Principle Six: The Separation of Powers
Français Version
As we addressed in our April issue of The Bottom Line and study of the Twelve Master Principles, Principle Four: Service-Based Power is the conduit through which "love makes the exercise of power safe" because empowering others becomes one's goal. Since government is the structure through which power is primarily exercised, this principle of love empowering others is not enough to safeguard the abuse of power. Sin ("fallenness") is so deeply engrained in our self-centered nature, that from an institutional context which involves many people touching power together, several people's motivation of love is not enough to offset the momentum of an institution.
The antidote and supportive attitude to the empowerment of others is found in Principle Six: The Separation of Powers. This awesome principle injects checks and balances to limit what any one facet of institutional power through government can do. In separating the functions of a governing body, it counterbalances power and introduces the principle of mutuality. Therefore, several divisions of institutional government are required to function together to enact governing decisions. No modern government has embedded this principle into the fabric of its governing institutions as clearly and deeply as the United States of America. The founders of this government exercised political genius in their constitutional legal framework unparalleled in the nation-states of the world.
Most of the people in my generation were exposed to the concept of the separation of powers in junior high school history or civics classes. The governmental institutions of the executive branch, judicial branch, and legislative branch live in a constant and historic tension seen throughout virtually all the political history of the United States. Elections come and go, the liberal/conservative pendulum continues to swing, but the separation of powers in our governing body continues to serve as a stabilizing force. The only way to institutionally destabilize this nation is to alter the constitution, literally or spiritually, in its intent.
To this major point, two critical observations must be made. Firstly, our Constitution presupposes that the ultimate guardian of this checks-and-balances system is the continued education of the citizenry responsible for electing civil leaders committed to enforcing the Constitution's principles. We the People are the very allegiance to defend the Constitution from enemies, foreign and domestic. That, my friends, is a very big deal. Since this oath presupposes a functioning knowledge of that supreme (transcendent) document, it absolutely requires that its educational systems teach the citizens deeply enough in the core meaning of the Constitution to recognize its peril or support from the political parties and their candidates for public office. Indeed, no nation can claim strength, honor, or "greatness" when its citizens and educational systems desert this non-negotiably essential function. Here, in the United States, if we are to fear anything as a nation, it is the consequences of the abandonment of this duty.
Secondly, if in this horrific and almost treasonable educational neglect, the separation of powers wavers and is diluted by cultural demigods not principle demands, then totalitarianism government is the absolute reality which follows. Are we currently teetering on that precipice? Only ignorant fools are blind enough to question this reality. Unfortunately, there is a second explanation: Those fools believe they have a supreme form of civil government not needing such preemptive "clutter." I leave it to you, my friends. Is this principle of the separation of powers now obsolete and no longer essential to our civil order of democracy? For many of us, the correct answer to this question and what to do about it, really, is…
Questions for Reflection & Discussion:
What is the difference between personal power and institutional power?
When were you first made aware of the phrase and meaning, "the separation of powers?"
If you have children or grandchildren old enough to understand, will you explain this concept to them?

Watching tennis on tv has never especially grabbed me, though I like to play it or even to watch, in person, good players play.
Bingley loves to watch tennis on tv. It's the only tv he watches except for his favorite period dramas.
He's more of a music kind of guy, npr especially: string quartets if he's feeling sleepy, jazz if he wants to watch the birds outside, acoustic guitar when he wants to play, choirs or folk vocalists around the holidays, wind ensembles when the weather's nice and symphonies when it snows. His tail sways back and forth with the music.
But he will watch his tennis intently. He follows the ball so closely that he won't talk with me while a match is going on. The rest of the world disappears for him. He often sighs after double-faults, and he'll sometimes mew for winners.
I asked him if he has a favorite player.
"Navratilova." Ah: too much ESPN Classic again.
Once we were watching a younger player who had hit a bad spell and couldn't seem to get any shots in. I always feel bad for good players when they play badly, so I was going to change the channel.
Well, he does listen to lots of music.
"And backhand should go like this." He whipped his paw back across my cheek the other way.
"Understand now? Rhythm." He looked me right in the eyes.
After a bit, the young player was doing a little better, though she didn't win her match. Her opponent was too tough.
"Williams sisters are cool," he said.
"Catlike," he said, and he smiled and closed his eyes.


