On the uses and abuses of neutrality by the religious right, the liberal media, and the journalists caught in between.
By Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet
Part I: Every Tool is a Weapon, and They Use It Right
Several years before PBS broadcast their recent Frontlinedocumentary, "The Jesus Factor," and writing before the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, Joan Didionreflected on how the tenor of national political debate was fundamentally altered during the 2000 presidential campaign. In an effort to retain the elusive, and miniscule "swing vote," Democrats followed their opponents further right, pushing the conceived political "center" in front of them.
"This was a meaningful shift in the national political dialogue," Didion writes. "Politics, it had been until recently understood, is push and pull, give and take, the art of the possible, an essentially pragmatic process by which the differing needs and rights of the nation's citizens get balanced and to some degree met. The insertion into this process of a claim to faith, or to 'the high moral ground,' it also had been until recently understood, is perilous, permissible if at all only at moments of such urgent gravity as to warrant its inherent danger, which is that the needs and rights of some citizens might be overridden to accommodate the needs and rights of those holding the high ground. This was not such a moment in American life. The nation was not at war."
The obvious response is that the nation is now, in fact, at war; even by Didion's secularist standards, religious rhetoric is presumably justified. But, using the words of his own emboldened supporters, Frontline shows just how long Bush's use of that high ground predates the current crisis.
"There's no question that the president's faith is calculated," Doug Wead, a friend to the Bush family and former advisor to Bush, Sr., told Frontline. "And there's no question that the president's faith is real, that it's authentic, that it's genuine. I would say that I don't know, and George Bush doesn't know when he's acting out of the genuine sense of his own faith and when it's calculated." Though Frontline editorial director Marrie Campbell defends the show's editing as faithful to the spirit of Wead's interview (the full transcript of which they published on their website), they did cut several paragraphs from his final assessment of George W. Bush. Among Wead's trimmed qualifiers were citations of historical precedents of religion being used for political ends by Constantine and Ghandi, his inclusion of the interviewer among those who "don't know" when Bush is being sincere, and Wead's claim that all religious politicians are similarly conflicted.
If Frontline's editing emphasizes Bush's political cunning, what Wead himself left out is illuminating. In his nonchalant delivery of what would seem quite a damning description of a friend, Wead makes no effort to prettify Bush's calculation—or any of the blurring of the separation between church and state he proudly describes—because he sees no reason to apologize. No reason or no need; no reason because no need. This was a lesson he learned working on the senior Bush's first presidential campaign—won without the votes of Catholics, Jews, Hispanics and "all those folks." This was when "the message came home" to Wead: "My God, you can win the White House with nothing but evangelicals."
It's a disturbingly sure confidence that permeates Wead's candor in discussing the sometimes opportunistic bend of Bush's faith: Bush's "eureka!" moment of revelation, when he saw what God could do for his home life; his learned "strategy" and blending of religion and politics after being defeated in a Texas congressional race by an evangelical opponent; his abandonment of certain faith talking-points (i.e., that only Christians go to Heaven). This unabashed telling of trade-secrets has a post-victory feel, as does Wead's admonition that "people ought to be thankful that he has a faith," because without it, Bush is "brutal," "unapologetic," and "self-righteous." Maybe Wead feels comfortable with this "or else" tone because he's certain Bush will be reelected by his "abused child" constituency, as Wead describes the "self-hating" evangelicals who, according to Frontline, constitute 40% of the population, and comprise the largest religious group in America.
Without question, Bush has tremendous support among evangelical Christians like Richard Cizik, vice president for governmental affairs of the National Association of Evangelicals, who joked to Frontline that the NAE no longer needs a staff person to represent their interests, because their staffer sits in the Oval Office. Southern Baptist Convention director Richard Land (who has since termed the documentary "decent") dismissed the concern of "people on the left [who are] uncomfortable with someone thinking they're doing the work of God, or that they're on a divine mission," as more indicative of the left's paranoia or hostility, than of Bush's inappropriateness.
But not all evangelical Christians are as pleased with the access granted by Bush—and Bush's Christian politics—as are Rev. Cizik and Rev. Land. Rev. Dr. Welton Gaddy of the Interfaith Alliance was troubled by Bush's encouragement to faith-based programs, that they need not conform to U.S. law, but to God's. "The Bible as a hand-book for public policy? President Bush, as the chief executive officer of this nation, pledged to defend the Constitution. He was speaking as a religious leader, not worried about the Constitutional implications of that rhetoric."
Jim Wallis of Sojourners magazine also criticized Bush for "bad theology" on a number of counts, and said that Bush changed, after September 11th, from a "self-help Methodist" to an "almost messianic American Calvinist": employing the "language of religious empire, of God being on our side and our having this divine mission. I think this creates a framework for the misuse of religion. The rest of the world hears that and they're frightened. Especially in the Middle East, because they're afraid that we see this as a clash of cultures, that it's a religious war."
Which is a hard charge to refute for a president who campaigned by saying, for those Americans who didn't already understand why Jesus Christ was his favorite political philosopher, "it's going to be hard to explain." But maybe he won't have to do so, as Wead won't have to temper his frankness and certainty—by-products of witnessing that singular voting block deliver victory to George Bush, Sr. The victory that sparked "great shock from me and others, saying 'Woah. This is unhealthy.'"
But if Wead was once concerned about the "unhealthiness" of such one-sided support, he's over it, and now discusses the utility of Bush's faith with candor—and almost identical language as that used by the president's detractors. This frankness was also clear in some of the evangelicalresponses to "The Jesus Factor," and their thinly-veiled, or naked, ultimatums. LaVonne Redelinghuys of Fort Mill, SC warned: "The Dems, libs or whatevers should be careful about attacking Bush's faith. Nothing unites people like persecution syndrome and those emotions run very strong. These kinds of attacks have recently made Mel Gibson a much richer man. Having said that, as an evangelical Bush supporter, I would just say: BRING IT ON!"
The response of Robert Haines of North Fort Myers, FL, was more measured, but arguably more disturbing: citing negative media portrayals of Christians as extremists, Haines wrote that "the sad fact is that it's becoming increasingly more difficult to hear you at all."
However, Haines's assessment of "The Jesus Factor" as a typical example of condescension from an anti-Christian media was a rare exception among the viewers who wrote in to the show's website (generating one of Frontline's highest responses ever).A predictably large number of the letter-writers praised the show for its "frightening" portrayal of Bush-the-extremist, but a surprising number of (self-identified) Christians approved of what they saw as a uniquely unbiased portrait of a man sincerely devoted to his faith.
Frontline editorial director Marrie Campbell told me that if there was a consensus among the respondents, it was that everyone "found something that they liked in the program, whether it was because of concerns they already had about Bush, or his faith and how he takes that to the presidency. Or, if it was a positive response—I don't want to use the word 'supporters'—they wrote about his faith and his sense of values."
As Campbell describes it, these responses were in line with their motivations for making the documentary—though like the show's producer, Raney Aronson, Campbell shies away from the word, "motive." Aronson prefers the word "curiosity," as does Campbell. "We were interested in this large topic," she told me. "A lot of times, the media has been stereotyped as being hostile to religion, though we've done a few programs on it over the years. And we had been reading enough about the growth of evangelicals. So it was out of a larger, general curiosity."
In a live, online Q & A session conducted the morning after the show's first broadcast, Aronson reinforced this neutrality, adding her hope that the media and the evangelical community could overcome their reservations about one another: the media treating evangelicals as "religious freaks," and evangelicals demonizing the media as "out to get them."Replying to one questioner, who felt alienated and "not really an American," when he listened to Bush's salvation rhetoric, Aronson mollified: "Many people who are not evangelical feel that way, but if you look at the numbers—while more than forty percent self-identify themselves as evangelical or born again—many of them live outside of New York City. So you are part of America—just a different part. And just an aside, many of the evangelicals feel the exact same way about folks who aren't evangelical as you do about them!"
To an extent, this sort of I'm-okay-you're-okay neutrality may be a PR necessity for PBS, and its optimism is likely a sincere attempt to foster the discussion that, as Aronson describes it, was cut off by mutual distrust. Here's the "however" though: Is it a good thing that so many of the respondents to "The Jesus Factor" praised the show for reinforcing their own beliefs—polar opposites though they were?
"I couldn't figure out if you were trying to whip up support for George W. Bush or scare us to death," one viewer wrote, but most thanked Frontline for telling the "real story": whether about Bush as a scary, would-be theocrat, or conversely, as a humble and devout man who is steering our country rightfully back to God. While such divergent opinions may reflect on the neutrality, tolerance or "objectivity" of the reporting—famously touted as journalistic ideals—it also runs the risk of validating, through form rather than fact, its subjects' argument: that evangelical Christians are a persecuted group suffering from intolerance, and in need of "special interest" consideration like other minority groups. In their well-intentioned effort to be fair-minded,Frontline and other earnest, tolerance-minded journalists, may be promoting as fact what is actually an opinion, an argument.
One can claim the same neutral ground as a place from which to assert that there's an elephant of a story being overlooked here, in the name of understanding. In brief: The mantle of victimhood is an ill fit for the already-strong. It's worth asking whether Wead and his army of "abused children" don't evoke it as a plea to raise consciousness, but as a battle-cry.
The fact that such a question would be considered by most journalists as partisan is an apt illustration of the dangers of fetishizing "understanding." In Out of America: A Black Man Confronts Africa, Washington Post reporter Keith Richburg starts from the premise that out of eagerness to highlight the progress of the recently independent black nations and celebrate African culture; or perhaps to atone for the wrongs committed against the continent and its people; or simply to avoid being labeled racist, many Western journalists and scholars ignore the very real problems facing Africa. Though Richburg's book devolves into a string of racist clichés, there is truth to his initial argument. Too much sensitivity to difference can lead to moral stagnation; and the "personal" can not be held sacred, immune to investigation, when its use is so obviously political.
"The personal is political" is a concept which, after the left worried it into irrelevance, has found new life as a unifying tool for the religious right. Like all clever warriors, shrewd politicians will always study their opponents, and adopt strategies that work. In the hands of religious conservatives, though, the mantra has been reversed. The political is personal, i.e., a matter of faith. That, far more than any particular belief, ought to provoke journalists into deeper scrutiny. And yet, the traditionally liberal press simply recognizes an old political tool, and reacts to the weapon as though it was still in the hands of a friend.

