WATCH: Do-gooder gives shivering homeless man the shirt off his back
THIS is the heartwarming moment a kind train passenger gave a shivering, topless homeless man his shirt and hat.
The commuter, who's not been identified, spotted the down-on-his-luck bloke trembling on the train in freezing temperatures on Friday evening.
So he took his white top off, helped the chap put it on and also gave him his hat.
Another passenger Lazaro Nolasco filmed the good deed.
The 21-year-old had boarded the train in Washington Heights, New York City, after spending time with his girlfriend.
The two-minute clip, which has had nearly 13 million views online.
Mr Nolasco said: "It was just us on the train."
He added: "The guy didn't have a shirt on. His body looked sick.
"The guy did a good deed, so I wanted to record it.
"I would tell him, 'God bless him.' That was so thoughtful."

Installation was simple and straight-forward. I removed interior deck lid trim, which proved to be unnecessary as holes were drilled near the outer edges of the deck lid. Paint match was perfect, overall quality appeared equal to factory product. I am very happy with the visual enhancement the spoiler gives to the otherwise uninspired appearance of my car. A car with the sporting nature of the TSX deserves an edgier look.

How To Stimulate The Economy? Cut Taxes For The Rich
December 26, 2001
Who has lost the most due to the stock market fall and the recession? While the poor may suffer the most privation, says Bruce Bartlett, the greatest losses have been among the richest Americans. While we don't necessarily feel sorry for losses among higher income individuals, since they are the ones who provide the bulk of capital investment that will create an economic recovery, tax relief for them should be an important element in an economic stimulus bill.
According to a Census Bureau study released earlier this year, those in the top 20 percent (quintile) of households, ranked by income, own 58.6 percent of all stock and mutual funds in terms of value.
This means that those in the top quintile have lost the vast bulk of the money resulting from the steep fall in the stock market since last year.
- The combined value of all stocks on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ market peaked in August 2000 at $18.9 trillion.
- As of the end of October 2001, this fell to $13.4 trillion, a decline of $5.5 trillion.
- This suggests that those in the top quintile have suffered a loss in wealth of more than $3 trillion in just over a year.
As a result, wealth is far more equally distributed now than before the stock market crash. But there is not a single poor person in America who is better off because people like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are billions of dollars poorer.
However, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) has blocked passage of an economic stimulus package just to stop corporations and well-to-do individuals from getting even the tiniest bit of tax relief.

They make us laugh. They make us cry. They make us say, "Thank goodness I'm not the only one." – They're mommy bloggers. And in a world where it's easy to feel like you're alone, these wonderful women remind us that we're all connected and in this parenting thing together – Each of us making valiant attempts at raising happy, healthy, functioning little members of society.
Each week I'll be featuring a "Brilliant Blogger Broad" (B.B.B.) in the industry that you should definitely take some time to get to know. They each offer their own unique outlooks on family, parenting, and family lifestyle – often giving out invaluable tips and information that you'll be grateful to know.
So sit back, relax, and get to know this week's "Brilliant Blogger Broad" – Angela, of the wonderfully informative parenting and lifestyle guide for women, Mom-Spot.com.
*So, Angela – What do you blog about?
Mom-Spot.com blogs on over 90 subject areas. My favorite to write are the interviews with the mom bloggers, mompreneurs, international moms, mom authors and so forth. It's fun to ask them "out of the box" questions that they haven't been asked before. They also inspire at the same time, so it fills my "need to know" bucket.
*What one word best describes your current state of mind? Why?
Inspired and Thankful. Mom-Spot.com has taken off like a rocket heading for the moon and I couldn't be happier. I am also thankful because I get to play for a living and include my daughter in my work. We have the best time together.
*What inspired you to begin blogging?
That's a long story and a rather fun one I have to admit. Let's just say that I "retired" from the non-profit world after being the Executive Director of a children's charity that I also founded. I was looking for something new and this just "fell into my lap" so to speak. I really am not a writer in a blogger sort of way, but I am getting better at it with each and every post. I love guest bloggers by the way!
*Complete this sentence: "I blog because…"
It's my job, no it's my hobby, no it's my passion, no…..well, I guess I really don't know. I blog because it's never the same thing twice and I think I am ADD or ADHD or well, you get the picture.
*What advice do you have for someone who wants to start blogging?
Find a mentor and check out other blogs first. Bloggers are a fantastic group of people and they are open to sharing their experience, or at least that is what I have found.
*Your favorite all time blog post (authored by you of course)?
It has to be the one about losing my mind because I was trying to get a mint out of the container….you really just need to read it. http://mom-spot.com/2012/10/
*What term or phrase do you most over use?
Awesome. Enough Said.
*Do you have any projects that you're working on that have you engaged and excited?
The next site installment for Mom-Spot.com Network entitled CasualDad.com. It's a site by dads for dads. We are in development right now with a pre-launch this summer. I love to build things, so this and a box of Legos always have me engaged and excited!
*What do you do in your downtime to relax?
I play on my iPad mostly. I also read, a lot. If I get an entire weekend, I will determine how much total time I have and then just get in the car and drive. I figure I've got half of the allotted time to get somewhere because I can get back in the other half of the time.
*What is your favorite part about being a mom?
Being with my daughter. She is now 13 and we are taking many adventures together. Last summer we went X-Railing in the jungles of Mexico. (Check out the photo on the bulletin board above.)
*Where can we connect with you?
On my blog of course: Mom-Spot.com or Dayton.Mom-Spot.com

