When Hope, the eagle that towered, could see  No cliff beyond him in the sky,  His pinions were bent droopingly--  And homeward turned his softened eye.  'Twas sunset: When the sun will part  There comes a sullenness of heart  To him who still would look upon  The glory of the summer sun.  That soul will hate the ev'ning mist  So often lovely, and will list  To the sound of the coming darkness (known  To those whose spirits hearken) as one  Who, in a dream of night, _would_ fly,  But _cannot_, from a danger nigh.  What tho' the moon--tho' the white moon  Shed all the splendor of her noon,  _Her_ smile is chilly--and _her_ beam,  In that time of dreariness, will seem  (So like you gather in your breath)  A portrait taken after death.  And boyhood is a summer sun  Whose waning is the dreariest one--  For all we live to know is known,  And all we seek to keep hath flown--  Let life, then, as the day-flower, fall  With the noon-day beauty--which is all.  I reached my home--my home no more--  For all had flown who made it so.  I passed from out its mossy door,  And, tho' my tread was soft and low,  A voice came from the threshold stone  Of one whom I had earlier known--  O, I defy thee, Hell, to show  On beds of fire that burn below,  An humbler heart--a deeper woe.

Former prosecutor Michael Mazzariello was finally doing the kind of legal work he'd always dreamed of, but after less than a year of helping East New York's poor, he's getting booted from the bodega he turned into an office. Nearly a year ago, Mazzariello, a former assistant district attorney who grew up in East New York, started a nonprofit practice helping the working poor navigate the legal system. Immigration, landlord-tenant disputes and even criminal cases are the specialty of his East New York Legal Services Corp. on New Lots Ave. The office, in a former bodega, was Mazzariello's idea, and he got some help from high places early on. "I picked up the phone and called Rudy Giuliani on his radio program," Mazzariello said. "I said, 'Mr. Mayor, we're interested in renting space in a building the city owns. "I swear, within an hour, the building was ours. We filled out all the paperwork. We got the nonprofit status from the feds. We were rolling." Refusing to charge clients, Mazzariello, 42, said he used his family's savings to sustain the office during the first year. Already recognized as a federal nonprofit, the agency is awaiting state status that would allow it to survive on charitable donations. "This is what I want to do - to give back to the community," said Mazzariello, who worked under Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes from 1990 to 1993, followed by a stint as the Board of Education's chief prosecutor. Under the city Housing Preservation and Development Department's tenant ownership program, Mazzariello and partner Joe Guzzo learned they could rent to own. They invested $8,500 in a new facade, rest room makeover and other modest improvements.

Continental climates are found in inland areas. They are too far from oceans to experience the effects of ocean water. Continental climates are common between 40 and 70 north latitude. There are no continental climates in the Southern Hemisphere. Can you guess why? The southern continents at this latitude are too narrow. All of their inland areas are close enough to a coast to be affected by the ocean! Humid continental climates get plenty of precipitation year round. The northeastern U.S. has this type of climate. Summers are warm to hot, and winters are cold. Deciduous trees grow in this climate. They lose their leaves in the fall and grow new ones in the spring. Subarctic climates have cool and short summers. Winters are long and cold. Much of Canada and Alaska have this type of climate. Little precipitation falls, and most of it falls during the summer. Conifer forests grow in this climate.

Walking didn't build up much heat; it just moved the air enough to chill me more. After I'd walked about a block, a car rolled up behind me. It slowed down as it neared me and I started to worry. This wasn't the best of neighborhoods. I kept my eyes straight ahead and tried to walk more quickly without showing it. I heard an automatic window roll down. "Hey," said a male voice, "do you need some help?" I turned around. The man looked over forty, and he was driving a car I'd be afraid to drive on this street. "It's a long way to anywhere worth going," he said. "Would you like some help?" "Ah, I think I'm fine, thanks," I told him, and turned back to the sidewalk. "Really, I'd like to help. Please, hop in. You don't look dressed for this weather." I glanced back over my shoulder. "No thanks, sir! I'm just fine. Really, don't worry about me." "Nathan Spencer, I offer you help.

