text:
In the Old Testament the word miqdas [v'D.qim] (from qds, "holy, " implying a distinction between space that is "sacred" versus "profane") commonly refers to the worship "sanctuary" (e.g., Exod 25:8 ), where the Israelites offered their various kinds of offerings and sacrifices to the Lord under the supervision of the priesthood. As in English, however, where the word "sanctuary" can sometimes refer to a "refuge, " there are two instances where the Lord refers to himself metaphorically as the "sanctuary" (i.e., refuge) of faithful Israelites in distress ( Isa 8:14 ; Ezek 11:16 ). The more abstract term qodes ("holiness, sacredness") also many times refers concretely to a "holy place" (e.g., Exod 30:13 ).
In the New Testament hagios [a&gio"] (i.e., "holy [place]") means "sanctuary in nine instances, all in the Book of Hebrews. It also occurs three times as an adjective for the temple as the "holy place" of Israel ( Matt 24:15 ; Acts 6:13 ; 21:28 ). Other Old Testament and New Testament words may sometimes refer to or can even be translated "sanctuary" in some English versions, but none of them actually mean "sanctuary, " strictly speaking.
Although the Hebrew term miqdas [v'D.qim] can be used of sacred objects within a "sanctuary" ( Num 10:21 ), it most often refers to open air or housed sanctuaries as whole units, whether they be foreign "sanctuaries" ( Isa 16:12 ; Ezek 28:18 ), multiple Israelite sanctuaries (whether illegitimate, Lev 26:31 ; Ezek 21:2 ; Amos 7:9 Amos 7:13 , or legitimate, e.g., Joshua 24:26 ), the tabernacle complex (e.g., Exod 25:8 ), the Solomonic temple (e.g., 1 Chron 22:19 ; eg 1:1 28:10 ), the second temple ( Neh 10:39 ), or the future temple on Mount Zion (e.g., Ezekiel 37:26 Ezekiel 37:28 ; 44:9-16 ).
When referring to the tabernacle, miqdas [v'D.qim] commonly designates the entire worship complex ( Exod 25:8a ) as the special sanctified dwelling place of the Lord among his people, in the midst of which was the building known as the "tabernacle" ( 25:9 ) and over which they stretched a "tent" ( 26:7 ). It can refer to the multiple holy precincts within the tabernacle or temple complex (note the plural "sanctuaries" in Lev 21:23 ; Psalm 73:17 ; Jer 51:51 ), the "holy place" where incense was offered (only once, 2 Chron 26:18 ), and possibly to "the Most Holy Place" (only once, Lev 16:33a ).
Like miqdas [v'D.qim], when qodes [v, doq] is used of a "holy place" (as opposed to holy people or things) it sometimes refers overall to the entire worship complex (e.g., Exod 30:13 ; 36:1 ; Lev 10:4 ; 2 Chronicles 29:5 2 Chronicles 29:7 ; Psalm 74:3 ; Ezek 44:27 ). However, it is also used alone or in various combinations to distinguish between certain holy precincts within the sanctuary, specifically, the area of the court near the altar sometimes referred to as "the holy place" ( Lev 10:17-18 ), the outer "Holy Place" in the tabernacle or temple building itself (e.g., Exod 26:33 ; 1 Kings 8:10 ; 2 Chron 5:11 ; Ezek 42:14 ), and the inner "holy place" ( Lev 16:2 ; 4:6] ) which is the "Most Holy Place"), where the ark of the covenant was located. When these terms are used together in the same context, miqdas [v'D.qim] tends to signify the whole complex as a unit within which one would find the tent or house structure known as the qodes [v,doq] and all its various furnishings.
The Lord determined that he would dwell in a sanctuary in the midst of his "kingdom of priests, " his "holy nation" ( Exod 19:6 ; Psalm 68:32-35 ). They were to stand in awe and fear of this ( Lev 19:30 ) as when they "trembled" at the Lord's appearance on Mount Sinai ( Exod 19:16 ). This sanctuary was the primary place where the Lord manifested his presence in the midst of Israel ( Exod 40:34-38 ) and, therefore, became the preeminent place of worship ( Leviticus 9:6 Leviticus 9:22-24 ).
The Lord sanctified the sanctuary and with it an officiating "Aaronic priesthood" ( Exod 29:44 ; Lev 8:10 ; Num 7:1 ). To the latter he assigned the responsibility of maintaining the sanctity of the Lord's presence in the sanctuary ( Leviticus 10:10-11 Leviticus 10:17 ; Num 18:1 ; Deut 18:5 ) lest the people "die in their uncleanness for defiling my dwelling place, which is among them" ( Lev 15:31 ). However, because he was dealing with a sinful and unclean people who would inevitably defile the sanctuary, the Lord provided for its regular cleansing (see, e.g., the regular sin offering in Lev 4:1-5:13 ) as well as the annual cleansing and (re)sanctifying of the defiled sanctuary ( Lev 16:19 ). Nevertheless, he warned that he would completely abandon his sanctuary if his covenant people abandoned him ( 1 Kings 9:6-7 ; 2 Chron 7:20 ), a threat he eventually acted upon.
Of course, the New Testament writers were, by and large, fully familiar with the Jerusalem sanctuary complex, but it was the writer of Hebrews who developed the theology of the "sanctuary" motif. He began with the "heavenly sanctuary" ( 8:22 ) as the model or "pattern" ( 8:5 ) of which the "earthly" and "man-made sanctuary" ( Hebrews 9:1 Hebrews 9:24 ) was only a "copy" ( 9:23-24 ). In the Old Testament earthly sanctuary there was a tabernacle (tent) or building in which there was an outer room called "the Holy Place" separated by a veil from an inner room called "the Most Holy Place, " which only the high priest could enter and even he only once a year. Jesus entered the "holy of holies" of the "heavenly" sanctuary for us ( 9:25 ; cf. 8:1-5 ) when he sacrificed his own body as our High Priest once for all ( 9:24-25 ). By this means he, in fact, granted us direct access into the heavenly sanctuary and, indeed, the very presence of God ( 10:19 ; cf. 4:14-16 ).

