Know: King Saul impatiently offered a burnt offering to God, breaking the command of the Lord.
Think: Have the mindset that obedience is always the best choice.
Do: Commit to obey the Lord in every area of life, no matter the circumstances.
B1 Background: Israel was having problems with the Philistines. The Philistines were lording it over Israel and stealing from them. There was a garrison of soldiers at Gibeah.
C1 1 Samuel 7:7 NRSV When the Philistines heard that the people of Israel had gathered at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the people of Israel heard of it they were afraid of the Philistines.
C2 1 Samuel 13:3-4 NRSV Jonathan defeated the garrison of the Philistines that was at Geba; and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear!" 4 When all Israel heard that Saul had defeated the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become odious to the Philistines, the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.
C3 The actions of Jonathan infuriated the Philistines, who gathered their soldiers to fight Israel. 1 Samuel 13:5 GW The Philistines assembled to fight against Israel. They had 30,000 chariots, 6,000 horsemen, and as many soldiers as the sand on the seashore. They camped at Michmash, east of Beth Aven.
C4 The Hebrews were terrified and most ran and hid. 1 Samuel 13:6-7 GW When the Israelites saw they were in trouble because the army was hard-pressed, they hid in caves, in thorny thickets, among rocks, in pits, and in cisterns. 7 Some Hebrews crossed the Jordan River into the territory of Gad and Gilead. But Saul remained in Gilgal, and all the people who followed him trembled in fear.
D1 What is the difference? Give an example.
D2 When is disobedience required for the Christian?
D3 When is obedience required for the Christian?
D4 What or who makes the difference?
C2 What is the difference between obedience and disobedience in the following?
D1 Romans 5:19 NKJV For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.
D2 John 14:15 NKJV If you love Me, keep My commandments.
D3 1 John 3:4-7 WEL Everyone doing sin also is doing lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you are aware that he appeared to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. 6 Everyone remaining in him does not keep on sinning. Everyone who keeps on sinning has not seen or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you; he who is doing what is right is righteous just as he is righteous.
C3 What did the Apostles do differently than Saul?
D1 1 Samuel 15:23 NKJV For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king.
C1 Seven days: 1 Samuel 10:8 NKJV You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and surely I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and make sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days you shall wait, till I come to you and show you what you should do.
C2 Did King Saul not understand what Samuel say?
C1 Why did King Saul not wait? Was his excuse acceptable?
C2 What does waiting have to do with obedience to God? How does impatience cause difficulties in our lives?
C3 When King Saul states, "You did not come within the days appointed," what is Saul doing? (He is making excuses).
D1 By making excuses, Saul was NOT facing reality. He was NOT acknowledging the truth. The truth was that he was to wait.
D2 How do making choices affect our Christian life?
D4 We use a compass to help us with directions. How can you apply this to Saul's situation?
C2 When are we to rebuke someone? What standard are we to use?
C3 How does this verse apply to King Saul's actions: Proverbs 12:15 NKJV The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise? How does it apply to us?
C4 Have you ever made a foolish decision? How did it turn out? (You don't have to response, just think about it). How would you advise another person facing the same situation?
C5 What did King Saul lose? Was there any repentance? Could this judgment be reversed?
C6 Do Christians today lose blessings like King Saul did?
C7 Can you think of examples of Christians forfeiting God's blessings?
C8 Now God is going to seek a man after his own heart, that is, loyal. Samuel is referring to David, whom he has not met—yet. What is the difference between King Saul and King David? A few translations render this: 1 Samuel 13:14 NET But now your kingdom will not continue! The LORD has sought out for himself a man who is loyal to him and the LORD has appointed him to be leader over his people, for you have not obeyed what the LORD commanded you.
C1 The Philistines are trying to surround King Saul and his small army of 600.
C2 Before King Saul sinned, he had 2,000 soldiers, and General Jonathan, his son, had 1,000.
C1 Why did the Israelites have so few swords and no blacksmith? (The Philistines had oppressed Israel to the extent that there was so little).
C2 What were the reasons the Philistines did not allow blacksmiths in Israel?
C1 Does the situation look bleak?
C2 What are we to do when our life, as a Christian, looks bleak?
C3 How do we have hope in a hopeless world?
C4 How do we have hope when we have sinned?
C1 Psalms 42:5 GNB Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God.
C2 Psalms 119:114 NKJV You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.
C3 Titus 2:13 NKJV Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

