Radio Shack Shutting Down 26% Of Stores
By Stephen Green Mar 06, 2014 9:30 AM ET
Radio Shack will close "underperforming" stores — and lots of them:
The struggling consumer electronics retailer announced Tuesday that it plans to close up to 1,100 underperforming stores in the U.S., or about 26% of its current company-owned stores.
"Over the past few months, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of our portfolio from many angles — location, area demographics, lease life and financial performance — in order to consolidate our store base into fewer locations while maintaining a strong presence in each market," RadioShack CEO Joseph Magnacca said in a statement. "The result of that review is our plan to close up to 1,100 underperforming stores. We will continue to have a strong, unmatched presence across the U.S. with over 4,000 stores including over 900 dealer franchise locations."
There is (was?) (soon won't be?) a Radio Shack in here my tiny bedroom town of Monument, CO. The last time I was in there was about three years ago, when I absolutely had to buy an overpriced audio cable right the heck then. And I didn't recognize the place as anything like the Radio Shack I used to know. Or as Jim Dalrymple said, "the RadioShack I grew up with lost its soul."
I was reminded of what happened to The Sharper Image. What was once a place to geek out on really cool, hard-to-find nerd toys became a purveyor of gimmicky plastic crap.
Such a shame.

MOJAVE, California — On Friday, Sir Richard Branson unveiled Virgin Galactic's newest space plane named Unity with much fanfare: Branson stood up in the sunroof of a Land Rover as the car rolled the ship into the hangar here at the Mojave Air and Space Port.
Virgin Galactic hopes that this suborbital SpaceShipTwo will be the first in a fleet of commercially operated space planes that will bring paying customers to the edge of space and back again.
But Branson has even bigger plans for Virgin Galactic in the future.

"Why shouldn't we go on to maybe creating a ... one astronaut two people orbital vehicle?" Branson said during a press briefing. "We will start to do that."
He also suggested that Virgin Galactic may have a role to play when the International Space Station is retired in 2024.
"Since the Space Station has only got a few years to run, why shouldn't we be involved in helping replace the Space Station and see what we can do on that?" Branson added.
Branson thinks that Virgin Galactic could also possibly help defend Earth from potentially dangerous asteroids some time down the line, and even use some kind of craft to help clean up space junk in orbit.

And as if that weren't enough, the billionaire also believes that Virgin Galactic may do something in the future to bring wireless Internet to more people around the world.
"That could transform peoples' lives," Branson said.
Virgin Galactic and Branson have a long way to go before they get there, however.
The company's spaceship rollout today marks the start of Virgin Galactic's second act as a private spaceflight outfit. The first SpaceShipTwo — named Enterprise — disintegrated during a failure in 2014, killing one pilot and leaving the other with serious injuries.
Unity will now be put through its paces as a space vehicle.
Before it ever takes to the skies, engineers on the ground will need to verify the space plane's systems, after that, it will start its first tests in the air.
Eventually, Virgin Galactic hopes that SpaceShipTwo will fly to suborbital space, bringing paying space tourists up about 100 kilometers above the planet, allowing them to experience weightlessness and see the blue Earth against the blackness of space.
Virgin Galactic isn't the only company aiming for these great heights.
XCOR Aerospace is also developing a new suborbital space plane, and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin is currently testing its New Shepard space system to fly people to space and back in a capsule.
Elon Musk's SpaceX and Boeing are both planning to start flying astronauts to the Space Station under a contract with NASA. Those flights should begin sometime in 2017 if everything sticks to schedule.

Del Mar council approves city manager pay raise
Del Mar Town Hall

By Brittany Woolsey
The Del Mar City Council granted City Manager Scott Huth a pay raise and bonus at the council meeting Dec. 3.
Following the council's 4 to 1 vote — with Council member Dave Druker dissenting — Huth will be paid $226,114, a 2 percent merit increase from his current base salary of $221,680, beginning Jan. 1, 2019. Huth, who was originally hired by the city in 2012, was also given a one-time 2 percent bonus of $4,434.
A majority of the council appeared to agree that Huth's efforts in financial management, as well as his efforts with the city's move to a new civic center and city hall, made him qualified for the pay raise.
Druker, who also voted against Huth's last raise in February, said he did not believe Huth has met expectations this year.
Druker and Mayor Dwight Worden voted against the city manager's raise in February following controversy over how Huth handled the firing of Pat Vergne, Del Mar's longtime chief lifeguard. Last year's uproar spurred the council to bring in an outside expert to review Huth's performance in unprecedented detail.
While he did not elaborate this time on why he believed Huth has not met expectations, Druker did say his decision was not based on the dispute between the city manager and Vergne.
"I understand that some of the council members somehow think that my view is jaundice based upon trying to appease a group of people in town that cannot ever be satisfied with anything the city does," Druker said. "I would have them look at what my background is."
He added that he's spent 14 years on council and has worked with three city managers.
Worden noted 2017 as "uncomfortable" but that didn't reflect his decision now.
"We should move on," he said. "That shouldn't color what we do now."
Worden added he believed Huth succeeded in meeting more with the community, attending more committee meetings, hiring good staff and managing the city's finances.
"I think a lot of what a city manager, including Scott, is responsible for is stuff that most people don't see, but it's really important," Worden said.