Al Jazeera is coming to Dundee
Ahead of the publication of the Chilcot Report into events surrounding the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a panel of international experts will be in Dundee on Friday, 10 April to discuss the role the media played in shaping public opinion about this moment in history.
The discussion will centre around the documentary film Control Room, which goes behind the scenes at Al Jazeera HQ in Doha and the US Central Command Coalition Media Centre in the Qatari desert.
It documents the days leading up to the so-called 'Shock and Awe' aerial attacks on Baghdad, right through to the declaration of 'Liberation' on 9 April 2003.
The panel will feature respected journalists from Al Jazeera and the BBC who were directly involved in reporting on these events.
Organised by Thinking Media Scotland, the event will take place at Abertay University and will be chaired by Scottish broadcaster Lesley Riddoch.
Abertay sociologist Andrew Panay will also be on the panel to give his perspective on what happened and the impact and influence that war reporting has on public opinion today.
Speaking ahead of the event, panellist Alison Balharry - who was Editor for BBC Radio 4 at US Central Command in Qatar in 2003 and now runs Thinking Media Scotland - said:
"I set up Thinking Media Scotland because I want to encourage debate about the role media plays in society, with a particular focus on bringing together students, academics, media professionals and the wider public.
"Our aim is to bring people to Scotland with first hand experience of a particular story, genre, role or medium and, as a proud Dundonian, I wanted to host TMS's first event right here in the city.
"With the imminent publication of the long-overdue Chilcot Report, and having been at the US Central Command Coalition Media Centre in Qatar for BBC Radio 4 in the weeks running up to the formal declaration of war myself, it was the obvious subject to start with.
"On the panel alongside myself will be Jihad Ballout, who was Aljazeera's Media Relations and Comms Manager from 2001 to 2005, and Diar Al Umari, who was Aljazeera's Baghdad bureau chief from 2000 to 2003. We were all at the heart of the events in the film.
"We will also have Andrew Panay from Abertay University who has a particular interest in war reporting, media and propaganda and will be able to give us a unique perspective on these events and add great value to what I am sure will be a fascinating discussion."
Andrew Panay – Lecturer in Sociology at Abertay University – gives some context to the film:
"By 2003, 24-hour live news was not the novelty it had been during the first Iraq war. Now standardised as practice, numerous - mostly western-based and western-oriented - 24 news channels jostled for seats at the US Central Command Coalition Media Centre's expensively assembled, and closely monitored Doha table.
"Alongside these was a relative newcomer in the form of Al Jazeera.
"Although modelling itself on the glossy design originated by CNN, Al Jazeera - centred as it is in the Middle East, and with a demographic that is largely Arab and Arab speaking, and predominantly Muslim - presented something of a news management problem to coalition PR execs.
"The essence of this is brilliantly captured in Jehane Noujaim's documentary film Control Room, which provides a rare and important insight into the everyday frustrations and dangers faced by war reporters, as well as a record of the particular struggles faced by the Middle East based journalists of Al Jazeera."
The event begins at 6pm on Friday, April 10 in the Hannah Maclure Centre, Top Floor, Abertay University Student Centre.
Tickets cost £9 (+fee) for general admission or £3 (+fee) for concessions, and can be booked via Eventbrite.
For media enquiries please contact Kirsty Cameron T: 01382 308935 M: 07972172158 E: email@example.com or Alison Balharry M: 07472 433404, E: email@example.com to News

No silly pictures, no snarky commentary.
When you put Obama into office, and he enacts his plans, economic and otherwise, who will be left to create the wealth to be spread around? Are you aware of what you are doing? When the "economically advantaged" have their wealth confiscated, the well will eventually run dry. Who has the right to demand a share of their neighbor's treasure?
Why do you believe an honorable man has ill intentions for our country? Why do you believe a man with a thin curriculum vitae and troubling personal and political allies would make a better president?
Why would an America-hating terrorist, a racist anti-semite preacher, a crooked real estate investor, and a pro-Palestinian thug want to be friends with someone running for president?
How can someone who has expressed his contempt for the Constitution swear to uphold the same?
Do you want to be responsible for yourself and your family? Or do you need a government nanny to old your hand and guide your every step?
Do you want higher prices, reduced economic opportunities, and a dependency on the benevolence of foreign nations? Do you want to keep your own retirement investments, or are you willing to hand it all over to the government to administer?
While I find his service and dedication to the United States unimpeachable, I am not happy with John McCain as the candidate on the republican ticket. I have serious issues with many of his positions, i.e. McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, etc. (has Senator Obama ever put his name on a significant piece of legislation?). The alternative, however, is unacceptable.
Think of your future. Think of your children's future. Look deep inside yourself and ask, do I want to condemn my family to oppression, tyranny, and darkness? You don't have to tell your friends you voted for McCain. No one will know. Just express your surprise at Obama's defeat.
It is time to do the right thing.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention National Defense. Could Senator Obama withstand an investigation for a Top Secret security clearance? It would not be conducted by the media. Senator Obama wants to pull all of our troops out of Iraq regardless of whether or not victory has been achieved. And let us not forget Senator Biden's comments that the world will "test" an Obama presidency - "Mark my words!"
An Obama presidency will mean a reduction in our military strength, both in numbers and dollars. What will happen when China invades Taiwan (or one of its neighboring "stans"), Russia (re)invades Georgia, or Iran launches an offensive against Israel? Iran, or anyone else with a rudimentary navy, could lob a few missiles our way from a ship. The North Koreans have been working for years on a long-range missile. It could be possible for them to reach our left coast without leaving home. Senator Obama says he will not "weaponize space." He means he is against missile defense.
Another economic point - when someone who has no income tax liability is handed a check from the government, it is called welfare. Calling it a "payroll tax rebate," or a rebate on medicare and social security, is intellectually dishonest. Tax liability should be fair. Why should just the lower income people receive a tax "rebate" at the expense of everyone else? And the idea of a "progressive" tax rate comes straight out of Marx. Higher income earners contribute the lion's share of tax revenue. Lower income earners contribute just a tiny percentage of taxes. This is not disputable. If you do not believe me, go look up the statistics for yourself.
Senator Obama has proposed over $1 TRILLION in new spending. When nearly half of all income earners have NO TAX LIABILITY, where will the money come from to pay their "rebate," let alone all of the new and existing government spending? Senator Obama answers with obfuscation and subterfuge.
Not convinced? Read Pete DuPont's "The Europeanization of America" at the Wall Street Journal. (Thanks to the Maximum Leader)

Home improvements and repairs are always a necessity that cannot be neglected. It's time to invest money in repairs when something goes wrong, the tree falls down, there's a leak, a cracked tile, or malfunction of any appliances. If you are the house owner, you are responsible for the complete maintenance and repair of the house. And eventually not every one of you has hundreds and thousands to spend on repairs. Coming to the realities, at one point or the other, you will have to deal with the house repairs.
Well, you don't have to be an expert to perform small tune-ups and corrections! A little bit of effort will increase the amount of change in your pocket. Remember, fixing little things at home will improve your personal savings. There is no point in calling out a plumber or carpenter to fix leaky taps or a broken chair. These are simple things that you can do on your own and save money.
Replace broken taps
Well, start with this simple repair! A good friend of mine always fixes the broken tap by himself without calling in the professionals. When there is a leaky tap, he buys a new tap, follows the instructions very carefully, removes the old one and fixes the new one in no time.
Tip: Inviting a plumber for such repairs can cost you Rs200-250 (Approx.) in urban cities.
Can you check the Electrical fittings?
Again, there are simple electrical repairs that you can do on your own. If the tube light or bulb fails you can follow simple test to check the actual problem. Swap a working tube light to this same holder and try the tube light on a different holder. If it fails, you can buy a new one. Swapping the lights might help you at times!
Tip: Electricians in urban cities charge Rs150-300 (Approx.) per visit.
Search online for DIY repairs
Almost every one of you uses internet for various purpose. Why not use it to save money? We have electrical appliances, gadgets and other items at home and when they fail, you can search online for a quick repair. There are millions of YouTube videos and tutorials that will help you to fix most of the repairs at home.
Borrow tools from your neighbor
Indians socialize very well and getting help from your friend next door is not a big deal. Do you want a nail or hammer to fix the broken chair? Check with your neighbor and borrow the tools. Ensure that the tools are returned back safe!
Regular maintenance helps a lot
Regular servicing and check-ups of appliances at home help a big time. Air conditioner maintenance, cleaning up ceiling fans, cleaning the washing machine can improve their life and thus saves a huge amount on repair.
Finally, if you call in a professional to get some serious repairs done, do let your bargaining skills down! As a house owner, there can be constant streams of repairs and replacement but if you have the skills and knowledge to learn the quick fixes, you can eliminate the cost of labor.Tweet

