Quantum Leap Reported for Entangled Photons
For instance, Anton Zeilinger of the University of Vienna has transmitted a quantum key wirelessly over a distance of 144 km, between two of the Canary Islands. This is the longest distance quantum information has been transported through the air.
Zeilinger reported the record-breaking feat at the March Meeting. He and his research group produced entangled photons on the island La Palma, then sent one of the photons through the air to a receiving telescope on Tenerife, 144 km away.
The European Space Agency operates telescopes on those islands, located off the coast of Africa. The telescopes were ideal for the application because they are sensitive enough to detect single photons.
The photons' polarization states, representing 0s and 1s, form a quantum key, a string of bits used to decode a message in a quantum cryptography scheme. A quantum encrypted message would be essentially unbreakable, since any attempt at eavesdropping would destroy the message, making the eavesdroppers presence known.
In a press conference, Zeilinger likened the entangled photons to a pair of "quantum dice," that would always show the same number no matter how far they are separated.
Earlier this year the group reported having transmitted a quantum key using pulses containing more than one photon. At the March Meeting, they reported for the first time the transmission of single photons, which are more secure.
The rate of data transmission through the air was slow, at just 178 photons in 75 seconds.
Zeilinger says this experiment demonstrates the possibility of sending messages over much longer distances. He is now proposing a more ambitious scheme of using satellites or the International Space Station to relay quantum communications between two locations on Earth.
In addition to sending quantum codes over longer distances, Zeilinger is planning to set up a real quantum cryptography network in Vienna. Five participating groups would each build the hardware for their own nodes, and they would then be able to send each other quantum encrypted messages across the city. Zeilinger hopes to launch the network in 2008.
Quantum cryptography systems are commercially available, Zeilinger pointed out, but as far as he knows they have only been used for research, not for encrypting data.
Several groups reported at the March Meeting on progress towards quantum computers.
David Wineland of NIST leads one of several groups working on ion trap quantum computing, currently one of the most advanced quantum computation technologies.
In these systems, ions are trapped with electric fields, and then manipulated with lasers to act as qubits. Wineland and other researchers have been working to reduce the size of these traps, because smaller traps would enable faster computers, Wineland said. However, the ions tend to overheat in small traps. Wineland's design, with all electrodes on a single layer, resembles a computer chip. It could potentially reduce the overheating problem and serve as a building block for a larger quantum computer.
Also at the meeting, Jian-Wei Pan of the University of Heidelberg and Hefei National Laboratory in China, described his 6-photon quantum computer. He said his goal is to have a ten-photon quantum computer in five years.
Researchers generally agreed that a practical quantum computer is a distant goal. "It's far too early to say what a future quantum computer will look like," commented Zeilinger during the press conference.

Gentlemen Moderators, Worthy Opponent, Respected Audience:
My Brother said he believed that Jesus died for his people, for the church, and that he also died for others. There were those then regarded by him when he died as his church, and for whom he died, and there were others, all the others that were not his church, not so regarded when he died. There was a distinction between his church and the "others." Now, suppose any of these "others" should be saved, will they constitute part of his church?
He says a passage to prove a proposition must contain the exact terms of the proposition or the equivalent. Rom. 5:8-10 certainly does contain the equivalent. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we are yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by .his life." That proves evidently, as an equivalent of the terms of my proposition, that all for whom Christ die will be eternally saved, because when he died he made the reconciliation as I have proved.He quoted from Ezekiel, where God says by the prophet, "I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth; saith the Lord God; wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye." God is there addressing National Israel and speaking of the disobedient ones among National Israel. As his promises to that nation were conditional promises, if they obeyed God, under that National law, God preserved them; if they did not, God afflicted them. He had no pleasure in such affliction in case of disobedience under national law.
He referred to 2nd Peter 3:9, "God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." It is God's work to save sinners. This, my worthy opponent will not deny. Since it is God's work to save sinners, and since he doeth according to his will as the Bible declares, he will save all he wills to save. Therefore if this passage means all mankind, all will be saved. To come to repentance is to come to Christ. Christ says no one can come to him except the Father draws him. Then all that the Father wills to come to Christ will be drawn. If this passage means all mankind, all will repent and be saved. It is God's goodness that leads to repentance. Rom. 2:4. Since it is God's goodness that leads to repentance, if this passage means all mankind, all will come to repentance. If there are more references made to that, we have more.He said: "Why should measureless love leave one out?" According to his theory measureless love leaves millions out. Christ loving them enough to die for them, and God loving them enough to send Christ to die for them, yet millions are left out without a shadow of a chance for salvation, according to his theory. I dare him to deny it. Millions left out according to his system without the shadow of a chance for salvation.
He speaks of the infant. He tries to draw the string of sympathy again. This I anticipated. The infant, if saved, which it will be if it dies in infancy, was atoned for by Christ on the cross and its nature will be changed by regeneration and it will go to heaven. We will see later whether his system will take it there or not.
But he spoke of some probably being commanded to believe and yet could not, or having opportunity to believe and yet could not, and if they did they could not he saved because Christ did not die for them. Christ died for everyone who believes in Christ. Christ died for every one who ever repents of sin. Christ died for every mourner and every one who ever did mourn, and every one of them will go to heaven.
