Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Beha'alotecha - Haftarah
Rabbi Dr. Gidon Rothstein
The first section of the haftarah has Zachariah telling Jerusalem to rejoice in her future redemption, when God will come and reside in her midst. The section closes with a call for "all flesh" to be silent before God, having said before that that "many nations" will come to see God as their deity as well.
Note the two sides—the other nations will be part of the future, and will accept our version of the One True God. At the same time, the Jewish relationship with God will continue to be different and special, as God is portrayed as residing in our midst. That mix of universalism, being concerned with all nations' sharing in the future for which we long, and particularism, being aware that we are and always will be special and different, characterizes Judaism and our view of the future.
The Midrash notes that verse 13 connects Jerusalem's rejoicing to God's residing in her midst, suggesting that the redemption will not be complete when people return to Jerusalem, the return of a Davidic kingship to Jerusalem, or even when the nations of the world come to accept our version of God and how God relates to the world. Jerusalem's full rejuvenation only happens when God's Presence is once again ensconced in the city.
Another Midrash, incidentally, understands the reference to God "awakening" from His Holy Place to say that God's Presence has in fact never left the Temple Mount, that it is now dormant, awaiting events that allow it to reveal itself. I find such a picture stimulating, reminding me of those who see prophecy as tapping into a Voice that is always present in the world, but only certain special people manage to hear.
Two Connected Stories: Joshua's Rejuvenation and the Menorah
Moving on to the rest of the haftarah, chapters 3 and 4 seem to tell of two different prophecies, one in which Zachariah sees Joshua, the High Priest, with Satan standing on his right and dressed in soiled clothing. The second, the Menorah vision, chapter 4, tells of the Menorah that Zachariah saw. The traditional grouping of the text splits the visions differently, grouping the High Priest with the vision of the Menorah and its symbolism. After a full break, we are given the interpretation of other aspects of the Menorah vision.
In the first story, Joshua has two problems that need to be solved, Satan and the clothing. While God takes care of the first, the clothing remain, a reminder that even after we overcome our evil inclinations, the distractions that lure us from serving God, we still need to cleanse ourselves of the dirt of those past sins.
The Imperfect Priest: Does It Affect His Service?
To explain why the High Priest's clothing is soiled, Rashi says it refers to Joshua's descendants marrying non-Jews. Rashi assumes that the actions of children and grandchildren reflect back on the ancestor. It is not enough to have children; raising them, setting them on a path where they will raise their own children properly, is all a part of what it means to have fulfilled the commandment of procreation.
An alternate view thinks Joshua's clothing was dirtied when he was thrown in the fire. In that story, following the successful escape of Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah from the furnace, Nebuchadnezzar challenged the two false prophets, Ahab and Zidkiyah, to reproduce that feat. They protested that there were three when Hananiah and the others were thrown in, and the numbers provided safety; Nebuchadnezzar agreed, and threw Joshua in along with them.
In the Talmud's view, the two were burned up and Joshua saved, but singed by having been thrown in in such proximity to evil. Here again, Joshua is seen as a person of great personal piety caught up in surrounding events that leave him damaged, with dirty clothing as the metaphor.
Human Input into the Future
In the vision, the angels replace Joshua's dirtied clothing with clean ones, and Zachariah adds that they should put a "pure hat" on him. Worth emphasizing is that Zachariah says to do it; he is not just a witness, he is an active member of the team remaking Joshua. So, too, Joshua is told that he and his descendants can guarantee a positive future, as long as they do what God wants.
Zachariah's readiness to make a suggestion perhaps explains why he is expected to understand the vision of the Menorah on his own. The angel tells him that it shows that God's spirit is what guarantees success, which does not quite explain the whole vision. The haftarah then closes by saying that no mountain can stand before Zerubavel, and that the foundation stone will be turned into a building of remarkable beauty.
Since Zachariah's prophecy occurs during the rebuilding of the second Temple, his words could be seen as a reaction to the building of a House not nearly as magnificent as King Solomon's. The Menorah is a sign of the Spirit of God, the key ingredient to any kind of future success, whether it be Joshua's, as in our haftarah, or Zerubavel's, the political leader of Zachariah's time.
Conclusion: The Menorah as a Central Sign of the Priests' Service
Although there is much more to be said, what we have seen already explains why this Menorah vision connects so well to the Torah reading. As Rashi tells us, Aaron was disheartened by the gifts offered by the heads of the tribes, since he could not give one. The insights about the Menorah in our haftarah tell us what God meant by reminding him that he was given the service of the Menorah.
The people in the outside world have much to accomplish, and donate some of that in impressive ways to the service of God, but Aaron and his sons, forbidden by God from being ordinary, hold the key not just to the Temple but to the success of the entire people. Certainly as great a legacy.

Long Beach constructs 12-foot wall from mulch to reduce noise and visual pollution of Terminal Island Freeway. The project cost $150,000.
Evidently, mulch covers more than dirt. Long Beach used the stuff to reduce noise and unsightly trucks along the heavily traveled Terminal Island Freeway. The Great Wall of Mulch rises 12 feet high, is 3 feet wide, and extends 600 feet — the length of Hudson Park on the West Side. The total project cost $150,000.
"The Great Wall of Mulch demonstrates how the City of Long Beach continues to strive for more innovative and unique solutions for environmental issues, including reducing the level of noise from the freeway," said Mayor Bob Foster.

Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron (1 1/2")
Join the Conversation
Helpful TipsFirst, get a good hair cut. It doesnt have to be expensive (I get my hair cut for about 14 dollars) but make sure that your stylist knows how to deal with your type of hair and that you trust them to cut your hair. When it comes to straightening, I always blow-dry my hair first to ensure that it is 100 percent dry. To blow dry I spray in Infusium 23 and then use a tiny (think M&M sized) drop of BioSilk. I also highly recomend using the Revo Styler as opposed to a regular round brush because the Revo rotates while brushing your hair so you have no snaggs or breakage. Hope this helps you ladies! :)Reply to this postJan 11, 2010Link to this post
Shiny And Silky StraightTo get your hair straight and silky after you straighten it you need to wash your hair at night,sleep on it,then wake up and straighten it.It always works for me and it makes your hair alot smoother and if your hair is broke off you cant tell as much.Reply to this postJan 11, 2010Link to this post
Multicultural HairThis is how I straighten my hair. 1. Wash hair with suave shampoo. 2. Massage alot of suave conditioner in hair. I leave it for about and hour. 3. Rinse condtioner out 4. Spray Biolage thermal treatment on wet hair. 5. Blow dry hair 6. rub kera care creme press into hair 7. Part hair in sections and use kera care for individual sections if needed and begin to straighten hair. After Im done straitghtening my hair I tie it up and then wait untill the next morning and style my hair how I want to. I use the sedu at a temperature of 320.Reply to this postJan 11, 2010Link to this post
Redken Smoothdown Works GreatI always thought Redken Smoothdown was a hoax, but I realized how to get the most of out this iron through the Redken system. 1. Use Redken Smoothdown Shampoo and Conditioner. The first few times you wash/condition with it, you will not notice too much of a frizz difference. By the 5th-6th time you wash/condition with it, your hair will be amazingly less frizzy and smooth. 2. Put in BioSilk Therapy on wet hair. 3. Iron with Sedu as you like (in sections). 4. Do not spray other things after ironing, because your hair will become oily much more quickly than if you just leave it natural.Reply to this postJan 11, 2010Link to this post
If You Aren't Happy With Results YetMy hair is thick, curly, and frizzy (Im Italian). Of course always use good quality products for straightening and moisturizing hair, and leave conditioner in for at least 2-3 minutes. Here are my other tips: 1. Find a hairdresser who understands thick, curly hair. My first salvation was someone who texturized (thinned) my hair. Dont let anyone tell you it isnt good for your hair! My stylist has texturizing scissors that take bigger pieces out. She cuts my hair in layers and then "texturizes" the bottom 1-2 inches of each layer, leaving the ends of each layer thinner so there are not blunt, choppy layers. Thin if I wear my hair curly, the curls taper to a thinner look thats not so thick! 2. Only salon products work well enough for me. I HAVE to have Smoothnn Straightening Balm by Eufora. I use a half-dollar size dollop with about 3-4 drops of Pure Polish by Eufora. Theres nothing like it! 3. My hair wont straighten correctly with drying and ironing alone. I have to dry my hair with a hot air brush first. I have the Hot Tools Ionic Hot Air Brush, which works ok but its a piece of crap. It broke after 2 mos. and I am waiting for my replacement. Find a better one. The Ionic technology helps make my hair smoother. Be sure to pull at the roots while drying before your hair can develop kinks near the head. I dry in sections, starting at the bottom. I put my wet hair up at the top of my head loosely with a clip. If the top hair in the clip starts to dry while Im doing the bottom I re-spray the top w/ water. Once I get a kink in my hair from the clip its very hard to get out! 4. Make sure the sections are SMALL! 5. I have the flat iron plugged in while Im drying. The hot air brush leaves my hair somewhat smooth but a little wavy and the ends still curl up with the hot air brush - not what I want. I then iron the small section BEFORE I EVEN DRY THE NEXT SECTION. If I dry it all then clip it up in sections to iron, I develop kinks where the clip was. It works better if I wash my hair and style in the evening. It usually looks too full for my taste at that point, but after sleeping on it it looks better and I can touch it up the next day. I also put a few drops of Pure Polish on my hands and run them through my dry hair to help. I cant get this iron to slightly curl my ends in or out like Id like so if I want the ends not to be poker straight I have to use a wide barrel (1-1/2 inch) curling iron for finishing touches. Then I dont wash it for 3 days cuz I dont want to go through it again!Reply to this postJan 11, 2010Link to this post