Since online shopping has become the new norm, businesses outside of your regular retailers have started notice that they are going to have to get on board. You can't get by as a business anymore without offering online sales and those need to come with discounts. People are always looking for online coupons with sites like RetailMeNot for everything from their favorite apparel brands to discounts at restaurants.
That means that all online industries are going to need to keep up with the online coupon trend and that now even spreads to the hosting industry. Coupons are a great way to get new customers to sign up for services while keeping existing customers happy and content. See why this has become an effective tool for businesses to promote themselves through hosting coupons.
Discounts are always effective despite being deceptive
In some cases, coupons and discounts can be deceptive in their offerings, but they remain effective. Sometimes a new customer will see that your competitor is offering hosting services at a discount and choose them over you, even if it's the same great service you provide. You could be missing out on sales due to your competitor's discount.
When you offer a hosting coupon, your competitor will envy you which means that you will steal the new customers that were trying to compare you vs. them. They key will be to come up with an effective strategy for your online coupon and avoid over-discounting and losing profits. Make sure coupons are going to boost sales and not hurt your bottom line.
Coupon sites often drive traffic
If you haven't tried online couponing before, you'll quickly learn that coupon sites drive traffic to businesses. There is an increasing number of coupon websites coming out and you can be one of them. Get in touch with popular sites like RetailMeNot and CouponecodeHoster to get your name out about coupon codes and you'll find that you gain traffic to your site through these big sites.
Pricing is important
When a client is looking for efficient hosting, they want to find someone that also can offer a great price. Make sure that if you are offering efficient hosting, that you can also meet other criteria like uptime, security, speed, and pricing.
Earning conversions
The great thing about driving traffic to your site from these online coupon offers is that you will end up with potential clients that convert to regular customers. Make sure you can keep them happy by offering deals for your current customer base occasionally. That is one way to gain customer loyalty and to build your brand.
At least try it out
If you're on the fence about offering hosting discounts because you fear that you'll compromise your bottom line or that you won't be able to find customers that what to use your discounts, at least try it out and see how it goes. You'll likely find it was a success and that you've gained a larger customer base from the experiment.
You can use hosting coupons to promote your business and gain new customers. Try it out to stay ahead of the competition!

Denver, CO (PressExposure) February 22, 2012 -- TD Service Financial Corporation, a leading provider of services to the mortgage industry, today announced the company was awarded two important recognitions for its fourth quarter 2011 performance.
LPS Default Solutions, a leading provider of integrated technology and services to the mortgage and real estate industries, named TDS named as an LPS Attorney Performance Report Performance Recognition Winner. LPS also recognized TDS for its work in foreclosure in last year's third quarter.
In addition, American Home Mortgage Servicing Inc, one of the country's largest servicers of Alt-A and subprime loans, granted TDS its 90-Day Exemplary Performance Recongnition, including an internal report card grade of A+.
According to company CEO and Chairman Dale L. Dykema, the positive recognition is a direct result of his firm's efforts to improve relationships with the vendors that provide services to the mortgage industry.
"When we launched TD Service Company in 1964, our potential customers were primarily interested in quality service," says Mr. Dykema. "That gradually changed over the years to where doing things well started taking a back seat to price and speed. Everything in my experience tells me that it's time for a return to quality."
TD Service Company, a subsidiary TD Service Financial Corporation, today provides specialized services in the areas of default, lien release, assignments, and document retrieval through the use of custom software. Another subsidiary, Trustee's Assistance Corporation, provides posting and publishing services.
In December, the firm announced its acquisition of Security Connections, Inc., an Idaho-based company that provides outsource solutions to the mortgage banking industry. Mr. Dykema says the acquisition of Security Connections allows his company to offer an entirely new line of business to an evolving marketplace.
"Security Connections' services were and are a natural fit for our 'Return to Quality' business model," says Mr. Dykema. "Collectively, the whole of our combined company is rolling up to be more than than just the sum of its parts, which I have to think is a compelling value proposition for our clients."
In addition to TD Service Company and Security Connections, TD Service Financial Corporation is the parent of TD Service Company of Arizona, TD Service Company of Washington, and Trustee's Assistance Corporation.
About TD Service Company
TD Service Company, a division of TD Service Financial Corporation, has been providing best-in-class service to the mortgage banking industry since 1964. With corporate offices in Southern California, TD Service is committed to building and maintaining successful relationships with its customers and finding innovative ways to meet their needs.

Students will earn a full-year Sociology credit in four weeks while living and learning in Beijing, China's massive capital city. The second half of the program will include a 10-day visit to Tianjin. This course will benefit students interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the characteristics of Chinese politics, economy, culture and society.
The University of Toronto will offer one sociology course in China, worth one full-year credit. The course has limited space and is contingent on adequate enrolment. Classes will take place Monday through Thursday mornings. Mandatory field trips may take place outside of regular class time.
SOC393Y0 Selected Topics in Social Science Research: Contemporary Chinese Society
This course aims to enhance students' understanding of Chinese politics, economy, and culture, and the impacts of the market oriented reforms on the lived experiences of the people in contemporary China. With combination of classroom lectures and discussions, and field trips and direct on the ground exposure to Chinese culture and society, students will have the opportunity to study various aspects of social, economic and political changes in contemporary China, such as employment and gender, grassroots level democratic election, family organization and family formulation, social network, poverty, social welfare, religion and environment. The focus of this course is to understand social change and development in contemporary Chinese society, particularly the roles of societal institutions and individual actions in social change, and how it affects the nature of people's lives. It will address such theoretical and methodological issues regarding state-society relations, structure and agency, context and behaviour, and how individuals' actions reshape the characteristics of the society in which they live.
Prerequisites: A SOC course at the 200+ level or relevant academic preparation.
Breadth Requirement=3

- Like it's neighbor, Beijing, Tianjin is a metropolis in northern China and one of the five national central cities of the People's Republic of China. Tianjin's urban area is located along the Hai River, which connects to the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers via the Grand Canal in Tianjin. Tianjin was once home to foreign concessions in the late Qing Dynasty and early Kuomintang (KMT) era
- Capital University of Economics and Business (CUEB) traces its roots back to 1956 when the Ministry of National Education founded the Beijing Economics Institute. Students will stay at the original Hongmiao campus, located in the Chaoyang district, which is home to the School of International Education. This campus is a five-minute walk to Beijing's Central Business District (CBD).
- Nankai University is a public research university. Founded in 1919, it is one of the most prestigious universities in China and consistently ranked among the top universities in the country. Students will stay on the main Balitai campus with easy access to activities and attractions in Tianjin.

