Theater review by Helen Shaw. Duke on 42nd Street (Off Broadway). By William Shakespeare. Dir. Arin Arbus. With Maggie Siff, Jonathan Cake. 2hrs 40mins. One intermission.
Sigh no more, ladies (and gents), sigh no more. Instead, you should rejoice—and then nip out to buy tickets from Theatre for a New Audience. In a masterstroke, Arin Arbus's frequently charming production of Much Ado About Nothing has cast Jonathan Cake as Benedick, and his agile, gleeful performance drives out any possibility—any thought at all—of woe.
Deceptions abound in Shakespeare's Messina. In an atmosphere rife with masquerades and love tricks, Benedick's friends, the prince Don Pedro (Graham Winton) and Claudio (Matthew Amendt), are gulled by wicked Don John (Saxon Palmer) into believing the worst about Claudio's betrothed, Hero (Michelle Beck). Indeed, almost all of the "plot" rests on these machinations, but you'll barely notice. As the marriage-hating Benedick and his sparring partner, Beatrice (the always-magnetic Maggie Siff), turn inevitably toward love, the whole play moves helplessly in their wake. The production has clearly heeded British director Trevor Nunn's comment that the play must be done with "sufficient seriousness." Riccardo Hernandez's set is all shadowy black corners, with one tree and a swing for frolicking; Donald Holder's lighting design scrimps on brightness, then shines the occasional awkward (but necessary) spotlight.
Many actors do fine work—Amendt as fickle Claudio, Elizabeth Meadows Rouse as perky maid Ursula—but others, occasionally left adrift by Arbus, are still finding their footing. It scarcely matters, though, since Cake's confident, outsize high jinks operate as a kind of grounding force. He prompts barking, helpless laughter; he even stage-manages scenes, hustling an actor offstage so that he can get time alone to flirt with the audience. All apologies to Beatrice, but it's a masterpiece of seduction. None of us are left with our modesty intact.—Helen Shaw

GSK acquires full ownership of its Indonesian Consumer Healthcare business
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Issued: Friday 28 March 2014, London UK
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has acquired full ownership of its Indonesian Consumer Healthcare business in a transaction which also includes the company divesting a non-core brand and a manufacturing facility in the country.
The transaction is with three connected entities. GSK Consumer Healthcare Pte. Ltd has paid IDR 465 billion (£24.6 million) to Sarasvati Venture Capital Ltd (SVC) for the 30 per cent of the Indonesian Consumer Healthcare business it did not previously own. GSK has also divested its Insto™ eye drops brand to Pharma Healthcare Pte. Ltd and agreed to divest its manufacturing site at Bogor, Indonesia, to PT Pharma Healthcare for a combined total of IDR 133 billion (£7 million).
David Redfern, GSK Chief Strategy Officer, said: "This transaction is a further example of GSK focusing its business in strategically important growth markets such as Indonesia. It will also simplify operations in the Indonesian business."
The transaction will complete in two stages. GSK has completed the purchase of the shares and the divestment of the Insto brand. The Bogor manufacturing site will transfer to PT Pharma Healthcare in 2015.
GSK's Indonesian Consumer Healthcare business sells brands such as Panadol™, Sensodyne™ and Scotts™, and is an important emerging markets business for GSK. It has seen significant growth over the last five years, with net sales reaching close to £50 million in 2013 in comparison to around £16 million in 2008. With increased geographical coverage and by using targeted product innovation serving a fast-expanding middle class, the future prospects for the business are strong.
Insto eye drops are manufactured at the Bogor site and the brand is only sold in Indonesia. GSK will continue to sell the same formulation under the brand Eyemo™ across a number of other emerging markets, which are unaffected by this transaction.
GSK – one of the world's leading research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare companies – is committed to improving the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer. For further information please visit www.gsk.com.

