Everyday or no way?
What do you think? Should we all give up on cars and public transport and run to work or is it too much hassle?
I've just started run-commuting and so far love it and find it a great way to fit training into the day and avoid the tube. But have found hazards include wayward bikes and pedestrians.
I'm about to start part-run commuting! Planning to drive the majority of my 15 mile journey, park at a friends, and then run the remaining 3 miles into work. The last three miles in the worst traffic of the journey too, so it actually should take about the same time to run as drive.
Planning to do this once a week, and take a change of clothes with me to work the day before so they are ready waiting for me after I've ran in. Haven't actually given this a go yet!
Nice if you have the shower facilities at work but I don't fancy sitting at my desk for 8 hours a day with 10 miles worth of sweat dried on to my body
I sometimes do a part-run commute, unfortunately running the entire 8 mile route home gives me the choice of either running alongside a busy dual carriageway for a couple of miles or through the town where all the guns and drugs live - so I prefer public transport for that bit. Might change my mind when I get further in to marathon training ... could get some good speedwork done!
I have started run commthis in the past month, don't have a shower so tend to take the morning miles easier than the evening. It is actually the most reliable way for me to get to work, no traffic jams or unpredictable public transport to make me late! I got a great light weight karrimore bag to run with. I'm loving it so far!!
I am a big fan of run-commuting and even when I work from home, I still try to simulate the run commute with a 45-60 minute run before breakfast! It is the best way to start the day. In fact I wrote about run-commuting on the Guardian running blog recently - http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/the-running-blog/2013/apr/26/how-start-run-commuting and I look after a website all about the RunCommute at http://www.theruncommute.com. I think that running to work is a really excellent way to get fit, save money and do the environment a good turn!
i do it occasionally, 6 miles into work but I get the bus home. I usually just cycle.
I've just started to run commute as well, I've only done it 3 times so far, as I think I have to build up to doing it more frequently (it's 9 miles one way). I love it, and feel so much better for it than when I just get the tube. I agree with Harvey though that if we didn't have showers in the office I don't think I'd be quite so happy!
the problem is when to have breakfast...very hard to run on any stomach...and don't want to get up hours earlier in order to let a meal go down.
if I don't run to work I run before going to work anyway so breakfast isn't an issue. (usually on an empty stomach)
Big fan of the run commute, especially at the end of the day; you have to get home so you might as well use that time effectively. Plus it helps me relax.
Agree with Harvey, shower facilities are pretty key for morning runs and a good bag also makes a lot of difference. I don't like running with a bag so finding the right one was tricky. Using a Berghaus Limpet 20 at the moment and that's proving to be really good.
Yeah, finding the right bag is key for sure - I use the Innov-8 elite 16 litre and love that - it is so light! If I run before work or to work, I also do that on an empty stomach so it does make that much difference to me either as skotty says.
I work from home, so my run-commute is an out-and-back
At 16.5 miles each way that's a bit much for me at the mo. In the future maybe, but for now I think I'll stick to the motorbike
I'm very tempted to do this, I have run home on a few occasions, but with no shower at work it limits my options, I have purchased some waterless wash stuff so am getting prepared for the full to-and-thro run commute.
Only 2 things stopping me, other than fittness!!
I'd love the luxury of run-commute, but at 40 miles from my office, it isn't an option.
Part run-commute may be an option as I already run before breakfast, so leaving for work earlier and then running part of the way to work could work.
I did it a few times before the kids came along. Now it's hard enough to get everyone out of the door in time in the morning to even consider it, and it's a mad dash at hometime to get to the nursery before closing time.
Lunchtime is the only chance I get to run these days.
I would, but it's an hour's drive on the M60 for me, and we don't have showers at work, so apart from the fact that the run in would half kill me I don't fancy sitting at my desk all sweaty and stinky for the day - not sure my colleagues would be too thrilled either.
I'll have to stick with the car I think, but fair play to those of you who do run-commute. If I could, I would.
Have been run commuting since training for my first marathon in 2008. We don't have showers at work so I rely on wet wipes instead. he main thing is to make sure that the right kit is in the right places ie shoes, jacket coats. I aim to arrive at work for 6:30 so I have time to cool down before getting cleaned up and changed. I don't eat before running but cary an awful lot of sandwhiches in my OMM 20l back pack. For those that don't want to run both ways then maybe alternate journeys with a bike.
Would love to run home every evening but 60 miles is a push. I doubt I'd ever want to run to work unless there were showers - I sweat far too much!

Looking to build a city-wide surveillance network on par with similar systems in cities such as Chicago and New York, the Atlanta Police Foundation is in the initial stages of a video integration project known as Operation Shield.
Atlanta Police Foundation President and CEO Dave Wilkinson and Grant Hawkins, director of programs for the foundation, joined an SIW Webinar Thursday on the topic of "Defining Your Municipal Surveillance Strategy" to discuss the project.
According to Wilkinson, Operation Shield was born out of a vision from the Atlanta Security Council and when completed, will integrate thousands of cameras across the city from both the public and private sector.
The purpose behind the camera project is to create a force multiplier, which Wilkinson said will be accomplished through a three-pronged approach that includes video integration, real-time alerts and a radio frequency that will allow area businesses to communicate directly with the Atlanta Police Department’s 911 center.
The project’s initial phase, which is expected to be up and running in June, will include between 400 and 500 cameras that cover the city’s downtown and midtown areas. The video integration center will be co-located with the 911 center.
While some communities across the country have seen resistance to such systems, Wilkinson said that the Atlanta business community has been very open to the idea.
"The buy in was pretty simple. I think everyone understands the value of integrating all of these systems," he said. "I would say overall, it has been a real easy sell."
Looking to avoid some of the pitfalls of similar video integrations, Hawkins said that the foundation visited with officials in other cities including London, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles to ask them what they learned to create a best-in-class system.
"We’ve been able to identify the pitfalls to prepare for moving forward," he said.
Among some of the considerations officials are taking into account with the Atlanta surveillance system, according to Hawkins, include weighing the benefits of having an open system or a closed system, communications infrastructure (bandwidth, wireless, and fiber networks), camera resolutions, and the specialties of individual integrators. Hawkins said that the Atlanta system will eventually utilize a combination of fiber and wireless mesh technology.
Wilkinson estimated that the total project would need between $30 million and $40 million in funding. The project is currently receiving $3.6 million from a variety of sources.

In The Air Tonight Lyrics - Phil Collins
Review The Song (53)
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...

You're mostly wrong... | Reviewer: Steve | 6/5/12
The song was about his divorce. He even admitted this on an intverview. He stated that he hated Americans who approached him with the drowining rumour and it got more and more far fetched. He said he needed to get his emotions into music and he began to sing one time in the studio ona d995 of the lyrics to this song were mad up spontaneously. Searh Wikipedia for it, it's all there.
I adore this song! | Reviewer: Michael | 5/14/12

It is like the elixir of my life!! It has power that reminds me of the life that's in me... It takes me "THERE",...
The k boy | Reviewer: K boy | 12/11/11
As we all know that 99% of phil collins music always deal with lost love. I thought this music is about a man meeting his ex who have one time been a gr8 liar, and just want her to realise tha no matter how, ha can't be fool anymore.