Outsourced: Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry Reinstated
March 16, 2009: Chaudhry (center) surrounded by celebrating supporters
In the latest news from the South Asian continent, Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry has finally been reinstated to his bench (for the second time). To truly appreciate this news, we have to do a bit of a recap. Former Pakistani President, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, first appointed Chaudhry to the bench in 2000. Until he was elevated to Chief Justice in 2005, Iftikhar Chaudhry did not seem to go out of his way to carve an independent path for the judiciary, usually voting with the majority; he even sat on the bench during the case that legitimized Musharraf's military takeover. Regardless, when Chaudhry became the youngest ever Chief Justice of Pakistan's Supreme Court, he really dug in his heels and started work that made him a "symbol of justice" in the eyes of many.
From creating a "separate human rights cell at the court" to forcing Pakistan's intelligence agencies to admit they were holding people in secret custody, it's very easy to say that Chaudhry quickly got on the wrong side of the government. In March 2007, Chaudhry was asked to step down but instead refused Musharraf's reprimands and faced the charges — actions which propelled him to a hero status for thousands of lawyers, who stormed Lahore, Pakistan in protest. Thankfully, in July 2007, Chaudhry was reinstated.

#55 Dwell in the Heart – A Melchizedek Lineage Message
Greetings, beloved. You are presently experiencing a time of major transformation.
Everyone on your planet is going through a period of transformation, some more dramatic than others. Your outer world is undergoing change as well. You may be wondering how to best navigate this experience. The answer is to remain centered in your heart, as an observer.
When you find yourself off-center, and you will, gently bring yourself back to your heart and embrace the feeling of love.
The more you remain centered in your heart embracing love, the more you will experience a loving world. You may see unloving acts in the world as a whole; when you do, it will benefit you to be a detached, compassionate observer.
As you and other conscious beings on your planet remain centered in the heart, embracing the feeling of love, the energy will spread and permeate your world. Your loving energy will directly affect you in a positive way and, because all is connected, others will be affected as well, in turn spreading the energy and raising the frequency of the whole.
Your part in the grand scheme of things is quite simple: stay centered in your heart as a detached observer embracing love.
We of the higher realms are willing to be of assistance a when you request it.
You are loved beyond your knowing.
Randy's Comments:
For me, the practice of being heart-centered is essential for maintaining a high vibration, and thereby living a joyful life experience. It is a very simple process. The challenging part is to use it on a continual basis. I find that it's like meditating: when one's mind starts to wander during meditation (which is normal), the meditator gently brings their attention back to the focus of the meditation, whether it is a mantra, their breathing or something else. The same is true with this practice. I endeavor to stay heart-centered throughout my day; when I find that I'm not, I bring my focus back to my heart. I also bring forth the feeling of love from time to time as I bring my attention to my heart.
I have discovered that I can maintain a light altered state by having part of my attention on my heart area and part of it on whatever I'm doing. The benefit of being in a light trance state is that we are more open to receive wisdom and guidance from the higher realms.
If you'd like to know what it feels like, close your eyes and spend a few moments with your attention on your heart area (you can include the feeling of love). Gently open your eyes retaining attention on your heart area and look at something in your environment. Part of your focus is on your heart area and the other part is on whatever you are looking at.
This practice also helps to still my mind and be present in the moment.
I also sometimes meditate focusing on my heart area as I embrace the feeling of love. I find that meditating in this way brings forth a very expansive feeling in my heart area.
Another way to practice is to maintain part of your attention on your heart center as you take a walk or carry on a conversation.
Be joyful, embrace life and thrive!
With love,

What a crummy start to a day . . .
Saturday wasn't the greatest of days. It started out by my realizing that when I dropped my phone Friday evening, the screen had cracked and the display was basically useless. For most people this wouldn't be all that bad, but for me, my phone is my life. It's a Palm One Treo 650 with an LCD display. So now when people, clients or otherwise, call, I can't tell who is calling. In addition the key to open my keyboxes and other agent's boxes is also an application on my phone that I can no longer see. Small victory though, I do know that application well enough to navigate it without seeing the icons, it's just a pain. So I had to go to Sprint to order a new phone. It'll be here Wednesday.So the day started out pretty crappy. So I went and did some pop-bys to cheer me up. Seeing my clients is always a good experience. They can show me what they've done to their home since moving in and I get to catch up with them. I'm glad I made the time this month to get out and see 50 of them. It's been time well spent. I also finally got caught up on closing gifts. Seems as though since my vacation in August, I've been woefully behind on seeing the people that closed while I was away. So that feels good too.
After pop-bys, I headed home for a couple hours of boob tube action. Teri was out shopping with her friend Kim, so I had a couple hours to kill. Once she got home, we headed to downtown Tacoma to meet a bunch of friends for dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory. We don't go there much because it's such a pain to get into. But the food is decent and CHEAP. A good time was had by all.

