Sol A. Shenk, 83, Merchandiser Who Built a 700-Store Empire
By JOHN HOLUSHA
Published: September 1, 1994
Sol A. Shenk, who built a single surplus outlet in Columbus, Ohio, into the Consolidated Stores Corporation, an empire with more than 700 stores and annual sales of $1.1 billion, died yesterday in Columbus, his hometown. He was 83.
The cause of death was a heart attack, said Brady Churches, the company's president.
Mr. Shenk was best known for his purchase of the remains of DeLorean Motors, the automobile company founded by the former General Motors executive John Z. DeLorean.
When DeLorean Motors filed for bankruptcy in 1982, Mr. Shenk bought the remaining stocks of the exotic-looking cars with the stainless steel exterior and as many spare parts as he could find.
"We bought about 2,500 cars and 150 trailer loads of parts and sold every one of the cars," Mr. Churches said. "We sold about half of them to car dealers and retailed the other half."
The DeLorean was not Mr. Shenk's only encounter with a car with upward-opening doors known as "gull wings." In the mid-1970's he bought what remained of the company that manufactured the Bricklin sports car and apparently did something that neither Mr. DeLorean nor Malcolm Bricklin had been able to do: make money by selling parts to car owners.
Mr. Churches said the company that would become Consolidated Stores was founded in 1967 by Mr. Shenk, who bought odd lots of merchandise from production overruns, bankruptcies and overstock and sold it through the store in Columbus. As the business grew, he bought and sold vans, jeeps, office equipment, Veg-o-Matics and stocks of car parts, adding stores along the way.
Today the company, based in Columbus, operates stores with names like Odd Lots, Big Lots, All for $1 and It's a Deal.
Mr. Shenk tried to start a cable television home-shopping network in the Columbus area in 1988, but lack of response caused it to fold after a few months. "We had to sink a lot of money into it or get out, and he decided not to be in the television business," Mr. Churches said. "He was a little ahead of his time."
Mr. Shenk retired as chairman of Consolidated in 1989 but retained the title chairman emeritus. "He still came and visited," Mr. Churches said. "He had a caretaker attitude toward the company."
Mr. Shenk is survived by his wife of 56 years, Florence; his sons, Charles, Richard and William; his sister, Sarah Greene of Great Neck, L.I., and eight grandchildren.

On Nov. 15, 1966, two young couples from Point Pleasant, Roger and Linda Scarberry, and Steve and Mary Mallette told police they saw a large white creature whose eyes "glowed red" when the car headlights picked it up. They described it as a "flying man with ten foot wings' following their car while they were driving in an area of town known as 'the TNT area', the site of a former World War II munitions plant.
During the next few days, other people reported similar sightings. Two volunteer firemen who sighted it said it was a "large bird with red eyes". Mason County Sheriff George Johnson commented that he believed the sightings were due to an unusually large heron he termed a "shitepoke". Contractor Newell Partridge told Johnson that when he aimed a flashlight at a creature in a nearby field its eyes glowed "like bicycle reflectors", and blamed buzzing noises from his television set and the disappearance of his German Shepherd dog on the creature. Wildlife biologist Dr. Robert L. Smith at West Virginia University told reporters that descriptions and sightings all fit the Sandhill Crane, a large American crane almost as high as a man with a seven foot wingspan featuring circles of reddish coloring around the eyes, and that the bird may have wandered out of its migration route. There were no Mothman reports in the immediate aftermath of the December 15, 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge and the death of 46 people, giving rise to legends that the Mothman sightings and the bridge collapse were connected.
Popular Culture
- Mothman is in Lost Tapes.
- A brief appearance of Mothman was seen in "The Mothman Prophecies".
- Mothman appeared as an antagonist in the SyFy television film "Mothman".

Project Timelord: Kubuntu to Become Even Better
Kubuntu isn't as good as it could be. That was the conclusion developers came to after version 9.10 was released. Project Timelord should now address that concern.
The current announcement on the Kubuntu homepage didn't sound much like a celebration of the Kubuntu 9.10 launch:
"Through intense self-reflection, it has come to the attention of several Kubuntu developers that Kubuntu is not currently reaching its full potential. Whether due to major architectural changes in the software stack, the usage of certain Ubuntu technologies or limited developer time, we have realized that deep changes must occur."
Reasons for the rather downcast tone are primarily problems with bugs and translations. The Kubuntu team maintains not only the official KDE translations in the distro but translations of Kubuntu tools that aren't strictly part of the KDE project. The same goes for bug reports, maintained in Launchpad, for bugs that the KDE project should actually be handling. How Ubuntu's own tools (such as Ubuntu One, which has no KDE client up to now) contribute to the mood isn't clear from the announcement. What the complaint seems to come down to is "too few developers for too much work."
To produce a better Kubuntu for the upcoming LTS version 10.04, the developers are therefore engaging in a new project called Timelord. More developers plus quality maintenance should result in better software. The comprehensive PDF document with details of the project is on the people.ubuntu.com website. Those wanting to participate in what may become the second largest Ubuntu version can find details on the KubuntuContactUs page.

