Those faithful to Christ celebrate the praises of God. (1-5) Three angels; one proclaiming the everlasting gospel; another, the downfal of Babylon; and a third, the dreadful wrath of God on the worshippers of the beast. The blessedness of those who die in the Lord. (6-13) A vision of Christ with a sickle, and of a harvest ripe for cutting down. (14-16) The emblem of a vintage fully ripe, trodden in the wine-press of God's wrath. (17-20)
Verses 1-5 Mount Sion is the gospel church. Christ is with his church, and in the midst of her in all her troubles, therefore she is not consumed. His presence secures perseverance. His people appear honourably. They have the name of God written in their foreheads; they make a bold and open profession of their faith in God and Christ, and this is followed by suitable actings. There were persons in the darkest times, who ventured and laid down their lives for the worship and truth of the gospel of Christ. They kept themselves clean from the wicked abominations of the followers of antichrist. Their hearts were right with God; and they were freely pardoned in Christ; he is glorified in them, and they in him. May it be our prayer, our endeavour, our ambition, to be found in this honourable company. Those who are really sanctified and justified are meant here, for no hypocrite, however plausible, can be accounted to be without fault before God.
Verses 6-13 The progress of the Reformation appears to be here set forth. The four proclamations are plain in their meaning; that all Christians may be encouraged, in the time of trial, to be faithful to their Lord. The gospel is the great means whereby men are brought to fear God, and to give glory to him. The preaching of the everlasting gospel shakes the foundations of antichrist in the world, and hastens its downfal. If any persist in being subject to the beast, and in promoting his cause, they must expect to be for ever miserable in soul and body. The believer is to venture or suffer any thing in obeying the commandments of God, and professing the faith of Jesus. May God bestow this patience upon us. Observe the description of those that are and shall be blessed: such as die in the Lord; die in the cause of Christ, in a state of union with Christ; such as are found in Christ when death comes. They rest from all sin, temptation, sorrow, and persecution; for there the wicked cease from troubling, there the weary are at rest. Their works follow them: do not go before as their title, or purchase, but follow them as proofs of their having lived and died in the Lord: the remembrance of them will be pleasant, and the reward far above all their services and sufferings. This is made sure by the testimony of the Spirit, witnessing with their spirits, and the written word.
Verses 14-20 Warnings and judgments not having produced reformation, the sins of the nations are filled up, and they become ripe for judgments, represented by a harvest, an emblem which is used to signify the gathering of the righteous, when ripe for heaven, by the mercy of God. The harvest time is when the corn is ripe; when the believers are ripe for heaven, then the wheat of the earth shall be gathered into Christ's garner. And by a vintage. The enemies of Christ and his church are not destroyed, till by their sin they are ripe for ruin, and then he will spare them no longer. The wine-press is the wrath of God, some terrible calamity, probably the sword, shedding the blood of the wicked. The patience of God towards sinners, is the greatest miracle in the world; but, though lasting, it will not be everlasting; and ripeness in sin is a sure proof of judgment at hand.
Revelation 14:1-20 . THE LAMB SEEN ON ZION WITH THE 144,000. THEIR SONG. THE GOSPEL PROCLAIMED BEFORE THE END BY ONE ANGEL: THE FALL OF BABYLON, BY ANOTHER: THE DOOM OF THE BEAST WORSHIPPERS, BY A THIRD. THE BLESSEDNESS OF THE DEAD IN THE LORD. THE HARVEST. THE VINTAGE.
In contrast to the beast, false prophet, and apostate Church ( Revelation 13:1-18 ) and introductory to the announcement of judgments about to descend on them and the world ( Revelation 14:8-11 , anticipatory of Revelation 18:2-6 ), stand here the redeemed, "the divine kernel of humanity, the positive fruits of the history of the world and the Church" [AUBERLEN]. The fourteenth through sixteenth chapters describe the preparations for the Messianic judgment. As the fourteenth chapter begins with the 144,000 of Israel (compare Revelation 7:4-8 , no longer exposed to trial as then, but now triumphant), so the fifteenth chapter begins with those who have overcome from among the Gentiles (compare Revelation 15:1-5 with Revelation 7:9-17 ); the two classes of elect forming together the whole company of transfigured saints who shall reign with Christ.
1. a--A, B, C, Coptic, and ORIGEN read, "the."
Lamb . . . on . . . Sion--having left His position "in the midst of the throne," and now taking His stand on Sion.
his Father's name--A, B, and C read, "His name and His Father's name."
in--Greek, "upon." God's and Christ's name here answers to the seal "upon their foreheads" in Revelation 7:3 . As the 144,000 of Israel are "the first-fruits" ( Revelation 14:4 ), so "the harvest" ( Revelation 14:15 ) is the general assembly of Gentile saints to be translated by Christ as His first act in assuming His kingdom, prior to His judgment ( Revelation 16:17-21 , the last seven vials) on the Antichristian world, in executing which His saints shall share. As Noah and Lot were taken seasonably out of the judgment, but exposed to the trial to the last moment [DE BURGH], so those who shall reign with Christ shall first suffer with Him, being delivered out of the judgments, but not out of the trials. The Jews are meant by "the saints of the Most High": against them Antichrist makes war, changing their times and laws; for true Israelites cannot join in the idolatry of the beast, any more than true Christians. The common affliction will draw closely together, in opposing the beast's worship, the Old Testament and New Testament people of God. Thus the way is paved for Israel's conversion. This last utter scattering of the holy people's power leads them, under the Spirit, to seek Messiah, and to cry at His approach, "Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord."
2. from--Greek, "out of."
voice of many waters--as is the voice of Himself, such also is the voice of His people.
I heard the voice of harpers--A, B, C, and ORIGEN read, "the voice which I heard (was) as of harpers."
3. sung--Greek, "sing."
as it were--So A, C, and Vulgate read. It is "as it were" a new song; for it is, in truth, as old as God's eternal purpose. But B, Syriac, Coptic, ORIGEN, and ANDREAS omit these words.
new song--( Revelation 5:9 Revelation 5:10 ). The song is that of victory after conflict with the dragon, beast, and false prophet: never sung before, for such a conflict had never been fought before; therefore new: till now the kingdom of Christ on earth had been usurped; they sing the new song in anticipation of His blood-bought kingdom with His saints.
four beasts--rather, as Greek, "four living creatures." The harpers and singers evidently include the 144,000: so the parallel proves ( Revelation 15:2 Revelation 15:3 ), where the same act is attributed to the general company of the saints, the harvest ( Revelation 14:15 ) from all nations. Not as ALFORD, "the harpers and song are in heaven, but the 144,000 are on earth."
redeemed--literally, "purchased." Not even the angels can learn that song, for they know not experimentally what it is to have "come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes white in the blood of the Lamb" ( Revelation 7:14 ).
4. virgins--spiritually ( Matthew 25:1 ); in contrast to the apostate Church, Babylon ( Revelation 14:8 ), spiritually "a harlot" ( Revelation 17:1-5 , Isaiah 1:21 ; contrast 2 Corinthians 11:2 ; Ephesians 5:25-27 ). Their not being defiled with women means they were not led astray from Christian faithfulness by the tempters who jointly constitute the spiritual "harlot."
follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth--in glory, being especially near His person; the fitting reward of their following Him so fully on earth.
being the--rather, "as a first-fruit." Not merely a "first-fruit" in the sense in which all believers are so, but Israel's 144,000 elect are the first-fruit, the Jewish and Gentile elect Church is the harvest; in a further sense, the whole of the transfigured and translated Church which reigns with Christ at His coming, is the first-fruit, and the consequent general ingathering of Israel and the nations, ending in the last judgment, is the full and final harvest.
5. guile--So ANDREAS in one copy. But A, B, C, ORIGEN, and ANDREAS in other copies read, "falsehood." Compare with English Version reading Psalms 32:2 , Isaiah 53:9 , John 1:47 .
for--So B, Syriac, Coptic, ORIGEN, and ANDREAS read. But A and C omit.
without fault--Greek, "blameless": in respect to the sincerity of their fidelity to Him. Not absolutely, and in themselves blameless; but regarded as such on the ground of His righteousness in whom alone they trusted, and whom they faithfully served by His Spirit in them. The allusion seems to be to Psalms 15:1 Psalms 15:2 . Compare Revelation 14:1 , "stood on Mount Sion."
before the throne of God--A, B, C, Syriac, Coptic, ORIGEN, and ANDREAS omit these words. The oldest Vulgate manuscript supports them.
6. Here begins the portion relating to the Gentile world, as the former portion related to Israel. Before the end the Gospel is to be preached for a WITNESS unto all nations: not that all nations shall be converted, but all nations shall have had the opportunity given them of deciding whether they will be for, or against, Christ. Those thus preached to are "they that dwell (so A, Coptic, and Syriac read. But B, C, ORIGEN, Vulgate, CYPRIAN, 312, read, 'SIT,' compare Matthew 4:16 , Luke 1:79 , having their settled home) on the earth," being of earth earthy: this last season of grace is given them, if yet they may repent, before "judgment" ( Revelation 14:7 ) descends:if not, they will be left without excuse, as the world which resisted the preaching of Noah in the the hundred twenty years "while the long-suffering of God waited." "So also the prophets gave the people a last opportunity of repentance before the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem, and our Lord and His apostles before the Roman destruction of the holy city" [AUBERLEN]. The Greek for "unto" (epi, in A and C) means literally, "upon," or "over," or "in respect to" ( 9:12 , Hebrews 7:13 ). So also "TO every nation" (Greek, "epi," in A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, ORIGEN, ANDREAS, CYPRIAN, and PRIMASIUS). This, perhaps, implies that the Gospel, though diffused over the globe, shall not come savingly unto any save the elect. The world is not to be evangelized till Christ shall come: meanwhile, God's purpose is "to take out of the Gentiles a people for His name," to be witnesses of the effectual working of His Spirit during the counter-working of "the mystery of iniquity."
