There was a time, not too long ago, that the moment we experienced any problem with our vision, we would visit our ophthalmologist to determine the health of our eyes. If he suggested reading glasses, we followed his advice. Today, a new approach to eye care is becoming more popular, i.e., saving our eyesight utilizing natural methods so that we can avoid surgery and eyeglasses and, instead, focus on alternative and holistic approaches to better eye health. One of the most interesting facts that were discovered when researching eye health in this country is this: While studies have shown that less than 3% of children have visual defects at birth, as adults they are part of two-thirds of the population who will be prescribed eyeglasses. This raises an interesting question and one that has been and is part of an on-going debate: Do we really need to wear eyeglasses? Traditional medicine suggests we do, but those who favor a non-traditional and more holistic approach to eye health differ. Their notion is that wearing eyeglasses in effect blinds us to the real problems associated with poor eyesight, and that increased eye strain and the degeneration of eyesight is a direct cause of optical lenses. The Bates Method One of the most well-known ophthalmologists who became fascinated with eye health was a man named William Bates. He began his internship at Columbia hospital, and because he was directly involved in determining what caused eye problems in his patients, he studied the inner-workings of the eye thoroughly. He concluded that the external muscles of the eye determined good eyesight and not, as conventional wisdom suggested, the lens itself. His conclusion, after years of patient study, was that wearing eyeglasses did absolutely nothing to improve conditions under which one is better able to see, but that these lenses created additional stress on the eye muscles. He contended that eyeglasses and contact lenses caused more harm than good and did not improve vision at all. Thus, while eyeglasses are utilized to correct light that is entering the eye, the problem is not the light, but the eye. Bates had a belief system that insisted eye problems composed two main categories: Stress and mental strain. He believed that when one is under stress, the muscle in the eye is greatly affected, and that a calm state of mind can reduce the strain that is caused by the stress. Thus, he utilized a method wherein one can relax the muscle in the eye via exercise and begin to retrain one eye to focus naturally and without strain. His notion is one that makes sense. Everyone has the ability to see things clearly and should do so in a relaxed state of mind. Looking at any object in a relaxed state alleviates any strain caused to the eyes, and it is the natural way in which the eyes are meant to operate. Without the stress of focusing on things we cannot see results in the ability to see. Thus, the Bates Method of Seeing encompassed four main exercises that are used in combination with a relaxed mental state: Palming -- While many ophthalmologists are not well-versed in this method, it is nonetheless important for eye relaxation. Simply sit at a table with the head resting on the hands, ensuring the fingers are set against the forehead. The eyes are then covered wherein no light can penetrate. In addition, the hands do not touch the eyes at all. This state of relaxing the eyes for a few minutes has been quite effective in improving vision. Sunning -- Studies have shown that this method is necessary and valuable to the eyes. Go out on a sunny day, close your eyes and point your head up to the sun. Gently sway back and forth as the suns light bathes the eyes. Swinging -- As you hold your index finger in front of your eyes, rock back and forth. Bates determined that this helps to incorporate both peripheral vision and focus at the same time. Blinking -- This well-known exercise combined with breathing exercise allows for the relaxation and massaging of the eyes while lubricating them at the same time, and brings a balance within. Use these exercises to improve your eyesight today.

I hiked the pictured rocks train in the you-p last year and used this as a model. We had 3 people and since we have big appetites we doubled these volumes. Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy toooo much food for the time specified. Bagels ended up flat and I still cant tolerate hummus after all the lunches. Alpine mac would be awesome minus the mustard. and chili was ok. The best recipie was the Beef Jerky Stroganoff. Other than that this meal plan sucks.
I've done five days on granola for every meal. Just one large package of granola. I don't really care much about food.
Hey, I got a couple good ideas from this whole thing. Bacon bits, and Nutella. Two things I've never carried but both have high caloric density.
Clearly the folks at backpacker have never backpacked before.
Hmmm...I don't know what's more pathetic, the idea of chopping vegetables in trail camp and juggling more than one pot over a single burner stove, or the idiocy and illiteracy of the commentators: "Higher (sic) a Sherpa" ??? Most Sherpas are already higher than most of us will ever get...ha ha.
Eat what you like, pack what you'll eat, and pack out what you don't eat. It's all good...
I say: get jalapeno squeeze cheese and plenty of saltines!
I like the sudjestions, im sure i can find four meals (for my four day trip) out of the ingrediants listed... hurray bagies!
whoa! Everyone settle down. Everybody has there own ways of doing things -- these are just suggestions. If no body shared their ideas the world would be a very boring place. Lets try being nice -- why don't all of the complainers post their ideas! I'm sure they are good too!
I like the menu but whats to eat for day 2 ?
This is for a week? How many people are going? Last June three of us hiked a seventy mile section of the PCT. This list seems a little heavy for a week. As far as cheese goes it will last a loong time. mozzarella will last at least nine days in a pack. That's one reason it was invented ,to preserve milk. Remember refrigeration hasn't been around that long. As for this years long trip think I'll stick with instant potatoes, ramen , cheese, peanut butter. But don't forget your chocolate pudding , bagels and salami. This year were adding butter 200 cal/oz can't beat that kind of caloric density, most thing are between 100 cal/oz to about 120 cal/ oz.
I just glanced the shopping list and read the comments. I Thru-hiked the AT in '07 and I can tell you things like cheese keep a lot longer than you think, the harder the cheese the longer it lasts. During the cooler months I even carried butter MMMM... Butter. If something is starting to go just eat it. I also think this menu implies you are not alone so multiple pots may not be that big of a deal. Of course you could always just eat ramen noodles, tuna, and nutella but where is the variety in that.
I think I'll stick with packing lightly for myself and hoping one of my buddies dies on the trail - protein.
see shopping list,where's menu?
My biggest complaint about this menu is that there is no way .. and I mean NO way .. I am going to have a pot on me that will hold 6-7 cups of water. It's just not going to happen.
That said, looking at this menu by the individual meals there is alot of great ideas here. And the comments were SO worth reading.
we always pack mushrooms first too!
First time I've been on this site, thought I'd get a few new ideas for simple, easy trail grub. I had to stop scroling down this gem of a shopping list when I got to the 40 corn chips. The comments have me rolling, made wasting time looking at this list worth it.
Dr Ted says: You can pack all of what's listed inside your wood-burning stove! And if it needs refridgerated, just pack those items inside your fridge!!! Easy!
Or, just pack some dry bannock, crackers, almonds, tuna cans... maybe spoil yourself with an MRE or two... what the hell do you need all this other stuff for??? This mindset is why we have an obesity epidemic!!!! IT'S CALLED ROUGHING IT!!!!

