With two potential heavyweight Democratic primary contenders threatening to seek his title, it probably should have come as no surprise Wednesday that Gov. Pat Quinn turned his annual State of the State address into a thinly veiled re-election campaign speech.
What may come as more of a surprise — given the governor's low approval ratings — is that he actually can make a fairly strong case for himself when all the accomplishments of his first four years in office are enumerated.
Although often derided for his ability to get things done in Springfield, the fact is that a lot of important and difficult legislation has been approved by the General Assembly and signed into law under Quinn, much of it with mixed popularity.
The continued perception of Quinn's impotence as a leader traces back to the two thorny and interrelated problems he hasn't been able to solve. I'm referring to the fact that Illinois is still broke and that no solution has been found for the biggest underlying cause — the cost of funding the state pension systems for government workers.
Obviously, those are pretty major issues that tend to overshadow everything else and open the door for Quinn's possible Democratic challengers, led by Attorney General Lisa Madigan and former White House Chief of Staff William Daley.
But let's look at some of the achievements Quinn highlighted in Wednesday's speech — and some that he didn't.
◆ Created and funded a long-sought public works program, Illinois Jobs Now, for rebuilding the state's infrastructure.
◆ Overhauled the state's Medicaid program to keep it from going broke.
◆ Changed the workers compensation program to save businesses millions of dollars in insurance premiums.
◆ Legalized civil unions for gays and lesbians.
◆ Established temporary driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.
◆ Approved a bipartisan education-reform package with benchmarks for teacher evaluations.
◆ Ethics reforms including establishing voter recall for Illinois governors, limits on campaign contributions and elimination of the scandal-plagued legislative scholarship program.
◆ Reduced pension benefits for new state employees.
◆ Closed 54 state facilities to save money over opposition from unions and local politicians of both parties.
I'm not saying Quinn was the moving force behind each of these measures, but all of it would have been hard to do without him.
In his speech to lawmakers, Quinn was careful to couch any accomplishments in terms of "we," not "I."
For obvious reasons, Quinn made no mention of one of his biggest achievements as governor: passage of a record state income tax increase. That's still a pretty touchy subject, although it's hard to imagine where the state would be without that revenue — and likewise hard to imagine how Quinn and lawmakers will be able to allow the "temporary" increase to expire.
Quinn also is the governor who abolished the death penalty in Illinois, and who, so far at least, has blocked a massive casino gambling expansion (after allowing video poker to be used to fund his public works program.)
That's not a bad track record, at least from a progressive Democrat's point of view, but please don't mistake this column for an endorsement of Quinn. Sometimes it's just fun to argue a contrarian point of view.
Unless the governor can find a way to shepherd a pension reform bill through the Legislature, it's probably going to be moot anyhow.
As Quinn himself made clear again Wednesday, the state's future is riding on it, because as things stand now, pension costs are threatening both the state's economy and its ability to finance public education.
That will also continue to be the basis on how Quinn's effectiveness as governor is judged.
One of the theme's of Quinn's speech was that "hard is not impossible" — meaning that it will be hard to pass pension legislation but not impossible, as proved by what he and lawmakers have done together over the past four years.
So, too, it will be hard for Pat Quinn to get re-elected given his current low standing with the electorate, but if he can fix the pension problem and effectively argue his case, it's still possible.

No offense to Jeff Keppinger and Mike Fontenot, because I'm sure they are both wonderful guys, but do you all know the phrase "between a rock and a hard place"? The Giants were distinctly there last night, at the (not especially tender) non-tender deadline.
Because San Fran is apparently really tight on cash these days, they could only keep one of the aforementioned guys and in the end, it was Fontenot. Personally, I was more partial to Kepp, but I mean, really? That's not, er, the most fantastic pool to choose from right there. In addition to which, they're pretty much the two people on the roster who I always forgot about, so I'd be lying if I said this move was going to have a big impact on my life.
The other guy they let walk was Eli Whiteside, who I did actually have a bit of an affinity for. I'm not sure if it was the grey hair or the occasional homerun, but I did like having him on the team. Then again, you know how I feel about Chris Stewart, so if this means for playing time for him, then I'm happy. Who knows, Whiteside could get a better gig somewhere else. Looking for a catcher, Rangers? I know you are.
Speaking of which, we have a bit of other news in the former-Giant vein! Aaron Rowand signed a minor league with the (wait for it) Marlins yesterday. I hope he has a good time in Miami and all but, well, they do have a lot, a lot of players. I would guess that's going to be the hardest team to make, out of spring team. Seeing as they have an 80 man roster or so, what with the players they had before they went on the spending spree and the players they have now. They're going to need a couple of planes and buses to take the team anywhere!
And Travis Ishikawa signed a deal with the Brew Crew, which makes me inordinately happy. Stop it with the Prince Fielder comparisons already, people. Trav (fab nickname, right?) was one of the best pinch hitters in the game in 2010 and I think Milwaukee is lucky to have him around.
Yes, I'm still mad about how the Giants (mis)treated him at the ring ceremony at the beginning of the season. Take note, Milwaukee. If you win a championship he needs to be there, uniform and all. Please and thank you.
In other news, Oakland may soon be entirely team-less with the Warriors mulling a move that would put them side-by-side the Giants, the Raiders talking Santa Clara and the A's, of course, pushing San Jose. Nothing seems imminent and the city of Oakland is making their own push now (with a glitzy mock-up featuring a fantastic hotel, no less) but it's a pretty feeble push on their part.