20 visualisations to health, wealth & happiness
Your inner mind has great power to enhance your life, bringing an avalanche of success and a flow of abundance. When you master the ability to keep images of victory and prosperity vividly in your mind, your outer reality merges magically with your inner power. It is then that the supremacy of your mind and the vividness of your imagination combine to bring all your needs, desires and wants into magical reality. Such is the power of visualizations. To master the techniques of mental imaging, you need to tune inwards and mentally remove all stains of outer negativities.
Practise visualizing images that show you surrounded by personal abundance; and picture yourself letting go of negativities. This is how luck works. It starts by making the mind positive and strong. Here are 20 easy ways to visualize your way to health, wealth and happiness.
1. Think of the sun
You can cheer yourself up just by thinking of sunny days. Coming out of the winter, the sun is especially embracing. And even in countries that get bright sunshine all year round, people never tire of the joy of sunshine. If you find yourself feeling down, depressed or low for any reason at all, visualize the sun and its powerful yang energy filling your entire being with strength and happiness. Better still, if there is sunshine outside, step outdoors and let yourself physically soak up the energy of the sun. You will feel instantly energized.
2. Shrug off negativities
Shrug off thoughts that eat into your self-confidence as if they were bits of fluff – as if they were nothing more than minor misdemeanors of the mind. Visualize your shoulders lifting and your head tilting as if to get rid of this kind of thinking. Negative thinking not only robs us of our confidence and self worth, they also make us needlessly afraid.
3. Radiate a silent power
Tap into unseen forces within you. Reach inside for the wisdom, strength and the power of silence. Use your inner force. Think of it as a bright, white light inside you. Feel it move along the meridians in your body, lighting up your heart, your throat, your head, and you will soon start to exude an effortless strength that speaks volumes. Tap the power inside yourself so that it may show up on the outside, in what you say, what you do and how you do it.
4. Pretend you are the best
The mind is a powerful tool, probably more powerful than any physical attributes or in-born talents you may have. So utilize the power of your mind as fully as you can. Start by pretending you are the best in whatever you are pursuing. If you are looking for career advancement, pretend you are the best in your field. If you are looking for first-rate exam results, imagine you are the top student. Reality begins with but a single thought. The more you think of yourself as the best, the nearer to your fantasy you will find yourself, until it becomes reality for you.
5. Take a new perspective
Try looking at an old routine in a new way. Or try looking at someone you see each day in a new way. Make yourself do this consciously. When you start to take control of your mind like this, you will be amazed at the fresh new insights that come to you, which can lead to some most exciting discoveries.
6. Keep initial goals easy
The secret to continuing success is simply to break down big goals into a series of little ones, and start with the easy goals while you slowly make your way up the learning curve. This strategy makes achievement a lot easier and more attainable. Everything can be broken down into smaller and more manageable parts; you just need to make the effort to do that breakdown in your mind. Once you have a plan, keep focused on the path you draw out for yourself, and your ultimate goal will come within reach.
7. Be careful what you wish for
Every positive thing you have read about the power of the mind is true. Fantasies can become realities if you just go on picturing them over and over again in your mind. But sometimes manifested fantasies don't turn out so good in the reality. So before you go wishing for things, be sure they are what you really want! In the harsh light of reality, fantasies can sometimes become nightmares!
8. Nothing is a coincidence
All of life's coincidences are in reality not coincidences at all. When you live in a state of constant awareness, it is not difficult to find the linkages between every event and every circumstance that happens, and every person who appears in your life at any moment in time. Everything happens for a reason. Think through the last few days of your life, all the thoughts that crossed your mind and all the things that happened. Then meditate on them and try to link them all. You might begin to realize some insights you had earlier missed!
9. Music affects you more than you think
Music will change the energies and the vibrations around you. Happy songs lift the spirits, while melancholic music makes you feel depressed, unhappy and lethargic. Sometimes when you feel sad for absolutely no reason at all, you'll find you've been listening to unhappy music. If you catch yourself doing that, switch to a happy tune and you will soon notice the difference. It is a good idea to make it a rule never to listen to melancholic music, as constantly playing something downbeat is like chanting a negative mantra!