1. Nature of Article:
The present article is designed to supplement the articles on ALTAR; HIGH PLACE; PENTATEUCH; TABERNACLE; TEMPLE, by giving an outline of certain rival views of the course of law and history as regards the place of worship. The subject has a special importance because it was made the turning-point of Wellhausen's discussion of the development of Israel's literature, history and religion. He himself writes:
"I differ from Graf chiefly in this, that I always go back to the centralization of the cult, and deduce from it the particular divergences. My whole position is contained in my first chapter" (Prolegomena, 368). For the purposes of this discussion it is necessary to use the symbols J, E, D, H, and the Priestly Code (P), which are explained in the article PENTATEUCH.
It is said that there are three distinct stages of law and history.
2. The Graf-Wellhausen Hypothesis:
The Three Stages:
(1) In the first stage all slaughter of domestic animals for food purposes was sacrificial, and every layman could sacrifice locally at an altar of earth or unhewn stones. The law of JE is contained in Exodus 20:24-26, providing for the making of an altar of earth or stones, and emphasis is laid on the words "in every place ("in all the place" is grammatically an equally possible rendering) where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee." This, it is claimed, permits a plurality of sanctuaries. Illustrations are provided by the history. The patriarchs move about the country freely and build altars at various places. Later sacrifices or altars are mentioned in connection with Jethro (Exodus 18:12), Moses (Exodus 17:15, etc.), Joshua (Joshua 8:30), Gideon (Judges 6:26 etc.), Manoah (Judges 13:19), Samuel (1 Samuel 7:17, etc.), Elijah (1 Kings 18:32), to take but a few instances. Perhaps the most instructive case is that of Saul after the battle of Michmash. Observing that the people were eating meat with blood, he caused a large stone to be rolled to him, and we are expressly told that this was the first altar that he built to the Lord (1 Samuel 14:35). While some of these examples might be accounted for by theophanies or other special circumstances, they are too numerous when taken together for such an explanation to suffice. In many instances they represent the conduct of the most authoritative and religious leaders of the age, e.g. Samuel, and it must be presumed that such men knew and acted upon the Law of their own day. Hence, the history and the Law of Exodus 20 are in unison in permitting a multiplicity of sanctuaries. Wellhausen adds:
"Altars as a rule are not built by the patriarchs according to their own private judgment wheresoever they please; on the contrary, a theophany calls attention to, or, at least afterward, confirms, the holiness of the place" (op. cit., 31).
(2) The second stage is presented by Deuteronomy in the Law and Josiah's reformation in the history. Undoubtedly, Deuteronomy 12 permits local non-sacrificial slaughter for the purposes of food, and enjoins the destruction of heathen places of worship, insisting with great vehemence on the central sanctuary. The narrative of Josiah's reformation in 2 Kings 23 tallies with these principles.
(3) The third great body of law (the Priestly Code, P) does not deal with the question (save in one passage, Leviticus 17). In Deuteronomy "the unity of the cult is commanded; in the Priestly Code it is presupposed. .... What follows from this forms the question before us. To my thinking, this:
that the Priestly Code rests upon the result which is only the aim of Deuteronomy" (Prolegomena, 35). Accordingly, it is later than the latter book and dates from about the time of Ezra. As to Leviticus 17:1-9, this belongs to H (the Law of Holiness, Leviticus 17:1-26:46), an older collection of laws than the Priestly Code (P), and is taken up in the latter. Its intention was "to secure the exclusive legitimation of the one lawful place of sacrifice. .... Plainly the common man did not quite understand the newly drawn and previously quite unknown distinction between the religious and the profane act" (Prolegomena, 50). Accordingly, this legislator strove to meet the difficulty by the new enactment.
See CRITICISM (The Graf-Wellhausen Hypothesis).
3. Difficulties of the Theory:
(1) Slaughter Not Necessarily Sacrificial
The general substratum afforded by the documentary theory falls within the scope of the article PENTATEUCH. The present discussion is limited to the legal and historical outline traced above. The view that all slaughter of domestic animals was sacrificial till the time of Josiah is rebutted by the evidence of the early books. The following examples should be noted:
in Genesis 18:7 a calf is slain without any trace of a sacrifice, and in 27:9-14 (Jacob's substitute for venison) no altar or religious rite can fairly be postulated. In 1 Samuel 28:24 the slaughter is performed by a woman, so that here again sacrifice is out of the question. If Gideon performed a sacrifice when he "made ready a kid" (Judges 6:19) or when he killed an animal for the broth of which the narrative speaks, the animals in question must have been sacrificed twice over, once when they were killed and again when the food was consumed by flames. Special importance attaches to Exodus 22:1 (Hebrew 21:37), for there the JE legislation itself speaks of slaughter by cattle thieves as a natural and probable occurrence, and it can surely not have regarded this as a sacrificial act. Other instances are to be found in Genesis 43:16; 1 Samuel 25:11; 1 Kings 19:21. In 1 Samuel 8:13 the word translated "cooks" means literally, "women slaughterers." All these instances are prior to the date assigned to Deuteronomy. With respect to Leviticus 17:1-7 also, theory is unworkable. At any time in King Josiah's reign or after, it would have been utterly impossible to limit all slaughter of animals for the whole race wherever resident to one single spot. This part of theory therefore breaks down.
(2) Sacrifice and Theophany
The view that the altars were erected at places that were peculiarly holy, or at any rate were subsequently sanctified by a theophany, is also untenable. In the Patriarchal age we may refer to Genesis 4:26, where the calling on God implies sacrifice but not theophanies, Abram at Beth-el (12:8) and Mamre (13:18), and Jacob's sacrifices (31:54; 33:20). Compare later Samuel's altar at Ramah, Adonijah's sacrifice at En-rogel (1 Kings 1), Naaman's earth (2 Kings 5), David's clan's sacrifice (1 Samuel 20:6,29). It is impossible to postulate theophanies for the sacrifices of every clan in the country, and it becomes necessary to translate Exodus 20:24 "in all the place" (see supra 2, (1)) and to understand "the place" as the territory of Israel.
(3) Alleged Plurality of Sanctuaries
The hypothesis of a multiplicity of sanctuaries in JE and the history also leaves out of view many most important facts. The truth is that the word "sanctuary" is ambiguous and misleading. A plurality of altars of earth or stone is not a plurality of sanctuaries. The early legislation knows a "house of Yahweh" in addition to the primitive altars (Exodus 23:19; 34:26; compare the parts of Joshua 9:23,27 assigned to J). No eyewitness could mistake a house for an altar, or vice versa.
(4) The Altar of God's House
Moreover a curious little bit of evidence shows that the "house" had quite a different kind of altar. In 1 Kings 1:50; 2:28, we hear of the horns of the altar (compare Amos 3:14). Neither earth nor unhewn stones (as required by the Law of Exodus 20) could provide such horns, and the historical instances of the altars of the patriarchs, religious leaders, etc., to which reference has been made, show that they had no horns. Accordingly, we are thrown back on the description of the great altar of burnt offering in Exodus 27 and must assume that an altar of this type was to be found before the ark before Solomon built his Temple. Thus the altar of the House of God was quite different from the customary lay altar, and when we read of "mine altar" as a refuge in Exodus 21:14, we must refer it to the former, as is shown by the passages just cited. In addition to the early legislation and the historical passages cited as recognizing a House of God with a horned altar, we see such a house in Shiloh where Eli and his sons of the house of Aaron (1 Samuel 2:27) ministered. Thus the data of both JE and the history show us a House of God with a horned altar side by side with the multiplicity of stone or earthen altars, but give us no hint of a plurality of legitimate houses or shrines or sanctuaries.
(5) Local Altars in Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy also recognizes a number of local altars in 16:21 (see ICC, at the place) and so does Later Deuteronomistic editors in Joshua 8:30. There is no place for any of these passages ia the Wellhausen theory; but again we find one house side by side with many lay altars.
4. The Alternative View:
(1) Lay Sacrifice
The alternative view seeks to account for the whole of the facts noted above. In bald outline it is as follows:
In pre-Mosaic times customary sacrifices had been freely offered by laymen at altars of earth or stone which were not "sanctuaries," but places that could be used for the nonce and then abandoned. Slaughter, as shown by the instances cited, was not necessarily sacrificial. Moses did not forbid or discourage the custom he found. On the contrary, he regulated it in Exodus 20:24-26; Deuteronomy 16:21 f to prevent possible abuses. But he also superimposed two other kinds of sacrifice--certain new offerings to be brought by individuals to the religious capital and the national offerings of Numbers 28; 29 and other passages. If the Priestly Code (P) assumes the religious capital as axiomatic, the reason is that this portion of the Law consists of teaching entrusted to the priests, embracing the procedure to be followed in these two classes of offerings, and does not refer at all to the procedure at customary lay sacrifices, which was regulated by immemorial custom. Deuteronomy thunders not against the lay altars--which are never even mentioned in this connection--but against the Canaanite high places. Deuteronomy 12 contemplates only the new individual offerings. The permission of lay slaughter for food was due to the fact that the infidelity of the Israelites in the wilderness (Leviticus 17:5-7) had led to the universal prohibition of lay slaughter for the period of the wanderings only, though it appears to be continued by De for those who lived near the House of God (see Deuteronomy 12:21, limited to the case "if the place .... be too far from thee").
(2) Three Pilgrimage Festivals.
The JE legislation itself recognizes the three pilgrimage festivals of the House of God (Exodus 34:22). One of these festivals is called "the feast of weeks, even of the bikkurim (a kind of first-fruits) of wheat harvest," and as Exodus 23:19 and 34:26 require these bikkurim to be brought to the House of God and not to a lay altar, it follows that the pilgrimages are as firmly established here as in Deuteronomy. Thus we find a House (with a horned altar) served by priests and lay altars of earth or stone side by side in law and history till the exile swept them all away, and by breaking the continuity of tradition and practice paved the way for a new and artificial interpretation of the Law that was far removed from the intent of the lawgiver.
5. The Elephantine Papyri:
The Elephantine Temple.
Papyri have recently been found at Elephantine which show us a Jewish community in Egypt which in 405 BC possessed a local temple. On the Wellhausen hypothesis it is usual to assume that the Priestly Code (P) and Deuteronomy were still unknown and not recognized as authoritative in this community at that date, although the Deuteronomic law of the central sanctuary goes back at least to 621. It is difficult to understand how a law that had been recognized as divine by Jeremiah and others could still have been unknown or destitute of authority. On the alternative view this phenomenon will have been the result of an interpretation of the Law to suit the needs of an age some 800 years subsequent to the death of Moses in circumstances he never contemplated. The Pentateuch apparently permits sacrifice only in the land of Israel:
in the altered circumstances the choice lay between interpreting the Law in this way or abandoning public worship altogether; for the synagogue with its non-sacrificial form of public worship had not yet been invented. All old legislations have to be construed in this way to meet changing circumstances, and this example contains nothing exceptional or surprising.