Many of the recipes called for seperate pots. I only ever pack one pot when going for a week.

|I'm thinking about buying a KitchenAid range, and the prior thread on problems with the self-cleaning feature concerns me. I'd post this question there, but the thread appears to be closed for replies because of its length.
For those of you with problems, are they occurring on both the electric and gas models?
Also, those of you with problems might be interested in reading about a lawsuit filed last month against KitchenAid on behalf of "all individuals who purchased, on or after June 3, 2008, at retail price and for personal use, a KitchenAid brand self-cleaning oven in the state of New York." You can read the notice here: http://www.gslawny.com/lawyer-attorney-1755873.html
The previous post about problems with the KitchenAid ovens is here. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/appl/msg091303016942.html?159
Follow-Up Postings:
|With all of that associated with a product / company -
It's not like that model or KA are cheaper, better, faster, or have some gee wiz feature that something else in the marketplace doesn't have!
If you want - buy it, and assume the risk. It may turn out to be nothing, may not happen to you, or may even be fixed. But what if they are still B S ing you?
I just can't do business with co.'s that flat out lie to their customers. KA STILL says there is/was nothing wrong with those ranges/ovens!
|Here is a copy of my response to a very recent similar post:
I have the KA wall oven similar to those with the fuse problem. I had not heard that there was any problem with the range version. The problem appeared to be insufficent fan cooling near electronics. Some wall ovens have limited clearance. I would think that any range would not be so sealed-in that trapped heat would be a problem.
Mine did not have a problem but I had certainly read every post in the closed thread and was cautious about self cleaning. In fact I waited until last week (when I had an appliance guy coming to check out what turned out to be only my own ignorance) to do a regular full three hour self clean. It worked fine.
Now, on to antss's point etc. KA or Whirlpool certainly did not handle this problem at all well. You may have noted that 3/4ths of the way down that thread, someone found a service bulletin that they would finally replace the fans of certain serial number ranges of those Superba wall ovens. They took a ton of time to do so. My s/n wasn't on the list. When I originally called and asked about the complaints, they were denying that they had ever heard of complaints. On the other hand, they do answer their phones fast and (in other cases) are willing to provide help and useful information generally speaking.
I think that the problem is solved and wouldn't have applied to you anyway. I think that the more important question revolves around supporting a company that treated some of its customers poorly. The question then becomes, are the other providers treating their customers better? I don't recall any threads with such a bad pattern but there are certainly plenty of horror stories out there. I don't read many of them because I don't have the items. Check um out.
|"They took a ton of time to do so. "
And still deny there is a problem !
|Well, in my post, I wasn't saying that they STILL deny a problem,
I was googling around about other oven stuff and came accross a couple of recent posts about continued fuse failures, one on a range, with continued problem denials.
While these numbers are small, considering the history, I guess I will have to stand with antss at this point.
|I have a kitchen aid dual fuel 30" range and it has gone out on me 3 years in a row during the holiday season. The first time was something with the fan it sounded like the space shuttle was going to blast off in my kitchen. The second two times were another issue that was way worse it randomly goes into self cleaning mode while baking and locks the door trapping whatever is inside and pulverizing it. We have to flip the breaker to turn it off and then wait for it too cool down enough to unlock the door. The kitchen was remodeled by the previous owners so we think the oven is circa 2004 or 2005.
All of our other appliances are KA and they are wonderful but I would never buy another oven from them.
|appletini, your problem is more serious than the normal fuse issue (which is bad enough). This appears to be a life/death issue. Whirlpool has a safety department. I don't recall the formal name. I was directed to them while I was trying to resolve flame control on my KA cooktop. Once they feel that safety is not an issue, they will transfer you back to regular departments. But this is right in their target zone. I suppose age might be an issue, but you may have called within the 5 year period the first time, and anyway age is probably irrelevant in this case.
Call whirlpool and get transfered to safety. Or wait, and you or your airs can sue when your house burns down.
|"you or your airs can sue " [sic]
Heirs ?
|Like thousands other people my KitchenAid Superba oven (KEBS177DBL7, serno: XJ3101002) refused to heat up after I used SELF CLEANING feature for the first time since I've bought a house with it. Of course it was the infamous blown thermostat. I contacted the KA customer service providing links to other complains about the same issue and asking just for a new part. They said that even though I am 'a valuable customer' they can't help me since the oven is out of warranty. Fine, I asked to redirect me to a supervisor and finally she called me. I told her, that everybody knows about this problem but KA and that should be a recall. She kept repeating 'your oven is out of warranty and we can't help you'. I said fine, I'll join the army of unhappy customers in the Internet and will just spread the word about how badly KA design their products. She said again that she can't help me. Oh, well, apparently KA doesn't care.
I am going to buy the part off the Amazon ($34) and install it myself, not a big deal, but this is definitely the last product of KitchenAid in my household. I'll never buy anything else from them and will continue to tell everybody about my experience with KA.
|We have a 5 year old KEBC208 double oven that has been successfully self-cleaned a number of times till yesterday. Now nothing works the panel is completely dead. The inside lights do not work and the top oven door was in lockdown. I did use a coathanger to open the top oven door.
I really am uncertain as to whether it is going to require just the thermostat or maybe fuses or maybe even a completely new touch panel. This is really frustrating because it could get very expensive very quickly. I will call Kitchenaid tomorrow, but if they say it is news to them that their ovens have a self-cleaning problem then I will just keep asking to speak to a supervisor till I start getting someone who will tell the truth.
Maybe I will just get a double oven without convection and without self-cleaning. My parents ovens never had those features and I got fat eating my mothers good food.
|I will only add yet another no vote for the KitchenAid ovens. Same story: the self clean worked for a few years and then went out. No help from the Company. Replacing the part was easy but afraid to self clean again. To add to that, my KitchenAid dishwasher also experienced a known problem with one of the tensioners for the door (replaced by me at my cost) and my KitchenAid refrigerator has had water leak issues and a switch issue that ruined all of the food. We will never buy another KitchenAid product again.
|If You oven is completely dead, IE no inside lites, etc etc etc, check the "house circuit breaker/s" for it---even if they don't appear "Tripped", turn it/them off and then back on.

