Overview (Masterplots II: Christian Literature)
In Doctor Faustus, Christopher Marlowe supplies a nearly diagrammatic study of damnation—of the decline and fall of a human soul—growing out of excessive pride and overreaching ambition. The well-schooled Faustus, with his unbridled curiosity, skepticism, and knowledge, stands as the epitome of the Renaissance "new man." On his graduation from the German university at Wittenberg, Faustus casts about for a suitable profession. He rejects, in turn, philosophy, medicine, law, and theology, finding that all these fields fall short of what amounts to his supra-human desires. For example, medicine ("physic") promises the possibility of temporary healing but not of bestowing everlasting life or of raising the dead. Accordingly, Faustus at last lights upon necromancy—magic and the black arts—as providing the sole means whereby he can achieve "omnipotence" and become a "mighty god."
In the company of his like-minded friends Valdes and Cornelius, Faustus summons up the demon Mephistophilis and informs him that, in exchange for twenty-four years of earthly pleasure, wealth, and honor, he is ready to abandon his soul to Lucifer, the evil one himself. Immediately, Good Angel and Bad Angel appear to Faustus, the former urgently pleading for the scholar's repentance, and the latter airily dismissing the efficacy of prayer. Willfully determined, Faustus stabs his arm and writes out his agreement with the devil in his own resisting...

Summary (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus is generally considered his greatest. The play shares certain elements with its ancestor, the medieval morality play: the opposing admonishments of good and bad angels; the characters of Lucifer and Mephostophilis; and the appearance of the Seven Deadly Sins. Yet it breaks with tradition in two important respects: in the sympathy evoked for the straying hero, and in the questions raised against the cosmic order of conventional Christian doctrine.
Faustus pursues his grand aspirations in what Marlowe portrays as a repressive climate of Christian orthodoxy, which, in designating certain knowledge as forbidden, blocks fulfillment of his desires and effectively becomes his antagonist. The play opens with Faustus in his study. He has plumbed the depths of all disciplines and found them unfulfilling. He will settle for no less than a dominion that "Stretcheth as far as doth the mind of man"—a world of physical beauty, sensual delight, and power over life and objects. He decides his best hope is necromancy, an art forbidden by Christian doctrine.
Thus, the scene is set for Faustus's tragic decline. Planted in the text, even from the beginning, are warnings of the terrible fate awaiting Faustus. A master of dramatic irony, Marlowe has these warnings go unheeded by his hero while they build an uneasy tension in the audience's awareness. An example is Faustus's remark on his own great powers in...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Faustus is born to a common family in Rhodes, Germany. In his maturity, while living with relatives in Wittenberg, he studies theology and becomes a doctor as well. However, Faustus is so swollen with conceit that, like Daedalus, the ancient Greek inventor, he strives too far, becoming glutted with learning. He conspires with the Devil and falls, accursed to Hell.
At the outset of his downward path, Doctor Faustus finds himself complete master of three fields of knowledge—medicine, law, and theology. As a medical doctor, he achieves huge success and great renown. After obtaining good health for his patients, he faces no challenge except achieving immortality for them. He concludes that law is nothing but an elaborate moneymaking scheme. He thinks that only theology remains, but that it leads to a blind alley. He knows that the reward of sin is death and that no one can say that he or she is without sin; all people, guilty of sin, consequently die.
Necromancy, or black magic, greatly attracts Faustus. Universal power would be within his reach, the whole world would be at his command, and emperors would lie at his feet, if he could become a magician. Summoning his servant, Wagner, Faustus orders him to contact Valdes and Cornelius, believing they could teach him their black arts.
The Good Angel and the Evil Angel each try to persuade Faustus. Faustus is in no mood to listen to the Good Angel. He exults over the prospects of his...