The first book of Moses, called Genesis, chapter 41, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Post duos annos vidit pharao somnium. Putabat se stare super fluvium,
2 de quo ascendebant septem boves pulchrae et crassae et pascebantur in locis palustribus.
3 Aliae quoque septem emergebant post illas de flumine foedae confectaeque macie et stabant in ipsa amnis ripa;
4 devoraveruntque septem boves pulchras et crassas. Expergefactus pharao
5 rursum dormivit et vidit alterum somnium. Septem spicae pullulabant in culmo uno plenae atque formosae.
6 Aliae quoque totidem spicae tenues et percussae vento urente oriebantur
7 devorantes omnem priorum pulchritudinem. Evigilavit pharao, et ecce erat somnium!
8 Et, facto mane, pavore perterritus misit ad omnes coniectores Aegypti cunctosque sapientes suos; et accersitis narravit somnium, nec erat qui interpretaretur.
9 Tunc demum reminiscens pincernarum magister ait: "Confiteor peccatum meum.
10 Iratus rex servis suis me et magistrum pistorum retrudi iussit in carcerem principis satellitum,
11 ubi una nocte uterque vidimus somnium praesagum futurorum.
12 Erat ibi puer Hebraeus eiusdem ducis satellitum famulus, cui narrantes somnia
13 audivimus quidquid postea rei probavit eventus. Ego enim redditus sum officio meo, et ille suspensus est in patibulo"
14 Protinus ad regis imperium eductum de carcere Ioseph totonderunt ac, veste mutata, obtulerunt ei.
15 Cui ille ait: "Vidi somnia, nec est qui edisserat; quae audivi te sapientissime conicere"
16 Respondit Ioseph: "Absque me Deus respondebit prospera pharaoni!"
17 Narravit ergo pharao, quod viderat: "Putabam me stare super ripam fluminis
18 et septem boves de amne conscendere pulchras nimis et obesis carnibus, quae in pastu paludis virecta carpebant.
19 Et ecce has sequebantur aliae septem boves in tantum deformes et macilentae, ut numquam tales in terra Aegypti viderim;
20 quae, devoratis et consumptis prioribus,
21 nullum saturitatis dedere vestigium; sed simili macie et squalore torpebant. Evigilans, rursus sopore depressus,
22 vidi somnium: Septem spicae pullulabant in culmo uno plenae atque pulcherrimae.
23 Aliae quoque septem tenues et percussae vento urente oriebantur e stipula;
24 quae priorum pulchritudinem devoraverunt. Narravi coniectoribus somnium, et nemo est qui edisserat"
25 Respondit Ioseph: "Somnium regis unum est: quae facturus est, Deus ostendit pharaoni.
26 Septem boves pulchrae et septem spicae plenae septem ubertatis anni sunt; eandemque vim somnii comprehendunt.
27 Septem quoque boves tenues atque macilentae, quae ascenderunt post eas, et septem spicae tenues et vento urente percussae septem anni sunt venturae famis,
28 qui hoc ordine complebuntur:
29 ecce septem anni venient fertilitatis magnae in universa terra Aegypti;
30 quos sequentur septem anni alii tantae sterilitatis, ut oblivioni tradatur cuncta retro abundantia. Consumptura est enim fames omnem terram,
31 et ubertatis magnitudinem perditura est inopiae magnitudo.
32 Quod autem vidisti secundo ad eandem rem pertinens somnium, firmitatis indicium est, eo quod fiat sermo Dei et velocius a Deo impleatur.
33 Nunc ergo provideat rex virum intellegentem et sapientem et praeficiat eum terrae Aegypti
34 constituatque praepositos per cunctas regiones et quintam partem fructuum per septem annos fertilitatis,
35 qui iam nunc futuri sunt, congreget in horrea; et omne frumentum sub pharaonis potestate condatur serveturque in urbibus;
36 et paretur futurae septem annorum fami, quae pressura est Aegyptum, et non consumetur terra inopia"
37 Placuit pharaoni consilium et cunctis ministris eius.
38 Locutusque est ad eos: "Num invenire poterimus talem virum, qui spiritu Dei plenus sit?"
39 Dixit ergo ad Ioseph: "Quia ostendit tibi Deus omnia, quae locutus es, numquid sapientiorem et consimilem tui invenire potero?
40 Tu eris super domum meam, et ad tui oris imperium cunctus populus meus oboediet; uno tantum regni solio te praecedam"
41 Dixitque rursus pharao ad Ioseph: "Ecce, constitui te super universam terram Aegypti"
42 Tulitque anulum de manu sua et dedit eum in manu eius; vestivitque eum stola byssina et collo torquem auream circumposuit.
43 Fecitque eum ascendere super currum suum secundum, clamante praecone: "Abrech!" ut omnes coram eo genuflecterent et praepositum esse scirent universae terrae Aegypti.
44 Dixit quoque rex ad Ioseph: "Ego sum pharao; absque tuo imperio non movebit quisquam manum aut pedem in omni terra Aegypti"
45 Vertitque nomen eius et vocavit eum lingua Aegyptiaca Saphaneth Phanec (quod interpretatur Salvator mundi) deditque illi uxorem Aseneth filiam Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos. Egressus est itaque Ioseph ad terram Aegypti
46 triginta autem annorum erat quando stetit in conspectu regis pharaonis et circuivit omnes regiones Aegypti.
47 Venitque fertilitas septem annorum, et segetes congregavit in horrea Aegypti
48 condens in singulis urbibus frumentum camporum in circuitu.
49 Tantaque fuit abundantia tritici, ut arenae maris coaequaretur, et copia mensuram excederet.
50 Nati sunt autem Ioseph filii duo, antequam veniret fames, quos ei peperit Aseneth filia Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos.
51 Vocavitque nomen primogeniti Manasses dicens: "Oblivisci me fecit Deus omnium laborum meorum et domus patris mei"
52 Nomen quoque secundi appellavit Ephraim dicens: "Crescere me fecit Deus in terra paupertatis meae"
53 Igitur, transactis septem annis ubertatis, qui fuerant in Aegypto,
54 coeperunt venire septem anni inopiae, quos praedixerat Ioseph, et in universo orbe fames praevaluit; in cuncta autem terra Aegypti erat panis.
55 Qua esuriente, clamavit populus ad pharaonem alimenta petens. Quibus ille respondit: "Ite ad Ioseph et, quidquid vobis dixerit, facite"
56 Et invaluit fames in omni terra Aegypti; aperuitque Ioseph universa horrea et vendebat Aegyptiis; nam et illos oppresserat fames.
57 Omnesque provinciae veniebant in Aegyptum, ut emerent escas apud Ioseph, quia inopia invaluerat in universa terra.
King James Version
1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
8 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
9 ¶ Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
14 ¶ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
37 ¶ And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
46 ¶ And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
53 ¶ And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
54 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.

