The Old Testament: a historical and literary introduction to the Hebrew scriptures
Oxford University Press, 2006 - Religion - 572 pages
Lucidly written by a leading biblical scholar, this balanced, engaging,and up-to date introduction to the Hebrew scriptures distills the best ofcurrent scholarship. Employing the narrative chronology of the Bible itself andthe history of the ancient Near East as a framework, author Michael Coogancovers all the books of the Hebrew Bible, along with the deuterocanonical booksincluded in the Bible used by many Christians. He treats every book of the canonwith careful attention to its historical context, its particular genre, and itsdistinctive features. Dealing in detail with ancient Near Eastern sources andarchaeological data, Coogan works from a primarily historical and criticalmethodology but also introduces readers to literary analysis and otherinterpretive strategies, especially current ones. The Old Testament: A Historical and Literary Introduction to the HebrewScriptures is enhanced by a glossary, timelines, photos, illustrations, maps,and a four-color insert on Jerusalem in biblical times. Strategically placedboxes address issues that often puzzle readers of the Bible, provide models ofinterpretation of particular texts, and discuss their significance for Judaismand Christianity. Each chapter includes key terms, questions for review anddiscussion, and suggestions for further reading. Providing a non-denominationaland non-doctrinal treatment, The Old Testament is accessible to students of allbackgrounds. It offers a unique and captivating introduction to the Hebrewscriptures themselves and to how they have been--and can be--interpreted.

Oil prices rose on Thursday as fears about gasoline supply pulled the complex higher, outweighing concerns of weakening economic output in the euro zone.
Gasoline prices rose more than 2 percent on Thursday on the expectation that a busy refinery maintenance season could draw down stockpiles, despite current healthy levels.
"About the only thing going on is a panic attack regarding gasoline. There is a fear in the marketplace that gasoline supplies will fall short," said Tim Evans, an energy analyst for Citi Futures perspective.
Gasoline inventories on the U.S. East Coast rose to their highest in nearly a year, according to government data on Wednesday.
"We have the data over on one side of the balance here, and we have this surging price that reflects anxiety over the future on the other," Evans said.
Brent crude oil edged up six cents to trade above $118 per barrel. April Brent futures became the front-month contract on Thursday. U.S. crude rose 25 cents to $97.26.
The U.S. RBOB gasoline contract was up more than 9 cents to $3.09.
Expectations of higher oil demand were dampened by European data. Euro zone economic output fell 0.6 percent in the final quarter of 2012, according to the European Union's statistics office. This is a greater drop than the 0.4 percent expected by analysts polled by Reuters.
Germany, France and Italy saw their economies, the three biggest in the euro zone, shrink more than expected. The German economy contracted by 0.6 percent, its worst performance since 2009, and well below analyst forecasts.
Data showed the number of Americans filing claims for unemployment fell more than expected last week, suggesting an accelerating economic recovery for the world's largest oil consumer.