July 13, 2016 — A federal judge overseeing hundreds of Benicar lawsuits has pushed back the first trial dates until 2017.
The New Jersey Law Journal also reports that a list of 30 trial candidates has been narrowed down to 10.
U.S. District Judge Robert Kugler originally wanted the trials to begin later this year, but decided to give the parties more time to conduct depositions in Hawaii.
Judge Kugler oversees about 1,350 Benicar lawsuits in a Multi-District Litigation (MDL No. 2606) in federal court in New Jersey. Another 70 lawsuits are pending at the state level in Atlantic City.
The lawsuits include plaintiffs who had 10-20 diarrhea attacks per day, lost up to 100 pounds, became malnourished, or developed complications like cataracts and infections.
In July 2013, the FDA issued a Safety Communication to warn about the risk of sprue-like enteropathy from Benicar. The symptoms include frequent bouts of watery diarrhea, substantial weight-loss, and sometimes intestinal damage.
The FDA received 23 reports of sprue-like enteropathy in patients on Benicar. All of the patients improved when Benicar was discontinued. The problem is that symptoms of enteropathy resemble Celiac disease or a food allergy, which can delay diagnosis and increase the risk of permanent intestinal damage.
Do I have a Benicar Lawsuit?
The Schmidt Firm, PLLC is currently accepting Benicar induced injury cases in all 50 states. If you or somebody you know has been diagnosed with sprue-like enteropathy, you should contact our lawyers immediately for a free case consultation. Please use the form below to contact our Defective Drug Litigation Group or call toll free 24 hours a day at (866) 920-0753.
Attention Lawyers: We consider a referral from another law firm to be one of the greatest compliments. If your firm is interested in referring us a case or for us to send you a list of previous award judgments and/or average referral fees, please visit the Lawyer Referral section of our website.

After confirming the quality, the man slips it into his pocket and pretends to be intreasted in a different unrelated sex toy. Someone at the shop must have found it hilarious, as it has now made its way online here.

Cholesterol Drugs Warning Label
March 1, 2012 by staff
Cholesterol Drugs Warning Label, The Food and Drug Administration has added new warnings to the statin class of cholesterol-lowering drugs and one longstanding precaution has been removed.
New Safety Warnings for Statin Drugs
Anti-cholesterol medications such as lovastatin and simvistatin — classified as statin drugs — and combination medications such as Vytorin that include a statin component, will be required to include warnings about the potential risks of confusion and/or memory loss and elevated blood sugar levels, according to the FDA.
Both of these risks are considered to be small, reports the federal agency, and the confusion/loss of memory generally go away once the statin drug is discontinued. The slight risk of blood sugar levels being adversely affected may lead to the development of Type 2 diabetes.
Precaution Removed
For people taking statin drugs, it has long been recommended by the FDA they receive periodic liver function tests to prevent or detect serious liver injury. But the agency has determined that such injury is rare and unpredictable; the blood tests were not helpful in either detection or prevention of the condition.
The agency now recommends that a liver function test is performed before a statin drug is prescribed so that any concern about liver condition can be determined before initiating therapy.
Widespread Use of Cholesterol-Reducing Medications
MSNBC.com reports Lipitor leads the world in prescription sales of more than $130 million; Zocor was the second most frequently prescribed drug in the U.S. in 2010.
The popularity of the statin drugs among physicians and patients likely correlates to the fact that heart disease and stroke remain the leading causes of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Baby boomers and their seniors are a large portion of the statin-taking public, with more than 150,000 people under the age of 65 dying from cardiovascular disease in 2007, as reported by the CDC. Reducing cholesterol levels is an important factor in the prevention of both heart attacks and strokes.

Cody's Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole
Recipe by Hill Family
Cody is quite the cook and this is an easy bachelor item he makes for all of us on get-togethers!
Top Review by Kosher Kook 2
Excellent! I did substitute serrano peppers from my garden for the green chilies (what I had on hand) and my family and guests raved! Switched the crock pot to "keep warm" from low after about 6 1/2 hours, and it kept very nicely for late risers. I do recommend using a liner (oven bag works just as well) as any recipe similar to this will make clean-up a chore. Keeping the leftovers to construct breakfast burritos tomorrow. Thank you, thank you, Hill Family for sharing this recipe!

|    Defeat the boss - Battle! Sand Scorpion!
The Sand Scorpion can be a complete pain in the neck for the impatient gamer; however, a gold medal waits though with the proper technique.
The boss opens with a missile attack, which strikes near the center of the path. As such, following the line of rings and pearls will get you out of harm's away. Subsequently, one of the boss's claw will begin to glow, indicating it's about to slam into the ground. Run to the side of the screen opposite of the attacking claw to avoid it.
For the second phase of the battle, the boss will turn around and attack you with his eye, which is also his weak spot. Brake lightly when you see the eye lunge at you, to lure it away from its body, then when it retreats, jump in the air and perform a homing attack when the lock-on appears. Immediately after you attack, perform two more homing attacks in succession to quickly defeat the boss.

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your automobile. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days. When your Mercedes-Benz 250C rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants European styling in their automobile. Anyone who owns a Mercedes-Benz knows that when it comes to repairing their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do.
Plain and simple, your vehicle needs its axle shafts to move forward and backward.