Yellow Ostrich was the first band I saw last year, at this same venue (Mercury Lounge). Back then, the band consisted of creative mastermind and frontman Alex Schaaf and drummer Michael Tapper, working hard to produce an on-stage re-recreation of the simple magic of the band's then-current release, The Mistress. That record was one of those indie gems you might miss if you didn't pay attention to the CMJ showcase circuit and the right blogs; it was a lo-fi, low-profile recording offered on Schaaf's bandcamp page for free, and it was as simple and unadorned as a record could get. That sold-out show found Schaaf still finding his footing creatively and and as a performer; he was still a bit raw, but already compelling.
The Mistress and its stellar reviews attracted wider notice, as good records tend to, and Schaaf signed to the Northwest imprint Barsuk Records, who obligingly remastered and re-released The Mistress, along with bankrolling the band's new release of last month, Strange Land. Since that Mercury Lounge show last January, Schaaf has performed around the country in front of hundreds of audiences, and the band has added a critical third member, Jon Natchez, who has played with Beirut, Camera Obscura, Okkervil River, and The Antlers. What was once your favorite little indie bedroom project has grown into a full-fledged rock band with the songs to prove it.
This sold-out Mercury Lounge show was a valedictory one for the band, coming on the heels of a U.S. tour that took them to all corners of the country, not to mention its great middle (Wisconsin is where Schaaf calls home, and they have a serious following in flyover country). Not only are the standout tracks on Strange Land like "Marathon Runner" and "I Got No Time For You" already in top form, but older tracks like the quirky "WHALE" that first drew me to the band have been reworked with more layers of sound. Schaaf's sweet, somewhat nasal voice and quirky songcraft have always recalled, for me, innovators like John Darnielle and Jeff Mangum. Schaaf, like Darnielle, has found a way to embrace a full-bodied, at-times-lush rock sound without losing the qualities of his music that make it unique. It's appropriate, then, that he closed the set with one of the simplest and most plaintive tracks off of The Mistress, "Mary". Even with all his new musical toys, Schaaf can be a pretty damn compelling performer without them.
I recorded this set in the same manner as I recorded Yellow Ostrich last year, with Schoeps MK41 microphones and a perfect soundboard feed from the Mercury Lounge head FOH. The sound quality, as with the last recording, is outstanding. Enjoy!
Check out Yellow Ostrich on tour this summer with Los Campesinos! and at several festivals (including Lollapalooza). Their next NYC dates are June 21 at Maxwell's, June 22 at Le Poisson Rouge and June 23 at Brooklyn Bowl, each with Los Campesinos! Thanks to the band for their support of NYCTaper.
If you enjoyed this recording, PLEASE SUPPORT Yellow Ostrich, visit their website, see them on tour with Los Campesinos! and at the other festivals they're playing this summer, and purchase Strange Land and The Mistress directly from Barsuk [HERE].

EU project breaks ground in Sri Lanka
2,455 families to benefit from the house-building component of a 14-million-euro grant
COLOMBO (February 18, 2017) — More than 215, 000 people will benefit from a 14-million-euro (over US$14.8 million) multi-faceted housing project, financed by the European Union and implemented by Habitat for Humanity and World Vision Lanka.
Speaking during the opening ceremony, Ambassador to Sri Lanka and the Maldives for the Delegation of the European Union, Tung-Laï Margue said: "I am hopeful that this project will assist in providing returnee families with not just homes and livelihood alternatives but also the necessary support to rebuild a life and a future for themselves. The goal has always been to turn the cycle of impoverishment and reliance to that of self-sufficiency, and I am encouraged to see that we are moving in the right direction through this initiative."
Tung-Laï Margue (left), Ambassador to Sri Lanka and the Maldives for the Delegation of the European Union, said the project will help the families to be self-sufficient.
The project, which bridges the gap between relief, rehabilitation and development, aims to build 2,315 houses and repair 140 homes in 31 divisions across Batticaloa, Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu by early 2020. It utilizes alternative materials and techniques to reduce constructions costs, while ensuring decent housing, and to encourage the use and production of locally manufactured earth blocks and construction materials.
"The project is aptly entitled 'Homes not Houses'. Indeed we wish to see thriving communities that are self-sufficient, stable and strong, once our building work is done and we are long gone. Thanks to the focus of this funding from the European Union the project aims to boost the local economy by investing in earth-based technologies which are cost-effective and sustainable," said Dr. Dinesh Kanagaratnam, National Director of Habitat for Humanity Sri Lanka.
The project activities include:
Access to permanent housing including houses built with innovative materials (compressed stabilized earth blocks and earth concrete blocks).
Appropriate incremental building through microcredit to expand a home or create a place of business.
"Flanking measures" relating to general livelihood support for families and communities such as vocational training in construction, training in appropriate building materials and methods, and forming and strengthening small and medium enterprises.
Training families in financial literacy including savings plans, microfinance and basics of business. Improved access to appropriate microfinance and management of debt.
A more holistic approach of strengthening community-based organizations, supporting disaster risk reduction, peace building and gender equity.
Commenting on this endeavor, National Director of World Vision Lanka, Dhanan Senathirajah, said: "We are proud to be associated with this project. One of the main strengths of World Vision Lanka is its community engagement and livelihood development expertise. I believe our interventions in this sphere will be key to transform houses into happy and stable homes."

Students Get Hands Dirty Archiving
August 4, 2014 - News
A group of Year 8 Community Service students, co-ordinated by former Head Master and current Mathematics/Religious Education teacher, Mr Jones, has been frequenting Girton House to assist with archiving of school documents, photos and other memorabilia as part of the OGA archiving project.
The OGA is undertaking an extensive archiving project to organise and protect the school's valuable history. Girton College and Girton Grammar have accumulated a significant collection of artefacts and photographic records and these are currently being arranged into chronological order.
The OGA aims to preserve school records from as early as 1890 and to make them available to anyone who wishes to use them for their research or other purposes.
The Ground Floor of Girton House, the oldest building at Girton, on the Junior School campus, has generously and aptly been provided by the school for the purpose of organising and displaying historical records and photos. Following several moves of the OGA office, Girton House will be the new permanent location for the school's historical records.
The OGA is always keen to receive original School documents – such as reports, photos and memorabilia – to add to our collection. If you, or a relative, have these but no longer wish to keep them, the OGA will gratefully receive them. For further information, contact Alex Fisher, Alumni Manager on (03) 4408 5985 or alexfisher@girton.vic.edu.au

