A Biblical perspective of UFO's, Aliens and Alien Abductions
The demonic connection to this phenomenon
Last updated June 30, 2012
Our position on UFOs and "aliens"
Reasons to believe demons and fallen angels are behind it
A message to our fellow Christians
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Matthew 24:24 (KJV)
When secular experts like those featured in the National Geographic's Chasing UFO's and the History Channel's Ancient Aliens series examine alleged UFO and alien contact incidents, they almost always do it from a purely scientific perspective. Looking for scientific explanations is a useful and necessary step that should always be taken. Science can often help investigators determine if it was a hoax, or if there are other logical, natural explanations for what was seen and/or heard. However, there are several reasons to be suspicious that at least some UFO and USO sightings and alleged alien contacts may be beyond the reach of scientific inquiry because they are spiritual in nature. Others may actually involve advanced technologies, but not from aliens from other planets. In both cases, they have their roots directly or indirectly in the demonic realm and their ultimate goal is to deceive us and cause us great spiritual harm.
Some modern day examples (other than UFO's and aliens) of large groups of people being deceived by demons showing great "signs and wonders" (as the Bible refers to them), include:
Marian apparitions (alleged appearances of Jesus' mother Mary involving messages and real miracles)
Attempts to talk to the dead or other spirits that result in actual spirit contacts
Our position on UFOs and "aliens"
Our position on this is pretty straightforward.
- Most UFO sightings can be explained either as mistaken identities of something else, or as hoaxes perpetrated by people. However, there is a smaller percentage of UFO and USO's (unidentified submerged objects), around 5%, that can be divided into these categories:
- real craft not of human origin, but not from "aliens" either
- real craft of human origin that are entirely human engineered (see this link)
- real craft of human origin that were designed by humans with possible knowledge from the demonic realm
- possibly some reverse engineered craft from recovered craft. However, the recovered craft are not from "alien" life forms
- demonic illusions (I am suspicious that the majority of this 5% of UFO sightings and most or all alleged alien abductions fall into this category)
The case for the existence of at least some real UFO aircraft (as opposed to demonic illusions) is a strong one. There is a popular misconception that only guys named "Bubba" who are drunk at the time see them. The reality is that they have been observed in recent times by fighter pilots from several countries, astronauts, commercial airline pilots, military security personnel, presidents, governors of states, air traffic controllers, hundreds of people at the same time in a particular city, and in one of the most intriguing cases I've ever heard of 62 school children in Zimbabwe. Of course in all these cases, witnesses and secular investigators attach an "alien" explanation to what was observed if they can't explain it any other way. In none of these instances do they even consider a possible demonic connection. Instead, they are falling prey to the lies that these alleged aliens care about us and are making contact with us for that purpose. For its part, the Christian church is mostly silent on these sightings and alleged abductions and seems content to remain blissfully ignorant about them regardless of the compelling evidence all around them that there is an explosive growth of this activity, and that a lot of it is coming from highly reliable witnesses.
For excellent examples of testimony by what appear to be mostly highly credible witnesses, watch these videos of witnesses uncovered by the U.F.O. Disclosure Project in front of audiences of international journalists at the National Press Club. Warning - there's a lot of left leaning propaganda during the the introductions and from some of the witnesses in some of the presentations at the National Press Club that I am in no way endorsing. The reason for putting a link to these videos on this page is because they provide one of the best opportunities I've seen so far to watch what appear to be highly credible witnesses (most of them) give their testimonies first hand. Keep in mind that these witnesses are all testifying in front of members of the National Press Club (www.press.org/about), an organization of professional journalists. They are an audience that has the knowledge and know how to verify at least some of what they are saying, including whether or not they are really who they say they are. The "I know what I saw" documentary, especially the Mercury astronaut who was an eye witness to a UFO that touched down on a military base right in plain view of him and several others on the base is also very compelling.
2001 presentation (1 hr 56 mins)
2007 presentation (1 hr 37 mins)
I know what I saw ( 1 hr 32 mins - History Channel documentary where many
witnesses from the 2007 meeting gave
follow-up interviews. Also many original
audio tapes of events, reenactments, and
other highly credible witnesses.)
2010 presentation (1 hr 28 mins)
You will most likely walk away from these four videos with the following thoughts:
- They are being seen by highly credible witnesses
- They have likely been engaged at times by fighter planes from various countries
- They do possess highly advanced capabilities that are far beyond what our known aircraft can do
- Very clear pictures and videos of them do exist, but are being hidden from the public
- The US government does have access to far more information than it claims it does, but is probably keeping it quiet in part to avoid causing widespread panic if they admitted that craft are flying around in our skies that we have little to no control over, and that there are intelligent beings who are far beyond our scientific capabilities.
What you will not see in any of these videos is even the slightest consideration that the demonic realm could be behind what is going on. You will not see any religious leaders from any religious group being interviewed. Even if the producers gave conservative Christian religious leaders the opportunity to explain whether or not the Bible sheds any light on what is going on, I suspect that few if any would have taken them up on their offer. If that is true, it is most unfortunate because it leaves the false impression that the Bible is silent on these issues when in fact it does not appear to be. It also allows the lost (non-saved) to totally control the public agenda, discussion and analysis, and gives the demonic realm unfettered access and control of nearly every source of information and analysis that there is on these topics. Our conservative Christian churches are tremendous sources of godly insights, inspiration, training and love in a lost world that badly needs their insights and leadership. Through the power of God, and the godly men who lead them, they are a tremendous blessing to their local communities and the nation as a whole in those ways that they choose to be involved. However, I am saddened to say that in my humble opinion, they are for the most part AWOL on this issue and are missing a huge opportunity to influence the debate in ways that a society hungry for answers needs them to be involved.
One category of UFO's mentioned above is the ones that probably have been created by humans. One example is the one created by Otis T. Carr, a protégé of famous inventor Nicola Tesla (click here for details). According to this 10 minute documentary, Tesla possessed scientific knowledge far in advance of his time. At least one of his greatest inventions appeared in his mind almost instantaneously. He suffered most of his life from "hallucinations" and other thoughts that tormented him. Several years ago I knew a man who was running a successful graphics art business. I saw some of his work which was amazing. I noticed that some of his work involved 3D images that had what appeared to be ancient hieroglyphics in them. I asked him about it and he told me he was able to read and write hieroglyphics literally overnight. After further probing, I learned that he had been in contact with eight "spirit guides" (what he called them). They each had a name, and some were more powerful than others. Even after I warned him he was in contact with demons or fallen angels, he insisted that he wanted to stay in contact with them because they were "helping" him so much with his business (see our Spirits link for more information about people who have contacts with spirits).
I see many similarities between the Nicola Tesla story and his. I'm not saying Tesla was definitely getting information from the demonic realm, but I am suggesting that given the tormented life he appears to have lead, the nature of that torment (very similar to known demonic harassment activity), and his amazing scientific insights, it's a possibility that should not be ruled out. He may very well have been able to understand the concepts of how to build a working flying saucer with that kind of help, and may have been experiencing demonic harassment or even possession. Because Tesla was such a major influence in the career of Otis T. Carr, it is reasonable to conclude that Tesla may have passed on to Carr the scientific knowledge needed to build a working saucer, and that it may have been knowledge that originated from demonic sources.
- The alleged "aliens" have almost certainly been involved in contacts with humans in the past and in the present going back thousands of years.
- In some cases, these creatures may be real biological entities who possess scientific knowledge far beyond our own. However, I recently read a lengthy article (8 chapters long) at this link that makes a fairly good case that they may all be the result of demonic trickery. The only weakness I saw in this article is that it didn't seem to adequately address this Bible verse, which does seem to suggest that fallen angels can indeed cause human women to have evil biological offspring:
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown. Genesis 6:4
"Sons of God" are fallen angels (angels kicked out of heaven along with Satan for rebelling against God). I still suspect most UFO and alien appearances are due to demonic trickery, but am not yet convinced that 100% of them are.
- They are 100% evil. They are not aliens from other planets. They have been here on Earth all along. They do NOT have our best interests in mind, and any suggestions they make to the contrary are a smoke screen intended to deceive us.
Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Revelations 12:12 (KJV)
- Their ultimate goal is to undermine the authority of the Bible and to distract the world away from the truths it contains. It would also appear that they may intend to use the cover story of ET's removing people from earth as an explanation for a possible rapture of Christians (their removal from Earth by Jesus prior to a 7 year tribulation period). They will pretend to be looking out for our best interests, and many of the biblically uninformed will accept their misleading messages.
- The reason they are being so evasive as far as highly visible appearances to the general public is concerned and are giving us only sneak peeks at this time might be because they a) are being restrained by God and b) are still in the process of preparing us so that the uninformed will welcome them as "aliens" from another planet when they do fully manifest themselves. At some point during the coming 7 year tribulation period, God's restraint will be lifted. Thanks to a long string of popular alien movies in which the alleged aliens are depicted as harmless and caring about us, and the recent efforts of programs like the History Channel's Ancient Aliens series, we are now much closer than we were years ago to the point of being ready to accept their misleading ET cover story (except for the Christians who know better).
- I have read enough alleged "alien abduction" stories to know without a doubt that those who aren't perpetrating hoaxes or who aren't having true psychological problems, are indeed having these experiences. Those who mock and ridicule them simply don't know what they're talking about. Secular (non Christian) psychologists and psychiatrists who attribute all of their experiences to some kind of mental problem are also clueless in my opinion when demonic activity is really what's behind it. I believe the abductees are being absolutely honest about experiences they've had, because what they are experiencing is in so many ways similar to other types of demonic harassment.
Alleged alien abductions rarely if ever occur with real Christians. People who claim to have had abduction experiences are frequently those who are involved in some occult activities, or who may have family members involved in those activities that have drawn the attention of demons into their homes. Some invite the abduction problem into their lives by actively seeking out opportunities to have contact with what they mistakenly believe are aliens. Sometimes its a generational thing passed down from ancestors involved in these activities. They are open to being deceived by demons because they probably are not saved, and have little to no protection from the only person who can protect them from this demonic activity, the God of the Bible. They are also normally not aware of the fact that in many cases they can stop the harassment by invoking the name of Jesus Christ and sincerely asking him to intervene on their behalf. Many will find out real quick who they're really dealing with when they do this because the true God of the Bible is the one person the demonic realm are absolutely terrified of.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
James 2:19 (King James Version)
We are born into this world on the losing side of a cosmic spiritual war. There is no neutral ground. You are either lost (you have not accepted Jesus as your savior) and working for Satan's cause by default, or saved and working for God's cause. The only way to get onto the winning side is by accepting Jesus Christ as your savior.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelations 12:7-9 (KJV)
- I have personally known or have had e-mail communications with approximately 50 people who were (or still are) having direct contacts with demons or fallen angels. They see and/or hear them while they are awake, in much the same way alien abductees see the various forms of alleged aliens (see our Spirits page for more info). I have been present with some of them when these incidents occurred. In 95% or more of the cases, they mistakenly believed they were communicating with "good" spirits, deceased relatives or friends and/or spirit guides. People who don't believe these things actually happen are very uninformed about this issue.
There are many similarities between what they are told by the demons that communicate with them and the messages alleged UFO abductees receive. The common thread is that in both cases they falsely claim to have good intentions and want the humans they contact to rely on them for guidance. I have two living relatives and two deceased ones who have been involved in a UFO cult for many years. As far as this cult is concerned, members normally are not directly contacted by demons as far as I know. However, at least two of my relatives involved in this cult have had past involvement in seeing demons (prior to their involvement with this cult) that they mistakenly believed were "good" spirits. The common thread among all three of these demon/human interactions is that the guidance the demons offer, whether it be through direct contacts or through cult materials, is always a distraction away from saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and to attempt to destroy the credibility of the Bible.
- The whole UFO/alien phenomena is part of a much larger web of deception from Satan, demons and fallen angels that includes evolutionism, relativism, political correctness, the various false religions, the world-wide Marian apparitions, UFO cults, etc.
- Those who have had abduction experiences can very often stop them by calling on Jesus Christ to help them. People being harassed by demons in other ways (i.e. spirit guides, alleged deceased relatives appearing to them, etc.) can do the same thing. See this link for more information.
- If in fact the true church is raptured off the earth by Jesus Christ in the near future, it would appear that the demonic realm is already gearing up to explain it to those left behind that UFO's took those who disappeared to get them out of the way. See this article for more details. As time permits, more articles will be added that support this contention.
- The Bible does appear to have a great deal to say about this phenomena, and that if it actually does, Christian leaders have an obligation to get themselves educated about what it actually says, and to share that knowledge with their congregations and communities in the same way they do any other Bible doctrines. The best source of on-line information I've been able to find so far is the audio series with accompanying PowerPoint presentations at this link titled "Alien Encounters". I am not endorsing everything he says, especially his speculation about a fourth dimension, but his Bible interpretation provides the best explanation from a Biblical perspective that I've seen so far from any other Christian on the matter. The best way to listen to this series on-line is to open up the PowerPoint presentation for the section you'll listen to, and follow along in it as you listen to the audio. They also sell an accompanying book and DVD at these links:
Alien Encounters book
Return of the Nephilim DVD
Reasons to believe demons, not aliens are behind some of it
Quotes from: Ancient Aliens "The Return" (2010) on The History Channel
Narrator: "What would happen after any potential extraterrestrial contact is open to much speculation. But most people concede one thing. The world as we know it would change dramatically."
Subsequent comments from Dr. Steven M. Greer, Director of The Disclosure Project: "The result would be that the fundamentalist orthodox belief systems of every organized religion on earth would collapse, meaning that it would really bring into question the origins of the human race, the Genesis stories, and a whole lot of other issues."
Here are several reasons to be concerned that some UFO and alien manifestations may be demonic deceptions. You can read more about several of them at the links below.
The number one reason to suspect demonic deceptions is that people who have cried out to Jesus Christ for help in the middle of an abduction experience have successfully stopped the abduction dead in its tracks. The exact same thing happens when people being visited by spirits that manifest themselves in other ways (women in flowing white gowns, children, etc.) challenge the spirit by demanding that they state their allegiance to Jesus Christ, and by calling on Jesus right then and there remove them. I have personally invoked this protection in the face of demonic harassment and it absolutely works! It works because Jesus gives us this promise:
And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21 (KJV)
Secular experts who have interviewed alleged "alien abductees" have publicly stated that abductees are normally unable to stop the abduction events. The notable exceptions that they won't publicly admit to are those who have called on Jesus to stop them, and were successful. See this link for some examples of this. That link is a mixture of personal testimonies of people experiencing both alien abduction and other types of demonic harassment. There is an excellent video streaming presentation from a man who has interviewed 400+ alien abductees. You will see several abductees being introduced who have actually stopped the harassment, including one woman and her husband who have appeared on many TV programs about their abduction experiences. None of the secular TV programs were honest enough to follow-up and tell their viewing audiences that this couple had ultimate victory through Jesus Christ over what they had previously thought were aliens they had no control over. I encourage you to spend an hour and watch this powerful presentation at this link. Scroll down and click on the presentation titled "Unholy Communion".
I recall a TV program a few years ago where a commercial airline pilot was interviewed about a UFO that he and his co-pilot observed. They said it came at them head on at very high speed. It passed very close to their plane, so close that they should have felt a strong jolt from it's shock wave. But they felt and heard nothing at all. The pilot was completely mystified as to how that could have happened. If it was a solid object, it should have been displacing air as it moved, and caused such a jolt to his aircraft. It should also have generated a sonic boom if it was super-sonic, but it didn't. If it was a spiritual manifestation, that would make perfect sense. In another case two Belgium F-16's gave chase to a UFO that was tracked at speeds faster than the speed of sound. Yet nobody on the ground heard a sonic boom (see this link for details). We're not suggesting that all of these types of incidents are the result of demonic deceptions. There may be valid scientific explanations for many of them (see this link). We are suggesting that in the study of the occult and demons, deceptive imagery produced by demons and/or fallen angels isn't an unusual occurrence, and that some of these incidents could be the result of this kind of trickery.
Another TV program featured two police officers in Belgium who had observed and followed a huge UFO in the sky for several miles. Finally, this huge object changed shape into a much smaller glowing white ball, then shot up quickly into the sky. You can see a TV report about this incident at this link. They seemed quite puzzled as to how it could have changed its shape into something so dramatically different. In a similar but different sighting, several military police officers observed an object break into five smaller pieces, fly at high speeds while making sharp right angles, and not show up on radar. You can read about this second incident at this link. If these were spiritual manifestations, all of these observations would make perfect sense.
The overwhelming majority of people who believe they've had actual contact with aliens are predisposed to believing in UFO's and aliens, making them more susceptible to demonic trickery. Especially vulnerable are people who belong to UFO cults like Urantia. For more information about why these people are so vulnerable to being mislead, see UFOs: The Hidden Agenda. Legitimizing these anti-Christian cults and their New Age doctrines may be one of the motives Satan and other demons have for engaging in these deceptions. All of these cults and New Age groups deny Jesus as our Savior. Many also deny the existence of Hell.
Many UFO's have been observed making sharp 90 degree turns and accelerating at rates that seem to defy the laws of physics. Some of these turns and acceleration rates would generate such high G-forces that it's unlikely that any biological living creature inside could survive. However, a spirit could easily do this. You can see a TV report about this incident at this link (second half of this report).
Many UFO's don't show up on radar. The existence of stealth aircraft could explain some of the sightings. However, it is also true that if it was a spiritual manifestation, it could choose to show up on radar one time, and not show up another.
UFO's are often seen moving at speeds far faster than the speed of sound. Yet I personally have never heard of a single instance where a sonic boom was heard.
In most cases, virtually no noise is heard emanating from the UFO. If it was in some cases a spiritual manifestation, that would make perfect sense.
I have seen only a few reports of aliens allegedly passing along messages that had some kind of a religious connotation. In virtually every case, the message contradicted the Bible on significant doctrines, and was consistent with some of the beliefs of some UFO cults and other New Age groups (for some examples, see this link).
There are strong similarities between what survivors of Satanic rituals experience and UFO abductees, a further indication that those who are behind both types of abuse are on in the same. See this link for a comparison.
I would not be surprised to turn on the news someday and see a report about a confirmed "alien" contact. If it were to happen, you can bet that at some point, these "higher beings" who are allegedly so much more "evolved" than us are going to start poisoning the spiritual waters with dangerous doctrines that are in direct conflict with the Bible. I'm not suggesting that open contact with an alleged alien will definitely occur. But if it ever does occur, the purpose will most likely be to lead people away from a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. It would also be consistent with the Biblical warning stated in the Bible verse at the top of this page.
We should also not be surprised if most scientists would be deceived by such an event. Most scientists today are atheists or agnostics. They have a predisposition to ignore spiritual explanations and would likely attempt to explain such phenomena in light of their materialistic, naturalistic philosophical biases. These are the same biases that cause so many of them to be deceived by the lies of evolution, and to ignore God's clear warnings about the Evolution myth.
For those of us who know that God's Word, the Bible is the truth, none of this should come as any surprise. It would be yet another example of a grand deception by Satan and his followers to lead the uninformed and unaware by the nose into the depths of Hell for all of eternity.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 1 Peter 5:8
In my opinion, the media needs to start including this possible spiritual explanation in its reports when it does stories about alleged UFO's and aliens. Additionally, the church needs to quit ignoring this issue and get much more active in warning and educating people about it.
A message to our fellow Christians
We want to encourage you to get serious about educating yourselves about this issue, and get busy dealing with it in your local churches. As a church, we largely sat on the sidelines and watched while Senator Lyndon Johnson (who later became president) introduced a bill that took away some of our free speech by telling us we couldn't get involved in political activities if we want to be tax exempt. We mostly stayed on the sidelines while the evolutionism myth went largely unchallenged in the public arena and grew in its acceptance even though God warned us many centuries ago that this myth would be prevalent in the last days. Even today many church leaders still do not recognize the damage that it has caused to the credibility of scriptures, and they foolishly continue to treat it as a back burner issue.
We are making the same mistakes with the UFO/alien phenomena. We are being viciously attacked by Satan and his allies and seem largely clueless about it. We waste precious time in our youth groups playing games and holding our youth to very low standards when we should be vigilantly watching what is happening in our world, and training them (and all the adults) how to effectively deal with these clever deceptions from Satan and his kind. In my opinion, we are becoming more and more impotent as effective ambassadors for truth as we continue to drift further away from the realities of the spiritual battles that confront us. It doesn't have to be this way.
The Lord is working behind the scenes and thankfully we can always count on his sovereign will to be influencing events. However, he also expects us to remain vigilant and to do our part in standing for the truth. If we cede our responsibilities to boldly proclaim God's truths to atheist scientists and the Satan controlled media (like the History Channel), how will those who are not saved through faith in Jesus Christ ever know the truth if we won't tell them? Why don't we already have a well coordinated response? Why are so many of these battles being fought almost exclusively by Para church organizations instead of the churches themselves?
Please do your God given jobs and get involved in this fight in a meaningful way. If you really claim to love those who are lost, then stop sitting on the sidelines or wasting time on busy work while they are being lead by their noses to their eternal spiritual slaughters by demonic influences they do not understand or in many cases don't even believe exist. We are in the last days. Let's stop wasting time and start fighting the good fight for our Lord, and for the lost who don't yet know the truth about these issues. Do you love them enough to inconvenience yourselves to get involved in this fight? I hope the answer for more of you will be "yes". Jesus first loved us when we were unlovable, and awash in sins against his pure and holy nature. Jesus was willing to die for us to pay for our sins because we could not pay the debt ourselves. We need to follow his example and show that same kind of love towards those who mock and hate us. If we don't get more active at speaking up for the truth in the public arena (not just inside our churches), then who will?

