Azerbaijani presidential election, 2013
Presidential elections were held in Azerbaijan on 9 October 2013.[1] The result was a victory for incumbent President Ilham Aliyev, who received 84.5% of the vote, whilst leading opposition candidate Jamil Hasanli finished second with 5.5% of the vote.
The election was marred by claims of irregularities; official results were accidentally released by the government's Central Election Commission through a mobile app before voting began, giving incumbent Aliyev a victory with 72.38% of the vote.[2] The commission later recalled the results, claiming that they were taken from the 2008 elections.[2] This claim was been disputed, given that the results accidentally released included the candidates from the 2013 elections,[2] and that the percentages differed from the 2008 results.
All previous elections in Azerbaijan observed by OSCE fell short of meeting international standards.[3]
In 2009 an amendment was made to the Constitution of Azerbaijan, which abolished the limit of two consecutive presidential terms and allowed incumbent Aliyev, who had already served for two terms, to run for president for unlimited number of times.[4] The constitutional amendment was condemned by the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe, which stated that "the abolition of existing limits preventing the unlimited re-election of a President is a step back, in terms of democratic achievements".[5][6] The amendment was also criticized by the Azerbaijani opposition.[7] On the basis of the amendment in 2013 Ilham Aliyev ran for president for the third time.
After his visit to Azerbaijan the President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Jean-Claude Mignon called on the authorities to fully respect their obligations.[8]
On 7 June 2013 the New Azerbaijan Party nominated incumbent President Ilham Aliyev as their official presidential candidate.[9][10] MP Mubariz Gurbanli announced that according to the Election Code of Azerbaijan Republic, the party had not only filled its signature requirements but could get more than the minimum 40,000 required signatures. He said: "The signature lists have been ready for already 4-5 days, but they can be submitted to the Central Election Commission starting from 20 August, that is, 50 days before the elections under the legislation. So, our employees will submit the signature lists to CEC tomorrow. Under the law, the CEC will issue a document confirming the candidate's participation in the elections after it reviews them."[11]
In the meantime, playwright Rustam Ibragimbekov was chosen as the leader of the newly created National Council of Democratic Forces. The NCDF brought together main opposition forces, including Musavat, the Azerbaijani Popular Front Party, Open Society, Forum of Intellectuals. The alliance set as its main goal the "peaceful transition to democracy."[12][13] Ibragimbekov was denied registration by the Central Election Commission because he "along with the citizenship of Azerbaijan, also of Russian citizenship and his commitment to the Russian Federation."[14][15]
In late August, the united opposition picked historian Jamil Hasanli as its candidate.[16] During the rally on September 28, Hasanli called on people to vote for him to "end the dictatorship of one family in Azerbaijan."[17] A day before the election, main opposition candidate Jamil Hasanli stated that he is "running in this election with the paramount aim of ending 20 years of the Aliyev dynasty's misrule of my country, and restoring Azerbaijani democracy."[18]
An official smartphone app run by the Central Election Commission inadvertently released final election results a day before polls had opened. The results showed Ilham Aliyev having won with 72.76% of the recorded votes, while the nearest opposing candidate, Jamil Hasanli, tallied just 7.4%. The data was recalled, with an official claim that the app's developer had mistakenly tested the app with the 2008 election results, but the data released did not match the voter totals nor percentages of the previous election.[19][20][21]
On 10 October Hasanli called for the results to be annulled due to vote-rigging, claiming the elections were not free and fair because of electoral fraud and government control of all television channels.[22]

