In an interview with the National Catholic Register's Edward Pentin, Archbishop Hilarion of Volokolamsk talks about his first official visit to Rome in September as chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department for External Church Affairs. He offers a caution about any Catholic-Orthodox union, something that media reports and at least one Catholic bishop said was imminent. In pointing out that the Roman Catholic understanding of the primacy of the bishop of Rome was a chief sticking point, Archbishop Hilarion also observed that the Orthodox have primacy issues, too. At least from the Russian perspective. NCR: Archbishop Paolo Pezzi of Moscow was recently very optimistic about Catholic-Orthodox unity, saying it could possibly happen in a matter of months. What is your reaction to Archbishop Pezzi's words, and what is your analysis of the current progress towards reunification? Archbishop Hilarion: I would be more cautious with regard to progress towards unity between … [Read more...]
The Primacy Problem (Catholic and Orthodox)
Stalin, Russianness and Orthodoxy
AsiaNews, the Roman Catholic news service, looks at how some elements in Russian society are working to rehabilitate Stalin's reputation and sees the Russian Orthodox Church "co-opted" into this process. The makeover of Stalin's image and the Soviet Era go together with an attempt by Russian rulers to restore the country's cultural identity, an impossible mission without the cooptation of Russian Orthodoxy. The Moscow Patriarchate, in spite of itself, is much involved in this issue, and has often been accused of playing right into the Kremlin's hands in order to gain cultural supremacy in Russian society. Aleksandr Cipko, a philosopher and editorial writer, from the pages of Nezavisimaja Gazeta on 15 September slammed the operation to revive the myth of Russia's supremacy over the West. For him, there is a danger that Stalin will be seen as the embodiment of the original Russian project rather than Communism. The philosopher is angered by self-styled "true patriots" who … [Read more...]
Archbishop Hilarion: Be like Christ
From an interview in the Russian publication Argumenty I Fakty, republished on the site of the Moscow Patriarchate. Worth reading in its entirety. Excerpts: Should the Church do something to attract young people? Should it seek a special approach to them? I believe that the search for real freedom is a worthy thing not only for young people but also for all those who are seeking the true life. The Church appreciates the aspiration of the young to freedom and independence, as Christians have never been the adherents of the submissiveness to the reality in which they live and which bears the apparent traces of sin. At the same time, the search for freedom, unfortunately, do not always bring people to their cherished goals. Young people often take permissiveness and nihilism for freedom. As a result, after a natural dependence of their parents up to a certain age they become slaves of consumers' worldview and brute instincts that the slavery exploits. Therefore the Church … [Read more...]
Moscow: Limited jurisdiction for Constantinople
From the Moscow Patriarchate's report on the recent meeting between Archbishop Hilarion of Volokolamsk and Pope Benedict XVI: Archbishop Hilarion stressed the importance of the Orthodox and Catholic common witness to traditional Christian values in face of the secular world. He pointed to the identity of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches' views on such themes as family, motherhood, population crisis, euthanasia and many other ethical issues. The DECR chairman pointed to essential differences existing on these issues between the Orthodox and Catholics, on one hand, and various Protestant communities, on the other. In this situation the Orthodox-Catholic cooperation in elaborating a common stand on these issues acquired a special importance, he said. Archbishop Hilarion also pointed to the need to enhance the positive potential of the bilateral relations including cooperation in the field of culture. The DECR chairman and the head of the Roman Catholic Church discussed … [Read more...]
Archbishop Hilarion makes appeal for Christian unity
From Interfax: Moscow, September 21 -- Head of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Church Relations Archbishop Hilarion of Volokolamsk, who is visiting Rome, has celebrated the Divine Liturgy in Catacombs of St. Callixtus. Speaking to believers after the service, the Archbishop urged to overcome a thousand-year-old dispute between Christians of East and West and reminded about heroism of first Christians who prayed in catacombs and preserved unity in spite of persecutions from outside. "Denied by the world, far from human eyes, deep under ground in caves, first Roman Christians performed the feat of prayer. Their life brought fruit of holiness and martyr heroism. The Holy Church was built on their blood shed for Christ," the DECR press service has cited Archbishop Hilarion as saying. Then Church came out of the catacombs, but Christian unity was lost, the Archbishop further said. Today, when the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church don't have … [Read more...]
A Catholic-Orthodox Union?
We should all be extremely cautious about the recent comments about a Catholic-Orthodox union (Fr. Peter-Michael Preble has already raised important questions about these reports). Outside of the obvious and thorny theological questions – on both sides – that would arise, is there any way such a union could take place without first convening an all-Orthodox Council? And if such a council would move in that direction, would the whole Church accept that council as Orthodox? In "Needed: Both Lungs," the editors of the National Catholic Register quote Archbishop Paolo Pezzi of Moscow who told an Italian newspaper that unity between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches could be accomplished in the very near future. In fact, the paper reported, the archbishop predicted that it could be a reality "within a few months." At the same time, we read that "Moscow Patriarchate believes Uniate expansion in Ukraine the most complicated problem in relations with Vatican," according to an Interfax … [Read more...]
Archbishop Hilarion to visit Vatican soon
Moscow, September 9, Interfax – Head of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Church Relations Archbishop Hilarion of Volokolamsk is going on a working visit to Vatican to discuss issues connected with dialogue between the two Churches. He told it at his meeting with Dominican Foreign Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso in Moscow. According to the Archbishop, today the Moscow Patriarchate has set out "good relations" with the Roman Catholic Church, which have been particularly improved in recent years under Pope Benedict XVI of Rome. "We have frank and rather efficient dialogue and its objective is to present Christian vision to our present world and give answers to the questions raised by today's reality," the DECR head said.

