If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? 26Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 27What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 40He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 41He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

The signing of Asante Samuel was expected as early as Monday when the fifth-year pro arrived in Foxboro, but didn't occur until Tuesday. Samuel now has guaranteed himself a base salary of $7.79 million - the cost of the Franchise tag tender in 2007 for cornerbacks. In addition, Samuel also reportedly received a reprieve from receiving the Franchise Tag in 2008 if he participates in 75 percent of the defensive snaps this year.
For Samuel, the ability to get out of the Franchise tag in 2008 represents a significant victory. Samuel's only other option would be to hold out until week 10 of the season to force the team to move from it's original position of not relinquishing the right to franchise the veteran defender.
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was glad to have the team leader in interceptions last year back in camp.
"I'm glad he's here," Belichick said in his press conference. "I'm glad that we got things worked out. I'm looking forward to working with him."

Belichick knows that having Samuel back in camp dramatically improves the talent in the team's secondary.
"We drafted him four years ago and this will be his fifth year. He's been a very productive player for us."
Samuel was also pleased that both sides reached an agreement.
"I'm here," Samuel said yesterday. "Both sides made an agreement and both sides are happy. So if I'm here, I'm obviously happy."
Staying away until week 10 was an option for Samuel, but the lure of being back with the team for the start of the season - one that the team is the Super Bowl Favorite - was a big factor in his decision.
"I love my team. It's always been a great organization. It's always had great fans, great players, great coaches. We've been doing well since I've been here so I'm glad to be here and Id love to be here for the rest of my career.
The Patriots have been granted a roster exemption until September 10th for Samuel. The exemption allows the team to keep one extra player on the roster through both rounds of cut downs. The final roster cuts to the 53-player limit are due on Saturday.
Patrick Released
The New England Patriots released rookie offensive lineman Chris Patrick Tuesday. The 6-foot-4, 280-pound Nebraska product was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the New York Giants. The Patriots claimed Patrick off waivers on August 16, 2007 after New York waived him.
Patrick participated in the 2007 NFL Supplemental Draft, but was not selected.
Brown, Jackson and Jackson to PUP
The team also placed three players on reserve/PUP for the start of the regular season; WR Troy Brown, WR Chad Jackson and DB Eddie Jackson.
All three players will miss the first six weeks of the season. They are then free to begin practicing with the team within a limited window. Once a PUP player begins practicing, the team has another limited window to either activate him or place him on the reserve/injured list thereby ending his season.
Richardson to IR
|Mike Richardson watches practice at New England Patriots training camp August 2007 (Photo by Kevin Saleeba / PatriotsInsiders.com)
CB Mike Richardson was placed on the reserve/injured list Tuesday August 28, 2007 with a hand/wrist injury. The move ends the Notre Dame product's promising rookie season as Richardson will have to sit out the entire year.
Richardson had become more involved in the Patriots' lineup, playing with the first team defense for much of the game against the Carolina Panthers last Friday. His development at corner was impressive enough to move him ahead of fellow rookie Brandon Meriweather at the nickel position.
Richardson was selected by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft (202nd overall).MORE:

WASHINGTON – The ground-based system intended to shield the continental United States intercepted a simulated incoming missile over the Pacific Ocean for the first time Sunday, the Pentagon said.
The Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system, which is managed by Boeing and has a $40 billion price tag, aims to protect against long-range ballistic missiles from so-called rogue states such as North Korea and Iran.
The successful test followed the system's failure to hit a simulated missile in five of eight previous tests since former President George W. Bush's administration launched the program in 2004.
President Barack Obama's administration has announced it plans to spend about $1.3 billion on 14 more interceptors, but only if the closely watched test was successful.
The interceptor missile was fired from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and struck a dummy intermediate-range ballistic missile launched from the U.S. Army's Reagan Test Site on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

Shorba Soup
Recipe by Sageca
Soup is traditionaly the first course in an Algerian meal. It's specially good with some lemon juice.
Top Review by LoriInIndiana
I am a bit suprised how much I enjoyed this soup. I wasn't sure as to what to expect, but I am very glad I chose to make this for my part of the NA*ME challenge for ZWT 3. It is not something I would have probably been drawn to choose, but some times good things just come to you when you're not looking. I did forget to read through all the instructions first, so I added my canned chickpeas in step 1 as opposed to step 4, but no harm done really. I also cut back on the water about a cup's worth. Thanks so much for expanding my horizons with this one. = )

Pair of Jaspers Earn MAAC Weekly Awards
Gutenberger (Stony Point, N.Y./North Rockland) was named the MAAC's Offensive Player of the Week after scoring six goals and added an assist in Manhattan's 13-12 over Bucknell on Saturday afternoon. The senior leads all Manhattan scorers with 10 total points including nine games and currently ranks 10th in the country in goals per game (4.50) while being tied for 32nd in total goals.
Fiorinelli (Massapequa, N.Y./Massapequa) earned her first MAAC Rookie of the Week honors by setting a school record for freshman with 19 saves, including two in the final 90 seconds, to ensure her first career win with the Jaspers. Her 19 stops were one short of the program single-game record and gives her 22 on the year. Her 11 saves per game is tops in the conference in games played through Feb. 26.

