text:
Sin is a term used mainly in a religious context to describe an act that violates a moral rule, or the state of having committed such a violation. Commonly, the moral code of conduct is decreed by a divine entity (such as Yahweh or Allah in the Abrahamic religions).
Sin is often used to mean an action that is prohibited or considered wrong; in some religions (notably some sects of Christianity), sin can refer to a state of mind rather than a specific action. Colloquially, any thought, word, or act considered immoral, shameful, harmful, or alienating might be termed "sinful".
Common ideas surrounding sin in various religions include:
Crime and justice are related secular concepts.
The Greek word hamartia (ἁμαρτία) is usually translated as sin in the New Testament. In Classical Greek, it means "to miss the mark" or "to miss the target" which was also used in Old English archery. In Koine Greek, which was spoken in the time of the New Testament, however, this translation is not adequate.
Vipaka, the result of your Karma, may create low quality living, hardships, destruction and all means of disharmony in life and it may also create healthy living, easiness, and harmony in life. Good deeds produce good results while bad deeds produce bad results. Karma and Vipaka are your own action and result.
Pañcasīla (Pāli) is the fundamental code of Buddhist ethics, willingly undertaken by lay followers of Gautama Buddha. It is a basic understanding of the Noble Eightfold Path, which is a Buddhist teaching on ways to stop suffering.
The generic Hebrew word for any kind of sin is avera (literally: transgression). Based on verses in the Hebrew Bible, Judaism describes three levels of sin. There are three categories of a person who commits an avera. The first one is someone who does an avera intentionally, or "B'mezid." This is the most serious category. The second is one who did an avera by accident. This is called "B'shogeg," and while the person is still responsible for their action it is considered less serious. The third category is someone who is a "Tinok Shenishba", which is a person who was raised in an environment that was assimilated or non-Jewish, and is not aware of the proper Jewish laws, or halacha. This person is not held accountable for his or her actions.
Judaism holds that no human being is perfect, and all people have sinned many times. However, certain states of sin (i.e. avon or cheit) do not condemn a person to damnation; only one or two truly grievous sins lead to anything approaching the standard conception of hell. The scriptural and rabbinic conception of God is that of a creator who tempers justice with mercy. Based on the views of Rabbeinu Tam in the Babylonian Talmud (tractate Rosh HaShanah 17b), God is said to have thirteen attributes of mercy:
As Jews are commanded in imitatio Dei, emulating God, rabbis take these attributes into account in deciding Jewish law and its contemporary application.
A classical rabbinic work, Midrash Avot de Rabbi Natan, states:
One time, when Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai was walking in Jerusalem with Rabbi Yehoshua, they arrived at where the Temple in Jerusalem now stood in ruins. "Woe to us" cried Rabbi Yehoshua, "for this house where atonement was made for Israel's sins now lies in ruins!" Answered Rabban Yochanan, "We have another, equally important source of atonement, the practice of gemilut hasadim (loving kindness), as it is stated 'I desire loving kindness and not sacrifice'.
The Babylonian Talmud teaches that "Rabbi Yochanan and Rabbi Eleazar both explain that as long as the Temple stood, the altar atoned for Israel, but now, one's table atones [when the poor are invited as guests]." (Tractate Berachot, 55a.)
The traditional liturgy of the Days of Awe (the High Holy Days; i.e. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) states that prayer, repentance and tzedakah (charitable actions) are ways to repent for sin. In Judaism, sins committed against people (rather than against God or in the heart) must first be corrected and put right to the best of a person's ability; a sin which has not also been put right as best as possible cannot truly be said to be repented.
A number of animal sacrifices were prescribed in the Torah (five books of Moses) to make atonement: a sin-offering for sins, and a guilt offering for religious trespasses. The significance of animal sacrifice is not expanded on at length in the Torah, though Genesis 9:4 and Leviticus 17 suggest that blood and vitality were linked. It should be noted that modern conservative Jews and Christians argue that the Jews never believed that the aim of all sacrifice is to pay the debt for sins - only the sin-offering and the guilt offering had this purpose; modern scholars of early Jewish history, however, often disagree and argue that this division came later. Later Biblical prophets occasionally make statements to the effect that the hearts of the people were more important than their sacrifices - "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams" (I Samuel 15:22); "For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgement of God rather than burnt offerings" (Hosea 6:6); "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart" (Psalm 51:17) (see also Isaiah 1:11, Psalm 40:6-8).
Although the animal sacrifices were prescribed for atonement, there is no place where the Hebrew Bible says that animal sacrifice is the only means of atonement. Hebrew Bible teaches that it is possible to return to God through repentance and prayer alone. For example, in the books of Jonah and Esther, both Jews and gentiles repented, prayed to God and were forgiven for their sins, without having offered any sacrifices. Additionally, in modern times, most Jews do not even consider animal sacrifices. On the High Holidays of Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur - also known as the Day of Atonement-, and the ten-day period between these holidays, repentance of sins committed is based on specialized prayers and hymns, while some Jews continue the ancient methods of sacrifice. An example of a common method of "sacrificing" for the sake of repentance is simply to drop bread into a body of water, to signify the passing of sins and the hope for one to be written into the Book of Life by God once again. This is especially emphasized on what is arguably the holiest Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur.
Repentance in itself is also a means of atonement (See Ezekiel 33:11, 33:19, Jeremiah 36:3, etc.) The Hebrew word for repentance is teshuvah which literally means to "return (to God)." The prophet Hosea (14:3) said, "Take with you words, and return to God." Judaism teaches that our personal relationship with God allows us to turn directly to Him at any time, as Malachi 3:7 says, "Return to Me and I shall return to you," and Ezekiel 18:27, "When the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive." Additionally, God is extremely compassionate and forgiving as is indicated in Daniel 9:18, "We do not present our supplications before You because of our righteousness, but because of Your abundant mercy."
Note that modern Judaism's views on sin and atonement are not identical to those in the Hebrew Bible alone, but rather are based on the laws of the Bible as seen through the Jewish oral law.
In Western Christianity, sin is viewed as a legal infraction or contract violation, and so salvation tends to be viewed in legal terms, similar to Jewish thinking. In Eastern Christianity, sin is viewed in terms of its effects on relationships, both among people and between people and God. The Bible portrays sin as not following God's moral guidance, based on the account of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis. They disobeyed God by eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which gave them the ability to judge and know good from evil for themselves. Thus, the moment Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree—which God had commanded them not to do—sinful death was born; it was act of disobedience, thinking they could become like gods, that was the sin. However, because Eve was deceived, while Adam was not, it is usually believed that Adam held the greatest responsibility for the evil that took place, for which reason the Fall of man is referred to as the "sin of Adam". This sin caused Adam and his lineage to lose access to the Tree of Life and their years of life to be numbered. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" (). In Christian theology, the death of Jesus on the cross is the atonement to the sin of Adam. "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." ().
The Greek word in the New Testament that is translated in English as "sin" is hamartia, which literally means missing the target. 1 John 3:4 states: "Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness". Jesus clarified the law by defining its foundation: "Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." ()
"All the Law" could refer to the Ten Commandments in Exodus that God demands of those that follow Him. In Christianity, salvation is viewed in terms of reconciliation and a genuine relationship with Christ. In Romans it says, "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ our Lord". Both Eastern and Western Christians agree, on the basis of Scripture, that sin serves as a barrier to one having a complete relationship with God. But in the Gospel of John it states "For God so loved the world, He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." This verse is a common base of Christianity (see article on 16). Some Christian denominations believe that salvation is not obtained through good works but faith alone accompanied by obedience to the laws of their religion. These Christians believe that humanity falls short of the 'perfect glory' of God because of sins (imperfections), but the sacrifice of the messiah Jesus provides the potential for redemption (Romans ). See also Biblical law in Christianity.
Mortal sins are sins of grave (serious) matter, where the sinner is fully aware that the act (or omission) is both a sin and a grave matter, and performs the act (or omission) with fully deliberate consent. The act of committing a mortal sin cuts off the sinner from God's grace; it is in itself a rejection of God. If left un-reconciled, mortal sins result in eternal punishment in Hell.
Venial sins are sins which do not meet the conditions for mortal sins. The act of committing a venial sin does not cut off the sinner from God's grace, as the sinner has not rejected God. However, venial sins do injure the relationship between the sinner and God, and as such, must be reconciled to God, either through the sacrament of reconciliation or receiving the Eucharist.
Both mortal and venial sins have a dual nature of punishment. They incur both guilt for the sin, yielding eternal punishment, and temporal punishment for the sin. Reconciliation is an act of God's mercy, and addresses the guilt and eternal punishment for sin. Purgatory and indulgences address the temporal punishment for sin, and exercise of God's justice.
Roman Catholic doctrine also sees sin as being twofold: Sin is, at once, any evil or immoral action which infracts God's law and the inevitable consequences, the state of being that comes about by committing the sinful action. Sin can and does alienate a person both from God and the community. Hence, the Catholic Church's insistence on reconciliation with both God and the Church itself.
The Roman Catholic view of sin has recently expanded. Monsignor Gianfranco Girotti, Regent of the Catholic Apostolic Penitentiary, has said that "known sins increasingly manifest themselves as behavior that damages society as a whole," including, for example:
Mortal sins, which are any severe and intentional actions that directly disobey God, are often confused with the seven deadly sins, which are pride, envy, lust, anger, greed, sloth and gluttony. They are not, however, the same.
Sin is differentiated from the relativistic, individualized transgressions of moral standards pure human rationale dictates, by secular humanism, by its immutability and everlasting nature. Sin never changes, but popular notion does. Hence, sin will always be sin, regardless of epoch.
Religions other than Roman Catholicism view the concept of sin as a wandering from the path to enlightenment, and this also applies to Roman Catholicism, with the addition that God is a Person, and is unchanging; The Father by which everything in three dimensional reality is defined. What is contrary to the Will of God is sin.
Humankind is the only thing that can sin because free will is required, and with the exception of humans, everything in the Universe perfectly obeys the Will of God. The predictability of all things created belies the nature of all things as being ordered according to time, measure, and weight; as recorded in The Holy Bible. Relative physics adopted this view of the Universe and refers to the second, meter, and kilogram as the foundation of all three dimensional reality.
In the grand scheme of everything, from beginning to end, God's Will must be done. By this measure sin can be viewed as the wraith of primordial guilt, or original sin.
The term sin is only applicable to competent individuals past the age of reason. If a person doesn't know something is contrary to the Will of God they cannot be held accountable for sin until such time comes that the individual understands that particular sin is wrong.
