Henrico's Top Teachers – Ragan Collins
Ratcliffe E.S., second grade
During her six years at Ratcliffe Elementary School, Ragan Collins has quickly become the school's rock. Officially, Collins is a second grade teacher. Unofficially, she's a friend, mentor, assistant and encyclopedia all rolled into one.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time, Ms. Collins can give you helpful information on any of our 460 students that attend Ratcliffe," a colleague wrote in a nomination letter. "Parents adore Ms. Collins, students are mesmerized by her and her colleagues use her for a resource at any given time of the day."
Collins, who thought her love of children would lead to a career in pediatrics or child psychology, admits that she has a way with kids.
"I refer to myself as a child-magnet," she says with a laugh. "Even when I'm out in public, strangers' children will reach for me.
Her bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia is in psychology. "So, I can gauge what students need from me," she says. "Sometimes it's a hug, sometimes it's just me listening to them.
"Every child is waiting to get that positive experience from school [but] there are some who have just never had a positive experience that has made them buy into it. That's the first thing that I'm going to do – try to get them to buy in."
In the classroom, colleagues marvel at her ability to improve the reading skills of her students by one or two grade levels each year. The secret, she says, is not really a secret at all.
"It's just giving them a comfortable space where they can have some meaningful practice. It's not that they can't read, it's not that they don't want to read – it's just that they're seven."
To help give them extra practice, Collins constantly utilizes reading exercises across all topics, including social studies, math and other core subjects. And when a child who has struggled with reading finally breaks through?
"It is my favorite part of the job," Collins says. "I'll see them blossom. . . and it is just an absolutely beautiful experience."
Collins has regularly had several special needs students in her classes with mainstream students, but her approach is the same with all students.
"There are 18 different personalities in my room at any one time," she said. "It's a constant balancing act to meet all of those needs.
"I'm in a place where I feel like I really matter to the kids, a place where I feel like I've been instrumental in some of their successes. Every year I get that affirmation that, you know what? This is a pretty rockin' job."
Varina Ruritans honor students
The Varina Ruritan Club hosted the winners of its 2014 Environmental Essay contest at its monthly meeting March 11 in Varina.
The contest, in its eighth year, was for the first time open to students in grades 3-5 at Varina Elementary School. (It previously was open to Sandston Elementary School students.)
The meeting included the winners, parents of the winners, Varina Elementary principal Mark Tyler and several teachers who were in charge of the contest at the school. > Read more.
Baseball game to benefit Glen Allen Buddy Ball
For the fifth consecutive year, St. Christopher's and Benedictine will play a varsity baseball game at Glen Allen's RF&P Park as part of a fundraising effort for the River City Buddy Ball program.
The game will take place Saturday, April 12, at 7 p.m., and the teams hope to raise $3,000 through donations, raffles and other efforts. Admission to the game is free, but fans who attend are asked to donate funds for the Glen Allen Youth Athletic Association's Buddy Ball program, which enables disabled children and teens to play baseball. > Read more.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

We have a basement shower which was first used today. The shower drain, sink, and toilet pipes were put in 4 years ago and we just finished the bathroom about 2 months ago. We have been using the toilet and sink with no problems for 2 months. I went into the storage area soon after the first shower and see the basement floor drain backed up with an inch or so water in about a 3 feet ring. My son noted during the shower he heard gurgling sounds and the water would backup in the shower a little bit and then "whoosh" out of the shower. This gurgling and whooshing only lasted a few minutes and the rest of his shower was normal. I checked other toilets/showers/sinks and even ran the culprit shower again and the water does not come up as I watch the floor drain. I poured water into the floor drain and the water level about 6-8 inches down stays constant. I'm obviously not a plumber but think the line was likely dry and the new water source might have caused some type of acute venting problem? Any ideas are much appreciated. Thanks, Dave
Double post: cannot find way to delete from drain forum. Sorry.

When beginning to breastfeed, and throughout your breastfeeding career, achieving a proper latch is the key to ensuring a comfortable experience for you (no cracked or bleeding nipples) and a satisfying experience for your baby (milk in his tummy!). Know this: Breastfeeding should not hurt! If it does, you must re-examine your baby's latch. A poor latch leads to hurt, sore, and "traumatized" nipples, which leads to frustration, pain, and disappointment. If you find that you're experiencing pain from breastfeeding, seek help as soon as possible. The sooner you can fix a bad latch, the less likely it is you will endure more severe nipple pain. If possible, seek help from a lactation consultant in your area. Some will consult over the phone, which can help, but for latch problems, it's best if a lactation consultant see you and your baby feeding in action. Often, hospital maternity wards will have lactation consultants on staff. Call the hospital to ask if you can stop by for a consultation. Otherwise, search for a private lactation consultant in your area.
If a lactation consultant is not available or if you've already seen someone and want more information, YouTube is an excellent resource. YouTube contains several videos that demonstrate — with a live baby & mom — a good latch. Search YouTube with phrases like "good breastfeeding latch," "how to get a good latch," and "good latch bad latch." Watch a few different videos to see how babies are positioned at different angles, and how a good latch looks looks on moms with different breast size and appearance, and with babies of different ages.
Have you used YouTube for breastfeeding help? Tell us about it in the comments!

