In Beijing he made it to the quarter final round, and hopes to have an even better performance in London.
London 2012 110m Hurdles (August 7th)
14:21 (43rd in Round 1)
Since Beijing, Ronald has gained valuable experience at high calibre competitions, competing amongst the best in the world. In 2010 he competed at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, where he placed 5th in the 110 meter hurdles. In the IAAF World Championships he was a semi-finalist and placed 11th overall. These strong performances have given him the experience and confidence needed to compete at such a high level.
"The 2011 World Championships helped me to realize that I belong out there as one of the best in the world." said Forbes.
On a daily basis, Ronald trains hard and pushes himself in order to perform at his best for the London Games. "I have a better understanding of my body and what other untapped resources it has" said Forbes. He also adds, "Having a training partner has greatly pushed me forward in my training seasons' intensity."
Ronald will be attending the pre-Games training camp in London prior to the games to help prepare for the competition. He is eager to compete and make Cayman proud.

WASHINGTON — Renewing a political fight from last year's presidential campaign, House Republicans passed a bill Wednesday that would prevent the Obama administration from waiving work requirements in the landmark 1996 welfare reform law.
Republicans say President Barack Obama is trying to weaken work requirements in the law — a claim that is disputed by administration officials and Democrats in Congress. The bill passed on a mostly party-line vote of 246-181.
The bill also authorizes funding for cash welfare benefits through the end of the year at current levels. Without an extension, federal funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program would run out March 27.
Senate Democrats are expected to oppose the waiver provision. The House passed a similar provision last year and it died in the Senate. Instead, the Senate has included funding for TANF in a larger bipartisan bill that would finance the federal government through September.
Last summer, the Obama administration announced it would be willing to grant states waivers of some of the law's requirements but only if governors can show they can accomplish the same welfare-to-work goals using different methods.
No state applied for a waiver. The White House said they were "deterred in part by inaccurate claims about what the policy involves."
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney seized on the issue during the campaign, accusing Obama of gutting welfare reform. The issue became the subject of many campaign ads.
"Clearly the best way out of poverty is a job and it is critical that our laws both foster job creation as well as ensure welfare is always a pathway to work," said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. "That's what this legislation is about, ensuring that work and other productive activities remain a central part of the TANF cash welfare program."
Democrats claim that Republicans are distorting the goal of the waivers. The administration said the waiver program was a response to concerns from state officials that the law's work requirements created bureaucratic hurdles to placing welfare recipients in jobs.
"Flexibility was requested by governors on both sides of the aisle to allow states to test new, more effective ways to place more people on a path to self-sufficiency," the White House said in a statement. "The administration is disappointed that the bill includes this unnecessary bar to innovative welfare-to-work strategies."
The 1996 welfare act created the TANF program, provided states with block grants to carry out welfare reform, limited how long families may receive cash benefits and required that 50 percent of families receiving benefits be participating in work activities.
Welfare caseloads declined after the law was enacted. In 2012, an average of 4 million people received benefits each month.
In a July letter to congressional leaders, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that to qualify for a waiver, governors must show how they will move at least 20 percent more people from welfare to work. States must also show clear progress toward that goal within a year.
"What HHS proposed was allowing states in demonstration projects to see if they could undertake further innovations to help people move to work," said Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan.

The problem with this is that it needs iLok which adds a not insignificant extra cost. They could sell it for $1 and it would make little difference IMHO. I have two eLicensers which apparently won't work as a key store for this.

Really? That is poor, iLok is like $50 or something right? I mean it doesnt make sense if its entry level, why would you want an iLok too.

Senior Melanie Delsart finishes as No. 1 singles champion today in Wichita, Kan.
Oct. 7, 2012
By Tim McCaughan
The 2012 State Farm MVC Individual Tennis Championships concluded today in Wichita, Kan., with Southern Illinois bringing home two titles.
Senior Melanie Delsart claimed the No. 1 singles championship, defeating Klavdija Rebol of Drake in the finals, 6-0, 7-6. The Saluki duo of Jennifer Dien and Natasha Tomishma brought back the No. 2 doubles championship after defeating a team from Wichita State, 8-3.
"We feel like we are very strong this year, and I am proud of how we competed," said head coach Audra Nothwehr. "We had a lot of three-set matches that could have gone either way, but played really well, overall."
Anita Lee and Anastacia Simons finished in third place in No. 2 doubles after defeating a pair of Creighton players (8-5). Tomishima fell in the championship match of No. 3 singles (7-6, 6-3, 6-1), and Gisela Cairo Baza finished with third place in No. 7 singles defeating Lauren Watts of Bradley (6-0. 6-0). Simons added a third place showing in No. 6 singles after beating Gabby Phillips of Illinois State (6-4, 6-2).
"Our seniors have really stepped up to be leaders, and Melanie showed that, even though she wasn't playing at 100 percent physically throughout the tournament," said Nothwehr. "We have a lot of players stepping up this year, especially Natasha and Jennifer, who are playing like a No. 1 doubles pair."
The Salukis will be back in action Sunday, Oct. 14, when they host the SIU Fall Classic.

