The Middle East's real apartheid
By EFRAIM KARSH
03/05/2012 21:19
The Jewish State's supporters find it difficult to agree on the best response to Israel Apartheid Week.

Peace seeking and/or prosperity are no proof of domestic benevolence and equality. The most brutal regimes have peacefully coexisted with their neighbors while repressing their own populations; the most prosperous societies have discriminated against vulnerable minorities. South Africa was hardly impoverished and technologically backward; the United States, probably the most successful and affluent nation in recent times was largely segregated not that long ago.
Nor for that matter is the apartheid libel driven by forgetfulness of Zionism's true nature. It is driven by rejection of Israel's very existence. No sooner had the dust settled on the Nazi extermination camps than the Arabs and their western champions equated the Jewish victims with their tormentors.
"To the Arabs, indeed Zionism seems as hideous as anything the Nazis conceived in the way of racial expansion at the expense of others," read a 1945 pamphlet by the Arab League, the representative body of all Arab states. A pamphlet published by the PLO shortly after its creation in 1964 stated: "The Zionist concept of the 'final solution' to the 'Arab problem' in Palestine, and the Nazi concept of the 'final solution' to the 'Jewish problem' in Germany, consisted essentially of the same basic ingredient: the elimination of the unwanted human element in question."
Indeed, it was the Palestinian terror organization that invented the apartheid canard in the mid-1960s, years before Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
This charge, of course, is not only completely false but the inverse of the truth. If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel actually is the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East – a state whose Arab population enjoys full equality before the law and more prerogatives than most ethnic minorities in the free world, from the designation of Arabic as an official language to the recognition of non-Jewish religious holidays as legal days of rest.
By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and its Arab and Muslim nations continue to legally, politically and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities.
Why then should an innocent party be under constant pressure to "come clean" while the real culprits are not only left unscathed but also given a worldwide platform to blame others for their own crimes? Rather than engage in incessant apologetics and protestations of innocence, something Jews have been doing for far too long, Israel should adopt a proactive strategy, call a spade a spade and target the real perpetrators of Middle East apartheid: the region's Arab and Muslim nations.
Arab/Muslim apartheid comes in many forms, and some victims have been subjected to more than one.
Religious intolerance:
Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all others living under Muslim rule, known as "dhimmis." They have been loath to give up this privileged status in modern times. Christians, Jews and Baha'is remain second-class citizens throughout the Arab/Muslim world, and even non-ruling Muslim factions have been oppressed by their dominant co-religionists (e.g. Shi'ites in Saudi Arabia, Sunnis in Syria).
• Ethnic inequality:
This historic legacy of intolerance extends well beyond the religious sphere. As longtime imperial masters, Arabs, Turks and Iranians continue to treat long-converted populations, notably Kurds and Berbers, that retained their language, culture and social customs, as inferior.
• Racism:
The Middle East has become the foremost purveyor of anti-Semitic incitement in the world with the medieval blood libel widely circulated alongside a string of modern canards (notably The Protocols of the Elders of Zion) depicting Jews as the source of all evil.
Likewise, Africans of sub-Saharan descent are held in deep contempt, a vestige of the region's historic role as epicenter of the international slave trade.
• Gender discrimination:
Legal and social discrimination against women is pervasive throughout the Arab-Islamic world, accounting for rampant violence (for example domestic violence or spousal rape are not criminalized) and scores of executions every year, both legal and extra-judicial (i.e. honor killings). Discrimination against homosexuals is even worse.
• Denial of citizenship:
The withholding of citizenship and attendant rights from a large segment of the native-born population is common. Palestinian communities in the Arab states offer the starkest example of this discrimination (in Lebanon, for example, they cannot own property, be employed in many professions, move freely, etc.). The Bidun (stateless peoples) in the Gulf states, and hundreds of thousands of Kurds in Syria have been subjected to similar discrimination.
• Labor inequality:
Mistreatment of foreign workers (especially household servants), ranging from sexual abuse to virtual imprisonment and outright murder, is widely tolerated throughout the Middle East, especially in oil-exporting countries that host large expatriate labor forces.
• Slavery:
The Arabic-speaking countries remain the world's foremost refuge of slavery, from child and sex trafficking in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states to actual chattel slavery in Sudan and Mauritania. Indeed, Islamists throughout the Middle East have had no qualms advocating the legalization of slavery.
• Political Oppression:
Many Middle Eastern regimes are little more than elaborate repressive systems aimed at perpetuating apartheid-style domination by a small minority: Alawites in Syria; Tikritis in Saddam's Iraq; the Saudi royal family; the Hashemite dynasty in Jordan.
Possibly the world's most arresting anachronism, these endemic abuses have until now escaped scrutiny and condemnation. Western governments have been loath to antagonize their local authoritarian allies, while the educated classes have absolved Middle Easterners of responsibility for their actions in the patronizing tradition of the "white man's burden," dismissing regional players as half-witted creatures, too dim to be accountable for their own fate.
It is time to denounce these discriminatory practices and force Arab/Muslim regimes to abide by universally accepted principles of decency and accountability. This will not only expose the hollowness of the Israel delegitimization campaign but will also help promote regional peace and stability.
History has shown that gross and systemic discrimination is a threat not just to the oppressed minorities, but also to the political health of the societies that oppress them. Only when Arab and Muslim societies treat the "other" as equal will the Middle East, and the rest of the Islamic world, be able to transcend its malaise and look forward to a real political and social spring.