Applications and Academy Graduates for March 2017
April 18, 2017by Tristan Wolf in Academy Training
Every month, the Academy staff works to compile the statistics about our recruiting and training for the fleet's informational purposes. Let's take a look at how we did as a fleet in March.
This first graph shows the number of applications that we have received each month this year. During the month of March, the fleet saw five new applications. This equates to roughly one new application every six days. Looks like we got our usual "February slump" a bit late this year!
The following chart shows how our new members found us, according to their application:
This final graph shows how many people graduated from the Academy during the month of March . We had five Academy graduates in March. This number includes two applicants who applied at the end of February but whose training did not conclude until the beginning of March. We also had two applicants who began training but did not complete it until after the start of April.
These new recruits are the lifeblood of our community. Without them, it becomes difficult to keep our ships fully crewed and even more difficult to grow the fleet. If you'd like to help us recruit more members and grow our fleet, you can join the Publicity Team using this form.

From Kabul to Cairo, the Killing and Jailing of Journalists Continues
Web ExclusiveApril 10, 2014
This is viewer supported news. Please do your part today.
By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan
Journalism is not a crime. This is the rallying cry in demanding the release of four Al-Jazeera journalists imprisoned in Egypt. Three of them–Peter Greste, Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed–have just passed their hundredth day of incarceration. The fourth, Abdullah al-Shami, has been in jail for more than six months. They have been charged with "spreading lies harmful to state security and joining a terrorist organization." Of course, the only thing they were doing was their job.
Anja Niedringhaus also was doing her job as a photographer for The Associated Press when she was murdered last week in Khost, Afghanistan. She was covering the preparations for Afghanistan's national election, and was sitting in her car with AP reporter Kathy Gannon when an Afghan police officer opened fire, killing Niedringhaus and wounding Gannon.
Niedringhaus' work captured the brutality of war, and the hope of humanity. She began her career as a teenager, photographing the fall of the Berlin Wall in her native Germany. She went on to work for the European Pressphoto Agency, where she covered the war in the Balkans, the aftermath of Sept. 11 in New York City, and then on to the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. In 2002, she moved on to the AP, where she covered Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as major international sporting events like the World Cup and Wimbledon. When scrolling through the images of our times that she left behind, you are struck by the courage, the talent and the ability to capture and transmit an instant in time charged with the full weight of history.
Niedringhaus is one of too many journalists killed while performing a critical public service: journalism.
Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya wrote, in 2003, "Is journalism worth dying for?" She was reporting on the attempted murder of a colleague at the fiercely independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta. She wrote: "If the price of truth is so high, perhaps we should just stop, and find a profession with less risk of 'major unpleasantness.' How much would society, for whose sake we are doing this work, care?" Politkovskaya answered her rhetorical question through action, by continuing to cover power in Russia, especially the presidency of Vladimir Putin. She was murdered three years later, on Oct. 7, 2006. Her killing had the hallmarks of a contract killing, as have the murders of other journalists in Russia.
Neither death nor imprisonment should be the punishment for reporting the news. The Committee to Protect Journalists compiles statistics and organizes campaigns to defend threatened journalists, free those in prison and demand accountability for journalists killed. CPJ provides direct aid for journalists facing imminent threats, including medical and legal help, and relocation. Since 1992, CPJ reports, there have been 1,054 journalists killed worldwide.

