Posted on 03/21/2011 10:34:29 AM PDT by count-your-change
Where was Christ for the three days following his death? It seems a simple enough question and it is. The answer is simple too. One might turn to Matthew 27:59, 60, where it says a rich man, Joseph, took Jesus' body and had it put in Joseph's prepared tomb and then a large stone was rolled in place to close up the cave like tomb.
So why would there be a question? Well, before Jesus died he had been asked to be remembered by a criminal hanging nearby. Said this man:
"Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." By the request he shows he does expect, he has faith, that despite the present situation, that Jesus would indeed, 'come into his kingdom'.
But it is Jesus' answer that some find hard to understand or explain:
"He replied, "Truly I tell you today you will be with me in paradise". Notice that I left out the comma which does not appear in the Greek. It is the placement of that comma that brings the question of whether Jesus was saying either "today you will be with me" or "today I am saying to you", two very different things. Most translators place the comma before "today" in line their beliefs about Christ's condition during those three days, not according to any necessity occasioned by the Greek grammar. Is such placement, and the meaning it imparts, justified according to what the rest of the Scriptures say? No, not at all. How so?
Jesus said he, "the son of man" was to "be killed and on the third day raised up (resurrected)". (Luke 9:22) and Peter confirms that this is exactly what occurred at Acts 10:40,41 saying Christ 'rose from the dead'.
Earlier Peter had interpreted Psalm 16:10 as fitting the Christ, saying Christ had gone into Hades, or hell as some translations have it, as had David, to await God's resurrection of them. (Acts 2:29-36) David though, would have to wait until that much broader resurrection Paul spoke of at Acts 24:15, the "resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous".
But what of the criminal and the promise made to him? Did he die and go to heaven, hell, where?
He had not been born again. He had not repented or been baptized or become a disciple and shown his faith by his works as had those Paul spoke of in Hebrews chapter 11. He, like David, would have to wait for that resurrection from the memorial tombs (John 5:28, 29) of the "righteous and unrighteous" sometime in the future.
Only then, when Christ was "in his kingdom", could this criminal expect to be in "paradise". Mean while he was dead, unconscious, (Eccl. 9:4-6), what Christ compared to sleep.(John 11:11)
"Where was Christ During the Three Days After His Death?"
Surfing in Waikiki.
"Surfing in Waikiki."
Walking on water some more, you mean?
He was dead. He was "in the heart of the earth" a Jewish idiom meaning "to be at one with" or buried. He was dead. But, He had the power to take up His life again. Only God has that power.
Since in the original manuscripts there are no punctuation marks, I have the right to decide where the comma goes just as much as anyone else. The King James translators didn't translate this - they interpreted this - and my interpretation is just as good as theirs(actually better than theirs). I agree with you, the comma goes before today. A Hebrew in a very serious and solemn situation talking to another Hebrew (both about to die is a very serious situation) would emphasize the seriousness by saying, "I tell you this today." Like we would say, "I'm telling you this right here and now, i.e. today.
Stop me before I find another one!
Vacationing on the Riviera.
Do you have a magazine that you'd like to leave with me, before you move on?
He had not been born again. He had not repented or been baptized or become a disciple and shown his faith by his works as had those Paul spoke of in Hebrews chapter 11. He, like David, would have to wait for that resurrection from the memorial tombs (John 5:28, 29) of the "righteous and unrighteous" sometime in the future.
I would put him right where Christ promised he would be... in Paradise. Jesus is the King of His Kingdom and the Judge of all mankind. We enter by His Sacrifice and at His invitation. There is a Japanese proverb that tells us "Beginning is easy... continuing is hard." Christ told us how to live... the thief showed us how to die.
Where was Christ after His Death and before His Resurrection? I would put Him in the underworld, announcing the Messianic age to those who had fallen asleep. You have cited a couple of verses. I offer the fact that Christ said He would offer the sign of Jonah. Where was Jonah for three days? In a fish? What does Jonah say?
Jonah 2:1Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fish, 2 and he said,
"I called out of my distress to the LORD,Though his body was in the belly of the fish, Jonah had gone to the depth of Sheol. He was dead. When Christ references the sign of Jonah, it is a reference to rising to life after three days of death.
And He answered me
I cried for help from the depth of Sheol;
You heard my voice.
Ask Him when (if?) you get there!
Jesus can do whatever he wants. He is not bound to do what the bible says he must do. Any takers?
His body was in the grave.
His soul was in Hades, specifically at one time in Paradise, also known as Abraham's Bosom.
His human spirit was with God the Father.
He laid down His life, His soul, to God the Holy Spirit in Hades, who then combined His Resurrection body with His human soul and human spirit at the grave, some 3 days later.
Good catch!
The real question is, "Where do you believe he was four days after his death?". That is the one that matters.
Dismas was saved by a baptism of desire which is recognized by all main line Christian faiths. Dismas knew he was a sinner. He knew he deserved what he was suffering, but he also knew righteousness when in its presence and asked for at least the little bit of mercy he thought he could.