Some time ago we faced some video format compatibility issues. After then I had a chat with Mark and he suggested from now on to accept only Mov files for video assets and Mov or Flv for video tutorials.
I could not find any evidence that this been publicly announced, but today I found. You can read here: http://wiki.envato.com/selling/selling-rejections/videohive-common-rejection-factors/ Especialy in Documentation section and in Non-Standard codecs section.
Also when tried to implement this in life and rejected few files for this reason I got some complaints from authors. Like why mp4 is not allowed for tutorials and why flv are not allowed for video assets. So i decided to bring this up for those who haven't noticed it yet. And also for those who want to suggest some other formats and hear Marks opinion and his reasons.
I hope we can discuss this and come up with standards that works for everyone (pc,mac,linux etc) and gain more understanding from authors that these standards are not there just because we wanted to make your life harder.
From now on to accept only Mov files for video assets and Mov or Flv for video tutorials.
What about Mp4 for video assets? Don't forget that there is also few % of authors that have low upload connections, i personaly have 128k, and uploading file 200-300mb can take few hours, afet clicking on Submit Page not found….What about that? Are we allowed to upload MP4 as asset?
To be honest, I've never had a problem with Quicktime for tutorials… or anything for that matter. At the end of the day, you'd expect people downloading templates to work with video to be using a pro video format as a matter of course.
However, Quicktime and Flash are both proprietary formats. They are owned and there is something to be said for having at least one open standard available to authors.
This isn't really a question of practicality, so much as being in the spirit of open standards.
MP4 is a fully tried and tested, cross-platform open-standard format. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have that on the list.
On the other hands, we're all selling files for use in a proprietary software, so maybe I'm overthinking it a bit. -f.
probably kid, ....
This wont affect us buyers, right?
Stay away from AVI and WMV .
Stay away from AVI and WMV .
Agree with that, but can someone confirm can we use MP4 for video assets?
I hope that mp4 would be on the list too.
Yes, sure, AVI and WMV could not be accepted. But I hope MP4 (as asset BUT also as Video Tutorial format) and FLV (as ASSET ) should be accepted. I'm like Miseld…. ("and uploading file 200-300mb can take few hours, afet clicking on Submit Page not found….What about that?")... and I have no time to waste with very long upload.

Planning to install overhead wiring to detached garage that is 35 feet from house, over completely fenced in yard. Garage has two outside lights, one outlet on inside wall. And ceiling outlet for garage door opener. So I plan only one 20 amp circuit.
I know that the overhead wire must be at least 10ft above ground level, and be supported. My question is (1) what wire type do I use for this overhead installation, and how many wires do I need? (2) can I connect to the load side of the nearby meter and install panel in garage? or connect to service panel in inside house?

Shop Local Flavor at Bourbon Barrel Foods
Using distillery discards, chef Matt Jamie is spicing things up in Louisville.
While working as a chef in Florida, Matt came up with the idea to make his own soy sauce. When he moved to Kentucky in 2005, he began creating his own sauces but added a twist—fermenting them in old Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels.
Now, in addition to his soy sauces, Matt makes marinades, vinaigrettes, and Worcestershire sauces, as well as bourbon-smoked sea salts, peppercorns, and paprika. His Bourbon Barrel Foods company started barreling along a couple of years ago when chefs such as Edward Lee of Magnolia 610 in Louisville and Sean Brock of Husk in Charleston, South Carolina, took to using his ingredients in their dishes.
While Matt also fashions some furniture from barrels (think barstools and tables), his sauces remain his bread and butter. Prices from $6. bourbonbarrelfoods.com
The Barrels: "By law, bourbon distillers can use their barrels only once. We reclaim them for use with our products, including our bourbon-smoked peppers, salts, and sugars."
The Ingredients: "For our soy sauce, we use Kentucky-grown soybeans, soft winter wheat, and limestone-filtered spring water—the same water that bourbon distillers use."
The Uses: "I put the soy sauce on sushi, noodles, asparagus, seared beef—just about everything. It's comfort food. And the paprika is great on popcorn with Parmesan cheese and melted butter."
The Philosophy: "Our motto is 'slow, small, and simple.' We have a dedicated base of customers, so I always want to take a hands-on approach."