everlasting gospel--the Gospel which announces the glad tidings of the everlasting kingdom of Christ, about to ensue immediately after the "judgment" on Antichrist, announced as imminent in Revelation 14:7 . As the former angel "flying through the midst of heaven" ( Revelation 8:13 ) announced "woe," so this angel "flying in the midst of heaven" announced joy. The three angels making this last proclamation of the Gospel, the fall of Babylon ( Revelation 14:8 ), the harlot, and the judgment on the beast worshippers ( Revelation 14:9-11 ), the voice from heaven respecting the blessed dead ( Revelation 14:13 ), the vision of the Son of man on the cloud ( Revelation 14:11 ), the harvest ( Revelation 14:15 ), and the vintage ( Revelation 14:18 ), form the compendious summary, amplified in detail in the rest of the book.
7. Fear God--the forerunner to embracing the love of God manifested in the Gospel. Repentance accompanies faith.
give glory to him--and not to the beast (compare Revelation 13:4 , Jeremiah 13:16 ).
the hour of his judgment--"The hour" implies the definite time. "Judgment," not the general judgment, but that up on Babylon, the beast, and his worshippers ( Revelation 14:8-12 ).
worship him that made heaven--not Antichrist (compare Acts 14:15 ).
sea . . . fountains--distinguished also in Revelation 8:8 Revelation 8:10 .
8. another--So Vulgate. But A, B, Syriac, and ANDREAS add, "a second"; "another, a second angel."
Babylon--here first mentioned; identical with the harlot, the apostate Church; distinct from the beast, and judged separately.
is fallen--anticipation of Revelation 18:2 . A, Vulgate, Syriac, and ANDREAS support the second "is fallen." But B, C, and Coptic omit it.
that great city--A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic omit "city." Then translate, "Babylon the great." The ulterior and exhaustive fulfilment of Isaiah 21:9 .
because--So ANDREAS. But A, C, Vulgate, and Syriac read, "which." B and Coptic omit it. Even reading "which," we must understand it as giving the reason of her fall.
all nations--A, B and C read, "all the nations."
the wine of the wrath of her fornication--the wine of the wrath of God, the consequence of her fornication. As she made the nations drunk with the wine of her fornication, so she herself shall be made drunk with the wine of God's wrath.
9. A, B, C, and ANDREAS read, "another, a third angel." Compare with this verse Revelation 13:15 Revelation 13:16 .
10. The same--Greek, "he also," as the just and inevitable retribution.
wine of . . . wrath of God--( Psalms 75:8 ).
without mixture--whereas wine was so commonly mixed with water that to mix wine is used in Greek for to pour out wine; this wine of God's wrath is undiluted; there is no drop of water to cool its heat. Naught of grace or hope is blended with it. This terrible threat may well raise us above the fear of man's threats. This unmixed cup is already mingled and prepared for Satan and the beast's followers.
indignation--Greek, "orges," "abiding wrath," But the Greek for "wrath" above (Greek, "thumou") is boiling indignation, from (Greek, "thuo") a root meaning "to boil"; this is temporary ebullition of anger; that is lasting [AMMONIUS], and accompanied with a purpose of vengeance [ORIGEN on Psalm 2:5].
tormented . . . in the presence of . . . angels--( Psalms 49:14 , 58:10 , 139:21 , Isaiah 66:24 ). God's enemies are regarded by the saints as their enemies, and when the day of probation is past, their mind shall be so entirely one with God's, that they shall rejoice in witnessing visibly the judicial vindication of God's righteousness in sinners' punishment.
11. for ever and ever--Greek, "unto ages of ages."
no rest day nor night--Contrast the very different sense in which the same is said of the four living creatures in heaven, "They rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy"; yet they do "rest" in another sense; they rest from sin and sorrow, weariness and weakness, trial and temptation ( Revelation 14:13 ); the lost have no rest from sin and Satan, terror, torment, and remorse.
12. Here, &c.--resumed from Revelation 13:10 ; all who will not worship the beast, the faith and patience of the followers of God and Jesus shall be put to the test, and proved.
patience--Greek, "hupomene," "patient, persevering endurance." The second "here" is omitted in A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, and PRIMASIUS. Translate, "Here is the endurance of the saints, who keep," &c.
the faith of Jesus--the faith which has Jesus for its object.
13. Encouragement to cheer those persecuted under the beast.
Write--to put it on record for ever.
Blessed--in resting from their toils, and, in the case of the saints just before alluded to as persecuted by the beast, in resting from persecutions. Their full blessedness is now "from henceforth," that is, FROM THIS TIME, when the judgment on the beast and the harvest gatherings of the elect are imminent. The time so earnestly longed for by former martyrs is now all but come; the full number of their fellow servants is on the verge of completion; they have no longer to "rest (the same Greek as here, anapausis) yet for a little season," their eternal rest, or cessation from toils ( 2 Thessalonians 1:7 ; Greek, "anesis," relaxation after hardships. Hebrews 4:9 Hebrews 4:10 , sabbatism of rest; and Greek, "catapausis," akin to the Greek here) is close at hand now. They are blessed in being about to sit down to the marriage supper of the Lamb ( Revelation 19:9 ), and in having part in the first resurrection ( Revelation 20:6 ), and in having right to the tree of life ( Revelation 22:14 ). In Revelation 14:14-16 follows the explanation of why they are pronounced "blessed" now in particular, namely, the Son of man on the cloud is just coming to gather them in as the harvest ripe for garner.
Yea, saith the Spirit--The words of God the Father (the "voice from heaven") are echoed back and confirmed by the Spirit (speaking in the Word, Revelation 2:7 , 22:17 ; and in the saints, 2 Corinthians 5:5 , 1 Peter 4:14 ). All "God's promises in Christ are yea" ( 2 Corinthians 1:20 ).
unto me--omitted in A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic.
that they may--The Greek includes also the idea, They are blessed, in that they SHALL rest from their toils (so the Greek).
and--So B and ANDREAS read. But A, C, Vulgate, and Syriac read "for." They rest from their toils because their time for toil is past; they enter on the blessed rest because of their faith evinced by their works which, therefore, "follow WITH (so the Greek) them." Their works are specified because respect is had to the coming judgment, wherein every man shall be "judged according to his works." His works do not go before the believer, nor even go by his side, but follow him at the same time that they go with him as a proof that he is Christ's.
14. crown--Greek, "stephanon," "garland" of victory; not His diadem as a king. The victory is described in detail, Revelation 19:11-21 .
one sat--"one sitting," Greek, "cathemenon homoion," is the reading of A, B, C, Vulgate, and Coptic.
15. Thrust in--Greek, "Send." The angel does not command the "Son of man" ( Revelation 14:14 ), but is the mere messenger announcing to the Son the will of God the Father, in whose hands are kept the times and the seasons.
thy sickle--alluding to Mark 4:29 , where also it is "sendeth the sickle." The Son sends His sickle-bearing angel to reap the righteous when fully ripe.
harvest--the harvest crop. By the harvest-reaping the elect righteous are gathered out; by the vintage the Antichristian offenders are removed out of the earth, the scene of Christ's coming kingdom. The Son of man Himself, with a golden crown, is introduced in the harvest-gathering of the elect, a mere angel in the vintage ( Revelation 14:18-20 ).
is ripe--literally, "is dried." Ripe for glory.
16. thrust in--Greek, "cast."
17. out of the temple . . . in heaven--( Revelation 11:19 ).
18. from the altar--upon which were offered the incense-accompanied prayers of all saints, which bring down in answer God's fiery judgment on the Church's foes, the fire being taken from the altar and cast upon the earth.
fully ripe--Greek, "come to their acme"; ripe for punishment.
19. "The vine" is what is the subject of judgment because its grapes are not what God looked for considering its careful culture, but "wild grapes" ( Isaiah 5:1-30 ). The apostate world of Christendom, not the world of heathendom who have not heard of Christ, is the object of judgment. Compare the emblem, Revelation 19:15 , Isaiah 63:2 Isaiah 63:3 , Joel 3:13 .
20. without the city--Jerusalem. The scene of the blood-shedding of Christ and His people shall be also the scene of God's vengeance on the Antichristian foe. Compare the "horsemen," Revelation 9:16 Revelation 9:17 .
blood--answering to the red wine. The slaughter of the apostates is what is here spoken of, not their eternal punishment.
even unto the horse bridles--of the avenging "armies of heaven."
by the space of a thousand . . . six hundred furlongs--literally, "a thousand six hundred furlongs off" [W. KELLY]. Sixteen hundred is a square number; four by four by one hundred. The four quarters, north, south, east, and west, of the Holy Land, or else of the world (the completeness and universality of the world-wide destruction being hereby indicated). It does not exactly answer to the length of Palestine as given by JEROME, one hundred sixty Roman miles. BENGEL thinks the valley of Kedron, between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives, is meant, the torrent in that valley being about to be discolored with blood to the extent of sixteen hundred furlongs. This view accords with Joel's prophecy that the valley of Jehoshaphat is to be the scene of the overthrow of the Antichristian foes.

