The Kardashians
Lamar Odom Reportedly Fired From Dallas Mavericks for Lack of Focus
Lamar Odom announced this morning that he and the Dallas Mavericks had "mutually agreed" to go their separate ways, but sources now claim that the 32-year-old NBA player was given the boot.
According to RadarOnline, Mavs owner Mark Cuban was allegedly fed up with Lamar's bad attitude and "inconsistent effort." Apparently, our favorite Kardashian significant other didn't seem focused on basketball and the team was "concerned about how his demeanor could impact the team's younger players."
Although recent reports have blamed Lamar's disappointing performance on his participation in the Kardashian family's many shows, a source says that wife Khloe's not at fault. "She has been the smartest one in his group and has been pushing him hardest to stay focused on his job," dishes the insider.
Sadly, it seems Lamar "just couldn't get past all his issues, whatever they may be, and concentrate on playing basketball." Still, the power forward isn't completely out of the game. At the end of the season, the Mavs will have the option of trading him.
Any guess where the next season of Khloe & Lamar will take us?

Ribeye was tough! Service very slow. Teriyaki chicken overlooked and dry.

We've been dining at Chuck's for over 20 years. They have great food and friendly hostesses and servers. It's consistently good every time we dine there. The prime rib is the best in town. If you go to Chuck's you won't be disappointed. The early bird is a great value. Go there. You'll be glad you did!
Posted by Ken Olsen on 10/06/2009
When we arrived we checked with the server as to whether the 20% off coupon we had was valid. We were regular customers of this restaurant. She said she'd check with management and came back and said that it was. When we received the check the 20% discount became 5%. We sought out the manager who pointed out the fine print at the bottom that said the coupon couldn't be applied to other promotions by the restaurant. Since we had arrived before 6 we had ordered off the "Twilight Menu" a feature which has been at Chuck's ever since I can remember, and therefore were not entitled to the discount. I reminded her that we had specifically enquired as to the validity of the coupon and were not advised that it did not apply. We gave her the option of honoring the server's word or resting on the fine print. Her choice - the customer be dammed. Hard to believe in these difficult economic times. We won't go back, there are too many other customer-friendly choices around.

People are talking about Joe Scarborough's knock on House minority slurrer John Boehner, and his lazy, bar-hopping ways. But the video below reveals something that might be even worse. Watch as two Washington insider reporters literally squirm at the prospect of having to concur with Scarborough's assessment of Boehner, which Morning Joe insists is widely known and common among Hill Republicans. Neither Jim Vandehei (formerly of the WaPo, now with Politico) nor Mark Halperin can bring themselves to agree that Boehner is not a hard worker. Watch them squirm:
And recall that it's Politico, the ultimate toilet-trained, insider media village publication, that has taken up Boehner's defense. And it's not exactly a bombshell that Boehner seems to be a drunk. I mean, have you heard him talk …? He slurs like a wino!

During the sizzling summer weeks, many of you responded to the hot topics in this column with a wide range of emotions. In fact, I received so many emails, phone calls and letters that I am using today's writing to revisit the subjects that caused you to get mad, sad and glad (just to rhyme a few).
I used a tongue-in-cheek approach to gun issues that drew the ire of those who have little appreciation for hyperbole. The column facetiously suggested that the U.S. should screen potential gun buyers by using the natural curiosity of retired border agents.
It was a cheeky suggestion, but few saw the humor in it. My point was only that we need a better process to keep the dangerously mentally ill from buying guns. I still think that's a fair point.
However, I am grateful to the reader who called me out for the fuzzy math I used. It was a stat quoted by several reputable news outlets that there have been 74 school shootings since Sandy Hook. The number came from an advocacy group called "Everytown for Gun Safety."
In fact, that while there have been dozens of shootings near school campuses since Sandy Hook, there have only been 10 shootings in the same random fashion. While 10 is too many, cavalier use of statistics to prove a pet point only verifies the adage: "Statistics don't lie, but statisticians do."
Mad take 2
As if I didn't get enough potshots from gun advocates, I really stirred the pot when I wrote about immigration. It was a column I was moved to write as I watched protesters block bus loads of Honduran children.
Truthfully, I hadn't seen such an ugly mob since white supremacists stoned bus loads of civil rights protesters in the '60s. I wrote the story through the eyes of my daughter, Sara, who begins teaching sixth grade in Honduras next month.
Immigration is a complicated subject, but I had hoped to garner a kinder response to help my daughter buy books for Honduran children.
Fortunately, not all of you got mad. A dozen readers pledged enough support so that Sara will return to Honduras carrying a few hundred pounds of books. If you want to know more, go to https://fundly.com/books-for-honduras.
Two months ago, I asked you to pray for Krissy Flesoras in her struggle with lung cancer. Krissy is the wife of the Rev. Christopher Flesoras, a Greek Orthodox priest in Roseville, Calif., and a chaplain who served with me in the Air National Guard.
Sadly, Krissy passed away last week. The devoted mother leaves a grieving husband and two small children.
In lieu of flowers, the family is encouraging donations to a patient-driven philanthropy known as The Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation (www.lungcancerfoundation.org).
Last week, after having gladly served 28 great years, I reached my mandatory separation date and retired from the Air National Guard. Many of you congratulated me, but some expressed fear that I was also retiring my column.
To paraphrase words commonly attributed to Mark Twain, "The death of my column has been greatly exaggerated." Thankfully, I will be writing the column as long as your local editor chooses to publish it.
This news of my continued tenure will probably bring an array of emotions to the table. Some of you will be mad, some of you sad, but at the end of the day, I know at least one of us will be very glad.

