- How to Read a Study Record
To maintain stable body balance in daily activities, the ability to respond to external perturbations is an essential factor. Such capacity is limited in pathological conditions, such as in stroke, in which postural control is impaired due to lesions to the central nervous system. Impairment to postural control increases body sway during upright posture and leads to augmented frequency of falls. In this sense, the identification of mechanisms involved in body balance disorders after stroke is particularly important in situations of postural perturbation. The purpose of this project is to evaluate reactive postural responses to unpredictable external perturbations, analyzing postural dysfunctions caused by lesion to different brain areas as a result of stroke, and test principles of dynamic body balance rehabilitation.

Highly Resilient Synthetic Hydrogels with Tunable Mechanical Properties
This technology, developed by a team of polymer scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, provides a versatile and simple method for producing highly resilient synthetic hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties comparable to the most efficient, naturally occurring elastic protein called resilin. The method involves the use of photo-initiated crosslinking reaction of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers having reactive end-groups in the presence of a tetra-functional thiol cross-linker. The resultant resilient hydrogels possess network elements of resilin, including a uniform network structure, low crosslink density, and an absence of secondary structures within the crosslinked primary chains. These hydrogels are capable of undergoing significant reversible deformation without energy loss (97% resilience) at varying water content and show negligible hysteresis across a broad range of strains up to 300%. The swelling capacity, stiffness and fracture toughness of the hydrogels can be easily tuned by controlling the volume fractions of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers to tailor the hydrogels to the specific needs of end-use applications. Current studies have focused on material elements common in extended wear contact lenses.
- Manufacture of contact lenses and other protective wear
- Biomedical applications including wound dressing and drug delivery
- Novel and simple method of hydrogel synthesis with versatile and scalable synthetic chemistry platform
- Homogeneous crosslinked polymer network with resilin-like, highly elastic properties
- Robust mechanical properties
- Easily tunable water content and mechanical properties such as stiffness and fracture toughness

To take advantage of angels, you have to understand what they're looking for and what they expect. You have to give them a reason to want to help you. Here's what you need to know and do:
Offer the possibility of a high return.
An angel is not interested in investing in a mom-and-pop office supply store. He or she likely will be much more interested in "momandpopofficesupply.com." But it's not just high technology that opens an angel's door. It is the possibility of monumental growth and thus monumental return on the angel's investment.
If you expect your new or growing business to have revenues expanding at 10 to 15 percent per year for the next few years, few angels would pay attention. If you have a good idea for a special business, or your company is poised for exponential growth say 20 or 30 percent a year for the next few years then you might keep an angel's attention.
Angels make risky investments. Most ventures they invest in fail. So they need a big return from the successes.
Go to the right angels.
You won't find them in the Yellow Pages. You'll find them by networking, by asking business associates and financial advisers, by going to networking club meetings. Often, angels invest in what they know. Some only invest in high-tech companies. Some only invest in certain industries. Don't waste your time with someone who cares little about your business or industry.
Make your pitch.
You must have a thoroughly researched and well-written business plan for your startup or expansion. The plan should detail why your company has the experience, customer base, or market expertise to succeed.
Hugh Mackworth, an Oregon entrepreneur and founder of an angel network in Portland, says he advises entrepreneurs to have different verbal versions of that plan ready in one-minute, seven-minute and hour-long spiels. Be ready for angels' various attention spans, he says. Sometimes, you have to get their attention very quickly. Also be ready to get your point across in other ways with videos or Power-Point presentations, for instance.
Angels often look for something beyond the business plan to impress them. It might be the extraordinary management team you've put together for your startup, or a very good board of directors or board of advisers for your existing company. Or it may simply be mentioning another angel or venture capitalist or entrepreneur who's invested in your company.
Know their long-term expectations.
Angels can be helpful in ways far beyond their money. Many have business and entrepreneurial experiences that can help your company avoid pitfalls that many beginning or growing companies fall into. Many angels are willing to watch quietly as their investments grow as the company does well. But some will expect more than a good return on their investment. Some will expect, for instance, that you be willing to bring in a top-flight chief executive officer if the company does very well that you will give up some control of your own company. So know everyone's expectations at the start to avoid those that are unrealistic or don't match your own.

2 South Dakota ex-cons set for execution in Texas
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - Kevin Varga and Billy Galloway met in prison in South Dakota. Now it appears they'll die together in a Texas prison a day apart.
Varga is set for execution Wednesday evening for the 1998 robbery and slaying of an Army officer in Greenville, in north Texas, as part of a cross-country crime spree. Galloway, who is also 41, is scheduled to die 24 hours later for the same killing.
Prosecutors say Varga, Galloway and two women left Sioux Falls, S.D., on Sept. 1, 1998, heading to Mexico.
Evidence showed they robbed and fatally beat a man in Wichita, Kan. Then they robbed and killed 37-year-old David Logie of Fayetteville, N.C., after meeting him at a motel bar in Greenville.
The four fled in Logie's car and were arrested days later in San Antonio.

January transfer window: Nottingham Forest rumours- Norwich City poised to take Camp off Forest's books
Posted: January 21, 2013|
Nottingham Forest's out of favour goal keeper, Lee Camp, is on the verge of signing for Norwich City, reports indicate.
The Northern Ireland international will hold a medical with the Canaries today with a view to a free transfer.
Camp's been on the lookout for a new club since he was warned he has no future as Forest's number one.
Alex McLeish told the 28-year old that he needs to find another club after his long lasting dispute with the Reds' board had proved too much for the Scotsman's patience.