JBL Bar 5.1 review
Mark Craven | Jul 11, 2018
JBL adds wireless rears to a soundbar to deliver 5.1 on-demand sonics
JBL's Bar 5.1 aims to bridge the gap between the soundbar norm and a multichannel setup, by the addition of wireless surround speakers that unclip from the main enclosure. The idea being that you can bring these out for movie night, and reattach them to the 'bar afterwards.
It's a concept that we've seen before. In 2013, Philips introduced its HTL9100, matching a soundbar (with detachable surrounds) to a subwoofer. Two years later, it followed with the Fidelio B5. Now JBL has embraced the idea. It's also embraced the £600 price tag that Philips assigned for its multipurpose products.
The USP of the Bar 5.1 is that its surround speakers are entirely cable-free. Unlike the wireless accessory packs offered with some soundbars, these don't require a mains power connection. Instead, they charge their internal battery when docked to the 'bar. JBL says to get to a full charge takes around three hours, and subsequently offers around ten hours of playback. They will go into standby (or power down) if not receiving a signal after 10 and 20 minutes respectively, helping to keep their juice levels up, and can be physically powered down via a switch on their bodywork. But note that they only charge when the 'bar is in standby mode, not powered up, which might be a bit of an irritation.
When the surrounds are locked to the soundbar unit, the whole shebang measures over a metre wide. Styling is quite neat, however, with a slim, curved, black-wrapped chassis topped off by source, volume and power buttons, and a JBL logo on the front. A scrolling display appears to the right of this, peeking through the grille, large enough to read from across a room.
Controlling the Bar 5.1 is via a remote that impresses with its layout (and separate volume controls for subwoofer and wireless surround), but feels about as rugged in the hand as a plastic toy from a box of cornflakes.
Boosting usability is the soundbar's generous connectivity. There's Bluetooth, which is par for the course these days, but also a USB input for music playback. To connect to a display, there's either optical digital audio or HDMI ARC, the latter joined by a trio of HDMI inputs able to pass 4K HDR signals.
There are 11 drivers split across the soundbar and its two surround buddies. The L/C/R channels each get a pair of 3in x 1.75in racetrack drivers and 0.75in tweeter. There are no height pretensions here (Dolby Atmos or otherwise); all are front-facing – something to remember when positioning the single-driver (midbass) surround modules.
The subwoofer, which stands 44cm high and around 30cm deep, perhaps seems a little outsized compared to the svelte soundbar. But its portly figure is justified by its 10in downfiring woofer, larger than most designs found in soundbar packages. It connects wirelessly to the 'bar. There's a pairing button on its rear, below a large port, but I didn't once have to press this.
So, depending on how your AV source gear is configured, you could set up the Bar 5.1 with just a single wire from your TV, and no other cable spaghetti to worry about beyond mains leads. Neat.
Bass layer
Unsurprisingly, the JBL Bar 5.1's 10in subwoofer has a lot of impact on the system's overall performance. Its level is adjustable from 0-30, and is set to 16 on default. This gives you a decent amount of flexibility, and a chance to experiment. I was tempted to keep the sub running hot to round out the performance of the other drivers (and because, erm, I like bass), but this naturally means it can suddenly sound over-bearing during weighty moments. I ended up with it set at 17.
Explosions, punches, LFE swells, crumbling buildings... the Bar 5.1 loves them all. It has a gutsy attitude, and imparts generous scale to onscreen action, while sounding pleasingly tight. The climactic fight between Creed and Conlan in Creed (Blu-ray), sees boxing gloves land with taut, meaty thwacks.
The Bar 5.1 surround enclosures may be small, and use only a single driver, but they get the job done. When mounted to the 'bar, the soundstage is entirely in front of you; switch to 5.1 mode (which is as easy as just removing the speakers and placing them either side of your seating position) and the 360-degree crowd noise of the Creed fight (actually the screaming hordes at Everton's Goodison Park, fact fans) immediately becomes apparent. The soundstage envelops. Localised effects, such as Sylvester Stallone's instructions from Creed's corner, come at you left and right; when the score kicks in after a successfully landed punch, it plays out in both surround channels.
Again, though, levels have to be managed and distances considered. These speakers are too diddly to be standmounted, and although they are supplied with brackets for wall-mounting, this seems unlikely as they will need to return to their mother ship for power every once in a while. You'll need to put them wherever you can, and unless you have very specifically placed shelves, you won't end up with the recommended ITU configuration.
To tackle this, JBL supplies a setup mic, which sets levels and delay timing based upon speaker position. It's a quick process, and saves you time tweaking volume (particularly as the remote doesn't allow for isolated adjustment of the left and right surround). It improved the balance in my room, but I still felt that soundmixes with very aggressive surround info, such as the helicopter crash sequence in Kong: Skull Island (Blu-ray), could dominate the performance at the expense of front soundstage delivery. With this disc, I had to lower the level manually.
Furthermore the surround speakers have a different overall characteristic, where their audio sounds more shut in than that of the main 'bar. Get them too loud in the mix, and this can be obvious at times.
Some trial and error is therefore required, and more user input (even as far as repositioning speakers) than you'd usually expect from an AVR-driven system. At times, however, the multichannel presentation of JBL's package slots lushly into place. With Blue Planet II (UHD Blu-ray), I was pleasingly cocooned within its soggy 5.1 soundscapes, where Hans Zimmer's score battles against ocean sprays and clicking dolphins.
Let's play the music
The JBL Bar 5.1 has sound presets for Music, Movie, Standard, Voice, Sports and Night. When using the soundbar in 5.1 guise, Music and Voice sensibly deliver a mono mix to each enclosure. Night mode aims to flatten dynamics of incoming Dolby and DTS bitstreams, although I found it didn't make much of a real impact.
You might think Music is the way to go with your library of streamed and physical tunes, but in one way I preferred the general frequency balance of Movie regardless of content. Def Leppard's glam rock anthem Let It Go (from 1981's High and Dry) sounded lightweight with the Music preset engaged, missing out on a fuller, bass-rich presentation. Of course, with this setting, the JBL will matrix out info to feed to those rear channels, and this can sound odd at times – with Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, Jacko's main lyric remains front and centre, but some of his occasional vocal tics ('Ow!') are thrown wide. For music sessions, I'd perhaps advise reconnecting the speakers for a straight stereo experience.
And it's with music playback in general that the Bar 5.1 shows up a lack of mid-range presence. As noted earlier, the woofer here is vitally important to the overall soundscape; with numerous tracks I found upper-register bass notes lacking the weight of genuine lows, illustrating a weak point around the crossover between sub and mid-range drivers. Treble info can sound more dominant.
Best of both worlds?
JBL's Bar 5.1 is a better bet for movie playback – which is no doubt the idea. Its impressive subwoofer adds a rich undercurrent to its multichannel staging, and dialogue is another strong point. The surround channels can feel a little underpowered compared to the rest of the array, however, and you'll need to find a spot for them that both works sonically and for your room layout. Definitely worth considering if a separates system is off limits and you still want to savour your 5.1 sources.

