Jesus + Nothing = Everything
Publisher's Description
A proclamation of Christ's sufficiency that frees us from self-righteousness and keeps us anchored through storms.
Jesus + Nothing = Everything is the equation that Tullian Tchividjian took away from a year of great trial and turmoil. In this book he describes the bitter divisions that soured the beginning of his pastorate at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and the personal anchor that he found in the overwhelming power of the gospel. The book of Colossians forms the basis of Tchividjian's call for Christians to rediscover the gospel and continually reorient their lives around Jesus.
Tchividjian insists that many who assume they understand the gospel fail to actually apply its riches to their lives. He takes particular aim at self-righteousness, which emphasizes moral behavior while ignoring gospel indicatives. In contrast, Tchividjian delivers a strong grip of the gospel and the radical freedom and peace that are only then possible. This book delves into the profound theological truths of the gospel, yet the message is intensely practical—Tchividjian sounds the call for believers to lean hard on Christ in every area of every day.
About the Author
Tullian Tchividjian, the founding pastor of New City Presbyterian Church, has recently accepted a call to serve Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church as their senior pastor. The grandson of Ruth and Billy Graham, Tchividjian is a graduate of Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida. He is also the author of Do I Know God and The Kingdom of God.

Bog Bodies, or the Bog People, are extremely well preserved ancient corpses that have been discovered in peat bogs of Europe. Bog Bodies are found in various states. Some are merely skeletons and can only reveal a limited amount of information to scientists. Others are partially preserved and still hold clues as to who they were and how they died. Finally, there are those that have been completely preserved with their clothes still intact and their facial expressions the same as they had been when they were buried.
The Bog Bodies are so well preserved because of where they were buried. Though it is important to note that they were not actually buried; they were placed in the bog water and usually covered with branches. Typically, Bog Bodies are found when workers drain sphagnum bogs and extract the peat moss. They have been turning up for some time and no one is sure how many may have been found and discarded in the past, today documented discoveries of Bog Bodies number around 700.
The bogs in which these bodies were placed are near saltwater. The peat moss in these bogs collects the salt from the air and releases acid into the bog water. The water then permeates throughout the cells in the corpse. Because of the acid, bacteria cannot survive in these bogs, so the bodies do not decompose as they normally would. Instead, they slowly become mummified. Over time, the process leaves the flesh of the corpse a dark leathery brown. This preservation has given us a lot of insight into how these Bog People died, and it often was not pretty.
The Hildremose Woman was found in Denmark. She is suspected to have died between 160 BC and 340 AD. Her body was mutilated so badly that one of her arms was completely cut off.
The body of a sixteen-year-old girl was found in Holland. She most likely died between 170 BC and 230 AD. Her body showed signs of strangulation. The rope she was strangled with is still around her neck.
The Elling Woman was found in Denmark. She probably died between 160 BC and 340 AD. She was hanged and the noose that was used to kill her was still around her neck when she was discovered.
The Tollund Man is probably the most disturbing of all the Bog Bodies. His face is perfectly preserved and life like. He could almost be sleeping, were it not for the unnatural color of his face. He still wears a hat that was on his head at the time of death. He was between 30-40 years old when he died. He was hung, similarly to the Elling Woman. The noose remains as well.
In 2003, diggers uncovered the torso of a bog man who was subjected to torture. This torso is known as the Oldcroghan Man. What is left of the man's body contains several stab and slice wounds. A rope had been run through two holes in his upper arms, presumably as a grotesque means of restraining the man. He was also cut in half and beheaded. He was in his twenties at the time of his murder.
The Clonycavan Man was also discovered in Ireland in 2003, just 25 miles away from where the Oldcroghan Man was discovered. Radiocarbon dating suggests that he and the Oldcroghan Man lived between 392 B.C. and 201 B.C. He had been struck in the head three times with an axe and once again in the chest. He was also disemboweled before his body was dumped in a peat bog. Like the Oldcroghan Man, the Clonycavan Man was in his early twenties when he was murdered.
Interestingly, the Clonycavan Man's hair was styled in a sort of ancient pompadour before he was killed. His hair is preserved this way. What is so interesting about this is that the Clonycavan Man used an ancient hair gel to style his hair. The Oldcroghan Man showed evidence of having carefully manicured fingernails. This goes to show that people were as aware of their appearance then as they are now.
The oldest of the Bog Bodies dates from around 8000 BC and the youngest from early medieval times. The clothing found on some of these bodies is preserved perfectly with them. This tells us a lot about the clothing of their time. Scarves, hats, belts, shoes, capes and skirts have been found on the Bog Bodies. Most of them are made of woven wool or leather. Scientists have also been able to analyze the contents of some of the Bog People's stomachs. A lot of them seem to have eaten gruel shortly before their death. This leads some to believe that they were given a last meal before they were sacrificed. Other Bog Bodies appear to have been the recipients of trepanning surgery.