Meanwhile, Derby County manager, Nigel Clough, has laughed off any interest he may have had in signing Nottingham Forest's Dexter Blackstock.
It was reported Derby will make an official offer for the Forest striker, immediately after the two sides met in the east midlands derby on Saturday.
However, Clough dismissed the rumours after the game, he said: "We had a chuckle over that [report].
"Funnily enough, we did not go straight into the Forest dressing room after the game and make an offer for him."
Blackstock is out of contract at the end of the season and is eligible to speak to other clubs during the January window.
The Reds are keen to re-sign the 26 year-old and it was reported in the Nottingham Post last week that Forest had offered Blackstock a new three-year-deal.
The player is yet to sign a contract.

Gold Standard
A little girl gives her parent a gold-wrapped box filled with kisses, then dies.
[Collected via e-mail, December 2002]
It's said that we have a choice to make. I've chosen. Now it's your turn to choose. The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his
daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became even more upset when the child pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy." The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty. He spoke to her in a harsh manner: "Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said: "Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full."
The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl, and he begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is told that the father kept that gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. And whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
Variously titled "Gold Wrapping Paper" and "The Gold Box," this piece has been reproduced in a number of inspirational and
books and was even read into the
of the Australian Parliament in 2001 by one of the members of that body.
The common Internet-circulated version of this item is based on a longer first-person account given by Margaret Fishback Powers in her 1993 book
Footprints: The True Story Behind the Poem That Inspired Millions
. Although Powers asserts she penned the "Footprints" poem when she was a young woman searching for direction at the crossroads in her life, her claim is
by the estate of Mary Stevenson, which supports
their declaration of Stevenson's 1936 authorship of the poem with a handwritten copy dated 1939. That
date has been at least somewhat confirmed by a 1997 forensic
of the document that authenticated the paper and the handwriting as
40-60 years
Powers' account of the gold-wrapped box story takes place at Christmas 1972 during a time when she, her husband, and their two daughters had precious little to live on. Part of their last forty dollars (which was to be used for groceries and gasoline) was spent on gold wrapping paper, an act that incited the husband to scream at his wife for being wasteful. Later that evening he discovered their youngest child had used all of the paper to wrap what looked to be a shoebox, an act that prompted him to grab her by one arm, jerk her into the air, and slap her hard several times. The next morning, after kicking the wrapped box out of the way, his little daughter informed him it was a present for him. According to Powers:
Paul took it and shook it gently, but it was very light and nothing rattled inside. The tape all over the box made it hard to unwrap and his frustration and impatience once again spilled over. He ripped it open, but when he looked inside, there was nothing there. With his temper no longer in check, he said sharply "Christina! Don't you know you should put something in a box before you wrap it up as a gift?"
Tears were streaming down her little face as she said, "But Daddy, I
put something in it. I blew kisses into it! It's full of love just for you!"
According to Powers, their daughter's statement impelled her husband to drop to his knees, hug the little one and beg her for forgiveness, then hug his wife and other child, begging them for forgiveness as well. "Paul received a healing within at that moment — the enemy, his anger, died. He cried out to God for help and received it."
The details of the online version (which is a restatement of the Powers story by someone who had either read the tale in her book or heard it from either of the Powers during their ministries) shift from telling to telling: the child's age is variously given as four or five years, and the parent can be either the mother or the father. It also adds the heart-wrenching element of the little girl's subsequent death and the father's seeking solace during difficult times by opening the box and taking one of the imaginary kisses from it. Our earliest collected online version of this piece dates to December 2000 and includes the following coda, leading us to believe its unknown Internet author wanted to position it as a religious piece stressing God's unconditional love:
In a very real sense, each of us as humans, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, friends, family, and especially our CREATOR. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold than that wonderful gold box of ours.
Later versions omit that point, repositioning the item into one about the importance of treasuring children even when that act means dealing gently with their transgressions. In this story about wasted wrapping paper, the parent's anger melts into remorse as he hears his daughter's explanation of the box's contents. Remorse is a standard element in glurge tales (e.g., an enraged father
his toddler son's fingers with a hammer, then commits suicide upon realizing what he has done; the family dispatches their blood-covered dog only to afterwards discover he'd
their child from a snake or wolf). In the wrapping paper tale, that remorse finds expression in the detail about the child's subsequent death — the grieving parent is left with only memories of his child and an empty box.
As to whether this is a true story, while just about anything is possible with children, this tale is best regarded as a fable about appreciating the value of people over material things.