"Ever hear that song by phil collins in the air of the night about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drownin but didnt and then at a show he" blah blah blah you know the rest. I doubt half these people have even heard any of these rumors ect ect. They heard eminem lol.
YOU ALL ARE DUMB ASSES | Reviewer: jim bob | 9/26/11
this song is about the time he was in a hotel and looked out the window of the 20thy floor to see a man drowning in the pool and he look over there was another man just watching him die...... this is about the next time he sees that man in real life not his wife you ass pounder Against all odds is about her get your phil collins game on tight

The real story? Not!! | Reviewer: Mr. Mykd | 5/29/11
@idiotsrbelowme, hey dumbass. The song is about his divorce. He was angry with his wife who cheated on him. He says "if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand. Its like saying if you were burning I wouldn't piss on you. Ya know, similar to if you needed help, I wouldn't lend a hand. You're dumb as hell @idiotsrbelowme
Just Like Every Breath You Take by The Police | Reviewer: vicioustyler87 | 11/16/10
This song, just like Every Breath You Take is talking about Divorce, watch the VH1 Behind the Music on Phil Collins. The Whole person drowning and the person not saving them is a urban legend like a lot of people have pointed out. Phil Collins is a great lyricists. Listen to the song, and imagine going through a divorce, it'll make perfect sense.
Come on, people... Really? | Reviewer: Ronnie | 10/21/10
Having arguments on a song lyrics page is stupid and people like "idiotsrbelowme" are just beyond the point of immature. If you want to find out what these lyrics have to do with, don't listen to random people who post senseless comments, just google it and listen to the one with the highest ratings. Don't post false info. This isn't a blog, it's just a place to post what you think of the lyrics so good job "Barb" for posting the kind of comment that the commenting function on this page was made for. If you disagree with this post, don't post your opinion on this site and think how dumb you would seem by arguing with someone who just turned thirteen. If you just really have to cuss me out or something, use my email and keep this site from having to go through the effort of making a "report this comment" button just because someone in the future gets offended by some immature person's comment.
love this song | Reviewer: Barb | 10/15/10
I've aLways loved this song. Everytime I hear it I think of Miami Vice (TV show not movie). They played it when, I believe, Sonny Crockett was driving on a bridge going into a dangerous situation and he stopped to call his wife who he was either separated or divorced from and asked her if there was a time it had been "real" between them. A very powerful moment.
Urban Legend, You Morons! | Reviewer: Anastasia | 10/12/10
The song has absolutely nothing to do with anyone literally drowning. The drowning signifies a METAPHOR of his relationship. Phil Collins, on MANY OCCASIONS, has addressed this strange phenomenon of the "Friend Drowning" urban legend, and has denied ALL ACCOUNTS of it being anything other than a song about his wife. If you GOOGLE it, everything that pops up explains EXACTLY what I'm saying...URBAN LEGEND!!!
Some of you need to check the definition, AND work on your POOR grammar skills (only makes you look like MORE of a moron after believing this stupid, false tale.)
You guys are morons. | Reviewer: Shannon | 8/17/10
He never witnessed anyone drowning. He never saw someone kidnap his friend. None of his friends drown. All of those are urban legends.
There are several interviews where he addresses these silly statements. He thinks they are ridiculous. He wrote the song because he was going through a divorce with his first wife.
Look it up.
haha | Reviewer: your funny | 8/5/10
Hey Just wanna say unless you can back it up with facts, vidoes, anything, it is pretty pointless to say what you think the true story is, and I advise (idiotsrbelowme) to shut his face untel he can back up what he said with any true facts cause his input is now pointles and he just wasted his life coming up with that lame review! thats it haha :P

Hey, all, thanks for the invitation to participate. We really appreciate your support of FNL, and I think you're gonna love Season 5. (Just a reminder that it premieres Wednesday night on DIRECTV channel 101.) Let me dive right into your questions:
Why does FNL have to end? Could you keep it going and going and going? Or does its internal coherence require that it stop now?
Creatively, the show probably could have continued, and many of us pushed for that up until the very end. But it just became too difficult to make the numbers work from a business standpoint, and the plug had to be pulled. Having said that, there is a certain elegance to ending the series after five seasons. It somehow feels complete. And with the advantage of knowing the show was going to be over, we were able to construct an ending that I think our fans will find extremely resonant and satisfying. But still … it was very difficult for all of us to say goodbye.
How did you create such a compelling marriage, and why are there so few other television marriages to match it?
From the beginning, showrunner Jason Katims had a clear vision that Coach and Tami would always be FNL's emotional anchors. Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton shared in that feeling, and they were very protective of their characters' relationship. There's lots of ways to test a marriage, and the challenge was to try to avoid the overly obvious and melodramatic. It just seemed more fresh and interesting to dwell in the details. The everyday stuff that happens in a marriage that makes it real and relatable. It wasn't always easy, but it did give us a center. And it felt different, in a good way.
A scene from Season 1 comes to mind. Coach comes to see Tami at Applebee's, and when he sits, she tells him to take off his hat. It wasn't scripted, but it felt so right for her character. So Coach takes off his hat, and Tami tells him she took a job as guidance counselor at the school, and Coach looks at her and says: "Wait, my school?" It was so great. Territory, surprise, insecurities, ambition. All in a moment. And you just knew … somehow they would figure it all out.
What other TV shows and movies inspire the creators of FNL? Do you model FNL on anything else?
Here's the thing about TV writers—we can be little shits. Lots of times in the writers' room, references to other shows and movies are used not as inspiration, but as ways to shoot down a pitch. As in, "Nice, but I saw that on Three's Company once." Or, "Yeah, we could do that, if we were writing a 1976 afterschool special." Honestly, most of the story ideas came from the writers' own experiences. We had a writer whose mom was a guidance counselor. And a guy who played college football. Even a kid who wrestled a hog once at a county fair. OK, not really, but it made for a good scene that got us to lunch. I do recall a discussion of the movie Miracle when it came out, and we loved the documentary Murderball, which loosely inspired part of Jason Street's recovery arc in Season 1. And of course it was always fun to talk about iconic football moments and try to figure out how to translate them into the show. But FNL was never really modeled on anything other than our own collective, ever-changing idea of what life would be like in that fictional little town of Dillon.
What's your favorite FNL episode?
I can't say the one I'm thinking of from Season 5, because it hasn't aired yet, and that wouldn't be fair, right? So I'll go with the first one after the pilot. That scene with Coach yelling at Saracen on the empty Panther field late at night gets me every time. And I love the ending, where we're close on the football spiraling through the night, and you don't know how the game will turn out. Will Saracen be the hero, or the goat? Vintage FNL.
I also love "Mud Bowl," probably because it was so much fun to produce. FNL is special in how it's shot—run-and-gun, with handheld cameras, little rehearsal, and lots of inspired, unscripted moments caught on the fly. I remember being on set in Austin, in the middle of a cow pasture, ankle-deep in mud as these huge rented machines made it rain. The last scene of the night called for Derek Phillips, who plays Billy Riggins, to celebrate with Tim after the Panthers won. Derek's call was for 8 p.m., but we didn't get to his scene until 12:30 a.m., so he had been waiting for a long time. I don't know how he passed the time, but when we finally got to him, he was feeling awfully rambunctious. So the director calls action, Derek hugs Taylor Kitsch and congratulates him, and then … Derek takes off running and dives headlong into the mud. Everyone cracks up. It's fucking great. And pretty soon, all the extras and other football players start doing the same thing. It turned into this huge mud party and we just kept rolling film and caught it all and ended up using it in the show.
Your favorite character?
Oh, man, that's like asking me to play favorites with my kids. Which I only do when they deserve it. I'll say … Buddy because he's Texas, Tyra because she's honest, and Grandma Saracen because she breaks my heart. But of course … Tim Riggins. You can throw anything at that character and he'll survive.
Emily, you said that for a couple of seasons, you've been wishing for a major, three-dimensional Hispanic character on FNL. You asked: What explains this blind spot, and does Season 5 give us a Hispanic kid to fall in love with?
I grew up in Texas, and I spent some time in Odessa in the late '80s (around when Buzz Bissinger was writing the Friday Night Lights book), so I think I understand at least in part where you are coming from. But I don't agree that the show has a "blind spot" when it comes to race or minority characters. In fact, I've always felt that we've gravitated toward those stories, rather than running away from them. Maybe the problem you perceive is with our execution, but not our intent—as you point out, we have had Latino characters with major arcs in the past, and I can tell you, there very definitely is a Hispanic character whom you can fall in love with in Season 5. I know we all did.
One of the strongest themes of FNL is the power of place: what it means to be rooted in Dillon, or to leave it. How conscious are you about how often to move the action outside the town?
Great question. The answer is, "place" was often a conscious consideration in our storytelling. We've always thought of Dillon itself as a character in the show. It's Devil Town, right? It has a pull on people. And without giving too much away, I can say that it's a theme that plays prominently in Season 5.
Are there other couples, on TV or in film, who make you think of Eric and Tami?
Personally, I love Phil and Claire on Modern Family. They feel hilariously real and flawed to me.