I'm a Giants fan and all, but it still seems pretty stubborn for the Giants to block the San Jose move so firmly. Especially if they get the Warriors next door. Share the love, folks. There's room for everybody. And how much more revenue could they possibly lose? They're already too pressed for money to get Kepp and Font, both.
We have a strange train of events playing out here. But welcome back, Mike Fontenot. I'm sure I'll stop forgetting about you when you completely over-perform in 2012.

Christ anointed by Mary. (1-11) He enters Jerusalem. (12-19) Greeks apply to see Jesus. (20-26) A voice from heaven bears testimony to Christ. (27-33) His discourse with the people. (34-36) Unbelief of the Jews. (37-43) Christ's address to them. (44-50)
Verses 1-11 Christ had formerly blamed Martha for being troubled with much serving. But she did not leave off serving, as some, who when found fault with for going too far in one way, peevishly run too far another way; she still served, but within hearing of Christ's gracious words. Mary gave a token of love to Christ, who had given real tokens of his love to her and her family. God's Anointed should be our Anointed. Has God poured on him the oil of gladness above his fellows, let us pour on him the ointment of our best affections. In Judas a foul sin is gilded over with a plausible pretence. We must not think that those do no acceptable service, who do it not in our way. The reigning love of money is heart-theft. The grace of Christ puts kind comments on pious words and actions, makes the best of what is amiss, and the most of what is good. Opportunities are to be improved; and those first and most vigorously, which are likely to be the shortest. To consult to hinder the further effect of the miracle, by putting Lazarus to death, is such wickedness, malice, and folly, as cannot be explained, except by the desperate enmity of the human heart against God. They resolved that the man should die whom the Lord had raised to life. The success of the gospel often makes wicked men so angry, that they speak and act as if they hoped to obtain a victory over the Almighty himself.
Verses 12-19 Christ's riding in triumph to Jerusalem is recorded by all the evangelists. Many excellent things, both in the word and providence of God, disciples do not understand at their first acquaintance with the things of God. The right understanding of spiritual nature of Christ's kingdom, prevents our misapplying the Scriptures which speak of it.
Verses 20-26 In attendance upon holy ordinances, particularly the gospel passover, the great desire of our souls should be to see Jesus; to see him as ours, to keep up communion with him, and derive grace from him. The calling of the Gentiles magnified the Redeemer. A corn of wheat yields no increase unless it is cast into the ground. Thus Christ might have possessed his heavenly glory alone, without becoming man. Or, after he had taken man's nature, he might have entered heaven alone, by his own perfect righteousness, without suffering or death; but then no sinner of the human race could have been saved. The salvation of souls hitherto, and henceforward to the end of time, is owing to the dying of this Corn of wheat. Let us search whether Christ be in us the hope of glory; let us beg him to make us indifferent to the trifling concerns of this life, that we may serve the Lord Jesus with a willing mind, and follow his holy example.
Verses 27-33 The sin of our souls was the troubled of Christ's soul, when he undertook to redeem and save us, and to make his soul an offering for our sin. Christ was willing to suffer, yet prayed to be saved from suffering. Prayer against trouble may well agree with patience under it, and submission to the will of God in it. Our Lord Jesus undertook to satisfy God's injured honour, and he did it by humbling himself. The voice of the Father from heaven, which had declared him to be his beloved Son, at his baptism, and when he was transfigured, was heard proclaiming that He had both glorified his name, and would glorify it. Christ, reconciling the world to God by the merit of his death, broke the power of death, and cast out Satan as a destroyer. Christ, bringing the world to God by the doctrine of his cross, broke the power of sin, and cast out Satan as a deceiver. The soul that was at a distance from Christ, is brought to love him and trust him. Jesus was now going to heaven, and he would draw men's hearts to him thither. There is power in the death of Christ to draw souls to him. We have heard from the gospel that which exalts free grace, and we have heard also that which enjoins duty; we must from the heart embrace both, and not separate them.
Verses 34-36 The people drew false notions from the Scriptures, because they overlooked the prophecies that spoke of Christ's sufferings and death. Our Lord warned them that the light would not long continue with them, and exhorted them to walk in it, before the darkness overtook them. Those who would walk in the light must believe in it, and follow Christ's directions. But those who have not faith, cannot behold what is set forth in Jesus, lifted up on the cross, and must be strangers to its influence as made known by the Holy Spirit; they find a thousand objections to excuse their unbelief.
Verses 37-43 Observe the method of conversion implied here. Sinners are brought to see the reality of Divine things, and to have some knowledge of them. To be converted, and truly turned from sin to Christ, as their Happiness and Portion. God will heal them, will justify and sanctify them; will pardon their sins, which are as bleeding wounds, and mortify their corruptions, which are as lurking diseases. See the power of the world in smothering convictions, from regard to the applause or censure of men. Love of the praise of men, as a by-end in that which is good, will make a man a hypocrite when religion is in fashion, and credit is to be got by it; and love of the praise of men, as a base principle in that which is evil, will make a man an apostate, when religion is in disgrace, and credit is to be lost for it.
Verses 44-50 Our Lord publicly proclaimed, that every one who believed on him, as his true disciple, did not believe on him only, but on the Father who sent him. Beholding in Jesus the glory of the Father, we learn to obey, love, and trust in him. By daily looking to Him, who came a Light into the world, we are more and more freed from the darkness of ignorance, error, sin, and misery; we learn that the command of God our Saviour is everlasting life. But the same word will seal the condemnation of all who despise it, or neglect it.