Two wheels and pedals, a handlebar, frame, chain and derailleur gears. The bicycle's basic design is so simple and efficient that it hasn't really changed for more than 75 years. But the relentless human urge to improve produces annual refinements in bikes — and maybe none push the envelope like the 2011 models examined below.
Radical rethinking
Jones 29er with Spaceframe: Wild-looking non-suspension titanium mountain bike with a trussed fork, swept-back multi-position handlebars and a unique frame that offers a set-back, upright riding position and some built-in flex from numerous curved tubes. An optional giant-sized "fat" front tire (shown) also eats bumps.
Likes: It's the coolest-looking, most comfortable, best-handling bike on the block. Builder Jeff Jones, a former GT designer, has rejected conventional concepts of suspension and lean-forward body positioning, which he says is unnatural for non-racers who don't care about aerodynamics. His new geometry shrinks the cockpit, slides the seat farther back over the rear wheel and uses easy-reach handlebars to put riders in an upright horseback-type position. That puts more body weight over the pedals, taking weight off the hands (eliminating numbness). This position enables the feet and legs to share suspension duties with the flexible frame and wheels. The frame uses seat stays that run all the way from rear axle to the head tube, which allow the seat tube to flex back and down. The triangulated fork is actually stiffer than a regular rigid fork, but the giant low-pressure fat front wheel and Surly tire swallow bumps. You get great stability from the bike's low crankshaft and your ability to change hand positions on the multi-position handlebar. Put on skinnier tires and it flies on asphalt.
Dislikes: If you aren't social, you will not like being continually stared at and talked to.
Price: $3,800 for titanium Spaceframe and truss fork; less expensive steel Spaceframe available in December. (541) 535-2035; http://www.jonesbikes.com
Infinite-gear rear
Breezer Uptown Infinity: Deluxe aluminum commuter bike from mountain-bike pioneer Joe Breeze featuring a unique twist-shifter actuated drive train, the NuVinci 360, which has an infinitely variable transmission inside the rear hub.
Likes: Besides the superb commuter features — comfortable upright positioning, fenders, rack, kickstand, enclosed chain to keep pants grease-free and battery-free lights powered by the front hub that stay on for 20 seconds after you're stopped — the big story here is the smooth, seamless shifting. Instead of clicking through eight, nine or 10 gears, as with normal derailleur systems or internally geared hubs, the NuVinci 360 uses a maintenance-free "planetary" design, with a set of internal spheres that transfer power with the slightest twist of a handlebar grip. The top-end and bottom-end ranges are a bit narrower than you might find on a performance mountain or road bike but are ideal for commuting. A visual indicator on the twist shifter, which changes from a flat to a hilly profile, gives you an idea of what gear you're in.
Dislikes: There was a little bit of gear slippage at high torque; I kept having to retwist on hill climbs. And fixing a flat will be a hassle given the lack of a quick-release on the rear hub and the need for tools and minor disassembly.
Price: $1,269. (215) 824-1081; http://www.nuvinci.com and http://www.breezerbikes.com
Slicker front shifter
Diamondback Mission 3: Dual-suspension mountain bike with 6 inches of suspension cushion and SRAM's innovative HammerSchmidt crankset — a derailleur-free, internally geared, two-speed, front-chain-ring setup that is equivalent to a 22- to 36-tooth setup.
Likes: Front shifts are instantaneous and can be done under load and while climbing. Derailleur maintenance is eliminated. The chain won't break or be dropped during shifting. Being smaller in diameter, it has better clearance over rocks than standard rings. The chain is shorter (and lighter), and there's no real weight penalty. There are a few similar systems, but not for performance riding. The rest of the bike, featuring a 10-speed hub and Diamondback's four-bar "knucklebox" rear suspension design, ain't bad either; it's a nimble, solid bump-eater with minimal energy-sapping suspension bob.
Dislikes: As a two-ring replacement, the HammerSchmidt lacks granny-gear turnover on steep climbs — so I walked more than usual. And it isn't cheap, adding around $500 to the price tag.
Price: $3,800. (253) 395-1100; http://www.diamondback.com
Silky-smooth tandem tubes
Santana Exogrid Team Scandium: Two-seater with a "bifusion" frame made by infusing a cut-out aluminum frame with carbon inserts, which greatly reduces road vibration and fatigue.
Likes: Tandems can go super-fast, but the long expanses of strengthened tubing also transmit a lot of vibration. High-end maker Santana smoothes the rattling ride by inserting a carbon-fiber sleeve into an aluminum, titanium or steel tube. That causes "bilateral dampening," in which the vibrational frequencies of the different materials cancel each other out. Bifusion is used in the two strongest tubes of a tandem — the downtube and the bottom tube — with metal sections that are laser-cut and infused with carbon. In a four-hour test of two nearly identical Santanas two weeks ago, my 15-year-old son (and frequent tandem partner), Joey, and I found the Exogrid Team Scandium (aluminum) model significantly smoother than the regular Team Scandium. That would translate into much less fatigue over an all-day or weeklong trip.
Dislikes: Even for notoriously expensive high-end tandems, Bifusion tubing is hideously pricey, adding $2,000 to the cost of any of Santana's regular "Team" tandems.
Price: $9,250. (909) 596-7570; http://www.santanatandem.com

The dual titles reflected the reality of Msgr. Montondon's life. He was a Roman Catholic priest appointed by Pope Benedict XVI as Prelate of Honor to His Holiness with the right to the title of Reverend Monsignor.