This doesn't always happen during the temporal, physical, organic life of the physical body. In this instance the person will be illuminated after death, at which point the soul will be aware of exactly what sins they are guilty of. Atonement for sin cannot be made after the physical death of the human organism, and thus the soul of the unrepentant sinner is in an impossible predicament of final annihilation from existence.
However, God is not bound by time, and if a person was ever forgiven, they were always forgiven. And such is the nature of all Roman Catholics to pray for the departed soul, who didn't understand sin while physical life was in his/her flesh.
Roman Catholic Doctrine dictates Jesus Christ alone can forgive sin, although sin need only be forgiven if one desires immortality in everlasting paradise.
This section is based on the works: Thomas Aquinas, | The Summa Theologica, and Saint Augustine, | Confessions and | On Christian Doctrine
This is in contrast to the Catholic teaching that while sin has tarnished the original goodness of humanity prior to the Fall, it has not entirely extinguished that goodness, or at least the potential for goodness, allowing humans to reach towards God to share in the Redemption which Jesus Christ won for them. Some non-Catholic or Orthodox groups hold similar views.
There is dispute about where sin originated. Some who interpret the king of Tyre in Ezekiel 28 as a symbol for Satan believe sin originated when Satan coveted the position that rightfully belongs to God. The origin of individual sins is discussed in James 1:14-15 - "14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."(NIV)
The Eastern Catholic Churches, which derive their theology and spirituality from same sources as the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox, do not use the Latin Catholic distinction between Mortal and Venial sin. However, like the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, the Eastern Catholic Churches do make a distinction between sins that are serious enough to bar one from Holy Communion (and must be confessed before receiving once again) and those which are not sufficiently serious to do so. In this respect, the Eastern Tradition is similar to the Western, but the Eastern Churches do not consider death in such a state to automatically mean damnation to Hell.
Christian theologians have presented different interpretations of atonement:
The ideas of these and other Christian theologians can be summed up under these rubrics:
"Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately, and rejoice, for no one's good deeds will put him in Paradise." The Companions asked, "Not even you O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Not even me unless Allah bestows His pardon and mercy on me".
In Islam, there are several gradations of sin:
It is believed that Iblis (Satan) has a significant role in tempting humankind towards sin. Thus, Islamic theology identifies and warns of an external enemy of humankind who leads humankind towards sin (, etc.) The Qur'an in several verses (, ) states the details of the Iblis's temptation of Adam and in (Qur'an ) states that the Iblis's pattern of temptation of man is the same as that of Adam, i.e. Allah decrees a law for man but instead man obeys his own base desires and does not guard himself against the allurements of his enemy. Iblis deceives human being with vain hopes whereby he is led astray and fate helps him in that respect. Thus he transgresses some of the limits set for him by Allah and disobeys some of Allah's commandments. He therefore becomes justifiably liable to Allah's judgement and afflictions. But as proposed in the Qur'anic version of the story of Adam, man can turn towards Allah by the words inspired by Allah after being failed in Allah's test, because He is Oft-Returning and Most Merciful (Qur'an ).
Muslims believe that Allah is angered by sin and punishes some sinners with the fires of جهنم jahannam (Hell), but that He is also ar-rahman (the Merciful) and al-ghaffar (the Oft-Forgiving). It is believed that the جهنم jahannam fire has purification functionality and that after purification, an individual who has been condemned to enter جهنم jahannam is eligible to go to جنّة jannah(the Garden), if he "had an atom's worth of faith". Some Qur'anic commentaries such as Allameh Tabatabaei , state that the fire is nothing but a transformed form of the human's sin itself:
Those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, eat up a Fire into their own bodies: They will soon be enduring a Blazing Fire!
Those who conceal Allah's revelations in the Book, and purchase for them a miserable profit - they swallow into themselves naught but Fire...
Some Islamic scholars such as Ibn Sina and Eghbal believe that jahannam (Hell) is not material.
In Islam there are opposing views that if a person commits a sin, he will be out of Islam.
Qur'an teaches that the main way back to Allah is through genuine tawbah (repentance) which literally means 'to return'). See Repentance in Islam for further discussions.
Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Turn ye to our Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that ye shall not be helped.
Verily! Allah Accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards, to them Allah will turn in Mercy, for Allah is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom. And of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces one of them and he says "now have I repented indeed", nor of those who die rejecting faith: for them have we prepared a chastisement most grievous.
Islam does not accept any blood sacrifice for sin. The Islamic understanding of forgiveness is that it is made on the basis of divine grace and repentance. According to Islam, no sacrifice can add to divine grace nor replace the necessity of repentance. In the Islamic theology, the animal sacrifices or blood are not directly linked to atonement (Qur'an : "It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah. it is your piety that reaches Him..."). On the other hand, the sacrifice is done to help the poor, and in remembrance of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son at God's command. (The son is not named in the Qur'an and in early Islam, there was a fierce controversy over the identity of the son. However, the belief that it was Ishmael prevailed later.)
In many verses of the Qur'an, Allah promises to forgive the sins of Muslims (those who believe and do good works) (, etc.)
Prayer and good deeds can also be atonements for sins (Qur'an ). The Islamic Law, Sharia specifies the atonement of any particular sin. Depending on the sin, the atonement can range from repentance and compensation of the sin if possible, feeding the poor, freeing slaves to even stoning to death or cutting hands.
Some of the major sins are held to be legally punishable in an Islamic state (for example, murder, theft, adultery, and in some views apostasy; see sharia). Most are left to Allah to punish (for example, backbiting, hypocrisy arrogance, filial disrespect, lying).
Also, it is said that for every good deed that is done, 10 bad ones (sins) will be taken off.
According to Sahih Bukhari there are seven al-Kaba'ir (major sins) according to this tradition: >
"Avoid the seven noxious things"- and after having said this, the prophet (saw) mentioned them: "associating anything with Allah; magic (Equivalent to Witchcraft and Sorcery in English); killing one whom Allah has declared inviolate without a just case, consuming the property of an orphan, devouring usury, turning back when the army advances, and slandering chaste women who are believers but indiscreet." ,"
'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas said:
Seventy is closer to their number than seven.
Major 70 Sins in Islam
This list is a collection of deeds of varying degrees of offensiveness that have been compiled by religious scholars after Mohammed's time, according to the beliefs of their respective periods. The deeds are interpreted as implied by the canon of the Qur'an.
In the Bahá'í Faith, humans are considered to be naturally good, fundamentally spiritual beings. Human beings were created because of God's immeasurable love for us. However, the Bahá'í teachings compare the human heart to a mirror, which, if turned away from the light of the sun (i.e. God), is incapable of receiving God's love. It is only by turning unto God that the spiritual advancement can be made. In this sense, "sinning" is to follow the inclinations of one's own lower nature, to turn the mirror of one's heart away from God.
One of the main hindrances to spiritual development is the Bahá'í concept of the "insistent self" which is a self-serving inclination within all people. Bahá'ís interpret this to be the true meaning of Satan, often referred to in the Bahá'í Writings as "the Evil One".
Watch over yourselves, for the Evil One is lying in wait, ready to entrap you. Gird yourselves against his wicked devices, and, led by the light of the name of the All-Seeing God, make your escape from the darkness that surroundeth you. — Bahá'u'lláh
This lower nature in humans is symbolized as Satan — the evil ego within us, not an evil personality outside. — `Abdu'l-Bahá
The Bahá'í concept of God is both just and merciful. God is seen as being "He Who forgiveth even the most grievous of sins". Bahá'ís are meant to refrain from focussing on the sins of others, and are meant to have a "sin-covering eye". Bahá'ís are also forbidden to confess their sins to others in order to have their sins removed. Forgiveness is between a person and God alone, and is thus a very personal affair.
Should anyone be afflicted by a sin, it behoveth him to repent thereof and return unto his Lord. He, verily, granteth forgiveness unto whomsoever He willeth, and none may question that which it pleaseth Him to ordain. He is, in truth, the Ever-Forgiving, the Almighty, the All-Praised. — Bahá'u'lláh
Bahá'u'lláh taught that one should bring one's self to account each day, and be constantly concerned with self-improvement. Sin is an inevitable stumbling block, but it should not be allowing to halt one's spiritual progress. One should ask for forgiveness from God alone and then try to develop oneself through acquisition of virtues and communion with God (through prayer, fasting, meditation and other spiritual practices). There are many Bahá'í prayers for forgiveness of oneself, one's parents, and even the deceased. The Bahá'í Faith teaches that pardon can be obtained even in the afterlife and that deeds done in the name of the departed or wealth left by the departed for charity can benefit and advance their souls in the afterlife.
The Bahá'í Faith accepts the Biblical teaching that the sin against the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven, in this world or the world to come.
The Prophets of God are manifestations for the lordly perfections - that is, the Holy Spirit is apparent in Them. If a soul remains far from the manifestation, he may yet be awakened; for he did not recognize the manifestation of the divine perfections. But if he loathe the divine perfections themselves - in other words, the Holy Spirit - it is evident that he is like a bat which hates the light. This detestation of the light has no remedy and cannot be forgiven - that is to say, it is impossible for him to come near unto God. This lamp is a lamp because of its light; without the light it would not be a lamp. Now if a soul has an aversion for the light of the lamp, he is, as it were, blind, and cannot comprehend the light; and blindness is the cause of everlasting banishment from God. — `Abdu'l-Bahá
In the end, only God can decide who is forgiven and who is not.
Shaivite guru Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami explains in the lexicon section of his book, Dancing with Siva, that "sin is an intentional transgression of divine law and is not viewed in Hinduism as a crime against God as in Judaeo-Christian religions, but rather as 1) an act against dharma, or moral order and 2) one's own self." Furthermore, he notes that it is thought natural, if unfortunate, that young souls act wrongly, for they are living in nescience, avidya, the darkness of ignorance.
He further mentions that sin in Hinduism is an adharmic course of action which automatically brings negative consequences. Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami explains that the term sin carries a double meaning, as do its Sanskrit equivalents: 1) a wrongful act, 2) the negative consequences resulting from a wrongful act. In Sanskrit the wrongful act is known by several terms, including pataka (from pat, "to fall"), pāpa, enas, kilbisha, adharma, anrita and rina (transgress, in the sense of omission).
He comments that the residue of sin is called pāpa, sometimes conceived of as a sticky, astral substance which can be dissolved through penance (prayashchitta), austerity (tapas) and good deeds (sukritya). Note that papa is also accrued through unknowing or unintentional transgressions of dharma, as in the term aparadha (offense, fault, mistake).
Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami further notes that in Hinduism, except for Dvaita school of Shri Madhvacharya, there are no such concepts of inherent or mortal sin, according to some theologies, which he defined as sins so grave that they can never be expiated and which cause the soul to be condemned to suffer eternally in hell.