Quote of the Day
Too often, evangelicalism stops at the cross and never takes us on the transforming power of the resurrection.
Αυτω η δοξα
One thought on "Quote of the Day"
It is a gross overstatement, but generally from my experience, if I want a serious look at the cross, I need to find a catholic author. Evangelicals seem to want to jump past both the cross and the resurrection straight to our acceptance and response. It might be more Pauline than Paul.

To the faithful, making their annual Haj pilgrimages in 1887 from all points across the world, the sight must have been perplexing, to say the least. To Al Sayyid Abd al Ghaffar, who had struggled across the desert with a convoy of camels bearing boxes of photography equipment to point his cumbersome, primitive camera across the plains of Mount Arafat at a sea of small tents, exhausted camels and thousands of travellers, it must have been stranger, more fantastical and rewarding than he could ever have imagined.
What Ghaffar saw that day in 1887 as he joined the caravans of pilgrims arriving by the thousand onto the plains below Mount Arafat was recorded for posterity in a series of photographic prints. Unable to contain the panoramic view within his lens, he moved the contraption about, loading up heavy glass plates into the camera as well as trying to process the freshly exposed negatives in a portable darkroom tent. Other images show pilgrims camping at the tomb of Sittana Maimunah and of the Kaaba itself, taken from aerial perspectives, showing the crowds moving around the courtyard.
Compared to familiar modern-day images showing millions under electric lights, these sepia pictures are truly breathtaking. When pieced together, this series of images gives a vision of humanity and of the pilgrims who spent months travelling through the desert to reach Mecca in time for the Haj. The results became the very first photographs taken in Mecca by an Arab photographer.
These are just a handful of the ground-breaking 170 images from across the Middle East during the late 1800s on show in Dubai as the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority unveils To the Holy Lands this week. The exhibition comprises not only the work of the pioneering photographers Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, Al Sayyid Abd al Ghaffar, Mohammed Sadiq Bey and Felix Bonfils but a number of anonymous contributions as well. It takes in not only these amazing shots of Mecca and Medina, but also a richly diverse selection of individuals and notable places across the Middle East.
As Europeans began exploring the "Orient" with curiosity and heightened expectation during the latter half of the 19th century, the hitherto-undiscovered world of Islam and Arabic culture became a magnet for artists, writers, scientists and the curious, eager to immerse themselves in this strangely exotic new world. For the subjects of their work, it was an equally educational experience – not least, experiencing the nascent photographic technology of the time.
Visiting the exhibition site at the Dubai International Financial Centre amid a the pre-opening hubbub, I talked to Michael Schindhelm, the director of culture at the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority. It was through his offices that the collaboration with the Mannheim museum came about. He explained why the DCAA had brought this collection to Dubai in time for Ramadan.
"Although we are a very cosmopolitan city in Dubai, if we are to talk about culture, we should start with local and regional content. What we have here is a show which demonstrates the oldest photographs ever taken from the sites of the holy lands, the Muslim world of Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. They are all dating from the second half of the 19th century and what you can see is that it is not only a documentary on the Haj, but it is also portraits of society and individuals, the people of the Arab world at the time. This makes it for me even more evocative – you can see the different habits and cultures of that time."
A guided tour of the exhibition space by the DCAA's Labiba Laith proves this to be the case. As well as a number of key pieces documenting the flow of pilgrims into Mecca, the show expands its remit to look at all manner of holy sites and buildings, spanning Muslim, Christian and Jewish life in Jerusalem and across the Middle East.
Views of the ancient holy sites in Jerusalem, Damascus, Jordan and Bethlehem dominate the early sections of the exhibition, captured by the European pioneers Felix Bonfils and Jacob Lorent. In their flickery images of life in the main centres of religious activity, taken mainly during the mid-1870s, they opened up for the world first time contemporary accounts of places that had hitherto existed only in the imaginations of religious westerners: the temple of olives, the tomb of David, the Dome of the Rock, the Wailing Wall, the gardens of Gethsemane and the Dead Sea. In their documentary photographs, these views echo with an emptiness that would soon forever change with the advent of mass tourism.
Meanwhile, key images of the Kaaba and Mecca, which this exhibition features in a small, darkened room, were taken by the Egyptian Mohammed Sadiq Bey. With an extensive series of perspectives, mainly taken from the surrounding mountainsides and around the city in a number of images dated to 1880, he managed to convey the sheer scale of the place, with a dynamic account of the movement of pilgrims around the sacred site as the week of Haj progressed. The final shots of the multitudes of pilgrims, massed about the Kaaba, are fascinating to behold.
Another major strand of the show is the wealth of still-life portraits, the array of individuals and families encountered by the travelling photographers. To western eyes, the inhabitants of each successive city and country were no less exotic and marvellous than the buildings and monuments. Now, for the first time, accurate impressions could be captured on film. So, here, over a century later, gazing steadfastly at us over the passage of years, are the characters who would come to define Middle Eastern life for the curious West.
