I ask because I'm currently majoring in Criminal Justice in college and I realized that it is NOT what I want to do with my life. I want to be a S&C coach and possibly open up my own gym later in life. However, the closest major I found in my University is this:
Does that sound like the type of degree that would aid me in becoming a S&C coach?
I know ZARFIT and some others have experience in the field. Try asking them.
Bench: 350
Squat: 475
Dead: 500
"All people dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous ones, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
Internships and work study type arrangements play a big role in that field as well. Not just the degree. I hope Matt Rhodes chimes in as he works for a University doing that now.
Best Lifts unequipped
Best lifts Equipped
Thankfully Representing AtLarge Nutrition and EliteFTS
Hopefully it is along the lines of aiding me become a S&C coach because I've already transferred once and I don't want to transfer again, but I DESPERATELY want to change my major. I know it will add two more years to my college expenses, but I don't know where I'd go to learn to become a S&C coach other than college.
If I could become a S&C coach without going to college, that'd be GREAT, since I think college is a waste of time and money, but I wouldn't even know where to get an internship, and colleges usually have connections for that type of stuff.

I'm a senior going after an exercise science degree. Based off of my experiance unless you were dead set on working at the collegiate level I wouldn't bother. If I had it to do all over again I would major in human biology, but I am not changing my major when I have so much put into it already. Human biology would give you a much greater understanding of the human body and how it works and responds to different factors. Sure you won't learn about periodization and program basics, but I would bet you wouldn't learn about that with that degree you linked anyways.
The biggest benefit I have gotten out of my education in terms of my own training is my human anatomy and phsyiology classes. I have not modified anything in my own training as a result of what I have learned.
Well, that is the only related major my University offers. It's either that, stay with my current major and waste a bunch of money doing something I don't want to do, or drop-out. I would just drop-out, as I feel college as a whole is a waste of money, but I can't seem to find a job, and without a job, my mother would just kick me out. I've applied to MANY places, MINIMUM WAGE jobs, ALL OF THEM, and still not ONE response from any.
If I could just land even a minimum wage job where I could pay for gas and car insurance, it would be a no-brainer, I'd drop-out immediately.
Further, while I'd accept ANY job at this point, I really want to get a job doing something I enjoy, like working at GNC or in a gym or something. But like I said, while I have experience lifting and using supplements and dieting, I don't actually know the science behind it, and I want to, but I think the only way to learn about that stuff is in college (I could search online, but I don't know what to search for).
Transfer. That degree isn't really going to help you much.
I dropped my exercise science degree in my sophomore year and picked up psychology instead. Best decision I could have made. The psychology stuff really helped me learn how to communicate with the plethora of personalities you come in contact with in athletics.
I have no interest in working for a college so I didn't worry about all the certifications that went along with that.
After I dropped my exercise science, I began working closely with Louie Simmons and that's where I learned everything that I now use with athletes.
If you're going to spend the money on a degree, get one that is worth the time. Only other one I'd have considered was athletic training because of all the rehab and therapy stuff I do on highschool athletes but that stuff can be picked up pretty easily as well.

Colleges around me don't have exercise science degrees either. I've thought about AT, but what I REALLY want to do is be a strength and conditioning coach. I'd honestly rather do it WITHOUT wasting money on college, as I believe college is just a bullshit marketing scheme used to entrap people in debt, however, I wouldn't know where/how to learn the knowledge needed to be a S&C coach, and I wouldn't know how to get a job without having a degree.
But, I DO know that you can become NSCA certified by taking an online exam. Is it really that easy? If I gain the knowledge, and pass the exam, is that all I really need to do? I just want to do something I love and not be some mindless drone or robot.
I don't want to be part of the industrial complex that conforms to society's standards. I want to do what I WANT TO DO!
The NSCA CSCS exam is an easy one, and most other types of coaching certifications (including USAT, USATF, etc.) are even easier.
I would still get a degree in SOMETHING, ANYTHING, to have a backup. Even something tangentially related (if you can find anything in the sciences, it'll certainly help you read and interpret a lot of the "science" in the field you'll be exposed to) would be of assistance, but for many folks who might be hiring, showing a college degree is sort of a bare minimum.
I never wanted to work at the collegiate level either, so I opened my own company. Working out pretty well so far. I would say if you REALLY want to take it to the next level, get your college degree, start coaching, then think about a master's.