That's where the Lord went, why he went and who went with him. Any questions?
He was grabbing the Keys of Hell away from a certain fallen angel.
Anybody surprised that al-Husseini didn't make them cover the statue?
He was in Sheol. Hell. The belly of the best.
"Truly I tell you today, you..." makes no sense. The thief thought Jesus was just a recording? Further, the saying "Truly I tell you," is a translation of a specific idiom. "Today" is not part of the idiom.
In Greek, "today" is used as an adverb. I'm quite sure whoever stuck the comma in there knew which verb it agreed with.
If you don't like the discussion of the Scriptures you can move on to your caucus and feel warm and safe. Bye.
Col. Kilgore is an admirer of his nose-riding technique.
Why not? He'd just been scourged and crucified and He had a few days clear on His calendar. Just because He's Lord and Savior doesn't mean He doesn't rate some r&r.
Repeating something to emphasize its seriousness is not uncommon as at John 10:10, "Amen, amen, I am saying to you".
I would say dying is pretty serious.
>"He, like David, would have to wait for that resurrection from the memorial tombs (John 5:28, 29) of the "righteous and unrighteous" sometime in the future. "
Let's see what Jesus has to say about death and the soul:
Luke 16:19-31
19 There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich mans table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abrahams side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.
25 But Abraham replied, Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.
27 He answered, Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.
29 Abraham replied, They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.
30 No, father Abraham, he said, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.
31 He said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.
Where was Lazarus? Answer: In Hell.
Where were his five brothers while Lazarus's soul was burning in Hell? Answer: They were alive and well, living on planet Earth.
Was Lazarus asleep, awaiting some future resurrection? Answer: No!
Therefore, you do greatly err in not listening to what Christ, Himself has to say on the subject.
How did they determine that Christ had died? Were they sure he was dead?
I think that was karma, maybe karma corn with a large drink!
How did WHO determine? To whom are referring?
The Catholic Creed states
" ... He descended into Hell. On the third day he arose again ... "
It doesn't say what He did during those days in Hell.
As children in Catholic school, we were taught that he was meeting and freeing those souls there.
Ripping his side open with a spear and watching the body fluids, which had separated between white and red fluids, discharge from the abdomen is pretty good forensic evidence.
Whoever put him in that cave...or said he had died or took him off the cross. I don't know exactly who. How did they determine he was lifeless and actually dead? Just wondering. You know how they used to bury people alive all the time in the old days.... not knowing their heart was still beating.
Do you not understand this parable? Do you not understand what Peter said about Christ being in Hades?
"Just because Hes Lord and Savior doesnt mean He doesnt rate some r&r."
Sure, he turned water into wine.
I think that you meant the 'rich man' in your response....
In answer to the original question as to where was Christ during the 3 day period, God exists outside of time and space. Thus the question is flawed.
Nah, it was too good of photo-op to pass up in that it reinforces the media's lie that Obama is a Christian while stroking Obama's ego by playing upon Obama's Lefturd, solipsistic belief that he, himself is the One, the holy of holies, God-like in nature:
"[sin is] being out of alignment with my values." - Obama
"Uh, yeah, I guess I do. Its not formal, me getting on my knees. I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. I think throughout the day, Im constantly asking myself questions about what Im doing, why am I doing it." - Obama
-—in other words, Obama sets his own standards for what sin is. And, the god he prays daily to for answers is himself.
So, the real question would be: How could he NOT pass up the opportunity?
Whoever put him in that cave...or said he had died or took him off the cross. I don't know exactly who. How did they determine he was lifeless and actually dead? Just wondering. You know how they used to bury people alive all the time in the old days.... not knowing their heart was still beating.
Jehovah's Witness.
Correct, comma boy?
Where's the invite to Kingdom Hall and a copy of "The Watchtower"?
Was that in the Bible? I started reading it once in a while...but at the beginning....so I don't know...
That that is is that that is not is not that that is is not that so
Yes, you're right. It was the rich man who was in Hell. Sorry about that. That's the problem with getting old, you cut&paste the scripture, so that it's right in front of you, and then rely on your failing memory to re-tell the story! LOL!
The day of his death was Day One. The next day was Day Two. The day of his resurrection, and of its discovery by the women that came to visit the tomb, was Day Three. On the third day is not the same as three days (72 hours) later, which seems to trouble many minds.
Minute by minute, day by day chronology, is a matter of much significance to the human mind and experience. In other realms, perhaps not so much.
Are we not told that He visited the souls in prison (hell)? I have a recollection of having heard that,but cannot find it written by a cursory search.
Where that ambiguity exists because we do use commas and all the nuances of the koine' Greek are not known, we can only rely on the whole of the Scriptures.
Where or if a comma is added will be determined by what the translator believes the meaning of Luke 23:42, 43 is.