"Whenever you give your wife advice, always begin by telling her how much you love her. Nothing will persuade her so well to admit the wisdom of your words as her assurance that you are speaking to her with sincere affection. Tell her that you are convinced that money is not important, that only thieves thirst for it constantly, that you love her more than gold; and indeed an intelligent, discreet and pious young woman is worth more than all the money in the world."
~ John Chrysostom, 349-407 A.D.
Download a sample of Keep the Faith: On Family & Sexuality
Abortion. Feminism. "Gay" marriage. Homosexuality.
These are the hot-button issues in the post-Christian, apostate, Western world. One by one, entire denominations are subscribing to these politically-correct sins that form the zeitgeist in the West.
Contemporary Christian music stars are endorsing homosexual marriage. Presbyterians, Anglicans, Lutherans, and Mennonites are ordaining homosexual clergy. At least one third of the world's population has been aborted since 1960, largely due to the feminist movement of the last century. Millions of young women from Christian homes are trained in feminism by universities across the country.
After the damage has been done by the false worldviews of humanism, existentialism, feminism, and sexual and gender autonomy, will there be any Christian churches and Christian families still standing?
Will anybody stand with the Apostles, the Apostolic Fathers, the Church Fathers, the Reformers, and the church of the ages on the most critical issues of the day? Who will keep the faith, and who will keep the commandments of God? These are questions of monumental import. May God use this little book to solidify the faith of many over the next century.
This volume contains quotations from Clement, Polycarp, Ignatius, Barnabas, The Didache, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Eusebius, Jerome, Augustine, Bede, Peter Damian, John Chrysostom, Martin Luther, William Tyndale, John Calvin, John Knox, Richard Baxter, William Gouge, John Wesley, and others.

|Hantei Bosai
|Emperor of Rokugan
Hantei Ningi was the second child and first son of Hantei Genji, and was regarded as a brilliant man and the first mortal Emperor. [1]
Reign Edit
It was under his reign that the Imperial Court and the Emerald Champion fashioned in the way it was known for centuries, marking the beginning of a truly unified empire. [1] He also established the first code of laws in the Empire and the system of land ownership (all land belonged to the Emperor). [2]
Decree Edit
It was Hantei Ningi who decreed that peasants were to be banned from bearing weapons. [3]
Togashi Kaze Edit
In 268 [4] Ningi summoned the Dragon monk named Togashi Kaze and ordered him to show his unarmed fighting style known as Kaze-Do. As his techniques were only for peasants, because the peasants weren't allowed to carry weapons, Kaze refused and Ningi ordered the Emerald Champion to execute Kaze. When Emerald Champion Doji Kuzume refused to execute Togashi Kaze and committed seppuku the Emperor temporarily elevated Lion Clan Champion Matsu Noshin to the position and ordered him to execute Kaze, which he did. [5] [6]
Tenjin Edit
Ningi commanded to execute Akodo Tenjin, a poet who wrote a story that he found offensive. Thereafter disease and pestilence fell on the Imperial Court, so the Emperor begged the spirit of Tenjin for forgiveness and elevated him to the Fortune status. [7]

His work has appeared in Timothy McSweeney's Internet Tendency, n+1, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Buzzfeed, The Morning News, The Awl, and New York magazine. Strange Boat is his second novel. His first novel, This Is Your Captain Speaking, was published in June 2012. He lives in New York City with his wife and sons.
Strange Boatby Jon Methven
Jon Methven's Strange Boat is the story of Danders Wake, a man raising money to build a new planet. The current world is evolving him outof his home, his job, his religion, his marriage, his sexuality, even his dream of inventing the world's first pay-for-toilet business, known as Swanktrines. As a member of Manhattan's high society culture, at first the planet fundraiser is conceived by Wake as a means for him to get his hands on his rightful inheritance, which is stuck in escrow so that he does not sink it into his toilet business. But the planet fundraiser is very literally a bigger project, and becomes the grander goal of a man fighting for hope over hopelessness, and a dream for a civilization that refuses to put aside its differences and distractions in order to save itself from . . . well, itself, or perhaps a really big rock heading its way.
The story is told in the first person plural, by the we" members of a government agency known only as Division: Homeland meets The Office. Their job is to sit in vans outside of supposed fraudulent charities that are raising money for dubious activities, like building a planet.
Strange Boat is a literary and comic take on a growing fascination that our culture has for space travel, the space industry, trips to Mars, survival, and escapism. The novel deals with the insanity, speed and ferocity of modern life and the desperate attempts that we all may make to get away. (Note on the title: It comes from a song, Strange Boat" by The Waterboys. The lyrics: We're sailing on a strange boat. Heading for a strange shore. Carrying the strangest cargo that was ever hauled aboard.")

Congressman Leonard Lance (NJ -07) today released the following statement following House passage of the student loan compromise:
"The Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act reflects the policies and priorities of the House by providing a long-term, market-based solution that lowers and caps interest rates for all students. It provides student borrowers and their families with the financial certainty they need to plan for the costs of higher education.
"And the agreement is fiscally conservative by reducing the deficit by $715 million over the next decade. This bipartisan compromise is a victory for students, parents and taxpayers alike.
"But there is still more work to be done. We must address ever-increasing tuition rates. It is my hope that Congress will closely examine the issue of college affordability in the same bipartisan spirit so that we can make sure that higher education attainable for the next generation."