But, the thing is, my family is not rich. In fact, we BARELY survive BECAUSE we have to pay my tuition. It is too expensive, and we're constantly having to take out loans that I DON'T want to take, because I realize that I will basically have to pay back TWICE as much as I borrow, and I do not want be in debt for 10-15 years.
It is not as bad now, but the college I went to my freshman year was 40k/year, so I already have MASSIVE student loans!
I feel as though I'm doing a disservice to myself by continuing going to college, as I am ultimately just wasting time and money that I will never get back, but realistically, like you said, you need a college degree in this economy.
However, college is just something I do not want to do for any reasons outlined in the thread. However, if I don't go and can't find a job quick enough, I'll be kicked out.
EDIT: Only good thing about college is obviously meeting new people and making friends (and girlfriends). That's honestly the only thing besides being kicked out that I'd worry about. College is THE best place to make friends and connections, and that is probably the only reasons I haven't dropped out yet.

I'm sick of people thinking that you MUST go to school, like you're stupid if you don't. I know MANY very intelligent people that never even stepped foot on a college campus. Now, I'll probably finish it off and get my Associate's, as I'm already 3 semesters in, but I don't feel it is NEEDED to get it.
I dunno, I just don't buy into that whole BS that you HAVE to go to college or you'll be some bum. I've gained MUCH more knowledge on my own than I ever have in school. Knowledge that is more applicable to real life and concepts that I am actually interested in.
Anyways, that wasn't my question, whether college is a waste of time or not. I KNOW it is for me.
You're right, what do we know. It's not like we work in the field you want to be in and realize the value of our degrees.

EDIT: @Alex The thing is, at my college, there IS no program that would be applicable to my field. A college degree would just be a little piece of paper that said "yup, he slept in class less than some kids and he showed up for 4 years". The only motivation I have to get a college degree is that I need one to become NSCA-CSCS certified, I enjoy the friends I've made and don't want to miss out on making more, and I play college football. Outside of that, I'm wasting my money, as I've learned ten times the amount of knowledge on my own than I ever have in college.

We're not focusing on whether you like college or not. We're focusing on the fact that these guys give you advice, they are in the field you want to be in, and you have an excuse every time not being able to do what they're telling you. So what exactly are you looking for? Validation that it's awesome to go and quit school? No problem. Go quit. It's awesome. It's not for you. Quit and venture out on your own. Have a blast. But if you want to do what you're saying you want to do, these guys are telling you that you can't quit. So now it's up to you. Figure it out on your own.

If you have already been in college for a couple of years is there any way that you could transfer those credits towards an associates degree? Even something general like Business Administration would be beneficial in the long run and give you a head start if you decided to re-pursue the bachelors down the road.
Certifications will be helpful if you want to get into personal training and/or eventually becoming a strength coach - I would look into the CSCS and also possibly just pick up a basic PT cert like the ACE.
What have you been doing to apply for jobs? If you are sending online applications or simply posted up on a job board you likely will not have great results. It could be beneficial to look at your personal network (Facebook, etc.) to try to find someone who can help you, get a good resume put together, and reach out to some staffing companies to see if maybe you can land a temporary position to gain some experience. It is typically a lot easier to find a job when you are already employed and have some sort of specific skill set, or at least some competitive knowledge that might make you valuable to another company.
I have worked in staffing for 8 years and would be happy to help with your resume (for free) if you would like. Just send me a PM on here.