Act 1 Summary
The chorus enters, explaining that the play tells the story of a scholar named Faustus, who, like Icarus, "his waxen wings did mount above his reach."
Act I, Scene i
Faustus contemplates his accomplishments and plans his future endeavors. He considers, then rejects, philosophy, medicine, law, and theology before deciding to study magic. Significantly, Faustus rejects theology because of a misunderstanding of the relationship between divine justice and Christian mercy.
A good and bad angel appear, urging Faustus to resist and indulge in temptation, respectively. Two magicians, Valdes and Cornelius, enter, offering Faustus books of spells and agreeing to instruct him in the black arts.
Act I, Scene ii
Two scholars, who wonder what has become of Faustus, ask his assistant, Wagner. He chides the scholars about the logic of their conversation, then informs them that Faustus dines with Valdes and Cornelius. The scholars suspect that Faustus has "fall'n into that damned art."
Act I, Scene iii
Lucifer and four devils appear as Faustus chants his spells. When he asks them if his chants commanded them to appear, they reply that was merely accidental, that they appear whenever anyone "abjures the scriptures and his savior Christ." Faustus asks about the nature of hell but ignores the devil Mephistopheles's reply and agrees to exchange his soul for twenty-four years of...
(The entire section is 241 words.)
Act 2 Summary
Act II, Scene i
As Faustus prepares to sign in blood a contract giving Lucifer his soul, the Good and Bad Angels appear, offering advice. After Faustus signs, devils dress him in rich robes and dance around. Again, Faustus asks Mephistopheles about hell, then refuses to believe the devil's honest reply, insisting that "hell's a fable."
Faustus asks and receives from Mephistopheles several books of spells to bring riches, control the elements, and provide knowledge of nature.
Act II, Scene ii
Faustus tells Mephistopheles that when he sees the heavens, he considers repenting. The Good Angel appears, urging Faustus to repent and take advantage of God's mercy, while the Bad Angel tells him he will never repent. Faustus agrees that he cannot ask for forgiveness.
Faustus asks Mephistopheles who made the world, but rather than answer and introduce the subject of God, the devil offers a morality play showing the seven deadly sins: Pride, Covetousness, Envy, Wrath, Gluttony, Sloth, and Lechery.
Act II, Scene iii
Robin and Dick joke about the power of magic.
The Chorus tells us of Faustus learning the secrets of nature and travelling to Rome.
(The entire section is 190 words.)
Act 3 Summary
Act III, Scene i
Bruno, supported as Pope by German Emperor Charles V, is brought before Roman Pope Adrian, to be condemned for heresy. As a joke, Faustus and Mephistopheles put the cardinals to sleep, then impersonate them, telling Pope Adrian they have decided to punish Bruno severely. Delighted, Pope Adrian orders a banquet to be prepared.
Act III, Scene ii
Faustus and Mephistopheles free Bruno, who returns to Germany. When the real cardinals awake, they tell Pope Adrian they had not yet delivered their verdict, and when Pope Adrian learns that Bruno has escaped, he imprisons the cardinals.
Faustus, now invisible, accompanies the Pope, archbishop, and friars to the banquet, stealing food and drink from the Pope's hand. The clergy damn the soul responsible for this mystical behavior.
Act III, Scene iii
Robin and Dick have stolen a cup from the Vintner; when he comes to reclaim it, they conjure up Mephistopheles. Angry at being disturbed, the devil transforms Dick into an ape and Robin into a dog.
The Chorus explains that Faustus has arrived at the court of the Emperor.
(The entire section is 183 words.)
Act 4 Summary
Act IV, Scene i
The Emperor requests that Faustus conjure up Alexander the Great and his paramour. Skeptical of Faustus's power, Benvolio, a knight with a hangover, insists that if Faustus can bring back Alexander, he will become Actaeon and turn himself into a stag. After Alexander appears, Faustus grows horns on Benvolio's head, which the Emperor, pleading leniency, asks Faustus to remove.
Act IV, Scene ii
Two knights, Martino and Frederick, help Benvolio in a vengeful attack on Faustus. When the magician appears, they cut off his head, but he rises again, telling them he cannot die before his contract expires in twenty-four years. They plead for mercy but various devils punish them and their soldiers.
Act IV, Scene iii
Benvolio, Frederick, and Martino enter, bloody, with horns on their heads. Embarrassed, they decide to hide in Benvolio's castle.
Act IV, Scene iv
Faustus sells his incredible horse to the Horse-courser (dealer) for 40 dollars, but warns the dealer not to ride it through water.
Alone, Faustus, "a man condemn'd to die," remembers that divine mercy led Christ to forgive one of the thieves with whom he was crucified. Still, the thief had repented, and Faustus does not. Instead, he falls asleep.
The Horse dealer returns, wet. His curiosity led him to ride the horse through water, and the animal has turned into a little wet straw. He comes upon...

Act 5 Summary
Act V, Scene i
Faustus raises the spirit of Helen of Troy for a group of scholars. When the scholars leave, an Old Man appears, urging Faustus to repent. Faustus, believing himself damned, contemplates suicide, and Mephistopheles hands him a dagger. The Old Man advises repentance, but Faustus asks the demon for Helen. Faustus then makes redemption impossible by kissing her spirit, asking as he does, for Helen, not God, to make him immortal.
Act V, Scene ii
Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Mephistopheles come to claim Faustus, whose time has run out. Various scholars, seeing Faustus's sad demeanor, wonder if physicians might cure his ill, but he informs them that his powers came, not from himself, but because he sold his soul to the devil. The scholars advise him to repent, but Faustus says if he thinks of God, the devil will tear his body to pieces. The Good Angel appears, telling Faustus that the time for repentance is past, while the Bad Angel gloats over the damnation of the magician's soul. The Bad Angel tells Faustus, who refused to repent because his fear of physical pains exceeded his fear of spiritual pain, about the exquisite torments that await him in hell.
As the clock strikes eleven, Faustus wishes he could stop time, then wishes he were not immortal and doomed to suffer for eternity, but still he fails to repent. Finally, as the clock strikes twelve, he wishes his soul could be turned into drops of water which...