Members of Live, a rock band, plans to turn a vacant structure in a parking lot at Eighth and Linden Streets into a six-story music venue for Allentown. The building is located within Allentown's Neighborhood Improvement Zone (NIZ) and is eligible for the special tax financing.
Think Loud Development, having three members of the band Live as investors, is in talks to buy the property, which is owned by the Allentown Parking Authority.
They want to develop a building that houses a multi-level stage, with a private VIP lounge, 6,200 square foot restaurant, and 31,200 square feet of office space. An added twist would be the indoor stage having moveable walls and the ability to convert into a outdoor music hall.
Think Loud has entered into a formal partnership with the construction management firm Alvin H. Butz, Inc., and the two parties have agreed to work together on their Allentown development projects.
They currently are working on United Fiber & Data, the fiber optic firm is partly owned by members of the band, and will occupy a building constructed by Butz. Another project to buy the old Colonial Theater site and turn into a mixed used building, fell through.
The proposed music venue project would cost about $42 million to develop, if the land purchase is approved, and construction could start as early as December, taking about a year to complete.

File seizure ruining business - client
A Megaupload client in the United States who is seeking to get his digital property back says his business has struggled without access to the site.
Kyle Goodwin is asking the judge overseeing the Megaupload case in the Virginia to release legitimate material stored on the site.
All content was seized in January as part of an internet piracy investigation into Megaupload and co-founder Kim Dotcom.
Mr Goodwin used the site as a quick and cheap way of storing footage high school sports games recorded by his film crews in Ohio.
He has not been able to find anything similar to keep his business going since Megaupload was closed.
Mr Goodwin says legitimate users of the site are being penalised for other people's misuse of it.

The GOP is nothing if not predictable.
The GOP's winter meeting has re-elected Rence Priebus as party chair for the next 2 years. What might surprise you is that he ran unopposed. (Maine's Republican National Committeeman, Mark Willis, could not collect enough support to launch a formal challenge.)
"The task before us now is charting our party's future. We have an opportunity and responsibility to shape the GOP of the next generation," Priebus said in a speech to RNC committee members following his re-election."We must compete in every state and every region, building relationships with communities we haven't before. At the RNC we are dropping 'red' and 'blue' analysis. We must be a party concerned about every American in every neighborhood. We must develop the best technology with the help of the best minds — and train activists, volunteers and candidates with the modern tools of a modern party."

Muslim abuser who 'didn't know' that sex with a girl of 13 was illegal is spared jail
A muslim who raped a 13-year-old girl he groomed on Facebook has been spared a prison sentence after a judge heard he went to an Islamic faith school where he was taught that women are worthless.
Adil Rashid, 18, claimed he was not aware that it was illegal for him to have sex with the girl because his education left him ignorant of British law.
Yesterday Judge Michael Stokes handed Rashid a suspended sentence, saying: 'Although chronologically 18, it is quite clear from the reports that you are very naive and immature when it comes to sexual matters.'
Earlier Nottingham Crown Court heard that such crimes usually result in a four to seven-year prison sentence.
But the judge said that because Rashid was 'passive' and 'lacking assertiveness', sending him to jail might cause him 'more damage than good'.

DHS Wants AR-15s For Their Quality As "Personal Defense Weapons", But You Shouldn't Have Them
The Department of Homeland Security is the latest to find Governor Cuomo's anti-Second Amendment agenda is at odds with reality. A report by Steve McGough of RadioViceOnline.com cites a General Service Administration (GSA) request for proposal (RFP) on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security and member components such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seeking over 7,000 AR-15's and matching 30 round clips.
The RFP describes these weapons as "personal defense weapons" and states they are "suitable for personal defense use in close quarters." Governor Cuomo in his recently passed "SAFE Act" has banned these very same modern sporting rifles and clips the federal government finds to be "personal defense weapons."
This federal government rebuke of Cuomo comes just hours after news broke that two students from Rochester lives were evidently saved by an AR-15 as armed intruders entered their home. The very same personal defense weapon Cuomo plans to take out of law abiding gun owners hands protected two of New York's best and brightest.

Obama To Cut Healthcare Benefits For Active Duty And Retired Military
The Obama administration's proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their healthcare, while leaving unionized civilian defense workers' benefits untouched. The proposal is causing a major rift within the Pentagon, according to U.S. officials. Several congressional aides suggested the move is designed to increase the enrollment in Obamacare's state-run insurance exchanges.
The disparity in treatment between civilian and uniformed personnel is causing a backlash within the military that could undermine recruitment and retention.
The proposed increases in health care payments by service members, which must be approved by Congress, are part of the Pentagon's $487 billion cut in spending. It seeks to save $1.8 billion from the Tricare medical system in the fiscal 2013 budget, and $12.9 billion by 2017.

