Lord's Day
The Lord's Day in Christianity is generally Sunday, the principal day of communal worship. It is observed by most Christians as the weekly memorial of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is said in the canonical Gospels to have been witnessed alive from the dead early on the first day of the week. The phrase appears in Rev. 1:10.
According to some sources, Christians held corporate worship on Sunday in the 1st century.[1] The earliest Biblical example of Christians meeting together on a Sunday for the purpose of "breaking bread" and preaching is cited in the New Testament book The Acts of the Apostles chapter 20 and verse 7 (Acts 20:7). 2nd-century writers such as Justin Martyr attest to the widespread practice of Sunday worship (First Apology, chapter 67), and by 361 AD it had become a mandated weekly occurrence. During the Middle Ages, Sunday worship became associated with Sabbatarian (rest) practices. Some Protestants today (particularly those theologically descended from the Puritans) regard Sunday as Christian Sabbath, a practice known as first-day Sabbatarianism. (Some Christian groups hold that the term "Lord's Day" can only properly refer to seventh-day Sabbath or Saturday.)
Sunday was also known in patristic writings as the eighth day.

Biblical use
The phrase the "Lord's Day" appears only once in the Bible in Revelation 1:10 which was written near the end of the first century. It is the English translation of the koine Greek kyriake hemera. The adjective kyriake ("Lord's") often elided its noun, as in the neuter kyriakon for "Lord's [assembly]", the predecessor of the word "church"; the noun was to be supplied by context.
In Rev. 1:10, the apostle John, used kyriake hemera ("I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day") in a way apparently familiar to his readers. Observers of first-day worship hold that this means he was worshiping on Sunday, resurrection day. Seventh-day Sabbatarians hold that since Jesus said he was "Lord of the Sabbath"[2] and that Isaiah called the Sabbath the "Lord's Holy Day"[3] then the Lord's Day is the Seventh-day Sabbath (i.e. Saturday). Both parties accordingly use this verse to lay claim to the name "Lord's Day" for their day of worship.
Textual tradition
Ambiguous references
The term "Lord's" appears in the The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles or Didache, a document dated between 70 and 120. Didache 14:1a is translated by Roberts as, "But every Lord's day gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving";[4] another translation begins, "On the Lord's own day". The first clause in Greek, "κατά κυριακήν δέ κυρίου", literally means "On the Lord's of the Lord",[5] a unique and unexplained double possessive, and translators supply the elided noun, e.g., "day" (ἡμέρα hemera), "commandment" (from the immediately prior verse 13:7), or "doctrine".[6][7] This is one of two early extrabiblical Christian uses of "κυριακήν" where it does not clearly refer to Sunday because textual readings have given rise to questions of proper translation. Breaking bread (daily or weekly) may refer to Christian fellowship, agape feasts, or Eucharist (cf. Ac. 2:42, 20:7). Didache 14 was apparently understood by the writers of the Didascalia and Apostolic Constitutions as a reference to Sunday worship.
Around 110 AD, St. Ignatius of Antioch used "Lord's" in a passage of his letter to the Magnesians. Ambiguity arises due to textual variants. The only extant Greek manuscript of the letter, the Codex Mediceo-Laurentianus, reads, "If, then, those who had walked in ancient practices attained unto newness of hope, no longer observing Sabbath, but living according to the Lord's life ..." (kata kyriaken zoen zontes). A medieval Latin translation indicates an alternate textual reading of kata kyriaken zontes, informing Roberts's translation, "no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord's [Day]".[8]
The expanded Pseudo-Ignatian version of Magnesians, from the middle of the third century, rewrites this passage to make "Lord's Day" a clear reference to Sunday, as Resurrection Day. Pseudo-Ignatius adds a repudiation of legalistic Sabbath as a Judaizing error: "Let us therefore no longer keep the Sabbath after the Jewish manner, and rejoice in days of idleness .... But let every one of you keep the Sabbath after a spiritual manner, rejoicing in meditation on the law, not in relaxation of the body, admiring the workmanship of God, and not eating things prepared the day before, nor using lukewarm drinks, and walking within a prescribed space, nor finding delight in dancing and plaudits which have no sense in them. And after the observance of the Sabbath, let every friend of Christ keep the Lord's Day as a festival, the resurrection-day, the queen and chief of all the days."[9] Other early church fathers similarly saw weekly observance of seventh-day Sabbath sometimes followed the next day by Lord's Day assembly.[10][11]
Undisputed references
The first undisputed reference to Lord's Day is in the apocryphal Gospel of Peter (verse 34,35 and 50[12]), probably written about the middle of the 2nd century or perhaps the first half of that century. The Gospel of Peter 35 and 50 use kyriake as the name for the first day of the week, the day of Jesus' resurrection. That the author referred to Lord's Day in an apocryphal gospel purportedly written by St. Peter indicates that the term kyriake was very widespread and had been in use for some time.
Around 170 AD, Dionysius, Bishop of Corinth, wrote to the Roman Church, "Today we have kept the Lord's holy day (kyriake hagia hemera), on which we have read your letter." In the latter half of the 2nd century, the apocryphal Acts of Peter identify Dies Domini (Latin for "Lord's Day") as "the next day after the Sabbath," i.e., Sunday. From the same period of time, the Acts of Paul present St. Paul praying "on the Sabbath as the Lord's Day (kyriake) drew near." The Lord's day is also referred to in the Acts of John as "on the seventh day, it being the Lord's day, he said to them: now it is time for me also to partake of food."[13]
Early church
In the first centuries, Sunday, being made a festival in honor of Christ's resurrection, received attention as a day of religious services and recreation, but seventh-day Sabbath rest (based on the Jewish Shabbat, because the earliest Christians were all Jews) was still observed by "almost all churches".[10][11] Often first-day worship (Sunday morning or Saturday night) was practiced alongside observance of seventh-day Sabbath rest[15] and was a widespread Christian tradition by the 2nd century, attested in patristic writings of the 2nd century;[16][17] over time, Sunday thus came to be known as Lord's Day. These early Christians believed that the resurrection and ascension of Christ signals the renewal of creation, making the day on which God accomplished it a day analogous to the first day of creation when God made the light. Some of these writers referred to Sunday as the "eighth day".
The 1st-century[18] or 2nd-century[6] Epistle of Barnabas or Pseudo-Barnabas on Is. 1:13 stated "Sabbaths of the present age" were abolished in favor of one millennial seventh-day Sabbath that ushers in the "eighth day" and commencement of a new world. Accordingly, the eighth-day assembly (Saturday night or Sunday morning) marks both the resurrection and the new creation. Thus first-day observance was a common regional practice at that time.[19]
By the mid-2nd century, Justin Martyr wrote in his apologies about the cessation of Sabbath observance and the celebration of the first (or eighth) day of the week (not as a day of rest, but as a day for gathering to worship): "We all gather on the day of the sun" (τῇ τοῦ ῾Ηλίου λεγομένη ἡμέρᾳ, recalling both the creation of light and the resurrection).[20] He argued that Sabbath was not kept before Moses, and was only instituted as a sign to Israel and a temporary measure because of Israel's sinfulness,[21] no longer needed after Christ came without sin.[22] Curiously he also draws a parallel between the Israelite practice of circumcision on the eighth day, and the resurrection of Jesus on the "eighth day".[23]
But the Gentiles, who have believed on Him, and have repented of the sins which they have committed, they shall receive the inheritance along with the patriarchs and the prophets, and the just men who are descended from Jacob, even although they neither keep the Sabbath, nor are circumcised, nor observe the feasts.[24]
And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits; then, when the reader has ceased, the president verbally instructs, and exhorts to the imitation of these good things. Then we all rise together and pray, and, as we before said, when our prayer is ended, bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings, according to his ability, and the people assent, saying Amen; and there is a distribution to each, and a participation of that over which thanks have been given, and to those who are absent a portion is sent by the deacons. And they who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need. But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Saviour on the same day rose from the dead.[20]
Tertullian (early 3rd century), writing against Christians who participated in pagan festivals (Saturnalia and New-year), defended the Christian festivity of Lord's Day amidst the accusation of sun-worship, acknowledging that "to [us] Sabbaths are strange" and unobserved.[25][26]
Cyprian, a 3rd-century church father, linked the "eighth day" with the term "Lord's Day" in a letter concerning baptism.
'For in respect of the observance of the eighth day of the Jewish circumcision of the flesh, a sacrament was given beforehand in shadow and in usage; but when Christ came, it was fulfilled in truth. For because the eighth day, that is, the first day after the Sabbath, was to be that on which the Lord should rise again, and should quicken us, and give us circumcision of the spirit, the eighth day, that is the first day after the Sabbath, and the Lord's Day, went before in the figure; which figure ceased when by and by the truth came and spiritual circumcision was given to us— Cyprian, Letter LVIII
