This is the point from which I could never return, And if I back down now then forever I burn. This is the point from which I could never retreat, Cause If I turn back now there can never be peace. This is the point from which I will die and succeed, Living the struggle, I know I'm alive when I bleed. From now on it can never be the same as before, Cause the place I'm from doesn't exist anymore [Immortal Technique]

Dnscat2 powershell bug-fix and new feature
Budsjett $250-750 USD
I need bug-fix and new feature for dnscat2-powershell script.
Bugs I've found:
1) When you send russian(cyrillic) text in command then script send tons of request and don't work properly (client).
2) When you send kill command then script does not go down(powershelgl-client still sending requests).
3) When you stop the server and restart dnscat2-server then Client does not work properly but still sending requests (you can see tcpdump or error log).
One of the way to solve the problem #3 is to restart the self-session on Client-side each 15 minutes and create new session.
New feature I need:
Also I need a function which will check DNS TXT record for STOP command.
Sometimes client/server not work properly.
I need some stuff which will check every 1 minute value of DNS TXT record of domain I've selected.
The new parameter name should be "-StopDomain".
When I send command with text "!show_info" in server-window then client should send information with information about StopDomain.
This value should contains random subdomain of "-StopDomain".
For example:
I've run dnscat2 in powershell:
dnscat2 -Domain [url removed, login to view] -e [url removed, login to view] -StopDomain [url removed, login to view]
Then I receive new session on the Server side (at the [url removed, login to view]).
I send a command "!show_info" to my session.
And receive something like this: "StopDomain is: [url removed, login to view]".
Then something goes wrong and I lost control of the session. (for example server rebooted).
Then I go to DNS settings of [url removed, login to view] and change value of the TXT-record "xha73" and set it's value to "stop".
Then our powershell-script checking the value of TXT-record [url removed, login to view] and exit from function and stop sending requests.
Here is this powershell script:
[url removed, login to view]
Here is dnscat2 server:
[url removed, login to view]
The best OS to setup dnscat2-server is Ubuntu.
I can give you VPS with dnscat2-server installed.
I can show each problem on my dnscat2-server using TeamViewer before you will start the project.
Also I need bug-fix for long commands.
When you send command text with length more then 100 symbols then client send many errors to server.

It used to be that programmers created and launched annoying but mild virus and spam malware to show the world just how brilliant they were and to gain notoriety. Today, we live in a very different world where cyber threats and attacks are recognized as significant global, political and commercial challenges with serious financial and reputational consequences.
The cyber criminal community has evolved from pranksters, lone wolves, and organized gangs to nation-states and hacktivist groups whose primary results have been increased costs and lost productivity. As enterprises and governments connect literally everything to the Internet, the size of their attack surface has grown, opening more opportunities for cyber criminals. Many of their current exploits are going unnoticed.
Here's a closer look at the evolution of cyber attacks, identified by Venafi.

Solution 1: Download the content again
Try to download the content again to see if the connection problem was temporary.
If you still can't download the content, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Simplify your setup

Peche Melba Recipes
Peach Melba with Almond Croquant
Peach Melba is a refreshing and fairly light dessert. It's normally composed of grilled peaches, vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce. I had a little fun with tradition today and paired the delicious trio with an almond and peach croquant (croquant pêche amande). The croquant reinforces the peach flavor of the dessert while providing a contrast in temperature to the ice cream. Its crunchy exterior is also a welcome foil to the softness of the grilled peaches. All in all, this elegant dessert will surely impress your summer dinner guests!
Since I received the Technique® Hard Anodized 12"x18" BBQ pan with DuPont™ Teflon®, I almost never do barbecue without this pan anymore. It does an outstanding job of grilling food on our barbecue. The slits let the charcoal essence through and provide beautiful grill marks, while still being small enough to keep the flames out or letting food fall through. The ridges channel the grease and fat from the meat down around the outsides of the pan, stopping it from going onto your barbecue and making clean up easier. This obviously wasn't an issue when grilling peaches, but it's definitely helpful when cooking savory dishes.
The biggest advantage I've found is that you can move food around easily (even with metal utensils) thanks to the non-stick coating. And I love the fact that the pan has tall handles, making it very portable. My only issue with the pan is that it's somewhat large and may be a tight fit for smaller grills. It fits comfortably on our grill, but I believe that they also make smaller versions you might want to look at if you're interested.

Rashida Jones Puts Her Own Spin On Fall's Menswear Trend
Here's what we know for sure about Jones: our Styled By subject has an unparalleled wit, she co-wrote and starred in romantic comedy Celeste and Jesse Forever, loves Thanksgiving stuffing, and designed a fine jewellery collection with sister design duo Dannijo, Fine by Dannijones, that is utterly sweet and chic. Oh, and she's a true style star. To prove it, Jones stopped by our L.A. offices and put together three outfits that that speak to her tomboy sensibilities.

Angelina Tuxedo Jacket ($500)
Coco 2 Necklace ($598)
"I think that Danielle and Jodi and have a good sense of humour in their jewellery: it's never too serious. It's fun and sometimes outrageous, so when we talked about doing a fine jewellery line we wanted to have inspiration that felt whimsical."

Cotton-Poplin Tuxedo Shirt ($385)