the dealer is on every street corner but is unfortunately not "Charming" enough yet.
For old addicts with a PC, need a customization tool or reg tweak to restore Start button to where it always has been and should be and menus are alphabetical and hierarchical. Enough of the millennial fruit dope. Occupy Redmond until they surrender!
I think this is what you wanted.
Well since you asked, they have already started planning the Death Star.
M$ has had a thing about copying what Apple does. The sad thing about Windows 8 is going to be the marketing of it. I have noticed a tread of claiming that those who do like it are old and out of touch people who just do not get it. They are not hip or cool and must be shamed into silence. In the end no matter how bad it is it will sell because the puter manufactures will have no choice but to install it and promote it. Remember Vista sold hundreds of millions of copies simple by being the only thing M$ would allow manufacture to install. They did not get it right until they released SP2 and so many people suffered because of that. Sells of puters during Vista fell close to 25% which caused M$ to rush to strip it, fix the problems and rename it Windows 7.
In the end the only thing I care about is will they allow us to disable Metro. I keep reading that we will be able to turn it off but that is not the same as disabling it. If those who wish can go to services and completely disable it and boot right to what they are claiming is a Windows 7 like environment will be a good thing. I doubt that will happen but I can still have hope for a little common sense to take hold.
other than the question, "cnet, when will a W8 forum start?" I haven't understood anything of the posts in this thread.
To answer your question, probably not yet and not until retail versions are available.
If anyone is running the beta version, (or called the Consumer Preview), they have the option to contact Microsoft themselves with bugs and problems during the testing.
This was posted a couple of days ago and the writer expresses his opinion very well. The best part about this article is where he describes the Metro screen.
" Calling the above "ugly" isn't fair. It's not ugly. It's what happens when Ugly and Stupid get drunk and make a baby inside Fukushima's minimum safety perimeter. "
i have read the article and that man has really good point.

Travel Picks: Top 10 places to spend Christmas
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Whether your ideal Christmas is about snow and magical lights or a beach and a seasonal cocktail, travel website travelandleisure.com has come up with a list of 10 of the best places to spend Christmas.
This list was compiled by editors at travelandleisure (www.travelandleisure.com). It is not endorsed by Reuters:
1. Taos, New Mexico, United States
This remote village on a high desert plain is especially magical at Christmas due its rich mix of cultural traditions. Don't miss historic Ledoux Street all lit up with luminarias or paper lanterns, the ceremonial re-enactments of Mary and Joseph's search for shelter, and the dramatic American Indian Christmas Eve celebration that takes over the main square in Taos Pueblo. Plus, you can ski all day on Christmas Day at Taos Ski Resort.
2. San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
The Spanish colonial gem and cultural hot spot in central Mexico is electric at Christmas, with theatrical processions around town, numerous nativity re-enactments, and fireworks, live music, and dancing in the main square, El Jardin. Don't miss a taste of ponche, a kind of Mexican hot toddy made of fruits and brandy, or the sweet bread rosca de reyes, both Christmas specialties.
3. Tromso, Norway
The snowy city island of Tromso offers unparalleled views of the Northern Lights and a chance to say you've been to the North Pole -- well, the Arctic Circle, anyway -- for Christmas. Plus, there's dogsledding, great food, and a mountaintop cable car.
4. Key West, Florida, United States Continued...

Small business agony uncle James Caan gives tips on how to grow a business.
Dear James:
I want to start my own online business. I've been thinking about it for a while now but I've decided 2013 is my year! I am at the very beginning of my journey and I haven't even written a business plan. How do I write a business plan? - James Smith
James says:
James, I'm pleased to hear you are embarking on a new business in 2013. I'm sure there are many people who are thinking about doing the same.
I've seen a huge amount of business plans in my time - the good, the bad and the downright awful - and it never ceases to amaze me how so many people ignore the basic principles.
Firstly, your business plan is crucial to your success so you have something to follow when business starts to get busy. Logging your ideas and plans for the business at the beginning allows you to look over it in the future.
The best place to start is by looking at other business plans. There are many free resources online and you should be able to find a template to get you started.
Objectives of the business need to be outlined and any problems you foresee need to be highlighted. You will need to think about how you are funding the business and how the money will be distributed across the product or service, sales and marketing, overheads and salary.
I would also recommend a section to outline your competitors and what they are currently doing. You can find out more about what other sections you can include in your business plan on the gov.uk website.
When you write your business plan think of it as a story, take yourself through the journey of the business. It will make it more engaging, and underline what you are able to deliver. Focus on a problem and how you can solve it with the minimum of fuss and disruption.
Give yourself time; a business plan should never be thrown together at the last-minute as an afterthought; it should be prepared in detail. Too often people don't spend enough time on the business plan and wish they did later down the line.
Know your business plan like the back of your hand; further down the line you may want to present it to potential investors. One of the worst things that can happen is getting caught out on details. Check, double-check and then check again for any discrepancies. Knowing how to sell yourself and your business can make all the difference between success and failure.

