I feel like I want to write after one of my favorite chapters in the entire Old Testament. (Nehemiah 8 is my favorite, fyi). I don't know how often I will get to write once school starts up, even if I will get to read regularly like I want. So I might as well share a few thoughts before school gets too deep in session.
Genesis 18 has always been a favorite of mine. There is something of this hopeful scenario we find ourselves in. I guess it is sort of like winning the lottery, you just don't know when it will happen. However, if you are faithful, it most likely will occur, whether we recognize it or not. I guess in that sense, I guess the odds are much better than the lottery, it is just a matter of when. After all, the promise is given that those who are faithful shall receive of the Father. Most Christian religions put it as after this life, but my faith places it as a possibility even within this life. That good things come to those who are willing to receive.
Here we have Abraham out scratching a living out of the plains of Mamre. While in the heat of the day, the long existence we sometimes find life to be, three guests appear. It appears he recognizes them since he runs to them and bows before them. He calls him "My Lord" and then asks the men to stay for a while, to wash their feet, and to rest themselves. He prepares a meal for them from freshly prepared cakes and even a calf plucked for the occasion.
It is then in this conversation that we learn that these are messengers of the Lord. It is then that they begin to bestow blessings upon Abraham and Sarah. Sarah even laughs at the promises given. I can imagine a giddy, quizzical, perhaps even non-believing laugh. But she quickly dismisses the blessing whether she intended to or not. Then comes the ultimate rebuke, "Is any thing too hard for the Lord?"
Sarah then denies that she laughed, probably in shame and fear, for such an insult, especially to the Lord. The blessings continue and the story goes on.
The part that I have always loved about the story is that in the middle of the day, on a very hot day, the blessings of heaven were bestowed. Other versions of the story, most notably of the Midrash tell of how Abraham was actually worried that some traveler might be stranded out in the heat of the day and sends his servants out to bring in any such travelers who might be perishing in the heat. His faithfulness was rewarded all the more.
How does this apply in my life? I am reminded of Hebrews 13:1-2, "Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Abraham did entertain angels, but he was not unaware. It appears his faithfulness was such that he recognized the Lord immediately, probably from past interactions. It would have to be this type of personal interactions to follow the dictates to later offer up Isaac. It would take some pretty serious personal experience for me to heed such a directive, despite its complete variance with standing gospel law.
The beauty of the whole scenario is that all who are faithful can receive the same blessings as Abraham. "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him." "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." John 14:21, 23.
Whether the Lord himself, or by his angels, it is the same. "For behold, [angels] are subject unto him, to minister according to the word of his command, showing themselves unto them of strong faith and a firm mind in every form of godliness." Moroni 7:30. The callings of angels are further defined. But if in full divine investiture of authority, we would not know the difference whether it was the Father and Son, or angels sent to act in their behalf.
All I know is that Abraham, a mortal man, entertained angels, perhaps Jehovah himself. Either way, it is beautiful. If Abraham can do it, certainly I have that same hope. If Cain can speak with the Lord even in his worst sins; surely I, one attempting to follow him can speak and hear the voice of the Lord.
In other thoughts, more of questions since I have no clue. At what point was what we call 'incest' no longer part of the plan. I am not suggesting or proposing the idea, just curious when the Lord stopped it. The Mosaic Law speaks against it, but obviously it was permitted for the children of Adam to procreate. I know there are the believe that God created other individuals for the procreation of the race, even though the scriptures don't mention it.
Lot's daughters wanted to keep the commandment of producing seed (multiplying and replentishing the earth) but don't seem to give much heed to any rules concerning incest. Marriage is an eternal law dating clear to Adam and Eve. But at what point was 'incest' not allowed. The daughters of Lot sleeping with him smacks in the face of Adultery/Fornication whatever it would have been called at that point. Abraham married his own half-sister.
I really don't know the answer to these questions. I don't believe what Lot's daughters do is right, certainly not by the commandments the Lord laid out for us since. But what was the state of the the law then? Then again, these daughters grew up in Sodom, so can we subscribe the false, ungodly actions to their surroundings? Judah doesn't fare much better in sleeping with family later. Who knows? The laws of marriage seemed much more loose to them, after all, how did we end up with concubines? Especially where the Lord seems to approve of them? So many questions!

After some rough-and-tumble years, Gary Allan is finally looking at clear skies ahead.
On the personal front, Allan is forging ahead after mourning the loss of his father and undergoing surgery to remove a polyp on his vocal cords. For the first time in five years, he's roared into the Top 5 at country radio with "Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)." And he's patched up a rocky relationship with his longtime label, MCA Nashville, for the album Set You Free.
"We took them all champagne and we had a toast," Allan tells CMT.com. "I've gotten to know a lot of them. It's a good thing. I tell you what, I've never had such a good team."
CMT: How does the first song, "Tough Goodbye," set the tone for this album?
Allan: The whole record, if you read the song titles when you get it, reads like a breakup. It starts out with "Tough Goodbye," then goes through all of the emotions of a breakup and the healing process and rounds itself out with "Good as New."
There's a lot of energy in "Tough Goodbye."
Yeah, we just started playing that song live. It's a great song. Josh Thompson and Tony Martin wrote it. That was a "first listen" for me. I would be surprised if that's not a single.
How often do you pick a song to record based on the first listen?
It's pretty rare for me. Sometimes if a song hits me really good the first time, I get sick of it. And by the 10th time I've heard it, it's just candy, and I don't like it anymore. I usually get out all of my songs and wear them out myself before I even start deciding what to record. Some of them weed themselves out.
And sometimes you get sick of them as you record. That happens to me on every record. At the end of the record, there are songs that other people are jumping up and down about. Then I say, "I don't think that's even going to make it on the record." There was one for this album called "Sleeping Like a Baby" that had everybody flipping out, and I said, "I don't like it." (laughs)
What were you hoping to capture when you wrote "Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)"?
We wanted a song about hope. I wrote it with Hillary Lindsey and Matt Warren. I remember Matt Warren brought the hook. It was from an accident he had earlier that week while he was weed-eating. He said a rock hit him on the head, and he wrote on a piece of paper, "Every storm runs out of rain." He brought that into us.
And I can remember Hillary doing this gospel stomp sort of thing. It took off that way for a while, then we ended up writing a different song, which is how we work together. Then as she was walking out the door, she sat down at the piano and started playing a riff. She does this once in a while and says, "Everybody just make something up." I started singing, and I think I sang the first verse and the melody in the chorus. Then when we came back next time, it was almost done. We just had to finish it.
I read that the song "One More Time" was really touching to your mother. What response did you get the first time you played it for her?
I had just lost my dad, so to me that is a funeral song. It's a really introspective song, and that's how it hit her. She called and said, "It just makes me think of your dad and it makes me cry." I always send her the work tapes, then she tells me what she likes.
How do you send her the music? Just drop a CD in the mail?
I'll email her MP3s. I usually do all of the pre-production stuff in my house, so she gets all of that stuff.
Does she like the Internet and using computers?
She does! You've got to keep it really simple. I sent her an iMac and the Geek Squad set it all up. Then a week later, she said, "Ah, I can't play my solitaire on this." (laughs) That was pretty much the killer — the solitaire. So we went back to a PC. (laughs)
You've said before that your dad wouldn't let you sign a record deal when you were a teenager. Was that a point of contention at the time?
Oh, yeah! I was offered a deal, and he wouldn't sign it. So I quit playing with him. I was young and didn't want to play in his band anymore. He used to tell me that I imitated people, and that's why he didn't sign it. He'd say, "You need to play for the people who love you, the people who hate you and the people who couldn't care less. And that's how you learn to play for yourself."
Actually, I didn't even get what any of that meant. I was just pissed off as a kid. But when I was 23, I remember a distinct year where I didn't have to think about how I played a song. I just played it in my band and the song became ours, whatever it was. I think then it clicked, what he meant. I think I did imitate people.
And he said, "If you get a deal too young, they're going to mold you." He said, "I don't want them to mold you." That was his deal.
Would you say he was right?
Oh, yeah! In hindsight, all the way. I wouldn't be the person I am if it wasn't for him.
Have they tried to mold you over the years?
Yeah, but I'm pretty stubborn. (laughs) Shoot, there's a committee to tell you everything at a record label. You definitely have to know who you are if you want to look like you at the end of the process. We've all seen people get record contracts, and by the time they're spit out by the machine, we don't even recognize them.
How do you respond to those attempts? Do you just say, "No, I'm not going to do that"?
Totally. The whole hat thing was because they told me to take it off. I hardly ever wore a hat. But they told me to take it off, so I wore it every day, everywhere I went, for 10 years! (laughs) There is always a committee to tell you what to do. But until what I do doesn't work anymore, let's not try to fix me.
Was that stylish look from the "Smoke Rings in the Dark" era your idea?
Yeah, that was my idea. That was part of them telling me not to. So I just went more hardcore into that.
What did they want? T-shirt and jeans?
Well, they were trying to get me out of the hat, so I came back with hats and suits. I think it worked, but they were still saying, "You need to lose the hat." I think it wasn't until they blew out that part of the label, and those people stopped talking to me, to where I came in without a hat. (laughs) Just as long as nobody's going to tell me I have to do it, I'll do it.

