I have been asked to create a template (A4 paper) with very small page margins.Can anyone tell me whether there are standard page margins?
There is no such thing as a standard margin but you might consider customary practice:
@ Allow sufficient margin for people's thumbs to hold the book without obscuring
content.@ Allow a binding margin in the gutter (the inside edge of facing pages where they are bound into the book). Especially important for ring, comb and wireO binding.
@ Allow a 5 mm guard margin for live art, that is, if you are going to include large photographs, tables or diagrams, any important content within them should not be closer to the page edge than 5 mm. All of these items can actually bleed
off the page provided critical content is within the live art margin.@ Allow a margin of typically 12--15 mm from the L and R edges of the paper for older model inkjet and laser printers that cannot print right to the edge. Some recent models CAN print to the edge but you may not like blotches,
blobs and scan lines.@ Allow a 3 mm binding float external to the page, that is, "negative" margin 3 mm beyond all edges for bleed art. Thus, for an A4 page of 210x297 mm, the bleed edge or margin is 216x303 mm. You need to allow this for any photographs or art that bleed off the page. These photos should extend at least to the bleed margin because there is some float in the guillotine and instead of getting a clean cut through the bleed art, you might have a thin
annoying white strip at the very edge of the cut page.This can be ignored for manuals printed in-house on a laser or inkjet printer. If this is the case, do NOT include any bleed art or photographs, otherwise they will have a ragged edge where they go beyond the area the printer can
print.@ Allow for running heads and feet, normally considered to lie outside the page margin, which is considered to only enclose the main body of text on the page.
NOTE: The trim margin is the size of the page that will be cut out of a larger sheet by
the guillotine, for example, the trim size or margin of A4 is 210x297 mm.If you have Acrobat Professional, choose Tools > Print Production > Crop Pages. The radio buttons represent the various functional Ias opposed to aesthetic) margins.

Old English bringan "to bring, bring forth, produce, present, offer" (past tense brohte, past participle broht), from Proto-Germanic *brenganan (cf. Old Frisian brenga, Middle Dutch brenghen, Old High German bringan, Gothic briggan); no exact cognates outside Germanic, but it appears to be from PIE root *bhrengk-, compound based on root *bher- (1) "to carry" (cf. Latin ferre; see infer).
The tendency to conjugate this as a strong verb on the model of sing, drink, etc., is ancient: Old English also had a rare strong past participle form, brungen, corresponding to modern colloquial brung. To bring down the house figuratively (1754) is to elicit applause so thunderous it collapses the roof.

The hamburger is a classic customizable meal--you can choose your toppings, your condiments, and the human name you assign it before eating it. Bite into Barry J. Burgerton with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $5 for $10 worth of breakfast
- $8 for $16 worth of lunch or dinner
A signature OC burger with 100% Black Angus beef is $4.99 and a 12-inch breakfast burrito is $3.99. Gluten-free options are available. See the full menu.
OC Burgers
Mike French and Todd Hoffman, inspired by the burger joints and Mexicali burritos of their native Southern California, opened OC Burgers: a sit-down eatery where diners can dive into voluminous selections of both culinary offerings. Half-pound Black Angus burgers come topped with scoops of guacamole or teriyaki pineapple, and 14-inch tortillas envelop carnitas or carne asada. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Patricia Rodriguez called the bacon cheeseburger "very good indeed … with charred edges and a juicy interior." She also marveled at the size of the carne asada burrito, which she described as having, "strips of tender flank steak … marinated in orange juice and cilantro" with "more complex flavors than other carne asadas." On the restaurant's large TV, a looping video of the sunrise prompts roosters to continually announce the all-day breakfast menu, which includes breakfast burritos, omelets, and plates of pancakes or french toast.

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were greeted by bare-breasted dancers today as the royal couple began their Diamond Jubilee tour of Papua New Guinea in honour of the Queen's 60-year reign.
Charles and Camilla were draped with garlands of flowers and cheered by waiting crowds when they stepped from their plane after landing in the capital Port Moresby.
Known as the Queen's "pikinini" in the Pidgin English spoken in the Pacific nation, the heir to the throne looked relaxed after his long flight from the UK via Singapore with his wife.
The royal couple are touring Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand over the next two weeks in celebration of the Queen's historic milestone.
The welcome for the royals was one of contrasts with Prime Minister Peter O'Neill, his wife Lynda Babao and other senior dignitaries waiting at one end of a long red carpet, while at the other were local schoolchildren in tribal dress performing a hiri dance - used to welcome traders to a village.
Jessie David, a bare-breasted 15-year-old wearing a pandanas leaf skirt, body paint and a headdress made of bird of paradise feathers, was given the honour of placing the orchid flowers on the shoulders of the royals.
Papua New Guinea is one of the most culturally diverse nations on the globe whose remote regions are home to communities and tribes whose customs and traditions have remained unchanged for hundreds of years.
Many of its inhabitants live in the fertile highland valleys that were unknown to the outside world until the 1930s when contact with Europeans really began.
With its people speaking more than 800 languages, everyday communication is conducted through English and Tok Pisin - a form of Melanesian Pidgin English.
In Pidgin the Queen is known as 'Missis Kwin' and 'Mama belong big family'.
After the greetings on the red carpet the formal welcome began and the Prince stood to attention for the British and Papua New Guinea national anthems, played by a military band, as 2,000 well wishers on a nearby hill watched proceedings at Jacksons International Airport.
Lined up in front of the heir to the throne were two rows of soldiers from the Papua New Guinea defence force forming a guard of honour.
Their commander Brigadier General Francis Agwi escorted the Prince as he passed down the ranks inspecting the servicemen, stopping briefly to chat to some of them.
Earlier this year the Brigadier General was placed under house arrest by soldiers under his command during an abortive coup that attempted to return former prime minister Sir Michael Somare back to power.
Later at the exclusive Airways Hotel where the royal couple are staying Charles was invested with the insignia of a Grand Companion of the Order of Logohu - an honour which carries the title of chief - by governor general Sir Michael Ogio.
The Order of Logohu - the Motuan tribe's word for the bird of paradise - is part of a new honours system introduced in 2005, the nation's 30th anniversary year, which recognises the high achievement of individuals.
Camilla was presented with the insignia of a Companion of the Order of the Star of Melanesia and the royal couple also received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee commemorative medal.
When Charles first met the governor general he joked with him, saying "It's very nice arriving when it wasn't too hot, there was a nice breeze" and he added that the guard of honour were "very smart".
The governor general's wife Esmie is a former hotel housekeeping maid from the Solomon Islands who married the Queen's representative last year in what was billed as the first state wedding in Papua New Guinea's history.
Lady Ogio curtseyed when she met the royal couple and later looked a little starstruck in the company of the Prince and Duchess.
Before retiring for the night the royals and Sir Michael and his wife posed for a picture.
The Prince and Duchess's itinerary begins tomorrow with them attending a traditional Sunday church service in a sports stadium with a congregation of hundreds.
Charles is colonel-in-chief of the Royal Pacific Islands Regiment and will present the unit with new colours before the royals watch a cultural performance in the arena.
Later in the day the Prince and Duchess will travel to the village of Boera where they will be shown elements of rural life including the products of traditional arts and crafts before meeting elders from local communities.
In the evening a state dinner will be staged in their honour hosted by the governor general and his wife.