I wish it was easy and I could just find a job at like GNC or something :/
I have a degree in History and Pshycology, so it doesn't matter all that much. What helped me is my experience as a collegiate and professional athlete, coupled with my lifting career.
I will say this, a degree in Exercise Science, Exercise Physiology, Kinesiology etc... is much better than what I have. Again, my experience as an athlete and coach helps me out a ton.
I'm not trying to dissuade you, but here's reality. In my office there are 5 strength coaches. We're 38, 37, 31, 27 and 23 (GA) years old. This is what it's like all across the country. there aren't many people retiring in the next few years, so jobs are a bitch to come by.
The other thing that helps me a ton is my stature. It looks like I lift weights. I'm big and I'm stronger than every one of the athletes here. You don't have to be the strongest at all, but it certainly helps to be big and in shape. You'd be amazed at how many 150lbs kids come through here thinking they want to be strength coaches who have never played sports before, or at the very least, it was high school sports. They don't "really" lift. Just because you train and have read books doesn't mean you know your stuff. There's a whole aspect of commanding a room and understanding how to program for real life, not what the book says. For the record, "The Book" doesn't know shit. So, a lot of real world common sense is necessary. On top of that, understanding how to deal with different athletes, teams, coaches, etc... Programming and training is probably about 20% of what you actually do as a strength coach.
Sorry about the rant. but, that's the truth behind it. It's a very tough field to get into. Jobs that open up are almost always filled before they've even been posted. Conor had his job "open up" and actually had to interview people for his job that he had already gotten 6 months earlier. Basically, there was an interview process for absolutely no reason. but, that's how it works.
Very tough field to get into. It's all about who you know in the field. Knowing college football coaches helps, too. Good luck and stay after it if it's really something you want to do.
Why don't you contact some collegiate and pro teams and ask what they look for when considering someone for the position?

Being a certified dietician is another route into the collegiate scene. NCAA regs have limited how many people can be on an S&C staff, I believe it is for football only. They can work around it by hiring dieticians and have them doing the S&C job. Get a dietetics degree and whatever certification/licensing that goes with it, CSCS cert and ideally experiance as a S&C coach and you have an advantage over a lot of others.
^I don't really have a great choice for degrees. I can't get a degree in that or exercise science.
Falcon can't do anything. He only comes here to vent and all your attempts at advice will be rebutted. You can try, but the guy has an answer for anything. One of those people you don't ever let in your life because they are a complete downer every time you talk to them.

