Importing Real football | Beckham adds his share to U.S. trade imbalance
In the time before Beckham … | Filmed on or about 31 Dec 1897 on South Spring Street in Los Angeles, this 25-second clip from the Thomas Edison catalog shows "equipages … including a tally-ho and six white horses. A peculiar, open-end trolley car comes along." Notice the absence of L.A. Galaxy replica kit. (Library of Congress Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division)
Carson, California | The bridge metaphor has become prominent with the Los Angeles Galaxy's signing of David Beckham from Real Madrid. "David is truly the only individual that can build the bridge between soccer in America and the rest of the world," says Timothy Leiweke, president of Anschutz Entertainment Group, which owns the Galaxy.
Such brainless marketing patter deservedly sinks into the well of words that has accumulated about this player transfer of global insignificance. Were such a bridge required, Beckham, while a well-intentioned person and a fine soccer player, would not be the person to build it. Nor is Philip Anschutz building bridges by paving the driveway to Beckingham Palace West with gold. Leiweke calls boss Anschutz, who owns two other Major League Soccer clubs, Chicago Fire and Houston Dynamo, "a pretty good saint for the sport of soccer."
But whatever this statement means, achieving sainthood, by definition, requires more than "pretty-goodness."
For Beckham himself, cursed by association with a growing network of glad-handers, bridge-builders and Scientologists, one hopes that at some moment in the American sojourn he will be able to escape the protective bubble wrap. "Being a star means specializing in the seemingly lived," writes Guy Debord, a quote expanded upon by the sociologist deconstructor of all things Beckham, Ellis Cashmore, in monographs and essays on the iconography of Beckham as husband, father, breadwinner, "new man," "new lad," hero, consumer. Foundationally, Cashmore, with Andrew Parker, writes in a 2003 article of Beckham as a person existing through others' representation, almost the definition of celebrity:
With characteristic understatement, the Sun of London (Jan 12) casts Beckham in Galaxy gold.
[C]elebrityhood is a commodification of the human form, the epitome of economic fetishism. It is the process by which people are turned into "things," things to be adored, respected, worshipped, idolized, but perhaps more importantly, things which are themselves produced and consumed. ("One David Beckham? Celebrity, Masculinity, and the Soccerati," Sociology of Sport Journal 20, p. 215)
But back to the bridge business. It would be hard to conceive a more inappropriate metaphor for relating soccer in the United States to world football. Curiously, commentators abroad seem to have a better handle on American soccer culture as more of an "underground" obsession that has succeeded through grassroots enthusiasm—nurtured in part by a legion of expatriates making far less than $50 million per year—rather than through the splurging of delusionaries in suits, hoping to create a "soccer nation." (Grant Wahl's report on the mechanics of the Beckham deal shows how the arrangement has little to do with soccer, but more with building personal chemistries, marketing synergies and a "worldly brand." Our favorite quote from Galaxy GM Alexi Lalas: "When I think of the Galaxy I think of dark blue.") The North American Soccer League was significant more for helping to start organized youth and women's soccer than for showcasing global talent on Astroturf and in high-cut satin-sheen shorts, although the investment in talent was important.
In this case, Beckham is following a well-traveled course, not building a bridge himself. Given the large Latino population in South Los Angeles, the site of the first Spanish land grant in California, Simon Jenkins of the Guardian concludes that Beckham "will be preaching to the already converted" ("Even Beckham Can't Compete with the Fanatical Conservatism of Sport," Jan 19). Beckham's stated desire to reach out to youth through his soccer academies in Carson and Greenwich, England, similarly covers familiar ground. Nothing on the David Beckham Academy website suggests that the approach is especially innovative; there is no indication, for example, of special programs for the underprivileged or for Latinos often excluded from the financially straining elite club-and-academy cycle that creates the pipeline for top U.S. players.
A view toward the Bunny Dip restaurant in Carson, ca. 1967, a year before the town's incorporation as an entity separate from Los Angeles County. The city of Carson's own website describes the area at the time as a "landscape pockmarked with the dozens of refuse dumps, landfills, and auto dismantling plants which none of [Carson's] neighbors would have in their own cities." (larrywminor | Flickrâ"¢)
Rather than studying the Beckham transfer, one learns more about the contexts of American soccer by reading about the Dominguez Hills area that includes Carson, 16 miles south of Los Angeles proper. Chris Ayres makes the point in the Times of London that to many Hispanic residents in the area, who have the choice of supporting the Galaxy or Chivas USA, "football is already a mainstream sport in America" ("How an Ageing Galactico Can Be the Brightest Star in LA Galaxy's Firmament," Jan 13). With broadcasting giant Univision ubiquitous on terrestrial television and the Mexican national team and sides from Mexico's top division making frequent visits across the border, speaking of a fixed "big four" (gridiron football, baseball, basketball and NASCAR) in American sport seems outmoded.
The history of this 75,000-acre land grant, in fact, challenges simple narratives of American identity. The future of the land, ranging from the Los Angeles River in the east to the Pacific Ocean, was charted in the 18th century, granted in 1784 to Juan José Dominguez by King Carlos III of Spain. Dominguez had participated in the Gaspar de Portolí expedition some 15 years earlier, aimed at beating Russia to territorial claims in what then was known as Upper California, north of Baja California, still part of Mexico. The land has remained in the possession of Dominguez relations, although oversight of the territory has moved from Spanish to Mexican and ultimately to American control. Having dwindled over time to less than one-third its original size, the parcel still contains an original Dominguez homestead, preserved as the Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum. It holds status as California Historical Landmark Number 152.
During the 1968 referendum to gain city status and to name the new municipality, the name "Carson" prevailed over "Dominguez" by a mere 318 votes. Its population of some 90,000, according to the 2000 census, represents the "melting pot" of fantasy, with Hispanic/Latino residents, numbering 31,000, holding a plurality over the remainder, almost evenly divided among white, black and Asian groupings.
In Ayres's reading, Beckham's arrival in the LA region could tip a balance toward Hispanic cultural expressions such as fútbol. "Beckham will represent a completely different side of LA from Hollywood—a side unexplored by most of those who come to LA on summer holiday to visit Disneyland and Universal Studios." One would not expect Becks, even with his abilities in Spanish, to refer to the region by its original name, El Pueblo de Nuestra Seí±ora la Reina de los Angeles del Rio de Porciuncula, yet, Ayres writes, "[s]ome Americans fear that the Hispanics, particularly the Mexicans, will eventually want to claim the land back."
Were Beckham to build a bridge, one supposes, it would be best to build between these microcultures represented by the Los Angeles Times and La Opinión, the regional Spanish-language alternative. "To white Angelenos," Ayres continues, "Carson might as well be on a different planet to Sunset Strip and the fashionable nightspots of Hollywood and the Westside." It is a stretch to believe that Beckham could help unify in the way that the siting of California State University at Dominguez Hills helped smooth race relations following the Watts riots of 1965, but another bridge might help with the traffic.