Updated: December 24, 2012 7:16AM
Call it the Battle for the Southland. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s resignation Wednesday created a wide-open race to succeed him in the 2nd Congressional District, with no obvious favorite. For historical guidance, look to the 2009 special election to fill Rahm Emanuel's seat in Congress when Mike Quigley defeated 11 other Democratic candidates with only about 12,000 votes — or just 22 percent. In other words, it should be a free-for-all, with an advantage to the candidate who starts with high name recognition — or the money to make up for it. The potential candidates: Ald. Anthony Beale (9th):
Ald. Will Burns (4th): "I'm interested," said the first-term alderman, a former state representative who is regarded as an up-and-comer. Burns, still making up his mind, was Barack Obama's pick to replace him in the state Senate but fell short. A member of Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle's 4th Ward political organization, Burns is an accomplished fund-raiser, having raised more than $1.2 million during the past 4½ years. He doesn't live in the district.
Sen.-elect Napoleon Harris: The former NFL and Northwestern linebacker with two Beggar's Pizza franchises hasn't even taken office yet but has the ambition and money to keep climbing. "He's evaluating it," said campaign aide Curtis Thompson. "He's taking the holidays to do it." Thompson said Harris would have the "resources and organization" to make the race.
Sen. Toi Hutchinson: Many believe this personable Olympia Fields legislator would be a formidable candidate, and sources say she's leaning more toward making the race than when we spoke two weeks ago. She already represents part of the south end of the 2nd District. She issued a statement saying she'll be exploring a campaign and will "have more to say in the coming days."
Sen. Donne Trotter: "I'm in," said this 24-year veteran of the Legislature from the South Side who said his senate district encompasses half of the 2nd District. It would be Trotter's second run for Congress, having been defeated by Bobby Rush in the 1st District in 2002, after which he was remapped into the 2nd. Trotter thinks his experience should make him a favorite. "I've got a lot of tools in my belt," he said.
Former state Rep. Robin Kelly: "I have been assembling a team and have been preparing to run," Kelly told me by email. Now a top aide to Preckwinkle, Kelly was chief of staff to state treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, then ran unsuccessfully to replace him when he tried for the Senate. She is a former state legislator from Matteson.
Former state Rep. David Miller: "I've been looking at it for a while," said this ex-legislator from Lynwood currently working as the chief of oral health for the Illinois Department of Public Health. Talking like a candidate, Miller said his phone was "blowing up'' Wednesday with supporters urging him to run. Miller, a practicing dentist, was the Democratic nominee for state comptroller in 2010 but lost to Judy Baar-Topinka.
Jonathan Jackson: You might think that the Jackson name would be a liability right now, but the congressman's brother might have a chance in a crowded field if he could line up some campaign donors. He's made no overt moves of which I am aware, but everybody will be talking about him until he takes himself out of the discussion.
Former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson: Although soundly thrashed by Jackson in this year's Democratic primary, she's weighing another run. "I'm waiting to see the field," Halvorson said Wednesday.
Sam Adam Jr.: Talk about your wild cards, this high-profile defense lawyer who was one of the first to publicly declare his interest would make a great candidate and probably could win. But I'm still not sure anybody's explained to him that you can't practice law and serve in Congress at the same time. Is he really ready for the pay cut?
Mel Reynolds: Sources told Sneed the convicted former congressman wants to run for his old seat. If that's true, he's delusional. Talented but delusional.
Todd Stroger: The former County Board President told our Lisa Donovan that he wants to run, too. Also delusional. Not as talented as Reynolds.

