Delores Williams, wise theologian and teacher, was my colleague when I first came to Union Seminary. She grew up in the South and remembers Sunday mornings when the minister shouted out: "Who is Jesus?" The choir responded in voices loud and strong: "King of kings and Lord Almighty!" Then, little Miss Huff, in a voice so fragile and soft you could hardly hear, would sing her own answer, "Poor little Mary's boy." Back and forth they sang – KING OF KINGS … Poor little Mary's boy. Delores said, "It was the Black church doing theology." Who is Jesus? "King of Kings" cannot be the answer without seeing "poor little Mary's boy."
There is dissonance in the songs.
The images clash. One is big and powerful, the other small and poor. Christ the King Sunday is a dissonant day. Some congregations have changed the name to Reign of Christ Sunday to avoid the male image of "king." But that doesn't make much difference if we forget that Jesus is "poor little Mary's boy." The ancient creeds got something right when they remembered Mary and Pontius Pilate almost in the same breath. Though "king" is male, the word is important because Jesus turned that word on its head. This king is in handcuffs, standing before Pontius Pilate who has the power to condemn him to death or set him free. This Sunday honors Jesus Christ as King, but soon the religious leaders will shout, "We have no king but the emperor!" There is dissonance on this day and in this text.
What kind of king is Jesus?
Pilate wants to know. He needs to know because "king" is a political term, and Pilate is a political person. In this chapter, he keeps going back and forth between the Praetorium and the crowds outside. He moves from questioning Jesus inside City Hall to appeasing Jesus' accusers outside. Unfortunately, in John's Gospel those accusers are always called "the Jews" – as though Jesus wasn't Jewish, as though all the Jews were to blame for killing Jesus.
Years after Jesus' death and resurrection, animosity toward Jewish people infected John's Gospel with language that accused all Jews of condemning Jesus. There were some Jews who opposed Jesus and some who followed him. There were some who collaborated with the Roman authorities – like Christian bishops appointed by the Nazi regime. Today we must repudiate every claim that Jews were responsible for Jesus' death. Pilate needed to know: "Are you the king of the Jews?" If so, you're guilty of treason because the emperor in Rome is the king of everyone everywhere, including the Jews.
To proclaim Jesus as King was a subversive act.
One of my students is an Anglican priest from South Africa. Not long ago he shared a story about what it was like to believe Jesus was King during the days of apartheid. "Our whole congregation was arrested," he said, "for refusing to obey the government." I thought I misheard him, but he went on to say that all 240 members of the congregation were arrested and put in jail – from babies to a 90-year-old man. "At least babies and mothers were kept together," he added. The pastor himself was imprisoned for a year. To claim that Jesus is King can be dangerous.
"What is truth?"
"What is truth?" Pilate asked, and the question is left hanging in the air. Was he being sarcastic or was he searching for answers nobody else had given him? The answer was not a philosophical proof or a creedal proposition. Truth was the person standing in silence before Pilate. We shouldn't be surprised for John's Gospel began with claims that shocked the philosophers. "In the beginning was the Word," John began, "and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." The philosophers nodded their heads and pulled their chairs closer to listen. They knew this Word. It was logos in Greek – as in logic. This was the cosmic, eternal prime-mover, beyond time and space. This was logic they could understand and affirm but they weren't prepared for the next part: "And the Word became flesh and lived among us … full of grace and truth" (John 1: 14).
No, that couldn't be! That was jarring – a dissonant sound. Eternal Word clashed with earthly flesh. We hear dissonance in the beginning and now near the end of Jesus' life. The truth is a person, the Word made flesh. This Word came to live with us – literally, to "pitch his tent" among people of earth.
Where will we see this strange king?
We'll look in places we never expected, surprised as the philosophers were at the beginning of this Gospel. We see Jesus engaging in deep theological conversation with a Samaritan woman who had had five husbands and was living with a man who wasn't her husband! We see Jesus bending down on the ground to be with a woman accused of adultery. He leans in close to hear her voice when nobody else bothered to listen. We see Jesus putting a towel around his waist and then kneeling on the floor to wash his disciples' dirty feet.
Jesus is a king who never rose so high that he couldn't see those who were down low. Even today, we see Jesus in tent cities where people live together after losing their homes to foreclosure. We see Jesus in public housing where people are still waiting for the power to come on after the storm. We see Jesus in shelters where women have sought refuge from abusers.
If we would see Jesus, we will look in places kings seldom go.