Caroline Kennedy has been picked as ambassador despite never having worked in government. Photo: AP
Washington: President Barack Obama has nominated Caroline Kennedy to be ambassador to Japan, moving to give a scion of America's most enduring political dynasty a diplomatic post that has often gone to political heavyweights.
In naming Ms Kennedy, whose appointment had been rumoured for months, Mr Obama is keeping with a long tradition of rewarding important campaign supporters with plum embassies. He recently nominated major fund-raisers to be envoys in London and Berlin.
But Ms Kennedy's value to Mr Obama has been less about money than mystique. As the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, her imprimatur on his candidacy in 2008 - along with that of her uncle Senator Edward Kennedy - elevated him at a key moment against his better-known rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
And it gave Ms Kennedy lasting ties to Mr Obama, something analysts said would be useful in Japan, where public officials and journalists have been buzzing with speculation about a Kennedy in Tokyo.
Ms Kennedy, 55, a lawyer, author and director of numerous non-profit organisations, has never worked in government and has no special expertise in Japan. But some experts said her lack of knowledge was outweighed by her connections to the Oval Office.
She shares that with other marquee figures who have been ambassadors to Tokyo, including former vice-president Walter Mondale; Howard Baker, a former senator and White House chief of staff; and Thomas Foley, a former speaker of the House.
"For those who say she doesn't know a lot about Japan, I say, sure, but neither did Walter Mondale," said Kurt Campbell, a Japan expert who was assistant secretary of state for East Asian affairs.
"What you really want in an ambassador is someone who can get the president of the United States on the phone," Mr Campbell said. "I can't think of anybody in the United States who could do that more quickly than Caroline Kennedy."

That makes sense then. I hope he gets well soon!!!
I thought we had to go back to PG by committee again... Lol
“I asked them if it wasn't too much trouble, if I wasn't being too pushy, if they could execute what we were trying to do. And if it didn't make them too angry, if they also wanted to play some defense on the other end, that would be great.”

The Lafayette and Central boys’ basketball teams had their season come to end Wednesday night in the sectional round of the state playoffs. Lafayette lost to Liberty North, 49-43, while Central was defeated by Fort Osage, 53-34.
At the Class 4 sectional at Staley High School, Lafayette allowed a 13-0 run in the third quarter to Liberty North and fell behind 36-25. The Irish rallied to within two points, 42-40, with about four minutes to go in the fourth quarter, but that was as close as they’d get and Liberth North went on to a 49-43 victory.
Lafayette was led by Jeff Leeson’s 13 points, while Xavier Kurth added 11. The Fighting Irish end their season 24-4.
At the Class 5 sectional at Independence Events Center, Central jumped out to a quick start and led 13-7 after the first quarter before falling behind 19-18 at halftime. That was as close as the Indians would get as Fort Osage extended its lead to 37-25 after three and went on to a 53-34 victory.
Central ends its season 12-14 as they were led by


I recently shared a post with you on theBalm Bahama Mama, Sexy Mama and Hot Mama, some recent new additions to my collection. It's clear from how frequently I feature theBalm, that they are a favourite brand of mine and I am always lusting after their newest releases. One of my favourite products theBalm do is blushes. As with all theBalm products, the packaging is unique, eye-catching and attractive with the running retro theme. The packaging for theBalm products is some of my favourite because they never use plastic, instead study, thick durable cardboard which never collapses, all with in-built mirrors and they close so securely, so there's no worry over mishaps like them opening up in your bag. For applying my theBalm blushes I like to use my EcoTools Blush Brush, which is one of my all time favourite blusher brushes.
My love affair with theBalm blushes started last Christmas when I bought Sophie Frat Boy blush (Beauty Chamber, 8.5g, £13) as it was on her Christmas wishlist. When I was buying it, I decided it looked too beautiful and had to order one for myself! Since then, I've been hooked on theBalm blushes and think they are an investment well made. Frat Boy is the most universally wearable of theBalm blusher shades, I think, as it's very subtle and light, but can be built up if you want more oomph. The colour is a perfect dolly pink and it looks lovely as a flush of colour on your cheeks; as if you're just slight windswept. The texture of the blusher itself, which is the same throughout the blusher range, is a very soft, light power, which is firm, yet very easy to manipulate and blend. There's never any problems with fall out, and the longevity and amazing pigment means these blushes last all day without the need to reapply.
Something worth noting with theBalm products is that they are all incredibly versatile. The powers, including their blushes and bronzers, are all multi-purpose and can also be used as eyeshadows or contour products. Each of these blushes works just as well on the lids and makes for a nice, subtle day-time look. Down Boy (Beauty Chamber, 8.5g, £13) and Cabana Boy (Beauty Chamber, 8.5g, £13) are the newest theBalm blushes to my ever-growing theBalm collection, and I am actually surprised I have fallen in love with them as much as I have, considering I thought I'd narrowed down my 'favourite' blushes to just a handful - these two were added straight to the faves! Down Boy is a lilac toned baby pink that's a bit more striking on the cheeks than Frat Boy, but still very flattering and would really suit paler beauties. Cabana Boy is becoming a favourite everyday blush for me, as it's a gorgeous deep rosy pink, with a very warm tone to it. It's a gorgeous choice for these Autumn days.
Next, I think I'm going to finally add theBalm Nude Tude Eyeshadow Palette (Beauty Chamber, £26) which has been on my wishlist for ages! Are there any new theBalm products in your collection?

Double up your wax rings
: You should be OK using one or more extender flanges on top of the existing flange to bring the level up;
: Also, both OATEY and FLUIDMASTER make "waxless" rings which automatically compensate for 2 to 3 inches of extra floor thickness.

Analytics firm Distimo has released a report analysing Microsoft’s Windows Phone Marketplace, a year after its launch.
More than 30,000 apps are now available, with nearly 1,300 new paid apps being added every month, and 1,650 free apps. The report also offers download stats for the (aggregated) Top 300 apps in the US Marketplace, claiming that they generate 101,000 free downloads and 20,000 paid downloads a day.
“Here, the download volume of the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace is 39 times smaller relative to the download volume of the Apple App Store for iPhone in the top 300 most popular applications,” claims Distimo.
Other stats in the report: 700 new publishers are appearing on Windows Phone Marketplace every month, and nearly 50% of all apps are available in all the 17 launch countries for the store. One third of apps are available in all 35 markets now. The most popular category? Games.


