In 1957 Ernst Kantorowicz published a book that would be the guide for generations of scholars through the arcane mysteries of medieval political theology. In The King's Two Bodies, Kantorowicz traces the historical problem posed by the "King's two bodies"--the body politic and the body natural--back to the Middle Ages and demonstrates, by placing the concept in its proper setting of medieval thought and political theory, how the early-modern Western monarchies gradually began to develop a "political theology."
The king's natural body has physical attributes, suffers, and dies, naturally, as do all humans; but the king's other body, the spiritual body, transcends the earthly and serves as a symbol of his office as majesty with the divine right to rule. The notion of the two bodies allowed for the continuity of monarchy even when the monarch died, as summed up in the formulation "The king is dead. Long live the king."
Bringing together liturgical works, images, and polemical material, The King's Two Bodies explores the long Christian past behind this "political theology." It provides a subtle history of how commonwealths developed symbolic means for establishing their sovereignty and, with such means, began to establish early forms of the nation-state.
Kantorowicz fled Nazi Germany in 1938, after refusing to sign a Nazi loyalty oath, and settled in the United States. While teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, he once again refused to sign an oath of allegiance, this one designed to identify Communist Party sympathizers. He resigned as a result of the controversy and moved to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where he remained for the rest of his life, and where he wrote The King's Two Bodies.

The high number of murders in New Orleans points to a larger problem plaguing other cities in Louisiana, as well as cities across the country, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu told a group of Advocate reporters and editors during a recent meeting at his office.
Landrieu said that city officials in Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Shreveport are also struggling to deal with murders, many of them involving young black men killing other black men.
"This is a national epidemic," said Landrieu, adding that he had consulted with several mayors across the country about the problem, including Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter.
NOLA for Life, an initiative launched by Landrieu's office earlier this year, gathers law enforcement and social resources under one umbrella, offering frequent offenders a mix of carrots and sticks in an attempt to stem escalating violence.
Landrieu said the message of the NOLA for Life campaign is simple: "No matter what the issues are, you've got to stop shooting each other."
The philosophy of NOLA for Life is similar to that of BRAVE, or Baton Rouge Area Violence Elimination, an initiative recently launched by Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden and other officials. Like NOLA for Life, BRAVE also uses a mix of incentives and punishments, focusing on frequent figures in the most troubled neighborhoods in an effort to reduce violence.
The shared problem of murders in Louisiana's major cities should be a source of concern, but this common challenge can also present opportunities for cooperation and mutual support. We hope that Louisiana's mayors exchange information with each other about what's working — and what is not — in the effort to reduce the numbers of murders in violence-prone areas. State government also has a role to play in addressing the problem. State social service agencies should be important players in collaborative efforts among municipal officials to help steer young people away from lives of crime. The state's juvenile justice system desperately needs adequate funding to help rehabilitate young criminal offenders before they commit murders. Increasing such funding should be a priority for Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration.
Violence is a tragedy not only for Louisiana's urban areas, but the state as a whole.

Letter: Children took the tests without any ill effects
Children took the tests without any ill effects
Well, it's over and they have made it through with no apparent ill effects. Yes, I am referring to my kids and their taking of the Common Core ELA tests. They endured the three-day, 90-minute tests without any noticeable physical or mental scars. Instead of opting out and having them "sit and stare" or "sit and read," I chose to have them take the tests and be challenged. Does that make me a bad parent?
I am sure that I do not understand all the controversy around the kids taking these tests. I respect the teachers and parents for voicing their concerns, but I simply don't get it. These tests have no bearing on the children's grades or their ability to move to the next grade level. They do create a baseline for the children, tell how they are progressing in the classroom and measure how the teachers are doing teaching the children. Personally, I do not see anything wrong with that.
Anyway, back to my kids; they still don't clean their rooms, turn the lights out or put the dirty dishes in the sink. Everything is the same as it was before the test, except for the fact they may have learned something.

It's probably not surprising that when Facebook users are 21, most of their friends are also in that same age bracket. It's also not a shocker to say that men talk about sports on Facebook more than women. But how do trends change over time? Do 30-year-olds tend to talk about health more than new high-school graduates? A highly visual set of data from Wolfram Alpha brings Facebook's social graph to life, showing how people connect and relate to each other on the social network.
The median amount of connections on Facebook, Wolfram Alpha found, is 342. The cutoff is 5,000 friends, and it appears that a few people have hit that limit.
Additionally, as we age, so do our friends. A 21-year-old Facebook user will mainly have friends in the 18-to-25 age bracket, but this changes as users get older. Around 50, users' children start to join Facebook. Interestingly enough, by the time users turn 70, they have very few peers on Facebook.
Wolfram Alpha next looked at relationship status by age. It found that from 13 (the minimum age) until about 45, more men have their status as single, but after 45, more women have their relationship status set this way. Around 25, there is a dip in users who say they're in relationships. This seems to correspond with a rise around that age of users who say they're engaged.
Although it appears that Facebook's younger users seem to be married, it's chalked up to teenagers playfully pretending to be Facebook-married to their boyfriends, girlfriends, or best friends.
Wolfram Alpha then compared marriage rates on Facebook to the U.S. Census, finding that they're fairly close.
So now that we know the age and marital status of Facebook users, what are they talking about?
The topics of discussion change with age, too. Naturally, video games become less popular over time, but more users post about health as they get older. While teenagers seem rather unconcerned about the weather, it becomes a greater topic for Facebook's more senior users. It seems that users talk more about politics as they get older, but moreso men than women.
Data analyzer Stephen Wolfram discussed this study in a blog post:
Over the decades, I've been steadily accumulating countless anecdotal "case studies" about the trajectories of people's lives, from which I've certainly noticed lots of general patterns. But what's amazed me about what we've done over the past few weeks is how much systematic information it's been possible to get all at once. Quite what it all means, and what kind of general theories we can construct from it, I don't yet know.
But it feels like we're starting to be able to train a serious "computational telescope" on the "social universe." And it's letting us discover all sorts of phenomena that have the potential to help us understand much more about society and about ourselves, and that, by the way, provide great examples of what can be achieved with data science, and with the technology I've been working on developing for so long.
Readers: What surprised you in this study?