Protect your bike in slides and spills with the AltRider Frame Sliders for the Suzuki V-Strom DL650. Made from abrasion and impact resistant plastic, these sliders integrate seamlessly into the AltRider Crash Bar mount by attaching via billet aluminum offset, designed to effectively transfer the impact load to the crash bars. Because of the direct mount to the bars, the frame avoids damage that can occur in a crash when frame sliders are bolted directly to the frame itself.
The sliders utilize plastic with good lubrication and wear properties, so AltRider frame sliders can survive a longer slide than those made with other common materials. Additionally, the ability to resist impact is high, making the slider less likely to snap off or crack in a crash. We also chose to use high strength chromoly steel rod instead of commonly used all-thread or stainless steel.
These frame sliders offer extra protection when you need it most.

The Republican Party is poised to adopt a platform next week that calls for a constitutional amendment banning abortion, with no exceptions for rape or incest.
The abortion language, approved today by committee, is similar to what the GOP adopted in 2004 and 2008.
MORE: Akin to stay in Mo. Senate race
Controversial comments by Missouri Rep. Todd Akin about a woman's body being able to prevent pregnancy in the event of a "legitimate rape" brings new attention to the party platform, which will come for a full vote at the Republican convention on Monday in Tampa.
Akin has vowed to stay on as the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, amid denunciations of his comments by GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney and pressure from the Senate GOP campaign committee to step aside. The six-term House member has apologized for his comments about rape, and is seeking forgiveness from Missouri voters in new ad.
Romney has said his administration would not oppose abortion in instances of rape.
CNN reported today that the so-called "human life amendment" was adopted "after a few minutes of discussion" by a 110-member committee chaired by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell.
Here's the abortion language that was obtained by CNN:
Faithful to the 'self-evident' truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment's protections apply to unborn children.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, appearing on MSNBC today, said the GOP platform may not fully reflect all of Romney's views, including on abortion.
"This is the platform of the Republican Party," Priebus told MSNBC. "It's not the platform of Mitt Romney."

New perks make banking easier
Paying your bills and taking care of other banking chores is a pain. Even more painful: the fees you'll face if you don't do them when you need to.
But here's good news from ShopSmart, the shopping magazine from the publisher of Consumer Reports: Banks have introduced five services that make those tasks easier and more rewarding.
• Person-to-person payments. Pay your friends the same way you pay your monthly bills online. All you need is a name and an email address to create a new payee in the person-to-person section of your online banking setup.
• Electronic check deposits. More and more banks are letting customers use the camera in their phone or tablet to photograph checks and deposit them electronically using a mobile banking app. No more trudging to a branch or an ATM to deposit them.
But to protect yourself, consider installing security software that detects and removes malware and lets you remotely lock or delete data if your phone is lost. Also, avoid public wireless networks to prevent theft of account information.
• On-the-go account monitoring. You can use a smartphone app or mobile websites to keep track of balances, transfer funds, avoid overdrafts, find ATMs and monitor account activity in real time to detect fraud.
• Online budgeting tools. Just use your debit card for most of your day-to-day shopping, and programs offered by Bank of America, Citi, Wells Fargo and many others will help you pinpoint your budget busters. Also look for financial planning tips and mortgage and insurance calculators.
• Discounts from retailers. Have you noticed retailer ads or coupons in your online bank statement? It's a new type of promotion that analyzes your banking, credit and social media activity to offer you personalized discounts of, say, 5 to 20 percent that you can click on for on-the-spot deals.
Two services to skip
• Expedited payments. To avoid late charges, some 27 million households pay a fee of $5 to $25 to speed up a payment. But ShopSmart points out that you don't have to spend money to get payments to post quickly. Simply schedule them online to be sure they will be on time.
• Investment advice. A bank's investment recommendations might work for you, but you shouldn't base your choice of adviser and services on where you keep a checking account.
Instead, start by searching for a qualified financial planner who is a member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (napfa.org).
Members charge for their services rather than collect sales commissions from the investment products they recommend.