Kammler is part of the back story to that!
He was a civil engineering genius but a real evil bastard. He designed the crematoria and gas chambers for the death camps, and also the Mittlewerke, the underground factory where the V-2 rockets were built. After the SS took over the rocket projects from the Wehrmacht and the jet fighter projects from the Luftwaffe in 1944 on Hitler and Himmler's orders Kammler was put in charge of all the infrastructure relating to the Wünderwaffe. His final end remains one of the most intriguing mysteries of WWII and the source of much speculation and conspiracy theories.

That is the key. We have to start calling our weapons "personal defense weapons". Who could be in favor of banning "personal defense weapons"? Of course, the gun grabbers will be, but the point is to get yhe low info voters thinking o fthem as personal defense weapons. You can't sell a ban on them that way.

So, the GOP reelected Reince Priebus to the chairmanship as though he's done such a great job in his first term! Did they notice that we got our heads handed to us in November BECAUSE THE PARTY COULDN'T EVEN GET ITS BASE TO TURN OUT?
Yeah, great job Reince, how about a re-up!

Apple needs to lead the way by manufacturing its products in the US.. Apple's coming under increasing scrutiny and they're looking more in disarray than they have been in years; the hole left by Jobs' death is becoming very evident. Manufacturing their products in the US won't necessarily enhance their innovation, but it'd sure polish their public image.

In nautical terms, we're adrift and if we don't get the engines up and running we're going to continue to be an easy target. Sure Priebus talks a good game and he gets off a few good volleys at times, but I don't think he knows anything about getting the engines up and running.

You have a mother, father, child, relative or friend who is terminally ill and nearing death. Questions are running rampant through your mind. How do I handle my loved one who is near-death? What do I say for support? Or, do I not say anything at all? And, then comes the critical question of "How do I help them move on?"
I could only wish that I was there when my mother passed away as I was with my father. My father was in hospice, dying of cancer and as the hours went on, he began to see things at the junction between the top of the wall and the ceiling. He could not talk, as through the cancer, his voice box was removed. He tried to tell my step-mother what he was seeing by mouthing the words. She couldn't understand him. But when he turned to me with the happiest, widest eyes and mouthed the words "God wants ME!," as if he was a child just chosen for the world all-star baseball team. I knew then…he was experiencing what International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) calls "Nearing Death Awareness" (NDA.)
I had already shared my own near-death experiences with him long ago - what I saw and experienced. Later that evening, as the only one left at his bedside, I whispered to him that we all love him and always will. I told him that we six children would do well and that we would always stay close to Margaret, my much loved step-mother. He smiled so sweetly and seemed to feel the presence of peace, love and serenity.
Being the only one left to leave, I kissed him on the forehead, hugged him and turned to leave. What I saw from behind me was so spectacular and too lengthy to describe here, but it can be found in my article: http://www.examiner.com/article/the-golden-room-of-a-shared-near-death-experience-with-my-father
Now, after reading the book, Final Gifts: Understanding the Special Awareness, Needs, and Co by Callanan, Maggie and Kelley, Patricia (Feb 14, 2012) and reading a report Nearing Death Awareness in the Terminally Ill, published by Pamela M. Kircher, M.D, Registered Nurse Maggie Callanan, The Center for Human Nutrition Research of Nantes (Nantes CRNH,) and the honored IANDS Board of Directors, in a collaborated information guide, I know now that we have a guide to properly understanding Near-Death Awareness.
The report states that "People who are terminally ill may have a near-death experience (NDE) just before the final phase of their illness, but the remarkable experiences that are more common as death approaches are called Nearing Death Awareness (Callanan & Kelley, 1992), or NDAs."
In these two invaluable resources the questions are finally answered. In these two invaluable resources, the questions are finally answered!