Apparently, Discussing White Privilege with High School Students is "Indoctrination" and "Anti-White"
At least they didn't quote Brother Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. out of context.
Schools are one of the primary places where political socialization takes place in a given society. They are indoctrination centers that reproduce the values of a culture. Most folks do not want to think of "education" in that way.
In "post racial" America this poses a dilemma: do you teach young people the truth about this country's history and the semi-permanence of the colorline? As an educator, do you discuss how American society is structured hierarchically and where race, class, and gender over-determine life outcomes?
It would seem that if you are a teacher at Delavan-Darien High School in Wisconsin, you should not dare to broach such questions.
Over the last few decades, there has been an Orwellian turn in American education. It extends from grade school to the university level.
What counts as educational content is being dictated by the logic of the capitalist marketplace, teachers are being subjected to onerous surveillance and harassment, intellectual freedom is being made subject to the political aims of outside actors, and the value of teachers is being undermined by destroying public unions, eliminating tenure, and forcing college professors into a permanent contingent labor force.
In total, the response to Delavan-Darien High School's course "American Diversity" is indicative of the impact of hyper-conservatism on public schools. Ultimately, the students (and by extension all of us) lose because they are not being given the critical thinking tools to be active, reflective, and engaged citizens.
Ideally, any controversy over teaching students about an obvious fact--such as how "race matters" in American society--should be dismissed as silliness.
However, conservatives are prone to authoritarian thinking and a binary worldview that is highly resistant to change and new information. Any critique of their personal mythologies--such as the idea that America is a true meritocracy--is bound to cause howls of complaint, and cries of "indoctrination." When personal mythologies intersect with self-serving narratives about colorblindness, Whiteness and Conservatism cannot help but to overreact in the form of a manufactured crisis.
The Fox News story about Delavan-Darien High School's discussion of White Privilege is also a rich object lesson in the magical thinking and anti-intellectualism which has infected the Right, and America's public discourse, more generally, since the Culture Wars of the 1990s (and which reached a fever pitch with the election of President Obama in 2004 through to the present).
Conservatives have repeatedly complained about the nefarious field of "anti-white" scholarship known as Critical Race Theory. However, they cannot define its range of study. Nor, have those on the Right likely done any vigorous research about its intellectual terrain or scope.
Moreover, there is a deep suspicion of the Academy and "intellectuals" by those on the populist Right. Hostility to Critical Race Theory is really about an unwillingness to discuss racial inequality coupled with a disdain for any type of trained expertise in matters of the mind or intellect.
The ability of outside agitators such as the Tea Party, Young America's Foundation, David Horowitz, and the Koch Brothers to monitor educational content, to bully and harass teachers and professors with whom they disagree, and to interject their "learning materials" into classrooms, is part of a decades-long project to remake education (on every level) in the service of a neoliberal, far-Right agenda.
The lie of false equivalency, where all sides of an argument are considered legitimate and of equal merit, is a product of a corporate news media entertainment complex that has rejected any responsibility for truth-telling. Fox News has become a professional outlet for distorted information that is legitimated under the guise of being "fair and balanced."

A Ukrainian skier has left the Olympics in response to the violence in her country, with her father saying she did so in 'solidarity with the fighters'.
The International Olympic Committee confirmed the withdrawal of Bogdana Matsotska on Thursday, and the Alpine skier's father said he and his daughter are 'extremely angry at President Viktor Yanukovych'.
Oleg Matsotskyy, who also coaches his daughter, posted a message in Ukrainian on his Facebook page in which he assailed Yanukovych's latest actions.
"Instead of resolving the conflict through negotiations (which we had hoped he would when we left for Sochi), has drenched the last hopes of the nation in blood,'' the message read.
"In solidarity with the fighters on the barricades ... and as a protest against the criminal actions made towards the protesters, the irresponsibility of the president and his lackey government, we refuse further performance at the Olympic Games in Sochi 2014."
Matsotska finished 27th in the women's super-G and 43rd in giant slalom and was on the slalom entry list issued last Sunday.
Kiev violence
IOC spokesman Mark Adams said the Olympic body has been in touch with Ukraine's national Olympic committee following a clash between anti-government protesters and police in Kiev that left at least 25 people dead and hundreds injured.
Pole vault great Sergei Bubka, who heads Ukraine's national committee, has urged Ukrainian athletes to remain in Sochi as a sign of unity. But he has also said he respects the rights of athletes to make their own decision.
Some Ukrainian athletes had expressed interest in wearing black arm bands to honor those who died in the conflict. The Ukraine NOC said Wednesday they were informed by the IOC that they would not be allowed to wear them, just as some Norwegian competitors were denied permission earlier in the games.