Pope's butler goes on trial in 'Vatileaks' scandal
Published on Sep 29, 2012 9:33 AM
VATICAN CITY (AFP) - Pope Benedict XVI's former butler Paolo Gabriele goes on trial on Saturday for leaking confidential Vatican memos that revealed cloak-and-dagger politics among the pope's closest aides.
A once loyal servant who said he grew disgusted by the "evil and corruption" he witnessed, Mr Gabriele told investigators he was acting as an "agent" of the Holy Spirit to help the pope put a weary Catholic Church back on track.
Mr Gabriele faces up to four years in prison for aggravated theft in a trial that is unprecedented in the modern history of the world's smallest state.
Using the codename "Maria", he is accused of meeting investigative reporter Gianluigi Nuzzi earlier this year and passing him copies of secret papers.

Terry Pierce - Sensible Burnley show others how it's done
Published: 14 Sep 2010 - 09:05:18
Last season, when Hull were looking down the back of the sofa to try and pay Jimmy Bullard for another day or bring in someone - anyone - who might be able to help them stave off relegation, their fellow strugglers Burnley almost seemed to just accept the inevitable.
But six weeks into the new campaign, it's clear as day that the patient and thoughtful decision-making of the Lancashire club has stood them in far better stead for the current campaign.
The West Brom model of promotion and relegation on a budget, and taking large slices of the parachute payments to build a stand or development centre, while adding thoughtfully to the playing staff, is a massively under-rated ethos. But from the moment Owen Coyle led Burnley to their play-off final win 15 months ago, the Clarets embraced the idea.
I'm not for one minute suggesting they didn't try to stay up, and if they had managed to keep hold of Coyle and continue their excellent start they may well have. But at no stage did anyone at Turf Moor panic and reach for the cheque book, pen in hand. And at no stage was anyone tempted to offer silly money to ageing stars on long-term contracts.
Even the new manager was carefully chosen. Brian Laws isn't a big name and has yet to prove himself in the top two divisions, but the board identified him as a sound coach who could achieve without spending masses of cash.
Laws saw a couple of his top players leave following relegation, but the money has been reinvested superbly in proven top-end Championship players such as Ross Wallace and Chris Iwelumo. And it was Iwelumo who provided the spark for the Clarets' incredible derby-day comeback over Preston on Saturday evening, with the 4-3 win ensuring their spot among the pacemakers.
Thanks to a season in the top flight, Burnley are now blessed with a big second-tier budget as their parachute payments can be used in the right way, to improve the club on and off the field, not to service ridiculous levels of debt racked up in their fight against relegation.
Under Brian Laws and the board at Turf Moor, the future looks bright for Burnley and they are set to be right in the mix for promotion again this season. Their success should serve as a lesson to every other club battling for a spot in the Premier League, and is a victory for patient and sensible ownership.
Brave Buckle has Gulls soaring
Torquay boss Paul Buckle caused quite a stir down in Devon last January. His side sat just above the relegation zone when he shipped out a whole host of experienced pros and looked to replace them with young, hungry players.
And the turnaround in fortune has been exceptional. The Gulls finished last season superbly and now proudly sit top of League Two.
Buckle's brave move nine months ago certainly looks to have paid off.

Mike Napoli ended up signing with Boston, but the whole drawn out process and Napoli's final contract terms make much of his future, both short- and long-term, very uncertain.
Ultimately, Napoli and the Red Sox agreed to a one-year, $5MM contract with incentives that could bring the full value of the deal up to $13MM. Considering the original deal was three years with $39MM guaranteed, Napoli sure had to cave a lot to get a deal done, and the fact that he couldn't find a better deal out there on the free agent market only adds to concerns over Napoli's health.
It seems like Napoli and Boston are perfect for each other and the incentives are based on playing time as opposed to productivity, so I'm not surprised he agreed to the final terms of the deal.

After DOMA ruling, few fighting words from congressional GOP on gay marriage
One by one, leading Republicans offered statements after the Supreme Court's DOMA ruling that showed they were ready, by and large, to leave the gay marriage fight to the states.
Cliff Owen/AP
The Defense of Marriage Act evaporated in the US Congress not with a bang but with a whimper on Wednesday, after the US Supreme Court struck down the core of the law, allowing same-sex couples to access federal benefits in states that recognize gay marriage.
There appeared to be no spirit to rejoin the cultural wars over DOMA, a bill that passed Congress with a vast bipartisan majority in 1996 and was signed into law by then-President Bill Clinton.
Even House Republicans, whose lawyers defended the law before the court after President Obama's administration declined, offered no fighting words on gay marriage. One by one, leading Republicans offered statements that showed they were ready, by and large, to leave the marriage rumble to the states.
"A robust national debate over marriage will continue in the public square, and it is my hope that states will define marriage as the union between one man and one woman," said House Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio in a statement.
That's a sentiment echoed by House majority leader Eric Cantor (R) of Virginia and a slew of other congressional Republicans including potential presidential hopefuls Sens. Marco Rubio (R) of Florida and Rand Paul (R) of Kentucky.

