Is Fox News' popular "War on Christmas" over? If not exactly proclaiming peace on earth, those on Tuesday's "The Five" seemed resigned that the "War on Christmas" isn't worth the fight!
Before the break, Juan Williams teased the upcoming discussion: "Coming up, more people are celebrating Christmas without one important ingredient. We'll explain next." After the break, Williams spoke about the increasing secularization of Christmas and that "most don't seem to be bothered by this secular trend."
Expecting some real red Christmas meat from Kimberly Guilfoyle, I was sorely disappointed. She warmly referenced childhood Christmas traditions and asserted that "Christmas isn't just about getting gifts of the latest toys or computers, but it's about, really, you know, the spirit and the gift of life and appreciating those."
Williams asked her if she is bothered by those who don't keep those traditions. While she agreed that it did, she didn't offer any more criticism, but, rather, said that she, personally, enjoys Christmas.
After Williams reported that many millennials consider Christmas to be "a secular thing," the group joked about "Festivus." There was more unexpected commentary from the usually snarky Jesse Watters: "Right. I'm not going to say, you know, the world is over because this is going to happen, but it's important that, you know, things like these and these holidays are anchored towards some kind of religious story. And that's fine.But as long as people are there with their families around the tree, exchanging presents, I still think it's a very significant holiday. And I'm not going to say it's all gone."
Dana Perino acknowledged the decline in church attendance and spoke, in a non-scolding manner, about the importance of biblical literacy.
Presenting as fact (not outrage) Williams reported that only 25% of Americans believe that there is a war on Christmas. (Fox News propaganda fail?). Some levity from Greg Gutfeld: "there goes our "War on Christmas" special. I was hosting it with Dobbs."
Gutfeld then provided a short monologue: "You know, I'm not religious. You know, I -- but I think it's hypocritical to celebrate Christmas if you're not religious, because religion here in this case, Christianity created a really fun event. And you're taking part in the event without actually ascribing to its beliefs. That's hypocritical. That's why I'm not a big -- I'm not a big Christmas guy, because I don't ascribe to the beliefs. So I try to remain my consistency. I'll be polite. I go to the -- I go to the relatives. You know, I exchange gifts."
His next comment, on a network that pushes evangelical Christianity, seemed heretical: "But you know, I don't -- I don't buy into any religion whatsoever, because you know, there are so many of them, and all of them believe that every one of them is wrong but theirs. So that's what they have in common."
He summed it up with a comment about the need for ritualistic activity and how we can do that now that we're "moving away from a religious world view."
Hmmm, looks like the ghost of the "War on Christmas" past, Bill O'Reilly, needs to pay a call on "The Five."
But in the meantime, "God bless us everyone?"
Watch The Five all but acknowledge that the War on Christmas is bogus below, from the December 19, 2017 The Five. The segment is after the third dot.

Here are three fruity syrups that each have a different level of sweetness. When mixed together correctly, they can make a special concoction that can lure a golden butterfly. Making the concoction is something of a delicate art, though. If it's too sweet, it'll attract bees. If it's not sweet enough, the only insect that'll be interested is the green beetle.
Using at least one measure of each syrup, see if you can get just the right balance to lure in the golden butterfly!

Jeff Bercovici from Forbes.com writes about the reasons Result Source closed its website down and how the efforts to land on the NYT bestseller list has affected Christian publishing.
"I think it's going to affect this whole business model of how these authors cash in on their fame," Duncan says. "They bill themselves as bestselling authors for the rest of their lives after having paid their congregations' tax free money to Result Source."

Creative Enzymes' advantages in enzyme activity testing include the exceptional development ability and high service quality. Having testified by a great number of customers, our supreme and rapid services are well recognized in the industry. Backed by the most experienced enzymologists, we are proficient in hydrolases activity assays, especially the measurement for hyaluronoglucosaminidase.
Hyaluronoglucosaminidase (hyaluronidases, EC 184.108.40.206) catalyzes the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid (HA), a high molecular weight non-sulfated linear glycosaminoglycan, which is composed of repeating disaccharide units, D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) and N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc). The enzyme cleaves the beta-1,4-glycosidic linkage between N-acetyl-glucosamine and glucuronate within the HA chain, producing non-reactive oligomeric end products. They also hydrolyses 1,4-beta-D-glycosidic linkages between N-acetyl-galactosamine or N-acetylgalactosamine sulfate and glucuronic acid in chondroitin, chondroitin 4- and 6-sulfates. To a small extent, they hydrolyze dermatan sulfate. Hyaluronidases are wide spread in nature, being found in mammals, insects, leeches, and bacteria. The diversity allows them to have different catalytic mechanisms, substrate specificities, affinities to inhibitors, and notably, different pH optima.
Hyaluronoglucosaminidases have different roles in different species. In venoms of various organisms, such as those of bees, wasps, spiders, scorpions, fish, snakes and lizards, hyaluronidases enhance the noxious action of substances by helping to spread constituents of the venom cocktail at the injection site. In humans, increased levels of hyaluronidase are found in some cancers, such as colorectal, bladder, prostate, and breast cancer. Therefore, the enzyme is used as a marker for the diagnosis of growing tumors. The enzyme is being heavily studied for its versatile functions. To this end, Creative Enzymes offers accurate assay services for hyaluronoglucosaminidase by spectrophotometric assays. The enzyme activity is measured by the quantification of free reducing ends of hydrolyzed substrate. Considering the instability under some conditions, Creative Enzymes provides more targeted methods to satisfy your specific requirements.

Creative Enzymes uses the advanced instrument to generate the most reliable results in enzyme activity determination. Besides, we have a powerful research team and extensive experiences to make sure of the high-quality services and rapid turnover. We are continuously upgrading the techniques and renewing the expertise in emzymology. Overall, Creative Enzymes is the best choice for enzyme activity measurement.

A towering arch bridge over a bay in eastern Taiwan collapsed Tuesday, sending an oil tanker truck falling onto boats in the water below. An air force helicopter, fishing vessels and more than 60 military personnel, including divers were searching for possible victims. Six people are believed trapped on one of the boats, the National Fire Agency said in a statement. Interior Minister Hsu Kuo-yung told reporters about five people were feared to have been on the bridge when it collapsed. Ten people were sent to hospitals, six of them with serious injuries.
The 140-metre-long bridge collapsed about 9:30 a.m. local time in Nanfangao, a tiny but often-crowded Pacific coast fishing village. The weather at the time was sunny, hours after a typhoon swept across parts of the island. Disaster relief officials would not say if the storm had weakened the bridge or give other details on the potential cause. Government-run Central News Agency said a bridge pier may have collapsed.
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said she hoped all government departments would do everything possible to save people and "keep the number of deaths and injuries as low as possible," CNA reported.National Fire Agency spokesperson Su Hong-wei said the tanker's fall smashed three boats. Of the 10 people hospitalized, six are Filipinos and three are Indonesians. People from both countries regularly staff Taiwanese-registered boats.