I just finsihed on the plane ride home yesterday The Silmarillion[/i] which is history of Elves in Middle Earth. The thing is epic in proportion and may be my all time favorite book. It is a very difficult read though. There are like 200 names you need to keep track of so I was only able to read 3-4 pages a night. The whole world that Tolkien created to supplement the history of LOTR is so rich and detailed and stunning. You really have no idea until you read it all. The gods, the elves, men, what went wrong etc etc You can see some really cool almost Biblical connotations throughout the book...why do we die and is better to die than it would be to live forever? It will definitely require a second reading just to make sure I have it all down and it will go a lot quicker then next time

City: Threatened trash fees are working
The city's Solid Waste Department said the threat of tickets has forced some to clean up their acts.
Target 7 uncovered last year hundreds of reports flowing into the city of trash being left behind by garbage collectors as they ran their routes.
The solid waste department said, in many cases, homeowners were to blame for over-stuffing or not properly bagging their trash. In response to Target 7's story, the city spent $55,000 on fliers, which warned people that if they violated trash pick-up rules three times in six months, they'd be socked with a $15 fee.
People like Kimberley Kerlin were furious.
"I thought it was absolutely, absolutely ridiculous," she said in July. "Our trash is always like this, I can't imagine having a $15 fine every single week."
But for all the fliers that were passed out, and all the fuss that was made, zero people have had to pay that fee.
"Once the fliers went out, people started calling and asking," said spokesman Bobby Sisneros. "They wanted to make sure they were in compliance and we noticed a drastic decrease in the amount of missed pickups."
It's unclear if the amount of complaints coming into 311 about drivers missing trash on the roads have decreased as well.

The author, who began writing a Browns newsletter at age 8 and went on to publish seven books on Cleveland sports, currently is a columnist for TheClevelandFan.com and is a commentator on Cleveland radio station WHK's "The Sports Fix."
During Bill Belichick's first game as an NFL head coach on Sunday Sept. 1, 1991, the Cleveland Browns wore brown jerseys and white pants as 78,860 fans in Cleveland Stadium watched the Browns get beat 26-14 by the Dallas Cowboys.
It's in the Bible.
That would be "The Browns Bible: The Complete Game-By-Game History of the Cleveland Browns" by Jonathan Knight. It also tells us that "QB Bernie Kosar hit WR Webster Slaughter for a 62-yard touchdown bomb on the first play of the second half," which brought the Browns within a touchdown in the score. "But, Dallas simply had too many weapons."
Knight, who has been writing about Northeast Ohio athletics for a quarter of a century, compiled game statistics and penned game stories for every contest in Brown's history before the 2013 season. The book begins with the initial regular season game of the 1946 All-American Football Conference season, in which the Browns beat the Miami Seahawks 44-0. It ends with the Browns' 24-10 National Football League loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Dec. 20 of last year.
OK, the book doesn't really start with the Miami game. A preface allows the author to tell readers just how information-laden the book is.
"In your hands you hold the complete history of the Cleveland Browns — every season they fought through, every game they ever played, every touchdown they ever scored," writes Knight. "Spread across these pages are summaries of each and every regular-season and postseason game the Browns have ever played. Along with the summaries, you'll find box scores listing how every point of every game was scored, plus the individual offensive statistics for each contest."
And, the book doesn't just end with the completion of last season. An appendix is "honeycombed with intriguing details that examine everything from the Browns' all-time record by jersey color, starting quarterbacks, month and day of the week," Knight promises in his preface, "to how they've fared against former coaches and in classic ballparks."
The author, who began writing a Browns newsletter at age 8 and went on to publish seven books on Cleveland sports, currently is a columnist for TheClevelandFan.com and is a commentator on Cleveland radio station WHK's "The Sports Fix."
"The Browns Bible," published in hardcover by Kent State University Press, is 589 pages at coffee table size. Cost is $55.
Daniel Donatelli will launch his new book, "The Great Anti-American Novel," at 7:30 p.m. at La Taqueria in Richmond Heights.
A Cleveland native and a 2004 graduate of Ohio University, Donatelli wrote the first draft of the book when he was a freshman at the school. It was inspired by a question that the author said kept reoccurring to him: What if there were a second American civil war?
Donatelli published the book through his own company, H.H.B. Publishing. It can be purchased through online booksellers.
Ohio State University Press has published "Moral Enterprise: Literature and Education in Antebellum America" by Derek Pacheco. The author is assistant professor of English and American studies at Purdue University.
Matthias Collins, the author of "The Antediluvian Gene: Writings of D.I.E. Theory," will put on a program from 5 to 7 p.m. tonight at Kathleen Howland Theatre in 2nd April at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW.
Collins will read from and sign his book, which makes comparisons between Sigmund Freud's psychic apparatus — the id, the ego, and the super-ego — and biblical history.