There's no argument about it. McKendree University's debate team has made the leap from a small club to a powerhouse in the world of college debate.
"When I was on the team in 2005 there was a total of about 10 people," said Jeff Jones, a former McKendree student who is now the debate program's assistant coach. "We'd go to tournaments and it was less about trying to win than it was about fitting in and proving that we belonged."
In 2006, McKendree debaters were invited to participate in a select national tournament.
"We chose not to go," Jones said. "We didn't feel like we could compete."
But today McKendree is taking on all comers. Head coach Joe Blasdel said for the first time the school has two teams of debaters placed in the top five nationally ranked pairs.
Juniors Mat Myles and Brad Thomas are third in the country while seniors Ian Reynolds and Ben Reid are fifth. Instead of passing on national tournaments, the school this year has qualified four teams for the National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence championships to be held starting March 17 at the University of Nevada Reno. Two teams of juniors, Lucas Barker and Sarah DeBruyckere and Alex Cunningham and Brent Nicholson will join the two top five pairings in the championships.
"Things have really come together for us quickly," Blasdel said. "Prior to the 2010-11 season, the highest-ranked team we had was 12th. Last year Reid and Nicholson topped that by making it to sixth. And now we have two top five teams. I couldn't be more proud of our people."
The program has been built with a unique mix of local and national talent. The metro-east has long been a hot bed of high school debate and several team members are from two of its top programs, Belleville East and Belleville West. Eight of the debate program's 25 members are graduates of the Belleville District 201 schools including Barker, DeBruyckere, Myles and Reynolds.
Reid and Thomas are from Kansas City, Mo., and they joined the team as a package deal. Now they hope to help recruit more young talent from the Kansas City area high school debate ranks.
"It was completely by accident that I ended up here," Reid said. "I attended Truman State for one year and had to leave because of medical problems. I wasn't sure what I was going to do and planned to go to community college for a year. Then I got a message from Joe that he'd like me to come to McKendree and I said, 'Why not?'"
Thomas said the pair appreciates the support McKendree debaters got from school leaders and the knowledge teammates and coaches share to sharpen each others' skills.
According to Reynolds, the key to the success of a program is putting multiple talented teams together to create a culture of winning and allow the teams push each other to keep getting better.
"I've learned more in debate than I could from any instructor," Reynolds said. "It has increased my breadth and depth of knowledge and it has taught me how to think critically."
Reid agreed.
"Debate has pushed me to have a drive to learn more about everything from science to math to philosophy," Reid said. "You're forced to learn or lose. And I don't like to lose."
In high school and college policy debate teams of two people argue the pros and cons of specific political topics. They know the general subject area. But they don't find out until just before a round starts what the specific resolution they will discuss will be. To be prepared they spend countless hours searching for evidence from experts that can be applied to any possible scenario which could arise.
Throughout the year, college debaters spend the bulk of their weekends traveling across the country to tournaments where they compete against schools large and small. Unlike in athletics, programs aren't divided by school size.
As exciting as it is that McKendree's debate team has grown in its 18-year history to be competitive with some of the largest and best known schools in the country, Blasdel said he is even more excited about the future.
"Definitely for the next couple of years we should be very good," Blasdel said. "We have a very big junior class right now. Six of our eight going to nationals are juniors. I would expect us to compete for a national championship next year. And we have a group of sophomores and freshman who haven't really had the opportunity to show what they can do yet. I can't wait to see."

Ananda, Buddha's very intimate disciple, was almost forty-two years continuously serving Buddha, day and night, summer and winter. One night when Buddha was going to lie down, Ananda said, "I don't generally ask any questions, because every question that I could ask, others ask. And I am always here, so I listen to the answer. I know that any question I have is going to be asked by somebody or other; in these years this has become my experience. But there is one question I don't think anybody is going to ask. It is very situational."
Buddha said, "You can ask."
"The question," he said, "is not very great. But it has been troubling me for years."
Buddha said, "You could have asked at any time."
Ananda said, "I never wanted to trouble you. The whole day you are working on people, and in the night you are alone with me. The question is that I have been watching you for twenty years continuously…even in the night I get up once or twice to have a look at you to see whether you are all right. What has been puzzling me is that you keep the same posture the whole night. You don't change sides, you don't even move your leg. Do you sleep or do you remain awake?"
Buddha said, "My body sleeps; it sleeps very profoundly. But as far as I am concerned, I am just a pure awareness. So having found the right position, the one which is the most comfortable, I have not changed it for twenty years. And I am not going to change it till my last breath."
He died in the same posture. Because of Buddha, the posture has become known as the Lion's Posture. For forty-two years after his enlightenment, his day and night was a continuity of awareness.
That's what Daikaku is saying:
To turn within means all the twenty-four hours…
Go on turning in. Whenever you find a moment to turn, turn. And it is such a simple act to turn within – nobody's help is needed. No ladder is needed, no door has to be opened. Just close your eyes and look in. Sitting in a bus, traveling in a train…you can do it any time, and slowly, slowly you don't even need to close your eyes. The remembrance simply remains, of its own accord.
It is most beautiful when, without being sought, the true action and true impulse appear of themselves. It is when one can know what is the truth of the heart.
What is the truth of the heart? The ordinary commonsense view of the heart is that it is the source of emotions like love or hate or anger. Just as the mind is the source of conceptual thoughts, the heart is the source of all that is emotional and sentimental. That is the commonsense view.
But when Buddha says "the heart" he means the very center of your being. It is his understanding that your love, your hate, everything, arises out of your mind. And I think he is being absolutely scientific; all psychologists will agree with him.

Man drowns in Ore. river trying to save child, 5-year-old still missing
GATES, Ore. – A young man lost his life on Friday after jumping into the cold water of the North Santiam River to try to save a 5-year-old boy who had fallen in.
The incident happened around 3:30 p.m. just down river from Niagara County Park.
Two men - 22-year-old Eric Eugene Johnson and 23-year-old Jacob Jay Allen - had headed there to go fishing with the young boy, 5-year-old Anthony Barkley Berlin (Allen's son).
When Berlin fell into the river, Johnson jumped in to try to save his friend's boy. Johnson did not make it out alive and his body was later recovered.
Johnson drowned in an area of the North Santiam River that has a strong current and is treacherous. There are large rocks and sometimes 40-foot deep pools of turbulent water where someone could easily get trapped.
The little boy has not yet been found. He is believed to have drowned. On Saturday, the Corps of Engineers tried to help divers by slowing the water flow from upstream dams.
The boy's father and family were at a local fire station on Saturday waiting for word. They asked the media to respect their privacy and did not want to comment on the search at this time.
Johnson's family is heartbroken but at the same time they feel some sense of peace about what happened. "We know that he lost his life trying to help somebody so that's like a comfort to us," his grandmother, Lois Johnson, said.