|Wow, I thought I was the only one who had this problem and now I read this thread dating back to 2006. I bought my KitchenAid gas range model#KGSI901PBS00 in Dec 2005. The first time I used the self clean was Dec 2009 after Thanksgiving mess - the fuse blew. It cost me $75 for a new fuse (which is not easy to get to) and $86 for service call (they did not have the part and had to order it. Took over a week with no oven during holiday cookie season). In March of 2010 the touch pad burnt out when water dripped on it. This is an oven so you would think it was made to withstand water?! This would have cost $687 to fix and I somehow convinced KA to pay for the parts so it cost me $370. Now here I was again this year, after Thanksgiving with a dirty oven. I figured, they fixed this problem, go ahead, self clean it! Guess what... blown oven (I assume it's the fuse again). I'm writing a letter to the attorney general and coping the postings from this blog. KA needs to stand behind their products!! I owned a stove before this for 15 years, never had one problem with it, and it was 1/3 the price of this piece of junk!! I gave it away in perfect working condition to get this new KA stainless sleek range. What a mistake that was!! :(

|Definitely this was an old thread and I promised to post on my self-clean ages ago. I have the KA double ovens with steam assist. I FINALLY ran the self clean on them. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. It was so nice to see the pretty blue ovens again. I am married to a professional chef and we are VERY HARD on our ovens. The self clean ran just fine with no problems. (I ran it only 2 weeks ago).
The problems I read about were very old. I mean c'mon 2006? 8? 9? That was years ago.
|I cannot speak about free standing ranges. However, ovens installed in the wall will always be subject to venting issues, depending on the installation and the oven. It is possible that the design on the KA ovens make them more susceptible to heat issues. Even so, I will continue to advocate that no owner of a residential wall oven should be surprised if there are problems after using a self cleaning cycle. The self clean is nothing more than a super heated oven that literally heats the interior to such a high temp that it incinerates whatever is in there. This puts tremendous stress on all of the components and you are only asking for trouble. If you clean the interior manually on a periodic basis you will prolong the life of the appliance.
I equate this to living in a hot climate and putting a refrigerator in the garage. Will it work? Of course it will. Will the compressor fail quicker? Of course it will. Does that mean the frig is a lemon?
Could KA come up with a different design or use different tolerances for what is acceptable venting? Of course, but that is a business decision. Even if there are no real problems I still say that self cleaning cycles are too hard on a residential oven and its components to make it an acceptable process. Self cleaning ovens are a marketing ploy, nothing more, IMHO.
|C+M: Just wait a few self clean cycles.
Just because you have been fortunate doesn't mean anything to those with problems.
The link tells a different story.

|I still have to agree with Tarheel. It just is what it is. You don't actually have to use the self-clean... you can clean the oven yourself.
Someone else, I think it was Ants, asked what this oven does that none of the others do... For me, it's the plumbed "steam assist". I have double ovens, both with steam plumbed to the ovens. I also have convection if I want it.
For a baker, that's a lot of options -- steam, proofing, convection, regular bake - in 2 ovens that are quite large. I didn't find any other ovens out there that did all that.

|Our KitchenAid oven stopped working after we used the self-cleaning feature for the first time last month. When we tried to use the oven to bake again, the oven would not heat up. We purchased our KitchenAid wall oven Model KEBC147VSS00 Serial No. XW5000833 in January of 2009.
A quick online search of "KitchenAid oven self-cleaning problems" results in many consumer complaints about this from owners of KitchenAid ovens. Many of the complaints also tell about KitchenAid ovens that have other serious safety problems such as oven door glass that breaks when using the self-cleaning feature. We feel fortunate that we have not had the glass in our oven door break. However, we are concerned that this could happen after we have the oven repaired. According to our online research, KitchenAid oven owners have had their ovens repaired only to have the problems recur when they use the self-cleaning feature of their oven.
We called KitchenAid customer service concerning the problem with our built-in wall oven. KitchenAid offered to sell us a one year extended warranty on our oven for $300. That would be in addition to the charge we would pay to have the oven repaired this time, which we estimate to be over $200. They did not have an answer to our question: "How has the faulty KitchenAid oven part or parts been improved so as to not malfunction again and cause our oven to be inoperable each time we use the self- cleaning feature?"
We do not want to have a repair done that may not really fix the problem. We called Consumer Reports. They recommended that we call the Consumer Product Safety Commission. We think that this oven should be recalled by KitchenAid.
|I can't say how accurate is my info, but I have heard that there's a replacement blower that generates more airflow. Replacing just the thermal fuse won't fully solve the problem unless the blower is also changed, assuming the updated version is legitimate. If you cite your model number, or search it yourself at SearsPartsDirect.com, perhaps can see if the original blower part number substitutes to an update.
|I have a 2007 KA duel oven and have read all of the threads. I have not had a failure but only used the shorter time self cleans 2 or 3 times. I can confirm dadoes info although I couldn't find the link. I believe it was approximately 2/3 to 3/4 of the way down the 158? long thread, there was a reference to a repair bulletin where specific ovens should have an upgraded fan. Mine wasn't one of them. I looked for my hard copy and couldn't find it. I skimmed the long thread without success. The link was probably not in blue.
As I mentioned in a recent thread and now realize there are 2 other references as well, the bottom piece of trim that is called a vent is poorly designed and decrreases circulation around the back of the oven. We must have accidently not found ours during installation and I only ordered one recently. Therefore my cleanings had better circulation than most.

|I've lost count of the number of complaints I have read about KA self clean function. I was a KA owner with the same problem and could not believe the company could get away with selling a product with such a defect.
I spent months, searching the web and making many phone calls and sending emails to KA - with no satisfaction.
I decided to lodge a claim in the Small Claims Court (Canada). It was cheap $100 (it costs more to fix my stove after using the selfclean cycle) and easy.
I am happy to say the matter was resolved, out of court to my complete satisfaction. The terms of the agreement mean that I must not disclose what the settlement was.
If anyone in Canada needs any help getting started with the small claims process, please email me. I can help with that :)
Talk about David and Goliath - I am sure they are just hoping that we will go away, or clean our ovens by hand.

|Just a follow up on the KitchenAid self clean function which trips the thermal fuse or worse, destroys the entire front control panel.
If your expereince is anything like mine, talking to Kitchen Aid is a frustrating and unsatisfactory experience, that's if you can get to talk to anyone to start with! KA will deny that there is a problem with these ovens (really!!). The only way I could get any response was to file a claim in the small claims court here in Canada.
I have had a number a people contact me who I have been able to help, if you are unsure of filing a claim with the courts please email me and I will help with the process.
|Just came across this thread..
Our KA double oven is from 2006. Used it successfully for 5 years. Would use self clean mode maybe twice per year. In 2011 the oven shut down, locked - etc. The repair ran us $600. New fuse, new blower & labor.
Recently put it on a "short" clean - a 2.5 hour cycle. It shut down - but the bottom oven still works. -- not the top.
#1 - this is dangerous.
I am not going to have the repair and instead plan to purchase a new Bosch double wall oven. While I'm at it, I'll probably replace my KA dishwasher & cooktop....
I don't plan to deal with Whirlpool. Been down that road with our KA microwave (would turn on spontaneously) and it was like banging your head against the wall.
|Has anyone solved this thermal fuse problem other than replacing the oven with another non-Whirlpool oven?
Our oven is a 1998 model and we have had this problem since it was new. We have replaced the fuse 5 times, and successfully cleaned the oven perhaps 2 times.
Thanks for your help.
|Bob, you must really like beating our head against the wall.
There is no solution for a problem that officially doesn't exist.
Why wouldnt you want a new oven?
|I can't say if it's correct but I was told by a service tech that a revision was issued on the cooling fan and motor for the control panel to increase the airflow volume.
|Might as well add my story to the list. I have a Kitchenaid Superba range that was purchased in 2005. I think I used self-clean once, maybe twice, before the oven died. The repairman pulled out a part (mostly wrapped wire, don't remember what it was) that was ROASTED. Haven't used self-clean since.
I have also had the control panel go dark on me twice.
I miss knobs and buttons. And well-made appliances.