What Christians Can Learn from the Occupy Movement. ~ Jeff Fulmer
Are Christians of today following in the footsteps of the same Christ who drove the moneylenders from the temple?
What started out as a single protest at Zuccotti Park in New York has now spread to over 900 cities around the world.
There are several reasons why the Occupy Movement has experienced such exponential growth in a relatively short amount of time, not the least of which was their willingness to boldly seize a cause that was crying out for a champion. There was, and still is, a groundswell of people who are desperate to restore balance to a fundamentally flawed and unjust economic system.
While more Americans than ever slipped below the poverty line in 2011 (46.2 million), the wealthiest 1% now controls 40% of the nation's wealth. That kind of disparity is wrong by any standard, and is an injustice that falls squarely within the church's domain. Some pastors have been fighting the good fight for years; however, many are strangely silent when it comes to getting actively involved in shaping policies that help the sick, hungry, and poor (aka "the least of these.") Not wanting to create a rift in their congregations or upset contributors, they tend to shy away from the "controversial" issues.
2000 or so years ago, a radical preacher and healer spoke out against the powers of his day. "They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them." (Matthew 23:4) Jesus was speaking about the Pharisees, but he could have easily been talking to business people who exploit the public, as well as the politicians who protect them. He also had some pretty harsh things to say about money and those who hoard it. (Matthew 6: 24, Matthew 19:23, Luke 12: 13 – 21, Luke 16: 19-31)
Besides tapping into the discontent of many Americans, Occupy Wall Street is doing some other things churches would do well to emulate. For instance, #OWS is very decentralized and democratic. While they have organizers, they seem willing to put everything to a vote, including what and where to protest. Listening to their members and empowering them to take up the banner in their own communities has helped the movement spread like wildfire. And when the press and celebrities show up at their rallies, they are greeted without fanfare and treated like normal people.
While it often feels like Washington only listens to people who can afford lobbyists, church leaders can be just as guilty of cozying up to the rich and powerful. "… they love the places of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted in the marketplace and to have men call them 'Rabbi.' (Matthew 23: 5 – 7) Big denominational organizations pronounce official edicts on morality, and mega-churches put their charismatic preachers on pedestals. These top-down hierarchies can often rob the church of the untapped potential in their pews.
From the beginning, #OWS has been fiercely anti-advertising and anti-consumerism. Inspired by the protests taking place in Egypt, it was Adbusters who originally floated an email about a march on Wall Street. (Adbusters produces ads that challenge misleading corporate messages). For many of us, the notion of not selling out is appealing. After a lifetime of being told that happiness can be ours for the price of a cell phone or car, many are no longer buying the lies.
People are hungry for an alternative to the never-ending cycle of consumerism, and churches can draw a starker line between the love of God and love of the world. Christmas is the most obvious way religion has been co-opted by capitalism, but money finds many more subtle ways to creep in and corrupt the most well-intentioned plans. Jesus never seemed angrier than when he drove the moneychangers from the temple. (John 2:14 – 16) That's a pretty strong message that God will not be bought.
Finally, Occupy Wall Street is using peaceful methods to protest the powers that be. The fact that they have been evicted from various public areas only makes them more sympathetic. And when they are willing to go to jail or endure physical hardship (such as the Marine, Scott Olson), it engenders respect. This is essentially the same method that Martin Luther King and Mohandas Gandhi used to protest — both of whom were influenced by Christ and his peaceful (except for the moneychangers) ministry.
When was the last time Christians linked arms to protest anything? Many of us have missed meaningful opportunities to let our voices be heard. While martyrdom isn't required for most modern day believers, we are called to make sacrifices. "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." (Matthew 9:23) Not only is speaking out being true to your convictions, it also offers a beacon of hope to others. The world is attracted to people who are passionate enough to live out their beliefs in the open and out on the streets.
It can be dangerous to paint all of Wall Street with the same brush, just as the Tea Party does more harm by vilifying all things government. While I'm reluctant to embrace everything about #OWS, I certainly hope they will facilitate positives changes. Even if I don't Occupy Wall Street, or even my hometown of Nashville, there are endless opportunities to make a difference. After all, as Christians, we have been called to occupy the nations and lead the way to a better, more just world.

[…] not an academic one. So many Christian friends of mine and their pastors (also friends) are at best uninvolved or apathetic towards the Occupy movement, and at worst, openly hostile to it, that I feel the need to defend what I believe is obvious. (Not […]
YES! Terrific piece. Let's put the "Protest" back into Protestant and the "Universal" back into Catholic! : )
As Bishop Desmond Tutu put it, "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."
On a related note see also these blogs on Elephant: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/10/10-things-…
& http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/11/adventus-a…
As most often is the case by people who have not properly used the Bible, we see a n example on money changing completely quoted out-of-context. Like any good research, one must dig out the "who, what, when, where and why"; and the surrounding context of the statement(s). There is nothing condemning the practice of money changing in the Bible. Unless you get to the specifics of the matter. In this case it was "where" the money changing was taking place. "In the house of God, the temple".
That is exactly right Dan. Once again, people want to use "The Bible" for their agenda.
That was the Temple not Wall street. Worship not Work. Two different things.
A lot of things to like here! But, as usual, I take a contrarian point of view.
"Jesus never seemed angrier than when he drove the moneychangers from the temple"
Which is why the whole episode seems unlikely. Jesus was too wise to ever become angry. Angry episodes strike me as stories added later by people who didn't understand His message.
"Christmas is the most obvious way religion has been co-opted by capitalism,"
Capitalism is amoral. It responds to people's desires, for better or worse. It can only co-opt if that's what people want. One person at Ele explained: "Buddha said that desire is the cause of suffering, not capitalism is the cause of suffering." For me, Jesus and Buddha had a similar depth of understanding.
"money finds many more subtle ways to creep in and corrupt the most well-intentioned plans"
Nah, it's not money. Money is just a way to make exchange a WHOLE lot easier.
Blaming capitalism and money is too easy. It misses the target and therefore, to my mind, misses the solution. The problem is inside us, not out there.