What are legumes? Legumes are the seeds that grow inside pods. These seeds can be eaten fresh, sprouted, dried, and ground into flour. Varieties include garbanzo beans (chickpeas), lima beans, fava beans, black beans, kidney beans, navy beans, great northern beans, pinto beans, black-eyed peas, split peas, cowpeas, and brown, red, or green lentils.
Why should I eat legumes?
Legumes are loaded with nutrients that are important in preventing heart disease, cancer, obesity, and other chronic diseases. Nutritionists recommend several servings of legumes per week because they are nutrient-dense. That means they contain a lot of nutrients (such as protein, iron, potassium, selenium, magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, and fiber) in relation to the calories. In other words, they are a good deal for the amount of calories they supply! Even better, they have no cholesterol and little fat and they are relatively inexpensive. In addition, the soluble fiber in legumes helps to lower blood cholesterol, while the insoluble fiber helps to regulate the digestive tract and prevent constipation.
How can I include legumes in my diet?
Increase the amount of legumes in your diet gradually to avoid intestinal gas that may result during digestion. Here are some shopping and cooking tips:

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — — Albanian police have seized more than 1,000 religious and secular pieces of art dating from the 15th to the mid-20th century that were stolen from churches and cultural centers in Albania and neighboring Macedonia.
Prime Minister Edi Rama, who began his career as an artist, inspected the works and praised police for recovering them.
The thefts involved 1,077 icons, frescoes and other pieces, and two men suspected of planning to sell them abroad were arrested, a police statement said Wednesday.
After a four-month investigation, the works were found in two houses in the capital, Tirana, where the arrests took place late Tuesday. Officials did not provide an estimate of the items' value.
Culture Ministry spokeswoman Milena Selimi said the looted art was probably headed for sale in other Balkan countries or in Western Europe.
The recovered works were being kept at the National Gallery of Arts in Tirana, where experts will examine them and restore damaged ones.
Cultural authorities say much of the country's religious heritage remains at risk due to limited resources in a country where religion was banned for decades under communism.
Rama urged Albanians to help stop the plundering of religious icons.
"What little we have we must protect," said Rama, himself a painter. He made his name in politics as a mayor of Tirana who led a campaign to paint the drab apartment block facades with bright colors.
"If we lose this wealth, our history will vanish with it."