Shelter Board Meets, Will Not Re-hire Citrullo
Three weeks after the immediate resignation of Bob Citrullo as Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter Executive Director, the search for his replacement is picking up.
The shelter board met Tuesday and discussed the executive director's position, as well as ongoing operations.
During the meeting, Board member Joan Allen expressed a desire to pursue re-hiring Citrullo. Allen praised his work while he was here and said she felt any issues that do or did exist between he and the board could be worked out.
However, the other board members disagreed. Board member Michelle Jamieson noted that he chose to leave. In addition, she said that if issues with the board or perceived board interference caused him to leave, she did not feel that could be worked out.
In his resignation, Citrullo did not state a reason for leaving.
A motion not to re-hire Citrullo was made and approved by the board, with Allen the lone vote against that motion.
The board then stressed the need to move forward with advertising the position.
Last month, the board voted to begin the search for a new director and Shelter Board Chair Harold Andrews said they would begin that search in the immediate future.
However, Andrews said the board waited to advertise the position in order to take care of other things first.
"It was put off in order to organize," said Andrews. "We have some volunteers who are filling in all the holes and quite successfully, I might add, to give us a chance to regroup and really determine what we want in a director."
The board also discussed a number of operational issues during the meeting.
Concerns were raised about organizing check writing and invoice payments better, as well as streamlining the adoption process and improving response to animal control calls.
Andrews said that overall, he feels the shelter operation is running well.
"We do have certain issues that need more attention, but I think in our evolutionary process, we are progressing about as well as any shelter would progress at our stage and age and development," said Andrews. "I think we are doing quite well."
The board noted that animal control staff has been operating short-handed and a new hire was made in order to help alleviate that issue. Board members also said they would continue to work on the other issues that were raised.
Andrews praised the work of the shelter staff and volunteers, saying that they are doing a wonderful job.
As for hiring a new director, Andrews said the goal would be to have one in place by sometime in July.
Meanwhile, the shelter board announced that it had adopted its 100th animal since the new shelter opened in February. The old shelter only adopted 56 animals in all of 2012.

MADRID – Twenty-five years ago, at a summit in Rejkjavik, Iceland, US President Ronald Reagan stunned the world and his Soviet counterpart, Mikhail Gorbachev, by proposing global and comprehensive elimination of all nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the skepticism of the United States' defense establishment, together with Reagan's adamant refusal to abandon his Strategic Defense Initiative nipped this bold move in the bud.
That was a tragic missed opportunity, for a US-Soviet agreement, reached in what was still an essentially binary international system, might have had truly global meaning. Although US and Russian stockpiles still account for more than 90% of the world's nuclear warheads, US President Barack Obama's disarmament goal, Global Zero, is proving far harder to accomplish now, given how much the world has changed since the Cold War's end.
Not only has the number of nuclear states increased, but the so-called "nuclear renaissance" – the revival of nuclear power, owing to rising oil prices and environmental concerns – has put nuclear technologies into growing use. This revival holds important implications for nuclear proliferation.
More importantly, China, India, Pakistan, Iran, and Israel might not be particularly impressed by Russian and American assumptions that they can meet their defense needs with far smaller nuclear arsenals. Nuclear disarmament must therefore focus not only on a truly total elimination of stockpiles by the major powers, but also on regional powers' concerns. Global Zero must go hand in hand with a robust strategy of conflict resolution and confidence-building in trouble spots such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

So I guess I'll start a new build thread from my previous build threat on another forum which seems to have no activity.
So a few weeks back I purchased a 2006 WRX Limited with 109k on the od. My original intentions for the vehicle was to build it up and give it to my brother when he comes back from Afghan. However, things do change. A year back I made an inquiry about running in the 2012 Bullrun, however at the time of my inquiry it was too late and the race was full. Few days ago, we received a letter in the mail about running in the 2013.... my fiancee and I jumped all over the opportunity to do something special seeing that my 30th is just the corner. What not better way to celebrate the big 30 by driving from Montreal to New Orleans with some of the biggest and baddest cars on the road and partying like a rockstar?
Now, you may ask why in gods name would I try and compete in the bullrun with a WRX? I said why not do something unique and fun. So I reached out and contacted a Akuma Motorsports out of NJ. We came up with a few scenarios but this seems to be the most fun. I am all about doing things different. So here goes nothing.... a little about my build.
Rather then going with your traditional coilover suspension I'll be running an Air Lift Performance setup... functions and handles like a KW V2.
So the kit ill be running is a the digital combo kit which can be found here : Subaru Impreza/ WRX 2002-2007 | Air Lift Performance
As for wheels I'll be running a set of ADV1 05 DC in a matte black in an 18x10 +35 offset. Here is a set of the wheels....
We recently took a trip up to concord mass and have NHwraps take a peak and spec the car for any paint damage before ordering out new wrap... We are goin to go with a Matte Metallic Purple.... with matte black lettering for our sponsors for the ride....
The wheels and color of paint can be see here :
So on the wrxtuners threat people asked me all sorts questions about the build it took a few days but here is how the motor will be build. Now Akuma Motorsports will be responsible for all aspects of the build... so what I'll do is copy and paste my build see so you can all clearly see how this motor is being built.
So the modification is as follows.
PPG 1st-4th straight dog cut gears
COS-SUB-LBK-0... Subaru EJ25 (2.5L) 2004-2006 w/ Big Valve Cylinder
heads and KK3766 Cams-STD Crank 8.2:1cr

