multi EA® 4000 – C, S and Cl solids analysis as easy and reliable as never before.
The multi EA® 4000 introduces a new generation of elemental analyzers for determining C, S and Cl in solid samples. Simple and straightforward determinations – TS, TC, TX, TOC, TIC, EC and AOC parameters in inorganic and organic solids: soil samples, sediments, construction materials, fuels, ashes, polymers, wastes, catalysts, minerals, and fertilizers.
The multi EA® 4000 is versatile, reliable and easy to operate, yet offers real macro elemental analysis. Sample weights up to 3 g can be analyzed with ease using the multi EA® 4000 – no laborious sample homogenization is necessary.
The HTC (High Temperature Ceramic) technology is extremely robust and needs no catalyst; it's easy to run precise analyses, even with aggressive and corrosive samples at high temperatures!
The special wide-range NDIR Detector allows the simultaneous detection of carbon and sulfur over a broad, dynamic measuring range, all the way from ppm up to percent. Made from highly resistant materials, with a specialized optical configuration and efficient gas cleaning, this system requires very little maintenance and has long-term stability, even for the most challenging applications like direct TOC measurement. Elemental carbon or decomposable organic carbon determinations are also easy with the multi EA® 4000. A broad-range coulometer with a patented combination electrode is available for chlorine analyses across a wide range.
A large-capacity is optionally achieved thanks to a fully automated solid sampler which transfers the sample boats to the combustion furnace to get automated C, S and Cl analyses with amazingly high sample throughput. The sampler is also optimized for automated TOC (Total Organic Carbon) determination.
The multi EA® 4000 gives you fully automated determination of TOC and TIC (Total Inorganic Carbon) samples, with autosampler control in a single analysis process.
Additional features, such as the Self Check System (SCS), intuitive software navigation and an integrated "cookbook", give you the best reliability, efficiency, flexibility, precision, and safety.
Advantages at a glance:
- Highly convenient operation
- Unique application diversity
- Intuitive software navigation
- Preset standard methods
- Minimal maintenance requirement
- Low operating costs

If you enjoyed the reasoned debate over opening Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to fossil fuel extraction, you'll likely be happy to learn that a similar debate may be coming to your own neighborhood.
For years Forest Service land in the East was considered irrelevant when it came to oil and gas leasing. But in the last year and a half, the federal government has leased or scheduled for auction more than 384,000 acres at the request of private bidders, more than 10 times as much land as it had leased in the previous two years.
The agency responsible for such auctions, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), had intended to auction another 90,000 acres in four southern states next week, but protests in Alabama prompted that state's auctions to be postponed.

There are more things stiff than just the necks of the men that wander into this establishment! They pledge through the tour of, Happy Ending Spycam these massage therapist are being secretly filmed….in all actuality, I'm not really sure it's such a hidden agenda, but it makes for a great fantasy! There will be no tension left after the temptation is unleashed from promised nice quality. Happy Ending Spycam is supposed to be all about a spy camera set-up inside a massage parlor that captures unsuspecting guys getting extra special treatment along with their massages. It is clear that this is not the case right away. Seriously, do people really believe that? Who cares! The fantasy is there, the fuck models are hot and the pussie ... [read more]s are soaking fucking wet. That is they key. That is what you are paying for. The first thing that I noticed right away was that pricing system of this site is funky. You can choose to join "free" for three days or "free" for life. Pay attention here- What you are actually buying is a membership to a network called Reality Sex Network. They offer HappyEndingSpycam up for "free" to entice you. There is nothing free. You have been bamboozled. But don't get too upset just yet.

The navigation here is typical. Nothing special happens but it is easy to get around.

None of the divas here are supermodels, but most are pretty damn hot. You will see a ton of natural tits and ass and that is always a plus in my book. Right now the site is serving up 80 sex-packed movies that average about seven minutes long. All the basics are presented including self-play, oral, straight fucking and a bit of ass play.

