. He threw everything he could think of to Torrealba during the at-bat, including a slow curve that registered 60 mph on the radar gun. Torrealba patiently waited for a pitch he could hit and then drove a 3-2 fastball into the left-field bleachers.
``It was kind of crazy,'' Torrealba said. ``He left it down the middle and I just reacted to it.''
Torrealba, who usually bats eighth in the order, hit .255 in the regular season with eight homers and 47 RBIs.
Yet no matter what he does at the plate, he'll be known more for what he does behind it.
``I've had a lot of wonderful catchers, but Torre ranks up there,'' Herges said. ``He's such a calming influence. I love to see him back there.''

"California of the Past" Digital
Storytelling Program.
In 2007, "California of
the Past" was developed as a project for libraries and
local non-profits to gather stories of California's
past, immigration stories, World War II memories, farm
tales, tribal heritage, and sage advice from citizens
over 100 years old. By 2009, over 30 libraries across
the state of California had joined the program combining
emerging technology, community partnerships and local
history to create hundreds of digital stories and hold
dozens of community presentations.
Calabasas was chosen as a
host site to collect stories for the "California of the
Past" program. Residents are encouraged to share their
stories of coming to Calabasas or California, their days
in school, stories of neighborhoods from the past, tales
of local historic events, family stories and any other
information that contributes to the spirit of the
project. The stories will be reviewed before being
recorded, to keep them focused and concise. The footage,
along with any photos that may apply, will be edited by
the Calabasas
Media Operations Department
into a short 2-5 minute story video. The final videos
will be available to check out at the library, a copy
made for the storyteller, and uploaded to the Calabasas
Digital Stories page
Residents interested in
sharing their stories can make an appointment by
contacting Arvin Petros at (818) 224-1631 and

RIO DE JANEIRO - At times, the light heavyweight bout between Glover Teixeira and Fabio Maldonado resembled the brutality of an old-school vale tudo fight, and in the birthplace of MMA no less.
But eventually, the violence Teixeira visited on Maldonado prompted the referee to intercede in the interest of mercy, giving prospect Teixeira his hardest-fought win in the octagon.

Would you like to pay for your morning coffee with your credit card or your bitcoin wallet?
If San Francisco-based start-up Shift Payments has its way, you'll soon be able to switch from real money to digital currency when paying with a single card.
The company is beta testing 100 cards with friends and family members. It allows users to make purchases with accounts from Coinbase—a bitcoin exchange—and Ripple—a digital payment exchange protocol that can support real and digital currency.
While the card does not currently access bank or credit accounts (just bitcoin accounts for now), co-founder Meg Nakamura says Shift Payments is trying to make that happen soon.
"We are having conversations with U.S. banks to see if we can get them comfortable," she said. "They are very, very interested. It's just a timing issue. So we are building out the product with the partners we have right now."

NYC rated 'rudest city' by Travel & Leisure
New York City nets a lot of titles — biggest city, busiest city, even loudest city — but, according to Travel & Leisure magazine, it is also the rudest city.
The Big Apple makes the list for its tough-talking, bird-flipping citizens. In fact, it was also ranked "rudest" in 2009. Apparently, we softened up for a couple years, but now we're back, ruder than ever and loving every minute of it!
Sure, NYC has plenty of drivers who wouldn't dare slow down for even the most fragile of old ladies. There are also plenty of entitled pedestrians who are simply above traffic signals. And yeah, so maybe no one says "excuse me" or "thank you," but come on — we're in a hurry here!
We have a hard time believing NYC is any ruder than say, Paris — but maybe it's just Americans they hate over there, and here we just hate all tourists, so there is that to consider.
But to be fair, NYC was also ranked first for diversity and theater by Travel & Leisure. And while "rudest" isn't necessarily one of our best features, dammit, it's part of what makes this city so great. You got a problem with that?

A perfect island vacation!
I fell in love with the house. And that is why I stayed four whole weeks!!! It is tastefully furnished, very comfortable, clean and well-maintained. All rooms have screens and ceiling fans. There is always a nice natural cooling. In the evenings I watched a movie from the huge in-house dvd selection, choose a book from the book library or checked my e-mails on wifi. This was great ! Every morning I stepped out of my room and enjoyed the breathtaking ocean view from the elevated wrap-around porch. Beeing Swiss living in the mountains I am not used to be at ocean - I loved it tremendously! The colours of the turquoise waters are just amazing! Every day I walked the powder white secluded beach. The warm cristallclear water out front is great for swimming, snorkeling or enjoying a drink and reading a book in the shade of the gazebo. I also rode the bike in the cool early morning breeze on the gravel road off the main street. As a hobby gardener I also loved beeing in the lush, tropical garden.The exotic greenery wih over 40 palm trees (!) is beautiful and makes it a perfect island vacation! During my stay I could be part of the owners planting fruit trees and sowing veggies. I felt very comfortable, the owners were extremely helpful and accomodating. They helped me make car arrangements and gave me a lot of tips what to do and what to see on the isand. As a coffee-lover I drank the best island espresso (!) from Rosanna in "Under the Sun" in a real espresso cup. I went back several times. Also I enjoyed the best conch salad ever and crack conch at "Max´s Conch Bar" in Deadman´s Cay. This is a must! I really can recommend this property to anymore! It is also ideal for families and honeymooners! Ocean Breeze is the perfect island getaway!
May 2-16, 2014
What a great place! My husband and I had a lovely, restful vacation in this perfectly appointed and comfortable home. My first inclination was to tell no one, as in " call a place paradise and kiss it goodbye" but this lovely house on it's gorgeous beach , near the picturesque town of Clarence Town, Long Island, will live in our memories forever .
We had a wonderful time in this house. Everythins ist really nice and comfortable. We selpt well in Kingsize Beds with AC and total clamness. We used the kitchen and the grill an really enjoyed the time. Very nice and helpful neighbors are near too. I love to go again.