Origins of Sunday worship
Though Sunday was widely observed as a day of Christian worship by the 2nd century, the origin of Sunday worship remains a debated point, with at least three scholarly positions being taken.
- Bauckham has argued that Sunday worship must have originated in Palestine in the mid-1st century, in the period of the Acts of the Apostles, no later than the Gentile mission, regarding the practice as universal by the early 2nd century with no hint of controversy (unlike e.g. the related Quartodeciman controversy).[15] In the 2nd century the church of Rome lacked jurisdictional authority to impose a novel universal change of Sabbath rest from the seventh day to the first, or to obtain universal Sunday worship had it been introduced after the Christian church had spread throughout the known world.[16] Bauckham states that there is no record of any early Christian group which did not observe Sunday, with the exception of a single extreme group of Ebionites mentioned by Eusebius of Caesarea; and that there is no evidence Sunday was observed as substitute Sabbath worship in the early centuries.[15]
- Some Protestant scholars have argued that Christian Sunday worship traces back even further, to the resurrection appearances of Jesus recorded in the Gospel narratives where Jesus would appear to his disciples on the first day of the week.[27][28]
- Seventh-day Adventist scholar Samuele Bacchiocchi has argued that Sunday worship unconnected to Sabbath was introduced in Rome in the 2nd century, and was later enforced throughout the Christian church as a substitution for Sabbath worship.[29] There is evidence of early Christians simultaneously observing both seventh-day Sabbath rest and Sunday worship,[15] and Socrates Scholasticus states that 4th-century Rome had ceased to worship on Sabbath, while Alexandria held its love feasts or Eucharists on the first day, substituting it for Sabbath as kept in other churches.
Edict of Constantine
On 3 March 321, Constantine I decreed that Sunday (dies Solis) will be observed as the Roman day of rest [CJ3.12.2]:
On the venerable day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country however persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits because it often happens that another day is not suitable for grain-sowing or vine planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost.[30]
Constantine's decree was most likely modeled on pagan sun worship, though it is probable that he also intended to benefit the church, which already met for worship on Sunday.[15] Some[who?] theorize that, because the practice favored the Christian day of worship, it also helped the church to avoid implicit association with the Jews. Eusebius, in Life of Constantine, claims Constantine stated: "Let us then have nothing in common with the detestable Jewish crowd; for we have received from our Saviour a different way."[31]
In the 4th century, Socrates Scholasticus stated that the Christians of Alexandria and Rome partook of the "mysteries" (the love feast or Eucharist) on the first day of the week (Saturday evening), though they also held worship meetings on Sabbath like almost all other churches.[10] By the 5th century, Sozomen stated that most churches, such as at Constantinople, met both on Sabbath and first day (Saturday evening), but that Rome and Alexandria met only on the first day (Saturday evening) and no longer on Sabbath.[11]
Middle Ages
Augustine of Hippo followed the early patristic writers in spiritualizing the meaning of the Sabbath commandment, referring it to eschatological rest rather than observance of a literal day. However, the practice of Sunday rest increased in prominence throughout the early Middle Ages. Thomas Aquinas taught that the decalogue is an expression of natural law which binds all men, and therefore the Sabbath commandment is a moral requirement along with the other nine. Thus Sunday rest and Sabbath became increasingly associated.[32]
Following Aquinas' decree, Christian Europeans could now spend less time denouncing the Judaistic method of observing the Sabbath, instead establishing rules for what one "should" and "should not" do on the Sabbath. For example, while the Medieval Church forbade most forms of work on the Sabbath, it allowed "necessary works", and priests would allow their peasants to perform the needed agricultural work in the field.[33]
Modern church
The reformers Martin Luther and John Calvin repudiated the idea that Christians are bound to obey the Mosaic law, including the fourth commandment of the decalogue concerning Sabbath, although they followed Aquinas' concept of natural law. They viewed Sunday rest as a civic institution established by human authority, which provided an occasion for bodily rest and public worship.[34]
Nevertheless, Sunday Sabbatarianism became prevalent amongst both the continental and English Protestants over the following century. A new rigorism was brought into the observance of Lord's Day among the 17th-century Puritans of England and Scotland, in reaction to the laxity with which Sunday observance was customarily kept. Sabbath ordinances were appealed to, with the idea that only the word of God can bind men's consciences in whether or how they will take a break from work, or to impose an obligation to meet at a particular time. Their influential reasoning spread to other denominations also, and it is primarily through their influence that "Sabbath" has become the colloquial equivalent of "Lord's Day" or "Sunday". The most mature expression of this influence survives in the Westminster Confession of Faith (1646), Chapter 21, "Of Religious Worship, and the Sabbath Day". Section 7-8 reads:
7. As it is the law of nature, that, in general, a due proportion of time be set apart for the worship of God; so, in his Word, by a positive, moral, and perpetual commandment binding all men in all ages, he hath particularly appointed one day in seven, for a Sabbath, to be kept holy unto him: which, from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, was the last day of the week; and, from the resurrection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the week, which, in Scripture, is called the Lord's day, and is to be continued to the end of the world, as the Christian Sabbath.
8. This Sabbath is then kept holy unto the Lord, when men, after a due preparing of their hearts, and ordering of their common affairs beforehand, do not only observe a holy rest, all the day, from their own works, words, and thoughts about their worldly employments and recreations, but also are taken up, the whole time, in the public and private exercises of his worship, and in the duties of necessity and mercy.
Though Sabbatarian practice declined in the 18th century, the evangelical awakening in the 19th century led to a greater concern for strict Sunday observance. The founding of the Lord's Day Observance Society in 1831 was influenced by the teaching of Daniel Wilson.[34]
Jehovah's Witnesses
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Lord's day begun in 1914, that was the year marked by 1st world war and has direct connection with the prophecy in Revelation (Rev 12:7). The prophecy is about the war in heaven and the ouster of Devil from heaven. Lord's day is not a single day consisting of 24 hours, but a period of time that started in 1914 which will last for sometime that includes Christ's Thousand year reign.
Roman Catholicism
The Second Vatican Council, in the Apostolic Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium, asserted that "the Lord's day is the original feast day" and the "foundation and kernel of the whole liturgical year."[35] The apostolic letter of Pope John Paul II entitled Dies Domini charged Catholics to remember the importance of keeping Sunday holy and not to confuse the holiness of the Lord's Day celebration with the common notion of the weekend as a time of simple rest and relaxation.[36]
Eastern Christianity
The Eastern Orthodox Church distinguishes between "Sabbath" (Saturday) and "Lord's Day" (Sunday), and both continue to play a special role for the faithful. Many parishes and monasteries will serve the Divine Liturgy on both Saturday morning and Sunday morning. The church never allows strict fasting on any Saturday (except Holy Saturday) or Sunday, and the fasting rules on those Saturdays and Sundays which fall during one of the fasting seasons (such as Great Lent, Apostles' Fast, etc.) are always relaxed to some degree. During Great Lent, when the celebration of the Liturgy is forbidden on weekdays, there is always Liturgy on Saturday as well as Sunday. The church also has a special cycle of Bible readings (Epistle and Gospel) for Saturdays and Sundays which is different from the cycle of readings allotted to weekdays. However, Lord's Day, being a celebration of the Resurrection, is clearly given more emphasis. For instance, in the Russian Orthodox Church Sunday is always observed with an All-Night Vigil on Saturday night, and in all of the Orthodox Churches it is amplified with special hymns which are chanted only on Sunday. If a feast day falls on a Sunday it is always combined with the hymns for Sunday (unless it is a Great Feast of the Lord). Saturday is celebrated as a sort of leave-taking for the previous Sunday, on which several of the hymns from the previous Sunday are repeated.
In part, the reason Orthodox Christians continue to celebrate Saturday as Sabbath is because of its role in the history of salvation: it was on a Saturday that Jesus "rested" in the tomb after his work on the cross. For this reason also, Saturday is a day for general commemoration of the departed, and special requiem hymns are often chanted on this day.
The Ethiopian Orthodox church (part of the Oriental Orthodox communion, having about 40 million members) observes both Saturday and Sunday as holy, but places extra emphasis on Sunday.