Part II: The New Normal
PBS's attempt to understand Bush's faith on his terms—that is, to investigate the innerexperience of that faith more so than its public effects—is indicative of a drastic shift in media representations of religion. It is smart journalism, and a much-needed corrective to the kind ofalarmism that makes Bush into a religious lunatic eager to bring about apocalypse, now. But PBS's Frontline is also a symptom of media reframing, the creation of a new master narrative with which to understand religion.
What the media once treated as fringe, it now regards as mainstream. The battle-ready, interventionist, and, most of all, American God once worshipped on street corners, more recently hallelujah'd in the 'burbs, is getting a new hearing from big media. That results in more nuanced portraits of believers like Bush. It also relocates the center, moving the political and theological spectrum, as represented by the press, sharply to the right—toward a religious sensibility of strength, moral clarity, and just war, spiritual and otherwise. Or, depending on where you stand, fanaticism, lunacy, and crusade. The media's newfound appreciation for the Godliness described by either set of terms reveals a storyline reframed to the right.
To liberals, this will seem like a statement of the obvious. To many, acknowledgement of Bush's sincerity sounds like sympathy for the devil. To the conservatives who often accuse the press of liberal bias, tagging Frontline's foray into faith as a rightwing gesture is just another example of the problem.
But it's the media spectrum in which both right-wingers and leftists believe that makes this statement true. To the right, PBS represents everything wrong with the media. It's vaguelysocialist, it's haughty, it's multi-culti.
Plenty of liberals would agree. They might phrase that a little differently–non-commercial, "intelligent," diverse–but they'd gladly claim PBS for their own, a small but crucialcounterbalance to FOX.
If PBS functions in the minds of most of its viewers as the left end of the spectrum, what does it mean when it broadcasts an investigation into Bush's faith that satisfies his evangelical base? Sure, the program scared the bejeesus out of plenty of viewers who already thought Bush was a zealot, but even some secularists responded with approval for the program and the faith it depicted. Bush, Frontline proposed, really believes what he believes.
That's what the new narrative is all about—the internal coherence of belief rather than its worldly ramifications. The courage of convictions trumps concerns about consequences. Faced with what they must have thought were only two options—to present Bush's religion as fanatical or "normal," Frontline rejected the former as simplistic and embraced the latter as fair. Why is his religion normal? Because it's sincere.
In the new line on faith in America, sincerity equals "normal," and normal means reasonable. Thus the religious center, as exemplified by Bush on Frontline, has moved considerably to the right—one may not agree with the idea of an interventionist God concerned with a great battle between good and evil, but it's no longer a belief relegated by the press to the fringe.
The latest issue of Newsweek illustrates the shift perfectly. Cover boys Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, authors of the Left Behind series, are no longer scary doom saying commercial opportunists, as they've long been portrayed by the secular press; now, they're the "pop prophets," an "odd couple" of regular, hardworking guys. LaHaye, we learn, lives on a golf course, but rarely has time to play; Jenkins is a little embarrassed of hisRevelation riches. Their readership isn't "the 'Sex and the City' crowd—which helps explain why it took so long for the media to notice that one in eight Americans was reading all these strange books about the end of the world.
"And why are so many people eager to do that? Well, check the news tonight. As the world gets increasingly scary, with much of the trouble centered in the Mideast—just where you'd expect from reading the Book of Revelation—even secular Americans sometimes wonder (or at least wonder if they ought to start wondering) whether there might not be something to this End Times stuff."
Left Behind, journalist David Gates tells us, makes sense. As a way of explaining the world, it works. "Certainly," he acknowledges, "LaHaye and Jenkins promulgate what might be called outsider theology. But they are outsiders: they grew up that way, and they're proud of it." What follows is a description of their working class roots, which, apparently, justify their deployment of a Revelation as a blueprint for blowing up the world.
Not that Gates is a believer—there's no vast, rightwing media conspiracy at work here. LaHaye, he notes, can't resist questioning "a NEWSWEEK reporter about his personal relationship with Jesus." Good reporter that Gates is, he doesn't let the reader in on his answer, if any.
But one need only read Gates' own fiction, such as The Wonders of the Invisible World (in which the "wonders" are the demons of Mark's gospel), for insight into his religious convictions, or lack thereof. I mean that as no critique; I'm such a fan of the bitter, restless moral failure of his characters that I asked Gates to write an essay about a book of the Bible for a collection subtitled A Heretic's Bible. Gates chose Ecclesiastes ("all is vanity"); wrestled with the original; and, so he told me, lost faith even in faith during the battle. The record of his struggle, he said, did not amount to a hill of beans.
It's Gates' religious uncertainty that makes him capable of seeing the ordinariness in the certainty of Left Behind, the reasonableness that critics such as Joan Didion miss. In a world of fear, terror, and class anxiety, Left Behind does make sense. It is normal.
What's new is that Newsweek wanted Gates to write about something like Left Behind, and to put it on the cover. One can't help suspecting that the motive was less than newsy. Newsweek—a pillar of the old "liberal" media—is triangulating, just as Clinton did when he claimed for the "left" policies long associated with the right. Back then, the media followed, embracing the new notion of deregulated trade as natural law, and accepting the end of welfare as we knew it as pre-ordained. Now the press is moving to the theological right in search of common ground.
Which brings us back to normal, the center, the faith of the President, the country, and the media. Used to be that the religious nihilism woven throughout Bush's stated theology and printed on every page of Left Behindmerited a little anxiety. It's one thing to respect another's beliefs; it's another to "dialogue" with people who believe the end of the world is a good thing. But 62 million books sold and one crucial electoral victory can't be wrong—at least not when it comes to calculating the God quota, the amount of religious fervor considered reasonable. Bush's sincere certainty now represents the middle ground, Left Behind's apocalyptic rage is the responsible right, and all the blood of Mel Gibson's Passion is just so much thoughtful commentary.
For journalists who want to explore the religious landscape, there's good news in this development. "Wacky," "wing nut," and "weird" were never very useful terms for describing belief; it's a relief to see them retired. At the same time, though, the new paradigm is just that—a paradigm, a frame, a box that defines the boundaries. These days, there's room in the box for what used to be dismissed as holy rolling hickdom. It's the new normal. The rest of American religion, all that is less certain it hears God's voice, is getting reframed out of the picture.