Then there are the still-life portraits, which form much of the show. We see portraits of prominent dignitaries and their families, posing stiffly for the camera in their finest clothes. A Saudi bride sits uncomfortably in what appears to be chain-mail armour – it is, in fact, a wedding outfit, studded with coins. ("The poor woman can hardly get about without being supported on both sides," commented the photographer Snouck Hurgronje. "And the heat makes her situation truly distressing".)
Doctors, merchants, politicians, royalty and noblemen, beggars, servants, dancers and eunuchs, Christians, Muslims and Jews – all staring into the alien lens, frozen in time forever. The "otherness" of the subjects led the photographers to contextualise them in classical attitudes, from Muslim men demonstrating their prayers to Damascene ladies of leisure, with the anthropological style of a scientist carefully recording rare specimen. In these images, the dignity and pride of the subjects of all backgrounds imbues their presence that still resonates in the photos today.
The exhibition has been loaned to Dubai from the Reiss Engelhorn Museums, based in Mannheim, Germany, marking the first time these images (the oldest surviving photographs of the Arabic world) have ever been exhibited in the Middle East. In the purpose-built exhibition space, just off Lobby V of the DIFC Building, the Dubai team, working to precise plans devised in Germany, have created a mini-gallery in a large cube. Here, the work has been thematically arranged through a series of small rooms and corridors. As well as the photographs themselves, there are copious notes and quotations. The information is, as one would expect from a major museum, well-researched and informative, adding greatly to the viewing experience.
"Most of the time, we are not showing these pieces in our museum," says Dr Michael Tellenbach of the Reiss Engelhorn Museum. "Because prolonged exposure to the light would be bad for the prints. So this is another reason why this show is special."
"We also inform you that in these days we were not able – and we do not know why – to make photographs in the darkroom during the extremely hot and sultry weather, as the watering of the glass negative did not work properly. The gelatin dissolved and became diffused." This extract, from a letter written by Ghaffar on July 5 1887, demonstrates the problems faced by the photographer at the site. Using a portable darkroom in a tent, which accompanied the photographic team, meant that the images were immediately created. However, the process was fraught with difficulties and technological issues. The cameras themselves were heavy, delicate objects, which used plate glass slides, coated with a light-sensitive preparation of gelatin.
Due to the harsh bright light of the desert skies and the long exposure times, the photographic pioneers would often end up with blank-faced subjects and bleached-out clothing – especially useless when the whole point of the project was to document the intricate finery and foreign strangeness of the subjects. Hand-retouching the negative plates became common, giving a strange, impressionist effect to many of the prints, which in turn lent an added air of mystery and exoticism to the final works. No wonder, as international travel became simpler, more and more Europeans flocked to the region in search of the spiritual and romantic scenes.
The stories behind the photographers are equally as fascinating as their subjects. For instance, a major presence was the Dutch-born Hurgronje, a lecturer in Arabic and Islamic studies who spent years immersing himself in the region's culture, travelling to Saudi Arabia and even converting to Islam in 1884. The following year, he travelled into Mecca and, disguising himself appropriately, adopted the name Abd al Ghaffar (no relation to Al Sayyid Abd al Ghaffar). He was able to penetrate the city walls without attracting too much undue attention, despite his weighty photographic baggage. His images here capture a quaint citadel, all boxy high rise buildings, interspersed with mosques, as well as some of the more colourful characters he encountered on his travels.
"What I find fascinating," says Tellenbach, "is how these photographers chose not to document the technological advances of the age, but instead to photograph this mass pilgrimage, this movement of people from all places to Mecca and Medina. You can see the fascination with the movement of people and that is what makes it very special."
As I wander around the space, I am reminded that there are only three similar collections of photography from this era of these holy lands in existence.
One, according to Tellenbach, is owned by a "man in France" who guards his treasures jealously – not allowing any access. The other collection is owned by the Saudi royal family, who show it off to occasional lucky visitors. The third is owned by the Museum in Mannheim, where it was donated over 100 years ago by a local benefactor. The work is, as Tellenbach, concedes, hard to value – but as a guide, he points out that two Mohammed Sadiq Bey original prints went for $2.3 million (Dh8.4 million) at Sotheby's a few years back. However, for 21st century eyes, these journeys in the past are compelling and vivid, as fresh and full of stories to us today as they were for their awed audiences back in Europe in the 19th century.
To the Holy Lands runs from today to Nov 4 at Lobby V, The West Wing, The Gate Building, DIFC. See

I just went down there to take a look and it was still closed off because the Dubai Ruler will officialy open it tonight. [Btw thanks the the security guard who allowed me to sneak a look at a few the photographs]
But from what I saw looked pretty amazing, especially this one picture of Mina back then.
Looks like the Road to Makkah has started early this year