What Do the Results of the Parliamentary Elections in Iraq Testify to?
Given this political alignment in Iraq, a faint outline of an inclusive government could emerge in the near future. This scenario is possible if the Shiite political groups agree on the representation of all groups of political influence.
The parliamentary elections held in Iraq on October 10, 2021 led to significant transformations in the political reality of the country, based on the content of the electoral reforms, thanks to which these elections took place. The defeated Shiite political alliances expressed strong opposition to the vote, which escalated tensions between them and the Iraqi government. This circumstance became the main reason for criticizing the Prime Minister of Iraq, Mustafa al-Kazimi, who nevertheless continues to fight for influence on the political situation in the hope of strengthening his status as a "triumphant".
It is worth noting that the postponement of the Iraqi parliamentary elections to October 10, 2021 was the result of a popular uprising that began in October 2019 and led to the overthrow of the head of the national government, Adel Abdul Mahdi. In this regard, the formation of a new representative body of state power has become the main priority of the new head of the transitional cabinet of ministers, Mustafa al-Kazimi. For this reason alone, a series of political reforms began in Iraq aimed at preparing an appropriate platform for holding a popular vote. In particular, a new procedure for the nomination of candidates was introduced with the participation of several electoral districts. In addition, independent candidates, as well as political parties formed after October 2019, received the right to run. However, the most important innovation was that the current head of the transitional government refused to participate in the parliamentary elections due to the agreements reached with Shiite political groups.
As a result of the reforms carried out, the results of the elections were quite unexpected, especially with regard to the distribution of deputy mandates among political parties. The most notable changes occurred in the bloc of Muqtada al-Sadr, which won 73 seats in parliament, while the opposition al-Fateh alliance won only 17 seats. Representation of the faction headed by the former head of the Iraqi government Haider al-Abadi and the leader of the Al-Hakmiya movement Ammar al-Hakim has significantly decreased. In addition, the loss of electoral confidence led to a reduction in the positions of the National Treaty alliance under the auspices of the head of the People's Mobilization Directorate Faleh al-Fayyad, as well as the leaders of the Shiite groups Bahi al-Araji, Abdul-Hussein Abtan and Adnan al-Zarfi.
The Sunni political camp has also undergone significant changes. In particular, the alliance, led by Speaker of Parliament Muhammad al-Hablusi, won 37 seats. At the same time, other representatives of the Sunnis, such as Sheikh Khamis al-Khanjar, Osama al-Nujaifi, Salim al-Jiburi, Salman al-Jumaili, Qasem al-Fahdawi, Dafer al-Ani, Muhammad al-Karbuli, Ahmed al-Masari and Rashid al-Azzawi, contrary to their own expectations, received minimal support in the elections.
The reason for such a sharp decline in the role of the Sunni camp is that its representatives reacted rather poorly to popular appeals and almost completely distanced themselves from the electoral struggle, which was especially noticeable in the province of Baghdad, where Shiite leaders were able to conduct a fairly professional election campaign, thus eclipsing, their competitors.
Thus, the active position of Muqtada al-Sadr regarding the defragmentation of constituencies in proportion to the content of his social domination, served as the reason for the strengthening of the influence of his movement in the Iraqi parliament. Nevertheless, the controversial role that the militia began to play in Baghdad led to the fact that the Al-Fateh alliance, consisting mainly of leaders of armed groups who act from positions of military resistance to any attempts to pressure the Iraqi electorate, received relatively small number of votes.
It is also worth noting that the victory of the Shiites in Iraq was dictated by their promises not to create a foundation for general enmity in the country. Moreover, they came up with an initiative for a relative normalization of relations with the West and the United States, in particular. This would make it possible to focus the main attention of the Iraqi leadership on solving their own national problems, without being distracted by the sorting out of relations with Washington. This "conciliatory" position of most of Iraq's Shiite leaders has become the main motive for the Iraqi electorate, which is simply tired of endless wars and internal conflicts that devastate the country's resources.
Given this political alignment in Iraq, a faint outline of an inclusive government could emerge in the near future. This scenario is possible if the Shiite political groups agree on the representation of all groups of political influence. However, such a scenario is unlikely, but it is by no means excluded, given that Muqtada al-Sadr is currently showing a willingness to engage in dialogue with competitors, although this dialogue is unlikely to take place if the leader of the Saurun movement feels a chance to take the post of prime minister. Therefore, most likely, the main struggle will unfold between Mustafa al-Kazimi and Muqtad al-Sadr, who is now only trying to win over the largest number of former rivals in order to organize a new attempt at a popular uprising with their help.
Anticipating such a likely outcome of the political struggle, the current head of Iraq's transitional government will try to significantly strengthen his power by putting military pressure on competitors. Moreover, the recent attempt to assassinate the Prime Minister provided him with a unique opportunity, under the pretext of an "anti-terrorist operation", to liquidate or substantially squeeze out most of the centers of political opposition, including the movement of Muqtada al-Sadr. In any case, the leader of the "Saurun" movement is very risky, fighting the head of the Iraqi government. Thus, Washington is unlikely to allow the overthrow of the loyal Mustafa al-Kazimi. As a result, any attempt by a Shiite theologian to question the activities of the head of the Iraqi government or organize new acts of sabotage against him may provoke a new round of social violence in Iraq.

Civil Litigation in North Platte, Nebraska is the primary means of resolving legal disputes that are not criminal in nature. A court of law determines the merits of each side's respective positions, and ultimately issues a ruling on the case. Civil litigation can be between private parties, government entities, and any combination of the two.
In North Platte, Nebraska, the purpose of civil litigation is not punishment or retribution for the offender, or to deter future wrongdoing.
Rather than punishing wrongdoers, civil litigation in North Platte, Nebraska serves the purpose of compensating people when they have been injured, and can prove that another party bears sufficient fault to be held liable for the harm.

Common subjects of civil litigation in North Platte, Nebraska

Q: Canonical Ring Homomorphism $\gamma : R \to R/N$ I'm reading "A First Course in Abstract Algebra, John B. Fraleigh, 7th edition", and I'm having trouble seeing the connection between the following two theorems:

14.9 Theorem
  Let $H$ be a normal subgroup of $G$. Then $\gamma: G \to G/H$
  given by $\gamma(x) = xH$ is a homomorphism with kernel $H$.
26.16 Theorem (Analogue of Theorem 14.9)
  Let $N$ be an ideal of a ring $R$. Then $\gamma: R \to R/N$ given by $\gamma(x) = x + N$ is a ring homomorphism with kernel $N$.