The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has written to the Chief Election Commissioner asking for action against two MPs of the Trinamool Congress including Union Minister of State for Shipping, Mukul Roy, for “gross and blatant violation” of the model code of conduct at public meetings in West Bengal’s Hooghly district.
Biman Bose, Secretary of the West Bengal State Committee of the CPI(M), in a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner dated October 12, said that Mr. Roy and Trinamool Congress MP Subhendu Adhikari, while addressing a public meeting, demanded that certain CPI(M) leaders “must be beheaded and their heads displayed prominently at public places.”
The names of the 11 CPI(M) leaders so threatened have been listed in the letter. The letter also said that the two Trinamool Congress leaders publicly declared that “women members of the families of CPI(M) leaders and followers would be subjected to gang-rape, and that their houses would be burnt down.”
According to the letter, some of the cars in the convoys of the two leaders flashed red lights and Mr. Roy’s car even sported the National Flag, violating the model code of conduct. The letter also alleges that supporters of the Trinamool Congress attended the meeting armed with revolvers, guns, rifles and explosive devices “in order to create fear and panic among the people” of the area.

1. Dora the Explorer grows up — into a tween make-up queen. I guess being a marketing tool specifically designed to suck in toddlers wasn’t enough.
2. Circumcision losing favor with U.S. parents — Down to 55 percent in 2003.
3. More wake-up clock options — I expect you’ll be seeing a review here. I have to get one.
5. What adopting a white girl taught a black family about race in the Obama era — Very thought provoking.
And because my daughter loves songs from the Sound of Music:

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) -- Olympic champion Kaillie Humphries of Canada has the lead halfway through the women's bobsled competition at the bobsled world championships.
Humphries and brakewoman Jennifer Ciochetti were timed in 1 minute, 54.17 seconds after two heats over the treacherous 20-turn track at Mount Van Hoevenberg on Friday. That was 0.41 seconds ahead of Germany's Sandra Kiriasis and Petra Lammert, who were just 0.09 ahead of surprising Elana Meyers and Katie Eberling of the United States.
The final two runs for the women are Saturday night. The first two runs of the men's two-man competition are Saturday morning.

I booked this hotel on line the morning we departed from England for the US, it was easy to book and I got a good rate for 3 nights. We found the hotel really easily after driving down from Vancouver. When we arrived we used the valet parking and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a large dish of delicious apples on the reception desk. We booked an executive room which is a corner room and a little larger, we were very happy with the size of the room and the lovely bathroom. Both the room and bathroom were very clean. There was a little bit of noise from the street, but this is a city centre hotel and you expect that. We opted for the bed and breakfast option, which meant the rate included the parking and breakfast. On arrival we were given vouchers to use each day in the restaurant attached to the hotel for breakfast. There was a reasonable choice for breakfast including various eggs, ham, bagels etc. On our last morning the restuarant was experiencing some kind of problem and they were unable to serve breakfast so we were given cash instead.
The bathroom was very spacious and there was an amazing small but very powerful hairdrier, so you definately dont need to take one.
Water and coffee was available in the lobby at various times of the day and also cookies were on the desk as well as apples.
The hotel is extremely well located and we were able to walk everywhere, we did not need to use the car at all. Shops and restaurants and Space Needle are all within walking distance.
The hotel staff were very friendly and even arranged to post a package for us and added it to our bill. Check out was speedy and efficient. There was also free wi-fi throughout the hotel.
There was only one problem on our second night and that was some noisy guests, the hotel staff were very apologetic about it and to be honest it can happen anywhere.
I would thoroughly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a central location in downtown Seattle.
Choose and executive room, these are a little larger and are corner rooms.

He spent the next year in Sweden as a NATO postdoctoral fellow studying
photoelectron and Auger spectroscopy with the Nobel Prize winning
professor Kai Siegbahn. When he returned to the United States, Professor
Rabalais moved north, to the University of Pittsburgh. By 1975,
however, he had come back to the South to join the University of
Houstons rapidly growing chemistry department.
Here Professor Rabalais has continued

I agree with the above posts..Protecting children from this horrible tragedy is a roll that Govt. should be taking.. But even more importantly to me is the question..When are people who chose to have offspring going to take personal responsibility for them?
February 3, 2013 at 3:54 p.m.
The above comment of poster #4 is just one more example of the mindset of the Govt. needing to care of ALL of the needs of it citizens...When do people ( in this case, the mother) take responsibility for themselves and theirs..

Poindexter Village, Ohio's first Public Housing Community was dedicated in Columbus in 1940 by FDR in person..All nationalities and races represented.. By the sixties, it became predominately black, coincedentally with segregation and LBJ"S GREAT SOCIETY... Just 2 questions...1. How did it get this way?2. What is the answer to the problem moving forward?
February 1, 2013 at 8:27 p.m.
Its the Loyers and the uniuns.. Or The liars and the unions..Something like that..Anyway, thats the problem
January 30, 2013 at 9:25 p.m.
OK...Should have said in their fifties...My Bad... Does that change anything for U Abe? Can u at the least say that they have a really good deal that is not sustainable? And this is main reason why college costs have have skyrocketed.. way 2 much compensation for staff and Administration...
January 21, 2013 at 8:24 p.m.
Dogman...U realize that a tenured Prof at State Univ. can retire at 50 with a six figure pension? Teaching 2 classes a day for four days a week...Of course what would a guy who spent most of his time on Sat in the O-zone and the other days at Filthy mcnastys,,,And just say something bout my mother.. Go ahead... And bet my wife would kick ur butt.. She weighs a buck fifteen
January 21, 2013 at 7:49 p.m.
Dogman Probably didnt go to college and bettin if his kids will or did, it will be on taxpayers dime..The cost of secondary education keeps rising at three times inflation.. Something has to be done... A couple years back our newly recrowned King suggested that college profs teach 3 classes instead of two to save some dough.. Good suggestion but quickly lost its steam since college profs were his voting kinda folks..
January 21, 2013 at 4:54 p.m.
The article is the truth,But that being said, I cant believe anyone can object to the Tea party's basic platform of Personally responsibility and Govt. fiscal responsibility.. Many wakjobs in the Tea Party and the other parties for that matter as well.... And the Obama second term agenda being outlined as Immigration and gun control is the ultimate of kicking the can down the road.. Our largest problems are the DEBT and ENTITLEMENTS and anyone that cant see that, has their head in the sand....
January 6, 2013 at 12:38 p.m.
Nice article .. I worked out in Emil Tanners basement in the winter of 71 and at an armory near Mooney high school in 72. Too soft a chin to make it to the Struthers Field House but had a great time watching my fellow stablemates compete there in the Golden Gloves.. Life lessons were learned..I agree with Jackie on the differences in todays youth compared with the past and this is in no way a dig on Jack but,,,Emil Tanner spent a great deal of his time with youth because of his love for humanity and the sport itself...Those days in his gym didnt cost a dime.. And good thing too.. I didnt have a dime...
January 6, 2013 at 10:56 a.m.
Obama definitely got the better deal in first quarter of this political football game.. He got some of what he wanted without giving an inch on entitlements or the debt.. Heck, he was given the go-ahead with printing up some more money for unemployment and pork such as wind farm credits...The reason John B. and Mitch M. gave in to this was that they think they will have more leverage in two months when the negotiations begin again.... And so what does the liberal propaganda machine say now... We didnt get much in the first quarter, were disapointed... It is their goal now to reduce the leverage gained going forward..

