(AP) - Show Bits brings you the 65th annual Emmy Awards in Los Angeles through the eyes of Associated Press journalists. Follow them on Twitter where available with the handles listed after each item.
Kerry Washington didn't make Emmy history, yet it didn't stop the "Scandal" star from celebrating at HBO's after-party.
Washington was a popular target for partygoers' photo requests and she graciously obliged at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, Calif. Had she triumphed Sunday night, Washington would have become the first African-American to win for best actress in a drama series.
She perused the long dessert table but didn't take any before moving on to the bar. While Washington waited for her drink, she munched on three green olives stuck on a toothpick and presented by the bartender.
Michael J. Fox and wife Tracy Pollan, Emmy winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus and husband Brad Hall, Emmy nominee Alfre Woodard, Tom Arnold, Hamish Linklater of "The Newsroom" and Emmanuelle Chriqui of "Entourage" were among the stars at the crowded outdoor party.
Seth McFarlane, who hosted the Oscars in March, took a drag on a cigarette stub while leaning on the bar talking to pals.
Partygoers munched on Chinese stuffed bao with Cantonese duck, prime rib eye with wild mushroom scone and béarnaise, and paper wrapped halibut with heirloom tomato.

Claire Danes, Jeff Daniels and Ellen Burstyn were among the happy winners toting their trophies to the official after-party following Sunday's Emmy Awards.
A section of the Los Angeles Convention Center was transformed into an "Enchanted Forest," complete with trees sprouting from the floor, for the Governors Ball celebrants.
Hungry and thirsty guests indulged in filet mignon, short ribs and a special Emmy cocktail that tasted something like spiked lemonade. A rotating circular stage featured live bands and DJs playing dance music.
Winners had an extra incentive to hit the party: They could get their new Emmy statuettes engraved with their names at the "winners circle." They also received engraved bottles of wine.

Emmy "losers" had a party of their own across town. Ten-time nominee Amy Poehler and nine-time nominee Jon Hamm hosted a private Losers Lounge at Soho House in West Hollywood.
Nominees including Jimmy Kimmel, Zooey Deschanel and Elizabeth Moss were welcomed freely, but winners such as Tina Fey (who sported a statuette for comedy writing) were asked to give to charity before joining the festivities.
Poehler and Hamm toasted the losers and recognized the winners, who raised more than $30,000, with personally engraved bottles of Johnnie Walker Scotch.

With its big dance numbers, surprise winners and extended montages honoring departed actors, Sunday night's Emmy Awards show wasn't exactly conventional.
Twitter came up with a name to reflect that: (hashtag)weirdemmys.
A search of the term turns up images of Kevin Spacey slapping at a camera with an index card and Merritt Wever's surprisingly short speech.
In the site's usual snarky vibe, users made fun of the program's death montages and the backstage interviewing skills of actor Shemar Moore.
But most seemed to enjoy Michael Douglas' raunchy acceptance speech after he won an Emmy for playing Liberace in "Behind the Candelabra" and offered to split the trophy with co-star Matt Damon, who was nominated for playing Liberace's lover.
"Is it me or is this show really really really weird?" Access Hollywood host Billy Bush posted toward the end of the three-hour program that was nearly delayed by a football game.

Anna Gunn has New Mexico on her mind.
The actress filmed five seasons of "Breaking Bad" in Albuquerque. She told reporters after her Emmy win for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series that she's from Santa Fe and her parents still live there.
Now that "Breaking Bad" has finished filming and its final episode is set to air next week, Gunn says there are things about working in New Mexico that she'll miss.
"I'm going to miss the sky, the colors, the mountains, the people," she said, holding her award. "That's part of the heartbreak of the show being over."

Sofia Vergara's red lace Vera Wang dress couldn't stand up to the pressure of Emmy night.
It ripped.
The actress was seen fussing with the lace on the left side of her gown as her "Modern Family" co-stars were taking questions from the media backstage. When she stepped back, she revealed a tear.
Vergara said someone stepped on her dress but it could be she jinxed herself.
Asked on the red carpet before the show what she was wearing, Vergara quipped that she had on underwear from the "Kmart collection."
"But," she added, "you can't see that unless you rip the dress."

There was a lot to ponder in Michael Douglas's acceptance speech – BESIDES those sexual double-entendres lobbed at co-star Matt Damon.
Douglas, winner of the trophy for best actor in a miniseries or movie for playing Liberace in HBO's "Behind the Candelabra," closed his speech with a reference to his 34-year-old son, Cameron, who is serving a lengthy prison term for various drug crimes. Douglas said he hoped "they allow me to see him soon."
Backstage, the actor said it will be another year before he can visit him.
"I'm questioning the system," he said. "At first I was certainly disappointed with my son, but I've reached a point now where I'm disappointed with the system."
Cameron Douglas was convicted in 2010 of selling methamphetamine. A judge nearly doubled his sentence after he was found guilty of repeatedly breaking prison rules by arranging to get drugs. He is scheduled for release in 2018.
"If you happen to have a slip, they punish you," the elder Douglas said. "In my son's case, he has spent almost two years in solitary confinement."
Douglas said he's optimistic Attorney General Eric Holder might change laws involving non-violent drug offenders.
From the stage, Douglas also thanked his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones.
That was an attention-getter following the announcement last month that the couple was taking "some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage."
Zeta-Jones did not accompany her husband to the Emmys. She was in China this weekend.