4/15/2022 Good Friday Tenebrae service
Welcome & Instructions: Thank you for joining us this evening. Our previous gathering was last night for Maundy Thursday where we left the place in candle light. Tonight, the room will get even darker. Readers will come and read a passage then extinguish candles.
The room will grow dark as we progress through the story of "Good Friday." This type of service is known as a Tenebrae service which connects us with the darkness the disciples felt and the darkness Jesus experienced on this holy day.
Unison Prayer: let's open in prayer together. Join me in reading the prayer on the screen out loud.
Holy God, We are caught in the tension of light and shadow, death and resurrection. You spoke the world into being, you illuminated the universe by your very speech, then filled the void with life. Indeed, you have filled the void of darkness and death, the empty promises of the abyss, with new life and new creation. We look to you in the space between the world and the Kingdom, longing for the fulfillment of your word in the work of the Holy Spirit and the reign of Christ, our Creator and King. Amen.
Tenebrae Readings: 15 Candles + Christ Candle.
MERIAH 31-3531 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Tonight you will all fall away because of me. This is because it is written, I will hit the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will go off in all directions.[d] 32 But after I'm raised up, I'll go before you to Galilee." 33 Peter replied, "If everyone else stumbles because of you, I'll never stumble." 34 Jesus said to him, "I assure you that, before the rooster crows tonight, you will deny me three times." 35 Peter said, "Even if I must die alongside you, I won't deny you." All the disciples said the same thing. EXTINGUISH YOUR CANDLE
JOSH 36-46 36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane. He said to the disciples, "Stay here while I go and pray over there." 37 When he took Peter and Zebedee's two sons, he began to feel sad and anxious. 38 Then he said to them, "I'm very sad. It's as if I'm dying. Stay here and keep alert with me." 39 Then he went a short distance farther and fell on his face and prayed, "My Father, if it's possible, take this cup of suffering away from me. However—not what I want but what you want." 40 He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, "Couldn't you stay alert one hour with me? 41 Stay alert and pray so that you won't give in to temptation. The spirit is eager, but the flesh is weak." 42 A second time he went away and prayed, "My Father, if it's not possible that this cup be taken away unless I drink it, then let it be what you want." 43 Again he came and found them sleeping. Their eyes were heavy with sleep. 44 But he left them and again went and prayed the same words for the third time. 45 Then he came to his disciples and said to them, "Will you sleep and rest all night? Look, the time has come for the Human One[e] to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up. Let's go. Look, here comes my betrayer."
EXTINGUISH YOUR CANDLE
CHRIS 47-56 47 While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came. With him was a large crowd carrying swords and clubs. They had been sent by the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 His betrayer had given them a sign: "Arrest the man I kiss." 49 Just then he came to Jesus and said, "Hello, Rabbi." Then he kissed him. 50 But Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you came to do." Then they came and grabbed Jesus and arrested him. 51 One of those with Jesus reached for his sword. Striking the high priest's slave, he cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put the sword back into its place. All those who use the sword will die by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I'm not able to ask my Father and he will send to me more than twelve battle groups[f] of angels right away? 54 But if I did that, how would the scriptures be fulfilled that say this must happen?" 55 Then Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come with swords and clubs to arrest me, like a thief? Day after day, I sat in the temple teaching, but you didn't arrest me. 56 But all this has happened so that what the prophets said in the scriptures might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left Jesus and ran away.
BO 57-68 57 Those who arrested Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest. The legal experts and the elders had gathered there. 58 Peter followed him from a distance until he came to the high priest's courtyard. He entered that area and sat outside with the officers to see how it would turn out. 59 The chief priests and the whole council were looking for false testimony against Jesus so that they could put him to death. 60 They didn't find anything they could use from the many false witnesses who were willing to come forward. But finally they found two 61 who said, "This man said, 'I can destroy God's temple and rebuild it in three days.'" 62 Then the high priest stood and said to Jesus, "Aren't you going to respond to the testimony these people have brought against you?" 63 But Jesus was silent. The high priest said, "By the living God, I demand that you tell us whether you are the Christ, God's Son." 64 "You said it," Jesus replied. "But I say to you that from now on you'll see the Human One[g] sitting on the right side of the Almighty[h] and coming on the heavenly clouds."[i] 65 Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "He's insulting God! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, you've heard his insult against God. 66 What do you think?" And they answered, "He deserves to die!" 67 Then they spit in his face and beat him. They hit him 68 and said, "Prophesy for us, Christ! Who hit you?"
ABBY 69-75 69 Meanwhile, Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant woman came and said to him, "You were also with Jesus the Galilean." 70 But he denied it in front of all of them, saying, "I don't know what you are talking about." 71 When he went over to the gate, another woman saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus, the man from Nazareth." 72 With a solemn pledge, he denied it again, saying, "I don't know the man." 73 A short time later those standing there came and said to Peter, "You must be one of them. The way you talk gives you away." 74 Then he cursed and swore, "I don't know the man!" At that very moment the rooster crowed. 75 Peter remembered Jesus' words, "Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times."And Peter went out and cried uncontrollably.
Matthew 27: 1-37
RUTH 1-2 Early in the morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people reached the decision to have Jesus put to death. 2 They bound him, led him away, and turned him over to Pilate the governor.
MERIAH 3-10 3 When Judas, who betrayed Jesus, saw that Jesus was condemned to die, he felt deep regret. He returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, and 4 said, "I did wrong because I betrayed an innocent man." But they said, "What is that to us? That's your problem." 5 Judas threw the silver pieces into the temple and left. Then he went and hanged himself. 6 The chief priests picked up the silver pieces and said, "According to the Law it's not right to put this money in the treasury. Since it was used to pay for someone's life, it's unclean." 7 So they decided to use it to buy the potter's field where strangers could be buried. 8 That's why that field is called "Field of Blood" to this very day. 9 This fulfilled the words of Jeremiah the prophet: And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price for the one whose price had been set by some of the Israelites, 10 and I gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me.[a]
JOSH 11-14 11 Jesus was brought before the governor. The governor said, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus replied, "That's what you say." 12 But he didn't answer when the chief priests and elders accused him. 13 Then Pilate said, "Don't you hear the testimony they bring against you?" 14 But he didn't answer, not even a single word. So the governor was greatly amazed.
CHRIS 15-26 15 It was customary during the festival for the governor to release to the crowd one prisoner, whomever they might choose. 16 At that time there was a well-known prisoner named Jesus Barabbas. 17 When the crowd had come together, Pilate asked them, "Whom would you like me to release to you, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?" 18 He knew that the leaders of the people had handed him over because of jealousy. 19 While he was serving as judge, his wife sent this message to him, "Leave that righteous man alone. I've suffered much today in a dream because of him." 20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and kill Jesus. 21 The governor said, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" "Barabbas," they replied. 22 Pilate said, "Then what should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Crucify him!" 23 But he said, "Why? What wrong has he done?" They shouted even louder, "Crucify him!" 24 Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere and that a riot was starting. So he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I'm innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It's your problem." 25 All the people replied, "Let his blood be on us and on our children." 26 Then he released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus whipped, then handed him over to be crucified.
BO 27-31 27 The governor's soldiers took Jesus into the governor's house, and they gathered the whole company[b] of soldiers around him. 28 They stripped him and put a red military coat on him. 29 They twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They put a stick in his right hand. Then they bowed down in front of him and mocked him, saying, "Hey! King of the Jews!" 30 After they spit on him, they took the stick and struck his head again and again. 31 When they finished mocking him, they stripped him of the military coat and put his own clothes back on him. They led him away to crucify him.
ABBY 32-37 32 As they were going out, they found Simon, a man from Cyrene. They forced him to carry his cross. 33 When they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Skull Place, 34 they gave Jesus wine mixed with vinegar to drink. But after tasting it, he didn't want to drink it. 35 After they crucified him, they divided up his clothes among them by drawing lots. 36 They sat there, guarding him. 37 They placed above his head the charge against him. It read, "This is Jesus, the king of the Jews."
RUTH Isaiah 53:1-12 Who can believe what we have heard, and for whose sake has the Lord's arm[a] been revealed? 2 He grew up like a young plant before us,[b] like a root from dry ground. He possessed no splendid form for us to see, no desirable appearance. 3 He was despised and avoided by others; a man who suffered, who knew sickness well. Like someone from whom people hid their faces, he was despised, and we didn't think about him. 4 It was certainly our sickness that he carried, and our sufferings that he bore, but we thought him afflicted, struck down by God and tormented. 5 He was pierced because of our rebellions and crushed because of our crimes. He bore the punishment that made us whole; by his wounds we are healed. 6 Like sheep we had all wandered away, each going its own way, but the Lord let fall on him all our crimes. 7 He was oppressed and tormented, but didn't open his mouth. Like a lamb being brought to slaughter, like a ewe silent before her shearers, he didn't open his mouth. 8 Due to an unjust ruling he was taken away, and his fate—who will think about it? He was eliminated from the land of the living, struck dead because of my people's rebellion. 9 His grave was among the wicked, his tomb with evildoers,[c] though he had done no violence, and had spoken nothing false. 10 But the Lord wanted to crush him and to make him suffer. If his life is offered[d] as restitution, he will see his offspring; he will enjoy long life. The Lord's plans will come to fruition through him. 11 After his deep anguish he will see light,[e] and he will be satisfied. Through his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, will make many righteous, and will bear their guilt. 12 Therefore, I will give him a share with the great, and he will divide the spoil with the strong, in return for exposing his life to death and being numbered with rebels, though he carried the sin of many and pleaded on behalf of those who rebelled.
EXTINGUSH CANDLE
MERIAH 38-44 38 They crucified with him two outlaws, one on his right side and one on his left. 39 Those who were walking by insulted Jesus, shaking their heads 40 and saying, "So you were going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, were you? Save yourself! If you are God's Son, come down from the cross." 41 In the same way, the chief priests, along with the legal experts and the elders, were making fun of him, saying, 42 "He saved others, but he can't save himself. He's the king of Israel, so let him come down from the cross now. Then we'll believe in him. 43 He trusts in God, so let God deliver him now if he wants to. He said, 'I'm God's Son.'" 44 The outlaws who were crucified with him insulted him in the same way.
JOSH 45-50 45 From noon until three in the afternoon the whole earth was dark. 46 At about three Jesus cried out with a loud shout, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani," which means, "My God, my God, why have you left me?"[c] 47 After hearing him, some standing there said, "He's calling Elijah." 48 One of them ran over, took a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a pole. He offered it to Jesus to drink. 49 But the rest of them said, "Let's see if Elijah will come and save him." 50 Again Jesus cried out with a loud shout. Then he died.
EXTINGUISH FINAL CANDLE
Christ Candle– Christ candle is suddenly and loudly blown out at the end of the reading as lights in the room are turned off so that darkness prevails. Long dark silence.
MERIAH Matthew 27:51-54 51 Look, the curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split, 52 and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised. 53 After Jesus' resurrection they came out of their graves and went into the holy city where they appeared to many people. 54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what had just happened, they were filled with awe and said, "This was certainly God's Son."
SONG: Watch the Lamb– Ray Bolz https://youtu.be/UNT1AThOgME
After the song, the Christ candle is relit with the strike of a match.
Short silence.
Concluding Prayer & Dismissal: The true light that enlightens everyone that came into the world through Christ. Though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. In him was life, and his life was the light of all. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it.
May you walk through the darkness clinging to the light of Christ. Amen
All depart in silence