(UPDATED COVERAGE Jan. 31) As two Colorado cantaloupe growers begin probation for a deadly 2011 listeria outbreak, federal officials say they will move forward with new food safety rules and use their full power to enforce them.
Eric and Ryan Jensen, owners of Jensen Farms, Granada Colo., were the first growers to face this kind of criminal foodborne pathogen case. They each pleaded guilty in 2013 to six federal misdemeanors of introducing adulterated food into the supply chain.
A federal magistrate in Denver sentenced them Jan. 28 to each serve six months home detention and five years probation.
Other growers could face similar situations, based on a comment from Spencer Morrison, the Food and Drug Administration's acting special agent in charge of the agency's criminal investigation. Spencer assisted the U.S. Justice Department with its case against the Jensens.
The FDA will continue to use its powers to ensure food safety regulations and laws are followed, Morrison said in a statement issued by the U.S. Attorney's Denver office after the Jensens' sentencing.
The agency continues to stress prevention as its weapon of choice, however.
"At FDA our goal is to continue to move forward on the ... rules, so that we can work with farmers and industry to prevent tragic outbreaks like this from happening in the first place," said Doug Karas, public affairs specialist with FDA's Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation Network.
In addition to their home detention and probation, the Jensens must each pay $150,000 in restitution to the victims of the listeria outbreak — $25,000 for each of the six counts. They argued against paying restitution because they may be found liable for damages in civil cases filed by victims.
The 2011 outbreak killed as many as 40 people and sickened almost 150 others in 28 states, according to the assistant U.S. Attorney Jaime Pena, who prosecuted the case.
The Jensens could have each faced up to six years in prison and each been fined $1.5 million.
"No fine is imposed because the defendants have no ability to pay a fine," according to the sentencing order from Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty.
As a special condition, Ryan Jensen agreed to attend a substance abuse program and take drug tests. The judge waived drug testing for Eric Jensen because the presentence report "indicates a low risk of future substance abuse" for him. Both brothers agreed to provide a DNA sample. The brothers also must complete 100 hours of community service.
Prosecutor recommended probation
Hegarty's sentence order came after the U.S. Attorney's office and officials from the federal probation and parole office recommended probation.
"These defendants were at worse negligent or reckless in their acts and omissions," Pena wrote in the government's recommendation.
The judge noted that several victims spoke during the sentencing hearing, some in favor of probation, some in favor of jail time.
The brothers requested probation, saying they had no intent to harm anyone. They also contend justice has been served because new food safety guidelines have been implemented in the industry.
According to their request, the federal officer who wrote their presentence reports did not find any evidence showing the brothers were aware their operation was substandard.
"Additionally, there is no evidence to suggest that the defendant and codefendant 'cut corners' to save money in order to earn a greater profit by installing the new processing equipment," Eric Jensen's attorney wrote in the request.
The brothers' probation request also reference their federal lawsuit against Santas Maria, Calif.-based Primus Group Inc. That case states the Jensens would not have shipped the tainted cantaloupe if their operation had not received a "superior" score of 96 out of 100 when a Primus contractor audited it just before the 2011 season.
The brothers signed their case against Primus over to the 66 listeria victims and their families who have filed civil cases.
Primus Group Inc., Santa Maria, Calif., is named in all of the suits. At least two federal judges and one state judge dismissed Primus from cases under their jurisdiction as of late January.
However, Bill Marler, the Seattle food safety attorney handling the Jensens' case against Primus — as well as 45 of the 66 victim cases — said he believes many of the cases will go forward. One such case, filed by the family of the late William Beach, is in Oklahoma.
The judge denied, in part, a dismissal request by Primus on Jan. 24. In his order the judge said the wrongful death claim against Primus can move forward because there are sufficient "factual allegations to support that causation exists between Primus Group's actions and Mr. Beach's listeria infection and death."