First Run Features Grabs "Suspended Animation"
by Brian Brooks
First Run Features has acquired North American rights to Oscar-nominated filmmaker John Hancock's "Suspended Animation," the company announced late last week. The film brings the director, who received the Academy Award nomination in 1971 for "Sticky My Fingers...Fleet my Feet" (best short subject, live action subjects), back to his beginnings in the psychological-horror film genre.
"Suspended Animation" centers on Hollywood animator Tom Kempton who gets lost during a trip in the hills of Northern Michigan but finds shelter in an isolated cabin owned by a pair of sisters who have a penchant for cannibalism. He later escapes, however, but later develops an "unhealthy obsession with one of his captors."
"I'm pleased to have such a distinguished director with so fine a body of work to all us to release his scary and funny new film," commented Seymour Wishman, president of First Run Features in a prepared statement. The film will be released this Halloween (Friday, October 31) in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago with other markets added later.
Founded in 1979, First Run Features distributes international, documentary and children's films in theaters as well as DVD and video. Current releases include docs "Bonhoeffer" and "The Trials of Henry Kissenger," and the Italian comedy, "The Embalmer."

Here's Jonathan Liu from Wired's Geek Dad blog reviewing VIVOBAREFOOT's amphibious Ultra.The full article is worth a read if you're considering buying a pair of Ultra's sometime soon.
"[VIVOBAREFOOT] isn't kidding about the puncture resistance! I could feel a little lump under my foot, like I was standing on a bit of gravel, but the thorn didn't poke me at all." We've been talking about "proprioception" in our recently published eBook written by Lee Saxby and it seems like people are catching on."It's a curious sensation, being aware of the ground like this but not having to worry about cutting my foot open, and I enjoyed the run, relying on my sense of touch instead of using a flashlight for the path."

Awkward, embarrassing and dangerous
Watching a neighbor walk a couple of dogs by my house recently, it appeared more as though the group was attempting a complicated macramé pattern than going on a brisk walk. These sweet dogs were weaving in and out, twisting around my neighbor, their leashes, and each other. One word came to mind: chaos. I'm not picking on the person—just empathizing. I've had my share of leash mishaps, and...
Good Dog: Behavior & Training
Going the distance
I should have realized right away that something special was going on in a group dog-training session last spring. When I asked the participants to call their dogs to come and then run away, they all did, and with Whippet-like speed. Most people need lots of encouragement to run, and even then — looking sheepish — they tend to take a few half-hearted jogging steps at most. This was no ordinary...
Good Dog: Behavior & Training
Don't leave me!
Q Charley, a rescued three year- old Lab who'd spent his entire life in an outdoor kennel, was scared of everything when we first got him. He's been with us for eight months and now, he panics when we leave him alone. We have two crates, one in our house and one in our car. He goes into the home crate and stays there for about an hour. I've been gradually closing the door and even leaving the...

A simple approach is often effective
"I've been putting my hand in his food while he's eating since he was a puppy, so he's never growled at me over his food." This sort of comment sets my teeth on edge because repeatedly bothering a dog who is eating is actually an effective technique for teaching dogs to behave aggressively around food, NOT a great way to prevent it. Many such dogs start to growl, snap, or bite when someone...

Cue 'em in
Trainers spend a dog's lifetime teaching new cues and behaviors, but there are a few worth teaching every dog sooner rather than later. WaitDon't move forward. This cue is especially useful at doors. Dogs who wait are easier to take on walks and let in and out of the car because they don't go through the door until given permission. Wait is also a great safety prompt, in that it can prevent a...

Mental exercise improves quality of life
I love this video of a dog going performing a series of tricks and tasks. (It helps that this dog is so cute it hurts!) The first thing I notice when I look at this video is an adorable dog performing tricks. But I also see the benefits of a dog who has had ample mental exercise. This dog looks incredibly happy as she goes through her repertoire. Everybody knows that dogs need physical...

Understanding and helping fearful dogs
For the first month after he was adopted, Sunny spent his time in the corner of one room, in which he ate, slept, eliminated and watched the world go by. Murphy whimpered, barked, and chewed the carpet and the door whenever she was left alone. Tucker growled and lunged at every man he encountered. Maggie was inconsolable during thunderstorms— pacing, whining, circling, jumping in and out of the...

Study looks at sugar, self-control and performance
We ask a lot of our dogs. We ask them to resist food on the counter, to stay inside when the front door is open and to be quiet when dogs are barking next door. With my new puppy, I've been thinking a lot about self-control, which is the foundation for everything from household manners to agility skills. In humans, research has shown that there's a relationship between the brain's glucose supply...

An amazing event occurred recently at AnimalSign Center. There, I teach dogs, horses and cats enhanced communication skills.

It may not seem like a lot, but if every $15 million-per-picture actress were to do the same, the cumulative effect would be enough to neutralize a weekend's worth of emissions produced by a lesser-enlightened starlet's commute to and from Winston's in a Range Rover.