Melbourne, Dec 21 (UNI) Spin wizard Shane Warne has sounded warning bells to the Oz, not to take the ageing Indian batting greats including master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, lightly or it might backfire on them.
Warne has has paid glowing encomium to Tendulkar by giving him the top spot in his list of great players, ahead of another legend West Indian Brian Lara.
''He is the best batsman I have played either with or against.
''You never write off a great player. I don't believe just because he is getting old, he is finished. A lot of these players are old, they know their game, they know how to prepare,'' Warne said.
''Given the conditions in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide are going to be pretty flat, I expect Sachin to get a lot of runs.
''Obviously, he is not as good as he was in the mid-1990s, but he is a great. There's a difference between a good player and a great.
He is one of the all-time great players to ever play the game and he still is a very, very good player,'' he added.
The 38-year-old said, ''When you get the great players, you just don't write them off. They might not do anything as easy, but they still have a few good innings left in them. And if he has got the drive and the passion and wants to do it, he will do it. ''There is no doubt he will play one or two special innings in this Test match series. Absolutely no doubt, he will play a couple of unbelievable, breathtaking innings.'' It is important to get the Indian batting stars out, Warne said, otherwise they will hurt you later in the match. The tweaker also maintains that the Aussies failed to do precisely this under the Buchanan era.
''The great players, you have to try to get them out, you can't just bore them out.
''That's what I believe was wrong with part of our tactics under John Buchanan and Steve Waugh -- they wanted to bowl wide of off stump and pack the off side. You just can't bowl to the great players like that.
''You have got to try to get them out otherwise they will bat all day. That's what happened early on in India. I was so against those tactics.'' Maintaining in the same breath that the visitors, including Tendulkar, should expect a barrage of chin music, though warned the host against overdoing it.
''I think (with) the majority of the Indian players, you are not going to overdo the short ball, but there is going to be a lot of short-pitched bowling at the Indians on our wickets. That's not just to Sachin,'' Warne told the 'Herald Sun'.
When asked about India's chances in the four match Test series starting on December 26, Warne heaped praises on India's batting line up saying, ''The Indians' batting is their strength. They haven't done that well in Australia generally, except on their last tour.
''I think where the Test matches are played will suit them. Two of the Tests are in Sydney and Adelaide -- they are spinning wickets. They will go in with two spinners, and the wickets will help their batting. It will help their quicks such as Zaheer Khan, with reverse swing in Sydney and Adelaide.
''Melbourne has been very, very benign and very, very flat. If you don't take wickets with the new ball, you are in a for a long day in the field.'' Interestingly, Warne was not so forthcoming in his view about India's bowling strength and said, ''I think that will be down to (Anil) Kumble and Harbhajan (Singh). I think it's going to be a pretty good series after Sri Lanka, which was pretty poor.
Praising the new Indian captain Warne said, ''He is one of the gentlemen of the game. He is one of the nicest blokes you will ever meet, but he is also one of the most competitive players going around in that Indian side.
''He is very, very competitive and I think he will make a great captain. It will also be interesting to see how our players play Anil. They generally play him pretty well,'' Warne opined.

Casa editrice: Nuremberg Anton Koberger 30 July, 1477
Data di pubblicazione: 1477
Legatura: Hardcover
Edizione: 1st Edition
Very Early Printing of the Bible and only the second Latin Bible printed by Koberger, 51 lines and headline, double column, canon marginalia in the Gospels. With manuscript headlines in red, a beautiful opening initial of 10 lines with elaborate flourishes that flow from the very top to very bottom of the page in red, blue and green, numerous 6 line initials in red and blue, some with much longer extensions or flourishes, a profusion of 3 line initials in red or blue, red paragraph marks and additional rubricating throughout primarily in red. Royal folio (375 x 265mm approx), in contemporary German blind-stamped pigskin over thick wood boards, (probably a Nuremberg binding), the boards center-paneled and decorated in blind with a central tool within multiple borders, remnants of brass catches on the fore-edge. Manuscript lettering to the spine with wide tall bands. 468 leaves, complete. An unusually fine copy, especially well preserved and very handsome indeed. An important copy with full contemporary binding intact, and in great likelihood coming directly from Kobergers workshop. A RARE AND EXTREMELY HANDSOME COPY, ESPECIALLY WELL PRESERVED. THIS BOOK REPRESENTS ONLY THE SECOND TIME THAT KOBERGER PRINTED THE LATIN BIBLE. This printing was issued in the second year after the first printing of 1475. Anton Koberger was for a number of years the leading publisher/printer of his time. The total list of his printings for the forty years from 1473 to 1513, when he died, comprises no less than two-hundred and thirty-six separate works, including fifteen impressions of the Biblia Latina, eight of which presented material differences of notes and commentaries which entitled them to be considered as distinct editions. "In the actual number of separate works issued, Koberger was possibly equaled by one or more of his contemporaries, but in respect to literary importance and costliness, and in the beauty and excellence of the typography, the Koberger publications were not equaled by any books of the time excepting the issues of Aldus in Venice" (Putnam II, p. 150). This printing of Kobergers Latin Bible was printed again in1478 and is largely based on the Fust and Schoeffer edition of 1462. The tractate of Menardus is included which is a summary of the books of the Bible with a guide on how to best study them. It was first printed not after 1474. A beautiful example of the magnificent productions during the first generation of printed Bibles, the state of preservation and the impressive German binding making it all the more so.