- International organizations
- Council of Europe — The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe short-term (4 days) delegation in the statement issued jointly with the European Parliament said that "overall around election day we have observed a free, fair and transparent electoral process."[23]
- Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe /Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights— The OSCE/ODIHR observation mission, which consisted of 13 Baku-based international experts and 30 long-term observers,[24] criticized the electoral process in their conclusions saying that it "was undermined by limitations on the freedoms of expression, assembly, and association that did not guarantee a level playing field for candidates."[25] The head of mission stated that their "observers received allegations of intimidation, witnessed even physical attacks on journalists in the lead up to an election day, which we found seriously flawed."[26]
- European Union The Statement made by the EU High Representative and Security Policy Catherine Ashton and Commissioner Štefan Füle on Presidential elections in Azerbaijan stressed the results of the OSCE/ODIHR observation mission, "the OSCE/ODIHR's preliminary conclusions state that significant problems were observed throughout all stages of election day processes, and identify serious shortcomings"[27]
- States
- United States — The State Department said that the election "fell short of international standards." The statement, which aligned with the position of the OSCE/ODIHR, also named the procedural irregularities such as 1) ballot box stuffing; 2) serious problems with vote counting; and 3) failure to record the number of received ballots. "Leading up to election day, the Government of Azerbaijan also maintained a repressive political environment. Authorities interfered with the media and civil society routinely, sometimes violently interrupted peaceful rallies and meetings before and occasionally during the campaign period, and jailed a number of opposition and youth activists."[28]
- France — Senator Thani Mohamed Soilihi, who observed the election, said that he does not "see any difference in the election processes of our countries [France and Azerbaijan]."[29]
Azerbaijani officials have bashed those who criticizes their elections. The Chief of Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan Ramiz Mehdiyev, accused the US officials in recommending them to rig the elections to show that the incumbent President Ilham Aliyev was winning with 75% of the votes and to give 25% to the opposition candidate, to make it look believable.[30] Mehdiyev also attempted to deflect the international condemnation by claiming the U.S. elections are illegitimate. The United States denied these accusations, terming them "completely false".[31]
International scandal[edit]
The controversial assessments by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe/European Parliament and OSCE/ODIHR sparked a major scandal, as for the first time the reports of these authoritative European organizations openly contradicted one other.[32] Further, many European experts and parliamentarians, among them also deputies of the European Parliament, harshly criticized the reports of the European Parliament and PACE as being biased.[33][34][35][36] The Socialist Group in the European Parliament has distanced itself from the words of the observer mission EP / PACE, stating that the differences between the findings of the delegation of parliamentarians and the OSCE are so far away that it cannot be supported at all.[37] The Greens/EFA Group of the European Parliament said that they do not endorse the statements made by the EP delegation. The Green foreign affairs spokesperson Werner Schulz said,
The shortcomings of EP's own election observation mission to Azerbaijan call into question the existence of such short-term missions in general... The European Parliament loses credibility with statements ignoring the reality of the situation in the country. A handful of MEPs are endangering the European Parliament's reputation in fighting for human rights, democracy and rule of law.[38]
European Stability Initiative (ESI) think tank has published a detailed report on observation missions participating in Azerbaijani elections 2013 titled "Disgraced: Azerbaijan and the end of election monitoring as we know it". The report, which was the third one of its kind on Azerbaijan issued by ESI,[39] highlighted the drawbacks of international short-term observer missions, bringing up facts on that many election observers were either bribed by the Azerbaijani government or had some other vested interest in praising the fraudulent elections.[40] Other attempts to investigate the sources of funding of the organizations that observed the elections in Azerbaijan, have proved to be futile, which further reinforced the suspicion that their "experts" were funded by Azerbaijan.[41]
On 12 October around 4,000 people protested against the election results. About ten protesters were arrested, while others were beaten.[42]