Archbishop Hilarion: Stalin a 'Monster'
HT: ONet blog Russian archbishop's censure of Stalin as "a monster" makes waves By Sophia Kishkovsky Tuesday, 04 August 2009 23:00 MOSCOW (ENI) -— Comments by a senior official of the Russian Orthodox Church condemning Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, accusing him of genocide, shortly before a European security forum equated the crimes of Stalin and Hitler, have stirred heated debate in the Russian media and blogosphere. "I think that Stalin was a spiritually-deformed monster, who created a horrific, inhuman system of ruling the country," Archbishop Hilarion had said in a June interview with the news magazine Ekspert. "He unleashed a genocide against the people of his own country and bears personal responsibility for the death of millions of innocent people. In this respect Stalin is completely comparable to Hitler." … [Read more...]
Ukrainian Orthodoxy 'Very Politicized'
From the Religious Information Service of the Ukraine: MOSCOW—Representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) expressed confidence that foreign structures will not interfere with church problems in Ukraine. In particular, they mean the Constantinople Patriarchate, which, according to the ROC representatives, the Ukrainian authorities hoped to engage in the establishment of a national church separate from the Moscow Patriarchate. "They (Constantinople Patriarchate) understand well that Ukraine is an integral part of the Russian Orthodox Church, that there exists spiritual unity of nations – Russians, Ukrainians, Moldovians, Belarusians," noted the head of the Department of External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate, Archbishop Ilarion (Alfeiev) of Volokolamsk, at a press conference in Moscow about the visit of the head of ROC to Istanbul in early July. News.ru reports that in the archbishop's opinion, the very tone of the past negotiations shows that the … [Read more...]
Interview: A Mission in the World
The Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate distributed "A Mission in the World," an interview of Archbishop Hilarion of Volokolamsk by Expert Magazine (Issue No. 23 (661) June 15, 2009). Expert Magazine Your Eminence, one hundred days have passed since the enthronement of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia. What has changed in church-society relations since?

Archbishop Hilarion The man who ascended to the throne of the Moscow Patriarchate is one who has been known for many years for his focus on mission and his capacity to shed light on matters. He has long been in active co-operation with all parts of the society, hosting a TV programme of his own and making regular appearances in the print media.

On the 'gradual consolidation of the Orthodox diasporas'
Comments from Russian Orthodox Archbishop Hilarion of Volokolamsk on the pre-conciliar deliberations at Chambesy, Switzerland, which was to address, in part, "problems in the Orthodox diaspora." In this interview with the Russian news service Interfax, before leaving for the meeting, the archbishop talks about the "many faces" of the Orthodox 'diaspora' and the agenda setting process for a Great Council. The Chambesy meeting, scheduled for June 6-13, is the fourth Pan-Orthodox Pre-Council Conference with the most recent one taking place in 1986, according to the news service. Interfax: The forthcoming Pan-Orthodox Pre-Council Conference in Chambesy will deal with the Orthodox diaspora. What is today's Orthodox diaspora in your view? Can we speak about even the smallest degree of its integrity or does it represent scattered local communities of the faithful of Local Churches whose ethnic and national 'dividing walls' reach as high as heaven? Archbishop Hilarion: The life and … [Read more...]
Archbishop Hilarion Predicts 'New Local Churches'
From Interfax: Archbishop Hilarion contemplates the establishment of new local Orthodox Churches Moscow, June 1, - Head of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Church Relations Archbishop Hilarion of Volokolamsk believes that the current Inter-Orthodox consultations may cause the establishment of new local Orthodox churches. "It is our opinion that the progressive consolidation of Orthodox communities will eventually result in the establishment of new local Orthodox Churches," Archbishop Hilarion said Interfax-Religion on Monday. According to him, the claims that Orthodox communities are "isolated from each other" evidence "the lack of knowledge about the real life of the community." "Orthodox believers usually seek communication with each other, and sometimes people make long trips, overcome language barriers and other obstacles to meet a particular Orthodox priest or attend a particular service," the Archbishop said. He highlighted that Orthodoxy had … [Read more...]

The Cincinnati Bengals bested the Tennessee Titans in preseason action on Saturday, winning 27-19. Cincinnati put together a complete effort, but it was the 193 rushing yards the team put up that helped them to victory.
Running backs Dan Herron and Giovani Bernard combined for 118 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Herron carried the ball nine times for 81 yards, with a long of 40.
Ryan Fitzpatrick played well in relief of Jake Locker, completing 9 of 13 passes for 136 yards and a pair of touchdowns, putting the Titans back into the game briefly. It wasn't enough to give them a win, but given that Locker himself only completed 12 of his 20 pass attempts for 116 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions, it was a good effort from Fitzpatrick.
Bengals starting quarterback Andy Dalton looked as good as advertised. He completed 9 of 14 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. His backup, John Skelton, completed just 5 of 10 passes for 59 yards before giving way to Josh Johnson.
Did they cover?
The Bengals opened as 3.5-point favorites, but the line moved down to 1-to-2.5 points on most books as the week progressed. Either way, they covered.
What's next?
The Titans will return home to take on the Atlanta Falcons on Aug. 24. Cincinnati will hit the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys on the same day.

Torah Tidbits
Parsha Points to Ponder
Parsha Points to Ponder - Korach
1) Why did G-D instruct Moshe to take his staff to the rock if the command was to speak and not hit the rock (20:8)?
2) G-D tells Moshe and Aharon that they were punished for NOT TRUSTING ME TO SANCTIFY ME IN THE EYES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL (20:12). When did Moshe and Aharon fail in this manner?
3) Why does the Torah say AND FROM THERE THEY TRAVELED regarding the Jews traveling to Nachal Zared and Eiver Arnon (21:12-13) instead of the usual AND THEY TRAVELED FROM ONE PLACE AND CAMPED IN ANOTHER (e.g. see 21:10-11)?
Ponder the questions first, then see below
Suggested answers
1) The Kli Yakar teaches that G-D instructed Moshe to bring Aharon's staff and not his own. This was the staff which sprouted flowers after the Korach dispute. This would remind the people that just like G-D caused some water to form on this inanimate staff in order to enable the flowers to grow, he could do the same from the rock.
2) The Daat Zekainim MiBaalei HaTosfot explain that Moshe and Aharon did this when they said FROM THIS ROCK CAN WE BRING FORTH WATER FOR YOU (20:10), seemingly attributing the miracle to their powers instead of saying CAN G-D WILL BRING FORTH WATER.
3) The Ohr HaChayim answers that the Torah uses different terminology since the Jews traveled to these two places after Aharon died and they no longer had the clouds of glory to lead them. Thus, they traveled on their own as the change in language indicates rather than following the movement of the clouds.

text: I cannot understand some of HC's calls. It is rare, but occasionally HC will call individuals as 0/1 when their ADs are 0,50+ (clearly 1/1). I tried looking at the output bams at those positions, but nothing there would suggest to my human eye that the individual would have a haplotype that included a ref at that position. This is definitely an issue of long range haplotype calling, because the genotypes are "correctly" called when I use a vcf as the input file instead of a bed file containing multiple variant positions in the same region.