Aaron Paul is not just the star of a hit TV show.
In a pinch, the "Breaking Bad" actor can even double as the guy who hands out the backstage Emmy Awards.
The producers of "Breaking Bad" warmed the trophy table to collect honors for TV's best drama, the actor began passing them out.
"If there's one remaining, I'm taking the extra one," quipped Paul, who was nominated for best actor in a drama series but didn't win.

Claire Danes got a warm congratulatory hug from Julie Bowen when the winner of this year's Emmy for best dramatic actress in a TV series bumped into one of the stars of the comedy "Modern Family" backstage.
"No great surprise," said Bowen, herself a nominee for supporting actress in a comedy series and a past two-time winner of that award.
"Are you going to rush home to baby?" she asked Danes.
"Baby's asleep!" Danes said before collecting her Emmy.

Inside the Nokia Theatre, there's been some notable reaction to some of the tributes and surprise wins and losses, including cries during the Cory Monteith remembrance and a few gasps when Jeff Daniels and Bobby Carnavale collected Emmys.
Pretty much everyone rose in unison, however, when TV legend Bob Newhart came on stage.
Jimmy Kimmel and "Modern Family" co-star Eric Stonestreet were among the first celebs on their feet for the standing ovation.
Newhart has had one popular show after another over the years, from "The Bob Newhart Show" in the 1970s to "Newhart" in the 1980s to "Bob" in the 1990s.
But the 84-year-old actor hadn't won an Emmy until last week when he snagged one at the creative arts Emmy ceremony for his guest role last season on "The Big Bang Theory"

He may play a pompous you-know-what on "The Colbert Report," but Stephen Colbert just may win this year's prize for the most romantic shoutout to a spouse by an Emmy winner.
In his own way, of course.
As he collected the first of his two Emmys, Colbert thanked his wife, Evelyn, or "Evie," for being "so cruel and sexy."
We didn't know exactly what he meant about the "cruel" part, but we didn't really need to.
Colbert also gave a shoutout, albeit not as romantic, to another partner of sorts – Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show," thanking him for "setting the standard and giving us inspiration."

The inclusion of young "Glee" actor Cory Monteith among individual salutes at the Emmy Awards was a tough topic on the red carpet.
Monteith, who was 31 when he died in July of a drug overdose, was chosen by show producers over such veteran actors and Emmy nominees as Larry Hagman of "Dallas," Charles Durning of "Evening Shade" and Jack Klugman of "The Odd Couple."
"Cory had a very special place in our cultural history this year," said Mayim Bialik of "The Big Bang Theory." "It's such a hard thing to handle either way. Different people are honored for different reasons."
Veteran actress Margo Martindale of the new show "The Millers" called Hagman, Durning and Klugman "icons for me."
"Everyone should be included," she said. "Is it that there could only be so many people and so little time?"
The individual segments were in addition to the traditional "in memoriam" piece that groups together industry members who died in the past year.
Monteith was by far the youngest of the individuals singled out and had never been nominated for an Emmy.
Others honored individually were "The Sopranos" star James Gandolfini, Jean Stapleton of "All in the Family," comedian and actor Jonathan Winters and "Family Ties" producer Gary David Goldberg.

Then he added, "What I was not aware of years later was his lifestyle."
And then came the punch line: "Yeah right."
Noting the longevity of Liberace's career, John added, "What a difference those 25 years have made to people like me... and me."

Neil Patrick Harris didn't disappoint. It just took him a while to get to the song-and-dance number everyone was waiting for.
It came right about the middle of the Emmys show – and it was most aptly titled, "The Number in the Middle of the Show."
In it, the Emmys host addressed the expectations – unmet – that he was going to open the show with a musical number.
"Opening numbers are so old hat," he sang. "Even Hugh Jackman does stuff like that."
Some "really sexy dancing," in the host's words, ensued.
And the many fans of Harris's terrific Tony-hosting gigs breathed a sigh of relief.

Diahann Carroll happily passed the torch to Kerry Washington as black actresses starring in their own TV series and nominated for Emmys.
The 78-year-old actress just wishes it hadn't taken 45 years to happen.
"I feel we're a little behind, we need to catch up," Carroll said on the Emmy red carpet.
Carroll was the first black actress to star in her own show who didn't play a domestic worker. Her role as a nurse in "Julia" earned her an Emmy nomination in 1969.
Washington stars in "Scandal," and was nominated in the lead actress category in a drama.
"We're all very grateful to the Emmys because they've been on our side," Carroll said, referring to the award show's recognition of African-Americans. "At the same time, we'd like it to be a little more with what's going on in the world."

The agent remained unthanked. So did the family, and actually everyone else, when Merritt Wever won best supporting actress in a comedy series.
In fact, Wever, of Showtime's "Nurse Jackie," spoke so briefly that we can report the entire thing here: "Thank you so very much," she said. "Um, I gotta go, bye."
Wever said backstage she made a quick exit when she realized she was about to cry. She added she wished she had given a shout out to her show's star, Edie Falco.
Still, her brief words were a hit with the Emmy audience – and the show's host, Neil Patrick Harris.
"Merritt Wever, best speech ever," Harris noted.
Was it the shortest speech of the night, if not Emmy history? The race is on.