Editor-turned-director Robert Parrish's debut film Cry Danger (1951) is a taut, entertaining late-career starring vehicle for Richard Powell. As the wrongfully imprisoned, recently freed Rocky Mulloy, Powell's character attempts to find the real criminals behind the robbery that stole five years of his life...and, of course, the $100,000 he allegedly took in the first place. Mulloy's also looking to clear the name of Danny Morgan, currently imprisoned for the same crimes; Morgan's wife Nancy (Rhonda Fleming), on the other hand, seems more interested in pursuing Mulloy than reuniting with her husband. Meanwhile, ex-Marine Delong (Richard Erdman), whose testimony freed Mulloy, helps our hero dig up plenty of dirt while cozying up to Darlene (Jean Porter), a pretty pickpocket who happens to live near their temporary hideout.
It may sound a little convoluted, of course, but Cry Danger never feels bloated, gimmicky or hard to follow, and this is coming from someone with very little foreknowledge of classic film noir. Characters and their relationships are introduced smartly, exposition is provided without feeling too obvious and, more often than not, the twists and turns come at exactly the right time to keep first-time viewers right on their toes. Performances are uniformly excellent, dialogue is (not surprisingly) brief and to the point, while the no-nonsense editing by Oscar nominee Bernard W. Burton keeps things moving along quite nicely during the film's brisk 79 minute lifespan. Upon learning that Cry Danger was shot in just over three weeks, the film's compact and efficient atmosphere feels all the more natural. Yet it's a sizable amount of wisecracking humor (bolstered by the efforts of dialogue director Rod Amateau, not to mention the story/screenplay by Jerome Cady and William Bowers, respectively) that shapes Cry Danger's most lasting, memorable moments.
Having never received a domestic release on DVD (or VHS, as far as I know), Olive Films' dual Blu-ray and DVD releases should be well-received by genre enthusiasts. Recently restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive (funded by the Film Noir Foundation), Cry Danger looks and sounds quite impressive on home video; in all probability, even better than its 1951 theatrical release prints. Licensed from Paramount, Olive's single-layered disc sadly includes no bonus features or even optional subtitles/captions...but the film's the main thing, and this is most certainly not one to pass up.
Presented in its original 1.33:1 aspect ratio, this 1080p transfer of Cry Danger (restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive) looks quite impressive after a rough start during the opening moments. Black levels, shadow detail and textures are very strong, though several of the nighttime sequences (including the opening) suffer from a moderate amount of dirt and debris. A healthy layer of film grain is also present, while no major digital imperfections---including excessive DNR, contrast boosting and/or edge enhancement---could be spotted along the way. It's not quite a flawless transfer from start to finish...but it's certainly better than expected, so die-hard film noir fans will undoubtedly be thrilled.
The audio comes through cleanly in DTS-HD 1.0 Master Audio, preserving the film's original mono mix and faithfully reproducing the dialogue and music cues. There's little depth and this is undoubtedly a "thin" presentation from start to finish, but considering the film's age and budget it's completely understandable. In other words, lifelong fans and newcomers alike won't find much to complain about with this lossless audio mix. For me, the only glaring problem here was a lack of optional English subtitles and/or Closed Captions, although that's pretty standard for Olive releases.
You don't have to be a rabid disciple of film noir to enjoy Cry Danger, but it helps a little. Still, this is an entertaining, well-acted and accessible little production that's aged quite well during that last 60+ years, thanks in part to its low profile and a terrific A/V presentation on Olive Films' new Blu-ray, licensed from Paramount. The lack of bonus features (and, to a lesser extent, subtitles or captions) is surely a handicap, at least enough to discourage plenty of blind buys. Firmly Recommended for those with more than a passing interest in the genre, but slightly less so for newcomers.