Millburn High School's boys varsity tennis team won its fifth straight group title Wednesday in the NJSIAA Groups competition, held at Mercer County Park in West Windsor — crowning the team Group IV champions.
The Millburn team will defend its Tournament of Champions title next week as it competes with five other group champions as first seed.
In the groups competition, the Millers drew a tough semifinal competitor in Livingston High School. Though Millburn had defeated Livingston in their previous meetings this season, a win was by no means assured. And indeed, the Millers' victory over the Lancers was about as thin as it gets: 3-2, with the clinching match a 7-6(7), 7-5 nailbiter on the second singles court, when Miller Dean Koman sent opponent Erik Katcher home.
Koman's match broke a 2-2 tie. Millburn's first point was won at second doubles by Andrew Nolff and Evan Imegwu, who dispatched Dennis Li and Jesse Korovin 6-4, 6-3.
The next point went to Livingston, when Sam Farber and Justin Patel defeated Teddy Moskovitz and Keith Knopp 6-2, 6-3.
Millburn went up 2-1 with first singles Tyler Schick's comeback victory over Anthony Caputo. Schick got off to a slow start and dropped the first set 6-2, but regrouped to outplay Caputo the next two sets 6-1, 6-1.
On the third singles court, Miller Jason Ginsburg had also lost his first set to Spencer Luster, but reset and won the second set 6-2. Luster regained the upper hand to take the third set 6-4 and earn Livingston's tying second point.
With both teams and spectators lining the fences to cheer the second singles players, Koman and Katcher played out their tense finish. With Koman's win, Millburn was into the final.
After a 90-minute break, the Millers retook the courts to face Montgomery High School for the Group IV title. Montgomery had beaten Shawnee in the semifinals.
The Millers sailed through the final, taking four of five matches in straight sets. Schick delivered the first team point, beating Chris D'Agostino 6-3, 6-0.
Next off the court were Nolff and Imegwu, with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Eric Epp and Howard Bi.
Koman's 6-1, 6-1 victory over Kevin Xu clinched the match for Millburn, while Moskovitz and Knopp added another team point, outplaying Clark Chapman and Alessandro Sclapari 6-3, 6-3.
Montgomery's only team point came on the third singles court, when Ben Eckard defeated Jonathan Duan 6-4, 7-5.
Millburn's season record now stands at 27-1.
Going into the TOC as first seed, the Millers have a bye in the first round. On Wednesday they are slated to play the winner of Christian Brothers Academy versus Moorestown. Second seed Newark Academy is scheduled to play the winner of Holmdel versus New Providence, also on Wednesday.

After more than a year of planning, the Benicia High School Panther Band will depart for New York City on Tuesday, March 13th, to perform in the historic and well-viewed St. Patrick's Day Parade. Typically, this parade boasts 150,000-250,000 marchers and over two million spectators lining the route. The Panther band may quite possibly be the only high school band representing California, as they bring their Panther Pride to the east coast.
The St. Patrick's Day Parade is one of the few remaining events where no cars, floats, buses, trucks or other vehicles are allowed. This year, the parade will be held in honor of all American veterans, from every branch of service and from every war or conflict.
As a delightful prelude to this trip, the Panther Band played their piece, "A Weekend in New York" at the 'Music in Our Schools' event on Wednesday night. Have a listen and notice how the Panther Band sounds just like a professional orchestra. Part of the tuba and saxophone section stood and scurried around the high school bleachers during the piece, which put the audience in the middle of the city, complete with the romantic energy of taxi cabs and people on foot. It firmly put everyone in awe of their New York state of mind.
There is an interesting history that is worth telling about the parade. It has been running for 251 consecutive years, and started more than a decade before the Declaration of Independence was even signed. According to one website, the first St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York was held in 1762 by a group of Irish military and ex-patriots, who served with the British Army stationed in the American colonies. The wearing of green was a sign of Irish pride in the colonies because it was banned in Ireland. The parade participants enjoyed being able to wear the green, sing Irish songs and play Irish tunes which held deep meaning for those who had fled their homeland.
The band has been gearing up all winter by reviving their marching practices to build endurance for the parade route, which covers about 42 blocks. They have done countless laps in the upper parking lot of the high school.
I attended the last practice, and as they came around the bend towards me, even while they played a song I've heard dozens of times before, my heart leapt at the thought of how it will sound on 5th Avenue. They added elements to entertain as well as impress.
The band will also get to experience New York City by seeing a Broadway play, the 9/11 Memorial, The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and will receive music instruction with a conductor from the New York Philharmonic, to mention a few. For many, this will be their first time in New York, and will surely rank as one of those trip-of-a-lifetime events. Eleven parent boosters took time off from their busy lives as well. They volunteered to chaperone the students and to also enjoy their time with the band, a bittersweet time for the senior parents as this will be the last school trip they will attend with their child.
The Panther Band will start their march at 1 p.m. EST, (10 a.m. Benicia time). Here is a website that declares they will run a live stream of the event.
Please keep the band in your thoughts as they make the long journey over spring break, and especially to the band director, Mr. Patrick Martin, who will be driving all the equipment to New York and back.

