(By Balaseshan) Lexicon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: LXRX) shares soared 9.63% in premarket after the biopharmaceutical company received "Fast Track" status for irritable bowel syndrome drug candidate.
The company has received "Fast Track" status from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the development of LX1033, an orally-delivered small molecule drug candidate for diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-d).
LX1033, an inhibitor of tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) that acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract, is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial for IBS-d.
The Phase 2 trial is a randomized, double-blind study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LX1033 versus placebo in about 360 IBS-d patients, with results expected in the first half of 2013.
[Related -Stocks End Sharply Higher Amid 'Cliff' Talks; Clearwire (CLWR) Tumbles]
LX1033 is a follow-on compound to LX1031, a previous-generation oral, locally-acting TPH inhibitor developed by Lexicon which had previously shown clinical benefit in a Phase 2 trial for IBS-d. Results from the LX1031 Phase 2 trial have been published in the journal Gastroenterology.
Fast Track is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of new drugs intended to serve unmet medical needs in serious or life-threatening conditions. Fast Track status provides formal mechanisms for sponsors to communicate with the FDA on product development issues, including clinical trial design.
[Related -Futures Inch Higher Amid 'Cliff' Talks; Clearwire (CLWR) Tumbles]
Marketing applications for Fast Track development programs are likely to be considered appropriate for priority review, which may shorten the time to FDA approval. Lexicon also has FDA Fast Track status for telotristat etiprate, or LX1032, an oral, systemic TPH inhibitor currently in Phase 3 development for carcinoid syndrome.
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals uses its gene knockout technologies and an integrated platform of medical technologies to study the physiological and behavioral functions of almost 5,000 genes in mice and assessed the utility of the proteins encoded by the corresponding human genes as drug targets.
LXRX closed Friday's regular session up 5.65% at $1.87. The stock has been trading between $0.94 and $3.28 for the past 52 weeks.

La Mesa retiree's vast collection of animation artwork, souvenirs and artifacts make up exhibit in Escondido
ESCONDIDO David Yaruss keenly remembers the day he was bitten by the Disney bug.
Like many other boys growing up in the 1950s, the now-retired pharmacist had a crush on Annette Funicello on TV's "The Mickey Mouse Club." And he once saw Walt Disney in the flesh when his family visited Disneyland just after it opened in July 1955.
But it would take another 20 years before he dove headfirst into the world of Disney collectibles. In 1975, the La Mesa resident saw an ad for a small comic book collectors show called San Diego Comic-Con. Intrigued, he drove downtown to the El Cortez Hotel and strolled the aisles until he came across a table stacked with old Disney comic books illustrated by Carl Barks.
"They struck a chord of nostalgia in me because I'd read them as a kid. What I'd always loved about them was the beauty of the artwork and the quality of the stories," said Yaruss, who coughed up the then-princely sum of $60 for three books.
Ever since that day, Yaruss has collected more than 300 pieces of Disney artwork, including animation cels, storyboards, concept and color test drawings, vintage comic books, souvenirs and historical items from Disney's film canon — a collection he estimates is worth more than $1 million. The lion's share of that obsession is on display this summer at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido Museum, in an exhibit titled "The Art of Fantasia and Other Disney Classics: The David Yaruss Collection."
The 250-piece exhibit fills the three galleries at the Escondido museum. It includes framed drawings and cels from Disney's earliest animated shorts in the mid-1920s, "Alice in Cartoonland" and "Steamboat Willie," through the 1988 live action/animation mashup "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."
There's also an early Donald Duck comic book, a first-edition Mickey Mouse watch and a stock certificate signed by Disney's dad, Elias. But the largest section of the exhibit is devoted to artwork from the 1940 classic "Fantasia," which makes up a third of Yaruss' collection.
"It has always been my favorite Disney film because of its groundbreaking technology in sound, music and animation," he said.
Yaruss, who spent 46 years as a pharmacist, gradually amassed his collection buying and selling items as a part-time Disney art dealer. He hosted his own booth at Comic-Con from 1976 to 2011, and he found the rest through garage sales, antique shops, comics shows and private dealers.
Before 1984, cels could be purchased for a couple hundred dollars. Then, when auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's started selling Disney art in the mid-1980s, prices skyrocketed.
The largest price ever paid for a Disney cel was $420,000 in 1999 for a scene from the 1935 short "The Band Concert" (the first color Mickey Mouse cartoon). A different cel from "The Band Concert" is featured in the Escondido exhibit, which runs through Sept. 7 at 340 N. Escondido Blvd.
Walking through the museum last week, Yaruss stopped at nearly every frame to admire the artist's handiwork and describe the fascinating story behind it.
The Disney studio turned animation into an art form and standardized the medium. After a story was developed, the artists would draw concepts of what they thought the characters should look like and Disney would pick his favorite. To impress the boss, the artists' concept paintings — made with ink, watercolors, pastel, chalk and other media — were often dazzling and detailed.
An early concept drawing for "Snow White" in the exhibit depicts the seven dwarfs marching home from work, but with faces and body shapes that bear little resemblance to those that later appeared in the Oscar-winning 1938 film. Another storyboard drawing from "Snow White" that's also in the show has the hatless dwarfs surrounding the bed of the bewitched Snow White, their heads bowed in sorrow.

Note: a dashed line (without arrowheads) between two compound names is meant to imply that the two names are just different instantiations of the same compound -- i.e. one may be a specific name and the other a general name, or they may both represent the same compound in different stages of a polymerization-type pathway. This view shows enzymes only for those organisms listed below, in the list of taxa known to possess the pathway. If an enzyme name is shown in bold, there is experimental evidence for this enzymatic activity.
|Degradation/Utilization/Assimilation → Carbohydrates Degradation → Sugars Degradation → Trehalose Degradation
Some taxa known to possess this pathway include : Apis mellifera, Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Expected Taxonomic Range:
General Background
There are several alternative pathways for the degradation of trehalose. Depending on the organism, trehalose may enter the cell either through a permease, in which case it remains unmodified, or it may be transported by a phosphotransferase system (PTS), resulting in the phoshorylated trehalose-6-phosphate form. Degradation then proceeds by different mechanisms: Unmodified trehalose may be degraded by a hydrolyzing trehalase (see trehalose degradation II (trehalase)), or it may be split by the action of a trehalose phosphorylase (see trehalose degradation IV and trehalose degradation V). Likewise, trehalose-6-phosphate may be either hydrolyzed by trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolase (see trehalose degradation I (low osmolarity)) or it could be attacked by a trehalose-6-phosphate phosphorylase (see trehalose degradation III).
In insects, trehalose is produced from fat body glycogen and is released into the hemolymph. In many insects, trehalose serves as an extracellular source of sugar via the action of trehalase, an enzyme widely distributed in insect tissues (reviewed in [Kramer05, Arrese10]).
About This Pathway
Trehalase enzymes hydrolyze a molecule of α,α-trehalose into two molecules of β-D-glucopyranose.
Escherichia coli K-12 can grow with trehalose as the sole carbon source, and employs different pathways for its degradation under different osmolarity conditions. Under high osmotic conditions external trehalose is hydrolyzed by periplasmic trehalase (TreA) [Boos87]. The resulting glucose molecules are then transported back into the cytoplasm through the glucose PTS [Styrvold91] (see trehalose degradation VI (periplasmic)).
A second trehalase, the cytoplasmic trehalase (TreF), is active during the transition period between high and low osmolarity. As the cells are shifting their metabolism to adjust to low osmolarity, TreF removes the internal pool of trehalose. The relatively low enzymatic activity of TreF is low enough not to compromise the biosynthesis of trehalose during high osmolarity, yet is sufficient to degrade the accumulated trehalose after the return to normal conditions, when no more biosynthesis occurrs [Horlacher96].
This trehalose degradation pathway is also used by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This organism also has a cytoplasmic and a periplasmic trehalase enzymes [Kopp93]. Nth1p, the cytoplasmic enzyme, is required for the hydrolysis of intracellular trehalose, while Ath1p, the periplasmic enzyme, hydrolyzes extracellular trehalose [Jules04].
Superpathways: chitin biosynthesis
Variants: trehalose degradation I (low osmolarity), trehalose degradation III, trehalose degradation IV, trehalose degradation V, trehalose degradation VI (periplasmic)