Congressional Gold Medal honoring Japanese-Americans veterans of WWII goes on national tour
HONOLULU – The Congressional Gold Medal awarded last year to Japanese-Americans who served in World War II is going on a national tour.
An exhibition featuring the medal will open on Saturday at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans.
It will then travel to museums in Honolulu, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Ore., Chicago and Houston over the next year.
Irene Hirano Inouye says her late husband — U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye, who lost his right arm fighting with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team in Italy — saw the tour as an important way to tell others the story.
Congress last year awarded the medal collectively to those who served three Japanese-American units: the 442nd, the 100th Infantry Battalion and the Military Intelligence Service.

|Allograft rejection - Homo sapiens (human)
|Allograft rejection is the consequence of the recipient's alloimmune response to nonself antigens expressed by donor tissues. After transplantation of organ allografts, there are two pathways of antigen presentation. In the direct pathway, recipient T cells react to intact allogeneic MHC molecules expressed on the surface of donor cells. This pathway would activate host CD4 or CD8 T cells. In contrast, donor MHC molecules (and all other proteins) shed from the graft can be taken up by host APCs and presented to recipient T cells in the context of self-MHC molecules - the indirect pathway. Such presentation activates predominantly CD4 T cells. A direct cytotoxic T-cell attack on graft cells can be made only by T cells that recognize the graft MHC molecules directly. Nontheless, T cells with indirect allospecificity can contribute to graft rejection by activating macrophages, which cause tissue injury and fibrosis, and are also likely to be important in the development of an alloantibody response to graft.

Police released surveillance video showing a burglary in progress at a church in Southern California on Tuesday — and they say the thousands of dollars stolen were headed for charity.
The video was captured May 1, between 4:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., at the Forty Martyrs Armenian Church in Santa Ana, Calif.
Two of the men broke into the church, while the third acted as a lookout, according to police.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
After rummaging through rooms and cabinets for about an hour, the burglars came across a safe containing $15,000.
The video shows one burglar leave the room and return with a crowbar, which the men use to rip the safe out of the ground.
The money was for the church's weekly bingo night, which was held the previous Friday, the church said.
"This was for charity. Nobody likes people who steal from charity," said Corporal Anthony Bertagna of the Santa Ana Police Department. "They collected money that they could have used for a lot better things than what these people will be using it for."
The first suspect was described as a white man, 30 to 35 years old, clean shaven. A second was described as a white man, 40 to 45 years old with a mustache, a bald head and a medium build. A third suspect was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and appeared to possibly be a Latino man, 35 to 40 years old, with a goatee and a thin build.
Anaheim and Irvine police are investigating similar burglaries have occurred at small businesses across Santa Ana. In each case, a safe containing money was taken.
Anyone with information can contact the Santa Ana Police Department at (714) 245-8665.

And that someone is a marvelous new writer named Jeanne Ray, whose contemporary take on old rivalries, star-crossed passions, and clandestine intrigues charts a fresh, funny, exquisitely plotted tale of, well, Shakespearean proportions. Julie and Romeo is absolutely delicious. A smart, sexy celebration of the timeless nature of romance."
—A. Manette Ansay, author of Vinegar Hill and Midnight Champagne
"Love and desire will not be denied in this lighthearted inversion of a classic story. Filled with the delicate sweetness of fresh flowers and new love, Julie and Romeo is a smart, funny, touching book. Where has Jeanne Ray been hiding all these years?"

Teenagers and children as young as 12 years old are getting involved in the drug smuggling trade along the U.S.-Mexico border – and may even be at risk for recruitment, federal agents say.
Suspected teen smugglers, according to the agents, have been caught this year trying to cross into southern California with drugs secretly taped to their bodies.
Last year, a record 190 teens - ages 18 and under - were caught smuggling drugs along the San Ysidro-San Diego County border, according to federal investigators. While the number is down to 128 so far this year, there are still disturbing new trends, said Jose Garcia, a deputy special agent for ICE Homeland Security Investigations.
U.S. & World
American and Mexican children are being recruited by cartels as drug mules, agents said. Recruiters used to target mainly teenage boys, but now they're targeting young girls. And, these days, marijuana is no longer the drug of choice -- it's meth.
"It shocks me and saddens me that kids are getting involved. It doesn't shock me that cartels will use whatever method they need," Garcia said.
Garcia's agents have been focusing on teen drug smugglers since 2009, he said. Cartels have recruited kids outside schools, arcades and malls, he said.
Social media has also been used to entice potential teen smugglers.
"We've even had one recruited by someone they know on Facebook," Garcia said.
The special agent said teens can carry as much as six kilos of drugs hidden under their clothing.
"If you look at the way that some females are dressed, it's hard to detect, they're wearing skinny jeans and tight tops and they still manage to hide it on them so the untrained eye wouldn't pick up on it," explained Garcia.
The money they get if they make it across the border is minimal compared to the risk they take.
"The lowest [payment] is $50 and the highest we've heard is about $500. But the average is somewhere between $75 and $300," explained Garcia.
The cartel recruiters tell the kids that because they are minors, they won't get in serious trouble.
However, Garcia says that selling point is misleading.
"The truth is if they are arrested with narcotics, especially hard narcotics, they're going to have two felonies on their record," Garcia said.
To help combat the teen drug smuggling trend, agents have formed a special outreach program that travels from school to school, warning kids about the dangers of drug smuggling.
Agents also warn parents to be alert and aware of their teens' cash flow. Agents say that if a child suddenly has a lot of money and parent don't know where it came from, it could be a red flag.

Customer from mining industry – SKF customizes transmission coupling weighing more than 2,000kg
To compound matters, the breakdown had to be resolved urgently in order to prevent a mine-wide shutdown. Many major transmission coupling suppliers that the customer approached were only able to deliver the request in a minimum period of 4 to 5 months.
When consulted, SKF immediately took action by customizing the solution according to the customer's needs. SKF supplied the customer with a coupling weighing more than 2,000kg, which was incidentally, the largest coupling that SKF had ever supplied. Even in the face of with unfamiliar challenges, SKF Power Transmission is able to provide quality solutions that exceed the customers' expectations.

A 17-year-old boy sold one of his kidneys because he wanted an iPad 2 and other electronic gadgets, reports from China said Thursday.
"I wanted to buy an iPad 2, but I didn't have the money," the boy told Shenzhen TV according to The Telegraph (U.K.) "When I surfed the Internet I found an advert posted online by agent saying they were able to pay 20,000 (yuan) to buy a kidney."
The boy, identified only as "Zheng" from the Anhui Province, reportedly connected with the organ brokers through the Internet and was operated on at a private hospital in Chenzhou in exchange for 20,000 yuan (just over $3,000.) The boy's mother contacted police after finding her son's new electronics and learning that he sold his kidney. The organ traffickers could not be found.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The hospital has no kidney transplantation qualifications and denied any knowledge of the surgery. However, the hospital did tell reporters that it contracts out its urology department to a Fujian businessman.
While this whole tale may be hard to swallow, and we also have our doubts about its veracity, organ-trafficking is a reality in China where 1.5 million await organ transplants each year but only 10,000 will be lucky enough to get one, according to the Global Times.
And the saddest part of all -- the boy reportedly bought a laptop and an iPhone with his money. Where's the iPad 2?