Ranks of Ethical practices in Samkhya Hinduism:
"Atheism" is as vague a category as "theism", however: just as there is no universal doctrine of "theism" (apart from the basic assertion that some divine entity or entities exist), there is no universal doctrine of "atheism," and no unified atheistic view on the concept of sin.

Chris Weidman plans to bring TUF 17's Uriah Hall to help train for Anderson Silva at UFC 162 - Bloody Elbow
Chris will bring in TUF 17's Uriah Hall to help him prepare for the Spider
"I actually think I'm going to bring in, you know Uriah Hall from The Ultimate Fighter? He has some cool kicks and stuff like that. I actually fought him before too," Weidman said during an appearance on Chokes and Jokes.
"If you get caught standing still, looking at him, he's going to freaking kick you right in the face. You got to be moving either getting out of there or you're moving forward. [Uriah Hall] is another guy, if you stand there with him, he's going to kick your head off. It has to be the same strategy. You move forward, you punch him and go for takedowns."
While Hall is certainly a talented striker, it will be no small task for him to prepare "The All American" for the 185 lb. king. Silva picked up his 11th title defense and 15th consecutive UFC win at UFC 148 with an incredible 2nd round TKO over Chael Sonnen. He followed that off with a complete demolition of Stephan Bonnar in October.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals to replace Whisenhunt and pursue Andy Reid?
Speculation about a potential shakeup within the Arizona Cardinals organization is running rampant, with reports here and here, among other places.
One of the questions people ask, though, is if the Cardinals do indeed fire their coach of the last six seasons, who will they get to replace him?
Sports Illustrated's Don Banks wrote that Arizona's "collapse after a 4-0 start this season is expected to lead to head coach Ken Whisenhunt and the team parting ways," while also noting that general manager Rod Graves is not expected to retain his role.
But it's who he speculates could come to the Valley that's interesting.
The Cardinals could choose to pursue Reid as their next head coach, and Reid probably has Arizona on the list of clubs he's most interested in. After all, he would be reunited with quarterback Kevin Kolb, the former Eagle who was dealt to Arizona in 2011, and there is talent on the defensive side of the Cardinals' roster.
But again, Reid's salary level might deter Arizona. Plus, the Cardinals have gone that route before, hiring big-name former playoff-qualifying head coaches a couple times in the relatively recent past, without great results (see Buddy Ryan and Dennis Green).
Banks goes on to note the Cardinals may just decide to promote defensive coordinator Ray Horton to the head coach role while making vice president/player personnel Steve Keim the new general manager.
But it's the point about Reid that is most interesting.
The current Eagles coach has spent the last 14 seasons in Philadelphia, posting a 130-92-1 mark. His teams have posted a 19-10 postseason record, and reached Super Bowl XXXIX in 2004.
He wouldn't come cheap, though, and the Eagles' struggles over the last couple seasons have put a damper on the 54-year-old's r�sum�.