Lynx Owner Glen Taylor Looking for His Successor
According to the AP, Glen Taylor, owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx, is looking for a minority partner who would eventually be his successor. This transition would be along the lines of the Wizards/Mystics/Capitals ownership transition from Abe Pollin to Ted Leonsis which took place from 1999 to 2010. Obviously, the biggest asset in this ownership transition would be the Timberwolves NBA team, and like many other articles of this type, the Lynx isn't even mentioned, but I'd say that it's safe to assume that they're on sale with the Wolves. What would do you think or would like to see with the ownership situation of the Lynx basketball team?

Definition: "Church Pews bunker" is the name of a specific bunker at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa. The bunker is between the third and fourth fairways and is made up a vast expanse of sand broken up by a series of grassy islands that appear one after the other in a row. The name "Church Pews" comes from the berms' resemblance to rows of church pews.

Preseason football games are as important as your mind will let them be.
A poor first game can be written off as a lack of cohesion, especially when new systems are being installed by first-year head coaches.
A good performance can create visions as grandeur as zealots will allow, which often includes mention of a Super Bowl.
The Cleveland Browns' showing in a 27-19 win over the St. Louis Rams last Thursday undoubtedly falls somewhere in the middle. There was a lot to like at first glance, but the coaches probably spent most of Friday analyzing everything that went wrong.
If coach Rob Chudzinski could bottle quarterback Brandon Weeden's performance and spread it over a 16-game season, the Browns might be a legitimate playoff contender. Weeden was 10-of-13 for 112 yards and one touchdown in orchestrating two scoring drives that registered 10 points.
There's a different look to Weeden this year, much of which usually can be attributed to a second-year pro feeling more comfortable in his skin. Weeden appears to have added a little upper-body strength to go along with a more confident, comfortable approach.
No one will ever doubt Weeden's ability to zip the ball to all points on the field. Give him time in the pocket and he'll make every throw offensive coordinator Norv Turner might ask of him.
Areas in which Weeden needs to improve are pocket comfort and awareness. When protection begins to collapse, Weeden has a tendency to hit the panic button and make ill-advised throws. He needs to develop the type of pocket presence that has made Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger successful for close to a decade.
Beyond the Weeden factor, the win over the Rams should be a wakeup call to running back Montario Hardesty, who missed the game with a hamstring injury. Hardesty has been injury-prone from the time he began his college career at the University of Tennessee. With Dion Lewis and Brandon Jackson showing their capabilities as backups to Trent Richardson, Hardesty would appear expendable.
Defensively, the mantra of coordinator Ray Horton is to attack and then attack some more. That sounds all well and good to the fan base, but it can be a risky approach against an intelligent quarterback that will take advantage of vacated short zones.
It's all about getting home (pressuring the quarterback) when blitzing. Former Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan talked a big game when in town, but his words often rang hollow on game days. Horton must be careful to avoid the same pitfalls.
There's a feeling that right cornerback could be a persistent problem. Chris Owens sat out the Rams' game with a foot injury, but there are no assurances he's the answer even when healthy. Whether Owens, rookie Leon McFadden or Buster Skrine gets the call, you can bet that opponents will work that side of the field.
The kicking and punting games gave Chudzinski more to ponder as replacements are sought for kicker Phil Dawson and punter Reggie Hodges. T.J. Conley appears to have an edge over Spencer Lanning in the punting duel, but more action needs to play out.
Rookie kicker Brandon Bogotay has a strong leg, but he was wide left from 54 yards out. Dawson would have nailed that in what proved to be favorable wind conditions.
Shayne Graham supposedly has a weaker leg than Bogotay, but he got good depth on kick offs and made a 41-yard kick goal. The advantage would seem to be with Graham, but Bogotay's young age and strong leg might work in his favor.
In addition to Weeden, another standout was Travis Benjamin, who took a punt 91 yards for a touchdown. Benjamin, who had a 93-yard punt return last season, used nothing but speed to turn the corner and cruise the final 30-plus yards.
In summation, Weeden was better than expected, Benjamin might make fans forget Josh Cribbs, Sheldon Brown might be missed at cornerback and no one will replace Dawson.

According to baseballmusings, Hoffman is the frontrunner to take the hardware today.
May I just say, it would be a travesty... Hoffman's era is less than a run better than Carp's and his WHIP is only .1 better. You have to be a lot better than that if you're only going to pitch 63 innings. Moreover, he blew 6 saves. Izzy led the league with 10 (I think).
It's as if no one can decide between Webb/Oswalt/Carp, so they give it to the fourth best candidate in order to avoid deciding. I think the Cy should be decided by a formula involving innings pitched, runs allowed, and baserunners allowed. Thoughts?

Hey Guys!
Myself and a few friends are having ourselves a Super Bowl Party - Scottish style - the game actually kicks off about 11:30pm / 12am for us over here, so it will be a little different, but we all have the Monday off work (woo!) so we can make a proper fist of it this year! It also happens to fall on my birthday (double woo!), but the Norse Gods decided not to gift me the Vikings in the final..... oh well!
Anyways - since we are celebrating the game properly this year, i just wanted to know if any of you have Super Bowl parties? Do you have any rituals or games that you and your family and friends take part in every year? It would be great to hear some suggestions to help improve improve our Party - but even more, it would be great just to hear everyone's tales of Super Bowl Sundays....
Cheers guys, and SKOL!