John 12:1-11 . THE ANOINTING AT BETHANY.
1-8. six days before the passover--that is, on the sixth day before it; probably after sunset on Friday evening, or the commencement of the Jewish sabbath preceding the passover.
2. Martha served--This, with what is afterwards said of Mary's way of honoring her Lord, is so true to the character in which those two women appear in Luke 10:38-42 , as to constitute one of the strongest and most delightful confirmations of the truth of both narratives. (See also on John 11:20 ).
Lazarus . . . sat at the table--"Between the raised Lazarus and the healed leper (Simon, Mark 14:3 ), the Lord probably sits as between two trophies of His glory" [STIER].
3. spikenard--or pure nard, a celebrated aromatic ( Solomon 1:12 ).
anointed the feet of Jesus--and "poured it on His head" ( Matthew 26:7 , 14:3 ). The only use of this was to refresh and exhilarate--a grateful compliment in the East, amidst the closeness of a heated atmosphere, with many guests at a feast. Such was the form in which Mary's love to Christ, at so much cost to herself, poured itself out.
4. Judas . . . who should betray him--For the reason why this is here
5. three hundred pence--about $50.
6. had the bag--the purse.
bare what was put therein--not, bare it off by theft, though that he did; but simply, had charge of its contents, was treasurer to Jesus and the Twelve. How worthy of notice is this arrangement, by which an avaricious and dishonest person was not only taken into the number of the Twelve, but entrusted with the custody of their little property! The purposes which this served are obvious enough; but it is further noticeable, that the remotest hint was never given to the eleven of His true character, nor did the disciples most favored with the intimacy of Jesus ever suspect him, till a few minutes before he voluntarily separated himself from their company--for ever!
7. said Jesus, Let her alone, against the day of my burying hath she done this--not that she thought of His burial, much less reserved any of her nard to anoint her dead Lord. But as the time was so near at hand when that office would have to be performed, and she was not to have that privilege even alter the spices were brought for the purpose ( Mark 16:1 ), He lovingly regards it as done now.
8. the poor always . . . with you--referring to Deuteronomy 15:11 .
but me . . . not always--a gentle hint of His approaching departure. He adds ( Mark 14:8 ), "She hath done what she could," a noble testimony, embodying a principle of immense importance. "Verily, I say unto you, Wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her" ( Matthew 26:13 , 14:9 ). "In the act of love done to Him she had erected to herself an eternal monument, as lasting as the Gospel, the eternal word of God. From generation to generation this remarkable prophecy of the Lord has been fulfilled; and even we, in explaining this saying of the Redeemer, of necessity contribute to its accomplishment" [OLSHAUSEN]. "Who but Himself had the power to ensure to any work of man, even if resounding in his own time through the whole earth, an imperishable remembrance in the stream of history? Behold once more here, the majesty of His royal judicial supremacy in the government of the world, in this, Verily I say unto you" [STIER]. Beautiful are the lessons here: (1) Love to Christ transfigures the humblest services. All, indeed, who have themselves a heart value its least outgoings beyond the most costly mechanical performances; but how does it endear the Saviour to us to find Him endorsing the principle as His own standard in judging of character and deeds!
What though in poor and humble guise Thou here didst sojourn, cottage-born, Yet from Thy glory in the skies Our earthly gold Thou didst not scorn. For Love delights to bring her best, And where Love is, that offering evermore is blest. Love on the Saviour's dying head Her spikenard drops unblam'd may pour, May mount His cross, and wrap Him dead In spices from the golden shore. KEBLE. |
(2) Works of utility should never be set in opposition to the promptings of self-sacrificing love, and the sincerity of those who do so is to be suspected. Under the mask of concern for the poor at home, how many excuse themselves from all care of the perishing heathen abroad. (3) Amidst conflicting duties, that which our "hand (presently) findeth to do" is to be preferred, and even a less duty only to be done now to a greater that can be done at any time. (4) "If there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not" ( 2 Corinthians 8:12 ).--"She hath done what she could" ( Mark 14:8 ). (5) As Jesus beheld in spirit the universal diffusion of His Gospel, while His lowest depth of humiliation was only approaching, so He regards the facts of His earthly history as constituting the substance of this Gospel, and the relation of them as just the "preaching of this Gospel." Not that preachers are to confine themselves to a bare narration of these facts, but that they are to make their whole preaching turn upon them as its grand center, and derive from them its proper vitality; all that goes before this in the Bible being but the preparation for them, and all that follows but the sequel.
9-11. Crowds of the Jerusalem Jews hastened to Bethany, not so much to see Jesus, whom they knew to be there, as to see dead Lazarus alive; and this, issuing in their accession to Christ, led to a plot against the life of Lazarus also, as the only means of arresting the triumphs of Jesus (see John 12:19 )--to such a pitch had these chief priests come of diabolical determination to shut out the light from themselves, and quench it from the earth!
John 12:12-19 . CHRIST'S TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM.
and Luke 19:29-36 ).12. On the next day--the Lord's day, or Sunday which the paschal lamb was set apart to be "kept up until the fourteenth day of the same month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel were to kill it in the evening" ( Exodus 12:3 Exodus 12:6 ). Even so, from the day of this solemn entry into Jerusalem, "Christ our Passover" was virtually set apart to be "sacrificed for us" ( 1 Corinthians 5:7 ).