Williston principal and assistant principal served with suits on FridaySubmitted by WWAY on Mon, 07/13/2009 - 3:31pm.READ MORE:
We told you first that former Williston Middle School teacher Jessica Wishnask is being sued along with two of her former colleagues.
Principal Mary Beall and Assistant Principal Burton Kilpatrick of Williston Middle School were served with the suit on Friday.
We spoke with New Hanover schools attorney Wayne Bullard on Monday. He said he had no comment on the suit after reading it over the weekend.
It has not been decided yet, but there is a chance he could represent the two in court.

We don't know the situation; perhaps the child was supposed to be at a friend's house. No doubt the parents could be more diligent. What is truly unfortunate is they have to take this to civil court to get justice. These two, principal and asst. principal, should be charged with child endangerment, at the very least. The only recourse left to these parents is civil; the parents in this school district should be thanking them. If the principal and assistant principal of a middle school doesn't think the rape of a 15 year old is not egregious enough to act on, I don't know what would be. At this point I would be questioning just how save my child(ren) are. »
The lawsuit and the parentSubmitted by Guest1958 (not verified) on Tue, 07/14/2009 - 8:22am.
And when do parents start taking responsibility for this child's situation. Obviously there was no parental supervision that this was allowed to go on outside of the school. It's a disgrace that the parent even has the nerve to initiate a lawsuit. She needs to go back to parenting school and don't even go there with the single parent deal. You can raise children to be upstanding citizens if you want to. It takes putting your needs on hold. I'm way over divorce being blamed for pure and simple bad parenting!

Trial and error is a central part of marketing. Tips to make your trials a bit more scientific.
Too often, marketers cling to the same campaign elements and tactics without thoroughly testing email variables to determine what will drive performance higher. In fact a Jupiter Research study I recently concluded on the topic found that overall, about 60 percent of marketers don't test. Challenged by resource constraints, most of these non-testers simply feel they don't have the time to regularly test their campaigns.
Yet our research found the marketers who are testing on a regular basis (at least every other mailing) are almost twice as likely to have email conversion rates that exceed industry averages by one to two percent, as compared with marketers who don't test. Clearly, the effort of testing email variables (e.g. subject lines, content) is offset by better results. Testing is really the only way for a marketer to determine which element drives higher results. It's critical for optimizing email campaigns. To ease into testing, let's take a look at some of the rudimentary items to test.
Identify Marketing Goals. While this sounds very basic, I do find on occasion that email becomes a primary promotional tool simply because it's inexpensive. It is easy to get mired in the monotony of getting the email out and lose sight of specific campaign or mailing goals. Before you can conduct any testing you must first know what the desired outcome is.
Identify Consistent Audience Segments. One of the first elements to test, and an early deliverable that comes out of testing, is audience segmentation. Ensure your email solution can support multiple lists, and customer profiles can be easily divided into segments. Some attributes you'll want to test related to audience segmentation include demographic data (e.g. income, age, sex); behavior (e.g. open, click); purchase history (e.g. recency, frequency); acquisition source; attitudes and domain (e.g. AOL, Yahoo). I've discussed using behavior and attitudinal segmentation in previous columns; take a look at those for more ideas.
Experiment With Message Formats. While HTML is the preferred format for most marketers, anti-spam measures, including image and HTML blocking at many leading ISPs, underscore the importance of testing message format. Look for differences in delivery, open rate, clickthrough rate and conversion. Testing formats on a domain level and obtaining insight into the domain level performance is critical to really understand the impact the message format has on performance.
Tinker With Content. One area likely to have the largest impact on campaign performance is testing different creative elements. Experiment with the subject line, personalized campaign elements, number of products and/or offers presented, and message tone. Research I've conducted has found personalization can have a dramatic impact on email conversion rates. Determining if personalization is appropriate for your campaigns can only be achieved through testing.
Test Frequency. In order to determine your optimal mailing frequency or the impact of triggered lifecycle campaigns, test message frequency over time. My column on message frequency offers some ideas on alternate mailing intervals.
While testing is beneficial and all the above items are just some of the variables you can test, it's very important to adhere to the following basic testing guidelines to measure which element is driving the results.
Trial and error is a central part of marketing. Hopefully, these suggestions will make your trials a bit more scientific. Good luck -- and let me know how it turns out.