We've all heard it and talked about it nearly ad nauseum. Depending on which stat geek's numbers you look at, Portland had either the #1 or the #2 offense in the NBA this year. Defense was the primary issue with the Blazers all year long.
As we've discussed, offensive rebounding and Brandon Roy's 1v1 brilliance were both big parts of that. During the season, a number of posters expressed the concern that this made Portland's offense less bankable for the playoffs. I was skeptical. I expected our offense to be just fine in the playoffs.
It wasn't.
Houston made one of the NBA's most efficient offenses look like its one of its worst. According to John Hollinger, Portland averaged 103.0 points per 100 possessions in the playoffs, down from 110.7 in the regular season. The 103.0 mark was good for 9th best in the playoffs, and would have ranked the Blazers 23rd in the regular season. *aside: Houston's playoff efficiency was 106.3, compared to their regular season mark of 105.4, so while Portland's D didn't get killed, they did allow the Rockets to do better than their season average, though the D was a lot better after game 1.*
So, now we have to ask ourselves what happened to the Blazer offense. Of course, we expect the effeiciency to drop against the Rockets, who sported the league's 4th best defense this year... but should it have dropped as far as it did? Is the Blazer offense not built for the playoffs? Was Houston just a really bad matchup? Did the players just not produce? All of the above?
Going a little deeper, we can look at Portland's offensive "4 factors" for the regular season and the playoffs (thanks Royster)
eFG%: .511 to .484
TOV%: .125 to .120
ORb%: .326 to .237
FTA/FGA: .234 to .201
The first thing that jumps out here is that Portland's offensive rebound rate dropped by nearly 30%. Looking at the 2 late regular season games Portland played in Houston (the Rockets were a totally different team with TMac in the early season Blazer win), the Blazers O-reb rate was .241, so here it appears that the matchup limited Portland's offensive rebounding advantage-- the Rockets are a good defensive rebounding team.
As far as efg% goes, Portland's efg% in those two late season games vs. Houston was 0.481, again very similar to the playoff numbers. Yet again, we appear to be looking at something matchup dependent rather than playoff dependent. Small sample size caveats apply to any numbers here-- we're dealing with 2 regular season games and 6 playoff games.
What about individual players? I'll just point out a few notable things.
Brandon Roy was outstanding in the playoffs, accumulating a PER of over 26 (two points higher than his regular season mark), good for 8th in the playoffs. He scored the ball nearly as effeciently as he did in the regular season, which is remarkable given the defenders he was facing. Notable, however, is that his usage rate climbed from 27.5 in the regular season to 33.1 in the playoffs-- Portland relied on him even more. Despite this, Roy saw his assist rate cut by about 40%. In those two late season games against Houston, Roy had 5 and 6 assists. In the playoffs, Roy reached the 5 assist plateau just once, in game 4. Help me out-- was this primarily due to Roy passing less or teammates just missing shots?
By far the most striking difference in a player's true shooting % numbers from regular season to the playoffs was Travis Outlaw's .379 mark, compared to .541 in the regular season.
Greg Oden's rebound rate was 15% lower than in the regular season. Joel Przybilla's was 25% lower. LaMarcus Aldridge's was 5% lower. I think we can all agree that Houston winning the rebound battle was a huge factor in the series.
Collecting a few opinions:
Kevin "KP2" Pelton answered my question in one of his chats:
Jacob (CA): Kevin, what's your diagnosis for Portland's awful offensive showing in these playoffs? Too much 1v1 play? Relying on offensive rebounding too much? Just a great job by Houston? Where does Portland go from here?
Kevin Pelton (Basketball): The thing is, the Blazers' offense should in theory be much easier to translate into the playoffs than teams that rely on transition offense or something like that. That was the premise of a piece I wrote for Sports Northwest Magazine earlier this year. Dependence on outside shooting did make them somewhat vulnerable, but end games in the playoffs are all about 1-on-1 play (as one person remarked during Boston-Chicago Game 5, "We play a team game for six months. Then it's all about the individuals in the playoffs."), so ... . I think a lot of the credit has to go to the Rockets, who made the Blazers really like discombobulated at times in the series.
John Hollinger touched on this in his insider gems piece on May 1. Since its insider, I won't paste the whole thing (link here), but here's an exerpt:
Portland's elimination in the first round was a disappointment to anyone who saw how well they played in the regular season, and what stood out was the total no-show by the Blazers' secondary players.
Throughout the season, Portland leaned on Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge, just as they did in the playoffs. But the Blazers also got a lot of production from players like Travis Outlaw, Steve Blake, Rudy Fernandez, Joel Przybilla, Nicolas Batum and Greg Oden -- production that completely dried up against Houston.
There's a need for more players who can get their own shot instead of having Roy get it for them.
Jksnake99's two cents: I still feel Portland's offense is excellent, albeit far from perfect. Against most playoff opponents, defense still would have been our biggest concern. However, against teams like Houston-- teams that don't have to double team Roy and have the horses to limit Aldridge and neutralize Portland's rebound advantage, the Blazers are still vulnerable. Possible solutions include running more, establishing Oden as a legit option, or getting someone else who can create his own shot (Outlaw wasn't that guy in these playoffs-- could Rudy be that guy next year?). I do think this series was still very winnable, despite the clear matchup problems presented by Houston-- the Blazers needed a better effort on the glass, more consistent production from Aldridge and a lot more out of Outlaw. Rudy shot the ball well, but his ast/to ratio (better than 1 during the regular season) was a woeful 0.32-- that didn't help either. There was plenty of blame to go around.
Your turn:
- What happened to Portland's Offense?
- Why did Roy's ast % drop so much?
- How was Houston able to neutralize Portland's offensive rebounding? Would this have happened against a different matchup?
- What needs to change against teams like Houston?
- What needs to change in general?
- Other thoughts?

Police chased the man through streets of Worcester, Leicester and into nearby Charlton; all in pursuit of the stolen ice cream delivery truck.
Bystanders got a good long look because the truck hardly got halfway to 60 miles per hour.
"All along, this delivery truck did not exceed 30 miles per hour. Mainly 18 miles per hour through the city and no greater than 30 miles per hour outside the city area," said Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst, Worcester Police Department.
At one point -- before the chase started but after the truck was stolen -- the driver pulled over to buy a six pack of beer.
He didn't have time to drink it, but the bottles came in handy as he threw one out the window at a police cruiser that had pulled up next to him.