Five nuggets of knowledge about the Week 8 games.
Can the Washington Redskins avenge last season's embarrassing 19-14 loss to the Detroit Lions? Redskins Pro Bowl outside linebacker Brian Orakpo told the NFC East blog on Thursday that Washington's loss to the Lions, which ended a 19-game losing streak, has been on his mind every day since. There's no way Mike Shanahan will let his team take the Lions lightly. Early in this game, the Skins' front seven must do a good job on Lions rookie running back Jahvid Best, who is capable of home run plays on the ground and in the passing game. Linebacker Rocky McIntosh is playing at a high level and that must continue. I'm eager to see if defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth is able to put back-to-back solid performances together. He's facing his old defensive coordinator from Tennessee in Jim Schwartz, so you may see him bring a little something extra.
The Redskins will attempt to hold down Megatron on this game. Calvin Johnson is one of the best two or three receivers in the league, and we all remember what Andre Johnson did to the Skins. But this is DeAngelo Hall's defense, as he has pointed out, and he should be able to pad his interception count against the Lions. I'm ready to see if Jim Haslett does anything special against Johnson. My gut tells me that he won't.
It's time to unleash Jon Kitna on the NFL again. I really think Kitna will play well against the Jaguars. Aaron Kampman's really the only Jags pass-rusher who can get home against the Cowboys, so Kitna should have plenty of time. He told me recently that he fought through elbow tendinitis in his throwing arm for a five-year stretch (2003-08), so I'm eager to see how he holds up with a lot more attempts than he's used to. The Jags' best cover man is Rashean Mathis, so look for Jason Garrett to stay away from his side when possible.
Let's see if Wade Phillips' defense can actually contribute to a win. With the Cowboys leading the Giants 20-7, the defense pulled a disappearing act. Phillips had the gall to blame it on Kitna's three-and-out-based offense, but we all know the score. The Jaguars allegedly have inferior talent to the Cowboys, so this is a game DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer should resemble Pro Bowlers again. If David Garrard's not under siege in this game, something's gone horribly wrong.
It's time to show the world that Dez Bryant will someday be an elite wide receiver in this league. And that day is coming soon. I don't think the Jags have enough firepower to keep up with Miles Austin, Roy Williams and Bryant. It will be interesting to see if Bryant's given a bigger role in the offense this week. If he is, it will be a sign that he's showing more dedication in the classroom at Valley Ranch. Have a wonderful bye weekend, Eagles and Giants fans. I'm sure you'll be backing your NFC East cohorts. Oh wait ...

Military Law
Have Military Law Questions? Ask a Military Lawyer.
We had annual training up until yesterday and everyone in the convoy had to unpack today at the unit. I was a POV and did an STA for today.
STA is when we request to have that drill date off, and make it up on another day. I was approved and not required to be there today.
Yes. The same one trying to get me there to fill out a sworn statement. I feel like it is a punishment for the email I sent to her and two other officers in my unit.
I am talking with my squad leader right now as well, and I have no orders for today. With the STA, my orders for today were moved to the date that I told them I would come in on to make it up. Does this still apply?
That makes sense. Am I allowed to wait until she emails the orders to leave? I've been told that I can't be on the road for military purpose without the orders. Is this true? Sorry, I just want to make sure I do everything right.
She called me and told me to be there. I was not given the paper orders though.

Subject: Gram's blood recipes
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 1998 02:14:14 EDT
Subj: My Grandma's Blood Recipes were sent to me by my mother after she read
the recipes I copied for her off this list. Please forgive me if this
duplicates something you have. I just got a grin on my face when I thought of
washing dead pig ears. Some things were simpler in Grandma's era, but cooking
wasn't one of them! Karen :-)
My Mom's letter: (please overlook wrong spelling of Norwegian words.)
"Yes, I remember blood poise or klub. I have these recipes that your Grandma
gave to me in l970. She died May 14, l977.
When we lived on the farm butchering was done in the fall for food for the
winter time, and they tried to use as much of the pig as was possible . Klub,
puolse and sylte were made with fresh pig blood and stock liquid was made from
boiling the pig head. When we moved to the city, your Grandma would order the
blood from the butcher. It had to be very fresh.
To prepare the head for cooking, cut out the brain, eyes, and snoot. Scrub
ears very well. The outside skin should be scraped after hot water is pour on
to remove the hair.
Put water in pot to cover the head and boil until tender. Then carefully cut
cheek flesh for sylte Put skin side down of one cheek. Cover with hot lean
pork trimmings. Season before assembling meat. Use ginger, allspice, salt
and pepper. Cover with the other hot piece of cheek flesh . Tie both pieces
of cheek flesh and filling together. Return whole piece of meat to the stock
and heat through. Take out of stock and press. (I remember it setting on a
plate with bricks piled on top of it.) Cool and slice for sandwiches/use as
cold cuts.
Vegetable soup or puolse (spelling?)
The stock is also used for vegetable soup or for puolse.
Method: You must have blood drawn from the animal (pig) just after it is
killed. This blood must be stirred constantly until cold. At this time use
the stock from the boiled pig head and cook with coarse pearl barley till
tender . Seasoned with salt and pepper. Then add the blood while the mixture
is hot, stirring all the while so it doesn't clot. Now it is ready to eat!
Pieces can be heated when it is served. Add water as needed to keep moist.
Klub is prepared as follows:
Mix fresh blood with flour and salt to taste - about one quart of blood to
6 cups of flour. Mix to a dough as for dumplings. Form into large ball
making a indentation. Then push finely cut pork fat into the center and seal.
Cook in water or stock for one hour. Drain and the klub is ready to eat with
salt and pepper. The left over pieces of klub can be served later by cutting
in slices as for frying potatoes. Put in a skillet and add a little water
cover to heat. Eat with salt and pepper or sprinkle with sugar."

Plane crash lands at Staniel Cay
Guardian Staff Reporter
Published: Aug 20, 2012
A nine-seater Flamingo Air plane crash landed at Staniel Cay Airport in Exuma shortly before 3 p.m. on Saturday, police said.
The Cessna aircraft came to a stop in nearby bushes, just off the runaway, after the pilot reportedly lost control of the plane while attempting to land, according to police.
The passengers were treated at the local clinic for minor injuries and were later discharged, police also reported.
Owner and operator of Flamingo Air, Raymond Meadows, told The Nassau Guardian yesterday that the plane slid off the runaway.
Asked whether the landing gear failed, Meadows responded, "No. It was due to rain on the runaway."
"The pilot did everything he could have done," Meadows said.
"I spoke to our [aviation] administrators. I spoke to pilots that were on the ground and they felt that everything was textbook and he did everything that he could have done."
The airplane reportedly sustained "extensive damage", but up to yesterday the full scope of damage was unclear.
Local government council member for Staniel Cay, Steven Miller, said all but three passengers flew back to Nassau to receive X-rays.
"We are very thankful and grateful that everyone was able to walk away from the crash and there were no injuries," Miller said.
"The nurse (at the local clinic) said she advised the people she saw from the crash...to fly back to Nassau just to have X-rays done to ensure there are no internal injuries...because there is no X-ray machine on the island."
When asked how the passengers were feeling, Meadows, who said he spoke to all them, replied, "With a situation like that how could you feel?"
On July 31, Meadows, 45, crash landed a twin engine Piper Aztec in mangroves to the east of Freeport Aggregates Limited, Grand Bahama, according to police reports.
Meadows along with his wife, their 10-year-old son and an unidentified man were en route to Eleuthera from Grand Bahama Airport to attend a family funeral when the aircraft reportedly encountered mechanical problems around 1:30 p.m.
While the passengers reportedly exited the aircraft unscathed, rescue efforts took more than five hours as rescue officials and Royal Bahamas Defence Force officers transported the passengers from the site via canoe, to land some two miles away.
Meadows declined to discuss any particulars of that incident yesterday.