The wikinomics weekend news scroll
Here’s a summary of just a few of the wikinomics-related stories that have popped up over the last few days.
The Economist’s article The Challengers takes a look at the new multinational companies that are evolving in the emerging markets. From the perspective that the Ford-Jaguar-Tata story brings, to the data on Developing countries cross-border M&A, it’s a fascinating study of how the world is changing right now.
CIO.com has a nice little article on how Sun Microsystems is leveraging Second Life to facilitate internal collaboration and social interaction. The best quote provided in the mini-interview is: Up until now, Sun, like most companies, has used audio conferencing. We’ve used a little bit of video conferencing too, but a lot people working at home don’t have video because that’s their personal space. So we mostly use audio conferences. The problem with this is we’re not getting the social interaction and the informal brainstorming you’d get in person. We figured [we] can create a virtual world where you can begin to re-create that social interaction, and then we could really create a wonderful place to bounce ideas off each other, both as a group or just between two people.
We’ve talked about the potential for RFID tags (and related technologies) to bring about a lot of positive changes in business and society, while also creating some major concerns in terms of privacy (etc.). Think about both sides when you read this story about Ministers in Britain planning to implant RFID tags in prisoners.
While a lot of people in Western nations are focused on the rise of India and China as major exporters, one of the more interesting trends to watch is there trade with each other. This article in the Times of India sums up the situation nicely, and it will be interesting to see how India reacts.
The fact that confidence in many major financial institutions is going into the tank won’t surprise too many people in Second Life. To quote: “As of January 22, 2008, it will be prohibited to offer interest of any direct return on an investment (whether in Linden dollars or other currency) from any object, such as an ATM, located in Second Life, without proof of an applicable government registration statement or financial institution charter,” Linden Lab wrote on its blog Tuesday. “We’re implementing this policy after reviewing resident complaints, banking activities and the law, and we’re doing it to protect our residents and the integrity of our economy.”
The NY Times has a great article on “bruising Senate fight” over the Patent Reform Act of 2007. The quick version is that big firms are increasingly antsy about patent trolls and excessive leverage being given to small patent holders, while the “little guys” are worried about the big firms using their heft to trounce them.
Finally, Fred Vogestein has a great story in Wired entitled The Untold Story: How the iPhone blew up the Wireless Industry.

Bacic, D; Capuano, P; Gisler, S M; Pribanic, S; Christensen, E I; Biber, J; Loffing, J; Kaissling, B; Wagner, C A; Murer, H (2003). Impaired PTH-induced endocytotic down-regulation of the renal type IIa Na+/Pi-cotransporter in RAP-deficient mice with reduced megalin expression. Pflügers Archiv: European Journal of Physiology (Pflugers Archiv), 446(4):475-484.
Full text not available from this repository.
Inorganic phosphate (P(i)) reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule occurs mostly via the Na(+)/P(i) cotransporter type IIa (NaP(i)-IIa) located in the brush-border membrane (BBM) and is regulated, among other factors, by dietary P(i) intake and parathyroid hormone (PTH). The PTH-induced inhibition of P(i) reabsorption is mediated by endocytosis of Na/P(i)-IIa from the BBM and subsequent lysosomal degradation. Megalin is involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of proteins from the urine in the renal proximal tubule. The recently identified receptor-associated protein (RAP) is a novel type of chaperone responsible for the intracellular transport of endocytotic receptors such as megalin. Gene disruption of RAP leads to a decrease of megalin in the BBM and to a disturbed proximal tubular endocytotic machinery. Here we investigated whether the distribution of NaP(i)-IIa and/or its regulation by dietary P(i) intake and PTH is affected in the proximal tubules of RAP-deficient mice as a model for megalin loss. In RAP-deficient mice megalin expression was strongly reduced and restricted to a subapical localization. NaP(i)-IIa protein distribution and abundance in the kidney was not altered. The localization and abundance of the NaP(i)-IIa interacting proteins MAP17, PDZK-1, D-AKAP2, and NHE-RF1 were also normal. Other transport proteins expressed in the BBM such as the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE-3 and the Na(+)/sulphate cotransporter NaSi were normally expressed. In whole animals and in isolated fresh kidney slices the PTH-induced internalization of NaP(i)-IIa was strongly delayed in RAP-deficient mice. PTH receptor expression in the proximal tubule was not affected by the RAP knock-out. cAMP, cGMP or PKC activators induced internalization which was delayed in RAP-deficient mice. In contrast, both wildtype and RAP-deficient mice were able to adapt to high-, normal, and low-P(i) diets appropriately as indicated by urinary P(i) excretion and NaP(i)-IIa protein abundance.

D.D. Jackson: Suite For New York (2003)
James Spaulding is perhaps the most widely known of the musicians assembled for Jackson's suite, and his incendiary alto sax playing is one of the highlights of the disc. "Third Invocation" is a rare opportunity to hear him playing entirely solo, and he brings characteristic focus, intensity and depth of personality to his playing – if the city that never sleeps contains streets that do, then they've yet to be better evoked.
"Brooklyn Lullaby," which immediately follows, is perhaps the most affecting piece of composition on the disc. Such is the depth of its evocation that the listener isn't in any doubt regarding Jackson's fondness for the place, and it's rare to hear a lullaby featuring a swaggeringly bluesy violin solo – the playing of Christian Howes will be worth looking out for, if this is anything to go by.
David Gonzalez recites his poem "Eight Million Dreamers" on "The City: Awakening" and such is his portentous manner – complete with the desire to invest every word with sig-nif-i-cance – that his efforts add nothing to the music and have the curious effect of actually draining the words of meaning.
"Hopes And Dreams: Introduction" has one of those melodies that worm their way into the consciousness and happily also features Spaulding in full flight, albeit with the passing problem of questionable intonation. Again he does the work of setting the scene for "Hopes And Dreams: Main Section & Conclusion" which, in a kind of ambiguous reference to the events of 9/11, evokes a joyous, exuberant city seemingly able to overcome adversity through depth of will.
As a suite per se the music doesn't quite hang together in the formally correct way. It does however contain plenty of highlights and is of an order that pays repeated listening. It's also an example of jazz being relevant and of a player-composer responding to his surroundings, just as Duke Ellington did all those decades ago with "Harlem Air Shaft." It's also a damn sight more engrossing than any dextrously facile re-reading of Ellington's works.

Entertainment News Pop: Did John Mayer Fire Back at Taylor Swift in "Paper Doll?" Singer Addresses Rumors Rumors
John Mayer is addressing rumors on that his song, "Paper Doll" is a response to his ex - Taylor Swift's song "Dear John," Appearing on the Today show to promote his new album, Paradise Valley, the singer-songwriter said "Songwriters write songs because of people, about people. Anything someone else wrote is their reception of a song. I don't get involved in it. It's none of my business," Jay-Z's bold marketing campaign for "Magna Carta Holy Grail" paved the way for a Fourth of July brimming with high-profile buzz, but critical reception to the album has been somewhat mixed.The New York Times claims "Grail" is filled with "ups and downs," while The Los Angeles Times feels it's "full of empty boasts." USA Today, on the other hand, awarded the album a perfect four-star review. According to her mom Dina, Lindsay Lohan will be leaving the temptations of Hollywood behind for good by moving back to her native New York after she completes her current stint in rehab later this month.

Workers Demand Livable Wage in Hundred-City Strike
Fast food employees will walk off the job Thursday in movement's largest demonstration yet
Low wage fast food employees across the country are joining forces Thursday, taking to the streets to say: "Low pay is not okay."
The action marks the largest planned demonstration yet in a movement that has swelled over the past year, with workers uniting around the call for $15 dollars an hour and the right to form a union without retaliation.
What began with a series of actions led by roughly 200 workers in New York last November has grown into a national movement for a livable wage. Workers for such corporate giants as McDonald's Corp., Burger King Worldwide Inc. and Yum! Brands (which includes Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC) in over 100 cities are expected to walk off the job Thursday.
"We work for corporations that are making tremendous profits, but do not pay employees enough to support our families and to cover basic needs like food, health care, rent and transportation," write the protest organizers. "Too many of us are forced to rely on public assistance to scrape by."
According to the UC Berkeley Labor Center, the average fast food worker makes $8.69 an hour with 87 percent receiving no health benefits.
On the Campaign for America's Future blog, economist Richard Eskow writes that the 10 largest fast food companies cost taxpayers an estimated $3.9 billion in government health assistance and $1.04 billion in food assistance as low wage employees have been forced onto government programs. According to Eskow, roughly half of all fast food workers receive some sort of public assistance.
Meanwhile, as evidenced by an IPS study published Monday, the CEOs of those same companies are pocketing hundreds of millions in taxpayer subsidized benefits as they exploit tax loopholes, deducting "unlimited amounts from their income taxes for the cost of stock options, certain stock grants, and other forms of so-called 'performance pay' for top executives."
“I’m tired of working for $7.25,” Mary Coleman, a Milwaukee Popeye's employee told independent journalist Allison Kilkenny. “I can’t take care of my household, I can’t even take care of myself.”
“Everyday struggles are being able to keep food on the table, being able to get the necessities that’s needed for every day living," Coleman adds. "And then if you need to go to the doctor, you can’t afford that either.”
Ahead of the strikes, members of Congress including Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.), Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) issued a letter to the CEOs of the leading fast food chains urging them to raise the minimum wage for their employees.
“Too many people who work all day feeding fast-food customers don’t make enough money to feed their own children when they get home," said Ellison. "No one working full-time should live in poverty. It’s time for fast-food corporations to raise wages for their employees.”
And as Eskow points out, the workforce for the 10 largest fast food changes is greater than the populations of Nebraska, West Virginia, Idaho, Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming—"states which hold 28 seats in the United States Senate."