In the summer of 1968, the Beatles issued their first release on their own Apple imprint with the single 'Hey Jude.' A few months later, the idea for a side label, existing solely for the purpose of putting out more experimental outings, was proposed, which they called "Zapple."
On May 9, 1969, two Beatles-related releases, George Harrison's 'Electronic Sound' and John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 'Unfinished Music No 2: Life With The Lions,' became Zapple's first efforts. The label was run by noted author, and resident hipster of the day, Barry Miles, who also happened to be a close friend of Paul McCartney. Lennon and Ono put their avant-garde selves on display with 'Unfinished Music No. 2: Life with the Lions,' which was, in some ways, like wandering into the middle of the off-kilter duo's life at the time. Odd little 'songs' like 'Mulberry' and 'No Bed For Beatle John' were sung by Yoko while John noodled away on guitar. Si details
Experience music history at its best as one of the finest gentlemen of the music world and 60's icon, Frank Ifield heads to the Epstein Theatre. In an "in conversation" event he narrates his rise to stardom and is joined on stage by a musician and a singer who will perform a selection of great songs from the era.
Frank came from humble beginnings; singing in Coventry bomb shelters during the war and, after a rollercoaster journey, climbed the ranks of the music industry. Eventually topping the bill at Wembley Stadium and at Royal Command Performances and enjoyed success with four number one singles I Remember You, Lovesick Blues, Wayward Wind and I'm Confessin'. In this special evening, on Wednesday 28th May 2014, Frank will tell the stories behind his rise to fame, what life was like in the heady days of the '60s through to the day it all went bad - when he heard he would never sing again. Audiences will laugh with him as he re details
On the eve of the new leg of Paul's massive worldwide 'Out There' tour, due to commence in Tokyo on 17th May with two massive sold out shows at Tokyo's National Stadium, Paul has announced a special one off show at the Nippon Budokan on Wednesday May 21st.
Almost 48 years since The Beatles began the Asian leg of their 1966 tour at the Budokan, Paul will return to the legendary venue with his current tour. Speaking about his return Paul said: "It's very exciting to be returning to the Budokan because it is a very special place and was the first place we played in Japan. There was a lot of controversy at the time but I now know that it is a regular venue for a lot of people. But for me it has a very special place in my memory." A combination of fans and protestors meant that the 1966 shows were heavily guarded and the only people allowed on the venue floor for the concerts were security and accredited journalists. At the time Paul and the ban details
A guitar owned by George Harrison is heading to auction along with other Beatles and rock memorabilia. The Julien's Auctions sale is May 17 at the Hard Rock Cafe in Manhattan. The 1962 Rickenbacker 425 is estimated to bring up to $600,000.
Harrison bought the guitar in 1963 at Fenton's Music store in Mount Vernon, Illinois. He had gone there to visit his sister. He had the guitar refinished from a Fireglo red to black to match John Lennon's Rickenbacker. The auction also has a "Beatles '65" album signed by the Fab Four. It could bring up to $300,000. The auction house says any albums signed after Beatlemania began in 1964 are extremely rare.

Paul McCartney has admitted he didn't realise he'd fired up a Nirvana reunion until he, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear had been jamming for more than an hour. The former Beatle had been invited by Grohl to make music for his 2013 movie Sound City, but couldn't decide what to contribute when he arrived for the recording session.
McCartney tells Radio.com: "Dave said, 'Should we do an old rock'n'roll song?' A couple of the ones he mentioned I'd done with the Beatles. I said, 'I don't want to try to top those.' "I started kicking around and Dave jumped in on drums – there was no way there wasn't going to be any chemistry. Then Krist and Pat started playing alongside us, and we suddenly had a big thing going. It was all over in about three hours. All of us had a complete blast." The revelation that he was playing with the surviving members of Kurt Cobain's band only hit him midway through. "I didn't know I was in a Nirvana reunion," he says.

The home of Johnny Jones is quiet and plain from the outside. The only movement on this spring day comes from leaves skittering on the long and winding road that leads to the Tudor-style house.
But inside, the house is vibrating. On this day, as with most, it's from a track by the iconic British band The Beatles. Jones is an extreme Beatles fan. He's not alone, but few have gone to the length Jones has. Using paint, furnishings, murals and memorabilia, Jones has turned his Lakewood home into a temple devoted to The Beatles, classic rock and pop culture. Jones became a fan of The Beatles at the age of 3 when he heard "A Hard Day's Night." Now 51, he's still just as obsessed. He's been to the birthplace of the Beatles — Liverpool, England — three times. "Some people go to Jerusalem, I go there," Jones says. He doesn't dress like the Beatles, he is quick to point out. But he'd be forgiven if he did. Jones plays keyboard and guitar in a Beatles tribute band, Apple Jam. The name is a nod to The Beatles&rsq details
Sean Lennon has branded plans to clone his father John Lennon from Dna extracted from the late rocker's teeth as "bizarre, futuristic and dystopian". Last year (13) Canadian dentist Michael Zuk handed a rotten molar from The Beatles legend to scientists so they could extract Lennon's unique genetic code.
Zuk - who purchased the tooth for $30,000 (£20,000) - hopes experts will one day be able to clone the Imagine singer. However, Lennon's son Sean is unsure of the project and hinted it could end up the subject of legal action. He tells Nme magazine, "It's interesting thinking about what rights we have over our discarded Dna. Cloning in general is a legal area that's bizarre, futuristic and dystopian - and this about my dad's tooth definitely falls into that category."