Goldfish in tropical fish tank?
My brother brought home a small (around 1-2 inch.) goldfish from a carnival. I have a 30g tank with 3 Albino Cory Catfish, a female Betta, a Marineland Penguin 150, and a Steal-Pro heater set at 78 degrees F. Can I safely add the goldfish to this set-up? I realize that goldfish need much, much larger tanks and do not require heaters, but this is my only option besides let him put it in a .5 gallon bowl.
If you have no other option IMO it will be ok for the short term until you can find somewhere else for it. Goldfish don't do well in higher temperatures and require different diets to many tropical fish. Carnival fish can have disease from the poor water conditions they are kept in. Something to keep in mind.
Okay I just found a friend that has a large pond and several goldfish, would it be safe to add it in there? I have no experience with goldfish ponds. Is it okay to introduce a small goldfish in with large (fully grown) goldfish? She says they have been in the pond for over a year and healthy, and you said carnival goldfish can carry disease, so I really don't want to introduce a disease into her pond and her healthy fish end up dead, how do I tell if the goldfish has disease?
Could you or your friend with the pond set up a quarantine tank? Nothing giant or long term, just something to monitor for sickness.
As said, it will need to be quarantined. A large storage tub will be enough. No need for a filter just an air stone and something to hide in/under. Chang the water daily and monitor the fish for 2-4 weeks. Look for growths, spots, sores, clamped fins, fuzz, gasping, red gills and shredded fins.


In the parable of the hidden treasure, the man sold everything he owned to buy the field. In the parable of the pearl of great value, the merchant sold everything he owed to purchase the pearl. Both of them found something of great worth and were willing to sell everything to obtain it. The treasure was WORTH EVERYTHING to them.
In Matthew 13, Jesus tells several parables to teach us important truth about the kingdom of God. These parables are known to bible scholars as the Kingdom Parables. The Parable of the Hidden Treasure and The Parable of the Pearl teach two very important truths. First, it teaches us what God was willing to do to purchase our redemption. We are WORTH EVERYTHING to God. That's why he sent his one and only son to die for our sins. Jesus laid down his life for us. Second, it teaches us that the kingdom of God is worth anything it may cost us to follow Jesus.
God, thank you for seeing me as valuable. For loving me so much that you would send your son to die for me. Your love for me is amazing. How could I not serve you with all of my heart, mind, soul, and strength all the days of my life. Amen!

Depleted India face tough task
Vijayawada, November 23
With the seven-match one-day international series down to the wire and the teams equally matched in strength, it will be a test of character for a depleted India when they take on West Indies in the series-decider here tomorrow.

Expert comments Vivian Richards
Jodhpur game restored sanity
THE West Indies would have ideally wanted to come to Vijayawada after winning the series in Jodhpur itself. However, the pendulum swung the other way with India ensuring that the hosts remained in the running. It's good for cricket when a series is alive till the last match.

Bowlers will decide match
WEST Indies have done very well to reach a stage where they have an equal chance of winning the one-day series. If they win tomorrow, they would have created an upset of sorts because beating India in India is not the easiest of things. If the Test series was any indication, it was expected that India would make a clean sweep of the one-day series.

It was a welcome and refreshing break for the Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh, to play the inaugural game at the 44th National Bridge Championship here today. And like in politics, Capt Amarinder Singh seemed to keep his cards too close to his chest. Literally. Despite that, his team lost the game against the Bridge Federation of India 16-9.

Butterfly record
'YAGNA' HELD
A 'yagna' has been performed in this cricket crazy-city for the success of the home team in the ongoing TVS Cup one-day international series. Even as India made heavy weather in the penultimate match, chasing a modest total of 202 at Jodhpur, four Vedic pandits performed the "Sudarshana Homam'' to invoke the blessings of Lord Vishnu, the Protector. The 'Yagna', performed inside a stadium, also prayed for the peaceful conduct of the seventh and series' deciding one dayer on Sunday, ritual organiser and Krishna District Cricket Association Honorary General Secretary G Gangaraju said.