It's so hard to coordinate classes that are required with your major with classes that fill other academic requirements (e.g. math). It's even worst because fun classes almost always interfere with mandatory classes and so the semester can either be awesome or hell. As for the professors, work load and curriculum, that is all up to the people upstairs.
Workload feels like you're carrying the world on your shoulders. Professors are nice.
Local Atmosphere:
There are many food joints near by and there is an art museum right down the street. Also, the grocery store in just down the street as well so buying food is convenient.
The first time was stressful and I had no idea about the kind of tax form and there were many questions where I had to look up the meaning of. I didn't know a lot about my mom's tax so it was difficult. After that, I was given an option to transfer most of the answers from last year to this year and all I had to do was put in the income.
Health & Safety:
My school has the best campus security and I couldn't ask for any better. The officers are always patrolling and there are cameras everywhere. After 11pm, all gates are locked and the only way in and out is through the campus security room. I have never heard of any assaults on my campus and feel extremely safe no matter what time it is.
Simmons College is a private woman's college and has less that 2,000 students. Therefore, class sizes are smaller and more intimate, making for a better learning environment.
The Master's of Nursing program I am in is small. We have access to amazing clinical sites at some of the best hospitals in the city and country.
Local Atmosphere:
We're located right in the middle of the city and near the finest hospitals. We are surrounded by other colleges, so there's always something cool happening somewhere.
Greek Life:
Simmons College does not have sororities, so I can't write a review.
Campus Strictness:
Simmons College is a very progressive place. However, we are still expected to follow the rules.
Off-Campus Dining:
A short trip on the T will take you to an endless variety of dining options! Campus and off-campus has some variety as well.
Campus Housing:
I do not live on campus.
Simmons College has a nice small, compact campus. Therefore, it's easy to get around.
We're only a couple blocks away from one of Boston's best bar streets, Boylston Street!
For undergrad I did not receive financial aid, however for graduate school I am desperate need since I want to become a social worker I am afraid to take out many student loans. Hopefully I will be able to say "It went smoothly and I received the financial aid I needed"
The undergraduate campus I went to was gorgeous - everything was perfect.
Auburn is the best campus in the US. There is so much tradition, not to mention gorgeous buildings and a huge football stadium.
Health & Safety:
As an undergraduate I felt safe on campus and I know there were counseling centers if any problem arose along with student organizations fighting for a safer and better camps
Off-Campus Housing:
I had a good undergraduate experience with off campus housing. It was expensive but it was worth it since I didn't have a car and wanted the freedom of off campus with the closeness of class.
Unfortunately, I am not as well versed in the bar/club scene or underage activities. The area around the Landmark Center does offer several choices for nightlife: Jillian's/Lucky Strikes, the Baseball Tavern, the Yard House, the Publick House and Church (on Kilmarnock St.) are a few places that I know the older students frequent. Best chance for transport include walking or bus.
Health & Safety:
I love our public safety team. Though there has been a high turn-over rate, the officers make themselves visible in daily rounds on both campuses. Response to emergency and non-emergency calls are handled quickly and effectively. They have responded to at leas two emergency calls regarding students having seizures and they have responded in less than 5 minutes. The chief officer sends out campus wide notifications (through e-mail and text) regarding any robberies, unsafe situations (between strangers and students) and security measures set in place for Red Sox games or other instances (such as last year's bombing).
As a student not directly involved with athletics I cannot provide an adequate review of our sports and athletic facilities.In personal experience, non-athletes do not hear much about campus sports unless they actively seek information on the topic. I will offer for the non-sports inclined that the Holmes Center does offer free classes (yoga, Zumba and sometimes Bollywood dancing).
Campus Housing:
In the typical undergraduate fashion, the lottery system generally improves as one rises in status. First years are usually placed in Simmons, Mesick and Dix halls with seniors aiming for Evans, Smith or Arnold. depending on the dorm, students may have their own bathrooms and/or common rooms within the upperclass student housing.Graduate students applying after Fall 2013 are not guaranteed on-campus housing, and those who do have the choice can choose between South and North halls, located on either side of Bartol dining hall. These dome are older and have not been recently renovated (no elevators and limited handicap accessibility), but they do provide a general separation between graduate and undergraduate students. Housing selection times change per year. Undergraduate housing can take at least 2 hours at earliest recollection, as it caters to at least 300 students. At graduate housing selection this year there were 15 of us and the process lasted less than a half hour. In both cases, students must choose a list of rooms they desire (first picks usually don't work out for undergrads) and when called tell the proctor. H/Sh/Ze then calls out the hall and number and trays out the area. The student(s) is/are then moved to a side table for confirmation and to the back of the room to check out.
Local Atmosphere:
As a bor and bread Bostonian, it's hard not to say everything I love about the city. Simmons is separated enough that it has a small school feel within the big city. We are located within walking distance of Fenway Park, and the MFA and T-Rides away from the Boston Public Library (main branch at Copley), the Aquarium in addition to the Museum of Science. Newbury Street is extremely popular with college students, locals and tourists alike. Harvard Square and Cambridge are also high points of exploration. Boston thrives when school is in session, but appreciates the quieter summer months as well.
Off-Campus Dining:
Near the Landmark Center, Shaws and the Longwood area offer various options for off campus dining. Most popular spots include Panera Bread or Chipotle, which deliver to the dorms or academic campus. Coupon books and FenwayCard discounts are advertised through e-mail or in the dorms. Other options include : Boloco, Basho (more expensive), D'Angelos, Bertuccis, the Longwood cafeteria. I suggest exploring the area on one's own and discovering personal preferences. Take out includes: Dominos, Chinese, Thai and sometimes Indian cuisines.

Sorry, there are no reviews.