One of the biggest drawbacks of experiencing severe panic attack is the psychological complications that haunt you for years afterwards. In my case, because my panic attacks quickly became severe anxiety disorder, I have problems with trusting situations. I feel the need to always be in a position where I can control the outcome of the surroundings and situation. Thus I develop severe claustrophobia. This has hampered many activities but I feel the most serious of the effects would be my fear of flying. I am not afraid of the heights nor am I afraid of the crashing but the claustrophobia would do me in. I would panic thinking I dont know the pilot, I am trapped in my seat and there isn't any outlet for escape. I am confined in the space I am in and thats it. Thus, I stopped travelling after my panic attacks. I always told my husband that the only reason I would brave myself would be for hajj or umrah.
The point of my rambling is that I have a deep desire and longing to experience places and cultures that would give me a glimpse of our great Islamic history and culture. And yet they remain desires and longings. I would love to be able to just go to Dubai or anywhere to have a look at the photos...but for the time being my experience of Islam and anything Islamic is via the books
So...you are indeed lucky.

The exhibition is on until 4th November, so does that give you enough time in a slow boat from Malaysia Sr UmmWafi?
Inshallah, I'll try and get some pictures and post them up in this thread.
Sr Jannah – Yes, let me know, if he comes to Dubai I'd be more than happy to act as a tour guide!!

Wslm Sis Jannah and Br Khalid
I am actually in Singapore
Yes I have been to Malaysia and Alhamdulillah was fortunate enough to visit the Islamic Art Museum in Kuala Lumpur. Once when I was there they had the sword of the prophet exhibition. Subhanallah it was beautiful. Later there was an exhibition on the silk road where they even had an installation of the inside of a beduin tent.
I have been to an Indonesian island near to Singapore by ferry and there is a mosque made by egg white ! So yes, I have been lucky in that sense but to be able to go to Andalusia or Damascus....it is beyond compare.
I know of the meds but they dont work on me
My mind took the mind over matter stuff too seriously I guess :p

Yes, I did actually know that.
I tell you what we'll do, we'll get all the Madina kids and send them over to you to look after. After a couple of days, you'll be so tired that you'd sleep the entire 8 hour flight to Dubai