Portsmouth woman pleads guilty to hindering murder probe, will testify against boyfriend
Kathryn "Kat" McDonough, 19, of Portsmouth, breaks down during her sentencing hearing Thursday in Rockingham County Superior Court. (POOL/Rich Beauchesne/Portsmouth Herald)
Brittany Atwood, Marriott's girlfriend, was the last person to communicate with Marriott around 8:55 p.m. on the night she disappeared. Atwood received a text message from Marriott saying she was going to her friend's "Kat's" house, investigators said.
McDonough broke down and wept during Atwood's statement to the court.
Hannah said McDonough couldn't understand why McDonough took no action to prevent the murder from happening.
Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley said McDonough was in a relationship that was "manipulative and dominated by Mazzaglia," but that it was no excuse for her actions before and after the murder.
McDonough initially told police on Oct. 12 that she made plans for Marriott to come over to her apartment, but Marriott never showed. The two women had struck up a friendship while working at a Target department store in Greenland.
Hinckley said that investigators later learned that McDonough had called a woman named Roberta Gerkin on Mazzaglia's cell phone on the night of Oct. 9 around 10:50 p.m. and asked her to come over to their Dover apartment.
After Mazzaglia was arrested, McDonough met up with Gerkin in Portsmouth on Nov. 7 and asked her to tell police that she never went inside the apartment. State police were recording the conversation between the women.
Discussions with family
Hinckley said on Thursday that the terms of the sentence were appropriate given the facts of the case.
"No sentence is ever going to be good enough for the victim or the victim's family in this case," Hinckley said outside the courtroom after the hearing.
Marriott's body has not been found despite a widespread search by state, local and federal investigators. Hinckley said the search of the body is ongoing.

A good thought for the day!
A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and
explaining stress management to an audience; with a raised glass of
water, and everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question,
'half empty or half full?'..... She fooled them all... "How heavy is
this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile.
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how
long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I
hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it
for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same
weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She
continued, "and that's the way it is with stress.If we carry our burdens
all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy,
we won't be able to carry on."
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and
rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on
with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced.
So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.
Don't carry them through the evening and into the night... pick them up
tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a
moment. Relax, pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short.
Enjoy it and the now 'supposed' stress that you've conquered!"

There are female jokes and there are unisex jokes. Here is a joke I consider a true female joke.
I offer it to you in the hopes that women will love it and men will pass it along to a woman who will love it!
A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when Steven, a tall, exceptionally handsome, extremely sexy, middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him. This seasoned yet playful heartthrob noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. (As any man
would.) Before she could offer her apologies for staring so rudely, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20.00...on one condition..." Flabbergasted but intrigued, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just
three words." The woman considered his proposition for a moment, and then slowly removed a $20 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply and passionately into his eyes, barely concealing her anticipation and excitement, and slowly and meaningfully said�."Clean my house."

Have an awesome, healthy day!
GOD grant me the Senility to forget
the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune
to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight
to tell the difference.
Now that I am older,
here's what I have discovered:
I started out with nothing.....
I still have most of it.
My wild oats have turned to
prunes and All Bran.
I finally got my head together,
now my body is falling apart.
Funny I don't remember
being absent minded....
All reports are in:
Life is now officially unfair.
If all is not lost, where is it?
It is easier to get older
than it is to get wiser.
Some days you're the dog,
some days you're the hydrant.
I wish the buck stopped here
I could use a few....
Kids in the back seat cause accidents;
accidents in the back seats cause kids.
It's hard to make a comeback when you have
haven't been anywhere.
Only time the world beats a path to your door is if
you're in the bathroom.
If God wanted me to touch
my toes, he would have put them on my knees.
When you're holding all the cards, why does
everyone else decide to play chess?
It's not hard to meet expenses
they're everywhere.
I went to the doctor for my yearly physical.
The nurse started with certain basics.
"How much do you weigh?" she asked.
"135," I said.
The nurse put me on the scale.
It turns out my weight is 180.
The nurse asked, "Your height?"
"5 foot 4," I said.
The nurse checked and saw that I only measure 5'2".
She then took my blood pressure and told me that it is very high.
"Of course it's high!" I screamed, "When I came in here I
was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!"
She put me on Prozac.
What a witch!!!
Have a great weekend! Remember to smile.....it's contagious!

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out..
The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.
Curious I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'
The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: 'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3. He's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'
This hit home since I remember when my kids were little my folks asking what I wanted to Christmas. My response........"a good night's sleep!!!!!"