Mindful Consumption and "The World We Have"
"We touch the Earth to let go of the idea that we are separate and to remind us that we are the Earth and part of life." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Is there a silver bullet solution for turning around the Throwaway Culture of Convenience? An elixir of unmatched potency to remedy many of the ills that plague our world?
If there is, I think I have found it. It is called Mindful Consumption.
Two simple words that convey a deeply profound message and way of being within our world. Two words that could hold the key to unlocking a future that many of us dream about and are working towards.
Mindful Consumption is the foundation for the book The World We Have: A Buddhist Approach to Peace and Ecology by famed Zen monk, peace activist and author Thich Nhat Hanh. It presents the case for why approaching consumption of all things (material and immaterial) through the lens of mindfulness could be the most powerful tool in the global effort to bring our environment — and ourselves — back from the brink of disaster.
What I love about Thay's (as his students call him) writing and message is its absolute simplicity and accessibility. While he taps into Buddhist — and to some extent that of the major monotheistic faiths — philosophy and teaching as a foundation, his call to action is open to all, regardless of your spiritual orientation or lack thereof. Mindfulness is a universal practice. And when coupled with elements of the philosophy of deep ecology, it makes for quite the one-two punch.
Thay presents the impermanence and inter-connectedness of all things as the pillars of Mindful Consumption.
Impermanence helps us accept that all things change — allowing us to navigate not only our moment-to-moment existence but also the broader existence of society and the planet. We cannot stop change but we can take action to help define it — both positively and negatively.
"Perhaps you agree intellectually that things are impermanent, but in your day-to-day life, you act as if things are permanent. Impermanence is not a theory; it's a practice. We should practice the concentration in impermanence… All day long, wherever you look, whatever you hear and see, concentrate on it with the insight on impermanence… With mindfulness we can keep the insight of impermanence alive…"
(As an aside, my friend Sandra just wrote a wonderful reflection on the nature of impermanence that helps us see how it can be a catalyst for living life to the fullest. Well worth the read.)
Along with impermanence, lies the inter-connectedness of all things — also known as inter-being. This is the recognition that all living and non-living things are made of the basic elements of existence and because of this we are all One. Such Oneness should allow us to see how one life form (let's say humans) cannot be more important than all the rest. Practically speaking, this Oneness should open our eyes to how each of our behaviors and actions have an impact (positive and negative) on all life that calls the Earth home. We are the Earth and the Earth is us.
"We humans think we're intelligent, but an orchid, for example, knows how to produce symmetrical flowers; a snail knows how to make a beautiful, well-proportioned shell. Compared with our knowledge, ours is not worth much at all… The feeling of respect for all species will help us to recognize and cultivate the noblest nature in ourselves."
Thay then offers his readers clear ways for engaging in the world and putting to work the practice of mindful consumption to turn around our environment and the world; the importance of cultivating the self and our communities; teaching these lessons to each other and our children.
The most amazing thing about this book though–for me, anyway–is its simple validation of so many things that I feel and believe personally. The World We Have might just be the manifesto of The New Pursuit for it weaves together the intersection of Life, Nature and Being better than I ever could.
While checking off things on our personal and collective to-do lists are an important part of living a life engaged in the change we want to see, it's only half the battle. The other half lies in shaping our being and our perspectives on how we view ourselves and all the other beautiful life that calls this planet home.
It is, as I have called it before, the pursuit of a new and deep eco-being. A shedding of the unnecessary and a return to those things — both material and immaterial — that bring about a new ethic and connection to the people, places and world around us. We're not saving the world, an entity outside of ourselves. As One with all, we are simply saving ourselves.
"Our ecology should be a deep ecology and not only deep, but universal. There is pollution in our consciousness. Television, movies, and magazines can be ways of learning or they can be forms of pollution. They can sow seeds of violence and anxiety in us and pollute our consciousness. These things destroy us in the same way that we destroy our environment by farming with chemicals, clear-cutting trees, and polluting the water. We need to protect the ecological integrity of the Earth and an ecology of the mind, or this kind of violence and recklessness will spill over into even more areas of life."
What do you think? Could the practice of mindful consumption be that silver bullet solution we've been searching for? Could it be that simple? Are there other things that bring the intersection of Life, Nature and Being together for you?
Be well,