de N5SDO
Dave, in the Four Corners
Bloomfield, New Mexico, USA - San Juan County - Grid: DM66
How it all started - with Antennas
I was always an avid AM DX/SWL listener and home brew wire antenna experimenter as a youngster, from my first AM crystal radio kit and the days and many nights spent listening in to all the distant signals on the bands with a "long wire" antenna stretching across the room and then alligator clipped onto my window screen as a kid (first capacitance hat). I soon learned I could build my own working antennas and then that I could always improve them, usually by trial and error back then. More was usually better!
I caught the DX bug listening to all the far away signals and dreamed of some day talking on HF to some stations in far away places. Many years later the dream is reality.
My First BIG Antennas - 1985
Later in life, in 1983 I became involved in commercial tower construction and antenna rigging in the mid 1980's working for an engineering firm in Fort Worth, TX. I soon met several hams while working on projects around the Southwestern US who always encouraged me to learn the Morse Code and get a ham license. Although not a Amateur operator yet, I started installing and testing lots of antennas. Bigger was always better!
Below is the 50KW AM SW broadcast antenna that realy got me interested in Amateur radio... I put this tower and antenna up in 1985 for short wave station KJES in S. NM. The two Broadcast Engineers that were in charge of this job were hams and tested this antenna one afternoon with an Icom HF transciever. You should of heard the pile up this one caused during testing on the ham bands on 40M with signal reports from the West Coast of S9+ 40 to 60 dB and questions about how much power they were running. When asked, and they reported 100W, everyone wanted to know about this antenna. How many elements? You're pegging my S-meter with 100W !!!
This was my first HF antenna installation
A 82' (25M) boom, 19 elem. 50KW 6-30 MHz Log Periodic antenna modified to 100' boom and 20 elements at 100' (30M) AGL
Structure Weight - 6490 lbs. (2950 kg)
It looks big, but wait...
(viewed from 1/4 mile away)
That BIG antenna and tower below is NOT MINE, ... but I did install it, and it is what interested me in HF antennas and Amateur radio!!!
The Tower
Here is the custom designed Adelphon Landmark tower going up, that big pipe in the center is the 18" O.D. x 1" wall mast
Yes, that's me, hanging off the end of that boom in 1985
The 100' boom 19 element rotating 3-30 MHz LP antenna at 105'. That's N5SDO out on the end tightening up the rudder I just installed that helps the antenna to turn into the wind in case of high winds. This monster is designed to withstand 100 MPH sustained winds although it automatically shuts down transmission and turns into the wind should the winds reach 75 MPH. That's my helper Sterling on the left acting as a human counterweight (He wouldn't go any farther out than there, hi hi).
Quite a bids eye view from out on the end of that boom (I always wondered what a bird felt like sitting on a TV antenna).
I did get licensed a few years later and became a 5 wpm novice, and was granted my original Novice callsign KB5ONI, effective 12-31-1990. I upgraded to Technician a couple of months later receiving my current call sign N5SDO on 2-12-91. Finally, I was on HF myself enjoying SSB and CW contacts on 10M.
My first HF transceivers were all tube and hybrid rigs, a Heathkit HW-101, a Swan 500 and a then a Kenwood TS-520SE, and I started out on the digital modes with a Commodore 64 and then my first 286 DOS 3.1 machine soon after, and used them both on VHF packet with an Icom O2AT HT and 5W.
I wanted to work the lower bands and earned my 13 wpm General class ticket on 8-24-93 and Advanced class on 7-9-94. Worked the world with wires on 80 and 40M and 10, 15 and 20M bands with a KT-34XA at 50' using a Kenwood TS-140S and a Henry 2K-4.
I became inactive somewhere around 1998 and traveled around the SW US working as a construction manager on tower projects and cell build-outs, moving several times and ended up selling off the Henry 2K-4 and a lot of unused ham gear along the way. Eventually I decided it had been too long since I had been on HF and started pulling some remaining equipment out of storage in the winter of 2010-2011 and started rebuilding my HF station.
Started up again after being inactive for a dozen years in March 2011.
Upgrades to the shack continue with the addition of QRO capabilities provided by a Henry 2K-3, a Kenwood TL-922A and Big Bertha, a homebrew 2X 3-500Z originally built by Tom W5QI and friends. Thank you Tom, for all your expert advice, in the modifications and the rewiring of the power supply and mods to the RF deck.
The rig here in the shack now is a Kenwood TS-2000 with a TS-B2000 is in the mobile.
I'm using HRD 6.2 now as my main rig control software and for logging and digital modes. It was very much worth the price and is much better than the last free version I had run since 2011.
Antennas here at present are a home made fan dipole on 40/80M at 30', a 5 elem. 10M Hy-Gain LJ-105 at 34 ft. and a rotatable dipole for 10/15/20M at 37'. The KLM KT-34XA long heavy will go back up again on a new tower at 50' or 60' sooner or later too.
The ham shack is always a "work in progress" so never mind all those loose wires running everywhere, like my antennas they are only "temporary", hi hi. Here is how it looked on 8-7-14.
Below is the amp affectionately known as "Big Bertha", a home brew amp, used on 80 and 40M, at home under my workbench. For the upper bands I use a vintage Henry 2K-3 which also runs a pair of 3-500Z's for 80 -10M. A Kenwood TL-922A is in the rack (above) as a backup amp.
( Life's too short for QRP ! ).
A peek inside at the RF decks.
Here is the homebrew with the RF deck slid out the rear for easy access. Below that is the heavy duty 4400V power supply with the RF deck removed. The single filter capacitor (upper left) is a huge Russian K75-40, a 60uF 5kV. PS transformer is out of a Harris transmitter.
This is the original Henry 2K-3 RF deck with the light duty tank coil.
UPDATE - My Henry 2K-3 rebuild is complete and it is back on the air again with a rebuilt RF deck. new tube sockets, and a HD edge wound tank coil..
New tank coil, band switches and a NOS multi-meter and it's working great !
Antennas here at the home QTH.
It is good to have some tower in the air again... well, at least a start. Here is the first 30 ft. of Rohn 25G with 5 el. on 10M and a rotatable dipole for 10, 15 , 20M. Wire dipoles for 40 and 80M are held off the tower with a fiberglass rod and fed from a common feed point with a healthy choke and RG-8. The guys are Phillystran and don't interact with the antennas.
Sept. 3, 2013 and a high desert thunderstorm. Big rain drops coming down... (seen as streaks in the digital photo)
The newest addition to the skyline here is a 40' tiltable flag pole to support a 40-80-160M dipole.
The tilt bracket was made from microwave dish mount brackets attached to one of the elevated guy anchors.
This setup works great, and best of all, the cost was totally FREE.
My HF mobile setup is my Chevy K2500 4x4 with a BB3 screwdriver built by TJ Antennas (T. J. Wilson - KA7W (aka W5QI) shown here with a flat disk cap hat and a fiberglass whip on top.
The TS-B2000 is in the mobile and tucks in behind the seat and gets plenty of air. The remote head is mounted to swivel 120 degrees for operation from the driver or the passengers position. The tuner is bypassed and only used for the back-lit meters for tuning the screwdriver antenna (TNX Tom). Also there is a 700W inverter for powering the laptop and running chargers, etc., with the BB3 control box sitting on top. The solid state amp does 400W for those times when you need just a few more dB. This setup is working very well and I can also connect up the laptop and have full logging and CAT control if needed. I can also remote into the TS-2000 back in the shack while mobile nearby with the Kenwood Sky Command feature which I will be testing.
My other "mobile" is my vintage Harley-Davidson Shovelhead, a 80" 1980 - FXWG Wide Glide. (UHF/VHF)
After over 30 years of commercial tower and antenna installations I still enjoy amateur radio projects.
Recent custom tower/antenna installations in 2011-13. Helping some of my ham friends...
W5QI (aka KA7W) - Tom, in Hamlin, TX. I removed an existing 120' guyed tower Tom had found in the next town and installed it back at his place with Phillystran guys, replacing a 30' push-up mast with a 50' tower for his wires. Special thanks to Dennis W5SE for being the ground crew! (All in a 110 deg. F. Texas heatwave)
KD5IFN (now W5IFN) - Next, the one man tower crew rolled on short notice to help out a friend in real need. Harold in Norman, OK who was still in a wheelchair recovering from riding his old 30' tower to the ground came across a once in a life time deal. One too good to let slip by. But it had to happen right away. Busted up and in a wheelchair or not, that tough old US Navy Senior Chief was determined to get this job done and had me remove, transport, excavate and install the foundation steel, pour the concrete and put back up this fine motorized crank-up tower and antenna at his home QTH. It's a motorized Tri-Ex LM-470 with a Mosely Pro 67B. We did it all without the use of a crane or concrete pump truck and without disturbing that nice white fence and arbor his wife and sister in law built to the right of the house! Everything including the miniature track hoe used for the foundation excavation went through it!
N0SRF - Larry in Durango, CO. Some tower and antenna maintenance. New segmented guys, new coax and a rebuilt A3S trammed back up atop the Rohn 25G tower.
K5SOK - Robert in the Natchez, Mississippi area had me over to his place for a visit after I left Harold's and I helped him change out the top section of his 80' tower, add a third set of guys, trench and run conduit, coax and control lines and install his new three element SteppIR (plus sampling some of the finest food I ever put a fork in). Here's the assembled antenna on the tram line for testing. (It worked Tierra del Fuego one call with 100W on 10M!)
And atop the tower at 82'. That's Robert standing by the base of the tower hauling up the end of his Windom as viewed from his center support tower.
K7ART - STUDIO "B" And some counter weighted stealthy wires for 40 and 80M and a VHF omni high in the pines of the Rim Country in Northern Arizona at Art's studio "B" station.
(No that's not a bear going up that tree)
Six trees were selectively and carefully trimmed of dead limb stubs and lower growth for clearance and to allow the antennas to be easily raised and lowered without hanging up.
Tree trimming completed, we finish up with a bit of humor...
The antennas in this installation are virtually invisible, shielded from view by the numerous pine trees, keeping a nice low profile in the neighborhood (They can't complain about what they don't notice and can't see!) and they put out a great signal.
2013 started out with an invitation to join Hans, AF5AI (aka PA3DPO) and friends in a tower and antenna party high in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains in Tejerras, NM.
The tower is up and next a Mosley TA-33.
After the antenna party the new skyline at AF5AI in 2013.
Next, I headed back to Norman, OK and W5IFN (aka KD5IFN), to help with some tower and antenna maintenance and rotor swap out. Replaced the old HAM IV with a T2X in the Tri-Ex LM470 to better handle the Pro67B.
It was a tight fit but it worked with a little massaging...
Six 5/16" x 1" bolts secure this rotor instead of the four 1/4" bolts. More is better!
The new rotor in place and pinned to the mast with a 1/4" S.S. shear pin bolt as requested.
Back up and turning in the air again. Time to try it out
(Yes, I caught that dipole support rope!)
Ron - K5DJ Now living in Farmington, NM has his 70' Rohn 45G tower and antenna back up in the air again at his new QTH. Special thanks to Don KJ5GQ who assisted in the tower build and antenna work and John KF5YKH who helped us assemble and tram the antenna up on 10-26-2013.
K5DJ's rebuilt TH7DX is back up and at work at 70' just in time for testing during the CQ WW SSB contest. It's working great!
RTTY Ron is back!
KE0PX - Darrel in Durango, CO had an old tilt over tower to replace and a 50' 25G to replace it on its new base.
The antennas and old coax came down as did the old tower and the new tower was 3/5ths up at the end of the first day. The next day the tower was completed and antennas hauled back up, as were two new runs of LMR400 feeding them. You can be sure to hear Darrel on the digital modes again.
KA5JNJ Bruce in Farmington, NM had a 50' crankup tower he didn't need and it had to be removed so we met up one Saturday afternoon in June and here's how it's done without using a trailer.
June - July 2014 : A Colorado project in Cedaredge, CO.
Always up for a challenge, Larry N0SRF and I teamed up for the design, fabrication and installation of four self supporting 40' tilt up masts, loop antenna and balanced feed line.
First a few challenges had to be met. 5' deep excavations and foundations for four self supporting poles were needed.
Tubular sockets were fabbed and run the full 5' length of the 32" concrete piers.
The four poles were then custom fabricated, primed and painted at Larry's QTH near Durango.
Pre-fab completed and loaded, the rest from here on is field fabrication.
First the 10' x 3 1/2" legs are set up and welded into the 5' of 4" sq. tube. Hinge pin is at 8'.
There's Larry - N0SRF hard at work in the heat wave.
Poles are then laid out on horses and welded, cleaned, primed and painted.
Then the base is raised up and pinned to the legs, rigged and tilted up to vertical with my PU truck's front winch and two McKissick block pulleys.
One at the base of the legs and one on the end of the pole and running back to the base again for a two part pull.
Next 700'+ of UV resistant jacketed, copper clad steel weld wire is pulled up with both ends then transitioning directly into a balanced line feeders.
Strain relief at the feed point is a 3' length of 0.44" Phillystran allowing for a super strong feed insulator and also easy adjustment of feeder spacing.
No solder joints at all in this antenna and feed.
Ladder line spreaders were made from 1/4" fiberglass rod and spaced the wire at 11" every 5' for 60 feet running into a plexiglass panel mounted in the shack.
All four poles were also grounded with big #2 tinned solid and a ground rod.
Here is one corner with the Grand Mesa in the background.
UV resistant 900 lb. rated 1/4" Black Dacron braided antenna ropes and 2" nylon pulleys are used to support the wire at 40 feet.
Just another day at the office doing what I like to do.
Atop a mountaintop cell tower in Colorado repairing a lightning damaged strobe beacon in 2011.
Thanks for the lookup, CUL, 73, de Dave/N5SDO
Vistors to my page (and virtual globe).. I thank you! 73
And Yes, I Am Good On QRZ !