Amen. * Note: "catholic church" here means the entire body of believers in Christ, not just one particular church.

The Sermon On The Mount MATTHEW 5-7 (King James Bible Clarified New Testament) 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 5:11 Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 5:13 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its savour, with what shall it be salted? it is thereafter good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 5:18 For truthfully I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one small mark shall in no way pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 5:20 For I say unto you, That unless your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 5:21 You have heard that it was said of them of old time, You shall not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 5:23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you; 5:24 Leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 5:25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. 5:26 Truthfully I say unto you, You shall by no means come out from there, till you have paid the last copper coin. 5:27 You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery: 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. 5:29 And if your right eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell. 5:30 And if your right hand offend you, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell. 5:31 It has been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery. 5:33 Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time, You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform unto the Lord your oaths: 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 5:36 Neither shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 5:37 But let your communication be, Yes, yes; No, no: for whatsoever is more than these comes of evil. 5:38 You have heard that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 5:39 But I say unto you, That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. 5:40 And if any man will sue you at the law, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also. 5:41 And whosoever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him two. 5:42 Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow of you turn you not away. 5:43 You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy. 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you, and persecute you; 5:45 That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans the same? 5:47 And if you salute your brothers only, what do you more than others? do not even the publicans so? 5:48 Be you therefore perfect, just as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 6:1 Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 6:2 Therefore when you are doing your alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Truthfully I say unto you, They have their reward. 6:3 But when you are doing alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does: 6:4 That your alms may be in secret: and your Father which sees in secret himself shall reward you openly. 6:5 And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Truthfully I say unto you, They have their reward. 6:6 But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret shall reward you openly. 6:7 But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 6:8 Be not you therefore like unto them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him. 6:9 After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name. 6:10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 6:14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 6:15 But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 6:16 Moreover when you fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Truthfully I say unto you, They have their reward. 6:17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; 6:18 That you appear not unto men to fast, but unto your Father which is in secret: and your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly. 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupts, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be sound, your whole body shall be full of light. 6:23 But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness! 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than clothing? 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 6:28 And why take you thought for clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 6:30 Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, How shall we be clothed? 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. 6:33 But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the next day: for the next day shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged. 7:2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete out, it shall be measured back to you again. 7:3 And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye? 7:4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the speck out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye? 7:5 You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then shall you see clearly to cast out the speck out of your brother's eye. 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and tear you. 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 7:8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 7:13 Enter you in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in there: 7:14 Because narrow is the gate, and constricted is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it. 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 7:16 You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 7:17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 7:19 Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 7:20 Therefore by their fruits you shall know them. 7:21 Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. 7:24 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 7:26 And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof. 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. ------------------------------------------------- May the Lord bless this presentation of this, His holy Word.

MY PRAYER FOR YOU, THE READERS OF THIS PAGE "For Patience" Sometimes you feel that all is lost and gone; You feel it is no use to carry on; You cannot see the light that lies ahead. I pray that you have patience at these times, And know the Lord is working while you wait, As after Jesus died upon the cross, They didn't know that He would rise again. by Rev.

DEAR LORD AND FATHER OF MANKIND by John Greenleaf Whittier Public Domain Dear Lord and Father of mankind, Forgive our foolish ways! Reclothe us in our rightful mind, In purer lives thy service find, In deeper reverence, praise. In simple trust like theirs who heard Beside the Syrian sea The gracious calling of the Lord, Let us, like them, without a word, Rise up and follow thee. O Sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above, Where Jesus knelt to share with thee The silence of eternity Interpreted by love ! With that deep hush subduing all Our words and works that drown The tender whisper of thy call, As noiseless let thy blessing fall As fell thy manna down. Drop thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of thy peace. Breathe through the heats of our desire Thy coolness and thy balm; Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm! <><Words by John Greenleaf Whitter, from his poem "The Brewing Of Soma," as published in his book, THE PENNSYLVANIA PILGRIM, AND OTHER POEMS, published by J. R. Osgood and Company, 1872.

God's One Law For All Mankind: "Love All People As Yourself."


text: Philadelphia couple Rob Garcia and Sarah Everton made two bedroom-rock low-fi records in 2010 as Reading Rainbow. They've since adopted an evocative new name (apparently Carrie Brownstein didn't like the old one), added a real rhythm section and blown up their sound into a shoegaze wail that braces against their songs' prim poppiness. There's a horror-movie tension as Everton's pale-beauty vocals get subsumed in hell-stoked noise.

Zeno of Elea (c. 450 BC)
Zeno flourished in the 5th century BC at Elea, a town of Lucania, in Italy. A favorite disciple of Parmenides, he came with him to Athens, where Pericles became one of his pupils. According to the account usually given, on his return to Elea he joined an unsuccessful conspiracy to take his native town from the tyrant Nearchus, and was subsequently tortured to make him betray his accomplices. To ensure his silence he is said to have bitten off his tongue and spat it in the tyrant's face.
Zeno held the usual doctrines of the Eleatic school respecting the unity and the immutability of all things, distrust in knowledge acquired through the senses, and reliance on pure reason. He did not deny that there were phenomena or appearances, but he maintained that these had no real existence, in anticipation of the philosophy of Berkeley.
In addition to his four paradoxes, he is remembered for having been the first to employ the style of argument known as dialectics, in which error is refuted, and truth sought to be established, by reduction ad absurdum – a method used so skillfully afterwards by Socrates and Plato. He devoted his powers of argument to enforce doctrines first broached by Xenophanes, and more systematically by Parmenides.
His works were in prose, but only small fragments have been preserved.