It is the mix of extracurriculars, academics, environment, and nurturing that leads Simmons women to enjoy their experience. The surprising amount of transfers into the College supports the claims of students. Students who have survived their first year, with all its ups and downs and acclimations, seem to be happy with their decision. Dix Scholars, the older undergraduates on campus, are welcomed just as much as students coming into school at the traditional age. Community is valued, and the support benefits all undergraduates. Close-knit relationships with faculty and instructors catapult students into their professions and evoke tears when it comes time to graduate and say good-bye.
Being in Boston provides professional opportunities for its students when it comes to picking internships and finding jobs after graduation. The urban environment fills a social gap that the absence of Greek life or men on campus could create. The winters pose a challenge to out-of-state students not used to the area's rough and extremely cold Nor'easters. The weather is not the only environmental challenge. Though the all-women's environment often takes getting used to, students are generally happy about their decision and excited by the chances of involvement and leadership that not being in a coeducational situation provides. Students at neighboring institutions often share horror stories about being just a number in their school's eyes—this can't be said about Simmons. This is not your typical college experience. Students come here to study and experiment with their identity, growing socially and academically. Simmons students don't just come to school to party, but to become women.

Swimmers Rewrite Masters World Record List in Florida, California
October 18, 2011
ORLANDO, Florida/WALNUT CREEK, California, October 18. MASTERS world records were set on both coasts of the United States last weekend at the Rowdy Gaines Masters Classic in Orlando, Fla., and the Pacific Masters Championships in Walnut Creek, Calif. Both meets were held in short course meters format. For full SwimmingWorld.TV coverage of the Rowdy Gaines Masters Classic, visit the
Event Landing Page
Steve Wood set two world records in the 50-54 age group at the Rowdy Gaines Masters Classic, resetting the marks in the 50 back (27.78) and 100 back (59.92). The former records were held by Jamie Fowler, and were 28.37 in the 50 and 1:00.38 in the 100. Tom Barton also set a world record in the 100 backstroke, with his coming in the 55-59 age group. Barton's time of 1:03.29 broke the existing mark of 1:03.75 set by Philipp Djang.
Gaines set an individual world record while running the meet that bears his name. While leading off the world record-setting men's 800 free relay for Team Blu Frog, Gaines swam a 1:54.61 to break Bob Bugg's record of 1:56.75 in the 50-54 age group.

In addition to Wood's and Gaines' world records, 10 relay world records were set in Orlando:
Men 200-239 800 freestyle relay: Team Blu Frog (Rowdy Gaines, Charlie Lydecker, Tim Buckley, Keith Switzer), 8:03.40 (old record: 8:16.30)
Men 280-319 800 freestyle relay: Gold Coast Masters (Jose Ferraz, Cav Cavanaugh, Howard Rolston, David Quiggin), 10:28.15 (old record: 11:31.11)

Women 240-279 200 medley relay: Gold Coast Masters (Maureen Hughes, Danielle Ogier, Pat Sargeant, Jeannie Mitchell), 2:29.05 (old record: 2:29.87)
Women 160-199 400 medley relay: Team Blu Frog (Cathy Shonkwiler, Tracey McFarlane, Brooke Bennett, Eney Jones), 4:46.62 (old record: 5:01.25)
Men 200-239 400 medley relay: Team Blu Frog (Steve Wood, Mike Unger, Marc Middleton, Rowdy Gaines), 4:09.29 (old record: 4:11.46)
Mixed 200-239 400 freestyle relay: Team Blu Frog (Charlie Lydecker, Eney Jones, cathy Shonkwiler, Rowdy Gaines), 3:57.16 (old record: 4;05.67)
Men 200-239 400 freestyle relay: Team Blu Frog (Charlie Lydecker, Ross Bohlken, Keith Switzer, Rowdy Gaines), 3:40.26 (old record: 3:47.01) (