Nixon's Return to China
Shortly after his resignation in the wake of the Watergate scandal, former US President Richard Nixon returned to China, where he received the red carpet treatment
On December 31, 1975, an aged and seriously ill Mao Zedong received Julie and David Eisenhower, the daughter and son-in-law of Richard Nixon, at the luxurious Zhongnanhai compound, the lakeside residence for paramount Party leaders located at the heart of Beijing.
"I am waiting for your father." Mao told them.
Incumbent President Gerald Ford, the man who replaced Tricky Dicky, had just departed the Chinese capital Beijing after a four-day visit. No further progress had been made in Sino-US relations. The Soviet Union, which had inadvertently brought China and the US together through mutual enmity in 1972, had suddenly re-emerged as an obstacle to a deepening of ties.
In July 1975, the US and the Soviet Union inked the Helsinki Accords, signaling a long-awaited thaw in relations between the two superpowers at the heart of the Cold War. This was not good news for Beijing, which felt the chance of US cooperation in creating a counterbalance to the perceived military threat of Soviet troops along its Northern border slipping away.
A displeased Chairman Mao, who had made no secret of his preference for US-China rapprochement over dealing with the Soviet Union, came up with a surprising move – inviting the disgraced Nixon to return to China, a blatant snub of his successor Ford.
Excessive Hospitality
After resigning the Presidency in 1974, Nixon had remained close to the Chinese leadership that had opened their arms to him during his historic first visit in 1972, which established formal relations between the US and the People's Republic of China for the first time.
Days after Nixon left the White House, he received a telegram from Premier Zhou Enlai, who expressed his best wishes and extended an invitation to return to Beijing.
Two months later, while Nixon was hospitalized with phlebitis, Mao telephoned him in person to reiterate the same invitation. Rumor had it that Mao was sympathetic to Nixon, who he perceived as having been unfairly maneuvered out of power following the Watergate scandal.
"They've made too much fuss over the Watergate affair. Please write to Nixon and tell him I miss him a lot," Mao told Thai Premier Kukrit Pramoi during a meeting in July 1974.
Huang Zhen, director of the China Liaison Office in Washington, DC, was sent to visit Nixon at home in late August 1975, to reiterate the urgency of accepting Mao's invitation. The Chairman, suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease, was in increasingly poor health, and while this information was being kept from the public, few in Zhongnanhai expected him to live for many more years.
Nixon called Henry Kissinger, who had remained Secretary of State, to express his wish to visit China in September if Gerald Ford did not oppose it. Kissinger advised him not to visit China until his successor had, advising Nixon that to jump the gun might look like an attempt to meddle in international relations.
When his daughter, who traveled with the Ford delegation, brought back another invitation from Chairman Mao, Nixon readily accepted. Overjoyed, Mao ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to receive Nixon as a head of state, even dispatching an official plane to bring the former president to Beijing. According to Zhu Xianda, then chief of protocol of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, such a deviation from protocol had occurred only once before, when the president-elect of Mozambique, Samora Moisés Machel, was brought to Beijing in a Chinese plane in 1975 because his administration could not afford to send its own plane.
Zhu was a member of the Nixon welcoming committee assembled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and accompanied the plane, a Boeing 707 just like Nixon's Air Force One, which was equipped with a kitchen and two staterooms for Nixon and his wife.
On February 6, 1976, State news agency Xinhua announced that Nixon would arrive on the 21st of the same month. Ford was only notified of the visit a day earlier.
The timing could not have been more sensitive, given that Ford was campaigning for reelection and would square off in the New Hampshire Republican primary against Ronald Reagan that same month. The US media, meanwhile, honed in on the politics of Nixon's visit, and Ford's inability to rein in the actions of his predecessor.
Nixon, meanwhile, was intractable. As he topped the staircase leading onto his luxuriously appointed Chinese plane, he turned and flashed reporters his trademark grin, last seen as he boarded the helicopter that would escort him from the White House.
However, once aboard, according to political consul Qian Dayong of the China Liaison Office, Nixon simply took his seat and spent most of the flight staring out of the window, his brow furrowed. Not even the extravagant appointments, or the stewards' resolutely referring to him and his wife as Mr and Madam President, could bring Nixon out of his reverie.
The plane landed in a freezing Beijing at 8 PM on February 21, with the newly-appointed premier - and Mao's anointed successor - Hua Guofeng, on the tarmac to greet Nixon, though the Party had spared him the honor guard he had viewed on his last visit.
His private audience with Mao lasted one hour and 40 minutes. The Chairman had given Ford two hours.
In a speech delivered during his visit, Nixon said that it was "naive" to believe that the mere act of "signing statements of principle" could ensure lasting peace. This was interpreted as criticism of President Ford's support for the Helsinki Accords, though Nixon's office denied this claim.
After Nixon returned to the US, Charles Cross, the US Consul General in British Hong Kong, sent a telegram to the State Department to report on his talks with Fei Yimin, then president of Hong Kong-based pro-Beijing newspaper Ta Kung Pao. Fei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was usually seen as a spokesman for the mainland government.
Fei said that Beijing had "underestimated the reaction of the US people" to the former president's visit. He claimed that after it had "got the message," China had toned down Nixon's welcome – denying US journalists access to his plane, prohibiting a live US television broadcast of the visit, and also keeping American reporters away from the former President during various legs of his trip.
Fei reiterated four times that the US had "misunderstood China's attitude toward the Watergate scandal." He went on to talk down the political implications of a disgraced President visiting what remained officially a hostile foreign nation, insisting that Nixon was invited "out of respect" for his efforts to improve Sino-US relations. Fei jokingly added that he was "relieved" that President Ford had won the New Hampshire primary.
While this opaque quasi-apology didn't cut much ice with the American media, Qian Dayong, speaking to NewsChina, believes it was a sincere attempt to manage a delicate diplomatic situation.
Qian told NewsChina that Nixon had, off the record, agreed with Party leaders to establish official diplomatic relations between the US and China in his second term. When the Watergate scandal broke, however, the promise was out of the question, and Nixon would acquire a reputation as a corrupt, paranoid and inveigling figure while his successes in mending relations with China, not to mention his efforts to end the Vietnam War, would fade into the background.
Maintaining a public and seemingly intimate relationship with Mao Zedong did little to improve his image at home.
In November 1977, Gerald Ford was defeated at the ballot box by Jimmy Carter. Despite being both a Democrat and an ardent critic of the Nixon administration, when it came to China, the two men apparently saw eye-to-eye. It was during the Carter administration that the US tied official diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China - on New Year's Day, 1979.