The new Mondeo is by far the most desirable Mondeo Ford has ever built. The new look has been heavily influenced by the four door Evos concept cars which Ford hope will change the everyday image the old car had. The new Ford Mondeo which is due to hit the road next summer will feature at the 2012 Geneva motor show with a host of new gadgets.
From recent spy shots and inside information the latest illustrations show how the new Mondeo with Fords latest Kinetic 2 design language should look. The styling at the front of the new family saloon looks a little like a Aston Martin Vantage or Jaguar Xk and with the defined lines which run down the side to the bulging rear arches where it meets the steeply raked roofline help reveal the Ford Mondeos sporty intentions. A large grille similar to the one found on the New Ford Focus has been fitted to the Mondeo, but this new grille is now mounted further up the bonnet which highlights how narrow the new headlights are.
The 2.0-litre petrol engine with electric motors featured in the Ford Evos Concept vehicle will be used in the future which can travel 50 miles on electric alone which will give the new Ford Mondeo a total range of 500 miles on a full tank. The New Mondeo will start off with Fords 1.6 and 2.0 litre EcoBoost petrol turbo which produces 200bhp and can achieve 36mpg, while the 1.6 which can also be found in the Ford C-MAX produces either 150bhp or 180bhp. A range of diesel engines will include a 1.6 litre 112bhp TDCi and a 2.0 TDCi with either 137bhp or 163bhp. All engines will receive some kind of eco tweak to improve engine efficiency, these will include Fords brake regeneration system, Stop-Start and active aerodynamics that can close the grille at high speeds to improve fuel efficiency. Ford will use the current chassis for the new Mondeo but this will be modified to include Fords torque vectoring system, which helps shift the power between the two front wheels to help prevent under steer when cornering.
Ford hope to bridge the gap between them and their German rivals Audi and BMW. The inside of the new Mondeo will be fitted with high quality materials and a range of hi-tech gadgets which will make it one of the most advanced vehicles on the road. The Ford Mondeos SYNC entertainment system can play audio, deal with voice commands read text messages through a Bluetooth connected smart phone. Other features will include lane monitoring assist, blind spot monitoring and parking assistance control. All Ford Lease Cars are available on cheap lease deals with free road tax and in most cases free delivery to all parts of the UK.
Ford Mondeo Lease Car, Ford Mondeo Lease, Ford Mondeo Contract Hire and Leasing, Ford Mondeo Business Lease, Ford Mondeo Business car, Ford Mondeo Personal Car Leasing, Ford Mondeo Company Car Lease and Ford Mondeo Lease Cars Direct.