Colder temperatures, changing leaf colors, and less daylight are the signs of fall. Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year in the U.P.
"Donna and I had a very short window to find a home in the UP due to the fact that we sold our home down state the 1st day it was listed. Rob worked tirelessly to help us find the right type of property we were looking for. Just as important he steered us away from places he thought would not be suitable for us. Rob's knowledge of the Upper Peninsula from weather to wildlife, utilities or lack thereof came in very handy in helping us make our decision. He made the process enjoyable in trying times, he was was very patient with us as we were not familiar with the areas even when we asked dumb questions which I'm sure there were plenty of. We spent a lot of time driving around the UP looking at all types of properties and Rob's knowledge of the Western UP was more than obvious. We would highly recommend anyone especially those like us who were not familiar with the area to contact Rob Sullivan with Northern Michigan Land Broker in Marquette."
We are very pleased to present our new website. Almost a year in the making we've put a lot of effort into providing the best user experience possible while searching for Upper Peninsula Real Estate.

Does your property have insurable access? Does the property your looking to purchase? If you don't know, you should. The answer will greatly affect the value of the property.
For years now Northern Michigan Land Brokers has been the top company in the U.P. in land sales. Since the addition of our Houghton office, this gap has only widened further. In 2013, NMLB more than doubled the sales volume of our closest competitor.