I can't resist this but to post this conversatoin script here :
links http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/programmes/
Iriny: The main difference between Judaism and Christianity is on Jesus Christ. As christians, we believe that Jesus died for our sins on the cross, so that we no longer being separated (death) from our Creator and can enjoy the everlasting presence with our Creator.
Humphrys in Search of God
Sir Jonathan Sacks - broadcast interview
14 November 2006
John Humphrys: It's one thing asking a Christian leader or a Muslim to convert you to their faiths, as I've been doing these past weeks. It's quite another to ask a Jew. The Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks was quite happy to be interviewed for this series, but understandably enough he wanted to know exactly what we'd be talking about. I said "It's perfectly simple: you'll have half an hour to convert me to Judaism, to make me a Jew". He put his hand on my arm, gave me a rather sad smile and said "John I wouldn't dream of it, I'm sure you've got enough problems already."
Jonathan, I rather suspect you meant it.
Jonathan Sacks: Well I did. Judaism is a non conversionary faith and we do believe that you don't have to be Jewish to get to heaven, and we have some very powerful biblical examples of that. Abraham's contemporary, who the bible describes as "priest of the most high god", was not a member of the Abrahamic covenant - was not as we'd say today Jewish. So we do not believe that heaven is reserved exclusively for Jews.
John Humphrys: But you would like, presumably - I hope so, otherwise this programme has no meaning! - you would like to persuade me that God exists.
Jonathan Sacks: I would indeed. I think God is a human universal, and history shows that when people don't believe in God they believe in other things. I'm thinking about fascism, about communism, about idolatry, whether you worship the folk, the race, the economic or political system. One way or another, if you worship anything less than God, anything less than the totality of all, then you get to idolatry, which begins innocently enough but ends in bloodshed on an enormous scale.
John Humphrys: What you're saying then is that it is an essential mechanism, religion is an essential mechanism to deliver a moral code, and not necessarily anything more than that.
Jonathan Sacks: I believe as a Jew that God intrudes into the human situation by way of a call, a voice.
John Humphrys: To you personally?
Jonathan Sacks: To me personally yes, but that is not the important thing. The important thing is that that voice was heard by Abraham, it led him on a journey which gave rise in the fullness of time to Judaism, and indeed both Christianity and Islam trace their spiritual descent from Abraham, and therefore represents the faith of more than a half of the people on earth. And that particular call of God to which some cultures have been open and others have been tone deaf gave rise to a very distinctive civilization that I believe represents the truth about the human condition.
John Humphrys: How come Hitler was able to claim his belief in Christianity and do what he did?
Jonathan Sacks: Hitler was somebody who ultimately believed in race rather than in God. And idolatry happens when instead of allowing God to make you in his image you make him in your image.
John Humphrys: Is yours a merciful God?
Jonathan Sacks: Ours is a merciful God. Ours is the first God of mercy in the history of the human spirit and every book in the bible is saturated with that.
John Humphrys: Why would a merciful God have done to Abraham what he did to Abraham - faced him with that agonising dilemma, "Sacrifice your child if you believe in me"? Why would God have faced a human being with that wicked choice?
Jonathan Sacks: We know that child sacrifice was incredibly wide spread in the ancient world, we know that from every kind of archaeological evidence. Child sacrifice which is referred to many many in the Hebrew bible as the most abominable of all acts, was the kind of thing you expected a God to ask of you, it's what gods regularly asked for their devotees. The essence of the story of Abraham is that at the critical moment God says "Stop - I am not that kind of god".
John Humphrys: So he played with him, he was toying with him.
Jonathan Sacks: He was teaching him. I think you must have had pretty hairy moments when you were first learning to drive John, where your driving instructor slammed on the brakes and said "I did that just so you should learn exactly what would happen if you don't listen carefully". So God slammed on the brakes, it was the most effective way of all of history.
John Humphrys: So it was a stunt then?
Jonathan Sacks: No, it was a learning experience, John, which is what we all need. And it was the revolutionary moment at which God says I do not demand human sacrifices, I am not the god of the Greeks, of the Romans, of the Aztecs, I am the god that holds that life is holy, you must learn to cherish your children. And from the days of Abraham to today John, Jews are the most child centred of all civilizations, we live for our children.
John Humphrys: And the thing about children is that they ask the best questions. Yours is a questioning religion.
Jonathan Sacks: Yeah. There was an English newspaper once that did an expose of what they call "cash for questions" and I found that very droll because in Judaism you don't pay somebody to ask questions; on the contrary, you have to pay them not to ask questions. We are a questioning, argumentative and wrestling faith. The word Israel means one who wrestles with God and with man and prevails.
John Humphrys: And the question that children ask I suspect most often although I've never done a study of it, is a variation on why you tell me God is a God of mercy, why does he allow these terrible things to happen, the oldest question of them all probably.
Jonathan Sacks: To my mind faith lies in the question; if you didn't have faith you wouldn't ask the question. If I did not believe in a just and law-abiding God, I would not find injustice and human suffering worthy of question whatsoever. After all the universe, if it has no God, is utterly indifferent to my existence, it's blind to my hopes and deaf to my prayers. So if I have no faith I can't ask the question. Faith is in the question. That question that you've just asked me is the question Abraham asked God, and Moses, and Jeremiah and Job. And it is the refusal to give an easy answer is in Judaism the essence of faith. God says "if you knew why this suffering happens you would live with it, you would accept it as the will of God. I don't want you to accept it as the will of God, I want you to go out there and heal the sick, feed the hungry, tend those who are injured. I want you to be", in that wonderful and very distinctive Jewish phrase, "my partners in the work of creation". So Judaism is in the question, not in the answer.
John Humphrys: I have to say that if I asked a politician what he regarded as a very difficult question and he said to me "That is the most difficult question, and if I give you the answer it will destroy your faith in the political system, in the democratic process. It's very important that that question not be answered", I'll think "hello, he's having me on here, here's a political answer for you".
Jonathan Sacks: No, you would think a politician was trying to evade the issue...
John Humphrys: I would.
Jonathan Sacks: ...but if your teacher in school gave you the same answer...
John Humphrys: I'd think the same.