Alice Petry Gast (born May 25, 1958) is the 13th President of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She is Lehigh's first female president.[1] An internationally renowned scholar, researcher and academic leader, Gast was named one of the top 100 "Modern Era" engineers in the country under the category of "Leadership" by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. On Jan. 3, 2014, Gast announced that she had accepted the position of president of Imperial College London and will be stepping down from the presidency of Lehigh in July 2014. [2]
During Gast's tenure, Lehigh completed a campus-wide strategic planning and implementation process, concluded a $500-million capital campaign and has since raised an additional $225 million in new resources for the University. Lehigh also expanded the University's work in and with the City of Bethlehem, increased the size of the University's footprint with the addition of the 750-acre Stabler Campus, increased the University's international presence and has perpetuated and expanded innovative new approaches to student-directed learning with the launch of Lehigh's Mountaintop Campus initiative.

Born in Houston, Texas, Gast graduated as valedictorian from the University of Southern California in 1980 with a B.Sc. in chemical engineering.[1] She completed her postgraduate work at Princeton University, receiving a M.A. (1981) and Ph.D. (1984) in chemical engineering,[1] with thesis titled A Study of Polymer-Induced Phase Transitions in Colloidal Suspensions and was a Hertz Fellow. She spent a postdoctoral year completing a NATO fellowship at the École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles in Paris.[3] From 1985 to 2001 she taught at Stanford University, and then moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she served as the Vice President for Research and Associate Provost until her appointment to Lehigh in 2006.[1]
Research career[edit]
The focus of Gast's research career was the study of surface and interfacial phenomena, in particular the behavior of complex fluids. Her areas of research include colloidal aggregation and ordering, protein lipid interactions, and enzyme reactions at surfaces. She is the co-author of Physical Chemistry of Surfaces,[4] a classic textbook on colloid and surface phenomena, and has presented named lectures at several of the nation's leading research institutions.
Personal life[edit]
Gast is married to Bradley J. Askins, a computer scientist. They have two children, Rebecca and David.[1]
In 2006, Gast was named the 13th President of Lehigh University. Gast is not the first Lehigh President recruited from MIT. In 1895 they invited Thomas Messinger Drown to take the Presidency, for whom Drown Hall is named.[1] In November 2010, Lehigh's board of trustees voted to reappoint Gast to a second five-year term through 2016.[5]
Partnership with Lee Iacocca for International Scholars Program[edit]
In 2011, Lehigh Alumnus Lee Iacocca gave $5 million in endowment to support the creation of a new international internship program. It provides an array of international work experiences for Lehigh students that include international co-ops, research experiences, and internships or cohort internships. The cohort internships are led by a Lehigh faculty member that matches Lehigh students with their peers from another country to work as a team on a common problem within a multinational corporation.
"Through Lee's vision and generosity, this gift will provide opportunities for our students to gain a deeper understanding of the unique challenges that exist in an interdependent and highly connected global society," said Gast.[6]
Reducing High-Risk Behaviors[edit]
In 2011, Lehigh joined top schools across the country as a part of an innovative program focused on reducing high-risk drinking behaviors as a part of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). In 2010, Gast was named to the NIAAA College Presidents' council.
Finalizing Lehigh's Sustainability Plan[edit]
In mid-April, 2009, Gast moved forward on a commitment to the environment by pledging to make environmental sustainability and climate change an institutional priority at the university. Gast signed the Lehigh University Climate Commitment[7] at an Earth Day celebration.
The Climate Commitment will create institutional policies and procedures to manage the development and implementation of a university-wide plan that affirms Lehigh's commitment to protect and improve the environment through its teaching, research, faculty, student and staff service, and administrative operations. In signing the Climate Commitment, Gast said that safeguarding the environment is an issue the Lehigh community aggressively embraces.[8]
Lord Dearing Memorial Conference[edit]
In 2010, Gast shared her educational expertise at the Lord Dearing Memorial Conference, a forum for accomplished educators to shape the debate on the future of education. Gast presented in a session discussing the global economic crisis and higher education.
Appointment as a U.S. Science Envoy[edit]
In 2010, Gast was selected as one of three new science envoys by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.[9] Gast is charged with encouraging U.S. global engagement in science and technology. She has traveled to the Central Asian and Caucasus regions, including Kazakhstan,[10] Uzbekistan,[10] and Azerbaijan.[11] She has advised the White House, the State Department and the U.S. scientific community about the knowledge and insights she has gained from her travels and interactions.
Leading the National Academy of Science Review of the 2001 Anthrax Case[edit]
In February 2011, a 16-member panel of scientists led by Gast released a report after reviewing the scientific evidence related to the FBI investigation of the anthrax letters mailed in the aftermath of 9-11. Anthrax spores contained in the letters were mailed across the country and were responsible for killing five people and sickening 17 others.