, LONDON, Aug 23 – The British royal family on Wednesday warned the country's newspapers not to publish nude photographs of Prince Harry cavorting with friends on holiday in Las Vegas.
The photographs, published in the United States by celebrity news website TMZ.com, showed the third-in-line to the throne naked in a hotel suite.
In one of the two photographs, the 27-year-old is pictured, apparently wearing only a watch and a necklace, covering his genitals with his hands while another person, who also appears to be nude, stands close behind him.
In the other, he is bent over bear-hugging a second person, who also appears to be naked. It is not clear if the person is a man or a woman.
Clarence House confirmed to AFP on Wednesday that the images were genuine. "At this time we don't have a comment," a spokesman told AFP, adding: "We may do later."
It is rare for Clarence House to confirm the validity of such images, which raise questions about security surrounding the British royal.
A royal spokesman later confirmed the family had contacted the Press Complaints Commission to request that British newspapers did not print the images, arguing it would be a breach of privacy.
The two images were taken at a private suite in the Wynn Resort after a game of strip billiards last weekend, according to TMZ.
Newspapers on Thursday adhered to the palace's request, although The Sun's front-page carried a mock-up of the infamous photograph with a journalist taking Harry's role next to the headline "Harry grabs the crown jewels".
The Mirror had "Harry naked romp" splashed across its front page while the Daily Mail ran with "Palace fury at Harry naked photos" as its main headline.
A royal source told the UK's Press Association news agency that Harry had been "letting off steam before the next phase of his military career".
Video has also been released from the same trip that purports to show the prince racing US Olympic swimming gold medallist Ryan Lochte in the pool of a nightclub in the hotel.
Lochte, who was in Las Vegas belatedly celebrating his 28th birthday, told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper that he was "surprised" Harry had challenged him to the race, which the swimming star won.
"He's a great guy, and it was a huge honour to meet him," Lochte was quoted as saying, adding: "I definitely wasn't going to take it easy on him!"
It is not the first time Harry has taken on one of the world's top sportsmen — during a Caribbean tour in March, he managed to beat the world's fastest man Usain Bolt in a joke race.
Harry was in Las Vegas after hosting a charity event in San Diego.
Known for his playboy reputation, the prince has tried to distance himself from that lifestyle.
He caused outrage in 2005 when photographs of him attending a fancy-dress party wearing a swastika armband appeared in the press, and was forced to apologise in 2009 when video footage emerged of him calling an Asian colleague "our little Paki friend".
The prince has also been pictured scuffling with a photographer and admitted to drinking under-age and smoking cannabis aged 17, but has recently presented a more grown-up image and stood in for the queen at the Olympics closing ceremony.
A trained army helicopter pilot, he has expressed a strong interest in returning to serve in Afghanistan. His first stint there had to be cut short in 2008 when a media blackout was breached.
It is not the first time British royalty has been embarrassed by leaked photographs with a topless picture of the Countess of Wessex, taken before she married Prince Edward, hitting the papers in 1999.
Sarah, Duchess of York, was also pictured having her feet kissed by US businessman John Bryan shortly after separating from her husband the Duke of York.

7 Things We Want to See in the 'Divergent' Sequel 'Insurgent'
Even though Summit Entertainment gave both Insurgent and Allegiant release dates months ago, the first sequel didn't get its green light until Divergent managed to lock in $4.9 million in Thursday late-night screenings. Now, with $56 million in the bank, Insurgent is heading towards a May start date, and there are quite a few things the filmmakers should consider that could make the second adaptation a hit.
Warning! There are Divergent spoilers below.
Uriah is a Dauntless-born initiate that makes an impression on Tris a handful of times throughout Divergent. Even though Uriah's name did make it onto the Dauntless initiate ranking board and someone who fit his character description did pop up during the zip-line scene, essentially, he wasn't in the movie. It's disappointing because he is a fan favorite, but the first film adaptation was likely better off without him considering he spends most of his time with the Dauntless-born initiates and doesn't have a significant impact on the flow of the narrative.
Insurgent is another story, though, and producer Douglas Wick recognizes that. While on the Divergent set back in May of 2013, he noted, "The reason on Uriah is really simple, which is it's such an important part of the second book that it's hard to get a great actor to come and stay here for three months for thirty seconds because we need you in the group." Really, he was never even part of the group in Divergent anyway. It was all about Tris, Christina, Al and Will, but now, with two of the four long gone, Tris could use a few more friends and it's exciting to know that Uriah will be one of them.
No Edward
Edward is born in Erudite, but transfers to Dauntless and is the top initiate in Tris' class. In the adaptation, it seems as though the character suffered from some serious scene cutting because while on set, Ben Lamb was front and center, and even participated in a lengthy interview during which he spoke about the infamous eye-stabbing incident and noted that it had been shot. Well, not only did that sequence never make it into the final cut of Divergent, but Edward barely did either. I believe he's got a single throwaway line and mere minutes of background screen time and that's it.
Edward's story does run through Insurgent, but at this point, why would we care? A major reason why he makes such an impression in the second book is because of what he experiences in the first and how that changes him, and now that all of that was left out of the first movie, there's no reason for that character to take time away from building up more pivotal veteran characters and newcomers in the second.
More Peter
With Fantastic Four nearing production, it's possible that Peter's presence in Insurgent will be scaled back, but, ideally, the more Peter in the movie, the better. He's unforgettable in the books because he's rotten to the core, but giving the character just the slightest bit of levity in the movie was an ingenious move. He's still quite vicious, but thanks to that hint of familiar Miles Teller charm, he's a serious threat, but, in a sense, an appealing one, too. Peter makes some interesting decisions as the story progresses, some of which give us access to an antagonist's thoughts like never before, and there's no doubt that Teller has the ability to make that a striking component of future films if he's given the material to do it.
Convincing Serums
We've already got the aptitude-test serum, the fear-landscape one, and Jeanine's simulation serum, but there's still more to come in Insurgent and they might be tough to sell. The filmmakers pull it off in the first movie because the serums trigger defined events. In Insurgent's case, however, we've got a truth serum and another that literally calms you to put you in a peaceful state. Oddly enough, a serum that puts a person in another realm is a cut-and-dry situation. It happens and that's that. Telling the truth and feeling euphoric are difficult because they're sensations that we can relate to. Whereas the simulation serum yields an unheard of result and all there is to do is show what happens, with the truth and peace serum, as well as a number of others, there's the added challenge of convincing an audience the serum is capable of deviating a norm.
When you have a character kill a friend and then watch both her parents perish, it's got to have a serious effect. Veronica Roth certainly lets the repercussions ripple throughout the trilogy and it will be pivotal for the folks behind Insurgent to match that because that's what gives this whole situation weight. Almost every single decision Tris makes in the second book is directly connected to the loved ones she's lost and the loved ones she's afraid to lose. In the first film the rules of the world that incited plot progress, but now that we've got the basics down, it's vital that the screenwriters pass the torch to Tris. The luxury of working within the context of the aptitude test, choosing ceremony and initiate training schedule is long gone. Other characters make decisions too, but in order for the new narrative to feel tight and poignant, Tris is the one that needs to move things forward.
Proper Secret Management
Exposition overload is never a good thing, but the exact opposite could be quite problematic, too. The characters in Insurgent are just a bunch of big fat liars. Whether they're harboring secrets, trying to protect someone or are concealing malicious intents, there is loads of saying one thing, but conspiring to do another and it might be tough to track. The key here will be giving an audience access to the main players and understanding what's important to them on a deeper level. Based on the quality of performances from the first film, the cast can handle it; it'll just come down to whether or not the writers and director Robert Schwentke give them the resources needed to make it happen.
It's easy to explain what it means to be Divergent, but it's also so much more than testing positive for multiple factions and the first film doesn't dig very deep in that respect – but it didn't have to. Divergent is all about the structure of the society, so being Divergent naturally stands out. However, in Insurgent, the faction system is crumbling and, on the surface, it's largely due to the fact that each group thinks they're right, but the change is also largely facilitated by what it means to be Divergent, and that's a concept that deserves some serious screen time.
Insurgent is scheduled for a March 20, 2015 release.