So what the street price for a used washing machine?
on Sep 20, 2013 at 4:47 pm
Good question -- you would think it would be a bit, eh, difficult to fence a washing machine...
on Sep 21, 2013 at 6:20 am
Odd crime. Maybe college kids trying to furnish their new place?
I would think this was going to be used, not sold, but who knows. Crackheads can come up with funny ideas sometimes.

single finger head on a amber with yellow hues body. Nice lacing. wet sick hop aroma, musty. Flavor is floral and earthy with nice spicy cutris notes. These hops are more similar to centennial hops than I suspected. this is my first all cascade hop IPA. Moderate to high carbonation and medium body. Semi dry finish. Overall I prefered this to the all centennial hop IPA at this particular brewery.

A - Poured with one finger of of white foam on top of a slightly hazy, copper colored body. The head settles quickly and leaves light lace.
S - Pine and citrus with a musty component. Some caramel and toffee in the background.
T - Toffee up front with some bready sweetness creeping in towards the middle. Pine and grapefruit at the end with thick malt and moderate bitterness.
M - Medium body, moderate carbonation, and a slightly sweet finish.
D - A nice old school IPA with lots of pine. The malt is thick and never lets the hops overwhelm the palate. I prefer Intuition's other IPAs, but I can't find much to complain about here.

Not much else is known about the game, including what platforms it will end up on, but at this point it's reasonably safe to assume at least PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and perhaps PC.
Enough speculation though, watch the cinematic teaser trailer and see for yourself.

Today was the first day that Stanley wasn't in my class this year. He'd been absent before. He'd been tardy more times than I could count, but this was the first day that I knew that he wouldn't be coming. Stanley moved. There was even a little note on my roll sheet that said "transferred."
Will I miss him? Not for a while. I confess that the time I saved simply not having to remind him not to lean back in his chair today earned me (and subsequently the rest of the class) an extra five minutes. I didn't have to have this discussion either: "Stanley, take out your spelling book." "I'm fixin' to." "Please do it now." "I'm fixin' to." "Please stop 'fixin' and get it out so the rest of the class can move on." "I'm fixin' to."
By the end of the day, there was a number of things I was "fixin'" to do to Stanley. I begged and bargained and pleaded and hollered and joked and encouraged and used all the management tricks I could recall to try and cajole a good day out of him. I threatened phone calls home when he came without homework and refused to do it during recess. I tried any number of times to reach his mother to set up a conference to talk about his behavior and grades. He had all the classic kid dodges, including the most obvious one - his mom just didn't care enough to make the time to connect with his teacher. His was the one report card that went unclaimed from the first grading period.
Last week Stanley's mom came up to the school long enough to transfer him to another school in another town. I'm not going to have to send him next door to the second grade class for time-outs anymore. I'm not going to have to show him the difference between "b" and "d" anymore. I'm not going to be teaching Stanley anymore. In my class, each student has his or her name on a popsicle stick that we use to pick teams or who will answer the next question. We also have clothespins with each student's name on a behavior chart - Stanley's spent a lot of time down the "Warning" quadrant. On Friday I handed him his popsicle stick and his clothespin. I told him that I was his teacher now, and I always would be. I told him that I wanted him to make me proud of him.
Do I miss Stanley? Not yet. But I will.