Choosing a live streaming service provider (LSSP).
Interested in broadcasting live over the Internet? Think you'd like to use a service for this, rather than develop this capability in house? Well, you're in the right place; in this article, I'll describe the live streaming process and identify factors to consider when choosing a live streaming service provider (LSSP).
Briefly, LSSPs are the simplest and cheapest way to start live broadcasting because the service provider pays all of the infrastructure costs and provides all of the necessary system components, from live encoding tool to embedded player. As your audiences get larger and your broadcasts more frequent, you may want to cut over to your own live streaming server with a totally custom player, or investigate other, less integrated services from content delivery networks or other third-party service providers, but LSSPs are a great place to start.
I just spent a lot of time working with service providers Justin.tv, Ustream, Livestream, and European-based Bambuser, so I'll pull examples from these experiences to highlight key points in the discussion. Though the first three are among the largest LSSPs in the U.S., there are many other service providers out there, so use this discussion to identify the features important to you and to guide your evaluation, not to choose between the four service providers that I discuss.
As an overview, let's discuss the broadcast process. Your first consideration is where the broadcast will play, which can either be the page the LSSP creates for your broadcasts on its site, called the channel page, or on a player embedded into your own and/or other websites. We'll start by covering the types of features to consider when comparing the channel pages and embedded players offered by the various services.
Once you have the channel page and player set, it's time to broadcast. You accomplish this by connecting your camera (or a webcam) to your computer and running a program that encodes your audio/video stream and transmits it over the Internet to your service provider. From there, streaming servers hosted by the service provider distribute the video to your viewers, whether they're watching from the landing page or an embedded player.
Most service providers offer a browser-based encoder and/or traditional applications for encoding and transmitting your stream, or you can use third-party programs like Telestream Wirecast. Many service providers also allow you to broadcast from mobile devices; I'll cover features such as these during the second half of this article.

On Exhibit
When I worked at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, we curators agreed that if we could only save one painting in a fire, it would be Frederic Edwin Church's painting of Niagara Falls. Of course, Niagara is so big three people would be needed to carry it out the door. William Wilson Corcoran, who founded his Washington museum, paid more than $25,000 in 1870 for this over three-feet-high, seven- feet-wide painting.
Church was the leader of the Hudson River School of artists, who focused their attention on the beauty of the American landscape. With his brushwork, Church created a sensuous surface of remarkable color and light. The rainbow appears evanescent, as if might disappear at any moment. Gazing at the falls intently, we think we can actually hear the water rushing by. And the viewpoint is such that one might worry about the danger of falling in. The view of the falls is from the American side, and it was (and for some still is) considered one of the wonders of the North American continent. Americans were proud of the falls in the mid-19th century, and Europeans clamored to visit it. I guarantee that present-day citizens will be equally awestruck and reverential when Niagara goes on view at the Ringling Museum, Feb. 3 through March 29.—Mark Ormond

So. Interleague play with the Twins kicks off tonight in San Francisco. As National League people, I figure we could all use a few facts about our opponent for the coming three days. Here goes.
10. They play at Target Field. Don't get me wrong, I actually like Target. But Target Field? I can't like that.
9. Their slogan this year is "This Is Twins Territory". You know the point when alliterative becomes corny?
8. Their catcher (Joe Mauer, that is. You may have heard of him?) does commercials for Head and Shoulders Shampoo. I will love this guy forever. Too great.
7. They're named the Twins like the Twin Cities. À la "Boy meets girl… Romeo and Juliet… Sampson and Delilah… Minneapolis and St. Paul…" –Groucho Marx
6. Their General Manager is named Bill Smith. Search that on Wikipedia. Because of the number of people who come up, they're all subdivided into industries. It's something to see.
5. They are in second to last place in their division…
4. …but are 9-1 in their last 10…
3. …and on a 7 game winning streak
2. Then again, they last played the Padres and we all know how easy it is to beat San Diego. I mean, just look at the Giants record versus them last year! Okay, forget it. Don't.
1. Despite how scary the last few Facts About the Twins might seem, they are human. Very human. Make that 31-39 on the year. So, you know. Not too scary.
Diamond Girl
p.s. Speaking of totally great commercials? I know I'm a little late to the party, but the MLB Always Epic campaign is brilliance. Minus the strange Wilson one. But Fielder's ball flying over Mongolia and Ubaldo's overall adorableness? Perfection.