Domestic violence. Its older than the Bible and as fresh as the morning news.
No wonder composer Giuseppe Verdi said yes to Arrigo Boitos libretto for an opera based on Shakespeares Othello. The story has all the ingredients of high drama passionate love, raging jealousy, murder and suicide.
In 1603, there were no restraining orders when Shakespeares tale took to the stage. In 1887, when Verdis Otello premiered in Milan, his music heightened an already charged story of betrayal and madness. Take the opening storm scene, for example. The orchestras percussion section dominates and energizes everything. Later, Verdis incessant drums underscore Otellos frenzy as he smothers his wife in a fit of rage. Not pretty, but powerful.
Set in the late 15th century, Otello begins with a roiling storm pummeling the shores of Cyprus. A decorated Venetian general and governor of the island, Otello returns with his triumphant fleet. They have defeated the hated Turks and life looks good.
But things turn sour quickly as Iago, Otellos ensign, plots the generals demise. One of the most thoroughly crafted villains in literature and opera, Iago seethes with hatred. Expecting advancement, he has been passed over for a younger, less intelligent man. Cassio, whom Iago disdains, will be promoted instead.
Throughout, we see Iagos mind at work. Originally that was Shakespeares genius, and the Verdi-Boito collaboration employs that self-disclosing trope in the opera. He reveals his plot against Cassio and, ultimately, Otello.
First Iago instigates a fight between Cassio and Roderigo, a young man who happens to secretly love Otellos beautiful wife, Desdemona. It doesnt end well, and Otello retracts Cassios advancement. But Act I ends sweetly as husband and wife sing a love duet. Its pure Verdi, soaring lines that spread out like wings and fold back again in delicious resolution. Sung by tenor Johan Botha and soprano Renée Fleming, life and opera are good.
Iago concocts more mischief in Act II. Apparently, Verdi thought of titling the opera Iago, but decided against it because of the fame of Shakespeares play. The German bass-baritone Falk Struckmann sings the role that drives the action. Some reviews say he steals the show.
Iago insinuates infidelity between Desdemona and poor Cassio with a simple ruse. Desdemonas handkerchief, a gift from Otello, falls into the wrong hands. By the end of Act II, Otello believes Iagos lies, and the great general turns on his wife.
Act III belongs to Otello and the handkerchief. Hes alternately consumed by anger, disbelief and self-pity as Desdemonas betrayal seems true. In his desperation, Otello sings an extended version of Why me?
Venetian ambassadors arrive and call Otello back to the mainland and appoint Cassio governor. Musically complex and psychologically brilliant, the scene explodes when Otello loses control, hurls insults at everyone, shoves Desdemona to the floor and clears the room. Only Iago stands by with a conspiratorial smirk as the general collapses.
Act IV finds Desdemona in her bedchamber. She sings an aria about a forsaken woman then a prayer, the famous Ave Maria,and falls asleep. Otello enters and wakes her with a kiss, a prelude to one of the most horrific scenes in opera.
With news of Cassio killing Roderigo, Emilia, Desdemonas handmaid, desperately enters and Iagos plot is finally revealed. Otello recognizes Desdemonas innocence and kills himself.
In this sumptuous revival of Elijah Moshinskys original 1994 staging, expect palatial rooms, period dress and a spectacular opening storm.

Professor named editor-in-chief of science journal
Rochester Institute of Technology professor Grover Swartzlander has been appointed the incoming editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Optical Society of America B.
The international scientific publication of the Optical Society of America has been in print since 1917. It currently publishes approximately 450 papers per year in the area of optical physics.
"Even with the proliferation of many specialty journals, the Journal of the Optical Society of America B. has maintained a steady impact factor and a long citation half-life," says Swartzlander, joint associate professor in RIT's Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science and School of Physics and Astronomy.
Swartzlander has served the Optical Society of America in other volunteer capacities, including topical editor of Optics Letters, member of the Publications Council, and member of the Fellows Committee. He is an OSA Fellow, a NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts Fellow and a Cottrell Scholar.
His current research combines experimental and theoretical methods in the areas of advanced optical navigation of solar sails, advanced optical instruments for detecting exoplanets and optical vortex phenomena.

Justin Bieber is picking up the Punk'd baton Ashton Kutcher dropped three years ago, signing on to host the popular MTV prank show, according to a report.
Kutcher Punk'd his last celeb in 2007, and the swoopy-haired 16-year-old pop heartthrob is taking over hosting duties, according to New York magazine's entertainment website, Vulture. Kutcher will maintain a producing credit on the program's new edition through his company, Katalyst Entertainment.
Conceived in 2003 as a sort of Candid Camera for the ADD generation, Kutcher amiably played the original Punk'd host, going to great lengths to fool celebrity friends and foils.
U.S. & World
In a season two episode, Beyonce was on the business end of a typical punking. Asked to light a gigantic Christmas tree for a group of kids and then sing a holiday song, she was taken by crane to the top of the tree -- at which point the tree collapsed and seemingly pinned a kid to the ground.
The children bombarded the curvy singer with shrieks of, "You ruined Christmas," before Kutcher leapt from the production truck, where he typically manned the monitors, to break it to Beyonce.
It remains to be seen if Bieber possesses the same zeal for zingers as Kutcher -- and if he has time in his busy pop-culture-conquering schedule to do the pranks justice. Meantime, Twitter might want to bolster its servers: Kutcher and Bieber are No. 1 and No. 3 in popularity among celebrity tweeters.

The disposal of tons of nerve agent at Newport Chemical Depot will be the topic of two presenter's remarks at today's Women on Campus Meeting.
Susan Gilman, Outreach Office Manager, and Debbie Landers, Lab Operations, will speak about the controversial disposal of the deadly agents stored at the Newport facility.
The Depot is about 50 miles southeast of Crawfordsville. The site has been used by the U.S. Army as a production site of various materials since 1941. But it was in 1959 that the Army awarded a contract to the FMC Corporation, New York, for the design and construction of a facility to produce the chemical agent VX. The facility was completed in 1961 at a cost exceeding $16 million.
VX is a rapid-acting, lethal nerve agent. Weapons such as land mines, spray tanks and rockets were shipped by rail, filled with VX, to Newport. President Richard Nixon halted the production of chemical weapons in 1968. The final two batches of 1,269 tons were left in storage at the Depot. The agents are highly secured and guarded 24-hours a day.
The Chemical Weapons Convention treaty, ratified in 1997, requires the U.S. to destroy all its chemical weapons and production facilities by 2007.
The Army awarded a $295 million contract in February 1999 to Parsons Infrastructure and Technology Group Inc., along with AlliedSignal, to design, build, operate and close the disposal facility. They intend to dispose of the deadly nerve agent through a low-pressure, low-temperature neutralization process.
The 12:10 p.m presentation in the International Hall of the Detchon Center is open to everyone.