In the presentation of 2010-8 in Atlanta I proposed adding a new clause to 188.8.131.52 as follows; "d.

There is no magic in the number, I mostly just picked a number. It seemed like it should be at least an order of magnitude less that the current host count of 2000. But I'm open to suggestions, especially any suggestion with a good rationale for the number.

Amazon KDP stands firm: my book is out for unspecified reasons
As explained in my last post, I learned on Christmas Day that Amazon was dropping A Long Time Ago from its Kindle store because of a supposed trademark problem surrounding the phrase "Star Wars".
I replied to Amazon's last email as follows.
Please reconsider your decision. My book is a memoir about growing up a Star Wars fan. It is not at all trademark-infringing. You have not said that you have had any complaint from Lucasfilm or others, and I cannot imagine that you would. There is more information about my book, and how we have got to this point, on my blog here:
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please feel free to call me at the number below if you would like more information.
I got this reply:
We have reviewed the information you provided and have determined that we will not be making the book available for sale in the Kindle store at this time. As mentioned in our previous correspondence, while we cannot advise you on trademark laws, we encourage you to conduct your own research by possibly going to your local library or using other online resources that may be available to you.
I'm sorry, but we can't offer any additional insight or action on this matter.
If you have any ideas about how to solve this, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or add a comment below.

RENOWNED natural history film-maker Sir David Attenborough will be at the Dorset County Museum today to unveil an historic fossil discovered in Weymouth Bay.
Sir David will be at the Dorchester museum as the giant jaws of a pliosaur, a huge marine reptile that roamed the seas 155million years ago, go on display.
The fossil was discovered by fossil hunter Kevan Sheehan between 2003 and 2008 after a landslide washed out the fossil bones.
Sir David, who has been the voice of natural history programmes on the BBC for more than 50 years, will help unveil the pliosaur fossil before it goes on display to the general public tomorrow.
The specimen was purchased by Dorset County Council's museums service, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund Collecting Cultures programme and significant funding from Dorset and Devon county councils.
Over the last six months the Jurassic Coast team and the Dorset County Museum have been working together to produce the display showcasing the fossilised skull, which is 95 per cent complete.
Director of the County Museum Jon Murden said: "We are delighted to house such a world-class discovery at Dorset County Museum and the Weymouth Bay pliosaur is now a fitting centrepiece in our ever-popular Jurassic Coast gallery."

The Howard Government will announce a $1.6 billion lift for the struggling aged-care industry next week, with most of the money going to higher subsidies for nursing home beds.
The Age believes about $250 million a year will go towards recurrent funding - the money aged-care operators receive per resident per day from the Federal Government.
It is part of an election year spending spree in which the Government has pledged more than $4 billion in new funding, much of it for the health, welfare and family sectors.
The Government is also expected to lift the cap on the accommodation fees that nursing homes can charge wealthier residents from $13.91 to up to $19 a day.
The package is believed to contain special funding for rural and regional areas.
Greg Mundy, chief executive officer of Aged and Community Services Australia, which represents the not-for-profit sector, said an extra $250 million a year to recurrent funding might not be enough.
"I suspect that's going to be a bit lean," he said. "If that's what they're planning, it's a substantial improvement... but it doesn't restore all the money that's been sucked out of the system in the past seven years."
A $1 billion increase over four years in recurrent funding - ranging from $27 a day to more than $100 a day per resident depending on the level of care - would be a 5.4 per cent increase on the present $4.6 billion the Commonwealth spends on subsidies.
Mary Barry, executive officer of the Victorian Association of Health and Extended Care, said the nursing home industry needed an extra $10 per resident per day. "I've got a lot of members now telling me they are at the brink... and they are depending on this budget to make them viable."
Catholic Health Australia chief Francis Sullivan said the package must include a generous increase in recurrent funding to nursing homes.
"We will only be satisfied if the package includes that funding," he said. "If it's more of the same.. it will do nothing to relieve the increasing burden on nursing homes."
The Minister for Ageing, Julie Bishop, visiting a nursing home in Warragul yesterday, called for applications for grants under the Government's Support for Aged-Care Workers Program - a $21 million scheme to help aged-care workers improve their skills.
She has said the Government has doubled aged-care funding to $6 billion a year since 1996.
Rod Young, chief executive officer of the Australian Nursing Homes and Extended Care Association, said the expected recurrent funding increase would work out to about $7.50 a day for high-care residents and $1 a day for those in low care.
He said a $1.6 billion increase would be warmly welcomed but the Government needed to index recurrent funding at a more realistic level. The changes have been guided by a $7 million review of aged care by economist Warren Hogan.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
I don't think it's a bearing. I've had bad bearings in my Whirlpool products before. This sounds more like something got stuck between the belt and drum or stuck somewhere in the drum machinery that is making noise when it runs.
So the back panel doesn't expose the interior of the drum? I definitely need to go through the front?
There's one control panel for the washer and dryer... if I take that off, will I have to remove any wiring? Also, I'm an older woman and I don't know if I can lift a drum by myself.
Also, I was just looking at it and while there are two screws holding the control panel on, the entire front face would have to be removed to expose the drum, including a number of screws on the top.
The sounds is a hard metallic scraping along with a sound that sounds like a load of gravel is in the drum. No screeching.
the entire face of the control panel will drop out of the way to see the screws that need removed to take the front off,,,, yo will see when you remove the frum if the plastic bearing is shot or not.... it will be as plain as day!!!
If this is a new unit, why are you taking it apart, it has a one year warranty on it, through SEARS???
Although the units were installed new into the new condos, they aren't used until the new owners move in. Still, the warranties start running when the install takes place. That was over a year ago.
OK, I'm trying to take the control panel off. There are actually 6 screws, two tiny ones at the border of the inside, two that seem to be holding on white things that go under the panel, and two holding a silver plate that runs under the panel. My worst fear is that I mess up the wiring by taking off the wrong thing. Which set of screws are the two you're referring to?
sorry about that,,,,let me know when you need more help??
As soon as I can get the faceplate off I'll try to get the drum out. It's not attached to anything else? Do I have to take out all the interior drum screws?
I hope I can get this thing back together!
I got the two screws out and I'm having trouble getting the face off. I hope I haven't broken anything, Is it attached to anything else?
What further steps are there until I can actually see the drum and motor? I'm getting in way over my head I fear!
LOL! Okay, that's pretty good. : )
Is there one showing how the panels come off? Somehow that's seeming harder than actually fixing the thing!!!