Part one was a bit more by the book and with part two we had a bit more fun. If you aren't already doing so check out Right Field Bleachers, it's a lot like this site only with more writers, more photshopping and less pretend conversations. Good stuff.
MPD: Congratulations on making me gag myself. Once with the clam chowder analogy and a second time at the thought of Vicente Padilla in a Brewers uniform (hang on.... yep, this one just made me gag a third time). I think we're all at the point now where we are getting antsy for the Brewers to do something. Earlier in the season Melvin was quote as saying he wasn't sure if he needed a bat or a pitcher and I think it has become painfully clear to anyone with even the slightest of baseball knowledge (Tom Haudricourt comes to mind) what the team needs. We're well past the point of wondering if this team will make a move and now we are forced to sit and wait for it to happen. We've actually been (seemingly) waiting so long that it's gotten to the point where people are wondering if they might actually need two starting pitchers. I'm all about waiting for the right deal/player/trade, but come on already. People are dying out there!
You mentioned that you wouldn't mind seeing Corey Hart leaving in a trade and my kneejerk reaction is to say "well, who would replace him?" (Catalanatto is probably a better hitter, but a HUGE defensive dropoff. Gerut is the opposite.) At the same time the two easiest positions to fill on the field are first base and corner outfield. There are lots of bats out there that could step in and do close to what he's doing so I could almost see it. Almost. I'm just not convinced the team is ready to give up on him yet (which is weird considering all the grief he gave them in arbitration.) Does his popularity have anything to do with it? I don't know, but the more I think about Corey Hart, the more he reminds me of Jeff Francouer of the Braves. No great batting eye to speak of. Power to spare. Perpetually underachieving. Short flashes of brilliance. Ends up league average or worse. Hart is older, but he's like Francouer in that he was a lot better two years ago. Hart's improved his walk rate quite a bit this year (which could easily come back to Earth), but so did his strikeout rate went up too and it's come at the cost of some power (which could easily not come back to Earth). I am not sure if he's ever going to be much better than he was in 2007 and considering his first half of 2008 was likely a serious outlier, maybe dangling him out there is the right move. If the team can get some value for him now, why not? Sure, a few thousand female fans would be upset but they had to have figured out he wasn't really attractive at some point right? I don't know if Corey Hart gets you Ian Snell of the Pirates or Erik Bedard of the Mariners. I really just don't know, but I'd like to see Doug try and figure that out. I suspect even the Moustache hates hearing that at-bat music three times a game.
Forget Hart for a second though, let's talk about another can't miss Brewer: Mat Gamel. He only spells his name with one T so you know he's bad ass. I understand (and love) that Casey McGehee has been playing out of his mind for the past month, but can this dude get more than one start in a week? He's shown flashes and in my arm-chair-scout-who-has-no-idea-what-he's-talking-about opinion his at-bats have improved since he first came up quite a bit. He deserves an honest shot out there before they switch McGehee into virtually full time 3B mode. Give him two weeks of starts, then we'll talk. It's all I ask really because I think Gamel could be one of the next great Brewers and he should be out there playing. Or if the team sends him down, it should be to practice right field in preparation for him finishing the season there. Where do you stand on the send him down/keep him up argument and where do you see him going in the future as a Brewer? Read the rest of this entry »