10. Avoid negative people
In life, you will always come across the odd person who will make comments that annoy you, knock your confidence or make you doubt your self-worth. If you come across such a person, take what they say with a pinch of salt and imagine their negative comments evaporating into thin air or rolling off you like water off a duck's back. Such people can only get to you if you let them. So don't let them. You are stronger than that.
11. Get rid of blockages before they become permanent
It is the troubled spots in your mind that create obstacles to success, happiness and wellbeing. The Chinese are great believers in never allowing anything to obstruct the flow of chi – the life force – within the mind, body and space. Blocks can cause real problems, so whenever you become aware of a hang-up you have, get rid of it before it becomes permanent!
12. You can if you think you can
When you are given an assignment that you feel is beyond your scope, invest some time in boosting your own self-confidence. Often, it is not lack of ability that will stop you; rather, it is lack of confidence and lack of faith in yourself. You can move mountains if you believe you can. So if you are given a tough project to conquer, don't get fazed. Just get started.
13. Savour every good thing that happens
If you are on a roll, enjoy it! This happens when you are in perfect harmony with the cosmos and everything is going well for you. These are moments of triumph, of success and of victory. In times like these, savour the moment and be proud of it. Don't let anyone bring you back down to earth or rain on your parade.
14. Recall a courageous moment in your life
Whenever you feel yourself going through a patch in life when you feel particularly weak, inadequate or defeated, think of the last time you made a courageous decision or performed a courageous act. Courage is a feel-good attitude, and drawing on it from a first-person perspective is the very best way to pull yourself up from the doldrums.
15. Be careful what you record
People chronicle their lives in different ways. Some make photo albums, some write diaries, others pin up favourite family photos on their refrigerator. Whichever way you choose to chronicle your life, make sure you only record what you want to remember. Keep only photos where all the family are cheerful, happy and smiling. If you write a diary, note down only all your positive memories. If you feel like venting about something you are unhappy about, write down your thoughts by all means, but then rip out that page and burn it, so it no longer stays with you and in your conscience. Let go of anything at all that is negative. By doing this, you make sure you never have to relive any unhappy moments in your life.
16. Make a conscious decision to have faith in yourself
If you live your life with faith in yourself, soon it becomes as solid as a rock, unshakeable and unbreakable. Faith comes with practice. When you believe in something whole-heartedly, that belief rules your conscious and unconscious moods like nothing else can. So make sure that the faith you develop is in yourself, and that the motivation behind your faith is in making your life both honourable and meaningful.
17. Allow your imagination to soar
Open your mind to fresh ideas. Think of Einstein resting on a summer's day, his eyes half closed, looking at the sun's rays through a blade of grass and allowing his mind to travel with the ray of light. Let your imagination take you to places you have never been. You never know what you might discover this way!
18. Liberate yourself mentally
Many people live their lives as if they were confined to a gilded cage, afraid to fly. These kinds of people stick to the known and the familiar, and in the process, miss out on the more spectacular adventures that life has to offer. If you feel this may be you, mentally picture yourself as a bird in a cage, then visualize the cage door opening and yourself flying up to the wondrous skies above. Free your mind and there is nothing you cannot achieve!
19. Turn on all the lights in the house
If you turn on all the lights in the house, you will feel your spirits rise, especially if you have dark corners and there are insufficient windows in your house to bring in the natural light from the outside.
The mere act of lighting up your surroundings never fails to lift the lightness of chi that surrounds you. And when the energy that surrounds you is light, so will your frame of mind be light. Try this the next time you feel the air is heavy with depressing energy.
20. Spring clean your mind!
If any cobwebs still remain inside your head that obscure your vision of your true nature, you must sweep them away! Your mind is like a mirror. When it is clear, images reflected are sharp and lucid.
When the mind has delusions, inhibitions and complexes that have been accumulated over a lifetime, what gets reflected is blurred, unfocused and misleading. So try to undertake mental spring-cleaning regularly. Sweep away the dirt that clouds your visions!