Pierson putting Bruno away with an armbar
ICE 14 returned to its hallowed home at Metropolis Night Club in Fairfield, OH. The weather could not hold the fans back as familiar faces made the trek to catch the best amateur MMA action in the tri-state area. The night was built around rematches with rising stars Trevor Garret and Maurice Walker facing familiar foes in heated action. Team Shoot, Meat Truck Inc., The Killingfields, Monroe Martial Arts, and SACAN Martial Arts were all represented by young fighters, each looking to make their mark in the ICE cage. With UFC stars Tim Sylvia and Rich Franklin, along with KOTC veteran Jorge Gurgel and "The Ultimate Fighter" cast member Josh Rafferty in attendance, there was plenty of star power for the fans. A solid night of action along with 2 muay thai exhibition bouts awaited. Now lets get to the action.
Joe Faut vs. Alex Rosario
Michigan fighter Alex Wolverine Rosario took on London, OH fighter Joe Fizz Faut to open the evening. The entire fight followed the same pattern with Rosario getting the opening takedown and pounding from the top. Faut had no answer for the takedowns and although he almost sunk in a few guillotine attempts, there was no real answer to the onslaught of Rosario. Rosario lived up to his nickname as he savagely dropped elbow after elbow to the side of Fauts head. Faut survived all three rounds but still found himself on the losing end of a unanimous decision loss.
Matt Jaggers vs. John Pressel
Team Wolfpack member Matt Jaggers faced a tattooed John Pressel from out of the Killingfields. Sporting a Heather Herring type haircut, Pressel ate a huge punch and knee combination and quickly fell in the opening few seconds. Smelling blood, Jaggers followed up and pounded away from within the guard of Pressel. Unable to take anymore punishment, Pressel was forced to tap at 28 seconds into round 1.
Tyler Combs vs. Scott Zink
Superman Tyler Combs attempted to improve on his 1 and 3 record by taking on Meat Truck INC. member Scott Zink. In what was a very entertaining and evenly matched fight, both fighters had their moments. Combs secured the early takedown and pounded knees into the body of Zink. Zink did defend well, holding on from the bottom and slippingnumerous punches. Going into round 2, Combs again secured the takedown, but this time landed a spinning slam only seen on wrestling shows which sent the crowd into a frenzy. Combs was firmly in control of the fight, but when he went for the kimura, Zink reversed it beautifully and found himself on top in a prime position. Eventually, Zink worked his way into the mount and forced Combs to give up his back. Zink almost ended the fight with a rear naked choke, but Combs listened to his corner beautifully and found off the attempt. Combs eventually slips out of the hold and both traded strikes towards the end of round 2.
Round 3 had both fighters throwing trying to knock the other out. Combs began to regain control forcing the action and landing some solid punches, one almost knocking out the mouthpiece of Zink. After three action packed rounds, the judges awarded a narrow split decision victory to Combs.
Mark Bruno vs. Gerald Pierson
ICE veteran Gerald Pierson looked to continue his winning ways against Team Shoot member Mark Bruno. Bruno, looking to improve on his 7 second KO loss against Greg Franklin two ICE shows ago, came in game and gained the initial takedown. From there, Pierson held tight, controlling both of Brunos arms, minimizing the attack. Without any action, Referee Rich Franklin stood back up both fighters. Getting slammed first was unusual for Pierson, so when they stood up, Pierson immediately grabbed Bruno and slammed him viciously onto the floor. From there, Bruno defended well, and almost locked in a heel hook, but the round ended before he could really crank it.
Round 2 began with Pierson getting the takedown once again and working for a submission. When the kimura was not there, Pierson went for the armbar. Although Bruno tried valiantly to roll out of it, Pierson would not let go and Bruno was forced to tap at 1:15 of round 2.
Rich Thurston vs. Mike Pegg
Meat Truck Inc. member Rich Thurston, making his return to the cage after his horrific elbow accident at a previous ICE show, looked to get his first win against Killingfield and Monroe Martial Arts member Mike the Pitbull Pegg. Unfortunately, the 270 lb. Pegg steamrolled over Thurston, dropping him with big punches and a huge knee. From there, Pegg jumped on his down opponent, and with a 270 lb. man on your back dropping down hammer fists, Thurston had no other option but to verbally submit at :53 seconds of round 1.
Chris Malgeri vs. Danny Ives
Miletich Fighter and jiu-jitsu specialist Danny Ives made his long awaited return to the cage taking on Combat Submission specialist Chris Malgeri. Round 1 had Ives taking control of the fight, getting the opening takedown on Malgeri. Ives utilizes his jiu-jitsu and direction from Tim Sylvia in his corner and attempted a kimura. Noticing that it was coming, Malgeri beautifully reversed it and found himself in the guard of Ives. Ives did not remain there for long as he himself reverses again to gain back control. Malgeri found well from the bottom, throwing the occasional elbow or shot to the face of Ives as round 1 came to a close.
Round 2 had Ives getting the takedown again and slowly attempting to pass the guard. Malgeri defended well, moving his hips, but eventually Ives pressure payed off and he snuck in an armbar that forces Malgeri to tap at 2:31 of round 2.
Joe smith vs. Geno Rodderick
Indiana fighter Geno Roddrick took on London, OH fighter Joe Smith in the 9th fight of the evening. Roddricks wrestling was too much as he literally back suplexed Smith onto his head. From there, Roddrick worked to take the back of Smith who had no retaliation and succumbed to a perfect rear naked choke at 1:03 of round 1.
Dan Conner vs. Steve Banks
Ian Freeman look-a-like Dan Thunderfoot Conner brought his 13-0 undefeated record into the ICE cage to take on Meat Truck Inc. member Steve Banks. Unfortunately, the fight did not last long as Banks dropped Conner with a big right hand and followed up with about 8 undefended hammerfists to the side of Conners head. Referee Franklin had saw enough and called a stop to the fight in a quick :15 seconds of round 1.
Josh Cain vs. Trevor Garrett
In a rematch from ICE 13, Team Victim member Josh Cain got his shot once again at The Experiment Trevor Garrett from the Killingfields. In their first fight, Garrett won a close fight when the fight was stopped by Franklin. Cain said that the fight was stopped too early and wanted a rematch. Garrett was happy to oblige. The hard punching Garrett wasted no time head hunting as the fight began, throwing bombs from both hands. Before Cain could even fight back, Garrett landed a beautiful left hook that completely knocked out Cain. Cain fell lifelessly onto the floor and Garrett followed up with a forearm shot for good measure. Fortunately, Cain was o.k. after some medical attention and Garrett was declared the winner in a quick :26 seconds in round 1. Garrett now finds himself in line for bigger shows. Rumor had it that he was to fight Phil Baroni in L.A. but that fell through. Keep your eye on this up and coming fighter as one prominent promoter said that he has the potential to knock out most guys in the UFC. Those are some big words to live up to. Can Garrett live up to the hype, we will just have to wait and see.
Jon Murphy vs. Maurice Walker
The main event of the evening had another rematch all the way from ICE 8, as professional boxer/MMA fighter Jon Murphy from Minersville, PA took on Meat Truck Inc. member Maurice Blue Magic Walker. This fight also ended in a bit of controversy the first time (See my ICE 8 review in the archives) and both fighters were here to settle the score once and for all.
Round 1 had both fighters jockeying for position in the clinch. Neither man wanted to give up much, pushing and reversing each other into the cage, and dropping a few knees up close. Each fighter attempted a takedown, but the other defended well and round one came to a close with both men still trying to gain position.
Round 2 action picked up as Murphy was finally able to get the takedown. Walker immediately pulled guard and held on tight, hooking in both of Murphys arms. With no action from the top, Referee Franklin stood back up both fighters. Both fighters traded a few good shots and Walker almost got the judo throw, but Murphy held his ground and round 2 came to an end.
With the fight way too close to call, round 3 would have to be the deciding factor. Both fighters looked to throw, with Walker landing the more significant kicks and punches. But just when you thought Murphy was starting to gas, he hands a huge right hand to the face of Walker. Although this punch would have knocked out most fighters, Walker ate the punch but was visibly dazed. Smelling blood, Murphy came charging and began unleashing some heavy leather with Walker covering up. Eventually, Walker was able to get the clinch and seemed to have been able to shake the cobwebs out. As the round neared its end, both fighters were again cautious, not wanting to get caught with the one big KO punch. With the seconds ticking away, Murphy again landed another huge left, but this time, Walker was unable to recover and Murphy was awarded the KO at 2:58 of round 3. Murphy showed much improved standup from his last appearance at the ICE show, and Walker showed the heart and rock solid chin of a seasoned veteran. One can only hope that these two explosive fighters will once again please the ICE crowd by doing it one more time. Only time will tell.