Variability of Arterial Supply to the Inferior Myocardial Wall
Jason Gluck, M.D., Dipan Desai, M.D., Ola Akinboboye, M.D.,
Introduction: Based on the "Standardized Myocardial Segmentation and Nomenclature for Tomographic Imaging of the Heart"(Circulation 2002:105:539-542), the apical inferior, mid inferior and basal inferior walls, segments 4, 10 and 15 respectively, are supplied by the right coronary artery (RCA). .. Consequently, perfusion defects in these segments are attributed to RCA disease. However defects are often seen in these segments in patients without RCA disease. We hypothesize that the vascular supply of the inferior myocardial segments is variable. The objective of this study was to define anatomically, the coronary supply of the inferior segments of the myocardium using coronary CT angiography (CCTA).
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 135 CCTA performed at our center.
All studies were performed on a Siemens Dual-source 64-slice scanner using standard techniques. Image analysis was performed using Terarecon software. Maximum-intensity projection (MIP) images were analyzed in the frontal plane at the level of the posterior interventricular groove. The inferior wall was measured from the crux to the apex and divided into apical (apical to the papillary muscles), mid (location of papillary muscles), and basal (base to tip of mitral leaflets) thirds. The arteries that supply these segments were identified by using a combination of MIP and multi-planar reformatted images. Image analysis was based on the consensus of 3 observers.
Results: 135 CCTA scans were reviewed. The population had an average age 56±14 years old, and 62 (46%) were female. The most common indication for the study was chest pain.
RCA / LAD / LCX / Dual
Apical Inferior / 12(9%) / 112(83%) / 2(1.5%) / 9(6.5%)
Mid inferior / 95(70.3%) / 10(7.5%) / 13(9.6%) / 17(12.6%)
Basal Inferior / 124(92%)/ 0(0%) / 8(6%) / 3(2)%
Conclusions: Vascular supply of the inferior myocardial segments is variable. The vessel that anatomically supplies the apical, mid and basal inferior segments is not the RCA in 91%, 30.7% and 8% of individuals respectively. Thus, ascribing defects in these territories to the RCA may be fraught with errors.

Targeting not only the supplier and distributor of tainted cantaloupes but also setting sights on Wal-Mart and auditor PrimusLabs, a prominent food safety lawyer has filed multiple lawsuits stemming from a listeria outbreak.
Seattle-based food safety lawyer Bill Marler has filed eight lawsuits related to the listeria outbreak, and is working on behalf of at least three dozen people sickened or killed in the outbreak health officials traced to Jensen Farms, Holly, Colo. Ten of those cases involve the estates of people whose deaths are linked to the outbreak
More lawsuits are expected, he said Nov. 8, including one naming Santa Barbara, Calif.-based PrimusLabs, which inspected the cantaloupe farm and facility.
In an e-mail, Robert Stovicek, president of Santa Maria, Calif.-based PrimusLabs, said he had no comment on the potential lawsuit.
Marler on Nov. 8 said seeking liability from a third-party auditor will be a hard-fought battle.
"I think they are not going to want to agree to that, because it would open themselves up for some pretty significant changes in the way they do business — for all auditors," he said.
The lawsuit filed in Colorado for plaintiffs Charles and Tammy Palmer in September names Wal-Mart Inc. and Jensen Farms as defendants. Other lawsuits name Jensen Farms and Frontera, which marketed the cantaloupes.
Bankruptcy fallout?
Marler said the Palmer lawsuit is the only one listing a retailer, but more retailers could be involved later, chiefly because he expects Jensen Farms and Frontera to be forced into bankruptcy.
"Eventually, not just for the ill people, but also cases against them from outside entities, I don't see any choices for Jensen Farms and Frontera but Chapter 7 (liquidation)," Marler said.
Jim Mulhern, spokesman for Edinburg, Texas-based Frontera Produce Ltd., said the company could not comment on pending litigation, but that any lawsuit presents a financial burden in that resources are diverted away from jobs and growth.
He also said Frontera looks forward to serving its customers for many years to come.
Eric Jensen, owner of Jensen Farms, did not return calls for comment.
Wal-Mart's reaction
"We wish Mr. Palmer well, and we take claims such as his very seriously," said Dianna Gee, senior manager for media relations for Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart.
She said she had no other comment on the lawsuit.

Cherry Wood Candle Gift Set:
Material: Glass, wax
Care: Wipe vessel with a damp cloth
Brand: modern alchemy
Origin: Imported
Modern Alchemy founder Douglas Little uses his own version of sensory manipulation to concoct candles that transport users to the mysterious opium dens of 19th-century London and to the fragrant Corcovado mountain of modern-day Rio de Janeiro. Cordova leather, musk, pine needles, and black tea are among his palette of scents that he employs to recall real (and imagined) moments and places. All of Modern Alchemy's long-burners, votives, and diffusers come beautifully packaged—some with satin ribbon and others in black boxes with gold script (reminiscent of Little's signature line, D.L. & Co). The company's stationery and other home items also have an air of the dark and lush, with a hint of Edwardian undertaker that's so fashionable today.