No resolutions, only hopes
But I do have hopes for the new year. Some are simple, some are profound, and some are actually plausible.
The war will end, the troops will come home safe and healthy, and peace will come to Iraq.
Democrats will take the White House, remain in control in Congress, and several of the more conservative Supreme Court Judges will either croak or resign for reasons of health or family commitments, leaving places for more liberal judges to rule the laws of the land.
Universal health care will come to the United States at last.
The Federal Poverty Rate will be a congressional concern and they will vote to overhaul the system, allowing for cost of living increases and cost of living credits for geographical areas.
People will become more green and will stop trying to refute global warming.
Health care research will be restructured so that mega corporations don't control all of the research studies.
The government will overturn NCLB and actually work towards education all children appropriately, including both GATE and SpED kids, by restructuring mainstreaming.
Government subsidies for corporate agriculture will cease, allowing more foodstuffs to be grown and donated to food banks, thus allowing the poor to eat healthier and combat childhood obesity.
My children will stop bickering and learn to get along.
I'll continue losing weight without very much effort on my part.
My cardiac rehab program will prove valuable and will help with my stress level.
To be a better and more pleasant mother.
To be less fiscally insecure and to begin to save some money for the future and emergencies.
To continue freelancing but more more money at it, and perhaps finding more interesting jobs.
To FINALLY get into subsidized housing with will enable me to afford an automobile.
To live a greener life this year, especially with regard to our issues with garbage and recycling (don't ask... it's a rant and a half.)
More volunteer work for the whole family.
A new computer will magically enter my life.
Finish all my knitting projects.
Less town bickering, please!
So what about you? What are your hopes for the new year? Stumble It! JBlog Me

8 Apr 1995: Julio Cesar Chavez and Giovanni Parisi throw punches at each other. Chavez won the fight in the 12th round. Mandatory Credit: Holly Stein /Allsport
Boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was fined and suspended today after failing a drug test last year, before his Mexican Independence Day Fight in Las Vegas. Chavez Jr. tested positive for marijuana in September after his first professional loss, resulting in a nine months suspension and fine of $900,000. "I know I committed a big error. It was a mistake," Chavez told the five commissioners. "I let a lot of people down." Chavez Jr. can't explain why he smoked weed before a fight besides he was extremely stress. One puff is set to cost Chavez Jr. 30% of his $3 million purse, which is the second highest fine in Nevada combat sports history. It's no surprise one person who was taken aback by the large fine was boxing promoter Bob Arum. "The nine months is fine, but a 30 percent fine on a purse of $3 million, that's extortion," Arum told ESPN.com. "That means Julio has to make a decision — is he going to contest the fine in court or he can elect not to fight ever again in Nevada. There's no question the nine months is the nine months, but it's ridiculous money, particularly since you already take out 30 percent for taxes. "I was hoping for nine months, that worked out. The fine is an absolute stunner. You don't do that to an athlete. Which athlete in any sport has been fined as much as $900,000?" Although the commission could have taken 100 % of his purse and banned him for a year since he has used banned substances in the past, having a good lawyer always helps.Since he used marijuana, which could be argued is not a performing enhancer drug, Chavez Jr. lawyer was able to ask for leniency. "I'd like to fight as soon as I can," Chavez said. "But I'm willing to accept anything you guys have because, like I said, I made a mistake, and I'm willing to take the punishment." His suspension is set to end June 15, and Bob Arum is currently planning his next fight for June 16. "He's going to fight June 16, we cleared that with the commission," Arum said. "They told us we can promote the fight during the suspension as long as the fight takes place after the suspension is up. But we were not going to take this fight to Las Vegas anyway. We have a hold on a building in Texas or we may do the fight in the new arena in Mexico City. One thing we won't do is have Chavez fight in Mexico during the suspension [where he could get a license]." You would think if you're going to partake in marijuana for leisure you would know when it would be out of your system, but judging from Chavez Jr. past he seems to have a problem with banned substance. He is currently (46-1-1), with so much to loss you have to be wiser young fellow.