Now, in the proof of Theorem 26.16 he prefaces by saying:

The additive part is done in Theorem 14.9

So my question is this, does $xH$ in Theorem 14.9 really denote $x + H$ where the operation is implicit, or are they different expressions all together?

A: A ring has a group structure for its addition. This means that viewing a ring $R$ with just its addition and ignoring the multiplication will leave just a group where $+$ is the group operation. So Yes,
$$xH\qquad\text{means}\qquad x+H$$
in the ring.

Google to Launch Solution Limiting Gambling and Alcohol Ads
Google is rolling out a new 'ad setting' that will allow vulnerable consumers to restrict gambling, alcohol and other sensitive ads from their feed
The initiative is deployed in collaboration with the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking
Google has already introduced similar measures, such as 'Mute This Ad' and an age-appropriate, regional-based approach towards advertisement
Search engine and tech giant Google will restrict consumer exposure to gambling and alcohol ads by giving users the option to switch off advertisement they do not wish to see.
Tech Search Giant Google to Restrict Gambling, Alcohol Ads
Google seeks to empower vulnerable consumers by allowing them to filter sensitive content and restrict alcohol and gambling ads. The initiative is part of the search engine giant's partnership with the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking which hopes to restrict ads that may be harmful to specific audiences.
Thanks to a new ad setting, users may now limit several types of ads, including but not limited to gambling and alcohol. This comes on top of the existing solution, Mute This Ad, that allows users to hide ads, and is a further enhancement on the regional age restriction approach Google has been deploying to make sure that content is age-appropriate.
Google will test the feature gradually, releasing the option for YouTube Ads across the United States first, and then follow with a global roll out for Google Ads and YouTube. Users will be able to switch the option on and off, allowing them flexibility in choosing how to approach the content they see.
Commenting on this development, International Alliance for Responsible Drinking CEO Henry Ashworth expressed confidence that thanks to the new approach and partnership with Google, there will be wide-spread benefits for vulnerable consumers.
The Alliance's own mission is to make it possible for risk groups to have more say in whether they want to see and interact with sensitive type of content. "Respecting these personal preferences and recognizing differences in culture requires sensitivity and action, that's why we hope this partnership is the start of a bigger movement," said Ashworth.
Gambling Ads Are Ultimate Regulators' Remit
Gambling ads and content has been a hot topic for Google, which has been trying to clamp down on most type of inappropriate advertisement appearing. However, it's usually media regulators that have the final say.
The United Kingdom has been leading the way in restricting ad exposure to underage individuals, and Q3 2020 was a success according to the Advertising Standards Authority, the country's media watchdog.
Communication regulators have been looking to fine both businesses and search engines. In one instance, the Italian media regulator, AgCOM fined Google for breaching the country's gambling ads ban.
Google follows in the steps of Facebook, another tech giant, which teamed up with the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) in September, to empower more consumers to limit the scope and intensity of gambling content they see.

Shelter from the Storm
Featured in Investment Advisor
Investment Advisor - 06/01/09
By Marlene Y. Satter
Advisors whose high-net-worth clients have trouble getting coverage for their homes in coastal and other hard-to-insure areas might want to take a look at PURE. While not yet available everywhere, Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange (PURE) has moved into the coastal and mid-Atlantic markets in a big way, offering coverage for "high-value, well-built homes," as well as watercraft, collectibles, and personal excess liability.
The HNW market, according to PURE founder and president Ross Buchmueller, is underserved, with "lots of signs of inefficiencies." The companies serving this market, he says, were "very large commercial insurers that had a personal insurance division," rather than companies dedicated exclusively to that demographic, and he felt that there was a "tremendous opportunity" to focus solely on the HNW market. In addition, customer satisfaction surveys showed that policyholder-owned companies dominated the top levels. He also cites the "post-Hurricane Katrina insurance reaction. If you could get it, affordability was quite challenging."
Founded in 2006, PURE began offering coverage in Florida, reasoning that the high-net-worth, with houses built to higher standards than those of the general public, would be better risks than the average individual.
The company began offering policies a few hundred at a time, in communities such as Palm Beach and Naples; then it began to move into other states. Currently PURE offers coverage not only in Florida but also in South Carolina, New York, and New Jersey, enrolling "a few hundred or a few thousand families," with the lure not only of coverage in a tough market but also substantial savings on premiums-something that in today's economic conditions tempts even the HNW.
Buchmueller says that growth expectations are steady. "The nature of our business is to be great at managing risk by limiting the number of members in any one area," he explains. This way, PURE avoids "the kind of aggregations that cause problems when hurricanes and wildfires and earthquakes occur and you say, 'My gosh, I wish I didn't write everybody in that town!'" The next state on the list for coverage is Connecticut, where Buchmueller says PURE is having discussions with regulators. The company has "a long list of states in which we're licensed, or have applications pending," but it's not rushing into anything, preferring to grow smartly rather than quickly.
Buchmueller knows the HNW market well, having served as president of AIG's Private Client Group, which he founded in 1999. Under his guidance, the division grew to approximately $500 million of gross written premium. Now that he's put his experience to work for PURE, it seems that the HNW are responding, but coverage from PURE is somewhat different from the policies the high-net-worth were formerly able to get.
One innovation offered by PURE is taking into account the differences between a newer, more sturdily built home and an older home not built to the same standards and less able to stand the stresses of hurricanes."We gave enormous premium credits," he says, to homeowners who'd paid for hurricane-resistant glass and had their roofs strapped on; those homeowners found that they were saving thousands of dollars in premiums.
The company is also environmentally friendly, offering to pay for the increased cost of environmental upgrades, and is also proactive with regard to loss prevention. "If you had a burglary, we would contribute to the cost of an alarm system," says Buchmueller; "if a lightning loss, we'd contribute to lightning suppression." Overall this drives premiums down, since forestalling future losses means fewer claims-further evidence that PURE is paying attention to ways to grow smartly.