Migration & Development
Migration & Development
Recent Activity
Temporary workers, generally seen as a solution to the changing and growing economic needs of developed countries, rarely focus on the needs of migrant-sending countries. MPI's Dovelyn Agunias reviews relevant research and the policy options proposed for closing this gap.
In 2004, Central American countries received US$ 7.8 billion in remittances through official channels. Are remittances hurting or helping the region? MPI's Dovelyn Agunias investigates.
Salvadorans abroad have helped their families economically and, to some extent, decreased poverty levels back home. Yet migration has economic and social costs in El Salvador - and has not yet proved to be the answer to its development problems, according to Katharine Andrade-Eekhoff.
Perhaps best known for its brain drain and the related success of its diaspora, Ghana also has an important role in West African migration patterns, past and present. Micah Bump of Georgetown's Institute for the Study of International Migration takes a detailed look at a country in transition.
For years, Germany has been concerned about losing its top minds to the United States. While highly skilled individuals are leaving for the U.S., most of the increase is accounted for by temporary migrants, as Claudia Diehl of the German Federal Institute for Population Research and MPI's David Dixon reveal.
Recent Activity
Migration and development have emerged as a pressing policy priority on the global agenda. This report identifies critical lessons from the past decade of policy experimentation and offers recommendations for migration and development policy.
This final report summarizes and reflects upon the key findings of the Improving EU and U.S. Immigration Systems: Learning from Experience comparative research project undertaken by MPI and the European University Institute through a grant from the European Commission.
The impact of climate change as a driver of human migration is expected by many to dwarf all others. Still, certain frequently repeated forecasts of the number of people who stand to be displaced by climate change are not informed by a complete understanding of migration dynamics, as this report explains.
الأردنية ودعم اقتصاده. وابتدأت العَمالة غير العربية الآتية من آسيا بالزيادة في السنوات الأخيرة في الأردن، وبالأخص من سريلانكا والفِليبّين.
Migrants from the Philippines and Sri Lanka have taken on a growing role in filling labor shortages in Jordan, leading to significant challenges surrounding the recruitment of these foreign workers. Based on interviews with government officials in sending and receiving countries and focus groups with migrants, the report analyzes the role of private recruitment agencies and points to oversight gaps.
Civil society provides a crucial link between governments and the communities they represent—infusing policy processes with grassroots knowledge to which governments may not otherwise have access. Looking at the European Union's efforts to engage with civil society in its "neighborhood," this report examines the benefits, challenges, and mechanisms to building dialogue and cooperation on migration and development.
The report examines U.S. immigration and international development policies, which have unique objectives and respond to distinct political and administrative constraints, and points out that international development has never been a U.S. immigration policy objective; nonetheless, it is an unintended consequence.
Migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries rarely collaborate on migration issues because the structure of global migration systems ensures they often disagree about core policy issues. This report shows that migration collaboration makes sense when states share common goals they cannot achieve on their own.

edouard trench coat
by STEVEN ALAN
Having spent the past 20 years creating a mini fashion world grounded in classic American roots - fashioned with a twist - Steven Alan has quietly emerged an uncommon fashion pioneer. Upon opening his first retail store in 1994, Steven sold pieces from an eclectic group of emerging designers, becoming known for his keen eye. In 1999, Steven launched his first men's collection, including his now signature Reverse Seam Shirt, followed by a women's collection soon after. The collections build upon the same curatorial point of view using authentic fabrics and precise tailoring along with thoughtful details- resulting in easily wearable, refined casual looks.

By all accounts, Kashi U cereal sounds great - it supposedly promotes cardio nourishment with omega 3's and B vitamins; boosts immunity with vitamins A, C, and E; strengthens your body with calcium and vitamin D; makes you "thrive inside" with fiber and prebiotics; and provides mental sustenance with whole grains.
In terms of taste, however, I didn't think this cereal was spectacular. I liked the grainy flakes, lightly sweetened oat clusters, and satisfying walnuts, but I found the tangy black currants to be too tangy and overpowering (then again, I'm not the biggest fan of fruit in cereal). I could have done without the change in milk color, too - this stuff turned my milk blue! I ended up picking out the currants, and found that I enjoyed the cereal much more after doing that. It definitely stayed crunchy in milk, and Kashi struck a good balance between sweet and hearty.
With all those nutritional claims on the box of Kashi U cereal, it's no wonder that the ingredient list is so long. Those wholesome ingredients make for some good nutritional stats though. A 1 cup serving has 200 calories, 3.5 grams of fat (no saturated or trans fats, and 2 grams of polyunsaturated fat and 0.5 grams of monounsaturated fat), 125 mg of sodium (5% of the RDA), 7 grams of fiber, 10 grams of sugar, 5 grams of protein, and RDA values of 50% for vitamins A, C and E, 20% for calcium, 6% for iron, 25% for vitamin D, 100% for vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid, and 50% for zinc. This cereal may be on the high side calorie-wise, but with the other benefits - high fiber, a good amount of protein and lots of vitamins and minerals.
One major plus to this cereal is that the box is "printed with compostable, soy-based inks, is 100% recycled and contains 80% post-consumer recycled content, and is printed by a company that offsets its electricity use with clean wind power." How's that for clean living?! However, it did cost $4.99 a box, which is reaching my upper limit for cereal (again, I live in New York City, where everything is marked up). My bottom line: this is pretty good (better without the currants), but it can't take the place of other cereals like Kashi GoLean and GoLean Crunch! in my heart.