Reading the Constition, Almost, Sort of
Last week the new Republican leadership in the House of Representatives arranged for members to read the U.S. Constitution aloud during a legislative session. That had never been done, they said. It still hasn't.
Of course, the Constitution provides the legal basis for Congress and the rest of the federal government, and has never been far from its deliberations. Members of Congress swear to protect it. The late Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.V.) was known for handing out copies from his pockets.
These days the text of the Constitution is easier to find than ever. I have copies in booklets, reference books, and computer files. There's a standard text, and an annotated text from the Congressional Research Service, noting which clauses have been superseded by amendment. The Supreme Court's interpretations of the document are more voluminous, of course, and ongoing.
But the House leadership didn't like the standard historical text. Those men apparently wanted to avoid having members recorded reading clauses that protected slavery, like the "three-fifths" and fugitive clauses. Their choice produced objections from other House members who wanted that history recognized explicitly instead of implicitly by reading the whole document.
The Republican leadership also didn't want members to read the Eighteenth Amendment, prohibiting the sale of alcohol, though they did include the subsequent Twentieth-first Amendment, which makes no sense without the text it repeals. Passages on the Electoral College and the Vice President's election, showing that the founders' system never worked as intended, were also silently removed.
Nevertheless, as Bob Fuss at CBS News, Dahlia Lithwick at Slate, and Matthew J. Franck at National Review Online pointed out, the scrubbed text still included passages and details that have been superseded by later amendments.
The most embarrassing moment of this episode, however, came when Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) started reading, "or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress…" He began in the middle of a sentence, and what he read made no sense with what had come before. The reading had skipped a page. Fortenberry later told the Omaha World-Herald that he knew he was in the wrong place, but he read what was in front of him anyway.
And no one spoke up. If members of Congress in the chamber were following along in their own copies, or familiar enough with the Constitution to recognize the error, they said nothing. Not even, "Mr. Speaker, did we skip a page?" Maybe they thought that the missing text was one of the parts that had been edited out.
The organizer of the reading, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), later read the missing text into the Congressional Record, much as individual representatives have inserted the whole text in the past. But the full Constitution has still never been read aloud in a House session.
The Congressional Record will include the edited text that the House wanted to read, though I can't find that text on the web. (There's a C-SPAN transcript of the session.) Apparently this is another of the limits on the new leadership's "openness."
Most observers say this theatrical exercise was staged for the benefit of the Tea Party, adherents of which so revere the Constitution that some wish to change the legal meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, alter the Sixteenth Amendment, rescind the Seventeenth Amendment, add a nullification process, and overlook the prohibition on religious tests for office and religious establishment. Of course, the Tea Party also complains about wasteful government action, and they might question the value of an errant reading of the Constitution.
POSTSCRIPT: In its article on the House reading, New York Times reported this detail:
"I just read the First Amendment!" Representative Gabrielle Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, said gleefully as she exited the floor.As most people have no doubt heard, Rep. Giffords was shot at a public event in her district yesterday.
"I wanted to be here, I think it's important," Ms. Giffords said. "Reflecting on the Constitution in a bipartisan way is a good way to start the year."

