Billy Nowell, Mayor
Board of Aldermen
It wasn't all that many years ago that we had excellent cable TV. The basic plan included two stations in Memphis, two from Jackson, one from Monroe, LA, and one from Little Rock, Arkansas. All of these stations plus the usual additional were available for approximately $28.00 per month. Now we get none of the above additional stations and are charged approximately $60.00 per month. My daughter who lives in Glendale, Missouri, using cable with over 120 channels pays just $30.00 per month.
The local CableOne people I've had contact with are great! It's the corporate headquarters that makes the decision to give less service and charge more.
I support the Mayor and Board in denying CableOne a new contract unless they restore some of the former stations.
It just may be the time to try for a new cable company.

Frequently Asked Questions
We've pulled together some of the most frequently asked questions and their answers into this area of the site. Keep checking for new questions as we'll be updating them regularly. If you'd like an answer to a question that hasn't been covered then get in touch via the contact us section.
1. What exactly will the Convention do?
The All Wales Convention will explain to the Welsh public about the powers currently available to the National Assembly for Wales and to the Welsh Ministers (or ' the system of government in Wales') and also assess the implications of moving towards full law making powers, considering the arguments for and against a move in this direction.
The All Wales Convention will aim to give a wide range of people across Wales, the opportunity to share their views on this subject, so that the question of full law making powers can be explored thoroughly with a full appreciation of people's views and concerns. These views will then be considered as part of a report that will be presented to the Welsh Assembly Government so they can make a fully informed decision on whether Wales is ready for a referendum.
The specific objectives of the All Wales Convention are to:
- Raise awareness and improve understanding of the current arrangements for devolved government in Wales and of the provisions of Part 4 of the Government of Wales Act 2006, and their future implications for the governance of Wales.
- Facilitate and stimulate a widespread, thorough and participative consultation at all levels of Welsh society on the issue of full law making powers.
- Prepare an analysis of the views expressed and the evidence presented through this process.
- Assess the level of public support for giving the National Assembly for Wales primary law making powers.
- Report to the Welsh Assembly Government on its findings, with recommendations relevant to the holding of a referendum.
2. What are the current law making powers of the National assembly for Wales?
The existing law making powers of the National Assembly for Wales (the Assembly) are set out in Part 3 of the Government of Wales Act (GOWA) 2006. These came into force following the National Assembly elections in May 2007.
The National Assembly for Wales has powers to pass laws called Assembly Measures. Measures can only be passed in defined policy areas called Matters. Matters are listed in Schedule 5 to the Government of Wales Act (GOWA) 2006, under broad policy area descriptions called fields.
Further Matters can be added to Schedule 5, provided they relate to one of the devolved policy areas that are set out in that schedule. They can be added either:
- through inclusion in a UK Parliamentary Act, or
- by an Order in Council (called a Legislative Competence Order (LCO)).
Whichever route is used, new matters can be included in Schedule 5 only with the agreement of the UK Parliament. This means that areas of policy in which the National Assembly will be able to pass laws will be added to Schedule 5 gradually, on a case by case basis, by agreement with Parliament.
3. What would it mean if the National Assembly for Wales had full law making powers under Part 4 of the Government of Wales Act (GOWA) 2006?
If the National Assembly had full law making powers, it would be able to pass laws, called Acts, in the full range of devolved policy areas. It would acquire these powers all at once, if and when Part 4 came into force.
The National Assembly would, therefore, have unrestricted powers to pass Acts in all devolved policy areas. It would no longer need to seek Parliament's agreement, on a case by case basis.
The areas of policy where the National Assembly would be able to pass Acts, i.e., the full range of devolved policy areas, are set out in Schedule 7 to GOWA 2006.
4. How and when could the National Assembly for Wales acquire full law making powers?
Currently, the Assembly does not have full law making powers, as Part 4 and Schedule 7 of the Government of Wales Act (GOWA) 2006 are not in force.
To enable the transfer of full law making powers, two thirds of the National Assembly Members and a majority of Members of Parliament, together with the Secretary of State for Wales, would need to agree to call a referendum on the issue.
If a majority of those who voted in a referendum were in favour, the National Assembly would be given the power to make laws in all the areas set out in Schedule 7 (i.e. in the full range of devolved policy areas) without needing to seek permission from Westminster on a case by case basis.
5. What is the difference between the National Assembly for Wales' powers to pass Measures, and the executive powers of the Welsh Assembly Government?
The National Assembly for Wales can pass Measures under new powers in the Government of Wales Act (GOWA) 2006, Part 3. Such Measures have an effect similar to an Act of Parliament. The Assembly cannot pass Measures in the full range of devolved policy areas, but only in those areas where it has acquired the powers through an LCO or UK Bill.
The Welsh Ministers, who form the Welsh Assembly Government (along with the Counsel General and Deputy Welsh Ministers), have executive powers in a wide range of policy areas – basically, in the policy areas which are devolved in Wales.
These executive powers include powers to pass subordinate legislation (i.e., legislation which is subordinate to Acts of Parliament or Measures); issue guidance and set policy direction in devolved policy areas in Wales.
Sometimes, the Welsh Assembly Government does not have enough executive powers to take forward its policies in devolved policy areas. At such times, it needs to acquire further powers through either Acts of Parliament or Assembly Measures.

Bill Kurtis, international man of mystery and intrigue!
Well, I'm not actually mysterious at all, and I've never been out of the country. In fact, I'm an Altoid – a hometown boy! I actually started at WALY 103.9 in 1991 as a Board Operator. I returned in 1999 and have been "On The Air" every Afternoon from 2pm til 7pm since then.
Born and raised in the 6th Ward section of Altoona with 5 older half brothers and 2 older half-sisters - I'm the baby of the family! Everything was close to home back then, right there in the neighborhood. We walked to the penny candy store where I probably ate miles of shoe-string licorice and more chocolate bars than Charlie from Willy Wonka! Oh, how we love pulling the little red wagon full of pop bottles to be exchanged for cash ...then the candy! I have never, ever taken a bus to school! Lots of great memories walking to Adams Elementary, Roosevelt Jr. High, Altoona High and Vo-Tech – especially stopping at Winky's, Big John's Corner Store, Austin's Market and of course ...the local A & P!! We never stayed inside, but were always playing outdoors whether summer or winter. Oh the memories of hide and seek and kickball in the alley, riding bikes and don't forget four-square. And who can forget, that when the street lights came on, it was time to go home.