Weekly Update 2009
From the Gallery
By Linda Elliott
19 December 2009
Arthur Wicks, #2 Cultivating the Sand Memories, 1980,screenprintfrom the exhibition Inside/Outside: Forward/Backwards
The Friends of the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery are off on another fun weekend bus trip to see Masterpieces from Paris: Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne and beyond-Post-Impressionism from the Musée d'Orsayat the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra. Why not hop on board for a fun filled weekend and make new friends?
This exceptional show brings together 112 of the best known works of modern art from the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Included are iconic works such as Vincent van Gogh's beautiful Starry night 1888 and Van Gogh's Bedroom at Arles 1889, Paul Gauguin's Tahitian women 1891, Paul Cézanne's beloved Mount Saint-Victoire c 1890 as well as works by Georges Seurat, Pierre Bonnard, Claude Monet, Maurice Denis, Edouard Vuillard and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec among many others.
The cost of this weekend tour will be $350 (plus single supplement) if you pay before December 31. This includes return coach to Wagga Wagga, morning tea and lunch on Saturday, accommodation and breakfast at The Brassey of Canberra, lunch on Sunday, and all entry fees are covered. This would make a perfect Christmas/Valentines Day present.
Over several decades, Wagga's famous contemporary artist, Arthur Wicks has explored the paradoxes of contemporary life. His prolific output has encompassed painting, printmaking, performance and sculpture. Inside/Outside: Forward/Backwards, at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery, presents a survey of Arthur Wicks' work, focusing on several of the key themes that have informed his practice. Inside/Outside: Forward/Backwardsfeatures several of Arthur Wicks' renowned sculptural machines, with a range of vehicles including a helicopter, an armoured car and a caged cyclist. A selection of prints and works on paper is also on display. These are drawn from several decades of the artist's work in the collection of the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery. This is a great exhibition for seeing a survey of such an esteemed artist.
Civic Melancholy features photographs of Wagga Wagga and its surroundings by Riverina-based artist Jamie Holcombe. Civic Melancholy uncovers aspects of our urban environment that we too often ignore. Many visitors to this exhibition will recognise places around town that we pass by every day unaware and others will remember sites recorded here that have since been transformed.
The photographs in Civic Melancholy are large-scale images of landscapes and structures from Wagga Wagga and other smaller communities in the region. They evoke an urban life cycle: empty bush and fields give way to construction sites; houses and offices emerge and then fall into disrepair, their remains collapse back into the soil.
TwoPointZero is a photographic exhibition by students from the Bachelor of Arts (Photography) at the Wagga Wagga campus of Charles Sturt University. This graduate exhibition reveals a wide variety of photographic styles and techniques, with a particular focus on portraits and the human figure, alongside landscapes, abstract works and other subjects. This diversity highlights a range of photographic practices and technical expertise.
The success of these works reflects the culmination of intense study by these students within the School of Visual & Performing Arts at Charles Sturt University. At the same time each of these committed and talented practitioners has brought their own identity to their work. This is a consequence of geographical location equally balanced with a national perspective, and a determined eye on the world stage.
Into the Fourth Decade: A Retrospectivepresents an array of work by renowned glass artist and designer Gerry King. This exhibition brings together pivotal works from King's artistic journey through four decades of working in glass. Originally trained as a glassblower he now works with a wide variety of techniques which include hot, cold and warm glass.
He holds various academic awards culminating in a Doctor of Creative Arts from the University of Wollongong. In the 1980's he was instrumental in the development of the Glass Studies course at the University of South Australia. Into the Fourth Decade: A Retrospective on now in the National Art Glass Gallery.
Thank you to all the Friends of the Gallery and Volunteers who have helped over the year. Without their assistance the gallery just couldn't do what we do. From all here at the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery we wish you a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year.
Staff from the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Two Men in Custody for Aggravated Burglary in Bayou Blue
9/12/2013 by Brennan Matherne
Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced two men are in custody following an incident that occurred at a Bayou Blue residence this morning. Detectives say the two men, both from Houma, were allegedly involved in an aggravated burglary that was initially reported as a shooting with multiple victims. The suspects' names are being withheld at this time due to the ongoing investigation, and detectives say they are looking for additional suspects in the case.
Shortly after 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 12, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office received several calls about an incident in the 1700 block of Lacroix Drive. At least one caller reported a man had shot four people and was barricaded inside a residence. Deputies quickly arrived on scene and located one of the victims who had escaped from the residence. The victim indicated an unknown male subject had entered the residence with a firearm demanding money. When this occurred, the victim immediately ran from the residence to call for help as other family members remained inside the home. The victim had assumed the rest of the family had been shot, but he had not witnessed nor heard any gunshots.
Members of the Lafourche Parish Interagency Crisis Management Unit responded and made entry into the residence. They found no one inside, but there were signs a struggle may have occurred. Deputies then learned the victim's family, who were previously thought to be inside the trailer, were at a local hospital receiving treatment from injuries sustained during the incident. Other deputies back on scene were questioning neighbors and were able to develop descriptions of two subjects. Deputies found one suspect hiding inside a shed on a nearby street and located the other as he was running through a nearby field.
Detectives are continuing to investigate this incident and new information will be forthcoming as it becomes available. Sheriff Craig Webre would like to thank the Houma Police Department for assisting detectives, and he also thanks the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office, Bayou Blue Volunteer Fire Department, Acadian Ambulance, Louisiana Probation and Parole, and the Louisiana State Police who responded to assist at the scene Thursday morning.
The Lafourche Parish Interagency Crisis Management Unit is comprised of deputies of the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office, as well as officers from Thibodaux Police, Lockport Police, Golden Meadow Police, and Port Fourchon Harbor Police. The unit responds to critical incidents and "high-risk" situations, such as hostage situations or barricaded subjects, which take place in Lafourche Parish, as well as neighboring parishes when called upon for assistance. They also assist in executing arrest and search warrants as well as with search and rescue missions. Members of the unit were chosen through a selection process open to any qualifying officer of the participating agencies, and they take part in regular monthly training exercises.

