Advocate and Messenger--September 1929
A brother requested my views through the Advocate and Messenger on Rom. 10:13, 14, 15, which reads: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not hear? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent? As it is written how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of goad things."
I would state first that to take one isolated text, or sentence, and undertake to make all others harmonize with it, is to consume time to no profit, because we are sure to come out in the end in direct opposition to the general tenor of God's inspired word. Therefore, we must conclude that the interpretation that harmonizes with the general teachings of God's inspired word is the proper interpretation. We may take isolated sentences from the Bible and prove anything we choose, -- for instance we can say from the Bible, "That Judas went out and hanged himself." Now, add to this, "Go thou and do likewise," and we have proved by Bible authority, that all should go out and hang themselves, which is clearly taught in the above text scrapped together. But such teaching does not harmonize with the general teaching of divine inspiration, and, therefore, cannot be correct.
Now notice what the text says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, how then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?" And we are told many times in the Bible that whosoever believeth in Jesus is already in a saved state, --said to be born of God,-- and is passed from death unto life, which will show to any unprejudiced mind, that no person will call upon the name of the Lord, (in the sense here mentioned) except that are already born of God, and have truly passed from death unto life. And this clearly shows that the preaching of the gospel is not designed to be the means of their being born. But that there is such a thing as teaching people through the preaching of the gospel to know and believe, the truth of the Scriptures, and thereby removing the Mosaic vail of conditionalism from off of their eyes, and to give them the assurance of their salvation from sin, and their sweet hope of eternal rest in the home of the blessed, which brings to them that sweet and consoling glad tidings that causes them to burst forth in strains of joy, like the dear old servant of God when he said, "Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me," and thereby saves them from the galling yoke of conditionalism and makes them "rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh."
And for this cause God sends His ministers. He said to Paul, "Unto whom now I send thee," God said, "I will send hunters and they shall hunt them, and fishers and they shall fish them." He did not authorize His church to do that, organize boards or any other auxiliaries, to carry on that work. And I feel perfectly certain that unless God sends His ministers, and qualifies them to preach, that the pure unadulterated gospel will never be preached. And when God sends out a man to preach, He goes before him and prepares the hearts of the people for the reception of the truth, and is clearly taught in the parable of the sower that went forth to sow, while some seeds fell by the wayside, and some among thorns, and some on stony ground, yet some fell into good ground, the preaching failed to remove the stones, and destroy the thorns, yet there was some good ground already prepared for the reception of the seed, and brought forth fruit, which teaches us that God's divine Spirit must go before the minister that God sends and prepare the way before him.And the feet of the men whom God calls and sends forth to this work ought to be kept very clean by their walk and general deportment, so that the dear people of God may see that they are not polluted by the world's corruptions, but are humbly and devotedly striving to follow in the footsteps of the dear Saviour. Then the people will take knowledge that they have been with Jesus, and have learned of His precious ways, and it can be said of them, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things."
But on the other hand, how deplorable it is when a man professes to be sent of God to preach the gospel of good tidings whose feet are besmeared with the corruptions and pollutions of the world, so that people can see that he is only feigning and using the ministry as a cloak to hide his malicious life, and he is all the time trying to stir up strife among the children of God, and would gladly destroy one for whom Christ died, to add to his own popularity, and seeking to raise himself up by pulling down some poor meek and lowly one whom Jesus has sent out to preach the glad tidings and good news to God's people and to save them from the false and delusive doctrines of the world. Such men are contemptible, and have done more to hinder the cause of our people than the enemies on the outside of the fold. And I often fear that our dear people are not clear of such men. Their feet are not beautiful to me, neither is their preaching good tidings to me, and I feel that the time is near when we will have to have a house cleaning, and cast our strength to those humble one's who are struggling in reality under the burden of the ministry, and suffering from the jealousies and persecutions of these trouble makers, who are only striving for the mastery. Therefore, my brother, and all my brethren who may read this, I feel that the time has come when we should beard the lion in his den, and fight valiantly as good soldiers of Jesus, that we may save our people from the hands of designing men, who have shown by their manner of life that they have no love for the cause of God, but are striving to exalt themselves to the highest positions possible, that they may be looked up to as the leaders of parties, and that their names may go down in history.
Brethren, buckle on your swords and strap on your guns, --the battle is on. Let us not yield the field to those jealous, egotistical, filthy-footed, would-be leaders, who would destroy the peace and love that has so long been ours to enjoy. Good bless His downtrodden children, and give them hearts to pray and labor for peace throughout our beloved Zion, is the prayer of your poor old servant.