Dragon's Prophet screens show off the floating continent of Laedis
Screenshots of upcoming fantasy MMORPG Dragon's Prophet have been released, showing off the Laedis continent of floating islands. According to lore, before the invention of airships, the place was so isolated that only the Osira inhabitants dwelled there, as the Eternal Dragon placed the inhabitants there during the First Dragon War. During the Second Dragon War, the continents "were continuously fractured and Laedis was flung high into the sky." Thus, it remains there. It all looks rather lovely, and I was able to play some of the MMO during GDC last week. My full report will be posted sometime next week. Dragon's Prophet will be published by SOE in North America, and Deep Silver and Infernum Productions per regional agreements in other regions.

Zynga's 'abnormal' valuation caused unrealistic F2P expectations, says Infernum founder

The reality is far from that image, Infernum founder Andreas Weidenhaupt has argued in a new interview. Weidenhaupt has cautioned that such lofty expectations place immeasurable pressure on F2P developers, and has subsequently called for a reality check.

The Bottom Ten
In an effort to help those poor ignored stragglers out, and in advance of our end of the year top ten list, I've decided to do a quick post highlighting our ten least viewed movie reviews. It's probably not entirely accurate, but we have to help the ones we can. So here they are: the ten least popular reviews on Teleport City.

Celtics pregame: Sullinger gets his shot at Bobcats, Jefferson By: Steve Bulpett CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Jared Sullinger is in the lineup and ready to go tonight, which should be a help for the Celtics against the Bobcats, who beat them when Sullinger was out with a right knee bone bruise 12 days ago. The Sullinger-Al Jefferson matchup should be interesting.
Celts pregame notes: Olynyk out a "couple of weeks" By: Steve Bulpett ATLANTA -- Brad Stevens is expecting to be without Kelly Olynyk a while after the rookie rolled his right ankle in the first half of last night's loss to the Pacers. "The last I heard was it'll be whatever a typical sprained ankle recovery is, a couple of weeks," said Stevens. The coach is hoping the break will help Olynyk.
Celts drop sixth straight as Pacers run away in second half By: Steve Bulpett The Celtics had a 50-42 lead at the half. The rest of the night something they'd rather forget. The Pacers, owners of the best record in the NBA, blitzed them in the second half for an easy 97-82 win tonight. Indiana led by as many as 20. It was the Celts' sixth straight loss, leaving them with 4-10 record.
Celtics pregame: Stevens facing friend and former favorite team By: Steve Bulpett There was a lot of talk before the game about the Frank Vogel-Brad Stevens relationship, as you might expect. The Pacer coach and Butler mentor became friends working in the same city, and the had another long conversation when Stevens took the job with the Celtics -- a team Vogel had worked for as a video coordinator and assistant coach.
Popovich offers Celtic guarantee By: Steve Bulpett SAN ANTONIO -- Gregg Popovich guaranteed the Brad Stevens and the Celtics will get better if they stay the course. The Spurs' coach praised Stevens heavily before tonight's game and was asked what advice he would give the NBA neophyte.
Celts' Gerald Wallace fined, Jared Sullinger warned By: Steve Bulpett Celts' Gerald Wallace fined, Jared Sullinger warned SAN ANTONIO — The hits have started coming for the Celtics today and they haven't even gotten to the arena yet to see what the Spurs have in store for them.First, the NBA announced that it has fined Gerald Wallace $10,000 for "using profane language" during an interview with media following last night's 109-85 loss in Houston.
Celtics pregame: McHale on changes, Stevens on Rockets By: Steve Bulpett HOUSTON -- Rocket coach Kevin McHale knows the Celtics he'll see tonight aren't the same as those he's watched the past six years.
Stevens responds to Celtic trade rumors By: Steve Bulpett HOUSTON -- Brad Stevens threw more cold water on alleged discussions of trade scenarios involving the Celtics. He said after today's practice that he's not really involved in that side of the operation, but added that he'd hear if something was, in fact, going on -- and he hasn't, so...
Nothing to Rondo rumors By: Steve Bulpett Nothing to Rondo rumors HOUSTON -- The recent spate of rumors regarding the possible trade of Rajon Rondo are not based in any Celtic reality. "I haven't talked to any teams about Rajon Rondo," Celts' president of basketball operation Danny Ainge told the Herald this morning.
Pregame notes: Faverani to start for Olynyk; Lee, Bogans out By: Steve Bulpett MINNEAPOLIS -- Vitor Faverani is back in the Celtics' starting lineup, taking the place of Kelly Olynyk at center against the Timberwolves. "That has more to do with the size they bring up front," said coach Brad Stevens. Minnesota starts 6-11, 285-pound Nikola Pekovic in the middle.

BACKGROUND: When two people cut a cake, they usually employ a variation of the "I cut, you choose" strategy for dividing the slices. One person cuts and the other person chooses a piece, but the "cutter" holds all the power in this situation. Mathematicians have come up with a new method for cake cutting that puts the cutter and chooser on equal footing -- mathematically speaking -- and happy with their piece of cake. Called the surplus procedure, it is a new, more scientific approach to dispute resolution, and also shows how mathematics can contribute to making dispute resolution more rigorous and precise.
CUT AND CHOOSE. With the "cut and choose" method, the cutter should have great incentive to cut the cake as evenly as possible, knowing that the chooser will most likely choose the biggest piece. The primary advantage to the cut-and-choose approach is that it is "envy free": neither person envies the other's slice because they each know they have received at least half of the cake. But this assumes both parties have identical values -- that is, they are both angling for the largest slice of cake they can get in the negotiation. But values are highly subjective, so equitability is not so easily defined.
ABOUT SP: Using the surplus procedure, the cutter can cut the cake in such a way that the value he places on his piece is approximately the same as the value the chooser places on his piece -- possibly with the result that both might feel they are making out like a bandit and getting 65 percent of their heart's desire. It all comes down to perceived value. It gets more complicated if the cake must be divided between three people. For that problem, Brams devised an extension of the method, called the equitability procedure, which ensures that everyone gets, say, 40 percent of what they want, based on their respective values. Beyond three people, though, the likelihood of achieving both equitability and envy-freeness becomes much less likely.
HOW CAN WE USE IT? There are a broad range of contexts in which fair-division algorithms can be applied, such as the Camp David peace accords and the divorce of Donald and Ivana Trump, as well as the fair division of land. If one person values waterfront property and another values land at the edge of a forest, the surplus procedure will yield a solution that lets them divide the land in such a way that both will ultimately place the same value on their respective parcels of land.
The American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

Washington, DC Thursday, July 12, 2012
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held a confirmation hearing on the nomination of Stephen Crawford to the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors.
Crawford was part of President Obama's 2008 transition team for the U.S. Postal Service where he made recommendations on policy. Among them he suggested that the Post Office offer free PO boxes to citizens as a substitute for delivery to their homes and reduce frequency of mail delivery to 3 to 5 times a week.
The Board of Governors directs and controls postal service expenditures, reviews its practices and sets policy on all postal matters. It consists of 9 governors, appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
Crawford is currently a research professor at the George Washington Institute of Public Policy at George Washington University.
Previously, he served as Vice President for Policy and Research at the Corporation for Enterprise Development from 2009 to 2011, and Deputy Director of the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution from 2008 to 2009.
Prior to that, Crawford was the Director of Social, Economic and Workforce Programs at the National Governors Association from 2002 to 2007 and Vice President, Treasurer, and Board Secretary of the National Policy Association from 2000 to 2002.