If you've never actually felt sympathy for a TV reporter caught in an embarrassing on-air flub, get ready to meet Sam Rubin.
The veteran KTLA entertainment reporter was conducting a live remote interview with Samuel L. Jackson yesterday morning.
Jackson was there to talk about his role in the RoboCop remake. And everything was just peachy until Rubin revealed that he thought he was talking to a different black actor.
Rubin's opening query: "Did you get a lot of reaction from that Super Bowl commercial?"
Apparently Rubin thought he was chatting with Laurence Fishburne, the star of The Matrix film series, who recently appeared in a high-profile Kia TV spot that aired on the day of the big game.
"What Super Bowl commercial?" asked a genuinely perplexed Jackson. And then you can actually see the actor putting two and two together and realizing that Rubin has mistaken him for Fishburne.
To his credit, Jackson, perhaps known for his short-tempered performances in films like Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained, managed to rein in his reaction.
"You're as crazy as the people on Twitter," he shot back, before clarifying, "I'm not Laurence Fishburne."
And with a steely glare, Jackson added, "We don't all look alike!"
Rubin, who somehow managed to maintain his composure, tried to defuse the issue by saying, "I am guilty!" but Jackson wasn't going to let it go.
"You're the entertainment reporter for this station and you don't know the difference between me and Laurence Fishburne? There must be a very short line for your job."
At which point it appeared that Jackson actually felt a little sorry for the reporter, and got on with the interview.
Shortly after, Rubin was allowed to apologize for his gaffe on the KTLA newscast, although the mea culpa came with the insistence that he really did know who he was talking to.
"First and foremost, I do know who Samuel L. Jackson is," Rubin stated on air. "I pride myself on the fact that, unlike a lot of people who do this kind of work, more often than not, I really do know what I'm talking about, but I didn't 30 minutes ago.
"And I'm really embarrassed about it, and I very much apologize to Samuel L. Jackson and anyone else who was offended by what was a very amateur mistake."
That's fine, Sam. But if you're ever talking to Samuel L. Jackson again and he starts quoting Ezekiel 25:17, you should probably run for the hills.Report Typo/Error

Trouble could be brewing for a Michigan 5th grade teacher after she allowed her students to drink O'Doul's non-alcoholic beer during class - to teach them about Colonial times.
According to school Superintendent, Ed Koledo, students in a class at Hyatt Elementary school sampled O'Doul's, advertised as a non-alcoholic malt beverage, after one of the students brought it in as part of a lesson on Colonial times. Apparently, beer was one of the staples of 18th century life due to the scarcity of clean drinking water.
O'Doul's contains less than 0.5 alcohol. While that's far less than regular beer, allowing minors to drink it is still a misdemeanor.
Students were not forced to sample the beer and only a small taste was given to each student.
Koledo declined to identify the teacher but said that the school district has made it clear to her that her actions were inappropriate.
"We talked to the teacher and said this was an inappropriate choice," said Koledo. "There were a lot better choices to represent a colonial-era drink than what was chosen here."

Abuja (AFP) July 18, 2013
Nigeria plans to withdraw some of its troops from Mali because they are needed back home, where the country is battling a deadly Islamist insurgency, officials said Thursday.
It was not clear how many troops would be pulled from the troubled west African nation, where Nigeria currently has some 1,000 troops, a Nigerian military source said.
Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara, current chair of the 15-nation West African bloc ECOWAS, told reporters the withdrawal was because Nigeria needed its soldiers back home.
"It's because of the domestic situation," Ouattara said after an ECOWAS summit in the Nigerian capital Abuja.
"I received a letter from the president. Nigeria needs some of its people. They are not withdrawing everyone. They are withdrawing part of the troops. A good part of the troops are going to be there."
However, the military source said troops would pull out because the country felt "shabbily treated" under the new UN force in Mali.
A Nigerian commanded the previous African-led force in the country, but the UN mission is being headed by a Rwandan. Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation and largest oil producer, has the biggest military in west Africa.
"Nigeria feels shabbily treated ... when it became a UN outfit," the military source said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to discuss the matter publicly.
"...A non-Nigerian was appointed as force commander while we are putting so much into the mission. So we think we can make better use of those people at home than to keep them where they are not appreciated."
He added that "it is not all of them that will be withdrawn," without providing specifics.
The UN mission integrates more than 6,000 west African soldiers into its ranks and is charged with ensuring security during and after July 28 elections in Mali.
It is to grow to 11,200 troops, plus 1,400 police, by the end of the year.
French forces intervened in Mali in January to push out Islamist rebels who had seized the north. The UN deployment has allowed France to start withdrawing most of its 4,500 troops.
Nigeria approved the deployment of 900 troops with the capacity to increase to 1,200 under the previous African-led force.
Nigeria's military has been stretched thin back home.
Violence linked to an insurgency by Islamist extremist group Boko Haram, mainly in Nigeria's north, has left some 3,600 people dead since 2009, including killings by the security forces.