BRATTLEBORO—The Slow Living Summit, the three-day conference that each year kicks off the whirlwind of activities known as the Strolling of the Heifers, had people traipsing throughout the downtown, sharing heady ideas about the way we live.
During the fifth year of the conference, attendees and speakers gathered in the Latchis Theatre, Marlboro College Graduate School, and the River Garden, discussing the "slow" movement, which some see as an antidote to our world of fast food, fast money, and fast living that is wreaking havoc on a fragile planet.
Participants discussed creating a new economy, practicing mindfulness, reversing climate change, creating edible ecosystems, launching transition towns, and consuming a plant-based, all-organic, GMO-free diet.
All lofty goals for creating a healthy planet.
Following are three snapshots of speakers and the themes they brought to the conference last week.
Targeting 'big ag'
As Alisa Gravitz, CEO of Green America, a nonprofit that looks to bring ideas of sustainability to the marketplace, asked in her opening talk, "What does it mean to say we want a sustainable food system?"
According to Gravitz, Big Ag is global industry number one. It is also the most environmentally destructive.
"This is the fire-alarm moment," she said. "You're at the right time in the right place."
California is experiencing a water shortage, said Gravitz. Approximately 80 percent of the state's water goes to agriculture, and one-third of its energy goes into moving that water around.
As more people in the United States make the transition to a plant-based diet, more people can eat more food, she said.
But, Gravitz added, most of the cultivated acreage in the country doesn't go toward food. It is used to grow feed for livestock and crops, like soy, used to make biofuels.
Of the soy grown in the United States and Canada, only 1 percent goes to human consumption, she said.
Poultry consume 55 percent of the soy crop, followed by swine at 22 percent, beef cattle at 11 percent, and dairy cattle at 7 percent.
In the case of corn, the country's other large crop, approximately 10 percent reaches the dinner table, Gravitz said. Livestock feed takes 45 percent, fuel mixtures take 40 percent, and 5 percent goes into manufacturing.
She told the audience that cotton takes up the largest amount of acreage in the world.
Gravitz described it as the the most destructive to the environment and social justice, because cotton plants require a lot of water, pesticides, and slave labor to grow and harvest.
"If you want system change, you need to think beyond the food you eat," she said.
People need to think of food, feed, fiber, and fuel, she said.
Prior to 1925, acres under cultivation in the U.S. were "organic by default," she said. Most farmers didn't have the technology, the chemicals, or the genetically modified seeds that are now staples of modern industrial farming.
In 2015, barely 1 percent of acreage under cultivation in the United States is organic.
But a sea change can happen, Gravitz said, pointing to the green-energy sector as an example.
According to Gravitz, solar provided less than 1 percent of the U.S. energy mix in 2000. Now, the global solar market is on target to reach 50 percent by 2042.
"Coal is dead, the market says so," she said.
Processed-food giants such as Coca-Cola and Kraft are dying, too, Gravitz added.
"When this system is ready to change and when you've done all this in preparation, it happens fast," she said.
According to Gravitz, organic crops are more resilient and yield more. Organic soil retains water better. Healthy soil also traps, or sequesters, carbon to help to reduce the effects of climate change.
The problems with the current U.S. food system are all interconnected, she said. And so are the solutions.
Barriers to a better lifestyle
Not everyone has the same access to the slow-living lifestyle.
Richard Berkfield, executive director of Brattleboro-based Food Connects, said that over the past five years, he has witnessed a greater demand for fresh, local produce at the local food shelves and through the Vermont Foodbank.
"It seems like the issues are bubbling up a little bit more than [they were] five years ago," he said.
Yet, he adds, working families' budgets are also tighter, and social service programs are limited.
Efforts at the local, state, and regional levels show promise, he said. Yet barriers to food access exist.
"It's really interesting to hear the differing levels of the conversation," Berkfield said.
Food Connects has focused its energy on increasing participation in its local Neighborhood Market and education efforts in the statewide Farm-to-School initiative, in which most Windham County schools participate.
School faculty, parents, and administration have grown to recognize their school meals as one of the main ways to increase student access to nutritious, quality food, he said.
Berkfield said that people qualifying for Vermont's 3SquaresVT (the state's version of the federal food stamp program) are encouraged to participate in the Neighborhood Market. People of any income level can join.
On a regional level, Berkfield pointed to the New England Food Summit in Boston that starts at the end of this week. The summit will host leadership from the New England states to discuss food access. The organizations involved with the summit have set a goal of having half of the food consumed in New England grown within the six states by 2060.
It's a great goal, he said, but "if nobody has good jobs, nobody can buy it [local food]."
According to information Berkfield has received from the food summit, most of the barriers to food access fall along racial lines.
Racial equity is at the heart of food access, he said.
Other barriers to buying and eating fresh local food extend beyond the supermarket shelves, he reported.
Housing, heath care, livable wages, transportation, time, education, and kitchen skills — concerns for all, regardless of income level — also touch the issue, he said, adding that our national food system is not set up to address barriers to food for people on low incomes.
Anyone interested in joining the Neighborhood Market can email Communications Director and Program Associate Helen Rortvedt at email@example.com or visit Food Connects' website.
Berkfield said that more agencies and organizations at the local and state levels are working together to address the common issue of increasing food access.
More collaboration is needed, he said, and more organizations need to work together to raze the barriers standing between too many people and fresh local food, he continued.
Dignity for the hands that provide
If the national food system contains barriers to food access, it also contains holes that quickly swallow many of the people working within.
Many farmers operate their farms with tiny profit margins and take additional jobs off the farm. While some crops are subsidized by the federal government, some farms — notably dairy farms — come up against a convoluted federal system.
The result is that sometimes dairy farmers sell milk for less than it costs to produce it.
These net losses stand in stark contrast to the earnings of people higher up the economic food chain, such as corporate CEOs or owners of supermarket chains.
The food system is broken, and food corporations must look at where their profits come from, dairy farm worker Enrique Balcazar said. Meanwhile, the corporations keep getting rich, he added.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual median pay for farm workers in 2012 was $18,910. The bureau listed the annual median pay in 2012 for a CEO as $101,650.
Howard Prussack, owner of High Meadows Farm in Putney, the first certified organic farm in Vermont, pointed out that many consumer and corporate initiatives like Fair Trade focus on farmers overseas, but do little to help domestic farms.
"Farmers have to make money so they can pay their workers," he said.
According to Prussack, 70 percent of the workers on Vermont's dairy farms hail from Mexico and South America.
"They're doing the hard, good work that nobody else wants to do," he said.
People delude themselves into thinking that farm work is unskilled, he said. "Someone can drive a tractor, but that doesn't mean you're a farm-equipment operator."
Still, Prussack believes that with smart consumers and better programs, there's more room in the national food system for farmers to get a bigger piece of the pie and more room for workers to get better wages.
Farm labor can involve long hours, hard work, lack of health care, and little pay.
According to a survey by the community organizing group Migrant Justice/Justicia Migrante, a five-year old program working with the Vermont Workers' Center, 40 percent of farm workers reported receiving no days off and working 60 to 80 hours a week.
Of those surveyed, 40 percent reported earning less than $9.15 per hour, Vermont's minimum wage. In addition, 16 percent said they didn't have a work schedule that allowed for 8 continuous hours of sleep, and 20 percent reported having their first wages illegally withheld. Workers also reported overcrowded housing, insufficient heat, and a lack of clean drinking water.
Migrant Justice has launched a program, Milk with Dignity, which aims to hold corporations accountable to workers, and it works to develop safer working conditions for farm workers in the dairy industry.
The program contains what Migrant Justice calls five essential elements:
• A farmworker-authorized code of conduct outlining workers' definition of dignified working conditions.
• Education of farmworkers on their rights under the code of conduct.
• A third-party monitoring body that watchdogs, enforces, and audits farms' compliance with the code of conduct.
• Economic relief through premiums (sometimes called bonuses) paid by participating corporations to farmworkers and farmers.
• Legally binding agreements signed by participating corporations.
Workers want to live a dignified life in Vermont, said one four-year veteran Vermont dairy worker, who noted that many farmers treat him and his co-workers well but others take advantage.
Speaking through an interpreter, Balcazar said that Vermont's dairy industry employs approximately 1,500 undocumented workers, mostly in Addison County, Franklin County, and the Northeast Kingdom.
A typical working day is difficult, he said: many workers lack transportation, fear the police, and struggle to pay for health care.
Balcazar said that Migrant Justice will hold a day of action at Ben & Jerry's in Burlington on June 20 to call on the ice cream company to join the Milk with Dignity program.
He said the group is focusing on Ben & Jerry's because the company has traditionally led the way on social responsibility with such concepts as fair trade for workers in Third World countries and humane practices for the chickens and cows that produce the eggs and milk for the ice cream.
It's time for them to support the workers, Balcazar said.