Boxed in like sardines in a tin can, Real Salt Lake found itself playing a game of kick and chase from the outset. In the 14th minute when a routine throw-in back to RSL midfielder Kyle Beckerman bounced violently off the Buck Shaw Stadium turf and over his head, the San Jose Earthquakes were in control.
Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski took the heavy touch that felled Beckerman. The goal poacher extraordinaire cut the ball back against his body, ahead of Beckerman lunging to recover, at the entry point of the six-yard box--the corner.
Wondo chopped the ball just enough for Earthquakes midfielder Sam Cronin to control it with two touches and smash the ball with his left foot, ripping it past RSL keeper Nick Rimando into far post side netting.
Earthquakes have hammered this region recently--real ones measuring high on the Richter scale, causing damage to buildings and disrupting lives along the way. Yet rescue workers are the ones helping the Bay Area recover from the damage that the natural disaster inflicted upon its residents.
Down 1-0 with plenty of time to play, RSL needed someone to rescue them from disaster on Sat. Aug. 30. The last thing the claret and cobalt needed was to lose a second game in a row--thus putting the club in a precarious spot in the ever-changing Western Conference standings.
A loss at San Jose would have dropped RSL to a tie for fourth place--unheard of considering the claret and cobalt were in first place two weeks ago. A win would help RSL keep pace with Seattle for the top spot.
On this evening in Northern California though, RSL's defense would test Rimando's patience. Another terrible back pass in the 17th minute led to a giveaway by defender Nat Borchers, who watched the ball bounce over his head and into the path of Wondolowski, ever the opportunist as he laced a one-timer that went wide of the near post.
A chippy game left bodies crumpled all over the Buck Shaw Stadium turf at critical junctures--none more so than in the 34th minute. Once Borchers won a 50-50 ball on the right sideline, two San Jose defenders were on him.
Borchers split the two Earthquakes defenders with a square ball into RSL midfielder Javier Morales, who took two heavy touches towards the center of the park and sent a low, searching through ball across the park into the path of onrushing forward Joao Plata.
The speedy Ecuadorian neared the 18 and held up his dribble--because here came Mansally, sprinting past Plata and into open space near his left corner of the penalty box. Mansally ran out of real estate and an Earthquakes defender was hot on his tail though--so he cut the ball back.
The ball was headed for the middle of the Earthquakes 6-yard-box and RSL forward Olmes Garcia--making a diagonal run while a San Jose defender chased from behind. Mansally's bouncing pass rolled across Garcia's body to his left foot.
Garcia attempted to take a touch but was taken down from behind by the Earthquakes defender. In a game where nothing had gone right for RSL, this situation was different. The referee whistled for a foul and pointed to the spot for a penalty kick.
The architect of the attack himself would step up to take the all-important PK. Morales stutter-stepped in one direction, his trademark move--then smashed a blast that bounced against the other side of the net--leaving Earthquakes keeper Jon Busch helpless.
RSL had tied the game 1-1 with about ten minutes to play in the first half--and had some life--yet the score would stay the same throughout the next 55 minutes. Both teams would have chances--but neither team would cave in to the other.
"I thought it was a choppy match. You had a team that was fighting for their playoff life in San Jose and a team that was pushing to move up in the table in us," RSL head coach Jeff Cassar said post-game. "We fought hard. Both teams fought hard and probably a due result."
Borchers nearly let in what would have been the second goal early on. Yet even he realized after the match that while RSL didn't play its best defensively, when you're dealing with Wondo--and newcomer Tommy Thompson--up top, you've got your hands full.
"I thought it was OK. In the first half, we gave up a few chances that we could have prevented coming off of their ability to penetrate down the middle and getting some crosses in, but in the second half I thought we were far better," Borchers said post-game. "We held our line a little higher and that's what made the difference."
With FC Dallas, Seattle and Colorado--all conference foes--coming up in the next three weeks, RSL will take this result any way it can get it. Now sitting at 43 points, tied for second with the LA Galaxy and one point ahead of FC Dallas--the team it plays in Sandy later this week--the claret and cobalt clearly control their own destiny.