Speaking of the "ransom for all," he did not answer my argument relative to that, neither did he answer a single argument I made in my speech this forenoon. But he gave a passage which he thought was a kind of off-set to the passage of proof. This passage was 1st Tim. 2:6, where he said he gave himself a ransom for all. Ransom is here translated from antilutron. The preposition anti is here joined to the verb. It is a strong word translated ransom in this text. Anti means over against, corresponding to, in place of, in retribution or return for. Lutron is from the verb luo which means to loosen, unbind, set at liberty, So the word anti-lutron means the payment of such a price as retribution or return for as results in loosing or setting at liberty all for whom the ransom is paid. This fact is strengthened still by the phrase huper panton "for all." Huper (for) means in the attitude of protection, so that the idea of protection over all for whom the ransom was paid is definitely ex pressed. This makes it infallibly certain that all for whom this ransom was paid, for whom this blessed Mediator gave himself as a ransom, will be eternally saved. So when he says he gave himself a ransom for all he did not mean the whole human race. If he did, the whole race is going to heaven.
Speaking about taking away the sin of the world, I ask him if Christ took away the sins of the whole race, what will send any of them to hell?
Speaking of Christ tasting death for every man, in Heb. 2:9, he claims "every man" means the entire human race. Let's see. The phrase "for every man," is translated from the Greek phrase, huper pantos. It is not "for every man," but "for every." The word "man" is not in the original. This might be translated "for every one," if taken distributively, which means every one of the many brethren mentioned in the context, for whose salvation Jesus was made a perfect captain. Through suffering he was made the perfect captain of the salvation of all finally brought to glory by him, and not of all the human race. If he tasted death for every one of the human race, and thus became the captain of their salvation through suffering for them they will all be saved and be brought to glory. So he tasted death for those only for whom he was made a perfect captain. These were given to him by the Father, and he will ultimately bring them all to glory, and these are the "every man" that Jesus Christ tasted death for—every man understood in the context, and not the entire human race.
He refers to the 5th chapter of Romans to prove that Christ removed the Adamic sin, arguing that all men were lost by Adam's sin and all justified by Christ. If that means the entire human race will not the entire human race be saved in heaven? How will he escape Universalism?
The Apostle would have said it was for the infant in the infant state if he had meant them, but he speaks of men and not of infants. I deny that all that were condemned in Adam were justified by Christ. To admit that would be to admit Universalism, from which there would be no escape. Then he said, "Goodbye." I've come back. How d'y', Brother Throgmorton.
He called attention to John 11:49-52, to try to prove that Christ died for the Jewish nation, where it is said. "One of them—one of the Pharisees—named Caiaphas, being the High Priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And thus spake he not of himself; but being High Priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; and not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad." Then there were children of God that did not belong to the Jewish nation—but the Gospel had not been preached to others at all. Then God had a people among the Gentiles. I wish you would stick a pin there. Jesus' atonement had been made, not only for Jews, but for the Gentiles. His people among the Jews and among the Gentiles.
He speaks about the weak brother perishing: I Cor. 8:11, Now the Apostle is there writing to brethren in the church, and speaks of a weak brother in the church perishing. The argument of my friend is, that one who belongs to the church, is a brother in the church, might eternally perish. Do you believe in Apostacy? If not, why did you call attention to that? Did that mean a brother in Adam? How do you know it did? The Apostle is not writing to the Adamic family, but to the Church of God He means a brother in Christ. There might be many ways in which a person can perish and then not go to hell. There are different ways in which a person may perish. In II Peter 2:1, he says they deny the Lord that bought them. It does not say Christ bought them. Instead of kurios, the Greek word which is always used when Christ is meant, being used, it is despotes, referring to God as judge and ruler. He had bought them providentially by his mercy and goodness and they denied him. We will have more of that later if it is necessary.
In reference to my argument on the design, that God's purpose in design would be accomplished, he said that his purpose would be accomplished, but his pleasure would not.
II. Tim. 1:9: "Who hath saved us, and called us, with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began." If God's purpose will always be accomplished, then all that God purposes to call will be called.
In reference to I Tim. 4:10, Christ is not referred to there. God the Father is referred to, and in saying he is the Saviour of all men and especially those that believe, he leaches that he is the preserver of all men by his protection over them, particularly and especially them that believe. The word Saviour here in the Emphatic Diaglott is translated preserver. In Hind's Interlinear Greek Testament it is also translated preserver, so that time literal rendering would be preserver of all men, and especially those that believe. Now if he is the Savior of all men, he will save all, because it takes that to be a Saviour.
He quotes Rom. 3:25: "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God," and makes faith a condition of propitiation. Christ's death was not propitiation, then, for any except those that had faith in his blood. Now could I John 2:2 mean all the human race, where he said he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world, seeing that the whole world doesn't have faith? If it takes faith to make Christ the propitiation, then I John 2:2 doesn't refer to the whole world because the whole world doesn't have faith. That is Bible, Brother Throgmorton.
He then came to the answer of my third question and said Christ died to make the. salvation of all possible through faith.
I have a drawing on the map which I hope you will all see. This circle represents the human race, or the world—all mankind. This triangle, or this part of the circle, represents the part where the gospel is preached. This part of the circle represents those who never hear the gospel preached. This dark part represents the portion of the world that hears the gospel preached that are saved and become the children of God. Here is God, and Christ, and the Spirit. Here are preachers. God himself reaches this part of the human family through preachers. He cannot reach this part of the human family because preachers do not get there. Here is the devil down here. He encompasses the world, the whole world. He goes where God is, where God is not, and gets a large majority that live where God is in the world, according to his theory. Yet he says God has made the salvation of all possible through faith. I ask if it is possible for those to believe? Is it possible for them to have faith? If so, how? If not, I ask him again, Has God made the salvation of all the human race possible through faith? Come to the question. More, later
His laugh is so dry it cracks.