NEW YORK (AP) -- Sarah Palin says she didn't know her daughter Bristol was sexually active before she learned the teenager was pregnant.
The former vice presidential candidate told ABC's Barbara Walters: "Truthfully, we were devastated."
Bristol was a high school senior when she gave birth to son Tripp in December. Her pregnancy was publicly announced just after Sarah Palin accepted John McCain's invitation to be his running mate.
ABC released that exchange between Walters and Palin on Saturday. Portions of their interview begin airing Tuesday on "Good Morning America" and will be shown at length Friday on "20/20". Palin is promoting her new book, "Going Rogue."

A′bbacy. n. s. [Lat. abbatia.] The rights or privileges of an abbot. See Abbey.
According to Felinus, an abbacy is the dignity itself, since an abbot is a term or word of dignity, and not of office; and, therefore, even a secular person, who has the care of souls, is sometimes, in the canon law, also stiled an abbot.Ayliffe's Parergon Juris Canonici.

Questions about Excelsior
- 0Jan 3, '13 by angelkayHi All, I am currently living in CA, I looked at the CA BRN carefully and if I read right, CA will take graduates of Excelsior, provided they have the required amount of clinical practice to meet the CA BRN's standards. Also, if I read right, one might have to take the NCLEX again. I could have read it wrong but I read it multiple times but I want to make sure. I emailed the CA BRN to see what answer they give me. Does anyone have any information to share?

Osho continues:
"When Jesus was there, Jews could not accept him as religious: he and his followers were a 'cult.'
"Jesus is a religious man so there was the fragrance of religion around him, and those who were sensitive, available, receptive, came close to Jesus. This coming to Jesus was not a question of any intellectual conviction; it was more like a love affair. They simply fell in love with the man.
"The religious man never converts anybody, but his presence inspires many people to be with him. A religious person has no followers, only fellow travelers – it is impossible for a religious person to insult somebody by calling him a follower.
"When Jesus was crucified, a strange thing happened, something that has happened to almost all the religions. The same type of people who had crucified Jesus – the rabbis, the priesthood – the same type of people gathered around the dead religious phenomenon, which had gone, which was not there anymore.
"It is just like the fragrance of a flower. The flower is gone, the fragrance lingers on a little – and then it is lost. Religion cannot have a continuity.
"It will always be individual, here and there.
"One individual becomes enlightened and suddenly people start becoming attracted towards him as if by a magnetic force.
"Jesus is not an intellectual; he is not even educated. He is not a theologian; he cannot argue for God or for religion. In all his teachings there is no argument, they are statements. A philosopher argues, a religious person states.
"The philosopher argues because he does not know; it is through argument that he wants to come to a conclusion. But the religious person knows it. He states it, it is a declaration – and he also knows that there is no way to prove it. No argument is going to be supportive of it.
"But once that magnet disappears The priest is the most cunning part of humanity – and clever. He is a businessman, he sees the opportunity of a great business. While Jesus is alive, it is dangerous to be with him. No businessman will come close to him – only gamblers may risk it and be with him."