Family Vacations to Ephesus, Turkey
|Ephesus ranks as Turkey's best preserved archaeological site (Karen Chen)
Ephesus, founded around 3000 B.C., rates as Turkey's most visited and best preserved archeological site. Typically the highlight of any trip to Turkey, Ephesus offers the visitor a sense of what life was like in ancient Rome. Even kids lukewarm to ruins find Ephesus' many structures and storied past fascinating, especially if touring with a knowledgeable guide.
The Lydians, Lycians, Ionians, Greeks, and Romans all passed through Ephesus. In its heyday, Ephesus, the second largest city in the Roman Empire, ranked as a prosperous port bustling with traders. Many of the important buildings that remain date to sixth-century Roman rule.
Is there a singer in your family? If so, test the amazing acoustics at the Great Theatre, built into the slopes of Mount Pion. Climb to the upper rowsstadium seating for 25,000while your soloist remains at ground level. Your performer's notes will come across loud and clear. Check the schedule, as the Great Theater still hosts concerts.
Bring binoculars so your kids can get an up-close view of some of the famous buildings' details. The cover shot of Ephesus, the one you see on most brochures, is the Library of Celsus, a two-tiered building with pillars. Built as a tomb between 110 and 135 A.D., the structure originally had three levels, and its niches held papyrus rolls. The Temple of Hadrian, known for its decorations, features Corinthian columns, a bust of the city's protector, and statues of Apollo, Hercules, and other mythical figures.
Kids like the Baths of Scholastica because the many-roomed facility, built in the first century and enlarged in the fourth, makes the complicated Roman bathing ritual a reality. Bathers undressed in the apodyterium (dressing room), then soaked in the frigidarium (cold room) as well as the tepidarium (warm room), and then sweated in the caldarium (hot room). The public latrine with its row of side by side stone "toilets" always gets a giggle.
Walking along Curettes Way, lined with the remains of a colonnade that shaded pedestrians, it's easy to picture busy shoppers and along the Marble Road imagine chariots carrying the well-born.
Ephesus is located just outside Selçuk, which has the Ephesus Museum, a collection of statues, busts, and ceramics from the site. In Selçuk, as well as in Kuşadasi, about 14 miles away, you can book tours to Ephesus.
Tip: Enter at the Magnesia Gate, the Upper Gate, so that your walk is downhill. Leave through the lower gate. Especially in summer, arrive early as the noon-day sun can be unbearable.

Challenges Ahead for FCC Over Internet Rules
D.C. Circuit strikes down 'Open Internet' regulations.
The Federal Communications Commission once again has come up short in its attempt to regulate broadband Internet service providers, but the decision last week by a divided panel of federal appellate judges in some ways also strengthened the agency's hand — and sets the stage for a potentially epic showdown over new rules.

Washington U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) today joined Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) in introducing the Taxpayers Right to Know Act, a bill that would require every federal agency to produce an annual report card for each of its programs. The bill requires each government program to be identified and described, including the total administrative costs of the program, expenditures for services, number of beneficiaries who receive assistance from the program, and an estimate of the number of staff, including contractors, who administers the program.
For too long, Congress has directed money from the pockets of hardworking Americans into nearly opaque federal agencies, where its efficacy and use were nearly impossible to track, Senator Scott said. We cannot credibly talk about getting our fiscal house in order without addressing the $200 billion spent in waste and duplication in our government each year, and this bill would take a commonsense step in requiring agencies to document their programs, activities, and administrative costs. The American people deserve to know where their money is going, and I am hopeful that Senator Reid will allow this bill to see the light of day with a vote on the Senate floor.
This bill would address this overlap and unnecessary duplication by also requiring the following: a listing of other programs within the federal government with duplicative or overlapping missions and services; the latest performance reviews for the program, including the metrics used to review the program; the latest improper payment rate for the program, including fraudulent payments; and the total amount of unspent and unobligated program funds held by the agency and grant recipients. This information would be updated annually and posted on-line, along with recommendations from the agency to consolidate duplicative and overlapping programs, eliminate waste and inefficiency, and terminate lower priority, outdated and unnecessary programs. A House version of the bill, authored by Representative James Lankford (R-OK), passed late last month.
In addition to Senators Coburn and Scott, the bill is cosponsored by Sens. Kelly Ayotte, (R-NH), Mark Begich (D-AK), Richard Burr (R-NC), Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Susan Collins (R-ME), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Ron Johnson (R-WI), John McCain (R-AZ), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Rand Paul (R-KY), Jim Risch (R-ID), David Vitter (R-LA), and Mark Warner (D-VA).

"I recently stayed here for a conference held downtown and it was my first time to visit Indianapolis. This was the perfect home. It is close to many nearby eateries and grocery stores and convenient for getting downtown. There is a great welcome book with directions for getting around and suggested places. Claudia and Steve were fantastic and made sure that I had everything I needed. The cottage is beautiful, spacious, and the outdoor gardens were lovely. Traveling alone, I felt very safe staying here. This is a very comfortable, quiet, and amazing place to stay and I cannot say enough good things about the home and the homeowners. I would definitely recommend this cottage and I look forward to staying here again next time I visit IN."Guest: Laura W. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 14, 2015View listing

Alicia Silverstone's Baby-Feeding Controversy Builds
The actress Alicia Silverstone, who is also known for her animal rights activism and advocacy of a vegan diet, has been in the news this week over a widely-circulated video that shows her chewing food and then feeding it to her 11-month-old son Bear Blu directly from her mouth.
In addition to general reaction–either repulsion or support–a growing number of health experts are weighing in on whether the practice is healthy or even safe. The Los Angeles Times reports that a 2009 research paper actually advocated for "premastication," arguing that it can boost a child's immune system.
But others are criticizing Silverstone, calling the practice dangerous. Swapping food from mouth to mouth puts kids at risk of catching a cold and can contribute to tooth decay, or worse.
"Word is Alicia Silverstone chews her food for her child. Don't follow in her footsteps," Delta Dental of Iowa tweeted this morning. "You can pass dental disease!"
"Bacteria are passed when items contaminated with saliva go into a child's mouth," the insurance company warned in a recent press release. "Most parents don't know they can pass harmful bacteria from their mouth to their baby's mouth, which can put their child at an increased risk for cavities."
As for Silverstone, she posted the videos on her website The Kind Life, saying that Bear Blu, " literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I'm eating." The meal she's feeding him in the video is vegetables from a miso soup she was having for breakfast.