Homeland Security:
The Federal Protective Service Faces Several Challenges That Raise Concerns About Protection of Federal Facilities
GAO-08-914T, Jun 18, 2008
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Federal Protective Service (FPS) is responsible for providing physical security and law enforcement services to about 9,000 General Services Administration (GSA) facilities. To accomplish its mission of protecting GSA facilities, FPS currently has an annual budget of about $1 billion, about 1,100 employees, and 15,000 contract guards located throughout the country. GAO was asked to provide information and analysis on challenges FPS faces including ensuring that it has sufficient staffing and funding resources to protect GSA facilities and the over one million federal employees as well as members of the public that work in and visit them each year. GAO discusses (1) FPS's operational challenges and actions it has taken to address them, (2) funding challenges, and (3) how FPS measures the effectiveness of its efforts to protect GSA facilities. This testimony is based on our recently issued report (GAO-08-683) to this Subcommittee.
FPS faces several operational challenges that hamper its ability to accomplish its mission and the actions it has taken may not fully resolve these challenges. FPS's staff has decreased by about 20 percent from fiscal years 2004 through 2007. FPS has also decreased or eliminated law enforcement services such as proactive patrol in many FPS locations. Moreover, FPS has not resolved longstanding challenges, such as improving the oversight of its contract guard program, maintaining security countermeasures, and ensuring the quality and timeliness of building security assessments (BSA). For example, one regional supervisor stated that while reviewing a BSA for an address he personally visited he realized that the inspector completing the BSA had falsified the information because the inspector referred to a large building when the actual site was a vacant plot of land owned by GSA. To address some of these operational challenges, FPS is currently changing to an inspector based workforce, which seeks to eliminate the police officer position and rely primarily on FPS inspectors for both law enforcement and physical security activities. FPS is also hiring an additional 150 inspectors. However, these actions may not fully resolve the challenges FPS faces, in part because the approach does not emphasize law enforcement responsibilities. Until recently, the security fees FPS charged to agencies have not been sufficient to cover its costs and the actions it has taken to address the shortfalls have had adverse implications. For example, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) transferred emergency supplemental funding to FPS. FPS restricted hiring and limited training and overtime. According to FPS officials, these measures have had a negative effect on staff morale and are partially responsible for FPS's high attrition rates. FPS was authorized to increase the basic security fee four times since it transferred to DHS in 2003, currently charging tenant agencies 62 cents per square foot for basic security services. Because of these actions, FPS's collections in fiscal year 2007 were sufficient to cover costs, and FPS projects that collections will also cover costs in fiscal year 2008. However, FPS's primary means of funding its operations--the basic security fee--does not account for the risk faced by buildings, the level of service provided, or the cost of providing services, raising questions about equity. Stakeholders also expressed concern about whether FPS has an accurate understanding of its security costs. FPS has developed output measures, but lacks outcome measures to assess the effectiveness of its efforts to protect federal facilities. Its output measures include determining whether security countermeasures have been deployed and are fully operational. However, FPS does not have measures to evaluate its efforts to protect federal facilities that could provide FPS with broader information on program outcomes and results. FPS also lacks a reliable data management system for accurately tracking performance measures. Without such a system, it is difficult for FPS to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of its efforts, allocate its limited resources, or make informed risk management decisions.

COVENTRYŌĆöA two-alarm fire in Coventry displaced a family of six after flames broke out in their downstairs kitchen Monday night.
Central Coventry Fire Chief Andrew Baynes explained that the male homeowner called 911 at 8:06 p.m. after he returned to his home at 9 Grant Drive and noticed a fire in the basement of the raised ranch.
He said firefighters from Central Coventry arrived shortly after and quickly surveyed the area to ensure nobody was still inside.
WEST WARWICKŌĆö Main Street in West Warwick will yet again be transformed into a winter wonderland as the Arctic Village Association (AVA) kicks off their tree lighting ceremony tonight.
Barbara Tabak of the AVA explained that the tree lighting event will began at 5 p.m. as students of the Judi T. Dance Studio perform on the Gazebo stage for all to enjoy.
Last year, members of the Pawtuxet Valley Community Chorus sang Christmas carols for attendees, but unfortunately this year, members will not be joining in on the festivities.
WEST WARWICKŌĆö Numerous organizations are joining together to host a dinner for those local residents who cannot afford to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner Thursday night.
Andy Beaulieu, Organizer of Helping Hands, explained that four years ago his organization teamed up with St. Vincent de Paul Society and the West Warwick Senior Center to feed those in need on Thanksgiving.
Every Tuesday, he said, Helping Hands hosts a soup kitchen at St. John the Baptist Church rectory on Washington Street; he thought itŌĆÖd be a good idea to extend that help to others during the holiday season.
WEST WARWICKŌĆö In light of the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a West Warwick native remembers back to her encounter with the beloved president two months before he was killed.
Debra Mancini, formerly Debra de Tonnancour, was just 10 years old the day she shook hands with the president on Sept. 12, 1963 at the Quonset Point Naval Air Station.
ŌĆ£My grandparents both worked at Quonset Point,ŌĆØ she remembered. ŌĆ£Everybody was excited to go. They had passes and badges to get on the base. ThatŌĆÖs why we went that day.ŌĆØ
COVENTRYŌĆö The Matarese family of Coventry has begun to work hard to raise money to help their son, Jacob, after heŌĆÖs made it his priority since he was young to help other people.
Jacob, 11, is described by his mother Tara as a ŌĆ£caring, sensitive and funnyŌĆØ boy who loves music, legos, movies and video games.
ŌĆ£He unassumingly commands a presence from people that almost always causes them to instantly fall in love with him,ŌĆØ he said.
Jacob, who started fundraising at an early age, has raised money for the Special Olympics, The American Heart Association and the local animal shelter.