Quality fabric, very pretty up close/detailed stitching, few lose threads. Weight of comforter is light, perfect for summer weather in the Pacific Northwest. This set visually upgrades a room very nicely. Color is very neutral and goes with most any existing color d�cor. Tip; almost has an oriental feel to the patterning. I was impressed with the sheets! Average cost sheets (not any old cheapo tossed in to the set), soft, warm, stay generously sized through several drying cycles, come out slightly wrinkled but lay flat upon making up the bed. I bought separate (backup) sheets to switch out if necessary but haven't needed them! Nice surprise! Husband loves the weight of the sheet/comforter set (likes to sleeps cool) yet it�s still warm enough for me to be comfortable throughout the evening. Double benefit, keeps the cat off the bed because its a slippery, not soft, fabric. (Hubby loves this as well) I feel this set is worth the $$ paid and am pleased.
I was so excited to receive the Madison Park Sausalito 12 piece set. The pictures were exactly what I was looking for, and I had been looking at dozens of websites for weeks. I was dissapointed when I pulled it out of the bag. The comforter has more pink tones in it than the picture shows. It's also much more southwestern looking than I had anticipated. I've had the set for about 3 weeks now, and noticed that there are quite a few small threads coming out all over the comforter. I've been very gentle with the comforter and don't allow my dog on the bed, so I can't blame that on anything but poor quality. I definitely wanted to return this set as soon as I got it, but I was going on vacation the next day and honestly didn't want the hassle of Overstock's return policy. The set came with a note that the item was 'non-refundable' (really for a comforter??) I am a huge fan of Zappos so I was very very dissapointed to hear the return policy at Overstock is so terrible. This is no doubt my first and last purchase from Overstock. But my fiance LOVES the sheets it came with (I will say I was pleasantly surprised by how soft they are) so we decided to keep it. It was cheap enough that if we hate it in a year, we can throw it out and buy a new one. Overall a decent comforter but would not pay more for it. Just beware the pictures do not properly represent the color.
It's... mauve. Sorta. Def has a pink/purple undertone to it. Maybe mocha. At any rate, it's WAY darker than pictured. I haven't even taken it out of the box.. I'm just staring at it, trying to decide whether I really love it or really, REALLY hate it. I'm pretty sure I'll send it back. Not the look I was going for in a beach spa room.
Bedding is beautiful & stands out in our warm red bedroom. The little throw pillows are my favorite as they add a touch of class. The color is shiny which adds to the elegance & very durable. I was quite impressed when my very picky husband said it was better than our other dark brown comforter set, which he loved. Would highly recommend, just know that the colors are more shiny cream than whitish-gray like the pictures. Found a perfect set of curtains as walmart...better homes & garden brand. Matches perfectly for very little cash!!
The decorative pillows and the sheet set are about the only thing I'd recommend to anyone. The sheets are very soft and the decorative pillows are very nice to look at. Otherwise the comforter set and the sham covers are not anything like they look in the pictures, I'm very disappointed. The color is not even the same. I will be returning it as it matches nothing in my room like I thought it would.
I was expecting this comforter to be stiff and hard. NOT! It's soft and comfy! I had to buy pillows for the Euro Shams - I got 27x27 pillows at *** for 40% off and a 15% coupon so total cost was about $** each. They MAKE the bed so go get them!
Beautiful bedding set, & can't beat the price! It was a very good quality & wasn't sure what to expect with this being my first purchase from overstock, but glad I did.
LOVE the pattern and color. It's a beautiful piece and such a good price! Only issue I have is the fitted sheet does not fit very well. It is a little small d/t the depth of our mattress (foam).
I love all the pieces in this set. It looks really expensive and it is really nice quality. The sheets even feel very nice. Couldn't be happier with this purchase!
I ended up returning this product because it just didn't go as well with my decor as I expected; however, I was still pleased with the product itself. It looked just as it does on the website and the quality was good for the price.

Mission Statement
To engage students in meaningful, mutually beneficial service opportunities that simultaneously meet Whatcom's core learning abilities and community-defined needs.
WCC's Service-Learning Program provides opportunities for students to enhance their academic experience through service by applying their skills and knowledge to real-life situations while developing personal leadership skills, fostering a sense of civic responsibility, and enriching the lives of others.