FESTIVALS: Telluride on a Shoestring
by Doug Stone
(indieWIRE/9.14.00) --If you're hoping for the kind of Telluride 2000 coverage in the usual complete, professional style indieWIRE readers have come to expect, I
should say from the get-go that my girlfriend and I didn't even arrive
in the picturesque mountain town until September 3rd (Sunday afternoon),
a full two days after the festival began. Why? Simply put, we were on a
strict budget at a festival with a reputation for being somewhat
foreboding from a financial perspective. But if you believe, as many do,
that Telluride is only for filmmakers with work in the fest, industry
types with expense accounts, and local Colorado filmgoers, think again:
my total expenditures for attending for a day and a half were only $600
- $250 for a ticket from NYC to Colorado Springs (a beautiful drive of
only 6 hours in the rental car, which, oddly, was also around $250),
about $50 for food, and exactly $45 for a grand total of four films (one
of which was free), which is kind of the embarrassing part, and $0 for
Though we stayed with our friends in the Alloy Orchestra (in town to
perform a new score to "Nosferatu" on opening night), there are plenty
of camping opportunities for those so inclined, most notably in the park
smack dab in the center of town, conveniently located right where free
films are shown at twilight, to be watched right from your tent. The
point of arriving on Sunday is that is the day when the very crowded
festival starts thinning out, and those of us too cheap to fork over
$250 for a festival pass (that being the cheapest) stand any chance at
all of seeing films by buying individual tickets at $15 each (with only
an average 90 minutes of waiting in the Loser Line). Like many fests,
the whole scene is similar to India's caste system, with "Patron-level"
pass-holders acting as the elite Brahmins, able to see any film
hassle-free, all the way down to the Untouchables, or common
waiting-on-long-lines ticket buyers (mostly non-industry Southwestern
locals), whom, I must add, were the most charming, enthusiastic, and
friendliest of everyone there.
Competing with a mind-boggling sunset on Sunday evening was a sneak
preview of "House of Mirth," an Edith Wharton adaptation directed by
Terence Davies and starring Gillian Anderson (insert your own obligatory
"X-Files"-related snide comment here). A detached yet often hypnotic
tale of a turn-of-the-century New York woman's social unraveling, the
film offers some of the same excruciatingly awkward social tensions as
Scorsese's "Age of Innocence," but with none of that film's moral
reassurances. Anderson, Eric Stoltz, Dan Akroyd, and the rest of the
cast offer often bizarrely mannered performances, but it's all part of
Davies' plan: a portrait of the extremes of polite thuggery that lie
just underneath the rituals of the aristocracy. Not a hell of a lot of
fun, but a must for the subgroup of fans into both period costume dramas
and the intense loathing of the characters wearing said period costumes.
A bright and early Monday morning brought us to "Shadow of the Vampire,"
director E. Elias Merhige's fictionalized account of the making of
1921's classic silent "Nosferatu," with John Malkovich as the obsessive
German film director Frederic Murnau, who makes a deal with a devil
named Max Shreck, a vampire pretending to be an actor playing a vampire,
played by the fucking brilliant actor Willem Dafoe.
Merhige was introduced by festival director Bill Pence as a "professor
of aesthetics" at Carnegie-Mellon, and it shows: he's smitten with the
hall-of-mirrors approach of filmmaking within filmmaking, with the
ontological meta-ness of actors playing actors, and silent-film
techniques in a movie about silent filmmaking. But while I'm sure these
ideas looked great on paper (and often do on film), they sometimes
tended to undermine possibilities for some truly visceral horror-comedy.
That said, the premise is so creepy-funny that it carries the entire
movie, the performances, especially Dafoe, are nothing short of
outstanding, and there are many very funny moments which culminate in a
climactic finale that will make you want to rush home to watch the
original "Nosferatu," picking out clues that, just maybe, it's. . . ALL
A side note: while it was not uncommon to see such luminaries as Al
Pacino, the above-mentioned Dafoe, or Werner Herzog strolling around the
streets of Telluride 2000, the best celebrity sighting of the fest, in
my opinion, was Mouse-on-Cat-on-Dog. This alarming trio was often
spotted with their snaggle-toothed owner near the park, surrounded by
intrigued passersby. "How did you teach the mouse to sleep on the cat
and the cat to sleep on the dog?" was a common inquiry. "If I told you
that, everyone would do it, and I'd be out of a job," snarled the
tip-seeking trainer. Everyone? Really? Hmm...
Humiliatingly shut out of "Dinner Rush" (on a Monday, no less), some
kind of restaurant flick starring Danny Aiello of "The Pickle" fame, we
headed for "The King is Alive," the newest Dogma 95 film, directed by
Kristian Levring. I'm a big fan of the Dogma films, and this one, kind
of a "Breakfast Club" meets "Survivor" meets "Waiting for Guffman," is a winner. It's a good yarn about a tourist group whose bus runs out of gas
in the middle of the Sahara, so they decide to put on a fun performance
of Shakespeare's "King Lear," and in between rehearsals, psychologically
destroy each other. Kind of a return to the dramatic style of "The
Celebration", or Fassbinder films like "Chinese Roulette" (or, for that
matter, the last episode of "Survivor") in which certain characters
finally get to say what they REALLY think of each other in no uncertain
(and hysterically scathing) terms, complemented by plenty of harrowing,
demented, and highly sexualized mind games. A great return to Dogma form
after last year's dopey, sloppy "julian donkey-boy."
Finally, we retired to the cool air of the park for a free last-evening
screening of Ang Lee's absolutely wonderful "Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon." If you're familiar with wonderful films like Tsui Hark's "Once
Upon a Time in China" series, you'll be stunned at how easily Lee slips
into the role of martial arts director, then bowled over at how he
raises the genre to new heights of lyrical beauty. Few cinematic
pleasures can compare with the sight of a flying Michelle Yeoh chasing
Ziyi Zhang over glowing moonlit rooftops, or Chow Yun Fat and Ms. Zhang battling gracefully above and amidst a lush green forest.

In his most trenchant attack on Rahul Gandhi since being named the BJPs prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi Friday tore into the recent claims and comments by the Congress vice-president - questioning his sympathy for victims of communal riots, his empathy for the poor and his strategy of playing up the contribution of his family.
The Gujarat Chief Minister also directly sought votes for himself, the first time he was doing so at a public rally since being named the partys PM candidate last month.
Addressing a well-attended BJP rally, Modi launched into Rahul by taking a dig at his recent attempts to strike an emotional chord with voters by recounting the assassination of his father and grandmother.
I have not come here to wail before you. I have not come here either to shed tears or tell stories to get you to shed tears. I am here to take you into confidence, to wipe your tears, Modi told the audience in Bundelkhand, the poorest region of Uttar Pradesh.
The underdevelopment of the region, he said, was due to a lack of political will in the governments in Delhi and Lucknow.
The Congress reminds about goodies and packages before elections, Modi said referring to Rahuls promise of a package for Bundelkhand around the time of the 2009 Lok Sabha polls. That package was not for your welfare but was crumbs to silence the then leaders from UP. It was shared between Delhi and Lucknow.
The time for packages is over. The time has come to send the SP-BSP-Congress packing, Modi said, dismissing Rahuls grandstanding in Bundelkhand for delivering on his promise of a package for the backward region.
Modi turned Rahuls attempt to strike an emotional chord by recounting the assassination of his grandmother Indira Gandhi over its head to rebuff the Congress vice-president for accusing the BJP of fanning communal riots in Gujarat in 2002 and in Muzaffarnagar last month.
Referring to the anti-Sikh riots in the aftermath of Indira Gandhis assassination in 1984, Modi said Rahuls utterances are unpardonable because they have added insult to the injury of Sikhs.
I heard him speaking about the anger over the assassination of his grandmother. All Congressmen felt angry and isnt it true that they burnt thousands of Sikhs? I want to ask shehzada whether he felt the same anger over the killing of thousands of Sikhs, Modi