16. when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, &c.--The Spirit, descending on them from the glorified Saviour at Pentecost, opened their eyes suddenly to the true sense of the Old Testament, brought vividly to their recollection this and other Messianic predictions, and to their unspeakable astonishment showed them that they, and all the actors in these scenes, had been unconsciously fulfilling those predictions.
John 12:20-36 . SOME GREEKS DESIRE TO SEE JESUS--THE DISCOURSE AND SCENE THEREUPON.
20-22. Greeks--Not Grecian Jews, but Greek proselytes to the Jewish faith, who were wont to attend the annual festivals, particularly this primary one, the Passover.
The same came therefore to Philip . . . of Bethsaida--possibly as being from the same quarter.
saying, Sir, we would see Jesus--certainly in a far better sense than Zaccheus ( Luke 19:3 ). Perhaps He was then in that part of the temple court to which Gentile proselytes had no access. "These men from the west represent, at the end of Christ's life, what the wise men from the east represented at its beginning; but those come to the cross of the King, even as these to His manger" [STIER].
22. Philip . . . telleth Andrew--As follow townsmen of Bethsaida ( John 1:44 ), these two seem to have drawn to each other.
Andrew and Philip tell Jesus--The minuteness of these details, while they add to the graphic force of the narrative, serves to prepare us for something important to come out of this introduction.
23-26. Jesus answered them, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified--that is, They would see Jesus, would they? Yet a little moment, and they shall see Him so as now they dream not of. The middle wall of partition that keeps them out from the commonwealth of Israel is on the eve of breaking down, "and I, if I be lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men unto Me"; I see them "flying as a cloud, and as doves to their cotes"--a glorious event that will be for the Son of man, by which this is to be brought about. It is His death He thus sublimely and delicately alluded to. Lost in the scenes of triumph which this desire of the Greeks to see Him called up before His view, He gives no direct answer to their petition for an interview, but sees the cross which was to bring them gilded with glory.
24. Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit--The necessity of His death is here brightly expressed, and its proper operation and fruit--life springing forth out of death--imaged forth by a beautiful and deeply significant law of the vegetable kingdom. For a double reason, no doubt, this was uttered--to explain what he had said of His death, as the hour of His own glorification, and to sustain His own Spirit under the agitation which was mysteriously coming over it in the view of that death.
25. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life Did our Lord mean to exclude Himself from the operation of the great principle here expressed--self-renunciation, the law of self-preservation; and its converse, self-preservation, the law of self-destruction? On the contrary, as He became Man to exemplify this fundamental law of the Kingdom of God in its most sublime form, so the very utterance of it on this occasion served to sustain His own Spirit in the double prospect to which He had just alluded.
26. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: If any man serve me, him will my Father honour--Jesus here claims the same absolute subjection to Himself, as the law of men's exaltation to honor, as He yielded to the Father.
27, 28. Now is my soul troubled--He means at the prospect of His death, just alluded to. Strange view of the Cross this, immediately after representing it as the hour of His glory! ( John 12:23 ). But the two views naturally meet, and blend into one. It was the Greeks, one might say, that troubled Him. Ah! they shall see Jesus, but to Him it shall be a costly sight.
and what shall I say?--He is in a strait betwixt two. The death of the cross was, and could not but be, appalling to His spirit. But to shrink from absolute subjection to the Father, was worse still. In asking Himself, "What shall I say?" He seems as if thinking aloud, feeling His way between two dread alternatives, looking both of them sternly in the face, measuring, weighing them, in order that the choice actually made might be seen, and even by himself the more vividly felt, to be a profound, deliberate, spontaneous election.
Father, save me from this hour--To take this as a question--"Shall I say, Father, save me," &c.--as some eminent editors and interpreters do, is unnatural and jejune. It is a real petition, like that in Gethsemane, "Let this cup pass from Me"; only whereas there He prefaces the prayer with an "If it be possible," here He follows it up with what is tantamount to that--"Nevertheless for this cause came I unto this hour." The sentiment conveyed, then, by the prayer, in both cases, is twofold: (1) that only one thing could reconcile Him to the death of the cross--its being His Father's will He should endure it--and (2) that in this view of it He yielded Himself freely to it. What He recoils from is not subjection to His Father's will: but to show how tremendous a self-sacrifice that obedience involved, He first asks the Father to save Him from it, and then signifies how perfectly He knows that He is there for the very purpose of enduring it. Only by letting these mysterious words speak their full meaning do they become intelligible and consistent. As for those who see no bitter elements in the death of Christ--nothing beyond mere dying--what can they make of such a scene? and when they place it over against the feelings with which thousands of His adoring followers have welcomed death for His sake, how can they hold Him up to the admiration of men?
28. Father, glorify thy name--by a present testimony.
I have both glorified it--referring specially to the voice from heaven at His baptism, and again at His transfiguration.
and will glorify it again--that is, in the yet future scenes of His still deeper necessity; although this promise was a present and sublime testimony, which would irradiate the clouded spirit of the Son of man.
29-33. The people therefore that stood by, said, It thundered; others, An angel spake to him--some hearing only a sound, others an articulate, but to them unintelligible voice.
30. Jesus . . . said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes--that is, probably, to correct the unfavorable impressions which His momentary agitation and mysterious prayer for deliverance may have produced on the by-standers.