Even though nearly three years have passed since the storms of April 27, 2011, volunteers are still pouring into Tuscaloosa to help. Habitat for Humanity of Tuscaloosa says they've had dozens of volunteers come from all over the country in just the past few weeks, working over their Spring Breaks. The groups include college students and other adults.Many of the volunteers are experienced in disaster relief, and know the recovery process continues years after the initial disaster. Maryland volunteer Chuck Hawley has taken nearly 20 disaster relief trips with his Habitat group. He said it can be a year before first responders and professionals have the area ready for volunteers to start building houses. "That's a hard thing for people to understand, that you can't rush right in and start doing stuff," Hawley said.Hawley's work has included several trips to Tuscaloosa, and he likes to follow up with the Habitat families. "Every time we come back we try to meet up with those families, too, that we've worked on their houses and say, 'Hi.'" This week, college students from Illinois and Missouri are working in Tuscaloosa. They also say they enjoy getting to know the homeowners who will live in the houses. "Getting to know her, and see how grateful and thankful she was that we were here, helping her...I mean, all we did was paint her shed, but she was so thankful," University of Missouri student Hannah Lager said.Lager said she's taken a Spring Break vacation before, so she's happy to spend this time working. "I chose to do this trip with all my friends because it's something great to do, and I can spend my time helping others instead of enjoying myself, which I do everyday. I don't get the chance to do this everyday."The tornado recovery area is not the only place where volunteers are working on Habitat houses. Homes are also under construction in West Tuscaloosa.Copyright 2014 WBRC. All rights reserved.

|Barber back for Cowboys, Jacobs out for Giants
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 14 December 2008 14:26
Barber didn't travel last week to Pittsburgh because of a dislocated right pinkie toe and was limited in practice throughout the week. He looked as though he was moving OK while taking handoffs and short passes in pregame warmups.
Jacobs, the hard-running 264-pounder who leads the Giants with 1,002 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns, didn't practice after he aggravated his injured left knee in last week's loss to Philadelphia. Derrick Ward replaced Jacobs as the starter.
Also out for the Giants were starting defensive tackle Fred Robbins because of a shoulder injury, and backup rookie linebacker Jonathan Goff (hamstring), who sat out for a third straight week.
missed practice Wednesday and Thursday and had been listed as questionable.
The Cowboys were without Montrae Holland (ankle), who had started the last two games after replacing Kyle Kosier in the starting lineup. Cornerback Adam ``Pacman'' Jones was out because of a herniated disk in his neck, sustained last week after his muffed punt in the first quarter, though he finished that game.
Rookie cornerback Mike Jenkins was back from a hamstring problem after missing Dallas' last two games.