In Flash the Line tools used to draw lines. To use the Line tool, select the Line tool through the toolbar. Once you've selected the Line tool, the Properties panel updates to show Line tool options so you can adjust the stroke of the line. You can click the color swatch for the stroke in the Properties panel to open a color picker. I'm just going to leave black as the stroke. You can use the slider to adjust the stroke height. You can also use the text field. I'll set the stroke height to one. You can adjust the style of the stroke.
I'm going to leave the stroke at Solid for now. If you want a customized style, you can do that as well. So you can choose a base type and then you can customize the settings by adjusting thickness, sharpness, and varying other options for each type. I'm just going to click Cancel. The Scale option allows you to control how obvious will appear in the Flash Player when they're scaled. If you choose the Normal option and draw a shape on the Stage and scale that shape up, the stroke will scale with the shape.
For example if you drew a square on the Stage that had a stroke of one and you scaled it up five times bigger, the stroke would also increase in height as well. If you choose None, the stroke will stay the same size that you set initially. So that same square would have a stroke of one and matter how big you scaled it, or how small. Horizontal only adjusts the height of the stroke when an object is scaled horizontally and Vertical only adjusts the height of the stroke win the object is scaled vertically.
I'm going to leave Normal set right now. Hinting places anchor points at exact pixels. What that means is when you're drawing a line if you're halfway between one pixel and another pixel Flash will automatically snap to the nearest pixel. The reason why this feature exists is so that you don't drop anchor points in between pixels, which could render blurry in the Flash Player. So I'll leave Hinting checked. Cap determines how a stroke will look when it ends and Join determines how a stroke will appear when a one line segment connection with another line segment.
So you can round them. You can bevel them. Or you can set the miter. I'm going to leave the default Round checked. So now I'll draw line on the Stage. To draw a line, click and drag. If you hold the shift key and a keyboard the line will constrain to 45 degree angles. So i'll release my mouse button and create the line. So using the Line tools you can draw lines and even adjust the settings for your lines through the Properties panel.