My Dad was the chef in the house when I was growing up, and I've taken after him. Wish I could make his meatloaf – I've never even tried, because his is the best in the world! I do almost all of the cooking for my family! I love to cook, and watch just about every television cooking show there is, especially "Cut throat Kitchen" and "Chopped!"
I love the great outdoors, and love where I live with a view of the mountains ...right out the back door!

"Flu season starts later in the Delta and Mississippi because of the warm climate but we have seen an increase in the southern part of the state in places like Jackson, Hattiesburg and on the coast," said Dr. Alfio Rausa, District Health Officer for the Mississippi State Department of Health.
In Mississippi flu season generally starts at the end of December and lasts until January or February.
While it's important for everyone who is physically able get vaccinated for the flu, it is especially important for pregnant women, seniors who are 65 and older and those with chronic health conditions to get flu shots.
Infants under six months cannot receive flu shots but there are still things you can do to keep your young child from becoming sick. "Moms, dads, siblings and anyone else who will come into contact with the baby should all get vaccinated. If you surround the newborn with people who have already been vaccinated there's a greater chance the child won't get sick," said Rausa.
Seniors should also get a flu shot because of a decrease in our immune system as we age leaves us open to the virus.
"The elderly are more susceptible to the virus because their system is wearing down. This comes with age. It's important for seniors to get the flu shot because they may have a more serious case and could die," said Rausa.
"If you get 70 to 80 percent of the population vaccinated the community becomes more protected. This is because vaccinated people surround the people who are susceptible. This protects against an outbreak," said Rausa.
If you do happen to contract the flu there are over the counter medications, such as Tamiflu, that can cut down on the length of your illness. "Within the first 24 hours of developing flu symptoms you can get medication that will help combat the virus, but this medication must be prescribed," said Rausa.
The easiest way to avoid catching the flu is to get a flu shot, but you can also do things like wash your hands more, avoid touching your face, cough and sneeze into your elbow instead of your hand and stay away from sick people.

Bennington teacher who made headlines denies felony chargeBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | January 28,2013BENNINGTON — A Bennington high school teacher who made headlines, earlier this month, for being hospitalized after making what some described as "disturbing" comments through social network sites was arraigned on Monday on a felony charge after police said they believed he broke into the home he once shared with his estranged wife.
Steven P. Davis, 35, who now lives in Troy, N.Y., pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to a felony charge of unlawful trespass into an occupied home and a misdemeanor charge of violating an abuse prevention order against his wife.
Davis appeared in court without an attorney but said he had hired an attorney who would represent him in future court appearances. He was released on Monday without bail but ordered to observe a 24-hour curfew at the hotel in Troy where he's living.
In an affidavit, Sgt. Michael Plusch, of the Bennington Police Department, said he heard from Davis on Friday, around 10:40 p.m. Plusch said Davis had made accusations that his children were not safe in the home where they were staying.
Plusch said he knew that an abuse prevention order had been filed against Davis on Jan. 15. He said he called Davis back after reviewing the order and told him he could request the order be changed to allow him contact with his children but warned Davis that the phone call Davis had made could be interpreted as an attempt to contact his wife through the police which could lead to Davis' arrest.
Plusch said he met with Anna Deery, who said she provides day care services for Davis' children, on Sunday around 5:30 p.m.
Deery told police that she had seen Davis drive by her home on Saturday around 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
Both times, she said she saw Davis turn on to Elm Street where he once lived.
Plusch said he traveled to the area himself and determined there were no places Davis might have visited like grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations or professional offices.
"Davis is restricted from coming within 200 feet of the residence ... There is no reason for being on this portion of Elm Street except to drive (past) the residence ... considering he is currently living in Troy, New York," Plusch said.
According to Plusch, officers received a report later on Sunday that Davis' house had a broken basement window and its doors were open.
Officers who responded found that someone had entered the home, turned off the power and heat and removed two landline phones, several pairs of men's shoes and eight photographs that police believed belonged to Davis.
Plusch said Deery had provided him with copies of postings that Davis allegedly made to the Internet. In one he expressed unhappiness about being denied contact with "the people that matter to me most" even though he had been given a "clear bill of health." The second posting quoted the Constitution passage on the right to bear arms.
Davis' behavior has attracted national attention after police said they had confiscated a Bushmaster semi-automatic assault rifle, about 500 rounds of ammunition and two magazines although police said the rifle did not appear to have ever been fired.
Davis also sent emails criticizing teachers and administrators at Mount Anthony Union High School.
The school district has hired other teachers to finish out Davis' classes for this year.

NeoStrata Canada is not associated in any way with the NeoStrata brand sold in the United States, and the product selections are completely different. We asked NeoStrata Canada's owner, Canderma Pharma, Inc., why many of the products are completely different, but no one would tell us, so it remains a mystery.
What NeoStrata Canada and the U.S.-sold NeoStrata products do have in common is an abundance of well-formulated AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) exfoliants at effective concentrations and at the correct pH levels. The prices are all over the place, but for the most part you can be assured that any AHA product you purchase from NeoStrata Canada will exfoliate your skin and provide additional benefits such as improved skin texture and tone.
Exfoliants are both lines' key selling point, but they're not perfect. For example, the AHA products with sunscreen do not provide enough critical UVA protection (meaning they lack the UVA-protecting active ingredients of avobenzone, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, Tinsorb, ecamsule, or Mexoryl SX). That lack is a disappointment for those who were hoping that an AHA plus sunscreen would be a convenience.
NeoStrata Canada has several other intriguing products that include impressive ingredients such as peptides, retinol, vitamin C, and the company's patented AHA alternative, the polyhydroxy acid known as gluconolactone. Despite including some great ingredients, the formulas suffer from the inclusion of irritants (alcohol is a big one) and/or packaging that won't keep the beneficial ingredients stable during use.