Over in California, Laura Val was responsible for five new world records in the 60-64 age group:
100 back, 1:15.51 (old record: 1:20.02)
200 IM, 2:44.01 (old record: 2:55.72)
100 fly, 1:12.67 (old record: 1:16.41)
100 IM, 1:16.66 (old record: 1:19.09)
400 free, 4:55.54 (old record: 5:22.47)
Tim Broderick of Stanford Masters also got in on the individual world record-breaking action, setting a new mark in the men's 200 IM for the 60-64 age group with a time of 2:28.47, erasing the 2:30.38 set by John Calvert.
Following is a list of relay world records set at the Pacific Masters championships:
Mixed 120-159 800 Freestyle Relay, 8:28.22 by Walnut Creek Masters (Santos, Zamanian, Beaudreau, Nonaka) (old record: 8:38.70)
Women 200-239 400 Freestyle Relay, 4:33.91 by Walnut Creek Masters (Osborn, Murphy, O'Brien, Curran) (old record: 4:36.08)
Notably, many Olympians made their Masters swimming debuts at both meets. Natalie Coughlin swam at the Pacific Masters meet, and elected to swim exhibition in order to keep her times from being counted as Masters world records. Swimming World has learned that she swam the 100 back (1:01), 100 free (57) and 200 IM (2:15). Anthony Ervin, the co-champion in the 50 free at the 2000 Olympics, swam a 22.39 in the 50 free, nearly breaking the world record in the event in the 30-34 age group, which is 22.13 by Thomas Rupprath.
At the Rowdy Gaines meet, such Olympians as Brooke Bennett and Tracey McFarlane were making their Masters swimming debuts, and set relay world records in their return to competition. Martin Zubero was a world record-setter in the backstroke and IM events in his 30s, and is now returning to Masters as a 42-year-old, helping team Blu Frog to a relay world record.

The Tribune-Star
Just so you know, now settled firmly into middle age, I think of "kids" as anyone in their 30s and younger. I also accept that many of my elders view me as an upstart whippersnapper, though snapping even my fingers nowadays can be a chore.
There are some things you should know about us moms. While every individual is unique in and of herself, moms share some intrinsic qualities. Here's just a few of the endearing — and not so attractive — traits that come to mind.
We are:
• Earnest — we always mean well, even if the results of our efforts are dubious.
• Fallible — no pedestal, please. We don't belong there. Our humanness too often will be laid bare for all to see.
• Candid — our "wisdom" comes out of our mouths so quickly sometimes it leaves us wondering, "Who said that?"
• Heavy-lifters — though usually more diminutive than our parental counterparts, we've carried, tugged, toted, pulled and pushed you into adulthood — and we'd move heaven and earth for you.
• Tender — we cry. We cry when we're sad. Doubly so when we're happy. Harder still in our frustration over not being the keepers of time. We would, you know, if given the chance, turn back the clock.
• Spoilers — let us. It's OK if we buy you a new coffee pot so we can have your old one. If we still lay out all the kids' Christmas presents to make sure they're equal. If we insist that you take home leftovers — for the week. We feel good about it, so please, tolerate our indulgences.
• Insecure — we re-think it all, replay moments when we fell short, would do it differently if only we could, wish we would have handled it better, know now that, in some way large or small — we failed you.
• Annoying — always trying to "help," even when not asked to do so, even when we ought not. We know better. We don't mean to interfere. We understand, on some level, there should be limits to our involvement in your lives. It's in our dogged DNA, though. We helped you learn to walk, do math (not geometry), throw a ball, blow bubbles, tie shoes … and, besides, your time will come to help us.
• Blessed — on this Mother's Day 2013, and every day, to have you in our lives. Love you always!