Afghan govt asks for headscarves, less make-up on TV
By Amie Ferris-Rotman
KABUL (Reuters) - An Afghan government request that female television presenters don headscarves and avoid heavy make-up angered journalists on Tuesday, who said the move was proof authorities expected the Taliban to regain a share of power.
Afghan and U.S. officials have been seeking peace negotiations with the Islamist group ousted over a decade ago as a means to ensure stability after foreign combat troops leave, though the talks are in a very fragile state.
In a letter distributed to media, the Ministry of Culture and Information said it had received complaints from members of parliament and families that female news presenters were not observing Islamic and cultural ethics.
"All female news presenters must avoid heavy make-up and wear a headscarf," Minister Sayed Makhdoom Rahin told Reuters by telephone, adding this applied to state and private TV stations.
The ministry's plea came as a surprise to some Afghan media. All female anchors appear with their heads covered, sparking suggestions the directive was designed to impress the Taliban by pandering to their ultra-conservative views.
"Since we are at the beginning of serious peace and reconciliation talks, the government wants to show they are like the Taliban," said Zarghoona Roshan, a radio journalist for 10 years before she joined media development group Nai.
"The request itself is useless," Roshan added, adjusting her two-toned black and grey headscarf. Nai, which also tracks media infringements, estimates there are around 120 female TV presenters across the country.
Nai's executive director Abdul Mujeeb Khalvatgar said the government had been piling pressure over the past year to restrict content and "keep the public away from the facts they need. Continued...

2013 Honda Accord, Civic, Fit & CR-V Receive "Best Resale Value" Honors from Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. received 6 Best Resale Value Awards from trusted vehicle valuation source Kelley Blue Book Official Kelley Blue Book New Car and Used Car Prices and Values. The all-new 2013 Honda Accord, the restyled 2013 Honda Civic and Civic Si, as well as the 2013 Honda Fit each earned awards in their respective segments for projected resale value after 5 years of ownership. Additionally, the 2013 Honda Civic and 2013 Honda CR-V were both honored as 2 of the overall Top 10 Best Resale Value vehicles in America this year.
2013 Honda Vehicles Honored with Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards"Honda vehicles are engineered to provide a fun-to-drive experience as well as overall value for the money," said Michael Accavitti, vice president of national marketing operations at American Honda. "With a continued focus on quality, fuel-efficiency and premium content, we have always believed that a Honda provides every buyer with added value, and we are honored to be recognized for our efforts by valuation leader Kelley Blue Book."
Kelley Blue Book's Best Resale Value Awards are based on projections from the Kelley Blue Book® Official Residual Value Guide, determined by a skilled staff of automotive analysts. These prestigious awards honor vehicles expected to maintain the greatest proportion of their original Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) after 5 years of ownership. Since depreciation (or loss of value) is typically a car buyer's primary expense during ownership, these awards are designed to help consumers make more informed car-buying decisions.
"Honda's dominance in multiple car segments is evidenced by its class-leading wins in 4 segments," said Eric Ibara, director of residual consulting, Kelley Blue Book. "Based on our projections, no other car in the mid-size car segment can beat the 2013 Accord when it comes to resale value. 2013 Honda vehicles also took top honors in several very hotly contested segments, and they're not flukes. With many repeat winners and perennial favorites, the Honda brand continues to produce quality vehicles that return value to their owners, both during the ownership period and upon resale."
Kelley Blue Book established its annual Best Resale Value Awards in 2003. The company reports projections based on current vehicle data, relevant auction transactions, sales data, market conditions for each vehicle, competition within vehicle segments, expectations of the future economy and the combined experience of Kelley Blue Book's residual analysts. Residual values reflect projected future auction values for vehicles in average condition with 75,000 miles at the end of a 5-year lease or ownership period.