The serums with vitamin C are worth a look, if you're curious about vitamin C. However, you'd do better looking for vitamin C in a product that also treats your skin to a variety of beneficial ingredients because one antioxidant is never enough; your skin requires much more (just like your diet) to be healthy so it can look and act younger.
Because NeoStrata Canada's products are not associated with the NeoStrata brand sold in the United States, our team called NeoStrata Canada's customer service to get additional consumer information about their products. Unfortunately, NeoStrata Canada's customer service phone number was perpetually set to voicemail, and our numerous messages (all left as regular customers, not as investigators) were never returned. After two weeks, the one email reply we did get in response to a question concerning active ingredients said simply that they couldn't give us any information. Their solution was to tell us that we would have to locate the product on store shelves to answer our own question. Either our question was too probing or NeoStrata Canada's strength is not customer service.

I went through some of the help requests and didn't see one for my problem (didn't get through all pages).
I want to create a drop shadow that is not even all over. E.g. If a paper is crumpled, some of the shadow underneath it will look deeper than others. Also, if a paper is curled, the shadow will not be the same as under the uncurled section. I have seen these drop shadows on kits before, but I want to do my own. Any suggestions? I am an intermediate level user of CS5.

This epistle shows Christ as the end, foundation, body, and truth of the figures of the law, which of themselves were no virtue for the soul. The great truth set forth in this epistle is that Jesus of Nazareth is the true God. The unconverted Jews used many arguments to draw their converted brethren from the Christian faith. They represented the law of Moses as superior to the Christian dispensation, and spoke against every thing connected with the Saviour. The apostle, therefore, shows the superiority of Jesus of Nazareth, as the Son of God, and the benefits from his sufferings and death as the sacrifice for sin, so that the Christian religion is much more excellent and perfect than that of Moses. And the principal design seems to be, to bring the converted Hebrews forward in the knowledge of the gospel, and thus to establish them in the Christian faith, and to prevent their turning from it, against which they are earnestly warned. But while it contains many things suitable to the Hebrews of early times, it also contains many which can never cease to interest the church of God; for the knowledge of Jesus Christ is the very marrow and kernel of all the Scriptures. The ceremonial law is full of Christ, and all the gospel is full of Christ; the blessed lines of both Testaments meet in Him; and how they both agree and sweetly unite in Jesus Christ, is the chief object of the epistle to the Hebrews to discover.
The surpassing dignity of the Son of God in his Divine person, and in his creating and mediatorial work. (1-3) And in his superiority to all the holy angels. (4-14)
Verses 1-3 God spake to his ancient people at sundry times, through successive generations, and in divers manners, as he thought proper; sometimes by personal directions, sometimes by dreams, sometimes by visions, sometimes by Divine influences on the minds of the prophets. The gospel revelation is excellent above the former; in that it is a revelation which God has made by his Son. In beholding the power, wisdom, and goodness of the Lord Jesus Christ, we behold the power, wisdom, and goodness of the Father, ( John 14:7 ) ; the fulness of the Godhead dwells, not typically, or in a figure, but really, in him. When, on the fall of man, the world was breaking to pieces under the wrath and curse of God, the Son of God, undertaking the work of redemption, sustained it by his almighty power and goodness. From the glory of the person and office of Christ, we proceed to the glory of his grace. The glory of His person and nature, gave to his sufferings such merit as was a full satisfaction to the honour of God, who suffered an infinite injury and affront by the sins of men. We never can be thankful enough that God has in so many ways, and with such increasing clearness, spoken to us fallen sinners concerning salvation. That he should by himself cleanse us from our sins is a wonder of love beyond our utmost powers of admiration, gratitude, and praise.
Verses 4-14 Many Jews had a superstitious or idolatrous respect for angels, because they had received the law and other tidings of the Divine will by their ministry. They looked upon them as mediators between God and men, and some went so far as to pay them a kind of religious homage or worship. Thus it was necessary that the apostle should insist, not only on Christ's being the Creator of all things, and therefore of angels themselves, but as being the risen and exalted Messiah in human nature, to whom angels, authorities, and powers are made subject. To prove this, several passages are brought from the Old Testament. On comparing what God there says of the angels, with what he says to Christ, the inferiority of the angels to Christ plainly appears. Here is the office of the angels; they are God's ministers or servants, to do his pleasure. But, how much greater things are said of Christ by the Father! And let us own and honour him as God; for if he had not been God, he had never done the Mediator's work, and had never worn the Mediator's crown. It is declared how Christ was qualified for the office of Mediator, and how he was confirmed in it: he has the name Messiah from his being anointed. Only as Man he has his fellows, and as anointed with the Holy Spirit; but he is above all prophets, priests, and kings, that ever were employed in the service of God on earth. Another passage of Scripture, Ps. 102:25-27 , is recited, in which the Almighty power of the Lord Jesus Christ is declared, both in creating the world and in changing it. Christ will fold up this world as a garment, not to be abused any longer, not to be used as it has been. As a sovereign, when his garments of state are folded and put away, is a sovereign still, so our Lord, when he has laid aside the earth and heavens like a vesture, shall be still the same. Let us not then set our hearts upon that which is not what we take it to be, and will not be what it now is. Sin has made a great change in the world for the worse, and Christ will make a great change in it for the better. Let the thoughts of this make us watchful, diligent, and desirous of that better world. The Saviour has done much to make all men his friends, yet he has enemies. But they shall be made his footstool, by humble submission, or by utter destruction. Christ shall go on conquering and to conquer. The most exalted angels are but ministering spirits, mere servants of Christ, to execute his commands. The saints, at present, are heirs, not yet come into possession. The angels minister to them in opposing the malice and power of evil spirits, in protecting and keeping their bodies, instructing and comforting their souls, under Christ and the Holy Ghost. Angels shall gather all the saints together at the last day, when all whose hearts and hopes are set upon perishing treasures and fading glories, will be driven from Christ's presence into everlasting misery.