Au Revoir, Stanley

I couldn't find an appropriately praiseful adjective that didn't sound ridiculous, but still wanted to say that your writing is [insert missing term here] when you talk about teaching, especially about your students.
AMEN you are so blessed!
Now you can teach to the children that really want to learn.
The praiseful adjectives would be another bad seed bites the dust!

Given the importance of developing reliable and valid measures in the psychology of religion, and recent growing interest in developing empirical studies within an Islamic context, the present study discusses the properties of two specially designed instruments: the Sahin-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Islam and the Sahin Index of Islamic Moral Values. Data were provided by a sample of 1,199 students, selected from secondary schools in six educational districts in Kuwait. The sample comprised 603 males and 596 females; 812 were 17 years of age and 387 were 18 years of age. The data support the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of both instruments and commend them for further research.

ALL digging on the Stanford University campus (utilities excavations, tent staking, construction, etc.) requires a call to Underground Service Alert:
Maps and Records, in its service to Stanford University complies with the following laws:
Mutual Agreement
If excavators indicate that Power Equipment will be used within two feet of an existing Utility, Senate Bill 2416 requires that excavators obtain mutual agreement with Utility Operators. Maps and Records coordinates this process with Utilities Division operators.
High Priority Facilities
If excavators indicate their excavation site within 10 feet of a high priority facility, Senate Bill 2416 requires that a field meeting occur. Maps and Records coordinates this process with Utilities Division operators.
See also:
Prior to your call to USA, outline your digging location with white chalk paint or another manner sufficient to enable underground facility members to determine the area of digging to be field marked.
Two (2) working days before your planned digging. USA suggest placing calls on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday afternoons (for the following week's requests) to avoid communication delays.
Please have the following information on hand when you call USA:
At the end of your call, you will be given a ticket number referencing your digging number. Hold on to this number in case you need to call USA back.
Your USA number will only be valid for 14 calendar days from the day you called it in. If your digging is continuing past the active 14 calendar day period, call USA back two days prior to the expiration of your ticket.
After placing your call, Maps and Records will respond within 2 working days or otherwise make contact with you in case we need additional time. Additional time of 2 days is needed when projects require Mutual Agreement (projects within 2 feet of an existing utility) or, if we are marking High priority facilities (projects within 10 feet of an existing high priority facility).
If you need to reach us, please contact:
Jay Marianowits, (650) 725-0746
Backup staff and a contractor are also in place.
In response to your ticket, the USA members will either:
After the USA members have field marked their facilities, you are required to notify USA anytime those markings are no longer reasonably visible.
Before you use power equipment, expose the underground facilities in conflict by hand. See MARKING GUIDELINES for hand digging requirements.

*Portland sportscaster Lamar Hurd is vying to become ABC's first African American "Bachelor."
For 16 seasons, the show has featured single white men or women selecting a mate from a pool of eligible applicants who compete for his or her love — and possibly a marriage proposal on the season finale. On "The Bachelor" shows in particular, it gets a little catty in the house with nothing but women going after the same man. Crazy.
There are usually one or two people of color among the contestants competing for the final rose. But black women are usually eliminated early on.
Creator Mike Fleiss, however, said it was never his intention for the show to be so white.
"It's just that for whatever reason, they don't come forward. I wish they would," he told Entertainment Weekly.
Well, at least one person has come forward. If things work out, Lamar Hurd (pictured above) would be the first black bachelor on the show. Learn all about Lamar's quest via the video below.
As we wait, one must beg the question, is America really ready to watch a bunch of white women scrap over a black man? And how will black women react to it?