(Mr. Throgmorton, I didn't hear it.)
He said Christ saw us when he died on the cross, as his people—but further on he saw us all saved. Didn't he see us all when he died who will finally be saved? Question for you there."Oh! Jerusalem! Jerusalem! thou that stonest the prophets, how often would I have gathered your children together--- and you would not." This has reference to the people under the old Mosiac Law. The word was given to Israel. They would not obey his command. Jerusalem represented the Jewish nation under the conditional plan. He would have gathered doesn't mean he tried to gather, had his Spirit to go to their hearts, and could not because they would not. It does not mean that.He says his will of purpose stands, but that his will of desire is not always met. "We know that all things work together" for good to them that love God, to them that are called, according "to his purpose." Every one he purposes to call will be called. His purpose stands like the mountain, sir, and you will never get over that mountain.
I had not yet finished the argument that I was on when I closed my speech. I referred to Psalms 89 to prove that the covenant is absolute and cannot fail. Beginning with the 27th verse, concluding with the 34th:
"Also I will make him my first born, higher than the kings of the earth. My mercy will I keep for him ever more, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgment; if they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; then will I visit their transgressions with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fall. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips."
Then the covenant is absolute and cannot fail.
Isa. 54:9-10. "For this is a the waters of Noah unto me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee."
Then the covenant cannot fail. Christ is the one Mediator of this covenant.
Heb. 8:6. "But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises."
Christ is the surety, for all for whom he died, according to this covenant. Heb. 7:22.
The offerings made by the Levitical Priests were covenant offerings, and when accepted of God never failed to accomplish the end designed. So the blood of Christ which was shed for many for the remission of their sins, was covenant blood, and, being accepted of God, it accomplished the end designed, the eternal salvation of all for whom he died. In the covenant relation he stood as the great shepherd of the sheep which were given to him by the Father and for whom he laid down his life. They shall never be plucked out of his hands, or the hands of his Father. He gives to them eternal life and they shall never perish. In the covenant relation he stood as the husband of his bride, who were the people given to him in the covenant.
Isa. 54:5. "For thy maker is thine husband; the Lord of Hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall he be called."
Solomon saw this bride and asked, "Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness leaning upon her beloved?" Songs 8:5.
The angel said to John on Patmos, "Come hither and I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." Paul saw this relationship and declared that Christ gave himself for her.
Eph. 5:25. "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave himself for it."
Eph. 5:31, 32. "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and the church."
I now wish to present a summary of this argument to which I invite the special attention of my opponent.
All for whom Christ died were embraced in the covenant of Grace, because his blood was covenant blood. They were given to him by his Father in that covenant as his sheep and as his bride, to whom he thus became the Shepherd and the Husband. It was the Father's will that he should lose nothing of that gift, but that he should raise it up at the last day. He laid down his very life, spilt his covenant blood, for these sheep, for this bride, gives to them eternal life and declares they shall never perish. None shall be able to pluck them out of his hands or the hands of his Father. He will finally bring them to glory and pre sent them before his Father, saying: "I and the children which God hath given me." All this makes it absolutely certain that all for whom Christ died in that covenant sense will be eternally saved.
My next argument is that, as the Father made Christ to be sin for those for whom he died, in order that they might be made the righteousness of God in him, they will be eternally saved because the design of such a sacrifice cannot possibly fail.
II Cor. 5:21. "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
"For us" is there huper hemon, signifying standing for, or in the place of, in the sense of protection, so that what would be due to the person protected is satisfied in the, protector. This is very plain and positive language. Christ received this treatment from his Father who made to be sin; or, as the original might be rendered him as though he were sin itself, in behalf of all those for whom he died. He was made to be sin for them. The Greek word huper, rendered "for" in this text, means over or above, and signifies protection over that for which he died, sheltering those for whom he died from every impending danger and thus warding it off.(Time expired.)
Gentlemen Moderators, Ladies and Gentlemen
I come before you to continue the argument on the negative side of this question and to pay some attention to the speech to which you have just listened. However, before I come to that speech I desire to finish the argument which I was making in the forenoon. You remember I marked the place. We were speaking concerning Heb. 1:1-3, where Christ is said to be the brightness of his Father's glory and to be upholding all things by the word of his power and where it is said that when he had by himself purged our sins, he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.I had reached this point: This does not mean that all for whom he died will be eternally saved. I had given that statement. Now I proceed from that. It means that he thus redeemed himself from that under which he had voluntarily placed himself. As Brother Daily showed in his last argument he satisfied for himself, and was therefore placed above the angels and every name that is named.
At the same time he ransomed the race from the one sin of the first man. This my opponent desires to escape. Jesus took away the sin of the world. That doesn't mean the sins of actual transgression, but the sin that was on the race because of the one sin of the one man in the beginning. He took this away, so that no man will ever be lost on account of Adam's sin; so that as to Adam's transgression every child of the race is clear until he sins himself. Does my opponent deny that?I have one question I want to give Brother Daily right here. He can answer it at his leisure. (Hands paper.)Now I want to quote Rom. 5:18 again. "Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation." Whose was the one offense? Adam's. Who were the "all men" upon whom the condemnation came by Adam's disobedience? What does Paul say? "As by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation." Not by their own transgression, but because of Adam's transgression.