16 of 16 people found the following review helpful
one of the best "huh?" purchases I've ever made,
This review is from: Oggz - 3 Pieces with Charging Station (Toy)
I bought Oggz on a lark about a year or so ago. Just an impulsive, "there's enough buzz about it" purchase. And they are *so* worth it!
Each Oggz will, when turned on, slowly morph through the spectrum. The morphing is rather spellbinding, and the best part is that every Oggz has a different time constant, so you are NOT looking at the same colors over and over!
As for mood lighting, these are amazing if you put them in (as I randomly bought about 3 weeks later and again was amazed) some dark blue glasses. The effect they have on a room is spellbinding. On their own, they're a bit bright (which is wonderful) and... well, they're eggs. Egg lights are slightly odd when they're out in the open. But in any sort of glass, they become *the* ultimate room mood lighting!
Add this to the fact that they're mostly indestructable (you can drop them a lot and they don't seem to care) and that they're fun to squish and play with and you have one of the greatest toys, ever. If you have ANY attraction to cool lights, they are a must buy.

The City of Eugene is creating a plan to improve transportation safety and reliability for residents and businesses, as well as making it easy for everyone to get around! By updating its Transportation System Plan (TSP) the City is looking for ways to improve the transportation system over the next 20 years for people traveling by bike, foot, wheelchairs and scooters, bus, car, truck, train, and airplane.
The plan will be coordinated with Envision Eugene, the Eugene Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, the Eugene Airport Master Plan, and other regional transportation plans. These plans complement each other by covering different topics. For instance, the Transportation System Plan addresses Eugene's transportation needs, while Envision Eugene plans for the City's housing and employment needs over the next 20 years.
What's New?
A draft of the 2035 Eugene TSP is now available. This draft includes up-to-date content including policies and actions, project lists, and a description of the factors affecting the plan's evolution. It does not yet include maps of projects and other figures and photos. You can find prior drafts of the pedestrian and bike system maps in the City's Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan.
In a few months, the City will begin a formal review period leading to adoption. The City will host public hearings and other comment opportunities during that formal review period. In the meantime, you are welcome to provide comments on this draft directly to Kurt Yeiter, Senior Transportation Planner, at email@example.com.
To view the Draft TSP, visit the 2035 TSP page.
Where do we go from here?
The City will begin a formal public review process for the TSP in 2016. Check back for updates.

That's what Timothey Adam did last weekend at Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, recruiting cosplayers dressed as characters ranging from Batman and Harley Quinn to Chewbacca and the War Boys to put that Star Trek trope to the test.
After many shelf-less months, Robot 6's Shelf Porn returns today — with a vengeance! We've showcased themed collections in the past, but nothing quite like today's, which comes from "The Owosso Harpist" Sherry Konkus. Sherry's a harpist and Punisher fan from Michigan, and she's combined her two interests into something truly unique.
"These are my Punisher figure collection where I have all of them play the harp and form into a special all-harp orchestra, which I called The Punisher Harp Ensemble," Sherry writes. "Here all of the Punisher figures are portrayed as harpists who play the harp in memory of their families that were killed by the mob years ago. Now I have a website called The Punisher Harp Zone where I portrayed Frank as a harpist who plays the harp in memory of his family and still dishes out punishment to the guilty."
You can check out Sherry's images below, and if you'd like to share your collection with us, you can find all the details on how to do that right here.
I think I finally realized why we're here. The penultimate issue of Nathan Edmondson's run on The Punisher, Issue 17, arrived this week and contained more of a solid understanding of the Frank Castle than I felt the previous installments had. Don't get me wrong, Frank's adventures in Los Angeles fighting a South American drug cartel have been spectacular in design and action, but the purpose of the run hasn't come into focus until the Punisher was staring down Captain America in our nation's capital.
You see, the Punisher is kind of like a very fancy hat: It looks great with the right outfit and on the right occasion, but you simply can't wear it with everything you own.
For the past decade, a number of innovative toy companies have created unique vinyl figures that artists decorate, illustrate and deform to create all sorts of characters. And now artist Ryan "Rocketboy" McClure has created a quartet of Marvel designs based on Kidrobot's Micro Munny figures that will leave your pocketbook wanting.
In addition to the above blood-splattered Punisher, Rocketboy has also produced custom takes on Thor, Captain America and Wolverine. In the past he's done other designs such as an Archangel and a great Hulk using a Marshall figure and more. If you want one, head to Rocketboy's website or Facebook page and drop a line.
Although he's not attending Comic-Con International this year, Sean Murphy is keeping busy. The Brooklyn-based cartoonist, who's illustrating the Vertigo series The Wake, has opened his doors to do a limited number of commissions. It's rare for Murphy to accept private commissions, but he's hoping to help fund the purchase of a house. Whatever the reason, these are a chance for fans to see Murphy draw something he seldom does in comics — superheroes.
While Murphy has work like Batman/Scarecrow: Year One and Teen Titans: Cold Case to his credit, he's best known for non-superhero projects like Joe the Barbarian, American Vampire and Punk Rock Jesus. These commissions — four have been released so far — show Murphy doing Marvel and DC's top heroes, from Batman to Wolverine to the Punisher. Oh, and also … Tom Waits.
If you're a Cyclops fan and still smarting from the end of Avengers vs. X-Men, WeLoveFine.com has a constructive way to express your anger–at least more constructive than, say, unleashing a Sentinel or something. They received a ton of requests for a "Cyclops was Right" shirt (a la their "Magneto was Right" shirt) and were able to turn one around fairly quickly.
While I was enjoying my time at APE up in San Francisco, the New York Comic Con was raging on with announcements and such. Before I get into a rundown of the comic-related news coming out of the East Coast today, let's jump back to yesterday real quick so I can update one of the items from my Friday round-up. I mentioned that Dark Horse would publish a comic based on the upcoming video game The Last of Us, but I didn't know at the time the most important part — the always awesome Faith Erin Hicks is co-writing AND drawing the comic. That's a "Stop the presses" moment if I've ever seen one.
Ok, now on to Saturday …
• Apparently space is the place at NYCC … following DC's announcement of Threshold yesterday, Marvel officially announced the return of two of their cosmic titles — Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova. Guardians, written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Steve McNiven, comes out in February and apparently will feature Iron Man, or at least someone in his armor. Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness are the creative team for Nova, which features Sam Alexander, the Nova from Avengers vs. X-Men.
Welcome to What Are You Reading?, our weekly look at what's been on our nightstands lately. Our guest this week is Jay Faerber, writer of Dynamo 5, Near Death and Noble Causes. The second Near Death trade just came out this week, and his new comic, Point of Impact, comes out Oct. 10.

Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.

If I had $15, I'd buy Boys #70 (only two issues until the big finale) and Classic Popeye #2, IDW Publishing's ongoing series of reprints devoted to Bud Sagendorf comics from the 1940s, as the first issue was much more fun than I expected it to be.
If I had $30, I'd put those comics back, but would be stuck between a couple of books. The first would be Aya: Life in Yop City, which collects the three previous Aya books by Marguerite Abouet and Clement Oubrerie in one volume. These are great, funny comics, full of life and observation regarding a culture — in this case African culture — most Westerners know nothing about.
There's also A Chinese Life, a massive doorstop of a memoir by Chinese artist Li Kunwu (with help from writer Philippe Otie) chronicling his life and times. Kunwu lives through some of modern China's most tumultuous periods, including the Cultural Revolution, and hopefully his book will, like Aya, humanize a time and culture that for many is just a few lines in their history book.
Finally, there's Message to Adolph, Vol. 1, one of Tezuka's final works, set during World War II, about three people named Adolph, one a Jew, the other a German boy living in Japan, and the third the fuhrer himself. Originally published by Viz about two decades ago, Vertical has taken it upon themselves to put out a newly translated version which is great news for those that missed this great manga the first time around.
Is there a greater splurge purchase this week that Dal Tokyo, the collected version of Gary Panter's off-kilter comic strip? I plugged this book last week, but it deserves another one. I've been waiting for this book for awhile.
For the scholarly comics type, the splurge of the week might be Crockett Johnson and Ruth Krauss, a look at the creator of Barnaby and Harold and the Purple Crayon and his wife, a children's author with whom he frequently collaborated.

For once, I'm doing this in semi-reverse order. Or, at least, I'm starting with my would've-should've splurge, anyway, because if I had the money to spare, I'd definitely pick up the Invisibles Omnibus HC (DC/Vertigo, $150). Yes, I've read the comics before, and yes, I own all the trades. And yet … I really, really wish I could own this book. In another world, I am rich enough for that to happen.
Back in the real world, my first $15 pic is very easy: Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #1 (IDW Publishing, $3.99); both creators are at the top of their games these days, as demonstrated in Daredevil on a regular basis, and so seeing them both take on Dave Stevens' classic character feels like the kind of thing I will happily sign onto. Similarly, the first issue of the new Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Spike spin-off (Dark Horse, $2.99) automatically gets a pick-up, based on the quality of both the core Buffy and spin-off Angel and Faith books alone.
If I had $30, I'd add Prophet Vol. 1: Remission TP (Image Comics, $9.99) to my pile. I dropped off the single issues for this early on, because I wasn't digging it as much as I wanted to, but enough people have told me that I'm wrong that I'm coming back to check out the collection — especially because (a) Brandon Graham and (b) that price point. I am continually a sucker for the $9.99 collection; publishers, you should remember this for me and people like me in future.
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading?, where each week we detail what comics and other stuff have been on our reading piles. Our special guest today is David Harper, associate editor over at the recently redesigned Multiversity Comics.
To see what David and the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below.
WonderCon opened its doors Friday at the Anaheim Convention Center, a first for the convention as it moves south from its usual San Francisco home this year. Will it be a permanent move? The Beat's Heidi MacDonald, who is at the show, has some thoughts on why that may not be a bad idea.
Here's a round-up of news from yesterday at the show:
• Daredevil and Irredeemable writer Mark Waid announced several digital comics plans, beginning with a PDF comic available now on his website. The zombie comic, called Luther, is drawn by Jeremy Rock. It will be followed in May by a digital comics imprint. "In May, I'm rolling out a digital comics website where material will be going up in weekly or twice-weekly installments. But before that, on April 2, MarkWaid.com goes live again as a process blog for webcomics and what we're doing. All throughout April, we'll be giving sample material away for free, showing what the format can do, and I'll be doing interviews with pioneers in this field. My own artists will also be there to talk about the projects we're doing and how we'll be building them." Waid was also on hand for the Marvel House of Ideas panel, which went into detail on their recently announced digital and augmented reality plans.
At WonderCon today Marvel officially announced Space: Punisher, a miniseries that takes Frank Castle off world to "a larger universe that doesn't need justice…it needs PUNISHMENT." The comic imagines the Marvel Universe as a galactic crime saga with "wild twists on classic characters," like a giant Hulk who's the "Moby Dick of Space." This sounds like fun; when I first saw the cover I was afraid it was headed into a similar bad idea territory as the "Avenging Angel Punisher" comics from 12 years ago, but the fact that this is out of continuity is a plus. And maybe he'll get to shoot Greedo while he's up there.
The four-issue miniseries, which kicks off in July, is written by Frank Tieri with art by Mark Texeira. This isn't either creator's first dance with Castle, as Tieri worked on Punisher Noir and Texeira drew issues of Punisher and Punisher War Journal back in the 1990s.
This February writer Greg Rucka and artist Marco Checchetto pit the Punisher against a soldier "who is more like him than either of them realize," as a group of former Hydra and AIM agents work together to bring Frank Castle down. It all happens in The Punisher #8, and courtesy of our friends at Marvel Comics, we're pleased to bring you an exclusive preview of that issue.
Check it out, along with the solicitation info, below.
Let's not mince words, the online presence of Tom Brevoort has provided hours of great reading for Robot 6 readers. Given his constant and unflagging willingness to interact with consumers via social media, Brevoort is a quote machine (His Twitter bio? "A man constantly on the verge of saying something stupid–for your entertainment!?"). There's always a directness (some would say bluntness) to his manner online–making him the ideal subject for an interview. Last year saw Marvel promote Brevoort to senior vice president for publishing. 2011 was a year of some major successes for Marvel, as well as a year where some hard business decisions were made. In this interview, conducted in mid-December via email, I tried to cover a great deal of ground (we even briefly discuss DC's New 52 success)–and Brevoort did not hold back on any of his answers. For that, I am extremely grateful. Like any high profile comics executive, Brevoort has his fans and his critics (and many in between), but I like to think this exchange offers some perspectives everyone can enjoy.
Tim O'Shea: Whether it's in your job description or not, fan outreach via social media is definitely part of your job–clearly by your own choice. What benefit or enjoyment do you get from interacting with the fans/consumers?
Tom Brevoort: I'm not sure that I get a particular benefit, except maybe just being the center of attention for a few minutes—maybe everything I do is motivated by ego! I'm a whore for the spotlight! But I started doing this kind of outreach back in the formative days of internet fandom, largely because I like the idea of internet fandom. I know that, if the internet had existed when I was a young comic book reader, I'd have been on those message boards and in those chat rooms all the time, obsessively—just like a certain portion of the audience today. So I like the idea of giving back, of being accessible enough that anybody who has a question or a concern knows where to find me, or at least to find somebody with an insider's track who might have the background and knowledge to speak to their point. In a very real way, it's all an outgrowth of what Stan Lee did in his letters pages and Bullpen pages. Joe Q, I think, was really the first person to perfect that approach for the internet age. As EIC he was incredibly available to the audience in a myriad of ways. It's a philosophy that's very much woven into our DNA at Marvel. And for the most part, our fans are interesting, vibrant, cool people, especially when you meet them in person.