LOS ANGELES -- Dear SOS: We ate at Bar/Kitchen on Flower Street in Los Angeles after a theater matinee. Plenty of great dishes, but the shrimp and grits was amazing -- shrimp laid on top of grits that must have been flavored with a shrimp stock and speckled with the addition of crispy bits of chorizo sausage. Could you please ask them for the recipe? -- Janet Wingert, Dana Point, Calif.Dear Janet: It doesn't get much simpler than shrimp and grits, but Bar/Kitchen at the O Hotel takes this classic comfort food to new heights, with large Mexican shrimp cooked in a rich, creamy sauce spiced with minced Spanish Bilbao chorizo and a helping of sriracha hot sauce. Spooned atop cheesy stone-ground grits, it's heaven on a plate.Bar/Kitchen's Shrimp and GritsServes 4 to 8. Total time: 1 hour, 10 minutes. Adapted from Bar/Kitchen in Los Angeles. While this recipe calls for stone-ground grits, regular grits may be substituted, though they will not require as much cooking time or liquid; instant grits should not be substituted. 2 tablespoons olive oil 12 to 16 large Mexican white shrimp (less than 15 per-pound count) 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1/2 cup minced Spanish chorizo Bilbao 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes 4 teaspoons chopped white onions 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 3/4 cup white wine 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, or similar hot sauce, more if desired 1/2 teaspoon Spanish paprika 3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste 2 cups heavy cream Prepared grits (recipe below) Chopped chives, for garnishHEAT a large sauté pan over high heat and add the olive oil. Add the shrimp and sauté, searing the shrimp on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes (the shrimp will not be fully cooked yet). Remove the shrimp to a plate. ADD the chorizo and cook for 30 seconds over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook just until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes, onions and cilantro. Cook until the onions just begin to soften, about 1 minute. Stir in the lemon juice, white wine and sriracha, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the paprika and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste.STIR in the cream and simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Add the shrimp back to the pan and increase the heat to high. Continue to cook until the shrimp are just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste; season if desired.DIVIDE the grits among four bowls or plates and top with the shrimp. Pour over the sauce, and garnish with chopped chives.Grits 6 cups milk 1 cup stone-ground grits 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup grated ParmesanBRING the milk to a boil in a large saucepan. Slowly whisk in the grits to avoid any lumps. Stir in the salt and pepper.REDUCE the heat and simmer the grits, stirring occasionally, until they start to thicken, about 20 minutes. Stir in the cream, a little at a time. Gently simmer, stirring frequently to keep the grits from scorching, until the grits are softened and thickened, about 30 to 45 additional minutes. Slowly stir in the Parmesan cheese.