I pulled out the hammer and one of the stakes. He leapt over the pews, soaring like a grasshopper, and drew a gleaming knife in midair. I dodged, but he tossed it, and I held the box in front of my face. The blade lodged in the wood, its silver point penetrating the velvet and nearly reaching my skin. My arms shook from the force of his throw. Then he landed heavy beside me and I scrambled to stand. His first move pulled out the dagger, almost wrenching my arms from their sockets as I held on to the box, and the second shattered the box with a crushing punch that sent me reeling backwards. I dropped the splinters and the broken second stake and raised my hammer, ready to drive the ash spike into his heart. Behind him, I saw Nepthys running between the pews. I braced my legs against the stone floor and he was on me. I raised the stake; he drew back the dagger for a slash that could doubtless open my neck from throat to spine. The stake went down, there was a blur, and then my hands were empty and I felt pain under my jaw. Two points of fire opened in my throat for an instant, then all went numb. Taste, hearing and touch became a single blur, and I do not know if my eyes were open. My mind began to dissipate, but then I felt the pain withdraw and a lifeless voice said, "This one's blood isn't worth drinking." Hands closed on my neck and I felt my spine crack. I must have fallen to the floor then. I could perceive Nepthys' sword flashing over me, and I heard steel crack, then bone. I thought I heard Rachel's voice blearily calling for me. Then one set of footsteps began walking toward the altar. I was content to let myself drift away, and I had almost forgotten the body lying with broken neck on the cathedral's hard tiles when I felt a warm touch on its cheek.

On January 25, Tenet briefed the President on the Cole investigation. The written briefing repeated for top officials of the new administration what the CIA had told the Clinton White House in November. This included the "preliminary judgment" that al Qaeda was responsible, with the caveat that no evidence had yet been found that  Bin Laden himself ordered the attack. Tenet told us he had no recollection of a conversation with the President about this briefing. In his January 25 memo, Clarke had advised Rice that the government should respond to the Cole attack, but "should take advantage of the policy that 'we will respond at a time, place and manner of our own choosing' and not be forced into knee-jerk responses." Before Vice President Cheney visited the CIA in mid-February, Clarke sent him a memo-outside the usual White House document-management system-suggesting that he ask CIA officials "What additional information is needed before CIA can definitively conclude that al-Qida was responsible" for the Cole. In March 2001, the CIA's briefing slides for Rice were still describing the CIA's "preliminary judgment" that a "strong circumstantial case" could be made against al Qaeda but noting that the CIA continued to lack "conclusive information on external command and control" of the attack. Clarke and his aides continued to provide Rice and Hadley with evidence reinforcing the case against al Qaeda and urging action. The President explained to us that he had been concerned lest an ineffectual air strike just serve to give  Bin Laden a propaganda advantage. He said he had not been told about Clinton administration warnings to the Taliban. The President told us that he had concluded that the United States must use ground forces for a job like this. Rice told us that there was never a formal, recorded decision not to retaliate specifically for the Cole attack. Exchanges with the President, between the President and Tenet, and between herself and Powell and Rumsfeld had produced a consensus that "tit-for-tat" responses were likely to be counterproductive. This had been the case, she thought, with the cruise missile strikes of August 1998. The new team at the Pentagon did not push for action. On the contrary, Rumsfeld thought that too much time had passed and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, thought that the Cole attack was "stale." Hadley said that in the end, the administration's real response to the Cole would be a new, more aggressive strategy against al Qaeda. The administration decided to propose to Congress a substantial increase in counterterrorism funding for national security agencies, including the CIA and the FBI.

Mrs Keswick ate supper with her guests, and behaved very well. During the evening she sustained the main part of the conversation, giving the company a great many anecdotes and reminiscences of old times and old families, relating them in an odd and peculiar way that was very interesting, especially to Croft, to whom the subject matter was quite new. But, although her three companions listened to the old lady with deferential attention, interspersed with appropriate observations, each one made her the object of severe mental scrutiny, and endeavored to discover the present object of her scheming old mind. Roberta was quite sure that her invitation and that of Mr Croft was a piece of artful management on the part of the old lady, and imagined, though she was not quite sure about it, that it was intended as a bit of match-making. To get her married to somebody else, would be, of course, the best possible method of preventing her marrying Junius; and this, she had reason to believe, was the prime object of old Mrs Keswick's existence. But why should Mr Croft be chosen as the man with whom she was to be thrown. She had learned that the old lady had seen him before, but was quite certain that her acquaintance with him was slight. Could Junius have told his aunt about the friendship between herself and Mr Croft? It was not like him, but a great many unlikely things take place.

Question: Did the guests suspect that Mrs. Keswick had ulterior motives for the dinner?