Adapted from a novel by pulp writer Jim Thompson, After Dark, My Sweet evokes memories of the film noirs of yore. Jason Patric plays Collie, a short-fused ex-boxer who gets mixed up with alcoholic widow Fay (Rachel Ward) and burned-out former lawman Uncle Bud (Bruce Dern). These two lowlifes involve Collie in a kidnapping scheme. At first willing to go along with the plan, Collie tires of Fay's drunken mood swings and seeks out new companionship. Doctor George Dickinson proves all too eager to be friends with Collie -- more than friends, in fact. Driven back into Fay's arms, Collie agrees to aid in the kidnapping. But when the victim turns out to be diabetic, things go from bad to worse. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

How Do You Describe So Much Awesome? Cisco at VMworld 2012
Each time so many technologists gather in one place, there's an embarrassment of riches: technology, demos, know-how. So many people to meet, so much going on, how does one cut through the noise and let everyone know? This year's VMworld 2012 in San Francisco's Moscone Center is shaping up to be just such an event.
Last year, we took you on a day to day journey with a series of videos. But 2012 is the year of the infographic! And what do engineers like more than free event t-shirts? Whiteboards!
@ciscoDC is a proud sponsor of #vBrownBag this year. Known for their work in the virtualization space, a guide to all things training, we've included some great information on their USB key of awesome. The #vBrownBag crew will be out in force, and they're easily identified. Remember, it's all about the visuals. Visit the ProfessionalVMware.com blog for complete details on the happenings with their crew. Great information, check it out.
Now we've covered sessions, social media activities, and sponsorships, what else? How about content? So many demos, so much to absorb. What better way than an infographic? Back to the drawing board, the literal drawing board, with tech cartoonist @gapingvoid — what does he have to say about it?
Try making a QR code for the booth out of that! In the end, the only way to describe it, is to come to Cisco Booth 1213 and experience it for yourself. Take the #UCSChallenge, talk to the Cisco experts, experience the learning in the hands-on labs.
Whether you're there IRL or enjoying the show from the comforts of wifi, follow @ciscoDC and #ciscovmw for livetweeting from key sessions, updates from roving reporters Josh Atwell and Scott Hanson, and whiteboard showdowns from industry leaders as part of Engineers Unplugged (like MTV Unplugged, but with whiteboards and tech rock stars). Like the CiscoDC Facebook page for insider pictures, caption challenges, and more.
Your turn. How do you approach VMworld? Share a link to your blog, whiteboard pic, or video. Tweet @ciscoDC with #ciscovmw as the tag.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

A foolish proposal
Marion County Commission on Monday discussed doing something that they should find out pretty quickly is illegal. Commissioner Dan Holub proposed publishing only summaries of ordinances in the county's official newspaper for legal publications — the Marion County Record — and posting full text on the county website, which would theoretically save the county money.
But in Kansas, only cities have the authority to publish ordinance summaries, and they can only do so under specific circumstances. Even then, it isn't a particularly good idea, as the City of Marion may find out if anyone challenges the zoning regulations revised in June.
The city published a summary in the newspaper, referring readers to the city's website for the full text of the ordinance. But in Section 27-5, the ordinance itself says it doesn't go into effect until the ordinance — not a summary — is published once in the official city newspaper. In an effort to either save money or perhaps stick it to an independent news source with the audacity to question the city's actions, the city created a loophole so large even a train could go through it at 49 mph.
The legal notice that Holub singled out as an expense — the delinquent tax list — isn't even under the purview of the commission. The delinquent tax list is the sole responsibility of the county treasurer.
In any event, publication of the delinquent tax list doesn't cost the county — people named on the list are also assessed a fee to cover the cost of publication. And the threat of being named as a tax deadbeat is one of the best ways to get people to actually pay their taxes. Every year, this newspaper receives several calls from people who say they got their back taxes paid after the first publication — how many more pay their back taxes without calling the paper? The county doesn't spend money to publish delinquent tax lists; it makes money.
According to the Pew Research Center, the following groups do not have Internet access:
- 62 percent of people 65 or older.
- 61 percent of people with less than high school education.
- 40 percent of people with household incomes less than $30,000 per year.
That adds up to a substantial portion of Marion County taxpayers, people who would never have access to public notices explaining how their money is spent if Holub succeeds in hiding them on some website he controls. It would be a direct assault on seniors, the less educated, and the less affluent.
The advantage of publishing public notices where the public is already looking is that it maximizes the number of citizens who are able to see them. Putting them online means only those who know to look — and have the technical skills to find them — will ever see what the county is up to. And allowing government to control websites that house public notices makes it possible for government to change them at any time with no tracking and no proof that everyone visiting the site sees the same things the same way.
Holub is trying to score cheap political points, suggesting that paying a critic of the county's mistakes to publish legal notices is a waste of taxpayer money. But the upshot is that Holub — the first person to point out any Democrat's political affiliation — wants us to trust that Big Government knows best.

Sure, there's been plenty of malarkey about the Blue Jays' top farm team setting up shop in Ottawa. Meanwhile, back here on planet Earth, the team has re-upped with their minor-league affiliate in New Hampshire for four years, and signed two-year agreements in Auburn (the Doubledays of the Single-A NY-Penn League) and Lansing (the Lugnuts of the Single-A Midwest League).
We know SFA about Lansing aside from the fact that Magic Johnson was born there, and that it's home to Michigan State University, but the ballpark looks like a great place to spend a summer night. We were going to suggest a road trip to the see the Jays of the Future this year, but Lansing's just about 100 miles further into Michigan than we would dare venture.
We're way too soft and would be too much of an easy target to last more than 15 minutes west of Flint.

Lansing Roadtrip!!! Go Nuts!
3 comments:

I hate having to live in the real world and acknowledge the fact that the there will never be a Jays affiliate in Ottawa... Curse you reality!
It doesn't help that I go by Lynx Stadium roughly four times a day on the transitway.
Screw reality. They're there in my head. Is that healthy?