Posted byon January 30, 2012 at 8:34 AM ESTHighlights from the State of the Union:
- "We will stand against violence and intimidation. We will stand for the rights and dignity of all human beings –- men and women; Christians, Muslims and Jews. "
On Health Care:
- "I will not go back to the days when health insurance companies had unchecked power to cancel your policy, deny your coverage, or charge women differently than men…..For less than 1 percent of what our nation spends on education each year, we've convinced nearly every state in the country to raise their standards for teaching and learning -- the first time that's happened in a generation.
On Clean Energy:
- "I'm directing my administration to allow the development of clean energy on enough public land to power 3 million homes. And I'm proud to announce that the Department of Defense, working with us, the world's largest consumer of energy, will make one of the largest commitments to clean energy in history -– with the Navy purchasing enough capacity to power a quarter of a million homes a year."
On Mortgages:
- "And that's why I'm sending this Congress a plan that gives every responsible homeowner the chance to save about $3,000 a year on their mortgage, by refinancing at historically low rates."
On the Economy:
- "Millions of Americans who work hard and play by the rules every day deserve a government and a financial system that do the same. It's time to apply the same rules from top to bottom. No bailouts, no handouts, and no copouts. An America built to last insists on responsibility from everybody."
- "Right now, our most immediate priority is stopping a tax hike on 160 million working Americans while the recovery is still fragile. People cannot afford losing $40 out of each paycheck this year. There are plenty of ways to get this done. So let's agree right here, right now: No side issues. No drama. Pass the payroll tax cut without delay. Let's get it done."
On Iran:
- "And we will safeguard America's own security against those who threaten our citizens, our friends, and our interests. Look at Iran. Through the power of our diplomacy, a world that was once divided about how to deal with Iran's nuclear program now stands as one. The regime is more isolated than ever before; its leaders are faced with crippling sanctions, and as long as they shirk their responsibilities, this pressure will not relent. Let there be no doubt: America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal."
On Cooperation with Israel:
- "Our ironclad commitment -- and I mean ironclad -- to Israel's security has meant the closest military cooperation between our two countries in history."