WHY Get Involved?
WCC Students Reflect on Their Service-Learning Experience
What is Service-Learning?
Two Definitions:
Service-Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. - Learn and Serve America
Service-Learning incorporates community work into the curriculum, giving students real-world learning experiences that enhance their academic learning while providing a tangible benefit for the community. - Campus Compact National 2007
Service-Learning is more than simply volunteering; it is intentionally used to meet stated learning goals. Reflection is key to connect the service and the learning, and takes the experience a step beyond volunteerism.
7 students talk about their service-learning project in an IDS Sustainable Resources course spring 2012. The students worked with the City of Bellingham to replace a homeowner's lawn with native plants and mulch, while learning about the need for greater sustainability around Lake Whatcom.
WCC Students Talk About Service-Learning for Psychology
2 group interviews were conducted by WCC faculty, Laura Overstreet. Students talk about their service-learning experiences and offer advice for future students. These students were part of a Lifespan Psychology course in winter 2012. They volunteered with the local CHORE Program, helping elderly stay in their homes and providing them with companionship.

for students
"I would strongly advise future students to try this program. It is a great way to contribute to the community and helps out a lot of people who don't have access to fresh foods. I didn't know that Bellingham had a program like this that gave back to the community."
"I was able to take everything we learned in class and see it in a real-world scenario."
"Do it!"
"I would definitely do this over and over again. If you are hesitant, I really urge you to go out on a limb and try it out."
"I highly recommend it for anyone - it gives you an early look into the career you might want to pursue."
"Be open."
"If you're interested in learning more about yourself, this is a great opportunity to try out."
"The biggest piece of advice I would have for future students is - ASK QUESTIONS! It is a busy environment and it is easy to get distracted with the work and just getting to know people. The people are great and more than happy to help educate."
"I think it is important for all students to do some sort of service-learning."
"Ask not what SL can do for you but what you can do through service-learning. For that is where the real benefits are seen and remembered."