Answer: No, they were oblivious to Mrs. Keswick's true intentions

Answer: Yes

Answer: Yes Roberta felt that Mrs. Keswick had thought that the dinner was intended as a match-making event

The recent death of the "snake-handling" pastor of a small Pentecostal church in Kentucky has raised an age-old conflict between church and state. Jamie Coots, the pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name in Middlesboro, Kentucky, died after being bitten on his right hand by a rattlesnake during a weekend church service where he was handling rattlesnakes willingly, it seems. It has been reported that the late pastor's son Cody Coots has continued the snake-handling tradition even after his father's death. People handle snakes at church for the same reason that people do lots of things: the Bible tells them so. "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." Mark 16:17-18 This biblical passage is the genesis of serpent-handling for churches of the Holiness movement and the Pentecostal Church of God. For the faithful, those two verses are the authority for dancing with or passing around poisonous snakes during church services. Moreover, if bitten, they are likely to refuse medical treatment and rely upon God to heal them. There's just one problem with this Biblical authority. Another authority, known as the Commonwealth of Kentucky. In Kentucky, the practice is illegal. Well, barely. Under the applicable section KRS Â§437.060, any person who displays, handles or uses a snake in connection with any religious gathering shall be fined $50 to 100. Hardly a capital offense. The Kentucky legislature has sent a message: poisonous snake-handling is marginally illegal -- but not as illegal as drugs or other crimes. The legislature's assigned penalty appears to fall somewhere between a speeding ticket and an overdue library book.

Question: In Kentucky, can you use poisonous snakes during church services?

Answer: No

Answer: The practice is illegal

Answer: Yes

Answer: The practice is legal

Question: What Bible verse do some believe gives people the authority to handle snakes and be immune to poison?

Answer: Luke 16: 17-18

Answer: Matthew: 12: 10-11

Answer: Mark 28:17:19

Answer: Mark 16:17-18

Answer: Luke: 18: 22-24

Question: Did Jamie coots live in a state where using a poisonous snake during church services is legal?

Answer: Using a poisonous snake during church services is legal in Kentucky

Answer: No, using a poisonous snake during church services is illegal in Kentucky

Alexander began his reign by eliminating potential rivals to the throne. He had his cousin, the former Amyntas IV, executed. He also had two Macedonian princes from the region of Lyncestis killed, but spared a third, Alexander Lyncestes. Olympias had Cleopatra Eurydice and Europa, her daughter by Philip, burned alive. When Alexander learned about this, he was furious. Alexander also ordered the murder of Attalus, who was in command of the advance guard of the army in Asia Minor and Cleopatra's uncle. Attalus was at that time corresponding with Demosthenes, regarding the possibility of defecting to Athens. Attalus also had severely insulted Alexander, and following Cleopatra's murder, Alexander may have considered him too dangerous to leave alive. Alexander spared Arrhidaeus, who was by all accounts mentally disabled, possibly as a result of poisoning by Olympias. News of Philip's death roused many states into revolt, including Thebes, Athens, Thessaly, and the Thracian tribes north of Macedon. When news of the revolts reached Alexander, he responded quickly. Though advised to use diplomacy, Alexander mustered 3,000 Macedonian cavalry and rode south towards Thessaly. He found the Thessalian army occupying the pass between Mount Olympus and Mount Ossa, and ordered his men to ride over Mount Ossa. When the Thessalians awoke the next day, they found Alexander in their rear and promptly surrendered, adding their cavalry to Alexander's force. He then continued south towards the Peloponnese. Alexander stopped at Thermopylae, where he was recognized as the leader of the Amphictyonic League before heading south to Corinth. Athens sued for peace and Alexander pardoned the rebels. The famous encounter between Alexander and Diogenes the Cynic occurred during Alexander's stay in Corinth.

Free Legal advice is only a phone call away - and the hot lines that provide it are expanding their services. It's a little known perk available to anyone 60 or older: 21 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico operate legal-assistance hot lines for older adults and most take calls from younger caregivers as well. Volunteers offer advice on legal questions, provide self-help materials, and make referrals to legal aid offices and pro bono or reduced-fee private lawyers. Even if you live in a state without a hot line, local agencies on aging will provide you with referrals to nearby lawyers. The hot lines and referral services tackle estate planning, pension, and health benefits, elder abuse and neglect, guardianship custodial issues involving grandchildren, consumer protection and other elder-law issues. The U.S. administration on Aging coordinates this loosely knit legal-services network. Anyone who meets the age requirement can call the hot line, but hands-on legal counsel goes first to people with the greatest financial or social needs. The federal Agency recently awarded $2 million in grants to improve elder-law services, with the largest part being used to bolster 12 hotlines around the country, some of which are adding Web-based questionnaires and outreach projects in rural areas and for older people who don't speak English. For a list of where the hotlines operate, along with their phone numbers and hours, go to www.aoa.gov/legal/hotline.html, or call the federal Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116. If you live in a state without a hot line, the locator can point you to local legal assistance. Another source of low-cost help also expanded this year: AARP's Legal Services Network is now available in 46 states and expects to reach all 50 by the end of March. You have to pay the group's dues ($10 a year) to use the services; after that you get 30 minutes of legal counseling, either face-to-face or by phone, at no cost. Lawyers discount their usual rate by 20% after that. Simple wills cost $75 apiece. You can reach the service at 800-424-3410 or go to www.aarp.org/LSN to find a lawyer nearby.