From a SIS perspective after XX will have sent the notification (initial 6 months black out from September till March 2012), there will be another 6 months after which you will not accept incoming paper invoices, so earliest September 2012.
Dear Walter and Christian,
I think you are mixing up the F12 blocking rule and the rule of removing the paper. Please note the difference between these two:
Removing the paper
Migrate carriers can stop sending paper invoices as early as 3 months after they have migrated. Please also note that the ACH has also decided to remove the paper immediately after migration. Please also see the FAQ section on the SIS website where this topic was covered.
Blocking ICH F12 claims
Migrated carriers may also call the option of blocking ICH F12 claims from non-migrated carriers. This can be in effect after a 6-month hold plus a 6-month notice. So the earliest time at which this option can be in effect is Sept 2012.
Please refer to the post Grace period for inward and outward billings in the Rules, Policies, and Codes discussion board, where both of these topics were discussed.
Hope that clarifies.
Kind regards,

Dear colleagues,
we have received from different source following statement:
During first year of SIS live you must accept current incoming billing, in Sept 2012 the earliest you can refuse the paper medium, as long as you send the notification six months in advance.
could you please be so kind and verify this procedure if in line with your regulations.

Judge: Inspectors May Enter Meridian Public SchoolsBy Jeffrey Hess | Published 26 Mar 2012 04:05pm |
Starting today investigators from the US Department of Justice will be be touring Meridian Public Schools to investigate claims that the school system is unfairly punishing black students for minor offenses. MPB's Jeffrey Hess reports that the inspections follow a ruling by a federal judge in Jackson yesterday.
For years, Parents have been making allegations that black students in Meridian Public Schools have been receiving huge punishments for minor infractions compared to their white counter parts.
John Harris, the president of the Meridian Chapter of the NAACP, believes the investigation will back up the anecdotal reports.
"And the numbers will be seen because they can examine the books now. I think once you examine the books you will be able to see how many were sent to the juvenile center, how many have been disciplined, what where they disciplined for. And then you will be able to see," Harris said.
A federal judge in Hinds County ruled that the school system must allow federal attorneys and two education experts access to all the schools in the county, as well as discipline statistics, to check out the claims.
Attorneys for the school district declined to comment on the ruling after the hearing.
But in court, school district Attorney Holmes Adams told Judge Henry Wingate that the inspectors would be disruptive to the class room, saying "As you can imagine, an entourage of 5, 6, or 7 people, when the door opens and these adults walk in this is a disruption. Time is lost"
The district is willing to cooperate, Adams said, but felt the same goal could be reached through depositions with school leaders and a review of disciplinary data.
Government attorneys say they need firsthand experience of a normal school day.
To which Judge Wingate ask "it wouldn't be exactly normal if you are going around with an entourage".
Still, the judge pointed to a previous set of inspections from 2008 that did not cause a major disruption as evidence enough to allow them in again.
The Meridian Public school district is 86 percent black.
Meridian NAACP president John Harris hopes the investigation leads a better relationship between the school district and students.
"The Department of Justice and whoever else is involved can put their heads together to formulate a plan that we can stop this vicious cycle. And we can do something to improve our education system and improve community relationships with our school," Harris said.
Inspectors will be in the schools through Friday.

C/W MARS, the automated library network to which Northborough belongs, will be taking down the system on the weekend of Memorial Day, May 26-28 to install new software. Library users will still be able to see the catalog, but will not be able to place holds or access accounts. Any new books or DVDs that the library acquires after May 11 won't show in the catalog.
The new screens for the catalog will look very different, and the library "will help you get used to them, though they will be new to us, too!"
There will be more search capabilities as compared with the old system.
"If you routinely check your own record to see when your books are due, to renew your books, and to place books on hold, you will have a new log-in with your library card number and last name (in uppercase letters). You will be able to change your password after your first visit. If you want to keep your reading history and wish list, you need to download them before that weekend."