The priests and scribes question Christ's authority. (1-8) The parable of the vineyard and husbandmen. (9-19) Of giving tribute. (20-26) Concerning the resurrection. (27-38) The scribes silenced. (39-47)
Verses 1-8 Men often pretend to examine the evidences of revelation, and the truth of the gospel, when only seeking excuses for their own unbelief and disobedience. Christ answered these priests and scribes with a plain question about the baptism of John, which the common people could answer. They all knew it was from heaven, nothing in it had an earthly tendency. Those that bury the knowledge they have, are justly denied further knowledge. It was just with Christ to refuse to give account of his authority, to those who knew the baptism of John to be from heaven, yet would not believe in him, nor own their knowledge.
Verses 9-19 Christ spake this parable against those who resolved not to own his authority, though the evidence of it was so full. How many resemble the Jews who murdered the prophets and crucified Christ, in their enmity to God, and aversion to his service, desiring to live according to their lusts, without control! Let all who are favoured with God's word, look to it that they make proper use of their advantages. Awful will be the doom, both of those who reject the Son, and of those who profess to reverence Him, yet render not the fruits in due season. Though they could not but own that for such a sin, such a punishment was just, yet they could not bear to hear of it. It is the folly of sinners, that they persevere in sinful ways, though they dread the destruction at the end of those ways.
Verses 20-26 Those who are most crafty in their designs against Christ and his gospel, cannot hide them. He did not give a direct answer, but reproved them for offering to impose upon him; and they could not fasten upon any thing wherewith to stir up either the governor or the people against him. The wisdom which is from above, will direct all who teach the way of God truly, to avoid the snares laid for them by wicked men; and will teach our duty to God, to our rulers, and to all men, so clearly, that opposers will have no evil to say of us.
Verses 27-38 It is common for those who design to undermine any truth of God, to load it with difficulties. But we wrong ourselves, and wrong the truth of Christ, when we form our notions of the world of spirits by this world of sense. There are more worlds than one; a present visible world, and a future unseen world; and let every one compare this world and that world, and give the preference in his thoughts and cares to that which deserves them. Believers shall obtain the resurrection from the dead, that is the blessed resurrection. What shall be the happy state of the inhabitants of that world, we cannot express or conceive, ( 1 Corinthians. 2:9 ) are entirely taken up therewith; when there is perfection of holiness there will be no occasion for preservatives from sin. And when God called himself the God of these patriarchs, he meant that he was a God all-sufficient to them, ( Genesis 17:1 ) , their exceeding great Reward, ( Genesis 15:1 ) . He never did that for them in this world, which answered the full extent of his undertaking; therefore there must be another life, in which he will do that for them, which will completely fulfil the promise.
Verses 39-47 The scribes commended the reply Christ made to the Sadducees about the resurrection, but they were silenced by a question concerning the Messiah. Christ, as God, was David's Lord; but Christ, as man, was David's son. The scribes would receive the severest judgement for defrauding the poor widows, and for their abuse of religion, particularly of prayer, which they used as a pretence for carrying on worldly and wicked plans. Dissembled piety is double sin. Then let us beg of God to keep us from pride, ambition, covetousness, and every evil thing; and to teach us to seek that honour which comes from him alone.
Luke 20:1-19 . THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS QUESTIONED, AND HIS REPLY--PARABLE OF THE WICKED HUSBANDMEN.
2. these things--particularly the clearing of the temple.
4. baptism of John--his whole ministry and mission, of which baptism was the seal.
5. Why then believed ye him not?--that is, in his testimony to Jesus, the sum of his whole witness.
7. could not tell--crooked, cringing hypocrites! No wonder Jesus gave you no answer ( Matthew 7:6 ). But what dignity and composure does our Lord display as He turns their question upon themselves!
points are given, taken literally from Isaiah 5:2 , to fix down the application and sustain it by Old Testament authority.10. beat, &c.--( Matthew 21:35 ); that is, the prophets, extraordinary messengers raised up from time to time.
13. my beloved son--Mark ( Mark 12:6 ) still more affectingly, "Having yet therefore one son, his well-beloved"; our Lord thus severing Himself from all merely human messengers, and claiming Sonship in its loftiest sense. (Compare Hebrews 3:3-6 .)
it may be--"surely"; implying the almost unimaginable guilt of not doing so.
14. reasoned among themselves--(Compare Genesis 37:18-20 John 11:47-53 ).
the heir--sublime expression of the great truth, that God's inheritance was destined for, and in due time to come into the possession of, His Son in our nature ( Hebrews 1:2 ).
inheritance . . . ours--and so from mere servants we may become lords; the deep aim of the depraved heart, and literally "the root of all evil."
15. cast him out of the vineyard--(Compare Hebrews 13:11-13 , 1 Kings 21:13 , John 19:17 ).
16. He shall come, &c.--This answer was given by the Pharisees themselves ( Matthew 21:41 ), thus pronouncing their own righteous doom. Matthew alone ( Matthew 21:43 ) gives the naked application, that "the kingdom of God should be taken from them, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof"--the great evangelical community of the faithful, chiefly Gentiles.
God forbid--His whole meaning now bursting upon them.
17-19. written--(in Psalms 118:22 Psalms 118:23 . erection of which a certain stone, rejected as unsuitable by the spiritual builders, is, by the great Lord of the House, made the keystone of the whole. On that Stone the builders were now "falling" and being "broken" ( Isaiah 8:15 ), "sustaining great spiritual hurt; but soon that Stone should fall upon them and grind them to powder" ( Daniel 2:34 Daniel 2:35 , Zechariah 12:3 )--in their corporate capacity in the tremendous destruction of Jerusalem, but personally, as unbelievers, in a more awful sense still.
19. the same hour--hardly able to restrain their rage.
Luke 20:20-40 . ENTANGLING QUESTIONS ABOUT TRIBUTE AND THE RESURRECTION--THE REPLIES.
20-26. sent forth--after consulting ( Matthew 22:15 ) on the best plan.
spies--"of the Pharisees and Herodians" ( Mark 12:13 ). See Mark 3:6 .
21. we know, &c.--hoping by flattery to throw Him off His guard.
25. things which be Cæsar's--Putting it in this general form, it was impossible for sedition itself to dispute it, and yet it dissolved the snare.
and unto God--How much there is in this profound but to them startling addition to the maxim, and how incomparable is the whole for fulness, brevity, clearness, weight!
27-34. no resurrection--"nor angel nor spirit" ( Acts 23:8 ); the materialists of the day.
34. said unto them--In Matthew 22:29 , the reply begins with this important statement:--"Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures," regarding the future state, "nor the power of God," before which a thousand such difficulties vanish (also Mark 12:24 ).
36. neither . . . die any more--Marriage is ordained to perpetuate the human family; but as there will be no breaches by death in the future state, this ordinance will cease.
equal--or "like."
unto the angels--that is, in the immortality of their nature.
children of God--not in respect of character but nature; "being the children of the resurrection" to an undecaying existence ( Romans 8:21 Romans 8:23 ). And thus the children of their Father's immortality ( 1 Timothy 6:16 ).
37, 38. even Moses--whom they had just quoted to entangle Him.
38. not . . . of the dead, . . . for all, &c.--To God, no human being is dead, or ever will be; but all sustain an abiding conscious relation to Him. But the "all" here meant "those who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world." These sustain a gracious covenant relation to God, which cannot be dissolved. In this sense our Lord affirms that for Moses to call the Lord the "God" of His patriarchal servants if at that moment they had no existence, would be unworthy of Him. He "would be ashamed to be called their God, if He had not prepared for them a city" ( Hebrews 11:16 ). How precious are these glimpses of the resurrection state!
39. scribes . . . well said--enjoying His victory over the Sadducees.
they durst not--neither party, both for the time utterly foiled.
Luke 20:41-47 . CHRIST BAFFLES THE PHARISEES BY A QUESTION ABOUT DAVID AND MESSIAH, AND DENOUNCES THE SCRIBES.
41. said, &c.--"What think ye of Christ [the promised and expected Messiah]? Whose son is He [to be]? They say unto Him, The son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit [by the Holy Ghost, Mark 12:36 ] call Him Lord?" ( Matthew 22:42 Matthew 22:43 ). The difficulty can only be solved by the higher and lower--the divine and human natures of our Lord ( Matthew 1:23 ). Mark the testimony here given to the inspiration of the Old Testament (compare Luke 24:44 ).
47. devour, &c.--taking advantage of their helpless condition and confiding character, to obtain possession of their property, while by their "long prayers" they made them believe they were raised far above "filthy lucre." So much "the greater damnation" awaits them. What a lifelike description of the Romish clergy, the true successors of "the scribes!"