Hebrews 1:1-14 . THE HIGHEST OF ALL REVELATIONS IS GIVEN US NOW IN THE SON OF GOD, WHO IS GREATER THAN THE ANGELS, AND WHO, HAVING COMPLETED REDEMPTION, SITS ENTHRONED AT GOD'S RIGHT HAND.
The writer, though not inscribing his name, was well known to those addressed ( Hebrews 13:19 ). For proofs of Paul being the author, see my Introduction. In the Pauline method, the statement of subject and the division are put before the discussion; and at the close, the practical follows the doctrinal portion. The ardor of Spirit in this Epistle, as in First John, bursting forth at once into the subject (without prefatory inscription of name and greeting), the more effectively strikes the hearers. The date must have been while the temple was yet standing, before its destruction, A.D. 70; some time before the martyrdom of Peter, who mentions this Epistle of Paul ( 2 Peter 3:15 2 Peter 3:16 ); at a time when many of the first hearers of the Lord were dead.
1. at sundry times--Greek, "in many portions." All was not revealed to each one prophet; but one received one portion of revelation, and another another. To Noah the quarter of the world to which Messiah should belong was revealed; to Abraham, the nation; to Jacob, the tribe; to David and Isaiah, the family; to Micah, the town of nativity; to Daniel, the exact time; to Malachi, the coming of His forerunner, and His second advent; through Jonah, His burial and resurrection; through Isaiah and Hosea, His resurrection. Each only knew in part; but when that which was perfect came in Messiah, that which was in part was done away ( 1 Corinthians 13:12 ).
in divers manners--for example, internal suggestions, audible voices, the Urim and Thummim, dreams, and visions. "In one way He was seen by Abraham, in another by Moses, in another by Elias, and in another by Micah; Isaiah, Daniel, and Ezekiel, beheld different forms" [THEODORET]. (Compare Numbers 12:6-8 ). The Old Testament revelations were fragmentary in substance, and manifold in form; the very multitude of prophets shows that they prophesied only in part. In Christ, the revelation of God is full, not in shifting hues of separated color, but Himself the pure light, uniting in His one person the whole spectrum ( Hebrews 1:3 ).
spake--the expression usual for a Jew to employ in addressing Jews. So Matthew, a Jew writing especially for Jews, quotes Scripture, not by the formula, "It is written," but "said," &c.
in time past--From Malachi, the last of the Old Testament prophets, for four hundred years, there had arisen no prophet, in order that the Son might be the more an object of expectation [BENGEL]. As God (the Father) is introduced as having spoken here; so God the Son, Hebrews 2:3 ; God the Holy Ghost, Hebrews 3:7 .
the fathers--the Jewish fathers. The Jews of former days ( 1 Corinthians 10:1 ).
by--Greek, "in." A mortal king speaks by his ambassador, not (as the King of kings) in his ambassador. The Son is the last and highest manifestation of God ( Matthew 21:34 Matthew 21:37 ); not merely a measure, as in the prophets, but the fulness of the Spirit of God dwelling in Him bodily ( John 1:16 , 3:34 , Colossians 2:9 ). Thus he answers the Jewish objection drawn from their prophets. Jesus is the end of all prophecy ( Revelation 19:10 ), and of the law of Moses ( John 1:17 , 5:46 ).
2. in these last days--In the oldest manuscripts the Greek is. "At the last part of these days." The Rabbins divided the whole of time into "this age," or "world," and "the age to come" ( Hebrews 2:5 , 6:5 ). The days of Messiah were the transition period or "last part of these days" (in contrast to "in times past"), the close of the existing dispensation, and beginning of the final dispensation of which Christ's second coming shall be the crowning consummation.
by his Son--Greek, "IN (His) Son" ( John 14:10 ). The true "Prophet" of God. "His majesty is set forth: (1) Absolutely by the very name "Son," and by three glorious predicates, "whom He hath appointed," "by whom He made the worlds," "who sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;" thus His course is described from the beginning of all things till he reached the goal ( Hebrews 1:2 Hebrews 1:3 ). (2) Relatively, in comparison with the angels, Hebrews 1:4 ; the confirmation of this follows, and the very name "Son" is proved at Hebrews 1:5 ; the "heirship," Hebrews 1:6-9 ; the "making the worlds," Hebrews 1:10-12 ; the "sitting at the right hand" of God, Hebrews 1:13 Hebrews 1:14 ." His being made heir follows His sonship, and preceded His making the worlds ( Proverbs 8:22 Proverbs 8:23 , Ephesians 3:11 ). As the first begotten, He is heir of the universe ( Hebrews 1:6 ), which He made instrumentally, Hebrews 11:3 , where "by the Word of God" answers to "by whom"' (the Son of God) here ( John 1:3 ). Christ was "appointed" (in God's eternal counsel) to creation as an office; and the universe so created was assigned to Him as a kingdom. He is "heir of all things" by right of creation, and especially by right of redemption. The promise to Abraham that he should be heir of the world had its fulfilment, and will have it still more fully, in Christ ( Romans 4:13 , Galatians 3:16 , 4:7 ).
worlds--the inferior and the superior worlds ( Colossians 1:16 ). Literally, "ages" with all things and persons belonging to them; the universe, including all space and ages of time, and all material and spiritual existences. The Greek implies, He not only appointed His Son heir of all things before creation, but He also (better than "also He") made by Him the worlds.
3. Who being--by pre-existent and essential being.
brightness of his glory--Greek, the effulgence of His glory. "Light of (from) light" [Nicene Creed]. "Who is so senseless as to doubt concerning the eternal being of the Son? For when has one seen light without effulgence?" [ATHANASIUS, Against Arius, Orations, 2]. "The sun is never seen without effulgence, nor the Father without the Son" [THEOPHYLACT]. It is because He is the brightness, &c., and because He upholds, &c., that He sat down on the right hand, &c. It was a return to His divine glory ( John 6:62 , 17:5 ; compare Wisdom 7:25,26, where similar things are said of wisdom).
express image--"impress." But veiled in the flesh.