By Jade Bulecza - bio | email VALDOSTA, GA (WALB) -
If you visit a south Georgia water park, you can feel safe knowing some of the best lifeguards in the country are watching you.
Splash Island Water Park at Wild Adventures got a superior evaluation in lifeguarding during surprise audits. Two lifeguards at Wild Adventures were named "Golden Guards" after water safety consultants secretly visited Wild Adventures Splash Island Water Park.
"Ellis comes in unannounced," said Derek Newham, Operations Supervisor of Splash Island. "They look just like guests when they come in. They actually videotape our lifeguards while they're on stand and check out their professionalism."
Jeff Ellis and Associates is an international aquatic safety firm that designed a water park lifeguard training course. Many parks around the world use the course as a basis for their safety standards.
"The 10/20 rule means they have 10 seconds to scan the entire area," said Newham. "Then, they have to have an additional 20 seconds to reach the guest and render care."
Lifeguards must continuously move their head to check the entire pool.
To become a lifeguard at the water park candidates must train a minimum of 24 hours and continuously train throughout their employment.
Jake Bentley is one of the Golden Guards. He says he's proud to receive the honor and enjoys the responsibility of lifeguarding.
"You take on the lives of thousands of hundreds of people," said Jake Bentley, Golden Guard recipient. "At any moment something could happen and you have to perform everything you were taught beat by beat."
Brett Ratlift also received the Golden Guard honor. Approximately 50 lifeguards across the country receive this recognition each year.
Not only are Splash Island lifeguards evaluated on an international level, but they're also evaluated each day by instructors around the park.
When the park is open, there are 45 lifeguards on duty.

Anyway, I was in Chapters the other day reading Vogue Living: Gardens Houses People and I came across the residence of Consuelo Castiglioni, designer of Marni. I die. It's the perfect bohemian luxe Spanish getaway. I especially love the kitchen's juxtaposition between modern materials and rustic comfort style decor.
I also saw this picture in the Christian Dior Cruise 2012 campaign. My ideal vanity. And the hunt continues for a bedroom renovation...

Well, with Utah in the fray, the concept of a PAC football championship is pretty much a foregone conclusion. In reading about the experiences of other conferences in their respective championship games, it strikes me that venue/location have a major role to play in the success (or lack thereof) of the championship.
Since the PAC Championship in basketball was resurrected, I think it's been an overwhelming success - for the fans. The Staples venue and set-up are great, and the LA location allows for every fan base to be represented. While many coaches downplay the role that the conference tournament play in prepping for March, as a fan, I have enjoyed it every year. I strongly believe that the venue and location chosen for the tournament play a big part in why the tournament has been such a fun event. My fan experience and opinion would be dramatically different if we were playing in the LB Pyramid or Forum.
So, how can the PAC institute a championship game in football while still catering to the fan experience and avoid some of the perceived pitfalls of what the ACC product has become? In my opinion, it comes down to location, location, location.
Without a NFL stadium in the greater LA area, it makes translating the basketball blueprint more difficult. I don't really see a slam dunk venue currently, so I thought I would create a poll to see where BN would like to see the championship game be played.