The great outdoors is messy. Don't let your time outside ruin the inside of your Dodge Ram Pickup - pick up SeatSavers. Custom-fit covers slip over your seats in seconds to protect them from dirt, UV rays and everyday wear. Machine washable and dryable.
The diagram above shows the shape of the seat covers included with this Covercraft SeatSaver set. Your Dodge Ram Pickup's seats should match the shape of the seats in the diagram.
SeatSavers protect your Dodge Ram Pickup seats without the inconveniences of typical seat covers. The SeatSavers are custom fit to your specific seats - so there's no sagging or rumpling - and they are constructed of durable, breathable fabric for lasting comfort.
SeatSavers slip on and off easily and protect your entire seat from dirt, children's messes, pets, harmful UV rays and everyday wear and tear. SeatSaver's custom-fit design also allows unrestricted access to adjustment knobs and seat belts.
Typical neoprene seat covers create a "sticky" effect in hot weather. But the SeatSaver seat protectors are made from a breathable, multifilament polyester fabric that won't stick to you on those hot summer days, even as the polyester construction ensures strong, durable covers.
The material is treated with a durable water repellency (DWR) finish that stops most spills from ever reaching your seats through the covers. And SeatSavers are easy to clean when those accidents happen. Just pop the SeatSavers into the washer, throw them into the dryer and slip them back onto the seats.

On Monday, after County Engineer Bob Eley's report to the Bolivar County Board of Supervisors, the board unanimously agreed to try and find additional avenues of funding in order to take a holistic approach to relieving the problem.
During the last board meeting Eley Engineering was authorized to survey the neighborhood.
"What we did was go out and survey the gutter line," said Josh McPherson with Eley Engineering.
He said that over time curbs would settle and shift due to any number of reason and therefore cause any water to not drain off correctly.
"The only way to find out where the problem areas are is to survey the line," he continued.
With the surveying complete the issue was once again brought before the board.
"In order to make the repairs to Eastgate subdivision that are necessary there is going to be a pretty fair amount of concrete work involved," Eley reported to the board. "We are going to have to dig up some curbs and we are going to have to dig up some driveways, partially, not the whole driveways. After that we are going to have to re-patch the driveways as well as portions in the streets."
Eley explained that basically what has happened there is that the curbs were off and then people came in and paved the streets to match the curbs so ultimately the streets are off now as well.
According to the engineer, regardless of what approach the board decides to make in the neighborhood, some maintenance work will be needed in the area on both the curbs and street overlays in the near future.
"Is this something that we need to look into getting a grant for," asked board Chairman Andrew Williams.
"Just to fix these trouble spots that are the main problems with the drainage, I don't know if a grant would be necessary," answered Eley. "However, it is a pretty extensive project."
Supervisor James McBride said that the county road department does not do the type of work that will be needed on this type of project and therefore, in his opinion, the county needs to secure a grant.
"One of my concerns here is that if we do the work that you have surveyed now, then two years down the road we are going to have to do the work on the other stuff," he said. "I would suggest that we take a holistic approach here. I think that we should do it all and do it right."
"I think that it makes sense to be holistic about the project," said Supervisor Donny Whitten. "The streets have a relationship to your curves and vice versa and to go in there and work on the curbs and patch the streets only to come in later and overlay the streets, we are going to be mismatched again. So, I think that Supervisor McBride has a better idea."
The board agreed to search for grants that would allow the county to make all the needed repairs simultaneously.
The Bolivar Commercial will have more on this project, as the information is made available.

Right opposite the northeastern corner of the Grand Palace complex finds the sacred Bangkok City Pillar Shrine. According to the ancient Siamese (Thai) belief, a city pillar needs to be installed upon the establishment of a new city to symbolize the stability of power. King Rama I of the current Chakri Dynasty erected the first city pillar on Sunday, April 21, 1782 at 6.54 am, when he moved the capital city across Chao Phraya River from Thonburi to Bangkok. The pillar was made of cassia wood (known as Chaiyapruek in Thai) gilded with gold leaves, measuring 29 cm in diameter and 187 inches in height. Inside the city pillar there's a space to store Bangkok's horoscope. The City Pillar Shrine then was the very first building King Rama I had built for Bangkok, prior to the Grand Palace.
During the reign of King Rama IV (King Mongkut), he demanded a raise of the new city pillar to replace the old one, which was dilapidated. The new city pillar was made of teak and cassia woods gilded with gold leaves, measuring 70 inches in diameter and 107 inches in height. Both pillars are now sheltered in prang-shaped shrine, which was built at the same time with the second city pillar, together with sacred images of five protective deities (Theparak): Phra Suea Muang, Phra Song Muang, Chao Por Hor Klong, Chao Por Chetakhupt and Phra Karn Chai Si. The City Pillar Shrine had been later renovated to maintain its condition for a few times; the latest time was in 1982 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Bangkok.

Bears QB Jay Cutler suffers neck injury, leaves game in 21-14 loss

MINNEAPOLIS -- A few weeks after sitting out with a concussion, quarterback Jay Cutler suffered a neck injury in the fourth quarter of the Bears' 21-14 loss against the Minnesota Vikings at the Metrodome on Sunday.
Cutler was injured when he was hit in the head by Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen. Cutler was being pulled to the ground when Griffen struck him directly in the head, bending his neck violently backward.
"Everything is stiff," Cutler said. "It started stiffening up more and more as the game progressed, getting some spasms on the left side. I just have to take it day by day."
Griffen was penalized for unnecessary roughness, but a holding penalty on Bears left tackle J'Marcus Webb negated it.
Cutler got up slowly and was looked at by Bears staff, but finished the Bears' drive, taking nine more snaps. He actually completed a 22-yard pass to receiver Brandon Marshall on the first play after the hit.
Cutler, though, was replaced by backup Jason Campbell on the Bears' next possession. Cutler finished 22-for-44 for 260 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions.
There were obvious concerns that Cutler may have suffered his second concussion of the season when he was struck by Griffen, who wrapped his arms around Cutler's helmet. But Cutler remained on the sideline for the remainder of the game.
"{Cutler] fought to the end," coach Lovie Smith said. "Of course, we'd like to have a couple of those throws back, but Jay's going to play like that always. We know what we're going to get from him. I thought protection was OK for the most part, but it could have been a little better."