I realize I will lose fellowship with many readers of this article because of the position I take on this subject. However, the truth is the truth and I believe the facts presented in this article will bear out the truth. I have felt for a while that an article on this subject may be beneficial to God's people. However, I feel now it is necessary. Some of our people have begun to teach that if a church doesn't use the King James Version (hereafter referred to as the KJV), it cannot be considered a true church.
Considering the problems of the New Testament churches, this teaching is simply preposterous. The KJV is proudly called, "The Authorized Version" as if God Himself has put His stamp of approval on it. However, it was never "authorized" by anybody but King James I of England. Realizing that KJV-onlyism has become accepted among Sovereign Grace Baptist people, I feel the need to "set the record straight". Adolph Hitler (through the medium of his propaganda minister, Goebels) said, "If you tell a lie long enough loud enough and often enough the people will believe it". Perhaps this explains this problem. This issue has replaced important doctrines. This issue has taken our focus off the spreading of the Gospel and put it where it doesn't need to be. I plead with the readers of this article to consider the facts. Put away your pre-conceived ideas and tradition. Take a moment to consider these indisputable facts.
Before I begin, I want to explain how I was brought to see the error of KJV-onlyism. Several years ago, I would have probably considered myself a "mild" KJV-onlyist. I didn't go as far as many. However, I surely believed every other version was corrupt and only the KJV was a "valid" translation. Then, I hit an unexpected snag while studying this subject. I found an outright lie written by one of the KJV promoters. Being the inquisitive person that I am, I began to research supposed fact after fact. I found many of the arguments of the KJV-onlyists to be nothing but fabrications. A few of these will be discussed in the article before us. I realize that many of our people are ignorantly KJV-only. They have been told things by people that have
been told things. Most have never studied this for themselves as I hadn't. Don't take my word for it, research it yourself.
Let me also be clear. I am not suggesting anybody should abandon the KJV. I am not saying the KJV is not a very good translation. I am not condemning anybody for their use of the KJV. This article is meant to set the record straight concerning KJV-onlyism and the lies that have been set forth by the proponents of this doctrine – nothing more. In doing so, I will bring out some shortcomings in the KJV. However, the purpose is to show that the very things they condemn other versions for can be said about the KJV.
Also, I am not advocating that all new versions of the Bible are good. To be perfectly honest, many of the modern translations are not solid for various reasons. The New International Version (commonly called the NIV) is a horrible translation. At best, it's a paraphrase of the Bible. In fact, if the "translators" had been honest and said it was a paraphrase, I could respect them. However, you can't judge every modern translation by the NIV. Each version must be judged on its own merits. However, every Baptist (and, therefore, Biblical) doctrine can even be found in the worst translations such as the NIV. Though I wouldn't use it as my study Bible or preaching Bible, God surely can (and has) used it in the life of many of His children. It's much more than many children of God had during the dark ages.
Let me begin this treatise by saying Baptists have surely not always used the KJV. Since the KJV didn't come on the scene until the 17th century, Baptists used something else for 16 centuries. English speaking Baptists have not always used the KJV either. Some of the Bibles they used were the Coverdale version, the Bishop's Bible, Wycliffe's translation, Tyndale's translation, and the Geneva Bible. Were they without the Bible for 16 centuries? Of course they were not. KJV-onlyists maintain that God has placed His "stamp of approval" on the KJV. However, this is opinion at best. Some would say, "God worked through the KJV for 400
years. That proves He acknowledges it alone to the English speaking people." When did Baptists begin creating doctrine out of experiences? We could say that God is, no doubt, saving many people in Arminianism today. Does that mean we ought to all be Arminians? Of course not. This line of thinking wouldn't be used by a Baptist in any case other than this one.
Early American Bibles were not the KJV. When the Puritans fled to America due to religious persecution in England, they brought their Geneva Bibles with them. If the Protestants opposed the KJV, there is little doubt that Baptists (being more persecuted than any other group) opposed the King James Version. One of the silliest arguments made by the KJV-onlyists is that the KJV was never copyrighted and other versions were. Admittedly, this is true. However, copyright laws didn't exist until decades after the last KJV edition was completed. How did the KJV end up taking over the English speaking world? Simple. King James outlawed other versions such as the Geneva and placed heavy fines on those that were found printing or owning anything other than his "authorized" version. If King James had never outlawed the Geneva, it's very possible that we would be using an updated version of it today. Perhaps some would be Geneva only!!
King James is often revered by KJV-onlyists as a great man. KJV-only groups have sought to make him a pillar for truth. However, some reputable historians have found information that at least suggests he was a homosexual. He was buried between two men that many have maintained were his lovers. Whether that is true or not, there is little doubt that King James I was a hater of Baptists. He and at least 6 of his translators were known persecutors of Baptists. Thomas Crosby (who wrote the first known English Baptist history book) spoke of Baptist persecution under James' reign. He said, "The other one [burned] was Edward Wightman, A BAPTIST, of the town of Burton upon Trent, who on the 14th day of December [1610] was convicted of diverse heresies before the bishop of Coventry and Litchfield; and being delivered
up to the secular power, was BURNT at Litchfield the 11th of April following." This (the April following) was the same year the 1611 KJV was released!! The same year, James had Bartholomew Legate and his brother Thomas imprisoned for heresy. They were vocal opponents of both Roman Catholicism and the Church of England. Thomas died in prison. After being brought before James numerous times, Bartholomew was burned at the stake on March 18, 1612 when he refused to retract his opinions. King James may have been a great man by Church of England standards, but, he was no friend to God's people.
KJV-onlyism is far from a Baptist distinctive. In fact, the single most responsible book for the KJV only position is Which Bible?, edited by David Otis Fuller. Besides Fuller, there are 11 other writers of this book. 46% of this book was written by Benjamin G. Wilkinson. In reality, 10 chapters of Our Authorized Bible Vindicated were included in Which Bible?. Originally, there were 16 chapters of Mr. Wilkinson's book. Fuller leads his readers to believe that Mr. Wilkinson was a "scholar" of the "first rank." Sadly, this influential man was neither a scholar nor a Baptist. Wilkinson was a 7th day Adventist. He is, perhaps, the most influential person in the KJV only movement. Lest anybody think I am misleading you, the college he taught at was Washington Missionary College known today as Columbia Union College. He was titled "Dean of Theology". Let me just make note of a couple of heresies advocated by the 7th day Adventists. They propose that all who reject the Saturday Sabbath and worship on Sunday have taken part in the mark of the beast and will ultimately be lost. They also believe that Satan, not Christ, will ultimately bear the Christian's sin. Of course, there are other errors, but, these two are enough to dismiss them as Christian.
This is the documented beginnings of KJV-onlyism. Let none of the readers suppose that this began or was advocated by any Baptists of the time.
Well respected Baptists have not always felt the KJV was the best translation. B.H. Carroll says in his Introduction to An Interpretation of the English Bible, "The only textbook absolutely requisite is the English Bible. The Common, or King James Version, can be made to serve, but the Canterbury Revision, or the American Standard Version, is much preferred." Now, I am not advocating the use of any Bible that was translated from the Westcott-Hort text or the Nestle-Aland text. I prefer a Bible that was translated from the Majority text because I personally believe (though, I'm no textual critic) that they are more reliable. However, Carroll is plain here. He was a faithful Baptist. I have often heard him recommended and quoted by our preachers. There isn't one shred of history that so much as hints to Carroll being "black balled" over this position. That, in itself, speaks volumes. Henry Jessey, a Baptist pastor in the early 1600's, complained about the KJV for its bent favoring "episcopacy," and said that Bancroft, who was supervisor of the KJV, "altered it in fourteen places to make it speak the language of prelacy". "Prelacy" refers to a system of church government by Prelates such as Archbishops and Bishops set over more than one local church. No Baptist that I have found wrote anything of KJV-onlyism before the past couple of decades. And then, most of the ones I find are hardly Baptist by doctrine and practice. Baptists were not KJV-only until recently. Numerous statements of faith and great men of faith could be quoted to show that Baptists believed the original Hebrew and Greek was inspired – not the translations and, therefore, not the translators.
KJV-onlyists claim that the KJV is to be preferred because it was translated from the Textus Receptus in 1611. This is simply false. The Textus Receptus wasn't published until 1624. The KJV translators used Stephens of 1550 which was a predecessor for what is commonly referred to as the "Textus Receptus" today. Stephens text is a revision of the Dutch humanist (and Catholic) Erasmus' work. However, none of these are completely identical. Also, the term from which we derive "Textus Receptus" wasn't used until the 1633 printing. For that matter, there are only 50 known complete Greek New Testament texts. None of these
completely agree and the KJV doesn't agree with any of them completely. In fact, 29% of the KJV was taken straight from Tyndale and 61% of it was taken from other versions. To be honest, the KJV translators were more a group of revisers of previous versions than they were translators. Please don't misunderstand; I am confident that the KJV translators used a solid text. It's the misinformation of the KJV-onlyists I wish to discredit.
One of the most common falsehoods is that the KJV used by the KJV-onlyists is the 1611 version. A church near my home often has "We use the 1611 KJV" on their sign. Many web-sites promoting KJV-onlyism claim to use the 1611 version. Some of them say "to read the 1611 Authorized Version, click here." Without exception, every time I've "clicked here" I have been taken to a recent edition of the KJV. Today's common KJV is actually the 10th edition. I have yet to find one church among the Lord's churches that use the 1611 version of the KJV. Check your Bible. If it doesn't contain the Apocrypha, it is not the 1611 version. If it doesn't contain 8,422 marginal notes offering alternate translations, it is not the 1611 version. If doesn't use "f's" for "s's", it is not the 1611 version. Many major changes have taken place since 1611 – not merely language updates as the KJV-onlyists would have us believe. The Apocrypha was dropped, of course and the 8,422 marginal notes were dropped. Most likely, not one person reading this article uses the 1611 version as their primary Bible and most have neither read it or have owned a copy of it.
Considering this, if the present KJV is not the original 1611 (and it definitely is not), which KJV should be used? Which of the 10 editions is error free? It could easily be shown that numerous phrases and words were changed. They were not only changed to update language (we do readily admit that some of the changes were language updates), but many other words were changed. The first revision took place two years after the original printing in 1613. There were more than 400 variations from the first edition. It's simply ridiculous to assert that the
language had changed so much in 2 years as to warrant this number of changes. The next revision occurred 3 years later in 1616. The only change was I Cor. 4:9. It changed from "approved to death" to "appointed to death." In 1629, the first major revision was printed at Cambridge. Another revision in 1629 excluded the Apocrypha though most revisions didn't actually exclude it until the 19th century. In 1631, it was printed at London and called the "Wicked Bible." The word "not" was omitted from the 7th commandment. Obviously, this was a misprint. In 1638, there were further revisions. In 1717, a revision called "the Vinegar Bible" was printed. Jesus gives a parable of the vinegar (instead of the parable of the vineyard) in Luke 20. Again, this was obviously a misprint. In 1745, the "Murderer's Bible" was printed. Mark 7:27 read, "Let the little children first be killed (instead of filled)". As with the previous edition, this was a misprint. In 1762, Cambridge published another version that had major revisions. In 1769, Blayney's edition of the KJV was published. This is the edition that is the basis for most modern KJV Bibles. It actually differs from the 1611 in at least 75,000 details. No doubt, many of these are capitalization and punctuation. But, it still begs the question of which one is correct. In 1873, Cambridge published another edition that contained 16 printed pages of differences from the original 1611 version. If (as the KJV-onlyist's maintain) God "directed" the KJV translators, how can we believe any of these revisions was necessary?
The Translators of the KJV themselves disagreed with the KJV-onlyists. They stressed the need for constant revision to update the language. They confessed they were not inspired and were unsure about many of the words they translated. In their introduction, they said ""The original there being from heaven, not from the earth, the author's being God, not man, the editor, the Holy Spirit, not the wit of the apostles." They fully understood that they were simply men. They knew the originals were inspired by God. They never claimed inspiration whatsoever. They also gave credence to all other translations of the day calling them "The Word of God." They said, "Nay, we affirm and avow that the meanest translation of the Bible in English is the
word of God." In other words, even the poorest translations were God's Word. They felt that the Septuagint was not a very good translation saying it "was faulty in many places. It descended from the original and did not come near it in grandeur or majesty." This is the OT translation used by Jesus and the apostles!!! Did they condemn it because they felt that way? Did they say it was "corrupt" as the KJV-onlyist's do in attacking any other version today? Absolutely not!! And, neither did the apostles since they used it. The KJV-onlyists often claim that the KJV translators were "directed by God" in the translation process. Were they "directed by God" to make these comments as well?
Gail Riplinger has influenced contemporary KJV-onlyism as much as anybody. Most of our KJV-only brethren continue to use information from her book New Age Bible Versions whether they know it or not. However, this book has been found to be full of outright falsehoods. I personally have owned this book for years. When I began "re-researching" this position, I checked many of her arguments and found them to be complete misrepresentations. There's simply no way Riplinger didn't know it. She purposely misrepresented the facts to support her belief. As with many KJV-onlyists, she didn't want her "truth" to be confused with facts and she was willing to purposely mislead her readers to support her position. When one writer refuted her book, Texe Marrs (a KJV-onlyist) replied by saying "Don't write me again unless in sincere repentance. You are a devil, plain & simple. I understand well why Mrs. Riplinger does not respond to your ridiculous assertions. Why dignify the lying claims of a servant of Satan!". Since when has an investigation of facts been heresy? Was not it the Berean (and Baptist) saints that looked into the Scriptures daily to make sure what they were being told was the truth? Should we not do the same thing even concerning KJV-onlyism? Interestingly, most of our brethren would never acknowledge a woman teacher or writer. However, on this issue, she is given full credence because her books supports their position. Sadly, this one woman they are willing to follow purposely misled the masses in numerous places. For instance,
in her tract "NKJV errors and omissions", she slams the NKJV by saying that it "ignored the KJV Greek Textus Receptus over 1,200 times." However, she never compares it to the Greek. She compares it to the KJV which is not the standard. She should have said it disagreed with the KJV in 1200 instances. In her tract, Gail claims that in the NKJV, there are 66 omissions of "Lord." However, she didn't cite one verse to prove this. She (and many of our brethren) goes on to say that the NKJV wishes to discredit the deity of Christ by the 66 omissions of "Lord". However, the truth is that these are not omissions at all, but legitimate translations. In fact, the NKJV uses the title "Lord" for Jesus Christ, but not for human masters. For instance, Mat. 10:24 says, "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master." (NKJV) The KJV renders the Greek word kurios as "lord" instead of "master." The NKJV actually has the more correct translation in these passages. Why do our brethren not know this? Simply, they take her words as gospel rather than simply checking into her "facts." As I've said, there's absolutely no way that she didn't know this information was wrong. As far as I'm concerned, that makes it a lie. Therefore, when we use it, we are promoting lies. Baptist people, we must check our facts rather than quoting misinformation simply because it agrees with our traditions.
I don't know of any reputable Baptists that didn't see the need for Greek helps. They knew the KJV was a translation. They saw the importance of referring to the Greek to make sure they were getting the proper meaning as given in the original languages. I was taught to do this by men that are considered scholars by most readers of this article. It is with great caution that I bring these points out. I do not wish to destroy the faith of any. However, we have reached a point where the truth must be told. We have the abilities to check the KJV with Greek helps. There is no doubt that "Easter" in Acts 12:4 should have been translated as "Passover" as it was in every other instance in the NT. For the record, every other modern version has the correct translation. The word "ecclesia" should have been translated "congregation" or "assembly" as every solid Baptist preacher I've ever heard readily admitted. Why did the KJV not correct this
error of the earlier English translations? Because King James I had a rule that all of the Ecclesiastical words were to be kept. If "ecclesia" had been translated as "congregation" and "baptizo" had been translated as "immerse", there may be much less confusion on these subjects than there is today. One will also notice that newer versions changed "God forbid" (as translated in the KJV) to something like "certainly not" (as used in the NKJV). Though some will claim that the word "God" was omitted by the newer versions, honest seekers will find that it was actually added by the KJV translators. If our readers will simply check the Greek New Testament, you will find that every passage translated "God forbid" in the KJV is incorrect. The Greek word for God is absent in these passages in the Greek New Testament. This is adding to God's Word at the least and taking God's name in vain at the worst. When I found this out, I honestly felt betrayed.
KJV-onlyism among modern Baptists is nothing more than tradition. Our people have fallen into the same trap as the Jews in the days of Christ. We have gotten comfortable in our way of thinking on this subject and we have made a doctrine out of it. As I said earlier, some now are "un-churching" congregations that would use another translation. It matters not how accurate the doctrine and practice of churches are; they could lose their candlestick if they forsake the beloved KJV for another version that may be as solid as the KJV. This is purely tradition and, sadly, there are no real Baptists roots for it. Again, this doctrine is founded in the teachings of a 7th day Adventist.
The KJV is a wonderful translation and those that use it should cherish it. However, there are a few other excellent translations. Knowing the truth, we should give liberty on this. Baptists have sought a better translation since the translation process began. A small few KJV-onlyists say they'll use a better translation if one is ever produced. However, they condemn all new translations – many without even owning a copy and surely without much study. Again, it's
the doctrine and practice of a church that makes it faithful to the Lord or not. Without love (and with the KJV), I am nothing. With love (and with the NIV), I can please God. I personally will not use the NIV for various reasons which the next section will bring out. However, my concern for a church is whether they are preaching the true Gospel, taking the Commission to the World and standing for the distinctives which Baptists have stood for since the days of the Apostles no matter which version of the Scripture they use.
Taking all of this into consideration, what should we look for in a Bible? Well, first, we should look at the texts used in the translation process. Let me preface this by saying I am not a textual critic. The truth is that all of the texts are amazingly similar. They are 98% alike. This, in itself, speaks of God's preservation of His Word. All Baptist doctrines (and, therefore, Christian doctrine) can be found in every text without exception. Even in the texts that exclude certain passages or verses, the doctrines found in those omitted verses are still found in other places. So, deeming the texts as "corrupt" is, perhaps, a little harsh. If the copyists were wishing to delete certain teachings from God's Word, they've had 2000 years to delete all of the verses and passages which teach these truths. However, they still remain. That said, I prefer the Majority Text. This is the group in which the Textus Receptus belongs. These texts were preserved by God in the areas where the epistles were originally sent. The Alexandrian (Westcott-Hort, Nestle-Aland, ect.) texts were found in places where the epistles were not sent. It seems logical that the possibility for copyist errors grew as these texts were copied and sent to other areas. Secondly, and perhaps the more importantly, the translation method needs to be checked. For instance, the KJV, the NKJV, the KJ3, the Analytical-Literal Translation of the NT (and a handful of others) all use a "word for word" translation method from the Majority text. The English Standard Version is a good "word for word" translation. However, it may be a cause for concern that it uses the Nestle-Aland text. The NIV, contrastingly, uses "dynamic
equivalence" (as noted in their introduction) which is a "thought for thought" translation method. This type of translation is a paraphrase at best. The translators who use this method of translation attempt to tell you what the Greek "meant" rather than telling you what it said. In my opinion, they need to leave the interpretation to the reader and the leadership of the Spirit. They claim to use an "eclectic text" (a combination of various texts). However, a casual observer can see that it leaned heavily on the Alexandrian text making it doubly questionable. Lastly, the Bible needs to be readable. Some of the older English versions (such as the Wycliffe) take too much work (in my opinion) for a modern English speaking person to study daily as their main study Bible. Also, some of the newer literal "word for word" versions are difficult to read due to the word order. These versions could (and should) be used for reference, but, probably won't serve well as a daily study Bible. Using these 3 guidelines, one may well use the KJV, the NKJV, the Modern KJV, the KJ3 and a handful of others. Just make sure that you read the introduction of whichever Bible you use to check into these things.
If nothing else, I hope this article challenges the readers. I am fully convinced that the KJV-onlyists who read this article will (in their minds) not believe the facts of this article. They are adamant of their position. As I've said, they don't wish their "truth" to be confused with real facts. Hopefully, the majority of our readers are willing to consider these things. As previously mentioned, the KJV is a wonderful translation. God has used it. However, it's simply erroneous to believe that God is not presently using a good translation such as the NKJV. I have used it in my daily reading for years and have found it to be very solid. In some places, it is better than the KJV. In other places, I prefer the KJV. Let us remember, neither of these is the standard. The standard is the original articles as they were given to men by the Holy Spirit of God. Therefore, let us always keep Greek helps (a concordance, a lexicon, an interlinear, a Bible dictionary, etc.) near us. Perhaps more importantly though, let us judge a church by its doctrine and practice since that's what we see God judging a church by in His Word.
As I said in the introduction, I'm confident that my opinions on this matter will cause some to break fellowship with me. I wish that wasn't so. However, those that know me realize that I have never concerned myself with pleasing "the brethren" in my ministry. My desire is to "obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29). If you doubt what I have said, the facts presented in this article are easily researched in various places. I encourage every person that reads this article to do just that. In fact, I encourage you to make sure any and all facts presented by me or any other authors on this subject are accurate. My primary purpose for writing this article is because there is so much misinformation out there.
May God help us all.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Federico Higuaín has not been around all season to hear Columbus Crew head coach Robert Warzycha's all-too-frequent lamentations on the team's lack of composure in front of goal.
And with the third-worst offense in the league, it was no wonder management was so dogged in finally getting Higuaín signed as a Designated Player on July 27.
The investment is already reaping benefits.
The Argentine forward showed with his goal in the 51st minute to give the Crew a two-goal lead en route to a 2-1 victory on Wednesday.
GOAL: Higuaín makes it 2-0
The Crew had a sequence of passes that ultimately placed the ball on his right foot for a calmly-struck finish that beat goalkeeper Freddy Hall from 12 yards, a play that often ended with an errant finish prior to Higuaín's arrival, as evidenced by the Crew's 23 goals in 22 prior games.
"I had some time to look at the goalie and finish," Higuain said through a translator.
Prior to his first goal in his second game with the club – he had an assist in 45 minutes on Sunday at Houston – he had spurned one chance.
Emilio Renteria started the play with a ball across to Eddie Gaven – who was the early benefactor of an Higuaín assist in the fourth minute – who then headed the ball to to the 27-year-old, though his initial shot fell to Jairo Arrieta.
"I got it on my left leg," Higuain said. "I couldn't kick it the way I wanted but luckily the ball went to Jairo and he very generously passed the ball back to me and I was able to score."
Arrieta said through a translator, "Federico took a shot. The ball bounced. It went to me. I saw Federico in a better position so I laid it off to him. He had a really good finish."
That the Crew were able to possess the ball so well inside the penalty area did not go unnoticed.
"It was nice to get four or five guys getting a little touch on the ball," midfielder Eddie Gaven said.
Higuaín has now has contributed to three of the Crew's past four goals in only 121 minutes of play.
"I'm happy for the goal but happier for getting the goal that got us three points," he said.