Women's Tennis to Host Temple Wednesday in Dual Meet Opener
The Princeton women's tennis team will begin its dual-meet season Wednesday when it hosts Temple at 5 p.m. on the indoor courts in Jadwin Gymasium.
Princeton players participated in five fall events, highlighted by four flight titles at the USTA Invitational in New York and Amanda Muliawan's singles title at the USTA/ITA Regional tournament held at Army, gaining her a berth in the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships to close the fall.
A new ITA team ranking will be released on the day of the match, but Princeton is ranked No. 71 on the most recent list, released Jan. 22. Individually, Muliawan is at No. 52 in the nation on the singles chart and the team has three doubles pairs in the top 60, making Princeton one of only three schools, along with USC and UCLA, to have three ranked doubles pairs. Lindsay Graff is in two of those pairs, with Katherine Flanigan at No. 43 and Muliawan at No. 45, while Katie Goepel and Monica Chow are ranked 58th.
Temple will enter the match at 1-3 on the dual-meet season, having started two weekends ago with three matches hosted by Virginia Commonwealth and following it up most recently with a 6-1 loss to No. 46 Penn State.
Princeton leads the Owls 15-1 in the all-time series, with Temple's win coming in 1994. The teams have played annually since 2001, except for 2002 and 2011.
Following the Temple match, Princeton will head to Akron, Ohio for matches Saturday against Missouri and Sunday against host Akron.

Birthday Girl Giuliana Rancic Looks Better Than Ever
August 18, 2014 11:00 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
Giuliana Rancic is the ultimate example of 40 and fabulous. The Giuliana & Bill star recently celebrated a milestone birthday with her hubby, opting for a low-key affair instead of the standard celebrity bar outing.

She proved this the other day, when she posted several photos of her low-key birthday celebration.
Bill Rancic, always the loving husband, was intent on making Giuliana's 40th the best birthday yet. Based on his wife's smiling face, it looks like he succeeded. He shared a handful of pictures of the occasion on Instagram, along with the following message: "Happy B-Day mommy, hope you had a wonderful week of celebration!!" Giuliana responded by informing her hubby that there was "no place I'd rather be today. No one I would rather be with @billrancic."
Giuliana's "wonderful week of celebration" included a sunset boating trip, sightseeing in Idaho and even an "atypical selfie" to mark her last night of "a 3 before [her] age." The celebrity also managed to take a little time away from the festivities to complete the ice bucket challenge, proving that her commitment to philanthropy will remain just as fierce in her fabulous forties.

WASHINGTON--New applications for unemployment benefits rose last week but remained near eight-year lows.
Initial claims for unemployment benefits increased by 21,000 to a seasonally adjusted 311,000 in the week ended Aug. 9, the Labor Department said Thursday. That was more than the 295,000 new claims forecast by economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal and the highest level since June. Claims for the previous week were revised up slightly to 290,000.
Applications for unemployment benefits, a proxy for layoffs, have been trending lower this year. The four-week moving average of claims, which smooths out weekly volatility, increased by 2,000 to 295,750, but that was still well below the average level of claims last year. They are now hovering around levels last seen in 2006, at the height of the previous expansion.
"Despite this morning's rise in claims, the underlying downward trend remains firmly in place," said Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at Sterne Agee. "Businesses continue to reduce the number of layoffs."
Jobless claims had fallen by nearly 30,000 in the prior two months, a period during which the shifting timing of auto plant shutdowns and summer vacations can make data difficult to seasonally adjust. Several economists noted that claims data tend to be volatile this time of year.
"Today's increase is likely a bounce-back from unusually low readings in the last month, which may have occurred due to seasonal adjustment issues," RBS Securities economist Omair Sharif said.
Thursday's report showed that the number of people continuing to draw unemployment benefits rose by 25,000 to a seasonally adjusted 2,544,000 for the week ended Aug. 2. Those figures are reported with a one-week lag.
Other labor-market gauges have also been improving. July marked the first time since 1997 that employers have added 200,000 or more jobs for six consecutive months.
The nation's unemployment rate has fallen rapidly over the last year, though at 6.2% it remains at a historically high level for this point in a recovery.
Still, diminishing unemployment has fueled hope that anemic wage growth could finally start gaining some momentum. More people working and earning more money could provide a boost to consumer spending, which accounts for over two-thirds of U.S. economic output.
"My own expectation is that as the labor market begins to tighten, we will see wage growth pick up," Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said in June.