By Carolyn Cui
Treasurys drifted lower after an auction of two-year notes failed to attract strong buying interest, a disappointing result after the recent surge in yields.
With Tuesday's losses, the U.S. government-debt market was poised to extend a losing streak into seven consecutive trading sessions. Treasurys remained on shaky ground as fresh signs of an improving U.S. economy led to the Federal Reserve's decision to scale back its monetary stimulus, which in turn has sparked the market's worst one-week selloff in more than a decade.
In afternoon trading, benchmark 10-year Treasury notes lost 13/32 in price to yield 2.597%, according to Tradeweb. The 30-year Treasury bond declined 26/32 in price to yield 3.609%. Bond prices move inversely to their yields.
At the auction, the Treasury's sale of $35 billion in two-year notes got a lackluster reception from investors, drawing $3.05 in bids for every $1 worth of notes on sale, below the average $3.32 from the past four two-year auctions, according to CRT Capital LLC.
As a result, the U.S. government pays a higher interest rate of 0.43% for the new notes, more than the 0.425% for similar notes already in circulation before the auction.
Direct bidders, non-primary-dealer investors that place their bids directly with the Treasury, purchased 7.8% of the notes, compared with an average of 23.4% percent at the last four auctions. This marked the lowest takedown by the group since April 2012.
But indirect bidders, an investor class that includes foreign central banks, picked up the slack and purchased 35.8% of the notes, compared with an average of 21.3%.
Given the recent bond fund outflows and front-end funds' underperformance, we would assume these indirect bids could be foreign led, given the lack of domestic dry powder," wrote analysts with Nomura Securities in a note to clients.
The lukewarm demand for the new Treasury debt came amid a violent selloff in the bond market that began in May and accelerated in recent days after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke hinted at an end to the central bank's quantitative-easing program. Dealers had expected the backup in yields to attract more buyers, as the yield on two-year notes soared to a two-year high of 0.409% in current trading, up from 0.204% on May 1.
The safe-haven market initially attracted buyers overnight and in early U.S. trading as several Fed officials tried to push back against market perceptions that the U.S. central bank is taking a turn toward tighter monetary policy.
The Chinese central bank's attempt to address a credit crunch that has squeezed banks and rattled stock traders also contributed to the earlier strength in the U.S. bond market.
But early gains quickly evaporated after a slew of economic reports showed the U.S. economy is on a sustainable path to stronger growth and lower unemployment.
Among them, durable-goods orders in May rose at 3.6% in May, well ahead of consensus expectations for a more modest pace at 3.0%. June's consumer confidence jumped to 81.4, while a reading of 74.3 was expected. The Richmond Fed reported its manufacturing index jumped to 8 from last month's reading of negative 2, indicating an expansion in the region's factory activity.
In a sign of growing momentum in the housing recovery, new-home sales in May rose to their highest level in nearly five years, up 2.1% to an annual rate of 476,000 units. April's S&P/Case-Shiller home-price index also came in higher than expected, rising 12.1% year on year, racking up its biggest annual gain in seven years.
All of the upbeat economic readings added pressure to the Treasury market, which was already shell-shocked at Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's statement last Wednesday, confirming the central bank's plan to begin scaling back purchases of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities from the current pace of $85 billion a month "later this year" and ending them by the middle of next year.
The benchmark 10-year yield surged 0.42 percent points over the last six trading days, settling at 2.546% on Monday, the highest level since August 2011. Heavy losses and dramatic price swings spooked investors, triggering an exodus from all sorts of bond funds.
The carnage, however, has created a buying opportunity, some analysts say. At these yield levels, "the buyers have begun to come out of the woodwork and are willing to meet the sellers for the first time in some days," said William O'Donnell, head U.S. government bond strategist at RBS Securities Inc.
Bond investors were scrambling to rebalance their positions in the face of a potential tapering by the Fed, exacerbating the selloff. In the latest weekly report, J.P. Morgan's Treasury client survey showed that investors had dramatically slashed their government-bond holdings during the past week, with all clients' long positions down by 13% to 6%--the biggest one-week decline in net longs in over two years.
The negative market reaction seems to have some Fed officials concerned.
In an unusual step Monday, Narayana Kocherlakota, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, released a statement and held an impromptu conference call with reporters to argue that the Fed is committed to continuing its bond-buying program until the U.S. jobless rate falls further and to keeping short-term interest rates near zero for a long time even after the bond purchases end.
"We have to bring that [point] forward and hammer every time we talk about policy," Mr. Kocherlakota said.

Massachusetts investigators are preparing to travel to Florida so that they can re-interview a potential suspect in the murder of Molly Bish.
The Worcester County District Attorney's office confirmed on Wednesday that they will be heading south to talk to Rodney Stanger.
Stanger is an admitted killer who resembles the sketches in the Bish case. It was just days ago that FOX 25's Bob Ward reported that the sister of Stanger's victim recently retrieved items from Stanger's trailer that may connect him to the Bish case.
The cluttered Summerfield, FL trailer where Stanger lived is also the same place he stabbed his long-time girlfriend, Chrystal Morrison. Morrison's sister, Bonnie Kiernan, and her friend, Scott Reynolds, shot home video of the trailer.
In the bedroom, they found the murder scene where evidence of the violence is still present.
In a kitchen cabinet, they found Stanger's wallet which held his Massachusetts firearms I.D. card that was renewed just weeks before Molly Bish's murder. That card bears an I.D. picture that closely resembles the sketches of a mystery man in the Bish case who has still not been identified. The victim's sister and her friend say the wallet was hidden in the back of the bottom shelf.
Outside of the trailer, they found video cameras in the trees and barbed wire wrapped around the home.
Photographs that included shots of Florida law enforcement were found inside the trailer.
The biggest find were keys to Stanger's safety deposit box. It is likely that Massachusetts investigators will be checking to see if there is anything in the box that might solve the twelve year old Bish case when they arrive in Florida.

Junior Seau, longtime NFL player, has died at the age of 43 due to an apparent suicide. Seau played for three teams and ended his 20-year career with the New England Patriots, who issued a statement on Wednesday remembering Seau's contributions to the team.
"We were shocked to hear of the initial reports regarding Junior Seau earlier today and are deeply saddened by the news of his death. We were fortunate to have had Junior join the Patriots in 2006 and are thankful for his many contributions to the team over the next four years. He had a legendary NFL career and his unrivaled passion for the game quickly made him a fan favorite here in New England. This is a sad day for the entire Patriots organization, our coaches and his many Patriots teammates. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his many friends who will mourn this loss."
Seau's playing time declined in each of his four seasons in New England but the Patriots often bring in guys like Seau for the positive impact they'll have on their younger players who are becoming acclimated to the NFL.
Seau spent 13 of his 20 NFL seasons with the Chargers, who released a statement on his death.