Stats Comparison KU TCU
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Sophomore outside hitter Tiana Dockery led the Jayhawks with 14 kills as they defeated TCU in three sets, 25-19, 25-13, 25-22, claiming a victory in their 2013 Big 12 Conference debut, Saturday afternoon inside the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Dockery, a Richmond, Texas native, used 32 attempts and committed only one error for a .406 hitting percentage and added three blocks to give Kansas (11-3, 1-0) the sweep over TCU (11-5, 0-2) and the team's seventh-straight win.
The Jayhawks were equally strong defensively, led by redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, who recorded eight total blocks – including a solo rejection that passed former KU great Josi Lima for second all-time in career solo blocks at Kansas (90). Seniors Brianne Riley and Jaime Mathieu protected the back row with 14 digs each.
"Defensively, we were good, too." Kansas head coach Ray Bechard said. "This team leads the Big 12 in hitting percentage at .260 and we held them to .138. Our goal was to hold them under .200 so that's a good number."
Conversely, Kansas' hitting numbers were excellent, raking at a .369 attack percentage in the win – the third time in the last four matches KU has hit .350 or better. In the second set, the Jayhawks pounded out 14 kills without an error for a .667 mark, besting their previous season-high of .650 set at No. 24 Creighton earlier this month.
The Horned Frogs' offense was led by senior middle blocker Yvonne Igodan, who finished the afternoon with 10 kills in the losing effort. Defensively, libero Shane Peters controlled the back line with 15 digs and freshman middle blocker Natalie Gower recorded four blocks.
Kansas came out strong to open the match, taking four of the first five points from the Horned Frogs, 4-1. Despite a 3-0 run from TCU, the Jayhawks continued to control the set with the help of Dockery's three-straight kills to give KU its largest lead of the set, 17-11. KU continued its dominance late in the set and built the lead to six before closing out the Horned Frogs, 25-19, never trailing in the set. Junior outside hitter Chelsea Albers led the Jayhawk attack in the set, finishing with seven kills on 11 attempts for a .636 hitting percentage.
Back-to-back blocks from Dockery sparked a 3-0 run for the Jayhawks to open up the second set and gave them the early advantage, 4-1. Much like the first set, the Jayhawks asserted their dominance and built their lead to seven, 15-8, going into the media timeout. A 4-0 run brought the KU lead to 10, 19-9, before TCU called a timeout to attempt to slow down the Kansas attack. The strategy would work temporarily and as TCU took the next two points out of the timeout, 19-11, but six of the next eight points fell in favor of the Jayhawks as they closed out the set, 25-13. Jarmoc dominated both sides of the net for the Jayhawks, finishing the set a perfect five-for-five offensively to lead the KU attack and recording four blocks to lead the Kansas defense.
TCU took the first point of the third set to give them its first lead of the match, but it wouldn't last long as KU took three of the next four points to regain the advantage, 3-2. The Horned Frogs took back the lead with a 3-0 run to give them a two-point advantage, 6-4. KU quickly re-found its rhythm and connected on four-straight points, until TCU answered with three-straight of its own to retain its lead, 11-10. The Jayhawks had another run in them, connecting on five in a row to take a four-point lead, 15-11, into the media timeout. This time the Jayhawks wouldn't give it back, leading by as many as six before closing out the Horned Frogs, 25-22, for their fifth sweep of the season.
– Senior libero Brianne Riley's 14 digs to moved her into seventh all-time on the Big 12 Conference's career digs list (1,760), passing former Kansas State standout Lauren Mathewson (1,755; 2007-10). Riley is now chasing former Missouri star Tatum Ailes (1,997; 2004-07) for sixth on the all-time list.
– Riley now has double-digit digs in 40-consecutive matches.
– Redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc's 1,141 career kills are the second-most among current Big 12 players. She trails fellow senior Kaitlynn Pelger from Kansas State (1,336).
– Jarmoc's five blocks pulled her closer to the KU all-time blocks leader. Her 483 career blocks ranks second only to Amanda Reves (514; 1996-99).
Kansas hits the road for the first installment of the 2013 Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan. First serve is set for 7 p.m.