Posted byon January 5, 2012 at 12:38 PM ESTSaturday, President Obama signed into law H.R. 1540, the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012." This bill includes provisions related to Iran, specifically sanctions on foreign financial institutions that do business with the Central Bank of Iran (CBI), including for oil transactions.
The United States has already had sanctions on CBI and Iran's oil industry for decades -- so to make this legislation effective, the Obama Administration worked closely with Congress to shape the Iran provisions so that this new tool would increase the likelihood that other countries would stop doing business with CBI and Iran's oil sector. This is important because the most effective approach is one that involves multilateral participation and is timed and phased to avoid negative repercussions to international oil markets and instead focus pressure on Iran.
For three years, President Obama has led an unprecedented effort to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Through a two-track policy -- one track increasing the pressure on Iran to induce it live up to its responsibilities in the international community and the other track offering a very credible option for engagement, provided Iran accepts its responsibilities to the international community -- the United States has built a strong international coalition against Iran's nuclear weapons aspirations. As a result, Iran now faces the toughest sanctions regime in the world and is more isolated diplomatically, both regionally and globally.
Hanukkah at the White House: History of the 2011 Menorah
Posted byon December 26, 2011 at 9:02 AM ESTLearn the history behind the White House menorah. Watch the video here.
A very special menorah was the centerpiece of this year's Hanukkah celebration at the White House. It was created in a displaced persons' camp after World War II and is dedicated to General Joseph T. McNarney, who served as the Commander in Chief of United States Forces in the European theatre from November 1945 to March 1947.
The Hebrew inscription on the lamp, "A great miracle happened there," is found on the dreidls (or tops) that children play with on Hanukkah and refers to the miracle of Hanukkah, but may in this instance also poignantly signify the liberation and salvation of the Jews in the displaced persons' camp.
Watch how the White House "kosherized" the kitchen before the Hanukkah celebration