In Search of God's Will
by Monte Wolverton
Some believe that God reveals his specific will for us in subtle ways. This view is not exclusive to any one religion, but crosses the boundaries of faith and belief.
For example, one young man was in a quandary about what college he should attend. He went to the internet to search for prospective colleges. He concluded that the first college found by the search engine he used was God's will for him to attend.
Others seek God's will by praying long and hard -- then waiting to see what thoughts or intuitions pop into their minds. They believe that God will reveal specific answers to their questions only after they expend considerable effort in prayer. And some actually claim to hear a literal voice -- God speaking to them.
There are many ways people claim to have heard from God (see "God Spoke to Me," page 39) but his messages often seem conflicting -- even among Christians.
The Plain Truth occasionally receives submissions from writers who claim that God told them to write an article and that we should publish it.
It is true that God is all-powerful, and there is no doubt that he is capable of making his wishes known in any way he wants. But should we ascribe the authority of God to imagined voices and random thoughts? As Christians, can we automatically assume that every thought we have is a prompting of the Holy Spirit, or are some or even many of these ideas our own musings, hunches and notions? How can we be certain?
Methods some Christians use to determine God's will are highly subjective -- arising from the individual's own perception and experience. Such messages are subject to personal interpretation. They are rarely confirmed, questioned, evaluated, subjected to critical inquiry or verified in light of the Bible.
And ironically, in many cases, these perceived messages from God seem to affirm what the individual wanted to do in the first place.
Finding God's will via our own subjectivity can have more in common with tea leaves, palm readings, horoscopes and crystal balls than authentic Christianity. Are there ways of seeking God's guidance that are biblically sound and objective? Under what circumstances should we seek God's will?
Finding God's Will in the Bible
What does the Bible tell us about (1) God's will for us as individuals and (2) how he communicates that will to us?
God's general will for human beings is clearly revealed in the Bible. It is no mystery.
In the Old Testament, God laid out his will initially to Adam and Eve, and later to the patriarchs. He revealed his will for the ancient nation of Israel through Moses, in the form of the old covenant with its 613 laws and statutes, including the Ten Commandments.
In the New Testament, Jesus replaced this set of rules with an entirely new and different covenant that represents God's will, not only for Israel, but for all humanity.
God's general will for humans is completely revealed in the person of Christ. As the author of the book of Hebrews writes: "In the past, God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word" (Hebrews 1:1-3).
Everything we need to know about God's will is simply a matter of learning about and knowing Jesus. We can learn about Jesus by reading and studying God's Word. We can know Jesus by inviting him into our lives and communicating with God through prayer. Through God, the Holy Spirit, living in us, we come to understand God's will.
Jesus described the role of the Holy Spirit living in Christians. "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come" (John 16:13).
Paul writes in Romans 12:1-2, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God -- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Through submitting to God, we come to understand his general will for us as Christians.
So far, so good. But what about God's specific will for you and me? What about career, family, business, finances and education? What many of us really want to know are specific details about whether to buy a house or whether to become a teacher or a lawyer or a doctor or even what stock in which to invest. But other than the principles given in Scripture, the Bible is silent on the subject of God's specific will for you and me.
Some point to the fourth chapter of the book of James as evidence that God has a detailed and specific plan or will for each one of us. "Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, 'If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.' As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil" (James 4:13-16).
James was merely warning against the arrogant idea that we have total control or self-determination over our lives. His point was that we never have total control, and therefore that we should live in humble subjection to God.
James did not advise his readers to attempt to determine God's will in specific business and life decisions -- he merely reminded them to be aware that whatever they did, they were subject to God's sovereignty.
Which brings us back to our original question. How can we discover God's specific and individual will for us? Does God even have a specific and detailed will for individuals -- a mysterious hidden agenda and plan? If so how are we supposed to discover it?
It is vitally important that we realize there is a big difference between how God reveals himself and his will in the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament God sometimes made his specific will for the Hebrews known through the casting of lots and revelations to prophets, even omens and portents (see "Finding God's Will in the Old Testament," page 41). Other ancient cultures also practiced similar ways of inquiring -- but with other gods and animistic spirits.
After the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, God no longer revealed his will to Christians through omens, lots and other similar methods, as Christians enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.
No Magic Formula
Bruce Waltke writes, in his book, Finding the Will of God, "The New Testament gives no command to 'find God's will,' nor can you find instructions on how to go about finding God's will. There isn't a magic formula offered Christians that will open some mysterious door of wonder, allowing us to get a glimpse of the mind of the Almighty."
Making choices and decisions is hard work, and there is no indication in the New Testament that it is normative for God to make these decisions for Christians. In some few scriptural cases, apostles were directed by the Holy Spirit in detail as to where to go and who to see. But there is no indication that the lives of average Christians were directed in that way. Thus, we may conclude that God's will is for Christians to make biblically based decisions about day-to-day issues we face.
Many well-meaning Christians suffer needlessly because they are waiting for God to make decisions for them. They sincerely believe they are waiting on God and exercising faith. They believe they are "letting go and letting God." In reality, God expects and directs them to think, research and seek counsel in order to make wise decisions.
Some Christians are simply indecisive, procrastinating while they expect God to send a thunderbolt-like answer out of the heavens. Meanwhile, a decision is eventually forced on them by the passage of time. They then attribute that decision to God. Then, when procrastination and indecisiveness produce a sad and often pathetic result, they wonder why God has it in for them.
Christians often misunderstand what it means to turn over the reigns of their lives to God. When we rely on some subjective or mystical means of auguring God's will, we are effectively abdicating our God-given responsibility, and letting our lives spiral out of control.
Rather than seeking mystical short-cuts or listening for voices or random thoughts that may be nothing more than justification for avoiding the difficult task of major decisions, the Bible offers the following practical insight.
The Role of Wisdom
James identifies the element that gives us guidance in personal life choices.
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5). According to James, wisdom is evidence that Christ is living his life in us. "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom" (James 3:13).
Paul tells the believers in Colosse that the way to understand God's will is through the gift of wisdom. "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding" (Colossians 1:9). In the next chapter, he speaks of the Source of that wisdom. "My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:2-3).
The New Testament speaks far more about wisdom than it does about finding God's specific will about the details of our lives. Scripture teaches that God's guidance comes through the development of wisdom, a process of spiritual growth God produces in us, which does not occur overnight.
Wisdom -- good sense and sound judgment -- is given to us as a result of our close relationship with God. Proverbs (one of two books in the Bible dealing with the subject of wisdom) advises: "My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. Then you will understand what is right and just and fair -- every good path. Discretion will protect you and understanding will guard you" (Proverbs 2:1-11).