The weather postponed games close to playoff action.
The second round of frosty weather has once againpaused prep basketball as the post season approaches � and some teams are relying on the last couple of games.
North Carolina�s snow postponed action this week, the last stretch of regular-season contests. Teams can conduct make-up games next week, according to an NCHSAA release. Only four games can be played during that time, using Saturday to make up games or host conference tournaments.
The Eastern Carolina 2A tourney is still set to begin next week, and playoff seeding will be released on Feb. 22 as originally scheduled, according to the release.
Each school in the area has two conference games remaining. Though the athletes cannot use campus facilities to practice while schools are closed, Greene Central coach Jim Cole said a couple of days off won�t hurt.
�At this point in the season, we don�t do a whole lot anyway,� Cole said. �I don�t think having a day or two off from basketball really is a terrible thing for them.�
He said his team has improved throughout the year, but the Rams two conference wins and are looking to play their last two league games. As of Wednesday at noon, GC was still set to play Goldsboro today as this evening�s pair of contests had yet to be pushed back.
All of Friday�s games are still in place at this point, which includes a visit from South Lenoir to Greene Central (10-11 overall, 2-6 EC2A).
�There�s no more room to make up these games. We needed those games, and we still feel like we have a shot at qualifying for the playoffs,� Cole said. �Missing games are going to hurt that chance.�
He said his team is eager to play and �test ourselves in the conference tournament.�
Kinston (16-4, 8-0) has dominated the conference, proved by unblemished records in league play for both the boys� and girls� squads. They are coming off 2A state championships, respectively.
So post-season basketball is inevitable for the Vikings.
Beneath Kinston in the conference standings are the scrappy Hawks of North Lenoir. Throughout EC2A play, NL, South Lenoir and Goldsboro have been battling for second place. The Hawks (9-13, 4-4) would claim the No. 2 spot since they won each head-to-head match at home against the Blue Devils and Cougars.
Arendell Parrott Academy has already played its final regular-season game and is seeded No. 5 as it enters post-season action. Bethel Christian Academy�s Tuesday game at Grammercy has also been postponed.