The Mayor of Castro Street Finally Gets His Hollywood Close-Up
by David Schmader
Every biopic is saddled with the oxymoronic task of surprising audiences with a story they already know. This problem is particularly acute with Milk, Gus Van Sant's long-gestating film biography of the slain gay-rights pioneer Harvey Milk, whose story has not only been documented in news reports and history books but has already fueled a classic film—The Times of Harvey Milk, Rob Epstein's Oscar-winning documentary of 1984, which captures the man and his era impeccably and continues to rank among the greatest documentaries ever made.
Now comes the Hollywood version, which retells the amazing Milk story with the help of fastidious production design and an A-list cast. The story, for those who don't know or can't remember: In the early 1970s, 40-year-old Milk ditched his closeted Wall Street life for San Francisco, where he opened a camera shop, began organizing the Castro's gay community, and started a career in politics. In 1977, Milk was elected to San Francisco's Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay person elected to political office anywhere ever—a burst of glory that lasted until 1978, when Milk became the first openly gay politician to be slain by a psychotic political peer, falling victim (along with Mayor George Moscone) to the fatal gunfire of former city supervisor Dan White.
The basics of the Milk saga—the triumph and tragedy, if you will—cement the story's historical importance. But it's the weird little details that make it fascinating. Wisely, Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black draws the richest stuff from both the aforementioned documentary (gay-rights bigot Anita Bryant plays herself via newsreel footage) and Randy Shilts's classic Milk biography The Mayor of Castro Street, which enables Black to flesh out the film's somewhat programmatic march through Milk's Greatest Hits with odd and telling idiosyncrasies that bring the whole story to life once again.
As always, major props must go to Milk the man, the gay late bloomer who became a political force, and whose life story is packed with enough gay drama, political intrigue, and true crime to fuel one of Milk's beloved operas. As for the living artists behind Milk, they deserve props of their own. Working in his straightforward Hollywood mode, director Van Sant gets the job done and stays in the background, his presence felt most strongly in the film's comfortably unabashed sexuality. (There's tongue in the first five minutes.) But the lion's share of credit for Milk's success belongs to star Sean Penn, whose devotion to the film helped secure its production, and whose performance in the title role is a major accomplishment: quietly amazing, simultaneously lived-in and spontaneous, his best ever.
Gay-jà Vu: The Political Lessons of Milk
by Eli Sanders
Through the random chance of screening schedules, I ended up watching Milk a few days after America elected its first African-American president and about a week before gay Americans took to the streets in hundreds of American cities to protest the passage of California's gay-marriage-stalling Proposition 8. From that vantage point, temporally suspended between the two events that defined the election for me and almost everyone I know, Milk was, in part, a premonition. I left the theater feeling that the Seattle protest march on November 15 might very well look like Harvey Milk's 1970s San Francisco.
It did, minus the mustaches and whistles and long hair (sigh), but with the added power of being part of a national outcry rather than just a one-city demonstration project. Now, watching Milk in the afterglow of those Prop 8 protests, one is likely to experience an odd kind of political flashback, with the onscreen protest scenes from a decades-distant history triggering memories of real-life protest scenes from the very recent past.
What Americans—especially gay Americans and their political allies—make of this backward déjà vu will be important. There will no doubt be a certain pride at feeling that Milk's legacy of in-the-streets activism is alive and well. But, if the facts are considered, beneath that pride will be a certain amount of disappointment. Disappointment that we're still having this insane debate so many years after Milk, with his trademark humor and fury, called it insane in the streets of the Castro. And disappointment that in 2008, gay Californians were not able to beat back an antigay statewide proposition in the same way that Milk, as the film reminds us, beat back the antigay Proposition 6 in California in 1978.
The cold fact is that gay-rights advocates, for all their outrage and action after Prop 8 passed, were not able to successfully implement the simple lessons of the Milk-led victory over Prop 6: Talk to your opponents, win over as many of them as you can on the merits of your argument, and, because you'll never win them all over, do everything in your power to expand your urban base and drive your core supporters to the polls. (One has to wonder about the impact Milk's lessons might have had on Prop 8, had it been released on screens throughout California before the vote.)
Yes, many details of the two proposition fights are different: Prop 6 was about very basic civil rights (the right of homosexuals to teach in public schools and the right of nonhomosexuals to "support" them) and not about the somewhat tougher issue of marriage. Yes, Prop 6 had even Ronald Reagan against it at the time. But 30 years have passed since 1978. A new Republican governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was against Prop 8. And huge resources were devoted to the gay-rights side, more than Milk could ever have marshaled.
So what happened?
The answer probably begins with the old story about how successful movements create their own obsolescence. Harvey Milk's legacy was to make gay Californians, and ultimately all gay Americans, more comfortable. The problem, it seems, is that too many got way too comfortable far too soon. Milk would have been furious.

Silvestre - Consistency is key
Mikael Silvestre is eyeing consistency after Arsenal made it back-to-back wins in all competitions.
By James Dall
Last Updated: 22/10/08 3:08pm
Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre is eyeing consistency after the Gunners made it back-to-back wins in all competitions.
Arsene Wenger's side have endured a patchy start to the season following Premier League losses to Fulham and Hull City, and a late draw at Sunderland.
However, Arsenal have demonstrated they are returning to form after victories over Everton last weekend and Fenerbahce in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
Silvestre, who signed at Emirates Stadium from rivals Manchester United this summer, cast an experienced figure in Turkey as he marshalled a largely make-shift backline.
The final
He said: "At United, I didn't have to shout that much to guide my partners. It is a responsibility, but when I signed for Arsenal I accepted it straight away.
"It was not easy to come here with a good atmosphere against us and I think we coped not too bad with the experienced players we played against.
"It was a good game to improve and learn from. Hopefully we can get some consistency."
The Frenchman added on the club's official website: "We are looking to guarantee that we finish top of this group as early as possible so that we can get ready for the next step.
"Our aim is to play the kind of football that can take us to the final."