BitDefender Internet Security 2012 is a comprehensive security suite.
The lengthy feature list includes everything you'd expect, then: strong antivirus, an accurate spam filter, configurable firewall, browsing protection, and multiple layers of real-time protection to catch malware before it's able to cause any damage.
But that's just the start. You also get capable parental controls, solid file encryption, chat encryption to protect your conversations on Yahoo! and MSN Messenger, online backup and file sync tools, and even a tune-up module that will clear redundant files and Registry keys from your PC.
The latest 2012 edition of the suite includes many new features.
Scan Dispatcher ensures that antivirus scans are only run when your PC is idle, for instance, so they won't affect other tasks.
If the program finds it can't remove deeply embedded malware, like rootkits, then it's now able to reboot into Rescue Mode, a trusted environment where it's easier to detect threats, remove them and clean up your system.
Integrated cloud technologies now ensure faster responses to new threats. The Autopilot will automatically make the best security decisions on your behalf, which means no hassles from pop-ups or alerts (unless you want to see them). And the suite's remote management features allow you to maintain the security of your entire network from one central location.
More controversially, the 2012 range offers a brand new user-interface. This is quite a departure from the previous version. The jury is out on whether it's a positive move (to re-design the UI).
BitDefender Internet Security 2012 offers highly effective security for your computers, but the way it has been approached means that it is very easy to configure, whatever your needs.

Supply chain
At any given time, the World Food Programme (WFP) has thousands of people on the move; trucks, planes and ships moving tons of food and other essential items; and experts providing high quality services – all in a bid to bring closer a world without hunger.
With more than 50 years' experience delivering food assistance in some of the planet's remotest and most insecure regions, WFP is a partner of choice in humanitarian response and also, increasingly, in the effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
We work with governments and NGOs, with suppliers and local communities. We engage businesses and smallholder farmers. We invest in local economies, markets and the private sector.
By prioritizing local companies and national first responders, for both our emergency assistance and our resilience-building projects, we contribute to more sustainable agricultural systems, more dynamic retail sectors, more robust transport networks. Through our supply chain, we spend more than US$2 billion in the countries where we operate, filling gaps in local supply chains wherever needed.
Our expertise and the size of our demand for food, goods and services help strengthen these sectors, resulting in higher purchasing power for the people we serve. In operations involving cash, we help optimize the transport and bulk-buying strategies of our contracted retailers, so that they can cut costs and reduce shelf prices. This allows our beneficiaries to buy more – and more nutritious – food. Our planning, sourcing and delivery strategies make the most of donor resources and help professionalize commercial markets, thereby boosting economic growth.
WFP also makes this global capacity and expertise available to UN agencies, NGOs and governments.
We have a responsibility to offer shared services that enable our partners to reach those in need: safe and reliable transport for aid workers through UNHAS, the UN's only mandated humanitarian air service; global hubs that store and dispatch pre-positioned relief supplies through the UN Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD); or the ability to coordinate operations through inter-agency mechanisms such as the Logistics Cluster.
While perfecting the tools of emergency response, we continue to close the gap between the humanitarian and development contexts. Together with governments and other partners, we seek sustainable solutions to the underlying causes of crises, invest in more viable markets, and promote stronger commercial sectors.

The families who have turned to The Salvation Army for help this Christmas are stuggling to provide the basics for their children.
The families who have turned to The Salvation Army for help this Christmas are stuggling to provide the basics for their children.
One is a woman on disability with two children, 8 and 10 years old.
Not only does she not have enough money to buy Christmas presents, but she and the children have been abandoned by her husband.
Her family helps with the rent and other bills, but she doesn't want her children -- who have already experienced one loss -- to have nothing on Christmas morning.
And while the presents are no substitute for a father, they offer hope. Your donations to The Empty Stocking Fund will reassure this family that someone does care.
Your gifts say to this mother, you are not forgotten.
The Empty Stocking goal is $35,000 and the money will provide food and toys for 175 families with 450 children and 125 senior citizens. The goal will also help families who seek assistance from The Salvation Army all year long, said Maj. David Craddock.
"We do what we have to do in regards to Christmas," he said. "What's leftover will be put in a reserve account so in the summer months -- when we need it -- we will have it."

Call Today
Paper wasps, hornets and yellowjackets are a potential health threat. Hundreds (perhaps thousands) of people in the United States die each year from allergic reactions to the venom of these insects. Wasps, hornets and yellowjackets are more dangerous and unpredictable than honey bees and should be treated with respect; nests should be eliminated with great care and in a specific manner.
Paper Wasps Paper wasps, hornets and yellowjackets construct nests of a paper-like material which is a mixture of finely chewed wood fragments and salivary secretions of the wasps. Paper wasps typically build their umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and ledges. These wasps are not as aggressive as yellowjackets or hornets, and can be eliminated rather easily with a wasp and hornet spray sold at most grocery and hardware stores. These formulations have an added advantage in that they often spray as far as 20 feet.
Treatment of wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets is best performed at night; paper wasps can be eliminated during the daytime provided you do not stand directly below the nest during treatment. Most wasp and hornet sprays cause insects to drop instantly when contacted by the insecticide. Standing directly below a nest increases one's risk of being stung.
Following treatment, wait a day to ensure that the colony is destroyed, then scrape or knock down the nest. This will prevent secondary problems from carpet beetles, ants and other scavenging insects.
Hornets Hornets are far more difficult and dangerous to control than paper wasps. The nests resemble a large, inverted tear-drop shaped ball which typically is attached to a tree, bush or side of a building. Hornet nests may contain thousands of wasps which are extremely aggressive when disturbed. The nests are often located out of reach and removal is best accomplished by a professional pest control firm.
A full wasp suit sealed at the wrists, ankles and collar is recommended when disposing of a hornet nest. Treatment can be accomplished by applying a wasp freeze-type, aerosol insecticide or dust formulation (Sevin, or Ficam,) directly into the nest opening. Hornet nests have a single opening, usually toward the bottom, where the wasps enter and exit. It is essential that the paper envelope of the nest not be broken open during treatment or the irritated wasps will scatter in all directions, causing even greater problems.
Following treatment, wait at least a day before removing the nest to ensure that all of the wasps are killed. If hornets continue to be observed, the application may need to be repeated. Experienced pest control operators will sometimes remove a hornet nest which is attached to a branch by slipping a plastic garbage bag over the intact nest and clipping it at the point of attachment. This technique should not be attempted by anyone else and should only be done at night with a wasp suit.
Yellowjackets are another dangerous wasp encountered around homes and buildings. Nests are often located underground in an old rodent burrow, beneath a landscape timber, or in a rock wall or wall of a building.If the nest can be located, it can usually be eliminated by carefully applying a wasp spray insecticide into the nest opening.
Treatment should be performed late at night after all yellowjackets are in the nest and less active. It's best to pinpoint the nest opening during the daytime so you will remember where to direct your treatment after dark. Approach the nest slowly and do not shine the beam of the flashlight directly into the nest entrance as this may startle the wasps; instead, cast the beam to the side to illuminate the nest indirectly and place the light on the ground rather than in your hand. Similar to hornets, yellowjackets are extremely aggressive when the nest is disturbed. It may be prudent to call a professional pest control company, particularly when access to the nest is difficult.
People Who Are Allergic to the Venom Wasp, hornet and yellowjacket stings can be life-threatening to persons who are allergic to the venom. People who develop hives, difficulty breathing or swallowing, wheezing or similar symptoms of allergic reaction should seek medical attention immediately.