Every year Durango holds a themed, community-based event called Snowdown. The theme for this year's five-day, annual Snowdown event is Steampunk. Many are left scratching their head about this year's theme, not many people seem to know much about the subgenre of Steampunk.
What is Steampunk?
Steampunk contains the image of the Wild West gunslinger, Victorian era mechanics and a Victorian idea of the future, Nikki Morrissey, owner of Durango Antique Market, said.
The theme for each Snowdown is decided by the board of directors after taking in
suggestions from the Durango community, said Chip Lile, a board member and the event coordinator of Snowdown.
"We try to choose a theme that is creative and fun for the community," Lile said.
Origination of Steampunk
The TV show, "The Wild Wild West", popularized the combination the historical American West and the futuristic technology, Susan Cardin, Durango Antique Market patron, said.
"The Wild Wild West" was a TV show in the 1960's that followed the adventures of two, 19th century secret Service agents, who were in possession of advanced technology, she said.
The show was redone as a movie and the film version is what solidified the mechanical steam-powered understanding of Steampunk, Cardin said.
Durango already has an affiliation with the Steampunk culture because of its location and history. It is in the western part of the United States where gunslingers and train robberies are commonly associated.
The steam-powered train is an aspect of Durango that highlights the Wild West era. That's one reason why our town is so perfect for this Steampunk theme, Morrissey said.
Steampunk Costumes
This year's theme has a wide variety of interpretations, Morrissey said.
Common steampunk accessories are brass goggles, top hats, corsets, vests, gears, and keys she said. People can put them together to create their unique costumes.
"Steampunk requires more effort and thinking when it comes to planning costumes, and I expect people to be engaged with the theme," Lile said.
If people enjoy the theme and have fun with it, there will be a lot of interesting costumes out there, Lile said.

M.O.E. Newspaper Article
August 2014
Submitted by Debra Bernhardt, Assistant Principal, Mt. Orab Elementary
Welcome to School! Everyone here at Mt. Orab Elementary is very excited to begin a new school year. You may wonder what happens around the school over the summer break. Here is just a sample of the hard work that prepares the building for the new school year.
Our dedicated office staff has spent many hours over the summer making sure that the necessary materials are ready to go on that very first day of school. We have also enrolled many new students to our M.O.E. family!
Our hardworking custodians have transformed our building and made it a clean and safe place for students to learn and play. I think you will agree that they did a tremendous job – the building looks great!
Our friendly food service staff has made the necessary preparations to be ready to serve breakfast and lunch to our students. They are always ready with a smile for our students!
Our caring school nurse has been busy preparing the clinic and sharing student and staff health and wellness plans.
Our talented teachers, aides, and staff have also spent many hours over the summer preparing for your children. Our classrooms are inviting places for children to learn and grow due to the planning and collaboration among our staff.
As you can see, Mt. Orab Elementary is a busy place, even in the summertime as we await the arrival of our students!
I am very excited about the opportunities and adventures that students will experience this school year. I want to thank everyone at school and at home for the positive efforts that are being made to help each child be successful everyday!
It is always a special privilege to recognize those who not only excel in their profession, but go above and beyond the call of duty. This year's Teacher of the Year exemplifies many, if not all the traits that are commendable in an educator. She works tirelessly for the betterment of her pupils. It is an old cliche, but she does truly go the extra mile. Parents and students have repeatedly over the years given their positive feedback and glowing comments about her. She's hard working, caring, insightful, passionate, patient, loving, amazing, and always makes learning fun. It is our pleasure to introduce Mrs. Tina Kidd as the 2013-2014 PTO Teacher of the Year at Mt Orab Elementary School.