Beasley Broadcast Group 2015 Q4 Net Revenue Up 6.2%.
Friday, February 12, 2016
Feb 12th 2016, 13:03, by radioinfo
Beasley Broadcast Group 2015 Q4 Net Revenue Up 6.2%.
That figure is based on
's reporting of combined operations – both continuing and discontinued operations – and that's relative to the 2014 Q4 asset swap with CBS RADIO that saw Beasley exchange five radio stations in the Philadelphia and Miami-Fort Lauderdale markets for 14 CBS stations in the Tampa-St. Petersburg, Charlotte and Philadelphia markets. Net revenue of combined operations for the whole
of 2015 was $105.9 million, an increase of 4.4% over 2014. Beasley CEO and chairman
George Beasley
states, "Throughout 2015 we implemented a broad range of operating, programming, sales and local strategies intended to extract operating and financial synergies from the stations acquired in the 2014 Asset Exchange. I am pleased to report that we achieved our goal of our clusters outperforming the markets that report to Miller Kaplan for the first time in December 2015 and expect this trend to continue in 2016. Success with our integration and profitability initiatives is also reflected in fourth quarter 2015 station operating income of $9 million and an SOI margin of 31.7%, as well as net income of $3.3 million or $0.14 per diluted share."
CBS RADIO Revenue Dips 5%.
Radio is not the primary focus of
CBS Corp.
but new CBS chairman, president and CEO
Les Moonves
has always said he likes the radio business – especially its cash flow. Radio is lumped in with CBS Television Stations to make up the Local Broadcasting category, but the company breaks the two apart in these reports and radio's revenue was down 5% on "continued softness in the radio advertising marketplace and lower political advertising." The television sector was down 11% compared the same Q4 period in 2014 – a period that benefitted from mid-term election political spending.

Among the 10 people killed in a human smugglers' truck discovered outside a Texas Walmart was a deported Guatemalan teen who grew up in America and was trying to get back to his family.
Frank Giusseppe Fuentes, 19, was born in Guatemala, but came to the U.S. illegally with his parents when he was 2 years old, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
He was deported in March after being convicted of assault and battery by a mob and was a suspected member of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, gang, ICE spokesperson Carissa Cutrell said in a statement.
But a friend said Fuentes was more than what his criminal record portrayed him to be.
"He brought so much positivity to so many people," Kelly Barrios-Mazariegos, who grew up with Fuentes, told the Washington Post. "Every time you would tell him there was a problem or something, he would giggle, and he would say we would figure it out."
Fuentes grew up in Virginia just 10 miles east of the nation's capital and graduated from J.E.B. Stuart High School in Falls Church in 2015, NBC Washington reported.
He was sneaking back into the United States to be reunited with his parents — undocumented immigrants now living in Maryland — when he died in the stifling hot, pitch-black trailer of an 18-wheeler in San Antonio, according to the consul of Guatemala in McAllen, Texas.
Truck driver charged with human trafficking in death of 10 migrantsJuly 25, 201702:16
The truck driver, James Matthew Bradley Jr., 60, has been charged with transporting undocumented immigrants for financial gain and could face life in prison or the death penalty if convicted. Bradley has told officials he had no idea what was in the back of his truck until he made a pit stop in San Antonio and heard banging from inside.

In addition to the 10 people who died, dozens were hospitalized with heatstroke and dehydration, officials said.
According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Fuentes was granted a reprieve from deportation under the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. As a so-called "DREAMer" — an undocumented immigrant who came to the U.S. as a young child — Fuentes was permitted to stay until his DACA grant expired on June 5, 2016. His most recent DACA filing on June 23, 2016 was denied by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
His friend said she exchanged Snapchat messages with him a month ago and that Fuentes was struggling to adjust to life in Guatemala.
"He's been here forever," Barrios-Mazariegos told the Post. "He doesn't know what Guatemala was. His home is here, his friends are here, his family is here."
His parents have asked for his body to be returned to them, Cristy Andrino, the consul of Guatemala told NBC News. Andrino confirmed Fuentes was trying to get to his family in Maryland when he died, but wouldn't discuss the case further.
"I was talking to his father and he kindly requested not to speak about his son out of respect," she said.
At least two other Guatemalans were in the truck and both survived, Andrino said. One is a minor and the other is an adult.
Mexicans were among the other victims. The country's foreign ministry said on Wednesday that seven Mexican died and 27 were still in the hospital.