Has anyone considered this? Does it make any sense?
We could trade for Chase Headley, a very good defensive 3B and cut down on the number of ground balls getting through the 5/6 hole - move Miggy to LF, where I think he broke into MLB - trade Porcello, Boesch & Castellanos. I think Petco would be a good fit for Porcello. People may object to trading Castellanos but ... team getting the best player wins trades. Where are those 5 prospects we sent to the Marlins in the Cabrera/Willis deal?

More on TARP remorse
From the Commercial Appeal:
Some bankers who first thought of the U.S. Treasury "Troubled Asset Relief Program" as a gift horse are now starting to look at the plan as a Trojan horse.
At least four area banks will give back the millions invested in their institutions through the TARP Capital Participation Program. Other bankers, such as Kirk Bailey and the board at Magna Bank in Memphis, are either thinking about it, or like the folks at Moscow Bancshares Inc., are planning to buy back the stock early.

I used to follow PC Gamer but it seems like the ad-dollars really started influencing their review scores. Metacritic is nice, but I don't always believe the average. The others - IGN, Gamespot, and the like, seem like they have a mild favoritism as well.
So, what's the most reputable source of game reviews right now? I'm looking for the Anandtech of gaming.

The Importance of "Turn Around, Don't Drown"
Posted 9:46 a.m.
Sometimes when we share the message, "Turn Around, Don't Drown" we hear feedback that it's an obvious statement or unnecessary.
We use this message often because nationwide, over half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Overnight, our Fire and Rescue Department conducted eight swift water rescues, successfully helping a total of 11 people out of their vehicles, including this one:
Swift water rescue. Be careful driving: MT @ffxfirerescue: Walney Rd/Flatlick Branch / 2 vehicles in swollen creek bit.ly/1btn4Nt—
Fairfax County (@fairfaxcounty) July 12, 2013
We share this safety message not because we want to share the most obvious observation, but because it really can happen, as proven last night.
Three key tips to keep in mind:
- Never drive through a flooded roadway; the depth, current and condition of the road are all unknowns and can be deadly.
- If your vehicle stalls on a flooded road and water is rising, get out of car, call 911, and move to higher ground.
- Be especially cautious during periods of limited visibility or nighttime when it is extremely difficult to see and judge conditions.

Hearing set on Commons Park entrance plan
By Kevin D. Thompson
The village council on Thursday is expected to hold a public hearing to discuss buying and leveling a foreclosed home alongside Commons Park to create a walking-distance entrance for residents who live near the $23 million site's northeast section. The 2,330-square-foot single family home at 109 Heron Parkway sits on .26 acres in The Willows subdivision and is owned by U.S. Bank. The house has been in foreclosure since 2006. The village has a signed contract from the bank, saying that Royal Palm Beach is the successful bidder on the house. The purchase price is $156,500 plus closing costs. The deal should be done by Dec. 20, Village Manager Ray Liggins said. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at village hall at Royal Palm Beach and Okeechobee boulevards.

Taking Your Company Public – Public Cloud, That Is
On-demand IT service, increased efficiency, best-in-class technology and above all, a great reduction in IT costs and resources – to the decision makers, the benefits of utilizing the cloud for their firm's IT needs are highly alluring. Despite all of the appeals, a survey of 247 Fortune1000 from TheInfoPro reported that only 10% of the respondents would use the public cloud for the storage-as-as-service piece. What's behind the hesitation?
The two main factors are security and control. Most firms would prefer to deploy their own private cloud instead of leveraging the public cloud. With a private cloud, IT managers can be certain that the data is still on their floor, within their control and within the confines of their firm's secure grounds. However, deploying a private cloud is not free of complications. A few issues noted by ComputerWorld include budget, scalability and reconfiguring legacy hardware for integration into the private cloud. Additionally, if anything goes wrong, the responsibility rests solely on your IT team, who may not have the resources or budget to fix the issues.
Just consider: it's great to have your own private jet, but flying first-class is sometimes just as good.

The Cowboys still will not have enough cap room after expected cuts. The solution is to trade somebody and that somebody is DeMarcus Ware.
There is a lot of talk about trading on BTB. Most of it relies on trading down for extra draft picks.
However, one recent discussion about free agency netted this gem from OCC:
You don't trade draft picks to the New England Patriots for veteran players.
I might have paraphrased some parts of the quote, but the meaning of the quote is still there.
This was in reference to the 2010 trade that brought Randy Moss back to the Minnesota Vikings. In exchange, the New England Patriots received the Vikings third round draft pick in 2011. The reason for this lesson is sort of tongue in cheek. The Vikings really didn't see much into the return of Moss. He was soon dismissed from the team, and it led to the Vikings firing Head Coach Brad Childress. Meanwhile New England used the pick on Quarterback Ryan Mallett.
The Proposal
What I propose is that the Dallas Cowboys make a trade to the New England Patriots. This would help the Cowboys get under the cap while getting a player in return. In this case, I would trade away DeMarcus Ware. Yes I realize what he means to the Cowboys, but some moves have to be made when the team is over the cap at $143,073,082 Million. A trade with any team would reduce our 2013 commitments to $130,852,332. The Cap is scheduled to be targeted at $121 million for 2013 with a $106,480,000 Salary floor. This the new salary floor amounts to 88.8% of the salary cap. There is a detailed explanation over at SB Nation's NFL site.
There are a few reasons why I picked the New England Patriots for the trade. First, New England is right around that salary floor and this means that the Patriots need to be spenders this free agency period. Second, the Pats need help on defense and they only have five draft picks in late April. What I am proposing is that we would give up DeMarcus Ware and get Ryan Mallett and a 2014 2nd or 3rd round draft pick in return.
Mallett has been an exclusive backup in the Patriots offense since he was drafted. Trading him to the Cowboys would allow for him to compete for the starting job. Given where we are at, this, at the very least would make Tony Romo a better player.
In the end, we don't need to give Romo an extension, and we can learn from other teams as to what happens when purely above average quarterbacks are given one. They intend to help their team implode. Just ask the Washington Redskins about Donovan McNabb or the New York Jets about Mark Sanchez. Both were signed to guarenteed contracts that hurt their teams cap room. If we need to sign Tony to an extension, make sure it is a small and incentive laden one after the season starts.