George Will: Marriage and federal jurisprudence
- U.S. Supreme Court? Sherrer v. Sherrer (1948)
The Defense of Marriage Act is an exception to the rule that a law's title is as uninformative about the law's purpose as the titles of Marx Brothers movies ("Duck Soup," "Horse Feathers," "Animal Crackers") are about those movies' contents. DOMA's purpose is precisely what its title says. Which is why many conservatives and liberals should be uneasy next Wednesday when the Supreme Court hears arguments about DOMA's constitutionality.
Conservatives who supported DOMA should, after 17 years reflection, want the act overturned because its purpose is constitutionally improper. Liberals who want the act struck down should be discomfited by the reason the court should give when doing this.
DOMA, which in 1996 passed the House 342-67 and the Senate 85-14, defines marriage for the purpose of federal law as a legal union between one man and one woman. Because approximately 1,100 federal laws pertain to marriage, DOMA's defenders argue that Congress merely exercised its power to define a term used in many statutes. But before 1996, federal statutes functioned without this definition, which obviously was adopted for the "defense" of marriage against state policies involving a different definition. "Before DOMA," an amicus brief submitted by a group of federalism scholars notes, "federal law took state law as it found it."
The question now is whether DOMA is "necessary and proper" for the exercise of a constitutionally enumerated congressional power. There is no such power pertaining to marriage. This subject is a state responsibility, a tradition established and validated by what can be called constitutional silence: The Tenth Amendment says "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
The amicus brief takes no position on same-sex marriage as social policy. Rather, it addresses a question that should obviate the need to address the question of whether DOMA violates the constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the laws. The threshold question is: Does the federal government have the power that DOMA's preamble proclaims, the power "to define and protect the institution of marriage"?
DOMA's obvious purpose is, as the scholars' brief says, "to reject state governments' policy judgments." Its purpose is to endorse, and to some extent enforce, the traditional understanding of marriage. The scholars' brief says:
"Congress may regulate in this area to the extent necessary to further its enumerated powers. But it may not simply reject the states' policy judgments as if it had the same authority to make domestic-relations law as they do. That is the difference between a government with a general police power and a government of limited and enumerated powers."
Professor Ernest A. Young of the Duke Law School, the principal author of the federalism brief, says the operation of DOMA cannot help but burden states because "federal and state law are pervasively intertwined." To understand the harm that could be done by an unlimited federal power to define the terms of domestic-relations law, Young recalls when a few states, venturing beyond the national consensus, began experimenting with no-fault divorce. Suppose, Young says, Congress passed a statute refusing recognition, for purposes of federal law, of any divorce where neither party made a showing of fault:
"The couple would continue to be treated as married for purposes of federal income tax, health care programs, and veterans' benefits. Imagine the chaos this would wreak in the administration of state programs, and the pressure it would impose on states not to experiment with divorce law."
As the scholars' brief says, DOMA "shatters two centuries of federal practice" by creating "a blanket federal marital status that exists independent of states' family-status determinations." Federalism, properly respected, enables diversity as an alternative to a congressionally imposed, continent-wide moral uniformity. Allowing Washington to impose such conformity would ratify unprecedented federal supremacy regarding domestic relations, a power without judicially administrable limits. By striking down DOMA - by refusing to defer to Congress' usurpation of states' powers - the court would defer to 50 state governments, including the 38 that today prohibit same-sex marriage.
Liberals praise diversity but generally urge courts to permissively construe the Constitution in order to validate federal power to impose continental uniformities. DOMA is such an imposition. Liberals may be rescued from it by jurisprudence true to conservative principles, properly understood.

San Ramon resident and retired banker Nido Paras loves to see the world through a different lens.
"I love to travel and I like the excitement and seeing foreign countries and people and culture," he said. "I've been taking pictures since I was in my teens and I have always combined it with my traveling."
Paras' most recent trip, a 13-day tour of Turkey in October, had the 68-year-old and his wife in 18 cities, including "vibrant and exotic Istanbul, the timeless region of Cappadocia" and a day of sailing around the Mediterranean. The resulting vivacious and colorful photos make up "Turkey in Focus," a tribute to the country's people, landscape and ancient sites.
"Everywhere I met wonderful people descended from this long and complex history and the modern nation .at the crossroads of Europe and Asia," who has said that he was drawn to Turkey because he wanted to see the connection between modern and ancient worlds.
"Turkey in Focus" will be on display at the Lindsay Dirkx Brown Gallery inside the San Ramon Community Center (12501 Alcosta Blvd.) through April 28. An artist's reception will be held at the gallery on Saturday, April 9 from 4 - 6 p.m. Paras will be on hand to answer questions about his photographs and travels.