The Sun of God in glory beams Too bright for us to scan; But we can face the light that streams For the mild Son of man. ( 2 Corinthians 3:18 ) |
4. Being made . . . better--by His exaltation by the Father ( Hebrews 1:3 Hebrews 1:13 ):in contrast to His being "made lower than the angels" ( Hebrews 2:9 ). "Better," that is, superior to. As "being" ( Hebrews 1:3 ) expresses His essential being so "being made" ( Hebrews 7:26 ) marks what He became in His assumed manhood ( Philippians 2:6-9 ). Paul shows that His humbled form (at which the Jews might stumble) is no objection to His divine Messiahship. As the law was given by the ministration of angels and Moses, it was inferior to the Gospel given by the divine Son, who both is ( Hebrews 1:4-14 ) as God, and has been made, as the exalted Son of man ( Hebrews 2:5-18 ), much better than the angels. The manifestations of God by angels (and even by the angel of the covenant) at different times in the Old Testament, did not bring man and God into personal union, as the manifestation of God in human flesh does.
by inheritance obtained--He always had the thing itself, namely, Sonship; but He "obtained by inheritance," according to the promise of the Father, the name "Son," whereby He is made known to men and angels. He is "the Son of God" is a sense far exalted above that in which angels are called "sons of God" ( Job 1:6 , 38:7 ). "The fulness of the glory of the peculiar name "the Son of God," is unattainable by human speech or thought. All appellations are but fragments of its glory beams united in it as in a central sun, Revelation 19:12 . A name that no than knew but He Himself."
5. For--substantiating His having "obtained a more excellent name than the angels."
unto which--A frequent argument in this Epistle is derived from the silence of Scripture ( Hebrews 1:13 , Hebrews 2:16 , Hebrews 7:3 Hebrews 7:14 ) [BENGEL].
this day have I begotten thee--( Psalms 2:7 ). Fulfilled at the resurrection of Jesus, whereby the Father "declared," that is, made manifest His divine Sonship, heretofore veiled by His humiliation ( Acts 13:33 , Romans 1:4 ). Christ has a fourfold right to the title "Son of God"; (1) By generation, as begotten of God; (2) By commission, as sent by God; (3) By resurrection, as "the first-begotten of the dead" (compare Luke 20:36 , Romans 1:4 , Revelation 1:5 ); (4) By actual possession, as heir of all [BISHOP PEARSON]. The Psalm here quoted applied primarily in a less full sense to Solomon, of whom God promised by Nathan to David. "I will be his father and he shall be my son." But as the whole theocracy was of Messianic import, the triumph of David over Hadadezer and neighboring kings ( 2 Samuel 8:1-18 , Psalms 2:2 Psalms 2:3 Psalms 2:9-12 ) is a type of God's ultimately subduing all enemies under His Son. whom He sets (Hebrew, "anointed," Psalms 2:6 ) on His "holy hill of Zion," as King of the Jews and of the whole earth. the antitype to Solomon, son of David. The "I" in Greek is emphatic; I the Everlasting Father have begotten Thee this day, that is, on this day, the day of Thy being manifested as My Son, "the first-begotten of the dead" ( Colossians 1:18 , Revelation 1:5 ). when Thou hast ransomed and opened heaven to Thy people. He had been always Son, but now first was manifested as such in His once humbled, now exalted manhood united to His Godhead. ALFORD refers "this day" to the eternal generation of the Son: the day in which the Son was begotten by the Father is an everlasting to-day: there never was a yesterday or past time to Him, nor a to-morrow or future time: "Nothing there is to come, and nothing past, but an eternal NOW doth ever last" ( Proverbs 30:4 , John 10:30 John 10:38 , 16:28 , 17:8 ). The communication of the divine essence in its fulness, involves eternal generation; for the divine essence has no beginning. But the context refers to a definite point of time, namely, that of His having entered on the inheritance ( Hebrews 1:4 ). The "bringing the first-begotten into the world" ( Hebrews 1:6 ), is not subsequent, as ALFORD thinks, to Hebrews 1:5 , but anterior to it (compare Acts 2:30-35 ).
6. And--Greek, "But." Not only this proves His superiority, BUT a more decisive proof is Psalms 97:7 , which shows that not only at His resurrection, but also in prospect of His being brought into the world (compare Hebrews 9:11 , 10:5 ) as man, in His incarnation, nativity ( Luke 2:9-14 ), temptation ( Matthew 4:10 Matthew 4:11 ), resurrection ( Matthew 28:2 ), and future second advent in glory. angels were designed by God to be subject to Him. Compare 1 Timothy 3:16 , "seen of angels"; God manifesting Messiah as one to be gazed at with adoring love by heavenly intelligences ( Ephesians 3:10 , 2 Thessalonians 1:9 2 Thessalonians 1:10 , 1 Peter 3:22 ). The fullest realization of His Lordship shall be at His second coming ( Psalms 97:7 , 1 Corinthians 15:24 1 Corinthians 15:25 , Philippians 2:9 ). "Worship Him all ye gods" ("gods," that is, exalted beings, as angels), refers to God; but it was universally admitted among the Hebrews that God would dwell, in a peculiar sense, in Messiah (so as to be in the Talmud phrase, "capable of being pointed to with the finger"); and so what was said of God was true of, and to be fulfilled in, Messiah. KIMCHI says that the ninety-third through the hundred first Psalms contain in them the mystery of Messiah. God ruled the theocracy in and through Him.
the world--subject to Christ ( Hebrews 2:5 ). As "the first-begotten" He has the rights of primogeniture ( Romans 8:29 ); Colossians 1:15 Colossians 1:16 Colossians 1:18 ). In Deuteronomy 32:43 , the Septuagint has, "Let all the angels of God worship Him," words not now found in the Hebrew. This passage of the Septuagint may have been in Paul's mind as to the form, but the substance is taken from Psalms 97:7 . The type David, in the Psalms 89:27 (quoted in Hebrews 1:5 ), is called "God's first-born, higher than the kings of the earth"; so the antitypical first-begotten, the son of David, is to be worshipped by all inferior lords, such as angels ("gods," Psalms 97:7 ); for He is "King of kings and Lord of lords" ( Revelation 19:16 ). In the Greek, "again" is transposed; but this does not oblige us, as ALFORD thinks, to translate, "when He again shall have introduced," &c. namely, at Christ's second coming; for there is no previous mention of a first bringing in; and "again" is often used in quotations, not to be joined with the verb, but parenthetically ("that I may again quote Scripture"). English Version is correct (compare Matthew 5:33 ; Greek, John 12:39 ).