Girls Gone Dead
One of the absolute worst films ever made!
Listless and involving. Apparently nobody told the filmmaker that people can't listen to dialogue and read text messages at the same time!
If i stop a film it gets a zero, the moment I saw a character eat shit, which happens within the first ten minutes, I stopped this stinker!
With strong performances this flick about sex addiction has a good mix of sweet and salt to satisfy and encourage repeat viewings!
It has spectacle and some fun moments but the last half hour is such a cliched letdown that everything else becomes moot!

Facing few options to reverse plunging oil prices, OPEC oil ministers decided Thursday to keep their production target on hold, a move that is likely to push the market even lower at a time of already high supply.
The Toronto stock market tumbled over 100 points Thursday as energy stocks sold off and crude prices plunged to multi-year lows — below US$70 a barrel — after the OPEC cartel declined to cut oil production.
The Ontario region of Windsor-Essex wants to lure home Alberta-based tradespeople — the best and brightest and perhaps most interesting of skilled workers — and even some of our boring mill operators. It says so on the cheeky ad that has run in the Journal and National Post, as well as local papers in Red Deer and Fort McMurray under the headline: "Tired of living with five guys? Looking for a better life?"

Three Edmonton entrepreneurs share what qualities they and their business partners have that allow them to successfully run a family business at the Edmonton Journal on Sept. 17.
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Does Saudi Arabia have it out for frackers in the U.S.? Or Iran? Or Russia? Will low oil prices make it easier to fight the Islamic State? Or harder?
By all accounts, Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi was in a "good" place and "happy" during OPEC's last meeting in June. "Everything is good. Supply is good, demand is good, prices are good and the market is balanced," Naimi told reporters in Vienna. "Everyone is happy. The customer is happy, the producer is happy and the […]

The Toronto stock market could be in for a seventh-straight week of gains as investors take comfort from moves by the Chinese government to boost its economy and look ahead to the latest readings on American and Canadian economic growth.
With the APEC summit now in the rear-view mirror, attention has slowly shifted to the next major event in the Asia-Pacific. Curiously, unlike APEC, it doesn't have a firm date, and the particularly pessimistic might say there is some doubt that it will take place at all. The event is the announcement, or the expected announcement, of the completion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a multilateral free-trade and economic partnership agreement that would span 12 economies (including Canada) once completed. But the behind-closed-doors nature of the negotiations have left most to speculate on the details of a potential deal, although the main challenges are not hard to deduce.
Fort McKay Logistics, a trucking and delivery enterprise fully owned by the Fort McKay First Nation, now has a presence in southeast Edmonton. Chief Jim Boucher and general manager Mathieu Leger cut a ribbon Friday at the grand opening of a 28,000-square-foot warehouse and office at 5477 67th Ave.
Oil prices rose this week, ending a losing streak that stretched back to the end of September. It wasn't a big move — a gain of less than one per cent — but Friday's close of $76.51 US a barrel in New York could signal that a price floor of roughly $75 has been reached after months of bloodletting.
As the bus snakes through the trees, the forest suddenly opens up to a large clearing with dozens of side-by-side pumpjacks pulling up heavy oil. Gleaming towers and steel vessels loom over the trees nearby — the signs of huge plants that create the heated steam sent down the wells to melt the bitumen. Head office worries about wobbling oil prices seem a long way off out here where crews from Imperial Oil, Osum and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. are pumping bitumen at robust rates.
As president and chief executive of the Canadian Bankers Association, Terry Campbell is the voice of and point man for the country's banking industry. During a stop Thursday in Edmonton, he spoke with the Journal on a wide range of issues. Here is an edited, condensed transcript.
Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford says slumping oil prices may cause a revenue hit for the federal government but expressed confidence the price drop is simply "cyclical."