President Obama is expected to nominate Mary Jo White as the next chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
White, a former U.S. prosecutor turned white collar defense lawyer, spent almost 10 years as U.S. Attorney for the southern district of New York. She led the prosecution of mob boss John Gotti, and has spent many years defending corporations in white collar cases.
Dennis Kelleher, president of Better Markets -- a nonprofit group promoting the public interest in financial markets -- said that combination gives her "the experience, judgment and wisdom to be an accomplished SEC chairperson if she's confirmed."
Her first job, Kelleher said, would be to finish writing new rules put in place by the Dodd-Frank financial reforms. University of Connecticut law professor Patricia McCoy said that will mean breaking the partisan gridlock on the commission. Moreover, she said White will need to repair the agency's reputation.
"That task is not finished," McCoy added. and I think White has so much credibility that she's a good choice for rebuilding the credibility of the SEC."


The Washington Nationals are beginning to click and make a push toward the division lead. With the trade deadline looming, the questions will arise for every team in the hunt as to whether or not a big move will be made.
As with every team at this point in the season, there are moves that could be made, should be made and then the reality of the team's situation.
Are the Nationals poised to make any huge moves at this year's deadline, or will they try to make their final push with the team they have? Let's take a look at what the Nationals should do in the upcoming weeks.


The Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji Speedway produced a spectacle beyond words. It had drama, overtaking, crashes, spins, five different leaders, and more importantly, saw a former world champion go back to his former glory with a second consecutive win.
Fernando Alonso, 27, raced home to a second consecutive victory at the bottom of Mount Fuji at the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix. He, without a doubt in my mind, raced so supremely that no other driver could touch him.
On lap one of the Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton lost the lead briefly to Kimi Raikkonen, cut across his team mate Hekki Kovalainen, and then tried to take back the lead into the first corner, ending in complete mayhem between the Ferrari's and Mclaren's.
This one move nearly cost Hamilton the championship, but to add salt to the already open wound, he challenged Massa into the tight turn ten, and ended up being spun round by the Ferrari driver, placing him right at the very back of the pack.
Luckily for him Massa, 27, was given a drive through penalty for the incident, which placed him outside of the points. But if Hamilton, 23, being at the back of the grid wasn't enough, then you will love what happens next. He was awarded a drive through penalty for his incident with Raikkonen at turn one on lap one.
Hamilton's chances of a points finish were over at this point and there was nothing he could do about it, and if Ron Dennis thought that this was the worst part of his afternoon, then I wonder what he thought when Hekki Kovalainen had a hydraulics failure. I'm sure he was thinking what any die hard Mclaren fan was thinking, which I'm certain cannot be mentioned.
So that was it for Mclaren, both cars were not going to score any points, and especially with Kovalainen in such a good position to perhaps get a second win under his belt, which gives Ferrari a lead of seven points.
But as the television coverage clearly presented throughout the whole race, this particular race was no longer about Ferrari and Mclaren, it was about Fernando Alonso and his superb victory.
I mean seriously, who cares about whats happening with Ferrari and Mclaren when there is a BMW and a Renault leading the pack. After Hamilton's ordeal at the start, Robert Kubica was promoted to a spot which I believe is where he belongs, first position, with Fernando Alonso following closely in second.
Along with all the excitement of seeing these two drivers out in front, there was more drama at turn one, lap one, with David Coulthard being involved in an almighty crash with Kazuki Nakajima, sending into the tyre wall and out of the race.
Glock also had an early retirement, with Sutil following three laps later, but it was all about Alonso in this race.
Even though there was a BMW, a car which is clearly faster and more supreme than the Renault, he still kept a minor gap of 1.5 secs behind Kubica, so when they pitted, Alonso leap frogged him and came out leading the pack.
This Grand Prix showed the shear magnitude and skill of Alonso's driving abilities. Not just that, but his team mate Nelson Piquet, Jr. showed why he deserves to stay at Renault, finishing in fourth position behind Kimi Raikkonen.
Both of the Toro Rosso's kept up their impecible form finishing sixth and seventh, but Sebastian Bourdais (sixth) was given a penalty for dangerous driving out of the pits and causing Massa to spin.
Besides this tainted ending to the race, it was a race to remember with a former champion being put back on the podium yet again, and with plenty of action, drama and penalties thrown into the mix. The Japanese Grand Prix at the foot of Mount Fuji provided a brilliant race, and the question that remains is will China and Brazil provide the same.


All right, everyone take a deep breath.
I know that Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan seem to have finally put a lid on the Redskins’ Pandora’s Box. I know it probably took weeks and some improbable combination of Allen’s gentle coddling and Shanahan’s evil glare to finally convince Daniel Snyder that the NFL isn’t a Madden fantasy draft.
I know that the team has made a blatant effort to rid itself of baggage, namely the countless overpaid, degenerate has-beens who have been polluting this once-proud franchise.
Not only do I recognize all of these things, but I have also been a major proponent of the fight for the Redskins to change their ways. As a result, what I’m about to say will most likely come off as a deliberate contradiction of those beliefs.
While the name I am about to mention will surely generate gasps, screams, head clenches and similar stunned reactions, I believe that this move would not serve as a regression. Instead, it would be a momentary fix—a low-risk, high-reward experiment that can do nothing to worsen Washington’s current offensive situation.
So, here it is, my evil plan: the Washington Redskins need to sign Terrell Owens.
As I watched the 1-5 Carolina Panthers outplay Washington in every facet of the game last Sunday, one thing stood out in particular. The Panthers possessed something on offense that was severely lacking when the Redskins had the ball: play-makers.
Whether it was Steve Smith, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart or Cam Newton, Carolina had players who, at any minute, were a threat to make a huge play. The Redskins have a decent set of possession receivers, but none of them can stretch the field.
And now, with the injury to Santana Moss, Washington is about to find out what each of their young, inexperienced receivers has to offer for the future.
So for now, why not sign Terrell Owens?
The 38-year-old is an athletic machine, and even with offseason knee surgery, there’s no reason to assume he has broken down. Throughout his hall-of-fame career, Owens has been a guy who can make big plays and score touchdowns.
Those are the two biggest ingredients missing from the Redskins’ offense.
More convincingly, the Redskins lose nothing by signing this guy, even if he doesn’t have a single catch all season. This isn’t Albert Haynesworth. A player whose only offer so far is from the Chicago Rush of the Arena Football League isn’t going to be commanding that hefty of a salary.
The best-case scenario is they give him a one-year contract, he comes to practice humbled and ready to work (no one has ever questioned his work ethic) and he helps Washington win a couple of games. The worst-case scenario is he gets frustrated with his role, becomes disgruntled in the locker room and he gets cut.
The team loses zero draft picks and barely any money, so where’s the risk?
The NFC East is wide-open this year. The Giants are 4-2, the Redskins and Cowboys are 3-3 and the Eagles are 2-4. It’s anyone’s division to win.
Don’t you think TO would like a chance to step back into the division and compete against two of his former teams?
Remember, Terrell’s issues have always been in his head. His emotions have carried him to his highest of highs and plummeted him to his lowest of lows. This is a guy who (as evidenced on his reality show) cries more than a little girl with a skinned knee.
He cried after his first memorable touchdown catch from Steve Young, in which he held onto the ball despite being tag teamed by two defenders. He cried in defense of his quarterback, Tony Romo, whom Owens, just a few short weeks later, threw under the bus.
He’s probably crying right now at the prospect of never being able to play in the NFL again.
But you know what else he’s doing? He’s working out, running routes and motivating himself to get better.
As I said before, Owens’ work ethic has never been in question. He doesn’t get in brushes with the law or indulge in alcohol and drugs. He plays with his emotions on his sleeve and a chip on his shoulder.
So what better place for Terrell to land than on a team that the rest of the NFL seems to have cast aside, as well? It could be a match made in heaven.
Or it could be a disaster, but with almost zero risk involved, why not roll the dice?