Mississippi Highway Patrol received a call at 4:13 p.m. that there was a two-vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 61 at New Africa Road.
While the first vehicle, a school bus, driven by Freddie Green, 70, of Duncan, was traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 61, a Cadillac CTS driven by Kelaiah Tyler, 22, of Clarksdale, was attempting to cross U.S. Highway 61 from New Africa Road.
"She collided the front passenger side of her vehicle with the rear bumper area of the school bus," said Trooper Tony Dunn.
Tyler and her passenger Jasmine Cleark, 22, of Clarksdale were both transported by Pafford EMS to Northwest Mississippi Medical Center in Clarksdale with moderate injuries.
"Green and eight school aged children from North Bolivar School District were not injured.
"All involved were wearing their seat belts at the time of the accident," said Dunn.
The accident is still under investigation by The Mississippi Highway Patrol.

starsOld meets new as the SmartGPS system blends traditional GPS hardware with a smartphone...
TomTom GO Live 1535M
Garmin nüvi Essentials
Updated for 2010-2011, the TomTom Go series of GPS devices adds a few new features to its bag of tricks. On the hardware front, the new Go 2405 TM and 2505 TM feature, most prominently, a new glass capacitive touch screen, a metal chassis with a slick asymmetrical design, and a clever new car cradle design that makes attaching and removing the Go easier than ever. Under the navigator's new skin is a glossy new version of TomTom's software with tweaks to take advantage of the swipey, pinch-to-zoomy goodness made possible by the new touch screen. TomTom also fleshes out the feature set with Bluetooth hands-free calling, lifetime traffic and map updates, and voice command.
The TomTom Go series models are built around the standard touch screen on a suction cup form factor. The 2405 features a 4.3-inch display, whereas the 2505 has a 5-inch display. The Go's glass capacitive touch screen is quite glossy, which could pose a glare issue in certain situations, but the screen is bright enough to remain quite visible during the daytime hours.
At the top left corner of the unit is a stealthy power button that doubles as a charging status light. Around back is an attractive asymmetrical rear panel that hides the Go's loudspeaker behind a grille.
Finally, along the bottom edge of the Go chassis is a proprietary connection point for its 12-volt power cable. The power cable uses a 20-pin connection and locks into the Go's chassis with a pair of small magnets. The power cable features an inline receiver for the RDS-TMC FM traffic service and can lock into the base of the car cradle.
The car cradle itself features a suction cup that locks into place on a vehicle's windshield with a twisting knob. A ball joint at the base of the cradle's neck is the single point of articulation. A strong magnet embedded in the face of the cradle hold onto the Go's metal rear plate. This neat feature, combined with the locked-on magnetic power cable, makes it easy to place and remove the TomTom Go from the cradle with one hand when entering or exiting the vehicle.
The TomTom Go lacks an SD or microSD card slot, and the decision to go with the proprietary power cable meant that the GPS loses the Mini-USB port that has typically been the standard power and syncing connection point. Now, to connect to a PC for updating maps and software, users must use a proprietary USB adapter--which is fine, but it can be difficult to replace if misplaced.
Our review unit was delivered with a carrying case with a magnetic clasp. This optional case isn't included in the box, but it can be had for about $20 extra.
With the update to the Go series hardware comes also an update to the software that powers it. Now navigating the maps and menus is much snappier thanks in part to the more responsive touch screen, but also due to the new WebKit-based operating system.
The Go series' home screen is a variation of the interface we've seen on the newer XL and XXL models, with two large icons dominating the top two thirds of the screen for "Navigate to..." and "View map." These two icons lead to the TomTom's two destination selection methods. The former is menu and search based, while the latter is visual and map based.
The lower third is home to a collection of smaller icons for Plan route, Services, Settings, Help, and Done. Plan route is where users can save future and complex multistop trips. Services is where information about the traffic, safety camera, and map correction services can be found. Settings is home to the settings. Behind the Help icon are option for navigating to emergency services, relaying your current position, and an electronic product manual. Finally, Done returns the user to the live map.