The sides are locked 3-3 and they have everything to play for tomorrow. West Indies would be desperate to salvage some of their pride after the battering they received in the three-match Test series while India, braving the absence of key players, would be keen to keep their record at home, as well as their impressive run in the shorter version of the game this year, intact.
Rahul Dravid, the stand-in Indian skipper in the absence of Saurav Ganguly who has been rested, has another record to keep into account. He has won all the three one-dayers that he has skippered and would not like to break that trend in what promises to be a thriller of a contest.
Though Dravid played it down as purely "incidental" saying it was too early to read much into it, he admitted that he was keen to keep the slate clean here as well.
"Its just been three matches. So we can't read too much into it. The fact is that we have been batting quite well in this series. I think we have a very good chance of winning the decider," he said.
But Dravid knows the task would be far from easy as the side is without batting mainstay Sachin Tendulkar, Ganguly and pace spearhead Zaheer Khan. Also, they would have to counter an increasingly aggressive opponent.
West Indies have surprised even the cynics by their performance in the one-dayers where they started as underdogs.
They not only took a 2-0 lead in the series, but also gave India a run for their money in other matches as well. Their openers Chris Gayle and Wavell Hinds have given the side a flying start more often than not and the side has gelled well as a team.
Though the hosts have been plagued by inconsistency, the one thing that weighs in India's favour is the fact that someone or the other has stood to the task and delivered the goods when it mattered to gift the side a victory.
And the duo who has impressed all and sundry is Dravid and Sanjay Bangar, hailed by many as the revelation of the series for India. Undoubtedly, together they have provided the side with a heady mix of solidity and flamboyance.
Dravid, enjoying a terrific season having completed 1000 runs in Test cricket, has worked on his one-day game and the result is there for everybody to see.
It is surprising that he compares with the hard-hitting Gayle in this series with his strike rate. Dravid may not be thrashing sixes and fours but he has been quick between the wickets and has paced his innings well.
Having led by example, it is only proper for him to expect his boys to peak in tomorrow's final.
The outcome of the match would depend a lot on the bowling attack of either sides.
The first five matches were all high-scoring ones with the bowlers often reduced to watching the run-feast helplessly.
Even a Mervyn Dillon or an Anil Kumble with all his experience behind him failed to trouble the batsmen on placid Indian pitches. While Dillon, reportedly nursing an injury, has not played in the last two matches, a woefully out of form Kumble has missed the last three.
But the previous match at Jodhpur saw a departure from the trend and bowlers did manage to make a mark — Ajit Agarkar being declared the man-of-the-match standing testimony to the fact.
West Indies skipper Carl Hooper admitted the pitch at Jodhpur had something in it for the bowlers and had they managed to bat out their quota of 50 overs and scored a 20-30 runs more, they were in with a chance of victory.
But a West Indies victory would have meant a reversal in the trend that has seen teams batting second winning in the series.
Given this trend, the toss would be vital tomorrow though the teams would like to be prepared for any situation in the all-important match.
Both sides are expected to retain more or less the same playing eleven. India may drop Reetinder Singh Sodhi, recalled into the side after almost an year, after the all-rounder failed with the bat at a crucial juncture in the Indian innings.
Though Sodhi did not get to bowl in the match, it is likely that India will include the more trusted bowler Harbhajan Singh.
Left-arm spinner Murali Kartik is certain to play after his disciplined bowling contributed to India's victory in the fourth and sixth matches of the series.
Teams (from):
India: Rahul Dravid (captain), Virender Sehwag, V V S Laxman, Dinesh Mongia, Sanjay Bangar, Mohammad Kaif, Yuvraj Singh, Reetinder Singh Sodhi, Ajit Agarkar, Harbhajan Singh, Murali Kartik, Javagal Srinath, Ashish Nehra, Sarandeep Singh, Parthiv Patel.
West Indies: Carl Hooper (captain), Chris Gayle, Wavell Hinds, Marlon Samuels, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ricardo Powell, Ridley Jacobs, Mervyn Dillon, Cameron Cuffy, Pedro Collins, Vasbert Drakes, Jermaine Lawson, Daren Ganga, Corey Collymore. PTI
THE West Indies would have ideally wanted to come to Vijayawada after winning the series in Jodhpur itself. However, the pendulum swung the other way with India ensuring that the hosts remained in the running. It's good for cricket when a series is alive till the last match. It's very rare to see that happen in a seven-match series, but since both teams seem to be sparring without being able to land the knockout blow, we now have a final on our hands.