FOXBORO — You don't often see an ounce of emotion exuded from Bill Belichick.
A smile is rare. A short answer to a question is not. But Tuesday was different for Belichick — for everyone, really.
The day started as your typical cut-down day, as teams trim their rosters from 90 to 75 players. Around 12:30 p.m., Belichick met with the media and briefly explained what a time like this feels like.
"It's a stressful time for players as we come into the final cuts, and it's a stressful time for coaches," Belichick said. "It's that way every year. It's no surprise. But it's a challenging time for everybody on the football team."
He wasn't lying.
As Belichick left the media room inside Gillette Stadium he walked outside to the team's practice field where he told his players that the Patriots had traded one of their captains, Logan Mankins.
Around 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday the news broke that the team had dealt its All-Pro left guard to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for tight end Tim Wright and a 2015 fourth-round draft pick. After the Patriots released three veteran players — Tommy Kelly, Will Smith and James Anderson — on Sunday, many thought the surprises were over.
They weren't.
The trade sent shockwaves throughout the team's locker room. The news elicited emotions from everyone from defensive players to those closest to Mankins on the offensive line.
"It [stinks]. He was a captain, kind of that toughness that we had on the offensive line," linebacker Dont'a Hightower said.
"I can't say enough good things about him, him and his family," left tackle Nate Solder said. "He's got great morals, great ethics, great work ethic. Tremendous guy. He's going to be great wherever he goes. For the Patriots, we move on, as sad as that is."
The 32-year-old is a six-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro. He's long been the leader of the Patriots' offensive line. But the news didn't strike a chord with only the players. When the team announced the trade, the release came with a sentimental quote from Belichick.
"Logan Mankins is everything we would ever want in a football player," Belichick said. "It is hard to imagine a better player at his position, a tougher competitor or a person to represent our program. He is one of the all-time great Patriots and the best guard I ever coached. Logan brought a quiet but unmistakable presence and leadership that will be impossible to duplicate.
"Unfortunately, this is the time of year when difficult decisions have to be made — and this is one of the most difficult we will ever make — but like every other decision it was made for what we feel is in the best interests of the team."
Mankins was entering his 10th season with the Patriots and has cemented his legacy as one of the best offensive linemen in franchise history.
The guard has started all 130 regular-season and 17 postseason games he's played since getting drafted in the first round (32nd overall) in the 2005 NFL Draft. Last season, Mankins played in every game while earning Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors.
Mankins was the first Patriots guard to start every game as a rookie since John Hannah did it in 1973. He also joins Hannah as the only two Patriots guards to earn All-Pro honors since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. He was also a three-time captain (2011, 2012, 2013) and set an example for everyone in that locker room.
"He's definitely a great leader and we're going to miss him," said second-year offensive lineman Chris Barker. "He's an awesome person in the locker room to have around and Tampa Bay is going to get a great guy to have."
In New England, Mankins epitomized toughness.
In 2011, he suffered a torn ACL in Week One against Miami and proceeded to start the next 15 regular-season and all three playoff games as the Patriots reached Super Bowl XLIV before eventually losing to the New York Giants. Not only did people not realize the guard was injured, he earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors that season.
"Every play, every down, he just is excited, loves playing, very physical, very tough," Solder said. "That's just who he was."
Mankins' story with the Patriots did have its complications. And when it comes down to it, the move is all about money. Mankins was set to cost $10.5 million against the salary cap in 2014, the second-highest number on the Patriots after Tom Brady's. His cap hit would have been $11 million in 2015 and $7 million in 2016. Wright has a total cap figure of $495,000 this season.
The Pats are still on the hook for $4.25 million this season (the total of his signing and workout bonus) but will save $5.755 million by trading Mankins. The trade puts the team about $13 million under the cap.
Next season, the team will save about $7 million with Mankins gone, and he will no longer count against the cap for the Patriots in 2016.
Money has been a common point of dispute between the Patriots and their former guard. In 2010, Mankins, who had been a restricted free agent, sat out the first six weeks of the season after the team did not offer him a long-term contract. The following offseason, he signed a six-year, $51-million extension with the team.
Throughout it all, nothing — money or injuries — seemed to affect Mankins play on the field or his relationship with his teammates. What will stick with Solder is how genuine of a person Mankins was with everyone.
That's also what will stick with Julian Edelman. The wide receiver spent multiple Thanksgiving dinners at the Mankins household over the years. He said he was the type of guy you never had a problem talking to, calling him "an unbelievable teammate and captain."
"Logan was a great teammate. Great leader," Edelman said. "I have nothing but respect for him, his family. He's been very helpful for me and my career. It's just coach having to do what he has to do. … It's tough. You have to move on."
There will be a time when Mankins is wearing a new red jacket symbolizing his entrance into the Patriots Hall of Fame. He may even get consideration to go to Canton. But there's more to this man from Mariposa, Calif., than accolades. There was more to Mankins than his cap number.
As he leaves Foxboro, the team will move on, but he'll leave a lasting impression among his teammates.
"He's meant so much to this team through the years," Matthew Slater said. "He's done so much for the team, he's done a lot for me personally in my career — him and his family both. It's never an easy thing. We just try to move forward from here as best we can."

Coroner: Warrant Singer Died of Alcohol Poisoning
October 5, 2011 - 6:35 PM
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles County coroner's office has determined that Jani Lane, the former lead vocalist and songwriter for the 1980s glam metal band Warrant, died of alcohol poisoning.
Lane, 47, was found dead in August in a motel in Woodland Hills, on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
City News Service reported Wednesday that coroner's Lt. Larry Dietz said the cause of death was acute ethanol intoxication.
Lane, born John Kennedy Oswald in Akron, Ohio, left Warrant in 2008. He was later arrested twice for driving under the influence and served time in jail.