Inspirations: Will you be new this year?
2014 — another brand new year stretching out in front of us. I suspect that some will be making New Year's resolutions.
I read the resolution of one man whose heart was moved to work with children. His resolution: "I resolve to work with neglected children ... my own."
The idea of things changing and being "new" is not new. The God of the universe invented the idea of newness. He had created a brand new world, and then created man to live in and enjoy it.
And then after our fall into sin He developed a brand new strategy to bring us out of the pit and back to Himself. Speaking of this new plan, God said through Jeremiah the prophet, "I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah."
In Ezekiel, God spoke, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you." In the New Testament, the Apostle Peter spoke of this newness and said, "In His great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."
The Lord Jesus Himself had spoken of this new birth saying that "you must be born again," or, born from above. This is known as the "new birth." Once this new life in Jesus begins it leads to all sorts of newness.
Jeremiah, in his lamentation over Israel, said, "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
Would that not be a wonderful resolution to hold to, just realizing that God's love and compassion are new every morning?
And what about David, who said in the Psalms, "Sing to the Lord a new song." What a wonderful newness, that every morning I can sing a new song from a new heart.
The Apostle Paul adds this in a letter to the church, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
And for those who have this new life, the future is almost incomprehensible with newness. God says through the prophet Isaiah, "Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth."
And again in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, "I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband." The bride is made up of God's people, those of the new birth, and the husband is the Lord Jesus. What an awesome promise of a new future.
Resolve this year to know new life in Jesus. Make a resolution to let Him change your heart and life and make you brand new. It is a resolution that Jesus can keep.