We have a few injuries in the squad with Mervyn Dillon yet to be fully fit. Germaine Lawson has joined the squad, and this means we still have some options in the bowling department even if Dillon is not available. I spoke to Carl Hooper and he said that the facilities and conditions are similar to the ones you find elsewhere in India. I guess both captains are too preoccupied with the business of finishing the series on a winning note to be worried about other stuff. The game at Jodhpur brought some sanity back into the series. The bowlers had the upper hand for a change and with the wicket being a little slow, bowlers from both sides varied their pace quite expertly. The bowlers felt that the slower they bowled the more effective they would be. Such wickets are the true test of a batsman. It tests your ability to adapt your style, restrict some strokes and also redetermine your target score. I think the West Indies batsmen took a little too long to figure it out and fell short of the ideal target by 30 runs. This was a little disappointing, but the bowlers did bowl well to make the Indians fight for their win.
Once again both sides dropped crucial catches. This is one area that needs to be addressed by the management of both teams. We have seen for too many chances go down at important moments.
Eventually, I think tomorrow's match will be won by the team that manages and plans their innings better. The West Indies have played great cricket in the series so far, and if they do win tomorrow, they will be deserving winners. For the Indians the road has been much tougher than they expected, especially after trouncing us 2-0 in the Test.
However, West Indies have been doing quite well in one-dayers this year, with a win over New Zealand before coming here.
They will be very eager to win an away series before the World Cup. They are just one match away from claiming the TVS Cup. I known they can do it, but it remains to see whether India will allow them to. (Gameplan)
WEST Indies have done very well to reach a stage where they have an equal chance of winning the one-day series. If they win tomorrow, they would have created an upset of sorts because beating India in India is not the easiest of things.
If the Test series was any indication, it was expected that India would make a clean sweep of the one-day series. But, I must say, the Indian team didn't reckon with the fight West Indies put up. So, both the teams have much to play for in tomorrow's final match at Vijaywada.
I would back India to win the match and series but in one-day cricket you never know what can happen and when. The way the West Indies batsmen have batted in the series, they cannot be underestimated. Chris Gayle, Wavell Hinds, Ramnaresh Sarwan have been in tremendous touch and the Indian bowlers will be looking to make early inroads into their batting. It remains to be seen whether Javagal Srinath, Ajit Agarkar and Murali Kartik are able to repeat their showing of the Jodhpur tie. In my mind, I am clear that bowlers will decide the fate of the match. The side which bowls better on the day should win the match.
India have found two able players who will now have to be given permanent roles in the side. Kartik has shown what a left-arm spinner can do to a side while Sanjay Bangar has been the silent hero of the series. He was a different player in the Test series but in the one-dayers he has come of age. His bowling has been steady while his batting in the late stages of the innings has been instrumental in India winning at least two of the three matches they have won so far.
Both Bangar and Kartik are now on the verge of selection for the World Cup and credit for this goes to their hard work only.
Rahul Dravid has been another player who has shown his class. Without any doubt he is the man every captain would want to have in his team because he is selfless. He is keeping wickets so that the balance of the team is not disturbed while his batting this year has been a revelation. Well done Dravid but you have to complete the task in front of you.
The Australians, who comprehensively won the opening Brisbane Test by 384 runs inside four days, looked poised for another massive win on the fourth day here on Sunday after declaring with a first innings lead of 210 runs.
Australia called a halt to their run spree at 552 for nine late on a long, hot day in the field for England and then had the tourists on the run in the 12 remaining overs.
At stumps, England were on the ropes at 36 for three with captain Nasser Hussain bowled by Andy Bichel four balls from the end of the day's play. First innings centurion Michael Vaughan was 17 not out.
Australia batted themselves into an impregnable position on a baking day with Ponting scoring 154, his fifth century in his last seven Tests.
He shared in a record third-wicket stand of 242 runs with Damien Martyn (95) to establish the platform for some lusty hitting by Adam Gilchrist and Andy Bichel.
Bichel crashed 48 off 56 balls and the ever-dangerous Gilchrist smacked 54 off 67 deliveries with four fours and two sixes. Their eighth-wicket partnership yielded 77 runs in 61 minutes.
Gilchrist was throwing his bat at everything when he was caught behind signalling an innings closure by Steve Waugh in order to have a crack at the weary Englishman.
There was instant reward for Australia with Jason Gillespie trapping Marcus Trescothick lbw for a duck and Mark Butcher (4) lasted four balls before he fell lbw to Glenn McGrath in the third over leaving England at 17 for 2.
Just when England looked like they could negotiate to stumps without further loss Bichel came on for his first over and with his second ball clean bowled Hussain.