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Preterism is a Christian eschatological view that interprets prophecies of the Bible, especially Daniel and Revelation, as events which have already happened in the first century A.D. Preterism holds that Ancient Israel finds its continuation or fulfillment in the Christian church at the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. The term preterism comes from the Latin praeter, which is listed in Webster's 1913 dictionary as a prefix denoting that something is "past" or "beyond," signifying that either all or a majority of Bible prophecy was fulfilled by AD 70. Adherents of preterism are commonly known as preterists.
One of the earliest references to preterism comes from Eusebius of Caesarea (c. AD 263 – 339). In his 'Theophania' he states:
But the things which took place afterwards, did our Saviour, from his foreknowledge as THE WORD or GOD, foretell should come to pass, by means of those which are (now) before us. For He named the whole Jewish people, the children of the City; and the Temple, He styled their House. And thus He testified, that they should, on their own wicked account, bear the vengeance thus to be inflicted. And, it is right we should wonder at the fulfilment of this prediction, since at no time did this place undergo such an entire desolation as this was. He pointed out moreover, the cause of their desolation when He said, "If thou hadst known, even in this day, the things of thy peace:" intimating too His own coming, which should be for the peace of the whole world. But, when ye shall see it reduced by armies, know ye that which comes upon it, to be a final and full desolation and destruction. He designates the desolation of Jerusalem, by the destruction of the Temple, and the laying aside of those services which were, according to the law of Moses, formerly performed within it. The manner moreover of the captivity, points out the war. of which He spoke; "For (said He) there shall be (great) tribulation upon the land, and great wrath upon this people : and they shall fall by the edge of the sword." We can learn too, from the writings of Flavius Josephus, how these things took place in their localities, and how those, which had been foretold by our Saviour, were, in fact, fulfilled. On this account He said, "Let those who are in its borders not enter into it, since these are the days of vengeance, that all may be fulfilled which has been written." Any one therefore, who desires it, may learn the results of these things from the writings of Josephus.
Proponents of preterism sometimes argue that this position was the original eschatological understanding of the Early Christian church, a claim contested by historicists and futurists. One preterist has been said to hold that the view was developed in the 17th century, a view also held by many non-preterists.
There has historically been general agreement with non-preterists that the first systematic preterist exposition of prophecy was written by the Jesuit Luis de Alcasar during the Counter Reformation. Moses Stuart noted that Alcasar's preterist interpretation was of considerable benefit to the Roman Catholic Church during its arguments with Protestants, and preterism has been described in modern eschatological commentary as a Catholic defense against the Protestant Historicist view which identified the Roman Catholic Church as a persecuting apostasy.
Due to resistance by Protestant Historicists, the preterist view was slow to gain acceptance outside the Roman Catholic Church. Among Protestants it was first accepted by Hugo Grotius, a Dutch Protestant eager to establish common ground between Protestants and the Roman Catholic Church. His first attempt to do this was entitled ‘Commentary on Certain Texts Which Deal with Antichrist’ (1640), in which he attempted to argue that the texts relating to Antichrist had their fulfillment in the 1st century AD. This was not well received by Protestants, but Grotius was undeterred and in his next work ‘Commentaries On The New Testament' (1641-1650), he expanded his preterist views to include the Olivet prophecy and Revelation.
Preterism still struggled to gain credibility within other Protestant countries, especially England. The English commentator Thomas Hayne claimed that the prophecies of the Book of Daniel had all been fulfilled by the 1st century (‘Christs Kingdom on Earth’, 1645), and Joseph Hall expressed the same conclusion concerning Daniel’s prophecies (‘The Revelation Unrevealed’, 1650), but neither of them applied their preterist views to Revelation. However, the exposition of Grotius convinced the Englishman Henry Hammond. Hammond sympathized with Grotius’ desire for unity among Christians, and found his preterist exposition useful to this end. Hammond wrote his own preterist exposition in 1653, borrowing extensively from Grotius. In his introduction to Revelation he claimed that others had independently arrived at similar conclusions as himself, though he gives pride of place to Grotius. Hammond was Grotius’ only notable Protestant convert, and despite his reputation and influence, Grotius’ interpretation of Revelation was overwhelmingly rejected by Protestants and gained no ground for at least 100 years.
By the end of the 18th century preterist exposition had gradually become more widespread. The first full preterist exposition was finally written in 1730 by the Protestant and Arian, Frenchman Firmin Abauzit (‘Essai sur l'Apocalypse’), who worked in the those time independent Republic of Geneva as a librarian. This was part of a growing development of more systematic preterist expositions of Revelation. Later, though, it appears that Abauzit recanted this approach after a critical examination by his English translator, Dr. Twells.
The earliest American full preterist work was 'The Second Advent of the Lord Jesus Christ: A Past Event', which was written in 1845 by Robert Townley. Townley later recanted this view.
Preterists, full and partial, believe that it is becoming increasingly popular due to more accurate translations of the Bible- with Young's Literal Translation being a key work.
The two principal schools of preterist thought are commonly called partial preterism and full preterism. Preterists disagree significantly about the exact meaning of the terms used to denote these divisions of preterist thought.
Some partial preterists prefer to call their position orthodox preterism, thus contrasting their agreement with the creeds of the Ecumenical Councils with what they perceive to be the full preterists' rejection of the same.This, in effect, makes full preterism unorthodox in the eyes of partial preterists and gives rise to the claim by some that full preterism is heretical. (Partial preterism is also sometimes called orthodox preterism, classical preterism or moderate preterism.)
On the other hand, some full preterists prefer to call their position consistent preterism, reflecting their extension of preterism to all biblical prophecy and thus claiming an inconsistency in the partial preterist hermeneutic.
Sub-variants of preterism include one form of partial preterism which places fulfillment of some eschatological passages in the first three centuries of the current era, culminating in the fall of Rome. In addition, certain statements from classical theological liberalism are easily mistaken for preterism, as they hold that the biblical record accurately reflects Jesus' and the Apostles' belief that all prophecy was to be fulfilled within their generation. Theological liberalism generally regards these apocalyptic expectations as being errant or mistaken, however, so this view cannot accurately be considered a form of preterism.
Partial preterism holds that most eschatological prophecies, such as the destruction of Jerusalem, the Antichrists, the Great Tribulation, and the advent of the Day of the Lord as a "judgment-coming" of Christ, were fulfilled either in A.D. 70 or during the persecution of Christians under the Emperor Nero. Some partial preterists identify "Babylon the Great" (Revelation 17-18) with the pagan Roman Empire, though some, such as N.T. Wright, identify it with the city of Jerusalem. Most interpretations identify Nero as the Beast, while his mark is often interpreted as the stamped image of the emperor's head on every coin of the Roman Empire: the stamp on the hand or in the mind of all, without which no one could buy or sell. However, others believe the Book of Revelation was written after Nero committed suicide in AD 68, and identify the Beast with another emperor. The Catholic Encyclopedia has noted that Revelation was "written during the latter part of the reign of the Roman Emperor Domitian, probably in A.D. 95 or 96". Additional Protestant scholars are in agreement. The Second coming and the resurrection of the dead, however, have not yet occurred in the partial preterist system.
Full preterism differs from partial preterism in that full preterists believe that all eschatology or "end times" events were fulfilled with the destruction of Jerusalem, including the resurrection of the dead and Jesus' Second Coming, or Parousia, and the Final Judgment. Full preterism is also known by several other names: preterism (because the term itself means "past"), consistent preterism, true preterism, hyper-preterism (a pejorative term used by opponents of preterists), and Pantelism. (The term pantelism comes from two Greek roots: παν (pan), "everything", and τελ- (tel-), referring to completion—another attempted pejorative label that never caught on).
Full preterists argue that a literal reading of Matthew 16:28 (where Jesus tells the disciples that some of them would not taste death until they saw him coming in his kingdom) places the second coming in the first century. This precludes a physical second coming of Christ. Instead, the second coming is symbolic of a "judgment" against Jerusalem that is said to have taken place when the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in AD 70. For this reason, some people also call full preterism "The AD 70 Doctrine."
Full preterism is often referred to as hyper-preterism by its detractors.
Partial preterism is generally considered to be an historic orthodox interpretation as it affirms all eschatological points of the ecumenical Creeds of the Church. Still, partial preterism is not the majority view among American denominations founded after the 16th century and meets with significant vocal opposition, especially by those denominations which espouse Dispensationalism. Additionally, concerns are expressed by Dispensationalists that partial preterism logically leads to an acceptance of full preterism, a concern which is denied by partial preterists.
Full preterism is sometimes viewed as heretical, based upon the historic creeds of the church (which would exclude this view), and also from Biblical passages that condemn a past view of the Resurrection or the denial of a physical resurrection or transformation of the body — doctrines which most Christians believe to be essential to the faith. Critics of full preterism point to the Apostle Paul's condemnation of the doctrine of Hymenaeus and Philetus (2 Tim 2:17-18), which they regard as analogous to full preterism. Adherents of full preterism, however, dispute this assertion by pointing out that Paul's condemnation was written during a time in which the Resurrection was still in the future (i.e., pre-A.D. 70). Their critics assert that if the Resurrection has not yet happened, then the condemnation would still apply.
Preterism holds that the contents of Revelation constitute a prophecy of events that were fulfilled in the 1st century. Preterism was first expounded by the Jesuit Luis De Alcasar during the Counter Reformation. The preterist view served to bolster the Catholic Church's position against attacks by Protestants, who identified the Pope with the Anti-Christ.
In the preterist view, the Tribulation took place in the past when Roman legions destroyed Jerusalem and its temple in AD 70 during the end stages of the First Jewish–Roman War, and it only affected the Jewish people rather than all mankind.
Christian preterists believe that the Tribulation was a divine judgment visited upon the Jews for their sins, including rejection of Jesus as the promised Messiah. It occurred entirely in the past, around 70 AD when the armed forces of the Roman Empire destroyed Jerusalem and its temple.
A preterist discussion of the Tribulation has its focus on the Gospels, in particular the prophetic passages in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, the Olivet discourse, rather than on the Apocalypse or Book of Revelation. (Preterists apply much of the symbolism in the Revelation to Rome, the Cæsars, and their persecution of Christians, rather than to the Tribulation upon the Jews.)
Jesus' warning in Matthew 24:34 that "this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled" is tied back to his similar warning to the Scribes and the Pharisees that their judgment would "come upon this generation" (Matthew 23:36), that is, during the first century rather than at a future time long after the Scribes and Pharisees had passed from the scene. The destruction in 70 AD occurred within a 40-year generation from the time when Jesus gave that discourse.
The judgment on the Jewish nation was executed by the Roman legions, "the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet" (Matthew 24:15), which Luke presented to his Gentile audience, unfamiliar with Daniel, as "armies" surrounding Jerusalem to cause its "desolation." (Luke 21:20)
Since Matthew 24 begins with Jesus visiting the Jerusalem Temple and pronouncing that "there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down" (vs. 3), preterists see nothing in Scripture to indicate that another Jewish temple will ever be built. The prophecies were all fulfilled on the then-existing temple that Jesus spoke about and that was subsequently destroyed within that generation.
; ; :
When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”
Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
“Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom of God with power.”
This predicted event has been variously interpreted as referring to: (1) Jesus' transfiguration; (2) his resurrection; (3) the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost; (4) the spread of the kingdom through the preaching of the early church; (5) the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem in AD 70; or (6) the second coming and final establishment of the kingdom. View (6) is unacceptable to many preterists because it implies that Jesus was mistaken about the timing of his return. Many preterists believe the immediate context seems to indicate the first view, the transfiguration, which immediately follows ( ; ; ). This view seems to satisfy that "some" disciples would see the glory of the Son of Man, but it does not satisfy that "he will repay every man for what he has done." the same situation occurs with views (2) through (4). Only view (5) of the judgment on Jerusalem in AD 70 appears to satisfy both conditions (reinforced with ), as a preterist would argue.