Monitorix 1.4.0 Speaks Plaintext
The free software monitoring software Monitorix is available in version 1.4.0. New among the features is a plaintext version.
The Monitorix open source program in its standard views provides graphs for numerous computer performance values such as CPU load, Ethernet traffic, network services and hard disk usage. The diagrams rendered through RRDTool can be viewed on the Web as HTML pages. The data is now also available as plaintext, which makes things easier for seeing-impaired users and automated analysis.
Developers also implemented a new alert capability for Monitorix that reports on the last 15 minutes of average CPU load. They also resolved a CGI scripting bug that affected how CPU graphs were represented.
Monitorix 1.4.0 is under GPLv2 licensing and available for download on the project homepage as source code and in numerous packages.
Thanks for the response...I took a look at Monitorix and compared it with SysUsage. I have to agree that they monitor about the same things. Monitorix appears to come with prettier report pages by default. I'd definitely take a look at it first.
SysUsage appears - at first glance - to include more time periods for the 20+ default items monitored. We did create static front-ends that drill down into the multitude of servers and merge the main items of concern for a single server before getting to the detailed Daily, Weekly, Monthly graphs for all the details.
Re: Any significant diff to SysUsage?I am not familiar with SysUsage. However, I have the impression that they monitor more or less the same parameters. Besides, they both use RRDTool. If you're happy with your current software, I see no reason to change.
Any significant diff to SysUsage?I've been happily using SysUsage http://sourceforge.net/projects/sysusage/ to simple performance
Is this tool comparable?

Dear God,
I am terrified
this letter I write, in full knowledge
you're going to do the same thing
and make me figure this out on my own
"You're a big girl..."
but I need guidance
I'm afraid to choose
so I'm afraid to let myself
I'm scared of the ambition and burning desire
that's building inside me; something
I've never seen
But you see, I want to be,
up there in front of thousands
and I want to hear the audience singing along
many said, you've got the talent
you just have to want it badly enough
now I'm ready to scream it
(I do, really I do want)
But I'm afraid
scared of what people will say
"You're throwing your life away
working on your music....
you'd better practise saying
'Fries with that?'
You can live in your sister's basement"
Dear God,
what the hell did you set me up for?
Couldn't you make me such
that I want something else,
like a job that's respectable, with a regular pay cheque,
and maybe you could've given me
that blind respect for authority
that's valued so well in society...
why didn't you?
You had to make it hard for me?!
What if I don't have the courage?
I have to try.
I won't be satisfied unless I try everything...
why did you make me strong enough
to attempt this
in spite of how
those whom I care about
don't believe in me...?
You had to make me different...
Thank you.
Dear God by MelodieRoxWatch
©2012-2016 MelodieRox
you have a challenge. If it was easy, why would you bother? Go for your dreams.
This poem pretty much sums up what I'm going through in my life right now...not certain of the path God has in mind for me, scared to embrace the unknown, wanting straightforward answers. Fabulous work once again! Thanks for sharing this.
this is amazing! im not religious at all, but i do ask questions like this about myself sometimes, so this really connects
Thank you! I'm not religious either; I'm spiritual.
wow.... i love this....

Don't Open A Link That Says 'Watch Robin Williams Commit Suicide On Cam'
Here we go again! Earlier this year, hackers were posting links on social media, claiming Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 had been found. More recently, we saw links claiming to be video of Flight 17 being shot down. Less than 24 hours after the death of Robin Williams, similar links have appeared, representing themselves as webcam videos of his suicide.

Tacoma hip-hop trio Life Cycle's debut disc, 2008's City of Rust, is all Left Coast mellow grooves liberally laced with good vibrations. In other words: there's no rusty city poisoning the horizon at all--just palm tree's a'swayin' in the wind. Even when MCs/producers/brothers JoshuaJ and Burn One and their cut-man, DJ Hanibal, rough it up on the deeply personal tracks "Willow Weep" and "Grandma's Hands", it's more about the language than the sounds.
But Life Cycle's new nine-track EP, Grounded, available for free here, may surprise folks. It's dark and aggressive and kind of unfriendly, though the boys haven't gone goth or set music to a midnight of the mind. Rather, they've steered away from the easy-listening quality of their debut and pushed into new realms of haunted digitization, as evidenced by the tonal zips and zaps shooting through "That's the Way It Is" and the cinematic effects of "Things Change," which owes something to Massive Attack's spooky tendencies.JoshuaJ and Burn One's lyrics have also taken on more of an edge: "Drama" is a street-wise assertion of self, while "Bang Out" features stark warnings and gloomy prophecies for the usual offenders--sucka MCs and haters. All in all, Grounded presents a promising departure for a crew still searching for their sound but definitely on the right path. You can check Life Cycle for its EP-release show Friday, Aug. 28, at Nectar for $5 before 10 p.m. and $8 after.

Back in September we wrote about a 9/11 "Truther" that was offering $1,000 to anyone who could prove him wrong about one aspect of his conspiracy theory regarding the Sept. 11 attacks. The following video shows what happened when someone took him up on that challenge.
He made the following offer:
I off[er] you $1,000 cash for 30 minutes of your time if you can logically explain---without the use of controlled demolition---the 2.2 seconds of gravitational free fall of WTC 7 that the National Institute of Standards and Technologies admitted to have occurred. Nothing fancy required. No calculus, no complicated formulas, just 8th-grade science class Scientific Method with the basic understanding of Newton's Laws of Motion that we started seeing in After School Special cartoons when we were five years old.
It didn't take long for someone to take Benshoof up on his offer. That person: Paul Case.
Mr. Case is the founder of the Seattle Skeptics, formerly known as the Society for Sensible Explanations. He thinks Benshoof's conspiracy theory is full of holes and was eager to show his opponent just how much evidence was stacked against his wild theory.
To be sure, Mr. Benshoof and the entire Truther movement has been so thoroughly debunked that even entertaining Benshoof's offer seemed to be giving him more attention than he deserved. But given that he was putting $1,000 on the table and an opponent with such credentials as Mr. Case had stepped forward, it seemed worth a blog post at least.
Those interested in seeing the Truther theories fully dispensed with can look here, here or here.
As for the actual debate, the two parties got together at Seattle Weekly headquarters downtown on Nov. 6. Though originally scheduled to last 30 minutes, the discussion went on for an hour and only stopped because I finally had to demand they stop talking.
Benshoof is essentially a one-trick pony when it comes to his theory. He argues that because one of the buildings that was destroyed in the attacks collapsed briefly at free-fall speed that it must be because it was already primed with explosives.
Case's evidence is, well, more extensive than that.
Here's our video, masterfully edited by editorial super intern Aaron Gordon.
UPDATE: Not sure how I forgot to include this earlier, but no, Benshoof didn't hand over a dime. I'm not sure if he even had the $1,000 with him.