Yousuf Youhana's seventh limited overs century proved the cornerstone of Pakistan's seven-run win over Zimbabwe in the first one day international today.
Youhana scored an unbeaten 141 off 147 balls with 13 fours and a six as Pakistan totalled 302 for four on a flat pitch after winning the toss and choosing to bat.
Zimbabwe battled to 295 for nine with Andy Flower topscoring on 77 and Craig Evans hitting 68.
The second game in the five-match series is in Bulawayo tomorrow.
Yousuf Youhana confirmed his status as Pakistan's top batsman in the first of five one-day internationals against Zimbabwe at the Queens Sports Club here today.
He coasted to 141 runs against a hapless Zimbabwe in 147 balls and his classy contribution produced a total of 302 for four wickets which was almost certainly beyond Zimbabwe's reach.
It was Youhana's highest one-day international score, beating his previous 129. With Shaheed Elahi, who stroked 53 from 69 balls, Youhana put on 126 for the second wicket and with Inzamam ul Haq he added a further 109.

Tiger Woods failed to rekindle any magic on the greens today and remained eight strokes behind Japan's Kaname Yokoo after the third round of the $ 1.67 m Dunlop Phoenix event.
Woods posted a two-under par 69, but his inability to master the undulating greens at Phoenix Country Club at Mizayaki, southern Japan, may have cost him the chance of adding Asia's richest tournament to his six victories this year.
Local hero Yokoo fired three birdies and one bogey in a stiffening breeze to match Woods' round of 69 to lead by a shot from Darren Clarke at 13-under par after 54 holes.
"I was struggling to make pars on the front nine. The wind was giving me problems and I let my rythmn get too fast," said Yokoo.
"Tiger was hitting it good on the range and I expected him to make a run but it was Darren Clarke, which comes as no surprise as he is a good player."
Clarke had two eagles - including a seven-iron second shot to the par-four fifth that flew straight into the cup - in his six-under par 6 5 and is one ahead of Myanmar's Zaw Moe, with Spanish ace Sergio Garcia a shot further adrift.
"I swang the club really poorly yesterday but I went down to the range and worked on my posture for about two hours and felt better," said Clarke.
"Sixty-five was possibly the worst score I could have shot today with the chances I had. I played a lot better today for 65 than I did for 64 (in the first round)."
However, Woods, the best golfer in the world, did not fare as well as the Ulsterman and continued to suffer a torrid time on the slick greens.
The world number one played superbly from tee-to-green but for the second day in succession, the putts refused to drop.
Asked the reason behind his putting woes, Woods, the winner of eight major championships on the world's most challenging courses, replied simply: "I don't know."
"I've hit good putts but the good putts don't go in and the bad putts aren't even close. But I have actually hit some really good putts that have just skirted the edge," he said.
After three-putting the fourth hole for par, Woods hit back with a superb six-iron second shot to eight feet of the hole at the 521 yard par-five seventh hole, but missed the eagle putt.
A sand wedge to six feet on the eighth moved him to two-under par but a missed birdie putt on the ninth and a three-putt on the 10th knocked the wind out of his sails.
"I was about two feet (away on 10), if that, and I just hit a bad putt and blocked it," he said.
With his temper simmering close to boiling point, Woods hammered a 363 yard drive on the par-five 560 yard closing hole and nailed an eight iron to seven feet — but again failed to find the bottom of the cup.
Woods refused to make excuses or find fault with the golf course or the greens.
"The greens are in absolute perfect shape and after the rain they got a couple of days ago they're still really quick."
Woods, who is famous for his final-day charges, warned against writing him off too soon.
"I just need to make a few putts in the round early on to get going and hopefully I can get up there," he said.
"If I have a reasonable chance on the back nine, then anything can happen. But obviously I need to get off to that good start on the front nine. I just haven't been able to do it so far." AFP
The all-important goal for Salgaocar came as early as in the seventh minute of the first half through Tomba Singh, when JCT defender Daljit Singh back-passed the ball to goalkeeper Arvind Kumar. He was bit late to clear it but Tomba Singh who was lurking inside the goal pounced upon the opportunity and shot into the net 1-0.
Salgaocar with this win increased their tally to four points from three outings with a win, draw and defeat. This was JCT's first match of the championship and failed to open their account.
Earlier in the very first minute, JCT could have been in the lead had not Salgaocar goalkeeper Juje Siddi brought off a fine save off a power packed left footer carpet drive shot from Jaswinder Singh off a pass from I.M. Vijayan.
Salgaocar then took over and made raid after raid in the visitor's citadel and could have been up by at least three goals at the breather had they utilised the gilt-edged opportunities before them.
In the very second minute of the first half, Salgaocar's Dudu Omaghemi missed a sitter. Dudu, only had to tap the ball into the net when JCT goalkeeper was out of his position but he shot wide. UNI

OK, they weren't joking, but to me, the funny part I guess is the whole "being done…" with upgrading/etc the ClearyDome.
IN any case, the home tour, which I've done a few times with the folks and how I got to meet Donna Sink, is this weekend. It's the first time I've been in town for it in a few years.
Hopefully at some point the Dome will in fact be part of the tour, but we are pretty far from that just yet.
This year looks to have a nice, compact map that folks can walk/bike to all the locations.

Depending on the season, the places you visit, and the people to meet or travel with, each holiday has its own charm.
In winter a lot of people choose to go on a ski vacation. Of course, it will involve lots of snow, but there can be various reasons for choosing this type of vacation, depending on what each person seeks to achieve.
No matter if a ski vacation is made together with family, friends or colleagues (team buildings can be very successful as well) it's always nice to simply leave the daily stress behind and just cool-down with a simple breath of cold, fresh and clean mountain air. Another thing is for sure as well: you'll always see happy faces around, of people relaxing and having fun on the slopes.
Of course, the physical part is an important one, no matter if you're a pro or not. Stretching your legs on a slope may seem difficult at first for someone who has not been a very active person, but stretching and strengthening will help you have a better experience. in getting the muscles to work-out a little bit you will get stronger so you may want to do some strengthening and stretching before you take your trip as well to avoid injuries.
Skiing is a perfect way to keep the body and mind in a fit shape.
Going down a slope, regardless of its difficulty level, means coordinating moves, muscles, and techniques. It also involves reflexes and adrenaline, but perhaps one of the most important feelings, is the way going down a slope clears the mind. Going down the slope makes someone forget about everything else and just focus on the moment, on getting the right turns, balance, grip, speed. In a way, it keeps the mind busy, but on the other hand skiing is setting it free at the very same time.
Going on a ski vacation will surely mean visiting a lot of interesting places. Most of the mountain areas full of snow have very spectacular views so don't forget your camera.
Besides sliding down the slopes, trekking in the surroundings is another great activity to do. There are many sparkeling vistas and lots of different scenery to enjoy. It allows seeing many beautiful places, learning many new things (or teaching the others around), hearing nice stories and, perhaps most important, bring that desired level of relaxation that probably everyone going on a ski vacation is looking for. It will surely help someone with getting away from the modern life daily routine.
When coming back from a skiing vacation there will always be nice, happy, funny moments to remember and so many stories to tell the families, friends or colleagues.
Many people actually made a true hobby out of this outdoor activity. After a skiing vacation in a mountain area covered in snow, it is probably impossible not to come back fully reloaded and with a great lust for life. After all, perhaps this is what a ski vacation is all about: snow, friends, a lot of fun and a major lust for life.

it would have been the equivalent of a military surrender.
the Japanese Imperial Army and Navy would have been disbanded.
Japanese industry would have been destroyed.
Japanese people would have been forced to work in American corpolations for American profit.
At a slave like existence.
Japan would have become like any other European colony.
Japanese leaders knew that the chance of victory was slim.
But by fighting so courageously,the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy bought Japan time.
America shocked by the tenacity of the Japanese military.
America could not totally destroy Japan.
This was to be the core of Japanese post war prosperity and power.
For this,millions of Japanese soldiers,sailors,and civilians sacrificed their lives.

