After the fight, Marquez said he'd like to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was rated the No. 1 fighter in the world when he unexpectedly retired in June. Mayweather has a large tax debt and is widely expected to return, though it's not likely he'd have much interest in fighting Marquez.
Promoter Oscar De La Hoya said he fully expected Mayweather to return and said he'd work to arrange a Mayweather-Marquez fight or a Mayweather-Shane Mosley match. But he took a little jab at the man who defeated him in 2007 and said he doubted Mayweather would be up to the challenge.
"He will be back, absolutely," De La Hoya said of Mayweather. "He will be back. If he wants to fight a Shane Mosley or a Juan Manuel Marquez, or any of our other fighters, they're right here waiting for him.
"Juan Manuel is a dangerous, dangerous fighter for Mayweather, and I don't see him taking it because he is so dangerous. Just like he won't take Mosley. Absolutely, I have no doubt he is [looking for safe fights]."
The ring wasn't a safe place to be Saturday, which hasn't always been the case in recent years. But executives at HBO, which televises the lion's share of the sport's major matches, insist they no longer are interested in giving stars easy victories.
About eight hours before the broadcast kicked off on Saturday, HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg said he had learned his lesson and that the company was going to insist that the promoters provide only quality, competitive matches.
"We're standing firm," said Greenburg, who has come under heavy media attack in recent years because of the large number of mismatches that have appeared on the network.
But all three HBO shows in 2009 have been compelling, and next week's "Boxing After Dark" show in San Jose, Calif., headlined by James Kirkland and Joel Julio, is another quality card.
Marquez, one of the most entertaining fighters of his generation, said he's happy to oblige with those kinds of shows.
"I only want to fight the best guys," Marquez said. "Mayweather, [Ricky] Hatton, [Manny] Pacquiao, whoever it is, those are the fights I want. These are the kinds of fights the people want. You heard them tonight. These are the kinds of fights we should give them."
Greenburg might win Man of the Year if he can fill the final 10 months of the year with the kinds of shows HBO has aired already. And if Diaz keeps fighting the way he has, he may yet fulfill his dream of getting elected to a political office.
Marquez may not win any elections or popularity contests, but all he does is put on compelling shows and, more often than not, comes out on top.
He said he wants to fight at least two more times in 2009, if not more, which is only great news for the sport.
It's looking like 2009 is going to be the sport's best year in a long time.

Those spent leaves look remarkable- far more impressive than the usual mulch. Perhaps if the pick were a 2 to 1 bud system, it would be better for the long haul, but then it would be an entirely different animal. Nothing wrong with a decent tea for drinking today.
I just may have to give this one a go.

Rated 1 out of 5�by MommaM sinking paddle Just bought this. I was very excited to start paddle boarding. Being new to paddle boarding, I naturally took a spill into the lake, dropped my paddle and it sank! I have kayak and canoe paddles and those have never sank so I am not quite sure why they would make a paddle board paddle that doesn't float!! I'm glad I was on a small lake!! September 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Zak So far so good! I have only used the paddle once, but it held up great. It adjust very easy and has many length options. December 2, 2013

Kevin Fehling, chef de cuisine at Restaurant La Belle Epoque at Columbia Hotel Casino Travemünde, is one of the most talented and most fascinating of Germany's new-generation chefs.
In the classic ambience of Columbia Hotel Casino Travemünde, 34-year-old Kevin Fehling pursues one of the most exciting and most refreshing approaches to food anywhere in Germany. Within a very short time, Fehling has honed his skills, emancipated himself from classic cuisine and created a style that is wholly his own. Inspired by the refined avant garde, he is developing a subtle structural language on the plate that offers untold potential in terms of flavour combinations. Fehling is a meticulous chef who surrounds his outstanding ingredients with a whole bouquet of small, new, perfectly proportioned ideas that dovetail wonderfully and exemplify his cuisine. His dishes reflect his profound understanding of food, which promises great things still to come.
One standout cold starter is his raw marinated langoustine with blood orange, Buddha's hand, shiso and ginger oil , in which Fehling drapes the sensational langoustine medallions across the plate, adding to each a piece of almond, blood orange jelly, a little shiso cress and a thin slice of Buddha's hand (a citrus fruit that looks like a hand). Every mouthful has the right effect, with subtle, magically blended flavours on the palate: sweetness, spiciness (ginger oil), succulent marine freshness and a hint of earthy herbiness. Equally exquisite are his one-hour egg with sot l'y laisse, Périgord truffle & Jerusalem artichoke, and his white chocolate foam with matcha tea jelly, radish, peach sorbet & pomegranate.

At long last, after a busy offseason of blockbuster trades involving high-ceiling prospects, spring training is finally upon us. However, in the prospect realm, the arrival of pitchers and catchers also means that the ranking season is underway.
There's nothing easy about putting together a top-50 or top-100 prospect list; it's admittedly a massive undertaking. After all, the nature of ranking prospects is completely subjective—as it always will be. Furthermore, it's imperative to keep in mind that all of these young players are constantly evolving. Every prospect is uniquely different and deserves to be evaluated with an open mind.
Although I will always stand by my rankings, I also expect to be wrong about many of the players on the list. In reality, it's not a matter of being "right" or "wrong" about a prospect's development and future potential. I'm sure that there will be numerous players left off my list who excel in 2013 and finish toward the top of the end-of-year rankings.
However, that's all part of the process. If anything, underestimating or overlooking a prospect's upside serves as a valuable learning experience and tool for future scouting work and player analysis.
For those who are interested in talking about my rankings or anything else prospect-related, please feel free to reach out to me at any time on Twitter (@GoldenSombrero), or just shoot me an email.
Without further delay, here's a look at Prospect Pipeline's Top 100 prospects headed into spring training.

Spicy Sausage, Chicken and Bean Pot
Recipe courtesy of Rachael Ray, 2007
- 30 Minute Meals
This one-pot meal is a wink and a nudge to cassoulet -- in 30 minutes.
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
- 3/4 pound bulk Italian hot sausage
- 3/4 pound, 1 package, andouille sausage, cut into 1-inch lengths on an angle
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large onion, quartered and thinly sliced
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 3 to 4 ribs celery from the heart, thinly sliced
- 1 fresh bay leaf
- 2 (15-ounce) cans white cannellini beans
- 5 to 6 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 loaf baguette
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- A handful fresh parsley sprigs, left whole
- 3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme, left whole
Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat with extra-virgin olive oil. Crumble the Italian sausage into large pieces, add to Dutch oven and begin to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the andouille and crisp at edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove browned sausages to a paper towel lined plate and add chicken, season with salt and pepper. Lightly brown chicken a couple of minutes on each side then add veggies and bay leaf, add more salt and pepper and cook 7 to 8 minutes more to soften veggies. Add sausages back to the pan along with the beans and sage. Deglaze with wine and stir in the stock.
Turn broiler on and set rack in the middle of the oven.
Coarsely chop the bread in food processor into large crumbs, remove blade and toss with melted butter (it melts in 15 seconds in microwave) and the parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Cover the sausage and chicken with bread and set in oven to brown 2 to 3 minutes. Serve directly from the pot. Keep an eye out for that bay leaf and sprigs!