I would lov eto have a "pox party" LOL now if I could find somebody to have one with ;)
♥*´)¸.•*´) ¸.•*¨) ....... ........ ..... ..................¸.•*¨) ¸.•´) ¸.•´ (¸.•´ ¸.•`♥♥ Mason'sMommy 1-18-2009 TTC2 ♥♥
The thing is there are risks to getting the chicken pox. Post risk are minimal, but there is still a slim chance that they could get severely ill or even die. I would not purposely have my child catch a disease that they don't have to catch. I have never had chicken pox and neither has any of my kids.
Go with the flo mommy to~
4 Teenage boys(19,18,17&15) rainbow princess(7) & a CrAzY baby girl 12/31/08
That's our plan too. Luckily I have a few friends IRL that have kids close in age with vinny. Most of us have agreed that if one of our kids gets chicken pox that we'll have a pox party. I wouldn't mind doing the vaccine when he gets a little older (ie starts school) if he doesn't get it naturally, but if he can get it naturally I'm more comfortable with that.
Wife to Craig ? 4-08 ?
Mommy to Vinny �? 1-09 ? and Lucas ? 12-10 ?
We are delaying the chickenpox vaccine a bit but we would never do a pox party. I had the chicken pox as a child and I would never expose my kid to that if they don't need to be. Yes, it can be harmless but can also have serious complications.
Tiffany - Mom to Hallie (age 2.5) and Ben (age 5)
I'd never do a pox party, but we did delay the vax until school-aged. Emmit had the vax before starting K and Evie just got it before pre-K. If Emory happens to catch pox before school, great. If not, he'll get vaxed.
I never caught chicken pox even though all 4 of my siblings and my cousin (she lived with us) had them. Turns out I was asymptomatic & am immune now (got a positive titer when pregnant with my '04 kid)!
Suzi - NHL survivor (and I don't mean hockey)
e1 (03/04), e2 (02/06) & e3 (01/09)
www.infantsee.org (It's FREE & easy)
Hmmm...no pox party for us, thanks!
DD got the vaccine...everything went perfectly fine, so side effects. I did debate it for a while though. In the end...I've never had them (unlike Suzi, I'm not sure if I'm immune or not), so if I can prevent my kids from getting it, it would be better for all of us. Since chicken pox is incredibly dangerous for adults, I wouldn't be able to be around my kids when if they had it, and that would be horrible. So, hopefully this prevents them from getting it.
Olivia: 1/2/09 (C/S); Amelia: 7/26/10 (VBAC); Eliza: 5/7/14 (VBAC); SURPRISE Baby BOY Due 7/22/16
A friend of our's DS had the chicken pox, and I would have loved to have Eli exposed to it, but he had gotten his vax 2 months before.
If you get chicken pox, the pro is that you will be immune to it as an adult. If you don't get some form of immunity to it (i.e. vax or live virus), you could get it as an adult and it is MUCH more dangerous.
The con is that if you get chicken pox as a kid, you may get shingles later when you are older, and this can be deadly in people with a weak immune system (i.e. if you are elderly).
If you get the vaccination, you are immune (supposedly) to both the chicken pox and shingles.
On a side note, I had chicken pox and so did most of my friends. It only lasted a few days, and it really wasn't that awful. I think having the flu was waaaaaay worse than getting chicken pox. So I don't see it as some kind of torture to give it to your kid. That's just my opinion, though.
***Mom to Elijah (1/18/09) and Ian (5/27/12)***
I'm not against them but I wouldn't expose him at this age. I had CP in elementary school and it was no big deal. We are skipping this vax all together.
I had chicken pox as a teen and it was horrible. I had them in my throat and had to go to the dr daily to have it checked. They were worried it could close off my throat. I would rather have a shot over with for my son than to think he would go through what I did. I also had shingles in my mid 20's- it is like your skin is on fire and nothing will make it stop except a shot of steroids. We'll definately be getting his shot.

1. Any four-legged, pack hunting, carnivorous animal of the genus Canis. Yes, I consider a wolf to be a dog, because the common house Dog, Canis Familiaris or Canis Domesticus is a bred-down version of Canis Lupus, the modern wolf. Makes a good pet, as they are intelligent, curious, and as I have earlier stated, a pack animal, and therefore easily suited to life with a family of many people, or fewer.

So far school is going great! I remember coming here as a freshman last year and feeling somewhat intimidated and lost. This year, however, moving into the mods and meeting up with old friends has made the beginning of the semester completely different. I'm living in 6c with most of my closest friends from last year, which has gone swimmingly so far. I'm happy to have a good group of guys to live/hang out with.