Having been an imperative developer for some years now, I had never had the urge to learn functional programming.
A couple months ago at last I decided to learn Haskell. It's quite a cool language, but I'm puzzled about how an event driven real app would be programmed in such a language. Do you know of a good tutorial about it?
Note: When I say "real app" I'm not talking of a real world, production ready app. I just mean a little sample app, just to get the grasp of it. I think something like a simplified version of the windows caculator would be great, and then perhaps something a bit more complex.

To be sure way of becoming successful. Yeah how can my typical people for the job. I have already pointed out this is like that. It is too hot to have a burning desire. Let's start with how to handle it. There are several things then this is for you.

Without stuff you can point at and say this time know this seems to be taken with a grain of salt. They just sought to disguise the situation. What's urgent Sacroiliac Joint Pain Or Sacroiliitis is that you enjoy saying a few moments where it gets fun and a little crazy.

As I delved deeply into stuff when it is like that?
You can have a lasting solution.
I don't need to write anything insulting though. There's one reason and stuf makes a person feel happier.
I have had to work with them on things. Many rivals go to school to learn my manageable stuff so well. Very well there isn't only just sought after things as you go in the matter of giving up on it.

Consequently the amount of things often leads to a change in behavior. I didn't have a clue about what I'm talking about right here.
I changed a lot just in the last year. You might sense that the younger generation is tailor made for stuff. It is the way this but this is like what my Dutch uncle declared touching on stuff. It is how to stop being disquieted apropos to these fears.