I may need radiation to my breast area. Can I still have implants?
Last Reviewed: May 8, 2009
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I may need radiation to my breast area. Can I still have implants?
Rachel McKenna, MSN, CRNP, Nurse Practitioner in the Division of Plastic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, responds:
Radiation and the impact on implants is something that needs to be discussed carefully with your surgeon. It is true that women who have implants and radiation can be at higher risk for multiple complications, such as capsular contracture. However, the timing of the radiation and implant, as well as the type of implant, can be adjusted to help minimize this risk.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering taking action against Nasdaq's performance during the much anticipated Facebook IPO last month by forcing the exchange to upgrade its trading systems.
The IPO was riddled with technical problems, which led to a delay of 30 minutes on share trades being processed. The problem stemmed from Nasdaq's IPO Cross, a pre-IPO auction process that the exchange put in place in 2006 that allows traders to place orders and agree on an IPO price before the stock is officially launched, which couldn't handle the trading demand.
This led to a number of brokerages suffering financial losses after losing out on half an hour of trading and not receiving up-to-date information, including UBS, which is said to have suffered losses of as much as $350 million (£225 million).
Nasdaq has already selected IBM to conduct a review of the current state of processes for designing, developing, testing, deploying and operating market systems. However, according to reports in the Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter, the SEC may now order Nasdaq to revamp its processes for developing, changing, testing and implementing the computer code used in IPOs and other exchange functions.
This is the latest development in an on-going saga since the problems occurred on 18th May, which has also seen Nasdaq confirm that it will earmark $40 million in compensation, most of which will be made up of reduced trading costs for brokerages.
However, this was not well received by operating rival New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which released a statement claiming that if the SEC was to approve Nasdaq's plans this would result in unfair practice and equates to the industry subsidising the exchange's mistakes.
"We believe it would be wholly inconsistent with fair practice and an undue burden on competition to allow Nasdaq to use pricing and other machination as a guise for fairly compensating those impacted by the Facebook IPO issues," said NYSE.

Former White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove was heckled and branded a 'war criminal' at a book signing in Beverly Hills, California, Monday night.
Rove, who served as senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to former President George W. Bush, was at the Saban Theater to discuss his new book, "Courage and Consequences: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight," to an audience of about 100 people who paid up to $40 to hear him.
But the audience members were unable to get their copies of the book signed after Rove was shouted down and forced to leave the stage, reported CNN affiliate KCAL-TV.
The event was heated from the onset as several anti-war protesters interrupted Rove's talk to accuse him and his administration of lying to Americans about the threat Iraq posed to the United States - and thus, taking the country into war.
Rove called one heckler a "lunatic." He told another to "get the heck out here."
At one point, Jodie Evans, the co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink, rushed toward Rove waving a pair of handcuffs - saying she was there to make a citizen's arrest.
"Look what you did ... you lied to take us to war. You ruined a country. You totally ruined a country," she shouted.
As organizers tried to keep Evans at bay, another woman stood up and yelled, "The only comfort I take is that you're going to rot in hell."
Rove, who defended his administration's stance on several controversial issues in heated exchanges with other critics, said the interruptions reflected the "totalitarianism of the left."

Take Two: Cod vs. Tilapia
Find out which of these fish fillets wins the nutrition showdown.
Eating fish as an entrée two to three times a week is a great way to keep calories in check with a lean protein source, as well as an opportunity to boost your heart health. You may have heard that cold saltwater fish, like cod, are top sources of omega-3 fatty acids, the polyunsaturated fats that help raise "good" HDL cholesterol levels. But because fresh-water tilapia contains more total fat than cod, it has nearly as many omega-3s. What's more, a serving of tilapia is a good source of potassium, containing about 10 percent of the recommended daily intake. Another reason to consider tilapia: Unlike Atlantic cod, which has been over-fished in recent years, most tilapia sold in the United States is farmed and is a more easily renewable resource.
Cod Fillet (4 ounces cooked)
119 calories
1 gram fat (0.2 gram saturated)
179 milligrams omega-3

Tilapia Fillet (4 ounces cooked)

5Brandon Granville
Stewart, Reinhardt Lead USC Over Lafayette 100-64
Elijah Stewart and Katin Reinhardt each score over 20 points to lead USC to its sixth straight win
THIS SEASON: Brandon Granville, a 5-foot-9, 175-pound senior, is USC's all-time leader in assists (10th in Pac-10 history) and is set to start at point guard for the Trojans for his fourth season in 2002. One of the most effective playmakers in Pac-10 history, Granville is also one of USC's all-time three-point threats and one of two 1,000-point scorers on the team.
CAREER: Granville is set to become USC's first four-year starting point guard since Jacque Hill (1980-83). He has started 89 of his 92 games at USC. He is first on USC's career chart in assists (595, 10th in the Pac-10), third in three-pointers (162), fourth in steals (175) and 12th in free throw percentage (.785). He has 1,030 career points, 23rd most ever at USC. He was the 24th player in school history to eclipse 1,000 points. He is one of only four Trojans ever to have at least 150 career three-pointers.
SAID BIBBY: "Brandon Granville has improved each year and really has become a leader for us. I expect him to continue to improve and bring up his level of intensity. I'd like to see him be a little more aggressive offensively and be a little more creative this year."
2000-2001: Granville, in his third season as the Trojans' starting point guard in 2001, led the Pac-10 in assists (6.1) for the second consecutive year and finished as USC fourth-leading scorer (12.4) ... He became the school's all-time leader in assists in the third game of the year with nine against Loyola Marymount ... Granville's 207 assists were the second-most ever in a season at USC, behind only his school season record of 248 set as a sophomore... His NCAA Tournament highlights included 14 points, four steals and five assists against Oklahoma State and nine points and six assists versus Boston College. He also had eight assists vs. Kentucky and seven against Duke ... Granville's 64 three-pointers on the season were the seventh-most in school history ... He scored a season-high 22 points at Arizona State, going 4-of-6 on three-pointers and making 8-of-8 from the foul line ... He matched the effort vs. Cal, scoring 22 points, making four three-pointers and going 6-of-6 from the charity stripe ... He had 21 points and a season-high five steals against Long Beach State and had 20 points at Washington ... Granville scored 17 points vs. Pepperdine and posted career highs of free throw makes (10) and attempts (14) .... The game before, he canned 5-of-9 three-point attempts at UCSB, tying a career-high for makes en route to 18 points ... He scored 19 points (including four three-pointers) vs. Loyola Marymount and had 15 points vs. both CSUN and BYU-Hawaii.
1999-2000: Granville dished out more assists than any USC guard in school history (and the third most ever in the Pac-10) as a 2000 sophomore when he had 248 en route to 2000 All-Pac-10 honorable mention honors ... He led the Pac-10 in assists (8.3, fourth nationally), was fourth in steals (2.1) and 10th in free throw percentage (.786) ... He finished with a team-best nine double-doubles and 13 double-digit assist efforts ... Granville set a USC single-game record with 15 assists against Memphis in the Maui Invitational (tied for sixth-best in Pac-10 history) ... He strung consecutive double-digit assists efforts of four in a row once and three in a row twice ... He also made a team-best 57 three-pointers ... He scored at least 20 points seven times, including a career-high 24 points (including five three-pointers) at San Diego State and two 22-point performances against Arizona State ... His 62 steals tied him for the second-most ever in a season at USC ... Granville, who played every minute of six games, including two 45-minute contests, averaged 38.1 minutes per game in the Pac-10. It was the most by a Trojan in the conference since Wayne Carlander averaged 40.0 in 1985.
1998-99: A full-time starter at point guard as a true freshman, Brandon Granville earned Pac-10 All-Freshman honorable mention honors in 1999 ... He led USC in assists (5.0) and steals (1.9) and was third and fifth, respectively, in the conference in those categories ... His 140 assists on the season were the eighth-most ever at USC and his 41 three-pointers were third highest on the squad ... He made 5-of-9 three pointers en route to a season-high 22 points at UC Santa Barbara, adding eight assists and three steals ... He was instrumental in USC's upset at then-No. 6 Stanford, scoring 21 points, including 5-of-10 from behind the arc, to go with seven assists ... He had at least two steals 13 times and at least seven assists 11 times ... He had six steals four times (San Diego State, Long Beach State, Loyola Marymount and at Arizona State) ... He had a then-career-high nine assists and four steals against Oregon State at home and had nine assists and six steals at Arizona State ...