It all adds up to growing evidence – recognized to varying degrees by the US public, politicians, and businesses – that cybersecurity is the next frontier of national security, perhaps second only to safeguarding the nation against weapons of mass destruction.
"The cyberthreat facing the nation has finally been brought to public attention," says James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington national-security think tank. "Everyone knows it's a problem. It has moved out of the geek world, and that's a good thing. But it's led to more confusion than clarity. So now we're developing the skills to talk about it – and it's taking longer than I thought it would."
The awakening to cyberthreats has been gradual. In 2010, news of the world's first cyberweapon – the Stuxnet computer worm that attacked part of Iran's nuclear fuel program – burst upon the scene, raising concern about broad replication. Then came an increasing onslaught from hacktivist groups, which often stole and released private data. Between December 2010 and June 2011, for example, members of Anonymous were responsible for cyberattacks against the websites of Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal, as part of a tit for tat over the controversial WikiLeaks website.

GWEN IFILL: President Obama marked two major victories today, as Congress wound down for the year. It was part of an end-of-year comeback for Mr. Obama and his agenda.
The president's victory lap came during a late afternoon news conference…
U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Good afternoon.
GWEN IFILL: … shortly after the Senate ratified the New START nuclear treaty.
BARACK OBAMA: A lot of folks in this town predicted that, after the midterm elections, Washington would be headed for more partisanship and more gridlock. And instead, this has been a season of progress for the American people.
U.S. VICE PRESIDENT JOSEPH BIDEN: The vote on this resolution are 71 yeas, 26 nays. Two-thirds of the Senate present having voted in the affirmative, the resolution of ratification is agreed to.
SEN. JOHN KERRY (D-Mass.), chairman, Foreign Relations Committee: This was a very, very important measure for the president in terms of his ability to move America's agenda on a global basis.
GWEN IFILL: The White House pinned its hopes for the lame-duck session on extending Bush era tax cuts, repealing don't ask, don't tell, and ratifying START.
BARACK OBAMA: So, I think it's fair to say that this has been the most productive post-election period we've had in decades. And it comes on the heels of the most productive two years that we've had in generations.
GWEN IFILL: Congress also passed a law overhauling the nation's food safety laws and, today, a health care bill for 9/11 first-responders.
Hours earlier, the president used 15 pens to sign the bill allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military.
BARACK OBAMA: No longer will tens of thousands of Americans in uniform be asked to live a lie, or look over their shoulder in order to serve the country that they love.
GWEN IFILL: The president also said his opposition to gay marriage is evolving.
BARACK OBAMA: With respect to the issue of whether gays and lesbians should be able to get married, I have spoken about this recently. As I have said, you know, my feelings about this are constantly evolving. I struggle with this.
I have friends, I have people who work for me who are in powerful, strong, long-lasting gay or lesbian unions, and they are extraordinary people, and this is something that means a lot to them and they care deeply about.
At this point, what I have said is, is that my baseline is a strong civil union that provides them the protections and the legal rights that married couples have. And I think — and I think that's the right thing to do.
But I recognize that, from their perspective, it is not enough. And I think this is something that we're going to continue to debate and I personally am going to continue to wrestle with going forward.
GWEN IFILL: All told, the day's events completed an unlikely journey for a president who seemed to be reeling just seven weeks ago, when Democrats suffered heavy losses in the midterm elections.
BARACK OBAMA: I'm not recommending for every future president that they take a shellacking like they — like I did last night.
You know, I'm sure there are easier ways to learn these lessons.
But I do think that, you know, this is a growth process and — and an evolution.
GWEN IFILL: There was one key setback, when the Senate refused to take up the DREAM Act, which would have provided a path to citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants.
BARACK OBAMA: Maybe my biggest disappointment was this DREAM Act vote. You know, I get letters from kids all across the country, came here when they were 5, came here when they were 8. Their parents were undocumented.
The kids didn't know. The kids are going to school, like any other American kid. They're growing up. They're playing football. They're going to class. They're dreaming about college.
And suddenly, they come to 18, 19 years old, and they realize, "Even though I feel American, I am an American, the law doesn't recognize me as an American. I'm willing to serve my country. I'm willing to fight for this country. I want to go to college and better myself, and I'm at risk of deportation."
And it is heartbreaking. That can't be who we are.
One thing I hope people have seen during this lame duck, I am persistent. I am persistent. I — you know, if I believe in something strongly, I stay on it.
GWEN IFILL: But, for the president, there were mostly victories. In early December, he announced a landmark free trade deal between the U.S. and South Korea. Then, he met Senate Republicans halfway on the tax cut deal, sparking fierce opposition within his own party.
REP. LLOYD DOGGETT (D-TX): We were told yesterday by the vice president this was a take-it-or-leave-it deal. We're saying, leave it.
GWEN IFILL: All but dismissing his critics, the president said ideology should not always win the day.
BARACK OBAMA: People will have the satisfaction of having a purist position and no victories for the American people. And we will be able to feel good about ourselves and sanctimonious about how pure our intentions are and how tough we are.
GWEN IFILL: Mr. Obama signed the tax cut into law last Friday.
Republicans who compromised on taxes were more resistant when it came to the START treaty.
SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM (R-S.C.): I cannot imagine this president taking it to the limit with the Russians, because nothing he has done has convinced me that he is committed to missile defense.
GWEN IFILL: But, in the end, 13 Republicans joined the vote for ratification.
If anything, though, being criticized from both sides may be helping the president. A Gallup poll released last week showed 46 percent of Americans approve of his job performance. By contrast, Congress saw its lowest approval rating ever, at just 13 percent.
Still, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell issued a reminder today that the president should not read too much into his victories. Republicans, he said, will have strength in numbers in the next Congress.
Writing for "The National Review," he said, "Americans are correct in thinking change has come to Washington."
The president conceded today, there are battles to come.
BARACK OBAMA: If there's any lesson to draw from these past few weeks, it's that we are not doomed to endless gridlock. We've shown in the wake of the November elections that we have the capacity not only to make progress, but to make progress together.
And I'm not naive. I know there will be tough fights in the months ahead. But my hope heading into the new year is that we can continue to heed the message of the American people and hold to a spirit of common purpose in 2011 and beyond. And if we do that, I'm convinced that we will lift up our middle class, we will rebuild our economy, and we will make our contribution to America's greatness.
GWEN IFILL: After meeting with reporters, the president headed for the airport for a long-delayed holiday vacation with his family in Hawaii.
For a broader look at the president's reversal of fortune, we turn to Susan Page, Washington bureau chief for USA Today, and Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center.
We just heard the president virtually declare the end of gridlock, Susan. Is that what we saw?
SUSAN PAGE, Washington Bureau Chief, USA Today: I think we saw remarkable progress in December. The president had a bad November. He had a pretty good December, better than most of us expected.
But that doesn't necessarily mean January is going to look better. It's going to be a different political landscape when the new Congress comes in, in January. So, he should savor these moments of victory today.
GWEN IFILL: Of the three big victories — don't ask, don't tell, the tax cuts, and the START treaty — which would you say that the White House particularly says — needed the most, wanted the most?