Jury selection begins in Ohio trial of foster mother accused in death of toddler
Monday, February 12th 2007, 8:07 pm
BATAVIA, Ohio (AP) _ A woman charged with murder in the death of her developmentally disabled foster son sat quietly at the defense table Monday as potential jurors were asked what they knew and thought about the accusations against her.
Prosecutors say Liz Carroll and her husband wrapped 3-year-old Marcus Fiesel in a blanket, bound him with packing tape and left him in a closet last August while they went to a family reunion in Kentucky for the weekend, returning to find the boy dead. She later reported that Marcus went missing from a suburban Cincinnati park.
Ten of the first 30 prospective jurors who were questioned were excused, but only three because they told Judge Robert Ringland they had strong opinions about the couple's guilt. Jury selection was set to resume Tuesday afternoon.
Carroll, 30, wore a black pantsuit that covered the leg restraints she was ordered to wear. She was brought into the Clermont County courtroom before prospective jurors entered so they would not notice her hobbled walk.
Her husband, David Carroll Jr., also is charged with murder and is to be tried separately next month. They are each being held in lieu of $10.1 million bail.
Liz Carroll's attorney, Gregory Cohen, has asked that the trial be moved from southwest Ohio. Ringland has not ruled on that motion but could at any time if a jury cannot be seated.
Ringland cautioned prospective jurors to stop reading newspapers, listening to news reports or researching the case on the Internet until the trial ends. He said the trial was likely to take two weeks.
Liz Carroll and David Carroll Jr., 29, have pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges including kidnapping and child endangerment. David Carroll, who is accused of burning the boy's body and dumping the remains in the Ohio River, also is charged with gross abuse of a corpse.
Liz Carroll acknowledged in grand jury testimony days after the child was reported missing that he had been left in the closet and died, but she said she had no intention of hurting him.
The Carrolls also face trial on lesser charges, including perjury and inducing panic, in Hamilton County, where they told authorities Aug. 16 that Marcus wandered off or had been taken from a park during an outing.
Prosecutors have said the Carrolls' live-in companion, Amy Baker, provided information leading to the couple's indictments and is expected to testify.