31. Now is the judgment of this world--the world that "crucified the Lord of glory" ( 1 Corinthians 2:8 ), considered as a vast and complicated kingdom of Satan, breathing his spirit, doing his work, and involved in his doom, which Christ's death by its hands irrevocably sealed.
now shall the prince of this world be cast out--How differently is that fast-approaching "hour" regarded in the kingdoms of darkness and of light! "The hour of relief; from the dread Troubler of our peace--how near it is! Yet a little moment, and the day is ours!" So it was calculated and felt in the one region. "Now shall the prince of this world be cast out," is a somewhat different view of the same event. We know who was right. Though yet under a veil, He sees the triumphs of the Cross in unclouded and transporting light.
32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me--The "I" here is emphatic--I, taking the place of the world's ejected prince. "If lifted up," means not only after that I have been lifted up, but, through the virtue of that uplifting. And truly, the death of the Cross, in all its significance, revealed in the light, and borne in upon the heart, by the power of the Holy Ghost, possesses an attraction over the wide world--to civilized and savage, learned and illiterate, alike--which breaks down all opposition, assimilates all to itself, and forms out of the most heterogeneous and discordant materials a kingdom of surpassing glory, whose uniting principle is adoring subjection "to Him that loved them." "Will draw all men 'UNTO ME,'" says He. What lips could venture to utter such a word but His, which "dropt as an honeycomb," whose manner of speaking was evermore in the same spirit of conscious equality with the Father?
33. This he said, signifying what death he should die--that is, "by being lifted up from the earth" on "the accursed tree" ( John 3:14 , 8:28 ).
34. We have heard out of the law--the scriptures of the Old Testament (referring to such places as Psalms 89:28 Psalms 89:29 , 110:4 , Daniel 2:44 , Daniel 7:13 Daniel 7:14 ).
that Christ--the Christ "endureth for ever."
and how sayest thou, The Son of Man must be lifted up, &c.--How can that consist with this "uplifting?" They saw very well both that He was holding Himself up as the Christ and a Christ to die a violent death; and as that ran counter to all their ideas of the Messianic prophecies, they were glad to get this seeming advantage to justify their unyielding attitude.
35, 36. Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, &c.--Instead of answering their question, He warns them, with mingled majesty and tenderness, against trifling with their last brief opportunity, and entreats them to let in the Light while they have it in the midst of them, that they themselves might be "light in the Lord." In this case, all the clouds which hung around His Person and Mission would speedily be dispelled, while if they continued to hate the light, bootless were all His answers to their merely speculative or captious questions.
36. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them--He who spake as never man spake, and immediately after words fraught with unspeakable dignity and love, had to "hide Himself" from His auditors! What then must they have been? He retired, probably to Bethany. (The parallels are: Matthew 21:17 , Luke 21:37 ).
37-41. It is the manner of this Evangelist alone to record his own reflections on the scenes he describes; but here, having arrived at what was virtually the close of our Lord's public ministry, he casts an affecting glance over the fruitlessness of His whole ministry on the bulk of the now doomed people.
though he had done so many miracles--The word used suggests their nature as well as number.
38. That the saying of Esaias . . . might be fulfilled--This unbelief did not at all set aside the purposes of God, but, on the contrary, fulfilled them.
39-40. Therefore they could not believe, because Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, that they should not see, &c.--That this expresses a positive divine act, by which those who wilfully close their eyes and harden their hearts against the truth are judicially shut up in their unbelief and impenitence, is admitted by all candid critics [as OLSHAUSEN], though many of them think it necessary to contend that this is in no way inconsistent with the liberty of the human will, which of course it is not.
41. These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him--a key of immense importance to the opening of Isaiah's vision ( Isaiah 6:1-13 ), and all similar Old Testament representations. "THE SON is the King Jehovah who rules in the Old Testament and appears to the elect, as in the New Testament THE SPIRIT, the invisible Minister of the Son, is the Director of the Church and the Revealer in the sanctuary of the heart" [OLSHAUSEN].
42, 43. among the chief rulers also--rather, "even of the rulers"; such as Nicodemus and Joseph.
because of the Pharisees--that is, the leaders of the sects; for they were of it themselves.
put out of the synagogue--See John 9:22 John 9:34 .
43. they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God--"a severe remark, considering that several at least of these persons afterwards boldly confessed Christ. It indicates the displeasure with which God regarded their conduct at this time, and with which He continues to regard similar conduct" [WEBSTER and WILKINSON].
44-50. Jesus cried--in a loud tone, and with peculiar solemnity. (Compare John 7:37 ).
and said, He that believeth on me, &c.--This seems to be a supplementary record of some weighty proclamations, for which there had been found no natural place before, and introduced here as a sort of summary and winding up of His whole testimony.

Nutrition and Supplements for Pets with Cancer |
Nutrition for Dogs and Cats with CancerAnimals with cancer have altered carbohydrate metabolism and that reducing simple carbohydrates in the diet may reduce substrate for cancer cell energy production. Many cancer cells cannot use fat as an energy source, unlike host cells. Since cancer cachexia (loss of appetite/weight) is a result of both fat and lean body mass loss, fat should be a significant proportion of the dietary energy. There are commercial diets available as well as well-balanced home cooked diet recipes that fulfill these requirements.SupplementsAntioxidants:
Omega 3 fatty acids: Amino acids:
Chemotherapy alternatives:
Summary: It does indeed appear that alternative therapies have something extremely important to offer cancer management, both in the form of additional tools of intervention and, more important, in the form of a new perspective. Alternative and conventional therapeutics may be combined to synergistic advantage to yield greater results than when either therapy used alone. Such synergies might not only assist treatment of the tumor, but also help reduce side effects of conventional therapies.