|The problem with mine is the fan just shuts off after a 30 min or so of cleaning. Then the thermal fuse blows at some point. Tonight I tried it again and it was going along fine, then fan shuts off 30 min into the cleaning. The glass control panel and surrounding metal get too hot to touch. Then I shut it off before the fuse blew. The fan seems to move enough air, it just can't be shutting off !

Some critics of Gov. Tom Corbett's proposed budget mischaracterize a plan to connect educational funding to liquor privatization as objectionable to some lawmakers, state Education Secretary Ron Tomalis said Thursday.
The 2013-2014 budget proposal unveiled this week provides an extra $338.1 million for education, including $326.5 million for basic education, from existing tax revenues.
An additional $1 billion in grants from the sale of liquor licenses for supermarkets would not be available until the next budget year, provided the Legislature approves the plan, Tomalis said in a meeting with The Tribune-Democrat editorial board.
Grants can be used to upgrade school safety, improve preschool and early learning programs, create more individualized learning opportunities or boost science, technology, English and math learning, Tomalis said.
The grants are not intended to create new programs that would require ongoing funding, he said.
"This is an opportunity to put in science labs and other one-time expenses," Tomalis said. "They can upgrade programs and push them along."
Although Corbett has been criticized for massive cuts in school funding in his first two budgets, Tomalis presented data showing that state funding cuts actually came before Corbett took office. Schools saw an increase because the cuts were more than offset by federal economic stimulus funding.
"State support was cut, and it was backfilled with stimulus money," Tomalis said. "School districts were told: Don't use these stimulus dollars for ongoing operational costs or you are going to see a fiscal cliff (when the stimulus program ends)."
Schools reached that cliff during the last years of former Gov. Ed Rendell's term, leaving the Corbett administration with a $4.6 billion deficit to address, he said. Part of the solution required holding the line on state education funds, which led to less money for schools.
"We made some of the tough decisions we had to make," Tomalis said. "Now the economy is starting to turn around."
The governor is also asking the Legislature to approve shifting teachers to a 401(k) type of retirement plan while preserving pension benefits already earned. The proposal would save $138 million.
Another proposal would allow school districts to apply for waivers from certain mandates when creating initiatives to improve education.
Greater Johnstown Superintendent Gerald Zahorchak pointed out the $326 million increase does not offset cuts over the past two years, adding that those cuts hit Johnstown harder than some smaller schools.
"It costs more for children of low income to educate them," Zahorchak said Thursday.
Zahorchak commended Corbett's increase in support for early learning programs.
"We never have enough to get to all the children who need it, but this is a good start," he said.

McALESTER — A former inmate of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections is suing the State of Oklahoma the Oklahoma Department of Corrections and several Pittsburg County officials after he was allegedly held jail three months past his release date.
According to court records, former inmate James Christopher Payne, convicted of one count of felony stalking in January of 2010, has filed the lawsuit against the State of Oklahoma; the Oklahoma Department of Corrections; Pittsburg County Commissioners, Kevin Smith, Ronnie Young, Gene Rogers and the Pittsburg County Sheriffs Department, Sheriff Joel Kerns and Jail Administrator Missy Eldridge.
Payne is seeking more than $75,000 in compensatory and punitive damages, according to the suit.
PIttsburg Sheriff Joel Kerns said Payne was a still property of the Department of Corrections when he was being held at the jail.
"We just hold the inmates for the Department of Corrections," Kerns said. "I can't release an inmate until the DOC gives us the paper work."
Payne was originally incarcerated in 2010 for one count of felony stalking for posting a picture of a plaster cast of a woman's face with a knife through it on MySpace and stating repeatedly that he is going to kill her. He also allegedly repeatedly stalked the woman between Dec. 8 2009 and Jan. 12, 2010, according to court documents. He was sentenced to five years with all but one year suspended.
Payne filed the lawsuit in September after the State of Oklahoma Department of Corrections denied his Governmental Tort Claim in March, the claim was denied as to county defendants because the didn't respond, according to court records.
In the suit filed in Pittsburg County Court, Payne states he was allegedly incarcerated at the Pittsburg County Jail for three months beyond his release date.
"(Payne) was to be released on June 11, 2011... but was kept in the jail until Sept. 6, 2011," according to the lawsuit, "Mr. Payne was incarcerated wrongfully and unlawfully and deprived of his liberty and freedom for nearly for nearly three months beyond his release date."
Pittsburg County Commissioner Kevin Smith said he knew nothing about the case except that it was referred to the Association of County Commissioners defense attorney Weldon Poe of Colin Zorn & Wagoner in Oklahoma City.
Poe said his firm is representing the county officials and that this was an unusual case.
"This is the first circumstance of someone held past their release date) that I am aware of," Poe said.