"Would a scientist lie?"
- - Allied officer
With the addition of the resonance jackhammer to the Confederate arsenal, Allied command decided that the only way to have any chance of forewarning was to second the USGS to peacekeeper operations, a move that many USGS scientists protested as a civilian agency. Despite their protests, the Allies offered generous compensation to those who would stay. While some defected to the Confederates, others stayed with their positions for a more creative purpose.
When contacted by their fellows in the Confederacy, these scientists will alert Allied command to a "possible" resonance attack. Due to the oft-shaky footing by which possible earthquakes are reported, the Allies have yet to catch on, giving the Confederates one more trick in their bag.

text: fred berg 4 Report post Posted December 28, 2016 Hi All - I'm working with a DJI Phantom 4. I would really like the ability to smoothly change the camera angle from pointing straight down to either perfectly level, i.e., 90 degrees or to the most upward position, 30 degrees - and reverse. There is certainly a control button on the RC, but I sometimes find it difficult to add this motion to all the other actions I'm working on. Further, I'd like to be able to use the user-defined buttons on the bottom of the RC to accomplish this. Moving the camera in this way can provide some really interesting footage. Christian form the Video Production class refers to these shots as "reveal" shots. I'd be grateful for anyone's input. Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How Many Persons Created the Heavens and the Earth?
It is commonly believed that the One who speaks as the Creator of all things in Isaiah chapters 44 and 45 is the triune God consisting of three Persons. The language of Isaiah 44:24 cannot possibly be reconciled with the popular idea: "Thus says the Lord (Yahweh) your Redeemer who formed you from the womb: 'I am the Lord who made all things, who stretched out the heavens alone, who spread out the earth. Who was with me?'" (RV)
The implied answer is, of course, that no one was present with the one Lord in the act of creation. Yahweh stretched out the heavens alone. The Hebrew word rendered "alone" means "in a state of separation, by one's self" (Brown, Driver and Briggs, Lexicon of the Old Testament, p. 94). No one assisted God, the Father at the creation. Moreover, the Creator is one Person, not three: "Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us?" (Malachi 2:10). Nowhere does the Old Testament speak of a Trinity of Persons in the Godhead.
Elsewhere in the Old Testament it is said: "You, God, even You alone, You have made the heaven...the earth and all things" (2 Kings 19:15). "You are the Lord, even You alone; You have made the heaven, the earth and all things" (Neh. 9:6). The Lord God is always distinguished from the promised Messiah. They are never said to be members of one Godhead.
This simple information should prevent us from ever believing that Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God, was present with the Father when the latter created the heavens and the earth. The idea that Jesus actually created the heavens and earth of Genesis 1:1 has been promoted by the Worldwide Church of God. Their teaching was that there are two members in the one "God-family." Isaiah 44:24 (cited above) clearly states that ONE person alone created the heavens and the earth. Language has no way of expressing this more distinctly.
Trinitarians hold that the second member of the triune God was instrumental in the creation of Genesis 1:1. This, however, contradicts the statement that the one Creator was the Father (Malachi 2:10, cited above).
When Jesus came into being at his birth he enjoyed a unique communion with his Father. Thus he says, "I am not alone, because the Father is with me" (John 16:32). Jesus always speaks as a person distinct from his Father, exactly as every son is an individual separate from his father. The personal "I" of the New Testament never refers to the Father and Son together. So also in the Old Testament the personal "I" refers to one Person, not three.
Jesus prays that the disciples may be "one even as we [the Father and I] are one" (John 17:11). This is a unity of purpose and will. Jesus prays also: "May they [the disciples] all be one as You, Father, are in me and I in You, so that they may also be in us" (John 17:21).
It is obvious from these texts that the Father and Son use the ordinary personal pronouns to distinguish themselves as any father and son would. It is thus beyond question that Jesus was not with the Father when the latter described His act of creation: "Thus says the Lord [Yahweh], your Redeemer...I am the Lord who made all things, who stretched out the heavens by myself...Who was with me?" (Isa. 44:24).
Jesus did not exist as a person when the Lord God created all things. God, the Father, was alone responsible for the creation of the universe. (The "us" of Gen. 1:26, in connection with the creation of man, probably refers to attendant angels, cp. Job 38:7.) Most believers in the Trinity no longer use Genesis 1:26 as a proof of the triune God.
Jesus came into being as the Son of God when Mary conceived him supernaturally. Luke is careful to tell us that it was because of the miraculous conception in Mary's womb, not because of any so-called "eternal generation," that Jesus was the Son of God: "Holy Spirit will come upon you [Mary] and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and for that reason the child conceived will be holy, the Son of God" (Luke 1:35).
If God, the Father (the Lord, Yahweh of the Old Testament) was alone the author of the creation, why does the belief that Jesus was an active agent in the creation persist?
The answer is that two creations have become confused in the minds of Bible readers. Jesus is indeed the mediator of the New Creation (Col. 1:15-18). But he is not the creator of the universe. That creation is the work of the One God, the Father who acted alone when He stretched forth the heavens and the earth (Isa. 44:24).
Unfortunately, one or two verses in the New Testament have been translated to give the impression that all things were made "by" Jesus. In fact the original states that all things were made "through" Jesus (see Col. 1:16; NIV, NLT, RSV, and NAS margin note have "in him" or "through him," not "by him").
Jesus was indeed the reason for God's creation. The Father "foreknew" him from the beginning (1 Pet. 1:20). In God's great purpose Jesus was "slain from the foundation of the world" (Rev. 13:8). But he came into existence as the Son of God at his conception (Luke 1:35). There is no biblical text to support the idea that the Son of God was alive before his conception (though a few verses in John's gospel have been used to support the idea).
When Jesus prayed to receive the glory which he had with the Father before the foundation of the world, he was asking for the glory which had been reserved for him and which he would receive after his resurrection (John 17:5). Peter speaks of an inheritance which is "reserved in heaven for you" (1 Pet. 1:4). That inheritance is, of course, the earth which Jesus has promised to the meek (Matt. 5:5) and which he will give them when he returns to establish the Kingdom of God. The same glory which was planned for Jesus from the beginning had also been given already (John 17:22) to the disciples, even those not yet born! (John 17:20). This glory is a glory which all disciples "have" even though they have not yet received it. Similarly Jesus "had" glory laid up for him with the Father long before his birth. In John 17 he prays to receive it.
Isaiah 44:24 should settle forever the question about who created the universe, and Hebrews 1:10 should be read with careful attention to the fact that the writer says he is speaking there of the inhabited earth to come (i.e., of the future): "God did not subject to angels the world to come of which we are speaking" (Heb. 2:5).
There is no contradiction between the two Testaments on this issue. Jesus will indeed be instrumental in laying the foundations of the coming new heavens and earth (Isa. 51:16). But the original creation is the work of the One God, the Father, alone (Isa. 44:24).