Join entrepreneur Ellen Burton as she tackles every aspect of a personal branding makeover with The Image Studios. Today, she talks about the process of building her new wardrobe.
I've bought clothes for years based on their beauty and their quality and always with a good deal as my motivation. But unfortunately, I rarely bought clothes thinking about what would best communicate my "me" to the rest of the world. I was taught that as long as I owned a few classic pieces they would wear well and always be "in style."
What I learned from working with The Image Studios wardrobe stylist, Maegan Zarley, is that I should dress for my energy level and not necessarily my chronological age. Formerly, the clothing I chose was beautiful and well-made but didn't express who I am. It was shapeless which made me look bigger and most of my clothes were dated. My biggest fear was that with too much makeup, too much perfume and inappropriate clothing I'd look like I was desperately grabbing for my youth. So I chose the other extreme: Minimalist. Conservative. Boring.
My wardrobe experience kicked-off with Maegan visiting my closet. We went through every outfit I owned, including shoes and accessories. I tried on all of my clothing and she let me know which pieces complemented my brand and which did not. Of the pieces I kept, she made notes regarding alterations that would update the piece and/or best accentuate my style and physique.
There are many valuable things that I learned during this process, the most important: how little my weight has to do with being attractive and expressing my personal brand. I've learned to view my body the way Maegan does. She's focuses on ways to accentuate my finer points and down play anything that is distracting. It turns out (with the right bra) I have a cleavage! I don't plan to use it much, but it sure is nice to find it at 50.
Meagan selected my core wardrobe (about 18 garments, jewelry and shoes) from my existing clothing and items she purchased within my predetermined budget. Everything is beautiful! I now have a very feminine and commanding business look. I even have a sexy, but appropriate, look for play. My image truly reflects who I am and people notice. I find I use fewer words to introduce myself.
In short, it's working! For the first time in my life I feel beautiful in all of my clothes. I don't just have that special outfit for that special occasion, all of my outfits are remarkable and I dress as if every occasion was special. Everything I wear is a chance to express who I am. Getting dressed is, well, fun. I actually have some confidence about this now.
To make this even better, Maegan created a "look book" of 30 outfits for me. I know which pieces to wear with what and the best accessories to choose to top it all . I use the lookbook to get ready fast and easy each day. The gallery below includes some of my ensembles. Fun!
My question: "Why didn't I get to go shopping with Maegan and pick out some of the clothes?"
Shopping with a wardrobe consultant can, and most often is, frustrating, exhausting and discouraging. Choosing the perfect styles for your body type is difficult and because of this consultants do not shop in the leisurely way most consumers are acustomed to. Our mindset is not "Do I like this?" it is, "Does this outfit say healthy, spiritual, intelligent, wise and sensitive for Ellen?" If so, we check the cut, color, construction, fabric and price…If this works, then it's a go!
If and when you choose to shop on your own utilize your color and body analysis for guidance.
I highly recommend engaging in "Suggested Shopping.'" When you are looking for something in particular, email me and I can give you suggestions via internet links. This will allow you to shop with some very specific direction. Because we have every piece of your wardrobe on file, and in your Lookbook, I will continue recommending styles, cuts and colors that work well with your existing wardrobe. If you get tired or bored with your first 30 looks. Fear not! A Wardrobe Remix allows me to electronically restyle all of your clothing into brand new outfits. This is the beauty of investing in a high-quality, well-fitting wardrobe as you get miles…and miles out of your clothing.

20 Craziest Fights In NBA History
Gone are the days where two NBA teams who straight-up didn't like each other could get together and elevate their rivalry with a brawl. Good riddance. Those who enjoy watching titans inflict pain on each other can find plenty of other vices to quench their thirst for violence. In fact, there are entire weekends devoted to it, with the college and professional rankings of football dedicated to humans crashing into each other and hoping they hurt their opponent as much as they want to hurt them.

Meet The Ambitious Couple Remodeling A 94-Room, 18th-Century Château
The story of buying Château de Gudanes... in the owner's own words, "clearly this isn't about logic and reason."
By Sarah Bray
The story starts like this: Karina and Craig Waters were toying with the thought of buying a rural farmhouse in the the South of France. After years of casually searching, they came across an 18th-century abandoned château for sale online that was the deal of a lifetime. But, there was a catch! The 94-room behemoth Château de Gudanes was crumbling from old age, rubble was piled on top of rotted floors, and mold was engulfing the walls. Their fixer-upper is going to require a lot more than a few trips to the Home Depot. Perhaps, the most intriguing part about the couple's epic undertaking (that today is only in its infant stages) is that they are documenting the entire process on their blog and Instagram account. Feast your eyes and be sure to follow them—it's going to be a long road ahead!

I ordered this rug in purple. The color gradation from purple to a mauve color in the center is beautifully subtle and adds a nice quiet tone to my living room which is what I wanted. The rug seems to be a good quality for the price and sheds very little. No need for a rug pad. It is heavy enough to not slip around and laid flat from the moment I unrolled it. I received the rug just four days after I ordered it from Rugs USA.

If I had to find a retail match, I'm sure it would have taken years to find. I love that it is soft and thick and the color is spot- on! I also received it just a couple of days after I ordered. I consider this a great find!

Throughout the 2012-2013 school year, national and local teaching artists have presented arts integration-based workshops and teaching demonstrations to district staff and students.