Nemours is one of the largest and most widely respected pediatric orthopedic practices in the United States — and the world. In fact, Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children is ranked among the top five children's hospitals in the country for orthopedics for kids by U.S. News and World Report. Our pediatric orthopedists also have been selected as some of the Best Doctors in America®, year after year.
Our pediatric orthopedists and pediatric orthopedic teams treat children
with all kinds of conditions and injuries related to the bones, joints, muscles, and nerves.
We have specialized expertise in:
- arthrogryposis (a condition, which develops before birth, of the joints and muscles that impairs a child's ability to use the shoulders, wrists, fingers, and lower extremities)
- bone tumor (that may be benign/non-cancerous or malignant/cancerous, though benign tumors are more common)
- cerebral palsy (a condition caused by abnormalities in the parts of the brain that control muscle movement)
- congenital (present from birth) clubfoot and other complex foot problems
- gait and motion analysis (which looks at the way a child walks)
- hand/upper extremities surgery (treatment for disorders, deformities, or injuries involving the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder)
- limb length discrepancies and limb deformity (when children have limbs that are deformed or of unequal size)
- lymphedema (when there's a collection of excess fluid, called lymph, in the arms or legs)
- management of complex fractures (broken bones), including growth
plate fractures
- muscular dystrophy (a genetic disease characterized by increasing weakness of the muscles)
- orthotics (braces and other supports for bone, muscle, and
joint conditions)
- osteogenesis imperfecta (also known as brittle bone disease, a genetic disorder in which bones break easily, often from little or no
apparent cause)
- prosthetics (artificial extension that replaces a part of the body)
- residual effects of injuries or infections
- scoliosis (when a child's spine curves from side to side, like an "S" or a "C") and other spinal deformities
- skeletal dysplasias (a group of conditions characterized by
abnormalities in the growth, development, shape, or integrity of the bones and cartilage)
- spina bifida (a congenital condition that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord or its coverings)
- sports medicine injuries
Skeletal dysplasias can lead to a wide variety of medical problems, but the most common feature among them is dwarfism – defined as having a final adult height below 4'10".
The Skeletal Dysplasia Program at duPont Hospital for Children is one of the world's foremost centers in the treatment of skeletal dysplasia, offering expert, state-of-the-art medical and surgical care used to treat children with dwarfism. Our goal is to maximize your child's mobility, correct deformity, and prevent future complications.