Rapha severs ties with Team Sky, cites "Market saturation"
November 5, 2015 § 24 Comments
Rapha announced today that it would end its partnership with Team Sky at the end of 2016. Cycling in the South Bay sat down with Chauncy Chalmers, CEO of Rapha, to talk about the divorce.
CitSB: What was it? Irreconcilable differences?
Chauncy: Oh, far from it. We've both benefited immensely from the partnership and are leaving on the best of terms. We plan to remain friends, and we wouldn't be where we are today without Team SKY.
CitSB: And where are you today?
Chauncy: We are the dominant player in the pretentious bicycle clothing market. $345 for a pink plastic vest. See? We OWN it.
CitSB: Yes, but there's more to your success than that, isn't there? Rapha is regarded as one of the best fitting, most superbly designed clothing manufacturers in the bike industry, combining the understated English qualities of Savile Row with the hardman exploits of volcano dopers. That's what they say over at Red Kite Prayer, anyway.
Chauncy: Don't believe everything you read; that guy was nominated for Wanker of the Year. Our stuff is made by the same underpaid Chinese garment workers as every other label. And get this–the average Chinese worker makes $19.81 per day, just under $2.50 an hour. Pretty sweet mark-up, I'd say.
CitSB: Schweet, for sho. So why the break-up with SKY? Seemed like a match made in heaven. Pretentious British label hawked by marginal gains volcano dopers with funny accents that sound vaguely aristocratic to the untrained American ear, which can't distinguish between the Queen's English, Ozzie Jibberjabber, and Pig Latin.
Chauncy: Yes, the American market is what we've always referred to as "gullible." And it certainly has paid the bills.
CitSB: So why the breakup? Faux English tailored cycling kits with a vaguely 70's design in updated 21st Century Pink; volcano dopers who talk funny and millions of tubby Americans who think Rapha's been around since Eddy Merckx.
Chauncy: The market is saturated.
CitSB: How can that be? There are ten new baby seals on the NPR every week, ripe for clubbing and for new Rapha kits and for 100% full carbon parts made of pure carbon. It's only just begun!
Chauncy: Our market research shows that with the exception of New York, Los Angeles, and parts of North County San Diego, the pretentious asshole demographic is saturated and shrinking.
CitSB: Impossible.
Chauncy: It's true. Most people who ride bicycles aren't snobby twits who crave approval by being treated rudely and looked down on. What's worse, most people who ride bicycles don't really care what their bicycle clothing looks like.
CitSB: Blasphemy! How do you know that?
Chauncy: We took our team of designers to the Tour of Palm Springs last year to examine the market first hand. Three of our designers are still in therapy. It gets worse. We randomly sampled riders, asking them if they liked Wiggins better than Froome. The answer blew our mind.
CitSB: What did they say?
Chauncy: They all said the same thing: "Who?"
CitSB: Shocking. And so you've pulled the plug. What's Team SKY going to be wearing for 2017 then?
Chauncy: It's a secret, but I'll tell you if you promise to keep it off the record.
CitSB: You can trust me.
Chauncy: They've hired one of your local guys here in LA to do their kits. Apparently one of the designs here has really caught their fancy.
CitSB: Which one is that?
Chauncy: Big Purple, or Orange, or something.
CitSB: Big Orange?
Chauncy: Yes, that's the one. You know them? They must have a pretty understated look to catch Team SKY's eye.
CitSB: Nope. Never heard of 'em.