On March 18, elementary and middle school faculty attended a "Moving through Math" workshop, led by Sherice Ortman, teaching artist and instructional coach for the Waterloo, Iowa Community School District.
The following day, Ortman led teaching demonstrations in the classrooms in order to reinforce the concepts.
This workshop was the last in a series that focused on the arts to enrich the instruction of other subject areas and increase student achievement.
Arts integration workshops are now being planned for the 2013-2014 school year.
"Teachers and students have been very receptive to the workshops," said Whitney Cummins, arts education coordinator at the BPAC. "Anytime you can merge the arts with regular subjects you are going to engage the students.
"When the lessons are fun for kids they become very engaged."
The partnership came to fruition early last year under the direction of BPAC Executive Director Laura Howell and WBSD Curriculum Director Dr. Sherry Shepard.
"Everyone has really enjoyed this type of learning — teachers and the students," said Shepard. "The kids are very participatory and we know when they are engaged the learning increases.
"We hope this really helps — using the arts to improve student achievement in reading, language and math."
The district monitors program effectiveness through teacher surveys and in-class observations to make sure implementation continues successfully.
There will also be several follow-up training sessions before next year's workshops to help keep teachers primed.
Cummins added that they hope to increase the number of workshops next year and to include more national and local teaching artists.
Previous workshops presented during the year included a program introduction by Althea Jerome and Kathryn Lewis, teaching artists from the Mississippi Arts Commission, along with special presentations by Jodie Engle and Kim Whitt, staff members at the MAC.
Later in the school year, Paige Whelan, a San Francisco-based teaching artist, presented "Acting Right: Drama as a Classroom Management Strategy" to district teachers.
The BPAC and West Bolivar School District were one of 12 teams nationwide selected in 2012 to become members of the prestigious Partners in Education program of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Selected because of their demonstrated commitment to the improvements of education in and through the arts, the partnership team participates in collaborative efforts to provide professional development opportunities in the arts for educators.
The program is based on the belief that teachers' professional learning is an essential component of any effort designed to increase the artistic literacy of young people.
The Kennedy Center's has been providing teacher training since its establishment in 1976.

I thought it would never happen. I thought I was resilient and could anticipate these things a mile away. Well my 'superman' cape got stuck in the door in January and I was laid off from my job.
Being laid off is a very weird situation. One minute you are on the inside of a company and the next minute you are not. Your manager won't talk with you except to toot the company line that "it's not personal, it's business". They look at you like they care but you know they can't. They might want to care for you and your family but the job of doing the company's business is to keep their distance.
I also found out later other people had known about the impending layoffs but didn't tell me. Now these people were not my personal friends but they were people who I had spent some time with while working there. They were in leadership positions so they knew their butts were on the line if they said anything.
That was weird too. One guy, who let's just call him Bruce, actually said goodbye to me on my final day. When I ran into him in the hall before I was escorted out, he had that look in his eyes that said he knew this was going to happen. He was one of those friends I mentioned. I later found out after asking Bruce to lunch that he did know I was going to be let go. He knew for over a month! I guess I am more mad that I didn't fully pick up on it. He is still a good guy and I don't fault him for it. I would have probably had to do the same if he was on the list.
I left the building at about 9:30 in the morning, the day I was let go. A week before I had been invited to a 9:00 meeting with others from my team. It was a very dispersant bunch (not connected except for on the same team). We worked on very different sides of the overall business. I knew something was up but didn't want to admit it to myself until I knew for sure. I even emailed our department leader (the meeting leader) and asked what the meeting was about. I got no response.
The reason I tell you this is because I had a feeling that day would be my last. Because of that I brought my running clothes with me. I like to run and especially when I have a lot of stress to get rid of. I left my company, IHS, it was snowing. It was about 30 degrees. I was free. I was a little nervous. I knew I just needed to run.
Before I left and during the short meeting when I was told I was fired, I had sent a text to my wife telling her I was canned. I had pre-warned her if this was going to happen I would let her know. She got the text, said everything was going to be alright. I called her after I left the building. It was a good conversation filled with happiness, sadness and the great unknown. We agreed to discuss all things about the situation over the next few days and she released me to go run.
I had one of the best runs in a long time. I was free. I was free from the stress I had felt working there. I was free from the 'what's going to happen to me' feeling I had over the past few months. I was free to make a change in my life and head in a new direction. I was FREE. Freedom is a very cool thing. The unknown can be daunting but the freedom makes the unknown pill seem a little easier to swallow.
So let's fast forward to today…I was just hired. Yay. I am so excited. The new company is not perfect but the opportunity is very exciting. It is not permanent position but a contract one that will last until August. I am most excited about it because it gives me the opportunity to explore another great company. Is it the perfect job? Nope. Will it help me in my career? Yep. I am excited.
So here is how I did it. Here is a quick overview of what I did and how I did it. There is no magic to my job search success…only hard work and sticking with my plan. Along the way I learned some new lessons which I plan to share with the world in a video course I am building on how to find a new job. I have been running the JeffonJobs blog for many years now with limited success. I am putting a stake in the ground today and letting the world (well my little world) know that I am here to help other job seekers find jobs quickly. The video course will come out in a few months and I am looking forward to sharing it with you.
After my run on February 14, I came home, talked with the family and got started on my job search. I made some adjustments to my resume and started creating my job search plan. My goal was to find another job in 30 days. I picked 30 days because that was all the severance I had gotten from IHS. They did provide me with some assistance from a placement company called Right Management too which was nice.