NYU Langone Medical Center has a heritage of greatness that we are reinventing every day. We take deep pride in all that our exceptional faculty and staff have achieved for the benefit of our patients, our students, our community, and the world.
They prove – every day – that excellence is its own specialty: ours. In our quest for uncompromising excellence, NYU Langone and our faculty and staff have received several distinguished awards, including:
U.S. News & World Report "Best Hospitals" 2014-2015
NYU Langone Medical Center is #15 in the nation on U.S. News & World Report's "Best Hospitals 2014 – 15 Honor Roll," with 13 nationally ranked specialties, including top 10 rankings in Orthopaedics, Rheumatology, Rehabilitation, Neurology & Neurosurgery, and Geriatrics. Additional nationally ranked specialties are: Cardiology & Heart Surgery, Urology, Diabetes & Endocrinology, Ear, Nose & Throat, Gastroenterology, Cancer, Nephrology and Pulmonology. Gynecology was also ranked as a "high-performing" specialty.
NYU Langone is the only hospital in New York to receive top 10 rankings for all three musculoskeletal specialty areas of orthopaedics, rheumatology and rehabilitation. Additionally, NYU Langone's Rusk Rehabilitation was again ranked the best in New York State and among the top 10 in the country, an honor held for 25 years since U.S. News & World Report first introduced its annual "Best Hospitals" rankings in 1989.
For the third year in a row, NYU Langone ranked #2 in New York State and #2 in the New York metro area for being a high performing hospital.
U.S. News & World Report "Best Graduate Schools" 2015
NYU School of Medicine ranked #19 out of 129 medical schools for research on the 2015 U.S. News & World Report's "Best Graduate Schools" rankings. Up from #34 in 2007, the rise over the past seven years represents one of the fastest increases in national ranking among major universities in the history of the survey. In addition, the School saw an improvement in its reputational score among the nation's residency program directors, which also contributed to the result. The analysis includes assessments by deans and residency directors, research funding, and the grade-point averages and MCAT scores for incoming students.
UHC Quality and Accountability Study
For the second year in a row, NYU Langone ranked number one for overall patient safety and quality among 104 leading academic medical centers across the nation that were included in the University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) 2014 Quality and Accountability Study. In addition, NYU Langone received the UHC Quality Leadership Award for demonstrated excellence in the delivery of high-quality care, achieved five stars for its overall performance, and ranked number one in equity and mortality.
Castle Connolly "America's Top Doctors"
In 2014, Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. recognized 120 physicians at NYU Langone Medical Center as among the top 1 percent of medical experts in the nation in the 13th edition of "America's Top Doctors."

Recognized by The Joint Commission
In 2013, NYU Langone again received the Gold Seal of Approval by The Joint Commission, reflecting our commitment to high-quality care.

A team of Joint Commission expert surveyors evaluated NYU Langone for compliance with standards of care specific to the needs of patients, including infection prevention and control, leadership, and medication management.

The Joint Commission is the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.
Magnet Recognition
All of NYU Langone's hospitals are designated Magnet® sites for quality patient care, nursing excellence, and innovations in professional nursing practice, including Tisch Hospital, Rusk Rehabilitation, and the Hospital for Joint Diseases.
The Magnet® Recognition Program, the leading source of successful nursing practices and strategies worldwide, is an honor achieved by fewer than 7 percent of all hospitals in the United States. Additionally, NYU Langone is one of four hospitals in New York State, and less than 2 percent of hospitals nationwide to receive this recognition at least three times consecutively.
Commission of Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities
NYU Langone's Rusk Rehabilitation inpatient programs were re-accredited by the Commission of Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) through September 2016 for the maximum three years: Adult Inpatient Rehabilitation Programs, Pediatric Specialty Inpatient Rehabilitation Programs, Adult Brain Injury Inpatient Rehabilitation Programs, and Adult Stroke Specialty Inpatient Rehabilitation Programs. Additionally, Rusk was recognized by CARF, an international accrediting body focused on helping organizations measure and improve the quality of their inpatient rehabilitation programs and services, for its exemplary conformance to standards during recent hurricanes and evacuations.
Becker's Hospital Review
In 2014, Becker's Hospital Review recognized NYU Langone on its "100 Great Hospitals in America" and "20 Great Hospitals to Know in the Northeast" listings. Becker's also named NYU Langone an outstanding hospital for women's health programs on its "100 Hospitals with Great Women's Health Programs" 2012 listing. NYU Langone is also included on Becker's "101 Hospitals with Great Orthopedic Programs" and "101 Hospitals with Great Spine and Neurosurgery Programs" 2012 listings. We ranked in the top 1 percent of all orthopaedic programs in the country, according to Becker's Hospital Review "60 Hospitals with Great Orthopedic Programs" 2011 listing.

I have an 09 tacoma double cab. My spare tire does not have a metal valve stem like the rims on the truck. Does the spare not have a TPS thing in it then?
I had removed my spare tire at least a couple weeks ago. Was running the stock tires, bfg rt's @ 34psi(analog psi gauge, very accurate). Never had an issue with my TPS light coming on with the spare tire located in the basement.
Got new tires put on a couple days ago, and my light came on after leaving discount tire. Got home, and one tire was like 30 psi, the others were all about 34. I now have 35psi in each tire, and can't get the light to go off????

Get Katy Ashworth from I can Cook off Childrens Television!
Katy is not a professional cook herself, but was chosen to front the show because of her presenting skills and apparent enthusiastic personality "I am not a professional cook, but I really do love cooking, I get a real kick out of holding dinner parties. My mum was a chef and I did do catering at GCSE level, but I am definitely not a chef. The recipes are created by two wonderful women [Kate Morris and Sally Brown] who run a childrens cookery school." So pray tell why is this talentless cow allowed to patronise the nations children, when she lacks basic appeal and the ability to play the guitar and sing!! What is that teaching our children??