Worst hotel everPosted Nov 24, 2014
Hotel room are very small. Elevator is on the 1 floor not the ground floor. Room is 2 meter by 2 meter. Very small. U can find a better hotel with the price they charge. Tv have only 20 channels and no fridge. No slippers for the cold bathroom. Shower room is really tinny. Don't even consider this hotel As an option even if it's free.
by A verified traveler
Best feature is Close to Paddington, LondonPosted Oct 25, 2014
Pros: Close to the subway station. London was raining the whole week and I barely got wet!
Cons: INTERNET!!! It is inconceivable that hotel managers do not understand how important a good internet connection is!
Location: Right by Paddington. There is not much to see around it! Good only if you are in London for business.
Hotel internet was flaky. I was on a business trip, where a good internet is critical 3 Out of the 4 days that I spent were with awful internet connection. This is unacceptable!
by A verified travelerfrom Santa Fe, NM
Room maintenance required immediatelyPosted Oct 21, 2014
Pros: It's location for quick access to Heathrow Airport.
Cons: See above complaints stupid!!!
Location: Location was within short walking distances to cafe's, currency exchanges, buses and tube station.
The best thing about Mercure London Paddington is its location for easy access to Heathrow Airport. The undesirable attributes are:- 1. Light above the beds turns on but goes off in 30 seconds. My complaint was ignored. Decided not to report additional problems below:- 2. Cramped accommodation 3. Shaver pug in the bathroom broken 4. The toilet constantly trickles water -annoying waste of natural resource. 5. The shower-head support is loose. It was not possible to adjust its position for correct spray angle for optimum usage causing frustration and again, waste of natural resource.

PoorPosted Oct 7, 2014
Pros: Next to Paddington
Cons: customer service
Location: next to paddington not much near by
Newly refurbd rooms shame about reception staff and noisy plumbing..

Boutique, Elegant, Charming, CozyPosted Sep 29, 2014
Pros: The entire staff was extremely nice and helpful. The breakfasts were very good. The wait staff very accommodating. Room was quiet.
Cons: Add washrags to bathroom linen. Americans generally use washrags when bathing.
Location: Nice 20 minute walk through Hyde Park to Buckingham Palace. Many restaurants nearby.
Overall: From the moment we arrived until the minute we left, the hotel staff were helpful, polite, accommodating and pleasant. The room is small but large enough to accommodate two people, each with a large suitcase. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed amenities such as bottled water, tea and coffee maker in room, and a couple of cookies. Bathroom: There was plenty of hot water for showers plus two shelves above the sink to place toiletries. The bathroom is equipped with a good hair dryer, shampoo, bath gel, shower cap and more. The towels are large. The bathroom is small and there is not much room to move around. Robes are provided, although you may have a laugh if they don't quite fit. Location: The best part is how close Paddington Station is. This is a plus because the Heathrow Express to Paddington station (15 minutes) puts you within a half block from the hotel. What a great location! Electronics: Initially could not turn off wall TV. The remote did not work and we could not find the turn off switch on the TV. However, it was fixed the next day. There is free WiFi. No connection problems during our stay.

great locationPosted Sep 21, 2014
great location ,but room a bit small. It was chaotic at breakfast as you have your breakfast in Garfunkel's which is open to the public and they did not have enough staff on .
for Couplesby A verified travelerfrom Auckland, NZ
Did the jobPosted Sep 1, 2014
Pros: Convenience and capable staff.
Cons: Direction of cold air from aircon unit.
Location: Good location. Plenty of fast food and general restaurants nearby. Felt totally safe.
We found the hotel to be clean and comfortable, The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was small, but then we expected that when we booked it. Adjacent to Paddington which makes it an ideal place for weary travellers coming off a flight at Heathrow (and making use of the Heathrow Expess rail service).