Burial of Jesus:
Jesus burial is important because without it, there can be no tomb from which Jesus can arise in three days. Its also historically implausible: crucifixion was intended as a shameful, horrible execution which included allowing the bodies to remain nailed up until they rotted off. Its inconceivable that Pilate would have agreed to turn the body over to anyone for any reason. This may have something to do with why the gospel authors all have different stories about it.
How Long Was Jesus in the Tomb?:
Jesus is portrayed as being dead and in the tomb for a given length time, but how long?
Mark 10:34 - Jesus says he will rise again after three days.
Matthew 12:40 - Jesus says he will be in the earth three days and three nights...
No resurrection narrative describes Jesus as being in a tomb for three full days, or for three days and three nights.
Guarding the Tomb:
Would the Romans have guarded Jesus tomb? The gospels disagree on what happened.
Matthew 27:62-66 - A guard is stationed outside the tomb the day after Jesus burial
Mark, Luke, John - No guard is mentioned. In Mark and Luke, the women who approach the tomb do not appear to expect to see any guards
Jesus is Anointed Before Burial:
It was tradition to anoint a persons body after they died. Who anointed Jesus and when?
Mark 16:1-3, Luke 23:55-56 - A group of women who were at Jesus burial come back later to anoint his body
Matthew - Joseph wraps the body and the women come the next morning, but no mention is made of anointing Jesus
John 19:39-40 - Joseph of Arimathea anoints Jesus body before burial
Who Visited Jesus Tomb?:
The women visiting Jesus tomb is central to the resurrection story, but who visited?
Mark 16:1 - Three women visit Jesus tomb: Mary Magdalene, a second Mary, and Salome
Matthew 28:1 - Two women visit Jesus tomb: Mary Magdalene and another Mary
Luke 24:10 - At least five women visit Jesus tomb: Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, and other women.
John 20:1 - One woman visits Jesus tomb: Mary Magdalene. She later fetches Peter and another disciple
When Did the Women Visit the Tomb?:
Whoever visited and however many there were, its also not clear when they arrived.
Mark 16:2 - They arrive after sunrise
Matthew 28:1 - They arrive at about dawn
Luke 24:1 - It is early dawn when they arrive
John 20:1 - It is dark when they arrive
What Was the Tomb Like?:
Its not clear what the women saw when they arrived at the tomb.
Mark 16:4, Luke 24:2, John 20:1 - The stone in front of Jesus tomb had been rolled away
Matthew 28:1-2 - The stone in front of Jesus tomb was still in place and would be rolled away later
Who Greets the Women?:
The women arent alone for long, but its not clear who greets them.
Mark 16:5 - The women enter the tomb and meet one young man in there
Matthew 28:2 - An angel arrives during an earthquake, rolls away the stone, and sits on it outside. Pilates guards are also there
Luke 24:2-4 - The women enter the tomb and two men suddenly appear its not clear if they are inside or outside
John 20:12 - The women do not enter the tomb, but there are two angels sitting inside
What Do the Women Do?:
Whatever happened, it must have been pretty amazing. The gospels are inconsistent in how the women react, though.
Mark 16:8 - The women keep quiet, despite being told to spread the word
Matthew 28:8 - The women go tell the disciples
Luke 24:9 - The women tell the eleven and to all the rest.
John 20:10-11 - Mary stays to cry while the two disciples just go home

CHICAGO (AP) -- Marian Hossa scored twice to back a strong effort by goalie Corey Crawford, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Minnesota Wild 5-1 Thursday night to win their first-round playoff series 4-1.
Chicago sent the Wild home for the season with a dominating 5-1 victory Thursday night, clinching the series four games to one.
The Wild controlled the pace of the game until Kyle Brodziak lost track of Marian Hossa, who took a pass just inside the left circle and ripped a shot past Josh Harding for a 1-0 lead at 15:39 of the first period.
At 3:19 of the second period, Harding gave up a soft goal on a wrap-around shot by Marcus Kruger.
Head coach Mike Yeo said that was the goal that "kind of did us in."
Chicago would add to the series-clinching drubbing with a 5-on-3 power play goal in the third — scored by Patrick Sharp, who led all players in the series with five goals.
The Wild's top line and power play unit once again failed to click. Zach Parise finished the series with an ugly minus-7 rating. As a team, the Wild was 0-17 on the power play (0-2 in Game 5).