Until last year, I thought this was the worst story of poorly managed anger. I was telling the story to a class and one student eagerly raised his hand when I finished. "I have a more unbelievable story. It's true, too. In my hometown two men got into an argument over the interpretation of a particular Bible verse. Neither was willing to relinquish his position. The two men became enraged. Finally one man pulled a pistol and shot the other man dead."
Unbelievable. I wonder what Bible verse they were the arguing about. Probably, "Thou shalt not kill."
Hardly a day passes without an acute awareness of the destructiveness of anger. The thoughtless words, the quick response, a sharp tongue where emotional wounds are inflicted that may take days, months or even years to heal.
Such outbursts are not to be taken lightly. We fling words in anger and, when words are flung, they have a way of finding a perhaps unintended but wide-open target. After all, if we are spraying the whole landscape with gunshot, the odds are that we will score a hit somewhere.
Anger is often accompanied with menace and accusation. Our voices rise. Our eyes blaze. Our bodies stiffen. Our fingers point. Our feet stamp. Our words are hurried.
In rage, often we are trying to make an enemy, even when there is none, and the sad thing is that we may succeed. Whoever said that "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me," must have been deaf. Careless words can do untold damage.
Because anger is often handled destructively, many of us find it very difficult to manage this emotion. Basically, there are three different ways we inappropriately express our anger.
One, we act out our anger. This may mean verbal abuse such as yelling, screaming, crying or physical aggression when we hit something or someone. Acting out anger, either physically or emotionally, can inflict wounds that take years to heal.
Two, we attempt to stuff our anger away. Stuffing means pretending our anger isn't there, like the guy who sits on a couch watching a basketball game, arms crossed, incensed with his wife, but willing to admit nothing. Stuffing away anger is like putting a pressure cooker on the hot eye of a stove with the valve closed. For the longest time it looks like nothing is happening. But inside that pressure cooker, steam is beginning to build. Gradually, the pressure from the steam becomes so great that an explosion must come. This explosion often finds expression as either a physical or emotional breakdown.
Three, we blame. The blamer believes everything is always someone else's fault. "You" is his favorite word.
There is a constructive and healthy way for us to express our anger. We can take responsibility for our anger. This means acknowledging that we are angry and communicating why we are angry.
There is no need for yelling, stuffing, or blaming. We express our anger with an honest desire to solve the problem, rather than win an argument.