Danger – Quarry Face – Keep Away – Wall Sign
This wall sign reads, "Danger – Quarry Face – Keep Away" and should be placed in the area near the quarry face itself. These areas are often particularly dangerous because of the increased risks of rocks falling, sliding or otherwise causing hazards. In addition, the area on the ground near the quarry face can have a lot of loose gravel and other items that can present risks. Of course, heavy machinery is commonly used in these areas as well, which can make the area very dangerous.
Putting this type of wall sign up is a great reminder that there is danger in the area and people need to take proper precautions. For most people it will mean that they need to stay away all together, which is the best way to stay safe. Those who are supposed to work in the area, however, can see the sign as a reminder to wear personal protection equipment when entering the space near the quarry face.

Trampoline or substitute components. These factors are critical in deciding the life span and quality of an trampoline. Consumers that are acquainted with approaches to ascertain quality when buying trampolines or trampoline components are somewhat more inclined to acquire a trampoline that is going to be a long-lasting investment and supply years of pleasure for family members and friends.
The most Frequent choices for trampoline contour are around and rectangular. Round are inclined to function as budget-friendly option since they're typically the most cost effective for producers to make. They're also simpler to track down and buy for the lower cost, which makes them common. Rectangular trampolines need stubborn material due to the surplus strain placed on the framework in particular places. Visit this web page https://socialenterprisebuzz.com/skybound-trampolines-reviews-of-stratos-usa-other-brands/.
The durable material needed is the reason rectangular trampolines Are usually more costly than round trampolines. Even though they're more expensive it's very important to realize they do often last much more than around trampolines, only because of their more rigorous construction. Rectangular trampolines are utilized solely for athletic functions because of their exceptional structure and functionality. On account of the layout of this trampoline the effect is dispersed, placing less strain on springs.
Normally round trampolines are utilized for recreational Functions. The springs on around trampolines are pulled from several instructions with every rebound, increasing the strain on the springs. The period of the trampoline springs can be also an essential aspect to be taken into consideration when determining the standard of a trampoline. Longer springs, frequently connected with rectangular trampolines, give a softer bounce permitting the jumper to move higher in the atmosphere. Shorter springs, most common on contemporary mass generated trampolines, offer a shallow jolting dip. Shorter springs additionally overstretch easier than springs. Because of how readily they overstretch they're less resilient to mature jumpers and pose the requirement to be replaced regularly.
The substance used to manufacture the trampoline belt is Also a significant element for any current of future trampoline proprietor to consider. Safety pads are essential to prevent harm. Safety pads are often Composed of PVC Vinyl or Polyethylene. PVC Vinyl is a UV resistant Vinyl made to withstand harsh UV rays. It's a durable material that will outlast Polyethylene.

Tell us about the genre of your work.
I write, to quote Booklist, "offbeat" mystery stories. I think this means that I do not fit into a sub-category very well, and my stories do not always feature an actual murder. There is one story that does not even have a body in it. This does not mean these books are not suspenseful. Implied violence and unpleasant personalities have their own measure of evil, and I think they feel real. These incidents could really happen.
Why did you choose this genre?
I love reading mysteries. Started with a Josephine Tey at age nine, and never looked back.
What are some of your books, stories that have been published?
My series of Margot & Max mysteries now number eight books, with number nine in the working stage. I have been lucky to have my series picked up three different times. Independent presses are wonderful, but, unfortunately, they tend to have a short life span.
The first four, Final Cut, Grape Noir, Bad Actors, & Last Words, with Deadly Alibi Press, are now out-of-print but available used at Amazon.com.
Numbers five and six, Extreme Cuisine – takes place behind the kitchen doors with a super chef in L.A. Margot and Max find a recipe for disaster behind the kitchen doors of a trendy Hollywood restaurant. As Max points out, dinner at these places "...provides an evening of theater and you get to eat it!" Betrayal, revenge, and perhaps something even more unsavory, are on the menu tonight. (ISBN (1-930754-68-X)
The most recent two books were published by Oak Tree Books. The Fat Lady Sings takes place when the female protagonist, Margot, becomes director of a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta trying for a big win, at any cost, at a UK conference (978-1892343-61-1),
All are available from the usual sources as well as discounted from my publisher at http://oaktreebooks.com/Shop%20OTP.htm. My website has a lot of information on why I wrote each particular story, and why each particular cover was designed. See more at http://www.kitsloane.net
How do you come up with the names of places and characters in your books?
How did you develop the character of your protagonist in this book?
I have a friend who is a film editor, and I met many of her co-workers. Film editors are often women, and usually quite shy and self-effacing people, far from the perceived glamour and glitz of Hollywood. I thought what an interesting profession for someone in a mystery story, a shy person who prefers being in the background until problematic occurrences and circumstances force her forward. Also my daughter, Annie Sperling (who also does my super covers) is a Production Designer in Hollywood. I listen to her talk about her jobs and the people in them. Fantastic material!
What about an antagonist…is there a unique "bad guy" or a recurring nemesis of any kind?
My "bad guys" are not serial killers, or total ga-ga nut cases, but generally they are people you might actually meet who end up making really bad decisions. Also, I have discovered, NONE of them seem to have a sense of humor. I guess that's the worst character flaw I can think of!
What's your favorite thing about your book?
The characters and the settings. I love writing about Hollywood and the movie business. All these different people, from directors and actors to plumbers and carpenters, are working together to make ONE thing, a film. You need confidence, huge talent, and a strong ego to compete in the business. Lots of opportunities for fireworks! Also, there's the happy unintended consequence that being in the movie business, I realized I could place the stories anywhere in the world, logically. I have set stories in Guatemala, the UK, Panama, and many places in between.
I like writing mysteries because you must have a beginning, middle, and, hopefully, a thrilling climax. And the stories have to make sense. They have to be logical, or they just don't work. All the rest is up to the individual writer.
My mother was a newspaper editor, and my father wrote short stories for the old Esquire Magazine. I wanted to see if I could write a mystery novel. I quit working (as a medical office manager) for a year to see if I could. I never went back to my day job. Also, looking back, the Apple Macintosh computer had just been invented (this was '84-'85), and I often think I never would have completed anything if it had not been for the ease of the machines!
I live on a small working horse ranch, and I fit in writing when I am not doing chores. It seems to be the perfect situation for me. I live a solitary, and active life, every day!
My story in progress is called Close-Up and has to do with older actors and their need for 15-more minutes of fame...
What kind of advice or tips to you have for someone who wants to write (especially mystery)?
Read. Read everything. I have always been a reader. I really believe you must read, read, read in order to write well. And, do not copy a trend. By the time you get your story written and, hopefully, get it published, it could be years and years later and that trend will be long gone. Write a good story, preferably without gimmicks.
Learn the basics, good grammar and vocabulary. Make your manuscript error-free and easy to read. Believe me, as a former editor, NOTHING turns off the tired eyes of an editor faster than sloppy presentation, typos, and misspellings. It may be the most clever story in the world, but if it is difficult to read OR actually unreadable, it will stay that way!
I read! I also love to garden and, of course; there are the 4-horses, 2-goats, 4-cats and FLASH, the black Labrador, to entertain me.
What "Made It" moments have you experienced in life?
I think finally getting that contract in 2000. It was such a relief and a vindication for all that time I had spent writing. I also having the very distinctive cover for GRAPE NOIR nominated for Best Cover Art at Bouchercon in 2002. We didn't win, but it was a major step coming for us and our small Indie publisher.