Some individuals who do not have a relationship with God may display wisdom in certain areas based on education or experience. Although they may not acknowledge it, all wisdom is ultimately a gift from God. Genuine spiritual wisdom only results from a close relationship with God. God gives mature Christians wisdom -- wisdom that is born of years of prayer, study of the Bible and advice from wise individuals.
Granted, some of life's decisions are difficult and painful even for wise and mature Christians.
God, in effect, says to Christians: I am sovereign, and in my sovereignty, I grant you stewardship of your life. I give you freedom in Christ and the responsibility to decide what to do and how to do it. I know you may sometimes feel as though you are at the end of your rope, but don't be afraid. To help you find your way you not only have my written word and my gift of wisdom, but Christ will live in you "to will and act according to his good purpose" (Philippians 2:13).
No hidden agenda there. Just a plan for personal guidance that gives us peace, confidence and hope.
God Spoke to Me!
Here are just a few examples of how sincere Christians mistakenly attempt to divine God's will. Some believe actions like those illustrated below "keep them in God's will."
Negative Circumstances
Marsha feels depressed and frustrated. She had just failed to pass her real estate exam for the third time. What was she doing wrong? Was there sin in her life? Was God trying to tell her something? Maybe it just wasn't God's will for her to become a realtor.
Yes, there is sin in all of our lives. But that has nothing to do with Marsha failing her exam. There are two legitimate possibilities: 1) She was not sufficiently prepared for the exam. 2) She either does not have an aptitude or does not have sufficient desire to become a realtor.
Marsha needs to consider whether she has the aptitude, resources and determination to prepare for and pass the exam, and whether real estate is the right career for her. She can and should bring these issues to God in prayer. But failure to pass the exam can't necessarily be taken as some kind of communication from God.
Thomas Edison and his team made over 1,000 unsuccessful attempts before they invented a light bulb that worked. What if, after attempt number 6, Edison had said, "Well, it's clear that God isn't blessing our work. I guess an electric light bulb just isn't God's will"?
You would be reading this by candlelight.
Positive Circumstances
Daryl has been looking for a job -- hoping and praying that the right one would come along, although he hasn't done much research or sent out any resumes. Out of the blue, an old friend calls and offers him a part-time job at his new fast-food restaurant, Yam Delight. The job is only part-time and pays minimum wage with no benefits. Daryl is also a little concerned about the success potential for yam-based fast-food. But it's an "open door." Christian friends tell Daryl that it may be God's will for him to get into the yam fast-food business (and on the ground floor, at that).
Opportunities present themselves every day, and they must be judged on their own merits. While God can certainly bring about good opportunities for his people, the presence of an opportunity is no dogmatic indication that God has brought it about, or that it should be acted upon.
Scriptural Misinterpretation
Harold is distraught because his landlord has not only raised the rent, but refuses to pay for extermination of the stinging centipedes that infest his apartment -- the unfortunate result of a careless mistake by an entomologist neighbor who has since moved to South America. "It's not my problem," the landlord had said.
Harold consults the Scriptures. Since he can recall no verses dealing specifically with stinging centipedes or landlords, he decides to "lucky dip" -- let the Bible fall open to a page and point to a scripture at random.
The scripture Harold's finger lands on is Hosea 13:6, "When I fed them they were satisfied; when they were satisfied they became proud; then they forgot me." Harold decides that God is telling him through this passage that the best way to get rid of his centipedes is to starve them out. He removes all the food from his cupboards and refrigerator for several weeks, rather than insisting that his landlord hire an exterminator.
Of course, Harold has taken the scripture out of context. God's will cannot be determined by this approach, because it misuses the Bible. (Call or write to us for our free booklet, Understanding the Word, item K200, to learn more about the rules of sound biblical interpretation.)
Random Occurrences
Sarah is at her wit's end. Her husband is lost in his own little world ever since he took up his hobby of insect collecting. The number of specimens now exceeds 2,500 and takes up an entire room of the house, with several boxes of unsorted insect samples stacked in the garage. It's clear that her husband may have a compulsion for which he needs treatment. Marriage counselors have been unable to help. Sarah has been praying for some sign to let her know God's will.
Sarah drives past a billboard on the highway. It's an ad for Consolidated Airlines -- the headline shouts "Fly Away!" That's it, thinks Sarah. It's time for me to fly away from this insect and all of his little insects!
But there is no example of God communicating in this way in the New Testament. Sarah is merely searching for justification to leave her husband and his insects.
Is Good Fortune Divine Favor?
by Tom Ehrich
She survived her childhood, but now, as an adult, she struggles to survive the incest that ruled her youth. She prayed hard, says a friend, but God evidently "didn't hear her," because the abuse kept happening. Where was God? Years later, the question still nags.
Now she is studying yet another of those books which proclaim God is in control of all things, is one who answers all prayer, is one who leads all faithful people to abundance. Now, in addition to memories of incest, she must face the cruel implication that God was in control of those nighttime visits, that God chose to ignore her cries, that she must have been insufficiently faithful.
Do her fellow book-readers have any idea how their quest for a self-justifying prosperity gospel leads inexorably to a demonic God?
I remember trying to pastor a group of incest survivors. It was so difficult to imagine life across that divide, so difficult to sit within their pain as they raged against adults who betrayed trust, so difficult to stay in the circle as they sorted through popular religion's blithe assertion of a God who plans and controls. What sort of God would have a "plan" that required a child's abuse?
The image of God as planner, controller and dispenser of prayer-earned abundance is a pleasing conceit for the healthy and prosperous. It is pleasing to think of their good fortune as divine favor. But what about the rest of humanity? Other than asking them to leave, what do the abundance-seekers have to say to the unfortunate, the abused, the weak, the lost, the vast majority who cannot wake up each morning thanking God for a full larder?
"Winners pray harder" -- is that Godly counsel? "Cooperate with God to make abundance happen" -- does that do anything more than sell books?
My friend asks how to help her friend. The first answer, of course, is to love her, to stay beside her, to listen to her as deeply as possible. Religion tends to have a short attention span for pain. Don't be like that.
She can also say this: Yes, God did hear her, and God wept for her. She couldn't hear the sound of God's weeping then, but can she hear it now?
For the truth about God seems to be that God suffers as much as we do from his fundamental decision to allow his creation to be free. I don't say such things lightly.
Another friend asked recently, "If God isn't in control, then what is God?" Many people have built their faith around God as planner and controller. To protect their house-of-cards faith, they don't shrink from cruel assurances -- "God must have wanted her more than you did" -- that blame victims for their pain.
Jesus said: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep" (John 10:11). The good shepherd doesn't cause the wolf to attack or compel the "hired hand" to be lazy and inattentive, or see the attack coming and yet allow it to happen in order to teach some spiritual lesson. Evil does its own work.
God is a binder of wounds. God weeps over the fallen, as Jesus wept over Jerusalem. God suffers with creation, as Jesus suffered when Lazarus died.
God points the way to good pasture, but whether we err and stray is up to us. God established a good creation, but whether we farm it wisely and share its fruits with others is up to us. If the few prosper while the many starve, that isn't a divine plan at work, but "man's inhumanity to man." It isn't "God's will" which sets parent against child, or race against race, or predators against the weak or the selfish against everyone. It is God's will to bear the suffering of God's people, to shine light into the darkness and when the darkness fights back, to lay down his life on the cross.
We don't protect God by assigning to God a sovereignty over all events.
We protect only ourselves and that immature faith which sees oneself as the center and cause of all things, even abuse.