Kevyn Andreyasn: Hey, when you want something done right, do it yourself.
Captain Kevyn Andreyasn: And if that's not enough, go back in time and tell yourself to try it again.Bob is sent to the future or past to help 'someone important'. When he arrives there, he finds that the person he has to help is him. After all, who else could Bob trust? The type of 'help' given varies. It may be a rescue, it may be assisting in a battle, it may just be going back in time to tell yourself "Do NOT drink the punch!" This often plays out in reverse too, the hero is helped by an Anonymous Benefactor who he or she later realizes was (or will be, or had been-- gah!) themselves all along. When the Past self goes to the future, he may end up realizing he's a jerk in the future, and strive to change that when he returns to the past. If the Future self goes to the past, before leaving, he may impart some wisdom that will come in handy when the time is right, or be disgusted at how weak, evil, or stupid he used to be. Note that saving your own life, or basically doing anything that enables you to travel in the first place, causes an ontological paradox. Contrast Never the Selves Shall Meet. Compare Retroactive Preparation. Depending on whether or not it's a Bad Future, related to Future Me Scares Me.

UL Cancels Entrance Exam
Over 10,000 candidates, who wrote the University of Liberia entrance exams in May this year, may have no choice but to accept the disappointing news that the UL Administration has cancelled the exam.
Making the disclosure Monday in Grand Cape Mount County, UL President Dr. Emmet Dennis said the University encountered technical problem from its data processing center, constraining it the cancel the entrance exam.
Dr. Dennis however said the exam will be re-administered in August. What was left unclear is whether all candidates, who previously registered, will be allowed to rewrite the exam.
Speaking at program marking the dedication of the David A. Straz, Jr. Senje Technical and Vocational College of the University of Liberia in Garwula District, Grand Cape Mount County, Dr. Dennis said the University will henceforth restrict the entrance exam to specific number of students other than the regular 24,000 candidates, who usually registered for the exam.
He said there are six community colleges across the country that are now fully operational.
In a related development, The UL President has described the dedication of phase I of the David A. Straz, Jr.-Senje Technical & Vocational Center as another milestone in President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf's desire to provide quality education to Liberian youth.
He disclosed that the college will begin with an enrollment of nearly 500 students for academic activities in two directions – one leading to an Associate Degree program, and a Certificate program, adding all programs will be "demand-driven."
For the first year, the certificate programs will include: Estate Management, Hospitality Management, and Computer Literacy to be elevated to Associate Degree level subsequently in the areas of Agronomy and Animal Science, General Engineering, and Teacher's Education.
"For all of these degree programs, entrepreneurship and ethics will form part of the curriculum," Dr. Dennis said, and added that students graduating with an AA Degree will have to take two and half years to complete the degree because nobody will graduate from there without a skill.
Dr. Dennis said in its second year of operation, the college intends to include in the curriculum Refined Carpentry, Plumbing, Auto-Mechanics, Electricity, Sculpture and Welding.
"A student leaving Straz-Senje must be employable, capable of opening a business or going on for a Bachelor's degree," he emphasized.
Also speaking, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf indicated that although Montserrado County is hosting Liberia's 165th Independence Anniversary, where development projects are usually dedicated during this period, it was proper and befitting that the college, though situated in Grand Cape Mount County, be dedicated during this period since the American philanthropist who provided most of the funding for its rehabilitation and construction, Ambassador David Straz, Jr., is currently in Liberia for the July 26 Independence Day celebration.
Amb. Straz is also Liberia's Honorary Consul General to Florida, in the United States.
President Sirleaf thanked the people of Grand Cape Mount County for providing 1,000 acres of land on which the facility is situated, and warned that with the abundance of land given the institution, it should be able to feed itself.
"Our subsidy to boarding institutions will be based upon their ability to become self-sufficient, particularly in food," she said, noting Cape Mount is known as a "book" county, but its people "don't make farms."
In remarks, philanthropist Straz said he was proud to have been able to contribute to a project where youth would acquire needy skills to attain meaningful employment, and be able to continue their studies at the University of Liberia.
Mr. Straz, who spoke of his passion for education, said he was touched by all who turned out to share in the special occasion saying "special for me, special for the county, and special for Liberia."

The point and click adventure games were becoming a dying breed and then Zack & Wiki came along, which is a most brilliant example of this type of game with a very funny story. The puzzles are very high quality and will keep you very entertained. The Wii remote controls are most impressive and really show off the Wii at it's best. The boss fights are wonderful fun as is finding all the items and secrets you can. My hat goes off for Capcom for producing one of the best 3rd party games on the Wii at the moment.