Ever wondered what you should talk about if you bumped into Sir Paul McCartney, doing a spot of supermarket shopping in Heswall maybe? The answer is ... The Beatles. And don't be shy about it either, because the man himself says he never tires of chatting about his Fab Four days. In fact, he wishes people asked him more!
Being interviewed for the Kevin and Bean show on Los Angeles's KROQ radio station, Macca admits fans can be self-conscious and hesitate to ask because they think he'll be fed up of it by now. "I do enjoy it, it's like talking about your college days, when you're not in college anymore and there's quite a few years gone by," he says. "I'm looking back on it, it's like looking at a scrapbook. People think sometimes, I don't want to bore you, I don't want to ask you a Beatles question. "I say, 'No, it's OK.' "I could be at a dinner party and everyone is telling their stories, and I'm thinking, it'd be good if they asked me a Beatles questio details
Sir Paul McCartney treated fans and students to an impromptu Elvis style dance sequence as he visited the city yesterday. The former Beatle, who was back in his hometown to surprise students at his LIPA fame school as he hosted a masterclass for music students, was spotted looking refreshed and in good spirits despite only just flying in to the UK as he is currently in the middle of a world tour.
And despite being in town to host a music masterclass Sir Paul decided to show off a few nifty dance moves too. One onlooker told us: "Paul was in a great mood as he arrived at the fame school. "He made a real effort to greet the waiting fans, some of whom had been waiting since 7am outside LIPA to catch a glimpse of him, as he waved and shook hands before treating us all to a lot of Elvis style moves as he danced his way to his car. "He was actually quite good and the students seemed very impressed too."

"Kentbein's new Virginia Page" Virginia by Kentbein
Virginia Travel Guide: 7,861 reviews and 19,127 photos
I live approximately 30 miles outside washington, dc in a nice, pastoral, village in the heart of Virginia horse country. It's been interesting finding myself in this new environment, as i'm not an equestrian. The world revolves around horses where I now live, so it's an interesting change for me. I think I would have liked growing up around these animals, and I do like the village's people. It's refreshing being away from the congestion of the city, even with the long commute into work each day. Driving home through Virginia countryside certainly makes the time spent worthwhile.
I moved to Washington DC in the year 1980 after graduating from university in architecture. I worked for some private companies for eleven years, then spent eight years working as an architect for the government on the renovation of the Pentagon, just across the Potomac River from DC. Most of my Virginia page will be an insider's look at the construciton renovation of this little "city".
Besides its notoriety, the Pentagon is an interesting building and unique piece of architecture. It is a small city inside five very long walls. My favorite part of the job was being project manager for the roof replacement and after that pm for one of the areas below the first floor level.
Take the tours that are offered if you have a chance. The building itself is not exactly beautiful, but it is definitely interesting.
Virginia's economic wealth is astounding. The budget here in this one state exceeds that of most of the world's nations. I find that unbelievable and amazing. That available capital provides for loads and loads of community services. Parks are abundant and very nice places to visit. Skyline Drive and the Shennedoah Valley are outstanding. Hunters (I'm not) are in heaven, and culture is abundant.
Don't miss the Chesapeake Bay. Great food. Great sailing. Interesting history, and if you have time, get out to Virginia's horse country. You'll love the rolling hills, stone walls that line our roadsides, and the wildlife. I'm always seeing deer, owls, fox, groundhogs, eagles and hawks, and in the evenings hear some incredibly strange, wild animals I can only imagine what they must be. Whatever they are, the have a LOT of energy!!!
Welcome to Virginia when you come. It's interesting being near Washington DC, visit Alexandria, and do take the time to drive towards the Shennedoah Valley in horse and wine country. The vineyard at Linden, Virginia is a real treat, so do stop in and enjoy the Virginia mountainside, too. Feel free to ask me for specific recommendations if you like and I'll be happy to tell you what i know and recommend other knowledgable help if you like. email me at email@example.com for better response time, as I don't check VT as regularly as I once did, I'm afraid.
Happy travels!!

Murray Beats Federer in Shanghai Semi, Plays Djokovic for Title
Two-time defending champion Andy Murray beat top-ranked Roger Federer to advance to the Shanghai Masters tennis final today against Novak Djokovic.
Murray, the No. 3 seed from Britain, won 6-4, 6-4 at the Qi Zhong Tennis Center. The U.S. Open champion improved his record to 10-8 all-time against Federer, who this week clinched his record-extending 300th week atop the ATP World Tour Rankings.
"I was able to be very aggressive on his second serve," Murray said yesterday. "He, maybe, slowed down his first serve a little bit so I was able to take a few more chances on his first serve."
Federer's had difficulty with his serve and in one stretch he double-faulted three straight times.
"You'll pay the price by having an average game like that against a top guy like Andy," Federer said.
Second-seeded Djokovic beat No. 4 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-4 in the first semifinal. The Serb is 10-1 in his career against Berdych.
The last time the top four seeds reached the semifinals of an ATP World Tour Masters tournament was at Toronto in August

Breath, Eyes, Memory
Vintage Books, 1998 - Fiction - 234 pages
At an astonishingly young age, Edwidge Danticat has become one of our most celebrated new novelists, a writer who evokes the wonder, terror, and heartache of her native Haiti--and the enduring strength of Haiti's women--with a vibrant imagery and narrative grace that bear witness to her people's suffering and courage.ĀĀ
At the age of twelve, Sophie Caco is sent from her impoverished village of Croix-des-Rosets to New York, to be reunited with a mother she barely remembers. There she discovers secrets that no child should ever know, and a legacy of shame that can be healed only when she returns to Haiti--to the women who first reared her. What ensues is a passionate journey through a landscape charged with the supernatural and scarred by political violence, in a novel that bears witness to the traditions, suffering, and wisdom of an entire people.