Granville's honors include USA Today All-USA honorable mention, Los Angeles Times South Bay/Westside All-Star Team, South Bay Daily Breeze All-Area first team (for the second consecutive season), Cal-Hi Sports All-State third team and All-City 4-A first team ... During the Comets' postseason run to every championship they competed for, Granville made two free throws in the final seconds to defeat Artesia High of Lakewood, Calif., in the CIF Southern Section Regional finals ... In the spring of 1998, Brandon played in the Eddie Jones All-Star Classic's L.A. All-Star game.
As a junior in 1998, Brandon was named to the Student Sports' All-State Underclass Team.
SIDELIGHTS: Brandon was born on Oct. 5, 1979 ... He is a sociology major.
OTHERS ON GRANVILLE: (The Sporting News): "Brandon Granville is an outstanding athlete and a dazzling passer."
(Former teammate Brian Scalabrine): "Everything happens for us when Brandon is in control of the basketball. And we're out of sync without him. In this league, everything begins, offensively and defensively, with your point guard."
(Todd Harmonson of the Orange County Register): "He has a point guard's physique and skills but he also has a knack for knocking down clutch shots."
(Frank Burlison, then of the Orange County Register): "Brandon was one of the quickest and most creative point guards in Southern California in 1998. What sets him apart from other playmakers is his ability to stretch a defense with his three-point shooting ability."

About Lynn's Numerological Forecast & Personal Day Cycle
Just as Lynn Borden evolves through a nine-year cycle and experiences the nine-month cycle, she is also subjected to nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year and even Personal Month cycles. The Personal Day cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles do. The numbers within the daily cycles have a similar impact on Lynn to the yearly and monthly cycles - though less pronounced.

These sleeping bear cubs are making the same sound your car engine makes when you're late for work. Better to go green and get a whole litter of bear cubs that you can train as a sled team. All you'd have to do is dangle a beehive in front of them — they'd get you wherever you wanted to be just as fast as a car and with way more pomp.

Serious Beer Pairings: Chocolate and Beer for Valentine's Day
Beer and food are better together.
Chocolate and beer? Together? It may sound like a conspiracy on the part of beer-loving-guys to take back Valentine's Day, but take it from this former skeptic: Chocolate and beer can be an incredible pairing.

I'm not necessarily recommending eating chocolate with the kind of beer you drink with dinner. Many bitter brews are unlikely to taste great with sugary desserts. But this Valentine's Day, when you and your sweetheart sit down to savor a few chocolate truffles, consider pouring a fruity Belgian sour, a malty doppelbock, or maybe a potent barrel-aged imperial stout. You may be surprised how well these beverages complement filled chocolates, bringing out the best flavors in each. And isn't bringing out the best in each other what romance is all about?
Malty Beers
When pairing chocolate and beer, rich malty flavors are your friend. German doppelbocks are meant to be hearty—monks brewed them to serve as a food replacement during the fasts of Lent and Advent. Doppelbocks are silky and warming, with nutty, molasses flavors. We particularly like Ayinger's Celebrator, which has notes of caramel, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This beer brings out the ginger and cinnamon flavors in Bespoke Chocolate's Chai Spice truffle. The creaminess of the chocolate emphasizes the silky richness of the doppelbock, and the warm spice flavors in both make it fun to alternate bites and sips.
Kiuchi Brewery's Hitachino Nest Real Ginger Brew is another malty beer, with a twist: It has a burst of fresh ginger, which makes it a great match for ginger-filled chocolates. It is an amazing partner for Bespoke's Orange-Infused Dark Chocolate Truffle, which has crystallized ginger in the ganache filling. The fresh, potent flavors of the truffle are amazing with the toffee-like beer.
Dogfish Head's Theobroma is an unusual beer brewed with cocoa powder and cocoa nibs, as well as honey and chilies. It may surprise you to pour it—the color is orangey amber and flavors are complex and delicate. This beer pairs well with white and milk chocolate. We loved it with Zoe Chocolate's Aegean Pistachio truffle. This nut-coated chocolate is filled with ground pistachio and and vanilla-scented white chocolate ganache; it's light and fragrant and lovely with the Theobroma. This beer also paired well with the creamy key lime ganache in Jacques Torres' "Lovebug" white chocolate bonbon. As the beer warms, rustic yeasty flavors and caramel malt come out to play, making it a good match for the gooey cayenne caramels from Lillie Belle Farms.
Belgian dubbels are also good for pairing with chocolate since they have rich malty flavors as well as some dark winelike fruit notes. We liked the Maredsous 8 with slightly tangy, fruity chocolates like the Strawberry Balsamic truffle from Bespoke.
Fruity and Sour Beers
Looking for a bit of zing this Valentine's Day? Traditional lambics are brewed with whole fruit, producing a funky, barnyardy beer with intense (and quite sour) fruit flavor. If possible, try to avoid lambics that are made by adding fruit syrup instead—these will taste more like fruit soda than like a sophisticated adult beverage.
We love Cascade Brewing's award-winning Apricot Ale, which ferments for 16 months before being aged in French oak wine barrels. Ripe apricots give this beer a sweet and sour fruit flavor that makes an amazing match for the passion fruit-filled white chocolate heart from Bespoke. If you think you're not a fan of white chocolate, these hearts might change your mind—they're made from non-deodorized chocolate with a fresh, tangy filling. The earthy, yeasty flavors of the Apricot Ale elevate the chocolate to a higher level of complexity. We were wowed. (We are also wild for Cascade's Kriek, but that might be better to pair with cheesecake than chocolate.)
Ococoa Chocolates, based in Los Angeles, makes a line of gourmet nut-butter cups that are pretty delicious on their own, and even nicer paired with beer. The macadamia-guava cup is filled with an usual combination of tangy guava jam and creamy macadamia which matches perfectly with Cherish Raspberry Lambic from Van Steenberge Brewery in Belgium. The beer is a little sweeter than we'd usually drink, but has tart flavors to balance the jammy ones, and a good malty, yeasty backbone. It's surprisingly drinkable and delicious with the guava-filled chocolate.
Some foods align perfectly with beers that share their flavors, while other pairings work through contrast. When we first tasted Bespoke's honeyed peanut butter truffle, we knew it would work with a fruity beer for a play on PB&J. Rodenbach Classic, a Flemish red ale, has zingy fruit flavors reminiscent of cherries and raspberries. Hay and butter notes make it a fabulous match for peanut-butter filled chocolates. They're fun together. We also adored this beer with Bespoke's famous Pretzel-Covered Sea Salt Caramel—the tart beer was a great foil for the rich creamy caramel, making the flavor of each one pop.
Dark and Chocolaty Beers
Maui Brewing Company's Coconut Porter is already a drinkable dessert, but it's even better paired with the Jacques Torres' fresh coconut bonbon. If your loved one loves Mounds bars, he or she will adore these dark chocolates filled with coconut and white chocolate ganache. The beer is silky and rich, with deep chocolate flavors and just a hint of milky coconut—it's a heavenly match. We also love this porter with anything almond-flavored—Ococoa's Marzipan Truffle brings out the richness in the beer, making for a truly decadent dessert.
The Imperial Choklat Stout from Southern Tier Brewing Company smells like a banana split and tastes like a chocolate malted milkshake. It's a sure thing with Valentine's Day chocolates: try it with Zoe Chocolate's mint truffle. The creamy, fresh mint is delicious with the sweet, chocolaty beer. This beer is also sweet enough to complement Zoe's spun-honey chocolate. The rich cashew butter in Ococoa's cashew apricot cup compliments the creamy vanilla flavors in the beer; it's a delicious match.
Milk stouts are brewed with lactose sugar, which adds a bit of sweetness and body to the beer. The Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing has dry, rich, dark chocolate flavors and a velvety mouthfeel. It's good with coffee-filled chocolates such as Zoe Chocolate's Caffe truffle. The creamy coffee ganache resonates with the richness of the stout, and the bitterness of the coffee is right at home. This beer also works wonders with intense dark chocolates such as the 80% cocoa bonbon from Jacques Torres.
Young's Double Chocolate Stout is a smooth dark beer with quite a bit of roasty flavor. It's delicious with spiced chocolates such as Bespoke's cardamom-infused Turkish Coffee truffle. River Horse Brewers Reserve Oatmeal Milk Stout, a not-very-sweet stout, has the perfect smoky, nutty flavors to pair with a nut-encrusted blue cheese ganache truffle from Lillie Belle Farms in Oregon. It would also probably work well with other nutty chocolates, though it was perfect with the savory blue cheese filling. We also liked this roasty beer with Lillie Belle's slightly spicy chocolate-covered Red Velvet Almonds, and aren't almonds an aphrodisiac?
The Ten Fidy from Oskar Blues may appear harmless—it comes in a can—but this imperial stout should be taken seriously. Intense and velvety, it complements the milky, nutty flavors in Jacques Torres' Almondine bonbon. Ground candied almonds suspended in ganache contrast the dark chocolate shell and the strong and roasty beer.
The most intense pairing we tried was the combination of Bespoke's Single-Estate Columbian Dark Chocolate Truffle (swoon) with Goose Island's barrel-aged Bourbon County Stout.. The intense dark chocolate is the only thing that can stand up to this potent, velvety beer, and we were head-over-heels for the pairing. Smoky chocolate and vanilla notes in the beer amplify the deep flavors of the 70% cocoa chocolate ganache—together, they make one of the sexiest desserts we've ever tasted.