Jonathan Sacks: ...you would understand that your teacher is challenging you by saying "I'm sorry John I can't answer you that, you would have to live with that".
John Humphrys: He or she would, choosing not to answer it, you are saying that that question is capable of being answered.
Jonathan Sacks: It is perfectly capable of being answered.
John Humphrys: Well answer it.
Jonathan Sacks: But if we answered it we would not be what God wants us to be. Let me, if I can explain, a parent of a baby who is ill, who is crying, gives that baby some medicine even though it knows that baby's going to cry even more, because it knows that suffering in the short term is justified in order to make the baby better in the long term. If we take those stances the suffering is in the short term is necessary for good in the long term, we would accept suffering as God's will, God does not want us to accept suffering as his will, God wants us to fight suffering. Judaism is God's call to us to accept responsibility.
John Humphrys: For what?
Jonathan Sacks: For creating a social order that does honour to the human person as God's image, that is the great challenge of creating the just and gracious society.
John Humphrys: But if God is omnipotent why did he not simply say "Here is this perfect structure that you can go off and inhabit and worship me"?
Jonathan Sacks: John, you are a father. Why didn't you say to your child "Here it is, this is what life is, what you've got to do is go and do exactly what I've told you and you'll be happy and I'll be happy"? Because you know that your child is not going to grow into an adult unless you give that child the space to make mistakes and to learn by it.
John Humphrys: That's true but you're missing out a crucial fact in the relationship between father and child, and that is that we, and you're a father as well, will do anything - anything at all - to prevent our children suffering.
Jonathan Sacks: Yeah of course.
John Humphrys: I wouldn't say "Go off, try it, it may end up with your painful death".
Jonathan Sacks: One hundred percent.
John Humphrys: I wouldn't say that.
Jonathan Sacks: Judaism if I may explain something which is very hard for a western mind to grapple with, sees truth as set in time. A child aged five and a child aged twenty five are not the same people. And so in the very early years of childhood a parent is much more protective of children than he is when they're twenty five. And so we find in the bible at the very childhood of the Jewish people God intervenes to rescue them, he rescues them from slavery, he takes them out Egypt, he leads them across the red sea, he does miracles, he gives them water to drink and food to eat. He is a very protective father.
John Humphrys: And he abandons them.
Jonathan Sacks: No he doesn't at all abandon them, God has not at all abandoned us to this day.
John Humphrys: He let the Holocaust happen.
Jonathan Sacks: I am sometimes asked where was God in Auschwitz.
John Humphrys: And you say where was man in Auschwitz?
Jonathan Sacks: And I answer as follows: God was in Auschwitz in the command "thou shalt not murder", in the words "you shall not oppress the stranger", in the words "your brother's blood cries to me from the ground". God was saying those things to the German people and they didn't listen. I cannot let human beings off the hook by blaming things on God; if I do then I'm betraying the mission that he sent me and sent all of us. We cannot escape from responsibility;
Judaism is God's call to responsibility.
John Humphrys: Why do you pray?
Jonathan Sacks: I pray because prayer is my conversation with the voice within that is also the voice beyond.
John Humphrys: But is there, as Christians believe, a personal god who knows, spots when every sparrow falls, and knows when you get on your knees at ten o'clock in the evening?
Jonathan Sacks: Yeah of course.
John Humphrys: He's listening to you.
Jonathan Sacks: God is listening to me in a much more direct way in Judaism than in Christianity, because in Christianity you pray through a son of God, in Judaism we talk directly.
John Humphrys: You cut out the middle man.
Jonathan Sacks: We cut out the middle man, exactly so.
John Humphrys: And you believe he is listening to you.
Jonathan Sacks: I have no doubt about it.
John Humphrys: Why does he not listen to the starving, to the sick, to the mother whose child is dying of cancer, to the people in Auschwitz.
Jonathan Sacks: I've told you we do not live in the age of God the strategic intervener.
John Humphrys: So he's given up on that stage.
Jonathan Sacks: He hasn't given up on us at all. When I found myself in a difficult situation when my late father did not intervene to help me out of it, I did not believe that my father didn't exist. Many years later I realised that he was teaching me there are certain things I just have to learn for myself.
John Humphrys: But if you had asked you father to do something that was crucial to your survival, or if you'd asked your father to do something that might have prevented someone else suffering, you'd have expected him to respond and do everything he could.
Jonathan Sacks: God always responds, not always as fast as we would like, not always in the way we would expect, but God does respond. There have been times, I've known them certainly, I've felt metaphorically as if I were drowning and God has stretched out his hand and saved me, I have no doubt about whatsoever.
John Humphrys: Well then it takes me back to the question that I ask incessantly, possibly boringly, which is: if he did that for you, why, unless he's a very discriminatory type of God, does he not do it for everyone who sincerely wants help? And heaven knows the mother whose child is dying sincerely wants help and may well be a person of great faith. Why choose Jonathan Sacks?
Jonathan Sacks: John I think we know enough about science today, we probably always did, to know that a physical universe without collision, destruction, cannot exist. I mean we are...
John Humphrys: God can create anything.
Jonathan Sacks: ...we are the dust of exploded stars. If those exploded stars had not exploded we wouldn't have an earth, and you and I wouldn't be here.
John Humphrys: And God ordered then do so.
Jonathan Sacks: God places us in a context, a physical context in which there is birth and growth and decline and death.
John Humphrys: Twenty years ago I went up to Lockerbie on that terrible night when the Pan Am aircraft was blown up and the bits fell on Lockerbie, some bits fell on houses and some bits fell on fields, those people who were in the houses were killed. And the thing that struck you walking around that ghastly evening was the entirely arbitrary nature of it, number 17 survived, number 21 did not survive. It seems to me that the God you're describing is a very arbitrary dispenser of justice and fairness and not a dispassionate merciful God.
Jonathan Sacks: You're operating on the wrong image to begin with. God has set us in a physical world in which physical happenings can be random. Now there are faiths that do not believe that, but I do believe that, that's a condition of physical existence. I cannot believe in God the creator of the physical world, and at the same time have a view about the physical world that makes every phenomenon of physics or biochemistry, the intentional and interventionist act of a God who is doing everything. God is a remote cause not a proximate cause. And if you find the randomness of that really challenging then John you have more faith than you think you have. Because actually you want to believe in a just world, and that is the first movement of faith, the belief that what we do on this earth is not insignificant, that there is such a thing as a moral purpose to a universe. And what I'm really trying to distinguish is the question why did this happen, for which I don't have an answer. And the question what then shall I do, for which I have a very clear answer.