Leppihalme (1997, p. 70). The following section introduces Leppihalme's lists of strategies for translating allusions.
2.7.4. Strategies for translating Allusions
According to Leppihalme (1997, p. 24) there is a difference between PN allusions and KP allusions. She also noted that potential strategies for these two groups are slightly different. She again proposed this is due to the fact that it is often possible to retain a PN unchanged, whereas KP requires a change in wording. In fact, there is no criterion comparable to the treatment of PN for translating KPs. KPs are hardly ever retained untranslated, the 'retention' (literally) of a KP then make no sense in this case. Nor is there in most cases only one standard translation available, the use of which could be labeled a retentive strategy; rather, due to synonyms, variations of word order, etc, KPs can mostly be translated in a variety of ways. However, the translation strategies that Leppihalme offers for translating KP allusions are as follows (1997, p. 84):
A. Use standard translation
B. Literal translation /minimum change
C. Addition extra-allusive guidance (including typographical means)
D. Footnotes, endnotes and other explanations outside in the text itself.
E. Simulated familiarity, internal marking (marked wording or syntax)
F. Replace by preformed TL item
G. Reduction to sense (making the connotations overt but dispensing with the KP itself)
H. Re-creation using a variety of techniques
I. Omission
Strategies mentioned for case of PN allusions are divided in three categories with subcategories including:
1. Retain name
(1a) Retain unchanged, or in conventional TL form
(1b) Retain unchanged with added guidance
(1c) Retain unchanged with detailed explanation
2. Replace name
(2a) Replace with different source language (SL) name
(2b) Replace with different target language (TL) name
3. Omit name
(3a) Reduce to sense/meaning of the name
(3b) Omit name and allusion completely
The conventional TL forms or required changes of PNs has regarded (as in strategies 1 and 2), Newmark (1988, p. 215) remarks that wile people's first names and surnames are normally retained and unaltered. According to him (1988), where connotations are significant the best method is first to translate the word that underlies the SL PN into a new SL and then to naturalize the translated word back into a new SL PN (p. 215). However, Newmark (1988) warns that this method can only be used when "the character's name is not yet current among an educated TL readership" (p. 46). Furthermore, Leppihalme also identified two seldom used strategies that the translator has at his/her disposal (1) throwing up of one's hands in desperation and (2) replacing an untranslatable passage with a message that explicitly states the situation (1997, p. 84).
Figure 2.1: A Minimax ordering of strategies for key-phrase allusion (Leppihalme, 1997, P. 107)
Figure 2.2: A Minimax ordering of strategies for proper names allusion (Leppihalme, 1997, P. 106)
• Standard translation(A) and minimum change(B)
The minimax strategy for transcultural KP allusions is standard translation. The transcultural allusion has connotations in the target culture as well, so that even in translation the allusion offers competent readers the pleasure of recognition and the chance to participate in the literary process, comparable to a ST reade's participation (Leppihalme, 1997, P. 115). Leppihalme (1997, P. 115) notes; "some semi-allusive descriptions of involving names generally unfamiliar to TT readers could perhaps be omitted with little loss; however, even such descriptions may partly work". She allows accessional use of omission only when readers may be unaware of connotations of the name, and descriptions convey a basic point (Leppihalme, 1997, p. 115). She noted that however, if the author of the ST has provided her/ his readers with fairly detailed descriptions about the character, the translator can omit the KP here, assuming that the authorial descriptions would suffice to help TL readers get the author's point (Leppihalme, 1997, p.115).
• Guidance external marking(c)
Leppihalme (1997, p.116) pointed out extra-allusive additions resemble the ways ST authors sometimes signal allusion to call attention to the fact that a phrase is borrowed rather than original. She believed that this can take the typographical form of inverted commas or italics. The italics emphasis that the words have been used before with special meaning, in case potential readers of the passage might think that the repetition of the word indicated the character's annoyance at being asked to make decisions. She also noted that italics or inverted commas could be used in translation. The signal may also take the form of an introductory phrase; in this way a TT reader could infer that a puzzling expression in the text was perfumed-information that competent ST readers would possess as part of their cultural literacy (Leppihalme, 1997, P. 117).
• Internal Marking(E)
Leppihaleme (1997, p. 118) argued that internal marking or what might be called simulated familiarity can sometimes be achieved by using lines from an existing translation of a classic to translate an allusion are clearly poetry. Therefore, she believed that the allusion can also be made more visible by using italics (Leppihalme, 1997, P. 118).
• Replacement by preformed TL item(F)
In this strategy Leppihalme (1997, p. 118) views the replacement of a SL allusion by TL specific allusion as an alternative that is seldom effective. She also notes: "TL specific allusions disturb the desired illusion in translation that TL readers are able to experience a foreign word despite the language barriers (Leppihalme, 1997, p.118)." On this strategy she argued that this should not be confused with a standard translation, which implies a greater degree of lexical similarity between SL and TL versions; rather, here an idea acknowledged in both cultures (a fool hardy or pointless action) is conveyed by different images in the two languages (Leppihalme, 1997, p. 118).
• Reduction to sense by rephrasal(G)
Reduction strategy is "to call the readers' attention to an allusion, translators sometimes use external marking. This can take for instance typographical form of inverted commas or italics (Leppihalme, 1997, p. 117)." She believed that the italics used by translator to emphasize that the italicized words are allusive references borrowed from a previous text (Leppihalme, 1997, P. 117).
On the other hand, Leppihalme (1997, p. 117) pointed out that this strategy is used when the translator, unable to find an appropriate equivalent for the allusion s/he has to translate, conveys the SL author's point (in using that allusion) by the means of reducing it to its sense. She also discussed the reduction of allusion to sense usually leads to repeated and hence not creative allusions and this strategy can be considered for brief allusions to slogans in domestic politics, local advertising campaigns and the like, which would mean little or nothing to the TL audience Leppihalme (1997, p. 117).
• Recreation(H)
Recreation strategy "is usually a time-consuming strategy. In a wide sense, all translation can be regarded as recreation; for a change of language means recreating a situation (Leppihalme, 1997, p. 122)." But Levine (1975) "views recreation as inventions and changes which a translator has to make wile translating problematic elements such as allusions and invented words from SL to TL (p. 270)." On recreation strategy he also notes; "we took liberty of creating them in places where there where not
y, or in places where they did exist but where we could not find near equivalents (p. 270)."
In short, if the translator of allusion is regarded as a decision-making process where the translators should decide what is the most appropriate strategy to use, Leppihalme (1997, p. 124) suggests that all available strategies must be charity and put it priority order such a priority ordering could be based simply on observation and on how translators deals with allusion.
• Omission(I)
Omission, as noted earlier under PN allusion, should be the translator's last resort, knowing that there are instances. For example: homonymic word play, where no other strategy may be appropriate. This strategy is allowed to be used when the loss caused by an omission is negligible in the context and the use of other strategies would lead to vagueness and obscurity (Leppihalme, 1997, p. 121).
2.7.5. Complication of translating Allusive Texts
Leppihalme (1997, p.110) argued that there are two complicated factors in translating allusive text:
1. It is probable that the readers of the translation cannot make much of the number of allusions, even if the source is given, because the connotations of those allusions are not activated in the reading process (Leppihalme, 1997, p. 110).
2. Readers of translations are not a homogenous group, and some of them will probably spot and enjoy allusions if they are given a chance to do so, but will resent being written down to in the form of additional explanations (for an extreme example, not even a translation, see Leppihalme, 1997, p. 110).
Taking this pact into account, this study intends to investigate how the translators of two major English translations of Mantiq ut-Tair have dealt with allusions, namely KPs allusions. But since Mantiq ut-Tair is a poetic text, the researcher felt the need to address the issue of poetry translation a subcategory of literary translation-before proceeding to next chapter.
2.8. Poetry Translation
Poetry translation is the most important factor which has been investigates in the present study. As Newmark (1988, p. 163) maintained that poetry is the most personal and concentrated form of texts, in which no redundancy or phatic language is seen. Moreover; he asserted that in comparison with any other type of text, word has greater importance in poetry and is considered as the first unit of meaning while the second one is not the sentence or the proposition but is the line. Hence, there is a unique double concentration of units. And the translator ought to preserve the integrity of both the lexical unit and the lines. Accordingly, Lefevere (1992) elaborated more on this issue and regards translation as 'rewriting' by means of which new concepts, genres, and devices are introduced to the target literature. He also stated: "the history of translation is the history also of literary innovation, of the shaping power of one culture upon another (Lefevere, 1992, p. xi)."
2.8.1. Translatability of poetry
"The central question that all studies of the translation of poetry have asked, implicitly or explicitly, is whether poetry can be translated or not (Baker, 1998, p. 194)." Baker (1998) pointed out that some related views argued that it may seem obvious that it can, for poetry has always been widely translated. In fact, translated poetry plays such a large part in the literature of most cultures that it is taken very much for granted (Baker, 1998, p. 194). But the opposite view on translatability of poetry is that poetry translation is difficult or even impossible arises from the coincidence of two assumptions:
1. Translated poetry should be poetry in its own right
2. Poetry is difficult, cryptic, ambiguous and exhibits a special relationship between form and meaning"(Baker, 1998, p. 194).
"These two assumptions together have led many writers such as Weissbort and Raffel to suggest that the translation of poetry, more than that of any other genre, demands both special critical abilities and special writing abilities (Baker, 1998, p.194)." She elaborated that translated poetry aims are to say that the aim of its translation is to carry