With NFL football threatening to delay the telecast of the Emmy Awards, the show's executive producer comes on stage to show the Nokia Theatre audience a bloody clip from "Game of Thrones."
That, Ken Erlich warns Emmy nominees, is what will happen to the winners if they don't keep their acceptance speeches short.
Fortunately for the long-winded, the game ends just as the show is scheduled to begin.
That leads Erlich to make one additional announcement: The New York Jets won.

Let's face it, not all of us in any one area know all of the others of us around us.
Sometimes we see another S/Z-Chassis driver and, whether or not the car is modified, suspect that they may be a member here. Sometimes, it is further left to inference that we have been chatting with someone we've likely seen around without knowing it.
We've all seen "spotted" threads. I have decided, much in the interest of streamlining things, to stick a thread at the top every section to allow people to question and receive an answer as to whom it was you've just seen.
Try to be as informative as you can, describing the driver and their car, including anything that make it stand out, such as wheels/paint/aero/etc... If you can snare a picture, that would be golden, but not all of us carry our cameras EVERY time we leave the house. Yes, even camera phone pictures help, and I know that not everyone has a phone with a 2MP camera like I do, so we know that some will not be that great quality.
Do not bump your request, just know that if no one answers then then no one knows.
Name SPECIFICALLY date time and location (city and state) where you saw the car/driver, this increases the chance that THAT user will see, even if they did not see you.
"Kid Zelda" is NOT to be the answer to any of the requests unless it was, in fact, Kid Zelda that you saw. Only OG members understand that joke and most of us only find it marginally funny anymore.
Have fun and enjoy.

Although not really a show designed for consumers, the Indianapolis Dealer Expo still manages to generate some good gossip. Convening in Indiana each wintery February, industry folk really only have two things to talk about: the weather and industry rumors — since we're not a weather blog, we'll focus on the latter. One of the better rumors to come from the Indy show was that electric scooter manufacturer Vectrix is considering building its electric superbike concept, which debuted at EICMA circa 2007.
Allegedly looking to expand upon its line of electric vehicles, and feeling that the iron is hot for an sport bike offering, Vectrix has apparently been telling dealers it is considering resurrecting the Rob Brady Design concept. Considering Vectrix's storied past (and interesting dealer practices), it is hard to tell if this rumor actually has any legs, or if Vectrix is just trying to sign-up a few dealers for its current line of less-than-appealing two-wheelers.

|spilt open to reveal the gooey ganache center
September 1, 2011
Name of Cupcakes: Chocolate Puddlecakes
Occasion: HCB
Constituents: little chocolate butter cakes, with a slightly gooey ganache center
The batter for these cakes is a basic chocolate butter cake, with one exception. Rose usually uses water as the liquid for a chocolate cake, as she feels milk brings out a bitter edge. Usually the water is boiled and mixed with the cocoa powder to bloom the cocoa and makes a bit of a paste. In the case of this cake, a little extra water is mixed with the egg yolks and added in during the second stage of the two-stage mixing process. I suspect the reason for the extra liquid is to make the batter a little thinner, but maybe it is there just to make it easier to incorporate the egg yolks. I don't know; I'm just guessing here.
What takes this recipe from a simple chocolate cupcake to a deep chocolate cake is the teaspoon of ganache that is dabbed onto each cupcake right before baking. This little puddle sinks down into the cupcake as the batter rises around it, and leaves a little gooey center of serious unadulterated chocolate. The cakes themselves are the tender, velvety cake one expects from a Rose butter cake. There is nothing I would change about these cakes, including how rustic they look popped out of my silicone cups. (I did forget to grease and flour the cups, but most of them unmolded ok.)
These puddlecakes need no accompaniment, especially if you like your chocolate rich and strong. Otherwise, a little dab of vanilla ice cream would be nice, especially if you are serving the cakes while they are still warm.
Marie made these two years ago before the group bake through commenced (before Roses' Heavenly Cakes was published!). She used the Nordicware Rosebud Pan, and called the cakes cute enough for people to coo over.
I suspect the Molten Lava Cakes would be quite similar to these, as both employ dabs of ganache to get a gooey center. My Lava Cakes were quite a failure, so I don't have a taste or texture memory to compare to, just the memory of trying to make the recipe work for me :) With the Lava Cakes there was quite a bit more ganache per cake. With these Puddlecakes being as delicious as they are, I'm inclined to try the Lava Cakes again.