John Humphrys: Scientists operate on the assumption that nothing can be believed or be expected until has been proven, there must be proof. And I've noticed reading what you've written that you have a huge respect for science, you're an intelligent man.
Jonathan Sacks: It's really good for describing things, it's not at all good at describing people.
John Humphrys: Well all right. Scientists say that until it has been proven, not just to my satisfaction but until the experiment must be able to be repeated and repeated and repeated until we have absolute proof we cannot accept that. Now that is exactly exactly the opposite of the message that you have been delivering to me during this conversation. You're saying it cannot, none of this can be proven, we do not have the answers, you must simply believe it.
Jonathan Sacks: What you're doing John is keep repeating the same mistake which says religion doesn't fall within the canons of science therefore it must be faulty. I'm saying you're using the wrong metaphor, and that metaphor is not accidental it's been written into western culture ever since. The conversion of Constantine to Christianity and the fact that the first Christian texts were written in Greek and therefore we are, as a famous American philosophist said, a series of footnotes to Plato. I want you to think about faith not as a quasi or pseudo scientific proposition, I want you to think of it as a marriage. That's what happened at Mount Sinai, God married himself to a people, a people married itself to God and they agreed to go hand in hand together to an uncertain future.
John Humphrys: But God gave me the ability to question in the way I am questioning; you may not approve of that...
Jonathan Sacks: Jews always approve of questions.
John Humphrys: ...but you keep telling me that I'm basing them on a fundamentally mistaken premise. If that is so and it's the best I can do, and God knows I have tried over the past few years to find a way of approaching this that takes me to where you are. I see people like you like Rowan Williams and many other religious leaders and I think gosh they've got something I haven't got. It's like the kid who sees another kid with a bigger lollypop.
Jonathan Sacks: No it isn't like that at all. It's like somebody who's tone deaf who comes across a bunch of people who are dancing and can't quite figure it out.
John Humphrys: I'll accept that, doesn't much matter, but either way I'm made in God's image, I've been give this ability too. But how is it that you, except of course it's slightly difficult here because you are one of God's chosen.
Jonathan Sacks: No no that's not the key thing, if I may say the following. My late father loved music, loved classical music, he used to play the violin as an amateur, he loved it. I was tone deaf to classical music, I really was.
John Humphrys: I have a musician son, I know exactly what you mean, who who loves Bach beyond everything and can play it beautifully.
Jonathan Sacks: So my dad you know didn't let up, and he thought look if we're not going to get him on the subtle stuff let's get him on the big bangs and the clash of cymbals. So he took me, I remember this time and time again, to hear Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture with full mortar effects, you know you've got the canons going off in the upper tiers of the Albert Hall and yeah it's exciting so he seduced me into music that way. Once I've been hooked I kept going, and eventually I discovered all the orchestral works, he loved Mahler, I discovered Mahler and I loved it to, but I kept going. And I arrived at that moment where I just discovered what spiritual depths there were in the late Beethoven quartets, now they never spoke to my father, but they spoke to me. But I couldn't have got there had he not made that initial starting gesture of saying come along and here some, don't just think you are destined to be tone deaf.
John Humphrys: So the metaphor is fine as far as it goes, but of course these don't go far enough because if we place God in the position of the father whom you describe, and I'm saying as I am look help me out here, I'm actually trying quite hard but I don't get that help from my Father/God, what am I to do.
Jonathan Sacks: I'll tell you very simply John, if I wanted to persuade you to become Jewish. The first thing I would do is take you to our old age homes, to our schools, to the ways that we really do try and make life better for people here on earth in simple no religious physical ways. Now if at the end of the day you said to me now what drives people to do that, I'd say okay lets now move to the second stage and I'd show you our prayer book. And I would show you that three times a day we remind ourselves that God lifts the foreman, heals the sick and asks us to do what he does and become his partners. And then slowly we would move inward, and maybe you would never get to a point where you could say 'yeah I really hear that presence speaking to me'. But I think you would have learned a little bit of a mystery that turned this very tiny people into people that made a disproportionate impact on the world.
John Humphrys: If I were to be sceptical about that, cynical about it, I'd say what a pity God didn't stop with your faith, what a pity that we have Christianity resulting from it, and then Islam resulting from it. Look at the wars between those various religions and the horrors that have been visited on humanity as a result of it. So why did God create all those competing religions.
Jonathan Sacks: I don't think he did at all. I think there is something in Christianity and Islam that I as a Jew cannot accept, much as I admire those faiths. They did say something that I find very difficult: that "God has now spoken to us and therefore he's torn up his promises to you", and that is why anti-Semitism came into the world. Christians were very disappointed that Jews didn't become Christians, and that is something I do not blame God for, for heaven's sake.
John Humphrys: You don't blame God for anything though do you, you can't blame God for anything can you?
Jonathan Sacks: God gives us life and the circumstances in which we can grow toward him. I do not believe that a blame culture is a terribly great culture. You remember Adam and Eve fancying the one fruit in the garden that they're not allowed to eat, and they ate it, they sinned. God said what did you do, I told you not to eat the fruit, so Adam said well it wasn't me it was her, and Eve said it wasn't me it was the serpent. Now blame is what makes you lose paradise.
John Humphrys: Am I selfishly entitled to feel disappointed that having had long conversations with three very serious thinkers there's been no blinding flash, there's been no road to Damascus, there's been no great revelation that says to me ah this will open the door for you to accepting faith.
Jonathan Sacks: Just try and listen to the music, it took me a long time after all those 1812 crashes and bangs to understand the Beethoven quartets, but I think the things is that I never gave up. And do you know what for four thousand years Jews have wrestled with God and God has wrestled with us, but we never gave up. Faith is the refusal to give up.
John Humphrys: Sir Jonathan Sacks, thank you very much.