Jessica Alba is a busy woman!
Jessica and her husband, Cash Warren, are the proud parents of daughters Honor Warren, 10, and Haven Warren, 7, and son Hayes Warren, 9 months. The actress says raising three kids has taught her "the art of multitasking, but also really being in the moment and being present." Though things can get hectic between mom duties and work, she also recognizes how valuable that one-on-one time is with loved ones, saying, "It's so important."
In fact, now that the girls are older, they have been taking more responsibility around the house to help their parents.
"It's just nice for the kids to feel involved and feel like they're participating in the day to day...As they grow and mature, they get to do more and more things," Jessica says. For instance, middle child Haven has sparked an interest in cooking and loves whipping up pancakes and eggs for the family, while her big sister helps her mom care for baby Hayes. Needless to say, the actress is super proud that her daughters have grown up to be really good girls.
So, how does she do it all? "I have a great support system and a great husband, and a great team at Honest, and I'm working with L.A.'s Finest," the businesswoman explains. Jessica emphasizes how important it is to surround yourself with good people who are passionate about what they are doing, day in and day out.
Still, Jessica and Cash make sure to set aside one-on-one time for each other. "We definitely like to carve out time with each other. It's not always so formal like we have to go to a restaurant and have a date night...It's just spending time and having a giggle and reviewing the day," the Planet of the Apps mentor says. "I mean, that's just as important as anything else." Some of the couple's more low-key versions of date night include "Netflix and chilling" and even playing video games together.

ELDERS held the first of its three special spring ewe sales at Kojonup last week and the buyers appreciated the line-up, pushing prices to $162 as the wind blew up and the grey rain clouds rolled in.
All up in the sale 4553 ewes were offered by Elders auctioneer Don Morgan and by sales end they had all sold for an average of $134.35.
Maiden, 1.5-year-old ewes made up the majority of the yarding with 2498 fitting this category and they were first offered.
They sold to the sale's top of $162 and averaged $135.41.
It didn't take long for the $162 top price to be hit when Mr Morgan stood over the second line penned.
Mr Morgan took an opening bid of $140 on the line of 413 Barloo blood, June shorn ewes from C & M English, Wagin and the price quickly rose from there, until Elders Mt Barker representative Dean Wallinger had the final $162 bid.
Mr Wallinger purchased the ewes as replacement breeders for Amerillup Pastoral Co, Mt Barker, which will mate them to White Suffolk rams.
Mr Wallinger was also the last bidder to raise his hand on the second top price line when he bid to $153 for 284 Angenup blood, September shorn 1.5yo ewes from C & K Tomlinson, Cranbrook.
He purchased this line as replacement breeders for PR Adams, Mt Barker and they will also be mated to White Suffolks.
There was a third line of 1.5yo ewes to make more than $150 and it was offered by Barrule Grazing, Kojonup.
The line of 202 Wattle Dale blood, October shorn ewes was knocked down at $151 to Evan and Blake Warburton, EM & RG Warburton, Wandering, who were in the hunt for ewes to stock a new lease block.
The Warburtons also picked up a second line, paying $133 for 281 September shorn 1.5yo ewes carrying Seymour Park bloodlines from GW & KA Prowse, Darkan.
Other better prices in the 1.5yo offering were $139 bid by Elders Boyup Brook agent Peter Forrest, for a draft of 173 MPM and Wallinar blood, October shorn ewes from JM3 Farming, Kukerin, which he purchased for SRJ & JC Larkin, Boyup Brook and $129 paid by Gary and Alice Karafilis, GS & AE Karafilis, Bridgetown, for a run of 164 Westerdale blood, October shorn ewes from DG Hansberry, Eriswell Park, Kojonup.
The line of 128 Chirninimup blood, October shorn, 1.5yo Dohne ewes from Greenholme Trust, Dumbleyung, were purchased at $130 by DM & NR Blake, Parryville.
In older ewe lines, it was a draft of 202 Westerdale blood, August shorn 3.5yo ewes from IG & SB Rutherford, Duranillin, which commanded the top price when it sold for $150 to Elders stud stock trainee Callum O'Neill, who was bidding for KD Power, Boyup Brook.
Also making good money were 379 Angenup blood, September shorn 5.5yo ewes from M & R Schinzig, Kojonup.
The line made $145 when it was knocked down to Landmark Albany representative Allan Pearce, who bid on behalf of K Dewar, Manypeaks.
Yeenyellup Trust, Kojonup, offered two drafts of ewes, which were October shorn and based on Merinotech bloodlines, aged 2.5 years and 3.5-4.5 years.
The 2.5yo run contained 217 head and sold to Elders Kojonup representative Peter Wharton at $129 while the 3.5 and 4.5yo line of 170 head made $126 selling to GS & J Cavanagh, Kojonup.
Mr Wharton also picked up two lines of ewes from Marbarup Farms, Kojonup, that were all October shorn and based on Merinotech bloodlines.
He paid $121 for its 200 ewes aged 2.5 years and $114 for its line of 94 ewes aged 4.5 years.
Cranbrook operation AM Warham purchased two lines of 5.5yo ewes.
It paid $119 for 258 September shorn, Angenup blood ewes from Riverdale Grazing, Kojonup and $115 for 181 October shorn, Wattle Dale blood ewes from Barrule Grazing.
Elders auctioneer Don Morgan said overall it was a solid sale with the older ewes selling above expectations.
"The proven breeders sold extremely well and were chased by buyers," Mr Morgan said.
"In the younger ewes buyers were very selective and were chasing the better conditioned, larger framed ewes.
"The smaller framed lines were harder to sell."