This manual is prompted by the spread of terrestrial rabies up the Eastern Seaboard and through the Mid-Atlantic region. In Indiana, we have not seen the influx of positive rabies cases that these eastern states have, but we know that the primary vector has been raccoons. It is anticipated as the virus moves its way west, our own population of both wild and domestic animals will be affected. In addition to this concern, we presently find several bats to be rabies-positive and bats serve as the number one source of rabies infection for humans.
In the absence of terrestrial rabies, but with it as close as the Ohio-Pennsylvania boarder, we publish these guidelines to help veterinarians, animal control personnel, physicians and animal handlers to identify situations and actions necessary to be taken in order to control and contain the spread of this disease among our animal population. This in turn protects our human population from exposure and infection, minimizing the amount of treatment necessary following exposure to potentially rabid animals.
We would like to thank the states of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut for allowing us to use information from their rabies manuals which were written to deal with the epizootic in the Mid-Atlantic states. With good information and education provided to all enforcing agencies, veterinarians and the general public, we can hopefully minimize human exposure and protect our domestic animals from this deadly disease.

Lorenzo Carries 38-Point MotoGP World Championship Lead To Spain's Motorland Aragon

Jorge Lorenzo (99).
Yamaha Factory Racing's Jorge Lorenzo may arrive at Motorland Aragón this weekend with a 38-point lead at the top of the MotoGP™ championship, yet Repsol Honda Team's main rival, Dani Pedrosa, will have a point to prove after his disastrous last outing in Misano.
This year's Gran Premio Iveco de Aragón will be the third year the relatively new track will be hosting the event, which has been won by the currently-injured Casey Stoner on the last two outings. Repsol Honda's Stoner, who has stated he hopes to be back for the Japanese round in mid-October, will once again be replaced by Jonathan Rea, who finished in eighth on his MotoGP debut last time out in Misano. It will however be Lorenzo and Pedrosa who will remain the talking point, with both hoping to take the win at a track where neither has tasted victory before.
Lorenzo's Yamaha teammate Ben Spies will aim to continue his positive upturn in results, having completed the last race without any of the faults that have plagued his season so far. Yet much of the attention will be focused the Ducati Team, in particular Valentino Rossi, who looked to have found one of the missing ingredients for success with his Desmosedici. After finishing on the podium in Misano with an updated bike, and reporting a positive test afterwards, Rossi and his teammate Nicky Hayden will hope to verify their findings with another positive result in Spain.
With his future in 2013 still uncertain, San Carlo Honda Gresini's Ãlvaro Bautista, who recorded his first GP podium last time out, will once again be looking to stake his claim to keep his current ride. He will be buoyed tremendously by his third place in last race, while other Honda satellite rider, LCR Honda MotoGP's Stefan Bradl, will hope to overcome the front tyre issue that hampered his charge in Misano. Monster Yamaha Tech 3's Andrea Dovizioso may however be the most determined rider on the grid in Aragón, having lost out on the podium by a mere 0.003s in Misano, whilst his teammate Cal Crutchlow will look to bounce back from his crash.
Both satellite Ducati outfits will be aiming for a much-improved race in Spain, after Cardion AB Racing's Karel Abraham suffered first technical issues and then a crash last time out in Italy, and Pramac Racing Team's Héctor Barberá crashed and took out Pedrosa in the first few bends. As usual, Aragón will see a full line-up of CRT machines, including NGM Mobile Forward Racing's Colin Edwards and Came IodaRacing Project's Danilo Petrucci. Both are now running the Suter chassis with a BMW engine in a bid to speed up development of the machine. Whilst Edwards scored his best result yet in Misano, Petrucci will be looking to avoid the technical issues, which hampered his home race.
Power Electronics Aspar's Randy de Puniet continues to dominate the CRT table standings ahead of his teammate Aleix Espargaró, yet will face the challenge of San Carlo's Michelle Pirro, Speed Master's Mattia Pasini, Avintia Blusens pair Yonny Hernandez and David Salom, and Paul Bird Motorsport's James Ellison.
Team CatalunyaCaixa Repsol's Marc Márquez heads to the Aragón race with a 53-point cushion at the top of the Moto2™ standings, yet as he showed last time out in Misano, he will still put everything on the line for that top-spot.
In Misano he was involved in a battle to the end with Spanish rival, Pons 40 HP Tuenti's Pol Espargaró, which is likely to repeat itself at this weekend's Gran Premio Iveco de Aragón. Espargaró must win races in order to stand a chance of winning the Moto2™ title, whilst Márquez looks unable to just race for points. Throw into the mix one charging Andrea Iannone aboard his Speed Master bike, and the race is already a mouth-watering prospect.
Interwetten-Paddock's Tom Lüthi, who only lies four points off Iannone in third, will also be giving his all at the Spanish track, as he looks for not only a better championship position, but another trip onto the podium. Behind him, the battle for fifth in the standings is hotting up, as Marc VDS Racing Team duo of Scott Redding and Mika Kallio are separated by only five points, with the Finn looking in ominous form last time out in Misano finishing fourth.
Tech 3 Racing's Bradley Smith, who last year fought his way from 16th to 6th at the Aragón track, will hope to get a podium under his belt this year, before heading up to the premier-class next year with his current squad. Espargaró's teammate Esteve Rabat and Technomag-CIP Dominique Aegerter will however only have their sights set on each other, as they are points even in eighth, heading Came IodaRacing Project's Simone Corsi, who will look to make amends for his crash at the last race at his home race.
GP Team Switzerland's injured Randy Krummenacher will be replaced this weekend by Swiss rider Jesco Raffin, while the grid also welcomes CNS Motorsport's wildcard Alex Marinelarena.
Blusens Avintia's Maverick Viñales will be drawing on all his home support at this weekend's Gran Premio Iveco de Aragón to reel in Red Bull KTM Ajo's Moto3™ championship leader Sandro Cortese.
Cortese currently holds a lead of 46 points over his Spanish rival, after holding off Viñales' late charge at the Misano round last time out. Yet there is now a third that has been firmly thrown into the mix in the shape of RW Racing GP's Luis Salom, who is looking ever more like the complete package in Moto3™. Though he lies 56 points off Cortese, with the unpredictability of the entry-class championship, Salom will see himself as an outside potential for the title still. Cortese may however be racing with more peace-at-mind than the Spanish duo, as he has today been confirmed with the Intact-GP Team in Moto2™ for next year, which will field a Kalex machine.
Team Italia FMI's Romano Fenati, who finished on the podium on Misano last time out, could once again be one of the front runners in Aragón, yet will face a stiff challenge from his Spanish rival for 'Rookie of the Year' Alex Rins. Estrella Galicia 0,0's Rins only narrowly missed out on the podium in the last race, yet will fancy his chances with a home advantage, to claw back the 24-point deficit to Fenati.
Caretta Technology's Alexis Masbou and AirAsia-SIC-Ajo's Zulfahmi Khairuddin should have been resuming their battle for sixth place in the championship, both tied on 81 points, yet Masbou injured himself in a big crash before Misano, and will be replaced by British rider John McPhee until the end of the season. Cortese's teammate Danny Kent, only 11 behind on 70 points, finished sixth in Aragón last year, and will be hoping for an equal or better result this time around.
The Moto3™ race will also see two wildcards fielded in the form of Bradol Larresport's Jorge Navarro and Wild Wolf BST's Juan Guevara. Mapfre Aspar Team Moto3's Héctor Faubel has been permanently replaced by German rider Luca Amato.