The Royal Bank of Scotland group has been hit by a technical fault that is affecting RBS and Natwest customers' online accounts and preventing balances from being updated.
The issue came to light this morning, when a number of customers reported on the company's help pages that wages and tax credits had not been paid into their accounts. One small business owner told the BBC that the electronic system to pay staff was also not working.
RBS acknowledged the problem on its Twitter page at around 10am this morning, apologising to customers and claiming that it was working hard to resolve the technical issues
"We are currently experiencing technical issues which mean that a number of customer account balances have not yet been updated and some of our online services are temporarily unavailable," the company said in a statement.
"We are working hard to fix this and hope to have the problem resolved as soon as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience caused to our customers."
The issue has elicited a deluge of angry responses from customers on both Twitter and Natwest's 'Ideas Bank' page.
"After NOT being able to get my 2yr old to playgroup today (pre paid) NOT being able to take my driving test which cost £62 and NOT able to pay my mum back money I promised she would get Yesterday! and now iv got 22pence on electric meter! GREAT," wrote roxanne111 from Newcastle.
Others described the issue as a "disgrace" and called for the company to give an indication of when the issue would be resolved. Sarah-jbef from Norfolk was reportedly told by a customer service representative that service should be restored "by close of business," but had previously been given times of 10am and midday.
"My rent was due today. As far as I am aware it is sitting in my bank account not doing anything," said Daltone from Wirral. "The Indian woman at the call centre said it had definitely gone out, but reading comments here I am not so sure that is the case."
The latest tweet from the RBS Twitter account suggests that the issue will be resolved "within the next few hours".
RBS and NatWest are both part of the Royal Bank of Scotland group, and share a number of technical systems, including online infrastructure, according to Sky News.
This story, "Natwest and RBS suffer major technical fault" was originally published by Techworld.com.