Welcome toGerrards Cross Cricket Club
Gerrards Cross Cricket Club is part of Gerrards Cross Sports Club which consists of Cricket, Hockey and Tennis. The club was formed in 1882 and moved to its present site in 1912 when the cricket club was offered land behind the Parish church. A Tennis Section was formed soon afterwards and in the early 1950s many of the cricketers, who were keen hockey players, created a winter section which kept the club active throughout the year.
The 1st XI have been playing in Division 2 (West) of the ECB Home Counties Premier League since 2003. The league was re-structured at the end of the 2013 season which resulted in promotion for the 1st XI who will play in Division 1 in 2014.
The 2nd XI secured promotion from Thames Valley League Division 3a in 2012 and are now playing in Division 2b.
In 2013, the club's 3rd XI was re-formed and joined the Thames Valley League in Division 9B. The 3rd XI provides returning players and younger members of the club with an opportunity to experience league cricket. In 2015 the 3rd XI were promoted as unbeaten champions!
There are three adult sides on a Saturday and one on a Sunday. There is also a large colts section of over 250, playing at all age groups from 5 to 17. The club is proud of the number of colts that have been selected for Buckinghamshire in recent years and former England Test Captain, Andrew Strauss, played for the club during the 1990s.
In 1985 a magnificent club house was built to replace the ageing tennis and cricket pavilions and this has enabled the club to expand. This is a thriving and extremely social club where all sections support and enjoy each others company. If you are moving to the area or did not know of our existence then come and pay us a visit.