Your new daily uniform as seen on Jeff Bridges.
Every day of every month at GQ, we start your morning on Instagram with visual advice on What to Wear Today. But we want to go deeper. Give you the nuts and bolts of how to get the look into your wardrobe. Today: a menswear fit tailor made to flatter men at any age from 20 to 100.
We can't all be trendsetters—and that's OK. Not every man wants to spend his life chasing down the latest menswear grails on a weekly basis. So for guys who want their clothes to withstand the fickle waves of capital-F fashion, consider this right her your go-to outfit. No matter how old or young you are, this combination — topcoat, jeans, Oxford shirt, sweater and black lace ups — will keep you looking suave any day of the week.
When it comes to not-too-fancy style icons, Jeff Bridges ain't a bad man to emulate. He has the regal confidence of a man who DGAF and he knows how to rock a classic coat. His topcoat in camel cashmere adds a pop of color to a somewhat safe combination of navy and white. But because it remains in neutral color territory, it'll work with almost everything else you own. To nail the fit, pay special attention to how coats fit in the shoulders, the sleeve should connect right at your natural shoulder. From there you can ask your tailor to make adjustments to the length of the body and even the sleeves. Because you're gonna wear it for years, a great topcoat is something you should be willing to spend some money on. In fact, that should pretty much go for all the clothes you own right down to your socks.

An Antidote for the Corporate Poison Pill
By Lucian Bebchuk on February 24, 2011 Finance & Markets
In a major decision issued last week, William Chandler of Delaware's Court of Chancery ruled that corporate boards may use a "poison pill"—a device designed to block shareholders from considering a takeover bid—for as long a period of time as the board deems warranted. Because Delaware law governs most U.S. publicly traded firms, the decision is important—and it represents a setback for investors and capital markets.
Pricing Corporate Governance
By Lucian Bebchuk on November 29, 2010 Finance & Markets
Do markets appreciate and correctly price the corporate-governance provisions of companies? In new empirical research, Alma Cohen, Charles C.Y. Wang, and I show how stock markets have learned to price anti-takeover provisions. This learning by markets has important implications for both managements of publicly traded companies and their investors.
Politics and Corporate Money
By Lucian Bebchuk on September 27, 2010 Finance & Markets
A recent decision issued by the United States Supreme Court expanded the freedom of corporations to spend money on political campaigns and candidates – a freedom enjoyed by corporations in other countries around the world. This raises well-known questions about democracy and private power, but another important question is often overlooked: who should decide for a publicly traded corporation whether to spend funds on politics, how much, and to what ends?
Why Bankers' Pay Is the Government's Business
By Lucian Bebchuk on August 17, 2010 Finance & Markets
The Federal Reserve now has in place a policy for supervising executive pay in banks as part of its programme for ensuring the banking system's safety and soundness. Governments around the world have adopted or are considering regulations concerning pay in financial institutions. I have been an early proponent of such government involvement, advocating it in congressional testimony, in "Regulating Bankers' Pay," an article co-authored with Holger Spamann, and in other writings. In contrast to what Mark Calabria argues in his supporting statement for the motion, public officials have good reason to pay close attention to executive pay in banks and to reject assertions that it should be none of the government's business. (By banks I refer throughout to any financial institutions that are deemed to pose systemic risk and are subject to financial regulation for this reason.)
Regulating executive pay in banks is justified by the same moral hazard reasons that underlie the long-standing system of prudential regulation of banks. As governments are now recognising, monitoring and regulating the compensation structures of bank executives can and should be an important instrument in the toolkit of financial regulators.
How to Pay a Banker
By Lucian Bebchuk on August 2, 2010 Finance & Markets
The United States' Federal Reserve Board recently adopted a policy under which bank supervisors, the guardians of the financial system's safety and soundness, would review the compensation structures of bank executives. Authorities elsewhere are considering or adopting similar programs. But what structures should regulators seek to encourage?It is now widely accepted that it is important to reward bankers for long-term results. Rewarding bankers for short-term results, even when those results are subsequently reversed, produces incentives to take excessive risks.
Don't Gut Proxy Access
By Lucian Bebchuk on June 21, 2010 Finance & Markets, Geostrategy
Lucian A. Bebchuk, a Harvard law professor, argues that Congress should reject attempts to impose severe limits on the ability of shareholders to place director candidates on the corporate ballot.
The Senate's representatives on the conference committee finalizing financial regulatory overhaul have proposed weakening the proxy-access provisions included in both the House and Senate bills. The senators' amendment would prevent shareholders owning less than 5 percent of a company's shares from ever placing director candidates on a corporate ballot.
Rating the Raters
By Lucian Bebchuk on May 25, 2010 Finance & Markets, Geostrategy
In the new financial order being put in place by regulators around the world, reform of credit rating agencies should be a key element. Credit rating agencies, which play an important role in modern capital markets, completely failed in the years preceding the financial crisis. What is needed is an effective mechanism for rating the raters.
There is widespread recognition that rating agencies have let down investors. Many financial products related to real estate lending that Standard & Poor, Moody's, and Fitch rated as safe in the boom years turned out to be lethally dangerous. And the problem isn't limited to such financial products: with issuers of other debt securities choosing and compensating the firms that rate them, the agencies still have strong incentives to reciprocate with good ratings.
Paid to Fail
By Lucian Bebchuk on March 19, 2010 Finance & Markets
By Lucian Bebchuk, Alma Cohen and Holger Spamann
In a report just filed with the United States court that is overseeing the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, a court-appointed examiner described how Lehman's executives made deliberate decisions to pursue an aggressive investment strategy, take on greater risks, and substantially increase leverage. Were these decisions the result of hubris and errors in judgment or the product of flawed incentives?
Corporate Political Speech Is Bad for Shareholders
By Lucian Bebchuk on February 24, 2010 Finance & Markets, Geostrategy
The United States Supreme court recently struck down limits on the freedom of companies to spend money on political elections. Large, publicly traded companies in other countries also often face lax limits on their use of corporate resources to influence political outcomes, fueling fears that the interests of shareholders will trump those of other groups, such as consumers and employees. But corporate spending on politics can also hurt the interests of shareholders.
The CEO Pay Slice
By Lucian Bebchuk on January 29, 2010 Finance & Markets
By Lucian Bebchuk, Martijn Cremers and Urs Peyer
There is now intense debate about how the pay levels of top executives compare with the compensation given to rank-and-file employees. But, while such comparisons are important, the distribution of pay among top executives also deserves close attention.