Nemours' distinguished reputation didn't happen overnight. We've been setting the standard for pediatric orthopedic care since 1940, when Alfred I. duPont's philanthropic vision was first realized through the creation of the duPont Institute in Delaware — a place which, for 40 years, was devoted entirely to pediatric orthopedics and led by renowned pediatric orthopedists in the developing field.
Since then, the hospital has grown and so has our program. Yet its pioneering spirit remains. We've also further fulfilled the vision of Alfred I. duPont by expanding our geographic reach for orthopedics for kids through Nemours duPont Pediatrics locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as well as Nemours Children's Clinics in Jacksonville, Orange Park, and Pensacola in Florida.
Together, we share a commitment to offering procedural and technological excellence, dedicated and compassionate care, and the latest in clinical research and training. And in everything we do, we value your involvement as a key member of the care team. After all, who knows your child better than you? We want you and your family to be an active participant in the decision-making, care, and healing process.

Just going through the every-day motions of life can be challenging for children with musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions – until they come to see the experts at duPont Hospital for Children and meet WREX.
WREX (which stands for "Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton") allows children with weakness to move their arms in three-dimensional space in front of them. WREX is the brainchild of PERL (Pediatric Engineering Research Laboratory), whose biomedical engineers and students work with clinicians at Nemours' Center for Orthopedics Research and Development (CORD) to come up with engineering solutions to medical problems.
WREX is an example of one of the life-changing innovations for children pioneered right here. It's part of Nemours' promise to treat every child as we would our own.
Because of our reputation, families come from all over the globe to duPont Hospital for Children for pediatric orthopedics. And some of the children we see are considered highly complex — they may have a chronic medical condition as well as an assortment of other problems, they may be taking multiple medications, or they may be assisted by technology like a breathing machine.
Our Comprehensive, Coordinated Pediatric Orthopedic Care
To offer comprehensive, integrated care and the best possible course of treatment for your child (surgical and/or non-surgical), our pediatric orthopedists work closely with:
- subspecialty pediatric physicians
- medical imaging
- physical therapy
- occupational therapy
- rehabilitation
- your child's primary care doctor
We support all treatment with a state-of-the-art cast room, as well as on-site brace, orthotic, and prosthetic shops. And our pediatric orthopedists are constantly innovating new ways to diagnose and treat orthopedic conditions. In fact, duPont Hospital for Children was among the first in the nation to offer a Gait and Motion Analysis Lab, where we use technologically advanced techniques to analyze the way a child walks, including details like the timing of muscles, the forces produced by the motion, and the movement of various joints.
What to Expect at Our Pediatric Orthopedic Visits
No matter who your child needs to see, we're able to schedule most appointments quickly and without long wait times. We also make it easier for you to see everyone on your child's care team — families can usually meet with pediatric orthopedists and other pediatric specialists and subspecialists on a single day, all at one location.
Your first trip to any of our pediatric orthopedic centers is usually a comprehensive diagnostic visit. Allow 1 to 2 hours for this visit, which
may include:
- a thorough review of your child's medical and family history
- a review of previous medical records and X-rays
- a detailed physical examination by a pediatric orthopedist, including many measurements
- an assessment of range of joint motions and the relative length of the
limb segments
Often, we can give you a specific diagnosis in this initial evaluation. But some conditions can take time to diagnose, so we may need to do further evaluation before we can pinpoint the problem.
Once we've made a specific diagnosis, we'll tailor the treatment and management strategies to meet the needs of your child and your family.
In addition to medical care and specialist referrals, we provide emotional and psychological support to help families cope with and manage their child's condition. We also offer genetic counseling services.
One of the things parents appreciate most about our pediatric orthopedic care is our location at duPont Hospital for Children — located amid a beautiful park-like setting of huge oaks and inviting green lawns.
You'll also find:
- free valet parking
- playground
- kid-friendly waiting areas
- little red wagons (available for escorting your young children)
- gift shop
- café and cafeteria
- on-site pharmacy
- Family Resource Center (with private sleeping rooms, a library, showers, kitchenette, laundry room, and business center)
- Ronald McDonald House of Delaware (right across the street from
our campus)
When your child's treatment requires surgery or an overnight hospital stay, we'll help make your family's experience as easy and stress-free as possible.
When you choose Nemours for your child's orthopedic care, know that you're choosing the most advanced, highest quality care available when it comes to orthopedics for kids. Whatever kind of pediatric orthopedic problem you're facing, at Nemours we do whatever it takes to give your child the very best, most comprehensive and compassionate care possible.
And because we use an award-winning electronic medical record (EMR), your child's entire health care team has instant access to information about your child's progress and treatment — so that everyone is always on the same page at the same time.
We welcome all kids with orthopedic problems, regardless of how simple or complex their condition (and their care) might be. Our goal is always to improve children's quality of life — and help kids be kids, no matter what medical condition they face.
What to Expect With Pediatric Surgery
If your child needs surgery, you can trust our pediatric surgical team at Nemours. Our pediatric surgical specialists (surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses) understand what kids need, psychologically and physically. Our guidebook provides step-by-step instructions and information about what to expect before, during and right after surgery at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children.

|Batchelor, John. Lady Trevelyan and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. London: Chatto & Windus, 2006.
Lynn Linder will present "Writing the Angel out of the House: The Diaries of Pauline Trevelyan, 1816-1866" from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Thursday, April 14, in McGannon Hall, Room 144.
Everyone is welcome. Bring your lunches. Refreshments will be provided.
Hope to see you there.
About the talk:
The phrase, "angel in the house," taken from the title of Coventry Patmore's 1854 poem, became synonymous with the publically touted vision of ideal femininity in Victorian Britain.
Represented in countless works of literature and non-fiction, the model Victorian woman was a submissive wife, devoted mother, and paragon of moral virtue, who remained in her proper place within the domestic sphere. But what happens to this socially constructed vision of womanhood when we look beyond published texts and explore the private writings of Victorian women?
In her talk, Lynn M. Linder examines the diary of Lady Pauline Trevelyan (1816-1866), a clergyman's daughter and wife of Naturalist and Scientist, Sir Walter Calverley Trevelyan, who was an accomplished amateur artist, art reviewer and critic, and member of the Pre-Raphaelite circle. Trevelyan's experiences reflect a life that challenges traditional notions of Victorian womanhood and the autobiographical traces she left behind -- in both content and form -- construct a female subjectivity that disrupts a strictly dichotomous conception of gender in early Victorian Britain.
Crisscrossing the pages of Trevelyan's diaries reveals multifaceted fissures along the ideological borders of private and public constructions of self, gender roles of men and women, and the domestic and publics spheres, perhaps ultimately asking us to redefine Victorian culture through the pages of women's diaries.
Lynn M. Linder is a Ph.D. candidate in the English department. Her dissertation, "Unlocking the Victorian Diary: Gender, the Journal, and Nineteenth-Century Fiction," examines male and female constructions of self within the diary form and explores the connection between diary writing practices and fictional representations of diaries in Victorian novels.