Today's Horoscope for AquariusPresented By MySign.com
There's nothing that amusing about money, Aquarius, but today's financial matters could get a little funny—as in peculiar. Under an exact alignment of the emotional Moon and nebulous Neptune in your zone of fiscal responsibility, someone could try to exploit your open nature. If a deal sounds too good to be true, then trust your gut. Try to avoid charging and financing things today, and don't borrow or lend any money either. If you don't have the cash, give it a pass then see if you're interested next week.— The AstroTwins, Tali & Ophira Edut via mysign.com

B to the F: The Novelization of the Feature Film
eBook (ePub): $2.99
Download immediately.
In 1984, George Gipe was contracted to write the novelization of the movie Back To The Future. He was supplied with a screenplay still in flux, writing his novelization even as the movie itself was... More > being rewritten and as major roles were being recast (Michael J. Fox was not the first person to play Marty McFly). Partially because of this, and partially because of Gipe's natural writing style, the novelization is coo-coo bananas. It is totally insane. It's... kind of awesome? This book is the page-by-page reading guide to Gipe's novelization of Back to the Future, pointing out where things are different from the movie (often!) why and how they're worse (often!) and even when they're better (it happens, like, twice). It is written by Ryan North who writes the online strip Dinosaur Comics and the Adventure Time comic book. There are lots of pictures and lots of jokes and you will have a fun time reading (EVEN MORE SO THAN YOU NORMALLY DO).< Less

We booked a large room and were upgraded to a suite with living room andbalcony. Very nice touch. I would definitely stay there again. This isbeing stated by someone who lives and works in nyc. My wife and I werewere looking to get away without kids. The location couldn't have beenbetter-- easy access/walk to the West Side's Theater District,Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building et - Gregory
we loved everything ,very central we could not have wished for more it was so easy to get from A to B ,,,the buzz from the lounge window it was our first time in New York and it was magic I am a seasoned traveller ,,,,,your apartments old world but very nice
regards Bernie - Anonymous
location - Luiz
Overall, a great hotel, well situated to catch all of NY. Pleasant and helpful staff.
However, beware of paying for a high floor room, thinking you will get a view! One of our rooms had a view of the Empire State Building - great!

Despite what most people think, the modern age is perhaps the most moral of all periods of history. There are competing moralities which creates a sort of moral confusion – but we certainly have no lack of morality. But, as described in this article, morality itself is part of the problem. Is it possible to … Read More ›
Mere Morality
What makes an action moral? I use the word to describe something done in an effort to conform to a rule, a law, or a principle. It is a matter of the will and a matter of effort. All societies require some form of moral behavior. If there were no such behavior, life would be … Read More ›
Harlots and Drunkards at the Last Banquet
Since we were thinking about Dostoevsky… Once a week I teach a class at a local alcohol and drug treatment program. It is on the "spirituality of recovery."

The Marriage of Love and Hate
The genius of Dostoevsky lies in the profound theological insight of his tumbled novels. They can be difficult reads for many people – particularly in our modern setting. He has "too many characters" and they "talk a lot." His characters are complex: I was a scoundrel, and yet, I loved God… Good and evil are … Read More ›
A Generous Repentance
I have learned over time to expect cultural expressions of the Orthodox faith that are mentioned nowhere in books and articles. Many of these surround major life events and their sacraments: Baptism, Marriage, Funerals. And so I was not surprised when the family of a recently deceased Romanian in my community called me for help … Read More ›
The Erotic Language of Prayer
The very heart of true prayer is desire, love. In the language of the Fathers this desire is called eros. Modern usage has corrupted the meaning of "erotic" to only mean sexual desire – but it is a profound word, without substitute in the language of the Church. I offer a quote from Dr. Timothy … Read More ›
In the Womb of the Modern World

Godless Morality
Is it possible to be moral without believing in God? I would venture to say that moral is pretty much all there is without God. To be moral requires that we have some understanding of the rules governing our behavior and a willingness to live by those rules. I have pondered many times why someone … Read More ›
Church Scandals Must Come
Scandals must come (Matt. 18:7). These are the words of Christ. He tells us that scandals are not only likely to happen – but that they will happen. They are necessary (ἀνάγκη).