"Even so by the righteousness of one," that is, the righteousness of Jesus Christ, wrought out and finished on the cross, "Even so by the righteousness of one, the free gift came upon"—how many? "Upon all men," the same "all men" mentioned in the first part of the verse. My opponent says if that means all men, all men will be eternally saved, and told me "good bye." It does mean universal salvation from Adam's transgression, but not from actual transgression. There will never be a man in hell at last on account of Adam's transgression unless it is Adam himself. "In Adam's fall we sinned all," but Christ died for us and took that sin away. So when infants die they are saved, and God does for them whatever is necessary to make them enjoy heaven and the Father's glory. At the same time Jesus became a propitiation.—that is, a "mercy seat"—as it may be rendered in Rom. 3:25-26—for actual transgressors, in the sense that God was so satisfied with what Jesus had done that he could be just and justify any sinner who would believe on him. That is what the Book says. Thus "he is the Saviour of all men and especially of those that believe." That translation doesn't suit Brother Daily? So he wants to take Benjamin Wilson's version, that he is the "preserver" of all men. Who is the laugh on, Brother Daily? Jesus is divine and he is "God over all and blessed forever;" and if you make Jesus the preserver of all men, it is because he died for them, and for no other reason.
But now I pass to another thought. He said Jesus shed his blood for the remission of sins, and asks shall it fail? No, sir. No, sir. Sins are remitted—Jesus doesn't fail. "He shall not fail nor be discouraged!" I have been looking for him to quote that.
Brother Daily refers to Eph. 1:7 and to Col. 1:14, "In whom we have redemption." This redemption is not something that we obtained on the cross when Christ died. Redemption is forgiveness! When did you get forgiveness, Brother Daily? Back there? or in the hour in which you fist believed? Tell us! Col. 1:14, "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. "When were you for given? When Christ suffered on the cross? or when he met you in faith? I was forgiven when I met him in faith. Before that I was under the curse; I walked even as others; but when I came to him and believed on him, he met me and forgave my sins. That is what the redemption is.
Then we have this in John 3:16-17: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might he saved." As I said this morning, this was not that the world should certainly be saved; not so; but that the world through him might be saved.
Notwithstanding Brother Daily's beautiful picture, this language offsets it. Here is God—Christ, the Spirit, and the preachers and this down here (refer ring to diagram). Isn't it possible for all these (the lost) to reach this (salvation)? You go and read the Old London Confession on Contingencies and learn that even Predestination doesn't get away from second causes! and here in John 3:17 it stands in letters of light that "God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be"—what does might be mean? Any schoolboy knows—"the world through him might be saved." That wasn't all of his mission. But it was his mission.
Certainly all who are saved from actual transgression have redemption or forgiveness in him; but no man is forgiven until he believes; while full forgiveness is in Christ for all men if they believe. How could I make that any plainer?Reference has been made to Titus 2:11-14. I have something to say on that passage. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men; teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." Not a thing in this passage to show that Jesus died for those only who will be eternally saved. The first statement is that the grace which brings salvation has appeared to all men. How? in what Jesus has done for them. See Rom. 5:18; john 1:29. See also john 1:9, "That was the true Light"—Christ that died—"that was the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." Will you make that light God the Father? Jesus Christ was the true light which lighteth every man. Will you say these were only the elect? They were all—every man that cometh into the world. Therefore my opponent's proposition cannot be true.
Also we find that the Holy Spirit was sent for the benefit of the world. John 16:7-9, "For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment; of sin, because they believe not on me."
Titus 2:14, teaches that Jesus Christ gave himself for believers, but not for believers only. He gave himself, a ransom for all. See 1st Tim. 2:6. See also Jno. 6:51, "His life he gave for the life of the world." The purpose of his ransom in Titus 2:14 was that he might redeem sinners from all iniquity, purify them and make them a peculiar people, zealous of good works. But we know this does not express all the purpose of it. See Jno. 3:16-17 again.
My brother also refers to Heb. 11, 14: "But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us, for if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh; how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" Now I want to examine this passage candidly and show that it doesn't sustain my friend's proposition. Just as the goat of sin offering was killed outside the tabernacle, Jesus was put to death on the cross, "Outside the camp." And just as the High Priest in the tabernacle service took the blood of the goat which was slain, into the most holy place and there made an atonement, so Jesus as the high priest took his own blood into Heaven itself, after his resurrection, and there made and is making the atonement. No atonement on the cross. It is made in the most holy place by the blood shed on the cross, It must be made in the most holy place, Heaven itself.
There Jesus made "purification of sins" as to himself, and of the Adamic sin as to the race, and was "set forth to be a propitiation through faith" for every actual sinner who believes in him. See 1st John 2:2, and Rom. 3:25-26.The eternal, redemption means this: He has redemption in hand (which means forgiveness) for every actual sinner, but the actual sinner doesn't possess it. It is made over to the actual sinner when he believes, but never otherwise. Jesus has redemption for every one from the guilt of Adam and has made it over eternally to the race. He has redemption for the race from the grave, and will make it over to every one in the resurrection. But this does not mean that all actual transgressors will be eternally saved. We know that some are not saved now; so some may not be to morrow; some may not be next year; some may not be to all eternity. This is the logic of it. And as to the Bible we know he gave himself a ransom for all, and we know that some whom he thus bought will eternally perish. See 2nd Peter 2:1-12 and so on.My friend quoted the Greek word for Lord in 2nd Peter 2:1. It is "despotes." He would have you think it does not mean Christ. I want first to define the word; then to give its usage. It means "a Lord, or Master." See lexicon. It occurs in Luke 2:29, where it means God. So also in 1st Tim. 6:1. In Jude 4, it occurs and Jude says it means Christ! And Jude is considering the san situation that Peter is in 2nd Peter 2:1, where the word occurs in Rev. 6:10, it evidently means Christ. The very meaning he says it doesn't have: So we see in 2nd Peter 2:1, "despotes" means Christ, and Peter says the Lord (despotes, Christ) bought these men who utterly perish in their own corruption. Brother Daily says the buying of them refers to God's ownership of them, as the Creator!