8:00 a.m. Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga - Yin Yoga is the softer side, the balance to the intense, heat building, sweaty, strengthening "yang" of a Vinyasa or faster moving practice. Yin Yoga focuses on connective tissues, as well as lengthening muscles around the hips, pelvis and back. In this class students hold passive poses for 3-5 minutes and focus on movement and creating circulation in between the poses. Holding poses for a length of time helps to restore elasticity to connective tissues that diminishes with age and physical activity. Due to slower pace of a Yin practice, it will restore energy and calm the nervous system, another wonderful benefit.

Good way to get them counting!
By Tomtom
from West Midlands
My son uses these at his play group so when I saw them on this site at such a good price I knew they would be a hit! We have used them for basic counting and sorting so far but I can see we will be using them for many years as his Maths skills develop.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was very slow (everytime I checked online the date for these being available had changed so order took a few weeks to arrive) but I cannot fault customer services who were very helpful. My only complaint is that I was asked to review the product before I had even received it.
Merchant response: We are currently in the process of moving our warehouse which is resulting in some delays and disruption to deliveries. We apologise for the inconvenience caused during this time

Gradually but noticeably, wine is being marketed differently in America.
The Millennial Generation has become the second-largest wine-consuming group in the country, right behind the Baby Boomers, and the industry has taken notice. Sometimes referred to as Generation Y or Generation Next, this crowd can be roughly defined as the 21- to 35-year-old demographic (you know, the bunch raised on iPods and Facebook), and they are experiencing wine in a totally different way than their parents do.
For one thing, Millennials expect drinking to be fun. This assumption separates them starkly from their elders, who accepted wine on the terms it was offered—serious, even scholarly, full of technical jargon. Young imbibers today want to know how wine fits into their social and recreational lives, rather than obsessing about when the grapes were harvested, how the juice was vinified or which critic rated it 93 points.
Consider Mutineer Magazine, published by 28-year-old Alan Kropf. It focuses on beer and spirits as well as wine, and its mission is "to share the modern fine-beverage experience with the Millennial Generation." Rather than running didactic reviews, the pages are more likely to feature pieces on personalities such as video blogger Gary Vaynerchuk, founder of Wine Library TV; Randall Grahm, author and founder of Bonny Doon Vineyard; and rocker-turned-winemaker Maynard James Keenan. Mutineer also sponsors a series of traveling conferences called Wine Circuses around the country, consisting of three-hour seminars that discuss millennial culture and its impact on the wine business.
One of the speakers at the Wine Circuses is Tyler Balliet, founder of Second Glass (below right), an enthusiasts' group best known for so-called Wine Riots—relaxed, casual tastings held in major cities. Instead of taking notes, participants are encouraged to download a mobile app and record their impressions on their smartphones. The events include a DJ spinning what is described as a "killer soundtrack," and towards the end of the evening, attendees can get a temporary tattoo and pose in a photo booth. Following the first-ever of these in Brooklyn, The New York Times headlined its review: "Wine Riot Attracts Non-Snobby Sippers."
According to industry insiders, the booming success of the Australian "critter labels," such as Yellow Tail and Little Penguin, can be attributed to their popularity among the 21-30 age group. With bright colors and cartoonish depictions of exotic animals, these bottles appear to be as far removed as possible from the wines favored by the parents of Gen Y. In addition, the flavor profiles appeal to novice wine drinkers; off-dry, filled with forward fruit and low in tannin, they provide an easy introduction.
It's no surprise that brands are being created specifically with this audience in mind. One example is HobNob, created by W.J. Deutsch & Sons with the intent of "taking the pretension out of wine," in the words of one executive. HobNob is imported from France, but you won't find that information on the bottle, nor will you see a line drawing of a château—just a clean and eye-catching geometric design. As one might expect, the marketing campaign includes a heavy dose of social media, along with an interactive website and an iPhone app.
Millennials appear to be extremely sensitive to pandering, and companies are cautiously trying not to step over the line when soliciting their business. But at the same time, Gen Y-ers' spirit of adventure and willingness to try new things (independent of third-party reviews) is electrifying the wine world. Interested onlookers want to know what the young crowd is pouring, and it's certainly not your father's Lafite.

Richard 'Dick' William Wilson
MARQUETTE – Richard "Dick" William Wilson, 71, of 1710 West Ave. Marquette, entered eternal life on Friday, March 1, 2013, at his home. He was in the loving care of his family and the Upper Peninsula Home Health and Hospice.
Dick was born May 22, 1941, in Port Huron, Mich., the son of the late Elmer and Ruth Rose (nee Marciniak) Wilson. He was a graduate of the Port Huron High School, Class of 1959. Dick then enlisted in the United States Air Force in July of 1959 and was stationed in Alaska working as a Russian linguist. After his military service he attended Alpena Community College studying political science.
Dick married Kathleen Marie Sherey of Alpena, Mich., on May 29, 1965. He worked for Retail Credit Co. as an insurance investigator, later was offered a job as an assistance payment worker at the Department of Social Services in Alpena. Dick also worked part-time as a referee for hockey at the Mich-Ke-Wis Park while in Alpena, Mich. He was promoted to the position of auditor and transferred to D.S.S. in Marquette, Mich., working for 13 years for the state of Michigan and retired in 1987.
Dick played a significant role in Marquette County, receiving various awards including volunteer of the year. He served on the board of directors at Pregnancy Services for several years. After his retirement from the state he was a guardian/conservator rep./payee along with volunteer transporter, with a case load up to 24 clients. He unselfishly took care of his wards up until his very last days, with the majority of his cases being "pro bono." Richard had a fascination with the law and was very articulate in everything he did. In 1992 he was instrumental in pursuing a legal action on behalf of one of his wards which ended up becoming a published case in the Michigan Court of Appeals.
Dick was involved with many agencies throughout the Upper Peninsula such as the Department of Human Services, the Marquette School District, Probate Court, Pregnancy Services, The Salvation Army and the St. Vincent de Paul Society. He enjoyed the outdoors, fly fishing, photography, bird watching, and golf. He was a member of the Wawonowin Country Club for many years and had served on its board of directors. He was also a member of the St. Michaels Catholic Church in Marquette and enjoyed attending Sunday Mass.
Survivors include his wife, Kathleen Wilson of Marquette; three children, Tanya (Perry) Lund of Gladstone, Mich., Kelly (David) Rumney of DeWitt, Mich., and Gary (Melissa) Wilson of Marquette; a brother, Charlie Wilson of Sacramento, Calif.; grandchildren, Ilah and Molly-Tulip Wilson, Ben Noah and Jonah Rumney. He was preceded in death by a stillborn brother, David Wilson.
The family will greet relatives and friends from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, at the Bjork & Zhulkie Funeral Home in Ishpeming. A celebration of Dick's life will follow at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Bjork & Zhulkie Funeral Home with the Rev. Fr. Larry Van Damme to officiate. The Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 380 will accord military honors at the conclusion of the services.