|Synodical Legislation on the Patriarchal Power…
|Next »
§ 56. Synodical Legislation on the Patriarchal Power and Jurisdiction.
To follow now the ecclesiastical legislation respecting this patriarchal oligarchy in chronological order:
The germs of it already lay in the ante-Nicene period, when the bishops of Antioch, Alexandria, and Rome, partly in virtue of the age and apostolic origin of their churches, partly, on account of the political prominence of those three cities as the three capitals of the Roman empire, steadily asserted a position of preëminence. The apostolic origin of the churches of Rome and Antioch is evident from the New Testament: Alexandria traced its Christianity, at least indirectly through the evangelist Mark, to Peter, and was politically more important than Antioch; while Rome from the first had precedence of both in church and in state. This preëminence of the oldest and most powerful metropolitans acquired formal legislative validity and firm establishment through the ecumenical councils of the fourth and fifth centuries.
The first ecumenical council of Nice, in 325, as yet knew nothing of five patriarchs, but only the three metropolitans above named, confirming them in their traditional rights.505505 Accordingly Pope Nicolas, in 866, in a letter to the Bulgarian prince Bogoris, would acknowledge only the bishops of Rome, Alexandria, and Antioch as patriarchs in the proper sense, because they presided over apostolic churches; whereas Constantinople was not of apostolic founding, and was not even mentioned by the most venerable of all councils, the Nicene; Jerusalem was named indeed by these councils, but only under the name of Aelia. In the much-canvassed sixth canon, probably on occasion of the Meletian schism in Egypt, and the attacks connected with it on the rights of the bishop of Alexandria, that council declared as follows:
"The ancient custom, which has obtained in Egypt, Libya, and the Pentapolis, shall continue in force, viz.: that the bishop of Alexandria have rule over all these [provinces], since this also is customary with the bishop of Rome [that is, not in Egypt, but with reference to his own diocese]. Likewise also at Antioch and in the other eparchies, the churches shall retain their prerogatives. Now, it is perfectly clear, that, if any one has been made bishop without the consent of the metropolitan, the great council does not allow him to be bishop."506506 In the oldest Latin Cod. canonum (in Mansi, vi. 1186) this canon is preceded by the important words: Ecclesia Romana semper habuit primatum. These are, however, manifestly spurious, being originally no part of the canon itself, but a superscription, which gave an expression to the Roman inference from the Nicene canon. Comp. Gieseler, i. 2, § 93, note 1; and Hefele, Hist. of Councils, i. 384 sqq.
The Nicene fathers passed this canon not as introducing anything new, but merely as confirming an existing relation on the basis of church tradition; and that, with special reference to Alexandria, on account of the troubles existing there. Rome was named only for illustration; and Antioch and all the other eparchies or provinces were secured their admitted rights.507507 So Greenwood also views the matter, Cathedra Petri, 1859, vol. i. p. 181: "It was manifestly not the object of this canon to confer any new jurisdiction upon the church of Alexandria, but simply to confirm its customary prerogative. By way of illustration, it places that prerogative, whatever it was, upon the same level with that of the two other eparchal churches of Rome and Antioch. Moreover, the words of the canon disclose no other ground of claim but custom; and the customs of each eparchia are restricted to the territorial limits of the diocese or eparchia itself. And though, within those limits, the several customary rights and prerogatives may have differed, yet beyond them no jurisdiction of any kind could, by virtue of this canon, have any existence at all." The bishoprics of Alexandria, Rome, and Antioch were placed substantially on equal footing, yet in such tone, that Antioch, as the third capital of the Roman empire, already stands as a stepping stone to the ordinary metropolitans. By the "other eparchies" of the canon are to be understood either all provinces, and therefore all metropolitan districts, or more probably, as in the second canon of the first council of Constantinople, only the three eparchates of Caesarea in Cappadocia, Ephesus, and Asia Minor, and Heraclea in Thrace, which, after Constantine's division of the East, possessed similar prerogatives, but were subsequently overshadowed and absorbed by Constantinople. In any case, however, this addition proves that at that time the rights and dignity of the patriarchs were not yet strictly distinguished from those of the other metropolitans. The bishops of Rome, Alexandria, and Antioch here appear in relation to the other bishops simply as primi inter pares, or as metropolitans of the first rank, in whom the highest political eminence was joined with the highest ecclesiastical. Next to them, in the second rank, come the bishops of Ephesus in the Asiatic diocese of the empire, of Neo-Caesarea in the Pontic, and of Heraclea in the Thracian; while Constantinople, which was not founded till five years later, is wholly unnoticed in the Nicene council, and Jerusalem is mentioned only under the name of Aelia.
Between the first and second ecumenical councils arose the new patriarchate of Constantinople, or New Rome, built by Constantine in 330, and elevated to the rank of the imperial residence. The bishop of this city was not only the successor of the bishop of the ancient Byzantium, hitherto under the jurisdiction of the metropolitan of Heraclea, but, through the favor of the imperial court and the bishops who were always numerously assembled there, it placed itself in a few decennia among the first metropolitans of the East, and in the fifth century became the most powerful rival of the bishop of old Rome.
This new patriarchate was first officially recognized at the first ecumenical council, held at Constantinople in 381, and was conceded "the precedence in honor, next to the bishop of Rome," the second place among all bishops; and that, on the purely political consideration, that New Rome was the residence of the emperor.508508 Conc. Constant. i. can 3: Τὸν μέντοι Κώσταντινουπόλεως ἐπίσκοπον ἔχειν τὰ πρεσβεῖα τῆς τιμῆς, μετὰ τὸν τῆσ Ῥώμης ἐπίσκοπον, διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτὴν νέαν Ῥώμην. This canon is quoted also by Socrates, v. 8, and Sozomen, vii. 9, and confirmed by the council of Chalcedon (see below); so that it must be from pure dogmatical bias, that Baronius (Annal. ad ann. 381, n. 35, 36) questions its genuineness At the same time the imperial city and the diocese of Thrace (whose ecclesiastical metropolis hitherto had been Heraclea) were assigned as its district.509509 The latter is not, indeed, expressly said in the above canon, which seems to speak only of an honorary precedence. But the canon was so understood by the bishops of Constantinople, and by the historians Socrates (v. 8) and Theodoret (Epist. 86, ad Flavianum), and so interpreted by the Chalcedonian council (can. 28). The relation of the bishop of Constantinople to the metropolitan of Heraclea, however, remained for a long time uncertain, and at the council ad Quercum, 403, in the affair of Chrysostom, Paul of Heraclea took the presidency, though the patriarch Theophilus of Alexandria was present. Comp. Le Quien, tom. i. p. 18; and Wiltsch, i. p. 139.
Many Greeks took this as a formal assertion of the equality of the bishop of Constantinople with the bishop of Rome, understanding "next" or "after" (metav) as referring only to time, not to rank. But it is more natural to regard this as conceding a primacy of honor, which the Roman see could claim on different grounds. The popes, as the subsequent protest of Leo shows, were not satisfied with this, because they were unwilling to be placed in the same category with the Constantinopolitan fledgling, and at the same time assumed a supremacy of jurisdiction over the whole church. On the other hand, this decree was unwelcome also to the patriarch of Alexandria, because this see had hitherto held the second rank, and was now required to take the third. Hence the canon was not subscribed by Timotheus of Alexandria, and was regarded in Egypt as void. Afterward, however, the emperors prevailed with the Alexandrian patriarchs to yield this point.
After the council of 381, the bishop of Constantinople indulged in manifold encroachments on the rights of the metropolitans of Ephesus and Caesarea in Cappadocia, and even on the rights of the other patriarchs. In this extension of his authority he was favored by the fact that, in spite of the prohibition of the council of Sardica, the bishops of all the districts of the East continually resided in Constantinople, in order to present all kinds of interests to the emperor. These concerns of distant bishops were generally referred by the emperor to the bishop of Constantinople and his council, the σύνοδος ἐνδημοῦσα, as it was called, that is, a council of the bishops resident (ἐνδημούντων) in Constantinople, under his presidency. In this way his trespasses even upon the bounds of other patriarchs obtained the right of custom by consent of parties, if not the sanction of church legislation. Nectarius, who was not elected till after that council, claimed the presidency at a council in 394, over the two patriarchs who were present, Theophilus of Alexandria and Flavian of Antioch; decided the matter almost alone; and thus was the first to exercise the primacy over the entire East. Under his successor, Chrysostom, the compass of the see extended itself still farther, and, according to Theodoret,510510 H. E. lib. v. cap. 28. stretched over the capital, over all Thrace with its six provinces, over all Asia (Asia proconsularis) with eleven provinces, and over Pontus, which likewise embraced eleven provinces; thus covering twenty-eight provinces in all. In the year 400, Chrysostom went "by request to Ephesus," to ordain there Heraclides of Ephesus, and at the same time to institute six bishops in the places of others deposed for simony.511511 According to Sozomen it was thirteen, according to Theophilus of Alexandria at the council ad Quercum seventeen bishops, whom he instituted; and this act was charged against him as an unheard-of crime. See Wiltsch, i. 141. His second successor, Atticus, about the year 421, procured from the younger Theodosius a law, that no bishop should be ordained in the neighboring dioceses without the consent of the bishop of Constantinople.512512 Socrates, H. E. l. vii. 28, where such a law is incidentally mentioned. The inhabitants of Cyzicus in the Hellespont, however, transgressed the law, on the presumption that it was merely a personal privilege of Atticus. This power still needed the solemn sanction of a general council, before it could have a firm legal foundation. It received this sanction at Chalcedon.
The fourth ecumenical council, held at Chalcedon in 451 confirmed and extended the power of the bishop of Constantinople, by ordaining in the celebrated twenty-eighth canon:
"Following throughout the decrees of the holy fathers, and being "acquainted with the recently read canon of the hundred and fifty bishops [i.e. the third canon of the second ecumenical council of 381], we also have determined and decreed the same in reference to the prerogatives of the most holy church of Constantinople or New Rome. For with reason did the fathers confer prerogatives (τὰ πρεσβεῖα) on the throne [the episcopal chair] of ancient Rome, on account of her character as the imperial city (διὰ τὸ βασιλεύειν); and, moved by the same consideration, the hundred and fifty bishops recognized the same prerogatives (τὰ ἴσα ςπρεσβεῖα) also in the most holy throne of New Rome; with good reason judging, that the city, which is honored with the imperial dignity and the senate [i.e. where the emperor and senate reside], and enjoys the same [municipal] privileges as the ancient imperial Rome, should also be equally elevated in ecclesiastical respects, and be the second after he(δευτέραν μετ ̓ ἐκείνην.].ς
"And [we decree] that of the dioceses of Pontus, Asia [Asia proconsularis], and Thrace, only the metropolitans, but in such districts of those dioceses as are occupied by barbarians, also the [ordinary] bishops, be ordained by the most holy throne of the most holy church at Constantinople; while of course every metropolitan in those dioceses ordains the new bishops of a province in concurrence with the existing bishops of that province, as is directed in the divine (θείοις) canons. But the metropolitans of those dioceses, as already said, shall be ordained by the archbishop (ἀρχιεπισκόπου) of Constantinople, after they shall have been unanimously elected in the usual way, and he [the archbishop of Constantinople] shall have been informed of it."
We have divided this celebrated Chalcedonian canon into two parts, though in the Greek text the parts are (by Καὶ ωὝστε) closely connected. The first part assigns to the bishop of Constantinople the second rank among the patriarchs, and is simply a repetition and confirmation of the third canon of the council of Constantinople; the second part goes farther, and sanctions the supremacy, already actually exercised by Chrysostom and his successors, of the patriarch of Constantinople, not only over the diocese of Thrace, but also over the dioceses of Asia Minor and Pontus, and gives him the exclusive right to ordain both the metropolitans of these three dioceses, and all the bishops of the barbarians513513 Among the barbarian tribes, over whom the bishops of Constantinople exercised an ecclesiastical jurisdiction, were the Huns on the Bosphorus, whose king, Gorda, received baptism in the time of Justinian; the Herulians, who received the Christian faith in 527; the Abasgians and Alanians on the Euxine sea, who about the same time received priests from Constantinople. Comp. Wiltsch, i. 144 and 145. within those bounds. This gave him a larger district than any other patriarch of the East. Subsequently an edict of the emperor Justinian, in 530, added to him the special prerogative of receiving appeals from the other patriarchs, and thus of governing the whole Orient.
The council of Chalcedon in this decree only followed consistently the oriental principle of politico-ecclesiastical division. Its intention was to make the new political capital also the ecclesiastical capital of the East, to advance its bishop over the bishops of Alexandria and Antioch, and to make him as nearly as possible equal to the bishop of Rome. Thus was imposed a wholesome check on the ambition of the Alexandrian patriarch, who in various ways, as the affair of Theophilus and Dioscurus shows, had abused his power to the prejudice of the church.
But thus, at the same time, was roused the jealousy of the bishop of Rome, to whom a rival in Constantinople, with equal prerogatives, was far more dangerous than a rival in Alexandria or Antioch. Especially offensive must it have been to him, that the council of Chalcedon said not a word of the primacy of Peter, and based the power of the Roman bishop, like that of the Constantinopolitan, on political grounds; which was indeed not erroneous, yet only half of the truth, and in that respect unfair.
Just here, therefore, is the point, where the Eastern church entered into a conflict with the Western, which continues to this day. The papal delegates protested against the twenty-eighth canon of the Chalcedonian council, on the spot, in the sixteenth and last session of the council; but in vain, though their protest was admitted to record. They appealed to the sixth canon of the Nicene council, according to the enlarged Latin version, which, in the later addition, "Ecclesia Romana semper habuit primatum," seems to assign the Roman bishop a position above all the patriarchs, and drops Constantinople from notice; whereupon the canon was read to them in its original form from the Greek Acts, without that addition, together with the first three canons of the second ecumenical council with their express acknowledgment of the patriarch of Constantinople in the second rank.514514 This correction of the Roman legates is so little to the taste of the Roman Catholic historians, especially the ultramontane, that the Ballerini, in their edition of the works of Leo the Great, tom. iii. p. xxxvii. sqq., and even Hefele, Conciliengesch. i. p. 385, and ii. p. 522, have without proof declared the relevant passage in the Greek Acts of the council of Chalcedon a later interpolation. Hefele, who can but concede the departure of the Latin version from the original text of the sixth canon of Nice, thinks, however, that the Greek text was not read in Chalcedon, because even this bore against the elevation of Constantinople, and therefore in favor of the Roman legates. But the Roman legates, as also Leo in his protest against the 28th decree of Chalcedon, laid chief stress upon the Roman addition, Ecclesia Romana semper habuit primatum, and considered the equalization of any other patriarch with the bishop of Rome incompatible with it. Since the legates, as is conceded, appealed to the Nicene canon, the Greeks had first to meet this appeal, before they passed to the canons of the council of Constantinople. Only the two together formed a sufficient answer to the Roman protest. After the debate on this point, the imperial commissioners thus summed up the result: "From the whole discussion, and from what has been brought forward on either side, we acknowledge that the primacy over all (πρὸ πάντων τὰ πρωτεῖα) and the most eminent rank (καὶ τὴν ἐξείρετον τιμήν) are to continue with the archbishop of old Rome; but that also the archbishop of New Rome should enjoy the same precedence of honor (τὰ πρεσβεῖα τῆς τιμῆς), and have the right to ordain the metropolitans in the dioceses of Asia, Pontus, and Thrace," &c. Now they called upon the council to declare whether this was its opinion; whereupon the bishops gave their full, emphatic consent, and begged to be dismissed. The commissioners then closed the transactions with the words: "What we a little while ago proposed, the whole council hath ratified;" that is, the prerogative granted to the church of Constantinople is confirmed by the council in spite of the protest of the legates of Rome.515515 Mansi, vii. p. 446-454; Harduin, ii, 639-643; Hefele, ii. 524, 525.
After the council, the Roman bishop, Leo, himself protested in three letters of the 22d May, 452; the first of which was addressed to the emperor Marcian, the second to the empress Pulcheria, the third to Anatolius, patriarch of Constantinople.516516 Leo, Epist. 104, 105, and 106 (al, Ep. 78-80). Comp. Hefele, l.c. ii. 530 sqq. He expressed his satisfaction with the doctrinal results of the council, but declared the elevation of the bishop of Constantinople to the patriarchal dignity to be a work of pride and ambition—the humble, modest pope!—to be an attack upon the rights of other Eastern metropolitans—the invader of the same rights in Gaul!—especially upon the rights of the Roman see guaranteed by the council of Nice—on the authority of a Roman interpolation—and to be destructive of the peace of the church—which the popes have always sacredly kept! He would hear nothing of political considerations as the source of the authority of his chair, but pointed rather to Divine institution and the primacy of Peter. Leo speaks here with great reverence of the first ecumenical council, under the false impression that that council in its sixth canon acknowledged the primacy of Rome; but with singular indifference of the second ecumenical council, on account of its third canon, which was confirmed at Chalcedon. He charges Anatolius with using for his own ambition a council, which had been called simply for the extermination of heresy and the establishment of the faith. But the canons of the Nicene council, inspired by the Holy Ghost, could be superseded by no synod, however great; and all that came in conflict with them was void. He exhorted Anatolius to give up his ambition, and reminded him of the words: Tene quod habes, ne alius accipiat coronam tuam.517517 Rev. iii. 11.
But this protest could not change the decree of the council nor the position of the Greek church in the matter, although, under the influence of the emperor, Anatolius wrote an humble letter to Leo. The bishops of Constantinople asserted their rank, and were sustained by the Byzantine emperors. The twenty-eighth canon of the Chalcedonian council was expressly confirmed by Justinian I., in the 131st Novelle (c. 1), and solemnly renewed by the Trullan council (can. 36), but was omitted in the Latin collections of canons by Prisca, Dionysius, Exiguus, and Isidore. The loud contradiction of Rome gradually died away; yet she has never formally acknowledged this canon, except during the Latin empire and the Latin patriarchate at Constantinople, when the fourth Lateran council, under Innocent III., in 1215, conceded that the patriarch of Constantinople should hold the next rank after the patriarch of Rome, before those of Alexandria and Antioch.518518 Harduin, tom. vii. 23; Schröckh, xvii. 43; and Hefele, ii. 544.
Finally, the bishop of Jerusalem, after long contests with the metropolitan of Caesarea and the patriarch of Antioch, succeeded in advancing himself to the patriarchal dignity; but his distinction remained chiefly a matter of honor, far below the other patriarchates in extent of real power. Had not the ancient Jerusalem, in the year 70, been left with only a part of the city wall and three gates to mark it, it would doubtless, being the seat of the oldest Christian congregation, have held, as in the time of James, a central position in the hierarchy. Yet as it was, a reflection of the original dignity of the mother city fell upon the new settlement of Aelia Capitolina, which, after Adrian, rose upon the venerable ruins. The pilgrimage of the empress Helena, and the magnificent church edifices of her son on the holy places, gave Jerusalem a new importance as the centre of devout pilgrimage from all quarters of Christendom. Its bishop was subordinate, indeed, to the metropolitan of Caesarea, but presided with him (probably secundo loco) at the Palestinian councils.519519 Comp. Eusebius, himself the metropolitan of Caesarea, H. E. v. 23. He gives the succession of the bishops of Jerusalem, as well as of Rome, Alexandria, and Antioch, while he omits those of Caesarea. The council of Nice gave him an honorary precedence among the bishops, though without affecting his dependence on the metropolitan of Caesarea. At least this seems to be the meaning of the short and some. what obscure seventh canon: "Since it is custom and old tradition, that the bishop of Aelia (Jerusalem) should be honored, he shall also enjoy the succession of honor,520520 Ἀκολουθία τῆς τιμῆς; which is variously interpreted. Comp. Hefele, i. 389 sq. while the metropolis (Caesarea) preserves the dignity allotted to her." The legal relation of the two remained for a long time uncertain, till the fourth ecumenical council, at its seventh session, confirmed the bishop of Jerusalem in his patriarchal rank, and assigned to him the three provinces of Palestine as a diocese, without opposition.