New 'Yooka-Laylee' Trailer Debuts At Gamescom 2016
The bat-and-chameleon duo are back for their Gamescom debut in the latest trailer for Yooka-Laylee.
Yooka-Laylee is the first title to come from developer Playtonic Games, a new studio comprised of former Rare developers; their combined resume includes the likes of the Donkey Kong Country series, Kameo: Elements of Power, Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. Playtonic originally presented their Banjo-Kazooie spiritual-successor through a Kickstarter campaign; gamers immediately fell in love with the concept, funding the project just 40 minutes after the campaign launched.
Gamescom 2016 is now in full swing at the Cologne Exhibition Center in Germany. Playtonic is one of many development studios at the annual game and electronics trade fair, showcasing Yooka-Laylee gameplay with a brand new trailer. Fans can expect to see some of the massive environments to explore, a new dump truck transformation, and two iconic staples of the Banjo-Kazooie franchise- googly eyes and farts.
Yooka-Laylee was originally expected to release this year for PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Wii U, however the title has since been delayed to Q1 2017.

Rep. Lipinski: Administration's Second "Accommodation" Again Fails to Make Needed Changes to HHS Mandate, Still Violates Religious Liberty (2/8/13)
U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski (IL-3) issued the following statement on the Department of Health and Human Service's latest proposal to amend the rule announced last year that requires all employers to provide insurance that includes coverage of abortion drugs, sterilization, and contraceptives. This is the second time the Obama Administration has announced a change in the rule that is supposed to "accommodate" those employers who do not want to implement part of the HHS mandate that would force them to violate their personal religious convictions.
"I continue to be disappointed and, frankly, puzzled by the administration's second proposed 'accommodation' for employers who have objections to parts of the HHS mandate based on their religious beliefs. After a year of consideration by HHS, this proposal appears to do little more than the inadequate one announced last year and would still require employers to provide coverage for abortion drugs, sterilization, and contraception even if doing so violated their conscience and religious beliefs. Despite the fact that this proposed rule is 80 pages long, it still leaves many questions unanswered about which religious organizations may be exempted from the mandate and how exactly the mandate will be implemented. It seems we will not know that until the rule is finalized in April. But this proposal does make it perfectly clear that the Administration does not understand religious liberty to be the right of individuals to practice their beliefs and many employers will still have their religious liberty violated by this rule no matter what is done in the next two months to clarify it.
As the Chicago Tribune accurately pointed out in its Feb. 3 editorial, the latest rewording of the mandate is 'all an attempt to conceal the blatant reality that religiously affiliated employers will be implicated, financially and otherwise, in the provision of something they find morally objectionable. It's another fig leaf and, again, it's not convincing.'
The bottom line remains that the fundamental First Amendment guarantee of the free exercise of religion preserves the right for any employer to not be forced to participate in activities that go against their beliefs. Religious liberty in America cannot be compromised. As the Tribune editorial noted: 'That's precisely the sort of thing the First Amendment was written to prevent. It is a vital mandate that the Obama administration should respect – but, with every so-called compromise on this issue, stubbornly flouts.'"