The panel found that it is not possible to reach a definitive conclusion about the origins of the anthrax in letters based on the science alone.
"We find the scientific evidence to be consistent with their conclusions but not as definitive as stated," Gast said during a news conference in Washington, D.C. She emphasized that this case rested on the complex interface between science and the law enforcement investigation.
The panel convened in 2008 after the FBI asked the National Research Council to form a group to conduct an independent review of the scientific approaches, methodologies and analytical techniques used in its investigation and to determine whether the FBI reached appropriate scientific conclusions.
The FBI's investigation connected the letter materials to a flask in the lab of a researcher at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). The panel reviewed 9,600 pages of material before determining that it could not rule out that there were other sources of the anthrax spores.
Panelists whose expertise included microbiology, medicine, physical chemistry, biochemistry and forensic science were not asked to judge the law enforcement investigation.[12][13]
Professional Associations and Committee Memberships[edit]
Gast serves on a number of national advisory committees and boards, including the Board of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), is a member of the Academic Research Council for the Singapore Ministry of Education and the National Research Council Committee for Science, Technology, and the Law. She is a member of the AAAS, the American Chemical Society, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the American Physical Society.
In October 2012, Gast was elected to the board of directors of the Chevron Corporation, one of the world's leading integrated energy companies, with subsidiaries that conduct business worldwide. Gast will serve on the company's Audit Committee.
John Watson, chairman, Chevron Corporation said, "Dr. Gast has tremendous technical and industry expertise that will be a valuable addition to our board discussions. We look forward to welcoming her to the board."
Gast is a member of the U.S. Manufacturing Competitiveness Initiative Steering Committee, and in 2011, she joined other national leaders in Washington, D.C. for the 25th anniversary of the Council on Competitiveness, a day marked by the public release of the council's long-awaited strategy to improve American competitiveness and spur economic recovery through increased manufacturing.[14]
In 2012, the Council on Competitiveness held a two-day conference at Lehigh, titled "Leveraging the Talent Development Process to Drive Innovation." The conference was sponsored by the council, Lehigh, and Air Products.
Science and Security in a Post 9/11 World[edit]
In 2006, Gast co-chaired (with Jacques S. Gansler, Vice President for Research, University of Maryland) a non-partisan committee that produced an extensive report on "Science and Security in a Post 911 World: A Report Based on Regional Discussions Between the Science and Security Communities Committee on a New Government" (University Partnership for Science and Security) that was published by the National Academy of Sciences.[15]
Gast and Gansler co-authored an op ed in the July 11, 2008 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education, citing a concern that the unintended effects of restrictive federal government policies on scientific research include impeding the nation's ability to be economically competitive and defend itself against potential threats.
They wrote: "It's time for researchers and intelligence officials to work together and devise policies that strike the appropriate balance between science and security. Toward that end, our committee recommends that the federal government establish a standing entity, preferably a high-level Science and Security Commission chaired by the national-security adviser and the director of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy."[16]
Shovel-Ready Science?[edit]
In March 2009, Gast authored an op ed that appeared in Science magazine, in which she sounded a note of caution in the way that the short-term funding for scientific research contained in the U.S. economic stimulus package will be spent.
"Transformative change requires long-term investment in the nation's intellectual infrastructure," she wrote. 'Shovel-ready' makes sense for getting people to work on deferred infrastructure needs, but how does it relate to the scientific research and education programs needed to address the many challenges looming before us?"
Long-term research and education provide innovative, creative discoveries that spur transformative change, Gast noted. "The United States needs to start making the down payment on this exploration, knowing that the needed breakthroughs cannot be generated within the next two years. As science funding agencies begin awarding their one-time money, they must be mindful of the sustainability of their programs. The recent signing of the fiscal year 2009 omnibus bill with its 4.7% increase for agencies funding science and technology R&D is a welcome sign. Maintaining that momentum in the coming years will be essential."[17]
Awards and achievements[edit]
In recognition of her achievements, Gast has received numerous awards and honors including the NAS Award for Initiatives in Research, the Colburn Award of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher Scholar Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. She was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2001 and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2002. She was named an AAAS Fellow in early 2007.
In October, 2008, Gast was named one of the top 100 "Modern Era" engineers in the country, under the category of "Leadership" by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.[18]
In June 2010, Gast received an honorary degree from the University of Western Ontario at their 295th Convocation.[19]