Nicki Minaj to Embark on Pink Friday Tour This Summer
Attention all Barbz! Nick Minaj has announced dates for her Pink Friday Tour, which starts this summer. This will be her first headlining trek since opening for Lil Wayne and Britney Spears on their respective tours last year.
The 15-city North American jaunt will kick off July 16 in Chicago and will hit several major cities like Detroit (June 17), Atlanta (July 22), Miami (July 24) and Las Vegas (Aug. 4) along the way. The trek wraps up on Aug. 12 in Vancouver.
Fans in New York, Philadelphia and New Jersey were upset that Minaj wasn't coming through their city and voiced their displeasure on Twitter. But there's a logical explanation for the exclusion. You see, Minaj is doing radio shows in San Francisco (May 10), Los Angeles (May 12), Philadelphia (June 1) and New York (June 3) so she couldn't double book those cities again.
"So just KNOW that I haven't forgotten!!! Routing & Venue Size play a big part barbz," she tweeted to her Barbz on her Twitter account. She then added, "I also can't double up in the cities where I'm doing radio shows. K?"
Judging by the venues, which seats normally 2,800-7,000 people, this is going to be an intimate tour so tickets are going to sell out quickly.
For Barbz who drop a little extra bones on their tickets, Minaj will set up a meet-and-greet at the venue where they will get a chance to meet the queen herself and get autographs and pictures taken.
Tickets will go on sale May 4. For more information on tickets and VIP deals, surf to her official website MyPinkFriday.com.

With two victories, two second places in five races and the title of vice champion, Nick De Vries can draw a very positive assessment of his participation in the WSK Euro Series in Super KF. The young Dutch driver is a rookie in the elite category of international karting, but that did not prevent him from constantly duelling with the best drivers, in addition to finishing his championship with a brilliant success in Sarno (Italy).
Just a few months ago, Nyck De Vries did not think he could win so many trophies in his first half-season. "I came from KF3, so my aim was to improve and gradually become more competitive to fight for victory. All things considered, a second place in the WSK Euro Series on my first season in Super KF is a great satisfaction for me. We decided to maintain our little independent structure despite the fact that we had to face major factory teams and we showed we are capable of some nice things. I would like to thank all my technical partners and all the people who are with me and support me".
After winning in Genk (Belgium), Nyck De Vries arrived in Sarno with confidence at its highest. 6th after the first timed qualifying session, he climbed to 2nd place in the Super Pole. Then, in each of the heats, the driver from Chiesa Corse set the best lap time in race. "Unfortunately there were several minor collisions in the pack and I lost a few precious places, so I was only 8th on the pre-final starting grid". Luckily enough, Nyck's competitiveness and his Zanardi-Parilla did wonders and he went back to second place.
"In the final race, I applied the strategy defined together with Dino Chiesa, my team manager, to the letter. I managed to make the best start and I pushed during the whole race to keep my first place, and again I set the best lap time". He left behind the winner of the WSK Euro Series 2010 and two former World Champions, i.e. three drivers who are much more experience than he is! "During the Championship, the puncture in Lonato, in March, cost me dearly, it was there that I probably lost the title. But Armand Convers was very strong this year, he was fast and regular. Now that there are only some weeks to go before the debut of the WSK World Series, this is a great result for me".
Nyck Loves Karting!
At the foot of the Vesuvius, Nyck De Vries appeared with a new decoration and a new suit. "In 2010, I planned to race in events organised by the International Federation, and by the WSK (both Euro Series and World Series), more or less as I had done over the last two years in KF3. Unfortunately, several constructors decided not to enter the European Championship, which was cancelled, and the World Championship seems to be going down the same path. The WSK series are very well organised and are top-level, but this situation significantly reduced the number of races for this season. As a consequence, with my white suit, I wanted to convey a peace message, to show all my love for karting and competition, regardless of whether races are organised by the CIK/FIA or the WSK!"

Did Justin Bieber Have a Hand in the Downfall of Blackberry?
Justin Bieber might have indirectly helped sink Blackberry. Wait, what? Why?
Well, The Biebs offered to endorse the product for a small fee and 20 phones in its more fledgling days... And the company said no! So he indirectly may have had a part in the once-mighty company's recent troubles as it flounders in the smartphone market.
Whoa, right? When in doubt, blame it on Da Biebs.
Despite its former dominance in the marketplace, the company is now struggling and its shares are trading at their lowest right now, as the iPhone and other devices have exploded.
But before everyone and their assistant was outfitted with a BlackBerry, from rank and file employees to celebrities, The Biebs wanted to be a part of the marketing and was turned down. Can you say "Oops?"
In an oral history piece that traced the up and down arc of the company, people who worked in different roles in the company when it was at its apex shared their stories.
It was revealed that the teen sensation, who is directly connected to a young, plugged in and millennial fanbase via Twitter and Instagram (aka the target demo for digital companies) said, "Give me $200,000 and 20 devices and I'm your brand ambassador."
The idea was pitched to marketing, who said, "This kid is a fad. He's not going to last."
That could have been a fatal mistake.
While BlackBerry surged and then sank, having Bieber behind it from the get-go could have pushed it down a very different course. The company might be in a different situation today. The Biebs wields that kind of influence.