Froome, mad after being sad, now happy
July 19, 2013 § 22 Comments
After his frightening brush with sadness on Monday's rest day, Tour de France leader Chris Froome became very mad on Tuesday. Froome, angry about challenger Alberto Contador's "dangerous" riding which forced him off his bike near the end of Tuesday's 16th stage to Gap, was still stewing about the incident six hours later when he posted a tweet expressing his irritation.
"Yesterday I was really sad about all the volcano doping allegations," said Froome. "But today I'm mad. Contador's dangerous riding was really dangerous. It was extremely dangerous, so much so that I could have gotten really badly hurt. That just makes me mad."
When it was pointed out that, generally speaking, two hundred cyclists crammed onto French roads no wider than a tampon while racing shoulder-to-shoulder downhill at speeds exceeding 100 kph was a fairly dangerous endeavor, Froome reacted angrily and with a lot of madness. "I have a right to be mad about this. I think Contador was taking too many risks and evidently he did go a little too fast, he couldn't even control his own speed and crashed. That put me in danger."
Spanish madly react to Froome's anger
Contador rejected Froome's concerns, appearing to be mad that Froome was mad at him. "He is, how you say in English, a big pussy? Is true, I made the crash in front of him going a little too much fast, no bueno. Now he's crying about peligroso? It's the bike racing. Que pussy."
Soon-to-be-Sir David Brailsford, babysitter of Team Sky and curator of the team's Hello Kitty collection, was also very mad, despite being sad only a day earlier. "This makes me mad. Chris could have lost the Tour. Do you know how mad he would have been then, not to mention getting very sad again? He has ridden an amazing race. The others should be giving up, not pushing the pace on the downhill and somehow trying to gain a time advantage which makes Chris awfully mad. We talked about this amongst ourselves, and the whole team was mad. Just really mad. Angry mad."
Teammate Richie Porte, who is hardly ever mad, was hopping mad. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more," said Porte in his thick Australian accent that sounded like a cross between English and a throat disease. "G'day mate, shrimps on the barbie and all that. Just because I'm a banana bender don't mean these bities 'n bludgers can act like a bounce on me mate, eh?"
Froome goes from mad to happy after Thursday's queen stage on l'Alpe d'Huez
Despite being sad, then mad, Froome found himself feeling happy after Team Sky released his power data to Dr. Professor Jacques Tati, the respected French physiologist and comic film director. According to Tati, "Froome's power profiles show what we would expect within the range of a human with a V02 max that is at the limit of what is possible for a human, although suspect for a gangly insect, which he may well be."
Froome was very happy to hear Tati's analysis. "I'm really happy to hear Dr. Tati's findings and his take on it, and basically to back us up and say that these performances are very good and strong, clean, sporting performances. I'm not mad anymore, and I forgive Alberto. I am happy now."
Dr. Tati pointed out that he had not concluded that the performances were clean. "I only said he was normal for someone who is completely abnormal. Whether he is clean or not, who knows?"
British cycling public slowly getting happy
As Froome's lock on the 2013 Tour looks unshakeable, the cynical, sad, mad, and fundamentally grumpy British public has slowly shown signs of being happy about Froome's happiness.
Nigel Rathbone, a waiter at the famed "Warm Beer and Fish" pub, was guardedly happy. "I s'pose I'm happy, yeh, if it means we beat the French at something. Yeh. Why not, eh?"
Cloretha Clammonger, a charwoman in the City's toney central district, was also potentially happy. "I reckon I could be 'appy, I could. I'd rather be grumpy, but you know Chris is just a South African, which isn't really English, right? Now if he was a right good Englishman, I s'pose I'd be 'appier than a whore at a cardinal's convention, I would."
Froome admits to "volcano doping," WADA launches investigation
July 17, 2013 § 24 Comments
Lost in the press reports of rest day haircuts and predictions for the remaining stages, it took almost twenty-four hours in the news cycle for the World Anti Doping Agency to act on Tour de France leader Chris Froome's shocking admission during a media interview.
When asked about the credibility of his ride up Mt. Ventoux, Froome said "My team-mates and I, we've slept on volcanoes to get ready for this."
WADA officers immediately charged Froome with a "non-analytical" positive, a scenario in which a rider can be accused of doping based on circumstantial evidence, written or spoken admissions, or convincing evidence other than standard urine or blood analyses.
Jean-Paul Smails, Chief Inquistor for WADA, laid out the charges. "He's admitted to volcano doping, which is a violation of Rule 2.281(a), Subsection 12, which states that 'No athlete may sleep on or otherwise utilize volcanoes to enhance performance.'"
Team Sky boss David Brailsford reacted angrily. "You're kidding me, right? There's no way he volcano doped. He misspoke. They slept on a mountain, perhaps, but no one knew it was a volcano. We thought it was a large mountain. We checked it out with the Mallorcan authorities and they assured us it was a mountain, not a volcano."
Froome also rejected the charge. "I'll wait for the B sample to come back. There's no way that was a real volcano, and if it was, it's because someone slipped it into my meat. It was tainted Mallorcan meat."
When pressed as to why he'd referred to it as a volcano if it really wasn't one, Froome shot back. "'Volcano' is slang for 'boner' in the UK, maybe you Yanks don't know that, eh? I was sleeping on my mate's boner, which is like a mini-volcano, get it? Stupid Yank reporters, go learn y'self some English."
The Mallorcan Meat Cooperative, a national meat marketing collective, angrily rejected Froome's claims that its meat was tainted. "We handle our meat carefully, regularly, religiously almost. When our meat leaves our hands it's guaranteed to be fresh, firm, and free from additives such as clenbuterol or volcano. Our legal counsel is looking into filing defamation charges against Mr. Froome for claiming that we mishandle our meat."
WADA investigation gathers steam
Officials for the French AFLD and WADA insisted that they would pursue the investigation, but the UCI remained skeptical. "We don't believe he volcano doped," said UCI chief Paddy McQuaid. "Although his team did buy us a new volcano testing machine to catch other lava cheats, that has had no influence on our posture in the matter. We don't treat the stars any differently from the routiniers."
Francois Vichy de Foiegras of the AFLD disagreed. "Ee eez vocano doping, n'cest pas? Why else he sleeping on ze volcano? Le Mt. Venoux est un volcano aussi, et we believe zat he gets un avantage avec zees volcano doping." Later that evening the Team Sky bus was searched by the forensic unit of the French National Anti Doping SWAT Team, but no magma was found, although investigators were seen carrying large plastic bags of rocks off the "Froome Wagon" along with what appeared to be most of the team's Hello Kitty collection.
Links to Italy?
Froome has worked with notorious volcano doping physician Michele Ferrari, although both deny that the connection involves volcanoes. "I use him for his training plans," said Froome. "He is a good man. He's taught me so much about how not to blow, but nothing that involved a volcano, I can assure you."
Ferrari also denied helping athletes such as Froome volcano dope. "I don't do such a thing, but if I did, so what? A bit of volcano is no more dangerous than a liter of orange juice. Except for when Pompeii was obliterated by Vesuvius or Krakatoa. But that is completely different."
At press time, Froome's team physician, Bugsy Malone, provided Tour de France officials with a prescription for volcano enemas, although it had apparently been backdated to precede Froome's mountaintop trip to Mallorca. "Chris had terrible saddle sores and a bloody anus. I prescribed the volcano cleanse for him in order to stop the drip and reduce the swelling."
Team Sky has scheduled a press conference for 6:00 AM tomorrow to explain its official position regarding these allegations.

|Cornhusker State Games Torch Run still looking for runners in this area
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Friday, 08 June 2012 17:07
By Jan Schultz
The Imperial Republican
There are still a few spots open in the Imperial and Enders areas for those wanting to run a leg of the Cornhusker State Games Torch Run.
Patterned after the Olympic Torch Run, the relay focuses the attention of the public on the July 20-29 Cornhusker State Games as it crosses the state.
The Torch will be coming into Imperial Monday, June 11, and after an overnight stay, will leave Imperial the morning of June 12 on its way through Wauneta and into McCook for the night.
Randy Hayes of Imperial coordinates a 20-mile stretch of runners in this area, starting north of Imperial at the Chase/Perkins County line to 10 miles east of Imperial.
Hayes said he still has a few miles to fill north of Imperial on Highway 61 Monday and another couple of miles east of Enders on Highway 6 Tuesday.
Interested runners who would like to fill a mile or two can contact Hayes at 308-882-4923 for specific mile markers and times.
Each runner is expected to take at least a mile. All runners who participate will receive a 2012 Torch Run T-shirt. Pat Hagedorn, statewide coordinator for the Torch Run, said last Friday he also has about nine miles to fill in a stretch between Hamlet and Palisade.
Anyone interested in helping fill those miles can contact Hagedorn directly at 402-471-2544.
The Torch Run started at the Wyoming border on Wednesday this week when the 2012 state championship Scottsbluff boys' basketball team ran the first miles.
The Torch Run will conclude June 29 in Lincoln.


text: June 16. 1939. Dear Bishop Tucker:- I want you to know how much I appreciated your coming to Hyde Park for the service last Sunday, and also how very happy Mrs. Roosevelt and I were to be able to have you and Mrs. Tucker with us. I think the service was perfect in every way, and the King and Queen were much interested in discovering that our service is substantially the same as the Church of England service. I think last Sunday will always be remembered by them as the only quiet family day of their entire trip. My best wishes to you and Mrs. Tucker Very sincerely yours, The Rt. Rev. Henry St. George Tucker, D.D., 221 Fourth Avenue, New York City, New York.