These past two weeks took their toll on my physical and emotional self. I had a scheduled business trip to Las Vegas, followed by a three-day manager building, "skills institute" seminar I was 'volunteered' to attend back in New York. Confidence in the quality of my writing ability became septic. My race training has taken on a daily intensity that leaves my muscles feeling like aspic. Then, hello dysphoria my unwelcome Olympus Mons. Feigning happiness during these weeks, took its toll on me. So much so, I began pining for pursuits I missed out on, taking solace in the misery of ruing my roads not travelled.
Through some ironic twist, I ceased seeing myself as female
What brought me here is of importance to me and my therapist. That I arrived, is what I care to share. Through some ironic twist, I ceased seeing myself as female. Nor did I regress to feeling male neither. I felt…like "I" didn't "fit." All this Estrogen coursing through my systems saying, "girl, what the ef is wrong?"
"Shut up, you absolutely know!"
"Lets talk this out, I'm not ready to…."
I was punishing myself for what I didn't do in my life. What I knew I should have had the opportunity to strive for. I love the visual and writing arts, SFX, filmmaking. All of it. I can say it is what I'm built for. Would I have been born fully female from the womb, I would have pursued all those endeavors. Success or failure wasn't the point, what I missed was opportunity. I built defense mechanisms as a coping strategy for my insecure youth of who/what I was. I shielded my life behind regret.
A feature defense mechanism of mine is to recoil. When people would begin getting close, sharing, I would feel the terror of conflict rise inside. How can I reciprocate? Playing "over protective mother" to myself, throughout my life, I would orchestrate events to alienate and push people away before any divulgence occurred. Safe, but far afield from sound. Ironic, that I was now in conflict with my very self.
My Mephistopheles of insecurity and fear resurfaced in fetid fashion. I began systematically imploding. I stopped taking care of myself. Nothing seemed to matter. I pushed away the two people who loved me the most, and of whom I loved and cared for above everything. I felt paralyzing guilt for dragging them down with me.
I stopped working on my screenplay. I also ceased handing in screenwriting homework assignments, consequentially, being dropped from the class. Writing, my golden love, became unimportant. Even submitting my next article for Transgender Universe felt daunting. What was I doing? It all felt pointless.
Training for my most vigorous [insane] endurance challenge of my life, became futile. Every training session, every exercise, every routine I made more daunting by being so negative at my accomplishments.
And then…Orlando. The Pulse. When I heard the newscaster jump to 'terrorism', I tuned out. I hadn't yet digested any significant information to jump to that conclusion, neither had much information been yet available. But terrorism seemed a news worthy, sensationalist explanation. Then it became a massacre against the LGBT community. I became enraged. The act of utter violence waged against members of the LGBT community, my community. It was NOT terrorism.
Something switched inside me. I realized I was out of balance. My mind, body, spirit and emotion were all akimbo. I needed to bring my 'self' back into balance.
I realized that punishing myself for my past was puerile. The roads I did travel brought me here, to this very moment. Being involved in a relationship with a woman who challenges me to be the best I can; sees worth in me. Priceless. I write for an ever expanding web site promoting a positive and honest LGBT community. Priceless. I resurrected my screenplay, and was also allowed back in the screenwriting class. Training has taken renewed focus and vigor. Priceless. Now have TONS to catch up on -bring it!
My skills may have aged, but so does wine and cheese. My roads not travelled parallel in scope to the roads I have travelled. I have achieved my female center, and retaining it will be slippery. Any journey worth taking is worth all the risks and rewards. Each day is a gift, open it with a smile.

As part of a child's first speech evaluation, I meet with the parents to learn more about their child through their eyes. The meeting is technically an interview although my intention is to make it more of a conversation as the parents answer an array of questions such as "what is your child's favorite activity?" to "how does your child tell you something." I very much enjoy getting to know the parents, hearing their concerns and expectations, creating a bond since we are a team in helping their little one. I must admit that there are times when our "first team meeting" is a little uneasy. The meeting goes something like this…
Mom on the edge of her seat…wringing her hands…her forced smile is keeping her tears welled up in her eyes. She is anxious to tell her story. I see her FEAR.
Dad sits down in a huff…folds his arms in a DEFENSIVE manner…lowers his chin while raising his one eyebrow. I can see he is QUESTIONING.
Mom answers each question quickly while handing me typed up observations along with her child's developmental milestones. She provides over information out of FEAR as she tries to overcompensate for the DEFENSIVE behavior her husband is displaying.
As Mom describes with great praise what their child is achieving developmentally on or ahead of schedule and with concern, mixed with sadness, what their child is not doing developmentally Dad frequently interjects. With a clinched jaw he states, "The child's stubborn." I can feel his DENIAL. With a shocked look he says, "He/she will grow out of it" and "My mother told me I didn't talk until I was 5 and I can talk now!" I hear the anger in his statements that are text book MISDIRECTION.
I understand and sympathize with the yin/yang dynamics of these families during what can be an emotional time as they come to terms that their child needs help. I am married to a concrete thinking, black/white with no-shades-of-grey-kind of guy who requires research and data…pure and simple. I can immediately recognize and relate to this parent personality from the second we shake hands. I respect their perspective. I know that in time, their child's success in working with me will be the concrete evidence that this parent needs to open up to therapy. In fact, I have coined an affectionate term for this parental genre as the "non-believer."
Take a moment and visualize once again the meeting I described above. The parents' body language, vocal tone and attitude towards speech therapy are polar opposites but what they may not realize is that they are bound by the same emotion…FEAR.
For believers, fear comes from intuitively knowing that something is wrong with your child yet unable to pin point the problem. The longer it takes to get a correct diagnosis, the more likely that fear (and hours of googling symptoms) manifests into the "worst case scenario". For non-believers, fear comes from the feeling powerless that they, alone, cannot find a solution. Non-believers are fixers. They get deep satisfaction and validation from problem solving. By agreeing to therapy, they believe that they are admitting out-loud, to a total stranger, that something is wrong with their child and they cannot fix the problem alone. Non-believers come into our first meeting angry/upset that they cannot solely fix their child's speech issue. They believe that family fixes family problems…not an outsider, and definitely not a therapist!
As I speak to this family, I see their FEAR, DENIAL, MISDIRECTION (i.e., top 3 non-believer reasons) but I also see their deep love of their child. It is this universal love that opens the door to HOPE which is the catalyst for positive change. After years of experience as a therapist, I have seen the concrete evidence that positive change is possible through speech therapy. Speech therapy integrates the core foundations of child development, linguistics, anatomy/physiology, phonetics, speech science & child pyschology with the child and his/her team (the therapist & the family). Together positive change is not only possible but probable.
So how do I "convert" the non-believer to a believer of speech therapy?
1. Education- I empower my parents with knowledge and include them in every step of therapy. I also explain the theory and rationale for each goal and activity. I answer the common question of "why am I paying "good money" to watch my therapist blow bubbles or play Candy Land with my child?" with specific reasons/theories as to how it will help their child.
2. Practice- Non-Believers understand that practice makes perfect so I give them the tools to encourage practice at home. I model in therapy exactly what I want the parents to do. I always give homework but not to worry, I am a busy working who is fully aware that the bewitching hour (4-7 pm) is hard enough so I will never ask my families to do anything I couldn't feasibly do.
3. Progress- Yes, this is final stage of cross over. This is when the non-believer parent sees the concrete evidence that the child is improving from therapy. It is truly humbling for me the first time the "non-believer" parent walks through my door with a spring in their step, asking to engage in therapy, and the folded arms and questioning looks are replaced with a smile and enthusiasm.
**this post was based on my experiences with families over the years. However the term "non-believer" can apply to either parent, aunt, uncle, or grandparent."**