ok I know that a verizon phone is unlocked and CAN be used over seas on a GSM network even though it is CDMA. So my question is if I buy a Verizon phone from Apple store ( only three choices Verizon, Sprint, ATT) will I be able to use that on Virgin mobile prepaid here in the USA.
This is kind of important to me since I am coming back to the states and it time to update my original droid. I am reading that and have compared that there is big savings in using a prepaid plan instead of on Verizon (where I have unlimited right now). Why I still want to use Verizon phone becuse I do travel over seas often and still need that unlocked capability and only Verizon seems to have that.

The animal garden sculpture has been a common component of villas and extensive Victorian gardens for centuries. Animal statues capture and display the beauty of such wild creatures as lions and tigers without needing to worry about the dangers posed by real, live predators. The right animal statue can also add a royal, elegant touch to the backyard and often acts as a nice complement to stone garden angels and other backyard decor. Classic animal sculptures in particular seem to work especially well with other types of decor. These include such resin garden statue beauties as:
- Beaumaris, the Castle Lion Sculpture: This beautiful resin replica of a stone Welsh lion is a regal addition to any backyard and works especially well when flanking the entranceway to your garden. This two foot plus high sculpture has been carefully crafted to resemble weathered stone.
- Majestic Horse Sculpture: With a length and height of four feet, a bronze patina, and very realistic details, this is a truly majestic animal statue. This sculpture is ideal for enthusiasts of all things equine and classic, realistic animal statuary.
- Man's Best Friend Dog Statue: What can be more classic and endearing than a detailed, realistic sculpture of a faithful pet? This quality garden statue surpasses in capturing the love and loyalty shown by a four-legged member of the family.
Find these and dozens of other high quality animal statues at Design Toscano.
From now until Sunday, June 16th, enjoy free shipping on purchases of $75 or more!

What I mean is, say you took one of the great squads of history (like the record setting '80s Iowa or mid '00s 5-champ Okie State) that distanced themselves from the field outscore every other team combined? That is, if you took the top point scorer from every weight class and scored it against (for example) the Cowboys squads that featured Scott, Thompson, Espo, Hendricks, Lewis, Pendleton, Rosholt, and Mocco, is there any year where the top team outscored the college all-stars?

Shortly after her move from New Hampshire to Newtown in 1998, Nancy Lanza had good news about her troubled son.
"Adam is doing well here, and seems to be enjoying the new school," Lanza wrote to a friend back in Kingston, N.H., in a Feb. 9, 1999, email.
But Adam, 6, then diagnosed with a condition that made it difficult for him to manage and respond to sights, touch and smell, eventually struggled in the first grade at his new school — Sandy Hook Elementary.

Newtown, CT, USA
His mother would respond, touching off a 10-year educational shuffle with moves in and out of schools and programs that addressed his sensory integration disorder and another diagnosis that would come by middle school: Asperger's syndrome.
Adam would attend public school, take lessons at home, try private school for a couple of months, return to public school and attend Newtown High School, although he left after his sophomore year. He went to college at 16 and earned A's and B's — but it didn't last. He was out in a year. He then went to a community college, and dropped out in the first semester.
A series of significant life changes followed for Adam as the number of people with whom he had contact began to shrink.
His parents divorced. He abruptly cut off contact with his father, Peter, in 2010, and grew estranged from his older brother. He spent more time alone at home. His mother, who loved to travel, told friends she was grooming him to be independent someday. There were even plans to leave New England — their lifelong home — so Adam could study history and possibly earn a college degree.
But mother and son never left. Adam, now 20, had a plan of his own. He returned to Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012.
There, in a murderous rampage, he would join the lexicon of suicidal mass killers, leaving many to ponder the question of what led a 20-year-old to commit the second-deadliest school shooting in American history. A final police report has yet to be released.
In the weeks after the Newtown massacre, The Courant, in partnership with the PBS investigative news program "Frontline," contacted family members and friends on both Nancy Lanza's and Peter Lanza's side. Some who were interviewed agreed to be named while others shared information and recollections on the condition that they not be named.
Reporters also reviewed messages and emails spanning the 10 years in which Nancy Lanza wrote to close friends. In the notes, she chronicled portions of her own life, from her mysterious potentially fatal illness, to comments about her marriage, to progress reports on a young Adam.
What emerges in this exploration of a still unfolding story is a portrait of a mother, apparently devoted but perhaps misguided, struggling to find her son a place in society, and a boy, exceptionally smart in some areas, profoundly deficient in others, who never found a place in the world.
Although he had played musical instruments, studied foreign languages and had a part-time job at a computer shop, Adam remained isolated and distant.
A Stunned Nation
On Dec. 14, Adam Lanza, 20, dressed in black, wearing a utility vest with pockets stuffed with ammunition and carrying three of his mother's firearms, blasted his way into Sandy Hook Elementary.
In a six-minute rampage, armed with a Glock, a SIG Sauer and a Bushmaster rifle, he killed six women, 20 first-graders and, eventually, himself.
Before he drove to the school, he killed his mother, shooting her in the head at close range four times as she lay in bed at their home.
A stunned state and confounded nation mourned. Memorial after memorial recalled the lives of precious little ones taken too soon, and the courageous acts of their educators on that horrific school day.
There was sympathy from around the world for grieving loved ones, including an emotional visit to Newtown from President Barack Obama just days after the massacre.
There, as the nation listened, the president remembered the slain educators and children during a service at Newtown High School, saying each of the names of those who were murdered.