There was a little murmur of protest at this, for the house appeared to be scarcely bigger than the automobile.  But Uncle John pointed out, sensibly enough, that they ought not to undertake an unknown road at nighttime, and that Spotville, the town for which they were headed, was still a long way off.  The Major, moreover, had a vivid recollection of his last night's bed upon the roof of the limousine, where he had crept to escape rattlesnakes, and was in no mood to again camp out in the open while they traveled in Arizona.  So he advocated accepting Dan'l's invitation.  The girls, curious to know how so many could be accommodated in the bungalow, withdrew all further objections and stood upon the low, pergola-roofed porch while their host went inside to light the lamps.  They were really surprised at the cosy aspect of the place.  Half the one-story dwelling was devoted to a living room, furnished simply but with modest taste.  A big square table was littered with music, much being in manuscript--thus proving Dan'l's assertion that he was a composer.  Benches were as numerous as chairs, and all were well-cushioned with tanned skins as coverings.  A few good prints were on the walls and the aspect of the place was entirely agreeable to the old man's guests.

Strange things have always happened to my family. It came in through my mother's blood; my Russian grandmother would always tell me stories, bylichkas, of ancestors with the "second sight", stupid mill owners who discovered bags of gold after letting a special fish off their hooks, and dark strangers who used to appear to help or interfere at crucial times. When I asked her if she'd ever seen them – before I was old enough to stop believing, I mean – she would always look sad and tell me, "No, not since the family came to America has anything happened to us. But if you ever should see a faerie, tell him that you are of the blood of Ivan Bogatyrivitch and he will not pass you by so quickly." As I got older, I shook the tales off with a nod and a "Yes, Nana." I got older and went to school, then to college, and I replaced the dreams my Nana gave me with the music DJs mixed for crowds in clubs, webs of pulse that shook us until we could believe anything. My girlfriend Rachel and I would go to the clubs near our school. Sometimes we'd get word that people were gathering under one of the bridges, and we'd rush down to hit it before the cops broke it up. Boston is a strange place at night. You wouldn't believe half of the shit I've seen, even when I was straight. It was a Friday night. Rachel and I went out to dinner, and when we finished, she saw that there was a message on her cell phone. She checked it there in the restaurant. Her head tilted into the phone as she listened, her pleather purse on her lap, shining jet against the worn black of her snug Dead Can Dance T-shirt. "It's from Mitch," she said, folding up the phone. "He says we should meet him tonight, there's a good one going on in that church that closed down last month."

(CNN) -- Tiger Woods kick started his 2013 season on his favorite golf course with a seven-under 65 Friday at Torrey Pines lifting him to the top of the leader board in the Farmers Insurance Open. Defying cold and wet conditions at La Jolla in California, the World No.2 carded a halfway total of 11-under 133 at the PGA Tour event. It left him two clear of fellow American Billy Horschel, who battled to a 69 on the more difficult South Course. Woods has won the tournament at the same venue six times and also famously claimed the 2008 U.S. Open, despite being handicapped by injury, Woods, who began his campaign by missing the cut at at European Tour event in Abu Dhabi last week, the same fate befalling No.1 Rory McIlroy, showed that was a mere blip with inspired play on the easier North Course. Starting from the 10th, his round took off with a birdies on the 14th and 17th and an eagle on the 18th, set up by a superb iron approach. The American ace started his back nine with straight birdies and as the rain came down he continued his fine progress. Two birdies came in his final three holes, sandwiching his sole bogey on the day. Woods said he was delighted to have backed up his fine driving with good recovery play on the rare occasion he was off the fairway. "I've got my short game back to where I want to have it," he said after his round.