The Blind Man's Garden, the fourth novel by British author Nadeem Aslam, is set in Aslam's native Pakistan and in neighboring Afghanistan following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. A riveting if uneven tale, "The Blind Man's Garden" complements Aslam's "The Wasted Vigil," which depicts the interlocking and unenviable fates of several people during the same period in Afghanistan, with flashbacks to the Afghan-Soviet war.
It is also similar to the earlier novel in terms of style, contrasting enlightened visions of Islam with extremism, setting life-affirming explosions of color in nature and art against the morbidity of much of Pakistani society, and relying too heavily on coincidence to weave together disparate plot elements.
The story, related by an omniscient narrator who inhabits the minds of several characters, begins in Pakistan's Punjab region, in the fictional town of Heer (a name Aslam pointedly borrows from an epic romantic poem in the Punjabi language). Jeo, a young and newly married doctor so naive he is scarcely believable, gives himself a mission. "Wishing to be where he is most needed – to be as close as possible to the carnage of this war – he has arranged in secret to cross over into Afghanistan from Peshawar."
Only Mikal, his older and protective foster brother, knows of his plan and accompanies him despite the fact that he and Jeo's wife, Naheed, are in love. Through a series of sometimes jarring jump-cut sequences, we see Mikal and Jeo's expedition quickly go awry; the Taliban force the two into their ranks, then Mikal is captured by the Northern Alliance and handed over to the Americans.
The blind man of the book's title is Rohan, Jeo's father. Aslam lyrically combines Rohan's degenerating eyesight with his continuing grief over his late wife, who used to sketch drawings of their beloved garden. "Preparing himself for blindness he commits everything to memory as she committed everything to paper, painting the garden's flowers and birds onto his mind … The limes and the acacia trees seemed to mourn her, the rosewood and the Persian lilacs, the peepal and the corals, and all their different fruits, berries and spores, the seeds tough as cricket balls, or light enough to remain afloat for half an hour."
Later, his daughter-in-law Naheed applies paint to the garden's flowers, the newfound vividness increasing their visibility for a now nearly blind Rohan.
However, Rohan and Naheed face a more pressing problem: the fate of Mikal. When Mikal returns from Afghanistan – where Jeo has died in circumstances Aslam deliberately leaves unclear – he is a fugitive from the US army, two of whose members he killed when he thought they were about to execute instead of release him.
Mikal wants to stay in Heer and marry Naheed, but improbably decides to return to Peshawar, where he sought refuge after escaping Afghanistan. A member of the family that sheltered him there shows up in Heer being pursued by the law and asks him to deliver money to his sister. Once Mikal sets off, Aslam snips the last thread tying his story to reality by having him come into contact with the vengeful brother of one of the two US soldiers he killed.
Setting aside the implausible storytelling devices Aslam uses to advance the plot, his evocation of war's insidious social effects is chilling and profound. War is the great objectifier of people, herding them into cast-iron roles from which egress is rarely possible. To be sure, surviving victims of war may struggle to transcend the roles they have been forced into. With the death of Jeo, Naheed is made a widow. She cannot change this fact, but she might prevent it from monopolizing her identity. She wants to study and become a teacher. And she wants to marry Mikal.
Yet she had better steel herself for probable disappointment. In a sense, "The Blind Man's Garden" is about the terrible irrelevance of decent people in times of war. That Naheed, one such decent person, is also a woman, compounds her disadvantage. After Mikal returns to Heer and before he leaves for Peshawar, an emotionally ravaged but fuming Naheed tells him how she feels about the expedition that proved fatal to Jeo. "I am angry at him for going, and going without telling us. I am angry at you for not telling us about his intentions. I am angry at myself for not having detected it myself."
She then sets her sights on the region's political players and their actions. "I am angry at the Americans for invading Afghanistan. I am angry at al-Qaeda and the Taliban for doing what they did."
Finally, having directed her ire at all those who have upended her life, Naheed's energy seems spent. Aslam does not have to describe her voice or manner for us to know that they signify defeat, and that she has reconciled herself to insignificance and helplessness. She concludes her fiery outburst with the resigned question: "What does it matter?"

This is a column about nothing. It's kind of like a show about nothing, just less entertaining — and a lot less lucrative.
The nothing we're talking about is the blank space around punctuation. And for a whole lot of nothing, these blank spaces sure are something. A lot of people struggle with how to space after periods and around ellipses and dashes. But if you just note a few simple facts, it's easy.
Remember how back in the days of girdle-bound typists you were supposed to double space after every sentence? Well, that made sense back in girdle times. Old typewriters printed in "monospace" — a system that gave the same amount of space for every character, be it a tiny period or a capital W.
In this technology, double-spacing after every sentence kept each paragraph from looking like one big run-together blob. Those days are long gone. Word processors now make sentences distinct and easy to read. But a lot of people are living in the past.
One recent Thanksgiving, Slate.com writer Farhad Manjoo asked a group of highly educated dinner guests what they considered to be the "correct" number of spaces between sentences. "Everyone — everyone! — said it was proper to use two spaces," he reported in a 2011 Slate piece.
Manjoo didn't mince words: "Typing two spaces after a period is totally, completely, utterly and inarguably wrong."
I don't share Manjoo's passion, but I agree with the principle. So does every professional publisher I know of. These days, there's no reason to double space after sentences. News and book editing styles call for a single space to separate sentences. Academic and scientific publishing manuals allow for double spacing, but they also allow single spacing.
When it comes to ellipses, I do get a little emphatic. An ellipsis without spaces around it looks terrible. It can make a whole paragraph look amateurish, probably because it's so out of sync with the look of professional writing, in which style guides require a space on either side of an ellipsis: "Ask … what you can do for your country."
Spacing around ellipses can seem tricky when the text before the ellipsis is a complete sentence. In those cases, here's what most news media do. End the sentence with a terminal punctuation mark, most likely a period. Then insert a space. Then type the ellipsis.
This technically makes for four dots in a row, though the first dot is separated from the other three. "We cannot walk alone. … We cannot turn back." Some word processing programs might make that look as if there's no space between the period and the ellipsis. But as long as you typed one there you're safe.
Spacing around dashes is more controversial. When a dash is used in a sentence, either indicating an abrupt change in sentence structure or setting off parenthetical information, a lot of news outlets put spaces around the dash: "This day — a day we thought would never come — is a great day."
But the Chicago Manual of Style prefers no spaces, and most book and magazine publishers follow suit. But for dashes or hyphens outside of running text, for example in date ranges, time spans, lists or tables, no clear rules apply.
When you're writing about a person who uses initials in place of a first name, styles disagree on whether to put a space between the initials. News style prefers no spaces. W.E.B. DuBois. Book publishing prefers spaces. W. E. B. DuBois.
So with initials and dashes, you can often make your own spacing choices. Around ellipses, spaces are best. And after a sentence, just one space is best.
See? Nothing to it.