New, Improved Craigslist: Now w/ 100% Less Craig
by Chad Weirick — Saturday, August 25, 2007, 01:00 AM EDT
After the mayor of Atlanta, Shirley Franklin, leveled allegations of child prostitution against Craigslist, it was reported that Craig Newmark may have stepped back from some of his more demanding corporate duties.
Mr. Newmark's profile was removed from the management page on the site, which opened the door to a lot of questions. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that they asked Craigslist spokesperon, Susan MacTavish Best, for details and she allegedly made a comment that Mr. Newmark was no longer involved in the daily affairs of the company.
That early report is now being contradicted by the man himself, with Newmark's profile returning to the management page and addressing the rumors:
"In a couple of conversations on phone and Facebook, Newmark said he was still working at the company as a "customer service representative." He had no explanation for Best's comments about his lack of involvement in the company's "daily affairs" -- "customer service" seeming to be one of those "daily affairs" companies must deal with -- save to say that she told him she didn't make the comments attributed to her by the Journal-Constitution, and that he's still engaged in "heavy customer service" every day. As to his disappearance from the Craigslist management page, Newmark didn't know why it had been recently changed to remove him, but pointed out that the updated page now matched his claims, put forward for years, not to be involved in the company's management."
Was the original story correct, and now the company is backpedalling to save face or was this just a massive mistake? What do you think?

Elon Musk is officially single, will he date Amber Heard after divorce?
Amber Heard and Elon Musk have faced rumors of a romance for months, but will they get together following his divorce?
Elon Musk is single and ready to mingle, but will he do so with Amber Heard, who is also newly singer after her divorce from Johnny Depp earlier this year? According to a new report, Musk has been linked to Heard for months and was recently spotted with the actress.
On November 17, TMZ confirmed Musk had divorced Talulah Riley -- for the second time. As the outlet confirmed, the judge on their divorce case has just signed legal documents to make the dissolution of their marriage official and the agreed upon settlement makes it completely clear that the now-ex-couple had a prenuptial agreement which gave Riley a cash payment in lieu of all support.
Two years ago, Musk filed for divorce from Talulah Riley but two months later, he withdrew his request. At the time of Musk's first filing in 2014, TMZ was told that Musk and Riley's prenuptial agreement would award Riley with $16 million. However, when it comes to their new documents, no designated amount was given. Prior to Musk and Riley's divorce finalization this time around, it was Riley who filed for divorce.
Prior to his marriage to Riley, Musk was married to first wife Justine Wilson, an author from Canada.
The former couple was married from 2000 to 2008 and share six children. Sadly, their first son, Nevada Alexander Musk, died of sudden infant death syndrome at just 10 weeks old. In the years that followed, Musk and Wilson welcomed five more sons after Wilson underwent in vitro fertilization, including twins Griffin and Xavier and triplets Damian, Saxon and Kai.
Following Heard's messy split from Depp, she reportedly spent time with the Tesla Motors founder in Miami and, as another TMZ report revealed earlier this year, they also enjoyed a one-on-one dinner date at his Los Angeles home.
While no new photos have surfaced of Musk and Depp in recent weeks, TMZ claimed the couple had been seen together recently.


Tints and Dispositions is an exhibition catalogue for the synonymous exhibition by Gilles Massot, presented at Grey Projects from 21 March to 28 April 2017.
The exhibition featured prints and photographic material from Gilles' first show in Singapore in 1985, and marked the launch of our curatorial focus on historicising the making of recent art— tracing the development of artistic practices through the re-exhibition and re-contextualisation of earlier under-seen works.
This publication contains images of works from the exhibition, as well as a conversation between Gilles Massot, Shubigi Rao, and Kelvin Ang, in which they reflect on Massot's art practice over the years; discuss the early sense of freedom and spontaneity in art making in Singapore and its evolution into the present time through various influences; and touch on peripheral issues such as the colonial gaze and the medium of photography.
Join Gilles and us on Jan 13th as we celebrate the launch of Tints and Dispositions! The launch will be followed by a special rooftop screening of Singapore from BW to C v.2.0.17, a short film by Gilles Massot. Through animation of still images, computer screen capture, and some live situation shooting in and around the National Library, this 31mn movie presents an overview of the works then exhibited in 1985 and the places featured in the photographs, along with a commentary narrating the genesis of the work within the context of the emerging contemporary local art scene.
Gilles Massot is a multidisciplinary artist and academic whose work based on the idea of "the space between things" aims to establish links and decipher the narratives existing between disciplines, people, occurrences and parts of the world. His visual art practice more specifically deals with the theory of photography and its relation to time and space.
After studying architecture and photography in Marseille, he came to live in Singapore in 1981. His early participation in the local art scene saw him involved in a string of seminal art events, including the first editions of the Festival of Arts Fringe and the 1987 Yin Yang Festival. In the 1990S he travelled extensively across Asia and Europe, a way of living that resulted in over fifty exhibitions, and an extensive body of editorial work published in diverse magazines in Asia and Europe.
With the new century, his focus shifted onto academia and research. His book Bintan, Phoenix of the Malay Archipelago (2003) had a profound influence on his artistic process, since then often dealing with history and ethnology in the form of mix-media works. This was followed in 2006 by an MA-FA dealing with the apparition of the photographic idea in the 18th century in relation to the notion of "image" as found in the English garden. He recently completed a research on Jules Itier who did the first daguerreotypes of China, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Viet Nam in 1844-45.
He currently lives in Singapore where he teaches at LASALLE College of the Arts. His work is part of the LTA Integrated Art Program (Buona Vista Station), the Singapore Art Museum and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris among other collections. He is a recipient of the French cultural award Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.