More Trouble with "Merit" Selection in Kansas
March 9, 2012
Along with retention elections, one of the main ruses the "merit" selection crowd employs to give the illusion that the public is still involved in judicial selection is the judicial performance review.
In Kansas, for example, a commission on judicial performance evaluates state judges and makes these evaluations available to the public to help them make "informed" decisions about whether to retain a judges in retention elections. Not surprisingly, the legal elites who make up the judicial performance commission overwhelmingly approve of the judges chosen by other legal elites who sit on judicial nominating commissions. In fact, since the system has been in place, the judicial performance commission has recommended the public retain every judge.
Many in the Kansas state legislature are tired of the charade. Earlier this week, a bill was advanced in the House to abolish the commissions and return the $785,000 in court filing fees that support it to the general treasury. While the legislation is unlikely to gain much traction in the Senate, it does represent yet another crack in the "merit" selection foundation.

NY commissioner: No plans for fracking permits
State Environmental Commissioner Joe Martens says his agency has "absolutely no plans" to issue permits for shale gas drilling and fracking in the 2014-15 fiscal year.
Several lawmakers asked Martens at a legislative budget hearing Wednesday if Gov. Andrew Cuomo's $137.2 billion budget allocates any money for regulating high-volume hydraulic fracturing, which has been on hold since an environmental review was launched in 2008. Martens replied, "None whatsoever."
Asked by reporters after the hearing when the environmental review will be finalized, Martens repeated previous statements that there's no timetable and he's waiting for an analysis by Health Commissioner Dr. Nirav Shah.
Cuomo's budget keeps DEC's funding flat at $876 million. It increases the Environmental Protection Fund, which pays for local conservation initiatives, by $4 million, bringing it to $157 million.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Responding to President Barack Obama's major Mideast policy speech, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel will not be withdrawing to
the 1967 borders as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians.
The PM said that Israel appreciates the president's commitment to peace,
but added that he expects Obama to reaffirm US commitments to Israel from
2004. According to the pledges made by then-President George W. Bush, the
Jewish state will not be asked to retreat to the 1967 borders and large

I have an index.html page configured in /srv/http that I can access from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. I finally installed PHP and MySQL. I tested PHP from Apache and it appears to be working great. I started MySQL and locked down the root user fro MySQL and created a generic user and database for 'RoundCube'. Now when I go to the RoundCube web installer, it does not detect any running databases on my server. I don't understand why? I followed the directions perfectly and when I try the same thing on a CentOS server, it works.
Here is the
showing the installer detecting PHP but not MySQL. If MySQL is running, why would this not be detected...???

Ham radio operators across the western U.S. and Canada havebeen picking up a mysterious signal. It doesn't come fromspace, but from an area near Sedona, Arizona. To hear thesignal yourself, click "Dreamland" on our masthead andscroll down to "Mystery Signal."
So far it's been heard in New Mexico, Nebraska, Colorado,Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota and Arizona, as well as partsof Canada. Radio operator Bob Gonsett says it?s coming "?perhaps from one specially modulated transmitter, perhapsfrom transmitters at different locations."
Operator Don Moman says, "This signal looks a lot moreinteresting than it would sound?just a broad tone/hum/buzz,depending on where you tune."
Jack Roland, who has heard the signals several times, says,"Something is not right there."
When most tourists go toEgypt,they just see pyramids, but William Henry saw links to theBible and evidence of ancient space technology! Learn allabout his discoveries on this week'sDreamland.Subscribers get to learn about how William believes theEgyptians were once able to travel across space and time.

Investing in the Perfect Lawn
Lawn Doctor understands a lawn isn't only grass – it is an investment. Not just an investment of time and money, but also one of memories and dreams. Our Lawn Doctor Lawn Maintainer Program will help your yard remain healthy and look beautiful, which will help you accomplish the ideal lawn you have always wanted.
Lawn Doctor Maintainer Program: Four Primary Points:
- Fertilization
- Pre-emergent Weed control
- Broadleaf Weed and Crabgrass control
- Integrated Pest Management
Our Lawn Maintenance and Maintainer program will help your grass stay lush and green, eliminating dandelions or clovers and preventing the appearance of crabgrass. A lawn that is healthy will also help in the prevention of diseases. Your local Lawn Doctor experts will tailor a program for your individual yard using their knowledge of everything from the local climate to rainfall rates.
Custom Lawn Maintenance Services
Since our lawn services are aimed at fulfilling the requirements of your particular lawn, there is no specific Lawn Doctor schedule for applying these lawn care services. We do not use a standard of one-size-fits-all approach.
Lawn Doctor Turf Tamer®
Lawn Doctor's exclusive and extremely effective Turf Tamer® lawn maintenance equipment is able to apply fertilizer and treat each inch of your yard. You do not even have to be at home for the lawn service. Rather than spend too much of your precious free time on yard work or mowing the lawn, you can enjoy family time or participate in a favorite pastime. See Lawn Doctor's Custom Lawn Care Services to learn more.
Yard Care Advice and Mower Maintenance
Lawn Doctor cannot monitor your lawn every minute, so see our lawn watering tips, mowing tips and more Lawn Care Tips to help your yard stay healthy each day.
Lawn Doctor doesn't mow lawns, but some of our locations offer Mower Maintenance, which will help your mowing equipment last longer. Talk to the Lawn Doctor in your area to get a recommendation for a provider of lawn mowing service.
Lawn Doctor's Guarantee
If any of our applications of lawn care fail to achieve the desired results, just let us know. As your Lawn Doctor franchise that is locally operated, we will either come back and reapply the application at no extra cost or we will refund the entire cost of your prior application.
Contact Lawn Doctor for a FREE Lawn Evaluation or you can call Your Local Lawn Doctor at 1-800-845-0580 to find out more about our lawn maintainer care services.