SUSAN PAGE: You know, I think this vindicates the decision that they made to take the tax cut deal they could get quickly, and not stage the kind of public battle that a lot of liberal Democrats wanted them to have.
And that was to protect, I think, the START treaty — START treaty a big agenda item on the national security front, one that, if it got laid over to the next Congress, its prospects less certain in the new Senate.
Don't ask, don't tell also, though, an important victory, a big signal to the president's base that he had delivered on an important promise he made to gay Americans.
GWEN IFILL: I remember when he used to get heckled at events, saying he wasn't doing enough fast enough on that issue.
Andy, when you think — when you take a look at what American people have been demanding, what messages they were supposed to have sent during this election, how does what has happened since the midterm square with that?
ANDREW KOHUT, director, Pew Research Center: Well, I think the American public is going to be very surprised by what they have seen in December.
When we asked them after the election what did they want the president and the Republicans to do, they said compromise, get along, get some things down. Then we said, well, do you think that will happen? They said no. So…
GWEN IFILL: We said that, too, to be honest.
ANDREW KOHUT: They I think they are going to look very favorably upon this.
But you know what's interesting about these three major pieces of legislation? And that is, there's strong independent support for every one of these three. And the Republican opposition on gays in the military and even the START treaty isn't all that substantial. The Republicans are divided on it.
We don't have we don't have issues here where the Republicans are way on one side and the Democrats are way on the other side. Republicans are less positive. Now, on the tax deal, we had liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans equally approving. Remarkable.
GWEN IFILL: Was that appealing to independents, to have the president alienate the most conservative members of the Republican Party on one side and the most liberal members of his own party on the other?
ANDREW KOHUT: Well, I don't know about whether independents think that strategically. But I think what is important to them is that he got things done.
I mean, what we see in Obama's image is a slip in he can get — he's the kind of president who achieves things. And this will be very helpful to him with independents, who have been, were the Democrats' biggest problem, among a number, in the last election.
GWEN IFILL: Yet we don't want to overreach.
I wonder if it seems that the Republicans are as weak as they seem right at this moment or Democrats are as strong as they seem, or, even going back seven weeks, whether the Republicans were as strong as they seemed and the Democrats were as weak as they seemed.
SUSAN PAGE: Well, remember, the full impact of the election, the results of the elections, we didn't see with these votes. We were seeing the old Congress act.
We're going to have more than 100 new members of Congress come in, in January. Close to half of them were elected by affiliations with the Tea Party movement. They're going to — they're — they're — and that is going to be a group that is very suspicious of compromise, elected on really hard-line positions on issues.
You know, one of the things that they did this — this last couple days that was a disappointment to the White House was the funding bill for the government that went only until March.
GWEN IFILL: Right.
SUSAN PAGE: You know, they had hoped to get one for a longer period of time. That means, in early March, this issue of spending, spending cuts, is going to come to a head in the Congress. And that is going to be a huge battle.
And that's when you're going to see the kind of talk about a government shutdown that became such a big issue after the 1994 midterms.
GWEN IFILL: Will the president's allies on these key issues, especially allies in the other party, do — will they exist? Will they have any motivation in the new Congress?
SUSAN PAGE: You know, of the 13 Republicans who voted for ratification of the New START treaty, three of them are leaving Congress. Ten of those Republicans are going to still be there.
GWEN IFILL: John McCain wasn't one of those Republicans.
SUSAN PAGE: Not one of them.
In fact — in fact, with the exception of Afghanistan, he has not supported the president on any major issue since the president beat him in the 2008 election.
GWEN IFILL: Which is significant, because he was actually talking to him about START there at the end, and it just didn't pan out.
SUSAN PAGE: And because he's been a leader on so many of these issues in the past. Now he is really at odds with the administration.
So, I think it is dangerous to say, because they were able to compromise here, you're going to see more compromise in next year's Congress. I think that's a hard thing to predict as you look at the numbers now.
GWEN IFILL: We just heard the president talk this afternoon about gay marriage. And I wonder whether his evolution, as he describes it, of thinking about gay marriage, as opposed to gay unions, in the wake of don't ask, don't tell repeal, whether that's supported at all by what the American people say they feel about the idea of gay unions.
ANDREW KOHUT: There is certainly support for civil unions among gays, and somewhat more support for gay marriage. But…
GWEN IFILL: You mean it's grown.
ANDREW KOHUT: It's grown. It's grown somewhat. But we still don't have a consensus or majority support for the idea of gay marriage.
Don't ask, don't tell is — is — was broadly popular. Gay marriage is not there. The dynamics of public opinion about these issues are very much the same. They're based upon generation. But you don't have the same — you don't have the same kind of support for gay marriage that you had in this particular case.
GWEN IFILL: What about dynamics for things like tax cuts, where it's a matter of whose ox is being gored? In the end, was he taking that much of a risk in pushing forward with this compromise with Republicans?
ANDREW KOHUT: Well, was he taking that much of a risk?
GWEN IFILL: Yes.
ANDREW KOHUT: I don't know. It doesn't appear that way, because the Democrats — many — most of the Democrats said in response to this, this is good for me personally and it's good for the economy.
They went onto say, we don't think it's good for the deficit. But the deficit concerns often get a lower priority, particularly among Democrats, than personal economic situation.
GWEN IFILL: Yet, the thing we heard the president talk about just now with — at some length, was about the DREAM Act and his disappointment that that didn't pass.
In the end, considering the other things he was able to pull off, why didn't — why did that one fall short?
SUSAN PAGE: Well, I think there was never a real prospect that the DREAM Act was going to pass. I mean, I think it was important to some Democrats that they make an effort.
Hispanics are such a key voting group in the United States, the fastest growing ethnic group that we have. But I think that was really a bridge too far. A lot of people didn't think he'd get START, the 9/11 bill, don't ask, don't tell.
I mean, this is — we should — having just seen these victories, you shouldn't underestimate what a big achievement this is. And just in weeks after taking what the president keeps calling a shellacking in the election, you remember, in 1994…
GWEN IFILL: He used the word again today.
SUSAN PAGE: He did.
In 1994, when President Clinton took a shellacking in that midterm election, it took him a long time to get — kind of find his sea legs again. We have seen this president respond very quickly to this new political dynamic.
GWEN IFILL: As we watch this new political dynamic, does this mean that — is there a lesson to be learned for Republicans, that they have to rethink their relationship, especially congressional Republicans, with the Obama White House? Or is there a lesson for the Obama White House; they have to rethink their relationship with congressional Republicans?
ANDREW KOHUT: Well, they both have to be, especially the Republicans, very wary of their base.
In the poll that we did right after the election, we asked the Republicans, what do they want? Do they want their party to compromise and get things done with the president, or stand up to him? Eighty-six to six was the margin among Republicans.
Among Democrats…
GWEN IFILL: To stand up to the president.
ANDREW KOHUT: To stand up to the president.
Among Democrats, they were pretty evenly divided on this. The reason is, Republicans are more disproportionately conservative than Democrats are liberal. The Republican Party is a more politicized party than the Democratic Party. And Republicans will have some real issues if — on many issues, given this tendency.
GWEN IFILL: So, we will start all over again in January, folks.
Andy Kohut, Susan Page, thank you very much.
SUSAN PAGE: Thank you.