I would like to thank the men who did a wonderful job on our street, Richards Road, in Columbus. They were very gracious when we needed to get out of our driveways.
We have lived in our home for nearly 50 years, and this street had not been touched since 1979. I was told it was the third-worst street in the city.
Many people would call to have something done, but were told there was no money. So crews would just come to fix the potholes.
Our friends and family members hated coming to our house because of our street. Some had to have their cars realigned.
So I say a big "thank you" again. The guys did a great job.

Interactive Travel Map | Text the SecretaryAbout the Author: Robyn Remeika serves as the Public Diplomacy Officer covering cultural affairs at the U.S. Consulate in Mumbai, India.
The campus of St. Xavier's College in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) was buzzing in anticipation of Secretary Clinton's town hall style meeting. The historic Gothic heritage building was filled with the beaming faces of young volunteer teachers from NGOs Teach for India as well as Teach India.
As the Secretary entered the room, television cameramen and print media photographers jostled for position while the audience members craned their necks for a better view. After all, it's not every day that the U.S. Secretary of State joins in conversation with Bollywood. But today, Secretary Clinton was joined by Aamir Khan, one of India's most famous, critically acclaimed, and socially conscious actors and directors. The conversation was steered by Arnab Goswami, Editor-in-Chief of Times Now, a top Indian news channel.
Mr. Khan and Mr. Goswami warmly greeted the Secretary, and she reciprocated. She then turned to the gathering of approximately 75 young educators, who were clearly bristling with excitement at the chance to interact directly with public figures they hold in such high esteem.
Secretary Clinton connected with them, underlining the importance of education in the world's largest, and the world's oldest, democracies. She and Mr. Khan agreed that classroom education is less effective when focused merely on rote memorization or tests. Secretary Clinton noted that cooperation and collaboration are just as important as competition among countries as well as people.
Teach India, the community service initiative of the Times Media Group, has seen a flood of applications since launching in 2008. Aamir Khan is the brand ambassador for both Teach India and Teach for India, and strongly supports them both. The tone of the conversation between Secretary Clinton and Aamir Khan was friendly and relaxed. I felt like I was looking into someone's living room. It may have been the monsoon season in Mumbai, but that did nothing to dampen the mood inside the historic hall at St. Xavier's.
When moderator Arnab Goswami asked for questions from the audience, and I could feel the eagerness in the room. The volunteers' questions ranged widely, from English as a second language to children's rights.
The event ended far too quickly in the eyes of the audience. This exchange of thoughts and opinions, with two of their role models, is a highlight they will never forget.
Joe in Tennessee writes:
I would be more concerned about Trade and Economics then entertainment and education.
India owes its present state to the U.S.A. We educated their people, provided funds here in the U.S. not available to U.S. citizens for business and lost many of our service and IT related jobs to their low cost ratios. In fact over thirty percent of ALL IT jobs in the U.S. went to India.
The problem being: When India upgraded their military the purchased billions in Russian Navy, Air and Ground hardware. When they upgraded their energy, they went again to Russia for all but one of their nuclear plants. WHEN does the U.S., who helped more than any other country from feeding its poor to education to expansion of their democracy get a return on its investment?
Soraya in the Philippines writes:
I definitely agree with Sec Clinton when she said that classroom education is less effective when focused merely on rote memory and tests. Philippine public schools are so focused on preparing for the national achievement test which ends in teaching for the test and teaching to prepare students for skills needed for life ahead
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
Thanks Robyn, for sharing this with us. I teach in a graduate program for aspiring ESL teachers, and I always love to see Hillary reaching out to young teachers. Of course they must have been very excited to have this opportunity, and I love the way Hillary manages to interact with so many people in the countries she visits. She is a very special person, and she is doing an impressive job. Just superb!

Arnes has, in cooperation with legal experts, prepared a Procedure for Alternative (Domain Name) Dispute Resolution (ADR) .

This procedure is also quick and inexpensive way of resolving domain name disputes but it does not exclude the possibility of using other legal remedies.
Three conditions must be fulfilled to initiate the ADR procedure:
In case of a dispute independent arbiters are appointed to deliver a verdict with which Arnes must comply with.

A .co.si domain must also have been registered for more than 60 days before you are allowed to transfer registrars. If, however, your domain happens to be involved in a legal dispute or if you are facing bankruptcy then the transfer of a domain name will not take effect.
Your .co.si domain transfer of your domain name generally takes at least ten working days to complete - this can be shorter or longer depending on the registrar you choose. The cost of transfer will also vary depending on the registrar. Some registrars may be more willing than others to work out a package deal for you. For example, they might offer to provide you with free domain transfer service if you agree to register your domain with them for a period of more than a year. Again, the deal you score will depend on the registrar and on the amount of time you put into finding a package that is most suited to your needs.