THE CASE AGAINST WAR
A Conflict Driven By The Self-interest Of America
February 18, 2003, by Robert Fisk
In the end, I think we are just tired of being lied to. Tired of being talked down to, of being bombarded with Second World War jingoism and scare stories and false information and student essays dressed up as "intelligence". We are sick of being insulted by little men, by Tony Blair and Jack Straw and the likes of George Bush and his cabal of neo-conservative henchmen who have plotted for years to change the map of the Middle East to their advantage.
No wonder, then, that Hans Blix's blunt refutation of America's "intelligence" at the UN yesterday warmed so many hearts. Suddenly, the Hans Blixes of this world could show up the Americans for the untrustworthy "allies" they have become.
The British don't like Hussein any more than they liked Nasser. But millions of Britons remember, as Blair does not, the Second World War ; they are not conned by childish parables of Hitler, Churchill, Chamberlain and appeasement. They do not like being lectured and whined at by men whose experience of war is Hollywood and television.
Still less do they wish to embark on endless wars with a Texas governor- executioner who dodged the Vietnam draft and who, with his oil buddies, is now sending America's poor to destroy a Muslim nation that has nothing at all to do with the crimes against humanity of 11 September. Jack Straw, the public school Trot-turned-warrior, ignores all this, with Blair. He brays at us about the dangers of nuclear weapons that Iraq does not have, of the torture and aggression of a dictatorship that America and Britain sustained when Saddam was "one of ours". But he and Blair cannot discuss the dark political agenda behind George Bush's government, nor the "sinister men" (the words of a very senior UN official) around the President.