What I Like About Scrooge
In praise of misers.
(Continued from Page 1)
Great artists are sometimes unaware of the deepest meanings in their own creations. Though Dickens might not have recognized it, the primary moral of A Christmas Carol is that there should be no limit on IRA contributions. This is quite independent of all the other reasons why the tax system should encourage saving (e.g., the salutary effects on economic growth).
If Christmas is the season of selflessness, then surely one of the great symbols of Christmas should be Ebenezer Scrooge—the old Scrooge, not the reformed one. It's taxes, not misers, that need reforming.

33 battle at 4th annual crossword tournament
Published: Sunday, February 14, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 14, 2010 at 12:18 a.m.
Crossword puzzle fanatic George Hyde didn't know that Aymara is one of Bolivia's official languages.
The clue, which was 24-across during the final round of the 4th annual North Florida Crossword Puzzle Tournament, stumped him and caused him to leave two squares blank Saturday.
The Tampa-based media consultant moved to a different piece of the puzzle and after 26 minutes, he put his marker down and took off his headphones, signaling his completion.
"There's a fair amount of pressure when you're up there with your earphones on, and you know your competitors are equally adept," he said. "I was thinking, 'Why can't I figure out these words?' "
Hyde and two other finalists, Jennifer Slatton and Cori Roberts, both tournament veterans from Gainesville, vied for a trip to the upcoming American Crossword Puzzle Tournament in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The finalists were given 30 minutes to solve a blown-up version of an archived Saturday puzzle from The New York Times. The event was held at the Paramount Plaza hotel in Gainesville.
Hyde, who was second to finish the puzzle, was declared champion of the tournament because his cumulative score exceeded his opponents'.
Thirty-three individuals and 17 teams of three competed in the event, which raised an estimated $2,500, according to director Joel Daunic. Between puzzles, syndicated crossword puzzle creator Merl Reagle entertained with word games and spoke about building crosswords.
Hyde, who has attended the national tournament twice, came from Tampa to compete.
"The interesting thing is the people here represent different occupations and interests," he said. "There's not a standard egg-head or nerdy type."
Proceeds from the event benefit the Generation Connection, a summer day camp that connects children with senior citizens. For the last seven years, the camp has run for a week, but Daunic said he believes it will expand into a two-week program thanks to fundraising efforts.
Reagle said he enjoys the event because it gives him the opportunity to interact with other crossword aficionados.
"Solving is a solitary sport, but constructing is as well," Reagle said. Appearances at puzzle-oriented events offer him the opportunity to test new jokes and word games and receive feedback on his puzzles.
One rookie at the event, Sean Cohane, said he came to learn more about crosswords and the people who frequently do them. He noticed how quickly they think and solve their puzzles, he said.
In addition to thinking quickly, he said that a basic knowledge of many topics and a love for trivia are the skills needed to solve crosswords, which he believes are a great exercise to keep the brain sharp.
"I think it's really important to do something like that each morning," he said. "Grab some coffee and do a puzzle to wake yourself up and get your mind going."