Good on you!
And let´s not forget Gabby Giffords comments following the vandalism at one of her campaign offices.She bragged that she was quite good with her Glock.The msm would also have us forget that it was President Clinton who began the cops in schools program following Columbine.The hypocrisy is disgusting.
Good news, and maybe their cops will be distracted from ticket blitz.
whats more important a cop in the school or a cop on his speed trap
See, it´s not that hard.
Disagree. It´s a stupid waste of money based on wishful thinking, and gives the left yet another well-meaning idea to deride.Schools should allow - and announce - concealed carry instead.Reason: In an otherwise gin-free zone protected by an armed cop, the madman knows he can surprise and outgun that cop in seconds. This leaves the unarmed teachers and children sitting ducks for at least 5 uninterrupted minutes of his murder and mayhem. The gun-free zone rigs a sick mental arcade game in the madman´s favor, and he knows he can earn a high score and resulting fame.With concealed carry, the madman is aware an adversary might emerge out of the blue within seconds. He can´t play a cowardly, rigged, high scoring game there. He´ll play someplace else.
I agree that concealed carry would be preferable, but this will work in Jersey because there will be so many schools who will not have armed guards. The nut job will choose one of those.
#7 understands old injun proverb: you don´t have to run faster than the bear, just faster than the guy beside you.
First sentence was missing. It is:Don't mess with Marlboro Township.Here´s a map: http://www.marlboro-nj.gov/maps.html
It scares the bejeebers out of me, but I´m all for it 100%.
Add bonus pay for voluntary staff with CCW and extra training. It´s not as high a budget item as hiring another person, and may be even more effective.
Our county has been doing this for at least a decade. And one more time - does #6 really think that Lanza would have even entered the parking lot at Sandy Hook if there had been a police car parked at the entrance to the school? As soon as he heard the sirens of approaching LEO´s, he shot himself.
First I heard of an "armed guard" AT Columbine HS.FTA: Despite an armed guard at Columbine HS, students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 15 and wounded 23 in their rampage in 1999. A sheriff's officer outside the school exchanged fire with Harris but missed him.Oh, Pardon me. He was a "sheriff´s officer outside" shooting in. So let´s get this straight. Does no good to have an "armed guard" in our schools..., er, "outside the school."How far outside?What rotten reporting!!!!!
It´s good that local areas make their own minds up about this.What´s surprising is the left being reluctant about hiring government workers when that´s all they think about usually.Just about all the schools where I live have an on duty cop during the school day.It´s not just in case some nut job goes off but to help with unruly bastids in the hallways.
#14: Also, the police in Columbine had a rule that they set up a perimeter and wait for SWAT before they engage. So kids were getting killed while the cops were basically doing busy work. Those rules, of course, have changed. Does anyone think the protocols for the armed guard stayed the same?It´s called living and learning. Adaptation. Democrats don´t do that so they can´t understand it.
I lived in Newtown several decades ago and as I recall the PD there had cops in the schools often. They were there to build community relations. The kids grew up interacting with the police. Good idea. They also had a uniformed patrol officer in the local shopping center just being there and being helpful. When the local JayCees did a bike rally the PD assigned us a liason and were extremely helpful. Everybody in town knew the officers. We had very little in the way of crime.
That is correct. The monster was willing to shoot children, but the monster was not willing to confront good men with guns who came to stop him.
As an Board of Education member in the next county over....we too will be adding a armed member in each of our schools. While one armed member may not end the crazy needless killings, it will gain vital minutes until back-up arrives. The false thinking that a ban on assault weapons will solve the issue of gun violence is of the same thinking that leaving your home unlock will add security to your family!
I´ve been a Resource Officer (armed cop)in our school district since 2005, and I was the third one since it´s inception.And I don´t run around in a uniform all the time. Sometimes I dress like the teachers and the only thing you see is the weapon and a badge on my belt...Gee, I´ve also been known to wear a hoodie to be able to ´blend in´ more when I´m walking the halls.Oh, and to those of you who think it doesn´t work...sour grapes....!
I´m with #12, multiple trained & certified volunteer staff who would have access to weapons would be a far more effective deterent than a single officer (target). We do not need extra police officers and the last thing we need is a Federal, TSA type program. Keep it local, post the fact prominently, any nutcase would not know know who, or how many he would face.The main problem with this approach is that it makes good sense, so unlikely to be used.
I agree with those who say trained and armed staff are the answer. My wife is a teacher, a licensed concealed carrier and a darned good shot. Plus she has damned good common sense. I would trust her in any situation.
Marlboro is demonstrating a very good start.
"apparently the first district nationwide bent on packing heat"That´s not exactly truthful. Many schools in this state have community service police officers in them and have since drugs in schools became popular.

Detroit art museum to display van Gogh painting
DETROIT (AP) - The Detroit Institute of Arts will display a famous Vincent van Gogh work later this month.
"Bedroom in Arles" is on loan from the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. It'll be on view at the DIA from Feb. 19 to May 28.
The painting will be installed along with three other van Gogh paintings owned by the Detroit museum.
Van Gogh produced three almost identical paintings on the theme of his bedroom. The first, in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, was created in 1888 but damaged in a flood while the artist was in a hospital in Arles, France.
Nearly a year later, van Gogh made two copies of the work: one, the same size, is at the Art Institute of Chicago; the other, at the Musée d'Orsay, is smaller.