One of the three names was an Iron Born: Lord Greyjoy.
Ken: Yeah, I'm fairly certain the other wedding will be Season 4. They're splitting Book 3 over two seasons -- that has always been the plan. I cannot imagine the show getting to those plot points any earlier than the second half of S4, probably around the same point they did the Red Wedding this time. My current guess on cliffhanger for the finale involves a big advancement in the Bran plot, and the Red Priestess getting tipped off to goings-on somewhere very different.
Regarding the Iron Islands, I expect that stuff to get lumped into Season 4. We saw Yara/Asha in the preview for next episode. I know that people are cool toward the Ironborn stuff now, but her POV chapters in the books and the fascinating politics involving her uncles made me much more interested in that area of Westeros. So I expect that to be a focus of the next season. My question is, will the show even bother getting into Dorne at this point? Or are they just going to let that stay off to the side until those subplots become more relevant to the main story arcs? (Book readers are still waiting for that, with the exception of the Myrcella and Oberyn stuff.)
The author used the word "Spoilers" in the 3rd paragraph before he got into the recap. I think people were sufficiently warned.
Next time say that you're WRITING SPOILERS. The way you wrote that you're going to say what was in the books that wasn't in this episode seemed like you were saying things that could not possibly be mentioned in the next episode. Such as scenes. But you completely went out and spoke about what will happen in the next episode!! THANK YOU.
There is one more death as portended by the Red Witch in the previous episode (Well, two really, but the Iron born are irrelevant to the TV show apparently). I had assumed that the Red Wedding would be the cliff hanger for this season but I guess they are going with the other wedding instead. Do you really think they will push it until Season 4?
Fabulous review.. Spot on Sir/ess/, I have come to Game of Thrones in a very circuitess (?) way. Don't have Sky, wanted to watch it but couldn't. Picked up the book 2nd hand, enthralled/ Had deep conversation with someone who had watched the tv production, then found out about how to watch online. Can see inconsistencies even though I have not read the other books, dramatic license & all that.. But what a hoot! Tyrion seems to be the only american actor & he puts us all to shame.. I absolutely adore his portrayal. Yummy. Is this as big as I think it is in the States? So many fantastic (& shit) british actORS.. In fact, seems totally UK staffed.. It is a bit buttocky, in the same way the Tudors was, but commendable. Tasteful buttocks, greedy dragons. I like the fact that it can make me laugh even when I'm grimacing. So many programmes are entirely up their own backsides without even knowing it. This production is nigh on pornographic in its shameless self love. It's such a shame that the north/south divide has to be won. As if..
For an amusing Social media slant:
Some of those duets rocked. Seriously has an ousted performer ever been promoted so much?
I am totally Team Candice. I love Kree but felt her energy or interest had waned.
I expected Angie Miller and Candice Glover too, but I'm still glad that I had my three girls together and America at least got THAT right. They both recorded albums, so they will both be just fine. My whole family likes a lot of TV shows, so I'm grateful that when I can't watch Idol live because we're watching something else, my DISH Hopper records all of the primetime shows on FOX each evening. That way I can watch it in the morning before I go to my job at DISH and don't miss a thing when my coworkers talk about what happened.
I think you nailed it Eric. Candice was better last night. I didn't mind the judges at all this season. The shoes were way too high. The songs too lame. Frankly, i am thrilled the season is over. Exhausting!
They were extremely boring. Their stupid 5 inch heels crippled them and they could barely get down the stairs. They stood in one spot and moved their arms up and down. Crappy song choices, creepy arrangements and zero excitement. I couldn't even listen to the judges. Worst season ever. The singers on the Voice are a million times more interesting and the coaches are GREAT.
I loved them both, but Candice performance was better. I hope Candice wins. I voted 527 times.
I pick candice is the winner of American idol she is the best singer
Kree has been my choice since the performance of Stars, That day she touched so many hearts with her Pure heart felt performance, even then, Nikki said "That's the Voice" and Kree has been true during the whole competition..!! And yes I believe the producers Try to throw her under the bus..."Really?" America just showed you, you can't deny "Real Talent" ..Kree all the way... shame on the producers..!
I simply cannot believe what I am reading, except for the above comment (saying that she never liked Angie because she didn't seem genuine). In fact, even that is putting it kindly! I did like a few of her performances behind the piano, but I just . . . couldn't believe her. And it seemed to me that she spent more time playing the politics game than anything else. Oh -- and most important -- while her singing was not completely without merit, she didn't have the talent level of the other two.
So -- on to more positive things -- I, too, was stunned at the choice for the finale -- but only because I have been deeply dissappointed by voting in the past! For me, Kree is great, I've always loved her, but . . .
Candice Glover is a singer for the ages! Not original? Ridiculous! And who cares? Even on the worst song choices, she never let me down a single time. From nearly the very beginning, I thought that Candice's talent pretty much towered over the rest -- even some of the better female singers.
Though I still like Kree despite some shaky stuff over the last month, I feel like if Candice Glover isn't the "next American Idol", there's no justice in the world! I would have felt that way based on her performance of the Cure's "Lovesong" alone most likely, but she's just -- she just knocks it out of the park again and again!!!
Candice is the best vocalist by far; and afterall, this is a vocal competition! Candice you are so beautiful and such a powerful singer from your soul! I miss Amber too!
Kree Harrison doesn't need sympathy votes! Geez people, she is truly talented and like Angie, she writes her own songs as well. Also, you don't have to run around the stage and get dressed up to entertain when you have a great voice. George Strait has sold millions and he is a simple country guy in a pair of jeans, a shirt and a hat!
I like that the final two are Kree and Candice!!! I would like to see Kree win it, and I will be voting!!! but they are both very powerful singers!!! so who knows!!!!
Kree's homecoming video certainly helped her. So it's not level playing ground unfortunately. Angie is enormously talented. She should be in the final two.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the top 3. I loved Angie and Kree best only because I hear more originality in there voices, but Amber is Fabulous as well. I think any of the 3 would have been a disappointing loss, but Angie will most certainly be heard from again!!! Her goodbye song was NOT her original, it was a Colton Dixon song. However, the background song from her hometown visit was get original and I hope that we will hear that as her first released single VERY soon!
Judges.... Well BLAH! Talk about in genuine! I think Keith was the only one not playing an angle!