GREENCASTLE — For the second consecutive year, the Avon Orioles boys' and girls' cross country teams brought home sectional titles. The Orioles overcame the challenging and undulating course set up at South Putnam High School last night to bring home their championships.
Avon took home the boys' title without one of its best runners (Jordan Mueller) and is finally rounding into shape after overcoming illness and injury bugs. Orioles coach Zach Toothman was proud of his squads' efforts.
"With the way our whole season has gone so far, we are pretty pleased," he said. "We went out incredibly hard and I'll be honest, I panicked quite a bit when I saw it. But it shows their fitness and that is the toughest they have ran over 3K all season."
Avon (48) edged out county champion Brownsburg (59) for first and Plainfield finished third (76). Each of those teams head to regional action for their efforts of finishing in the top five.
Danville (151) finished sixth, missing the cut by 13 points. Cascade (191) took eighth, Tri-West (312) finished 10th and Bethesda Christian (363) placed 12th.
Abiel Mogos brought home the individual title for the Plainfield Quakers in a time of 16:18.04. Mogos, a first-year cross country runner, has had a stellar season and could go far in the state tournament.
"It feels good especially because of my county loss, but I beat the guy who beat me," Mogos said. "Those hills are tough, though. I am going to try and beat 16 (minutes) this weekend on a flat course."
Mogos edged out Cascade's Levi Musson (16:24.74) for the win. Musson was the only county boy moving on to the Ben Davis regional on Saturday not on an advancing team.
Top finishers from each school were Mogos, Musson, Brownsburg's Justin Hays (16:42.65), Avon's Ross Hughes (16.46.48), Danville's Brandon Siller (17:53.25), Tri-West's Chris Wright (19:01.58) and Bethesda's Kale Kight (20:21.75).
Avon won the girls' title by a wider margin than the boys, dominating the nearest competition. The Orioles scored a 33 with Plainfield (75) coming in second and Brownsburg (85) taking third. Danville (160) also advanced to the Ben Davis regional with its fifth place finish.
"I am really, really pleased with four of our girls in the top seven in this sectional," Avon coach Brad Rosebrock said. "We ran really good times and a couple of them ran season bests with Courtney Kerr only a couple of seconds off her personal best."
Tri-West (221) took ninth while Cascade and Bethesda Christian did not complete a team score.
Avon sophomore Malyka Abramson (18:20.86) won by a healthy margin, repeating as sectional champion.
"It has been a lot of hard work and hours put in this year," Abramson said. "It has taken a lot of discipline to get this far."
Plainfield's Samantha Woodford (18:50.85) finished second, shattering the Quakers' school record (19:11) by over 20 seconds. The Plainfield sophomore was thrilled with her effort.
"I got 19:15 two races in a row and finally got it today," Woodford said smiling. "I think this time will stay up (on the record wall) for a while."
Tri-West's Carrie Chappell (20:47.26) finished 14th overall and is the only county girl advancing to the regional not on a team automatically moving on.
Top finishers from each school were Abramson, Woodford, Chappell, Danville's Megan Newcomer (20:05.58), Brownsburg's Julia Popenfoose (20:20.02), Cascade's Megan Frederick (22:58.34), and Bethesda's Hannah Joiner (24:59.81).

"America must change."
The oracle who currently resides in The White House made that comment during the politicized and orchestrated atmosphere that followed the recent slaying of children in Connecticut.
What would he change? The spacious skies? The amber waves of grain? The purple mountains majesty? The undimming human tears? God's grace bestowed? The alabaster cities? The patriot's dreams? The Pilgrims' thoroughfare? The fruited plains?
From sea-to-shining-sea, there is nothing to change. Mr. Obama must soon recognize that the police cannot protect us. He must realize that after-the-fact hand-wringing is wasted hand-wringing.
Some 39,000 people died on America's roads and highways in 2010. There was no call to change America. No one called for the banning of automobiles, even though a significant number of those killed were children.

No. 1: Work and home boundaries
We all have them: the masters of wasting time. You can find them at work and throughout life.
If you're avoiding the coffee pot at 9 a.m. because Chatty Suzie will steal 30 minutes of your life that you'll never get back, become assertive. You do not have to be mean to do this, but get your coffee (you'll need that) and politely tell her you do not have time to talk. Depending upon your personality, this might be a daily occurrence or something that you don't feel comfortable doing.
Try it once. It gets easier.
At home, set boundaries for neighbors and family. You can set the limits with which you are comfortable. You may require visitors to call first or you may be comfortable with drop in guests. Maybe you reserve Sunday afternoon for "family time."
Find a schedule that works for you and breathe easier knowing that you are in control of your time.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Within the first six minutes of Tuesday night's opening round game of the boys' 49th District soccer tournament, North Laurel had already struck for two goals, leaving South Laurel a bit shell shocked.
Those goals would be all the Jaguars needed as they defeated the Cardinals, 3-1, to advance to last night's championship game against Corbin, who downed Whitley County in a shootout, 3-2.
Afterwards, North coach Mark Acampa said scoring those first two goals early turned out to be more important than he figured.
"With the two yellow cards we got scoring those goals early turned out to be very important," Acampa said. "We sat the two guys who got those yellows for precautionary reasons. We didn't want them picking up a second and missing the championship game if we advanced. We didn't want to run that risk." South Laurel also picked up two yellow cards in the half in a very physical game.
"It should have been 1-0," South Laurel coach Amber Hensley said. "We've been like this all season. When we get scored on we start to play."
The first goal came in the 5th minute, when Joshua Carter took a pass from Austin Rader and beat keeper Carl David Weaver for a 1-0 lead. A minute later, it was Hunter Riley scoring for a quick 2-0 advantage.
"Carl told me afterwards that those goals were his fault," Hensley said. "I told him it was like a pinball game out there with the ball bouncing around and off people. We should have cleared the ball away."
In the 18th minute, Levi Seidel made it 3-0 in North's favor. That's the way the first half ended.
"We were hungry for the win," Acampa said. "We played a good regular season but I told them from the beginning that it didn't matter what we did now, it was the district that mattered. Everything else was prep work. To improve and get better."
The second half saw South Laurel (4-11-1) pressing to try and get back in the game, and North Laurel (12-4-0) trying to hold off any thoughts of a Cardinal comeback. The lone goal was scored in the 74th minute when South's Jacob Beckham ran onto a through ball as North keeper Nick Herrmann came out to try and make the save. The ball ricocheted off Herrmann and right back to Beckham, who put the ball in the open goal to make the final 3-1.
"Jacob did exactly what I told him to do, run through the ball," Hensley said. "It's simple stuff like that that we struggled with this season. But I'm very proud of my team. Noah Bronnert played exceptionally well. We are going to work on getting stronger and playing club ball in the off season."
The Jaguars met the Redhounds Thursday night for the district championship. The two met back on August 28 with Corbin taking a 5-4 win in a shootout. Both Corbin and North Laurel advance to next week's 13th Region tournament, with the site yet to be determined. Oneida Baptist and Middlesboro will play Saturday to decide the 50th District winner. Those two teams split during the regular season.

State Flag of Queensland
The Queensland state flag was created as a colonial flag - a British Blue Ensign with the badge of the colony added to the blue field. Because some of the Australian state badges were originaly created to represent the Governor (as distinct from the Colony) they generally showed some element of British royal heraldry - the main criteria being that it be different from similar badges used in other parts of the Empire. Queensland uses a blue Maltese Cross (Malta used a red cross). The Crown [superimposed on the cross] on the Queensland badge represented the status of the Governor as representative of Queen Victoria in the Colony.