Calif. Theology Univ. Makes Gay Friendly Mini-Movie
BY Neal Broverman
October 21 2011 2:25 PM ET
California's Claremont School of Theology recently made a gay-positive short film with a message that homosexuality and religion need not be mutually exclusive.
The film, Beyond Inclusion: Sexual Diversity and Claremont School of Theology, was compiled by television producer and CST alumna Brenda Bos. It features school faculty and professors talking about the inclusion of queer people into mainstream religion.
"I've long been convinced that Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Lincoln University could be very attractive to queer students, many of whom have a desire for spiritual exploration, but have been disenfranchised for so long and have no idea where to turn," Carleen Mandolfo, an out professor at CST, said regarding the impetus for the video. Watch it below.

Stats & Info: Miguel Gonzalez
Top stats to know: Baltimore Orioles
February, 27, 2013
By ESPN Stats & Information | ESPN.com
Rick Osentoski/USA TODAY SportsMatt Wieters has made consecutive All-Star teams and won back-to-back Gold Gloves.
No Star Power
The Orioles won last year without a superstar everyday player. Their Wins Above Replacement leader among position players was Adam Jones (3.4).
Three other teams had no position players record a 3.5 WAR or higher and they (Colorado Rockies, Houston Astros, and Seattle Mariners) combined for a .399 winning percentage.
The Orioles WAR leader among pitchers was Jason Hammel (2.9), making Baltimore one of 10 teams that had no pitchers with a WAR of 3.0 or better. Of those, only the Orioles and Brewers (83-79) had winning records.
Tough to replicate this
The Orioles will be challenged to replicate their success in close games last season.
They went 29-9 (.763) in one-run games, the best winning percentage in baseball history among teams to play at least 30 one-run games. They also went 16-2 in extra-inning games, had 24 last at-bat wins (most in the majors), only five last at-bat losses (fewest in the majors), and went 74-0 in games in which they led after seven innings.
What a relief!
The Orioles got the most out of their bullpen last season. Baltimore was the only team in baseball that ranked in the top five in both innings pitched and lowest ERA by relievers in 2012.
The Wieters effect
Matt Wieters has been very valuable to the Orioles, not just for his offense, but for his work behind the plate.
Wieters has made consecutive All-Star teams and won back-to-back Gold Gloves. His 31 Defensive Runs Saved since 2009 are second-most in the majors among catchers behind Yadier Molina.
Over the last two seasons, Orioles pitchers have a 4.15 ERA with Wieters catching and a 5.33 ERA with others behind the plate.
Player to watch: Manny Machado
Expectations are high for third baseman Manny Machado, who was valued at 1.5 Wins Above Replacement for his 51-game stint late last season.
Perhaps most impressive was the power he displayed at age 19. Since 1920, only three third basemen had a higher slugging percentage than Machado (.445) during their age-20 season or younger and among them are Hall of Famers Jimmie Foxx and Eddie Mathews.
Pitcher to watch: Miguel Gonzalez
Miguel Gonzalez, who didn't make his debut with the Orioles until late May, was one of the team's best starting pitchers down the stretch.
Gonzalez was 4-1 with a 2.35 ERA in his last seven starts of the season (including his playoff start against the Yankees).
Gonzalez significantly improved the areas in which he had the most control, as noted in the chart on the right.
A-Rod struggling to catch up
October, 10, 2012
By Mark Simon & John Fisher, ESPN Stats & Information | ESPN.com
What's wrong with Alex Rodriguez?
The New York Yankees third baseman is 1-for-9 with five strikeouts in this series against the Baltimore Orioles. And is 3-for-27 with 11 strikeouts in the last two postseasons overall.
His postseason performance, other than 2009, has been a bit of an issue.
Consider some of these career numbers.
He's hitting .175 with 23 strikeouts in 57 postseason at-bats with runners in scoring position.
He's hitting .129 with 13 strikeouts in 31 at-bats with runners in scoring position and two outs.
His batting average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage slashline is .237/.343/.412 with runners on base.
Rodriguez has not homered in his last 70 postseason at-bats (the longest streak of his career). Since his last postseason homer (October 31, 2009), he is hitting an even .200 in postseason play.
What's his current issue
Rodriguez is having trouble catching up to fastballs.
He struck out against a 96 mile-per-hour sinker from Orioles closer Jim Johnson to end Game 2.
Rodriguez had 13 strikeouts on pitches at least 96-MPH or faster in the regular season, which tied for fifth-most in baseball, despite the fact he missed 40 games.
But speed hasn't necessarily mattered. Any fastball has been a struggle for him.
Since September 23, Rodriguez is 7-for-35 in at-bats ending with fastballs, sinkers, cutters or splitters. All seven hits are singles. Only three of the 26 balls he's put into play have been classified by our hit-tracking system as "hard-hit."
Rodriguez hasn't homered since September 14 when he hit one against Tampa Bay Rays starter David Price. He has 25 strikeouts and no home runs in 77 at-bats since his last home run. He has one extra-base hit on his last 35 fly balls/line drives.
Wednesday's Matchup: Gonzalez vs. A-Rod
Orioles Game 3 starter Miguel Gonzalez has never faced Rodriguez, so what can the Yankees slugger expect to see?
As we noted last night the Orioles have done a nice job working the edges of the plate against A-Rod. They've thrown 40 of their 47 pitches to Rodriguez in this series to the inner-third (or off the inside corner) or the outer-third (or off the outside corner) of home plate.
Gonzalez is more apt to work the outside part of the plate, as the numbers show that he's much more likely to work a right-handed hitter away than inside.
It makes sense for the Orioles to keep pitching Rodriguez away until he proves he can hit a pitch to that area with authority.
Since September 7 (including the first two games of this series), Rodriguez has seen 211 pitches on the outer-third of the plate, or off the outside corner.
Those 211 have resulted in 28 outs, six walks, and only two hits, both singles.
Narrow that even further to the 82 pitches that have been on the outside corner.
Those have resulted in 18 outs and just one hit.