Long scarf
Measurements: Length 76", width 41"
Material: 100% cotton gauze
Brand: Carolina Amato
Origin: Imported
Originally trained as a painter, Carolina Amato eventually chose fabrics and threads over brushes and oils – launching her eponymous accessories label in 1979. The switch wasn't all that surprising: Amato's grandmothers worked in New York City's Garment District, and her grandfather made his living as a furniture upholsterer. Amato's elegant hats, jewelry, scarves and wraps have landed her in the pages of top fashion magazines and in specialty stores all over the world. Message your friends in style in a pair of Amato's "Holed It" texting gloves (available in cashmere and angora, and in men's sizes), or dress up that little black dress with one of her Austrian crystal necklaces or freshwater pearl double-headbands. Lightweight cotton scarves for summer, satin bridal and evening gloves, and winter-ready infinity wraps are just some of the many other essentials you'll find in Amato's collection.

Norichika Aoki needs some help to win Rookie of the Year
milwaukee brewers September 20th, 2012
I am going to say something right now that a lot of Brewers fans might not be prepared to hear: Norichika Aoki is not going to win the Rookie of the Year award this season. He won't even be close.
Bryce Harper is a lock for the NL Rookie of the Year award. Bryce Harper is hitting .262/.333/.459 and playing center field (well) on a playoff team as a NINETEEN YEAR OLD. That's kind of amazing. When I was 19 I listened to Kid Rock and worked in a warehouse. I spent all my money on DVDs and alcohol. I was a complete loser with no direction and no hope for the future. It was kind of like now, but I didn't have a cool blog and my girlfriend was less attractive and kind of a weirdo. (Take that, life.) There was no way I could have ever been a starting center fielder in the major leagues. Even if I had the talent that I genetically lack, I still wouldn't have been responsible enough to handle what Bryce Harper is doing right now. What I am trying to say is I hate Bryce Harper. He's better at life than me so screw him.
On the other hand Norichika Aoki is 30. He's hitting a slick .293/.362./.438 that actually makes him a better hitter than Bryce, but he plays right field and his defense is worse. There are a lot of arguments to made that Norichika Aoki is a better player than Bryce Harper this season and that is a very good argument to make. Besides the homerun category Aoki is better or close in nearly every statistical category. Read the rest of this entry »

Description: Designed with an eclectic approach to decorating in mind, Couristan is proud to introduce its latest hand-crafted collection, Oasis. Each design offered in this unique transitional collection carefully harmonizes the clean, distinctive appearance of nature-inspired Nomadic-Gabbeh designs with the rich, sensuous feelings of a brilliant color palette. Surely to become a statement of style for the floors of today's most fashionable transitional and contemporary room-settings, Oasis offers an extra heavy luxurious pile that is constructed of 100% semi-twisted Virgin wool. The semi-twisted wool contributes to an uneven dyeing process, creating a variety of shades of each vivid hue offered in the collection's six area rugs.

The Hallmark Channel will preview temporarily on the Turner Classic Movie Channel, Science Channel will temporarily preview on TNT, and the Game Show Network will temporarily preview on Cartoon Network.
These channels will start previewing in most markets between Oct. 4-9.
Cable ONE is continuing to examine possible previews to run on CNN and TBS.
The company will provide more information about that programming as it becomes available.
Earlier, Cable ONE announced the removal of Turner Network channels CNN, CNN en Espanol, Headline News, Turner Classic Movies, TruTV, and Boomerang from its channel line-up following the expiration of the Cable ONE/Turner Network contract.
Following this announcement, Turner Network deauthorized signals to TNT, TBS, and the Cartoon Network, despite the fact that Cable ONE has a valid contract to continue carriage of these channels.
"Turner has chosen to punish our customers by deauthorizing the signals for these channels so that they will no longer receive them," said Trish Niemann, Cable ONE public relations manager. "We believe that they have deauthorized these channels in retaliation for us dropping their less popular programming."
Cable ONE has announced that they will be crediting customers. Customers do not need to call in to receive their credit – it will automatically be applied to an upcoming billing statement.

Airport Madrid
Madrid's ever enlarging Barajas Airport flies over 50 million passengers annually from its four terminals. Barajas is 12 km (7.5 miles) from the city centre and in 12 minutes by Madrid's efficient metro you can reach Nuevos Minesterios in the business district.
Make your own arrangements in advance for transport to and from the airport
Distance from city centre
12 km (7.5 miles) northeast of the centre of Madrid.

In a highly selective way, flows of internal migrants within Taiwan have responded quickly to political, economic, and social changes throughout the nation's history, and have spurred development of the country's industrial, services, and technological industries. In the past 20 years, however, international migration has reemerged in relevance and now includes the immigration of foreign workers and wives and the emigration of some of Taiwan's best and brightest.
From rather humble beginnings, the Chinese immigrant population in the United States has grown steadily since the 1960s to reach about 1.8 million in 2010. Compared to the foreign born overall, Chinese immigrants report higher levels of educational attainment, are less likely to live in households with an annual income below the poverty line, and are substantially more likely to have naturalized as U.S. citizens.
More than 1 million people became legal permanent residents (LPRs) in the United States in 2010. Nearly two-thirds of new LPRs are immigrants with family ties in the United States, report MPI's Carola Balbuena and Jeanne Batalova in this updated look at the latest statistics on legal immigration.
At just under 517,000, immigrant apprehensions in 2010 were the lowest they have been in nearly 40 years. Sheida Elmi and Kristen McCabe analyze the most recent immigration enforcement data on apprehensions, detentions, removals, and returns of noncitizens in the United States.