Android, as we are all aware, is a Linux-based operating system which was initially developed by Android Inc. and was later purchased by Google. It was designed for touch screen devices like smartphones, tablets, cameras, set-top boxes, etc… and has reached the hands of millions of consumers.
Over a period of time, operating systems like Windows and Linux have matured against threats, thereby diverting the hackers towards newer targets like handheld devices. Millions of Android applications are downloaded from the Google Play store by users, thereby exposing end users' email ids, banking details, sensitive details and messaging content due to insecure coding practices.
The users are either unaware or trust the apps to protect their sensitive data against theft.

Khetsun Sangpo Rinpoche provides an illuminating, expansive, and practical commentary on Mi-pam-gya-tso's incisive work on the Great Completeness view of ultimate reality called "The Meaning of Fundamental Mind Clear Light." Fundamental Mind begins with a biography of Mi-pam-gya-tso, after which Khetsun Sangpo Rinpoche explains the aim of the book: the differentiation of mistaken mind and fundamental mind. The main theme is primordial enlightenment in the basal clear light, self-arisen pristine wisdom. The emphasis is on being introduced to and identifying fundamental mind in naked experience through a lama's quintessential instructions.
News & Reviews
"The combination of topic, well-known authors, and accessible presentation of the material should make this an important book for practitioners. In Khetsun Sangpo, we meet Tibet's finest traditions of contemplative education, literary expression, and gentle courage. In Jeffrey Hopkins, we encounter an intrepid explorer and virtually peerless expositor of Tibetan Buddhist inquiry into the practical and profound. It is wonderful to read this record of their mutual interests and startling discoveries drawn from a collaboration that stretches over more than three decades." —Jules B. Levinson, PhD, Light of Berotsana Translation Group
"This collaboration is a valuable introduction to the concept of fundamental mind." —Tricycle

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The following is an open letter from Egyptian Christian Dr. Ashraf Ramelah, director of Voice of the Copts, to European Union foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton, who, together with leading American officials, has been working to reinstall Muslim Brotherhood rule in Egypt.
I have followed with great interest your latest visit to my native country of Egypt -- particularly your request to free former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi.
Sources in Egypt inform me that Egyptians fear that your aim to have Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood leaders released from custody and dismissed from their day in court. Without invitation from Egypt's interim government you answered the call from the Muslim Brotherhood to investigate Morsi's treatment under custody using this pretext to intervene in Egypt's internal affairs and violate the sanctity of the sovereign Egyptian state.
Your viewpoint and attempt to free Morsi is well supported by the most impressive of names from the international community, but is nonetheless unwelcome. The world tires of representatives from democratic nations using their platforms to aid self-serving factions -- in this case, the Muslim Brotherhood -- pursuing power at the expense of the innocent.
Thanking you in an open letter recently, Tawakkol Karman, Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, has drastically missed the mark in interpreting Egypt's recent events and given you encouragement to work against Egyptian pro-democracy fighters and embrace the enemies of freedom.
Falsely characterizing Egypt's new leadership as "coup leaders," Karman condemns the policies and procedures of Egypt's interim government calling them "only conducive to dictatorship and exclusion." Apparently satisfied to ignore the realities of Muslim Brotherhood terrorism, Morsi's anti-democratic policies, and the will of the Egyptian people, she aligns her opinion with Brotherhood propaganda in Egypt and around the world.
Hearing her comments, we now understand Karman's silence during Morsi's presidency when a Shariah law document became Egypt's constitution to the horror of the free world watching. The international voice she has been given speaks loud for the return of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization to Egypt's current struggle based on the false narrative that for Egypt's democratic process to be genuine it must include compromises with terrorists and enemies of democracy. But a fragile Egypt is not America.
In short, a misguided Karman believes that Egypt's current governmental status constitutes a return of the terror state. Her twisted view aids her in advocating concessions for the Muslim Brotherhood. She now pleads its case under the guise of securing an "immediate return to the democratic track." This is dishonest and dangerous. Like you, she has no legitimate business in Egypt. Still, she urges you to exert pressure on the Egyptian government. You have done so and it is wrong.
Just days after your return from your visit to Morsi in jail, U.S. Senator McCain also met with the deposed resident. Afterwards in Cairo, McCain met with Jihad Hadad, a Muslim Brotherhood spokesperson designated a terrorist by the interim Egyptian government. Like you, the U.S. Senator is intervening on behalf of terrorists ("political prisoners") behind bars in Egypt. Like Karman, Hadad urges a representative from a free nation to exert pressure on the Egyptian government for political ends.
Foreign interference against the will of the Egyptian population will create disastrous results similar to Syria where the Muslim Brotherhood is labeled freedom-fighters. What possible motive could international leaders have in manipulating a release of Egypt's network of Muslim Brotherhood terrorists other than to contribute to the destabilization of the region?