Anacor Pharmaceuticals Announces FDA Acceptance Of Tavaborole NDA For Filing
Anacor Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ANAC) announced today that its New Drug Application (NDA) for tavaborole, its drug candidate for the topical treatment of onychomycosis, has been accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicating that the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) V goal date is July 29, 2014.
About Anacor Pharmaceuticals
Anacor is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing novel small-molecule therapeutics derived from its boron chemistry platform. Anacor has discovered seven compounds that are currently in development. Its two lead product candidates are topically administered dermatologic compounds — tavaborole, a topical antifungal for the treatment of onychomycosis, and AN2728, a topical anti-inflammatory PDE-4 inhibitor for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. In addition to its two lead programs, Anacor has discovered three other wholly-owned clinical product candidates — AN2718 and AN2898, which are backup compounds to tavaborole and AN2728, respectively, and AN3365 an antibiotic for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. We have discovered two other compounds that we have out-licensed for further development — one compound for the treatment of an animal health indication that is licensed to Eli Lilly and Company and AN5568, also referred to as SCYX-7158, for human African trypanosomiasis (HAT, or sleeping sickness), which is licensed to Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative, or DNDi. We also have a pipeline of other internally discovered topical and systemic boron-based compounds in development. For more information, visit http://www.anacor.com.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements with respect to the FDA goal date for Anacor's product candidate, tavaborole. These forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual levels of activity, performance or achievement to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including risks related to the regulatory approval process of new drug candidates. Reference should be made to Anacor's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the heading "Risk Factors" and Anacor's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for a more detailed description of such factors. These statements reflect the views of Anacor as of the date of this press release with respect to future events and, except as required by law, it undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this press release.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