Accountants Cheshire for when it matters most
You might think that an accountant is for routine year end activities such as producing your annual accounts, and perhaps completing tax returns for you.
To an extent that is true, however, a good accountant should be there when you need them most, and that's not just at year end.
Hardy and Company who provide the Accountants Cheshire website specialise in the services that you need most at critical times in your business life. These key times include:
• Business startup – helping you to make sure that your business starts out in the right way to minimise risk to the owners and maximise your net income by paying only the tax you are legally obliged to – and not a penny more.
• When you start to employ staff – did you know just how many mistakes HM Revenue and Customs make in relation to tax codes and payroll? Your staff might be sitting on a nice bonus that we can help you find.
• When HM Revenue and Customs decide to investigate – it's the visit that every business owner dreads, and we are experts in guiding you through this key time in your business
• If you are in financial trouble – don't pretend it isn't happening. Our vast experience and professional approach can help you through your difficulties and get you back on the path to growth
• When you choose to sell – our contacts and services can help you get the highest exit value for your business, whilst implementing a clear strategy to legitimately minimise your tax burden.
Of course, we handle all the routine services for you as well, but that's the very least you would expect of any accountant.
Whilst our base is in Tarporley, Cheshire, we provide accountancy services throughout the county and beyond. Our specialist skill are regularly in demand outside our local area and we are more than happy to work with clients in most locations.
Worried about fees?
Don't be. We provide a free fee estimator to give you an indication of the fees you might expect to pay depending on the size and nature of your business. Of course, every business is different so it's impossible to be exact without speaking to you first, but the calculator should give you a good indication.
If you need accounting help in Cheshire, whatever your stage of business, please call us on the number at the top of the page or fill in the form in the 'Talk To Us' section of the website.

Polish chilled fish in horseradish sauce
Preparation time: 50 minutes
2 carrots
Place carrots, celery, parsley, onion, peppercorns, bay leaf, and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain broth and add fish fillets to hot vegetable broth, cooking for 6–10 minutes until the fish flakes easily. Remove fish from broth and arrange fillets on serving platter. Cover and chill. Strain and chill 3/4 cup of the remaining fish broth, reserving it for the sauce. In a saucepan, melt the margarine. Blend in flour until it forms a smooth paste. Add the cooled fish broth gradually, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the sauce boils. Remove from heat and stir in horseradish sauce, sugar, dash of salt, sour cream, and chopped hardboiled eggs. Cool for 15 minutes. Pour the horseradish sauce over the chilled fish, garnish with shredded lettuce, and serve immediately.

Dubbing National Public Radio "The Counterinsurgency Channel," blogger Mytwords (NPR Check, 5/28/09) takes issue with a May 27 All Things Considered report "meant to promote an aspect of U.S. counterinsurgency in Afghanistan–the training of Afghan police as part of Task Force Phoenix (what dumb ass names these operations anyway?)": The report opens with some great editorializing from Michele Norris: If American policy is ever to be successful in Afghanistan, it will be because of people like Army Major Jim Contreras; he's the top American police trainer in Helmand province in Southern Afghanistan. Afghan police are key to fighting insurgents: They […]

The country's first statewide ban on the sale of baby crib bumper pads goes into effect in Maryland this week.
The ban, which was adopted in November, begins on Friday, according to the state health department.
"Pediatricians in Maryland support the new ban on the sale of crib bumpers. Far too often in our state, healthy infants are dying in unsafe sleep positions," said Dr. Scott Krugman, chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center and president of the Maryland Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Health officials have long maintained that crib bumper pads provide no significant benefit and pose potentially serious risks to infants. Among those risks is the risk of suffocation.
Health officials say the key to safe sleeping for babies is for infants to sleep alone, on their backs in a crib free of blankets, pillows, fluffy toys or bumpers.
"The ban on the sale of crib bumpers promotes safer sleep for infants, and safer sleep will mean fewer tragedies for Maryland families," said Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, secretary of Maryland's health department.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health all advise against their use.