NHL News: Player News and Updates for 10/4/14
NHL Daily Updates: Checking in on the Latest News, Off-Season Schedule and More
October 4, 2014
See the Latest Odds
We're now just four days away from the official start to the 2014-15 NHL season, and the anticipation is palpable. There are plenty of headlines and news items to go over in the meantime, so with that in mind let's take our daily look around the league and see who everyone's talking about.
We doubt the Canucks' Eddie Lack will get any ice time in today's final preseason game against the Oilers, so let's take a look at his exhibition stats and see where he's at heading into the regular campaign.
Lack was stellar in the preseason, logging a grand total of 57 saves on the 58 shots that came his way. That translates into a nifty .983 save percentage.
Those numbers will give the Vancouver coaching staff quite a bit to think about. Currently, Lack is No. 2 behind Ryan Miller, but the early indications seem to state he'll be getting his fair share of starts as the season progresses--if he can keep it up.
USA TODAY Sports
The Islanders' Matt Carkner wasn't able to make it onto the ice yesterday in the team's last preseason game, as he's still nursing an upper-body injury. He's considered day-to-day, but there's been some concern that he may be in danger of missing out on the season opener October 10. Stay tuned.
The team made it official yesterday: Winger Tomas Tatar's preseason is all finished. He won't be playing this weekend as the Red Wings complete their exhibition schedule, thanks to the concussion he sustained a little while back.
That said, Tatar's injury was considered mild and the general consensus seems to state that he'll be okay for the regular-season opener on October 9.
Good news for the Panthers. Defenseman Dmitry Kulikov was able to return to the practice ice yesterday.
There had been some concern over Kulikov's condition after he took a puck to the foot during the team's preseason game on Thursday, but it appears he's A-OK and should be fine when the regular season gets going.
NHL Daily Schedule: The league action will be picking back up again on Wednesday, October 8. Let's check out the schedule for that evening and see what we can expect on opening.
Wednesday, October 8, 2014:
Montreal Canadiens at Toronto Maple Leafs
Philadelphia Flyers at Boston Bruins
Vancouver Canucks at Calgary Flames
San Jose Sharks at Los Angeles Kings
NHL Off-Season Schedule: Let's keep our hockey fix going with a look at the remaining 2014 off-season calendar. There's been quite a bit of action keeping us occupied so far, and we've still got more to look forward to.

Troubled Tour Resumes; Steels Wins 18th Stage
By Francois Thomazeau
Thursday, July 30, 1998; 1:02 p.m. EDT
Belgian Tom Steels claimed his third stage win in this year's Tour in Neuchatel as the race resumed after a day of chaos.
Steels' record on this Tour reads like a summary of the race he won a first stage in Dublin, when news emerged that a Festina team masseur had been arrested, a second in Le Cap d'Agde, when riders went on strike, and the third Thursday, 24 hours after the 17th stage ended in chaos amidst police raids and teams pulling out.
The Belgian outsprinted German Erik Zabel and Australian Stuart O'Grady at the end of this 135.4-mile 18th stage from Aix-les-Bains.
Italian Marco Pantani, who kept his overall leader's yellow jersey, said: "We agreed with Tour organizers to go on with the race. To give up would only make things worse and would be like admitting we have things to hide."
Tour director Jean-Marie Leblanc said Thursday he was confident the Tour would be completed.
"All together, we are going to complete this Tour like 84 previous Tours were completed," he said at the start of the 18th stage from Aix-les-Bains to Neuchatel, in Switzerland.
"We are only four days away from the end of the race and to reach Paris will be for us a great reward," he added.
In Reims, where a judge is currently investigating doping charges against the Dutch team TVM, the prosecutor's office confirmed the team's riders would be quizzed by the judge, but only after the end of the race.
Police in Lille, who raided three team hotels in Chambery Wednesday as part of their investigations into the Festina team, said they had completed all the searches and questioning they planned.
Riders had threatened to quit if more police raids took place.
Five teams pulled out of the race in the last 24 hours, mostly after instructions from their sponsors. All Spanish teams in the Tour ONCE, Banesto, Vitaliio and Kelme and Italian squad Riso Scotti have withdrawn.
Kelme owner Alvaro Pino said: "The treatment of the cyclists was totally unjust and because of this, Kelme-Costa Blanca have opted to withdraw from the competition."
Manuel Saiz, whose ONCE-Deutsche Bank team was the first to pull out Wednesday, said: "The Tour has treated us very badly."
The ONCE director also hit out at Wednesday's stage which was raced without numbers and at half pace describing it as a "pantomime."
The Tour continued Thursday with only 103 riders.
Hearings continued in Chambery as Italian Rodolfo Massi, who was leading the best climber classification, was held for questioning by the police following a raid aimed at his Casino team Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear why Massi, who missed the start, was being questioned but police sources said corticoids had been found in his room. Corticoids are not necessarily banned products.
La Francaise des Jeux team director Marc Madiot was also held in Chambery but he was released Thursday afternoon.
A ONCE team doctor and a TVM masseur were also detained.
Leblanc denounced what he called "harassment from justice and the media" but said the Tour was going on for the public.
"We will do it out of respect for spectators and television viewers," he said.
"I wish to thank those who remained solid and especially the 103 riders who were at the start this morning," added Leblanc.

The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron of Action on Addiction, visited the charity's Centre for Addiction Treatment Studies in Warminster, Wiltshire this morning.
She was given an overview of its work providing training, education and professional development for those working in addiction and other related fields.
Kate arrived wearing a new Reiss 'Rubik' houndstooth coat (US$620). The Rubik wrap coat is woven with a striking houndstooth pattern. It has a high neck and removable self-belt. It is still available to purchase from Reiss, Harrods and Bloomingdales.
It appears that the Duchess is developing a fondness for houndstooth this season! In September, she debuted the Ralph Lauren 'Austin' houndstooth shirt dress for her first day back to royal duties following maternity leave.
Today, Kate accessorized with her trusty black suede Mulberry 'Bayswater' clutch and Stuart Weitzman 'Power' Pumps.
She also wore her Sapphire & Diamond Oval Drop Earrings.
During the visit, Kate took off her coat to reveal the beautiful Emilia Wickstead 'Alice' frock.
The bespoke teal coatdress was first seen in New Zealand during the 2014 royal tour. The Duchess also owns this style in pink.
Kate's Mappin & Webb Empress pendant necklace completed the look.

COLUMBUS - Heavy rains and thunderstorms forced the four GHSA state golf tournaments being held in Columbus on Monday to reschedule.
The Class A boys tournament at Green Island Golf Club will begin at 8 a.m. today, and the Class A girls tournament at Bull Creek Golf Club will begin at 9 a.m. today.
The Savannah Christian and Savannah Country Day boys teams and the Savannah Christian girls team were affected by the change.
The Class AAA boys and girls tournaments will now be played May 10.
Today's weather forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and a 20-percent chance or rain.
The Class A boys and girls will be dealing with soggy courses.
"The biggest thing is just seeing how the girls are all going to be able to deal with a wet course," Pacelli girls coach Alan Griffin said. "There are probably going to have to be a few changes to help them as far as letting them lift, clean and place and some other little things like that."
Many teams from outside Columbus were offered passes to go bowling or directions to the mall and movie theaters as coaches scrambled to find a way to occupy their athletes.
Tennis also postponed
Golf was not the only high school state tournament affected by the rain Monday.
The Brookstone boys and girls teams were to host the teams from Savannah Country Day. Those matches have been postponed to today with the boys playing at 9 a.m. and the girls at 10:30.