From the Longview News-Journal:
The cost of lunch at local school cafeterias is about to go up next year because of a new federal mandate that says there can't be any price difference between free and paid meals.
Essentially, if a school district gets reimbursed $2.76 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture per lunch for a student on the free and reduced lunch program, then students who pay for meals also must be charged $2.76.

Cloud Solutions for Retailers and Service-Based Business
Our Mission
iLifestyle is a team of experts and advisors that help businesses move to the Cloud with solutions that are simple to use, easy to scale & accessible from anywhere. Our passion is integrating fantastic products that put hours back in our client's day & allow them to better plan for what's next. It is our mission to work with forward thinking and unique businesses that understand the value of implementing systems that will ease stress and increase the time available to further hone their craft.
Our Story
Being a small business owner in the music industry in the early-mid 2000's I constantly dealt with being overworked and semi-disorganized. Cloud technology was just starting to come into it's own at the time and I ate it up for breakfast. I was always looking for how I could save a little time using an app. I also found myself constantly advocating these technologies to the musicians I worked with on merchandising and business strategies. In 2012 I decided that my real passion was in helping small business owners reduce many of the stresses I dealt with and iLifestyle was born. My growing team and I have a flare for those who take a step outside the norm and want to give their customers an outstanding experience. Simply put, we do this because we truly believe in the clients we work with. Your passion feeds our passion.
-Ryan Powell, Chief Expert.
Our Immutable Values
Family First. Family is incredibly important to us. In fact, everything we do is built on this value. We treat each client as if they were family. We are proud of their accomplishments and are there to lend a hand when they need it. This drives us to take great care in building trust and making real needs based recommendations to those we interact with.
Teach First, Do Second. Each stage in working with a client has value as a teachable moment. In our interactions with our clients, we are always vigilant in explaining what we are doing and why. There is more value in that explanation than hiding what is done in fear that a client may just do it themselves next time. Teaching focused service allows the client to have a better understanding of the process and hones the skills of our team.
We Are What We Eat. Our Clients intrust us as experts in the solutions we recommend. Not only do we use many of the solutions we integrate, we spend a great deal of time putting ourselves in our clients shoes. By testing as many solutions as we can, we cultivate apps based on what's the best for our clients rather than the benefits and incentives of the partner programs they offer to us. We are unique, artistic, deeply caring, radical outside the box thinkers which are the qualities of the clients we get up each day to serve.