Supporting Vulnerable Seniors and Strengthening Canada's Economy Act
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Ted Menzies Macleod, AB
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-3, An Act to implement certain provisions of the 2011 budget as updated on June 6, 2011.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Canada Shipping Act, 2001
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Fin Donnelly New Westminster—Coquitlam, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-211, An Act to amend the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 (prohibition against oil tankers in Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound).
Mr. Speaker, I stand today to re-introduce my private member's bill to permanently ban transportation of oil by oil supertankers off British Columbia's north coast.
We must protect British Columbia's rugged northern coastline and coastal waters, the diversity of fish species and mammals, and the coastal communities that depend on a healthy fishing industry and a profitable ecotourism sector.
My bill would amend the Canada Shipping Act by prohibiting the transportation of oil in oil tankers along the north coast of British Columbia, specifically in the Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound. A major spill on the north coast would be catastrophic to the ecosystem and would negatively affect the economy in this area. It simply is not worth the risk.
I encourage all members of this House to support my bill and legislate an immediate ban on oil supertankers off the north coast of B.C.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Criminal Code
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Fin Donnelly New Westminster—Coquitlam, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-212, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (luring a child outside Canada).
Mr. Speaker, I rise again today to re-introduce legislation to strengthen the laws to protect children against child luring and abuse.
The legislation would make it illegal for any Canadian citizen or permanent resident to lure a child outside the borders of Canada.
The bill, if passed, would close a loophole in the Criminal Code. It would also make prosecution possible here at home.
I encourage all members of this House to support this bill.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Criminal Code
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Fin Donnelly New Westminster—Coquitlam, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-213, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (means of communication for child luring).
Mr. Speaker, I rise again to reintroduce legislation to strengthen laws to protect children against child luring and abuse. The legislation would expand the definition of "child luring" to include all forms of electronic communication, be it a cellular telephone or any other communication device. The legislation would provide law enforcement and the courts with additional tools to protect children from predators and would, again, close a loophole in the Criminal Code.
I encourage all members of this House to adopt the bill.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Routine Proceedings
June 14th, 2011 / 10:10 a.m.
Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I stand today to present a petition on behalf of literally thousands of Canadians from all across Canada who call upon Parliament to take note that asbestos is the greatest industrial killer that the world has ever known. In fact, they point out that more Canadians now die from asbestos than from all other industrial causes combined and yet they criticize the fact that the Government of Canada is still one of the largest producers and exporters of asbestos in the world. They suggest that we are exporting human misery on a monumental scale.
The petitioners also point out that Canada spends millions of dollars subsidizing the asbestos industry. These petitioners call this corporate welfare for corporate serial killers.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to ban asbestos in all of its forms and to institute a just transition program for asbestos workers who may be laid off as a result. They also call upon government to end all government subsidies of asbestos, both in Canada and abroad.
Finally, the petitioners call upon the government to stop blocking international health and safety conventions designed to protect workers from asbestos, such as the Rotterdam Convention that is coming up later this month and which Canada consistently sabotages with teams of Department of Justice lawyers like globe-trotting propagandists for the asbestos industry. They insist that the Government of Canada stops this promoting of asbestos.
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Kevin Lamoureux Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, I present a petition on behalf of constituents and others who are, in essence, calling upon the government to increase support to our seniors in terms of pensions.
Canadians are very much aware, in terms of the policy direction of the government, of it prioritizing things such as corporation tax breaks while, at the same time, not providing the necessary funds in order for many of our seniors to have a decent lifestyle.
The petitioners are asking the government to look at ways in which it can increase pensions.
It was a pleasure to bring this petition before this chamber.
Questions on the Order Paper
Routine Proceedings

Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, I ask that all questions be allowed to stand.