I'm trying to make the program for my wedding. Basically what I want is for each program to be a single sheet of A3 printed front and back in landscape orientation and folded into three panels. This being a kind of fancy affair, I'd like to use my nice Hoefler font for the main text and the nice small caps. Here's the minimal example:
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text, Numbers=OldStyle]{Hoefler Text}
\setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase,Mapping=tex-text]{Hoefler Text}
This document will compile with xelatex, but it apparently overrides the A3 paper setting back to default letter paper size and shifts the orientation back to portrait. If I comment out the lines about fontspec and the font setting commands the document and compile with latexmk, then it comes out just fine. Apparently some people have run into similar problems when using the hyperref package with the leaflet class.
Anybody got any ideas how to fix this?

The View From 1776
Because He Could? Bill Clinton Conclusively Proves He Is the Worst President Ever
An appraisal by Kerry N. Jacoby of President Clinton's terms in office animated by the recent publication of Mr. Clinton's political biography. Mrs. Jacoby is the author of "Souls, Bodies, Spirits:? the Drive to Abolish Abortion Since 1973."
She also operates her own website at http://religiousredzone.blogspot.com/
So President William Jefferson Clinton (a.k.a. "Saturday Night Bill," "Bubba," and "Hillary's Dog") has come clean, has he? Apparently he thinks that feeling bad about giving vent to his basest impulses in the Oval Office ought to be good enough for us. In fact, he seems to think we ought to consider his alleged contrition worthy of not only our forgiveness, but our admiration.
I think not.
Shortly after his twinkly-eyed confession of marital failure, worldwide deceit, and unbridled lust first crossed my television set, I heard one of those two-sided cable discussions in which one side was trying to defend the former president and the other was trying not to vomit. "Well," the first averred demurely, "he was certainly a terrible husband—but he was a good president."
I beg your pardon?
Anyone who accepts "I did it because I could" as an excuse for the sorry mess Clinton made of his personal life in the highest office in the land knows nothing about what a good president is.
Let me be clear here. It wasn't my idea to return to the sad spectacle of William Jefferson Clinton. To the contrary: At this juncture, I was well resigned to just letting the whole thing go. It seems the Senate disagreed with me on the import of presidential lying and deception, and there it is. Case closed. Move (you'll excuse the expression) on. As long as Hillary stays off the national news and only bothers the East Coast, I've seen enough of the two of them to last a lifetime.
But then he came back. And he went and said it. He did it because he could. Translation: He had the power. She was young. And he could get away with it because he was the president of the United States.
And that can't be allowed to go unanswered.
Let us set aside the timeworn wail of wonder that no feminist has the nerve to even object to the idea that the presidency, occupied by a man, renders young women open season. Let us ignore the strange way he claims to be ashamed of himself and still bays loudly at the wicked Ken Starr. Instead, just for a minute, let's examine what kind of president his own statement makes him.
"Because I could" is not an excuse fitting for an American president, or even for an American. "Because I could" evokes the privilege of a class system we claim not to have. It smacks of a patriarchal objectification of young women and a disdain for those of lesser prestige unworthy of the leader of the free (and supposedly civilized) world.
It is said that the mad and perverse Roman Emperor Caligula once told his grandmother that his true power lay in the fact that "I can do anything to anyone at any time." Indeed, he could. And, over time, as no one stopped him, he indulged his every appetite to levels that today we would consider worthy of three weeks' worth of pictures on the front page of the New York Times.
He ate and drank whatever he chose, even while others starved, served by fawning sycophants waiting on him hand and foot. He pursued military adventures as a lackluster hobby, even declaring war against Neptune, without his generals or his military even trying to hold him back, because it soothed his deluded mind to think himself triumphant over the river god. He made his horse a Senator. Most telling of all, he consorted with all manner of men and women in myriad imaginative combinations—sometimes consensually, other times against their will. He bedded and murdered his own sister, cutting his child out of her womb because he believed he was Zeus. Only his own murder could put a stop to the full play of his perverse passions. None could refuse the Emperor; there was nothing he could not do.
Once upon a time, long after the pantheon of the Roman gods had fallen, there developed a theory known as the Divine Right of Kings. It held that the King was appointed by God and was permitted all things under Heaven. By rights, the King could do to anyone anything he pleased. He could be stopped only by another monarch, usually by intrigue, conquest, murder, or some combination of all three. After a long and bloody political and military debate concerning the powers of Kings, King John was coerced into giving up his absolute rights to do anything to anyone at Runnymeade on June 15, 1215 (oddly enough, the same week Clinton popped back into view with his new book.) While the Magna Carta largely returned power to the church and the barons at the time, it has since come to be regarded as a definitive statement on the limitations of monarchy. Still, in matters of the heart, as well as everyday life, monarchs and nobles continued to treat the commoners abominably, simply because they could.
A common person could not hope to press a successful case against a King, for he had no rights. Even a Queen, such as Anne Boleyn, could find herself headless for merely being inconvenient to the whims of the King. King Henry VIII invented a new religion to avoid the problem of not being able to get a divorce as a Catholic. This he could do simply because he was the King. And the Church, though strong and well-corrupted, could not touch him.
Eventually, on October 31, 1517, Martin Luther began a movement that advanced the radical notion that the Church had no right to interpret Scripture for the believer, that there was a personal conscience to be considered in all things. This freedom of conscience would eventually lead to an even more radical notion on the part of those who would come to the New World—that even the commonest of men had a right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness in a state of ordered liberty. While there were yet relationships of inequality and systemic classism, the seeds of their destruction were planted in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
It was a new notion, you see, this American concept that the King couldn't tell us what to do. The Declaration of Independence makes the astonishing argument that King George, by presuming to control the colonists, was in stark violation of something no one had ever heard of before—the inalienable rights of man. The Framers further argued that the reason for government was to protect those very rights, and if any government (such as the all-powerful Sovereign) failed to do so the subjects (that was us) had the equivalent right to rebel and govern themselves.
In the American antebellum South, as we all now know, men and women who were not white were treated as though they were not human. They were treated—in law—as property. They had no rights, and legions of Southern whites mistreated, raped, and killed "their" slaves. While they would have argued that much of the "discipline" meted out was to keep the slaves in line, there is little doubt in the vast literature on the period that much of the most perverse, cruel, inhumane and even inhuman behavior was a result of the headiness of having absolute power over another person. In other words, they did it just because they could. For America's "first black president" to invoke such a justification for his own behavior—with or without contrition—is a stunning blow to his image as a "man of the people."
It is to our credit as a nation that when this elitist excuse appears to rear its ugly head today, we recoil in disgust. The worst excesses of human behavior can be traced to the idea that some people are better than others. From the Taliban's tyranny to the people-shredding of Saddam's prisons—yes, even to the mistreatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib—unchecked power in the hands of unworthy men ever results in abuse, sin, and shame.
The American notion of equality rejects the idea that any man, of any station, may violate at will the laws of God and man. The "rule of law" was much maligned during the Clinton administration by those who thought the impeachment managers too "legalistic." Talking heads and law professors alike sniffed at the idea that this mysterious notion was somehow triggered by the President's "lying about sex." Yet it is that very rule of equality that protects us all from the tyranny of those who wield greater power than we—the notion that neither the peasant, nor the king, nor the president is above the law. "Because I can" implies that President Clinton believed that these laws and rules did not apply to him simply because he was president.
What else can be meant by this breathtaking admission? What made him think he could get away with adultery, evasion of the Secret Service, sexual misconduct in the Oval Office? It shudders one to imagine what might have happened had he not been stopped by the outrage of Linda Tripp. What else would he have done merely because he could? What else did he do merely because he could?
And one last point must be made on this issue. The Republican party is the founding party of American equality, because it was the Republican party that was founded for the very purpose of abolishing the vile institution of slavery. Thus, I have no qualms pointing out that Clinton's behavior is entirely un-Republican. We should expect no less.
But it pains me to admit, as well, that the Democratic Party itself has, over the past 4 decades or so, made an attempt to convince the American people that they, too, believe in equality. So much so that, at times, the party has tilted dangerously toward communism—a false system of enforced equality, which has never yet resulted in factual equality. At any rate, the constituent groups of the modern Democratic party are constantly claiming that they believe in equality, that women and men should be paid equally, that no one should be treated as a second-class citizen. And yet, here we have the standard-bearer of the new Democratic party—the practical heart of the movement itself—admitting to a stunningly lopsided view of human dignity.
You see, Clinton believed that because he was president, the law didn't apply to him. God's view of marriage and adultery didn't apply to him. The dignity of office that would prohibit sexual adventure in the Oval Office didn't apply to him. Nothing that would have applied to anyone else in the nation applied to him. Moreover, we must conclude that, since he lied about it when he got caught, the requirements of truth-telling under oath didn't apply to him. The promise to tell the truth, "so help me God" did not apply to him.
The saddest part of all is that the Senate, through their cowardice, and the American people, through their unending loyalty to this deceptive elitist adulterer—who, nonetheless, gave them the gift of an irrationally exhuberant economy—proved him right. The law did not apply to him. He left the office of the presidency in a shambles, carried off things he thought he had a right to, and has now begun energetically revising his own history. He wants us now to believe he was more sinned against than sinning, more a powerless victim of Kenneth Starr than a powerful victimizer of young women. If we accept this version of his performance, he will succeed in his quest to escape the truth of the past. But his triumph will be only over the hearts and minds of his contemporaries. It will not last.
What Mr. Clinton and his legion of sycophants do not understand is that his explanation makes him not only an abominable husband, father, and Christian—but fundamentally un-American as a president. He told Oprah that he doesn't excuse his behavior, but that is unimportant to history's assessment of him as president. The fact is that his motivations as president were base, selfish, and wrong. It is fine that he now recognizes that his actions were bad, but for some reason it has escaped him that doing bad things for bad reasons as president makes him a bad president.
Yet for those who do make the connection between bad motivations, bad behavior, and bad performance, there is some consolation to be taken from the past. In every case of "because I can," the tyrant, monarch, and slave-master finally fell, motionless and powerless, before the truth of history. Eventually, in the long march toward greater equality, truth and law triumphed over the brutal passions of selfish men. Let this be the last time such hubris is permitted in a nation of free people. He may have thought he could do what he did, but in the eyes of God and history, he will not get away with it.