Ann F.
"I want to recognize your devoted Rock & Roll Forever Foundation team who exceeded my expectations as an education professional. The entire experience was top shelf. Between the deep dive into the TeachRock content and the two and one half hour soul revue by your band, I have memories that will last a lifetime. It is very exciting to share the common bond of furthering rock music education. Thank you for opening the music of our heart to this vital initiative. I love being a Teach Rock 'Disciple of Soul'."
Edward J.
"This was so great! Thank you for being such an inspiring advocate for teachers. I can't wait to try '3 song playlist' with my students!"

"The opportunity to communicate with other educators was so valuable.To be able to collaborate and hear their point of view was interesting. Walking through the lessons with the team leaders was brilliant."
Margaret B.
"I recently attended your professional development at the Hard Rock at Universal. I was beyond 'blown away' and I cannot wait to use the materials in my U.S. History classes next school year. I also want to spread my excitement and enthusiasm to my colleagues."
Laura L-Z.
"Thank you so much for the opportunity to attend the workshop. My colleague and i absolutely loved it, and we were so inspired, we planned out our whole year for next year! And we want to share it with our colleagues. We are hoping to include the info and website in a professional development presentation next year. I might be in touch down the line for more guidance on that. Thanks!"

It's hard to imagine Walt Disney World becoming any more magical, but during the holidays you'll find even more magic around every corner.
Held between early November and the week of Christmas at the Magic Kingdom, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is an extra special treat for families. Little ones will love the children's dance party with DJ Kringle at Club Tinsel and live shows, like "Mickey's Most Merriest Celebration" on the steps of Cinderella's castle. The Holiday Wishes fireworks spectacular lights up the sky each night at 10 p.m.
At Disney Springs, walk along the Christmas Tree Trail to see 15 Christmas trees decorated in the spirit of classic Disney characters and movies. There's a "Mickey and Minnie" tree, a "Beauty and the Beast" tree, even a "Frozen" tree. Don't miss the festive tree lighting ceremony each night at 6 p.m.
While at Disney Springs, see the brand new show, "Starbright Holidays – An Intel Collaboration." Starting in late November and running through early January, 300 drones will light up the sky in twice-nightly performances. Set to classic holiday tunes, the synchronized drones dance and sparkle to the delight of guests throughout the holiday season.
A holiday favorite at Epcot, the Candlelight Processional returns from late November through late December. Each night, a celebrity narrator reads the Christmas story accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra and robed choir. Past celebrity readers have included Whoopi Goldberg, Meredith Vieira and Neil Patrick Harris. No special tickets are required, but seats do fill up quickly.
While at Epcot, enjoy festive holiday decorations, foods and activities at each of the 11 nations in the World Showcase. Watch a traditional Feliz Navidad celebration in Mexico or celebrate Three Kings Day near World Showcase Plaza with shredded beef tamales, coconut milk and avocado crema. Every country is dolled up for the holidays. Look for Santa and Mrs. Claus at The American Adventure.
At Disney's Hollywood Studios, a new holiday nighttime spectacular complete with special effects, festive music and fireworks enchants audiences nightly. The new "Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!" takes guests on a journey to return Santa to the North Pole by Christmas Eve. Scenes from Bambi, Cinderella and The Nightmare Before Christmas come alive on the buildings inside the park.
Look for special dessert parties throughout Walt Disney World during the holidays, like the Fireworks Dessert Party at Tomorrowland Terrace. For an extra fee, enjoy chocolate-dipped strawberries, character-themed desserts, even create-your-own cookies, as well as hot drinks, like cocoa and apple cider. As a bonus, you'll have access to a special viewing area for the nightly fireworks show.
During the holidays, look for two behind-the-scenes tours, including Disney's Yuletide Fantasy, a three-hour behind-the-scenes look into how Walt Disney World gets ready for the holidays. The second tour, Disney's Holiday D-Lights, takes guests on a five-hour tour to learn how the decorating team lights up the entire Walt Disney World resort, including all four parks and multiple on-property hotels.
Frozen's Queen Elsa appears twice nightly as part of "A Frozen Holiday Wish," using her powers to transform Cinderella's castle into an ice palace, illuminating the castle with more than 200,000 sparkling twinkle lights. Little ones will love seeing Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf sing and dance before the castle begins to shimmer, shine and sparkle. A quick burst of fireworks completes this magical show.
Twice nightly, line Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom for Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade featuring Mickey, Minnie, Anna and Elsa, as well as marching toy soldiers and gingerbread men. Even Santa makes an appearance and you may see snow fall (yes, even in Orlando). Before or after the parade, take time to explore the storefronts that are all dressed up for the holidays.