High schools need level playing field
I applaud Mr. Gaskins' article of Nov. 27. His remarks of the joke that is the IHSAA football finals is right on the money.
However, unlike Mr. Gaskins, I did attend the finals in Indianapolis this past weekend, as well as the 2011 finals.
One only has to look at the teams who have played in the past. One only has to look at the schedules and player rosters. If you happened to look at the IHSAA finals program, you would know what I mean. These teams are either in the finals or have won the finals.
The kids I saw playing in 2011 and 2012 seemed to be bigger and faster and, dare I say, more talented. They played better than IU and Purdue.
Private and parochial schools absolutely have a wider geographic area to draw from. Anyone who would tell you otherwise is in some serious denial.
In California, where I am from originally, we played against private and parochial high schools. Bishop Amat High School in Southern California comes to mind as one of the perennial powerhouses. And it has been that way for as long as I can remember.
If I wanted my kid to play college ball and assuming he had talent, his best chance would be to play for a private or parochial school.
Athletic scholarships? You bet! I guarantee a lot of these athletes are on some kind of "athletic scholarship," whether or not it is called such.
Mr. Gaskins closes his comments with the following: "If parochial schools swept all five titles in 2013, maybe we'd get the change we needed – separate classes for private schools." DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH! We are not the only state with this problem.
It is not even a matter of sour grapes. How about working with a level playing field?
Good job, Mr. Gaskins.
Dave Watanabe, Kokomo
What to expect, more or less, in 2nd term
Our presidential election is now history, and America has made its choice known. Barack Obama has been chosen to lead this country for another four years.
I realize I am not telling you anything you do not already know, but here are just a few of the things we are sure to see in the years ahead.
More taxes required from all. Less money for our families. More tolerance demanded for unethical behavior. Less tolerance for those with opposing views. More regulations on businesses. Fewer job opportunities for you and me.
More wedges being driven between different groups of Americans. Less love for our fellow man. More regulations on firearms and ammunition. Less freedom for all.
More tolerance demanded from Christians. Less tolerance given to Christians. More foreign languages being spoken. Less English being spoken. More liberal Supreme Court justices appointed. Less respect for the U.S. Constitution.
More baby girls and boys being aborted. Less respect for life. More persecution of Israel. Less support by the U.S. for Israel. More resentment of those with money. Less respect for success.
More division in our nation. Less united in the United States of America. More regulations on the oil, natural gas and coal industries. Less affordable energy sources for our homes and automobiles. More First Amendment rights for liberal views. Fewer First Amendment rights for conservative views.
President Barack Obama did not even attempt to run as a more conservative candidate as most Democratic candidates feel is necessary to get elected. He did not even attempt to disguise his true agenda until after the election. President Obama promised us more of the same if his re-election campaign was successful, and that is exactly what we are going to get, and more.
The things listed above are exactly what 51 percent of Americans voted for and therefore apparently support. Just remember, elections have consequences.

The Sufi-Rumi Connection
Kabir Helminski, a sheikh of the Mevlevi order, talks about Rumi, Sufism, and their roots in Islam.
BY: Rhonda Roumani
Kabir Helminski is a sheikh of the Mevlevi Order, which traces its lineage back to Rumi. He is the translator of many books on Rumi, as well as several collections of Sufi writings. Helminski has toured the world, bringing the music of Sufism and the art of the whirling dervishes of Turkey to people everywhere. He is the author of two books on Sufism: "Living Presence" and "The Knowing Heart," and is the translator of Rumi's poetry collections, including "Jewels of Remembrance," "Rumi the Path of Love," and others.
Helminski talked with Beliefnet's Islam producer, Rhonda Roumani, about Rumi, Sufism, and their connection to Islam.
What is it about Rumi's poetry that has made him so popular in the United States?
The United States is an openly religious country, unlike Europe, where there is a lot more cynicism toward not only religion but even toward spiritual matters. Americans are a naturally openhearted and spiritual people. Our spiritual history--the Euro-Christian legacy--has been a legacy in which the direction of our humanness and the direction of religion seem to be pointing in opposite directions.
And Rumi brings it back together by showing us that the way to God is through our humanness, through our brokenness. And only God dissolves our shame and helps us to know that we, God's creation, are profoundly loved.
Islam makes every aspect of human life sacred. Whereas there are other kinds of religious understanding which suggest that the way to God is through the denial of our humanness and the overcoming of our humanness. The Islamic way is much more that we have an inherently good nature. We're not born with original sin. Muhammad (PBUH) showed a way to incorporate the highest spiritual attainment into a very human life. And this is frankly a pretty radical and new concept within the Euro-Christian tradition, where people have denied themselves and gone to monasteries and lived with the burden of sin.
Rumi speaks to this sense that we have of our own human limitations, our own human unworthiness, and he convinces us that we are loved by God. Through the embrace of our pain, a spiritual door opensif
we embrace that pain in the remembrance of God.
So, Rumi is the voice of this unconditional love. He is willing to talk about his own pain, for instance--the pain of loving God, the pain of being human. He is honest. He touches our wound. He demonstrates how a human being can be the intimate friend of God.
Rumi was a Sufi. What is Sufism, and how is it connected to Islam?
Sufism is made up of several branches. We have no serious doctrinal differences between these branches, nor is one branch in competition with another.
Sufism comes fromtassawuf,
which means purification of the human heart without which we cannot know God. As the Qur'an says, "Indeed in the remembrance of God hearts find peace." The end of the training process of Sufism is the spiritually mature human being.
But we should understand that in every religious tradition, there are different levels. One level is the common practice of religion that they are typically born into. Within a religious tradition, there is also "the path" or "the way." The word for this in Islam is "tariqa." Tariqa is a conscious choice that a person makes to go beyond belief to "experience." It is different than nominally belonging to a religion. In Islam, there are many tariqas. Someone who walks the path of tariqa is a Sufi.
In Islam, there is the level of Shari'ah, or religious law. The Shari'ah governs our outer actions and behaviors. Sufism has more to do with the inner understanding of those outer practices and the quality of consciousness that we bring to those practices through the development of our inner spiritual capacity, particularly through consciousness and love. This development of one's spiritual capacity is much more possible through a relationship with someone who has made this spiritual journey and can help to guide us and help us avoid the pitfalls of the journey. This person is called a "sheikh," a "guide," a "teacher," or sometimes just a "spiritual friend."