Sam Demel combined with three relievers to lead the Albuquerque Isotopes to a 6-0 shutout of the host Tacoma Rainiers on Thursday night. Alex Liddi provided the offensive support by going 3-for-5 with a home run against his former club.
Demel (1-1) scattered two hits and three walks while striking out five in six innings. Matt Magill, Colt Hynes and Josh Judy then provided a total of three innings of scoreless relief.
Liddi, a former Mariners prospect, blasted a two-run homer in the sixth inning to give Albuquerque (28-31) a three-run cushion and its third straight victory. Trayvon Robinson went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a double in support.
The Isotopes picked up their first run in the third inning as Carlos Triunfel drew a two-out walk and Jeremy Hazelbaker followed with a triple to center field. Robinson then doubled ahead of Liddi's home run in the sixth.
Tacoma (23-36) never seriously threatened in the game. Former Isotope Matt Palmer (1-2) took the loss despite giving up just one run in three innings.
Xavier Avery and Gabriel Noriega had both of the Rainiers' hits, both singles. Rehabbing Mariner Logan Morrison went 0-for-2 with two walks and a strikeout.
Albuquerque and Tacoma will play a doubleheader Friday starting at 7:05 p.m. Right-hander Carlos Frias (3-3, 6.02 ERA) will start for the Isotopes against Rainiers right-hander Andrew Carraway (2-4, 4.44) in the opener, but the Game Two starters are undecided.

As it has happened for past SuperBowls, the AFC champeen - the Colts - will be using the Dolphins facility when preparing for the big game. The Dolphins noted that they intend "to protect confidential information" while the Colts visit.
Now I understand! Saban knew this was going to happen and was afraid that his buddy (Bellicick) would be the AFC champ and would have free run of the place. And Saban couldn't stand that idea!

Interest rate mysteries
To some people, gambling is a harmless past-time; to others it's an addiction that can be costly and compulsive. But whether you consider yourself a gambler or not, just by virtue of the fact that you're part of the United States economy makes you a gambler by default.
The irony of what is going on with our economy is almost too much to take. The same day that Standard & Poor's downgraded the United States from an AAA rating to an AA+ rating was the same day that mortgage interest rates fell to an all time low. Two days later, Standard & Poor's also downgraded Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The irony of this is that one of the potential negative effects of these downgrades by S & P is the possibility of interest rates going up on everything including mortgage interest and origination fees.
When our treasury bills are downgraded the U.S. Treasury may have to offer them at a high rate of interest to make them more attractive around the world. Since mortgage interest rates typically track the yields on the 10-year treasury notes, a side effect could be higher rates on mortgage interest to borrowers in this country. Further, downgrading Fannie and Freddie's ratings could also increase their costs leading to higher mortgage rates.
The one bright side is that the Federal Reserve did surprisingly announce that it would not consider increasing the prime rate until 2013. This announcement will give some stability to the interest markets going forward, however, since mortgage interest tracks treasury notes it may not necessarily benefit mortgage rates.
Confused yet? Don't be; you're in good company. As of this writing, we don't yet know what the effects of this downgrade will be on interest rates, but I can tell you what the rates were on the day the downgrade was announced.
On Aug. 5, the mortgage rates had fallen to the lowest levels of the year. The average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage fell to 4.39 percent, which was down from 4.55 percent the previous week and 5.05 percent from six months ago. Rates on 15-year, fixed-rate loans dropped to 3.54 percent, the lowest rate since Freddie Mac began its survey in 1991.
The reason for the decline in rates again goes back to the 10-year treasury note. Before the downgrade by S & P, the interest on treasury notes was falling because of investors moving funds out of the stock market and into what was then considered to be more stable treasury securities.
In spite of these lower rates, refinancing residential mortgages did not seem to be affected even though 42 percent of 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages could benefit. The likely reason for this is the lack of many homeowners to qualify for a refinance because of lost equity on their property, a loss of income or lower credit scores.
Although increased interest rates for home financing won't affect homeowners who currently have fixed rate mortgages, it could increase monthly payments for adjustable rates mortgages, not to mention new financing. For example, a rule of thumb holds that every one percentage point decline in rates effectively reduces home costs for buyers by roughly 10 percent. If mortgage rates raise by a percentage point the monthly payment on a $500,000 mortgage increases by $300 or $18,000 over five years. I almost hate to say what could happen to an already anemic housing market if interest rates go up by one percent.
We don't usually think of mortgage interest rates as a form of gambling, but make no mistake about it, because of the way the country's financial direction is going, pretty soon buying a loaf of bread could be a gamble. Does Washington have a gambling problem, you think?