From Terrorism from the Gaza Strip since Operation Cast Lead (ITIC report, March 2011)
1. In the two years since Operation Cast Lead there has been a significant reduction in the extent and severity of terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the other Palestinian terrorist organizations operating in the Gaza Strip. That created a new security situation, and improvement on that before Operation Cast Lead. The decrease in terrorism reflects Israel's power, restored by Operation Cast Lead, to deter the terrorist organizations. However, even the current level of rocket and mortar shell fire and the frequent attacks on IDF forces along the border fence disrupt the daily lives of the western Negev residents.
2. The relative quiet has been exploited by Hamas and the other terrorist organizations for the as yet incomplete process of rehabilitating and upgrading their military capabilities. The process is implemented by the vast support provided by Iran and Syria. In any case, Hamas continues to make it possible, sometimes with its own involvement or through its proxies, for low-signature shooting attacks and other terrorist activities to be carried out, and tries to keep a balance between preventing escalation and waging a campaign of attrition against Israeli civilians.
3. Hamas, to enforce its strategic policy of restraint on the other terrorist organizations operating in the Gaza Strip, some of which occasionally try to challenge it, uses its security (and sometimes military) enforcement apparatuses. Hamas also coerced other terrorist organizations into accepting its policies through agreements meant to preserve the lull. Its enforcement apparatuses reduced rocket fire and showcase attacks from the Gaza Strip and at the same time tried to channel the rogue organizations into accepting the ground rules deemed suitable by hamas.
4. Those Hamas policies have been carried out with varying levels of effectiveness and determination. Judging by the results, it can be said that Hamas has generally succeeded in enforcing its policy of restraint on the other organizations, including its rivals. However, at the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 there was been an erosion in the willingness of the various organizations to obey Hamas' policy, and there was a certain increase in shooting and other terrorist attacks against Israel.
5. On the ground, in 2009 and 2010 Hamas' restraint policy was effective both quantitatively and qualitatively. The number of showcase attacks decreased and there was significantly less rocket and mortar shell fire from the Gaza Strip. In the two years since Operation Cast Lead, 261 rocket hits were identified in Israeli territory, 158 in 2009 and 103 in 2010. A total of 161 mortar shell hits were identified, 108 in 2009 and 53 in 2010 (half of them in December). In addition, several hundred rockets and mortar shells misfired and landed in the Gaza Strip.
6. To "compensate" for the need to restrain attacks along the Gaza-Israeli border, Hamas and the other terrorist organizations looked for indirect routes into Israel through the Sinai Peninsula and naval routes from the sea. Efforts were made to hide them and on occasion to deny their existence, especially to avoid complicating relations (complex in any case) with Egypt, which regards the exploitation of the Sinai Peninsula for terrorist attacks as detrimental to its national security and economy.
7. The use of indirect routes in 2010 was manifested by two instances of launching of 122mm Grad rockets from the Sinai Peninsula at Eilat, Israel's southernmost city. Responsible for both attacks were operatives from Hamas' Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades in the Gaza Strip. Hamas, however, did not admit responsibility for the attacks and in one instance even denied the attack had been carried out. In other instances Hamas and the other terrorist organizations operating in the Gaza Strip sent terrorist squads into Israel through the Sinai Peninsula to carry out various types of attacks. Those plans included the abduction and murder of an IDF soldier, his body to be used as a bargaining chip, and mass-casualty attacks in crowded population centers.
8. The relative quiet was disrupted at the end of 2010 by increasing mortar shell fire aimed at military and civilian targets and by increasing rocket fire. In February 2011 a 122mm Grad rocket attack was carried out against Beersheba, 42 kilometers (26 miles) from the Gaza Strip (for the first time since Operation Cast Lead). There was also an increase in the number of attempted attacks (IEDs, anti-tank fire, sniper attacks) on IDF forces conducting counterterrorism activities near the border fence, both within Israeli territory and inside the Gaza Strip (several hundred meters from the fence).
9. In our assessment, Israel's deterrent power still exists and Hamas clearly wants to continue its policy of restraint to keep the situation from deteriorating. However, Hamas, its military wing and the other terrorist organizations have increased their activities and become bolder. Their objective is to test what they can and cannot do vis-à-vis Israel and extend the limits of their terrorist attacks. Hamas still enforces its enforcement actions, although on occasion it allows the other organizations slightly more freedom of action, and infrequently even participates in attacks near the border fence.
10. Hamas and the other terrorist organizations are exploiting the relative quiet on the ground for a rapid process of rehabilitating and upgrading their military capabilities. Hamas gives the process priority over rehabilitating the civilian infrastructure, which demands greater resources. Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad particularly emphasize improving their rocket and mortar shell capabilities, considered Israel's home front to be its Achilles heel, and want to be able to strike Israeli civilians while using Palestinian civilians as human shields.
11. In the two years since Operation Cast Lead, Hamas (with aid from Iran) has doubled and upgraded its rocket arsenal. It now has thousands of rockets of various ranges, both standard and homemade, including Fajr 5 rockets which can reach the center of Israel. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad has also upgraded its rocket capabilities.
12. Hamas also particularly emphasizes rehabilitating and upgrading its anti-tank system, which it regards as a response to the IDF's armored advantage. In the past two years the terrorist organizations operating in the Gaza Strip have equipped themselves with advanced anti-tank guided missile systems with deeper penetration capabilities, such as Kornet missiles (the first of which was fired from the Gaza Strip on December 6, 2010).
13. The process of rehabilitating the terrorist military infrastructure is based on weapons and knowhow supplied by external sources. It entails exploiting Sudanese territory and using border-crossing networks of smugglers and merchants, passing through routes, most of which originate in Iran. As in the past, Iran plays a principle role, regarding the growing military capabilities being constructed in the Gaza Strip as a tool for advancing its own strategic objectives.
14. Iranian and Syrian support is manifested in supplying Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad with highly advanced weapons, logistical aid in smuggling them into the Gaza Strip, instruction and training, transferring funds to the organizations in the Gaza Strip and giving the de facto Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip political and propaganda support. In addition, Iran fosters special relations with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, an Iranian proxy which is not subject to some of the governmental considerations restraining Hamas.