At about 8:05am ET this morning, MRC President Brent Bozell, publisher of NewsBusters, appeared on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" to discuss the networks' slavish coverage of Barack Obama and his campaign for President.
As Mr. Bozell says himself in the video (Windows Media), the Big Three (NBC, ABC and CBS) aren't delivering news stories so much as they are issuing Obama campaign press releases, save for the fact that the campaign itself would be too embarrassed to engage in this kind of overwrought hyperbole.
Mr. Bozell expounds on the glowing coverage of Barack Obama, and juxtaposes it with the now vicious reporting on his opponent John McCain, and goes on to predict how the two Party conventions will be covered.

Has anyone been constipated for over a month following tummy tuck?
- esands
- Last updated: 5 years ago
It is killing me. I went to the primary doctor not my surgeon and she told me I had annal fissure. I've never suffered from constipation before. Two weeks after my surgery I was feeling depressed and regret having the surgery. I have four kids and I hated the fact I couldn't do much. So I felt better at week 3. And now I am feeling depressed again over the fact I don't know what is causing me to be constipated i've been taking stool softners and eating just soup because I am afraid to eat anything else. And that hasn't helped.I also hate the fact that I am still swollen in belly. Does anyone know how long does it take for the swollen in that part to go away. I've read stories of people that have had tummy tucks and end up with Ileus which is intestinal obstruction. I want to get better for my kids and my husband. I hate for them to see me always complaining about something. Usually I am not like that. I can't deny though that I do feel better than week one. My surgeon told me to stop eating rice and to walk more. Besides that he left a piece of suture in my bb which seems like it's getting deeper in my bb since it's almost healed. I hope he doesn't hurt me when he removes it, he said I had to wait till my next visit to have it remove, that is in about 2 weeks. My surgeon doesn't seem to be too supportive he always makes me feel like if I whine to much. May be I do? Has anyone had this problem? I also don't want to scare people that are going to get this procedure I know that everyone is different. I feel weird expressing all these feelings in the internet it's just I wish I could hear from people that have gone through this procedure and they probably know what I am going through without judging. I have people telling me that this is something that I wanted to do and I guess they expect me not to complain or express my feelings.