This year alone, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals will provide charity care worth billions, yet these hospitals still depend on community support. Fundraising efforts in Atlanta and north Georgia directly benefit Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, reflecting the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals pledge to keep 100 percent of donations in the local community.
Since 1983, our local community's generous support has helped raise more than $57 million for Children's and our three hospitals and 20 neighborhood locations.
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals conduct thousands of special events each year, including:
"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child."
See some of the stories showing the differences our supporters have made.

I am a driving instructor and wonder how some of my competitors can charge such a low hourly rate?
I charge much less than the big nationals, but quite a bit more than the real cheap ones. I don't know how someone can make a profit and provide a high standard of instruction when they charge little more than the minimum wage for an hours lesson.

This year, those who ask will learn that Alabama's high school dropout rate, though improving, is still high. They will learn that only 53 percent of those who graduate from high school go on to a two-year or four-year institution of higher learning. And they will be confronted with figures (compiled by the Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama) that 35 percent of those attending post-secondary schools are unprepared and have to take one or more remedial courses.
In other words, about a third of college-bound students who graduate from Alabama high schools are not ready for college work.
That's not the sort of information you want to tell industries looking for a place to settle.
Rest assured that some CEOs of these companies will shake their heads and move on to states that put more emphasis on education. But others might ask, "What is Alabama doing about it?"
They won't like the answer.
There are the usual excuses: The courses for college-bound students are taught in most high schools but the students either don't take them or don't take them seriously. It is the fault of youth, the fault of parents and the fault of their socio-economic circumstances. All of that is true, though that will mean little to industries that need trained and trainable employees.
Alabama's economic development recruiters must have something else to tell these CEOs.
We can tell them that instead of finding a way to keep teachers in the classroom (like raising taxes or getting rid of tax exemptions special interests groups enjoy) we are poised to pass an education budget that will lay off nearly 1,000 instructors (plus more than 600 support personnel). This, we will point out, will mean larger classes, less technology and outdated material.
And we can tell them that we have lengthened summer vacation for no good purpose except maybe saving a little money on operating costs. We've also lengthened the school day, which will make it all the more difficult for the remaining teachers to teach and students to learn.
And we can tell them . …
Nothing else.
By this time, they will be out the door and looking for another state in which to locate.
We will have shown them that Alabama is not for them.