Christology in the Seven Ecumenical Councils
Basic Christian Doctrines: The Trinity and the Person of Christ
From a Lecture by Lay-Brother Michael
Since the days of the New Testament, Christians have understood Christ to be both God and Man, the Word made flesh for our Salvation. In the history of the Church through the Seven Ecumenical Councils, the Fathers have developed the Orthodox Doctrine of Christ with this central truth as their guiding light.
Throughout the many vicissitudes raised by the temptation to stray from the understanding of Christ as both God and Man, the Church always returned to two central ideas:
1) Mankind found himself in such a state, spiritually, that only the power of God, that is, only if Christ were God could He truly save mankind.
2) Granted that Christ our God affected our salvation, He could only do so if He assumed all that we are and became fully man.
In essence the danger of heresies was not that they simply had or presented an unclear or incorrect understanding of God or Christ, rather, they had the effect of spiritually calling into question in the heart of the Christian whether God had really affected our salvation. (or, as in the case of some, if salvation was really necessary!)
In fact, heresies about Christ invariably had the effect of diminishing the full truth of the redemption of mankind and the salvation of each individual soul.
As we sketch the doctrinal issues of the seven Ecumenical Councils, we will see that behind the theology was this great spiritual concern of the Fathers for the salvation of every Christian.
Arian taught that Christ was not God, but rather a creature.
Arian Salvation:
Christ taught us the way to, like Himself, become morally and spiritually like God. He does not save by Grace, but by example and teaching.
Teaching of the Council:
1) Doctrine: Christ is fully God, of 'one substance with the Father', 'begotten not made', begotten, that is, from the substance of the Father, true God of true God.
2) Salvation: Only God can truly save man in his fallen state, therefore if Christ were only a creature, however exalted, He would not have the power necessary to truly bring mankind out of sin and into fellowship with God. God Himself in Christ is calling mankind into fellowship with Him, and He gave His life on the Cross to affect the reconciliation.
Various heresies, the main ones being the Macedonian or Pnumatomachian, various Arian divisions, the Anomean, and the Apollinarians.
The Holy Spirit is also fully God, Who proceeded form the Father, and with the Father and Son is worshipped and glorified; He is the giver of life.
Also, the truth of the First Council of Nicea regarding the full divinity of Christ was reaffirmed, and the whole theology of the Trinity given greater depth by the Cappadocians, Athanasius and Hilary.
The heresy of Apollinarius was anathematized, and, although it did not significantly play any part in the Creed itself, the teaching behind the rejection of Apollinarius was to play a great role in the history of the Christological controversies.
Apollinarius, a defender of the position of Nicea and a supporter of Athanasius, taught that Christ, although fully God, was not fully a man in the same sense that we are. He taught that Christ the Logos occupied the part of the soul in mankind.
He argued that, as Logos, He was already in charge of the governing of Creation, since through Him all things were made, then He would have no trouble operating and animating a human body. He interpreted 'flesh' from the New Testament in such a way that it meant the body only.
One of the prime motivators for his thinking this way was wanting to safeguard Christ from the effects of the fall as He joined himself to humanity. He felt that if Christ had indeed assumed the rational soul of man, then with it would have come the rational free will, and therefore the possibility to sin.
Since, as The Epistle to the Hebrews states, that Christ is without sin, Apollinarius concluded that He must have taken over the part of the rational soul and will in the body He assumed from Mary, and thus was safeguarded from the possibility of sin.
He also saw the joining of Christ, as the pre-existent Logos, to His human body as forming a 'nature' that is, one concrete unified being.
The Orthodox reply to his teachings, first by Athanasius, and later by the Cappadocians, was summed up in the famous statement of Gregory of Nyssa: 'That which is not taken is not healed, but whatever is united to God is saved'.
If Christ had no human soul, then the human soul is not redeemed.
In their understanding, it was precisely because the seat of sin is in the will that Christ has to have assumed a human will, thus a human soul, in order through His perfect life, and His death on the Cross, to raise and restore the will of mankind to a godly state.
He could not do this if He himself, in becoming 'man' became only part of a man. In Apollinarius' view, Christ was in effect neither God nor man, but a hybrid combination of a God clothed with flesh.
In addition, the Eastern view of redemption was held to have taken place from the moment of the incarnation, when Christ joined to a human nature. Thus, the joining of God to mankind made possible the influx of the divine life into mankind.
This is the physical-mystical view, whereby in virtue of the solidarity of all human nature with the 'particular' nature Christ assumed, when He assumed our nature, it was restored to the state before the Fall, and, further, after the Resurrection and the Ascension, we are all given the possibility of being a new creation of Christ in the general resurrection, whereby we will be raised a spiritual body. Thus, every person on earth is called to in the universal salvation offered by Christ.
Thus, although He was truly God and therefore had the power of God to save mankind, the great insight of Athanasius at the First Ecumenical Council, Apollinarius inferred that He lacked the second corresponding part of that power, to Himself be fully joined to our human nature.
Came about through the controversy raised by Nestorius of Constantinople and the reaction of Cyril of Alexandria, over whether Christ as God was truly given birth by Mary the Theotokos.
They both had the same basic doctrine of the Trinity, and each in his own way was trying to safeguard some of the fundamental principles of the Trinity, such as the immutability of God, while developing a theology of God made Man.
Nestorius, in denying that Mary gave birth to God, but only to the son of David, that is, the humanity of the Lord, then he in effect held Christ as the pre-existent Lord so separate from the historical humanity he was 'joined' to, that for Cyril the unity of Christ was in danger, and, therefore, the possibility of a true salvation of humanity.
The Third Council, Ephesus 432, declared Mary to be truly the Theotokos, and the subject of Jesus Christ to be none other than the pre-existent Logos, the Son of God, who joined Himself to our humanity for our salvation.
Brought the best insights of both the Alexandrian and the Antiochene Schools and the mediating influence of Pope St. Leo in his Theological Tome into a balance.
This gave a solid outline and form to the question of Christology for the history of the Church.
It gave it in its declaration of faith:
1) The Person of Christ is the Second Person of the Trinity.
2) Christ, after the Incarnation, is consubstantial with both the divine nature and human nature.
3) He is fully both natures, that is, both Man and God, without 'confusion, division, separation, mixture'.
The Fourth Ecumenical Council helped to bring about a reconciliation in spirit between the hitherto opposing theologies of Alexandria and Antioch, which had different starting points for their understanding of Christ.
It tried to define the limits within which one could think about Christ in Person and nature, so that His great work of salvation would not be undermined by incorrect thinking about Him.
After the Fourth Ecumenical Council, there was a reaction in Egypt against the declaration of the council, which was viewed as a triumph of Nestorianism.
This grew into the scope of a national policy in opposition to the Byzantine Empire, who unsuccessfully tried to suppress it.
Justinian and the Orthodox theologians before him tried to effect a reconciliation between the 'Monophysites and the 'Orthodox' by putting forth a declaration of faith that showed:
1) That Orthodox doctrine understands the Son to be the sole subject of the historical Christ to the extent that it can be declared that 'One of the Trinity suffered in the flesh' - the Theopashite formula.
2) That Orthodoxy does not condone or agree to the teaching of Nestorius and his followers and therefore certain of his writings and of others, originally condemned by Cyril of Alexandria, has the support of the Council in proclaiming their error, and they are post-humously condemned.
3) More consideration has to be given to the manner in which Christ assumed humanity, to more fully understand what is 'person' in Christ and 'humanity' (man) in Christ.
The theological foundation of the 'hypostatic union' is given a more precise expression through theological reflection on the nature of the Divine Persons of the Trinity and the Person of Christ, and the function of the Divine 'Hypostasis'.
The reaffirmation of the orthodoxy of Chalcedon after the spiritual crisis raised by the imperial attempts at reconciliation with the Monophysites by the Monothelite heresy, which believed that Jesus Christ had only one will.
The imperial theologian and patriarch Sergius and others had felt that the pronouncement of Chalcedon divided the two natures of Christ to such an extent that there was again the possibility of separation into two 'persons', as in the Nestorian view. They felt that the Fifth Ecumenical Council had created a kind of generic abstract humanity of the Lord, which failed to take into account the living breathing humanity disclosed in the Scriptures.
Therefore they declared that although in Christ there is indeed two natures, both divine and human, there was only one will and energy, the will of the Person of the Son, which concretely acted in and with the whole being of Christ.
Since there was one subject in Christ, one Divine Person, joined to human nature, then there was also one Person acting concretely in the Person of Christ.
If there were indeed two wills then what would safeguard either the harmony of the two wills or the splitting of the person of Christ into virtually two willing and acting persons?
There is a sense in which the Monothelite heresy hit upon a true insight, in that AS Christ acts, His actions are always the actions of one concrete person. There is only one subject, therefore there is only one actor. This is the Christ that is revealed in the pages of the New Testament, a living historical Person.
To discuss two wills in Christ, was to the Monothelites, to abstractly discuss the separate aspects of His Being as if they weren't really one, or were formed into a concrete unity.
As far as the insight that the acts of Christ are concretely one, they were correct. But to go from there and postulate that the human will of Christ was taken over or activated by the divine will of the Son was in effect to deny Christ a human will. And thus in a more subtle form the heresy of Apollinarius was resurrected.
This brought about, in the meantime, by the great theologian Maximus the Confessor, and Pope St. Martin, the theological understanding of the nature of the rational will, and the nature of the person.
Again Maximus looked to the theology of the Trinity to see where will, energy, being, essence, hypostasis, and person were related, then to the same set of realities in the God made Man- Christ.
A distinction was made between the rational free will of human nature, which was seen to be part of the soul, part of the human nature itself, and the ability to choose, i.e. the manner or mode in which this free will was exercised by a concrete human person. The human person, it was understood, could not itself be composed of anything specific to the nature.
Free will belonged to each and every human being, and so therefore could not be a part of the uniqueness of a person, his 'hypostasis'. What belonged to each person was the manner in which he exercised this faculty of free will.
In the case of Adam before the fall, this was to express in any manifold number of ways consonant with his personality his fellowship with God and the living of his life in the Garden.
His personal choice to disobey did not issue from the nature itself, from the free will, itself only knowing a life of goodness in God, but rather in the personal choice of Adam to exercise this free will in opposition to what God intended it for, to find completion and fulfillment in Him, not in the world.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil, i.e. of possibility of expressing free will outside of the realm of Goodness and fellowship with God, became Adam's fall into sin and eventual death, making necessary mankind's redemption.
Maximus, therefore understood both in each and every human being, so also in Christ, the free will to be part of the human nature.
Therefore Christ, in assuming the complete human nature, and being, as Chalcedon taught, fully consubstantial with us, has to be consubstantial not only in substance, but also in energy and will.
This means that Christ has a fully rational free will.
Does that mean that Christ could have sinned?
No, because that free will is always exercised by the Divine Person of Christ, which is God, and in addition the human will in the humanity Christ assumed is restored to the state of Adam before the Fall, so that His concrete human will is exercised always with its true purpose- to be in obedience to God's will.
Maximus also, by focusing on the will of Christ, that is the particular human energy and will of a particular nature, made Christ less abstract because He had a particular will, in a particular body and soul, which was expressed by the Person of Christ the Son of God in the most dynamic personality the world has ever seen.
He also showed more fully in the restoration of human nature the participation of each and every Christian in the body of Christ through baptism and the sacraments, which makes possible our 'deification' or participation in the very life of Christ, partaking of the divine grace of God.
Thus the theological science of spiritual growth was given a christological foundation through the work of St. Maximus and the Sixth Ecumenical Council.
This council, and the theology before and after it up to the triumph of Orthodoxy in 842 underscored the truth in actual practice of the Christology of the previous six councils.
The Iconoclasts (who condemned prayers before icons or paintings of Jesus, the saints, etc.) accused the veneration and depiction of the icon of Christ as being either Nestorian or Manifested. The council affirmed that the Icon of Christ underscores the Orthodox truth of His Person as the unity of the natures, and the icons of the saints reveal the truth of salvation in Christ, as the deification of the entire humanity and transformation by the divine energy, life, grace of God.
Thus the icon links both the theological truth of the incarnation and the spiritual salvation offered to all humanity through His saving work. Further, it illustrates the actualization of the life in Christ of those who have followed His way, and been baptized into His life.
Doctrine and Spirituality are linked in the Icon, and their veneration gives witness in the life of the Christian to the greatness of Christ and the reality of His salvation.