Is that agreed?
Questions on the Order Paper

Government Orders

Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs
That, in standing in solidarity with those seeking freedom in Libya, the House unanimously adopted a motion in the Third Session of the 40th Parliament on March 21, 2011, authorizing all necessary measures, including the use of the Canadian Forces and military assets in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973; and given that the House unanimously agreed that should the government require an extension to the involvement of the Canadian Forces for more than three months from the passage of the said motion, the government was to return to the House at its earliest opportunity to debate and seek the consent of the House for such an extension; therefore the House consents to another extension of three and a half months of the involvement of the Canadian Forces in accordance with UNSC Resolution 1973; that the House deplores the ongoing use of violence by the Libyan regime against the Libyan people, including the alleged use of rape as a weapon of war by the Libyan regime; that the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development and the Standing Committee on National Defence remain seized of Canada's activities under UNSC Resolution 1973; and that the House continues to offer its wholehearted support to the brave men and women of the Canadian Forces who stand on guard for all of us.
Mr. Speaker, before I begin my formal remarks, I once again thank the people of Ottawa West—Nepean for their confidence and trust. I will work tirelessly on their behalf each and every day.
It is an honour to stand in this place and speak to the motion before us. It is an honour because I am proud of the part that Canada has played in the mission to protect the Libyan people from their rulers. It is a mission that is not over yet. The push for a more free and fair Libya is a cause that is not yet achieved, so Canada and its international partners must continue to show resolve, patience and determination to go the distance and help Libyans secure their future.
We must extend our military mission there, we must redouble our diplomatic efforts and we must continue to increase humanitarian aid. That is what our government proposes going forward. The hon. members who will speak for the government over the course of today's debate will elaborate on a suite of actions that we are proposing.
While the citizens of Libya contemplate and prepare for the establishment of a constitutional state, modern and respectful of human rights, Colonel Gadhafi, without the slightest concern for his country, is practising a true scorched-earth policy. We continue to believe that without the intervention of the international community and the adoption of resolution 1973, Benghazi, the home of the opposition who were within range of Gadhafi's forces in March, would have been utterly devastated.
Remember the threat launched by Gadhafi himself: "The decision has been made. Get ready, we are coming tonight," he said in an audio message sent to Benghazi and broadcast on Libyan television.
He promised to search "house by house" and to show no mercy. However, because of our decisive action, Benghazi today is a vibrant community that, through the strength of its partnership projects, is inspiring to all who observe it.
Canada has been vocal in condemning the targeting of civilians by the Gadhafi regime and the impact of that regime's actions on the hundreds of thousands of people who have been trapped in Libya or, worse yet, forced to flee its borders.
This regime has chosen to wage war against its own people. In the face of this blatant disregard for both human rights and international law, Canada has demanded that the regime halt its attacks against its own people and ensure that perpetrators of crimes are brought to justice.
We have been particularly disgusted by abhorrent reports that Gadhafi and his thugs are using torture and sexual violence, rape, as weapons against the Libyan population. Such actions are international crimes and may be war crimes or crimes against humanity.
Canada calls for a full and impartial investigation of these serious allegations, so that the perpetrators can be brought to justice.
Canada has made significant contributions to humanitarian aid already, as my colleague will no doubt later detail. Let me say at this juncture that we are certainly prepared to do more. I am pleased to announce on behalf of my colleague, the Minister of International Cooperation, that Canada is prepared to commit an additional $2 million in humanitarian aid for Libya. A portion of this funding will go directly to support victims of sexual violence as a tool of war. I know this is something that all parties have called for and have supported. I appreciate their wise counsel.
On March 31, this House pledged, through a unanimous motion, its support for Canada's engagement in military operations in Libya. The men and women of the Canadian Forces, working under UN sanction, have helped to avert humanitarian tragedies in eastern Libya, and they have significantly limited the regime's capacity to launch indiscriminate attacks on the innocent civilian population in the east.
The Minister of National Defence will speak more to other achievements, but as important each of these victories is, they are only stepping stones on the way to ending, in a permanent way, the capacity of this regime to wage war against its own people. We must press on.
From the outset of this crisis in Libya, Canada has supported a swift and decisive international response to this crisis. Not only did we implement United Nations Security Council resolution 1970 quickly, but we extended it further under the Special Economic Measures Act, freezing regime assets, putting in place a travel ban on regime members, and an arms embargo.
We committed fully to the enforcement of the United Nations Security Council resolution 1973, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, an arms embargo, increased sanctions, and a no-fly zone to protect civilians.
Canada was among the first to call for the UN Security Council to refer the situation to the International Criminal Court and strongly supported the creation of an international commission of inquiry into violations of basic human rights.
The preliminary results of these inquiries have confirmed the seriousness of the crimes that are being committed. The report of the international commission of inquiry stated that these crimes are such as to indicate a policy directed by Gadhafi himself and his inner circle.
Colonel Gadhafi seeks to remain in power by committing crimes against the people. He needs to be stopped and he needs to be held accountable. He is a clear and present threat both to his people and to the stability of the region, including the emerging and promising democracies of Tunisia and Egypt.
I would note that Canada's end game is shared by our G8 partners as expressed at Deauville earlier this month. Canada's engagement has been the result of a concentrated whole of government effort. Abroad we have worked closely with international and regional partners, the League of Arab States, the African Union, and NATO partners and allies to press the regime to comply with its international obligation.
Canada has been a member of the Libya Contact Group since its inaugural meeting in Doha, Qatar in April. We participated in subsequent meetings in Rome and in Abu Dhabi last week where Canada was represented by my colleague, the associate minister of National Defence. The contact group is an organization of like-minded nations that is helping to provide leadership and to coordinate international efforts with regard to the future of Libya.
After three months of energetic diplomatic, military, and humanitarian engagement, the world's resolve to protect the civilians of Libya against attacks and threat of attacks from the Gadhafi regime, regrettably, has not faded. It is gaining momentum.
However, our work is far from over and so we must look at doing more in terms of humanitarian aid. We must continue our military assault on Gadhafi's command and control centres. We must also take a more robust and principled approach diplomatically if our mission is truly to succeed. Increasing our diplomatic efforts is what I would like to touch on here.
I am pleased to inform the House that Canada is embarking on an enhanced engagement strategy with the national transitional council of Libya, or NTC.
As part of this strategy, Canada will recognize the NTC as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people going forward. Our government will engage with institutions and representatives of the NTC. I will be seeking a meeting with my counterparts on the NTC, the vice-chairman and its ambassador to the United Nations. We will identify members of the NTC responsible for domestic issues and propose meetings with their Canadian counterparts.
We will also happily arrange meetings between NTC members and hon. members of this place. I know this was an engagement suggestion that was called on by my colleague in the Liberal Party, the member for Beauséjour.
We welcome the efforts of the national transitional council in defining core driving principles through its vision for a democratic Libya and its blueprint for building a post-Gadhafi Libya, the road map for Libya, outlining a transition process based on inclusiveness and based on balanced representation.
We will maintain an ongoing dialogue with the NTC to identify Libya's most pressing needs now and into the future. We will do all we can to link the NTC with Canadian expertise on governance and on civil society issues.
We hope this is the start of stronger ties between Canada and the Libyan people, and a brighter, better future for the country as a whole. The decision of this House to extend Canadian participation in the NATO mission should be accompanied by the steps outlined above, and more to come. By doing so, we will send a clear message that we are committed to fulfilling the United Nation's mandate and that we are willing to uphold our commitment to provide protection and assistance to those most vulnerable and to those most in need.
The Libya mission came out about in a unique set of circumstances. The threat to the civilian population, the threat of a massacre in Benghazi was real and imminent, coming from the mouths of the Libyan leaders themselves. The capability existed to intervene. Military assets were available and the geography made it possible. In regional terms, Libya represented and continues to represent a threat to the success of other nascent political openings in Tunisia, Egypt and elsewhere.
That is why the Arab League had called for action. It is why the international community, including Canada, was compelled to respond. The track record of the Gadhafi regime, of over 40 years of unpredictability and interference in the affairs of the states of Africa and the Middle East, was cause for real concern for the future.
Our strategy is clear. By applying steady and unrelenting military and diplomatic pressure, while also delivering humanitarian assistance, we can protect the civilian population, degrade the capabilities of the regime, and create the conditions for a genuine political opening. At the same time we can bolster the capacity of the Libyan opposition to meet the challenges of a post-Gadhafi Libya and to lay the foundations of a state based on the sovereignty of the people.
In conclusion, the government understands the genuine concerns of Canadians who oppose the use of lethal force and of turning to military action to resolve the problems of the international community. I believe this is an instinct that all Canadians share and is a credit to us all.
At the same time, we have a responsibility to act when we can, when our objectives are right, when our objectives are clear, to protect and to assist those who share the values and would share the institutions for which many of our ancestors gave up their lives so that we could enjoy the benefits.
Since the Libyan uprising began in February, the world community has borne witness to the tremendous courage, sacrifice and dignity of the Libyan people, and of their determination to open a new chapter in the history of their country. The Libyan people are desperate to secure a brighter future. To help secure this future, Canada must play its part.
Let us all strongly reaffirm today that Canada, along with the international community, stands in solidarity with the legitimate and irreversible aspirations of the Libyan people.

Re: Developing in RoR on Ubuntu 8.04
when copy/paste some code from html page to vi , sometimes indents looks bad.
there could be many causes for this, it's probably due to a setting in your ~/.vimrc file.
before you paste, try this in vim:
1. hit escape
2. then type ":set paste"
and now just paste into vim and the indenting should work.
if you'd like to leave paste mode on, permanently, add this to your ~/.vimrc:
set paste
and then source it and carry on using vim.
vim+rails.vim has some plugin to format it? (just like Eclipse Ctrl+shift+F :-) i am a java guy.
not sure what you mean there...do you want syntax highlighting? or are you just talking about the above indenting problem? i've never used Eclipse.