'El Chapo', suspected of killing 7, shot and killed by police
A suspect who was connected to at least seven murders was killed on Wednesday morning in Santa Cruz during a confrontation with police.
The deceased was identified as Cullis "El Chapo" Magloure of La Canoa, Santa Cruz.
According to police reports, around 3.00 am officers of the North Eastern Division Task Force visited the La Canoa home of the suspect, as they had received intelligence that he may have been involved in the murders of 22-year-old Shawn Joseph, and his mother, 55-year-old Marsha Joseph.
Police said that when they arrived, they found Magloure on in the bedroom with a woman.
The woman, on seeing the police, ran.
Police said when some officers gave chase, Magloure reached for a firearm next to his bed.
While he was armed, the officers called on him to drop the weapon, an instruction he did not comply.
An officer, fearful for his life and the life of his comrades, used his licensed weapon and opened fire.
Magloure was struck multiple times about the body.
He was rushed for medical treatment, however, he succumbed to his wounds.
More on this as it becomes available.

Another busy week with the change of seasons in the fields but apparently not quite yet with the weather. One more last reprise from summer for the next few days including the longest day of the year and official start of summer on Monday in the mid 80's! I always feel like we are buying time when there are days in the low 80's and nights in the 50's in June.
We have been mowing down and turning under more spring crops every day, making way for new plantings or cover crops. Last week beet, carrot, radish beds went under the tiller, this week, fennel, radicchio, more lettuce went down. Same in the flowers with campanula, stocks, snapdragons and more having their irrigation lines and trellis taken out and then mowed. Not to worry, more lettuce was planted as well as zinnias and sunflowers.
Now we begin to settle into the summer work patterns of harvesting tomatoes twice a week and maintaining other the summer crops. Betsy will make her daily rounds through the flowers, getting the sunflowers and zinnias that have opened overnight, checking the other flowers that might be at the right stage to harvest. All mostly done in the mornings so we can hide out in the shade in the afternoons. Lots of mowing, weed eating and tying up tomatoes and peppers. A bit of replanting each week until mid-August when the fall planting starts in earnest.
A few more tomatoes this week, still holding with Orange Blossom, Cherokee Purples and Big Beef. The last of the Fennel! Italian Parsley and Basil. Green Onions and the fresh Long Red of Tropea (Torpedo) onions. More Cucumbers. The first Shishito peppers of the season!
We have just the green Summer Crisp lettuce this week until we work through the planting gap we had a month ago when it was so wet. The last heads of the really nice Escarole. Beautiful Lacinato/Dinosaur/Cavalo Nero Kale but it is nearing it's run too. Plenty of the various Radicchio's with round red, some of the speckled variety and the heavy, less bitter, Sugarloaf, great for salads or for grilling. Callaloo is back! Actually an amaranth, the Jamaican spinach, a great great for a fast sautee. Jennie's teenaged Swiss Chard, tender in both stem and leaf.
More and more flowers. Fragrant Oriental Lilies. Beautiful white Annabelle Hydrangea. The awesome Campanula (Bell flower). Vibrant Safflower. Gloriosa Daisies (black eyed Susans) and Sunflowers. Dayglo Dainthus and Zinnias. As always, amazing Bouquets.

Eveline Gottzein

TUM alumna, doctorate in electrical engineering and information technology 1983, honorary professor 2011
Eveline Gottzein is an internationally renowned expert for the altitude and orbit control systems of satellites and the control of load-bearing and guidance systems for high-speed magnetic levitation trains. In 1993, she was the first woman to receive the Werner von Siemens Ring.