Jackrabbits Not Interested In Sharing, Want Summit League Title All To Themselves
You can call them greedy if you want, but South Dakota State has no interest in being co-champions in the Summit League in 2014, and they need at least one more win to guarantee that won't happen.
The Jackrabbits begin the week 11-1 in conference play, two games ahead of IUPUI with two to play. One SDSU win or one Jaguar loss clinches the third straight outright crown for the Jacks.
Last week, South Dakota State ran its' current win streak to three with a win at home over North Dakota State.
In the game against the Bison, both teams struggled with poor shooting in the first half, but in the second it was all SDSU, as the Jacks shot 55 percent and outscored NDSU by 20. Chynna Stevens led the way with 18 points in 17 minutes.
SDSU head coach Aaron Johnston told me the NDSU rematch felt a lot like the first meeting between these two last month in Fargo:
The final weekend finds the Jacks on the road, starting Thursday at Denver, and coach Johnston is reminding his team there's still plenty to play for:
Tipoff is 8:00pm Thursday in Denver.

Basic Facts About Whales
Whales belong to the order cetacea, which includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. Whales are divided into two suborders: baleen and toothed whales. Baleen whales have a comb-like fringe, called a baleen, on the upper jaw, which is used to filter plankton, as well as small fish and crustaceans. They are the largest species of whale. Toothed whales have teeth and prey on fish, squid, other whales and marine mammals. They sense their surrounding environment through echolocation.
Like all mammals, whales breathe air into lungs, are warm-blooded, feed their young milk and have some (although very little) hair. Their bodies resemble the streamlined form of a fish, while the forelimbs or flippers are paddle-shaped. The tail fins, or flukes, enable whales to propel themselves through the water. Most species of whale have a fin on their backs known as a dorsal fin.
Did You Know?
Whales are mammals, and as such, they have hair—though very little of it!
Beneath the skin lies a layer of fat called blubber. It serves as an energy reservoir and also as insulation. Whales breathe through blowholes, located on the top of the head so the animal can remain submerged. Baleen whales have two blowholes,while toothed whales have one.
The diet of whales depends on their species; it can range from microscopic plankton to large marine mammals.
Varies with each species.
Whales live in all of the world's oceans, though their specific range varies by species.
Many whales, especially baleen whales, tend to migrate long distances from their cold-water feeding grounds to warm-water breeding grounds each year. They travel alone or in groups, or pods, on their annual migrations. Toothed whales often hunt in groups, migrate together and share young-rearing duties.
Did You Know?
The Blue Whale is the largest known mammal that has ever lived, and the largest living animal, at up to 110 feet long and 150 tons.
Most whales are quite active in the water. They jump high, or breach, out of the water and land back in the water. They also thrust their tails out of the water and slap the water's surface, which is believed to be a warning of danger nearby. Whales also communicate with each other using lyrical sounds. These sounds are extremely loud depending on the species and can be heard for many miles.
Because of their environment (and unlike many animals) and because they need to breathe air by coming to the water's surface, whales are conscious breathers, meaning they decide when to breathe. All mammals sleep, including whales, but they cannot afford to fall into an unconscious state for too long, since they need to be conscious to break the surface in order to breathe
Mating season: Varies depending on the species.
Gestation: 9-15 months, depending on the species.
Number of offspring: 1 calf.
Nursing time is long (more than one year for many species), which is associated with a strong bond between mother and young. This strategy of reproduction spawns few offspring, but provides each with a high probability of survival in the wild.
Threats to Whales
The effects of climate change will be felt by most marine creatures, and whales are certainly not excluded. Sea level rise and changes in sea temperature will leave whales quite vulnerable, and they may not be able to adapt quickly enough to survive. Arctic and antarctic whale habitat faces a particular threat from climate change. Whale food sources will also face challenges, such as a decline in krill population, which is the main food source for many large whale species.
What Defenders Is Doing to Help Whales
Defenders is currently hard a work on behalf of two highly endangered North American whale species. Learn more about our efforts to save the Cook Inlet beluga whale and the North Atlantic right whale.
Whaling is one of the biggest threats to whales. By the middle of the 20th century, whaling had left many populations severely depleted. The International Whaling Commission introduced a moratorium which continues to this day. However, there are still some exceptions to this moratorium. This allows countries like Norway, Iceland and Japan and the aboriginal communities of Siberia, Alaska and northern Canada to continue their annual whale hunts.
In addition, several species of small whales are caught as bycatch in fisheries for other species. Exposure to contaminants and pollution also threaten whales. Scientists also believe that underwater sonar testing by the navies of various countries leads to whale beachings. Mass whale beachings occur in many species, mostly beaked whales that use echolocation systems for deep diving. Whales are also threatened by climate change because higher water temperatures in the Antarctic Ocean are reducing populations of krill, a small-shrimp-like crustacean that is the main food source for some whale species.