New Hampshire Supreme Court to hear convicted killer Addison's appeal this weekBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 12. 2012 7:53PM
The state Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Wednesday in the appeal of the man sentenced to die for the 2006 murder of Manchester police officer Michael Briggs.
Defense attorneys have appealed condemned killer Michael Addison's conviction and the death sentence imposed by a Hillsborough County jury in 2008.
Addison was convicted of capital murder in the death of Briggs, who was gunned down in an alley while in pursuit of a suspect in 2006.
In an order handed down Nov. 2, the high court set aside a full day for hearing the 22 issues raised in the condemned man's appeal.
Addison's attorneys have raised the constitutionality of the state's death penalty as an issue in the case.
Several other questions of law have been raised on appeal. The justices are being asked to decide if the trial judge erred in not changing the location of the trial, and whether prosecutors were unfairly permitted to raise "passion, prejudice or other arbitrary factors" in arguments to the jury.
Previously, Addison's lawyers lost a bid to have Justice Robert Lynn remove himself from the case. The attorneys also lost a motion brought in Hillsborough Superior Court to allow emails from then-Attorney General Kelly Ayotte and a political advisor to be used in the appeal.
A couple of weeks ago, a single justice of the Supreme Court ordered the release of a motion made by Addison's attorneys during the sentencing phase of the trial concerning his attempt to save himself from the death penalty by pleading guilty.
In that motion, the defense lawyers asked the judge to allow the jury to consider Addison's offer to plead guilty to capital murder with a sentence of life without parole, rather than risk the death penalty at trial.
In scheduling Wednesday's oral arguments, the court grouped the 22 issues into general categories.
First the justices will hear appeals concerning the trial court's instructions on the reasonable doubt standard for acquittal in a criminal case and whether the trial should have been moved to another venue.
Then, the court has set aside time to hear appeals dealing with the sentencing of Addison to death, including the legislature's decision to use lethal injection as the form of execution.
Other categories for argument include claims of constitutional errors in the court's refusal to throw out some of the prosecution's evidence, as well as the burden of proof issue.
Finally, lawyers will argue whether the verdict was influenced by passion or prejudice.
The morning session of oral argument will begin at 9 a.m. and the afternoon session at 1 p.m.
The justices announced that seating in its chamber will be limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
A source with knowledge of Port Arthur's City Council Incumbent D. Kay Wise's previous employment said Thursday afternoon that her assertion that she lives at 735 Stilwell is untrue and that the company, GP Industrial Contractors, based out of Port Arthur, who used to employ Wise, paid approximately $17,000 in rent for her over a 17-month period as part of her fringe benefit package.
Attempts to reach Wise for comment were unsuccessful.
Faced with questions regarding the legitimacy of her residency as she tries to hold on to her Position 7 seat on the Port Arthur City Council, D. Kay Wise denied that she lives in another district and said she is the victim of "dirty politics" from her opponents.
Derrick Freeman wears Port Arthur on his sleeve.
Born and raised in the city, Freeman has seen and experienced a lot of what Port Arthur has to offer; from his father having to endure the constant worry of "layoff lists" in the 1980s to the present day P.A., where as a married 35-year-old father of three, he and his wife, a teacher in PAISD, are carving out a life in a place whose future is as diverse as the people that make up the population.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Each and every musician should focus on developing a wide-ranging and original musical voice...
Careful observation of the past fifty years or so of musical study has identified two alarming trends — a rigid separation of performers from composers, composers from performers, (and audiences from both!) and an inflexible specialization by young musicians, training to gain a professional foothold in a rapidly changing musical world.
Musical societies in the coming decades will require musicians to be increasingly flexible, original, and to have an ever broadening set of skills. We believe that rather than simply fostering a steady accumulation of inert, skill-based knowledge, each and every musician should be focusing on developing a wide-ranging and original musical voice in order to become the type of artist who will thrive in the emerging world. Music education has to not only keep pace with change, it must foster change as well.
As traditional ways and places to make music evolve, musicians will be required to be increasingly original and entrepreneurial. Total musical immersion at the Center for Advanced Musical Studies will illuminate paths that develop individual musical invention in parallel with musical discipline.
~Edward Carroll, Director
The Center for Advanced Musical Studies is a place for talented musicians who share the mutual goals of exploring their personal voice and expanding their artistic capacities.
Rapid changes are sweeping the musical landscape; New and emerging musics, free as well as traditional improvisation, non-conventional ensembles, and new technologies/media are joining our concert stages at a dizzying rate. Many of our greatest artists are searching for new ways to re-interpret and present the acknowledged masterpieces of western music as well as experiencing new-found stimulation by collaborating with composers, composing themselves, and playing the music of their friends.
Most that are currently studying music are familiar with the large-scale cultural shifts, migration, and evolution of the musical marketplace taking place over the last decade, but simply don't know what to do about them nor how to respond. They are ready to jump into something bound with hope.

Missing Minnesota teen and Pierce County man may now be in Texas
Police now believe a missing Minnesota 17-year-old last seen in Red Wing, Minn., and the Hager City man she's believed to be traveling with may be in Texas.
The Isanti County Sheriff's Office said Thursday that Christin Bernice Swenson's ATM card was used in Kilgore, Texas, and they have alerted the U.S. Border Patrol to be on the lookout for the pair.
Authorities were alerted Wednesday that a transaction was made with her ATM card in Kansas.
Isanti County authorities are awaiting surveillance tape from where the ATM card was used to confirm their suspicion that the first-cousins are still traveling together.
Authorities have been searching for Christin Swenson since Tuesday. She was last seen at the Econofoods in downtown Red Wing Monday night.
The 17-year-old is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing 105 pounds. She has blonde hair and brown eyes. She was driving a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu four-door, pewter in color, with Minnesota license UGA 376.
Christin Swenson's mother, Mary Swenson of North Branch, Minn., told authorities her daughter works weekends in Red Wing. Police aren't sure where she stayed when in Red Wing.
Wade Swenson's last known address was N1368 790th St., Hager City. Lt. Dennis Sorenson of the Pierce County Sheriff's Department said they discovered Monday that Swenson had left his home.
The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Christin Swenson was interviewed last week regarding an assault crime.
Meanwhile, Wade Swenson has three outstanding warrants from Pierce County, Sorenson said. Two of the warrants are for misdemeanors and one is for felony theft by fraud from February 2007.
Call the Isanti County Sheriff's Office with any information on the case at 763. 689.2141.