1 brand from each of the Detroit automakers today were announced as winners of Kelley Blue Books 2013 Brand Image Awards.
The awards, based on an entire years worth of consumer perception data from the companys Brand Watch study, honor the automotive brands that have most successfully captured positive consumer attention.
For the Detroit 3, Chrysler was named the 2013 Most Refined Brand; Ford Motors Co.'s namesake brand was awarded Best Car Styling Brand; and General Motors Co.s Buick brand was named Best Value Luxury Brand.
With standout vehicle lineups and positive consumer perception confirmed by empirical study, the winners of Kelley Blue Books 2013 Brand Image Awards have secured enviable positions in the minds of car buyers, said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Books KBB.com, in a statement.
Overall, the Honda brand took 3 of the 13 top honors, which are based an online brand and model perception tracking study tapping into more than 12,000 in-market new-vehicle shoppers annually on KBB.com
Honda was named the Best Overall Brand by non-luxury shoppers, Most Trusted Brand for the 2nd year in a row and the Best Value Brand for the 3rd consecutive year.
According to officials, Honda receiving consecutive awards in key categories like underscores that the positive attributes of the Honda brand continue to resonate with the new-car buying public.
We admire the refined and reliable vehicles, but also the manner in which Honda promotes itself, according to KBB. You do too, apparently.
Porsche was the only other auto brand to grab more than 1 award, winning "Best Performance" and "Car Styling" for luxury brands. Other award winners and some comments from KBB included:
2013 Porsche - Best Performance Luxury Brand
KBB.com Announces 2014 5 Year Cost to Own Award winners
The 2014 model-year vehicles and brands (in both non-luxury and luxury categories) with the lowest projected ownership costs were announced today by Kelley Blue Book Official Kelley Blue Book New Car and Used Car Prices and Values, the leading provider of new and used car information. These awards are based on Kelley Blue Book's 5-Year Cost to Own data for new cars for the initial 5-year ownership period.
While depreciation (or loss of value) and fuel costs may be the greatest expense incurred in owning a vehicle, there are other factors that can have a significant impact on a consumer's pocketbook. Available on Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com, 5-Year Cost to Own information takes into consideration depreciation, expected fuel costs, finance and insurance fees, maintenance and repair costs, and state fees for new models.
Kelley Blue Book's 5-Year Cost to Own Awards, like all new- and used-car information provided by KBB.com, exist to help shoppers make more informed new-car buying decisions by breaking down typical ownership cost details and naming the brands and models with the lowest projected five-year total.
2014 5-YEAR COST TO OWN AWARD: BRAND MAZDA(2014 model-year vehicle's projected ownership costs are based on the average Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own data for the initial five-year ownership period).
"**New-car shoppers naturally want to know how much a car will cost upfront; however, sometimes an even more expensive car can actually save you money during the 1st 5 years of ownership," said Dan Ingle, vice president of vehicle valuations for Kelley Blue Book. "Kelley Blue Book's 5-Year Cost to Own information evaluates the other out-of-pocket expenses drivers will incur, which helps consumers choose the vehicle that fits them and their wallets best, helping save money down the road."
Based on analysis of Kelley Blue Book's 5-Year Cost to Own information for 2014 model-year new vehicles, Mazda and Lexus are the prestigious brand winners for the second consecutive year. In addition to a low average Fair Purchase Price and strong residual values across its full model lineup, Mazda is ranked among the lowest in fuel and insurance costs, making it the 2014 5-Year Cost to Own: Best Brand among all automakers. Kelley Blue Book® Fair Purchase Price is the price shoppers typically pay a dealer for a new car, based on actual new-car transactions and adjusted regularly as market conditions change. Some of the models driving Mazda's success include the MAZDA3, MAZDA6 and CX-5. Despite an average Fair Purchase Price higher than several of its competitors, Lexus offers the lowest depreciation cost of any eligible luxury brand, thanks to strong residual values across its full model lineup. Lexus also ranks lowest in repairs and is among the lowest in fuel and insurance costs. Some of the key models contributing to Lexus' stand-out performance include the ES, IS and RX models.
Another notable 5-Year Cost to Own Award win includes the 2014 Buick Encore, which is this year's 5-Year Cost to Own: Luxury Compact SUV/Crossover category winner. The Encore beat out the Acura RDX and BMW X3 in all categories except maintenance and repairs. Encore offers depreciation costs 35.7 percent lower than RDX and an impressive 63.7 percent lower than X3. In addition, this year's 5-Year Cost to Own: Plug-In Vehicle category winner, the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV, bests the Chevrolet Volt and Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid in nearly all ownership factors. Spark EV not only offers the lowest state fees, but also the lowest insurance, outperforming Volt by 50.5 percent and is 22.6 percent lower than Accord Plug-In Hybrid.
Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own information is developed using Kelley Blue Book® Residual Values to calculate depreciation costs. Kelley Blue Book calculates total ownership costs for new vehicles by applying a sophisticated valuation methodology along with critical financial data from third-party providers.

Who Leads In Mobile Banking: Forrester Ranks 15 Banks Around The World
Posted by Peter Wannemacher on April 25, 2013
- 550 Recommendations
- 6 comments
Mobile banking success is a moving target: Customers needs and expectations are changing rapidly, and eBusiness teams at banks are sprinting to get ahead of their customers' expectations. To achieve this, firms are rolling out new features, optimizing existing services, and enhancing mobile experiences.
To understand which firms are leading in mobile banking — and to better gauge the mobile banking landscape overall — we used our Mobile Banking Functionality Benchmark to evaluate and rank the mobile banking efforts of 15 of the largest banks in North America, Western Europe, and Australia.
Our findings across all the banks we evaluated can be found in our 2013 Global Mobile Banking Functionality Rankings. We've also published two additional reports looking at the banks we reviewed in the UK and the US: 2013 UK Mobile Banking Functionality Rankings and 2013 US Mobile Banking Functionality Rankings
Highlights of this research include these findings:
- Chase takes the top spot overall. Chase received the highest overall score among the banks we evaluated, netting a score of 71 out of 100. The bank offers mobile banking services across a range of touchpoints ranging from smartphone apps, strong mobile websites, and two-way SMS. In addition, Chase also has strong mobile money movement features such as bill pay – including the ability to add a payee – and mobile transfer capabilities.
- La Caixa is the leader in Europe. With a score of 67, la Caixa received the highest score among the eight European banks we assessed — and landed in second place among the 15 banks we ranked worldwide. The bank excels at offering convenient experiences for common mobile banking activities. For example, La Caixa lets mobile bankers customize the landing screen on its iPhone app (see below).
- Banks in the US and Canada score well in general. Although they haven't quite matched the achievements of Chase, the digital banking teams at Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citibank, and RBC have also built impressive mobile banking services that offer their customers extensive functionality on a wide range of devices.
- UK banks lag behind. Strikingly, the UK's banks — which were slow to take mobile banking seriously and late to launch mobile banking services for smartphones — have not yet caught up from their late start. The mobile banking services from the UK's banks are notably less advanced than those offered by banks in North America and elsewhere in Europe. The best of the UK's banks, NatWest, scored slightly above the average for the 15 banks overall.
We encourage you to read the reports and let us know your thoughts!