With summer nearly over and winter rapidly approaching, now is the time for building owners and managers to prepare for the winter. While starting up the heating equipment, the cooling equipment needs to be shut down properly to ensure that it starts smoothly next year.
Many companies often overlook the correct procedures for air conditioning shut down and merely just switch it off because it is not needed again for several more months. However, equipment that is not shut down properly may not be able to start up again. Similarly to the cooling systems, the heating systems need to be prepared in advance. It is more cost-effective to avoid emergency service calls during the really cold months and to have your equipment repaired before the heating system begins.
Preventive maintenance is the key to preventing these repairs. When regular maintenance is neglected, equipment life shortens, energy is wasted, and the building's appearance reflects the lack of care. At GSH Group, we are committed to exceeding client expectations in the field of HVAC service, which translates to an efficient preventive maintenance program yielding year-round savings.
The following are effective tips to help building owners and managers get a jump start on the winter season:
Proper maintenance for HVAC equipment will lead to the best possible outcome for your building, not only in the winter, but also throughout the entire year. Here are some benefits enjoyed by companies who have regular maintenance performed on their HVAC equipment:
Here at GSH, we provide full-service HVAC inspections, maintenance, repairs, and installations. We carry out full deficiency reports to ensure we start each season with full knowledge of the equipment, and we will alert you of any potential issues before they become critical and costly problems.
Steve Wallis is a branch manager for GSH Group Inc., an international building engineering and energy management provider with U.S. offices in New Jersey and Virginia. Wallis has over 11 years of professional experience in the HVAC field and preventive maintenance programs. For more information on heating start-up and air conditioning shut-down, or if you want GSH to look at your building, please contact Steve at 973-227-5515 or email@example.com.