A big-ass tree isn't the only noteworthy thing being put on show at Macy's this Christmas. In response to multiple claims of racial profiling at major New York department stores, civil rights leaders including the Rev. Al Sharpton and retail executives have unveiled a 'bill of rights' to protect customers from shop-and-frisk practices.
The one-page document was given final approval Monday morning during a press conference at Avenue Presbyterian Church, which including Sharpton, Ted Potrikus of the Retail Council of New York State, incoming comptroller Scott Stringer, and executives from department stores Barneys, Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman and Lord & Taylor. It will be displayed by department stores in the forthcoming days and must be highly visible to customers, available upon request, and clearly placed on store websites.
Stores will use internal tests to test compliance, and the regulations will take effect nationwide — not just in New York City. Employees who violate the code will be disciplined and could be fired.
"A person may be detained only in a reasonable manner and for not more than a reasonable time to permit investigation or questioning, provided an authorized employee has reasonable grounds to believe that the person so detained was guilty of criminal possession of an anti-security item or was committing or attempting to commit shoplifting on the premises," it continues.
In April 19-year-old Trayon Christian was stopped by two undercover officers after purchasing a $349 Salvatore Ferragamo belt with his debit card and ID. Prompted by that news, 21-year-old Kayla Phillips came forward with a disturbingly similar story in October, and a few days later actor Rob Brown of HBO's Treme filed a lawsuit against Macy's on the grounds that he was "paraded" around in handcuffs after he bought a $1,350 Movado watch for his mother.
Brown remains unconvinced of the bill's effectiveness. "I think it's a marketing ploy," said his lawyer John Elefterakis. "We don't believe that this is a solution. We're moving forward with our lawsuit."
Do you think the bill is a step in the right direction or just an attempt to curry favor with press?

Brilliant Deductions for Vacation Homes
It's tax time again! If you own a second home that you rent to vacationers, you're probably not looking forward to scurrying around trying to figure out how much rental income you collected last year. (The more you made, the more you'll pay to Uncle Sam, right?) But vacation home rental expert Christine Karpinski advises you not to procrastinate much longer. Why? Because the process will yield information you'll need to claim deductions against your rental income on your state and federal income tax returns – so the more thorough your search, the more you'll save.
"The tax rules and deductions for second homeowners who rent out their properties on a short-term basis are complex," says Karpinski, director of Owner Community for HomeAway.com. "Deductions depend on many factors, including how often you personally use your second home, how many nights or a percentage of the nights you rent out your home and your personal adjusted gross income (AGI). It's a lot of information, and as with most big undertakings, it's best to dive right in."
Karpinski, the author of How to Rent Vacation Properties (Kinney Pollack Press, 2007) and Profit from Your Vacation Home Dream: The Complete Guide to a Savvy Financial and Emotional Investment (Kaplan, 2005), says most vacation homeowners are better off using a tax accountant or tax attorney to prepare and file their income taxes.
"Unless you have a strong background in accounting, it's too easy to miss something critical," says Karpinski, adding that all the details can be found in the IRS Publication 527, Residential Rental Property (Including Rental of Vacation Homes). "But that doesn't mean you can't save yourself lots of money by doing some thorough legwork before heading out to the tax preparer's office."
Where to Start
Whether your vacation rental home was profitable or not, you'll surely have many deductions that can be applied to help offset your rental income. Karpinski offers the following list of things you should gather and consider when preparing your income taxes:
Figure out your gross rental revenue. Your gross rental revenue would be all monies collected from renters (and kept). This includes the following:
- Base rental rate
- Cleaning fees
- Parking fees
- Amenity fees
- Pet fees
- Any portion of a security deposit that you keep
(Note that gross rental revenue does not include monies that you return to the renter upon departure, such as refunded deposits, refunded pet deposits and sales taxes collected and paid to your local or state sales tax office.)
"To calculate the base rental rate that a guest paid, divide the total that the renter paid by the tax rate in decimal format (the percentage divided by 100) plus one," Karpinski says. "For example, say you billed your renter for $1,672.50 but cannot remember the base rental rate that you charged (pre-tax). If your sales tax rate is 11.5 percent, take the $1,672.50 and divide it by 1.1150 (your sales tax rate converted to a decimal plus one) and you will come up with $1,500, which is the base rental rate."
Know which costs can be deducted or amortized. Deductions can be made in many of the areas associated with renting out your vacation home. Take a look at the deductions checklist below to make sure you don't miss out on any possible deductions. The best way to use the checklist? Gather up the documents you have for all of the information listed below and provide them to your tax professional, who can determine what is deductible in your situation:
Mortgage, Taxes and Insurance
- Property taxes
- Property insurance
- Hurricane/wind/flood insurance
- Liability insurance
- Mortgage interest
- Private mortgage insurance (PMI)
- Refinance and/or closing fees
Homeowner's Association
- Dues
- Special assessments (may be amortized under capital improvements)
- Travel expenses to attend meetings
Operating Expenses
- Utility bills, including power, gas, water/sewer, phone, cable/satellite TV service, Internet service, etc.
- Housekeeping expenses
- Expenses incurred to repair damages
- Out-of-pocket payments/deductibles for insurance claims
- Maintenance expenses, including pest control, lawn and garden upkeep, preventive maintenance, etc.
- Extra compensations to renters, housekeepers, maintenance (including holiday gifts/bonuses)
- Linens and linen cleaning services
- Supplies, including paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc.
- Travel expenses to your vacation home to do maintenance (must be well documented)
- Meals while you are in your vacation home on "maintenance trips"
- Property management fees and commissions
- Home office expenses, including computer equipment, furnishings, utility bills, etc., based on the percentage of business use vs. personal use (usually a portion based on the percentage of square footage of your home office – for example, if your home is 2,000 square feet and you have a 200-square-foot home office that you use solely for your vacation rental business, then 10 percent of your household expenses may be tax deductible)
Advertising Expenses
- Your ads on HomeAway.com, VRBO.com, CyberRentals.com or any other Web site or advertising vehicle, including any special offers, extra photos, etc.
- Business cards and other printing costs
- Web site building and hosting expenses
- Photography, virtual tours, copywriting services
Capital Improvements and Amortized Items
- Improvements on your home
- Furnishings and décor
- Depreciation deductions
- Tools (hammers, saws, etc.)
- Cameras, computers, cell phones and other equipment necessary to run your vacation rental business
Other Expenses
- Checking account and credit card account administrative fees (for business purposes only)
- Postage for mailing contracts, directions, security deposits, etc.
- Legal fees
- Delivery of your "vacation rental hometown" newspaper
- Income tax preparation
- Educational expenses – seminar attendance and/or books about renting your vacation home
Things to Keep in Mind
Two things you should remember about deductions: First, if you're deducting items that you've purchased, they must be used solely for your vacation rental business in order to be considered deductible. For example, you cannot buy a hammer, nail in one nail and then take it to your primary home and "call it" a deduction for your vacation rental home.
Second, items such as cameras, cell phones, computers, etc., are generally deductible on a percentage of usage basis. For instance, if you use your computer only for inquiries and bookings, then you would likely be able to deduct 100 percent of the cost of that computer. However, if the computer is also a "family computer," only a portion of the cost would be deductible.
"No one looks forward to tax season," Karpinski says. "And it becomes even less appealing when you have a mountain of documents to locate for your vacation rental. But when you get your income tax return check in the mail – or when you see how much less you have to pay out in taxes based on the deductions you've uncovered – you'll agree that the time and effort are well worth it."
Note: The above is intended as a general guideline and should not be construed as tax advice. Be sure to consult your tax professional.