The blood of Christ purges our conscience from dead works. When? Back there when the blood was shed? Tell us. Is that what you mean—that your conscience was purged from sin when Christ died on the cross? Mine was purged in my lifetime by the application of that blood. And Christ's blood when shed on the cross per se, cleanses no one. That only the application of the blood can do. It is the blood applied that does this thing. Let me read you Acts 15:7-9. It will show you when the purification takes place: "God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;"—now listen !—"and put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith." Not without faith— nor yet when the blood was shed; but by faith when the blood was applied. That is when the purging takes place as to the actual transgressor.See 1st Peter 1 :22, 23, "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto un feigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently." You have pure hearts. See that you use them. The pure heart comes by obeying the truth, which means believing the gospel.Then we come to Romans 5:9, 10, which seems to be a sort of favorite with my brother. "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." Do you mean that we were justified by his blood when the blood was shed? Be plain on that point. "Much more now— being justified"—Can his blood act now, 1800 years after his blood was shed? Yes; it justifies men now. The act of justification takes place now—we shall be saved from wrath through him ;" for "if, when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." Do you mean that reconciliation took place on the cross? You wasn't reconciled then. You was born after that, and grew up and became a sinner and became dead in sin. You wasn't reconciled then, but there came a time when you was reconciled, and it was done by the death of Christ, not when the death took place, but when you believed in that death. That was when you was reconciled. Not before then. To speak of a man as you was and as I was before we believed, as being reconciled is ridiculous! Perfectly ridiculous! But there comes a time when a man is reconciled by Christ's death. Then the promise is that he shall be saved by Christ's life. That is what this passage means.
In Dan. 9:24, Brother Daily thinks he finds something. Let's see. I want to show that the proofs he thinks are in the passage are not there. Now watch:
"Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon the holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy!" How much proof is here for Brother Dailey's proposition? Let's look at it. Is there a word in this passage to show that all for whom Christ died will he eternally saved? Not a syllable. "To finish the transgression." This does not mean that after Christ's death there was no more transgression even on the part of the elect. The marginal rendering is "to restrain the transgression!" "To make an end of sins." This does not mean that after Christ's death there were no more sins. There is no indication that this means reconciliation in the sense of eternally saving all for whom he died. "To bring in everlasting righteousness" does not necessarily mean that all for whom Christ died will be eternally saved. The most this can mean is that at the time appointed and by the means of that death, was provided a way by which transgression should be finished and sins should end. That was what it was for. It was to bring that about. It was that by which everlasting righteousness should be brought in. But all these things come to the actual transgressor only when he believes. Regeneration and redemption come then. It he believes, his sins are forgiven. That is when the sinner's debt is paid. Not that the payment is in the belief. The payment has been prepared for. There is a difference in the preparation of a ransom and the payment of the ransom. Christ is the ransom in hand for every sinner, and when the sinner comes and believes in him, that ransom is paid over to God, and God is satisfied with that man—reconciled to him. That is reconciliation. He is reconciled to God. Rom. 3;21, 22, "But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested being witnessed by the law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God. which is by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe." These are the ones; these who believe.
But now his last speech. I want to notice a few things in it. Remember what we say here is to be printed. So we are not paying so much attention to this and that except as occasion comes up, although we propose to examine every passage, as the discussion proceeds, that seems in any, way to sustain his position. He says I make a distinction between the church and others. He doesn't. If others should be saved, will they be a part of the church? They are the church then, are they not? Did the church exist when Christ gave himself for it or not? No! The church was future and was to be made up as he said of those that repent and believe. You wasn't in the church until you believed. Before that you was a stranger to the covenant of promise. Under the curse. But when you believed, you became a part of this thing you call a great universal church. If anyone else comes to believe, he, too, comes into it.Speaking of 2nd Peter 3:9, Brother Daily says God's work is to save sinners. But that is not all of his work. God's work is to provide the ransom for sinners; to offer the gift of his Son to sinners. All this is God's work. "He will, save all he wills to save."