BuddhaSoup wrote:My own view is that it is very important that the Vinaya rules be followed, such that the concern that the Dhamma will erode over time is not realized.
I also feel that the Dhamma could be subject to erosion if the Dhamma is made so rigid and so colorless so as to not allow for basic human kindness expressed out of only the most positive of intentions. If a monk giving a hug to a lonely and hungry child is seen with shock, and perceived as an offense, my worry is that Dhamma will be left as the domain for only the strictest of views.
The Dhamma must be guarded carefully and the intent of Buddha must be followed, but not at the expense of making this living and breathing practice so inflexible that few choose its path.
Just as a Bhikkhu would not let a woman drown in a lake for fear of touching her, I believe that some latitude is required for (nonsexual) loving and compassionate acts. Again, the intent of the actor is paramount. I believe that the Dhamma will not only survive, but it will live and breathe with vibrancy for eons if some reasonable, ethical, and compassionate latitude is embraced by those lay and ordained that practice it.

The Bookie is an area of the Casino. At the bookie, you can bet money on games from various sporting events to special events like the Royal Wedding and X Factor evictions.
The bookie works with a system of odds that gives higher rewards for betting correctly on a competitor that was not favored to win. Basically, the team or competitor that is likely to win has better odds, and will pay less for correctly betting. The team or competitor that is least likely to win has the worst odds, but will pay much more for betting on it and winning.
Understanding handicap bets
Sometimes when a team/player is so heavily favoured then there will usually be a Handicap placed on it (sometimes shortened to H/C). This means that the team less favoured to win is given an advantage to help balance out the result and (hopefully) make the betting more interesting.
For example;
Team A (-1)
Team B (+1)
Handicap Draw
In layman terms, this means at the start of the match/race Team B has a 1-0 advantage automatically.
Team A can only win the bet if they win by 2 or more goals/points.
Team B can win the bet if they either win or draw (as they already have the 1-0 advantage at the start of the match/race)
Handicap draw will win if Team A wins by just 1 goal/point.
Sometimes in the bookies you will see handicaps of -3.5, this means that the team who are the favourites will have to win by 4 or more.
For example;
Team A (-3.5)
Team B (+3.5)
Team A can only win if they win by 4 or more goals/points.
Team B can win if they draw or are up to 3 goals/points behind
As .5 in sports is very rare and only used in a minority of sports these type of handicaps never have a draw option.
In some cup competitions (mainly in soccer (US), football (everywhere else)) where extra time can be involved, if there is an option for a draw then that means only the score up to the regulation time counts. Extra time does not factor in these games. If, however there is no option for a draw then the winner is the one who wins the game at the final whistle(whether it be in regulation time or extra time).
Extra time clarification
A source of confusion that crops up often with players new to the bookies is what counts as extra time, especially in football. Hopefully this will clear things up for those who don't fully understand.
(I'll be using football (soccer) as my example but this can happen in other sports, so beware.)
In football there are two types of extra time. The first example is what the referee adds on at the end of the 90 minutes due to injuries, substitutions...etc. This will usually be between 1-5 minutes and counts towards the 90 minutes. If a player scores in this time it will still count as 90 minutes.
A game is drawn at 1-1, you have bet on Team A to win. Team A scores in the 93rd minute. You win your bet. (League games)
The other type of extra time is mainly used in cup competitions during the knock-out rounds. Extra time in this instance is an added 30 minutes play but does NOT count towards the 90 minutes for your bet. If there was a DRAW option for this bet then the draw is the only bet that will win as this instance of extra time doesn't count towards the 90 minutes even if the team you bet on do go on and score in the extra 30 minutes of play to win the game. Think of the 30 added minutes as a separate game. AKA get scammed like I did because you were unaware of this BS.
A game is drawn at 1-1 after 90 minutes and whatever few minutes the referee adds on, you have bet on Team A to win. There has been 30 extra minutes added to the game to decide a winner. Team A scores in the 105th minute and wins the game. You lose your bet as the game ended in a draw at regulation time. (On some sporting sites they use the term AET to denote the added extra time of 30 minutes)
If you are still unsure then hopefully just remembering that in ordinary league games there is no 30 minute extra time involved so you will not have to worry about whether a goal affects your bet if someone has scored in the 94th minute.
Claiming your winnings
Whether you get lucky or unlucky in the bookies you will usually have to wait up to 24 hours for the event that will tell you that you either have won or lost the bet and how much you have won (if you have won your bet).