Delta Dental knows what they are talking about. Babies don't yet have the bacterias in their mouth that adults do. Premastication transfers sickness, too.
That being said… It's still her child and she can do whatever she wants. It's not abuse or anything. It's not exactly smart though.

As a mother of a 17 month old boy, I was outraged to watch this video. I think it is unsanitary at the very least, not to mention disrespectful to spit her chewed up food into her child's mouth like she is showing a trick. I'm sure most kids would do whatever their Mommy wants them too, this poor child doesn't know any better. Why isn't she teaching her son to chew and swallow his own food, using his own gums, teeth, saliva and digestive enzymes? He will one day realize he is the only kid around eating food from his mother's mouth. I still breastfeed my son and do everything I can to keep him healthy, but I think Alicia is doing this more for the shock factor than its "benefits".

Just like the sleeping with baby in bed issue. People do it all over the world. Just like most of the world doesn't have cribs and sleep with their babies, most of the world doesn't have jarred baby food or baby food processors. This has been done for centuries and we don't have a mouth bacteria epidemic. Bekki, I am outraged that some Americans are so closed minded.

I agree with Paula, there are many people who do this. Yes, I'm sure it has it's risk and I wouldn't choose to do that with my little one but it certainly doesn't make it wrong or make her a bad mother. Her son is 11 months old, he appears to be very healthy, and I'm pretty sure he will not be traumatized by this so just let her be a mother and do what she thinks is best.

People believeing that she is making the wrong decision should just do what people here just Dont Know How to Do. Mind their own damn busniess.
Still breastfeeding your son and maybe issues have come up where people dont want to see or even read about your tit in a babes mouth cause it seems gross, but you exposed that much about yourself already.
How children are cared for, how much they are loved, however they are shown love does not matter because love is there.
It begins to matter to strangers, people who do not matter to them, strangers with no children, strangers with "perfect children" because they have come from perfect parents.
Doctors can express their opinions, so can other moms or dads, but unless you are her doc, her childs doc, her friend, you dont know jack.
be the perfect parect and show your perfect child raising skilld and "be the better person" "mind you own busness" "DON'T POINT"

Those of you condemning her for her actions would be indignant if anyone had the temerity to call you on some of your rearing practices. This is a real case of "mind your own business". She is obviously taking care of her child and seemingly doing a fine job of it. You naysayers are a bunch of hand wringing morons who should get back in the kitchen where you belong. Now go make me a sammich.

There may be an increased of dental decay due to this practice–I admit I'm not well researched on that topic. I wonder how it compares, however to the dental decay caused by bottles of juice or babies falling asleep drinking milk, which is well documented. Or the typical high carbohydrate diet (which I'm sure would be a concern for a vegetarian as much as any other) for toddlers.
At any rate, this falls very low on my radar for parenting practices that I'm going to be indignant about. Personally, I think it's a bit strange as a regular practice, but I admit to occasionally having bit off a tiny piece of this or that for my baby who was attacking my plate. I have a friend whom I've observed "prechewing" the occasional morsel for her baby, but I shrug and enjoy the visit. Everyone does things differently, and as other comments have reflected, this is hardly child abuse.
Billy–I've got a roasted red pepper and cream cheese sammich right here, I'll let you have a bite. You want I should chew it up for you or not?

People forget that, before the days of eating utensils, this is was a necessary action to ensure the survival of an older infant, and it was not necessarily done by just the mother. As for passing on viruses, you do that just by breathing around the baby. (I was sick more in my first year of motherhood from exposure to other peoples germs via my baby than I have ever been, before or since) Dental bacteria? Can't be much worse than exposure to juice and milk. Brush the gums and teeth, they should be fine.

Before there was jars of baby food this was THE ONLY was they had to begin a child on solid foods. It didn't kill our ancestors or you wouldn't be here to complain.

First want to say, BRAVO… to all the people standing up for Alicia Silverston. Paula hit it right on the head. I just want to say that, WHO ELSE IN THE WORLD DOES NOT DO THIS??? I rather see her feeding her child, than seeing some clip of her abusing or neglecting her child, then we all would have something to say then. Yes I do feed my child and break up some of the food in smaller bits so she doesn't choke. I'm sure my mother did it with me and my grandmother with her, and the lists goes on. I will take in consideration about the dental issue because that is new to me, but I will NEVER throw stones at Ms. Silverstone or anybody at that matter if they want to continue in feeding THEIR child in that manner. Even if Parents do not pre-process the food for them and do this with hands or fork and knife, the kids are still subject to getting cavites or whatever kind of disease anyway, if their eating all kinds of junk food! So let's move on from this petty issue about a GOOD mother who feeds her child and isn't taking advantage of her Parental rights and move on to some of those other folk that gets away with doing far worse with their child, as well as keeping them in Prayer!

I think it looks degrading to require your child to eat food that has been chewed. Dogs in California get better treatment than this. Children deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Just because a child is yours, doesnt allow you the freedom to do whatever you want to them when they are too little to speak for themselves. This looks like something that would cause a parent to lose custody, but because she is rich and famouse we say that she is just progressive. As for the argument that other cultures sleep with their children and practice these sorts of things, that is because they have to. There probably isnt a mom in africa that would say no to another bedroom and crib for their baby and some jars of baby food for them to eat by themselves.

Seriously? It's disappointing to see how some people are so judgmental. I wouldn't do it to my son but however I do still breastfeed him and he is 15months AND (gasp) we co-sleep. I'm sure plenty of people have something to say about that, and a few have. What about we all do what works best for us and not be so harsh about how others choose to do things? Being a mom is demanding and stressful enough, we don't need other moms bashing our choices just because it's not for them!

It's unsanitary and since the food starts nourishing once you put it in your mouth, he's not going to get the same amount of nutrition as he would if she would just put it in a food processor. So basically, the kid is getting a tiny amount less of nutrition and possible illness. As for other countries doing it and age old insult of Americans being closed-minded blah blah blah: if those people in other countries DID have access to food processors, I guarantee you, they would use them. They aren't just chewing up their baby's food because they think it's so fun or because there's some sort of amazing spiritual connection to it that us closed-minded Americans just can't understand. They do it because that's all they have. I highly doubt Alicia Silverstone doesn't own some sort of food processor.