Christian Right Places Marriage Institition Above Love
Why do Christians who claim to be for peace love and understanding as practiced by the man they claim to follow, Jesus Christ. However, when looking at the details we discover that Jesus Christ in his actions and lifestyle was more like a homelss anarchist than a wealthy televangelist preaching "prosperity gospel".
Christians from the right wing perspective place a great deal of emphasis on the institution of marriage between a man and a woman. They spend a great deal of energy attacking the homosexuals for wanting to get married. Then someone who may be in love with a Christian is expected to suffer in isolation because their faith requires the institution of marriage to validate their love, no matter how strong it is. If someone is wounded emotionally that is not the concern of these Christians, provided that the lovers are not "living in sin".
As someone with personal experience in mental institutions, the thought of forced marriage into a religion i don't believe sounds like a trip back to psych central. Yes, we also fall in love with Christians despite all logical warnings and we are capable of experiencing genuine emotional pain after being dumped for another who is able to get married. Our pain and suffering is ignored by these so-called Christians who are more concerned with their public appearance than the feelings of the less fortunate.
We do not like to level the term "hypocrite" with a broad brush against all Christians, as there are a few good ones out there. However, the right wing version of Christianity that preaches hatred against homosexuality and marriage uber alles is destined for a rude awakening. We will no longer tolerate hateful Christianity to contaminate the teachings of Jesus Christ the Anarchist (NOT ANTI-Christ, as there are plenty of these preaching from the evangelical pulpits).
Jesus Christ the Anarchist is coming soon to turn the Christian church upside down on it's head and shake out all the hypocrites, liars and hateful bigots that cloud the name of the righteous truth warrior Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ was the original anarchist who died trying to overthrow the tyranny of the Roman Empire that occupied his home by claiming to be divine (metaphysics?). Today the Christian Anarchist tries to overthrow the U.S. Empire and their unlimited overseas military occupations using direct action and activism. Martyrs like Rachel Corrie and Brad Will have died trying to accomplish this task, though they were not claiming to be Christians, as anarchist activists they sacrificed their lives to the same end; justice against tyranny.
Authority redefined: Christ Calls for Anarchy
In Matthew 23 Jesus utters probably the most profoundly offensive rebuke against a group of people than that of the entire New Testament. An entire chapter is devoted to this sharp judgment against the pharisaical religious authority system. In verse 8 he says: "But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your [Leader], and you are all brothers …Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. (NASB)"
What a radical thought! Essentially Jesus said "You are all brothers and you have no leadership authority over you except for me!" If taken literally, almost 100% of our current Christian congregations are disobeying this command! Let us attempt to see what Jesus was teaching about leadership by looking at another passage. Matthew 20:25-26 says "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you!" Here Jesus is issuing another painful attack on authority. The most honest interpretation of the passage (both from the words used and the grammatical structure of the Greek) is that Jesus is not only condemning the misuse of evil authority here but simply the act of "exercising authority over" people! So what is the answer? In Matthew 5 Jesus seems to demand recognition of all authority, and here he openly condemns the use of authority! Jesus provides the answer in the verse directly following his statement in Matthew chapter 20. It all has to do with our understanding of submission.
To the Christian right; try to stop being hypocrites. Nobody is claiming perfection, even Christian anarchists admit they are sometimes hypocrites. At least we can admit to our failings, while the Christian right seems to feel that they are beyond error.
Christians are hypocrites
Christians, they love to talk about how loving, dutiful and compassionate they are, yet I have yet to meet ONE who does not practice hypocrisy to the highest degree. Their willful ignorance of the Bible combined with their two faced idealism to preach it, has made us sick, hasn't it? For nearly two thousand years Biblicists have been lecturing people on the importance of adhering to the Bible's teachings on ethics, manners, and morality. They quote Jesus and Paul profusely, with a liberal sprinkling of Old Testament moralism. The problem with their approach lies not only in an oft- noted failure to practice what they preach, but an equally pronounced tendency to ignore what the Bible itself, preaches. Christians practice what can only be described as "selective morality". What they like, they cling to and shove down other's throats; what they don't like, they ignore vehemently. That which is palatable and acceptable is supposedly applicable to all; while that which is obnoxious, inconvenient, or self-denying is only applicable to those addressed 2,000 years ago. Their hypocrisy is so rampant that even the validity of calling oneself "Christian" is in question. I see so many people enjoy quoting the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, and some of Paul's sermons, but don't even PRETEND to heed other, equally valid, maxims. I've mentioned pro-life and conservatism in other sermons. This one is going to sum up the rest of my beefs.
Hypocrisy of Marital Relationships: So many Christians try to rationalize this but it is clear that a true follower of Jesus can neither divorce someone nor marry someone who is divorced. There is an exception to the rule, however. If spouse commits adultery, divorce is permissible. On the same token, the Bible also says that anyone who obtains a divorce and marries another is in adulterer. Remember that 80% of this country is Christian yet we have a 50% divorce rate. A majority of divorces are a result of irreconcilable differences, not adultery, which implies that Christians are again practicing selective morality. How many Christians are working on a second, third or fourth marriage?
1) "So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder" (Matthew 19:6 & Mark 10:9).
2) "Whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery" (Matthew 5:32, 19:9 & Luke 16:18).
3) "Whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery" (Matthew 5:32).
4) "...whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her" (Mark 10:11 & Luke 16:18), which applies to women as well (Mark 10:12).
On to another beef: The Christian attempts to put prayer into schools run directly counter to biblical teachings. Jesus said prayer should be a private affair devoid of public display: "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room (or closet.) and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret..." (Matthew 6:5-6 RSV). Biblicists violate this on a regular basis and have no intention of correcting their behavior. They demand that evolution be taken out of the curriculum. They demand parochial school receive voucher programs so that they may collect public funding. Christians continuously pray in public, IE: churches, street corners, schools, courts, etc. yet all the while they never stop to think this is in direct violation to the god they pray to.
I, of course, know why this is voluntarily ignored. Public prayer forces the peers of school children to jump on the band wagon and pray. We are all aware that the church is simply a business which employs tactics similar to that of tobacco industries in recruiting consumers. Get the kids while they are young and vulnerable so that they become donating members of the church when they reach adulthood. I find it humorous that other businesses warn their consumers on the package that it is dangerous to one's health while Churches don't put warning labels on the bible for the pornography and immorality it contains. The psychological damage organized religion causes is notably prevalent. Cancer from smoking and cirrhosis from drinking is JUST AS HARMFUL as the psychosis believers develop concerning reality. The "I see demons" complex is more rampant in Christians then it is in acid dropping space cadets. I am not saying this as a joke. There are literal studies done on this topic and they are in accordance to what I am conveying here.
Christians always use the excuse that the above mentioned verse is some how "metaphorical" yet they take Paul's maxim that men should pray with their heads uncovered very seriously. I assume this is generally followed because removing one's hat isn't particularly inconvenient. "Any man who prays or prophecies with his head covered dishonors his head…" (1 Corinthians 11:4 RSV). On the other hand, Paul's tenet that women must keep their heads covered with a veil during prayer is quite inconvenient and, for this reason, has either been rationalized away or ignored, although it is no less binding than any other moral law in the New Testament: "…but any woman who prays or prophecies with her head unveiled dishonors her head… For if a woman will not veil herself, then we should cut off her hair: but if it be disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil… Judge for yourself; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with head uncovered?" (1 Corinthians 11:5-13 RSV) The selectivity in which these verses are followed SCREAMS hypocrisy.
More Commonly Ignored Teachings:
1) "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?" (l Corinthians 11:14). How many freaked out long-haired, bible thumping Jesus freaks do you know? Perhaps this is just my experience, but I can name 12 such individuals off the top of my head. Surely, you can recall at least ONE LONG-HAIRED CHRISTIAN. The stereotypical version of CHRIST HIMSELF! Think of the numerous statues and pictures Christians adore depicting the lord appearing as that which he detests. One can not stop and wonder at the absurdity of this.
2) Another tenet clearly prohibits women from being ministers or otherwise speaking in church ("Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak"-- 1 Corinthians 14:34). It's difficult to see how Paul could support the current movement to ordain women. Why, Jesus would shit himself knowing that even I, an ATHEIST WOMAN, has managed to get herself legally ordained.
3) A third tenet prohibits men and women from wearing each other's clothing ("The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God"--Deuteronomy 22:5). Funny thing, two female Jehovah Witnesses came over this morning, they coffee clutched with my neighbor Jenny, a fellow Christian and ALL THREE of these women were wearing pant suits!
4) Ever watch these Christians on television and notice how their bowed heads uniformly shake amen while some evangelist goes on and on in prayer for a fucking hour? Well, repetitious and monotonous praying is in violation of Matthew 6:7. "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."
5) Christians are not supposed to take their disputes before non-Christian courts or judges. ("If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints?" -- 1 Corinthians 6:1 NIV) How interesting! Considering that state is separate from church all courts are supposedly "ungodly". Does this stop Christians from tying up the supreme court with law suits concerning school prayer, abortion, or numerous other absurdities? Hell no it doesn't, and my taxes are paying the fucking bill for their hypocrisy!
6) Christian women are supposed to dress discreetly ("...that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire"--l Timothy 2:9 RSV; and "Let not yours be the outward adorning of braiding of hair, decoration of gold, and wearing of fine clothing"-- 1 Peter 3 :3). Violations of these rules are too numerous to mention. Just visualize Tammy Faye Baker's mascara laden eyes and gold encrusted wrists.