If you didn't know by now, Malachai are preparing to release their second album Return To The Ugly Side on 22nd February on Domino Records. The record has already been receiving some rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic:
'Wistful singer Gee and subtle sampler Scott incorporate psychedelic electronica, sleepy funk, and clattering garage rock, crafting a surprisingly unified piece that drifts through your subconscious like a pleasantly odd dream.' - SPIN Magazine
'Fascinating second LP from the experimental duo. Lurching from inspired to confounding, but never boring.' – Uncut 4*
'Bristol duo mix up hugely potent psychedelic brew.' – Q 4*
Pre-order Return To The Ugly Side
In case you missed it last week when Scott and Gee unveiled the dark and tripped out video for their new single Let 'Em Fall, directed by David Corfield, here it is again:

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Don't look at the calendar and assume that just because we are still months away from regular season games that there's nothing to talk about.
That's not the way we roll here at headquarters. There's plenty of news (Allen Iverson's pending and "official" retirement, the comebacks of Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, Danny Granger and others, Jeremy Lin suggesting that his coaches in Houston lost faith in him last season, the mounting pressure on Blake Griffin in Los Angeles, etc.) and views to be had with our guests.
Super model and "Brooklyn to the bone" hoops fan Damaris Lewis and Yahoo! Sports NBA columnist Marc J. Spears don't hold back in their assessments of what's gone on this summer and what could be in store for us all during the 2013-14 NBA season.
There will be no Nets takeover of New York, says Lewis, and the Indiana Pacers might be "pound-for-pound" better than the Miami Heat right now, per Spears.
We dig into that and a whole lot more on Episode 129 of the Hang Time Podcast featuring Damaris Lewis and Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports …
As always, we welcome your feedback. You can follow the entire crew, including the Hang Time Podcast, co-hosts Sekou Smith of NBA.com, Lang Whitaker of NBA.com's All-Ball Blog and renaissance man Rick Fox of NBA TV, as well as our new super producer Gregg (just like Popovich) Waigand and the best engineer in the business, Jarell "I Heart Peyton Manning" Wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Street/Sanitation and Recycling
Can I haul garbage myself?
If you are a water customer with the city, you are charged a garbage fee on your monthly water bill, so it is not necessary to haul the garbage to the landfill site yourself.
Does the city of Jefferson have a mosquito program?
Yes. Our mosquito program starts June 1 and ends Sept. 30. Mosquito briquettes are placed in confined standing water in Jefferson and also the perimeter of the city. The rest of the city is sprayed once or twice a week, depending on the amount of moisture and mosquito population.
Does the Sanitation Dept. rent large roll off dumpsters?
No. The Sanitation Dept. only has 1 or 2 yard dumpsters for temporary use (2 months maximum).
How can I get rid of furniture and appliances?
They may be disposed of on your weekly garbage days. One truck will pickup the garbage while another flatbed truck will be sent to your address for the furniture or appliances.
How do I get a recycling bin?
They may be picked up at City Hall. There is no charge. The City provides a quarterly recycling calendar at 220 N. Chestnut for your convenience.
How do I set out cardboard?
Small pieces of cardboard can go in your green recycling bin. For larger pieces of cardboard, flatten, fold, and place them under the green recycling bin. Please do not use string or tape.
How do pot holes form and who do I call to report one?
Potholes can be caused by many factors such as: expansion and contraction of the pavement due to temperature fluctuations; inadequate drainage; faulty materials and unstable sub grade, to name a few. We strive to repair potholes as soon as we are aware of their existence. To report a pothole, call the Street Department at 515/386-3252.
How many cans or bags are we allowed without a charge?
You may have two (2) cans OR four (4) large kitchen bags weighing up to 30 pounds each.
How much snow must fall before the snow plows are sent out?
Many things determine when the snow plows are sent out: the rate of snowfall per hour; the moisture content of the snow; the ambient temperature of the air; the temperature of the pavement; the wind direction and velocity; the time of day; and the forecast of the predicted snowfall. Unless extenuating circumstances make it inadvisable to do so, snowplows are activated when two (2) or more inches of snow have fallen on the ground.
How often do the streets get swept?
The residential sweeping schedule is every other week. The downtown sweeping schedule is once a week on Friday.
I have a heave in the sidewalk on my property, who is responsible?
It is the home owner?s responsibility for upkeep of the sidewalk.
Is the city responsible for maintaining the trees in the right of way?
No. It is the property owner's responsibility to maintain the tree. The city ordinance states that limbs overhanging the roadway must be 15 ft. above the street or 2 ft. behind the curb, and 10 ft. above the sidewalk.
My brush did not get picked up, why?
Tree and brush trimmings must be stacked in arm load piles (2ft. by 2ft. around) with cut ends facing the street. The length of the limbs does not matter. Citizens do not have to cut them up into little pieces. REMINDER: This service is for tree trimmings only. Entire trees will be left curbside.
There is a tree on my property that is dead or diseased. It is on the city right of way. Who should I call about taking care of this problem?
To report a dead or diseased tree, call the Street Department at 515/386-3252.
What are the Street Department's duties for the City of Jefferson?
The Street Department has four employees and is responsible for all street maintenance including street sweeping, street patching, traffic signs, paint striping and markings, equipment maintenance and repair (Police and Street Dept. vehicles), the removal of dead or diseased trees in the city right of way, snow and ice removal and mosquito control.
What do we do with construction and demolition waste?
The best advice is to rent a dumpster from the City. You may rent one for a maximum of two months at $35 per month and a dumping fee of $20 per dump for the most common size dumpster 11/2 yard.
When a dumpster is full and ready to be emptied, call City Hall at 515-386-3111. The City requests at least a four hour notice so the sanitation crew can empty it prior to their departure at approximately 1:30 p.m. to the landfill for the day.
What goes in the green recycling bin?
White paper, tin, mixed paper and/or newspapers, cardboard, and plastic items. All items must be sorted and bagged in paper or plastic bags. A sample bin is on display at City Hall.
What items cannot be accepted for recycling?
Pizza boxes, pop or beer boxes, waxed quart and gallon milk cartons, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, styrofoam, windows, picture frame glass, or Corelle glass. If the collector leaves an item in your green bin, it is not recyclable. Recycling is natural and easy! Please help keep Greene County GREEN!
What other city services are offered?
*Spring and Fall Cleanup Days (some extra charges apply)
*One Household Hazardous Waste Collection event each year.