I was previously able to grab 100 of saved material of items that interest me, if i would have known the web has all this, i would likely have tried to get it before then in my 60s. My favourite bookmark so far, that i visit nearly any other evening is Watch Nude Celebs, its fine! I wanted to follow those behaviors of these other posters in this article which say thanks generously all over. What a unexpected warm and friendly community in this article. Seems the internet is stuffed with polite men and women. Finest Regards and a blessed week to everybody!

The New Mexico State athletics department will be running a series called "Getting to Know Your Aggie Men's Basketball Team" for the next week, so that when the team takes the court against UTEP, Nov. 15, you will know about the student-athletes that will be taking the court this year. AggieUp!
San Antonio, Texas, native Travon Landry is a freshman this year here at NM State. He joined the Crimson and White after playing the 2012-13 season at Huntington Prep in Huntington, W. Va., under coach Rob Fulford. Landry helped Huntington to a 30-3 record and No. 7 ranking in the USA today Super 25. In 2011-12, Landry played his junior season at Bob Jones High School in Madison, Ala., before transferring to Huntington Prep. He guided the Patriots to an overall record of 29-2 and a semifinals appearance in the Alabama Class 6A Area 15 Tournament. He played AAU basketball with the Alabama Challenge under Robert Shannon. Landry's full name is Travon Landry but his teammates call him Tray. Landry is 18-years-old, he was born March 11, 1995. Landry is a Business major. He decided to come to NM State because of great visits with associate head coach Paul Weir. An interesting fact that most people don't know about Landry is that he used to live in South Korea. Landry has one brother, Jonathon, who is 22-years-old. Landry's favorite athlete is Chauncey Billups and his favorite team is the Houston Rockets. Landry's favorite music artist is Jay-Z. If Landry could have one super power he would want to be fast like the superhero Flash. Before every game Landry does a pregame ritual, which includes praying. Landry is the son of John and Tracy Landry.

More details are popping up surrounding Chris Brown and Rihanna's Sunday night slug-fest, and cops are now saying they may have a "kinda weak" case. The fight between the two clean cut pop stars erupted after Chris received a bootycall text message (not from Keshia Chante, apparently). Chris starting hitting RiRi during their fight, and she then faked a phone call to a friend, requesting that police be present when Chris dropped her off at home.
This set Chris off even more, and he apparently dropped a threat along the lines of "You are really f*cked up now. I'm going to kill you." He then began pummeling the singer, who somehow managed to grab his keys out of the ignition and toss them out the window.
But the worst of the latest news to leak is that Rihanna told cops that this was not their first altercation; Chris has apparently been violent with her before. And though the D.A. is still investigating the case to decide how to prosecute (hence, the fact that it may be "weak"), it looks like it's Brown who is "really f*cked up now." [TMZ.

We often hear in anti-Catholic circles moaning and groaning about how given to personal attack Catholic apologists and Catholics in forums, supposedly are. I thought it would be quite instructive to note how many such elements are included in Reformed anti-Catholic apologist Steve Hays' review of Scott Hahn's book, Reasons to Believe. Ad hominem is, of course, a logical fallacy.
With this many fallacies occurring in the review, I would contend that serious doubt is cast upon Hays' own competence. Why should anyone pay particular attention to the arguments that he actually does make if he has to pepper them so liberally with these inane and irrelevant fallacies and insults? In other words, he himself loses credibility in acting in such a manner. But he doesn't seem to notice this.
He was apparently utterly unable to simply stick to a critique of the arguments in the book. He had to make it personal, and make out that Dr. Hahn is a clueless imbecile who is systematically dishonest in his presentations. Is this really necessary? Even if we grant the anti-Catholic the license to make their usual misguided arguments, I don't see why personal attacks and non-substantive, mind- and heart-reading accusations are frequently a key aspect of their critiques (even by their own dubious criteria of what a reasonable critique is supposed to look like):
If there's one word to summarize his method, it's "equivocation."Moreover, Hays makes the following mind-numbingly idiotic remarks about the Blessed Virgin Mary (sounds like anti-Marianism leads to its own set of "blubbering imbecil[ities]"):
He often engages in prooftexting, but the actual meaning of the text always falls short of what he needs it to mean, . . . It reminds me of some Mormon flyers I've read, which have verses from both the Bible and the Mormon apocrypha to prove their point. Needless to say, it's only the Mormon prooftexts which really assert Mormon dogma.
In reading these chapters we need to keep our eye on the constant gear-shifting, as he goes from what the Bible really says to his idiosyncratic interpretations and fallacious inferences.
. . . Hahn has no excuse to mislead the reader this way.
. . . Hahn's simplistic misrepresentation.
As a one-time evangelical himself, Hahn must know this, but he prefers to deceive the reader.
Once again, this is sometimes true, but misleading:
Observe the way he oscillates between the "Bible" and the "New Testament," as if these were synonyms. This equivocation, which is really a bait-and-switch scam, enables him to make "self-evident" claims that are hardly self-evident if you substituted the "Old Testament" for the "New Testament."
There is also a fatal equivocation in his comparison.
This is quite deceptive, for none of these local councils or synods qualify as ecumenical councils. Another one of Hahn's studied equivocations.
Because he's in the habiting of defaulting all answers to "the Church," he doesn't stop to think if what he's saying makes a lick of sense.
Look at the blinding effect that Roman Catholicism has had on Hahn's reading of Scripture.
Needless to say, his characterization of Roman Catholicism is utterly tendentious.
Hahn mouths a lot of formulaic phrases without given any thought to the nonsense he's mouthing.
This is one of the many problems with Catholicism: they begin with their dogmatic conclusions and then cast about for a prooftext (or, should I say, pretext?) to supply the premise. Otherwise, Hahn would never come up with such an absurdly acontextual and self-defeating interpretation. But how many of his devoted, Catholic readers will pause for a moment to ask themselves whether this makes any sense?
Observe the deceptive way in which he turns the exception into the rule.
Is there some overriding reason why a Catholic seminary professor needs to be this incompetent? What we have here is a textbook semantic anachronism. He makes the elementary mistake of confusing words with concepts, and confounds that error with the further mistake of confusing Biblical usage with dogmatic usage.
There's a pattern to Hahn's apologetic: begin with Catholic dogma, fish around for a prooftext that, in reality, doesn't come close, and ignore any counterexamples.
Is that supposed to be an argument? Is such a question-begging answer the best he can do?
Other issues aside, Hahn is equivocating.
Notice how Mariolatry reduces otherwise intelligent men to blubbering imbeciles. They'll mouth any bit of pious nonsense, however palpably absurd.
Another one of Hahn's equivocations. A "mortal sin" is a technical term in Catholic theology. Hahn is reading that specialized meaning back into 1 John. It's a semantic anachronism to confound dogmatic usage with biblical usage. Is Hahn so linguistically naïve that he doesn't know that?
A reader who relied on Hahn for his knowledge of Catholicism would have no idea what a skewed picture he's getting. Hahn poses as a representative of Catholic dogma, but his exegetical argumentation is hardly representative of mainstream Catholicism.
Hahn has cast the issues as if this is a debate between Catholic exegesis and Evangelical exegesis—whereas it would more often be an internal debate between a retrograde convert and soapbox polemicist like Hahn over against mainstream Catholic scholarship.
Instead, Hahn is caught in some Victorian time-warp.
So many Roman Catholics simply give up doing exegesis. There's no attempt to establish the actual meaning of the text. They default every interpretation to Catholic dogma regardless of what the text actually says. [implied that Hahn is a prime example of same]
Hahn gushes like one of those "royal watchers" who go gaga over the pomp and circumstance, as well as the tawdry affairs, of the royal family.
So she didn't suckle Jesus or bake bread or fetch water. I guess she had a nanny, wet-nurse, and maid to take over all of the domestic duties while she assumed a lotus position twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. . . . with all due respect to the classic Reformers, did Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, or Wesley have some inside knowledge about what Mary and Joseph did behind closed doors? Did they have a hidden camera in their bedroom?