The synagogue was the place where Jews gathered for instruction and worship in the New Testament period. The Greek word synagoge [sunagwghv] means "assembly" and can refer simply to the gathering of people itself ( James 2:2 ) or to the building in which they gather ( Luke 7:5 ). The origins of the synagogue are obscure, but they probably extend back at least to the period of Ezra. At the time of the New Testament, synagogues were found throughout the Roman Empire as local centers for the study of the law and for worship. As such, they served a different role in the life of the Jewish people than did the Jerusalem temple, with its focus on the sacrificial cult.
Synagogue services included prayers, the reading of Scripture, and, usually, a sermon explaining the Scripture. The chief administrative officer was the synagogue ruler ( Mark 5:22 ; Luke 13:14 ; Acts 13:15 ; Acts 18:8 Acts 18:17 ), who was assisted by an executive officer who handled the details of the synagogue service ( Luke 4:20 ). Laypeople were allowed to participate in the services, especially in the reading of the prayers and the Scripture ( Luke 4:16-20 ). Visiting sages could be invited to provide the sermon ( Luke 4:21 ; Acts 13:15 ). Synagogues were attended by both men and women, as well as by God-fearing Gentiles who were committed to learning more about the God of the Jews ( Acts 17:4 Acts 17:12 ).
In the New Testament synagogues are occasionally mentioned merely in their role as Jewish institutions. The people at Capernaum, for example, commend to Jesus a certain centurion as one who "loves our nation and has built our synagogue" ( Luke 7:5 ). At the Jerusalem council James notes that "Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath" ( Acts 15:21 ). Paul, at his trial before Felix, observes that his accusers "did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple, or stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or anywhere else" in Jerusalem ( Acts 24:12 ). Indeed, in an early letter to Jewish Christians James even refers to their gatherings as "synagogues" ( 2:2 ).
Yet for the most part synagogues take on a larger meaning in the New Testament. In particular, synagogues frequently serve as places of God's revelatory activity. At several points the Gospel writers' summaries of Jesus' ministry include preaching or teaching "in their synagogues" ( Matt 4:23 ; 9:35 ; Mark 1:39 ; Luke 4:15 ; cf. Luke 4:44 ). Specifically, Jesus teaches in the synagogues at Nazareth ( Matt 13:53-58 ; Mark 6:1-6 ; Luke 4:16-30 ) and Capernaum ( Mark 1:21-22 ; John 6:59 ), casts out an evil spirit from a man in the synagogue at Capernaum ( Mark 1:23-27 ), heals a man with a withered hand in an unspecified Galilean synagogue ( Matt 12:9-14 ; Mark 3:1-6 ; Luke 6:6-11 ), and heals a woman crippled for eighteen years in another ( Luke 13:10-17 ). Indeed, Luke's account of the Nazareth incident includes a programmatic self-revelation by Jesus of the very nature of his ministry ( 4:16-21 ).
A similar situation holds in the Book of Acts. Stephen argues powerfully in the Synagogue of the Freedmen in Jerusalem ( 6:9-10 ); Paul preaches in the synagogues of Damascus shortly after his conversion ( 9:20-22 ); and Apollos preaches boldly in the synagogue of Ephesus ( 18:26 ). Indeed, once he begins his missionary journeys Paul consistently uses the synagogue as his initial platform for preaching the gospel as he moves from one city to the next. As was the case with Jesus' synagogue appearance in Luke 4, so also Luke's account of Paul's teaching in the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch not only contains a prototypical sermon ( 13:16-46 ) but also a self-revelatory statement concerning Paul's role as missionary to the Gentiles ( 13:46-47 ). Clearly, synagogues are places where both Jews and Gentiles hear the Word of God proclaimed by God's chosen agents.
Yet despite this display of divine power and teaching in the synagogues, the response of those who encounter Jesus and the apostles in them is mixed. To be sure, those in the Capernaum synagogue are amazed at Jesus' actions, recognize his unique authority, and spread the news about him ( Mark 1:22 Mark 1:27-28 ). But in the Nazareth synagogue an initial amazement turns to offense and Jesus' own amazement at the people's lack of faith ( Matt 13:54-58 ; Mark 6:2-6 ; Luke 4:22-23 ). In Luke's account the people become so furious with Jesus that they try to throw him down the cliff ( 4:28-29 ). John's account of Jesus' bread of life discourse in the synagogue at Capernaum ends with a similar turning against Jesus, though not with violence ( Luke 6:41-42 Luke 6:52 Luke 6:60-61 Luke 6:66 ). The two synagogue healings occur on the Sabbath and thus raise the question of Jesus' understanding of the Sabbath commandment; after the one healing the synagogue ruler is indignant with Jesus ( Luke 13:14 ), and as a result of the other the Pharisees begin to plot to kill Jesus ( Matt 12:14 ; Mark 3:6 ).
Again the situation in Acts is similar. Paul's synagogue preaching frequently results in Jews and Gentiles coming to faith ( Acts 13:42-44 Acts 13:48 [Pisidian Antioch]; 14:1 [Iconium]; 17:1-4 [Thessalonica], 10-12 [Berea]; cf. 18:4-8 [Corinth], 20 [Ephesus]). Yet members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen oppose Stephen and bring about his martyrdom ( 6:9-14 ); an initial astonishment on the part of the Jews in Damascus turns into a conspiracy to kill Paul ( 9:21-24 ); and Jews oppose Paul's synagogue preaching in Pisidian Antioch ( 13:45 ), Corinth ( 18:6 ), and Ephesus ( 19:9 ). Jewish opposition is such that in Corinth and Ephesus Paul is forced to move his teaching outside the synagogue ( 18:7 ; 19:9 ), and in Pisidian Antioch he is even expelled from the region ( 13:50 ). In addition, in both Pisidian Antioch and Corinth Paul responds to the opposition by resolving to turn his attention to the Gentiles ( 13:46 ; 18:6 ). Thus, synagogues serve as places where both Jews and Gentiles respond positively to the Word of God, yet also where other Jews oppose it. They therefore serve a certain transition role as the proclamation of the gospel moves from a focus on Jews and God-fearing Gentiles (within the synagogue) to one directed primarily to Gentiles (outside the synagogue).
The opposition that Paul encounters in certain synagogues is consistent with Jesus' warnings that synagogues will be places of persecution. Jesus tells his disciples that they will be delivered to synagogue authorities ( Luke 12:11 ; 21:12 ), flogged in synagogues ( Matt 10:17 ; 23:34 ; Mark 13:9 ), and even put out of synagogues ( John 16:2 ). The pre-Christian Paul himself travels from synagogue to synagogue in his relentless zeal to imprison, beat, and otherwise punish Christians ( Acts 9:2 ; 22:19 ; 26:11 ).
Despite such warnings and instances of persecution, certain synagogue rulers fare well in the New Testament. Jesus responds to Jarius' plea by raising his twelve-year-old daughter from the dead ( Matthew 9:18-19 Matthew 9:23-25 ; Mark 5:21-24 Mark 5:35-43 ; Luke 8:40-42 Luke 8:49-56 ); the synagogue rulers at Pisidian Antioch invite Paul and Barnabas to preach ( Acts 13:15 ); and Crispus and his household are among the small number of Jews at Corinth who believe in the Lord ( Acts 18:8 ). Yet one synagogue ruler is indignant when Jesus heals a crippled woman on the Sabbath ( Luke 13:14 ), and another, Sosthenes (who may have become a Christian later cf. 1 Cor 1:1 ), is beaten by his fellow Jews at Corinth when their legal maneuvers against Paul fail ( Acts 18:17 ).
Some associated with synagogues do not fare as well as the synagogue rulers. Jesus criticizes those who flaunt their religiosity by seeking recognition in the synagogues for their almsgiving and prayer ( Matthew 6:2 Matthew 6:5 ) and loving the most important seats in the synagogue ( Matt 23:6 ; Mark 12:39 ; Luke 11:43 ; 20:46 ). These people are variously identified as teachers of the law ( Mark 12:39 ; Luke 20:46 ), Pharisees ( Luke 11:43 ), teachers of the law and Pharisees ( Matt 23:6 ), and hypocrites ( Revelation 6:2 Revelation 6:5 ). Such criticism indicts neither synagogues nor the majority of the Jews who attend them, but it does show how synagogues could be misused by those concerned with self-promotion.
The harshest words concerning synagogues are found in the Book of Revelation. In the letters to the seven churches Jesus twice speaks of the synagogue of Satan ( 2:9 ; 3:9 ). He notes that these people claim to be Jews, but are not; rather, they are liars and are guilty of slander. Such individuals will be responsible for the coming persecution of the church at Smyrna ( 2:10 ) and will be brought to fall down before the church at Philadelphia and acknowledge that Jesus has loved it ( 3:9 ). Such language seems to be indicative of the widening gulf between Judaism and Christianity by the end of the first century and of the tendency to view the church increasingly in terms formerly associated with the Jews ( 1:5-6 ; 7:3-17 ; 14:1-5 ; 21:9-22:5 ).