Arizona 3, California 1 (Box Score)
BERKELEY, Calif. - Kurt Heyer threw his fifth complete game of the season, Alex Mejia drove in two runs and executed a hidden ball trick, and the 14th-ranked Arizona baseball team came from behind to take the series opener from host California, 3-1, on Friday afternoon at Evans Diamond.
Heyer improved to 9-2 on the season as he racked up nine strikeouts, scattered five hits and walked just one batter. The lone run he allowed was unearned in the first inning without a hit. In fact, he carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning before a one-out base hit snapped a string of 12-consecutive batters retired.
Mejia, an 2011 all-conference shortstop, drove in Arizona's first two runs of the game, the first coming on an infield single in the top of the third that tied the game, and second coming on a bases-loaded walk to give the Wildcats a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning.
His best was yet to come.
With Arizona holding a narrow one-run lead, two soft singles and a two-out error left the bases loaded for California in the bottom of the seventh. Brenden Farney slapped a grounder deep in the hole on the left side, where Mejia made a swift backhanded stop and fired across the diamond for the third out.
An inning later and trailing by two runs, the Golden Bears tallied a pair of leadoff singles, the second coming off the bat of Andrew Knapp that moved Danny Oh to second base. Left fielder Johnny Field picked up the line drive single and tossed it back to the infield where Mejia took the ball.
Mejia walked the ball towards Heyer and bluffed an exchange behind the mound. Mejia then assumed his normal defensive position at shortstop as Heyer, still behind the mound, awaited the next hitter. Oh took his lead off from second, and Mejia moved in to tag him out to complete a rare hidden ball trick.
Heyer retired the next two hitters he faced and worked into the ninth inning, when Mejia made another outstanding play. Vince Bruno hit a liner destined for left-center, except that Mejia perfectly timed his leap and snared it out of the air for the first out.
From there, Heyer induced a groundout and then struck out Darrel Mathews, who earlier broke up the no-hit bid with an infield hit, to end the game.
Arizona (31-15, 14-8 Pac-12) forced California (25-20, 9-13 Pac-12) to go the bullpen early. Starter Michael Theofanopoulos lasted just 4.1 innings after giving up two runs on three hits and three walks.
Trailing by a run, the Wildcats tied the game in the top of the third. With runners on the corners and two down, Mejia hit an infield single deep in the hole on the left side to drive in Trent Gilbert with the tying run.
Theofanopoulos (L, 4-5) ran into trouble again in the top of the fifth. For the second time in the game, Gilbert drew a leadoff walk and was bunted to second by Brandon Dixon. Joey Rickard then followed with a walk that ended Theofanopoulos' outing.
Michael Lowden took over and followed by issuing consecutive walks to Field and Mejia, which forced in the go-ahead run and prompted another pitching change.
Chris Muse-Fisher entered to face Robert Refsnyder with one down and the bases loaded. The left-hander was able to induce an inning-ending double play to escape the jam and limit UA's lead to just 2-1.
In the top of the eighth, Refsnyder blasted a two-out solo home run onto the roof of the recreation building deep over the left field wall. The key insurance run marked his team-leading fifth homer of the season.
The Golden Bears lone run of the game was an unearned run in the bottom of the first, which came without a base hit. Oh was hit by a pitch to lead off, then stole second base one out later. Catcher Riley Moore's throw to second was errant and allowed Oh to advance to third on the play. Mitch Delfino then hit a sacrifice fly to right field to drive in Oh.
The two teams continue the three-game series on Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. PDT at Evans Diamond.

Common Opponents - USC
Tuesday, December 1, 8:00 a.m. PST
In the eight days leading up to the Civil War, Duck Feed is serving up a comparison of how the Ducks and Beavers have fared against their eight common opponents this season. We've discussed WSU, Washington, Arizona State, UCLA, Arizona and California - next up the standings is USC.
The Scores
Oregon State paid the price for its upset of the Trojans in 2008, falling 42-36 as USC scored its most points in conference play this season. The Ducks welcomed No. 4 Troy the following week for Halloween and sent them out of the Pac-10 race with a 47-20 win.
How it Went Down
OSU scored seven times to USC's six, but fell behind early and settled for too many field goals to climb back into it. The Beavers out-gained the Trojans, 482 yards to 429, and have not lost since.
Oregon ran all over the Trojans, piling up a season-high 391 yards on 49 carries. Jeremiah Masoli, in particular, gave USC fits with 164 rushing yards, and the UO defense did an excellent job of limiting big plays and making the Trojans work for their yards.
Key Play
After an 80-yard touchdown drive put USC ahead 21-6 late in the second quarter, OSU charged downfield and had 1st-and-10 from the Trojan 14-yard line with ample time left to score. A false start penalty followed by a sack killed the TD chance and Justin Kahut came on for his third field goal of the half.
Following a 12-play, 71-yard, game-tying (17-17) TD drive by the Trojans that sucked up five minutes and 22 seconds of the second quarter, Oregon's next offensive play was a 48-yard sprint by Masoli on 1st-and-10 from his own 20. Three plays later it was 24-17 Ducks.
Top Performers
OSU's Sean Canfield was 30-of-43 for 329 yards, three TDs and no interceptions. Joe Halahuni led eight Beaver receivers with nine catches and 127 yards.
Masoli totaled 386 yards, including 222 through the air on 19-of-31 passing. He passed for and ran for a TD. LaMichael James ran for a season-best 183 yards and one score.
Both OSU and UO were 1-of-1 on fourth down conversions. OSU was 7-of-15 on third down, while the Ducks were 8-of-15.
UO averaged 8.0 yards per carry against the Trojans, the Beavers gained 4.5 yards per rush. USC averaged 4.9 yards per play against the Ducks and 7.4 against OSU.
Bottom Line
The Trojans' defensive standouts from a year ago proved harder to replace than most expected. OSU came within a few stops on defense from pulling an upset for the second straight year. Streaking at 4-0 in the Pac-10, Oregon game-planned well and got a big energy boost from the home crowd as they totaled more yards than all but one USC opponent in history.