7) Here is perhaps the mother of verses ignored: "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (Matthew 7:1) and "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged, condemn not and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven" (Luke 6:37). I have yet to meet a Christian who has not judged my atheism. The whole world is chalk full of judges, juries, voters, employers, teachers, etc. which are all constantly judging others.
8) Believers are supposed to hate their parents when they follow Jesus ("If any man come to me, and not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sister, yet, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple" (Luke 14:26). Well, considering that Christians do not abandon their families but usually attempt to brainwash them they are all guilty of not following this verse. "It's symbolic", yeah, I know your lame ass defense to this one already.
9) They are not to oppose evil ("But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also"-- Matthew 5:39). If this were followed one might just as well abolish law enforcement.
10) Biblicists are not allowed to call anyone "father" ("And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven" (Matthew 23:9). Not only is this rule ignored on a DAILY BASIS, but Catholicism uses "father" as a specific title.
11) Christians are not supposed to plan or prepare. God will provide ("Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or that ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on... Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, not gather into barns; yet your heavenly father feedth them. Are ye not much better than they?" --Matthew 6:25-34 & Luke 12:22-31 inclusive). I see Christian conservatives plot on a daily basis how to screw their employees so they can reap more profits.
12) Lastly, Jesus, who clearly is of greater importance than Paul, said the Old Law was to remain in force until heaven and earth passed away and all is accomplished ("For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven"-Matthew 5:18-19 RSV). Heaven and earth still exist and many prophecies are not yet fulfilled. How many times have you heard some lame ass Christian say "the Old testament doesn't matter, Jesus was the lamb and abolished it"? Don't let them get away with this shit for even the bible says that they should still be following the Old Law.
This verse leads me into an observation of how clear their selective morality can be exposed. Take for instance how Biblicists approach the Old Testament. They leap in and out of the Old Law like a porpoise in a ship's wake. If they like it, they quote it; if they don't, they won't. Among the scores of verses they enjoy and employ are those which teach the following:
13) Contact with mediums or wizards is forbidden ("Do not turn to mediums or wizards; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God"-- Leviticus 19:3 1 RSV, see also: Leviticus 20:6 & Deuteronomy 18: 10-12). Here's an interesting little stat; Christians more then any other faith consult mystics and self-proclaimed oracles.
14) People should give one-tenth of their income to the Lord, which Biblicists equate with church ("And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's...And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord"--Leviticus 27:30-32)
15) Tattoos are anathema: ("You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you. I am the Lord"--Leviticus 19:28) Despite this teaching I manage to see Mexican Catholics daily with tattoos of the Virgin Mary, Jesus or a set of praying hands on their forearms and shoulder blades.
16) Money cannot be lent at interest to your brother, only to foreigners (Deuteronomy 23: 19-20) Ahhh, I'm recalling all the Christian banking corporations....
17) Eating pork is forbidden (Deuteronomy 14:8). Hmm, I've never met a Christian who DIDN'T enjoy bacon and eggs.
18) A man must marry and have relations with his dead brother's wife (Deuteronomy 25:5-6). This goes without explaining of course.
19) A seducer must marry an unengaged virgin whom he seduces (Exodus 22:16-17)
20) A raped, unengaged virgin must marry her rapist and they can never divorce (Deuteronomy 22:28-29). What justice the "moral majority" advocates!
21) There are several petty and silly little verses in the O.T., but none the less, they are to be followed. I guess it's okay to disobey the lord for fashion's sake. Beards can't be rounded (Leviticus 19:27); A garment composed of wool and linen can't be worn (Deuteronomy 22:11); Note: this explains why you will commonly see orthodox Jews with the long beards and black clothing. I say Christians should do this too so we can identify their stupidity upon first impression.
22) Bastards can't enter the Lord's congregation. (Deuteronomy 23:2) Hey, I know this is harsh, but God commands it, hence it must be "just".
All of these rules are part of the Old Covenant and of equal import. Why quote the Ten Commandments and ignore other tenets? A believer's obligation to one is no less than his obligation to all. In fact, if under the New Covenant Christians have stepped into the shoes of the Israelites and become, in effect, the new Chosen People, then they should inherit all the privileges and duties of that office. They seem to want the former but not the latter. Biblicists teach, preach, and attempt to reach others with moralism, but are not averse to selectively using that which suits their interests.
I'd like to close this essay with how to catch a Christian in the act. When you see them expounding a verse and ignoring another, call them on it. I know what you'll hear. They'll say, "that's from the Old Law and we aren't under the Old Law anymore". Trip them with this: "But aren't the Ten Commandments part of the Old Law?" "Yes, but we are obligated to follow them because they are reported in the NT" (Matthew 19:16-18, Mark 10:17-19 & Luke 18:18-22). Immediately point out to them that Jesus omitted half of the Ten Commandments and invented a new one, "though shall not defraud" ! Before they can get a word in edge wise finish them off with: "According to scripture it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of law to fail" (Luke 16:17 & Matthew 5:18-19). If sin is transgression of the law, as 1 John 3:4 says, then you should be following all of the Old Law. This, from experience, is the best way to shoot down these idiots and bar them from getting away with their hypocrisy.
Reach out and touch faith!
It is misleading to claim that Jesus himself caused the collapse of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire had overextended themselves with too many military occupations and pissed off too many tribal people. What began with Jesus protesting the Roman occupation of Judea continued as other neighboring tribes dealt with the hypocrisy and deception of the Roman Empire.
It was the Visogoths under Alaric's military leadership that brought about the destruction and collapse of the Roman Empire. Maybe some foreign policy lessons for the U.S. and some historical legitimacy to the concept of "non-interventionism"?
Or the barbarians could come to the gates in DC also!!
The Greatest Invasion sweeps across Gaul;
the Visigoths burn Rome
One question is whether it was now too late to save the empire with a revolutionary political strategy -- not a good question. Revolutions don't come from the powers that be; they come from below. A new political strategy that included arming the empire's conquered peoples and those peoples fighting for and defending the empire's central authority was not to be. The Roman Empire was to continue as an empire. Empires are by nature authoritarian, and empires are destined to break apart.
Around 395, bands of Huns invaded Armenia, and they moved into Syria and Cappadocia, where they plundered and killed. The Huns pushed against eastern Germans: Vandals, Suebi (or Suevi) and Burgundians. These Germans crossed the Danube River in great numbers, into the Roman province of Pannonia, and the Roman population there fled westward. The empire was further challenged in 399 when Alaric and his army of Visigoth warriors and civilians moved across the Alps and into Italy. In 402 and 403, a Roman army led by Flavius Stilicho drove Alaric and the Visigoths back to Illyricum.
In 408, the emperor in the eastern half of the empire, Arcadius, suddenly died and was replaced by his year-old son, Theodosius II. Stupidity would now make matters worse for the empire. In the west, an aide to Honorius who was hostile to Stilicho warned Honorius that Stilicho was preparing to put his own son on the eastern throne and was usurping powers that belonged to him, Honorius. The moronic Honorius believed the aide. The aide organized a coup against Stilicho and his supporters, who included the best military officers in the empire. These officers were largely Germans, like Stilicho. Inspired in part by hostility against Germans, Stilicho's supporters were massacred, as were the families of German soldiers serving as auxiliaries to the Roman army in the western empire. Those still alive and attached to Stilicho called on him to rally his supporters and fight back. Instead, Stilicho went to the emperor's court at Ravenna without his bodyguard to meet Honorius. Stilicho was taken prisoner, charged with treason, and without a trial he and his son were executed. The last of the great Roman military commanders was dead, and thirty thousand or so German soldiers fled from Rome's army and joined Alaric and the Visigoths.
Encouraged by the death of Stilicho, in the autumn of 408, Alaric and the Visigoths crossed the Alps and poured into Italy, to Ravenna. After failing to break through Ravenna's walls, Alaric decided to push on to North Africa, believing that grain grew there in great abundance, and he decided that on his way he would attack Rome to gain what he could.
Rome shut its gates as Alaric and his army approached. Alaric and his army besieged the city, and its inhabitants grew hungry. Plague appeared within Rome, and corpses appeared in its streets. Rome's Senate decided to negotiate with Alaric and suggested it was not afraid of a fight. Alaric laughed and demanded gold, silver, moveable property and some three thousand pounds of Indian pepper in exchange for sparing the city and its inhabitants. Alaric gave Germans and slaves in the city safe passage out, some of whom joined his ranks, increasing Alaric's forces to about 40,000.
For more than a year Alaric kept Rome surrounded while waiting for his ransom. Then in August, 410, with assistance from within, his troops slipped into the city. For three days they looted and destroyed the houses of the rich. They killed some people, but being Christians they spared the Christian churches. Then Alaric and the Visigoths left for southern Italy, hoping to cross the Mediterranean Sea to North Africa.
News of the fall of the city of Rome left many across the empire believing that the end of civilization was at hand. In Palestine, the Christian scholar Jerome lamented that in the ruins of Rome the whole world had perished. Many Christians had believed that Rome would last until Armageddon, and when no Armageddon came they were bewildered.
In Rome, pagan survivors saw the sack of their city as the work of Rome's old gods -- those gods whose power had made Rome the most powerful of cities. They blamed the Christians for angering these gods. Hoping to appease their gods, some pagans called for performance of the sacred rites of the past, and the Christian authorities in Rome, wishing help from any source, approved such rites. But, distrusting the Christian authorities, none of the pagans had the courage to attempt their rites in public, where it was thought they had to be performed if they were to be effective.
Jesus Christ was not a homeless anarchist. He just wanted us to understand than the earthly things do not matter. What matter is what God`s planning for us in heaven.