NPDES Permits in New England
Brayton Point Station: Final NPDES Permit
Agreement Reached for NPDES Permit at Brayton Point Station Power Plant
On December 17, 2007, EPA and Dominion Energy reached agreement to end all National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit litigation regarding Dominion's Brayton Point Station power plant in Somerset, Massachusetts and for Dominion Energy to fully implement the contested heat and flow limits required in the Station's NPDES permit. The company has agreed to retrofit Brayton Point Station's existing "open-cycle" cooling system with a "closed-cycle" cooling system to fully comply with the strict limits specified in the October 2003 final NPDES permit (approximately 95% reductions in flow and heat from current operation).
The Brayton Point Station power plant, located on the shores of Mount Hope Bay, is the largest fossil-fuel burning power plant in New England. Mount Hope Bay expands to both Massachusetts and Rhode Island waters and provides important spawning, nursery and migratory habitat for many species of fish and is a key segment of the Narragansett Bay estuary, a designated estuary of national significance under the Clean Water Act (CWA). Brayton Point Station is owned and operated by Dominion Energy.
Under current operations, each day the Brayton Point Station withdraws nearly one billion gallons of water from the Bay and circulates it through the facility to condense the steam used to produce electricity. The water is then discharged back to the Bay at elevated temperatures of up to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Operation of the current "once-through cooling system" damages or kills many aquatic organisms by "entrainment" and "impingement" in addition to elevating water temperature in the Bay.
On Oct. 6, 2003, Region I renewed Brayton Point Station's CWA permit. This new permit set strict limits for the facility's withdrawal of cooling water from, and its discharges of heated wastewater to, Mount Hope Bay. The company appealed this permit to EPA's Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) on Nov. 5, 2003. On September 27, 2007 the EAB issued its decision upholding EPA's final permit. The company subsequently appealed the EAB ruling to the Federal Court in the Fourth Circuit.
EPA has issued an administrative order containing a schedule for meeting all NPDES permit limits within 36 months of obtaining all of the required construction and operating permits and approvals. Under this schedule, Brayton Point Station may comply with its NPDES permit limits as early as the spring of 2012. The administrative order sets interim effluent limits and milestones that the company will be responsible for meeting until full permit compliance is achieved. As of December 17, 2007, Dominion Power has withdrawn its legal challenges to the final permit issued in 2003 by EPA and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
To satisfy the final permit and administrative order, Dominion Energy is planning to install natural draft cooling tower technology rather than the mechanical draft cooling tower technology. Neither the final permit nor the administrative order specifies which technology must be used to meet the permit limits. At 500 feet, the natural draft cooling towers are larger than mechanical draft cooling towers, however, the company believes that compliance based on natural draft tower technology is the preferred because of the following:
- Greater reliability due to the need for less mechanical equipment (fans, pumps, gear boxes, and heat exchangers);
- Lower adverse environment effects such as the potential for icing and fogging on the nearby highway, bridge, and other roadways.
- Experience with brackish water problematic for mechanical draft plume abatement equipment;
- Easier to mitigate potential noise impacts.
This agreement is the result of substantial contributions to the permit by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, the Rhode Island Attorney General's Office, Save the Bay, Conservation Law Foundation, Taunton River Watershed Alliance, Kickemuit River Council and many others. For additional information read the press release.
The documents contained on this page are PDF'd (portable document format) copies of the originals. These documents include a brief fact sheet and the final Permit. In addition, EPA's responses to the numerous comments received on the draft permit are contained in a document entitled "Responses to Comments: Public Review of Brayton Point Station." This document contains an executive summary and sections organized by the final permit limits and the Clean Water Act statutory authority for these limits. Appendices to this document are not included as PDF files. For a copy of the appendices, or a complete copy of all of the original documents in hard copy please contact: Damien Houlihan, Engineering Project Manager (firstname.lastname@example.com or (617) 918-1586).
Additionally, a copy of the administrative record is available for review at the offices of EPA New England at 5 Post Office Square in Boston, Massachusetts.

Your odds of outrunning a cop never were good, but they just got a whole lot worse. Officer Douglas has a Camaro. And if you run, he's gonna catch you.
Fred Douglas squirms a little bit every time he reads the officer part. To be fair, he's now Detective Douglas for the Gig Harbor Police Department. And despite what screenwriters want us to believe, detectives aren't so likely to engage in high-speed pursuits. But still, there's something cinematic about an authority paid to enforce laws who drives something that can break them so effortlessly.
His '67 owes its law-breaking facility largely to a healthy 383 – a party piece that drew Douglas' attention on eBay. "The dude selling it had sold about nine cars before and had good feedback," he said, hinting how Texas was too far out of his jurisdiction to do anything if the car wasn't as advertised. "I was still skeptical as hell but decided to risk it," he concluded.
And relieved too, at least the day it arrived. "The car came out of the transporter and sounded awesome," he said. "The body was a little rougher than I hoped, but it was still a cool car.
"Of course it happened to snow the day I was supposed to meet the truck, and he ended up being late (so). That wasn't a lot of fun." The stance that made the car look so cool on paper looked especially bad in light of the last 30 feet to his house. "I couldn't clear my driveway," he groused. "I had to construct some cheesy homemade wooden ramps just to get it in." But just as every cloud has a silver lining, this one dictated the car's course. "It convinced me to first do a RideTech setup."
Douglas, with help from Mike Ryan at Ryan's Hot Rod Repair and Howard Mackert at Mackert Automotive, transformed the car. They preserved the stock subframe and spindles but amended them with RideTech's Strong Arms and anti-roll bars. A Strange Engineering 12-bolt-style housing with a 3.73 cog on a limited-slip gear carrier replaced the smaller peg-leg axle. Rather than on leaves, it mounts to a RideTech Air Bar. Naturally, the car rides on Shock Waves front and rear.
The body remains basically unaltered. Ralph Douglas at Ralph's Customs in Gig Harbor amended the problems and shot it with PPG's Concept version of GM's Torch Red. In fact, the only notable differences are the retrofit LED taillights and 383 badges.
At the heart of that engine are an Eagle crankshaft and connecting rods. The 11:1 static compression produced by Wiseco pistons and Dart Iron Eagle heads sounds high for pump gas, but it's a possible (and necessary) figure in light of the radical profile on the COMP Cams Xtreme Energy mechanical-roller-tappet cam. COMP's roller rockers mitigate the guide wear common to fast-ramp cams.
An Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap manifold distributes fuel atomized by a Holley HP-series 750cfm carburetor. Mike Ryan at Ryan's Hot Rod Repair tailored the MSD ignition's advance curve to meet the engine's needs. Hooker 1¾-inch diameter headers black ceramic coated by Performance Coatings merge the gases into 2½-inch diameter pipes and Flowmaster 40-series Delta Flow mufflers.
The engine churns out 495 lb-ft of torque at 5,600 and 480 hp at 6,400, but it's a testimonial to smart, economical design. For starters, Douglas retained the factory parts that made sense. Thermostatic-clutch fans, for example, don't rob a single horsepower when they're not needed yet move air far better than any other design when necessary. Copper/brass radiators weigh a few pounds more than their alloy counterparts but copper transfers heat more efficiently. The Edelbrock water pump knocked a few pounds off and the Moroso accessory-drive system was a durable means to keep the alternator on the driver side despite the long pump. The 190-amp MSD alternator is a bit of a splurge, but the audio system and future electronics sort of justify it. The Proform rockers were an inexpensive and understated way to make room for the larger valvetrain.