You can follow tipsters but the decision at the end of the day is down to you so don't go blaming them if it all goes wrong.
If you see an error in bookies then let bookie staff know rather than exploit it as the bet will only get deleted and you will have lost out on an opportunity to make money. (You can find bookie staff by looking in the Staff listings https://www.torn.com/staff.php)

MIAMI - Tampa attorney Bill McBride, who came out of nowhere to win the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 2002 but lost to then-Republican Gov. Jeb Bush, has died at the age of 67.
His wife Alex Sink said Sunday that McBride suffered a fatal heart attack Saturday while visiting with family in Mount Airy, N.C. Sink was the Democratic nominee for governor in 2010, losing to now-Gov. Rick Scott. The couple made their home outside of Tampa.
Sink said McBride had suffered from heart problems for years.
McBride defeated former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno in the Democratic primary to run against Bush. Before entering politics, he was managing partner at the prestigious Holland & Knight law firm.
"Bill McBride was larger than life," U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson said in a statement released Sunday. "He was one of the great business, legal and political leaders of Florida, and he is a friend that many of us will miss."
Sink said McBride's true legacy is as a longtime civil rights champion.

The Isle of Man is a motorcycle mecca – at least it is for two weeks of the year during an annual speed fest known as the TT. For 106 years, the tiny island in the middle of the Irish Sea has played host to the legendary event that is run on real roads by little-known racers who speed within inches of stone walls and spectators on sport bikes topping 200 mph.
But in 2009, the TT was host to something different: the world's first zero-emissions motorcycle grand prix, or TTXGP, which took place on the same twisty 37.73-mile course. The experimental electric motorcycles lacked the speed and sound of the legendary TT, but their existence proved an intriguing idea: "That maniacs on motorcycles can be a force for global good."
Filmmaker Mark Neale captured the action of the original race, then returned a year later to witness a giant leap forward in technology. The result of those efforts is "Charge," a documentary that tracks the Silicon Valley startups and the university research teams, the businessmen, the government officials and, of course, the racers who made the first e-GP a reality. Narrated by Ewan McGregor, "Charge" will race onto the big screen – briefly – as part of the seven-week, seven-film Docurama documentary series.
A three-minute short film about solar-powered roads and parking lots runs just before each screening, with a pretaped Q&A with director Mark Neale screened afterward.

Meet Our People: Raagini
As an analyst working in Bengaluru on network and voice services, Raagini talks about her background, the experience of her first day at Goldman Sachs, and more. Here are some highlights from her profile:
"I received a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from BMS College of Engineering, Bengaluru. The curriculum covered both coding and networking, and when I joined Goldman Sachs, I was able to choose which of these I was able to pursue."
"My first day here was a mixture of chaos and anxiety. Coming straight out of college into a large firm can be overwhelming—I was amazed by the sheer size and the number of people, all busy with their own tasks."
"Goldman Sachs gives us the opportunities to become successful leaders. I've spent three years in network management, working with the same team, but even there our roles have changed."
"I am part of the Goldman Sachs Mentorship Program, where I visit a school for the underprivileged and help children study and learn."

RESIDENTS will have the chance to save money on their fuel bills as another auction for the UK's largest collective energy scheme is being rolled out.
Ready to Switch is the largest and most inclusive scheme of its kind in the UK, with Wiltshire Council and 11 other local authorities joining as part of the collective led by Peterborough City Council.
People in Wiltshire can register until February 17.
This is the seventh such collective auction to be held in the UK. Many Wiltshire and Swindon residents are making savings of £100 or more through the scheme.
Residents who registered in the previous auction round will soon receive offer letters or emails letting them know if they'll be saving against their current deal – and if so how much money will be going back into their pocket.
Wiltshire Council cabinet member for the environment Toby Sturgis said: "With the colder weather setting in energy prices are continuing to rise, putting a strain on household budgets. I encourage residents to look into this scheme and see what savings they could make."

Privacy advocates, prepare to have a field day. Walmart has just announced plans to embed individual garments with scannable electronic ID tags, the first step in a real-time tracking system for controlling inventory and preventing theft, according to the Wall Street Journal. Starting August 1, the big-box retailer will be placing removable radio-frequency ID (RFID) tags on its jeans and underwear, a move that will allow its employees to find out which sizes are missing from the shelves—and what additional items remain in the storeroom—with a wave of a handheld scanner.
Retailers have long employed RFID tags, which act like long-range barcodes that can be scanned from a distance, to track pallets of merchandise moving through their supply chains. Walmart is the first to implement the tags in-store, rather than behind the scenes, but its broad adoption of the costly technology may result in enough of a price drop for other retailers to follow suit.
Although you can rip the radio tags off your new pair of 501s, you can't turn them off.
Although you can rip the radio tags off your new pair of 501s, you can't turn them off, a fact that has watchdog groups crying foul—or rather, "Big Brother." Underhanded marketers or crooks driving by could scan your garbage to identify recent purchases, for one.
Another concern that has privacy experts ruffled up: Sneaky retailers could scan customers who carry RFID-enhanced ID cards (such as drivers' licenses, which states like Washington and New York have begun issuing) as they browse the store's wares. Combined with their credit card information, the data could allow retailers to put a number to person and identify them the next time they step into their premises.

There are a lot of reasons I love the South Beach Diet (or carb-conscious eating in general) and one of them is the way you can lose weight with stricter eating whenever you've gained a few pounds and want to quickly get back to your target weight. I know readers think I eat nothing but salad, but actually every December I indulge a little, and then in January I get back to my carb-conscious way of eating and stick with Phase One Recipes or Low-Carb Recipes for a few weeks.
I know other people also do this, so for the third year in a row, I'll be posting phase one and low-carb recipes during January. If anyone asked me what foods I'd never get tired of, salmon would be near the top of the list, so I'm kicking off the lowest-carb recipes with this Quick and Easy Roasted Salmon with Rosemary-Garlic Rub. This recipe is easy enough to make after a hard day at work, and so delicious that you won't feel like you're dieting. If you don't want to make the Rosemary-Garlic Rub just use a commercial fish rub (this is my favorite) but do try this easy method for making tasty salmon!

Pirates place Marte on disabled list, recall Morel
PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates placed Starling Marte on the seven-day concussion disabled list Wednesday, five days after Marte took a 93-mph fastball off the helmet. Infielder Brent Morel was promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis to take Marte's roster spot.
Marte was beaned by Rockies reliever Adam Ottavino and initially stayed in Friday's contest before eventually being removed for a defensive replacement. The 25-year-old sat out Saturday, pinch-hit on Sunday and started Monday. However, he was out of the lineup and unavailable off the bench Tuesday night against the Dodgers, as complications from the ball to the head apparently worsened.
"It's a very difficult situation to assess," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "The way they feel one day may not be the way they feel two days later because the lingering effects of what can stimulate them, whether it be light, whether it be exertion, whether it be heat, whether it be all those things."
Marte went 0-for-4 in his brief return to the order, and he is hitting .255/.328/.385 with a team-best 21 steals during his third Major League Season.
Meanwhile, Morel is making his second stint with the Bucs this season. The 27-year-old also was on their roster for a short period in May, appearing in one game.
Morel has a .229 average in 195 career Major League games -- all of which were with the White Sox before 2014. In 73 games for Indianapolis this season, Morel hit .246 with three homers and 37 RBIs.