Did anything else happen in the world yesterday? Kim Kardashian's divorce announcement was pretty much all we could pay attention to, so you'll have to fill us in on any other news. The gossip hounds were busy gathering rumors why her marriage to Kris Humphries lasted only 72 days. Here's a roundup of everything we know, or think we know, so far:
» Kim left with Khloe and Lamar Odom for Australia, where the sisters were already scheduled to promote their handbag line. Kim wasn't wearing a ring.
» Kris doesn't seem to have been in on Kim's decision. He was photographed wearing his ring yesterday, and his statement sounds pretty shocked, "I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce," he said in a statement. "I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents."
» Kim agonized over the decision to file all weekend long, sources told TMZ.
» Kris reportedly hired a Hollywood publicist over the weekend to help work on his branding.
» Kris and Kim had been fighting over his desire to move to Minnesota eventually. A promo for Kourtney and Kim Take New York shows this stinging exchange: "How am I going to have my career and live in Minnesota?" she asks. And he replies, "Baby, by the time you have kids and they're in school, no one will care about you."
» Geography was actually a problem from the get-go: "We have to find our home base," she told People. "He lives in Miami and Minnesota. I'm in L.A., so we had to find where that home base is going to be. We're waiting for the lockout to end to see where he's going to play."
» Kim can keep the $2 million engagement ring, under California law, TMZ says. And according to their prenup, the couple's assets were kept completely separate, so there's nothing else to be divided.
» According to actress and comedian Heather MacDonald, a friend of the Kardashians, Kris was at fault. "I actually thought [Kim] would stay married for like a year to save face," she told Us. "I actually had respect for her that she did it on the [72nd] day [of marriage]. I do think she likes to be in love, and I do think she loved him the day they married. Being at the wedding, they seemed like a couple totally into each other. But they were only dating for six months before that."
»The Internet wasn't too kind to Kim, and her sisters rushed to her defense on Twitter: "Reading some these comments r so hurtful. Im grateful 4our fans who understand & r being respectful. Hate is disgusting. Love is everything," Khloe tweeted.
» The rest of Kim's family also spoke to the press. Stepdad Bruce Jenner told TMZ that "Kim's doing great."
"My sister is obviously going through a lot and we're obviously very supportive of whatever decision she makes," Rob told E! backstage at Dancing With the Stars. "We're just here as her family just to be with her and be on her side for whatever."

DURHAM, N.H. -- Robin Balducci, the head coach of the University of New Hampshire field hockey team, announced Thursday that five recruits have signed a national letter of intent to join the program in 2001.
The list of the incoming UNH student-athletes is: Heidi Anderson (Hampton Falls, N.H.), Lauren Bruce (Amherst, N.Y.), Christine Buckley (Walpole, Mass.), Jenn Harrison (Hanover, Mass.) and Jen Martha (Cheshire, Conn.).
"This incoming freshman class will rank amount one of the most talented in my career here at UNH," said Balducci, who was named America East Coach of the Year in 2000 and 1998. "This class is well-balanced positionally. We are looking forward to these athletes making an immediate impact on our program."
Anderson, a two-sport athlete at Winnacunnet High School, was named to the All-State and Class L All-Star teams in her senior. Other honors included USFHA/STX Northeast All-American, Boston Globe All-Star Team,Foster's Daily Democrat Player of the Year, Portsmouth Herald Player of the Year and U.S. Field Hockey Player of the Week. Anderson served as captain in both field hockey and indoor track.
Bruce, who comes to Durham from Amherst High School, garnered Regional All-America honors, as well as All-State, All-Western New York, ECIC First Team and team MVP. The team captain, Bruce broke the school record for career points with 59 goals and 51 assists. She is expected to play at back or midfield at New Hampshire.
Buckley carries an impressive resume to New Hampshire from Walpole High School, where she was a four-year letterwinner in both field hockey and lacrosse as a goalie. In 87 career field hockey games, Buckley recorded 66 shutouts - a national record - as Walpole won the MIAA state title in 1998 and 1999 and was runner-up in 2000. Buckley, the captain and team MVP in 2000, has been involved in the National Futures program since 1998 and was selected to the '98 AAU Junior Olympics. She was named a Regional All-American, Bay State League All-Star and Boston Herald All-Scholastic Team in both 2000 and 1999. Buckley was also selected Boston Globe Player of the Year in 2000.
Harrison, a midfielder, lettered in field hockey, ice hockey and lacrosse at Thayer Academy. She recorded 13 goals and four assists to lead the field hockey team to the 2000 NEPSAC (New England Private Schools) Class B championship; she netted the game-winning goal in both the semifinal and final game.