In the sense of determination, that is true, but Jesus determined to save everyone that believes and he determined to save every son and daughter of Adam's race from the one sin of Adam's transgression. That is already settled. Eternally fixed.Matt. 23:37, refers, Brother Daily says, to Jerusalem as a nation! Where did he find that out? Jesus was talking. He said, "I would; you wouldn't." If God's will is always done when he wills, in whatever sense, why not in this? Isn't God just as powerful in one day as in another? That was a sort of make-shift, Brother Daily. You ought to find something better. In Brother Daily's theology "all God wills" is equivalent to this: That a sinner's will has nothing to do with his salvation. God wills and the sinner's will has nothing to do with it! The will of Jerusalem had something to do with it. Yet I don't suppose he would have a sinner saved against his will. That would be contrary to the Old London Confession. He says Christ died for all who believe. I say he died for every one.All that Greek my brother quoted—that is all well enough—I don't think he misstated the meaning of any particular word in Heb. 2:9. But suppose "every man" is "every one"! What figure does it cut? Of whom is Paul talking? Who are they? Go back to the 6th verse. What is meant? Isn't it all men? He is talking about "man" and the "son of man." He goes on and tells us that God put all things under the foot of man and of the son of man and then says: "We see not yet all things 'put under' him, but we see Jesus made a. little lower than the angels for the suffering of death crowned .with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every one." Every one of whom? The people he was talking about of course! Man and the son of man. Every man and every son of man makes it still stronger. Thank you, Brother Daily; you are doing some good as you go along.
I want Brother Daily to remember this: That a ransom must be provided for the thing you intend to pay it for, before you pay it! He makes no distinction. He makes the working out of the ransom the providing of the ransom—the same thing as the payment of the ransom. They are very different! Very different!"Well" he says, "if Christ takes away the sin of the race, can any go to hell?" I said Christ to take away the sin of the world, the guilt of the world for the one sin that Adam committed. Will anybody go to hell on that account? If Brother Daily thinks he will. I want him to tell us. But he asks, "If Rom. 5:12-18 means the entire human race, how do we escape Universalism?" and he denies that all the guilt of Adam's transgression as to all men was taken away by Christ. The guilt of Adam's transgression is on the infant, he would say, and it is not taken away; consequently the infant dies. Oh, yes, it is taken away from the elect infant, he says. And God won't let a non-elect infant die, according to Brother Daily. He would have mothers praying for their infants to be non-elect, so that they may live and grow to manhood and womanhood, because if they are elect God might take them in infancy. But he will not, if they are non-elect. That is Daily's doctrine.(Time expired.)

But if sweat sessions make you want to eat less, then why aren't exercisers everywhere losing weight like crazy? "In most studies, there is a poor correspondence between appetite and actual food intake," says Braun. In other words, just because you may not feel as hungry as normal, it doesn't prevent you from eating too much after a workout anyway.
So what can you do to avoid post-workout binging?
1. Stop rewarding yourself with food. You don't want to train your brain to expect a treat every time you burn some calories.
2. Keep a log. For one week, write down everything you eat. Studies show that simply logging your meals can make you eat less. And remember: That energy bar, that handful of peanuts or square of chocolate counts, too.
3. Don't skip the gym. "Exercise gives you benefits that dieting alone cannot, such as increased fitness, decreased stress, and increased muscle mass, which helps you burn more calories and fat at rest, " says Kym Guelfi, associate professor at The University of Western Australia, and co-author of the Metabolism study.

In year 1987, INTASC was formed which stands for Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium. It was made up of the national education organizations and state education agencies. The prime goal of INTASC is to reform the licensing, preparation and professional development of teachers. This is mainly based on the idea that the well trained teacher should integrate content knowledge with the requirements of students and specific strengths to make sure that all students are able to learn and perform well at the higher levels. In order to achieve these goals, INTASC has created ten different standards for novice teachers. It must be noted that INTASC standards were developed by keeping in view the advanced certification standards of National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. These are the standards which are used to obtain national teaching certification. They offer an in-depth view of the skills which should be demonstrated by new teachers. They are developed to act as a representative of the characteristics which novice teachers must have to become a successful teacher in classroom.
The new teachers must strive to meet these standards. Below mentioned is the extract of INTASC standards:
Standard 1: Content Pedagogy
He or she must understand the central concept and structure of discipline must be created in such a way that students can learn from it effectively.
Standard 2: Student Development
The teacher must be able to understand the student's ability to grasp things and must come up with the methods that can offer better personality development of the students.
Standard 3: Diverse Learners
The teacher must know that the students have different capabilities of learning and based on that must train them.
Standard 4: Multiple Instructional strategies
The teacher must be able to understand and use a variety of instructional strategies so that they are able to solve problems, think critically and show better performance.
Standard 5: Management and motivation
The teacher must be able to understand individuals and create a learning environment to encourage positive social interactions, self-motivation and active learning engagement.
Standard 6: Technology and Communication
The teacher should use verbal, non-verbal and media communication to impart knowledge in the students for their better understanding of the subject matter.
Standard 7: Planning
It is highly recommended that the teacher must be able to plan various things for students such as curriculum, community and students and knowledge of subject matter.
Standard 8: Assessment
The teacher assesses the students formally or informally to evaluate the social, intellectual and physical development of the students.
Standard 9: Reflective Practice: Professional Development
The teacher is considered as a reflective practitioner who can evaluate the effects of the choices and actions on others and prepares students to face world professionally as well.
Standard 10: School and community Involvement
The last standard of INTASC standards is to develop the relationship amongst students, colleagues, society, parents and various other agencies to support learning and well being.
Above mentioned is the overview of standards developed by INTASC. For more detailed information; you can visit the websites on the internet.

Do different cohomology theories essentially just exist because there are distinguished homology theories associated with them? If yes, is it known if there is always a relation like the Poincaré duality? If no, is there such a thing as a universal cohomology, where you can map down to specific ones.
In the same line of thought, how many diffent homologies can be defined for a certain compex and how many complexes can be defined for a certain topology?