7. of--The Greek is rather, "In reference TO the angels."
spirits--or "winds": Who employeth His angels as the winds, His ministers as the lightnings; or, He maketh His angelic ministers the directing powers of winds and flames, when these latter are required to perform His will. "Commissions them to assume the agency or form of flames for His purposes" [ALFORD]. English Version, "maketh His angels spirits," means, He maketh them of a subtle, incorporeal nature, swift as the wind. So Psalms 18:10 , "a cherub . . . the wings of the wind." Hebrews 1:14 , "ministering spirits," favors English Version here. As "spirits" implies the wind-like velocity and subtle nature of the cherubim, so "flame of fire" expresses the burning devotion and intense all-consuming zeal of the adoring seraphim (meaning "burning), Isaiah 6:1 . The translation, "maketh winds His messengers, and a flame of fire His ministers (!)," is plainly wrong. In the Psalms 104:3 Psalms 104:4 , the subject in each clause comes first, and the attribute predicated of it second; so the Greek article here marks "angels" and "ministers" as the subjects, and "winds" and "flame of fire," predicates, Schemoth Rabba says, "God is called God of Zebaoth (the heavenly hosts), because He does what He pleases with His angels. When He pleases, He makes them to sit ( Judges 6:11 ); at other times to stand ( Isaiah 6:2 ); at times to resemble women ( Zechariah 5:9 ); at other times to resemble men ( Genesis 18:2 ); at times He makes them 'spirits'; at times, fire." "Maketh" implies that, however exalted, they are but creatures, whereas the Son is the Creator ( Hebrews 1:10 ):not begotten from everlasting, nor to be worshipped, as the Son ( Revelation 14:7 , Revelation 22:8 Revelation 22:9 ).
8. O God--the Greek has the article to mark emphasis ( Psalms 45:6 Psalms 45:7 ).
for ever . . . righteousness--Everlasting duration and righteousness go together ( Psalms 45:2 , 89:14 ).
a sceptre of righteousness--literally, "a rod of rectitude," or "straightforwardness." The oldest manuscripts prefix "and" (compare Esther 4:11 ).
9. iniquity--"unnrighteousness." Some oldest manuscripts read, "lawlessness."
therefore--because God loves righteousness and hates iniquity.
God . . . thy God--JEROME, AUGUSTINE, and others translate Psalms 45:7 , "O God, Thy God, hath anointed thee," whereby Christ is addressed as God. This is probably the true translation of the Hebrew there, and also of the Greek of Hebrews here; for it is likely the Son is addressed, "O God," as in Hebrews 1:8 . The anointing here meant is not that at His baptism, when He solemnly entered on His ministry for us; but that with the "oil of gladness," or "exulting joy" (which denotes a triumph, and follows as the consequence of His manifested love of righteousness and hatred of iniquity), wherewith, after His triumphant completion of His work, He has been anointed by the Father above His fellows (not only above us, His fellow men, the adopted members of God's family. whom "He is not ashamed to call His brethren," but above the angels, fellow partakers in part with Him, though infinitely His inferiors, in the glories, holiness, and joys of heaven; "sons of God," and angel "messengers," though subordinate to the divine Angel--"Messenger of the covenant"). Thus He is antitype to Solomon, "chosen of all David's many sons to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel," even as His father David was chosen before all the house of his father's sons. The image is drawn from the custom of anointing guests at feasts ( Psalms 23:5 ); or rather of anointing kings: not until His ascension did He assume the kingdom as Son of man. A fuller accomplishment is yet to be, when He shall be VISIBLY the anointed King over the whole earth (set by the Father) on His holy hill of Zion, Psalms 2:6 Psalms 2:8 . So David, His type, was first anointed at Bethlehem ( 1 Samuel 16:13 , Psalms 89:20 ); and yet again at Hebron, first over Judah ( 2 Samuel 2:4 ), then over all Israel ( 2 Samuel 5:3 ); not till the death of Saul did he enter on his actual kingdom; as it was not till after Christ's death that the Father set Him at His right hand far above all principalities ( Ephesians 1:20 Ephesians 1:21 ). The forty-fifth Psalm in its first meaning was addressed to Solomon; but the Holy Spirit inspired the writer to use language which in its fulness can only apply to the antitypical Solomon, the true Royal Head of the theocracy.
10. And--In another passage ( Psalms 102:25-27 ) He says.
in the beginning--English Version, Psalms 102:25 , "of old": Hebrew, "before," "aforetime." The Septuagint, "in the beginning" (as in Genesis 1:1 ) answers by contrast to the end implied in "They shall perish," &c. The Greek order here (not in the Septuagint) is, "Thou in the beginning, O Lord," which throws the "Lord" into emphasis. "Christ is preached even in passages where many might contend that the Father was principally intended" [BENGEL].
laid the foundation of--"firmly founded" is included in the idea of the Greek.
heavens--plural: not merely one, but manifold, and including various orders of heavenly intelligences ( Ephesians 4:10 ).
works of thine hands--the heavens, as a woven veil or curtain spread out.
11. They--The earth and the heavens in their present state and form "shall perish" ( Hebrews 12:26 Hebrews 12:27 , 2 Peter 3:13 ). "Perish" does not mean annihilation; just as it did not mean so in the case of "the world that being overflowed with water, perished" under Noah ( 2 Peter 3:6 ). The covenant of the possession of the earth was renewed with Noah and his seed on the renovated earth. So it shall be after the perishing by fire ( 2 Peter 3:12 2 Peter 3:13 ).
remainest--through (so the Greek) all changes.
as . . . a garment--( Isaiah 51:6 ).