Garbage bags may not be smaller that the Tall Kitchen Bags (13 gallon) size. Each bag shall not exceed 30 pounds.

When does the city chip brush? Can I dispose of the brush myself?
The Street Dept. chips brush on the last full week of the month. If this week is missed by the home owner, he or she may haul the brush to the east end of Daubendiek Park.
Where do I place my garbage?
Residential areas have weekly curbside collection. Place your garbage upon the parking within an arms reach or the edge of the street in front of your home or apartment.
Where is the landfill?
Jefferson belongs to the Metro Park West Landfill and that is the only dumping site available to Jefferson residents. Occasionally, you may need to haul construction materials or yard waste materials yourself, rather than renting a city dumpster, so you may choose to take it to the landfill site.
Landfills have many rules and regulations. Contact Metro Park West Landfill at 515-436-8252 prior to hauling your own refuse for rules and directions to the Metro Park West Landfill.
Where may I purchase yard waste stickers and bags?
Yard waste stickers may be purchased for $1.00 each at City Hall and yard waste bags may be purchased at several local retail stores.
Who collects my garbage?
The City of Jefferson operates their own refuse collection within the city limits. The City is divided into four sections and garbage is collected once a week. See Sanitation Collection Days Map.
Who do I contact about a problem with my street?
Call Dave Teeples, Street Superintendent at 515-386-3252 between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday and leave a message.
Why wasn't my garbage picked up?
Reasons for non-service include: Your garbage can was over the 35 gallons limit, loose garbage in the can, the garbage can may have been too far from curb, the garbage can may have been over 50 pounds, or the garbage can may have been placed out for pickup after 6 a.m., therefore haulers may have already gone by your residence.

Reviewed by Gregory B. (age 9)
My favorite part was when Scooby and Shaggy found a mummy in the actor's closet. I liked the character of the ogre because he was sneaky and could swing on the ropes without making the curtain close.
I think this ogre is like Shrek, the ogre because they both scare people and both are mean. Shrek changed by the end of the story but the opera ogre stayed mean throughout the book.
I have read other books by the same author and they are all similar because the villan is always in a costume like a ghostly gorilla and a howling wolfman.
I recommend this book for first through third grades for those who like adventure books that are exciting to read.

No Christian radio, no Christian TV, no Christian books, no Christian magazines, no Christian music of any kind.
The Christmas season is the time when we think more about Jesus than most times during the year. But just imagine if He had not come to earth? What if he had not been born in Bethlehem? What if he had not walked the dusty roads of Judea? What if he had not uttered those wonderful words we call the Sermon on the Mount? What if he had not walked on water? What if he had not made the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk? What if he had never raised the dead? What if we didn�t have his words to comfort us, to challenge us, to teach us, and to lead us to God? What if he never died on the cross? What if he never rose from the dead? What if he never sent his disciples out into the world?
If Christ had not come, how would the world be different? Just for a moment, imagine that some powerful hand has wiped the influence of Christ out of our civilization, as a hand would clean a blackboard in a schoolroom. Go to a library to find no trace left of the life or words of Jesus. All has vanished. In the encyclopedias the entries on �Jesus Christ� have all been removed.
No Christian radio, no Christian TV, no Christian books, no Christian magazines, no Christian music of any kind. No great hymns, no choruses, no gospel songs. No Billy Graham crusades. No Martin Luther. No Reformation. No missionaries spreading the gospel. No Wycliffe Bible Translators. No Christian relief agencies bringing hope and help to the hurting people of the world. No Christian colleges, no seminaries, no Bible correspondence schools. No Christian doctors, lawyers, dentists, no godly business people donating their time and resources for Christ and his Kingdom.
No Christmas carols. No children singing �Away in the Manger.� No �Sweet Little Jesus Boy.� No �I�ll be home for Christmas.� No Christmas Eve services for there is no Christmas to celebrate.
No churches anywhere if He did not come. No buildings, no parishioners, no staff, no choirs, no sanctuaries, no worship, no sermons because we would have nothing to preach. None of the things we take for granted. All would be gone, vanished into the mist if Christ had not come.
But God did send His Son, Jesus, into the world to be our Savior. Listen to the angel, �Fear not! For I bring you good news of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior who is Christ the Lord� (Luke 2:11-12).
We have hope because of Jesus. We can have salvation because of Jesus. Jesus is Immanuel - God with us.
May you have a glorious and blessed Christmas this year as we worship God Who took on human flesh - Jesus Christ, our Savior, our Immanuel. Merry Christmas!

NCAA approves 68-team mens basketball tourney
By MICHAEL MAROT
AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS The NCAA's Board of Directors has approved the new 68-team men's basketball tournament that will begin next season.
It's the first expansion since 2001 when the tourney went from 64 to 65 teams.
How the new format will work isn't likely to be determined until this summer, when the men's basketball issues committee meets. It is believed the tourney will include four opening-round games, often called play-in games, instead of the one that has been used since 2001.
The NCAA recommended the expansion last week, when it also announced it had reached a new 14-year, $10.8 billion television package with CBS and Turner Broadcasting to broadcast the NCAA's marquee event.