"China is ready to assume global responsibility"
Conference Chairman Schües reflects positively on the "Hamburg Summit: China meets Europe"
Hamburg (ots)
Nikolaus W. Schües, Conference Chairman of the "Hamburg Summit: China meets Europe", reflected positively on the three-day conference. The aim of this year's conference - to strengthen European and international participation - has been a success. "We wanted to live up to the name of the summit: 'China meets Europe'. We have achieved this aim." Regarding China's integration into the international economic system, the former President of Hamburg Chamber of Commerce said, "It was pretty obvious in our discussions that the People's Republic of China is aware of its political influence on the international stage and is demonstrating its willingness to assume the global responsibility that goes with it." According to Schües, the European Union should support this and help China to integrate further into the global political and economic system.
Besides the euro crisis and trade relations between the EU and China, the change in leadership in Beijing was also a focal point of discussions at the "Hamburg Summit". European Commissioner for Trade Karel De Gucht commented: "The way that China develops in the coming years is of crucial importance - not only for the Chinese people but also for Europe and the rest of the world." The necessary reforms will have to be kick-started to guarantee long term sustainable growth of China's economy. De Gucht again: "What is needed is a new balance that favours the market over the state and where consumption and innovation play much bigger roles."
Peter Praet, chief economist of the European Central Bank, referred to a current imbalance in the global economy. Speaking at the "Hamburg Summit", Praet said that the outbreak of the crisis had triggered a "Great Rebalancing" process at the global level. "It is a painful but necessary process, which is partly cyclical." The economist believes that the success of this rebalancing rests on the cooperation of all countries: "Each continent, America, Europe and Asia must continue making every effort to ensure that this process remains durable." Otherwise, the global recovery would be put at risk.
The "Hamburg Summit" is organised by Hamburg Chamber of Commerce every two years and has become the leading European-Chinese business conference since its inauguration in 2004. Since Wednesday, some 400 high-ranking businesspeople, politicians and scientists from 17 countries have been discussing Sino-European trade relations and China's role in the global economy. They have also been exchanging ideas on securing access to raw materials, "smart cities" and Chinese and European strategies in a multipolar world in various panel discussions.