Arco Iris Boutique Homestay (www.arcoiris.in) in association with goabuddy.in brings to South Goa a unique art show titled, "The Eternal Spring" by Shan Re, a reputed artist from Bangalore. Part of the proceeds from the show will be in aid of Tara Trust (www.taraforchildren.com).
Shan Re is one of the most... versatile artists in India having explored a wide array of subjects and genres such as abstract expressionism, minimalism, figuration and geometric abstraction in several group and solo exhibitions in Bangalore, New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco since the year 2000.
Shan's strength lies in her ability to invoke human sentiment with minimal detailing, flowing colors and simple forms. Her abstract works are exuberant and compelling - the boldness and harmony of lines and colors imply a sense of joie de vivre, a celebration of life.
Speaking about The Eternal Spring Shan Re says, "This series has been inspired by nature and spirituality…the vibrant moods of nature are a reflection of the magical pictures that resonate in my mind. The abstract genre allows me to express myself freely as I work rapidly with a great deal of confidence without any conscious effort. The Eternal Spring is a metaphor for preservation of inner peace in a time of chaos and conflict and it has been my endeavor to portray a kind of beauty that is time…"
Shan Re's work is in important private and corporate collections in India, United States and Europe. She currently lives and works in Bangalore. She is always possessed by the idea of creativity and reinvents herself constantly.
About Arco Iris Boutique Homestay:
"Arco Iris", meaning "Rainbow" in Portuguese, is a 200 + year old, elegantly restored colonial house built on a sprawling 1.5 acre property. It overlooks a seasonal lake. The proximity to the lake and the abundant greenery, in and around the property, ensures a scenic ambience right through the year.
Arco Iris is located in Curtorim, a quiet village in South Goa, about 7kms from Margao. The village is dotted with seasonal lakes and paddy fields and is often referred to as the "Granary of Goa". Besides being popular with bird watchers as a destination and the attendant photo shoot opportunities that it affords, Curtorim and its adjoining villages house several places of historical interest.

At Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children, our staff provides age-appropriate care in the treatment of injuries and illnesses, because infants, children and teenagers are all unique. Our patients are cared for by experienced physicians and nurses trained and certified in pediatrics. Our Pediatric Emergency Room, located on the first floor of Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children, is the only child-focused facility between Birmingham and Nashville. From the pediatric sub-specialists and emergency medicine physicians to the friendly, colorful décor, everything we do is designed to calm our patients and comfort their anxious parents or caregivers. Our Pediatric Emergency Room is a 16-bed center for patients 21-years-old and younger. Because accidents or illnesses can happen at anytime, we are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
When a child arrives to the Pediatric ER, he or she is immediately greeted by a Registered Nurse. The nurse assesses the patients needs and can start treating the pain within minutes of arrival. Pain management methods include topical sprays, skin-numbing ointments and procedural sedation. To prevent unnecessary pain, the Pediatric ER invests in new technology like the Vein Viewer that prevents multiple sticks by highlighting tiny, hard-to-find veins.
From our child-sized wheelchairs to our colorful ceiling tiles, everything was selected with young people in mind. An activity area located near the Pediatric ER waiting room, complete with toys and video games, provides a fun distraction for patients and their siblings. All of our medical equipment is calibrated for children, and we use smaller needles, scopes and tubes. Our nurses even avoid stark-white uniforms in favor of friendly, colorful scrubs that put our patients at ease.
The Child Life Specialists help meet the emotional needs of children by using developmental play as a way for children to express fears or concerns. The specialists plan activities and entertainment to distract patients from hospital routines. They also help children understand procedures and equipment by demonstrating on dolls first. These gifted individuals have earned advanced degrees in child life or development and must pass a certification exam to earn the title of a Certified Child Life Specialist. They are available to assist children and families in pediatric units throughout the hospital.
Kids Care, the regions pediatric and neonatal critical care transport program, is available 24-7 from Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children. But Kids Care is more than the regions pediatric and neonatal transport, it is an ICU on wheels, staffed by highly trained pediatric and neonatal transport medical teams. From hospitals throughout the region, injured and critically ill children and newborns are transported to Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children to the areas only Pediatric ER, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Seniors Dean Pavlou and Niko Brown led the Mocs on Day 1 of the 2013 Southern Scuffle, presented by Defense Soap. Both University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestlers advanced to the quarterfinals of their respective weight classes in the much-anticipated tournament in McKenzie Arena.
Top-ranked Penn State leads the team scores with 102.0 points and has six wrestlers in the main draw semifinals. No. 3 Minnesota is in second with 94 points, followed by No. 2 Oklahoma State (89.5), No. 8 Cornell (4) and No. 6 Missouri (75.0). The Mocs have four wrestlers still alive and sit in 13th place overall with 25 points.
Pavlou opened with an 11-3 major decision over Ohio's Kagan Squire. He followed that with a 6-3 decision against American's Tom Page who was competing unattached. In the round of 16, he went up against Penn State's Bryan Pearsall and came away with an impressive 7-1 win.
In the quarterfinals, Pavlou found himself matched up with No. 1 seed and 11-th ranked Mike Nevinger. After a scoreless first period, Nevinger went up 1-0 with an escape in the second. Pavlou was unable to counter in the third, and gave up eight back points before losing 10-0. He will face unattached Zachary Beitz in the consolations tomorrow.
Brown ran his personal win streak to 13 matches before losing to Arizona State's ninth-ranked Jake Meredith 7-5. His wins came against Duke's Michael Chapman (10-2) and Cornell's William George (3-1 OT). Brown will take on Cornell's Jace Bennett in the backdraw.
Sophomore Nick Soto came into the tournament ranked as high as No. 7 in the nation and looking to improve on his second place showing at last year's Scuffle. He opened with an overtime win over Virginia's Nick Hermann (8-5) but lost in overtime to Old Dominion's Rob Deutsch (3-1). He is still alive in the consolations after two wins in the backdraw.
Sophomore Kevin Malone is the other Moc still alive for tomorrow's action. He fell to Penn State's 15th-ranked Jimmy Lawson (5-1) in the round of 16, but bounced back in the consolations. He defeated Air Force's Bentley Alsup (3-2) and scored a 5-3 win over UNC's Mike Kosoy.
Doors open tomorrow at McKenzie Arena at 8:00 a.m. (E.S.T.) with action beginning at 9:00 a.m. All of the top wrestlers are still alive and have set up and exciting semifinal round at 11:00 a.m. The finals and medal matches will all take place at 6:00 p.m.
Today's attendance of 2,543 was a 15% increase over last year's opening day crowd of 2,210. With a number of marquee matches on the horizon for Day 2, UTC should top last year's two-day total of 4,373.