Syd Hoffman, 56, knows the secret to attaining age-defying vitality. Since celebrating her 50th birthday, the Phoenix, Ariz., resident has climbed both Mount Kilimanjaro and the Swiss Alps. In the past decade, she has built three successful businesses from the ground-up, authored a bestselling novel and competed in half-marathons on the side.
In other words, the couch is the last place you�ll find Syd Hoffman. But while she is now full of limitless energy, this wasn�t always the case. Not that long ago, Syd was a coffee-guzzling, sedentary mom burned out from the demands of a full-time career.
�If you would have told me at age 40 that I would feel this good at 56, I wouldn�t have believed you,� Syd says with a laugh.
Shortly after turning 40, Syd noticed that something was missing in her life. As the principal and owner of a private K-8 elementary school, she was constantly surrounded by energetic gaggles of young children while she struggled with sluggishness and feeling worn out.
�Watching the kids run around on the playground, I noticed how energetic they were,� Syd remembers. �I wanted to be more like them�more full of life. I felt older than my age.�
Syd knew she needed a change, so she started small. An occasional exerciser, she amped up her fitness routine and committed to working out five days a week. She eliminated coffee, soda and alcohol from her diet, sticking solely to water. Finally, she switched from eating three large meals to grazing on small meals throughout the day.
According to Syd, these small tweaks yielded a big payoff. Not only were Syd�s new habits benefiting her waistline��I lost 10, 15 pounds,� she says�but she revitalized her career, too.
�I was more awake, more alive. Once I started exercising, the school grew,� she says, adding that her vitality had a ripple effect that affected the entire school faculty. �Many of the teachers began to follow my example. They saw how much energy I had and were inspired to put their coffee down and go for a brisk walk with me instead.�
In July 2006, Syd retired from her job as an elementary school principal, sold the school�s six-acre campus, and used the money from the sale to embark on a journey around the world. At this time Syd�s daughter, Hillary, was leaving for college, and Syd, galvanized by her newfound energy, wanted to do something new and exciting for herself.
�I wanted to have an adventurous life,� she explains. �I had watched so many people wait until it was too late to travel or enjoy their hobbies.�
Syd set an audacious goal for herself: to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro by age 50. To physically prepare for the excursion, she trained vigorously for 18 months, lifting weights, running and doing yoga. In February 2007, Syd climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro along with 12 other women�an experience that was positively �life-changing.�
�It taught me so much about myself,� Syd says. �Now, when I am faced with challenges in my life, I feel like I have the resilience and strength to conquer them.�
She adds, �It�s amazing, because 10, 15 years ago, I would have never envisioned myself climbing a mountain. It�s never too late to start.�
In 2009, after returning from her adventures abroad, Syd fed her entrepreneurial spirit by opening a yoga studio: Joyful Yoga.
�I guess you could call me a serial entrepreneur,� Syd says with a laugh. �That�s one of my passions.�
At the yoga studio, clients would approach Syd and praise her seemingly inexhaustible energy. �They asked, �Where do you get your energy? How do you do it?�� Syd recalls. �I had always wanted to write a book, and that inspired me to do it.�
In her new book All Day Energy: 100 Ways to Boost Your Energy�Now! Syd shares her top strategies for erasing fatigue and achieving instant energy. The book demonstrates how small, daily changes can dramatically break the cycle of fatigue�no fancy supplements or energy drinks necessary.
And if anybody is qualified to parcel out advice on energy, it�s Syd Hoffman. Syd doesn�t plan on slowing down anytime soon. �I want to live life to the fullest. Everyday I wake up excited to try something new and to challenge myself,� she says. �I want to keep going for years and years to come.�
True to form, Syd has her sights set on bigger heights. Next up, she hopes to take on Machu Picchu. She says, �Maybe that will be my goal for age 60!�

Fall 2001
Volume 6 Number 1
Thank you very much for sending me the winter
2001 issue of inSpire. In "The Hopes and Fears of All the
Years", I found a picture of my beloved friend Gloria Yi, with whom I became friends when I studied at PTS—though I was only there for three weeks, because of my health circumstances. However, I will never forget the love and concern of the PTS family. I'm most thankful for
inSpire, which encourages me not to be discouraged in the service of the Lord, but to struggle with hope and let Christ be my hope.
I appreciate the field education internship assignments of PTS, and I'm also impressed with students like Craig Hunter and Gloria Yi who dedicated themselves and learned through field education in a place of refugees and military struggle. Their experience [in Israel] inspired me—that only Jesus Christ is the hope of the world.
May the Lord Jesus, the hope of the world, bless the students and every part of their internship. Thanks again for inspiration and joy with each issue of

Thank you so much for the Princeton Seminary Bulletin and for
inSpire. Living in Ecuador I don't have the best access to the latest books and journals, and I find the two publications very valuable—in spiritual and intellectual, as well as personal, ways. You sure know how to make us proud of being part of the Seminary and its ministry around the world.

Summers of Change: From Seminarian to Minister
I want to thank you for "Theology from the
Pew," the fine article by Leslie Dobbs-Allsopp. I, too, received from PTS the gift of a summer internship at Old Church in
Cumnock, Scotland. Working under the direction of the Reverend John Paterson made me a believer. Like Don Mossa, I left Princeton at the end of my middler year as a seminarian and returned a parish minister ready for a call. I will always be grateful to PTS for that gift and so much more.

Mackay's Ripple Effect
I enjoyed your article on Nancy
Schongalla-Bowman [winter 2001]. Did you know that I was the roommate who also kept my clothes in the kitchen cupboards? I have enjoyed swapping Tennent stories with one of my dearest friends in our church who also lived there—almost forty years before me. Bertha Murphy, one of our saints, was married to a student at Princeton in the early 1940s. She comes to pray with us every Sunday before we preach [in West Hills Presbyterian Church, Omaha, Nebraska]. I have passed on a number of issues of
inSpire to her, and she has enjoyed them.

Striving for Peace
I am a graduate of 1947 and 1953—and one of
"the disciples of John A. Mackay." My interest in Mackay led me to give a series of lectures in 1989 at the Union Evangelical Seminary in Buenos Aires on his life and ministry. Those lectures grew into a biography of Mackay, published in Spanish in 1991 and Portuguese in 1998.
My interest in Mackay, as well as my own background as a Presbyterian missionary in Latin America, has continued during the past decade as I've shared Mackay's story in a part of the world where his books are still highly valued. An example of interest in his writings is that in the past ten years four editions of the Spanish
El Otro Cristo Español (The Other Spanish Christ) have been published. The book first appeared in English in 1932.
In recent years I have worked with the library at Universidad Biblica Latinoamericana in San Jose, Costa Rica, to expand their Mackay collection. The seminary established an endowed chair in his honor about twenty years ago. The Mackay collection now includes a nearly complete collection of Mackay's writings, perhaps the best in the world after
Speer and Luce
To encourage scholarly research on the life and work of Mackay, my wife and I have established in the Costa Rica seminary an annual "John A. Mackay Award" for the best essay on his thought and service to the world church. The seminary has ten extension centers across Latin America whose libraries will soon also have collections of the writings of Mackay.