This is less programming and more IDE-MSVCBuild-Specific.
Does anyone know if it's possible to stop visual studio from linking an executable if any of the OBJ's failed building?
I like that VS will keep building even if there's errors, but it sucks that it then tries to link (which then fails, and leaves you with no executable).
Just curious if anyone knows of a way around that.
Hmm. I'm not sure why you're experiencing for that, but for me, VS (7.1) doesn't try to link if there was a compile error, and the executable is not overwritten in that case.
I'm quite sure that neither of VS6.0, VS7.0 or VS7.1 would normaly cause this behaviour. What they DO, is they continue building with the next project in the solution if one fails. If these projects depend on each other, the final linkage may fail, resulting in the executable being deleted.
Sorry, that's what I meant. The final linkage fails.
I'm sorry I don't know then. But I would be glad to know how to abort the build completelly as soon as an error occurs, too.
It would probably be possible using macros, as for every build error a task gets added to the task list (which can be monitored by macros)

Groups that refuse to accept that Monsanto biotechnology products, or any biotechnology products are safe, continue to try and use the courts to stop biotechnology crop production. Although lawsuits don't proclaim their intent to stop biotechnology, some lawsuits try to alter the law under which biotechnology can be used in conventional farming. After having a lawsuit stopped by a court of appeals, a group has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to step in.
A group of 73 mainly organic farmers, seed businesses and public advocacy groups asked the Supreme Court this week to hear their case against Monsanto Company challenging biotech seed patents on genetically engineered seed. In Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGATA) et al v. Monsanto, the plaintiffs sued preemptively to protect themselves from being accused of patent infringement should their fields ever become contaminated by Monsanto's genetically engineered seed.
In a June 10 ruling this year, a three-judge panel at the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that organic farmers and seed company plaintiffs are not entitled to bring a lawsuit to protect themselves from Monsanto's transgenic seed patents "because Monsanto has made binding assurances that it will not 'take legal action against growers whose crops might inadvertently contain traces of Monsanto biotech genes (because, for example, some transgenic seed or pollen blew onto the grower's land).'"
The lawyers involved for the plaintiffs claim there is reason for appealing the lower court ruling. "While the Court of Appeals correctly found that the farmers and seed sellers had standing to challenge Monsanto's invalid patents, it incorrectly found that statements made by Monsanto's lawyers during the lawsuit mooted the case," said Daniel Ravicher, executive director of the Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) and lead counsel to the plaintiffs in OSGATA et al v. Monsanto. "As a result, we have asked the Supreme Court to take the case and reinstate the right of the plaintiffs to seek full protection from Monsanto's invalid transgenic seed patents."
The plaintiffs brought the pre-emptive case against Monsanto in March 2011 and specifically say they are seeking to defend themselves from nearly two dozen of Monsanto's patents on GMO seed. They claim to have been forced to act pre-emptively to protect themselves from Monsanto's "abusive lawsuits," fearing that if GMO seed contaminates their property despite their efforts to prevent such contamination, Monsanto will sue them for patent infringement.
Statement's by representatives of the plaintiffs show overt dislike for Monsanto and biotechnology crops, and not all of it is based on facts in this lawsuit.
"We have been farming for almost 40 years and we have never wanted anything to do with Monsanto," said Jim Gerritsen, an organic seed farmer in Maine and president of lead plaintiff OSGATA. "We believe we have the right to farm and grow good food the way we choose. We don't think it's fair that Monsanto can trespass onto our farm, contaminate and ruin our crops and then sue us for infringing on their patent rights. We don't want one penny from Monsanto. American farmers deserve their day in court so we can prove to the world Monsanto's genetically engineered patents are invalid and that farmers deserve protection from Monsanto's abuse."
Dave Murphy, founder and executive director of Food Democracy Now!, said, "For the past 20 years, Monsanto has used its political and financial power to foist a deeply flawed technology on America's farmers, consistently underestimating the real risks of genetic engineering while putting America's farmers, the environment and the public in harm's way simply in the name of profit. As the leading arbiters of justice in the U.S., it behooves the Supreme Court to hear this important case to protect America's farmers from abusive patent infringement lawsuits and invalidate Monsanto's flawed patents as their products have been shown to be damaging to human health and the environment and failed to live up to the marketing hype."

No, there's not much in the way of Theravada organisations (or any Buddhist institutions for that matter) anywhere near Werribee - are you aware of anything on the Geelong side of Lara?
If I meditate, I meditate solo... but to be honest, the closest I get to formal meditation nowadays is Bikram Yoga - and there is one of those in Werribee!
Otherwise, it's just a matter of watching the qualitative nature of the body, mind and thoughts, satipatthana-style... right effort, noble eightfold path etc.
No - nothing in the Theravada tradition - there is a Tibetan monastery south of Geelong but that's about it...

One Lump or Many?Science brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
The following is a true story.
My friends and I were enjoying the atmosphere (and food) at an authentic English pub in town. We all ordered tea, and the barmaid brought us all our preferred variety. She passed by each of us and asked, "Would you like milk or lemon?" One of my friends simply said "Yes" and quickly poured a bit of milk and squeezed a lemon wedge into his cup. He passed the milk back to the young lady who smiled and said "I'll be right back with another cup for you, sir."
My friend was confused at first, but upon her return he was happy to have a fresh cup. What had happened to necessitate a new cup of tea?
AnswerMy friend was unaware that you NEVER add milk AND lemon to your tea as the citric acid in the lemon will cause the proteins in the milk to curdle, making for an unpleasant cup of tea indeed. The young lady had seen this happen before and moved quickly to remedy the problem. Afterwards, she only teased him a little about it.

This feature allows you to filter your search results within a specified distance of a desired location. This radius is in addition to any other criteria selected in your custom property search.
To begin a radius search, simply open the Radius Search panel by clicking on the Radius Search header. Once open you can select a center-point by clicking on the map, or by entering a latitude and longitude directly in the boxes if you already know the coordinates of interest. The radius can be selected by either sliding the slider, or by typing an exact radius in the radius box. The slider selects whole number distances, but fractional distances can be entered directly (e.g. "1.25")
As you change the radius, or click the map to re-center the radius, you will see the radius area redrawn on the map. This allows you to accurately choose the area you wish to include in the search. If you no longer want to filter by radius, click the red X next to the coordinates to clear the radius from your search criteria.
You can hold down your Control key and drag the mouse on the map to zoom in faster, and on a particular area to help you isolate your center point. You may also use the Address Search directly under the map to find a particular location. The more detail you can provide, the better the search can match your address, so including a city/town name is a good idea (e.g. "123 Main St, Smithville"). When you search for an address, the map will display a marker on the map. If it has found your desired center-point, hover over the marker, and select the "Use this Point as Center" link to make the found point the center of your radius search. If it's not exact, then just click the correct spot on the map now that you are in the vicinity.