India Patent Authority Has Big Pharma WorriedCorporate Counsel 2012-10-15 00:00:00.0 When the government of India revoked U.S. drug maker Pfizer Inc.s local patent for its cancer drug Sutent last week, it marked yet another loss for Big Pharma in an escalating patent war between multinational pharmaceutical companies and the governments of developing nations.
These patent fights are of growing concern to global pharmaceutical companies, which fear they will not only lose access to a burgeoning market but also that generic drug makers in India, already dubbed the worlds pharmacy, will supplant their business in emerging markets. The disputes also illustrate the sometimes-competing interests of intellectual property rights and access to medicine for poor people in the developing world. The drug makers say allowing generic drug makers to sell copies will discourage innovation. International aid groups warn that without the generics, inexpensive medicines to treat AIDS, cancer, and other diseases could disappear. |

Umbilical hernia repair is surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. An umbilical hernia is a sac (pouch) formed from the inner lining of your belly (abdominal cavity) that pushes through a hole in the abdominal wall at the belly button.
You will probably receive general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free) for this surgery. If your hernia is small, you may receive spinal or epidural block anesthesia and medicine to relax you. You will be awake but pain-free.
Your surgeon will make a surgical cut under your belly button.
Umbilical hernia can also be repaired using a laparoscope, a thin, lighted tube that lets the doctor see inside your belly. The laparoscope will be inserted through one of the cuts and instruments will be inserted through the other cuts.
Umbilical hernias are fairly common. A hernia at birth will push the belly button out. It shows more when a baby cries because the pressure from crying makes the hernia bulge out more.
In infants, the problem is not usually treated with surgery. Most of the time, the umbilical hernia shrinks and closes on its own by the time a child is 3 or 4 years old.
Umbilical hernia repair may be needed in children for these reasons:
Umbilical hernias are fairly common in adults. They are seen more in overweight people and in women, especially after pregnancy. They tend to get bigger over time.
Smaller hernias with no symptoms sometimes can be watched. Surgery may pose greater risks for patients with serious medical problems.
Without surgery, there is a risk that some fat or part of the intestine will get stuck (incarcerated) in the hernia and become impossible to push back in. This is usually painful. If the blood supply to this area is cut off (strangulation), urgent surgery is needed. You may experience nausea or vomiting, and the bulging area may turn blue or a darker color.
To avoid this problem, surgeons often recommend repairing the umbilical hernia in adults. Surgery is also used for hernias that are getting larger or are painful. Surgery secures the weakened abdominal wall tissue (fascia) and closes any holes.
Get medical care right away if you have a hernia that does not get smaller when you are lying down or that you cannot push back in.
The risks of surgery for umbilical hernia are usually very low, unless the patient also has other serious medical problems.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Risks for any surgery are:
A specific risk of umbilical hernia surgery is injury to the bowel (large intestine). This is rare.
Your surgeon or anesthesia doctor will see you and give you instructions for you or your child.
An anesthesiologist will discuss your (or your child's) medical history to determine the right amount and type of anesthesia to use. You or your child may be asked to stop eating and drinking 6 hours before surgery. Make sure you tell your doctor or nurse about any medications, allergies, or history of bleeding problems.
Several days before surgery, you may be asked to stop taking:
Most umbilical hernia repairs are done on an outpatient basis, which means that you will likely go home on the same day. Some repairs may require a short hospital stay if the hernia is very large.
After surgery, your doctor and nurse will monitor your vital signs (pulse, blood pressure, and breathing). You will stay in the recovery area until you are stable. Your doctor will prescribe pain medicine if you need it.
Your doctor or nurse will show you how to care for your or your child's incision at home. You or your child should be able to do all of your normal activities in 2 - 4 weeks.
There is always a chance that the hernia can come back. However, for healthy patients, the risk of it coming back is very low.