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – A consulting firm is suing Val Kilmer for allegedly failing to pay nearly $130,000 for financial services related to an IRS lien on his former ranch on the Pecos River in New Mexico.
In 2010, the IRS went after the actor for back taxes and placed a lien on several of his properties, including a roughly 5,300-acre ranch near Santa Fe he bought in 2009 and sold for about $18.5 million in 2011.
Arizona-based Executive Consulting Inc. claims it was hired to help Kilmer with that and filed a breach of contract lawsuit Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
A similar lawsuit filed in state court New Mexico in March was transferred to federal court.
A representative for the 53-year-old "Batman Forever" actor could not be reached for immediate comment.
According to the complaint, Kilmer hired the company in March 2011 "in hopes he could employ the plaintiff to provide business consulting services."
Kilmer agreed to pay fees of $625 per hour and $3,000 per day, plus costs and travel expenses, the suit states.
The firm implemented business plans for Kilmer for three months in 2011 and is owed an unpaid balance of $128,466, the suit states.
Kilmer still owns 141 acres in the area but sold the bulk of the property to a Texas oil executive who is developing a trout-fishing resort.

Recently I made a reactionary fanpost to the outcome of the Bigfoot and Overeem fight at UFC 159 where i said Bigfoot should rematch Overeem immediately because he got a flash KO win over Overeem. I would like to admit that I was wrong and that Silva's win puts him in the running for a UFC title shot. He also, should be ranked higher than 7th in the MMA rankings.
Thinking back on Silva's Strikeforce and UFC career he has only lost to Cormier, Velasquez, and Werdum. three of the top 4 Heavyweights in the world. He has beaten Arlovski, Fedor, and Overeem who all three at the time were top 10 guys and he hasn't really had any gimme fights in his careere under Zuffa controlled organizations.
I still think Overeem acted like an cocky idiot in that fight, but Silva would not have decisively lost that fight if it had gone to a decision.
Here is my current opinion of the heavyweight division.
Champion: Cain Velasquez
1. Daniel Cormier
2. Jinior Dos Santos
3. Fabricio Werdum
5. Frank Mir
7. Josh Barnett
9. Roy Nelson
10. Stefan Struve

vacation rental description
Don't miss out on this very short
season and Maine: the way life should be...book immediately for best selection.
Our cottage is on a tidal cove with deep water at our dock even at low tide. Kayak or fish right from our float. Watch the lobster boats come and go. Enjoy an evening fire in our fabulous firepit.
Close to the beautiful sandy beaches and trails at Reid State Park (park pass included with rental).
Near quaint Five Islands Harbor and Wharf where you can enjoy Maine
lobster and hand made ice cream. This cottage provides the perfect
setting to sit back and relax, but is close enough to do more if you
choose. Historic Bath and the Maine Maritime Museum are just 20
minutes away and famous Freeport shopping (including LL Bean) is
only about 40 minutes.
Our rustic cottage has 3 bedrooms (sleeps 4 adults, 3 children), 1
bath, full kitchen, living room and eating area. It boasts two
decks, dock, float, a grassy play area and 5.5 acres of woods. For
the boater and water enthusiast there are 200' of frontage on the
Little Sheepscot River (saltwater) and our float and three moorings
available for power or sail boats. There are currently two kayaks
available for use at your own risk.
If you choose to come during our early season or late season, you
will get the beaches and hiking trails to yourself. It doesn't get
much better than a good book, a warm stove, sitting in our family
room watching the tide come in during the early summer months. If
you are lucky in the fall you'll enjoy "indian summer" and
incredible foliage - not to mention incredible rates.

Some College Essay topic's really blow. I am just starting to look and pre-write a few of them. I think I am going to go with the essay about "someone who has made an impact on your life and how this person is important to you".
As of right now, my plan is to go to a UT feed school(UT Dallas?) for one or two years. Then try and get into McCombs School of Business in Austin. Obviously, UT's school of business is one of the best in the country and highly competitive.
I know I want to do some type of Business Management, maybe Sports Management.
The reason I made this diary is because I know all of you went or are going to college.
ANY advise or say on college essay's, admissions or anything college would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance.