CM Punk and Batista hanging out
CM Punk on Roddy Piper
While he has largely stayed away from things related to professional wrestling, CM Punk did have a little involvement this week. The former world heavyweight champion attended a screening of They Live, the movie which Roddy Piper is famous for starring in. Punk was tasked with giving a speech about the WWE legend. Through social media, he stated that it was an honor to do that for Piper.

Lana writing scripts
In a sign that she is preparing for life after WWE some day, Lana recently revealed through social media that she has started working on several writing projects. A movie script and a television pilot are being written, in case Hollywood comes calling some day. She also noted that she was writing a book and potentially a comic book, a door which was recently opened when CM Punk transitioned from being a wrestler to working for Marvel.

Punk and AJ in movie
There is an action horror movie being made right now called Hellstorm. The plot is that the financial world collapses and a huge world war breaks out. The film will focus on the aftermath, where survivors band together to live. UFC star CM Punk and former WWE diva AJ Lee both have parts in the movie. No word yet on how big their roles are going to be. Filming starts in November.

Punk loses role to Sheamus
As some of you may already know, CM Punk and Sheamus both auditioned for the role of Rocksteady in the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. The latter ended up getting the part. Punk was asked about losing out to his former coworker during a recent interview. He stated that he was fine with it because the studios really were looking for two heavily muscular performers for the part.

CM Punk in Ninja Turtles
One of the more interesting things that were revealed by CM Punk during his convention appearance over the weekend was the fact that he has already auditioned for a role in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. He refused to reveal which character he was trying out for, however. Punk wants to add movie star to his resume that already includes professional wrestler, mixed martial arts fighter and comic book writer.

CM Punk new comic
Rumors broke over the weekend that CM Punk was going to be writing a new comic book on the Punisher. It turned out to be another character instead, even though Punk did admit that he really wanted to write one for the Punisher. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that the character that Marvel gave him was Drax the Destroyer, which interestingly enough is portrayed by Batista in Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
April 26, 2015
Jericho turns down WWE movie
During his much talked about podcast interview with Colt Cabana, CM Punk revealed that he was up for the lead role of 12 Rounds Reloaded, but Randy Orton got the part instead. Those were not the only two wrestlers that were being considered by WWE at the time. John Cena was the first choice, as management wanted him to reprise his character from the first movie. It has now also been discovered that Chris Jericho turned down the role as well.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Durham Hillside quarterback Vad Lee has been named The Associated Press prep football player of the year for North Carolina in 2010.
Lee was the runaway winner, earning 11 of 15 votes from sports writers across the state in results released Friday. Charlotte Mallard Creek quarterback Marquise Williams was second with three votes after piling up 4,500 total yards and 65 total touchdowns.
Lee threw for more than 3,200 yards and ran for another 1,300 as Hillside capped an unbeaten season with its first North Carolina High School Athletic Association championship.
Lee was named most valuable player of the Class 4-A final after throwing for 264 yards and three touchdowns in the shutout win against Davie County.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Denzel Washington was not alone as he accepted his Golden Globe for "The Hurricane" Sunday night. The boxer he portrayed in the story of justice delayed was on stage at his side in the star-studded hotel ballroom.
"This man right here is love," Washington said of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, who was freed after spending years in prison for three murders he did not commit.
A ceremony that is often devoted to the fantasies of Hollywood, this time chose to honor a film that exposed a story of racism and the American court system.
"Everything that has happened with this film and this moment is about the love that has come from him," Washington said after being named best dramatic movie actor.
"American Beauty," a dark fable of life in suburbia, won awards for best drama, director and screenplay, while "Toy Story 2" was judged the best comedy movie.
But portrayals of real people caught the attention of Golden Globe voters.
Jim Carrey's uncanny impersonation of the late comic Andy Kaufman in "Man on the Moon" earned him the Globe fore best comedy movie actor. A year ago he won best dramatic actor for "The Truman Show."
"Second year in a row - what's going on here man?" said Carrey. "I'm the establishment I once rejected. ... I'm the Tom Hanks of the Golden Globes."
The best dramatic film actress Globe also emerged from a true story. Hilary Swank won for her breakout role in "Boys Don't Cry," in which she played a young woman who was killed after her masquerade as a man was discovered.
British actress Janet McTeer won best actress in a musical or comedy film for her performance as a Southern mom in "Tumbleweeds."
Tom Cruise of "Magnolia" and Angelina Jolie of "Girl, Interrupted" won motion picture supporting actor honors.
"All About My Mother," from Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, won the foreign-language movie award.
A poignant moment in the television categories came when Michael J. Fox was named best actor for the comedy "Spin City," which he announced he is leaving because of his fight against Parkinson's disease. But he handled it lightly.
"Actor out of work - news at 11," Fox said.
In the television categories, cable channel HBO and its stars were big winners.
"The Sopranos," which won few major awards at the Emmys last year, was named best drama series and dramatic acting trophies went to Edie Falco and James Gandolfini. The acclaimed mob drama also earned a supporting actress trophy for Nancy Marchand.
HBO's other winners were "Sex and the City" as best TV comedy, its star Sarah Jessica Parker as best actress, "RKO 281" as best miniseries or made-for-TV movie, and Halle Berry as best actress in a miniseries for "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge."
Among other TV winners, Jack Lemmon was named best miniseries or TV movie actor for Showtime's "Inherit the Wind."
"In the spirit of Ving Rhames I'm going to give this to Jack Lemmon," Lemmon said, recalling the year in which winner Rhames gave his trophy to Lemmon.
Peter Fonda was TV's best supporting actor, for the Showtime miniseries "Passion of Ayn Rand."
"American Beauty" was the leading movie contender going into this year's Golden Globes, a ceremony which can serve as a bellwether for the upcoming Oscars. The film had six nominees, including actress Annette Bening and actor Kevin Spacey.
Barbra Streisand, winner of more Golden Globe trophies than any other entertainer, including best actress for "Funny Girl" and "A Star is Born," received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for "outstanding contribution to the entertainment field."
The tribute, which forced presenter Shirley MacLaine to vamp when the TelePrompTer didn't work, chewed up a lengthy chunk of the slow-paced show's last hour.
"Someone asked me recently if they should be an actor and I said, 'If you have to ask then the answer is no, because the only reason to choose that life for yourself is because you feel passionate about it, because you have no other choice," Streisand said.
Some movies that received awards buzz were largely ignored. They included "The Green Mile" starring Hanks, "Anna and the King" with Jodie Foster, and "Angela's Ashes" starring Emily Watson. Stanley Kubrick's final film, "Eyes Wide Shut," received just one nomination, for best score.
NBC broadcast this year's awards, selected by reporters from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Golden Globe shows have come to be known for bordering on the giddy. In recent years, Jack Nicholson delivered a salty acceptance speech and Christine Lahti took the stage with toilet paper on her shoe, a reference to the year she was in the ladies' room when her trophy was announced.
The awards have gained in prestige, but they once were viewed with suspicion because of allegations of corrupt voting and questionable professionalism.
This year, association members quickly returned pricey watches sent to them by the company that released the Sharon Stone comedy "The Muse."
"We are not stupid," said association president Helmut Voss. The awards bring the group $2 million in income and members wouldn't endanger that by casting doubt on their integrity, he said.