GIGABYTE GA-H55N-USB3 Load Line Regulation & Over Current Protection Modifications Guide
By TeamVR on October 13, 2010 4:42 pm@vrzoneNotice that the GIGABYTE GA-H55N-USB3 becomes a better CPU overclocking platform when Load Line Calibration is disabled? We investigate why, and show you how to maximise your overclocks with a simple modification, or two.
GIGABYTE's GA-H55N-USB3 is probably the most often overclocked mini-ITX form factor mainboard around. We have also heard that with the GA-H55N-USB3, processor overclocking improves with "Load Line Calibration" disabled in the BIOS. This goes against the general "belief" that the processor Voltage Regulation Module (VRM) should hold the processor VCC within the tightest possible margins at high processor clocks.

Response to Ken Ham
Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
Stress and God's Built-in Neuro-sabbath
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
Walking the Walk: Thoreau and the art of seeing nature
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
Evolution and Faith in Latin America, Part 2
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Francis Collins by the Book
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
Faith, Science and Metaphors
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.

In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.

A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Worshiping, Growing, and Learning
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.

If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Confronting Our Fears (6 entries)
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order (6 entries)
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Series: It's an Old World After All (2 entries)
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.

Why do most Christians think the King James Version of 1611 is the ultimate one to study God's word with?
And what did Christians do before 1611? Guess they were out of luck..eh?
So no bibles existed before 1611?
I just don't get the hoopla about the KJV 1611. Some even say that every other bible that came after the KJV 1611 is demonic. Well what about before 1611? No bibles were around? And if they were, they were all satanic?
If anyone here knows the history, let me in on it please, i would appreciate it.

According to the Bradley County Medical Examiner's Office, 10 infants have died as the result of possible accidental asphyxiation or sudden infant death syndrome since November 2011.
The state of Tennessee will be launching a public awareness campaign to alert parents of newborns and how to "lay them down at sleep time," according to Eric Blach, of the local ME's office.
"We have all done it," he said of ways parents may have unknowingly put their infants at risk by cuddling or sleeping with them.
At least six cases under investigation in Bradley County involving infant deaths are suspected asphyxiation.
"We have not concluded these cases yet, but investigation of those six cases indicated the cause of death as asphyxiation and the infant sleeping with one or both parents," Blach said.
Positional asphyxiation occurs when the airway is cut off or obstructed due to head and neck positioning.
Infant carriers are positioned with the infant slanted so as not to cause their head to fall forward and diminish or cut breathing capability.
Blach said one local infant death occurred when the parent and infant were sleeping on a couch. Positional asphyxia was the cause when the infant became "wedged," reports said.
In another case, a parent had slept with an infant and pressure from the parent's leg being on the infant was determined as the cause of death. Blach determined "overlaying" as the actual factor. In some of the cases, both parents had been asleep with the infant.
"An unsafe sleep environment for an infant can mean several things. Since we have worked to try to avoid classifying SIDS as the cause of infant death and gotten deeper into investigation through autopsy and scene visitation, we can rule out SIDS in a number of cases and find a real cause. This is what we are finding out," Blach said.
"Most infant deaths are preventable if you follow the ABCs," he added.
The primary message for parents and others who care for infants is to "Remember the ABCs of Safe Sleep." There are three critical measures to follow when it is time for an infant to sleep, according to Blach and the Tennessee Department of Health.
n "A" is for Alone: always let the baby sleep alone, never in a bed with another person where the baby could be smothered.
n "B" is for on the baby's Back; an infant should be placed to sleep on his or her back, not on his or her side or stomach.
n "C" is for Crib: always put your child to sleep in a crib with only a firm mattress and tight-fitting sheet.
"Nothing ... no pacifier, covering, pillows, toys, bottles, bumper pads — [place] nothing in the crib other than the infant. That is what we are finding that parents need to do," Blach said.
"An infant doesn't have the strength to tell a parent when something is wrong. They sometimes can't make a noise and warn a parent," he restated.
TDH has also created a dedicated website for the A-B-C program at safesleep.tn.gov.
"While we're trying to reach as many current and soon-to-be parents as possible, we also want to reach out to grandparents, aunts and uncles, older siblings — anyone who might be responsible when it's an infant's bedtime," said Michael Warren, MD, MPH, FAAP, TDH Family Health & Wellness director, said. "It takes only a few seconds to put a baby into an empty crib on its back for safe sleeping, but those few seconds are so important. Just remember to follow your A-B-Cs and you might save a life."
Blach is a member of Bradley County Emergency Medical Service as well as one of the medical examiners locally. He is a board certified fellow of the American Board of Legal Medical Investigators, only one of three in the state of Tennessee.

The Reading Fire has grown to 20,642 acres and is only 10 percent contained.
Burning operationswere successful last night. 1.8 miles of fire line from West Prospect Peak to Red Rock and 3.2 miles uphill to Rail Canyon were burnt out. An additional 1.4 miles were prepared from the 20 road to the 12 road around Badger Mountain.
Firing operations will continue along the indirect fire containment lines when and where burning conditions permit. These burning operations may be conducted either day or night as conditions allow, and will result in smoke appearing some distance from the wildfire edge. The firing operations will take place over a several day period in order to moderate fire effects.
The head of the fire will continue to spread northwest over both West Prospect and Prospect Peak and north over Badger Mountain down the Hat Creek drainage. The western flank of the fire will continue burning around the western and slope of Raker Peak. The eastern flank will continue burning upslope to the east towards Fairfield Peak and Fantastic Lava Beds. The western flanks and heel should hold within existing containment lines.
Planned actions for today are to continue preparation for firing operations on the northern part of the fire, continue to patrol and mop up on the southern part, and continue preparation for potential structure protection.There are now 1,218 personnel working on the Reading Fire.