The only human being who can see so far into the optical spectrum that he is able to perceive the "eighth color" is Bart Steele, recent Space Academy graduate. In The Colors of Space by the popular author from science fiction's golden age, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Bart is given a mission: disguise himself as a Lhari, an alien life form that has mastered interstellar travel. Bart must go undercover to find the secret to the Lhari's success.
Performed by Jim Roberts in a masculine, easygoing style that one might expect of a young adult fantasy from the early 1960s, The Colors of Space is a fun whimsy and precursor to Bradley's more mature efforts in her Darkover series.
Marion Zimmer Bradley was a popular author of fantasy science fiction from the 1950's to the late 1990's. In 2000, she was posthumously awarded the World Fantasy Award for lifetime achievement.
In The Colors of Space, young Bart Steele, Space Academy graduate, is waiting in a spaceport for a ship to take him home when something happens that suddenly thrusts him into the center of a quest for the secret of interstellar travel. The method of faster than light travel, called "warp drive" in later Sci-Fi stories, is a tightly kept secret of an alien race known as the "Lhari." Some humans feel that they should not have to depend on the Lhari to get to far away planets and enlist Bart to help them wrest the secret from the Lhari by undertaking a perilous mission. Bart's survival and the freedom of the human race suddenly depend on his courage and wits.
(P)2009 Jimcin Recordings
"Good stuff"
I am a great fan of Marion Zimmer Bradley, having read The Mists of Avalon and the entire Darkover series.
Like those, this story is well written, fast paced and has a lot of food for thought. In some ways it
reminds me of the movie, Avatar. In both, the hero learns that just because aliens are different, it does
not maker them inferior, bad, or the enemy. In both stories there are good and bad aliens and good and bad men.
A word about the reader... I think he did a fine job. However, as a former reader for the blind, I know
that recording books is a pain-staking and time consuming job and that it is really easy to make a mistake
without knowing it. There are a couple of small goofs in this book but I don't blame the reader.
It's the job of the "checker" or, I would guess, the "sound editor" in the professional world to catch such mistakes.
That person missed a couple in this case... So five stars to the book, five to the reader and three to the checker.
I see that The Door Through Space is also available. Looking forward to that next.
You can tell who I am by my reading, or can you?
"interesting title of an interesting"
After reading, the colors of the title have had a new meaning. Not only the real colors that you may find in space, but also the mix of races that the space exploration will probably lead to. So the reading is also very important today when we face the different colors of our own planet. Great reading, very visual. I do not know why there is not a movie from this book still.
Very captivating story. Good narration as well.
"Well done"
Sometimes I have to wonder if I am listening to the same book after reading a review that pans the narrator. I thought the reading was quite good - as was the book. Very enjoyable.
"Can't get past the narrator."
The story is passable, but the narrator is not. I swear there were times when he sounded just like Stephen Hawking's computer voice. The voice was so stilted, I felt like I was back in high school and we were taking turns reading out loud. Words mispronounced (dwarfed became dwarfeded - seriously), no differentiation of voices and inappropriate rhythms in the sentences. Do yourself a favor - go buy the book and read it yourself - it will be much more satisfying.
"Good story, bad narrator"
I'm about half way through this novelette and while I'm enjoying the story, I'm finding myself so distracted by the bad narration that it's hard to concentrate. The man sounds like a radio announcer from the 50s.
The only gripe I have with the story so far is the portrayal of the foreigner (or alien) as simply bad. The Humans find the Laahri evil and the Laahri find the Humans stupid.
Will revise this review upon finishing the listen.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Benefit Options
Retirement Benefits
Retirement/Pension Plan
Employees are covered by the defined benefit retirement plan provided by the Hospital, subject to plan eligibility. Employees with three or more years of service are vested in the retirement plan benefits, and the benefit is based on years of service and final average earnings. This plan is funded entirely by the Hospital and benefits are insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Upon vesting, a future pension benefit is guaranteed (either in the form of a lump sum distribution or monthly annuity) and is not subject to the volatility of investments in the market.
403(b) Tax Sheltered Savings Plan
A 403(b) Tax Sheltered Savings Plan allows employees to save money for their retirement, in addition to the pension benefit provided by the Hospital. Employees who choose to participate in the Plan receive immediate tax benefits (contributions are deducted from gross pay prior to taxes) and can look forward to potentially rewarding long-term returns through tax-deferred earnings. Investment options include mutual funds with various levels of risk and a guaranteed fixed income account.
When you save in this plan, St. Clair Hospital will match a portion of your contributions up to 2% of your eligible pay.

Dangerous to yourself or your interests.More obvious forms of self-destruction are eating disorders, alcohol abuse, drug addictions, self-injury and suicide attempts.
In the 15th century there was a King Of Portugal. At 24 yrs of age he had it all. He was good looking and a master swordsman and adored by the people of Portugal. Against the advise of his military advisers he decided to invade the Monoans. He and his 18,000 men were surrounded by 40,000 Monoans and slaughtered. Not only did the king destroy himself but since his army was also destroyed Portugal had no way to defend itself and was invaded by a neighboring country. All because a young handsome King wanted some adventure.