What is botnet?
A botnet is a collection of infected computers or bots that have been taken over by hackers (also known as bot herders) and are used to perform malicious tasks or functions. A computer becomes a bot when it downloads a file (e.g., an email attachment) that has bot software embedded in it. A botnet is considered a botnet if it is taking action on the client itself via IRC channels without the hackers having to log in to the client's computer. A botnet consists of many threats contained in one. The typical botnet consists of a bot server (usually an IRC server) and one or more botclients.
Like many things on the Internet today, bots began as a useful tool without malicious overtones. Bots were originally developed as a virtual individual that could sit on an IRC channel and do things for its owner while the owner was busy elsewhere. Soon after the release of the first IRC bot, a few worms had exploited vulnerabilities in IRC clients and used the bots to steal passwords, log keystrokes, and hide their identity. The main drivers for botnets are for recognition and financial gain. The larger the botnet, the more 'kudos' the herder can claim to have among the underground community. The bot herder will also 'rent out' the services of the botnet to third parties, usually for sending out spam messages, or for performing a denial of service attack against a remote target. Due to the large numbers of compromised machines within the botnet, huge volumes of traffic (either email or denial of service) can be generated. However, in recent times, the volume of spam originating from a single compromised host has dropped in order to thwart anti-spam detection algorithms – a larger number of compromised hosts send a smaller number of messages in order to evade detection by anti-spam techniques.
Botnets have become a significant part of the Internet, albeit increasingly hidden. Due to most conventional IRC networks taking measures and blocking access to previously-hosted botnets, controllers must now find their own servers. Often, a botnet will include a variety of connections and network types. Sometimes a controller will hide an IRC server installation on an educational or corporate site where high-speed connections can support a large number of other bots. Exploitation of this method of using a bot to host other bots has proliferated only recently.
Several botnets have been found and removed from the Internet. The Dutch police found a 1.5 million node botnet and the Norwegian ISP Telenor disbanded a 10,000-node botnet. In July 2010, the FBI arrested a 23-year old Slovenian held responsible for the malicious software that integrated an estimated 12 million computers into a botnet. Large coordinated international efforts to shut down botnets have also been initiated. It has been estimated that up to one quarter of all personal computers connected to the internet may be part of a botnet. Conflicker is one of the largest botnets out there that has infected an estimated 1 million to 10 million machines which attempts to sell fake antivirus to its victims but ironically it remains so quiet.
While botnets are often named after their malicious software name, there are typically multiple botnets in operation using the same malicious software families, but operated by different criminal entities.
While the term "botnet" can be used to refer to any group of bots, such as IRC bots, this word is generally used to refer to a collection of compromised computers (called zombie computers) running software, usually installed via drive-by downloads exploiting web browser vulnerabilities, worms, Trojan horses, or backdoors, under a common command-and-control infrastructure.
A botnet's originator (aka "bot herder" or "bot master") can control the group remotely, usually through a means such as IRC, and usually for nefarious purposes. Individual programs manifest as IRC "bots". Often the command-and-control takes place via an IRC server or a specific channel on a public IRC network. This server is known as the command-and-control server ("C&C"). Though rare, more experienced botnet operators program their own commanding protocols from scratch. The constituents of these protocols include a server program, client program for operation, and the program that embeds itself on the victim's machine (bot). All three of these usually communicate with each other over a network using a unique encryption scheme for stealth and protection against detection or intrusion into the botnet network.
A bot typically runs hidden and uses a covert channel (e.g. the RFC 1459 (IRC) standard, twitter or IM) to communicate with its C&C server. Generally, the perpetrator of the botnet has compromised a series of systems using various tools (exploits, buffer overflows, as well as others; see also RPC). Newer bots can automatically scan their environment and propagate themselves using vulnerabilities and weak passwords. Generally, the more vulnerabilities a bot can scan and propagate through, the more valuable it becomes to a botnet controller community. The process of stealing computing resources as a result of a system being joined to a "botnet" is sometimes referred to as "scrumping."
Botnet servers will often liaise with other botnet servers, such that a group may contain 20 or more individual cracked high-speed connected machines as servers, linked together for purposes of greater redundancy. Actual botnet communities usually consist of one or several controllers that rarely have highly-developed command hierarchies between themselves; they rely on individual friend-to-friend relationships.
The architecture of botnets has evolved over time, and not all botnets exhibit the same topology for command and control. Depending upon the topology implemented by the botnet, it may make it more resilient to shutdown, enumeration, or command and control location discovery. However, some of these topologies limit the saleability and rental potential of the botnet to other third-party operators. Typical botnet topologies are:
- Star
- Multi-server
- Hierarchical
- Random
To thwart detection, some botnets were scaling back in size. As of 2006, the average size of a network was estimated at 20,000 computers, although larger networks continued to operate.
Types of attacks
- Denial-of-service attacks where multiple systems autonomously access a single Internet system or service in a way that appears legitimate, but much more frequently than normal use and cause the system to become busy.
- Adware exists to advertise some commercial entity actively and without the user's permission or awareness, for example by replacing banner ads on web pages with those of another content provider.
- Spyware is software which sends information to its creators about a user's activities – typically passwords, credit card numbers and other information that can be sold on the black market. Compromised machines that are located within a corporate network can be worth more to the bot herder, as they can often gain access to confidential information held within that company. There have been several targeted attacks on large corporations with the aim of stealing sensitive information, one such example is the Aurora botnet.
- E-mail spam are e-mail messages disguised as messages from people, but are either advertising, annoying, or malicious in nature.
- Click fraud is the user's computer visiting websites without the user's awareness to create false web traffic for the purpose of personal or commercial gain.
- Access number replacements are where the botnet operator replaces the access numbers of a group of dial-up bots to that of a victim's phone number. Given enough bots partake in this attack, the victim is consistently bombarded with phone calls attempting to connect to the internet. Having very little to defend against this attack, most are forced into changing their phone numbers (land line, cell phone, etc.).
- Fast flux is a DNS technique used by botnets to hide phishing and malware delivery sites behind an ever-changing network of compromised hosts acting as proxies.
Preventive measures
If a machine receives a denial-of-service attack from a botnet, few choices exist. Given the general geographic dispersal of botnets, it becomes difficult to identify a pattern of offending machines, and the sheer volume of IP addresses does not lend itself to the filtering of individual cases. Passive OS fingerprinting can identify attacks originating from a botnet: network administrators can configure newer firewall equipment to take action on a botnet attack by using information obtained from passive OS fingerprinting. The most serious preventive measures utilize rate-based intrusion prevention systems implemented with specialized hardware. A network based intrusion detection system (NIDS) will be an effective approach when detecting any activities approaching botnet attacks. NIDS monitors a network, it sees protected hosts in terms of the external interfaces to the rest of the network, rather than as a single system, and get most of its results by network packet analysis.
Some botnets use free DNS hosting services such as DynDns.org, No-IP.com, and Afraid.org to point a subdomain towards an IRC server that will harbor the bots. While these free DNS services do not themselves host attacks, they provide reference points (often hard-coded into the botnet executable). Removing such services can cripple an entire botnet. Recently, these companies have undertaken efforts to purge their domains of these subdomains. The botnet community refers to such efforts as "nullrouting", because the DNS hosting services usually re-direct the offending subdomains to an inaccessible IP address. Similarly, some botnets implement custom versions of well-known protocols. The implementation differences can be used for fingerprint-based detection of botnets. For example, Mega-D features a slightly modified SMTP protocol implementation for testing the spam capability. Bringing down the Mega-D's SMTP server disables the entire pool of bots that rely upon the same SMTP server.
The botnet server structure mentioned above has inherent vulnerabilities and problems. For example, if one was to find one server with one botnet channel, often all other servers, as well as other bots themselves, will be revealed. If a botnet server structure lacks redundancy, the disconnection of one server will cause the entire botnet to collapse, at least until the controller(s) decides on a new hosting space. However, more recent IRC server software includes features to mask other connected servers and bots, so that a discovery of one channel will not lead to disruption of the botnet.
Several security companies such as Afferent Security Labs, Symantec, Trend Micro, FireEye, Umbra Data and Damballa have announced offerings to stop botnets. While some, like Norton AntiBot(discontinued), are aimed at consumers, most are aimed to protect enterprises and/or ISPs. The host-based techniques use heuristics to try to identify bot behavior that has bypassed conventional anti-virus software. Network-based approaches tend to use the techniques described above; shutting down C&C servers, nullrouting DNS entries, or completely shutting down IRC servers.
Newer botnets are almost entirely P2P, with command-and-control embedded into the botnet itself. By being dynamically updateable and variable they can evade having any single point of failure. Commanders can be identified solely through secure keys and all data except the binary itself can be encrypted. For example a spyware program may encrypt all suspected passwords with a public key hard coded or distributed into the bot software. Only with the private key, which only the commander has, can the data that the bot has captured be read.
Newer botnets have even been capable of detecting and reacting to attempts to figure out how they work. A large botnet that can detect that it is being studied can even DDoS those studying it off the internet.
There is an effort by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories to analyze the behavior of these botnets by simultaneously running one million Linux kernels as virtual machines on a 4,480-node Dell high-performance computer cluster.