Saturday is the reason they play the regular season all the way to the end.
Just when you think you know everything, you know nothing.
Kansas State was No. 1 in the Bowl Championship Series standings but now it's not.
Oregon was No. 2 but now it's not.
Notre Dame was No. 3 in the BCS but will now be . . . No. 1.
And the Southeastern Conference, stunned by top-ranked Alabama's loss last week to Texas A&M, is now back in BCS business.
The take-away question after Saturday's frenzied flurry of action is, "OK, now what?"
Well, here's what: Out of nowhere, and by nowhere we mean Waco, Texas, the Baylor Bears shocked Kansas State, 52-24.
Stanford went to Oregon and stymied the nation's No. 1 offense, pulling out a 17-14 overtime victory.
Sometimes this is how a national title dream dies. Oregon kicker Alejandro Maldonado's field-goal attempt in overtime clanked off the left upright. Stanford took possession but fumbled, the ball jumping away from two Oregon players into the arms of one from Stanford.
Stanford kicker Jordan Williamson, who has been living with last year's Fiesta Bowl miss for almost a year, stepped up and kicked the game-winning 37-yard field goal.
The only people cheering harder than those in Palo Alto were fans in the SEC, who got the two-loss combination they needed to start bragging again.
For the short, incredible term, Notre Dame is 11-0 and the only undefeated team left that can still play for this year's title.
If USC defeats Notre Dame next week, though, this year's BCS race will be a cage-match battle of one-loss teams.
It's possible now that two SEC teams could play again for a title, a year after two SEC teams played last year.
It's also possible players crying on Saturday could be back in contention before you know it.
You just never know, right?
Kansas State entered the weekend 10-0 and No. 1 in the BCS standings for the first time in school history.
The Wildcats stood two wins from advancing to their first national title game.
You might have expected a tough game next week against Texas, but Saturday night in Waco against Baylor?
That was simply wacko.
Baylor has a potent offense, ranking second nationally, but also had the worst defense in the country — 120th out of 120 schools. The Bears had a 4-5 record and were only 1-5 in Big 12 play.
What happened was absolutely preposterous — and how can you not at least acknowledge the Sports Illustrated jinx?
Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein graced this week's cover with the teaser headline: "27 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE BEST PLAYER ON THE NATION'S BEST TEAM."
Best player? Best team?
Klein wears jersey No. 7, but this time it wasn't lucky.
Saturday's loss will not match the agony of 1998, when Kansas State entered the fourth quarter of the Big 12 title game with a double-digit lead over Texas A&M.
UCLA's defeat at Miami earlier in the day meant a Kansas State win would send the Wildcats to the first BCS title game.
Texas A&M, though, rallied to beat Kansas State in St. Louis. Wildcats Coach Bill Snyder, after the game, compared the loss to a death in the family.
Saturday's loss, 14 years later, was more shocking than agonizing.
Baylor simply dominated a game it had no business winning — but did.
Notre Dame's national case had been hurt by suspect wins over inferior competition — namely a three-point win over Purdue and a triple-overtime victory against Pittsburgh.
The Irish, though, didn't need to explain anything after Saturday's emphatic 38-0 win over Wake Forest. They capped a perfect home season and head to Los Angeles next week to face a USC team reeling after its 38-28 loss to UCLA.
Notre Dame Coach Brian Kelly continued to make his case for his team, at the time not knowing the outcome of Saturday night's games.
He was the only voter in last week's USA Today coaches' poll to cast a first-place vote for the Irish. Now he'll be one of many.
"I voted them No. 1 for a reason, because I think they're the best team in the country," Kelly said after Saturday's win. "And I think they played like that tonight."
The SEC watched the action excitedly as seven of its teams completed an exhibition day against lower-division FCS schools.
Alabama toyed with Western Carolina, Florida took care of Jacksonville State, Texas A&M manhandled Sam Houston State, Kentucky rolled over Samford and Auburn warmed up for the Iron Bowl against Alabama next week with an easy win over Alabama A&M.
South Carolina didn't have it as easy, struggling at home against Wofford before winning. Georgia started slowly but pulled away from Georgia Southern.
The SEC took some credibility hits this week.
"That was an embarrassing slate today," ABC announcer Brent Musburger said of the SEC's Saturday schedule.
But none of that mattered.
For the first time in a long time, the SEC needed help if it wanted to win its seventh straight BCS title.
It got all the help it needed but, if you can believe it, there are still two weeks left.

Mesh and cut-out styles let you display a bit of skin without going full-blown bikini, while you feel covered-up. Go for a center ring or gold-embellished suit to add a bit of texture to your getup. Tie-sided bottoms make you feel girly and halter tops account for bust support. If you�re a self-declared glamour queen, opt for a metallic cut-out suit. If you�re more classic beauty, stick to a solid monokini. If you have a hippie side, try a psychedelic tie-dye mono or go for a tribal print. Chain link embellishments add an element of chic to an otherwise simple swimsuit. At GoJane, you don�t have to sacrifice comfort, style or modesty for fashion. This summertime staple has been reworked for modern bathing queens, and going the extra mile for your next beach trip or pool party will help you get excited instead of shudder the next time you have to step into swimwear.