Comment from rajesh parmar (not verified) on Sat, 04/27/2013 - 04:15
I would like to comment that while no emerging market banks feature highly on here, my company for example works with leading banks in Nigeria where my belief is the embrace towards mobile and technology is more in "tune".
While La Caixa features highly i dont quite think it matches reality vs consumer engagement. Having lots of APPS does not mean anything. Spain needs to be innovative bearing in mind the economic crisis and i have lived in Barcelona for 7 years plus where many still "Top Up" their mobiles via pre paid cards...
American Banks SHOULD rank highest, as its in line with the US being ahead of the consumer curve in Mobile engagement and its just based on the reality of time and development,
In time Africa will takeover - EG. Where did Mpesa come from? ...
re: mobile banking
Comment from Peter Wannemacher on Wed, 05/01/2013 - 09:03
Thanks for your comment Rajesh!
I cannot speak in detail about La Caixa's individual score since another analyst reviewed that bank, but I would like to take a moment to respond to your other comments.
First and foremost, I think you are right that there are some amazing, leading-edge mobile initiatives coming out of banks in emerging countries. Part of the reason we chose to focus on North American, European, and Asia-Pacific banks is that these markets share many similarities (and are distinct in many ways from emerging markets). So the lack of emerging market banks here is a result of that thinking.
I also think you're correct that US banks "should" lead. It's also worth noting that these same US banks are doing "battle" with customer expectations that are often higher than the expectations of customers in other regions.
As far as the African "takeover" you reference, our vision is a lot more complicated than that, but I do firmly believe that digital banking teams in the US, Canada, UK, Europe, and Asia-Pac can learn a LOT from mobile banking efforts in Africa, Latin America, and other emerging markets.
I don't think that the
Comment from Nikhil Datar (not verified) on Sun, 04/28/2013 - 07:25
I don't think that the quality of experience in Chase is best by any standard. I can say this because I am a customer of these banks and find it difficult. I assume this ranking is based on functionality available and not the quality of experience.
You are correct that Chase's
Comment from Peter Wannemacher on Wed, 05/01/2013 - 08:53
You are correct that Chase's score is driven more by scores for its features and functionality than by its score in our "usability" category. That said, I want to clarify that this review and ranking is based on both mobile banking features and mobile bankers' experiences when using these features.
Make sense?
one last thing
Comment from Peter Wannemacher on Wed, 05/01/2013 - 09:04
Nikhil - I forgot to say thank you for your comment, always great to know that our blogs are being read and reacted to!
Comment from Ted Kitts (not verified) on Wed, 06/19/2013 - 13:02
Interesting article and data. I stumbled across this new company/program and will be very interested to see how the handle the mobile banking space. Off hand, it looks like they rank and certify mobile banking apps based on security, performance and user experience.
Seems like they are still in the early stages, but they clearly have a market to play in with the growing adoption of mobile banking apps.

MONTREAL, April 8, 2014 — As part of its ongoing commitment to open standards architecture, Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, today announced a partnership with UK-based Marquis Broadcast to expand the functionality and capability of its GV STRATUS Nonlinear Media Production toolset and the K2 Summit media server. Grass Valley will incorporate Marquis' MEWS API services to enable the quick and easy exchange of files between GV STRATUS and Avid solutions, as well as other third-party products.

Creeping Through Ross Ulbricht's Bookmarks
Ross Ulbricht, the alleged creator of the Silk Road, was denied bail yesterday. Prosecutors also released additional evidence against Ulbricht. The big headline was the allegation that Ulbricht has ordered as many as 6 murders, up from the previously alleged 2.
Ulbricht, for his part, maintains that he is not Dread Pirate Roberts, the founder of the Silk Road, but prosecutors say that he was logged in as DPR when he was arrested in a San Francisco Public library. They released screenshots from that computer.
Of course, whenever I see a screenshot of anyone's computer, my (moderately creepy) impulse is to scan their toolbar to see what they've got bookmarked.
The link that jumped out to me on Ulbricht's browser was to an article called "The Science of Stylometry." I'm pretty sure this is the article it's referring to.
Stylometry is the technique that allows scientists to scan your writing for the tics and particularities that make it identifiably yours. Stylometry was used to out Joe Klein as the anonymous author of Primary Colors. Assuming Ulbricht was Dread Pirate Roberts, it would make sense that he'd be worried that his writing style could give him away. DPR was outspoken and prone to diatribes, as was Ulbricht (cf. his LinkedIn essay.)
PS. One other tiny thing I noticed is that Ulbricht uses DuckDuckGo, the privacy-first search engine that my colleague Chris Neary reported about awhile back. Chris made the On the Media production staff try DuckDuckGo for a week, which drove some of us insane.