text: Show Hide image Culture 18 September 2008 A dark prophet The impact of Francis Bacon's disturbing paintings has not diminished one jot Sign up for our weekly email * With his pimento-shaped face, reminiscent of an overstuffed hamster, Francis Bacon appears in photos taken by his contemporaries and in a famous portrait by his friend Lucian Freud - stolen in 1988 never to be seen again - as one of the most recognisable artists of the 20th century. Doyen of Soho drinking clubs, he led a reprobate life that has been well documented, from an Anglo-Irish childhood, with a repressive father who threw him out for showing an overdeveloped penchant for stable grooms and for his mother's underwear, to his sadomasochistic love affairs with numerous men of the demi-monde. The new Bacon retrospective at Tate Britain, the first since 1985, allows for a reassessment of his work in an age when shock and violence are common fare, in the art world and in daily life. An avowed nihilist and atheist, he was fraught with contradictions. "You can," he claimed, "be optimistic and totally without hope . . . I think of life as meaningless; [but] we create attitudes that give it meaning while we exist." Painting, alcohol and sex were the ways he sought that meaning. Bacon, widely regarded as Britain's greatest painter of the figure, aimed to inherit a place in the pantheon beside Michelangelo, Velázquez and Rembrandt. He insisted that his pictures "were to deserve either the National Gallery or the dustbin, with nothing in between" - and undoubtedly won that gamble. Yet despite his extraordinary innovation and recasting of the human form, he cannot be seen as a true modernist. He was, for most of his career, sidelined by the American critics, who saw him as too figurative, too narrative, and too concerned with European art history and Christian iconography. Neither did he share their boundless optimism nor care much for the abstract expressionism promoted by the American critic Clement Greenberg. As he said: "I do not believe in abstract art because you must have a starting point in reality." Today, as one looks back, more than a decade after his death in 1992, Bacon's sensibility seems supremely European. His postwar angst springs from the same ground as that of Giaco metti and Jean Dubuffet, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus and Jean Cocteau, whose bleak dictum "If you see your whole life in a mirror, you will see death at work" Bacon admired. His 1955 painting based on the life mask of William Blake, that great outsider of British literature, nails his colours to the mast of iconoclasm and individuality. He lived by his own rules, both in his art and in his relish for the bohemian lowlife (homosexuality was still illegal) of Soho and the Colony Room. T S Eliot was a huge influence. The poet juggled with religious imagery for a secular age, whilst Bacon was a committed atheist, but both caught something of the existential isolation and abjection that defined postwar Europe. Yet Bacon strongly denied a narrative message. He wanted his paintings to address the viewer's "nervous system directly" and to "unlock the valves of feeling" with his distorted forms, derived through chance, accident and appropriation. His paintings, he claimed, were a form of "exhilarated despair", and mankind "nothing but meat". He rejected the idea that his screaming popes, based on Velázquez's Portrait of Innocent X, shut in their claustrophobic glass cases, had anything to do with the image of the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, standing in a glass witness box during his trial in Jerusalem, or that his mauled, contorted bodies were born out of the horrors of the Second World War. Yet the famed detritus of his studio, posthumously saved by his heir John Edwards, reveals not only Bacon's passion for photography and film, but that his paintings were informed by images as diverse as illustrations from medical textbooks on diseases of the mouth, or the nanny's blood-spattered face from Battleship Potemkin. They were not, in other words, totally intuitive. It has long been acknowledged that Eadweard Muybridge's early photographs of movement were fundamental to Bacon's work. So where should we place him now? To stand in front of his Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion, painted in the 1940s, is still a deeply visceral and gut-wrenching experience. Bacon had come to know Aeschylus's Oresteia through Eliot's 1939 play The Family Reunion. The artist's three writhing Eumenides are barely recognisable as human figures. They have no eyes, only silently screaming mouths, bespeaking the fascination of that first generation of post-Freudians with the id and "the hidden presence of animal trends in the unconscious". Bacon's screaming baboons, sniffing dogs and bulls all blur the line between culture and abject nature. There is also something prescient about both the popes and Bacon's men in suits. Study for Figure II (1953-55) shows a solitary man with blank eyes and gaping mouth, in a jaundice- yellow suit, isolated on some sort of platform against an empty, black space. This figure, which bears an uncanny resemblance to George W Bush, is one of Eliot's hollow men, heads stuffed with straw, whose "dried voices, when/We whisper together/Are quiet and meaningless". There is nothing, Bacon seems to be saying, so isolating and dehumanising as power. His impact has not diminished one jot.

|Rangers investigating $4,500 jail fund forgery
|Faith Huffman | News-Telegram News Editor
Feb. 20, 2004 -- Hopkins County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation earlier this month after discovering multiple forgeries on the jail's inmate fund during December and January. The investigation is being conducted by the Texas Rangers with assistance from sheriff's investigators.
While going over bank statements on the Hopkins County Inmate Fund, officers discovered several forgeries on the fund, used as a holding account for money belonging to inmates, according to County Sheriff Butch Adams.
"Someone apparently got the tracking and account numbers for Hopkins County Inmate Fund," Adams said Monday. "The count was at $4,300, but we found $300 more today. So we're talking about $4,600 worth of forged checks now."
Local government department and business names were put on the homemade checks and passed at various locations, including a local grocery store. Included among the names in which the suspects used were the child support office, an Oklahoma gas and electric company, an attorney's office and others.
"Most of it was last month, but there was a little bit starting in December," Adams explained. "Pinkie Cooper [who oversees the account] discovered it when she was going over the bank statements. The January statement is where we really began to see it."
The old account has been closed and a new one started for the inmate fund. The bank is also on alert should any other forged checks be made on the account and will send them back as forgeries.
As of late Monday morning, officers suspected a man and woman of perpetrating the forgeries, but had no further information to release on the pair's identities as the case is still in the initial phases and a warrant has yet to be obtained for their arrests.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
Atractosteus spatula, the alligator gar (which actually has a head like a spatula), is the largest exclusively freshwater fish species in North America, and we have tons of these strange prehistoric-looking monsters of the shallows right here in the city. A slow float down the Trinity River through the Great Trinity Forest can turn up lots of these dinosaur-looking deals cruising with their broad backs just above the surface. They can grow to 10 feet and 300 pounds, so watch out when they slap water next to your canoe. The state will let you take one of them per day without a size limit, but you know what? Just looking at them and leaving them alone can be even more satisfying.
The older they grow, the better they age. While their few critics call it monotonous redundancy, their legion of P1 fans are convinced it's classic tradition. On the air together since 1994, the most consistently entertaining and highest-rated show on sports talk radio belongs to George Dunham, Craig Miller and Gordon Keith, weekdays 5:30-10 a.m. on The Ticket. It's about sports. It's about life. It's about guys being guys. It's — most important — about domination. Dunham & Miller are at this point basically lapping the field in Arbitron ratings. Every hour their show attracts twice the ratings as the offerings of ESPN-103.3 FM and KRLD-105.3 FM The Fan. Combined. Over the years they've developed the perfect recipe for morning radio with tasty pinches of interviews, topical headlines via "Muse in the News" and heady, though sometimes homerish takes across our sports smorgasbord.
If you're an aspiring boxer hell-bent on blood, sweat and tears, get your ass down to old-school Doug's Gym on Commerce Street. For the rest of us — ahhhh — to the paradise with the palm trees. The Lifetime Fitness on Highway 121 in McKinney is like a five-star resort, complete with more than enough amenities to serve us peculiar, pampered types who want the contradictory experience of working out in total comfort. Ya know, no pain; no pain. There are indoor and outdoor pools; a café with full-service bar; a spa resplendent in cosmetic services; courts for basketball, racquetball and squash; locker rooms with free towels and big-screen televisions; a computer center; financial services; even a rock-climbing wall and water slides for the kids. Oh yeah, and they got some weights up in there, too. All that for like $100 a month. So we ask you, why not just live here?
The impetus behind the raucous run by Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks last spring? Um, turns out there was a girl in the boys' room. But not that kind. This kind: Throughout the playoffs Dr. Mary Collings laid her healing hands upon Dirk's aching back in a crack-ya-bones sorta chiropractic way. But Collings, a '93 graduate of Dallas' Parker College and founder of Las Colinas Spine & Sports Medicine and a second office in Highland Park, didn't just work her magic on Dirk. Last year alone she treated the Stars, Cowboys punter Mat McBriar, ESPN's Darren Woodson, PGA player Brandt Jobe, actor Chuck Norris, singer Alanis Morissette and even the Highland Park High School "Belles" drill team. During the Mavs' playoff push and into the NBA Finals, Nowitzki and guard J.J. Barea were weekly visitors to Collings' office.
There's a museum in the back, behind glass — quite the collection of old cards, catcher's masks and Civil War-era bats. And then there are the rows and rows and rows of cards, sleeved and stacked for cardboard-box browsing and shopping. And shop you will: Here, history's affordable, sometimes as low as 50 cents per bubble-gum memory. We shop here regularly, three generations of card collectors: the grandfather who worshiped men named Koufax and Mays; the son whose idols were Harvey Martin and Jim Sundberg; the youngest one for whom any guy in a uniform on a card is considered a hero. Each of us never fails to find something during each trip. Bonus: Nick's is kind of like a sports-lottery ticket-seller too, peddling unwrapped packs for a few bucks each, some of which contain rare autographs, pieces of uniforms or other invaluable keepsakes. Buy the ticket; only thing missing is the sunburn.
Any questions? Didn't think so. Because after a season in which the soft guy proved tough enough and the German who couldn't lead in fact led, the best player in franchise history kicked his critics in their skeptical crotches with a memorable season in which he won a championship, NBA Finals MVP, a couple of ESPYs and — oh yeah — another relatively useless Observer award. Dwyane Wade and LeBron James tried to make fun of Dirk's feverish cough in the finals, but after an onslaught of lefty layups and flamingo fadeaways the player for years deemed not quite good enough is finally the best.