Development engineer and university professor
Eveline Gottzein was born on 30 September 1931 in Leipzig. Her parents were the engineer Bruno Gottzein and his wife Charlotte. Already at the age of 13, she was interested in technology, wanted to be a glider pilot and, with her father's support, built model airplanes. After completing her secondary education in 1949 in the GDR, she was refused entrance to the university because of her bourgeois family background. She completed vocational training to become an electrician at the radio and telecommunications plant in Leipzig. There, she worked with feedback amplifiers and had her first encounter with control technology – something that was to fascinate her throughout her entire life.
Late admission to studies in the GDR
Because of her diligence and talent, she was ultimately permitted to begin studying electrical engineering at the Technical University of Dresden. From 1952 to 1957, she studied first electrical engineering, then mathematics and physics after earning her intermediate diploma. She developed an electronic system for the simulation of complex industrial processes: The "model for synthesis and analysis (MOSYAN)" was one of the attractions at the 1957 Leipzig Spring Trade Fair. After completing her studies, Gottzein fled to the West. From 1957 to 1959, she continued studying applied mathematics and control technology at the Technical University of Darmstadt, graduating with a Diplom in mathematics. For a time, she worked as an application engineer at Electronic Associates Inc. in the European Simulation Center in Brussels.
Development engineer at MBB
In 1959, Gottzein became a development engineer at Bölkow Entwicklungen KG (later Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm GmbH). She established the department for control and simulation in what would later become the aeronautics division, heading the department until her retirement in 1993. Gottzein was substantially involved in Franco-German collaboration in aerospace and technology through her collaboration on the "Roland" defense system against low-flying aircraft of the "Europa Rocket" and on the first Franco-German communications satellites. She was deeply impressed by the personality of the company's director Ludwig Bölkow, as she found his professional expertise, willingness to assume responsibility, and work ethic exemplary. Ludwig Bölkow gave Gottzein and her young colleagues free reign, releasing undreamt-of creative forces.
Simulation on the basis of mathematical models
In the hybrid simulation center for complex technical systems, the most modern in Europe at that time, the entire simulation of the controlled phase was carried out on the basis of mathematical models, at the time still converted into electronic models, to calculate system-level behavior, as well as to determine and coordinate guidance laws and flight controllers. Gottzein supplemented her knowledge of reactor and flight simulation in a hybrid computing center of the US company Electronic Associates in Belgium and England, laying the foundation for successfully joining Bölkow KG.
All truly great inventions were first intuitively conjectured, then logically corroborated.1
Building on the DLR's experience in developing the Franco-German communications satellite Symphony, she established the engineering process for the development and qualification of Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS) of satellites, first systematically applied for the communications satellites of the INTELSAT V series and later transferred with great success to all the company's communications satellites. For the TV Sat series (TV-Sat1 & 2; TDF1 & 2; Tele-X), Gottzein led the transition from analogue to digital AOCS implementation. The satellites were triaxially stabilized in all AOCS modes, both in the operational and in the transfer phases. Compared with the spin stabilization then customary, this was a great step forward.
Load-bearing and guidance systems for high-speed magnetic levitation trains
Gottzein was also responsible for the design, development and testing of load-bearing and guidance systems for high-speed maglev trains. This included system modelling and simulation, hardware and software development, integration and high-speed tests. On 6 May 1971 the "Magnetmobil," the world's first MBB demonstrator vehicle, was presented in Ottobrunn near Munich. In the place of wheels and rails of traditional railway came a non-contact electromagnetic, almost wear-free load-bearing, guidance, and drive system. The vehicle was powered by a short stator linear motor and transported six to eight passengers at a maximum speed of 90 km/h. Load-bearing and guidance systems were contour- and platform-based. The crossover frequency between the two modes was adjusted to optimize driving comfort and power consumption. Experiences from the development of the grade control system of the "Cormorant" anti-ship rocket system, one that flies just a few meters above sea level (type Sea Skimmer), were integrated into the concept, in which Gottzein was personally involved.
"Component Measuring System" (KOMET)
The "component measuring system" (KOMET) was first deployed in 1975 for testing high-speed maglev trains and components for highest speeds of more than 400 km/h. Its success is based on lab tests that Gottzein conducted with a rotational testing station developed for the purpose to investigate the behavior of magnets at high speeds and optimize their configuration on the vehicle. Until this time, "experts" claimed that the drop in loading capacity at speeds of over 180 km/h as a result of eddy currents in the track was too large. With the rotational testing station, it was possible to improve the configuration of magnets to ensure minimal drop in loading capacity.
"That's not possible" was a sentence that the dedicated engineer and scientist often heard but always challenged. In her work, she was always able to rely on favorably disposed, competent and committed employees and partners. In 1979, the first full-fledged MBB high-speed maglev train TRANSRAPID 05 was put into operation at the International Transport Exhibition (IVA) in Hamburg. With the help of the electromagnetic control system, the magnetic forces were laid out in such a way that a space of ca. 10 mm was maintained between the support magnets and the ferromagnetic stator packs. Fork sensors were deployed to check the distance. The distance from the vehicle floor to the track was ca. 15 cm.
Doctorate at the TUM on the "magneto wheel concept"
The load-bearing and guidance system was based on the patented "magneto wheel concept," which Gottzein developed in her dissertation entitled "The magneto wheel as an autonomous functional unit of modular load-bearing and guide systems for maglev trains." She attained her doctorate in engineering from the Technical University of Munich in 1983 during her employment. The "magneto wheel concept" is characterized by hierarchy and decentralization through to autonomous basic modules at the first level to support a high degree of functional redundancy. This key characteristic guarantees vehicle safety at all speeds: One of eight load-bearing and guidance modules can fail without compromising performance. The concept was adopted for the improved test vehicle TRANSRAPID 06, which reached a top speed of 412.6 km/h on the test track in the Emsland region in 1988. However, the Transrapid technology did not find any commercial users in Germany. In Shanghai, China, a Transrapid track has successfully operated as an airport link since 31 December 31 2002.
I was fascinated by the opportunities and determined to seize them to the greatest extend possible.
Scientific advisor to Airbus GmbH
Eveline Gottzein worked as a scientific advisor to Airbus GmbH in the development of a GPS receiver tailored to commercial space vehicle applications. The single-board L1 receiver is based on software correlation and is either integrated into the avionic system or functions as a stand-alone receiver. What is special about the concept is that the receiver, suitable for use in space, is also deployable for navigation at high altitudes above the trajectories of the GPS constellation, using the "spill-over" of electromagnetic radiation. The receiver has been successfully tested in space on a geostationary communication satellite, i.e. at a height of approx. 36,000 km. The navigational precision is better than 100 meters. The even more powerful successor uses both GPS and Galileo signals and is already carrying out flight tests in space. Eveline Gottzein also advised on the development of a position and course sensor on the basis of enhanced image processing with active pixel detector technology. The sensor and the results of the flight tests were presented at the "4th ESA Round Table on Micro/Nano Technologies for Space".
Honorary professor at the University of Stuttgart
In addition to her professional activity, Gottzein has been an assistant lecturer since 1989 at the University of Stuttgart in the field of "Control problems in space travel"; in 1996, she was appointed honorary professor for aerospace engineering. Since 2005, she has been teaching in the European Space Master Graduate Program "Space Dynamics and Controls," part of its Erasmus Mundus program. After her retirement in 1993, she began advising Deutsche Aerospace AG, later Daimler-Benz Aerospace AG, (EADS) Astrium GmbH, now the Airbus Defense and Space division of the Airbus Group. Gottzein was granted five patents in the fields of magnetic levitation and aerospace technology. In addition to her dissertation, she has numerous publications on the altitude and orbit control of satellites and carrier vehicles, load-bearing and guidance systems of maglev trains, and satellite navigation in space, in particular, of spacecraft at high altitudes.
Awarded the Werner von Siemens Ring
In 1993, she was awarded the Werner von Siemens Ring – thus far the only woman to receive it – for her achievements in the development of control systems for high-speed maglev trains, satellites and other spacecraft. In 1996 she was awarded the Bavarian Order of Merit, in 1998 the Bavarian Order of Maximilian for Science and Art, and in 2000 the Grand Cross of the German Order of Merit. In 2007, Gottzein became a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and in the following year was appointed Fellow of the International Federation Automatic Control (IFAC). In 2011, she was appointed a TUM Distinguished Affiliated Professor by the Technical University of Munich.