Research Interests
PDA is a nearly uniformly lethal disease that defies all forms of conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The same factors that conspire to obscure the diagnosis of the disease in patients until very advanced stages also hinder the study of its pathogenesis. Our laboratory has worked to develop animal models that faithfully mimic the clinical and histopathologic progression of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) from its earliest precursor lesions to invasive and metastatic disease. The murine models form the basis for our efforts to elucidate mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, to identify biomarkers associated with each stage of disease and, potentially, with disease response to specific therapies; and to develop and test strategies for chemoprevention and treatment. Our investigations have also helped identify unique genetic routes to PDA with distinct clinical and histopathologic features. Thus, the models should also provide more rigorous platforms for preclinical studies of disease-specific detection and treatment strategies that will be more predictive of efficacy in patients.

A freelance game artist and programmer has designed a video game which explores concerns over the excessive use of force by police.
Jason Rohrer writes in The Escapist that he was moved to create Police Brutality after viewing the famous Don't taze me, bro! incident in which a student was tasered by police while Sen. John Kerry gave a speech at the University of Florida.
Of his game design, Rohrer writes:
The video reminded me of how scary police can be… I'm not suggesting that the UF students should have physically attacked the police. …Perhaps they should have done some quick, ad hoc organizing. Perhaps they should have collectively stood up to the police in some kind of non-violent, legal way.
Even if the students could organize on the spot, I wasn't sure what the most effective strategy would be. I designed a game to explore the possibilities. Police Brutality is a game about fear, collective motivation, ad hoc organizing, self-sacrifice, and non-violence…

Seven weeks after we celebrate Passover, we mark the holiday of Shavuot – literally "weeks." In the Bible, Shavuot was primarily an agricultural holiday, marking the end of the grain harvest and the beginning of a new agricultural season during which first fruits were brought to the Temple in Jerusalem. Later, Shavuot came to be associated with the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai. On Passover, we were physically freed from slavery; on Shavuot, our freedom is given purpose – we are free in order to serve God according to the dictates of the Torah.More
Up All Night
Shavuot is my favorite holiday, in part because it combines several of my favorite things: ice cream, warm feelings of Jewish unity, a study party, and staying up all night. It is also my favorite...
Wisdom From On High
Shavuot has yet to capture the imagination of most liberal Jews. Why is that? The Torah describes three pilgrimage festivals, times when the ancient Israelites were expected to journey to Jerusalem...

GREENVILLE, N.C. - Courtney Captain made 4-of-4 free throws in the final 14 seconds to help end East Carolina's four-game losing streak and give the Pirates a 63-59 win over Marshall in a Conference USA game here Saturday night.
Corey Rouse led all scorers with 20 points and grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds to register his 14th double-double of the season and 25th of his career. Captain and Sam Hinnant each added 13 points in the victory.
The trio combined to go 14-for-14 at the line as Pirates set a school record for most free throws made in a game without a miss.
Joe Miles came off the bench to lead Marshall with 19 points, while Mark Patton also recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
ECU (8-16, 2-9) closed out the first half on a 14-0 run to take a 33-21 lead into the locker room. Rouse started the run with a lay up to tie the game before Tyronne Beale made consecutive jumpers to give ECU a four-point lead. Hinnant and Ingram capped the run by hitting back-to-back 3s.
Ingram, whose 3-pointer ended the first half, made another 3 to start the second half to give ECU its largest lead of the night, 36-21.
Marshall (10-14, 3-8) responded with a 20-4 run over the next eight minutes to take the lead, 41-40, on a 3-pointer by Mark Dorris with 11:44 showing on the clock. Tre Whitted then pushed the Herd's lead to four with another 3-pointer.
A follow dunk by Rouse tied the game at 46-46 before Hinnant's four-point play put ECU ahead to stay, 50-46, with 7:12 left.
Miles cut ECU's lead down to one, 59-58, with 46 seconds left, but Captain converted a pair of free throws to push the lead back to three.
The Pirates then sent Miles to the foul line with 1.7 seconds remaining. He made the first, but failed to draw iron on his second attempt and the Thundering Herd was forced to send Captain back to the line.

The CW Midseason Schedule: 'Hart of Dixie' to Friday, 'Tomorrow People' to Monday
The CW has announced its midseason schedule, and the network is looking to plug the weak spots in its schedule, from a ratings perspective. Of course, some of the choices don't make a whole lot of sense, particularly moving The Tomorrow People to Mondays, where it will air after the new series Star-Crossed. Normally, the strategy is to use a successful show as a lead-in for a newcomer, not to pair two new shows with one another and hope for the best.
Here's the midseason schedule, with CAPS indicating new series:
Monday, February 17
8:00 p.m. "STAR-CROSSED" (series premiere)
9:00 p.m. "Beauty and the Beast"
Monday, March 17
8:00 p.m. "STAR-CROSSED"
9:00 p.m. "The Tomorrow People" (new night)
Wednesday, March 19
8:00 p.m. "Arrow"
9:00 p.m. "THE 100? (series premiere)
Friday, March 21
8:00 p.m. "Whose Line is it Anyway?" (season premiere)
8:30 p.m. "Whose Line is it Anyway?"
9:00 p.m. "Hart of Dixie" (new night)
Via: USA Today / TV Media Insights
So yeah…about this schedule. This is profoundly troubling for Beasties, as The Tomorrow People will be replacing Beauty and the Beast in the Monday 9pm timeslot starting March 10, with any remaining, unaired new episodes of Beauty and the Beast airing over the summer (according to USA Today). In effect, the network is burning off the remaining episodes simply to get use out of the set of episodes they've already paid for. And that's a damn shame. (Seriously, I love that show)
It's also looking like it's curtains for The Carrie Diaries too. Well, unless these new shows fail. The 100, a post-apocalyptic adventure series, is expected to do well, although the jury is still out on Star-Crossed (which you can check out a trailer for below). I suppose we'll see come midseason.
So what do you think of the new midseason schedule? Sound off in the comments!