There is always a problem when a band takes the [...] comments of supposed fans seriously, it sometimes ends up screwing up the product. Both "Frozen in Time" and "Xecutioner's Return" were more than decent efforts, especially the latter which gave that band a new guitarist who added another (welcome) dimension to the band. Apparently, some fans didn't like Ralph Santolla's guitar musings either on the album or in concert.
We know find ourselves with "Darker Days" an album that chugs along endlessly with maybe one or two decent solos pushed into the background. The band seems to actively be channeling such duds as "World Demise" or the even more pitiful "Back from the Dead". The songs are played at this kind of hardcore-meets-alternative-rock pace without any catchy hooks or solos or even dirge parts that this band was know for a la "Cause of Death" or "Slowly We Rot". You listen to a song that sounds like it's been playing for ten minutes and realize the track is only three. The only decent songs are the first track and maybe 'This Life' as well as some of the tracks that were already previously included in the "Left to Die" EP -so those don't really count. Really, I'm missing the constant mid-paced tempos with a slow dirge part here or there with an awesome solo (hint: there are no tracks on the "Evil Ways" level here.)
A lame product from a band that could better. Let Ralph Santolla be Ralph Santolla and concentrate on making well-written-to-the-point songs.

YANGON, Myanmar — A strong 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck northern Myanmar on Sunday, collapsing a bridge and a gold mine, damaging several old Buddhist pagodas, and leaving as many as 12 people feared dead.
A slow release of official information left the actual extent of the damage unclear after Sunday morning's strong quake. Myanmar has a poor official disaster-response system, despite having lost upward of 140,000 people to a devastating cyclone in 2008.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The skipper of a fishing vessel was arrested Tuesday in Kodiak, after Alaska State Troopers say he drunkenly assaulted his deckhands and made three crew members decide to abandon ship.
According to a Wednesday AST dispatch, Nevada man Michael A. Clemens, 56, is accused of assaulting the two deckhands, both 22-year-old Pennsylvania men, Monday night about 10 miles southeast of Kodiak.
"At the time of the assault the vessel was commercial fishing in the waters off of Cape Chiniak," troopers wrote. "Clemens was reportedly highly intoxicated. The two victims and a third crew member escaped by taking the seine skiff to Kodiak."
Troopers were informed of the assault at about 9 a.m. Tuesday, catching up with Clemens just before 11 a.m. at the St. Paul boat harbor to arrest him on two counts of fourth-degree domestic-violence assault and one count of operating under the influence.

Problem With Superfish Menus
20 March 2012 at 11:42am
I just cannot get this working.
I have installed the Superfish module - nothing shows up when I run the /dev/build so I have no idea if it is correctly installed.
I have found crumbs here and there of how to implement superfish menus and I have tried them all but nothing seems to work.
The README says:
Installation Instructions
1. Find out how to add modules to SS and add module as per usual. - I am assuming directory name superfish ????
2. copy configurations from this module's _config.php file into mysite/_config.php
When I open the supplied _config.php file I see this:
//copy the lines between the START AND END line to your /mysite/_config.php file and choose the right settings
//===================---------------- START superfish MODULE ----------------===================
//SuperFish::include_code(); // ADD to Page.init() function NOT mysite/_config.php
This seems like lines 1 and 3 give conflicting advice so I have no idea what to do.
Perhaps someone can tell me how this is done (in a noob's way) or point me to a guide on how to do it.
Re: Problem With Superfish Menus
22 March 2012 at 3:47am
Followed this post http://www.silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/7703
Did what Nick Jacobs said here:
In Page.php

<% control Menu(1) %>
<li <% if LinkOrSection = section %>class="current"<% end_if %>>$MenuTitle
<% if Children %>
<% control Children %>

$MenuTitle

<% end_control %>
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>
in Page.ss
pathClass: 'current',
autoArrows: false,
dropShadows: false ,
pathLevels: 3
Just doesn't work for me, completely out of ideas.

Where did you placed your Requirements? In the Page_Controller init() functionI guess? Can you check your source HTML if the files are actually loaded? The paths don't seem quite right to me: you need to calculate them from the website root:
So if you have your superfish.js file somewhere like in /superfish/js/superfish.js, then your requirement should be something like
same goes for the other files..
Re: Problem With Superfish Menus
26 March 2012 at 1:28pm
martimiz I was not actually using those paths, that was an excerpt from Nick Jacobs' response.
However you did give me the answer - for a 'belt and braces' approach I used the absolute paths for those requirements, I forgot SS adds the 'home' path by default.
Once I looked at the page source and corrected the paths I got it working!
Thanks so much!