At the senior center in Smithfield, longtime friends meet each day for lunch, with easy laughter heard between bites of food.
Like its counterparts in other Johnston communities, the Smithfield Senior Center provides free lunch, games and exercise to older adults in the area.
"It extends our life being here," said Linda Cobb, 68, of Four Oaks. "Some people need a reason to get out of their house."
Cobb is one of about 15 regulars at the Smithfield center, operated by Johnston County Community & Senior Services. But the center here and those elsewhere in Johnston could have been forced to close their doors if the federal government shutdown had continued.
"If they cut this out, what are we supposed to do?" said Rosa Shepherd, 73, of Smithfield. "Guess we can sit there and rot, huh? I don't plan to rot."
During the shutdown, federally supported programs in Johnston County faced tough decisions as money stopped flowing. Though the shutdown is over, the agreement reached in Congress extends federal spending at current levels only through mid-January. Because of that, local agencies and nonprofits are uncertain how to handle their finances going forward, and they don't know when they will get their promised money, which faces a lag time as backed-up government agencies return to work.
The Johnston County Area Transit System, for example, is waiting for access to $600,000, or 25 percent of its budget. The money was supposed to be available July 1. But first, state lawmakers had to pass a budget, and then JCATS, which shuttles seniors and the poor to doctor appointments, had to wait for outside companies to sign contracts. By the time that happened, the federal employees who release the money had been furloughed, said Neal Davis, executive director of Community & Senior Services.
The frozen funding caused the waiting list for medical rides to grow to 28. And even with funding restored, it's too late for those people, Davis said. "The lost services can't be gotten back," he said. "They didn't get the help they needed when they needed it."
JCATS also canceled some rides and found money elsewhere to provide transportation for five dialysis patients. Davis said clients didn't know it, but many of their rides were on thin ice.
Community & Senior Services saw waiting lists grow in other programs too. For the in-home aide program, the waiting list reached 92 people last week, and the wait for home-delivered meals climbed to 69. If the shutdown hadn't ended, those services could have been cut, Davis said.
Mary Mitchener, 93, of Smithfield said she would have to rely on food stamps only if home-delivered meals stopped coming to her door. But grocery shopping is hard, she said, because she has arthritis and can't stand for long periods. "I'd have had to trust the Lord, like I've been doing," she said. "That's a God-sent program."
For Harbor Inc., which provides aid to victims of rape and domestic violence, the freeze on federal funds could have closed the agency's shelter, said Keri Christensen, executive director.
But even with the shutdown over, the money still has to trickle through bureaucratic red tape. "We're not going to get our money tomorrow," Christensen said. "It's still going to be a few weeks."
Harbor's budget is about $600,000 a year, and about $120,000 of that comes from the federal government, including the Victims of Crime Act. The shelter runs entirely on federal funding and has operated near its capacity of 14 people for months. Reserve money would have lasted only through early November, Christensen said.
She said the shutdown had a snowball effect, as people found themselves unable to keep up with their bills. That taxed social programs, which were also hit by the shutdown.
"I hear people say, 'Oh, the shutdown isn't affecting anybody really; it's shut down the panda cam.' But it is affecting real people in our communities greatly," Christensen said.
A wake-up call
Nonprofits often don't have savings to make up for a lapse in federal funds, said Sherry Harris, president of Reach Out Johnston County, which helps the county's nonprofit community.
"In the nonprofit world, when I think about a reserve, I don't think about a huge savings account over here in a bank," Harris said. "You're just a little bit over in your checking account that might could help you for a few days."
Marie Watson is executive director of Johnston-Lee-Harnett Community Action, which runs the county's Head Start program. The shutdown held up roughly $60,000 in reimbursements for food, meaning the agency had to use reserve money.
Watson said nonprofits like hers can't save money to prepare for funding freezes like the shutdown. "A lot of times, our grantors want to see us spend everything," she said. "If you've got any money left over, they want it back."
Taking out a line of credit isn't possible, Watson said. Though the lender would eventually get its money back from the federal government, Community Action wouldn't be able to pay the interest, Watson said.
Davis said the shutdown has been a wake-up call for nonprofits to manage their money even more carefully. "By virtue of what we do, the spirit of the way our revenues come in, it is intended to be put to work," he said. "And yet as an organization we have the responsibility to the entity to keep it running, so you have to find a way to carve out sufficient reserves to get through the issues that we're facing right now."
Davis said the shutdown was a double-whammy after sequestration also cut programs.
"It's a wake-up call for board of directors and executive directors to sit down and come to terms with what have we got to do to maintain sustainability of the agency, even if it means holding back money that you would otherwise like to make available in terms of programs and services," Davis said. "Because at the end of the day, nobody is looking out for us but ourselves."

I'm always sad to see summer wave goodbye: I adore my free-flowing, highlighted tresses and bronzed skin. But, the promise of crisp, fall days and the accompanying style changes excite me, too. In my experience, the summer-to-fall beauty transition is one of the easiest to navigate because the basic color palette remains the same. With the approach of fall, beauty mavens get to blend in warmer tones and tackle any skin issues that the brutal summer sun may have left behind. Follow these five rules for summer to fall beauty transitioning!
Let's freshen that hair! It's time to trim those ends and possibly, sport a new hairdo. No matter how hard I try, I always end up with hair that's too light for fall hair fashion. Transition into fall with a few well-placed low lights. Repair any pool- or ocean-damaged hair with a deep hair moisturizer.
Introduce warm oranges to your makeup collection. Autumn colors, like apricot or burnt orange for deeper skin tones, is the perfect addition to summer makeup. Put the bronzer away and touch up those cheeks with fall warmth along the cheekbones and forehead. For the eyes, swap out the navy blue and pick up some deep greens for an on-season accent color. If you have a hard time ditching the summer bronze eyeshadow (like me!), play up this sexy shade with a green or deep, deep brown accent shade. A smoky, smoldering eye always looks beautiful, too!
Give your lips a lot of love. They've endured the sun and waves; now it's time for some moisturization. Begin the lip love with an exfoliation treatment and a soothing lip balm. I get lots of hydration from a moisture-rich fall lipstick.
Replace the dark, summer foundation and avoid that awkward makeup is "too dark" look. It may take some time for your skin to fade but it certainly will! Purchase new foundation and concealer and get a jump on fall makeup. For my summer-to-fall beauty transition, I toss out the liquid makeup and instead, use a warm mineral powder. Fall colors should begin with warm, soft looking skin.
Slough away dry summer skin with regular exfoliation - that's for the face and body. Microdermabrasion kits make it easy to remove dry patches, tiny bumps and dark spots. (Of course for dark spots, you will need several treatments.) A yummy-smelling sugar scrub will treat your legs and body, oh, so nice! Always follow up your exfoliation with a hydrating moisturizer and never exfoliate more than once a week.
So are you ready for fall? It's an easy transition to make if prepare your skin and introduce those warm, autumn colors!