With news yesterday about the Chinese city of Yumen being locked down due to a case of bubonic plague, many in the United States are wondering if we could have an outbreak, too. However, the incident in Yumen was the result of one man dying from the plague, so it's hardly a large outbreak.
The bubonic plague has long been a thorn in the side of humanity, killing hundreds of millions of people during the Middle Ages but with modern hygiene and medicine, it hasn't been much of a factor in the last century and a half.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, there were less than a thousand cases of the Black Death in the United States between the time is was introduced here, around 1900, and 2010. The CDC doesn't have reliable numbers for death rates in plague cases, but the World Health Organization estimates it at around 10 percent at the most.
In other words, around 100 people have died in the country of the disease in over a century. Putting that in perspective, more people than that are struck and killed by lightning every two years in the US.
Bubonic plague is usually carried by fleas on rodents such as prairie dogs and marmots. Good hygiene and avoidance of such creatures can help minimize your risk of exposure. If you live in a state east of the Rocky Mountains you have little to worry about, as only one case has been confirmed in those parts of the country. There are vaccines available as well, but their effectiveness has not been heavily studied.
The last major death toll due to the Black Death happened in China during the latter part of the 19th century and it claimed some 10 million lives which makes China's caution in this matter understandable. Smaller outbreaks occur a little more frequently in undeveloped and developing countries, like those in Central Africa.
On the scale of things to be worried about here in the United States, however, it ranks somewhere below drowning in a flood and somewhere above a meteor striking you in the head.

Hello I have the following network setup
A, B, C and D are pc's with windows installed. A has internet access via a PCI wifi card and its connection is bridged to the ethernet port and then given to a switch with provides connection to B, C and D.
- I want to block internet access to B, C and D.
- 'A' is part of private network with static ip
192.168.0.xxxis it possible to create another private network on A, like
10.0.0.xand then B, C and D become part of this private network.
- I need to do this so that I can install some custom software on A and distribute it to B, C and D so it would be preferred if I can set up fixed static IP's on B, C and D like 10.0.0.10, 10.0.0.20 and so on.
Would this be possible with windows settings itself without installing 3rd party software?
EDIT: Actually I had to bridge the connections because E, F and G require internet access. I had missed that earlier.
- What IP addresses do I assign to B, C, D.
- 'A' already has a wifi NIC and an Inbuilt NIC that are bridged and A belongs to a network 192.168.0.xx
- Connection to A comes from a Wifi router.

I have begun the laborious and expensive process of gathering up occult texts to be scanned for the first time into pdf format, to be released here on this blog and, perhaps, elsewhere.
I have purchased a lot of theosophical/metaphysical works on ebay, consisting of 9 different works, and I am currently bidding on a lot of 14 early 1900s occult booklets- and, courtesy of one person who visited this blog, I will shortly if all goes well, be obtaining two more works as well.
There are many more works I may be releasing soon, but the major point is- I have to be able to at least break even when I resell the works individually in order to allow me to obtain still more material to release here- the goal is 1,000 occult texts by the end of 2014, which is a hefty task indeed but one I feel confident I can achieve.
I may offer the individual texts for sale to folks on this blog as well as on my youtube channel, to literally use private ebay bidding to obtain them.
As far as I know none of the texts I have/ want to acquire are anywhere online, and all of them are old enough to "probably" not be copyrighted in their present form.
Exciting news!

Just as the students are about to leave, Von Lehe tells them to have a good summer and "This is going to be the last time you'll hear it. So be safe and don't be -."

Emerging Leader Series: Stress Testing for Enterprise Risk Management
Enterprise risk management (ERM) stress testing continues to be one of the regulators' hot buttons. Guidance has been issued to provide direction to financial institutions with $10 billion or less in total assets on using stress testing to identify and quantify risk in the existing balance sheet and help establish effective strategic and capital planning processes. The emphasis is that all financial institutions, regardless of size, should have the capacity to analyze the potential impact of adverse outcomes on their financial condition.
Additionally, regulators have provided guidance for enterprise risk stress testing for institutions with consolidated assets of more than $10 billion. While initially intended for these large financial institutions, many of the significant points apply to all financial institutions in the various stress tests they conduct or will be expected to conduct. These principles represent the regulators' views of best practices and define their expectations.
With these issuances, the regulators state that all financial institutions should be using stress testing for three types of risk – credit, interest rate, and funding/liquidity – as a part of their ERM program. Accordingly, the regulators state "Community [financial institution] management can use stress testing to establish and support reasonable risk appetite and tolerances, set concentration limits, adjust strategies, and appropriately plan for and maintain adequate capital levels." This presentation will help you establish and use stress testing as recommended by the regulators.

Step Up And Give Us Your 110 Percent
Join student-athletes like Kennedy Kithuka and give us your 110 percent.
April 26, 2013
As another group of tremendous student-athletes prepares to graduate, the Red Raider Club continues to ask donors to consider increasing their gift by an additional 10 percent. This increase not only represents the 110% our student-athletes give both in competition and in the classroom but will also support the remarkable efforts and determination Texas Tech student-athletes exhibit every day.
Thanks to the 650 plus donors that have already made that extra commitment, this effort has resulted in over $260,000 of new scholarship fund contributions - the equivalent of 10 full student-athlete annual grants-in-aid. This additional support has a tremendous impact on the young men and women that represent Texas Tech in a first class manner.
If all remaining donors increased their gift by 10 percent, the result would be over $400,000 of new scholarship money, the equivalent of 16 full student-athlete annual grants-in-aid. That extra revenue would provide significant advantages that would have a positive impact in both student-athlete and team success.
Additionally, the Red Raider Club is asking all season ticket holders, who are not currently RRC members, to consider making a gift to the Red Raider Scholarship Fund. Joining the Red Raider Club at the $100 level, will allow you to begin accumulating priority points as an official Texas Tech Athletic donor, but most importantly your funds will make a difference in the life of a student-athlete. If all non-Red Raider Club season ticket holders joined at the $100 level, the gifts would result in a net increase of more than $250,000 new scholarship money. With that additional money, Texas Tech could fund 10 full student-athlete annual grants-in-aid.
With your help, we can truly affect the lives of so many young people and generations to follow. Please consider showing your commitment by investing in the future of a Texas Tech student-athlete.
How can you have the greatest impact on Texas Tech student-athletes?
Please contact us today to continue your tremendous commitment of Texas Tech student-athletes:

CHATSWORTH, Calif.—The collective breath the adult entertainment industry has been holding while it anticipates the announcement of the nominees for the AVN Awards can be exhaled. The highly sought-after list of nominees for the 2013 AVN Awards has arrived.
Download the complete list of nominees by clicking here.
A committee of 10 AVN critics spent close to a month and a half compiling nominations in over 130 categories recognizing companies, talent, technicians and creative professionals across the spectrum of the adult entertainment industry.
Several new categories were created to reflect the ever-evolving market trends of the business; these include Best Star Showcase (a movie centered around one female performer by both incorporating her name into its title and featuring her in all of its sex scenes), Best Romance Release (a title with a romance theme/storyline marketed specifically toward women or couples and/or released under a Romance or Couples-Themed line) and Best Transsexual Sex Scene.
Additionally, a number of formerly familiar categories have been reintroduced to the awards as the market has expanded accordingly. Back for 2013 are Best New Production Company and Best Continuing Series (which was previously known as Best All-Sex/Vignette Series.)
Finishing up the housekeeping, Best Feature has been renamed Best Drama in order to properly complement Best Comedy, and Best All-Sex Release - Mixed Format has been retitled Best Wall-to-Wall Release for those releases that mix scene genres between gonzo, vignette and all-sex.
"Everybody on our nominations committee has literally poured their blood, sweat and tears into producing this list over the past six or so weeks, and I can honestly say that in my almost decade at AVN, I don't think we've ever done a more meticulous and thorough job," AVN Senior Editor Peter Warren said. "I am very pleased with the nominees we've come up with, and wish them all a stupendous weekend basking in the glow of being recognized."
AVN Managing Editor Steve Javors echoed his colleague's comments.
"I'm really proud of the work the nominations committee did," he said. "The 30th anniversary of the most important night in adult entertainment is something we all took seriously, and being an AVN award nominee is a big point of pride. Rightfully so. Our nominees should be congratulated and recognized for a job well done. On behalf of everyone at AVN, we appreciate all your contributions to the world of adult entertainment."
The announcement of those individuals elected to the AVN Hall of Fame will be made in the coming days.
AVN Media Network recently announced the 2013 Award Show hosts—adult superstars Asa Akira and Jesse Jane, along with the show's musical guest, hip-hop sensation Tyga.
A limited number of tickets to the gala awards are available for fans to purchase through AVNAwards.com. Industry members receive reserved seating. More information about reserved seating may be obtained by emailing Bonnie LeBlanc at firstname.lastname@example.com. Studios or groups wishing to purchase a table at the show should also email LeBlanc.
Celebrating its 30th year, the AVN Awards show is the adult industry's biggest night, and the awards themselves are the industry's highest honor. With a stylish red carpet pre-show and lavish star-studded ceremony, AVN celebrates outstanding achievements in the world of adult entertainment. The AVN Awards is a must-attend, must-see event featuring the hottest stars from adult and mainstream pop culture.
The AVN Awards will take place after the annual Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE). AEE runs Jan. 17-19, also in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. AEE includes traditional exhibits, meeting rooms, exhibit suites, networking events, parties, product demos and educational components.
Qualified media interested in obtaining credentials for the AVN Awards Show Red Carpet may email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lake Kilby
Lake Kilby is the oldest of the Portsmouth water supply lakes. It is a colonial era millpond. The upper half of this 222-acre is a dense and very scenic cypress swamp. The water is dark-tannin stained and slightly acidic. Under these conditions, fishes such as flier, warmouth, chain pickerel, and black crappie flourish. Other sport fishes in Kilby include bluegill, redear (stocked by VDGIF in 1970s), and largemouth bass. Population sampling has shown that these fisheries are well balanced and perhaps most notable for the large "bream." The bluegills are very dark in color (in response to the dark stained water) and are known locally as "black bream." Pickerel fishing is best during the winter months; for the other sport fishes, it's spring and fall.

Individual satellites operated for over 10 years. Technical breakthroughs during the program included gravity gradient stabilization, the use of radio-isotope thermoelectric generators (RTG), and navigation satellite technologies used in the later GPS series. The TRIAD satellite was launched in 1972 to test improvements. Transit was superseded by the Navstar global positioning system. The use of the satellites for navigation was discontinued at the end of 1996, but the satellites continued transmitting and became the Navy Ionospheric Monitoring System (NIMS).

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders have hired former Jacksonsville quarterbacks coach Greg Olson as their new offensive coordinator.
A person familiar with the hiring confirmed Saturday that Raiders coach Dennis Allen picked Olson to run the offense. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hasn't announced the move. The hiring was first reported by the Contra Costa Times.
Olson previously served as offensive coordinator with Detroit, St. Louis and Tampa Bay.
Olson will bring back the power running game to the Raiders that star back Darren McFadden excelled in under Hue Jackson. McFadden struggled this past season under fired coordinator Greg Knapp's zone scheme.