Vital Records
Vital records are handled by the County Orphans' Court. Between the years 1852-1855 Pennsylvania made a failed attempt to record birth, marriage and death events at the county level. While the records for that time period are available, there were few events recorded. County marriage records were kept in earnest in 1885. Births and deaths, at the county level, were begun in 1893 and kept through 1905. Abstracts and copies of vital records are available for some counties, but most are incomplete. For the most complete set of records, always contact the County Orphans' Court.
Early births 1893–1905 are located at the County Orphans' Court. See the heading Court Records on this page for contact information.
Indexes for Pennsylvania birth records are available through the Department of of Health for 1906 and 1907. Once an individual is located in the index a non certified Birth certificate can be obtained by writing and sending $3.00 to:

We were thinking on a decision about games happened between Hydra and Zyrean teams for a long, looking replays many times, talking to teams, commentators and all admins and next decision was made:
Zyrean team wins Hydra with 2:1 score. Our rules about DCs/lags/DDoS are reworked now and no replays possibility would be given anymore if someone DCs when the game is usual.
However, if we see that team actually is winning: for example, shadowcleave is just finishing down their enemies where everyone is on 20% without trinkets, cooldowns and mana, and this shadowcleave gets DC, game might be replayed on admins decision.
Hydra team still has a warning cuz of their behavior and if they will show unrespect again, they will simply lose 1 point.
In Blue League Minpojke team was disqualified (on their wish) and is replaced with Rylez team called "Sonic Kids". Every team in Blue League gets +1 point (tech. win vs Minpojke), except Rylez team (penalty for late registration on tournament). It means that it would be a bit harder for Rylez team to get into TOP4, but still possible if they just smash most teams in group.
I was asked how much points teams get from each win:
If team wins 1bo3 and loses 2bo3 (1:2) then team gets 1 point.
2 bo3 wins = 2 points.
And what do we have now:
TOP4 in each group is needed to pass in 2nd round (Double Elimination)
If there will be several teams on 4th place in the end, then we look how these teams played vs each other. Winner in their own game gets spot in 2nd phase of Tournament.
If there are 3+ teams on 4th place in the end, and for example 1 team won 2 team, 2 team won 3 team, 3 team won 1 team, the we look at winratio.
And also we have test schedule for next weekend (probably wont change a lot) with super hot games and teams:
21.07.2013 - Sunday
Start - 17:00 CET
Nafig from the Beach vs Winter is Coming
Nafig from the Beach vs Reject Comp
25.media.tumblr vs USA USA USA
25.media.tumblr vs Bleached Bones
Second Place vs Bleached Bones
Every single game (VoD) after 4 day (when stream moved to http://www.twitch.tv/leagueofarenas) is available here.
Sorry for my english,
My best regards,

AC Milan have secured the services of Poland Under-21 international Bartosz Salamon from Brescia for an undisclosed fee, with the towering defender signing a contract until the summer of 2017.
The Rossoneri were in the market for defensive reinforcements following the departure of Francesco Acerbi earlier this winter, and they see Salamon as a valuable long-term addition to their squad.
Salamon, 21, joined Brescia from Lech Poznan at the age of 16, and had developed into an important first-team member at the Serie B outfit after a loan spell at Foggia in 2010-11.
The youngster had also caught the attention of a number of other Serie A sides, but has decided to continue his career at Milan and said he was ready for the challenge of playing at San Siro.
"I am very happy to sign for Milan," he told Sky Sport Italia. "I am not afraid of anything."
Meanwhile, the Rossoneri have opted to sell 50 per cent of Alberto Paloschi's economical rights to Chievo. The attacker is currently on loan at the Verona outfit, and has netted seven goals in 10 Serie A appearances so far.
Additionally, the San Siro outfit have sold goalkeeper Ferdinando Coppola to Torino. The 34-year-old already spent last season on loan at the Granata, and will now return to Turin.