These Pants Shrink...a bunch!!
Love the pants. They are comfortable, low rise and have no elastic around the waste...thank goodness. After washing and drying they shrunk an entire size - so buy up a size or do not dry!!! Otherwise - love the pants...perfect for the fashion conscience hiker.

Pro-Arab Fly-In Cant Get Off the Ground (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu 04/15/12)

INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
The media-hyped pro-Palestinian Authority fly-in has bombed out so far as airlines have canceled most of the activists tickets to Ben Gurion International Airport.
As of 8 a.m. Sunday, more than 600 police officers swarmed throughout the airport to handle mass protests by demonstrators, but so far, none of the pro-Arab protesters has landed.
Most airlines canceled the activists´ reservations rather than having to pay for their return following a warning from Israel that they would not be allowed to enter the country.
"Usually airlines don´t allow these people to embark, because then they have to cover the expense of the return flight," said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor.
The low-cost Jet.2 airline canceled tickets for women scheduled to travel to Bethlehem from Manchester, according to the London Guardian. Jet.2 said it complied with Israels request for names, dates of birth, passport numbers and nationalities of the passengers. Israel then told the airline the passengers would not be allowed to enter the country because they would be considered security threats.
Nearly 2,000 Europeans had planned to board airplanes for the flytilla, but most of them found themselves with canceled reservations. Lufthansa and Air France were among those airlines that told activists they could not board.
The apparent failure of the fly-in follows previous failed attempts to bring in pro-Arab activists by land, ground and sea, an indication that the anti-Israel movement is losing steam.
Last summer, most of a few hundred got no further than Ben Gurion International Airport, where they were sent back home at the airlines expense. Million-man marches on Israel also have been an embarrassment for supporters of the Palestinian Authority, as have sea flotillas.
The office of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had prepared "thank you letters for the activists, welcoming their interest to visit Israel to show their humanitarian concerns but suggesting they could have chosen Syria, Iran and Hamas-controlled Gaza to express their enthusiasm for protecting people against abuses of freedom.
"You could have chosen to protest the Syrian regime´s daily savagery, but instead you chose to ´protest against Israel, the Middle East´s sole democracy,´ the letter stated.
Mainstream media still are hoping for a "media event" and Voice of Israel radio reported Sunday morning that although no activists have landed, perhaps the quiet was a "calm before the storm" that might erupt later in the day. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 04/15/12)

Brad Pitt sat down for an interview this morning in New Orleans with The Today Show's Ann Curry (Video after the jump). He's currently in the 9th Ward building affordable solar-powered houses for Hurricane Katrina victims. But that shit's for suckers; Let's talk about those Brangelina babies! Here's some excerpts of the interviews including a fake one. See if you guess which one it is:
On raising six kids:
"I look at my sons and my daughters, and one's from Vietnam and one's from Cambodia and one's from Ethiopia, and … they're all brothers and sisters. And they're fighting, they're laughing, they're going into hysterics and staying up late, and they're messing with their parents, and they're driving me crazy and I'm really proud."
On his reluctance to discuss his family in interviews:
"It just gets cheapened somehow, as it goes through the filters in the airwaves," he explained. "And some things you just want to keep close."
On the media:
"Listen, if I single-handedly rebuild New Orleans into a thriving metropolis complete with flying cars, then will you people please forget that I cheated on Jennifer Aniston and am criminally less sexy than that guy who writes The Superficial. It's embarrassing."
On getting married to Angelina Jolie:
"If we feel it's important to our kids, we'll do so."
Hope you put your thinking caps on!
Answer: "If we feel it's important to our kids, we'll do so." Ha ha ha! No, seriously, who fell for that one? You might want to get checked for tumors.

THE Chase School said farewell to two members of staff who have between them served the school for 40 years.
The school's summer term ended with a party to say goodbye to Annie Williams, deputy head for 21 years, and Mitzi Janes, the school's support staff manager for 19.
Mike Woods, the school's director of sixth form, said: "Both colleagues have been members of the Chase's senior leadership team throughout this time.
"The party went extremely well with well over a hundred people enjoying a ceilidh and hog roast. Colleagues joined together on the last day of term to wish Annie and Mitzi well as they embark upon very active retirement schedules."

Symphony No.2 in E minor Opus 27 (3) Sergei Rachmaninov Download 'Symphony No.2 in E minor Opus 27 (3)' on iTunes
World-renowned actor, Sir Anthony Hopkins presents 'Composer', a collection of beautiful pieces written and composed by the man himself.
On July 23rd 2011, world-renowned actor Sir Anthony joined the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra on stage at Birmingham Symphony Hall to introduce a performance of his original compositions and scores from some of his best-known films. 'Composer' is the live recording of Sir Anthony's original works from that evening, including pieces composed for two films that he not only scored but also directed and starred in ('Slipstream' and 'August').
Sir Anthony Hopkins' love for classical music began at a very young age...
...When Sir Anthony Hopkins was just six, his love for the piano was ignited by lessons from Mrs Jeffreys, a music teacher in his home town of Margam. His mother had great hopes that one day her son would become a famous pianist. Her child showed great promise, improvising with chords and melody from an early age, scribbling down thoughts on sixpenny sheets of manuscript paper from Mister Salter's music shop in Neath, but it is only now, after decades of playing and composing works of music, that a collection of her son's original works is to be released on record for the first time.
The scraps of melody and sounds that were first jotted down in childhood have evolved over the years into pieces inspired by childhood memories, plays he has seen, films he has worked on, holidays taken, dreams he has dreamt and loved ones, including an enchanting aria dedicated to his wife Stella. All these inspirations and more are represented in Sir Anthony's classical music compositions.
Sir Anthony Hopkins says: "I'm very pleased I've found an extra string to my fiddle. For years I mused and dreamt about turning my scribbled thoughts and bursts of melody into pieces of work to be performed by a full orchestra and to see this dream turn into a reality through working with CBSO and now Classic FM is something I treasure very much."
As a child, Sir Anthony dreamt of "one day, perhaps, one day" becoming a composer. With the release of 'Anthony Hopkins – Composer', both his and his mother's dream is now cemented for all to enjoy.