ok ok, we need to find a spider monkey to ride Monifa, then team them up with Maru – that is one unstoppable superhero outfit and no mistake.
for as we all know, criminals are powerless against cute.
First a tiny horse, and now a tiny river horse. Awwww.
No box? No bubblewrap? no yakkity sax?
OMG, little wiggly ears!
I got some shots of the baby pygmy hippo at Tampa's Lowry Park zoo. Adorable.
goddammit, #2 mdh beat me to Yakety Sax.
And wow, is this ever cute stuff.
But… but… that lady shouldn't be able to lift the hippo! Hippos are heavy!
Hehe. Cute.
Kinda reminds me of house hippo PSA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBfi8OEz0rA
no yakkity sax?
I have a better musical suggestion.
So adorkable!
hah! now THIS is cute!:
You'd better hope that there are no vegetarians reading this.
Where's mama pygmy hippo?
rhino is ALMOST a hippo
Let me know when I can see a cloned baby triceratops like in Jurassic Park.
The baby from Eraserhead is all grew up.
#8 – you beat me to it…
surprisingly cute for soemthing that would kill you as soon as look at you when it grows up.
@Antinous – Did I see what u did there? and what cuteoverload did there too?
Could you (and cute overload) possibly be pointing out that Boing Boing has echoed stories from Cute Overload twice this week? (and days after they ran there I might add) Not that I have anything against cute things… I just like some variety in my blogs.
I think Antinous' point was that the bunny picture has "Boing Boing" in it, and that this blog….is called Boing Boing. I believe his infringement comment was tongue in cheek.
Antinous, correct me if I am off base :)
I want a baby pygmy hippo of my very own!
Daemon, the adults are a bit smaller than an adult domestic hog. But it is big enough to put a hurt on you in close quarters, if it's mad. However, unlike a river hippo, it probably not bit you in two.
The normal sized hippos are one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.
@Homingpigen – duh. I was getting "deeper" though with my seeing what was "did there."
Though, I will admit my mistake of thinking that that boinging bunny was on cuteoverload, rather than canhascheezburger. I can't handle all of these blogs blogging each other.
Hippo + bull terriers = http://www.lifeinthefastlane.ca/hippopotamus-lives-as-a-pampered-house-pet/offbeat-news
mim, it's getting so… meta- as we approach the singularity.
That's why these animals never survive, there's all these Professional Animal People who just can't stop petting it. "Oh here Snookums, have some milk." "No, Janey! She wants WATER!" "MILK" "WATER" and then the tug of war, and then…well, you know. This is why they're rare. All the rare cute animals get cuddled to death. It's their fate, their destiny.
I gotta get me one, though. How much you think shipping is to California?
Is that a herd of film cameras or electric typewriters in the background? I like how you can tell when they get excited. It's a new ecology.
You've obviously never seen a hippo mark its territory.
It is the total opposite end of the spectrum from cute.
That is ridiculous cute. Sooo tiny.