To the Library…and Beyond!
We may be a bit biased, but those of us at Merry Librarian think that Children's Librarians have the best jobs in the world. Kids are the most exciting demographic to work with: they're fun, adventuresome, and completely willing to get swept up in any story. Plus, they just say the darnedest things, don't they? Here's a sweet story from a Children's Librarian in Colorado Springs. Enjoy!
On a recent morning, I did a fun story time about outer space at one of our local library branches. The kids really enjoyed the stories, and afterwards they made "telescopes" out of paper-towel tubes covered with tinfoil and stickers. Later that evening, I went to my local Target store (on the other side of town) for a few things, and decided to stop in the snack shop for refreshment. As I stood in line for my cookies, a family came into the snack area and got in line just behind me. I heard their little girl, who was about three or four, say excitedly, "Look, mommy! It's the story lady!" I turned and she was jumping up and down, very excited. Her mom said, "Oh, hi, we saw you at the library up north near our house this morning. My daughter really loved your stories and the craft." As I thanked her, her little cutie looked up at me with an expression of awe and said, "Wow!! How did you ever come and find us WAY DOWN HERE???"
…Moral of the story: It's exhausting to be and do everything for every patron. But sometimes it's nice, just for a minute, to be somebody's superhero.

Tough Love from a Tough Dad
This week's Story of the Week is one of the rare stories that is genuinely heartwarming (though we're sure there are more out there!). As librarians–as with any public service profession–we so often see the sad and traumatic family interactions. It is refreshing to witness powerful and positive relationships like this one. Thank you, "Diane", for this great story!
I work at a small library in an area of town that tends to house the lower-economic demographic. It is not unusual for things to be stolen from our library on a regular basis–most frequently our DVDs. One day, I was at the reference desk when a man came in with a young, teenage boy. The man looked pretty haggard. He had tattoos everywhere (even a cross between his eyebrows! Ouch!) and lots of piercings. He looked like he'd had a pretty hard life. When he came up to the desk, he set a very tall pile of DVDs in front of me–at least 20 DVDs.
"I found these in my son's room," he said. "He didn't check them out. He stole them."
I didn't quite know how to respond, so I (rather stupidly) said, "Oh. Okay. So none of them are checked out?"
"No, ma'am," he answered. Then he knelt down on the ground so that he was eye to eye with me. His son knelt beside him, looking deeply humiliated and angry.
"Listen," the man said quietly. "I spent the first ten years of my boy's life in prison. I screwed up a lot when I was younger, and I'm not proud of the man I was." He put his arm around his son. "I want so much more for my boy than I had. I want him to be a man of integrity. So I brought him with me today because I wanted him to be accountable for what he'd done. Son, do you have anything to say?"
The boy looked at the floor and mumbled an apology at me.
I thought things would end there, but I was wrong. The dad continued talking.
"I am really proud of my son, ma'am. You need to know that. I love him so much more than anything in the world. He's a great kid. A really great kid. I just feel bad that I was such a bad example to him. He has made some decisions lately that reflect how much I failed him, and I regret that. But I love him. I want him to be a better man than me."
He then looked at his son, who had tears in his eyes, and said, "I love you, son. I love you."
Then, the boy who had looked so tough and stubborn when he'd walked in, put his head on his dad's shoulder and cried like a child. His dad held him, and wiped away a few of his own tears.
It was the most powerful thing I've ever seen. I, too, had teared up and had to fight to keep my voice steady as I thanked them both for their honesty. I told the boy that he was welcome to come back and get a library card when he was ready, and I returned all of the DVDs. They left, and I have never seen either of them again…but I will never forget them.

Not Sold
This fascinating 'what-might-have-been' was constructed by noted Stirlingshire motor engineer Denis Ramsay in the early 1980s. Some would say it is the sports two-seater Riley should have built after the war. Following a two-year build it was completed in 1983, its attractive aluminium body clothing an RM frame with a shortened wheelbase of 95 in and underslung rear suspension.
The upgraded Riley 2443cc engine was moved rearwards by 3 inches and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Cream coachwork compliments the well-trimmed red leather interior which could easily be mistaken for the work of the Riley factory, whilst the hood and side screens, finished in red PVC, stow neatly in the capacious boot.
Shortly after its completion the car was sold to a gentleman in Crewe from whom it passed to a coal merchant in Lincoln. Purchased by collector Karl Zachau in 1991, it remained in his ownership until 2000 when it was acquired by noted author and historian Karl Ludvigsen who has enjoyed it on numerous rallies and club events both in the UK and abroad.
A recent trip around the Suffolk lanes confirms how tight and rattle-free the Riley SP6 feels whilst the performance is extremely impressive. The unique mascot - a bunny with a floppy ear feeling the wind - is most apt when the throttle is depressed. Those hankering for a contemporary Healey would not be disappointed.
Featured in The Automobile in February 2011 amongst other publications, this most attractive Riley is offered with its creator's original build notes and specification sheets together with assorted invoices, Swansea V5 document and current MoT.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle does not have an MOT.

DETROIT (AP) -- Detroit police are asking for help in catching the driver of a pickup truck who struck and killed a boy as he took out the trash.
Police say the boy was 10 or 11 and was killed about 1:20 p.m. Sunday on a street near Eastland Shopping Center. They tell the Detroit Free Press that the man stopped about a block away to dislodge a garbage can stuck under his truck, then took off again.
Police say the driver is a white man about 40 years old. They tell WXYZ-TV that he was driving a red Dodge Ram from the early 2000s.
The boy's name wasn't immediately released.