Bruce Bochy looked exhausted, even after spending the previous seven innings in the clubhouse.
"Is it still Wednesday?" he asked the beat reporters who walked into his office.
Yes, and a happy Wednesday it was, thanks to Michael Morse, Hector Sanchez and a rotating cast of drop-in heros. This game had a little bit of everything, and a whole lot of scoring. The teams combined for 30 hits and nine homers. After scoring 12 runs in their previous seven games, the Giants hit that mark in the 11th when Sanchez smoked his first career grand slam.
The Giants had their second six-homer game in a year (San Diego, last September), but before that it had been six years since they had pulled that one off. Sanchez and Morse were the first duo to hit two homers in a game since Moises Alou and Pedro Feliz formed an imposing pair in 2005. And here's one last one: Brandon Belt is the first Giant since Barry Bonds in 2007 to hit at least seven bombs in the team's first 22 games (Belt has homered in all five parks the Giants have played in, too).
It was just one of those days, and of course we got this day after all the 2-1 games of the past week. And of course, because the Giants are the Giants, they made it interesting in the bottom of the 11th, still winning by just two runs after the offensive explosion.
The game story sums up a lot of it, but mostly, it answers a question: Should Hector Sanchez, clearly a very talented 24-year-old switch hitter, be up here, or down in Fresno playing every day. I know that's a bit of a silly question to ask immediately after his game-winning slam, but it was a viable one before the game. I asked Bochy, Sanchez, Morse and Buster Posey how they felt about the topic, and all were honest.
"His job is a tough job," Posey said. "Baseball is a game that you need to play a lot, but ever since he came up he's done a great job, especially as a pinch-hitter. He's gotten a lot of clutch hits. He's doing a great job, and I don't think that's an easy job he has."
The other answers are in that game story. As for the rest of the game, well, the hotel bar stays open late, so let's touch 'em all:
— You always start with the starter after games, but Matt Cain wasn't near his locker when the clubhouse opened. It had, after all, been a couple hours since Cain last walked off the mound, but his day could have been much shorter. Cain was down 5-1 after two innings and gave up seven hits to the first 12 Rockies hitters. But he ended up going six, and that ended up being huge.
"That's your horse," Bochy said. "He was battling hard. Considering the start he had, to regroup says a lot about him."
Hunter Pence tipped his cap in Cain's direction, too.
"It had been a pretty tough road trip," Pence said. "But Cain kept fighting, and not just on the mound. He had good at-bats, too. He led us there. His attitude leaked into us."
Cain said that's all he could do at that point.
"Those guys came out swinging it hot," he said of the Rockies. "They jumped up on me early, but I knew I had to stay in it, especially at this field. You keep going and give your guys a chance to get back."
By the way, Cain gave up one earned run over 14 innings in his two previous starts and took two losses. He gave up seven earned today and got a no-decision. So if you haven't already stopped paying attention to pitcher win-loss records, now is the time. (More on this later. #Machi)
— Morse is more confident in the Giants offense than you are. He might be more confident in that group than anyone not named Pence.
"Our offense, like I've said, it's such a good offense," he said after his two-homer game. "Something was going to spark us, going to ignite us. Today, I think, was that day."
Morse provided the lighter, hitting two homers that went 458 and 450 feet, according to ESPN Stats & Info. The players with multiple 450-foot bombs in one game since 2006: Edwin Encarnacion, Mike Napoli, Morse.
The new left fielder said he was just trying to stay short to the ball. It's working, and Morse now has as many homers (five) as nine Giants left fielders had last season in 599 at-bats. He's now hitting .442 at Coors Field, the highest average of any active player to get at least 10 games here.
Morse has a lot in common with Pence, including his desire to turn the conversation away from himself. When asked about his homers, Morse ended his answer by pointing towards the trainer's room. "I hope Sanchez is in the ice tub right now," Morse said. "He caught a long game."
— Pence reached base in his final five plate appearances. He's as streaky as it gets, and it looks like he's getting going on a good one. This just about sums it up:
Pre-Coors Field Hunter Pence: .181/.289/.278 Hunter Pence's current numbers: .238/.340/.381
— Bay Area Sports Guy (@BASportsGuy) April 23, 2014
— Belt's homer was the second by a Brandon. Hicks had a career-high three hits, including a solo shot that was the first by a Giants second baseman this season (his other homer was a pinch-hit job). Hicks was also at the plate when Bruce Bochy got ejected for the first time this season. He was called out on a slider that actually wasn't a bad pitch, but looked terrible because of the way Wilin Rosario caught it (and catches most everything):
Brandon Crawford was running, and instead of a walk that put two on for the pitcher (who had two hits Wednesday), the Giants were out of the inning.
"That's frustrating," said Bochy, ejected for the 61st time in his career. "That's a big call. You get the pitcher up and get him out of the way. Obviously I didn't think the pitch was close. It's even more frustrating when you're up here, I'll leave it at that."
— Oh, the balk. When this is part of your Wikipedia profile, maybe you're doing your job wrong?
In all, the bullpen did a decent job considering the environment. Jean Machi pitched to just one batter, but improved to 4-0. Your National League wins leaders: Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn, Jean Machi. He was laughing about it afterward, and was told that he's on pace for more than 20 wins.
"Oh, yeah," he said laughing. "But … maybe?"
— In the dugout, the Giants were quietly thrilled that Walt Weiss decided to intentionally walk Joaquin Arias (in for Pablo Sandoval, who has a stomach virus) and face Sanchez. They felt it was a better matchup because Sanchez loves the big moments and loves to go after fastballs.
"They were looking for a double play," Sanchez said. "I feel glad that they did it."
He got eight fastballs during a 10-pitch at-bat. The final one soared over the center field wall. Sanchez enjoyed his first career grand slam, which was the seventh extra-innings slam by a Giant (the last one was A.J. Yikes!). Sanchez had been cramping late in the game because of the heavy workload behind the plate on a humid day, and he took his time around the bases (via @gidget):
"It's a lot of feelings in that situation," he said. "Everybody wants to be the hero. I just felt the ball fly. I hit it well. Right at the moment when I hit it, I knew it was out of the park."
— One last slugger nearly got his chance. Interim manager Ron Wotus went up to Madison Bumgarner shortly after Sanchez's homer and told him to prepare to hit in the pitcher's spot.
"He goes, 'Really!'" Wotus said later. "That's a pretty good pinch-hitter, too. I didn't want to use (Ehire) Adrianza in that spot because it's still Coors, you never know. We didn't have another catcher, so if something had happened, we wanted to use Adrianza at second and put Hicks behind the plate. He told me he could do it, even though he's never done it before …"
It didn't come to that. It didn't come to a Bumgarner pinch-hit at-bat, either, but he was prepared. His cleats were already on, just in case.
"Oh yeah, I was ready to hit, man," Bumgarner said.
But Crawford flied out and Hicks grounded out.
"It's probably for the better," Bumgarner said. "It saves my batting average."

Why Do I Have A Severe Itch in Pubic Area?
I have read your responses, but am not sure–I itch severely where the pubic hair is attached to the vagina. I have tried creams, no lice or stds, use water, but I itch and scratch until I bleed it is that severe. I had a hysterectomy in 2006 and am miserable.
Vulvar itching could be due to a variety of skin conditions. It sounds like you have already ruled out an infection or infestation, but organisms such as pubic lice ("crabs"), scabies and yeast are some of the most common reasons for itching that severely.
It is also possible to have an allergic reaction to any product that comes in contact with that skin, such as menstrual pads, soap, shaving creams, detergents, etc. Be sure that you are using a product free of dyes or fragrances.
Other skin conditions that affect the vulva can also itch severely. These changes, such as psoriasis, lichen sclerosus, or vulvar dystrophy, can be diagnosed by a skin biopsy, and are treatable with topical medications.
Finally it is important to rule out a cancer or precancer of the vulvar skin, which can sometimes have itching as the first symptom. Therefore, it is important to see a physician if this problem continues so that you can have a thorough exam.