ONEONTA — Colin Volpe gave Massachusetts Institute of Technology the hook Saturday.
Volpe scored the final goal of Oneonta State's 4-2 first-round NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Tournament victory in the 76th minute, connecting on a header from Ian Tenzer to steal the momentum from the Engineers.
"That wasn't technically the game-winner, of course, but it was the game-winner in my mind," said O-State coach Iain Byrne, whose team allowed back-to-back goals in a five-minute span after taking a 3-0 lead into halftime. "Colin was the first to it, and it hooked in for the winner."
MIT (13-5-2) pulled to 3-2 with goals by Sean Bingham at 61:37 and John Kramer at 66:13, scoring on two of its nine second-half shots against O-State goalie Daniel DeBottis (three saves).
"I think if they had scored next and made it 3-3, I don't know how the game would have ended," said Byrne, whose Red Dragons struck back on a play that started with a corner kick from Addison Straub. "Instead, we were able to put them away."
It seemed as if two-time defending SUNY Athletic Conference champion O-State, which reached the NCAA final four last season, already had done that with a three-goal cushion after 45 minutes.
Mitchell Cain made it 1-0 a little more than 13 minutes in, sending in a throughball from Justin Rivera off the left post. Eric Fortier headed in a cross from Sean Vinberg five minutes later for a 2-0 lead, and Alex Shkreli turned a cross from Daniel Josepher into a 6-yard goal about six minutes ahead of halftime.
"It was definitely nerves," said MIT coach Mike Singleton, whose program qualified for the NCAA tournament with its first New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference title. "We're a young team. We only have one senior and I think it took us the first 20-25 minutes to settle in.

Truth Wins Out - My Nightmare Experience at Teen Challenge
"In the face of a militant homosexual movement that is pressing for legal and social acceptance of homosexuality, the church must keep its focus. First, homosexuals are sinners like everyone and need God's grace, love, and forgiveness. Second, homosexuals can through the miracle of the new birth be set free from the power of sin and live changed moral lives. The church must reach out to all sinners with the love of Christ, no matter what the sin. And we must never let the declining moral climate of our nation pressure us into condoning what God condemns. "
If you have a chance, read James story. It is moving and real. I am not a fan of Teen Challenge at all or how NCU handled a lot of the guff going on.

[JURIST] Civil rights groups on Monday opposed stricter screening procedures [TSA press release] for passengers entering the US from 14 countries, calling the measures unconstitutional. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy website] called on [press release] the US government to "adhere to longstanding standards of individualized suspicion and enact security measures that are the least threatening to civil liberties and are proven to be effective." Former FBI agent and national security policy counsel with the ACLU Michael German said:
Singling out travelers from a few specified countries for enhanced screening is essentially a pretext for racial profiling, which is ineffective, unconstitutional and violates American values. Empirical studies of terrorists show there is no terrorist profile, and using a profile that doesn't reflect this reality will only divert resources by having government agents target innocent people. Profiling can also be counterproductive by undermining community support for government counterterrorism efforts and creating an injustice that terrorists can exploit to justify further acts of terrorism.