I rely on "The Herald Weekly" as an in-depth, objective source of news for issues regarding the Lake Norman area. But when it comes to the Red Line commuter train, over the course of several articles it's become clear you have left objectivity at the station.
The most egregious example was last week's front-page article regarding the Iredell Commissioners' meeting ("County's Big Swing Won't Deter Rail Leaders," Jan. 19). Iredell County is on record as being skeptical of the Red Line, and last week held a meeting to voice those concerns. But as your headline implies, your article addressed not the concerns, but rather what proponents are doing to address them.
In fact, though the commissioners spoke eloquently and at length you failed to include a single quote from any of them. You found plenty of space, though, to quote NCDOT official Paul Morris (four times) and Lake Norman Transportation Commission Chair Bill Thunberg (twice). Both are major supporters of the Red Line. How can you report on an Iredell County Board meeting and not quote an Iredell County board member? That's the journalistic equivalent of covering a State of the Union address by quoting only the rebuttal speech.
The commissioners enumerated many legitimate concerns. (For instance, half of all Iredell property tax revenues currently pay for education. Under the current business plan, three quarters of property taxes will pay for the Red Line. How is that going to work?) Rather than seek answers you focused on Mr. Morris' cavalier dismissal: "it was evident they (the commissioners) did not benefit from a full presentation of the business plan." Well, Mr. Morris, I was at the full presentation of the business plan. It didn't answer the commissioners' questions. And The Herald missed an opportunity to follow up.
Similarly, though it was obvious the commissioners have undertaken extensive individual research, you failed to mention any of the numerous facts and figures they cited. Worse, you implied they were ignorant (echoing Mr. Morris' sentiment) by saying "Iredell had not spent any of its own resources to delve into all the details of the plan… and that was clear in some of their concerns." Because they didn't form a task force (and pack it with real estate developers) hardly means the commissioners are uninformed. Replay the audio. It's clear the commissioners know what they are talking about.
Finally, at the end of the evening the commissioners unanimously passed a three-sentence statement rejecting the current business plan. You mischaracterized this rejection, reporting they "are willing to listen to a new plan." If one reads the statement, "willingness to listen" is nowhere to be found. Quite the opposite; the board indicated it will reject any new plan until its concerns are addressed. (For the record, the statement reads: "The Iredell County Board of Commissioners does not support the current draft business/finance plan as presented to this board during our December meeting. We believe this draft plan, as written, will lead to higher taxes for all county taxpayers despite claims to the contrary. We will reject any future proposals that fail to address the concerns that were made public tonight.")
For an important issue like the Red Line we need objectivity, especially from a trusted source like The Herald. But when the objectivity train left the station, you were not on board. I hope you'll catch it at the next stop.

- " It is NOT POSSIBLE TO SLEEP at this hostel in any room. They have 2 types of rooms: one that faces the Cathedral, and one that has window to the skylight, which doesn't have access to fresh air. So, facing the Cathedral, you are awakened every hour by the bells, and you don't sleep until midnight anyway, because there is always some noisy event at the Zocalo square. The other rooms don't have any fresh air, so you can't breath. Terrible, when room is full. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOSTEL!!! "

- " The location can't be beat. Raul, the general manager, and the rest of the staff were all great guys. I met good people and had fun so I couldn't have asked for more. "

- " Enjoyed my time there. The hostel is in a great location and it was easy to get around. "
- 21 Oct 2015 Martha USA
- " The place is awesome, right in the middle of the most important landmarks. It is very safe to go around the place, and the hostel is very good. The hostel bar is quite expensive, but really worth to spend some time there. There were few things that didn't work: wifi, the card keys, and the staff is not very friendly. Specially at reception. if you can ignore that then it is the best place to stay in Mexico City. "
- 13 Sep 2015 Christhian Nicaragua
- " Great location very close to the main square transportation hub, awesome view of the National Palace and several skylines of this sprawling city from the rooftop bar/patio area. Social atmosphere makes planned and impromptu parties on the rooftop something to remember. Rooms and facilities are adequate. My only complaint which is a common one in these reviews is the spotty wifi which toggles between nonexistent to frustratingly slow. They need to improve this ASAP. "
- 27 Aug 2015 Robert USA
- " It was unfortunate that the bar while a good benefit is rowdy every night. My room was right below the bar so you could hear everything, so the 4 nights I spent there were just terrible sleep. Due to the bar, people always come down stairs drunk, and therefore disturb everyone there. On one night, one guest was screaming at the top of his lungs and staff were not exactly quick to shut him up. It is unlikely i will return to this hostel even though i felt it was decent. "
- 22 Jul 2015 Anonymous Mexico
- " TOO LOUD! Dont stay on the 5th floor even if you want a suite... bar is right above you and people are wayyyy too loud... elevator was broken the 4 days we were there, so since we were on the 5th floor gues what? We went up the stairs... multiple times a day, up 5 flights of stairs "
- 21 Jul 2015 Anonymous Mexico
- " I finally have working wifi!!! So I'm able to write this review!, it was frustrating trying to book my future travels with no wifi after this hostel stating they had good working internet before I booked. Please fix your wifi! "

Nebraska Lawmakers to Begin Floor Debate Monday
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska lawmakers will begin debating legislation for the 2014 session on Monday. Speaker of the Legislature Greg Adams says lawmakers will begin with bills that were approved in committees but carried over from last year's session without a final vote. Adams says he expects some proposals will generate major disagreements among the 49 senators, but he encouraged them to keep talking to one another and find agreement if possible. This year's session is expected to focus on taxes, state prison reform and a new proposal to expand Medicaid under the federal health care law. Adams says he also expects controversial "sleeper issues" that lawmakers have not yet anticipated.

Product Details
Producer: John Hébert
SummaryByzantine Monkey, bassist/composer John Hébert's long-awaited debut recording as a bandleader, documents his New York-based sextet of the same name featuring frequent collaborators Michaël Attias, Tony Malaby, Adam Kolker, Nasheet Waits and Satoshi Takeishi.
Hébert's original compositions for the group take their inspiration from a variety of sources, including his interest in Cajun music, his travels to different parts of the world and his gratitude and respect for his mentor, legendary pianist/composer Andrew Hill, with whom Hébert worked from 2001 until his death in 2007.
The musicians bringing that music to life in Byzantine Monkey have all worked extensively with Hébert in other ensembles, including Attias, Kolker and Malaby's own groups and Hill's trio and quintet. "Byzantine Monkey is me, and Byzantine Monkey is the band," writes Hébert in the liner notes. "All of our voices together, telling one story."