12. vesture--Greek, "an enwrapping cloak."
fold them up--So the Septuagint, Psalms 102:26 ; but the Hebrew, "change them." The Spirit, by Paul, treats the Hebrew of the Old Testament, with independence of handling, presenting the divine truth in various aspects; sometimes as here sanctioning the Septuagint (compare Isaiah 34:4 , Revelation 6:14 ); sometimes the Hebrew; sometimes varying from both.
changed--as one lays aside a garment to put on another.
thou art the same--( Isaiah 46:4 , Malachi 3:6 ). The same in nature, therefore in covenant faithfulness to Thy people.
shall not fail--Hebrew, "shall not end." Israel, in the Babylonian captivity, in the hundred second Psalm, casts her hopes of deliverance on Messiah, the unchanging covenant God of Israel.
13. Quotation from Psalms 110:1 . The image is taken from the custom of conquerors putting the feet on the necks of the conquered ( Joshua 10:24 Joshua 10:25 ).
14. ministering spirits--referring to Hebrews 1:7 , "spirits . . . ministers." They are incorporeal spirits, as God is, but ministering to Him as inferiors.
sent forth--present participle: "being sent forth" continually, as their regular service in all ages.
to minister--Greek, "unto (that is, 'for') ministry."
for them--Greek, "on account of the." Angels are sent forth on ministrations to God and Christ, not primarily to men, though for the good of "those who are about to inherit salvation" (so the Greek): the elect, who believe, or shall believe, for whom all things, angels included, work together for good ( Romans 8:28 ). Angels' ministrations are not properly rendered to men, since the latter have no power of commanding them, though their ministrations to God are often directed to the good of men. So the superiority of the Son of God to angels is shown. They "all," how ever various their ranks, "minister"; He is ministered to. They "stand" ( Luke 1:19 ) before God, or are "sent forth" to execute the divine commands on behalf of them whom He pleases to save; He "sits on the right hand of the Majesty on high" ( Hebrews 1:3 Hebrews 1:13 ). He rules; they serve.

Rolling Stone Magazine - "Summer Music Preview"
OMG, I want this album!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!! hahaKelly Clarkson
My December
Out Summer
Clarkson's previous album, 2004's Breakaway, sold nearly 6 million copies -- but the original American Idol winner still had higher aspirations for her latest release. "My first two albums are very scattered, with different producers and different writers," she says. "They're collections of songs, not albums by any means." Clarkson wanted her third album to be more cohesive, to tell the story of a tumultuous two years in her life -- during which she won two Grammys, went through a rough breakup, hit her mid-twenties and tried to grow up. Against her label's wishes, she opted to write most of the songs herself, with members of her touring band. The resulting album, produced by David Kahne (who worked on the Strokes' First Impressions of Earth), ranges from alt-country (she names Patty Griffin and Ryan Adams as influences) to Foo Fighters-style rock to bare-bones acoustic ballads. "Never Again" and "One Minute," the candidates for the first single, are both rockers; Clarkson calls the former, penned about the aforementioned breakup, "one of the most bitter songs I've ever written in my life." Kahne brought in an unlikely guest musician for about half the tracks: ex-Minutemen bassist Mike Watt."He played on the rock ones and also on some of the ones with a more singer-songwriter vibe," says Clarkson. "He's a badass on the bass -- he can play anything." (BRIAN HIATT)
Here's a new quote from David, the producer.
Watt didn't play on Never Again. If you like Watt's playing, there's a track on the album that will blow your mind; one of the best guitar riffs I've ever had to work with, and Watt roars on that track. Never Again is amazing too. Kelly tells a story so powerfully, and sings a bridge that
makes me get a chill every time I hear it, and I produced it...

Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.)
Loyola University Chicago's School of Social Work introduces students to the dynamic, changing and challenging profession of social work. Social workers help people of all ages and varying social and economic backgrounds in many settings including child and family agencies, programs for the mentally ill, programs for the developmentally and physically disabled, vocational rehabilitation and employment counseling, the criminal justice system, community centers, the child welfare system, hospitals, day care and schools.
Loyola's social work program offers a unique blend of professional and experienced faculty, an excellent social work curriculum with a strong liberal arts base, and a wide range of opportunities for fieldwork and practical experience.
- Loyola social work graduates have been very successful in obtaining employment in their field, with some becoming employed in the agencies where they had their senior placement. Some graduates have chosen to work in corporate environments; others are pursuing advanced degrees in social work, law, industrial relations, business administration and public health.
- Social work employers recognize the specialized education and skills that empower B.S.W. graduates to make an immediate impact on their organizations and in the lives of their consumers.
Field practicum is an integral and essential component of the B.S.W. degree curriculum. Field practicum places students in agency settings and engages the student in supervised social work practice. It provides valuable opportunities to apply classroom learning in the field. Field coordinators are college or university social work faculty members with M.S.W. degrees and a minimum of two years of work experience.
CSWE mandates that B.S.W. programs establish minimum standards for field supervision and that supervisors are experienced social service agency personnel, preferably with a B.S.W. or M.S.W. degree. This formalized supervision results in consistent high standards of quality.
B.S.W. students must have a minimum of 480 supervised hours of field experience. Through their field practicums, B.S.W. students refine their professional social work skills and integrate classroom course content with on-the-job experience in service provision, outreach, networking and resource development.

i love my racheal ray products and i would always recomend it to everyone and all my friends.. thanks racheal ray and staff.
I have not had the pains for a month and already the pans are scratched. for what i paid id expect the pans not to get sratched up so fast. Im hesitant of even using them again... Very disappointed with Rachel Rays pans. I was very much looking forward to cooking with them for a long time... Not anymore!
I saw this set the first time in a Target in California and fell in love. We had just purchased a house in New Mexico and the wall that went from the kitchen through the family room was a beautiful burnt orange shade. My husband suggested that we wait until we move to get the cook set and so I did. I went to every store within 30 miles and could not find it. I went on line and ordered them direct. Meanwhile I was making do with a few pieces of my old set. The cook set arrived fairly quick. I got it all washed up and used it right away. I use it every day and it cook's wonderful and cleans so easily. I fill the sink with warm soapy water as I am cooking and just through it in. You only need to wipe them off. Even the bottom's stay looking brand new. I love my set and have suggested them to many friends. I only wish I could have gotten them sooner.