KIMBALL, W. Va (WVVA)-- Police converged on an area Walmart Wednesday night-- but not because they were responding to a crime.
"You see the children come through and their eyes are gleaming, you know their heart is touched. And that's why we're here," said West.
"We're here to show them we care about them and they can hopefully grow up and know that good things come from police. And help comes from them."
Sheriff West says it's not just to give the kids Christmas gifts-- it's also about getting them some everyday things they'll need like clothes and shoes this season.

Opel Insignia Sports Tourer spotted with no disguise
By Robert Adams on August 27th, 2008
Opel will be introducing the Insignia Sport Tourer at the Paris Motor Show.
It will be available in European markets in spring 2009.
Sport Tourer gets two new engines – a downsized gasoline turbo engine and a new turbo diesel – will join the seven engines already available from launch of the sedan models.
Insigina Sport Tourer was never spotted as a prototype. Now our spy photographer has captured the new Sport Tourer undisguised testing with a caravan trailer.
This dynamic look encloses an interior that offers ample space for five occupants and a highly competitive luggage compartment. The luggage compartment offers a volume of 540 liters. The Sports Tourer has retained an identical wheelbase of 2.74 meters as the sedan models and added around 80 mm to its length for an overall 4.91 meters.

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 15 (HealthDay News) -- New data on birth outcomes provide some reassurance to women who are inadvertently exposed to leflunomide before or during pregnancy, according to research published online Feb. 3 in Arthritis & Rheumatism.
To examine birth outcomes, Matteo Cassina, M.D., of the University of Padua in Italy, and colleagues collected data from 16 women exposed to leflunomide during the first trimester, and 29 women exposed prior to conception, who contacted Teratology Information Services in the United States or Canada.
The researchers found that 27 (93 percent) of the women who were exposed to leflunomide prior to conception, and all 16 of the women exposed to leflunomide during their first trimester, had live born infants. In the women exposed during pregnancy, there were two infants with major malformations, but no malformations occurred in women exposed prior to conception. Potential alternative causes of the malformations were available for at least some of defects observed.
"These data provide additional reassurance to women who inadvertently become pregnant while taking leflunomide and who undergo the washout procedure, and women who discontinue the medication prior to conception but have no pre-pregnancy documentation of drug clearance. However, until more conclusive data become available, women on therapy should be advised to use contraceptive methods and avoid pregnancy," the authors write.
The study was funded by Sanofi-Aventis, which manufactures leflunomide.