The Business of Being Social through Social Media
The New Year is finally here and many of us are focused on being the best we can be in 2013, both personally and professionally. As such, my next few blogs will focus on some key things business owners, executives and 'worker bees' alike should consider doing to maximize their 'work power' over the next twelve months.
This blog discusses the importance of taking advantage of current social media networks to secure your long-term viability in our competitive marketplace and social communities. Let's face it, whether you like it or not, there is little doubt that social media in its various forms, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr and Instagram, just to name a few, will play a significant role in maximizing your 'work power' looking forward.
Many of us, me included, may want to rage against the machine of social media because we don't get it, don't have time for it or just don't want to succumb to the trends of the masses, but deep down we sense that we do so at the risk of missing out on major opportunities for growth and success.
Maggie Ness, cofounder/chief creative officer, Social Media Makers, a Chicago-based boutique firm that specializes in social media and digital content, regards swimming in the mainstream social media pool as mission-critical to maximizing your 'work power' in 2013. She says, "Building a positive personal brand via social networking sites is just as important as your reputation 'off-line.' Approaching your on-line profiles as a virtual resume helps create an interesting and exciting extension of you in today's digital world."
With so many different mediums to communicate and connect, Ms. Ness believes the keys to successfully navigating the vast and oversaturated social media landscape, be it for your business or personal brand, are "Start small, stay smart and have fun — within reason. Don't post anything you wouldn't e-mail your boss!" For businesses and professionals that want to be social media-savvy and viewed as thought leaders in their industry, Ms. Ness says the trend is to provide "Interesting and fresh content that's accurate. It's all about keeping your followers engaged, enlightened and entertained."
Of course, there are countervailing challenges and potential pitfalls to playing in the social media space. The most obvious risk for individuals is that you can rarely take back what you put out there, or more problematic (because you have less or no control), what others put out there about you. For businesses, several states including Illinois, Michigan and California have passed laws prohibiting employers from asking applicants and employees for their social media passwords, even in connection with an employer's investigation into on-line harassment and other improper internet activities. In my employment law practice area, I see a growing number of lawsuits and claims against businesses in Chicago and elsewhere asserting that firing or disciplining employees for ranting or making unflattering comments about the employer on social media outlets violates employees' rights to engage in activities that are protected under various laws.
In spite of the risks associated with social media, the bottom line however, according to Ms. Ness, is that social media is integral to leveraging better business and personal relationships. Simply put, if you're not logged in today, you're not part of tomorrow's conversation.

September is National Ovarian Cancer Month.
One afternoon, 52-year-old mother Krista Dlugolecki suddenly doubled over in pain. Her abdomen hurt so badly, she could hardly move. She called her son and they went to the emergency room.
Tests indicated that Ms. Dlugolecki had advanced-stage ovarian cancer; she had no idea she was even sick. "When she was diagnosed, they did a bunch of tests and had treatments set up, but she only lasted nine months," says her daughter, Jennifer Dlugolecki, Teal Lights committee chair for the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition Chicago chapter. "At the time, I'd never heard of ovarian cancer; breast cancer was really the only thing people knew about."
The survival rate for women with ovarian cancer hovers around 20-25 percent, making it one of the most deadly forms of cancer. While any cancer diagnosis is scary, ovarian cancer is particularly difficult because the symptoms are subtle, tests are imperfect and treatment options are limited.
"Symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating and some changes in bowel habit are many symptoms women think are just normal, initially, and it may take awhile before they and their physicians recognize they're serious symptoms," observes Diane Yamada, MD, chief of gynecologic oncology, University of Chicago. "Anything that's consistent, persistent and recent warrants a trip to the doctor."
Along with the difficulties of distinguishing symptoms, the disease is challenging for doctors because there's no perfect test to see if a woman has cancer or could be at risk. By the time most women see a doctor, the cancer has spread outside of the ovaries to other abdominal organs, making it difficult to treat.
"We're frustrated we don't have a more sensitive test to detect ovarian cancer," shares Julian Schink, MD, gynecologic oncologist, Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "And, it's really the holy grail of ovarian cancer. People spent the last 20 years searching for the test that tells us we can get the cancer while it's still confined to the ovary, but I wouldn't expect it anytime soon."
Over the past few decades there have been significant strides in understanding why the disease is so aggressive and which groups of women are most vulnerable. For many women diagnosed with endometriosis – a condition where cells from the uterus escape into the abdomen and cause inflammation, pain and, in some cases, infertility – there's a stronger link to developing ovarian cancer later. A study released earlier this year by Lancet Oncology showed endometriosis, in some cases, doubled and tripled the risk of developing certain forms of ovarian cancer.
There is the option to undergo genetic tests for a mutation on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which predispose women for ovarian and breast cancer. "If you have a first degree relative who has developed cancer, you might want to consider undergoing genetic testing," urges Dr. Yamada. "It allows you to identify family members who may have inherited genetic mutations so you can then undergo more aggressive screening strategies for breast cancer and consider surgery for ovarian cancer. Knowing and taking stock of your own personal cancer history and your family's cancer history is important."
For Jennifer Dlugolecki, ovarian cancer awareness hasn't become just a volunteer cause, but a lifestyle change. She's more in tune with her body and wonders if it would have made a difference if her mom had been tested sooner and been aware of symptoms. "My mom had ovarian cancer; her mom had breast cancer. Cancer is in the family on my mom's side, so I'm in the running," she says. "I have tests that are probably unnecessary, but I'd rather be aggressive and proactive instead of having to deal with this later. I get regular tests, stay current on knowledge about the disease and never blow off any pain or discomfort."
It's hard enough to slow down, listen to your body and take care of your health, but taking time for annual physicals, being open about changes or concerns with your body and knowing your family history can make a world of difference in an ovarian cancer diagnosis. "Women should listen to their bodies," advises Dr. Schink. "If they don't feel right, they need to see a doctor and say, 'I'm not feeling right.' And if they have ovarian cancer, they need to go to an expert center and request aggressive treatment."
Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer
Most common symptoms:
- Bloating
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Trouble eating or feeling full quickly
- Feeling the need to urinate urgently or often
Other symptoms can include:
- Fatigue
- Upset stomach or heartburn
- Back pain
- Constipation or menstrual changes