As of March 31, 7,861 individuals and employees enrolled into health plans through the Hawai'i Health Connector, according to officials with the health exchange.
The Connector will continue to help individuals and families to continue through the enrollment process if they started an application or filled out a "wait in line" form by March 31.
"We are pleased that thousands found coverage options through the Connector," said Tom Matsuda, the Connector's interim executive director. "But our work is not done. We have many more individuals who started, but need additional help to complete their enrollment. We are aggressively doing outreach to help them understand their options."
The Connector's customer support center staff is making more than 1,000 calls per day to reach out to consumers who have started, but have not completed, the enrollment process.
Based on the combined effort of the state's Medicaid Program and the Connector, from October 2013 to February 2014, the state Medicaid program has processed, approved, and enrolled more than 28,800 Medicaid eligible people.
All told, when combined with the Connector enrollments, more than 36,000 individuals have received coverage.
"The Connector congratulates and thanks the Department of Human Services and the MedQuest program for its success in enrolling so many people who need help," said Matsuda.
Matsuda will be in Washington, D.C. on Thursday testifying before a Joint Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Job Creation and Regulatory Affairs. The hearing will be on the problems at state health exchanges. The hearing will be livestreamed on the web at around 4 a.m. Hawaii time at oversight.house.gov.

Tiffany, now 19 years old has been pursuing school and fashion modeling, but lucky for us she is still an exhibitionist.
She and Brandon called me and asked if they could come over and make a new X-Art scene, so of course we said YES!
They had abstained from having sex for a few days before shooting so they could enjoy making the video as hot as possible. They said that they wanted our members to experience their true feelings for each other.
Watch them kiss and make passionate love until he fills her with cum.
A gorgeous, real couple that you won't want to miss. And they are only on X-Art :-)