According to the Department of State, sequestration will likely reduce the number of officers processing visa applications, which will negatively impact wait times at U.S. consulates.
Department of Homeland Security will be affected as a whole, but many agencies within DHS will be impacted more than others. For example, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are among the agencies hardest hit. This means that there will be lower numbers of agents, airport screeners and border agents on duty, which will affect waiting and processing times. While USCIS is also to lose funding, most of its budget comes from fees collected for processing petitions and applications, so the impact to USCIS should not be as significant compared to other agencies. However, if CBP has to furlough some of its workforce, it may take longer to cross through border posts and more difficult to obtain immigration-related benefits by CBP such as I-94 processing

It was a satisfaction--a strengthening satisfaction--to understand, to this extent, the weakness of a risen soul; and also to what it was risen in Christ; and as the intermediate link between body and spirit as serving in the sanctuary--itself the intermediate department in the temple--I could the clearer see its assigned duties and responsibilities. So also in regard to the body and spirit. And I was the better enabled to run with patience and diligence the race set before me. And after understood this to this extent, every day I deserved a benefit; and every day could feel in force of personal application, that, as corresponding to the three-one man, "there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one." And I knew and felt that this agreement was in spirit. that all the witnesses must assimilate to spirit to be accepted of God as a one spiritual offering or worship, which alone he seeks or accepts. For "it is the spirit that beareth witness, because the spirit is truth," the spirit receiving appropriating to a unity with itself the other two, so as becoming as of itself the infallible testimony.
The three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, water and blood: the Spirit is the spirit of life of Christ given to a renewed soul. It is truth--it is Christ--it is the infallible element in a Christian, the true witness in earth: and hence the necessity of being the one in which the others agree. The soul, as said, though born again, is still weak and infirm in parts, by organic connection with the flesh: while its spirit of life is divine. The body also is in producing a witness equally weak and infirm, from being, not only the passive agent, or subordinate member of the soul, but the constant abode of lusts, and all subtle workings of the carnal mind. So both of these, being fallible, must be brought to a standard test, other than themselves.
Water and blood we know are figurative terms. Faith, as springing from a risen soul, is witness; and answers to "the blood." Works, as springing from the body as adopted, is witness, and answers to "the water." The Spirit of Christ, pervading all, answers to "the spirit." But, in all things connected with the way. of salvation, we must, turn to Jesus: he corresponds to all truth. Jesus "came by water and by blood;" not by water only, but by water and blood. That is, Jesus came by gospel works, and by faith, representing body and soul. And it is added in connection, "And it is the spirit that beareth witness, because the spirit is truth." As the Son of man, Jesus "was made like unto his brethren:" they are commanded to follow him, not without the elementary parts and capacity to do so. The three witnesses agreeing in one, must spring from three bearing parts agreeing in one, But the fallibility of the water and blood indicate the fallibility of the body and soul; and that in accordance with the testimony of Jesus himself, in himself. He says, "The Son can do nothing of himself: but what he seeth the Father do: my Father worketh hitherto, and I work." John 4: 17. But those who believe a Christian is all divine, believe that Jesus was so, of course. But had he been, there would have been no disagreement in his (nor yet in a Christian's), will, and the divine Will: but he says "I came not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me;" "of mine own self I can do nothing;" "I seek not mine own will, but the will of my Father," (divine), hence, in bearing witness, he says, "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true." "It is the spirit that beareth witness, because the spirit is truth."
As the Son of man the humanity cried, "O my Father, if it be possible let this cup pass; nevertheless [the spirit gaining ascendancy], not my will, but thine be done." As a man he died, and from his side ran out blood and water; these belong to humanity "a spirit hath not blood;" nor could divinity die; nor yet be forsaken of itself--"my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Who denies the humanity of Jesus denies redemption to man; for none other than "a man that is mine fellow" could redeem man. Thus it behooved him to be made; it was absolutely essential and necessary to meet the demands of the case; the nature of angels (divine) would not do, he must be man made of a woman. Brethren in Christ, like you, Jesus was a man; yet "God gave not the spirit by measure unto him" (John 3:34), and by this he resisted sin and was without sin: not because he was entirely divine, but because he resisted sin unto blood. He was tempted; but "God cannot be tempted with evil." Nor could Jesus have been had he been entirely divine. And then, never could he have been "touched with a feeling of our infirmities," never, as in "all things," whether nature of consequent feeling and failing, as made by us, could it be said: "For in that he suffered, being tempted, he is able to succor them which are tempted." Heb. 2:17.
I told you every system connected with salvation was triune. There were the Patriarchal, legal and gospel dispensations. Jesus died between the legal and gospel--two transgressors. The soul is the central principle between body and spirit of life. Jesus died' as the sinning soul--ruling element of the church. The Mosaic dispensation, and the body, hold to works and the curse of death. The gospel elements, by death and resurrection, are spiritual, and have a heavenly place in Christ. The spiritual at once follows--as the penitent thief--and is this day with him in paradise, the other is still under the curse.
Here then was body and soul presented, "through [agreement in] the eternal spirit," not by his own will--no soul willingly suffers the pangs of condemnation and death--but by (the spirit given causing to consent), the will of the Father, "by the which will we are sanctified through the offering." "And he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one" body, soul and spirit.
But that he came by water and by blood, his works and faith--as Christians must--answer as witnesses. But so perfect and prevailing was his (Jesus') faith, that, perhaps some have scarcely thought whether he had it or not--not that it would be regarded as a lack, but not a need in him. But by the inviolable oneness of Jesus and the church, if she, as joint heir with him, receive faith of the divine inheritance, he shared it;--she "lives by the faith of the Son of God;" and "keeps the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus;" Jesus said of the Father "I do always those things which please him." "Without faith it is impossible to please God." God said of Jesus "with whom I am well pleased." This is the witness of his faith that he pleased God.
But "one witness shall not, testify;" there must be "two or three" to establish a thing. And the thing to be established is ever that borne record to in heaven--the salvation of the church in Jesus Christ --to which end the Father dwelt in him bodily; and must dwell in all his, bodily. We have that of the blood; now let us look to the water.
"Believest thou not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself; but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the work. Believe me, that I am in the Father and the Father in me, for the very work's sake." Though I bear record of myself (as God) my record is true,--"if I bear witness of myself [as man] my witness is not true." "I have greater witness than John, for the works which the Father hath given me to finish--the same works that I do, bear witness of me"--"believe the works that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me; and the Father himself beareth witness of me."
Here are the two witnesses of Jesus' soul and body. That they found agreement in the spirit as resolving into one, as the one spiritual worship or offering, God himself testifies in pleasure and reception.
The water and the blood, as corresponding witnesses in Christians, are also figurative: and must find like representation in the principle to which they respectively apply. When the term "water" is used in connection with salvation, it always applies to the body, and works always spring in answer as a witness. When blood is used in the same, it always applies to the soul, and faith always springs in answer as a witness. And just as body and soul, by agreement in the spirit of natural life. by their own organic functions properly harmonizing, become one living witness of a living man. So must works and faith in organic conjunction be lawfully presented; and thus finding legal agreement in spirit, witness, as Jesus of the Father, I in you, and you in me, and three in one.