MU Compliance Announcement Sparks Concern, Confusion
An announcement from CMS on Meaningful Use implementation deadline changes obscures the fact that the agency fully expects all Stage 2 start dates to remain unchanged.
For a few hours last Friday, healthcare providers thought they were going to get some relief from next year's Meaningful Use Stage 2 implementation deadlines. But what observers are calling a poorly worded announcement from CMS hid the fact that the agency fully expects all Stage 2 start dates to remain unchanged.
Instead, the CMS announcement proposes to push back start dates for Meaningful Use Stage 3, by adding a third year of Stage 2 for those providers who attested for Stage 1 in 2011 or 2012.
See Also: Meaningful Use Deadlines Delayed for 1 Year
Organizations which attested to Meaningful Use Stage 1 during the first year, 2011, and the second year, 2012, are still expected to attest to Meaningful Use Stage 2 during 2014. Those attesting to Stage 1 this year are still expected to attest to Stage 2 in 2015.
What CMS' proposal would mean is that start dates for Meaningful Use Stage 3 attestation would commence not in 2016, but in 2017 at the earliest.
Confusion sown by the Friday announcement even had HIMSS erroneously congratulating CMS for a Stage 2 delay that in fact was not in the cards. On Saturday morning, HIMSS put out a corrective statement expressing the same concern that CHIME had expressed the night before.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Frank Poggio (12/9/2013 at 10:05 AM)
From a vendor perspective 2015 test criteria is a wolf in sheep's clothing. In my experience having worked through many 2014 tests with clients - the criteria under 2014 became considerably more complex and extensive as each month passed, test criteria were revised almost on a monthly basis. For example the test for Safety Enhanced Design (170.114g3) started out requesting a simple description of your design/development process, to now submitting detailed test scenarios per NISTIR 7742 standards. The DVT test now requires WCAG 2.0 evaluations, but did not in the early gong. This growing complexity is one reason why far less vendors have passed 2014 than 2011. From a vendor perspective, the net result is if you wait for the new set of 2015 test criteria those tests will be even more difficult. My advice, don't wait too long. Remember in the healthcare world regulations only grow...never shrink!

Deutsche Bank today announced that it will launch paperless cross-border payment services in China via its electronic banking platform − db-direct internet − on 1 September 2013. With these services, corporates in China will be able to process their payments and foreign exchange transactions, as well as submit their supporting documents electronically directly on db-direct internet when necessary.
With the Bank's electronic banking platform, corporates can also benefit from a flexible authorisation set-up for electronic document delivery. Deutsche Bank's streamlined paperless cross-border payment services via one single platform will enable its clients to centralise their foreign exchange management and significantly improve their operational processes.
On 10 July 2013, People's Bank of China (PBOC) announced the simplification of Operating Procedures of Cross-border Renminbi Business, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) announced new Foreign Exchange Management Measures for Service Trade on 18 July 2013, which will be effective on 1 September 2013. These regulatory changes have enabled banks to offer more efficient solutions to their clients for their cross-border payments from China.
Carl Wegner, Greater China Head of Global Transaction Banking at Deutsche Bank, said: "We are proud to launch paperless cross-border payment services in China via one single platform, in response to the recent regulatory changes from PBOC and SAFE. By leveraging the robustness and flexibility of db-direct internet, we are able to further simplify payment processes for our clients in China. We are committed to continuously finding ways to help our clients benefit from this type of changes, especially the ongoing internationalisation of the Renminbi, and to enhance their payment experience with Deutsche Bank."

Professor Calls For Climate Change 'Deniers' To Be Imprisoned
A professor with Rochester Institute of Technology has called for the incarceration of any American who actively disagrees that climate change is solely caused by human activity. …
Torcello argues that malignant individuals, who he does not identify, are collectively organising a "campaign funding misinformation" about climate change. Torcello goes on to suggest that such activity "ought to be considered criminally negligent."
It should surprise no one that Fascistboy doesn't have a degree in climatology or physics or anything which might qualify him to have a "climate change" opinion more significant than a dog fart. No, Idiotboy has a degree in philosophy. His mother must be so proud. (His father, not so much. He'd been hoping his idiot son would be worth a shit, or at least make enough to pay off his college loans.)
Meanwhile, I have a counterproposal: I will beat with a hammer anyone who attempts to control me or steal from me "for the greater good" or "for my own good".

Open until 10 p.m. Monday–Thursday, TanQuest Sun Spas can bronze bodies after sunset with Mystic Tan spray booths and UV-emitting capsules from Ergoline and Soltron. Warm air flows through the Mystic HD booth as its automatic airbrushes spritz bronzer that lasts up to one week. UV beds cradle limbs on Bodyform rests and pipe in tunes via on-board sound systems, and upright UV booths are modeled after the one the sun sets up to sell its golden kisses. To heighten the effect of a tan, the staff lightens teeth to a brilliant shade of white and collects limited-edition Designer Skin lotions and Swedish Beauty accelerators in their boutique.
With a nod to the environment, the stylists at Creative Hair Design strive to pull from natural products when snipping or coloring tresses. Serums from Moroccanoil and L?Anza also provide structure as stylists assemble strands into elegant updos. In addition to hair, the techs dote on digits with bright coats of OPI polish.
At all 25 TNT Tanning locations throughout northeast Ohio, clients tan hides a healthy golden hue with the latest tanning beds and spray-tan booths. While at the salon, they can peruse shelves lined with skincare and tanning products such as bronzing powders, tanning lotions, and sunless sprays. To enhance the contouring tanning achieves, they can also swaddle themselves in a Fit body wrap designed to burn calories and reduce body fat.