TOKYO (CBS.MW) -- Japanese stocks closed slightly lower Wednesday, as weak tech stocks thwarted a brief afternoon rally attempt prompted by a Moody's Investors Service upgrade of Japan's foreign currency-denominated debt rating.
The Nikkei Average ended down 60 points, or 0.5 percent, at 12,019.62, while the broader Topix fell 4 points, or 0.4 percent, at 1,204.81.
The Nikkei spent most of the session in negative territory, turning positive for a spell after credit rating agency Moody's hiked its rating on Japan's foreign currency government debt by one notch, to "Aaa" from "Aa1."
"This will have a positive impact on general sentiment about Japan," said Jason Rogers, director of credit research at Barclays Capital in Tokyo. See full story.
Most stocks rose on the news, but technology stocks remained under pressure following Nokia's overnight warning of a sales decline. Losses were limited by gains in domestic demand-led issues. Banks were mixed after the upgrade.
The dollar traded at 105.58 yen in late Tokyo, down from 105.75 yen late Tuesday in New York.
In other Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi index added 0.4 percent to near a two-year high of 909.93, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index rose 0.1 percent to 3,458.50, Singapore's Straits Times index gained 0.3 percent to 1,886 and Taiwan's Weighted Average gained 0.2 percent at 6,646. China's Shanghai Composite was down 0.2 percent at 1,774.
In Japan, mobile-handset parts makers such as Kyocera and Murata Manufacturing fell after Nokia NOK, +3.44% the world's biggest manufacturer of wireless phones, warned of a decline in sales, compared to its prior growth projection.
"Nokia's announcement may have a big impact on the overall mobile phone industry," said Norihiro Fujito, senior investment strategist at Mitsubishi Securities.
Kyocera (6971) KYO, +1.76% shed 2.9 percent to 9,200 yen.
Fujitsu sues Samsung
Meanwhile, Fujitsu FJTSY, +0.93% fell 1.3 percent to 680 yen. Japan's biggest computer maker has sued South Korea's Samsung SDI in Japan and the U.S., alleging patent infringements over plasma display panel technology. Fujitsu's Tokyo suit seeks an injunction against the import and sale of these products in Japan. Read full story.
Tokyo Electron TOELF, -5.43% (8035) declined 0.9 percent to 7,320 yen. On Tuesday, the world's second-biggest semiconductor equipment maker raised its net profit forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31 to 8 billion yen, citing growing sales and improvement in profit. It also raised its year-end dividend to 6 yen a yen from 4 yen previously.
Yahoo Japan (4689) shed 4.5 percent to 1.27 million yen. U.S. parent Yahoo YHOO, +6.23% is scheduled to announce its first-quarter earnings later Wednesday.
Among other notables, Asahi Glass Co ASGLY, +1.11% (5201) rose 3.3 percent to 1,200 yen. Japan's biggest glass maker said Tuesday it plans to invest about 16 billion yen to boost manufacturing capacity of glass for plasma display panels.
In the nonlife insurance sector, Sompo Japan SJIIF (8755) fell 0.3 percent to 1,091 yen. Industry data released Tuesday showed Sompo replaced Tokio Marine, a unit of Millea Holdings MLEA (8766), as Japan's largest auto insurance company in fiscal 2003. Millea is still the largest insurer in overall nonlife premium revenue. Its shares were down 1.8 percent at 1.62 million yen.

RECENT reports of recklessness and deaths involving convoys of state governors and other so-called very important persons show once again the barbaric and uncivilised nature of many Nigerian public office holders. Media reports have it that 26 people died within three years because of recklessness and breakneck speed of these convoys. Until these VIPs, especially the governors, take drastic measures to curb this ugly trend, more deaths are bound to occur.
The most recent accident arising from this convoy madness involved the police escort vehicle of the Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Momoh Lawal. According to reports, the occupants of the vehicle were returning from Okene on January 2 this year when the vehicle collided with a truck. This resulted in the death of the Speaker's police escort, Constable Akeem Lamidi. This happened less than one week after the convoy of the Governor of Kogi State, Idris Wada, was involved in a similar crash. The governor's Aide-de-Camp, Mohammed Idris, died in the accident. Wada himself had a fractured femur and was operated upon at an Abuja hospital. He has since been discharged.
The list of similar accidents involving governors' convoys is long. In 2005, the convoy of the then Governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel, was involved in an accident in which five journalists died. Two years later, six aides of the then Niger State Governor, Abdulkadir Kure, died in another convoy accident. Nine other lives, including those of eight journalists, were lost in a similar accident that involved the convoy of the then Plateau State Governor, Joshua Dariye.
Also, in early 2011, five people, including Katsina Governor Ibrahim Shema's ADC, Aminu Ibrahim, died in an accident involving the governor's convoy. Ten others were hospitalised after sustaining injuries. Early in 2012, the convoy of the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, had an accident, leading to the deaths of three journalists. In September 2012, it was the turn of the convoy of the Nasarawa State Governor, Tanko Al-Makura. Three aides of the governor reportedly died in the accident, while many others sustained various degrees of injuries. In November 2012, the speeding convoy of the late Kaduna State Governor, Patrick Yakowa, killed a roadside orange seller in Kaduna.
Governors are not the only culprits. In December 2012, the convoy of Senator Danjuma Goje of Gombe State, allegedly ran over one Haruna Maigari and injured two others in a village in the state. In 2008 when Goje was the governor of the state, his convoy similarly had an accident resulting in the deaths of three people. The convoy of Senator Ajayi Boroffice of Ondo State was, likewise, involved in an accident in which a 58-year-old woman reportedly died. Recently, the security aides of the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, and those of Senator Chris Anyanwu engaged each other in a brawl in a shameless display of power after their respective convoys met. There are conflicting claims from the two politicians as regards the cause of the clash. Luckily, no life was lost, but the head of Anyanwu's naval aide was battered.
One disturbing fact about these convoy accidents is that some of the drivers are not well trained. A test reportedly conducted by the Federal Road Safety Commission in May 2012 indicated that about 300 governors' drivers either did not have valid driving licences or their licences had expired. Besides, most of them reportedly had poor eyesight and high blood pressure. The drivers are so unruly that they have no regard for traffic rules and regulations.
In their overzealous bid to show loyalty, the fawning aides to these VIPs engage in reckless harassment of other road users, as shown by the humiliation of a woman, Elizabeth Udoudo, by the convoy of former Imo State Governor Ikedi Ohakim in Lagos a few years ago.
But much of the blame goes to the governors, who have allowed this absurdity to go on. They have a duty to caution their security details and convoy drivers. But they wouldn't want to do that because they want to be seen and worshipped as emperors who cannot tolerate any other person sharing the road with them.
In an ideal democracy, there is no room for this type of barbarity. In many parts of the civilised world, including some African countries such as Ghana, Botswana and Malawi, leaders do not push their subjects out of the roads with impunity. Joyce Banda of Malawi even had to sell off 60 Mercedes limousines her predecessors used to intimidate their people.
So, it behoves Nigerian leaders to do something to curb these convoy deaths. Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State and a few others have set good examples by not using sirens to intimidate and unnecessarily harass other road users.
Other governors should emulate this. If they use their own convoys with discretion, the convoy of other personalities in the state will similarly take a cue. The governors should also accede to the reported request by the FRSC to include its officers in governors' convoys. The time has come to begin to prosecute all violators of traffic offences, VIPs' convoys inclusive.