(Gr. sunagoge, i.e., "an assembly"), found only once in the Authorized Version of Psalms 74:8 , where the margin of Revised Version has "places of assembly," which is probably correct; for while the origin of synagogues is unknown, it may well be supposed that buildings or tents for the accommodation of worshippers may have existed in the land from an early time, and thus the system of synagogues would be gradually developed.
Some, however, are of opinion that it was specially during the Babylonian captivity that the system of synagogue worship, if not actually introduced, was at least reorganized on a systematic plan ( Ezekiel 8:1 ; 14:1 ). The exiles gathered together for the reading of the law and the prophets as they had opportunity, and after their return synagogues were established all over the land ( Ezra 8:15 ; Nehemiah 8:2 ). In after years, when the Jews were dispersed abroad, wherever they went they erected synagogues and kept up the stated services of worship ( Acts 9:20 ; 13:5 ; 17:1 ; 17:17 ; 18:4 ). The form and internal arrangements of the synagogue would greatly depend on the wealth of the Jews who erected it, and on the place where it was built. "Yet there are certain traditional pecularities which have doubtless united together by a common resemblance the Jewish synagogues of all ages and countries. The arrangements for the women's place in a separate gallery or behind a partition of lattice-work; the desk in the centre, where the reader, like Ezra in ancient days, from his 'pulpit of wood,' may 'open the book in the sight of all of people and read in the book of the law of God distinctly, and give the sense, and cause them to understand the reading' ( Nehemiah 8:4 Nehemiah 8:8 ); the carefully closed ark on the side of the building nearest to Jerusalem, for the preservation of the rolls or manuscripts of the law; the seats all round the building, whence 'the eyes of all them that are in the synagogue' may 'be fastened' on him who speaks ( Luke 4:20 ); the 'chief seats' ( Matthew 23:6 ) which were appropriated to the 'ruler' or 'rulers' of the synagogue, according as its organization may have been more or less complete;", these were features common to all the synagogues.
Where perfected into a system, the services of the synagogue, which were at the same hours as those of the temple, consisted, (1) of prayer, which formed a kind of liturgy, there were in all eighteen prayers; (2) the reading of the Scriptures in certain definite portions; and (3) the exposition of the portions read. (See Luke 4:15 Luke 4:22 ; Acts 13:14 .)
The synagogue was also sometimes used as a court of judicature, in which the rulers presided ( Matthew 10:17 ; Mark 5:22 ; Luke 12:11 ; 21:12 ; Acts 13:15 ; 22:19 ); also as public schools.
The establishment of synagogues wherever the Jews were found in sufficient numbers helped greatly to keep alive Israel's hope of the coming of the Messiah, and to prepare the way for the spread of the gospel in other lands. The worship of the Christian Church was afterwards modelled after that of the synagogue.
Christ and his disciples frequently taught in the synagogues ( Matthew 13:54 ; Mark 6:2 ; John 18:20 ; Acts 13:5 Acts 13:15 Acts 13:44 ; 14:1 ; Acts 17:2-4 Acts 17:10 Acts 17:17 ; Acts 18:4 Acts 18:26 ; 19:8 ).
To be "put out of the synagogue," a phrase used by ( John 9:22 ; 12:42 ; 16:2 ), means to be excommunicated.