By SUE SEIBERT
Many of you knew my mother, Rose Ficke Sparks. In fact quite a few of you were taught by her, either at the old junior high that used to be the first high school or at Houston Elementary School.
Mother died in 2005 at the age of 95. Last week I saw a photo of one of her best friends and co-educators, who just turned 101 – Fern Hudson. My goodness, life was different when they were born in the early 1900s. I know, I know, for you young people, you imagine life was different when I was born in the mid 1900s. And you're right, it was; but in the early 1900s there had been no World Wars. They lived through Prohibition and the Roaring Twenties.
Raf always says of Mother that she was a flapper (a woman who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to jazz, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behavior) and never got over it! You all might not have known Mother that way, but we did! No doubt about it!
Interestingly Mother kept two different diaries, one which we didn't see until after she died. The other she gave me to use to see if I wanted to keep a diary when I was in my teens. Neither she nor I kept it up, although she did better than I. I know writers are supposed to keep diaries, but I was never good at remembering to write daily.
Anyway, when I was a teen Mother had told me she had been married when she was a teenager to a high school sweetheart but that the marriage had been annulled. I didn't know until I read the second diary that she had been married to the fellow for several years before the divorce and that at one point her father had gone after him to bring him back to his "little girl" who loved him.

Rare Potter book has cast a spell on library
6:00pm Saturday 1st June 2013 in News By Katriona Ormiston
Buy this photo Dr Judith Priestman with the book at the Bodleian Library
A first edition Harry Potter book that broke auction records is causing a stir at a literature exhibition.
The rare copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which is annotated and illustrated by its author JK Rowling, is the centrepiece at the Bodleian Library event.
The first in the seven-strong series sold for £150,000 at Sotheby's two weeks ago.
It was couriered from the London auction the next day to the Oxford library in Broad Street in time for the event opening.
The book has been lent to the library by the anonymous phone bidder who bought it, and has been delighting schoolchildren from Oxfordshire on half-term holiday all week.
It is the first time the book has gone on display to the public.
Dr Judith Priestman, the exhibition's co-curator, said: "It is enormously popular I can tell you that – it is so noisy in here at the moment, you can hear the excitement.
"I've just seen a group of young boys holding each other's arms jumping up and down. "JK Rowling has written on it and done 22 of her own illustrations. They are her reflections, so they are really interesting.
"We are really lucky to have them here."
The exhibition, Magical Books: from the Middle Ages to Middle Earth, opened on May 23 and runs until October 27, but the Potter book is only on display until Monday, June 10.
It sits beside JRR Tolkien's original artwork for The Hobbit, CS Lewis' map of Narnia and manuscripts by Oxford-based author Philip Pullman.
Richard Ovenden, deputy to Bodley's librarian, said: "An exhibition on children's fan-tasy literature could not have been complete without Harry Potter, the series that has captivated the imagination of the latest generation of children."
The £150,000 paid is the highest for a Potter first edition. A JK Rowling manuscript of The Tales of Beedle the Bard sold for almost £2m in 2007.