Greg Carvel didn't waste any time once he was hired as St. Lawrence's assistant coach before this season. He immediately began breaking down film and used his 12 years of NHL coaching experience to dissect what went wrong in SLU's 13-22-5 season a year ago.
"There was all sorts of energy, passion and excitement, but there wasn't a lot of structure," Carvel said. "I wanted to come in and organize that structure and maximize it."
It was a worthy cause. The problem was these hockey players are not at the same level as those in the NHL. They haven't played the game as long, aren't as skilled and, perhaps most importantly, don't have just hockey to worry about. They also have school.
The team didn't pick up Carvel's new offensive system right away. In the scrimmage against Carleton just two days into practice, the Saints looked like that disorganized bunch of a year ago and lost 5-2.
Then, the following weekend the Saints as they appear now, began to take shape. They ran the systems, albeit slowly. A player would hold the puck a moment too long waiting for others to get to their spots. The Saints would spend more time finding their places on the ice than looking for shots.
In the end, it resulted in two more losses at home to start the season.
"Greg brought in a renewed emphasis on being in position on a consistent basis," associate head coach Mike Hurlbut said. "Each player should know exactly where he should be on the ice in a given situation so there's more consistency between the lines."
A week after dropping its two opening games, the Saints again struggled in their next two contests. Michigan pounded SLU, 10-3, and RIT came away with a heartbreaking 6-5 overtime win. A much-needed three-week break ensued before ECAC Hockey play began on Nov. 4.
"It's been a lot of consistent work on it," Hurlbut said. "If guys didn't know where they were supposed to be, they were to ask Greg or myself. It's a matter of making sure guys are aware of where they're supposed to be."
St. Lawrence dropped one more game, a 2-0 loss to Union at home, to fall to 0-5 overall on the young season. Then, finally, against Rensselaer in front of a homecoming crowd, St. Lawrence finally earned its first win.
The Saints haven't lost since, following that win with road victories over Princeton and Quinnipiac. They now sit tied for first place in the conference with Yale, Union and Cornell.
"It's hard to judge success in wins and losses," St. Lawrence forward Jacob Drewiske said. "I was just happy to see our team play the systems hard and fast and feel comfortable in them. We felt like a team that knew what we were supposed to be doing."
Now, the Saints can focus on doing what it has always done: grind out wins. It will just look a little more fluid to the average fan.
"We can work hard and work smart at the same time," Drewiske said. "We're a team that can't make mistakes. We don't have that offensive fire power to make up for those mistakes. We're going to win games 3-1 or 2-0, so it will be exciting for our fans but give our coaches a lot of gray hairs."
St. Lawrence's Twitter game should be nationally ranked. Already, it's gained national attention from USCHO.com.
Currently, 17 players have accounts on the popular microblogging site with 14 actively tweeting on at least a weekly basis. Many post multiple times daily.
They tweet about class, hockey, playing the new "Call of Duty" video game (Greg Carey said a group has spent around 20 hours playing it since it was released). Ultimately, the Saints use it to chirp each other, and none gets abused more than Kyle Essery.
The Saints were recently featured in a USCHO.com column for its popular hashtag "#eshasbrutalhair."
It all started with a playful jest between Essery and George Hughes.
"I made fun of his hair," Essery said. "He made up the '#eshasbrutalhair' and everyone on the team kind of joined in and it kept on going."
As social networking sites tend to do, the hashtag spread through retweets and new tweets to the point where it went viral in the relatively small ECAC Hockey world. It turned Essery into a kind of celebrity.
"I'm gaining some recognition all around the league," he said. "It's pretty cool, I think."
He still hasn't fully embraced the moniker, although he's enjoying his newfound fame.
"There are a couple other guys that I feel have worse hair than me," Essery said. "I definitely do not have the worst hair on the team."

Dustin Browder, the game director working on Heart of the Swarm for Starcraft II, says that Blizzard is considering dropping the neural parasite in order to return to the classic fungal growth, a change that has received mixed feelings from the fans of the strategy game.
In an interview with Team Liguid, the developer says, "It doesn't get used that much anyway, and when it does get used it's kind of terrible. So I think neural is on the chopping block for Swarm, I think that's a definite possibility. It's definitely something we could take a look at and see how it goes."
If Blizzard drops the neural parasite, some players will complain that the variety of the game mechanics is limited, even if the statistics show the development team that a limited number of players are actually using it.
The second installment in the planned strategy trilogy will focus on the Zerg and Kerrigan, their leader, with Blizzard set to introduce significant changes to the core game mechanics and new units for the player to use.
The problem for the developer is that many players like the balance that Blizzard has currently achieved for the competitive multiplayer and many will be dismayed to see significant modifications for Heart of the Swarm, which will force them to alter their playing style.
An extensive beta process is designed to allow the community to test the changes and offer feedback to the developers.
Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm will be launched exclusively on the PC during March of next year.
Blizzard plans to add a third game to the Starcraft 2 saga, which focuses on the Protoss, at some point in 2014.
At the moment, the company is offering a significant price cut to all those who are willing to get Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty from Battle.net.