If this is the 1st pass of binutils failing, then clearly, it is completely wrong for your system to be setting the program interpreter to /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2 It looks to me as if you have accidentally edited the specs file for your host compiler in a previous attempt. If this is the case then the fix is simple, undo the edit that was made to your host gcc's specs file.

Yeti Tribe Whewww!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I sold my old 575 early this year and upgraded to the SB75. I went with the Enduro Kit with a few additional upgrades including Shimano XT drivetrain. Kind of a gamble considering I hadn't actually ridden the bike prior to riding it... AND Yeti just released this model for this summer. Best decision ever! I'm absolutely loving it! So dialed. Really plush, solid, smooth riding. Definitely better coming down, but uphill ain't bad. The 650b rolls over everything a bit better than my old 26" 575, but pins it downhill better than any 29er I've ridden. Definitely the best of both worlds.
whoa --Fun!!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I had the chance to ride this bike at Outerbike recently and it was,by far, my favorite ride of the weekend. I immediately felt at home on this bike with its ample stand over height,low bottom bracket and well-balanced geometry. That combo made the bike very snappy and agile with awesome flick ability on the trail. The bike also accelerated very well,especially in steep sections and the 5 inches of travel I felt was a great compliment to the 27.5 wheel size. I look forward to the carbon version one day!. If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up.
If you have specific questions do not hesitate to contact me. My direct line here is 801-736-6396 x 4074 or e-mail at email@example.com

Although we may look up at the stars in wonder, space can actually be a very scary place. In this terrifyingly awesome trailer for Gravity, director Alfonso Cuarón attempts to destroy any childhood dreams you once had of becoming an astronaut.
The film stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney (and only Bullock and Clooney) as astronauts on a space shuttle mission that turns catastrophic. Space debris forces them to detach from the shuttle, leaving them completely stranded and running out of oxygen.
In case you didn't notice, the trailer is one continuous shot. In fact, the first 20 minutes of the film is a single extended take, just to heighten to the fear of what it would be like to helplessly drift further and further into the infinite darkness. Gravity is set to open the Venice Film Festival on August 28, and will be released in theaters on October 4.

I'm so sorry everyone, but the worst has happened! My computer screen is completely buggered and it's (FINGERS CROSSED EVERYONE) being fixed. So, I'm afraid to say, I'm going to be a bit behind with the facts until it's sorted or I find a temporary computer screen that I can borow off someone, or I'll have to buy a new one. Hopefully it won't be the last option, because I don't have any money!
However, I've been told I can borrow the one from my mum and dad's office when they're not using it, and they have it back after I've finished the fact of the day. This may be the best option for now. Unfortunately, I won't be able to nick it off them until later on today, so the fact will be much later than usual.
I really am so sorry, I feel like I've let all my fact followers down!
I'll hopefully have a better solution to the problem by the end of the day!! It's such a shame I can't put Photoshop on more than one computer, that would've been SOOO much easier!
Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely day, I'll try to feel less rubbish about it all!!
Hopefully, the next time you hear from me will be a Fact upload!!!

Re: What is so bad about a Porta Potti?
We use a PP in our 25 footer. Mostly we go over the weekend. Two days is fine for 2 or 3 of us. Some trips are longer. It's a bit of a pain, but we'll take it out for 6 days at a time. We dump at a marina and once or twice, made sure we were out far enough and over the side. We use the biodegradable, non-toxic chemicals. Paper is not an issue. The effluence is a choco-slurry . . . no solids. Gross but good to know.
So . . . use the PP. Not a big deal and there when you need it.