Leaves are the keys not only to plant life but to virtually all life on land. The primary role of leaves is to collect sunlight. This sunlight is needed for the plant to make food. Leaves vary in size, shape, and how they are arranged on stems. You can see examples of different types of leaves in Figure 3.4. Each type of leaf is well suited for the plants environment. It maximizes light exposure while conserving water. They also reduces wind resistance. Leaves also benefit the plant in some other way in its particular habitat. For example, some leaves are divided into many smaller leaflets. This reduces wind resistance and water loss. Leaves are basically factories for photosynthesis. A factory has specialized machines to produce a product. In a leaf, the 'machines' are the chloroplasts. A factory is connected to a transportation system that supplies it with raw materials and carries away the finished product. In a leaf, transport is carried out by veins containing vascular tissue. Veins carry water and minerals to the cells of leaves. They carry away dissolved sugar.

As water flows through, it causes changes. The flowing water dissolves some types of rock. Some rocks dissolve more easily than others. Over time, the water may dissolve large areas of rocks. With enough time, holes, or caves, can form. Groundwater drips from the ceiling to the floor of a cave. Even deep in the ground, water is still pulled by gravity. This falling water is rich in dissolved minerals. Some of these minerals do not stay dissolved. When this happens, the minerals start to build up. They build up on the ceiling of the cave to create formations called stalactites. A stalactite is a pointed, icicle-like mineral. They form on the ceiling of a cave. They drip to the floor of the cave. It is there the minerals in the water harden to form stalagmites. A stalagmite is a more rounded mineral deposit. It forms on the floor of a cave. Both types of formations grow in size as water keeps dripping and more minerals are deposited.

Pushkin is usually credited with developing Russian literature. Not only is he seen as having originated the highly nuanced level of language which characterizes Russian literature after him, but he is also credited with substantially augmenting the Russian lexicon. Where he found gaps in the Russian vocabulary, he devised calques. His rich vocabulary and highly sensitive style are the foundation for modern Russian literature. His accomplishments set new records for development of the Russian language and culture. He became the father of Russian literature in the 19th century, marking the highest achievements of 18th century and the beginning of literary process of the 19th century. Alexander Pushkin introduced Russia to all the European literary genres as well as a great number of West European writers. He brought natural speech and foreign influences to create modern poetic Russian. Though his life was brief, he left examples of nearly every literary genre of his day: lyric poetry, narrative poetry, the novel, the short story, the drama, the critical essay, and even the personal letter. Pushkin's work as a journalist marked the birth of Russian magazine culture which included him devising and contributing heavily to one of the most influential literary magazines of the 19th century, the Sovremennik (The Contemporary, or Sovremennik). Pushkin inspired the folk tales and genre pieces of other authors: Leskov, Esenin, and Gorky. His use of Russian language formed the basis of the style of novelists Ivan Turgenev, Ivan Goncharov, and Leo Tolstoy, as well as that of subsequent lyric poets such as Mikhail Lermontov. Pushkin was analyzed by Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, his successor and pupil, and the great Russian critic Vissarion Grigoryevich Belinsky who has also produced the fullest and deepest critical study of Pushkin's work, which still retains much of its relevance.

Feel the top of your desk. Does it look and feel smooth? Yes, it feels and looks smooth, but is it really? Even when surfaces look smooth to the unaided eye, they may not be. Scientists use a microscope to look at things more closely. Through a microscope, smooth surfaces may appear rough or bumpy. Look at the metal surfaces in Figure 1.8. The metal foil is so smooth that it is shiny. However, when highly magnified, it is clearly not smooth. It actually looks to be very bumpy. All those bumps grab the bumps of other surfaces.

We chose to hold our American colonies by a law that was at least convenient for its framers.  The maxim was, that whoever possessed the coast had a right to all the territory in hand as far as the Pacific; so that the British charters only laid down the limits of the colonies from north to south, leaving them quite free from east to west.  The French, meanwhile, had their colonies to the north and south, and aimed at connecting them by the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence, and the great intermediate lakes and waters lying to the westward of the British possessions.  In the year 1748, though peace was signed between the two European kingdoms, the colonial question remained unsettled, to be opened again when either party should be strong enough to urge it.  In the year 1753 it came to an issue on the Ohio River where the British and French settlers met.  A company called the Ohio Company, having grants from the Virginia government of lands along that river, found themselves invaded in their settlement's by French military detachments, who roughly ejected the Britons from their holdings.  These latter applied for protection to Mr. Dinwiddie, lieutenant governor of Virginia, who determined upon sending an ambassador to the French commanding officer on the Ohio demanding that the French should desist from their inroads upon the territories of his Majesty King George.