New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma appears likely to miss a game because of injury for the first time since he joined the Saints in 2008. He's listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans after missing practice again Friday with an unspecified knee injury.
Losing the three-time Pro Bowl player would be a big blow to the Saints against a potent and balanced offensive team like the Texans. But the Saints have faith in experienced backup Jo-Lonn Dunbar, who played well last week against the Chicago Bears.
"I think we feel real good about our depth," Saints Coach Sean Payton said. "It's no different than any other injury. ... (Dunbar) has prepared well, and he's had a good week of practice, so he'll be ready."
The Saints were optimistic early in the week that Vilma would be able to return to practice, and Payton said Vilma didn't suffer any specific setback. "It just hasn't come back as quickly as we had hoped, and we'll see how it is tomorrow," Payton said Friday.
Dunbar said he is prepared to start, but he's not ruling Vilma out. Vilma came back in the second half last week after suffering the injury in the first half.
"This guy has been immortal for like three years," Dunbar said. "And this guy, when he hurts something, he still plays. That's just the way he is. He's a complete warrior. It wouldn't surprise me if he does (play). If he doesn't, then we all need to pick it up and run this thing as if he were here."
Dunbar (6 feet, 226 pounds) has started 14 games, most at strongside linebacker, where he split the starting job with Danny Clark last season. He started last week's game as an extra inside linebacker in the Saints' 3-4 formation and made an instant impact. In the first seven minutes, he assisted on a tackle of Bears tailback Matt Forte for a 1-yard gain, then stopped Forte for a 4-yard loss and a no gain.
Dunbar played middle linebacker and outside linebacker as the game went on, finishing with six tackles and just one mental error by defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' count.
"He'll be ready to go if we have to pull the trigger, and I feel real confident in him. He's real smart," Williams said of Dunbar. "(He's got) instincts. You can't coach instincts. You can't coach the anticipation of knowing what the offense is going to do before it happens, and he has got those kind of instincts, like Jon does and a lot of those really good just nose-for-the-ball linebackers. He made a lot of really good, instinctive plays the other day."
Dunbar, who joined the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Boston College in 2008, had a career-high 50 tackles last season, including a career-best 13 against Atlanta in Week 3.
He re-signed with the Saints as a free agent in August after the Saints told him they wanted to move him to middle linebacker. Although that meant playing behind Vilma in the Saints' base 4-3, Dunbar was fired up about the move. He played middle linebacker in college.
Dunbar said he worked out harder than ever this offseason when he joined Vilma and Saints tight end Jimmy Graham at their former college, Miami.
"I think it was a huge offseason," Dunbar said. "In terms of working out, I never put myself through that type of workouts, day in and day out. So that was good. And then I think I understood the defense more this year, just in terms of what everyone's doing, what I'm doing, and now understanding what offenses are doing to attack us. So I think I've grown a lot in this last offseason or so."
SAINTS INJURIES: Saints cornerback Tracy Porter (calf) returned to practice on a limited basis Friday for the first time in more than a week. He's questionable for Sunday's game. Porter said he "felt good" but said it's up to the coaches whether he plays.
"I just can go out there, take it day by day. It felt good today. And we only hope that it can continue to improve," Porter said. "Some calf injuries take three to four weeks. It all depends on what happens. You know, mine has been moving along very well. And as of right now I'm listed as questionable, so we'll see come Sunday what (Payton) wants to do."
Saints receiver Marques Colston (collarbone) and kicker Garrett Hartley (hip) were ruled out for Sunday.
TEXANS INJURIES: Texans tailback Arian Foster (hamstring) and receiver Jacoby Jones (knee) are questionable. Each practiced on a limited basis Friday.
Foster, who led the NFL in rushing yards last season, will likely be limited in Sunday's game if he plays. He returned from a hamstring injury last week after being sidelined in Week 1, but he left before halftime after aggravating the injury.
"It'll be a game-time decision," Texans Coach Gary Kubiak said Friday. "He practiced today much like he did yesterday. He took a limited amount of reps, but he was involved in the whole practice. We'll watch him tomorrow morning when we watch him go through our jog-through, see where he's at and probably actually put him through a little workout before the game."
The Texans remain dangerous in their run game regardless. Backup Ben Tate has run for more than 100 yards in each of Houston's first two games. He has 219 yards and a touchdown this season.
Texans tailback Derrick Ward (shoulder/ankle) and cornerback Sherrick McManis (hamstring) are out for Sunday's game.
SUPERDOME STILL NAMELESS: Mock banners around the Superdome triggered speculation Friday that the famous building's name might have, like so many other modern stadiums, been sold. As of Friday afternoon it had not, according to Superdome and Saints officials.
Superdome executives were out of town Friday, but the corporate office issued a statement confirming the Saints hold the possibly rich cards here.
"The New Orleans Saints were granted the rights to sell the name and title sponsorship to the Louisiana Superdome as part of the renegotiated long-term lease extension two years ago," the statement read. "The team has discussed the opportunity with a number of companies since then, which is no secret. It makes sense that as part of the sponsorship promotional package the team would need to create some mock banners to illustrate their collateral material and presentations. We are all very hopeful that someone would obtain the naming rights to the Superdome and that a deal will get done at some point in the future."
The Saints have tried in the past to sell the Superdome name, and rotten economic conditions and the lack of Fortune 500 companies based in New Orleans have worked against the club. But by once again landing the host duties for a Super Bowl and an NCAA Final Four, the Superdome has re-established itself as a premier venue that will bask in national and international spotlights, making it a more attractive advertising possibility.
Saints executives declined to comment on developments Friday but privately they made it clear the club is pursuing any and all sale options it has.