Is it just me, or has August been a little hectic for you too? Sure, this is supposed to be the month when most of Western civilization takes long vacations and work a little bit less, if they work at all. But I've found myself thrown into weeks of teaching classes, more recipe testing, dealing with website issues, and working on potential business partnerships. All of this is very exciting (well, except for the web issues, which are a pain in the ___), but frankly, I'm exhausted!
Which is why cold summery noodles have been a life saver this month. I make a big batch just before the days I know I'll be swamped with work, store it in the fridge, and for the next 2 to 3 days just eat it cold come meal time. My standbys lately have been cold sesame noodles, kale and sesame soba, and zucchini noodles, but this week I made a big batch of peanut and lime soba noodles.
For the sauce, I used creamy peanut butter and tamari, which is a bit richer but less salty than regular soy sauce, as a base. Then I just whisked in a bit of water to thin out the thick peanut butter, then mixed a bit of mirin, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. The lime juice goes in right at the end, and makes the sauce go from good to "wow!"
My only regret was that I didn't make two batches the first time around...
Peanut and Lime Soba Noodles
Serves 4
- 1/2 cup frozen edamame, shelled, or substitute frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon tamari, or substitute soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 medium carrots, julienned
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon white rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 8 ounces dried soba noodles
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped
- Lime wedges for serving
- Bring a small pot of water to boil. Cook the shelled edamame for 3 to 4 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the tamari and water until smooth. Add the sesame oil, mirin, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger and whisk until well-blended.
- Bring a medium pot of water to boil and cook the soba until al dente, or the minimum amount of time according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again. Toss the cooled noodles with the peanut butter sauce. Add the julienned carrots and edamame, drizzle over with the lime juice, and toss again.
- Transfer to serving dishes and sprinkle the chopped peanuts and scallions on top. Serve the noodles with lime wedges for extra lime flavor.

DescriptionIn this game, the player controls a postal clerk in the small fishing village of Festeron. The postmaster, Mr. Crisp, orders the player to deliver an envelope to the owner of Ye Olde Magick Shoppe. However, this seemingly innocent task inexplicably leads to a strange phenomenon: as the hero steps out, he finds that Festeron has been mysteriously transformed into a dark, ominous town called Witchville. Even cute little poodles have turned into hellhounds! Finding the Wishbringer, a stone that grants seven wishes to those who possess the right objects, seems like the only solution - or is it?
Wishbringer is a text adventure set in the Zork universe. The player types in commands to navigate the character, interact with the game world, and solve puzzles. The game has a rather open-ended structure, with many situations possessing several solutions; the player can opt for a "magical" approach to the tasks, using the titular stone, or attempt to solve the game in a more straightforward way.

Symposium focuses on children's health insurance coverage in New Jersey, April 15
PRINCETON, N.J. -- Health care experts and state legislators will discuss the "The Unhealthy State of Health Insurance for Children" at Princeton University's 2005 Symposium on New Jersey Issues from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday, April 15, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
The symposium will examine flaws in New Jersey's health care insurance system and proposals for improvement. Despite a number of federal and state government programs aimed at improving health coverage, an estimated 10 percent of children in New Jersey do not have health insurance coverage.
The event's keynote presentations will be delivered by three noted health care authorities:
- Uwe Reinhardt, the James Madison Professor of Political Economy at Princeton, who is one of the nation's leading experts on health care economics;
- Sara Rosenbaum, chair of the Department of Health Policy and Hirsh Professor of Health Law and Policy at George Washington University, who has played a major role in the design of federal and state regulatory health policy in a wide range of areas; and
- Melanie Bella, vice president for policy at the Princeton, N.J.-based Center for Health Care Strategies, who leads the nonprofit center's efforts to improve the quality of health care for some of the nation's most vulnerable populations, including low-income families and people with chronic illness, disabilities or special needs.
The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion with legislators on the current state of health insurance for children in New Jersey and what government officials are doing to address the issue.
The symposium is sponsored by the University's Policy Research Institute for the Region, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and Office of Community and State Affairs. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. For additional information or to register, visit: http://web.princeton.edu/sites/pucsa/pucsa_reg/index.html.