Though one seldom sees the spinning red-and-white pole out front any more, barbershops still thrive in America?Sport Clips owns and operates more than 1,000 hair cutteries that cater specifically to men and boys. Inside each location, stylists buzz clippers, massage shoulders and scalps, and wrap faces in hot towels. They happily keep up friendly conversation, but also cater to customers who'd prefer to quietly watch a game on one of their flatscreen TVs.
In addition to maintaining a man-friendly atmosphere, each stylist can perform Sport Clips' signature service, the MVP Experience. They kick off the dude-pampering with a scalp massage that incorporates a Tea Tree shampoo treatment. Then, they wrap their client's face in a hot, steamed towel?a relaxing sensation that's good for the skin. They couple the towel wrap with a quick neck and shoulder massage, completing the whole service in about 20 minutes, giving guys plenty of time to return to chopping logs with their bare hands.
Wavy mirrors, translucent chairs, and bright-red walls lend a festive, upbeat atmosphere at SEKE' Styling Salon. Here, stylists pull from DevaCurl and Pureology formulas to infuse strands with frizz-free shine. In addition to shortening tresses with stylish cuts, the staff can add immediate length and volume via Great Lengths or Hair Dreams hair extensions.
With 45 combined years of tattooing experience, the artists at Tattoo Lounge Elyria can help clients turn their most imaginative ideas into distinctive skin art.

Piercing specialist Danny Qualls creates openings for body jewelry without the use of constricting forceps, allowing flesh to heal more quickly. Extensive training in safety measures such as CPR, first aid, and infection control keeps all procedures as safe as crossing Sesame Street during rush hour.

Absolutely Lovely!
The time we had in this vacation home was lovely. Our children loved the time we had together in this home as well as our grandchildren. It was amazing to watch the dolphins from the table as we ate breakfast since the ocean was only a few feet away. The description of the house is completely accurate and perfect for any vacation. We have rented several vacation homes over the years, and this home was the best rental in which we have stayed.
An Incredible Trip
My friends and I all came on a trip here and stayed in The Veranda. It was incredible! The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The owner was incredibly nice and accommodating, and the house is truly as amazing as it looks! We were blown away, and had one of the best weeks of our lives! Thank you, George + Family!
We took all our kids and grandchildren and also another couple with us to this house. We arrived right after hurricane IKE. We were still able to stay since the oner of the home was able to get her repair person there to make sure everything was in working order.Great location if you have little ones going to the beach. Well equipted with amenties for children 2 and under and toys for the beach for 2 and up.Would stay there again with out hesitation. There is a walmart 20 miles from house were we went and done our grocery shopping.We did not go into town as we were content to just use the beach and the pools that were provided.

This paper contributes an integrated survey of the work in the area of software inspection. It consists of two main sections. The first introduces a detailed description of the core concepts and relationships that together define the field of software inspection. The second elaborates a taxonomy that uses a generic development life-cycle to contextualize software inspection in detail. After Fagan's seminal work presented in 1976, the body of work in software inspection has greatly increased and reached measured maturity. Yet, there is still no encompassing and systematic view of this research body driven from a life-cycle perspective. This perspective is important since inspection methods and refinements are most often aligned to particular life-cycle artifacts. It also provides practitioners with a road-map available in their terms. To provide a systematic and encompassing view of the research and practice body in software inspection, the contribution of this survey is, in a first s...

I love Chez Victor, partly for its food but mainly for its brazen and bold cheek in firmly planting a French culinary foothold in the enemy territory of Chinatown!
Surrounded on all sides by oriental restaurants, Chez Victor proudly flies the flag literally for French cuisine with 2 huge French flags fluttering on flagpoles outside the restaurant.
The menu reels off some French classics but I've noted a recent nod to more populist dishes. In the old days, I've eaten uncompromising French classics like calf's brain which is sadly no longer on the menu these days.
So if you can't decide what Chinese/Korean/Japanese/Taiwanese food to eat and suddenly want a complete change while strolling through Chinatown, you can do worse than head to Chez Victor.
Some people might love fishes cause they're so delicious, but I loved Chez Victor. I actually had some fishes there, salmon that is. And oh what a salmon is was, all most and pink like a newborn baby. That's a terrible comparison because I've never eaten, nor will I ever eat a newborn baby, but this is the simile that came forth through the keys of my computer. I also had soup. Minestrone soup. Twas a bit salty, but I still liked it mucho.
We were greeted by the friendly staff with olives and bread. Olives were nicely marinated. Bread was bread. The waiters struck the perfect balance between attentive and withdrawn, playing a Mozart on the chords of the waitstaff-ing lute.
Even though I was there with a relative, it would have been a great date place. Surprisingly, the restaurant was somewhat empty, but that did not hinder my experience.
If you're looking for a slightly upscale restaurant for a nice meal, say Chez Victor is a victor. Don't you just love that lame pun?
Chez Victor is a quality Italian/French restaurant with a large menu and wonderful daily specials. The wine list is also extensive and reasonably priced for Central London. While there I had the Veal Milanese and Frogs Legs as a starter. Both of these dishes were lovely, although when visiting next I think trying one of their many fish dishes would be a good idea. The decor is a bit busy for some but the serice is good and the food is very good. An ideal place for people going to a show on the West End or those doing christmas shopping who fancy more than boring fast food. Prices are not cheap but very reasonable for Central London.
I stumbled upon this place when I was headed to the theater. It's totally in the heart of the theater district, so it's perfect for a pre-theater dinner. The wait staff speak Italian, so I loved getting to practice my language skills. The house appetizer: fresh cheese and delicious olives. I had homemade pasta, recommended by my waiter. The staff is INCREDIBLE. They totally treat you like family. This place was so good, I promised to bring my friends back later in the week after they arrived in town. I totally did...I brought like 10 people back and everything was just as good the second time. Everyone enjoyed every part of the meal: the wine, the appetizer, the main course. OMG it is so good, I had to remember I was not in Italy because the food was so good it was like I was sitting at my great aunt's place in southern Italy. I am totally looking forward to heading back here when I'm back in town.