Celebrity of Liberty: Brent BoschmanDecember 9, 2011
For those of you who read my blogs consistently, you know that I am a huge Liberty Hockey fan. For this week's "Celebrity of Liberty" I want to introduce you to Brent Boschman. Brent is a junior who has played as a forward on Liberty's Division 1 Club Hockey team for the past 3 years. Like many of the other hockey players at Liberty, he's from Canada and has been playing hockey since age 6. Currently, Brent is ranking number 13 in the entire ACHA league for number of points. Not only is he a very talented athlete, he also has a heart for the Lord and loves being surrounded by positive Christian influences here at Liberty.
Brent is from Ottawa, Canada which he informed me is the capital. He has 2 brothers who used to play hockey and his dad is a former NHL hockey player. In Canada, hockey is the equivalent to American Football in popularity. Before Brent came to Liberty, he went to a college in Canada for three years while playing junior hockey. When he finished that, he decided to look into playing in the States. Brent came to a Hockey Recruitment College for a Weekend and really fell in love with the place. While he was here for CFAW he had a great experience and decided he was going to come and play hockey for Liberty. He said that he couldn't imagine himself not playing hockey right now.
Brent was very honest in telling me that when he got to Liberty he was not really a Christian. When he came here it was actually an easy adjustment and through his prayer leaders and really great speakers, he really began to follow Christ. Through out his time at Liberty so far he has learnt a lot both spiritually and academically. Brent is studying right now to get a Sports Management degree and hopes to go on to work for the NHL with that. His dream job is to be a scout for the NHL; however, he knows that the job comes with a lot of sacrifices because of all the traveling involved. Right now he is just focusing on hockey at Liberty and graduating next year and hopefully the details of life after college will just fall into place.
Brent has played hockey for a long time and a huge influence on his life is his dad, Laurie Boschman. His dad played in the NHL for 14 years beginning at age 19. He now works for Hockey Ministries International, which is a Christian organization that holds Chapel services for the different NHL hockey teams. The coolest thing about that ministry in my opinion is that they minister in Sweden to hockey players there! Being a Christian Hockey player is definitely not a popular thing and there are only approximately 30 Christians in the NHL, which shows that there is a huge need for more Christian influences.
Something that is a tradition for all of the Hockey players to do at Liberty is to dye their hair bleach blond before the first home game to show team unity. Brent told me that his freshman year he was so excited to be recognized as a hockey player but now he does it for the unity of the team. Another tradition that hockey players all over the world participate in is
Movember, which is an organization that promotes awareness about prostate cancer. Movember is when guys grow mustaches the entire month of November. The guys on the hockey team are like a big family and really enjoy doing things to show that!
Something that I have noticed about all of the people I have interviewed this semester is that they all have grown spiritually after they came to Liberty. It is really encouraging for me to see that people from all different walks of life are looking to the Lord and seeking to glorify Him, whether it be through sports, music, or even dancing. I have not decided if I will continue the "Celebrity of Liberty" series next semester, but check back after Christmas break for more details!!

12oz bottle poured into a straight-sided pint glass. No bottling info...hopefully it's not too ancient.
A: Regrettably poured it straight down the middle and got huge head. Off-white, bubbles on the large side. Lots of lacing. Body is medium brown and slightly hazy.
S: Warm hazelnuts and butterscotch. The aroma REALLY intensifies if you swirl it around a bit. Some hops are there, but way in the background.
T: That's pretty darn nice. Not a bold brown ale by any means. Nice levels of hazelnut, toasted malt, caramel and some grassy hops.
M: Light body, somewhat watery texture, lively carb. Slight acidic finish. Easy to drink.
O: Not the bold brown that I anticipated, but that's just fine. This was unique, nicely executed and a pleasure to drink.