There will be no Tiger Woods sightings at the Ritz Carlton. The top European golfers won't take over Li'l Abner's Steakhouse for the week and Jim Furyk will have to find another time to watch his Arizona Wildcats in person.
But there will still be professional golf in Tucson.
The PGA Tour made official what the Star's Greg Hansen first reported on Tuesday — the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship won't return to Dove Mountain in 2015. Instead, a Champions Tour event will take its place. The Tucson Classic will take over Omni Tucson National from March 16-22, 2015; golfers will play for part of a $1.7 million purse.
So what is the Champions Tour? Is this an upgrade? Who are the stars of the tour?
Here's a lowdown on everything Champions Tour
1. These guys are good. Yes, we're stealing the PGA Tour's slogan to describe their elders, but it's true.
The Champions Tour, made up of former PGA regulars who are 50 and older, is home to some of the most accomplished golfers in history.
For proof, let's exam the top five on the Champion Tour's points standings. Bernhard Langer, ranked No. 1 at the moment, won the Masters twice and has 42 European Tour wins to his credit. Numbers two through five on the list — Jay Haas, Colin Montgomerie, Kenny Perry and Fred Couples — have combined for 38 PGA Tour wins and one major title.
If those names don't do it for you, Tom Watson, Tom Lehman, Duffy Waldorf, Rocco Mediate, Mark O'Meara and Peter Jacobsen are all tour regulars.
It's too early to know if the likes of Couples and Watson will be roaming Tucson National, but the event is guaranteed to have at least a few names you're familiar with.
2. They've torn up Tucson before. Whatever the field ends up looking like, there's a good chance it will consist a number of men who have thrived in Tucson at some point in their careers.
In fact, in 2006, when Tucson hosted the Chrysler Classic of Tucson for the final time, Kirk Triplett, now a Champions Tour staple, won.
"Living in nearby Phoenix, I love desert golf, so I'm really happy the event will be on our schedule next year," Triplett said in a release. "After all, I was the last one to claim that Conquistador helmet."
Triplett isn't the only one on the Champions Tour who has won in the Old Pueblo. Jim Carter (2000), Jeff Sluman (1997), Andrew Magee (1994), Larry Mize (1993), David Frost (1988), Mike Reid (1987), Jim Thorpe (1985-86), Tom Watson, 1978, 1984), Gil Morgan (1983) and Craig Stadler (1982) all won the Tucson tournament during their careers.
3. They can make Tucson a hot spot. How big of a tournament will this be? We'll find out in time.
It's not a major. We know that for sure. The five majors — the Senior PGA Championship, the U.S. Senior Open, the Regions Tradition, the Senior Players Championship, and the Senior (British) Open Championship — take place from late May until late July. The other major stop on the tour comes at the very end when the top golfers head to Desert Mountain in Scottsdale for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.
All total, there are 26 stops on the Champions Tour this year. The 2014 season opened at Hualalai Golf Club in Ka'upulehu-Kona, Hawaii in mid-January. Other tournaments included stops in Boca Raton, Fla., Newport Beach, California, The Woodlands, Texas, and Glenview, Illinois.
Langer has dominated the tour in recent years. He's the money leader this year and was the top earner in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013. Lehman won it in 2011.

A GENEROUS wedding boutique boss has come to the aid of a Rowley Regis mum who is putting herself in spotlight to promote charities which are helping her seriously ill son.
Julie Dyer, of Halesowen's Perfect Days Weddings and Occasions store, has offered Melodie Williams an evening gown to wear in a beauty pageant for curvier women in London this month.
The 41-year-old, of Mountford Close, is being sponsored for entering Ms British Beauty Curve in London on July 27 to raise money for Acorns Children's Hospice and Little Hearts Matter.
Mrs Williams plucked up the courage to push herself out of her comfort zone and take to the catwalk to support the charities which have helped four-year-old Mason.
The youngster was born with a rare life-limiting genetic condition, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, commonly known as having half a heart.
She said: "I am so grateful to Julie for her kindness in letting me choose one of her gorgeous to wear."
Mrs Williams has already smashed her £1,000 fundraising target anyone wishing to contribute can do so at justgiving.com/melodie-williams2.

The penicillin's action to block the transpeptidase enzyme in bacteria is as a competitive inhibitor of this enzyme.
I hope this helps.
If you have further questions then let me know and I will be happy to get back with you.
Best Regards,
Anthony Bray MD
Hello again,
Well I looked it up in an old text of mine >>
Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (forth edition)
I looked up a web article reference that covers the point although it discusses a new drug that is related to the penicillins.
This article may be found at:
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/ 567147_2
If you look up this then click Pharmacology and mechanism of Action. About three lines down it states "B lactam antibiotics mimic the substrate for PBP"
Penicillin is a beta lactam antibiotic and PBP stands for penicillin binding protein.
The point is that if the penicillin mimics the substrate then it is competing with that substrate for the site on the enzyme.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.