Later today, MESSENGER will begin its 100th orbit around Mercury. Since its insertion into orbit about the innermost planet on March 17, the spacecraft has executed nearly 2 million commands.
The data gathered so far include more than 70 million magnetic field measurements, 300,000 visible and infrared spectra of the surface, 16,000 images, and 12,000 X-ray and 9,000 gamma-ray spectra probing the elemental composition of Mercury's uppermost crust.
"As the primary orbital phase of the MESSENGER mission unfolds, we are building up the first comprehensive view of the innermost planet," states MESSENGER Principal Investigator Sean Solomon, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. "The surface is unraveling before our eyes in great detail, and the planet's topography and gravity and magnetic fields are being steadily filled in. As the Sun becomes increasingly active, Mercury's extraordinarily dynamic exosphere and magnetosphere continue to display novel phenomena."
MESSENGER continues its science-mapping phase in orbit around Mercury. All spacecraft systems remain safe and healthy, and all science instruments are on and continue to collect data according to the baseline observation plan.
"Over the next several weeks, MESSENGER's subsystems and instruments will experience their hottest temperatures yet as the spacecraft crosses between the planet's surface and our Sun at high noon close to the planet, preceded by hour-long eclipses near local midnight with only the spacecraft battery to keep the spacecraft alive in the dark of Mercury's night," notes MESSENGER Project Scientist Ralph McNutt.
"All of this was planned in great detail more than seven years ago, as was the orbit insertion burn that went so flawlessly," he adds. "Theory is one thing and reality another, and the sense of thrill leading to 'firsts' is always followed by a sense of relief, especially in the challenging environment of interplanetary space, far from home."
With less than one-sixth of its primary orbital mission completed, MESSENGER is already rewriting our books on what is known (and unknown) regarding the innermost planet, McNutt says. "By exploring our near - and far - neighbors in our solar system, we touch new knowledge, new understanding, and new wonderment about not only our own origins and place but of the other worlds circling the stars we see in our night sky."
MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) is a NASA-sponsored scientific investigation of the planet Mercury and the first space mission designed to orbit the planet closest to the Sun. The MESSENGER spacecraft launched on August 3, 2004, and entered orbit about Mercury on March 17, 2011 (March 18, 2011 UTC), to begin a yearlong study of its target planet. Dr. Sean C. Solomon, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, leads the mission as Principal Investigator. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory built and operates the MESSENGER spacecraft and manages this Discovery-class mission for NASA.