The first pictures of "liberated" Baghdad will show Iraqi children making victory signs to American tank crews.
That did happen. I hardly think it was liberated, but confiscated now.


Tamiflu - Oseltamivir Resistance
By Dr. Tomislav Meštrović, MD, Ph.D.Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc.
Antiviral drugs are shown to be effective in both the prophylaxis and treatment for influenza. Furthermore, these drugs are also likely to be active against a potential new pandemic strain. Several studies have demonstrated the efficiency of the neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir, which is known under the brand name Tamiflu, in reducing influenza viral titer values and symptom intensity. Nevertheless, its usefulness can be compromised by the emergence and spread of a drug-resistant virus.

While resistance has been a longstanding problem with the use of the "old" influenza drugs amantadine and rimantadine, during winter 2007/2008, researchers and clinicians became aware of virus-acquired resistance against oseltamivir. The current situation with an increasing resistance problem strengthens the need to continuously monitor antiviral susceptibility, as well as the promote the development of new antiviral drugs and treatment regimes.
Principles of oseltamivir resistance
Generally, there are three levels of resistance to oseltamivir and other neuraminidase inhibitors. These resistance levels include genotypic resistance, phenotypic resistance, and clinical resistance.
Genotypic resistance can be detected via the sequencing of the viral genome and identification of mutations associated with drug resistance. Comparatively, phenotypic resistance is measured by viral replication at different drug concentrations in vitro. Thirdly, clinical resistance is based on the real-life response to the treatment.
Omics eBook
Mutations associated with amino acid changes in the viral neuraminidase, hemagglutinin, or both, can cause resistance to oseltamivir. The principal difference is that mutations in hemagglutinin confer resistance not only to oseltamivir, but zanamivir as well, which is another important neuraminidase inhibitor. This is comparable to mutations in neuraminidase, which may instead render oseltamivir ineffective, but retain susceptibility to zanamivir.
Oseltamivir resistance can be conferred by a single point missense mutation from histidine to tyrosine at position 275 (H275Y) of the neuraminidase gene, which is the most commonly reported mutation. The amino acid replacement N295S (N294S) in the neuraminidase gene has also been shown to reduce susceptibility to both oseltamivir and zanamivir.
Changes at residues E119, V116, I117, Q136, I223 (I222), and D199 (D198) around neuraminidase active sites are associated with reduced susceptibility to oseltamivir in both seasonal influenzas and H5N1, which is the avian influenza virus. Furthermore, crystal structure studies of H1N1 and H5N1 viruses hinted that mutations at amino acids K150, Q136, and D151 may affect susceptibility to this drug.
The development of resistant strains of seasonal H1N1 and H3N2 influenza has had a low recorded incidence among adults and adolescents of approximately 0.3%. However, pediatric patients have demonstrated higher rates of up to 8.6%. Whether higher doses of oseltamivir needs to be used in such cases, or over longer periods of time than currently recommended, is still subject to debate.
It must be emphasized that oseltamivir resistance in influenza viruses is relative, which means that patients infected with resistant strains may still benefit from receiving this drug. Therefore, the clinical response to treatment with oseltamivir remains the most important proof of antiviral effectiveness.
Predicting and minimizing resistance
It is very cumbersome to predict when drug resistance will develop. Clinicians should suspect resistance to this antiviral medication when influenza is detected in patients who receive prophylaxis, in individuals whose condition fails to improve despite oseltamivir therapy, in cases when infection persists in immunocompromised hosts, as well as in instances in which patients have had contact with immunocompromised hosts undergoing treatment.
For practical purposes, if the patient's condition continues to deteriorate with no other identifiable causes despite 10 days of oseltamivir treatment, active testing for resistance should be pursued. Protocols to provincial public health laboratories should be provided in order to facilitate rapid testing for H275Y mutation.
To minimize the risk of development of resistance, oseltamivir should be used appropriately and at sufficient doses according to published guidelines. This recommendation is particularly relevant for pediatric and immunocompromised populations, where the greatest risk of generating resistance is often encountered.
In short, the global occurrence of influenza virus resistance connected with the seasonal use of oseltamivir is presently small. Therefore, resistant viruses might be of little clinical significance, excluding perhaps in immunocompromised patients. However, continued attention, especially of evolving avian H5N1 strains, combined with alert, thorough laboratory-based monitoring, is of the uttermost importance.