The Jeff Hunt Traditional Shotokan Karate School located at 227-13 Merrick Blvd. in Laurelton, is a faith-based community school which has been servicing the Southeast Queens community since 1996. The curriculum focuses on a strong academic foundation, commitment, integrity and healthy living for children and adults. Discipline is a very important aspect of life and a key characteristic of the school environment. Students at the school not only learn discipline, but they learn to bring honor to their character by bringing respect back to their community and committing to further developing and enhancing their education.
Sensei Jeff Hunt has been serving his community for over 11 years. Hunt teaches karate from a Christian perspective while building character, strength and self control. Hunt is inspired to help prevent people, particularly young men, from following unproductive and/or illegal paths. Learning karate gives students an opportunity to build a bridge with humility and respect so that it will be possible to deal with confrontational situations appropriately. He conducts workshops on gang violence and participates in youth rallies. He is devoted to helping individuals live productive and positive lives.
The Jeff Hunt Traditional Shotokan Karate School is committed to assisting in the fight against obesity and other preventable diseases that are prevalent in our communities. They offer a full comprehensive program that includes diet, exercise and healthy eating. Hunt believes that karate training is a wonderful way to get fit. The Shotokan Karate Program offers age specific classes for children, starting at age four, to adults. It shapes and tones muscles and gives a great cardiovascular workout. The school embarked on the first "Biggest Loser" competition, which inspired almost 32 adults to lose weight, exercise and develop healthier eating habits. This success led to incorporating a cardio fitness component into the classes offered at the school. The cardio fitness program is a "One Stop Shop," which includes a great cardiovascular workout and a weight management component.
Through participation in this program you will tone and strengthen your abs and muscles and boost your energy level with kickboxing, basic punching and kicking techniques. You will also receive nutrition information with keys and guidelines to healthy eating. Both programs offer core body conditioning exercises for an ultimate workout that will define your body.
The Jeff Hunt Traditional Shotokan Karate School has a team of three instructors and an office manager. The instructors teach adults and children the necessary tools to develop a strong body and mind.

Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) are a married couple still very much in love, but ten years and two kids have cooled the passion. To get it back, they decide – why not? – to make a video of themselves trying out every position in The Joy of Sex in one marathon three-hour session. It seems like a great idea, until they discover that their most private video has gone public. In a panic, they begin a wild night of adventure – tracking down leads, roping in friends, duping Annie's boss – all to reclaim their video, their reputation, their sanity, and, most importantly, their marriage.
Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz star in this fun and racy comedy about a married couple on a wildly hysterical mission to recover their missing sex tape.

At times, the modern political climate may seem stranger than fiction, so it may be comforting (or disconcerting) to know that several recent political events initially took place years prior, on NBC's beloved series The West Wing, which aired from 1999 to 2006. While some of its more prescient episodes tackle obvious issues (i.e. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"), other coincidences are downright bizarre (i.e. characters who bear striking similarities to Barack Obama and John McCain squaring off in a...

Rob Lowe says he's not a narcissist, but claims there's an "unbelievable bias" against good-looking people like himself.
In an interview with The New York Times magazine to promote his second memoir, Love Life, Lowe talks about finally scoring meaningful roles his good looks didn't allow him previously. "There's this unbelievable bias and prejudice against quote-unquote good-looking people, that they can't be in pain or they can't have rough lives or be deep or interesting," Lowe says.

Parks and Recreation is preparing for what can only be called an epic season (thankfully not series) finale.
Not only will First Lady Michelle Obama appear, but there will be plenty of other familiar faces popping up in Pawnee for the upcoming Unity concert, which will include a special performance by Donna's (Retta) cousinGinuwine and — possibly — Duke Silver!
The media narrative surrounding Justin Bieber has spiraled out of control. He's this year's Anne Hathaway, the person whom it's vogue to hate. But this turn isn't completely unfounded. Over the past few years, Bieber has undoubtedly become a bit of a jerk.
He was charged for illegal (and seemingly racist) graffiti, pissed in a mop bucket, left his monkey in Germany and could anyone seriously forget this hat? But for non-Beliebers, there has always been something grating about the singer. Everything from his swoopy hair to his sugar-pop love songs seemed designed to annoy all post-pubescents on sight, breeding discontent which lay dormant until his penchant for leather sweatpants and hocking loogies made him impossible to ignore.
Then all hell broke loose.