I recently reread your deliciously conceived column about the era of Dr. Einstein and his favorite tea cakes
["Princeton's Children and

The article on Miller Chapel
is indeed inspiring. Between two World Wars, I sometimes attended worship in the chapel and remember most clearly the visiting minister Kagawa. As a pastor on The
College of Wooster campus, I heard him again and had a good conversation with him. When he shook hands, his hand, like his voice, was soft. But he had a grip on the gospel and was impatient with what American Christians sometimes did with the Good News.
Except for Pearl Harbor day, the most memorable day for me, as for Manfried Geisler, during the war, was the weekday chapel service when Otto Piper told us of his son's death in battle, not far from where he had been born [see
things" in this issue of inSpire]. Never have I heard Scripture as he read it that day, one of Paul's triumphant passages—like Romans 8, which concludes "in all these things we are more than conquerors," or in I Corinthians 15, "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory." I marked that passage in a Bible since worn-out from use and laid aside, so I cannot recall the exact passage—only the indelible impression of a father who lost a son, able still to celebrate the resurrection.
Thank you for your gem of history.

Every time I receive a copy of inSpire or other Seminary material, I think of PTS again. Although I have learned many new things since leaving Princeton about Christian mission in postmodern North America, I have always valued the foundational education I received there. Perhaps the fact that I have been able to continue to learn from success and failure, and adapt to both academic and professional ministry in so many ways, is a tribute to the mentoring of many at Princeton. In particular I have always been grateful for the teaching and guidance I received from Professors Diogenes
Allen, Bruce Metzger, and Freda Gardner.I am one of these mobile people who never seems to return home, but the debt I carry is embedded in my lifestyle.

Why do we report the bad news?
There comes a time for every community newspaper when bad news happens. Not just bad news, as in property taxes are going up, but real human tragedy that is close, that is personal, that is anguishing.
When we report it, inevitably someone asks why we had to do that? Don't we know there are people suffering, who don't need to see that in the newspaper? Don't we care that we are causing them pain? How would we feel if our family was suffering like that?
That situation arose last week. The week earlier, we had reported that the Brown County Attorney's office had filed criminal charges in a pair of fatal accidents that happened earlier in the year.
On Monday, one of the young men who had been charged shot himself in a portable restroom in Riverside?Park. He died later in the day at North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale.
We reported that it had happened. Let me tell you why.
The answer is, it was news. That is the business we are in, the service we provide to our readers, to report the news, good and bad.
Our policy on reporting suicides is restrictive. We don't usually report when someone commits suicide, unless the act was committed in a public place, or the person who committed suicide is a person of note, someone who is in the news for some reason.
The reason we don't report most suicides is that years ago, a counselor told me that suicides, especially among young people, tend to run in strings. One person's suicide could influence someone else who was leaning that way to do the same. We decided to err on the side of not publicizing private suicides, in hopes of preventing others.
But public acts are different. Most of the time, people know before we do. We feel we owe it to our readers to provide the facts.
It isn't easy for us. To answer other questions, yes, we know that other people are hurting because of this act. Yes, we can surmise that the friends and families would rather not have that information publicized. We have to weigh that concern against our responsibility as a news organization, and when the need to report outweighs the privacy concerns of the family, it is a hard decision, one that is not lightly made.
We do not wish to add to the grief of family and friends in these situations. When we do, we are sorry for that pain.
As to how I would feel if I were in that situation? I honestly don't know. It's hard to imagine something like that if you haven't experienced it. As someone who is in the news business, I expect I would understand why it was reported, and if the situation were painful enough, I suppose I wouldn't care.
To the family and friends of Liam Kelly, I am sorry if our reporting added to your pain. Your tragedy affects us all.

Minimum wage hike a good thing
U.S. Rep. Tom Reed does himself and the many people who try to live on minimum wage a huge disservice by blindly following fellow Republicans. He follows their lead like a lost puppy because he has not the voice or the strength of mind to think for himself.
As this debate has taken shape Reed has carried the party line view once again simply because he wants to protect his own seat.
He has said he does not want to cost the economy jobs even though that is not the truth of the matter but spin he has put on the subject. He cites the Congressional Budget Office report saying that 500,000 full time jobs would be lost if the minimum wage was raised. But this is not what you think.
The CBO goes on to say that these people, (mostly women) would reduce their workday of their own accord because they could afford to live the same lifestyle on fewer hours. I say good! Now many women and men will be able to stay home more and be parents like they should and not have to work two or sometimes three jobs to support the family. But the most important thing that he missed was that the jobs are not predicted to be lost because of businesses laying people off but rather by the choice of the people actually making minimum wage.
Mr. Reed needs to make decisions based on fact and what is good for the state and nation. The benefits of raising the minimum wage far out weigh the negative effects.
Raising the minimum wage would reduce the number of people on public assistance, add billions to the GDP, and motivate people to work because of better pay that makes working more meaningful and motivating.
These are facts based on research and not someone's intuition or prediction. Yes, the price of products goes up slightly but not nearly as much as you might expect. Tom Reed might want to read some of the research and stop being a politician owned by special interest.
As a matter of fact when Bill Clinton was president the minimum wage was raised against the clamor of gloom and doom predictors saying it would cost jobs and ruin the economy.
It was shortly after we had the first federal budget surplus. Tom Reed, stop working for the special interest groups or get out.

Giovanni L.A. Hold Hair Spritz
Posted by Reviewer2098235 on Jun 14, 2009
This has a great scent and works great! I love this because it doesn't weigh down my fine, pin-straight hair! I'm hooked on ALL Giovanni products - Highly recommended! Thanks, IHERB, as always, you have the BEST prices and super fast shipping! :)
Good but can be better as well!
Posted by Supplementsdiy on Nov 17, 2013
It is hard (or impossible) to find a hair spray that is chemical free. This product does contain a few chemicals (the first few ingredients) that seem to be less toxic. At least the product is paraben, lauryl and laureth sulfate free. It does smell good though and free of chemical smell. I have soft and thin hair and find that it is not able to hold my hair well. It is best to use it in conjunction with a natural hair gel which seems to work. It is also easily to wash off, as compared to normal chemical hairspray. Check out my page for more reviews!
Giovanni, Spritz

good product. I love it!!
Posted by Reviewer1628805 on Nov 23, 2010
Too hard holding, dries with a wet look, very sticky feel. Flakes really bad - looks like nit eggs till you wash your hair LOL.
lets me use hairspray again
Posted by DesertRatonga on Oct 20, 2009
this is an awesome hairspray, i had kinda sworn off sprays as they have quite a few drawbacks, but this brand is totally different: no white flakes, no sticky fingers from touching you hair, doesn't make hair "crispy", smells nice, cool packaging. i will buy this repeatedly.
Does its work perfectly!
Posted by Reviewer29875314 on Jun 24, 2012
This is a Number 1 hair spritz for me. It does the best work, no stickiness , good hold, pleasant scent and I like packaging a lot! My hair is natural, not permed.