AGP Plans Major Expansion in Hastings Neb.
Current plans and schedules anticipate operations from the new capacity to begin in the fall of 2016. Company officials for AGP, which also operates a facility in St Joseph, noted that final construction decisions are contingent on negotiations with state and local officials regarding economic development, utility rates and services and regulatory considerations.
"We are very excited to announce this major expansion project which is a natural complement to our existing operations at Hastings," said Keith Spackler, CEO. "We are finalizing planning and design specifications for the new soybean processing capacity while working with state and local officials on the project. AGP has a long history of operations at the Hastingsfacility with a strong connection locally via our dedicated employee team and a positive economic impact on area communities. We look forward
to strengthening this excellent relationship by continuing to invest in U.S. agriculture and rural communities such as Hastings which reverberates throughout the region in terms of jobs and economic activity. This expansion will also enhance market opportunities for the farmer‐members of local AGP cooperative owners."'
AGP designed and built the first farmer‐owned soybean processing operation in Nebraska at Hastings in 1999, which remains the Western‐most soybean processing operation in the U.S. Expansion of the soybean processing facility represents a sound strategic business opportunity for the cooperative given the growth of soybean acres in Nebraska and Kansas. The Hastings location is the closest U.S.soybean processor to serve the growing demand among Pacific Rim markets for Midwestern soybeans and soybean products.

The Many Highs, Few Lows Of 2013 Seattle Seahawks
When you win the Super Bowl, there isn't much to complain about as far as overall team performance is concerned. But here is a look back at what the Seahawks excelled at and aspects of their game that they will need to tighten up next season.

Ryan Hegarty, a 21-year-old Arlington native, recently signed a contract to play for the Syracuse (N.Y.) Crunch of the American Hockey League for the remainder of this season, according to the Bangor Daily News.
"It's very exciting," Hegarty, a senior defenseman on the University of Maine squad that went 23-14-3 and qualified for the NCAA Tournament this past winter, told the Maine newspaper. "It was bittersweet leaving the campus [Thursday]. Everybody has been so great to me at Maine."
Hegarty was expected to join the Crunch, an affiliate of the NHL's Anaheim Ducks, on Saturday for the team's final six games. He signed an "amateur tryout contract" but is hoping to stay with the team next year, he told the Daily News.
The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Hegarty was the Ducks' fourth-round draft pick (113th overall) in 2008.
This past season, he had two goals and 12 assists in 40 games in what was his best season with the Black Bears, according to the article. His coach, Tim Whitehead, called him a "shutdown defenseman" in the article.
Hegarty attended Pioneer High School in Michigan.

One day, on the cusp of yet another "comeback," James pulled up his suit pants and insisted I inspect his knees, which looked worse than those of a retired linebacker, scarred, swollen and discolored. He complained that the public expected James Brown to stay on his knees as long as possible: "They made my daddy crawl. Crawl under cars, behind mules. Crawl all kinds of ways. Four years ago they made me go down on my knees – my comeback, they called it – to prove I could still do it. That at his age James Brown can still get 'down.'"
It seems that James Brown bore up better under the burdens of racism than those of success. Like his pal Elvis, Soul Brother Number One was a musical and social subversive who outdistanced his culture-shaking innovations. Both men were fated to watch as successive generations cashed in on and devalued their myths. Saleable Elvis kitsch has been clogging the infomercial arteries for decades. But it was rough when Brown's classic "I Got You (I Feel Good)" became a laxative commercial.
The Essential James Brown Playlist
Still, the latter-day Godfather always found a way to feel the love. He and Muhammad Ali engaged in occasional ad hoc road tests of pandemic R-E-S-P-E-C-T. When in Manhattan together, most likely in the company of Rev, they argued good-naturedly over who could stop traffic for the most blocks.
"Yo, Rev. Get us a car." A beat, a wink. "Get a sunroof, Rev – pleeeease!"
The summoned limo purred to some congested intersection in either Harlem or midtown and discharged one of the competitors. As startled but adoring cops scurried to restore order, Brown and Ali would roll off to repeat the exercise in other nabe. Sharpton recalls those wild rides all too well: "Two role models of black American manhood. Acting like little kids. They knew they were loved. But they had to feel it in the street – again and again."
In the aftermath of one such outing, I was still white-knuckling the jump seat as an energized Mr. Dynamite sang this triumphant coda: "I need no shackles to remind me . . . I'm just a prisoner of love!"
It fell to Rev to arrange for his hero's last liveried ride. As we spoke, a white hearse waited for the gilded steel coffin to be loaded for the long drive north and a farewell appearance at the Apollo. "Mr. Brown deserves those lines one more time," said Sharpton. When, in 1988, JB "took some mess" and landed in a South Carolina prison full of hard-eyed boys with fades and no clue "who was the dude in the processed pageboy," it was the dutiful Rev who drove biweekly from New York to give those boys the Word (in the form of some classic cassettes) – and to give the Godfather his beauty supplies. As the morticians fussed with a final fly set of threads – blue sequins – Sharpton went silent on the line. "For the first time in my life," he admitted, "I'm at a loss for words."
That was never a problem for Mr. James Brown. And so we look to him for the best last words: "I do not ever stay angry, no. Because I believe in God's justice. I believe there will be justice, or I could not go on. Could not keep runnin' the way I do. And if some record company, if some DJ don't want to know me, don't want to recognize me in all that stuff you hear in the Top Ten today, well, all right. Because God knows James Brown good as I do. In the year 3000, people say, 'Who was James Brown?' Now I bet you got an idea who James Brown is. But it ain't the same answer as His and mine."