1. Name:
Synagogue, Greek sunagoge, "gathering" (Acts 13:43), "gathering-place" (Luke 7:5), was the name applied to the Jewish place of worship in later Judaism in and outside of Palestine Proseuche, "a place of prayer" (Acts 16:13), was probably more of the nature of an enclosure, marking off the sacred spot from the profane foot, than of a roofed building like a synagogue. Sabbateion in Ant, XV, i, 6, 2, most probably also meant synagogue. In the Mishna we find for synagogue beth ha-keneceth, in the Targums and Talmud be-khenishta', or simply kenishta'. The oldest Christian meetings and meeting-places were modeled on the pattern of the synagogues, and, in Christian-Palestinian Aramaic the word kenishta' is used for the Christian church (compare Zahn, Tatian's Diatessaron, 335).
2. Origin:
That the synagogue was, in the time of our Lord, one of the most important religious institutions of the Jews is clear from the fact that it was thought to have been instituted by Moses (Apion, ii, 17; Philo, De Vita Moses, iii.27; compare Targum Jer to Exodus 18:20). It must have come into being during the Babylonian exile. At that time the more devout Jews, far from their native land, having no sanctuary or altar, no doubt felt drawn from time to time, especially on Sabbath and feast days, to gather round those who were specially pious and God-fearing, in order to listen to the word of God and engage in some kind of worship. That such meetings were not uncommon is made probable by Ezekiel 14:1; 20:1. This would furnish a basis for the institution of the synagogue. After the exile the synagogue remained and even developed as a counterpoise to the absolute sacerdotalism of the temple, and must have been felt absolutely necessary for the Jews of the Dispersion. Though at first it was meant only for the exposition of the Law, it was natural that in the course of time prayers and preaching should be added to the service. Thus these meetings, which at first were only held on Sabbaths and feast days, came also to be held on other days, and at the same hours with the services in the temple. The essential aim, however, of the synagogue was not prayer, but instruction in the Law for all classes of the people. Philo calls the synagogues "houses of instruction, where the philosophy of the fathers and all manner of virtues were taught" (compare Matthew 4:23; Mark 1:21; 6:2; Luke 4:15,33; 6:6; 13:10; John 6:59; 18:20; CAp, ii, 17).
3. Spread of Synagogues:
In Palestine the synagogues were scattered all over the country, all the larger towns having one or more (e.g. Nazareth, Matthew 13:54; Capernaum, Matthew 12:9). In Jerusalem, in spite of the fact that the Temple was there, there were many synagogues, and all parts of the Diaspora were represented by particular synagogues (Acts 6:9). Also in heathen lands, wherever there was a certain number of Jews, they had their own synagogue:
e.g. Damascus (Acts 9:2), Salamis (Acts 13:5), Antioch of Pisidia (Acts 13:14), Thessalonica (Acts 17:1), Corinth (Acts 18:4), Alexandria (Philo, Leg Ad Cai, xx), Rome (ibid., xxiii). The papyrus finds of recent years contain many references to Jewish synagogues in Egypt, from the time of Euergetes (247-221 BC) onward. According to Philo (Quod omnis probus liber sit, xii, et al.) the Essenes had their own synagogues, and, from 'Abhoth 3 10, it seems that "the people of the land," i.e. the masses, especially in the country, who were far removed from the influence of the scribes, and were even opposed to their narrow interpretation of the Law had their own synagogues.
4. The Building:
(1) The Site.
There is no evidence that in Palestine the synagogues were always required to be built upon high ground, or at least that they should overlook all other houses (compare PEFS, July, 1878, 126), though we read in the Talmud that this was one of the requirements (Tos Meghillah, edition Zunz, 4:227; Shabbath 11a). From Acts 16:13 it does not follow that synagogues were intentionally built outside the city, and near water for the sake of ceremonial washing (compare Monatsschr. fur Gesch. und Wissensch. des Judenthums, 1889, 167-70; HJP II, 370).
(2) The Structure.
Of the style of the architecture we have no positive records. From the description in the Talmud of the synagogue at Alexandria (Toc Cukkah, edition Zunz, 198 20; Cukkah 51b one imagrees the synagogues to have been modeled on the pattern of the temple or of the temple court. From the excavations in Palestine we find that in the building the stone of the country was used. On the lintels of the doors were different forms of ornamentation, e.g. seven-branched candlesticks, an open flower between two paschal lambs, or vine leaves with bunches of grapes, or, as in Capernaum, a pot of manna between two representations of Aaron's rod. The inside plan "is generally that of two double colonnades, which seem to have formed the body of the synagogue, the aisles East and West being probably used as passages. The intercolumnar distance is very small, never greater than 9 1/2 ft." (Edersheim). Because of a certain adaptation of the corner columns at the northern end, Edersheim supposes that a woman's gallery was once erected there. It does not appear, however, from the Old Testament or New Testament or the oldest Jewish tradition that there was any special gallery for women. It should be noted, as against this conclusion, that in De Vita Contemplativa, attributed by some to Philo, a certain passage (sec. iii) seems to imply the existence of such a gallery.
(3) The Furniture.
We only know that there was a movable ark in which the rolls of the Law and the Prophets were kept. It was called 'aron ha-qodhesh, but chiefly tebhah (Meghillah 3 1; Nedharim 5 5; Ta`anith 2 1,2), and it stood facing the entrance. According to Ta`anith 15a it was taken out and carried in a procession on fast days. In front of the ark, and facing the congregation, were the "chief seats" (see CHIEF SEATS) for the rulers of the synagogue and the learned men (Matthew 23:6). From Nehemiah 8:4 and 9:4 it appears that the bemah (Jerusalem Meghillah 3 1), a platform from which the Law was read, although it is not mentioned in the New Testament, was of ancient date, and in use in the time of Christ.
5. The Officials:
(1) The Elders.
These officials (Luke 7:3) formed the local tribunal, and in purely Jewish localities acted as a Committee of Management of the affairs of the synagogue (compare Berakhoth 4 7; Nedharim 5 5; Meghillah 3 1). To them belonged, most probably, among other things, the power to excommunicate (compare Ezra 10:8; Luke 6:22; John 9:22; 12:42; 16:2; `Edhuyoth 5 6; Ta`anith 3 8; Middoth 2 2).
(2) The Ruler.
Greek archisunagogos (Mark 5:35; Luke 8:41,49; 13:14; Acts 18:8,17), Hebrew ro'sh ha-keneseth (Sotah 7 7,8). In some synagogues there were several rulers (Mark 5:22; Acts 13:15). They were most probably chosen from among the elders. It was the ruler's business to control the synagogue services, as for instance to decide who was to be called upon to read from the Law and the Prophets (Yoma' 7 1) and to preach (Acts 13:15; compare Luke 13:14); he had to look after the discussions, and generally to keep order.
(3) The Servant (or Servants).
Greek huperetes; Talmud chazzan (Luke 4:20; Yoma' 7 1; Sotah 7 7,8). He had to see to the lighting of the synagogue and to keep the building clean. He it was who wielded the scourge when punishment had to be meted out to anyone in the synagogue (Matthew 10:17; 23:34; Mark 13:9; Acts 22:19; compare Makkoth 16). From Shabbath 1 3 it seems that the chazzan was also an elementary teacher.
See EDUCATION.
(4) Delegate of the Congregation.
Hebrew sheliach tsibbur (Ro'sh ha-shanah 4 9; Berakhoth 5 5). This office was not permanent, but one was chosen at each meeting by the ruler to fill it, and he conducted the prayers. According to Meghillah 4 5, he who was asked to read the Scriptures was also expected to read the prayers. He had to be a man of good character.
(5) The Interpreter.
Hebrew methargeman. It was his duty to translate into Aramaic the passages of the Law and the Prophets which were read in Hebrew (Meghillah 3 3; compare 1 Corinthians 14:28). This also was probably not a permanent office, but was filled at each meeting by one chosen by the ruler.
(6) The Almoners.
(Dema'i 3 1; Kiddushin 4 5). Alms for the poor were collected in the synagogue (compare Matthew 6:2). According to Pe'ah 8 7, the collecting was to be done by at least two persons, and the distributing by at least three.
6. The Service:
(1) Recitation of the "Shema`".
At least ten persons bad to be present for regular worship (Meghillah 4 3; Sanhedhrin 1 6). There were special services on Saturdays and feast days. In order to keep the synagogue services uniform with those of the temple, both were held at the same hours. The order of service was as follows:
the recitation of the shema`, i.e. a confession of God's unity, consisting of the passages Deuteronomy 6:4-9; 11:13-21;. Numbers 15:37-41 (Berakhoth 2 2; Tamidh 5 1). Before and after the recitation of these passages "blessings" were said in connection with the passages (Berakhoth 1 4). This formed a very important part of the liturgy. It was believed to have been ordered by Moses (compare Ant, IV, viii, 13).
(2) Prayers.
The most important prayers were the Shemoneh `esreh, "Eighteen Eulogies," a cycle of eighteen prayers, also called "The Prayer" (Berakhoth 4 3; Ta`anith 2 2). Like the shema` they are very old.
The following is the first of the eighteen:
"Blessed art Thou, the Lord our God, and the God of our fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob: the great, the mighty and the terrible God, the most high God Who showest mercy and kindness, Who createst all things, Who rememberest the pious deeds of the patriarchs, and wilt in love bring a redeemer to their children's children for Thy Name's sake; O King, Helper, Saviour and Shield! Blessed art Thou, O Lord, the Shield of Abraham."
The prayers of the delegate were met with a response of Amen from the congregation.
(3) Reading of the Law and the Prophets.
After prayers the parashah, i.e. the pericope from the Law for that Sabbath, was read, and the interpreter translated verse by verse into Aramaic (Meghillah 3 3). The whole Pentateuch was divided into 154 pericopes, so that in the course of 3 years it was read through in order. After the reading of the Law came the HaphTarah, the pericope from the Prophets for that Sabbath, which the interpreter did not necessarily translate verse by verse, but in paragraphs of 3 verses (Meghillah, loc. cit.).
(4) The Sermon.
After the reading from the Law and the Prophets followed the sermon, which was originally a caustical exposition of the Law, but which in process of time assumed a more devotional character. Anyone in the congregation might be asked by the ruler to preach, or might ask the ruler for permission to preach.
The following example of an old (lst century AD) rabbinic sermon, based on the words, "He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation" (Isaiah 61:10, a verse in the chapter from which Jesus took His text when addressing the synagogue of Nazareth), will serve as an illustration of contemporary Jewish preaching:
"Seven garments the Holy One--blessed be He!--has put on, and will put on from the time the world was created until the hour when He will punish the wicked Edom (i.e. Roman empire). When He created the world, He clothed Himself in honor and majesty, as it is said (Psalms 104:1):
`Thou art clothed in honor and majesty.' Whenever He forgave the sins of Israel, He clothed Himself in white, for we read (Daniel 7:9): `His raiment was white as snow.' When He punishes the peoples of the world, He puts on the garments of vengeance, as it is said (Isaiah 59:17): `He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.' The sixth garment He will put on when the Messiah comes; then He will clothe Himself in a garment of righteousness, for it is said (same place) : `He put on righteousness as a breast-plate, and an helmet of salvation upon His head.' The seventh garment He will put on when He punishes Edom; then He will clothe Himself in 'adhom, i.e. `red,' for it is said (Isaiah 63:2): `Wherefore art Thou red in Thine apparel?' But the garment which He will put upon the Messiah, this will shine afar, from one end of the earth to the other, for it is said (Isaiah 61:10): `As a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland.' And the Israelites will partake of His light, and will say:
`Blessed is the hour when the Messiah shall come!
Blessed the womb out of which He shall come!
Blessed His contemporaries who are eye-witnesses!
Blessed the eye that is honored with a sight of Him!
For the opening of His lips is blessing and peace;
His speech is a moving of the spirits;
The thoughts of His heart are confidence and cheerful-ness;
The speech of His tongue is pardon and forgiveness;
His prayer is the sweet incense of offerings;
His petitions are holiness and purity.
O how blessed is Israel, for whom such has been prepared!
For it is said (Psalms 31:19):
"How great is Thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee" ' "
(Pesiqta', edition Buber).
(5) The Benediction.
After the sermon the benediction was pronounced (by a priest), and the congregation answered Amen (Berakhoth 5 4; Sotah 7 2,3).