When Stuart Levine needed to get something off his chest, he usually called his buddy, the doctor.
That is, Dr. Robert Weinstein.
Weinstein's never figured prominently in the multi-year Blagojevich probe, but he's a figure worth noting.
Tomorrow he'll be sentenced in federal court after he pleaded guilty to a tax fraud count.
Levine, a member of two state boards, who turned into one of the most significant cooperators this town has seen in some time, bounced his crooked ideas off of Weinstein.
The two laughed about Levine's attempts to shake people down.
They plotted together about funneling illicit cash.
They created a charity just so they could rip off another charity.
And it was all caught on tape.
Their conversations were played at last year's trial of convicted influence peddler Tony Rezko.
Levine's confessions to Weinstein led the FBI in all kinds of directions including to Rezko's door.
Levine, who separately admitted to all-night binges on cocaine and Crystal Meth with other men at the now-shuttered Purple Hotel, at one point tells Weinstein about a multi-million kickback scheme.
"I'm drooling," Levine confesses.
Weinstein warns him: "Don't salivate."
Weinstein could face up to three years in prison for not disclosing he stole $3 million from a charity.
Dr. Weinstein to face the music

The Copper mines were in Bingham Canyon. Many immigrants worked there including my grandfather who was from Greece. He was best friends with a Louis Boutsis who immigrated from Greece. Louis died in about 1946. He was the God Father to my Uncle Gust. Louis is buried in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in the Greek section, which is right close to the University of Utah. I do have a picture of Louis as well as the grave site if you are interested.

A superhero has been unmasked! Namely, the patriarchy-smashing Twitter superhero of feminism, the Feminist Hulk (@feministhulk)! In an interview with Ms. Magazine, the Feminist Hulk came out as 28-year-old Jessica Lawson. Lawson is a new mother as well as a Ph.D English Lit candidate at the University of Iowa. Lawson describes herself as a “white, vegan, queer, woman-identified female.” She released the Feminist Hulk into the Twitterverse over a year ago, and since then he (the Feminist Hulk) has gained more than 45,000 followers.