Barnsley have replaced a goalkeeper bound for the Champions League with a stopper who has a winners' medal from Europe's top club competition.
A week after Luke Steele moved to Panathinaikos, the Reds brought in Ross Turnbull – who was on the bench for Chelsea's 2012 Champions League win – for a third spell at Oakwell.
"Everybody is familiar with Ross and the quality he has got," said manager Danny Wilson, whose other two 'keepers, Adam Davies and Christian Dibble, have never played a Football League game.
"We're quite fortunate to have secured his services. He's got great experience, his distribution is fantastic and he's a real big lad. We think a lot of Christian Dibble and Adam Davies has had a fantastic tour of Italy but, with Luke Steele leaving, we felt we needed the experience. The competition for goalkeepers will be quite intense which is great."
Turnbull has signed a two-year-deal with the Reds. The 29-year-old former England youth international played three games for Barnsley on loan from boyhood club Middlesbrough – where he worked with Reds goalkeeping coach Mark Crossley – in the 2003/04 season then returned the following campaign for 24 matches.
Wilson said: "He did very well when he was here last time and that was a massive influence on the deal. He knows the club and he's fitted straight back in."
After his second spell with Barnsley, Turnbull spent the next season at Crewe then had a brief spell at Cardiff before establishing himself in Middlesbrough's Premier League team in 2008/09 and earning a move to Chelsea. In his four years at Stamford Bridge, Turnbull played just 19 games but did pick up a Champions League winner's medal as an unused substitute in 2012. He left the Blues last summer and signed a one-year deal with Doncaster, playing 31 games and saving a Chris O'Grady penalty in a 0-0 draw at Oakwell in November. Return: Ross Turnbull.

The biodiversity of small mammals in North America may already be close to a "tipping point" causing impacts "up and down the food chain" according to a new study by U.S. scientists.
Examining fossils excavated from a cave in Northern California, biologists from Stanford University, California uncovered evidence that small mammal populations were severely depleted during the last episode of global warming around 12,000 years ago.
The research, which was recently published in the science journal, Nature, underlines the effects climate change could have on all types of biodiversity, not just the "eye-catching species."
"The temperature change over the next hundred years is expected to be greater than the temperature that most of the mammals that are on the landscape have yet witnessed as a species," Hadly said in a statement.
"The small-mammal community that we have is really resilient, but it is headed toward a perturbation that is bigger than anything it has seen in the last million years." she added.