A good hairspray
Posted by NinaNystuen on Sep 19, 2013
Nice design, ok smell - and very good hold. Both my boyfriend and I use this, and we think it's great - in other words, it works on both long and short hair, and combined with other hairproducts. Easy spray-mechanism too. Very affordable and high quality hairspray!
Good hairspray
Posted by 4618051664073972893 on Feb 11, 2014
I don't know if I would call this MAXIMUM Hold, but it gets the job done. I really only need a couple of sprays to hold the sweep of my bangs and this does the trick. I was a long time user of another brand, but wanted to switch to something with less harsh chemicals. This is a good option. It helps hold the style, but don't spray too much at one time! My free advice is to spray one or two sprays, and if you need more hold then come back in a couple of minutes and spray again.
It's ok

Not as much hold as I hoped for

by John MacArthur
The secular first-century archetype of leadership was, of course, the Roman emperor. Every culture under Rome's influence was dominated by autocratic leaders and despotic leadership structures. Political rulers, military commanders, slave masters, heads of households, and even the priests and teachers of religion were all variations on the same theme. Authority was generally administered with an iron fist.
That domineering style ran through the chain of command from the emperor's office right down into the family unit. The typical Roman paterfamilias was a dictator in his own home, and family members were viewed as his chattel. If he chose to do so, he could sell his own children into slavery.
Israel in particular was oppressed by multiple layers of harsh and heavy-handed leadership. Some sixty-five years before the birth of Christ, Rome had conquered Judea. By the time of Christ's birth, the Roman Senate had named Herod the Great "King of the Jews," and for several generations after Christ the Herodian dynasty wielded power in Israel with efficient ruthlessness. The occupying Roman armies and Roman procurators (including Pontius Pilate) were likewise renowned for their brutal tyranny.
Even the Sanhedrin, the ruling council of the Jewish religion, commonly employed force and intimidation as the main tools of its leadership. The council was ruled by the high priest and heavily weighted with members of a priestly aristocracy who lorded it over people with threats of excommunication (John 9:22) or stoning (John 8:59; 10:31–33; Acts 23:12–14).
So it was highly significant and profoundly countercultural for the early church to revere the figure of a shepherd as the chief model of spiritual leadership. The word pastor means "shepherd," and it is laden with implications about how leadership in the church is supposed to function—contrary to all worldly patterns.
In Jesus' own words, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:25–28, emphasis added).
Indeed, the shepherd's task was the extreme antithesis of the harsh, tyrannical top-down style of a political dictatorship. In that part of the world especially, shepherding involved constant hands-on care from shepherd to sheep. Middle Eastern flocks (even today) aren't generally herded by dogs as in most Western sheep ranching; they are led by the shepherd. "He goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice" (John 10:4). Sometimes they are carried by him (Isaiah 40:11; Luke 15:4–5).
In other words, he leads by serving them, not by driving them.
Leadership in the church is not about raw authority administered by force. The fruits of true, Christlike leadership are humility, tenderness, self-sacrifice, and affection for the sheep. A good shepherd embodies what every leader in the church should strive to be: personal, patient, gentle, hands-on, and sacrificial—leading and feeding the flock and watching out for the welfare of the sheep, even to the point of giving his life for them if necessary (John 10:11).

My family observed a once thriving church fall apart because of this type of leadership. One minister was verbally assaulted at the board meeting by two elders AFTER he had resigned. It was the begining of the end for that congregation primarily due to tyrannical leadership which continued until no one but a few leaders were left. It is a shame that far too often leadership follows Roman emperors or the scribes and Pharisees and not out Lord Jesus Christ.

Our family just went through the devastation of having to leave our church because the Pastor became drunk with power and wanting to build a big church. His teaching started changing and saying that people need to obey and submit to him. He also started teaching on "tithing" quite often and saying the Lord told him to do certain things and tell the congregation certain things (i.e. get the CD on tithing). Many other grievious things we witnessed even to the point of lining himself up with false teachers on radio and TV programs. This type of leadership certainly does not portray our Great Shepherd and misrepresents God.

Our church also suffered from abusive and over zealous leadership (Some of our board members) . We are now several years past that. Our current board has made the proper changes to bring about a true Biblical pattern. It is such a joy now to serve on our board and work with men I love and enjoy so much. You can effect changes if you pray and stay the course. (Though it could take several years.) Patience is the key, and looking to Christ for His guidance and strength to be a change agent. Confidence in the Scriptures to know what to do is also needed. Our enemy does not have to have the victory in this. ....Harry
The leadership espoused in our culture and in cultures of the past is truly indicative of the sin nature in man. In our musings and actions we find that the natural course is adverse to the ways of God. On a logical scale it would make sense to most to lead the way Pharisees and Roman Emperors led. We truly know not what we do. How counterintuitive is it to go against our mode of thought and trust in the way the lord prescribes. All of Christian living provokes faith and trust in the word of God. Simply to lead absent of a servant spirit only suppresses your followers and furthers promotes an incorrect template for leadership. Those who follow will fall under a heretical concept and lead as they have been led. Many lessons can be learned from the past mistakes of leaders. To repeat the same mode of operation and expect to yield different results in asinine.
What a precious post thank you Pastor John. I thank the lord for His work in you and your commitment to Him. I am continually humbled by the Truth.

Gridwise Alliance commends state regulators for their efforts to ensure that care for privacy concerns is "baked in" to the smart grid in order to allow consumers to make meaningful choices about how their data is used and to otherwise respect consumers' privacy interests. The Alliance points out that the success of home‐energy management applications will depend on the development of a robust, workable policy framework for privacy protection.
The energy‐use data issues involved extend beyond the question of utilities sharing data gathered from smart meters with third parties. Utility sharing with third parties is an important issue, of course. However, consumer energy‐use data can and will be collected not only from smart meters, but from smart appliances, smart thermostats, plug‐in electric vehicles and more. Each additional point of data collection creates a potential privacy challenge by generating extra information about the lifestyle and habits of the individuals with whom it is associated.
Gridwise Alliance recommends that privacy concerns for energy‐use data be addressed by the application of Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs)1 and by encouraging utilities, service providers and other interested stakeholders to develop voluntary, enforceable codes to which all will subscribe and abide, based on FIP principles like transparency and choice.