The worship of the Christian Church is remarkably different from the worship of any other religion. Only in the Christian Church does music serve such a central role in expressing the people's heartfelt praise and thanksgiving for who their God is and what he has done on their behalf.
Yet, how many times have we sung a song only to realize we are not entirely clear on the meaning of certain words, lines, and references? The shame of this is not our lack of knowledge but our inability to honor the Lord. Because singing mindlessly, that is with our mind disengaged from the truth being sung, or singing without an understanding of the meaning is the same as singing gibberish. It does not glorify God and it does not properly stir the affections of our own hearts toward him.
Thinking about this I have selected the first three songs that come to my mind in which we might pass over the lyrics without really understanding their meaning.
Fairest Lord Jesus
I love this song and here is why. The word "fairest" does not mean "just" as in "It was a fair decision." It means "attractive," "pleasing in appearance," or "beautiful." The first line is then exclaiming how beautiful Jesus is to those whose hearts have been born again. This same idea is present in the second and third lines. To paraphrase them, they say, "The meadows are beautiful! The woodlands are still more beautiful! But Jesus is even more beautiful! He is the most attractive thing to my heart!" "Sunshine is beautiful! Moonlight can be even more beautiful! And the heavens above are breathtaking! The thoughts of them make my mind turn inside out! But Jesus, O Jesus, shines brighter! He is more beautiful than all of these things! His death is more precious to me than all of creation because he takes my sins! He is the "Fairest Lord Jesus."
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
The second line of this song asks, "Hast thou not seen / How thy desires e'er have been / Granted in what He ordaineth?" But have you ever thought about it? What exactly does that line mean? Here is what I believe it means. "E'er" means "ever" or "always." Therefore to reword it slightly the line is asking, "Haven't you seen how your desires have always been given to you according to what God has planned?" Then if we consider the context of the verse, "Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth," we can see that this verse is talking about God's gentle care for Christians. It is asking us to recall how God has sheltered us and sustained us. Because of this, "Hast thou not seen how thy desires e'er have been granted in what He ordaineth?" should be understood as celebrating God's ability to sovereignly keep the hearts of his people desiring himself. This truth is at the very heart of the Bible! That through Christ, God has made and will keep a people for himself who desire himself and the things of God. What a wonderful truth! It means that I will remain a Christian until the end of my life, not because I am spiritually strong enough to keep myself faithful to God but because God mercifully sustains me and turns my heart to himself. It is what he has ordained. He has ordained that I desire him and for that I must give him all the credit and all the glory.
It is also interesting to notice that in the last line the word "aye" means "always," and not the more common "yes." As a whole the last line declares, "We will always gladly adore Him!" – And why will we always gladly adore him? Because he graciously keeps us. What an excellent thought.
Finally, the author of this hymn is addressing both himself and the assembled people of God. When he is speaking to himself he uses the words, "thou," "thy," and "thee" but when speaking to the entire congregation he uses the plural word, "ye." He is instructing his soul to praise God. Like this song I find it helpful to urge myself, often silently but sometimes out loud when I am by myself, to worship or delight in God. Most often I do this when I read or hear a truth about God that I know should elicit the sweetest praise I have to offer but does not because my heart is a fallen human heart. In those times when your emotions do not match the truth of what is being said, it is helpful to say to yourself, "Come on heart! Love the Lord! This truth is glorious! Love the Lord! Feel the goodness of what is being said here! Come on emotions, catch up with the truth you are hearing!"
Rock of Ages
There is a line at the end of the first verse in Rock of Ages which says, "Be of sin the double cure / Save from wrath and make me pure." I'm not sure when I didn't notice this earlier but this line points out the two sides of sin. First, sin defiles us making us impure. Second, it places us under God's wrath. – "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men." (Romans 1:18) – In this line the author is drawing our attention to the death of Jesus which is our "double cure" for sin. This is because on the cross Jesus took our sin upon himself and suffered God's wrath while we received Jesus' righteousness in place of our impurity. Therefore Jesus is the "double cure" for sin. He saves us from wrath and makes us pure.
It is my hope that this post will cause God to receive greater honor from his people and our hearts to burn more brightly with his truth as we worship him through music.
If you found this post helpful, please let me know by rating it. If it seems helpful I may make this into a series and explore the lyrics of other songs. I have given some thought to going through the new Baptist hymnal song by song. It includes both traditional and contemporary worship songs. As always, I invite your comments.

I get a .ccd error message when I upgrade, what do I do?
An error message regarding your .ccd files during conversion/upgrade means that, in your old CodeWallet file, that you had selected to associate a custom form definition file (*.ccd file) with your wallet to use custom forms.
CodeWallet Pro 2005 and 2006 will automatically try to find this associated file when it does the conversion, but there are other options also:
If you were or were not using any customized forms with your old wallet file:
Open the old wallet with the previous version of CodeWallet Pro
Go to wallet options, custom forms and unselect the option to use custom forms
Close that wallet - Re-open your old wallet in CodeWallet Pro 2005 to re-convert it and it should work.
If you were using customized forms in your old wallet file:
Try to locate the *.ccd file on your device and/or your desktop PC.
Place a copy of the *.ccd file in the CodeWallet Pro 2005/2006 program folder on your device. This is usually \Program Files\CodeWallet Pro 2005 (may be different on non-English language device)
Re-open your old wallet in CodeWallet Pro 2005 to re-convert it and it should work.
Note: After conversion, the *.ccd file is no longer needed by CodeWallet Pro 2005 or 2006.