The results show opened with an exciting intro; "Sometimes it's good to go home. [Insert clips of hometown visits and journey on the show]. The two going to the finale are..." OMG, I cannot wait one hour! Ryan Seacrest came out on stage with a huge grin. Does he know something? Apparently he's just happy to have a job...and another one, and another one.
The Top 12 Idol finalists were in the audience behind the judges. Over 47 million votes came in the previous night. I think that's a record this season. On top of it all, it was Simon Cowell's last night at the Idol set. Ryan walked the Top 3 over to the bleachers for a chat. They look so nervous, and I can only imagine how nervous they are since I'm nervous and the results don't change my life forever!
The chat was actually a nice little piece of tonight's show. We got to learn a little more about what goes on in the finalists' heads. Casey never expected to get past the initial stadium auditions, and now here he is in the final three. Crystal said that people at home don't have any idea how much work goes into their Idol days. Lee said the show made him a better person because he learned a lot about himself. The teacher, I mean host, picked on Randy to give his thoughts on the final 3.
After this week's Ford music video, we saw the first of the three hometown visits. How many finalists would cry? Casey James was up first, and we got to see the "Cool" city he's from. Oh the puns that could be had...but I'll spare you. Seas of thousands of people showed up to support their hometown hero. As Casey got off the jet and stepped on Texas soil, he ended every sentence with either "baby" or "home." On the way to his first stop, he talked about how he can't imagine a whole bunch of people coming to see him. His mom was in disbelief when she saw the turn out. Casey went to the hospital where he was treated after his bad car accident. A choked up Casey wrote a message on a guitar and handed it to the doctor who read the emotional message out loud. We ended up seeing many sides of Casey we have never seen before of the normally calm and "Cool" [sorry, couldn't help myself] rocker.
Perez Hilton is in the audience to get the latest Idol gossip firsthand. Oh, actually he's here to promote his finding, pop star Travis Garland, who Perez discovered online and he said he's better than Justin Timberlake. Travis took the stage and entertained with his dance moves as he sang "Believe," but I don't think he can rival J.T. Then again, in my head, no one can rival Timberlake!
Next, we experienced Crystal Bowersox's hometown visit. She was in great spirits and showed so much personality and a sense of humor - playing her harmonica necklace on the jet, popping up and down through the sunroof of the limo to tease the fans, getting stunned by one rabid fan who is tattooing her autograph on his chest, and taking pictures of the fans who were taking pictures of her. Every step of the way we saw her emotional dad by her side. She received the key to the city, witnessed the creation of Crystal Bowersox Day, and played at "Bowerstock." Her original song, "Holy Toledo," was used during her video package. She has been waiting to do original music on the show all season, so this was a great opportunity to introduce her work.
Footage of Lee DeWyze's trip to Chicago and Mount Prospect, Illinois came third. It seemed like a dream come true for the singer who threw out the first pitch at the Cubs game. When he went to his old elementary school, he was faced with hundreds of screaming children. Next, Lee went to his old paint store which was a really emotional experience for him. He can't beLEEve the support and how far he has come. He performed a concert in a packed stadium of BeLEEvers and sang "The Boxer." He became choked up and his parents started crying. Back in the studio, Lee was crying, or at least he had a "Lee DeWyze eye," and said he can't ask for anything more than his parents' support.
Teen sensation, Twitter hero, and BET Award nominee Justin Bieber took the stage and sang "U Smile" and "Baby." There were girls swaying in the audience, and I was glad to see that no one fainted. This kid makes Aaron Kelly look old! At the end of his set, he gave an impressive drum solo. I think his power comes from his hair helmet.
As the butterflies swirled around in my stomach, Kieran dimmed the lights and Ryan gave the big announcement. Competing in the finale is Lee DeWyze! Battling Lee is Crystal Bowersox! She was in disbelief and asked Ryan twice, "I'm safe?" She ran over to Lee and jumped up and wrapped her legs around him. That's something we haven't seen our Top 2 finalists do before! They dueted just last week and now they're going head-to-head.
Casey James took the news like a man and sang "Daughters" and performed without a musical instrument for only the second time on the Idol stage. He showed a lot of charisma as he walked around the audience and shook hands and posed with girls with "I <3 Casey James" posters. I was hoping he'd perform for Kara as he walked past the judges table, but he did give her and Randy a handshake. Then he picked up one young girl, who I assume is his niece, and sang the rest of the song while holding her. Aww. A good singer, a tremendous guitar player, a sensitive guy, and a family man. Oh and good hair. Casey, I don't think you'll be single for long!
So after a few months, it has all come down to this. WHO...will be your next American Idol?!

He spends every day of his life gathering ways to help everyone else keep as much money that is there's, to themselves.This book really will be £3.49 money well spent and will probably have some left in shock by how much they pay for services and items that really are not required.Everyone knows someone who always manages to get the best deals and great savings, well they probably found them out via Martin's enthusiasm and vibe he gives to the many of worshippers that surround him online.

It has sound ideas and advice, and is easy to read and absorb. Call me old-fashioned, but I like having these all in one place and easy to reach for when I want/need to, rather than having to find them on a website.