4.5 out of 5 stars, based on 166 ratings

92% say this is a "good value"
We are following guidelines of hand wash and no metal ware while cooking and I LOVE the non-stick. It's perfect. You don't need to use anything other than soaking in warm water and soft sponge to clean. It's really easy to pick up because it's light weight. What's different from my last set is the odor resistance. We cook with lots of onions and garlic and with a 5 minute soak, the odor is gone. A great product.

Cetin Oguz, associate professor of art at Delta State University and one of Flight 2020's trailblazers, is organizing the community based performance art project he calls Ride the Line.
Oguz will draw a blue line with chalk while riding his bike and leading a group of cyclists on a six-mile trip from the DSU coliseum to historical downtown through residential Cleveland.
The blue represents the symbolic color of the Flight 2020 campaign.
DSU students and the community are encouraged to participate. Registration for the free event begins at 9:30 a.m. and the ride will begin at 10 a.m.
The innovative performance technique will also bring attention to beautifying city streets and making them more biker-friendly.
"Through this project, Flight 2020 intends to bring awareness for cycling lanes and trails and community integration," said Oguz. "Flight 2020 believes that our future is brighter and healthier when we collaborate.
"A lot of people think of art as being on paper or canvas," he added. "Actually, art can go way beyond that when you use your local environment as a canvas, in a sense."
Signed release forms will be required at registration and participants are encouraged to bring helmets and protective gear.

One of the real rewards of
this job is watching young players live out their childhood dreams. For Tyson Ross, many
of his dreams were realized this week. I
first met Tyson during the summer of 2008.
The 6-6, 225-pound right-hander had been selected by the A's in the
second round of that year's draft and was subsequently signed to a minor league
contract. He was paying a visit to the
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum before reporting to single-A Kane County. Of course, it wasn't the first time he had
stepped foot inside the Coliseum, having grown up in Oakland
and attended both Bishop O'Dowd High School
and Cal.
that sunny afternoon in 2008, he and his parents, Willie and Jean, were all
smiles in the A's dugout. Clearly, it
was a dream come true for Tyson to sign a professional contract with his
childhood team, the Oakland
A's. Little did he and his family realize
but 21 months later, he would live a much bigger dream: wearing a Major League uniform as part of the
A's 2010 Opening Day roster. I still can
see that look on his face–a mix between euphoria and disbelief–when he was
informed by the A's brass in Bob Geren's
office after the final Bay Bridge Series exhibition game that he had, indeed,
made the 25-man roster.
he returned to his locker, where a group of media were milling around. Beyond the ear-to-ear smile, Tyson could only
manage three words at first: "I made
it!" For many of the writers who had
covered him in spring training, I think they also enjoyed the news. Not only because it was a great
local-boy-made-good story, but they–like I–had witnessed what a fine young man
Tyson is. His warm smile, humble
demeanor and cooperative nature had made him one of the clubhouse favorites in Arizona. In fact, after doing a Comcast satellite
talk-back interview for Chronicle Live
from his spring apartment in Tempe
a few weeks ago, I received an almost unprecedented phone call from the Comcast
truck technician. He called me just to
let me know how cooperative and kind Tyson had been with him. That type of call is unheard of in my
meeting with the media, Tyson came into (equipment manager) Steve Vucinich's office. He
asked Vuc if it would be okay for him to call his family to let them know he
made the team. I was privileged to be
standing in Vuc's office when he made the call.
It was really a tender moment, hearing the excitement in his voice as he
told the most important people in his life–those who had driven him to summer
league games, iced his arm after games, helped him stay focused on his
academics at O'Dowd and Cal, in other words, those who loved him since birth
and had always been there for him–that he had made The Show. Since
that night, it's been a whirlwind for Tyson.
The local media continued to flock to him after Opening Night. Comcast's
Longworth did a clever little feature on
"The Passing of the Ball Bag," interviewing Andrew Bailey as he literally handed Tyson the pitcher's
ball bag–a chore reserved for the incoming rookie as part of a time-honored
tradition in baseball. But the flurry of
media attention had just started for Oakland's
Game 3 of the Mariners' series, Ross was
summoned from the bullpen with two outs in the sixth inning in relief of
starter Justin Duchscherer. A's public address announcer Dick Callahan pronounced his entrance: "Now pitching for the A's….making his Major
League debut….number 66….Tyson Ross!" From
the press box, I swear I could see Tyson's heart pounding. But despite being amped up–he forgot to hold
on Franklin
Gutierrez at first base, which resulted
in a stolen base on his first pitch–Ross soon settled into the game. His 95 MPH fastball and nasty slider was no
match for Rob Johnson, who will now always
be remembered as Tyson's first Major League strikeout. Ross mowed down the Mariners again in the
seventh inning. Then in the eighth, he
faced immortality with Ken Griffey, Jr. at the plate. When Kurt Suzuki almost hung on to Junior's two-strike foul tip, I
could only imagine the reaction in the stands by the Ross Family. In unison, they probably all jumped out of
their seats. However, Tyson soon added
the exclamation point to his maiden Major League appearance. He came back to ring up the future Hall of
Famer and completed two-and-one-third scoreless innings in playing a key role
in Oakland's 6-5 victory over Seattle.
was a storybook night for the kid who once played youth baseball games at the
Bushrod baseball fields on the other side of San Leandro Blvd., literally in the
shadow of the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
It's happened so quickly for Tyson Ross, you really can't blame him if
he's not quite sure what's real and what's a dream these days. In either case, it's a safe bet he's in no
hurry to wake up. After all, he's having
the time of his life.

Welcome to Orange County this weekend. I am excited about what we have seen from this ballclub in the opening week!
Great article on Ross, sounds like a great character guy. Another reason to root for the A's in 2010!