Flip-flopping from primaries to general elections
I consider a model in which candidates must win a primary election to compete in the general election. Candidates may choose different policies in the primary and the general election, but doing so results in accusations of flip-flopping. I show that candidates adopt extreme policies in the primaries but then try to move closer to the center for the general election even though primary voters are forward-looking and anticipate this policy moderation. The extent to which candidates move closer to the center is constrained by flip-flopping costs, and candidates choose divergent policies in the general election. I obtain comparative statics results on candidate policy choices in terms of voter preferences.

The Island's Nuclear-Tipped Past; From Amityville to Rocky Point, Missile Sites Held a Cold-War Secret
By VIVIAN S. TOY
Published: May 28, 2000
SISTER MARGARET BRIODY was a young nun in training in Amityville when the Cuban missile crisis hit in 1962.
People streamed into her church, Queen of the Rosary Chapel, to light candles and pray that nuclear missiles would not rain down on the United States. She remembers because it was her job to replenish the votive candles and she could barely keep them stocked.
''Those were very tense times,'' she recalled. ''People were very worried we might go to war.''
The threat seemed especially real in Amityville because a missile base sat next to the campus of buildings owned by the Sisters of St. Dominic. Throughout the missile crisis, she said, uniformed soldiers could be seen rushing about, aiming 40-foot-long Nike anti-aircraft missiles at the sky to shoot down any enemy bombers that might come. Unbeknownst to residents at the time, those missiles were fitted with nuclear warheads, some more than twice as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The instruments of nuclear Armaggeddon were literally in their backyards.
To protect New York City -- an obvious target for any enemy -- 19 missile bases were built in the suburbs surrounding the city. Long Island had five sites, in Lloyd Harbor, Oyster Bay, Lido Beach, Rocky Point and Amityville. Other bases were built in the city, in Westchester and Rockland counties and in northern New Jersey. The ring of missile bases was the area's last line of defense against Soviet bombers.
There are few people around who remember the sight of missiles being carted across Long Island on trailers, and most of the bases have little more than a rusted chain-link fence left to them. Private homes have been built on parts of the Oyster Bay and Lloyd Harbor missile sites, and part of the Lido Beach site is now used for school bus parking by the Long Beach School District.
But now, a quarter century since the last base was closed, there are hopes that the missile site at Rocky Point can be placed on the National Register of Historic Places and someday turned into a cold war museum.
''A lot of cold war infrastructure is historically significant even though it's not very old,'' said Donald Bender, a military historian who researches Nike missile sites across the country for government agencies and who has started the process for historic designation. ''These missile sites aren't pretty like the old seaside fortifications that were built in previous centuries, but they're fascinating nonetheless.''
Instead of stately stone forts, they are steel and concrete bunkers buried in the ground and surrounded by barbed wire. Still, standing underground at Rocky Point's now-empty missile magazine, a cavernous room about 50 feet long and 60 feet wide, Mr. Bender easily conjures Strangelovian images.
''They make you think of spies, James Bond, secret codes, sirens blaring, red lights flashing,'' he says, his voice echoing through the dank expanse. ''It's cold-war scary.''
But for many among the hundreds of men who served on these Long Island bases, the ''missile years'' are remembered as their best years in uniform.
''It was different from other assignments,'' said Frank Hess, a 78-year-old World War II veteran who worked at missile sites on Long Island for more than 10 years. ''You're with a different group. These guys worked hard and it was a job, but it was in the line of defense of your country. We put in a lot of time together.''
It was the hours spent huddled underground, waiting for further orders and not knowing if the ''red status'' issued by higher-ups was real or just a drill, that bound these men in a way not easily forgotten.
''I would tell the guys to take it easy and then all of a sudden, we'd get a red status and boom, it was get to the pits, hook them up and get ready to fly them,'' said Mr. Hess, who lives in the same house in College Point where he lived while serving on the missile bases. ''And you never knew if it was practice or the real thing. The rest of the time, you'd be waiting for something to happen. After a while, it just gets in your blood.''
Mr. Hess joined the Army National Guard in 1955 and initially served at anti-aircraft gun batteries in Queens before moving on to missile bases on Long Island. The missile bases were initially staffed by the regular Army but by the 1960's had been shifted to the National Guard, which generally operated each base with about 90 full-time guardsmen and 40 or more weekend reservists.
Each of the Long Island bases had a launch area where the missiles were kept and about half a mile away a separate radar area that searched the skies for enemy aircraft. Each base had three missile magazines or ''pits.'' Each pit held 10 Ajax missiles, lined up side by side. The Ajax, the first generation of the Nike missile, could fly 1,600 miles per hour, reached altitudes of 70,000 feet and had a conventional warhead and a range of about 25 miles.
''All these things were obsolete the day they were put into practice,'' said Harold Borodiansky, who worked at four of Long Island's missile sites between 1957 and 1974. ''We knew they were obsolete, but we knew the government was always working on perfecting something new that would be bigger or faster.''