The mystery of whether Nancy Pelosi knows something about Newt Gingrich that could hurt his presidential campaign deepened on Wednesday.
Pelosi's office walked back comments she made Tuesday suggesting she had dirt on Gingrich, but a government watchdog group filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with two agencies for documents on the Gingrich ethics probe from the 1990s.
Separately, Gingrich demanded that if Pelosi had something, she "spit it out," while Mitt Romney, battling for a win in the Florida primary, called for all records to be made public and said he wished he knew what Pelosi knew.
Even Speaker John BoehnerJohn Andrew BoehnerLott says lobbying firm cut ties to prevent him from taking clients Lobbying firm cuts ties to Trent Lott amid national anti-racism protests Bush, Romney won't support Trump reelection: NYT MORE (R-Ohio) got in the act when asked about Pelosi on conservative Laura Ingraham's talk show.
"I have no idea what she's referring to. But it's Nancy Pelosi. Who knows?" BoehnerJohn Andrew BoehnerLott says lobbying firm cut ties to prevent him from taking clients Lobbying firm cuts ties to Trent Lott amid national anti-racism protests Bush, Romney won't support Trump reelection: NYT MORE told Ingraham.
Pelosi's office said that the California Democrat wasn't holding back secret information. When Pelosi said she knew "something" about Gingrich, she simply meant that she knew he could not become president, her office said.
"The 'something' Leader Pelosi knows is that Newt Gingrich will not be president of the United States. She made that clear last night," Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill wrote in an email to reporters.
Hammill sent the email after Pelosi made headlines in a CNN interview by predicting Gingrich would not become president.
"Let me just make my prediction and stand by it," Pelosi said. "It isn't going to happen. There's something I know. The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him, that's their prerogative. I don't even think that's going to happen."
Tuesday was the second time Pelosi has suggested she had information about Gingrich that could prevent him from becoming president. Both times, her office later said Pelosi was not referring to any secret information.
The first time came in December, when Gingrich moved to the top of polls ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
"One of these days we'll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich," she told Talking Points Memo at the time. "When the time is right. … I know a lot about him. I served on the investigative committee that investigated him, four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for a year. A thousand pages of his stuff."
Gingrich at the time called Pelosi's comments an "early Christmas gift," and suggested anything released by Pelosi would be in violation of House rules.
In December, Pelosi's office said she was merely referring to the public record released by the House ethics panel that investigated Gingrich.
That extensive report has been online since 1997, but it is based on documents obtained during the course of the investigation, leaving plenty of room for conspiracies about information that hasn't been revealed.
The FOIA request by watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington asks the Internal Revenue Service and Department of Justice for any documents the ethics panel provided the agencies on that investigation.
The latest twists come as Democrats are gleeful about Gingrich's elevation to the top of GOP opinion polls. They had expected Romney to emerge as the GOP standard-bearer, but Gingrich's win in South Carolina's primary has prompted reconsideration by the political establishments of both parties.
Polls suggest Romney and Gingrich are in a one-on-one battle for Florida, with the winner taking all of the state's delegates and a ton of momentum into subsequent contests.
Because Romney is seen as a candidate more appealing to centrist independent voters — and because Gingrich is thought to be mercurial and prone to self-destruction — Democrats are happy to see a possibility that the former Speaker could emerge as President Obama's opponent in the general election.
They'd also love to see the GOP fight go on for some time, particularly since the battles over the past six months have coincided with a turn in the political fortune of Obama, who has seen his poll numbers edge up.
That might explain why high-profile Democrats have sidestepped opportunities to attack Gingrich.
"I like Newt. I think Newt's a good guy," Vice President Biden said Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show. He declined an invitation to talk about his experience working with Gingrich in Congress. "Look, I don't have a dog in this fight," he said.
Sen. Charles SchumerChuck SchumerDemocrats blast Trump for commuting Roger Stone: 'The most corrupt president in history' A renewed emphasis on research and development funding is needed from the government Data shows seven Senate Democrats have majority non-white staffs MORE (D-N.Y.) and former President Bill ClintonWilliam (Bill) Jefferson ClintonFacebook ad boycott is unlikely to solve the problem — a social media standards board would Kanye West says he had coronavirus The Hill's 12:30 Report- Presented by Facebook - Trump threatens schools' funding over reopening MORE have also spoken kindly of Gingrich's ideas about immigration.
Retiring Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) might have explained why Democrats are holding their fire on Gingrich back in November, when he told reporters Gingrich "would be the best thing to happen to Democrats since Barry Goldwater."
He told The Hill in December that he predicted Obama could win 300-plus electoral votes against Gingrich in a general election.
Pelosi hasn't been shy about expressing her opinion about Gingrich, who memorably filmed an ad with her advocating action on climate change, something Gingrich has since described as "the dumbest single thing I've done in recent years. "
Asked about that comment, Pelosi told CNN on Tuesday: "I think he's done plenty of dumb things, and there's stiff competition for what is the dumbest thing he's done, of course, including his violations of the ethics rules of the House of Representatives."