Buildings, Up and Down
Some year-end musings about architecture and drunks
by Jack Neely
The JFG Coffee factory on Jackson Avenue, which was largely responsible for downtown Knoxville's distinctively robust aroma for about 80 years, is finally empty. Nobody downtown much wanted them to leave; the decision was made for practical purposes. JFG chose to consolidate their operation in a more modern facility already in operation about two miles to the west, off Sutherland Avenue. JFG roasted its last coffee beans there this past fall.
In some places in America, and some parts of Knoxville, an abandoned factory might sit vacant for years, even decades, before anybody bothered to do anything with it. Not in downtown Knoxville, at least not this year.
It was not surprising to find out that the individual who bought the place was one David Dewhirst. Generations of the future, I suspect, may believe him to have been a Wizard. David says he means to develop the JFG plant in mixed-use manner, mostly residential, as is his habit. He aims to have it completed in about a year.
A surprisingly quick turnaround for an industrial site. But when your industrial waste is mainly burned coffee beans, maybe remediation is no big deal. Dewhirst has also purchased another old industrial building on Jackson on the other side of Gay, and has similar plans for it.
We'll miss JFG, but its absence may be good for the coffee-house trade, as downtown goes into withdrawal.
My friend Chris Wohlwend shared a fond memory of the Church Avenue Viaduct, the 1930s concrete bridge demolished this month. As I mentioned, the bridge was best known to a half-century's worth of reporters for the two dailies as one of the cheapest places to park downtown. Even when reporters don't know anything else, they know where the cheap places to park are. The meters on the farther half charged less than those on the nearer half, so over the years, hundreds of journalists got to know the old bridge pretty well.
Wohlwend, who now teaches journalism at UT, worked for the old morning Journal as a makeup editor, around 1970. Its offices were in the top of the awkwardly big brick building at the corner of Church and State, which also housed the News-Sentinel .
"Up in the engraving department," Wohlwend recalls, "we'd lean out the window and yell at all the good-looking women getting off work." Because it was a morning paper, a lot of the staff worked overnight, and a night-shift police reporter was seen parking his car on the Church viaduct and staggering out of it. The reporter is long deceased, but Wohlwend asked that we not disclose his name. He was well known and much beloved to the staff.
"He was obviously really drunk," Wohlwend says. And it was his luck that a policeman happened to be passing by on the viaduct. He arrested the reporter for public drunkenness, and took him to the police department, down the street.
Wohlwend says the reporter made only one plea, which was, as far as the defendant was concerned, persuasive: "I can't be drunk," he said. "I'm on my way to work!"
In recent years, the term façadectomy has become faddish, applied often pejoratively to crypto-preservationist projects that preserve the façade and demolish everything else. I like the term, but from an etymological point of view, I think it's more properly applied to what Home Federal's doing on Market Street.
They removed their old modernist façade, like you'd remove inflamed tonsils, and are replacing it with a new brick one designed to look a century or two older than the previous one.
I have good friends who say they hate it, but the Home Federal facade project, nearly finished on Market Street, doesn't look half bad to me. Seen from the Krutch Park perspective, it looks almost— federal . Architects are such punsters.
Over the years, I've cringed as urbane newcomers ridiculed that building's previous persona, the '60s fashion-victim modernist design of its shiny orange plastic-looking facade. Like so many of the buildings of my childhood, it looked as if it could have been assembled from a giant Erector Set. Even its Go Vols orange seemed as if it would have been more at home in a toy box.
A bank is supposed to look stable and dignified, after all, and even if the new façade is cliché, it does look dignified. Maybe dignity itself is an exalted cliché. Just lately, though, preservationists have been taking a second look at '60s architecture that struck us, not so long ago it seems, as tacky. Knox Heritage weighed in on the subject, broadly, in its last Fragile 15 listing. Without naming names, but lots of winks and nods, the group made a point of mentioning "mid-century modern" commercial buildings. Much of that genre has been lost this year. The slow work on the Crystal Building, just a few paces away from Home Federal, is turning a bold modernist building into a tame postmodernist one.
So far, the losses are little mourned by the public at large. The old IBM building at Kingston Pike and Concord had its eloquent defenders among architects and preservationists, as an ideal '50s-style modernist building. Most mere civilians I've talked to agree it looks better gone.
I know some preservationists, though, mostly younger than me, who regret the loss of Home Federal's bright modernist façade. It did give a sort of bouncy aesthetic diversity to that block. But at 48, I may be too old to get it.
Both architecture and architectural preservation is partly a matter of fashion, and poor Home Federal seems always out of step. If they'd done this facade work 10 or 15 years ago, before the gathering interest in modernist commercial buildings, they'd have been unanimously cheered.
I still regret the 2005 loss of the Sprankle around the corner as perhaps the biggest mistake downtown of this century so far, and with less-distinguished, less convenient old buildings turn into upscale condos all over the neighborhood, even the Home Federalists may be beginning to regret that decision. (Some note that the new skin on the Market Street façade bears an eerie resemblance to the Sprankle.) But I have to admit that if they'd torn down the Sprankle 20 years ago, before the widespread enthusiasm for renovating early 20th-century buildings, I probably wouldn't have noticed, and people would have complained only about the dust.
Couldn't help but admire some aesthetic commandos in Detroit who go around town targeting blighted vacant buildings at night, painting them an awful color so garish the city has no choice but to fix them up or tear them down. Their color of choice to appall the citizenry is bright orange.