St Elphin's Park £6m Restoration and Redevelopment
Architect: Francis Associates
Main Contractor: Balfour Beatty
Sub Contractor: Head Brickwork
Merchant: Builbase Civils & Lintels Huthwaite
Naylor Lintels Supplied: Hi Spec & Fire Spec
Exceptional homes in the perfect location – £6 million restoration and redevelopment.
St Elphin's Park retirement village is set within 14-acres of landscaped grounds, located within the Derbyshire Dales and on the border of the Peak District National Park, with Matlock and Bakewell close by.
The centrepiece building, St Elphin's House, started life as a private residence, becoming an exclusive spa in the 19th century, and latterly, a well-known girls' boarding school, St Elphin's Girls School. This Victorian schoolhouse has been restored stone by stone so that now it houses the Audley Club, with its luxury health club, fitness pool, Bistro Bar and the Orangery Restaurant.
Surrounding the Victorian grandeur of St Elphin's House, and built to echo the appeal of a traditional Derbyshire hamlet, are attractively designed retirement properties including apartments, cottages and mews cottages.
The first phase of apartment blocks C & D were completed in December 2015 with the final phase of development, Block A & B, Pollard Way (home to 32 one, two and three bedroom apartments) due for completion summer 2017.

OK, so Sunday night, husband, child, and I walked into Shamrock's intending to enjoy a tasty tasty burger and fries. They were completely packed - 20 minutes for a table (!). Yay for Shamrocks, but we were hungry and pressed for time , so we decided to try the hoagies at Hot City Pizza (just across Randolph) instead.
We live in the West Seventh 'hood and used to order Hot City pizza all the time (it's really good for flatbread-style pizza), but had kind of forgotten about it since Pizza Luce moved to St. Paul. Anyway, I was really pleased with the "Philly Style" meatball sandwich I ordered, so I thought I'd tell y'all about it.
It was like an Americanized banh mi, in a really good way. The bun was "pretty good" - not standout, but a good, supportive canvas for the rest of the ingredients to fill.
Inside the sandwich I found: very tasty, pleasantly mushy meatballs; Italian-American marinara sauce; pickled peppers; and, surprisingly, very salty pickled carrots, all covered with a well-proportioned layer of melted mozzarella. Tas-ty!
I'm not familiar with what constitutes "Philly Style," but those pickled veggies were so good with the meatballs! Piques of crispy freshness where you'd least expect it.
Worth driving across town for? No. But a good option if you're in the neighborhood and tired of the same old same old.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — It wasn't exactly a hero's welcome, but Mitt Romney received a heartfelt and enthusiastic reception from conservative activists Friday afternoon.
In his first public speech since losing to President Barack Obama in November, the former Republican presidential nominee said thank you to those who supported him and tried to push him over the top.
"Of course, I left the race disappointed that I didn't win," Romney said as scattered boos echoed from the Conservative Political Action Conference audience.
He recounted some of the many people he and wife Ann met during the campaign, including single mothers and hardworking fathers.
"It's fashionable in some circles to be pessimistic about America," Romney said. "I utterly reject pessimism."
He praised a nation that, despite its hegemonic power, has not used its capabilities for revenge or resources, but that has been "so often used to liberate others."
"As someone who just lost the last election, I'm probably not the best one to chart the course for the next one," Romney said, but urged conservatives to look to the 30 Republican governors in the U.S. as success stories for the future — particularly those in blue or purple states.
"I'm sorry I won't be your president, but I will be your coworker and I'll work shoulder-to-shoulder alongside you," Romney said. "I want to thank you again for your support and help along the journey."

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative
Benefits of Nature Conservancy GLRI Projects
- Improved drinking water quality
- Restored habitat for native wildlife and fish
- Increased opportunities for recreation—hunting, fishing, boating and wildlife-viewing
- Improved waterways for commercial and sport fisheries
- Restored coastal marshes, interior wetlands and floodplains
- Protected groundwater resources
The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) was launched in 2010 to accelerate efforts to protect and restore the largest system of fresh surface water in the world—the Great Lakes. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, it is the largest investment in the Great Lakes in two decades.
GLRI targets the most significant problems confronting communities in the Great Lakes basin: degradation caused by invasive species, pollution and contaminants.
Federal agencies frequently work with nonfederal partners, such as The Nature Conservancy, to use GLRI resources strategically and to accelerate progress toward long-term goals.
The Nature Conservancy in Ohio has received funding through the program to restore, protect and maintain the health of Lake Erie.
Nature Conservancy GLRI Projects in Ohio
A significant component of GLRI work in Ohio involves habitat restoration. Since the inception of GLRI funding, the Conservancy has worked with a wide range of partners to facilitate the management of more than 14,000 acres. Much of this work is focused on controlling invasive plants, which are crowding out native plants, eliminating wildlife habitat, and sometimes changing the way water flows over the land and into the lake. Other types of GLRI-funded restoration work are aimed at reestablishing the natural water flow between wetlands and tributaries, improving migratory bird and fish habitat, and enhancing water quality.
The Conservancy also is utilizing GLRI funding to help implement Agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs)—practical, cost-effective actions that agricultural producers can take to reduce the amount of pollutants entering our water resources and conserve water supply.
The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative has helped to fund the following Nature Conservancy projects since 2010, contributing to the creation of 70 jobs:
- Western Lake Erie Coastal Wetlands - The Conservancy has utilized GLRI funding to protect nearly 9,000 acres of coastal wetlands in the Western Lake Erie Basin. Tactics include invasive species management, habitat restoration, reestablishment of natural water flow and more.
- Maumee River Watershed – In this region the Conservancy has focused GLRI funding on reducing sediment and nutrients in the Maumee River—an important tributary to Lake Erie. Projects include the development of outreach events and materials aimed at influencing agricultural practices, as well as the implementation of best management practices on nearly 1,700 acres of cover crops and nutrient management plans, 1.5 miles of two-stage ditch, and 7.4 miles of filter strips along existing waterways.
- Oak Openings Region – GLRI funding in the Oak Openings Region of Northwest Ohio is being used to protect the rare natural communities that exist in this globally significant ecosystem. Nearly 3,000 acres have been treated for invasive species and/or restored in order to improve important habitat and improve water quality.
- Central Lake Erie – Invasive species control is the Conservancy's focus in the Central Lake Erie Basin, through which the Grand and Ashtabula Rivers flow on their way to Lake Erie. Nearly 2,500 acres have been treated with GLRI funding, within the Grand and Ashtabula River watersheds, and at popular recreation areas along Lake Erie's coastline.