A Paris couple have been arrested after the husband "hired out" his wife for sex to 2,742 different clients over a four year period.
According to Daily Mail, the 54 year-old man over £5000 a month through the suburban prostitution business. The business was run outside of their home, and while his 46 year-old wife met with clients, the husband sat outside in the car with the couple's 5 year-old daughter.
"The husband exercised a psychological power over his wife, preventing her from stopping submitting herself to the sexual needs of customers who were sometimes very tough," said prosecutor Emmanuel Dupic.
The couple have been married for ten years, and they were both arrested last Tuesday. The husband now faces a decade in prison on pimping charges, but he is currently free on bail.

Jackson Doctor Verdict
November 9, 2011 by staff
Jackson Doctor Verdict, The doctor convicted of manslaughter in Michael Jackson's death has called the "Thriller" singer a drug "addict" in a television interview that will air on morning talk show "Today" this week.
Dr. Conrad Murray, who now sits in a Los Angeles jail awaiting sentencing for involuntary manslaughter, spoke to NBC News journalist Savannah Guthrie before the verdict was returned at his trial Monday. The interview will air in two parts on Thursday and Friday on NBC's "Today" show.
The personal physician to Jackson never testified during his six-week trial stemming from the entertainer's June 2009 death of an overdose of the anesthetic propofol and sedatives.
Murray admitted to police that he gave Jackson those drugs as a sleep aid at the singer's mansion, but his attorneys argued the singer self-injected a fatal dose of propofol.
During the NBC interview, Guthrie asked the doctor if he was right to leave Jackson alone in his bedroom knowing he could self-inject the drug. Murray said he could not have foreseen that possibility.
"Had I known what I know today in retrospect, that Mr. Jackson was an addict, and he had shared that information with me, addicts may behave in a way that is unreasonable and you may consider it," Murray said in the interview.
Murray's attorneys had argued during his trial that Jackson was addicted to the painkiller Demerol that he received from another doctor in the weeks before his death, but they barely mentioned any possible addiction to propofol.
Jackson's family has denied that Jackson was addicted to Demerol, and an autopsy did not reveal any amount of that painkiller in the singer's system.
In the interview, Murray also suggested it could be acceptable to administer propofol in a home, despite testimony of doctors at his trial who said they would never do that. "I think propofol is not recommended to be given in the home setting, but it is not contraindicated," Murray told Guthrie.
Propofol expert Dr. Steven Shafer testified for prosecutors during the trial and disputed the defense's theory that Jackson had self-injected the drug. Instead, Murray likely set up an intravenous drip of propofol for Jackson that stopped his breathing, Shafer said.
Murray also defended the fact that he allowed over 20 minutes to elapse between the time he discovered Jackson had stopped breathing and when an ambulance was called.
"No one is allowed to come upstairs except for Mr. Jackson. His security is not allowed to enter the house," Murray said.
The physician first alerted the Jackson family chef, then called the singer's assistant, according to trial testimony.