Arsenal is one of the most popular teams in English football and one of the most successful football teams in English football history. Arsenal's nickname is 'the Gunners' and their club badge has a cannon on it. An 'arsenal' is a place where guns and weapons are stored. Arsenal football club was founded in 1886 by workers from the Royal Arsenal in London which is where the club's name and nickname come from.
Arsenal play in the Emirates Stadium in London. The Emirates Stadium is one of the biggest in the Premier League with a capacity of 60,335 and on a match day, the seats sell out!
Arsenal wear red shirts and white shorts and socks when they are at home. Their away kit is yellow and dark grey.
Arsenal have won League titles, FA Cups, League Cups and European trophies. Since the start of the Premier League, Arsenal have won titles in 1998, 2002 and 2004. Only Manchester United and Liverpool have won more league titles than Arsenal. They also reached a Champions League final, but lost 2-1 against Barcelona, in 2006. Arsenal have played in the top division, without relegation, for longer than any other team. Arsenal are also the only team to play a full Premier League season without losing (2003-04), and are only the second team to play a full season without defeat in the history of top division, English football (the other team was Preston in 1888-89!)
Arsene Wenger joined Arsenal in 1996 and now that Alex Ferguson has retired is the longest-serving manager in the Premier League.
Wenger has won 3 Premier League titles, 6 FA Cups and reached 2 European finals with Arsenal. Many people see Arsene Wenger's teams as having a purist approach with an emphasis on attack and teams that always try to entertain. In March 2014, Wenger took charge of his 1000th game with Arsenal, only Ferguson has managed more Premier League games.
"I don't look at the passport of people but at their quality and their attitude." Arsene Wenger
Although Arsenal's home games at the Emirates Stadium sell out, only a tiny proportion of Arsenal supporters ever go to an Arsenal game. This is because the club has about 27 million fans around the world. There are supporters groups everywhere from Liberia to Hong Kong.
In 2015/16, Arsenal finished 2nd in the Premier League, and qualified for the Champions League for the 19th consecutive season. They also won the FA Cup for the second year in a row, when they beat Aston Villa 4-0 in the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium. 'The Gunners' top scorer was French international Olivier Giroud, with 16 goals. With players like Alex Sanchez, Santi Cazorla, Mesut Ozil, and Giroud, Arsenal have a strong attacking team. They also have one of the Premier League's best ever goalkeepers in Petr Cech, but it might be the signing of Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany that gets them challenging at the top of the table this season. Arsenal have had difficulties in defensive midfield for a few seasons and maybe Xhaka, a Swiss international, will help in the middle of the pitch.
Prediction 2016/17: 6th
Key player: Alexis Sanchez
Did you know....?
At the end of the 2003-04 season, Arsenal became known as, 'The Invincibles' because they hadn't lost a single game!

* TSX up 79.12 points, or 0.52 percent, at 15,417.59 * All of 10 main index sectors advance * Couche-Tard gains on move to buy Sinopec Sales stake By John Tilak TORONTO, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index touched its highest level in more than two weeks on Tuesday as positive U.S. economic data helped drive advances in every major sector. Data showed a rebound in U.S. housing starts in July, while a moderate increase in consumer prices suggested the Federal Reserve has room to keep interest rates low for a while. Investors also awaited the release of minutes from a recent Fed policy meeting to look for clues about when the central bank could raise interest rates. The Toronto market was up for a fourth straight session, taking its gains for the year to more than 13 percent. "This is typical. We had a little bit of a selloff, and now people have jumped back into the market, more empowered," said David Cockfield, managing director and portfolio manager at Northland Wealth Management. "It's a tug of war between the bulls and the bears," he added. Cockfield expects the TSX to correct itself at some point. "In the meantime, we're just going to bump along until something scares the market." The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 79.12 points, or 0.52 percent, at 15,417.59. All of the 10 main sectors on the index were higher. Financials, the index's most-heavily weighted sector, climbed 0.4 percent, with Royal Bank of Canada rising 0.4 percent to C$80.76 and Bank of Montreal gaining 0.9 percent to C$81.06. Shares of energy producers jumped 1.2 percent. Suncor Energy Inc added 1.2 percent to C$43.19, and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd advanced 1.3 percent to C$45.55. Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc climbed 3.4 percent, to C$31.93, after sources told Reuters that the retailer was among suitors short-listed to buy a $16 billion minority stake in China's Sinopec Sales, the world's largest fuel retail network.