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Wade Markley threw two touchdown passes to help Butler beat Davidson 17-7 on Saturday.
Markley found Stuart Harvey for a 6-yard score in the second quarter and Matt Jenson for a 24-yard TD in the third quarter for the Bulldogs (6-4, 4-3 Pioneer League), who won in their home season finale. Markley was 15 of 22 for 168 yards with no interceptions and Butler committed no turnovers.
Davidson (2-7, 0-6) dominated the statistics, with a 26-12 edge in first downs. Jonathan Carkhuff threw for 303 yards, completing 37 of 47 attempts, and Chris Gorman gained 112 yards in 20 carries. But Carkhuff was intercepted three times, twice inside the 10-yard line, and the Wildcats could only score on Carkhuff's 16-yard TD pass to Gorman.
Zach Watkins caught five passes for 90 yards and David Lang kicked a 23-yard field goal for Butler.

A man who fatally beat and stabbed a woman inside his South Seattle apartment more than two years ago was sentenced Friday to more than 16 years in prison.
A Seattle man who beat and stabbed a woman 14 times after he picked her up outside a gas station cast his gaze downward as his elderly parents cried and his sister pleaded for their family to be forgiven for what he had done.
When it was Tuan Quach's turn to speak during his sentencing Friday for murder, he turned toward Jennifer Lehtinen's family and offered his own apology in the hushed Seattle courtroom.
"I am so sorry for everything I have done. I am so sorry for your pain," said Quach. "I stole Jennifer from you. I had no right."
Quach, 37, was sentenced to more than 16 years in prison for killing Lehtinen in a cocaine-fueled rage in his South Seattle apartment on May 1, 2007. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder with a deadly weapon last month, just days before his trial for first-degree murder was to begin in King County Superior Court.

Seattle police were called to Quach's apartment after neighbors said they heard a woman screaming, a police report said. Officers found Lehtinen's naked body and Quach covered in blood, prosecutors said.
Police say Quach had picked up Lehtinen, 42, in an area known to be frequented by prostitutes.
Lehtinen had been in and out of jail for a number of crimes. Her family always remained hopeful that she would get better, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Julie Kays said in court Friday.
"Despite Jennifer's circumstances, she wasn't a nobody," Kays said. "She has a family in this courtroom who miss her greatly."
Lehtinen's sisters, son and in-laws told Superior Court Judge Michael J. Fox how much they loved her and how much she's missed.
"She had her struggles; she had her own demons," said Joan Zefkeles, the slain woman's sister-in-law. "It doesn't mean she needed to be taken in this manner. Nobody deserves that."
Timothy Lehtinen, the slain woman's son, angrily told Fox that the 16-year sentence wasn't long enough. He later interrupted Quach's attorney, Ben Goldsmith, and said that blaming cocaine for the attack wasn't a strong defense.
Timothy Lehtinen later approached the judge after hearing Quach's tearful family to apologize for interrupting Goldsmith. He wished Quach "good luck" in prison.