Adams Earns His Night
Luke Adams (middle) helped the Red Raiders to their fifth win of the season in his first career start.
Dec. 19, 2011
by Britton Drown
Luke Adams earned this night. In simple terms, that's how head coach Billy Gillispie described the decision process in starting the 5-foot-9 little-known freshman guard.
Before Sunday night, Adams, a walk-on from Big Spring, Texas, registered a mere 11 minutes of playing time in just one game this season. But he suddenly found himself in the starting lineup against Grambling State on Sunday night-the first home game for the Red Raiders in 28 days.
He earned it, and it didn't take very long for him to prove that.
On Tech's first possession of the game, and without hesitation, he launched a deep 3-pointer from the corer.
It was the first of four consecutive 3-pointers Adams would make as he propelled the Red Raiders to an early 17-0 lead--their best start to a game all season.
"He can make shots," Gillispie said after the game.
"He is the type of player that you need in this league down the road," Grambling State head coach Bobby Washington said. "Once he gets some experience under his belt, they [Texas Tech] will one day be able to win the Big 12."
Adams may not have been well known before Sunday night's 87-59 win over Grambling State, but maybe his night should not have been all that surprising.
The Big Spring, Texas native is a coach's son. His father, Mark, is the head coach at Howard College and played collegiately at South Plains College.
Basketball is a part of Adams and always has been. During his senior year at Big Spring High School, Adams led Class 3A schools in scoring averaging 26.9 points per game which ranked sixth overall in the state.
"He's just a great all-around player," Gillispie said.
Adams finished the night with 15 points and a game-high four steals.
The Red Raiders return to action on Thursday night Tulsa Okla. Tip off is set for 7:05 p.m. and the game will broadcast on FCS Central as well as the Texas Tech Sports Network.

The St. Anthony Friars can add another banner to Golden Doors Gym in Jersey City, after a hard fought 61-49 to capture the schools fourth national title in four different decades.
"We'll hang our hats on this," coach Bob Hurley said. "This group will remember this accomplishment for the rest of their lives. This truly is "That Championship Season."
The Friars had to fight all night against the Plainfield Cardinals in the final of the Tournament of Champions, but managed to pull away in the fourth quarter, led by Myles Mack, Luicious Jones and Jerome Frink who together led the way for the Friars offensively in the second half.
A 9-0 run in the fourth quarter was the key to the victory. Post game conference follows soon.

The time for Maliki to go was before the U.S. left. Now, Iraq has crumbled again in the well anticipated state of near civil war. That's oil over the dam, as they say in these parts. Now, it is Sunni vs. Shia vs. Kurds. It is all about controlling the equation for distributing oil revenues among the different sects. It is about securing Iraqi people against terrorists and insurrectionists who are quite capable of bringing a nation asunder. It is about managing the Iraq instance in context with the greater Middle East that shares similar sectarian strife. It is about achieving sustainable economies for now and into the future. It is about producing democratically elected governments that are dedicated to freedom and liberty for all people. The latter is imposed and not necessarily bubbling up, which is a problem here.
This CNN report nails the essence.
"Sources: Chorus grows that Al-Maliki has to go for Iraq's sake
By Laura Smith-Spark and Elise Labbott, CNN
updated 5:12 AM EDT, Thu June 19, 2014
Washington (CNN) -- There's a growing chorus -- both in Washington and in the Arab world -- that Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has to go if there's any hope of unifying Iraq as Islamic militants advance south toward Baghdad.
While some on Capitol Hill aren't shy about saying his days as the Iraqi leader should come to an end, at the White House it's more of a whisper.
Senior U.S. officials tell CNN that the Obama administration is of the belief that Maliki is not the leader Iraq needs to unify the country and end sectarian tensions.
The officials, along with Arab diplomats, say the White House is now focused on a political transition that would move the Iraqis toward a more inclusive government -- one without Maliki, but which includes Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish factions.
Whatever the action, something needs to happen fast.
The lightning-fast advance by Sunni fighters for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, has toppled large portions of northern Iraq and brought the militant push to within 40 miles of Baghdad. ISIS wants to establish a caliphate, or Islamic state, that would stretch from Iraq into northern Syria."

Let's Challenge Some Assumptions
Getting To The Point with Complete
Training Solutions
Knowledge…is good. Representatives with a depth of knowledge and fluency in their product bring a great deal of value to their customers.
Skill…when applied to knowledge, is even better. The real question is, once they leave the training…
Will…they apply it? Or, do they go back to doing the same thing they've been doing?
Action Translates to Results
The training class is ending and the evaluation sheets are in. Your sales team can usually demonstrate what they know and how they can apply it. But will they? Too often the answer is no. Unfortunately, high scores on an evaluation keeps us from taking a second look at design. Instead we look to coaching and pull through.
Just like a customer who won't use a product unless it helps them achieve a better outcome, the behaviors you're training will not be carried through if they don't address a specific point that will help the sales representative get a better result. That's why Critical Thinking Co. thinks critically before we do the design.
We want a design that works. One that addresses the knowledge, the skill, and the will of the participant. Because a willing sales professional is a high-performing sales professional. Willing to do the hard work. Willing to have the tough dialogue. Willing to challenge their own assumptions because they want to get to a result.
Why not go with an approach that goes beyond skillful dialogue as a goal? At Critical Thinking Co., we target the specific actions your customers will need to take, then train your sales team to leverage their knowledge and skill in such a way that customers respond with those actions. Which brings us to our point…