The American liberty movement, with little argument, was pretty much born and nurtured in the environs of Boston. And that is apparently where it died.
In what can only be called the Siege of Watertown, the government essentially declared martial law in the Massachusetts town, put thousands of law-abiding Americans under house arrest and went from house to house frisking and searching homes while pointing automatic weapons at Americans. All to arrest a single teenager.
In the end, the terrorists won. America lost.
True, the dastardly crime of which the teenager is accused was vicious. Also true, the capture of the perpetrators was an important goal.
Still, in the end, it was just a crime. It certainly did not warrant the behavior of the police and military in the conduct of its �manhunt.�
A house-to-house search to hunt down a criminal is an egregious abuse of power. Your constitutional rights are more important than the capture of a criminal, even a terrorist.
Yes, the lockdown was, on its face, voluntary. But tell that to the men in black body armor wielding machine guns and tanks as they treated the public as suspects, sources of interference or targets for displays of governmental authority. Can you really give informed consent with an M16 in your face? Having had the business end of an M16 pointed at me by a government agent before, I know the answer.
The police narrative is the residents were fully cooperating with the lockdown and house-to-house search. Yet, videos taken by residents show this was not the case.
While the video of soldiers with tanks, attack helicopters and machine guns patrolling an American town and searching door-to-door was disturbing enough, the lack of an outcry from those outside the area of operations is even more disturbing.
Where, for example, is the outrage of the tea party? I am pretty sure the Sons of Liberty, the Boston group who, in 1773, destroyed 342 chests of tea by dumping them in Boston Harbor during the original Tea Party, would not have stood idly by and let government troops conduct a house-to-house search while placing the town under a form of house arrest.
Does anyone doubt Samuel Adams, if alive today, would be vehemently protesting the government�s actions?
When British soldiers murdered five innocent Americans and injured others three years before the Tea Party, did Bostonians run and cower in their homes? No, they stood their ground and only dispersed after being assured there would be a legitimate investigation into what we call today the Boston Massacre.
Then, a leading patriot and lawyer, who was deeply involved in the liberty movement, agreed to defend the soldiers to ensure a fair trial.
That lawyer, John Adams, wrote three years later: �The Part I took in Defence of � the Soldiers, procured me Anxiety. � It was, however, one of the most gallant, generous, manly and disinterested Actions of my whole Life, and one of the best Pieces of Service I ever rendered my Country. Judgment of Death against those Soldiers would have been as foul a Stain upon this Country as the Executions of the Quakers or Witches, anciently.�
Adams� defense of those soldiers is the epitome of what it means to live in a free country. Despite being the enemy and despite the heinousness of the crime, they still deserved a fair trial that complied with all the rules.
Compare that with the government�s actions after Tsarnaev was arrested. The FBI was upset that he was read his rights and allowed to consult with an attorney.
Those defending the tyrannical actions of the government during the occupation of Watertown argue the government should be able to do whatever is necessary to protect the people, even suspending civil rights.
There is a thin line between that kind of thinking and concentration camps, as I�m sure thousands of Japanese-Americans from the 1940s could attest.
However, and this there can be no denying, there is no �public safety� exception to the Constitution.
Do constitutional protections make it harder for law enforcement officials to do their jobs? Certainly.
Civil rights are easy to protect when things are fine; however, they are most important during times of peril and should never be pushed aside, especially not at the point of a government gun.

More: http://www.theverge....rtainment-plans
Microsoft is investing in TV in a big way with its next Xbox console as part of a fight for the living room. Multiple sources familiar with the company's Xbox plans have revealed to The Verge that Microsoft will introduce a feature that lets its next-generation console take over a TV and set-top box in a similar way to Google TV. We understand that the next Xbox will require an online connection to use the entertainment services, allowing them to be always-on for streaming and access to TV signals.
The functionality will work by taking a cable box signal and passing it through to the Xbox via HDMI, allowing Microsoft's console to overlay a UI and features on top of an existing TV channel or set-top box. We're told that this is a key part of the next-generation Xbox and that it will go a step further than Google's TV implementation thanks to Microsoft's partnerships with content providers. Extended support for various cable services will be rolled out gradually, but the basic functionality will be available at launch.
I think this sounds more like an intentional leak from Microsoft after last week's riot.

Erin Milligan has to surrender her cell phone to school officials before going back to college this year.
Milligan isn't being punished for violating any rules. She's just following Wyoming Catholic College's technology policy, which bans cell phones at the small liberal arts school.
And even more surprising, as someone who grew up in a generation that has never known a world without the Internet, Milligan says she likes it.
"It's a release, really, not having a cell phone," said Milligan, a 20-year-old junior from New Hampshire. "When you are no longer captivated by technology, you find your true and real self."
Also banned at Milligan's school are televisions and access to most websites in dorm rooms. Administrators allow only limited Internet connectivity throughout the campus, so students can do online research.
Before the start of each school year, Milligan and her 111 classmates at the college relinquish the devices most of their peers elsewhere use to stay constantly connected to friends, family and classmates. Student leaders lock the phones in a box in each dorm room.
Students can check them out for emergencies or if they leave campus for travel.
"We are so tech savvy these days," Milligan said. "But something that is really prevalent is our inability to genuinely communicate at a human-to-human, face-to-face level."
"We've all have the experience where you are talking to someone and their phone goes off, or their text goes off, and they stop talking to you and begin talking someone who is not there," Tonkowich said. "I'm worried about that direction in our society, where people you aren't with are more important than the people you are with."
Milligan said the students actually appreciate the freedom of being disconnected and become accustomed to the unusual policy after a few weeks at the school.
"We realize that spending too much time on a computer prohibits us from doing something that we should be doing or something that is fun," the college sophomore said. "I don't want to be someone who is just texting friends and not talking to them, and have a Facebook profile to define who I am."
"Technology is a mask and can be a deception in this world," said Milligan, who is studying to become a teacher but is also considering a life with the church. "I don't think I will be behind other people, because I will be developing something that will be dying – the ability to communicate."
The penalty for violating the technology policy is performing community service.
"We don't see this as thumbing our nose at tech and modern culture," Tonkowich said. "We're allowing a freedom and a vacation from all that so that students can work on something different: true friendship, true virtue, true study.