Experts have long said that even short periods of exercise can boost heart health. Now there's new proof. According to a study of postmenopausal women, just 10 minutes a day can help improve cardiovascular health. Quick stints "have a dual beneficial effect," says cardiologist Peter Diamond, MD, of the University of Illinois Medical Center. "They improve lean muscle mass, which helps the body burn more calories, and the aerobic activity promotes fat burning." Heart disease risk increases after 40, so this simple, effective, two-for-one workout is twice as smart now. Choose sequence A, B, or C.
Workout Details
Time it takes: 10 minutes. Set a timer for one minute, repeat the first move until the bell rings, then reset the timer and do the next move for a minute, and then the next. Continue until you've exercised for 10 minutes. If you have 20 minutes to spare, add a second sequence (see below). String all three together for a 30-minute, full-body workout.
How often: Do at least one sequence every day. A few times a week, combine two or three sequences for a longer workout, or do two or three separate 10-minute sessions over the course of a day. To keep your heart rate up, rest for no more than 20 seconds between exercises.
See results: You will feel stronger after one week, and notice tighter muscle tone in six weeks.
Complementary workouts: Do at least 30 minutes of cardio exercise, such as walking or jumping rope, three to five times a week.
Equipment needed: An egg timer, a towel, a pair of light dumbbells (3 to 5 pounds each; $12 to $17 per pair) and a fitness ball ($15 to $20). A soccer ball or basketball will also work.

After a 5-2 win over the Czech Republic on Wednesday, Feb. 19, Team USA will be heading to the semifinals of the Olympic Men's Hockey Tournament.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward James Van Riemsdyk started off the scoring early for team USA, getting USA on the board merely 1:39 into the game.
However, Edmonton Oilers forward Ales Hemsky knotted the game up for the Czechs less than three minutes later.
Los Angeles Kings captain Dustin Brown would put the Americans back in the lead 2-1 with 5:22 remaining in the opening period.
The Americans then grabbed a 3-1 lead with a goal by David Backes of the St. Louis Blues with merely two seconds remaining the first period.
A goal by Minnesota Wild forward and Team USA captain Zach Parise gave the Americans a 4-1 lead 9:31 into the second period, and Phil Kessel of the Toronto Maple Leafs gave them a commanding 5-1 lead 2:01 into the third period.
The Czech's would get one more goal by Ales Hemsky with seven minutes remaining to cut the USA lead to 5-2, but that would be the end of the scoring as Team USA would hold on for victory.
Shortly after Team USA officially notched their victory against the Czech Republic, Team Canada narrowly escaped an upset with a 2-1 victory over underdog Team Latvia, setting up a highly anticipated rematch of the 2010 Gold Medal game between USA and Canada.
However, this time the winning team will not immediately be awarded with gold medals, but instead with a date with either Finland or Sweden in the Gold Medal Game on Sunday morning at 7 a.m. Eastern.

Take a bite out of uncomfortable and potentially dangerous parasites that plague our pets
Keep these disease-spreading pests off your pet
Now that summer has arrived, our pets are spending more time outdoors, which can put them at risk for fleas and other harmful parasites. The good news is that pet owners can prevent these problems before they start.
"Especially during these summer months, preventative care for your pets is important when it comes to parasites," said Angie's List founder Angie Hicks. "Because it's very easy for them to pick up fleas, for example. The treatment is much more expensive than the preventative maintenance is."
The research team at Angie's List, the nation's leading provider of consumer reviews, asked highly rated veterinarians about common parasites and how to prevent them.
Hinder heartworm
- While you should administer heartworm prevention medication year-round, it's especially vital that you give your pet a preventive when the weather gets warmer. Heartworm, a parasitic worm that lives in the heart and pulmonary arteries of an infected animal, spreads through mosquitoes.
- Preventing heartworm disease in dogs is much easier than treating it, a process that usually takes a series of injections, hospitalization and exercise restriction. Some cats can fight off the disease themselves, but no approved treatments exist in the U.S. for feline heartworm.
- Dog or cat heartworm preventives come in the form of a monthly chewable. However, you'll need to obtain a prescription from your veterinarian, who may require a heartworm test before supplying the medication.
Make fleas flee
- Fleas, parasites that feed on blood, can jump up to 2 feet in the air, which makes your four-legged friend's fur their personal breeding ground.
- Flea bites itch, which can lead to excessive scratching, licking and biting at the skin. In addition to skin irritation, fleas can cause hair loss and tapeworms in both cats and canines. Dogs with particularly bad reactions to fleas may get hot spots, or red, itchy spots on the skin that often appear moist and oozing.
- Even if your feline friend never takes a single step outdoors, you should still administer flea preventives since humans easily track fleas in from outdoors.
- Flea preventives may be administered in pill form or through a topical treatment. Some brands offer both flea and heartworm prevention.
Turn away ticks
- Ticks can transmit Lyme disease and other illness to dogs. Cats can also contract sicknesses similar to Lyme disease.
- Signs of Lyme disease in dogs include lameness from inflammation in their joints, lack of appetite and depression. If the disease progresses, it can damage the kidneys.
- A vet can treat the disease with antibiotics, but your dog may be left with lingering joint pain
- If you live in an area with high tick infestations, such as in southern states or heavily wooded areas of the Northeast, be sure to treat your pet.
- To prevent ticks, apply a topical treatment ¬— most flea preventives also kill ticks ¬— or fit them with a tick collar.