Power Restored To Syracuse Neighborhoods
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) _ Fallen tree limbs are being blamed for a power blackout that left several thousand customers in Syracuse in the dark for more than three hours Thursday night. Large portions of the city's south side and most of the Syracuse University campus went dark around 6 p.m. National Grid crews patrolling the lines found the downed tree limbs on primary wires near the campus. Company spokesman Stephen Brady says the limbs caused a fault, which in turn caused breakers at a nearby substation to open, killing power. At the height of the blackout, National Grid reported more than 6,000 customers without power in Syracuse and about another 500 each in the towns of DeWitt and Onondaga. No injuries were reported despite the frigid cold.

Neithard Resa
Born in Berlin
Member since 1978-09-01
Prizewinner of the competition of the German Music Council (1978)
»I especially treasure in my work the stimulation that comes from the conductors, soloists and orchestral colleagues. I am happy to be able to be part of such an outstanding community.«
Neithard Resa began as a violinist, studying in his native Berlin with Michel Schwalbé and in Cologne with Max Rostal. While a student he occasionally helped out in quartet playing by taking the viola part, and noticed that the lower instrument simply suited him better physically. He also loved its sound and playing in the »middle« of a quartet or orchestra. So he switched over. After his concert exam he trained further in the USA with Michael Tree at Philadelphia's Curtis Institute. In 1978 he won a prize at the German Music Council competition and was made a principal viola of the Berliner Philharmoniker. In addition to playing in the orchestra he is particularly involved in chamber music. From 1980 to 1987 he played in the Philharmonic Octet, and since 1985 he has been a member of the Philharmonia Quartet. His hobbies are cinema, theatre, reading and hiking.

This paper considers the impact of the intellectual property (IP) system on the timing of cooperation/licensing by start-up technology entrepreneurs. If the market for technology licenses is efficient, the timing of licensing is independent of whether IP has already been granted. In contrast, the need to disclosure complementary (yet unprotected) knowledge, asymmetric information, or search costs may retard efficient technology transfer. In these cases, reductions in uncertainty surrounding the scope and extent of IP rights may facilitate trade in the market for ideas. We employ a dataset combining information about cooperative licensing and the timing of patent allowances (the administrative event when patent rights are clarified). While pre-allowance licensing does occur, the hazard rate for achieving a cooperative licensing agreement significantly increases after patent allowance. Moreover, the impact of the patent system depends on the strategic and institutional environment in which firms operate. Patent allowance seems to play a particularly important role for technologies with longer technology lifecycles or that lack alternative mechanisms such as copyright, reputation, or brokers. The findings suggest that imperfections in the market for ideas may be important, and that formal IP rights may facilitate gains from technological trade.

The Beauty of Summer
I've been thinking about this recently. There is a division among people here in RVA. There are those of us who enjoy mid-seasons and those of us who enjoy the transitions, as in from one season to the next. As for me, I tend to fall into the latter. But for those who enjoy the mid-season (or in this case, the still-newish start of a season), then this week's World Music Show (6/28/14) is for you.

Braves 3, Diamondbacks 0: Julio Teheran struck out 10 over six scoreless innings and Andrelton Simmons homered as host Atlanta handed Arizona its first shutout of the season.
Teheran (6-4) limited the Diamondbacks to four hits and one walk, and Luis Avilan and Jordan Walden bridged the gap to Craig Kimbrel, who worked around a one-out walk in the ninth to finish off the four-hitter and record his 23rd save.
Arizona starter Randall Delgado (0-2) was the tough-luck loser, allowing two runs on eight hits over six innings. The former Braves right-hander, who was acquired in the deal that sent Justin Upton to Atlanta in January, struck out three and walked three.
Upton's RBI single up the middle put the Braves on top in the first, and Delgado settled down and kept Atlanta off the board until Simmons' blast leading off the fifth.
The Braves pushed home an insurance run in the eighth as Reed Johnson got down a safety squeeze to score Dan Uggla. Jason Heyward, B.J. Upton and Uggla each had two hits for Atlanta.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Braves retired No. 10 in honor of Chipper Jones in a pregame ceremony. Jones is the 10th player to have his number retired by the franchise. … Atlanta CF Jordan Schafer was a late scratch from the lineup because of a sore right ankle from fouling a ball off it Wednesday at Kansas City. … Arizona activated 3B Eric Chavez from the disabled list and designated 1B Eric Hinske for assignment.

(From USA Today, June 26, 2014)
Sometimes in the midst of trying to complete all of our graduation and major requirements, we forget that there might be some breathing room for extracurricular courses. There are definitely some classes that should be required and that everyone should have under their belts as part of their college education.
Some of these classes are just interesting and should be taken for a different point of view or material base, but some teach useful life skills that everyone should know, but don't always get a chance to learn.
1. Finance/Accounting/Business Management
These types of classes teach practical skills for managing businesses and finances (including paying taxes). These are skills that everyone should have, but people who are not majoring in these types of subjects or economics usually don't think to sign up for these classes and therefore never learn important life skills.
2. Communication
In these kinds of classes, you learn how to better communicate your message and why people choose to communicate or advertise their messages in a certain way. Comm classes are interesting and relatable, especially if you plan to go into a job that requires constant interactions with others or even speaking to a large group.
3. History/Art History
History and art history are important topics because they explain how and why events happened in the past (duh) but they also help prevent certain events for the future. It is important to have a grasp on history because it is a constant topic of conversation, especially in current events and world news and can also give you an insight and understanding into cultures that are foreign to you. Art History is also useful because it lends a perspective into someone's mind as well as the sociopolitical climate at the time an image was created, and therefore can be very informative.
4. Sociology
Learn about why people do certain things or behave in certain ways. Learn about the human mind and human interactions so that you are prepared and you understand certain mental disorders or behaviors as well as relationships between humans. It is not only an extremely captivating subject, it will help you understand the human mind as well as help you deal with problems that you may face yourself or when working with others.
5. Computer Science
This is one of the practical ones more than interest but it is definitely a good one to take in this day in age. This type of intro-level class will help you understand different types of computer technologies that will make you a skilled and valuable employee in your future. Understanding the ins and outs of the most recent technologies and applications on computers as well as learning simple web design will help you greatly as computers are such a large part of work in today's society.