With my plan in hand and my newly crafted resume I was ready to apply for jobs. I started in the afternoon. I remembered thinking to myself that it was pretty cool…I got fired and now I am looking for work again. I felt like I jumped a few steps in my grieving process. I was proud of myself. Little did I know there would be some ups and downs along the way.
I bult a system of searching the job boards every morning, noon and night. My goal was to be the first person who saw a new posting to send my resume and credentials to it. I did this every day, even on the weekends. My favorite job boards were Indeed, LinkedIn, Craigslist and then periodically Dice and SimplyHired. Those were my goto job boards. I NEVER posted my resume to any of those sites. I did set up the automated job alerts but knew they would not help much since I was on them so much.
I felt like online portion of my job search plan was good enough to find and apply quickly to the new job postings. I love the Indeed job board the most as they have great features that allowed me to filter my job searches very easily by location, timeframe (i.e. most recent) and job title. The other job boards were good too but Indeed is my favorite. I even created an eBook on how to use Indeed. If you want a copy, let me know in the comments below.
Next I joined the outplacement group at Right Management and started attending various workshops and meetings to help keep me on my toes. I found the most benefit from the weekly networking meeting. It is not truly a networking meeting as everyone was unemployed. What I did realize is it doesn't matter if people you "network" with are employed or unemployed, they all know someone. They helped me and I helped them.
The networking group was one part networking and one part a discussion about job search topics. Everyone was given the opportunity to share any new things happening in their job search and then we would discuss the topic of the week. Even though I never really felt like going there each time, I was ALWAYS glad I went afterwards. I knew how to job search but I learned something new every time.
In addition to learning new things and sharing what was going on, I made connections with other people there. I helped them with things and they helped me with things. One of the guys and I got together outside of Right for coffee. Most of the visit I gave him some advice on how his resume presented his qualifications and what I would suggest changing. It was fun getting to know him.
After about two weeks I was starting to get my first interviews with recruiters. There was one here and one there. Then at about three weeks, I had to really juggle the recruiter interviews with the hiring manager interviews. It was actually tough to job search and prepare for interviews. Because I was getting interviews I felt like my online job search was going well. It was feeding my opportunities.
The friend I met for coffee sent me a job posting for a contract position his ex-wife had forwarded to him. After I read it I realized this position was a good one for me to consider. I forwarded a resume to the hiring manager and within a few days got a call to set up a face to face interview. That was the position I eventually got. While that one was in the works I was also completing the final round of interviews with a large electronics company and a very small consulting firm.
Everything came to a head late in the fifth week. I was offered the contract position. I used that offer to obtain an offer from the electronics company. I had two offers on the table and the negotiations began. At the end of the day, I picked the consulting position for a number of great reasons. I was thrilled and my family was thrilled.
Here are some stats:
Duration of job search: 6 weeks
Number of resumes sent out: 80
Number of interviews: 25
Number of companies: 11
Number of offers: 2
Landing a job in six weeks was excellent. It wasn't the 30 days I was hoping for but 45 days is pretty good too. I know a lot of people take many months and sometimes a year or two to find a job. I truly think if someone takes over nine or 10 months to find a job, there must be something wrong with their process or with their presentation. My hope is to someday really help those people who have been struggling for too long. If you are one of them, email me and let's see what we can do together.
I am so thankful to all my family and friends who helped support me through this transition. The position is a contract position and will end in August but that is ok. I was able to find a job once and BELIEVE I can do it again. If you are struggling with your job search or know someone who is, stay strong. Get some help. You can and WILL find what you are looking for.

On Monday afternoon, Burton confirmed with The Bolivar Commercial that he will not be returning next season to lead the Trojans, but instead will be taking an assistant coaching job at West Point High School.
"My decision to leave is something that came up this past week and I had to make a decision based on what was best for my family," said Burton.
According to East Side Athletic Director Leroy Cotton, Burton handed over his letter of resignation, but will continue to work through the end of the school year.
"We are very thankful to Coach Burton for his time and dedication to our football program and our student body. We wish he and his family the best as they move on to their next opportunity," said Cotton.
This past season was another strong one for the Trojans as they finished 14-1 and made it to the North Half championship game against Charleston where they lost 56-0.
Burton said he had met with the team, and informed them of his plans for the future.
"I think this team is ready and will pick up where they left off and go to work. Football here is a big deal and these kids will be ready to go for it all next season," said Burton.
Cotton also confirmed that assistant coach Kendrick Woodard will be taking over all football responsibilities as the team prepares for spring football toward the end of April.
"We have full confidence in Coach Woodard's ability along with the staff to rally the team and get the guys ready for spring practice and the spring jamboree," said Cotton.
Burton came to East Side after just one season as Hollandale-Simmons' head football coach. Burton's new job at West Point is a familiar one as he worked there for three years as an assistant.
"For me, the West Point thing is about familiarity and being comfortable for me and my family," said Burton.
For the black and gold nation of the Trojan faithful, they will have to watch a team that has gone 28-2 over the past two years look for a new head coach for the second time in two years.
"It's not often that a team that has won like we have is out looking for another coach after going 14-1 the past two seasons," Cotton said. "The biggest thing we are trying to do now is find continuity and stability at the position. To have the success we have experienced is a credit to the kids and the support staff of coaches. In spite of the coaching changes, the two things that have remained the same have been the kids and the assistant coaches."