---- — NOAA's New England Fishery Management Council has deferred at least until November recommending deep reductions in next year's allowable catch of most groundfish, a move that would constrict landings even further in an industry that has been declared a federal economic disaster from Maine to New York.
The declaration did not come with any assured aid from the Commerce Department, whose acting director found the fishery failure, but the finding opens the political door for possible financial aid of an undetermined amount and form.
New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell urged the council to move skeptically to reduce fishing and reminded the members of widespread doubt about the underlying science that shows weakened stocks of in- and off-shore cod and other stocks within the groundfish complex.
At its three-day meeting in Plymouth ending Thursday, the 18 members agreed to look carefully at — and perhaps recommend opening — the region's three closed areas to limited and controlled commercial fishing next year to help mitigate the greater hardships to come.
The possible opening of the closed areas was one of a series of technical initiatives examined by the council for the looming hard times for the commercial fleets of Gloucester and other New England and New York fishing communities. Fishermen across the region face a possible shutdown of the inshore cod fishery next year, with implications that could keep most boats off the water, and deep cuts in off-shore stocks from 45 to 73 percent.
Two of the closed areas are at the east and western edges of Georges Bank; the other one, the Western Gulf of Maine Closed Area is a thin rectangle, about 18 miles wide and 73 miles long, about 15 miles east of Cape Ann, and extending from just north of Cape Cod to the waters opposite Portland.
The areas were designated off limits many years ago to foster spawning and protect habitat.
Based on a benchmark Gulf of Maine cod assessment released last year and updated assessments of stocks on Georges, the Northeast groundfishery was declared a failure and disaster by Acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank on Sept. 13.
The decision came nearly 10 months after the filing for a fishery failure by Gov. Deval Patrick, and similar calls from New Hampshire, Maine, New York, Rhode Island and Connecticut. The region's congressional delegation has agreed to attempt to draft a $100 million disaster relief rider and affix it to a farm drought disaster bill during the lame duck session following the November elections.
The council agreed unanimously to have its staff further study the implications of allowing limited fishing in the closed areas and report back to the council at its November meeting when a formal vote could be taken. The expressed goal is to give fishermen operating in the catch share commodity market increased access to haddock, redfish, pollock and other stocks that are strong.
But Councilor David Goethel, a New Hampshire groundfisherman, said he did not believe allowing fishermen into the closed areas with certain gear at certain times would provide more than marginal relief.
"We have to fix the underlying problem, which is single species management," he said in a telephone interview Friday.
While many fishermen see the opportunity to fish in closed areas as essential, influential nonprofits like Pew Environment Group and the Conservation Law Foundation, objected to the idea.
On the other hand, Environmental Defense Fund, which also exerts strong influence and is the driving force behind NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco's catch share management program, supported the initiative.
The Gloucester-based Northeast Seafood Coalition, the region's largest industry group, urged the council to go through with the limited opening of the closed areas, which it described in an email to the Times Friday as a previously promised step to help the fishermen dealing with statutorily required hard catch limits, which took effect in 2010 and drove down the allocations of catch shares on virtually all stocks across the board.
"When the Northeast groundfish fishery transitioned to hard total allowable catches, it was understood the measures that continued to exist under the old mortality controls would be removed," the coalition said in its email.
The decision on opening the closed areas to limited access by boats associated with the sectors, fishing cooperatives working in the catch share commodity market system, is reserved for the secretary of commerce, in practice NOAA administrator Lubchenco.
As vice chairwoman of the EDF board before her appointment by President Obama, Lubchenco has promoted the catch share management system as a way to make the fishery more efficient — through fleet consolidation, with fewer boats and corporations making more money. But she also has been a fierce advocate of marine protected areas — essentially no-fishing zones — to advance conservation goals.
The closed areas eyed by the council are effectively marine protected areas.

Twins Projected Rotation
by, 01-29-2013 at 09:24 AM (1015 Views)
It seems that once again the Twins have been at work picking up pitchers. It seems that their strategy this off-season is the shotgun method, throw volume at things and hope you hit something. So far the signings have been for veterans like Kevin Correia, Mike Pelfrey , and Rich Haren. Two of the three have very questionable health/durability issues and none of them could be considered more than a #3 or #4 starter on most MLB pitching staffs.
It's clear that these moves are largely meant to bridge to the young arms like Kyle Gibson, Trevor May, Liam Hendriks, and perhaps Cole DeVries.
At this point the starting rotation shakes out something like this:
#1- Scott Diamond
Age: 26
Size: 6'3" 220
Acquired: 2010 Rule 5 Draft (Atlanta)
Diamond was a surprise to some last season given that he didn't have (you see a pattern?) great stuff. He throws a fairly straight, not very hard fastball (around 90) and solid change. His third and maybe best pitch is his curve-ball which is considered a plus pitch by some scouts. Diamond also started throwing a cut fastball more in 2012 which seems pretty effective in the right situation.
Diamond is not a strikeout machine, only averaging 4.7 K/9 but the impressive part of his game is control. Diamond finished with an impressive 2.90 K/BB ratio last season showing that while he doesn't strike guys out he doesn't hand out many free passes either. Early projections for 2013 are that Diamond will see a rise in his ERA and K/9 so the overall season is predicted to regress.
#2- Vance Worley
Age: 25
Size: 6'2" 230
Acquired/Contract: Trade for OF Ben Revere, Twins also received SP Trevor May.
Vance is going into his 3rd full season at the MLB level as a starting pitcher. After a very successful rookie year where he posted an 11-3 record it in 21 starts with a 3.01 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 8 K/9 Worley was plagued with loose bodies in his elbow in his second year. Worley started out with an impressive April going 3-2 with a 1.97 ERA and averaged 9 K/9 innings. In May he was placed on the DL for elbow inflammation and came off the DL and again looked good June before the elbow flared up again and plagued him the rest of the season. Assuming Worley is healthy all season he could be in line for a breakout season. However, if the Twins just get a young arm who can eat up innings and be something of an anchor for the staff they will be more than happy.
Worley is not known for his overpowering stuff or velocity, he has a fastball in the low 90's and has a solid change-up and curved but they are not outstanding. His real weapon seems to be the slider/cutter that breaks inside on a right handed hitter.
#3-Kevin Correia
Age: 32
Size: 6'3" 210
Acquired/Comtract: 2012 FA, 2 years $10m ($4.5m in 2013, $5.5m in 2014)
The second spot in the rotation could really be either Correia or Diamond, but we'll give the nod to the veteran for these purposes.In a lot of ways Correia and Worley are similar. Neither are overpowering anyone with their fastball or has lights out stuff. However, Correia has less impressive stuff and less arm than Worley. Like Worley, Correia's best pitch is a his slider/cutter. Correia seems to most successful when he commands his slider well keeping it low and inside on righties and paints the outside with lefties. Correia may have a better curve than Worley ,which in the absence of a true out-pitch, that he uses as a secondary pitch when ahead in the count.
Correia often has issues making it through the batting order multiple times due to the lack of overpowering stuff and often is all but done after 5 innings. Basically he's going to be good for 5-6 innings 20 of 28 starts last seasons went 5+ innings only 3 starts went 7+ innings with no complete games. However, considering the market and the urgent need for a starter of MLB level quality, the amount paid seems to be a favorable deal.
#4- Mike Pelfrey
Age: 28
Size: 6'7" 250
Acuired: Free Agent, 2012, 1 year $4 million.
Plefry is a big, hard throwing pitcher with a fastball that touches 97 at times. His fastball also has good sinking movement on it and his by far his best pitch. He also throws a change, slider and curve though none of them are considered plus pitches. In April of 2012 Plefrey announced that he was going to have Tommy John Surgery and it ended his season. The good news is that Pelfrey does not have a history of being injury prone so there is hope that he can get back to being close to what he was in the past. However, it's going to be hard to predict how well he will fare in his first season back.
Pelfrey was cleared to start throwing back in August and has been pitching every other day since then to college hitters at Wichita State. It is believed that his fastball is currently in the low 90's and getting stronger. There is some history of pitchers throwing harder after Tommy John than before but it normally takes a full year of throwing. The Twins have consulted with Pelfrey and they have agreed for him to take three weeks off before ramping up for spring training.
If healthy and back to form Mike Plefrey can make a very good #4 starter who can put up an ERA between 3.80-4.50 and win the Twins 10-15 games. It's a huge if, but if it works out the Twins worked a good deal and if not they're only on the hook for this season.
#5- Rich Harden, Cole De Vries, Kyle Gibson or Liam Hendriks
The #5 spot int he lineup is pretty fluid right now. The Twins seem to really like both De Vries and Hendriks and they seem to be the most likely opening day #5 starters. They also still have Brian Duensing who has had chances to be a starter in the past. Sam Deduno also will be competing for a spot in the rotation. Nick Blackburn seems to get chance after chance to be a starter for this team but with the recent surgery he's not likely to be a factor.We also have to consider Kyle Gibson who is coming off of Tommy John Surgery and hasn't yet pitched at the MLB level. Newly acquired Trevor May who pitch in AA last season could possibly see the majors at some point in 2013 but is likely a year or two out.
Perhaps the biggest wildcard here is Rich Harden who the Twins brought in for spring training. He's often injured but has dominant stuff that can pile up strikeouts in a hurry. If he appear to be healthy in spring training and pitching well he has to be the odds on favorite for the #5 spot. However, given the large number of arms competing for a starting spot if Mike Pelfrey should struggle another one of these players could end up in the rotation also. Terry Ryan has hinted at that Harden working out of the pen is the most likely scenario.