"The important thing to keep in mind when it comes to pet and parasites is they don't just impact your pet," said Hicks. "For example, I recently heard from a woman who had an indoor cat and the cat got out one day and came back with fleas. So, not only did she have to treat the pet, but she also had to try to rid her home of fleas as well, which is not an easy task."
Bottom line: talk to your vet. There are very effective products that protect against all of these parasites at a fraction of the cost for treating their effects and getting rid of them. The best source for these products is your veterinarian. He or she is has extensive knowledge of the parasite life cycles and the products used to protect our pets and our environment.

Nov. 15, 2010
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Junior libero Lainey Gera was named Pacific-10 Conference Player of the Week on Monday. Gera tied a school record for digs in a three-set match with 28 against Arizona State on Friday and followed that up with 27 more digs against Arizona on Saturday to average 7.86 digs per set in a pair of Bruin victories.
On Friday against the Sun Devils, Gera was digging everything in sight, recording 28 of the Bruins' 57 digs in the match. The junior posted eight digs in the first set and 10 apiece in the second and third stanzas. The 28 digs equaled the school record set by Chrissie Zartman, who had that total on Dec. 4, 2004 against Long Beach State.
On Saturday, Gera notched her 24th career match and ninth this season with 20-plus digs. She again had a great first set, posting nine of the Bruins' 20 digs in the opener. The Wildcats avoided hitting her way in the second and third sets, as Gera had just nine digs in the two stanzas. But in the fourth, Gera was again a factor with nine of UCLA's 16 digs.
Gera has moved into fourth on UCLA's all-time digs list with 1,283 and will next surpass three-time All-American Nellie Spicer, who had 1,299 digs as a Bruin. Gera leads the Bruins and all Pac-10 players in digs per set with 4.84 dps.
The award is the first of Gera's career. It is also the first Player of the Week honor for the Bruins this season and the 55th all-time weekly recognition.
The Bruins head to Oregon for their final regular-season road trip when they take on 23rd-ranked Oregon on Friday at 7 p.m. and Oregon State on Sunday at 12 p.m. Gametracker/live stats will be available at UCLABruins.com.

If happiness is valuable then Liverpool must be saving theirs up for a rainy day… Kenny Dalglish, Luis Suarez and the Anfield collective doing their best to share as much depression around the league as possible. Disappointing for a set of supporters who seemed ready to move on after realising their own ridiculous situation. But as it happens, Patrice Evra is no longer the one stuck between a rock and hard place. KD is…and this rock might be hard to shift.
To assess the fall-out and cave-ins of the weekend, the pod are a collective of four: this week obsessed with Liverpool and how they can move forward after this. Posing more questions than usual and wondering if Liverpool have the ability to attract and spend on a new star.
Football was played in many different positions across the league. It has stacked the next few weeks up quite well as Arsenal and Spurs vie for top dog position in London, looking back at a disjointed Chelsea. How time changes: Bolton embody that idea, looking up at the promoted lovelies of Norwich and Swansea compete to entertain the fans in their own way.
So was football a winner or a loser this weekend? Let the pod know…Tweet along with the match or tweet along with the podcast and give us your views for the next show:

BUSINESSDESK: New Zealand retail sales rose more than expected in the June quarter as people spent the most on cars and vehicle parts since the series began in 1995.
The total volume of spending rose a seasonally adjusted 1.3% to $17.25 billion in the three months ended June 30, Statistics New Zealand says, led by a 7.3% boost in expenditure on motor vehicles and parts.
That outpaced the 0.7% growth forecast in a Reuters survey of economists. The volume of spending on fuel fell 2.6% to $1.57 billion in the period, its second quarterly decline.
Stripping out motor vehicle related spending, core retail sales climbed 0.9% to $13.4 billion.
In value terms, which accounts for both volume and price movements, spending rose 1.1% to $17.62 billion, with core retailing up 0.7% to $13.41 billion.
The kiwi dollar rose to 81.06 US cents after the report was released, from 80.92 cents immediately before.
The figures come after an ANZ Roy Morgan survey showed consumers grew more optimistic this month, with the number of people willing to buy big-ticket items outnumbering those who aren't.
Retailers have had to contend with tepid consumer demand over the past couple of years as households put more of their discretionary spending into repaying debt rather than hitting the stores.
That has seen an increase in discounting as stores compete for market share.
The value of actual sales rose 4.8% to $17.01 billion in the June quarter from the same period a year earlier, with a 13% lift in spending on motor vehicles and parts, and a 12% rise in non-store and commission-based retailing.
Unadjusted retail sale volumes were also up 4.8% to $16.67 billion from the June quarter last year.
The seasonally adjusted volume of spending at supermarkets and grocery stores, which accounts for 23% of retail sales, rose 0.3%to $4.06 billion in the June quarter, with values up 0.7% to $4.21 billion.
Retailers built up their stocks 7.4% to $6.33 billion from a year earlier, with a 65% jump in non-store and commission-based retailing, an 18% lift in specialty food and a 14% boost in cars and parts.
Consumer electronic goods retailers wound down their inventories by 3.3% to $505 million from June 2011.
The volume of annual sales of electronic and electrical goods climbed 13% to $784 million, though the value fell 0.5% to $642 million in the same period.
Falling prices for telecommunication equipment and audio-visual and computing gear have helped keep a lid on inflation over the past year, which eased to its slowest pace of 1% in 13 years during the June quarter.

How to Summon a Ghost Without Using A Ouija Board