.- The coordinator of the Christian Liberation Movement, Oswald Paya, stated March 8 that Cubans are furious with the communist government's justification of Muammar Gaddaffi's crackdown on the people of Libya. Paya emphasized that those in Libya "have the right to stand up and demand a better life."
Paya told Radio Marti that Gaddaffi ordered the killing of Libyans who took to the streets to demand freedom and rights. Paya rejected the justifications for the crackdown offered by Venezuela and Iran and said the actions by the Libyan dictator must be condemned by all.
Dictatorships "are not of the left or the right, they are just dictatorships that take away the rights of the people," he added.
The Libyan people aspire to live in a nation governed by the rule of law, democracy and freedom, Paya said.

A refusal to address the disastrous war on drugs and propose alternatives ignores public demands for change and places cowardice before the fundamental responsibility of creating viable and fair public policies.

Crowe Horwath LLP Upgrades Metals Industry Enterprise Resource Planning System
CHICAGO, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Crowe Horwath LLP, one of the largest public accounting and consulting firms in the U.S., has released a new version of the Crowe Metals Industry Accelerator for Microsoft Dynamics® AX 2012. The newest update of the Crowe Accelerator works with Microsoft's latest generation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) technology, with processes that are specifically configured for the metals industry, including producers, processors, fabricators and service centers.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090902/CL69632LOGO )
"The Crowe Metals Industry Accelerator is the only flexible, scalable solution that addresses the specific needs of the metals industry within the highly popular new Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 platform," said Josh Cole, a principal in Crowe's Performance group. "The accelerator is pre-configured with metals functionality, which dramatically shortens implementation times and improves overall operating efficiency to help manufacturers achieve a better return on their technology investment."
According to Cole, most of the new elements are based on requests from metals manufacturers that Crowe has worked with. These features include the ability to:
- Optimize inventory through a cut plan workbench, a user interface that matches demand for cut sizes of bar, sheet, coil, etc., to available supplies of raw material and remnants;
- Transfer specifications between sales, purchase and production transactions, including inter-company orders;
- Track inventory by quantity (pieces or feet), theoretical weight and actual weight;
- Price in any convertible unit of measure, regardless of the unit by which an item is sold or inventoried;
- Factor dimensional transformation into routings; and
- Automatically calculate the cost allocation for divergent (one-to-many) production.

The Global Intelligence Files
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.

Andean countries meet on Amazon conservation
www.chinaview.cn 2008-05-20 09:18:42 Print
QUITO, May 19 (Xinhua) -- Representatives of Andean organizations
began meeting here Monday to boost efforts to protect the Amazon region.
The Second Partner Encounter of the Initiative for the Conservation of
the Amazon (ICAA), which brought together 20 associations from Bolivia,
Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, is aimed at improving conservation and
sustainable exploitation in the region, according to a communique released
At the five-day meeting, Ecuador will present a proposal on
maintaining oil in the subsoil in the Yasuni Park.
According to experts, the Andean-Amazon region, home to many native
communities, boasts the world's most bio-diversity and contributes
massively to the health of the planet.
The initiative is funded by the U.S. Agency for International
Development and its mission director in Ecuador will attend the meeting.

Girls Generation/SNSD Opinion Article
How "Sexy" is Sooyoung
To most people it is no secret my confusing over SooYoung the "I" shaped member of the group considered sexier then everyone else. I am an American, here the epitome of a sexy is someone with some body fat.
looking at the pic (http://www.asianloverz.com/214/snsd-for-vita-500-pictures/)
I know that Koreans are naturally small boned, low body fat, and short. When I ask a fellow SONE who has the sexiest body of SNSD I plan on hearing Yuri, Sunny, or at least Yoona. When I hear Sooyoung the first thing that pops in is "how can someone with no curves and so skinny be sexy". Granted all SNSD are skinny, I am on of those Sones that don't think all SNSD have true "S" lines.
Call me what you want but Sooyoung has no assets (breast, butt, or thighs) to me. Her only saving grace is her pretty face and her long legs. Someone brought to my attention that Sooyoung and Sunny were placed on a top 100 sexiest woman, Sooyoung being 63. Well I saw that list and according to it SooYoung is sexier then Jennifer Lopez by rank. Sorry I dont buy that crap.
Maybe I am being too hard on her. She says enough times that she hates being so skinny and she might have a complex about it, but her fans I show no mercy towards. How sexy is she? How is she sexier then Yuri (who has hips and a slim waist), Yoona (hips some breast and long legs), or Sunny (big breast and a nice butt).
I am not here to accuse anyone, I genuinely want understanding. Maybe I cant see her sex appeal. To those who are willing to go head to head with me on this so I can understand is all I am asking. I am not saying she is unappealing by any means, but to say she is sexier then people with more body fat on them i don't buy. Please help me understand.

DisappointedAs reviewed by gamjamm on 10/16/2009
I cant believe these tubes were matched. First off,my duet consisted of one tube having a single "O" getter while the other had double "tophat" getters. This by itself does not mean the tubes still cant be matched but you would think they would sent out similar tubes when in sets. Secondly, one tube ran much "hotter than the other. I thought maybe it was my amp so I swapped them around to no avail. I ended up having to bias much colder than I wished just to keep the "hot" tube out of the red. The sound suffers but until I get a real matched pair I will have to live with it. I recommend not going with the sovtek matching system,get a reputable tube amp tech. or groovetubes to match them.10 of 14 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?Thank You for rating this review!

| I got my camera very close because he was occupied and his mouth was full. When he noticed he vibrated his tail. Never kill a king snake. This could have been a copperhead that he was eating.click to enlarge

|Amazing that it can swallow something almost as big as itself. It won't need to eat again for at least a week or two. Great photos!
|Fantastic picture! Here is where my zoom would have been a great help. I don't know if I would have had the nerve to get that close. Mother Nature at her best.
|helen, that is a garder snake he/she is eating. Amazing isn't it!