Poll: Voters Say Job Creation Is Priority 1
But Congress and the president are focusing on deficit reduction instead.
Here's more evidence of why Americans are sour on official Washington: 64 percent of the voters want President Obama and Congress to make job creation their Number One priority, according to the latest Marist/Morning Joe Poll, and only 33 percent say that reducing the federal deficit should be at the top of the agenda.
This indicates that Washington's priorities are out of kilter, since deficit reduction has dominated the debate in the capital so far this year.
"Closing the budget deficit may be the driving force in Washington, but the jobs picture is the public's main concern," says Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.
[READ: Analyst: Obama Needs Liberal Economic Agenda to Preserve Support]
The breakdown among voters by party affiliation is stark. Seventy-six percent of Democrats say job creation should be Washington's first priority, but 51 percent of Republicans say deficit reduction should be the focus. Sixty percent of independent voters want the president and Congress to focus first on job creation.
Many polls find that few Americans give Congress a favorable rating, and Obama's rating, while better than the legislators', has also begun to slip.

Religion news in Wisconsin and beyond
Did St. Mary's team prayers carry Bama over Notre Dame?
So that Alabama rout of Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship last week? Turns out a few prayers from a girls volleyball team at a Menomonee Falls Catholic school might have given Alabama its edge.
It turns out that the St. Mary's Warriors and Alabama Crimson Tide have been cheering each other on since the fall, when Warriors coach Brad Van Dam used the story of Bama's 2011 championship, a victory over LSU, to motivate his 8th grade team.
Like Alabama in the 2011 championship, the Warriors had lost a key game to a rival earlier in the season. And Van Dam hoped that, like Alabama, the girls would learn from their mistakes, rebuild their confidence and take the championship. And they did.
Van Dam fired off an email to Alabama coach Nick Saban, letting him know how his team inspired the girls. Saban in turn read the email to his own team, just off a disappointing loss to Texas A&M. He shipped the girls an Alabama banner signed by his players. The girls sent signed jerseys, and the coaches and staff have been exchanging accolades since.
"And who knows?" Saban said in a letter to the Warriors after they clinched the Seton Volleyball Championship in November. "The added support of St. Mary's Warriors coupled with a bit of 'divine intervention' just may work to our advantage for the BIG game in Miami on Jan. 7th."
Of course, we know now, that the Tide rolled over the — ahem — Catholic Fighting Irish that day.
"They said St. Mary's extra prayers had a lot to do with winning. It's fun for our girls to think that," said Van Dam.
Van Dam points out that Saban is Catholic -- lest anyone take issue with the team's failure to back Notre Dame.
"Coach Saban's effort shows what it means to Live Jesus," he said. "For him to take the time during his busy season ... shows compassion, character and caring."

If there is a God, I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a **** about football.
There is a God, and he doesn't care about football. He cares about people, and people interacting in a care way with other people. Amen!!Hide replies
Yes and he knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake, and he knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.
Whoops, wrong fictional character...
Amen, Tinman! Well put.
If there is a god, who does he/she root for when Notre Dame plays Southern Methodist or Texas Christian?
What an inspiring exchange between our very own Menomonee Falls' St. Mary Parish School's 8th grade volleyball team and Alabama Crimson Tide's title champs! I can only imagine how thrilled the girls were to hear Coach Saban's letter of congratulations to them after their recent Seton Championship win. Go Warriors! www.StMaryParishSchool.org
Of course prayers did. This god fellow plays favorites! He likes the girls volley ball teams, and he especially loves all of the violent history of the Catholic church! Catholics and god are tight!
Heck, he hates Lutherans too. That's why he blew up St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Dunn County.
Why does this kind of crap make the news?
The Pope was so embarrassed by Notre Dame's performance, he sold Notre Dame to the Mormons.
How absolutley stupid. I could not imagine a better discription of total ignorance and blind belief in a 'higher power'.
If there is one all powerful entity, to suggest 'it' is engaged local sports is absurd
Best wishesHide replies
"Best wishes"! It's funny because it's ironic! You are missing the point, Musky, but that's okay, you were able to be angry in public and that makes you feel good.
@musky and hugawaga - i am a christian....i have friends who are athiests and\or agnostics and we let each other just be....what I don't understand is the need for some people who don't believe what I believe, to be so disrespectful of what I believe because of their own insecurities....that goes for Christians and Athiests, when they do this...
why are some people so intimidated and angered and disrespectful of other people's beliefs?? and these same people are usually the one's up in arms when they feel they're beliefs, or lack thereof, is be challenged, compromised, etc....not angry or even frustrated by your posts because they're typical of people trying to solicit a specific response, so an argument occurs...not trying to argue, trying to understand your thought processing...

For example, a Kenyan MPesa customer on his visit to Ghana, can simply download an app to pay parking fees or make some quick purchases in a busy market in Ghana. Implementing platform level and customer level interoperability would be the foundation to build this big ecosystem.
For example, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), a leading telecom service provider in India, has a mobile banking platform which will help mobile subscribers to send money orders electronically. The unique thing is that this SMS based service is done in association with India Post. Receiver will be able to encash the SMS at all post offices in the country. Starbucks, a leading coffee chain is already among the most successful early adopters of mobile payments, claiming to have processed USD26 million in mobile transactions in the US just 12 months after launching the service. Recently, it has forged a partnership with Square that will see the mobile payments company power in-store credit and debit card payments for Starbucks.
I expect that more of these innovative and interesting partnerships will emerge which would utilize mobile money to conduct business more efficiently and effectively.