Vanessa Hudgens Will Be More Daring For Next Role
January 16, 2012 July 14, 2009 by admin
Vanessa Hudgens is taking a bit of a detour from her successful path as a Disney starlet.
The "High School Musical" star, 20, says she is going to strip down for her new role as a hooker in the upcoming film "Sucker Punch," according to a report in the U.K. Metro.
"I'm playing a character named Blondie and it's set in a brothel in the 1950s, so there's not a whole lot of clothes," the actress was quoted as saying.
"I think this is my time to really step it up and get to grow up. It will be somewhat different with the content and a few more foul words, but that's the biggest difference."
A potty-mouthed, half-n@ked h*oker — Yes, that's definitely "somewhat" different than being a Disney star.
But it's not the first time that the "HSM" cutie has showed some skin. In 2007, the pint-sized actress apologized for n@ked photos that showed her smiling while standing in front of a red curtain.

WAKISO – Kyadondo East Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine on Friday hosted all LC1 chairpersons from the 53 villages of his constituency to a luncheon at his home in Magere, off Gayaza road in Wakiso District.
Bobi Wine said that the event was intended to interact with the leaders and discuss development of the area.
"We had a fruitful end of year Luncheon today at Magere with all LC1 chairpersons from the 53 villages of Kyadondo east constituency. With us were all Kasangati town council councillors and the Mayor," he wrote on his Facebook page.
"We believe in interactions made casually over a meal and some music in the background. We in Kyadondo know that if each leader played their part with passion and transparency we would transform our communities to the desired level and we are working towards that. Our festive began early so allow me to wish you all a beautiful December," he added.
Since his election last year, Bobi Wine's political profile has grown under his People Power pressure group. He helped Asuman Basalirwa win Bugiri Municipality MP by-election as well as Kassiano Wadri in Arua Municipality by-election that ended in chaos.
He was subsequently arrested and his torture at the hands of security forces in August attracted global condemnation.
Since his return into the country from the US, he has continued to draw crowds wherever he has gone.
He is also one of the most followed on Facebook and Twitter.
Recently, his Kyarenga concert attracted an estimated 40,000 people. Bobi Wine also took Kenya by storm in October when he visited the country at the invitation of outspoken Embakasi County MP Babu Owino.
Last week, he was in Ghana where he launched the People Power Ghana Chapter, with the Kyadondo East MP saying this is intended to coordinate and mobilise other people in the area interested in liberating the country.
"This morning [Friday, November 23], I had a conversation with a group of activists and the #PEOPLEPOWER_GHANACHAPTER about the political atmosphere in Uganda in relation to the state of democracy on the entire African continent. I commend these young people for devoting their energy to finding solutions to problems using all means within their reach. I will be meeting fellow Ugandans living in Ghana and West Africa at the OS AURORA APARTMENTS near Flag Staff House at 11:00 am tomorrow. If you live in this community, come and let's catch a conversation about our country and our continent," he wrote on his Facebook wall on Friday.

The Rise of Coccidioides: Forces Against the Dust Devil Unleashed
Marley C.Caballero Van Dyke, George R. Thompson, John N. Galgiani, Bridget M. Barker
Valley Fever Center for Excellence
Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever) is a fungal disease caused by the inhalation of Coccidioides posadasii or C. immitis. This neglected disease occurs in the desert areas of the western United States, most notably in California and Arizona, where infections continue to rise. Clinically, coccidioidomycosis ranges from asymptomatic to severe pulmonary disease and can disseminate to the brain, skin, bones, and elsewhere. New estimates suggest as many as 350,000 new cases of coccidioidomycosis occur in the United States each year. Thus, there is an urgent need for the development of a vaccine and new therapeutic drugs against Coccidioides infection. In this review, we discuss the battle against Coccidioides including the development of potential vaccines, the quest for new therapeutic drugs, and our current understanding of the protective host immune response to Coccidioides infection.