Had on tap in a pint glass.
Poured a slightly hazy reddish brown with barely any head. This I attribute to it being served in an extremely cold glass.
Nuts immediately on the nose along with some milk chocolate and toast. Honestly it smells almost exactly like Nutella.
Flavor carries over more of the milk chocolate and nuts along with some biscuit and toast. Maybe some caramel and toffee thrown in there too. Bitterness is moderate and the finish is clean. Really not too sweet at all.
Overall, an extremely enjoyable beer and one that would be great with dessert. It's great that it is not too sweet with the presence of the chocolate and hazelnut. One I need to have more often.

Wow, let me repeat that, wow. I have just found the same experience that I had when I first bit into a piece of toast with Nutella on it. For a fan of the hazelnut, this is the equivalent of a finding dark brown gold in a little 12 oz bottle. If you like a beer with a distinguished nut taste, look no further. You will not find a better beer. Did I mention this beer is good.

There IS a God!
Appearance: When I first cracked the bottle open, suds spewed everywhere as if I had popped champagne. Not a great first impression, but I quickly forgave it. I poured it in a glass and got a nice and creamy tan head, and a beer with a deep brown color. Nice.
Smell: Heavy malts, caramel, and obviously, hazelnut. There's no hop presence in the smell or taste with this one, I can say that right now. That's to be expected though.
Taste/feel: It's just what you'd expect from a quality hazelnut flavored beer. It has a nice, deep, rich hazelnut and malt flavor. The aftertaste consists of coffee and maybe even some chocolate in the background. Pretty complex, and pretty damn delicious as well. The feel suits the beer well -- medium carbonation and feel, making this an easy drinking beer.
My taste buds liked Hazelnut Brown from Sam Adams, so I decided to try this one out, and I couldn't be happier with that choice ... suddenly one of my favorite beers. I don't think I could drink more than one pint in a session, but good lord this is fantastic for "desserty beer" fans.

Pours smooth dark brown with a small beige head.
Big malty nose, mild sweetness, woody and nutty, plenty of hazelnut
Similar to nose with big maltiness, roasted hazelnuts, buttery.
This is jam packed with hazelnut. Good change of pace in the world of brown ales.

Bought a bottle of this from M & R Liquors in Manchester, CT. Poured into a Baird pint glass. Mysterious cloudy brown hue. A playful hazelnut and maple syrup nose hints at the powerful hazelnut and hop flavor in the brew. Silky smooth caramel aftertaste with a bit of bitter toffee as well. This is an amazing fall/winter brew that matches with the changing leaves outside, making me reminisce on the whole experience. As far as brown ales go, this is one of the best i've ever had, not being overly hazelnut-driven and definitely sticking to its category. Definitely a recommendation!

Next time you buy an album by your favorite band or purchase the hottest selling book, be warned — you may be considered a gang member.
If you wear the same T-shirt, same colors and have meetings of like-minds, you may just find yourself on next year's FBI Gang Threat Assessment list.
Years ago, the Grateful Dead had a legion of diehard fans that developed their own lifestyle and followed the band as they criss-crossed the country. They wore the signature garb and typically reeked of Petroli oil or marijuana — and often times both. Maybe they should have been persecuted for their musical taste, but to label them as a gang and a threat to the average citizen would be an outrageous assumption, let alone a wildly broad generalization.
Unfortunately, the same mindset that we would consider inappropriate in the previous scenario is the seed of a current situation facing the infamous rap group Insane Clown Posse. The over the top, cartoon nightmares of the Detroit horror-core group have been labeled as gang activity. Yes, a musical group who has sold millions upon millions of albums and was once part of the Disney Corp. have been firmly placed in the cross-hairs of the FBI.
The band and its fans have been lumped together with The Aryan Brotherhood, Bloods and Crips. According to a 2011 report by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Juggalos, as the fans of ICP are known, "are a loosely-organized hybrid gang" and are "forming more organized subsets and engaging in more gang-like criminal activity."
I will admit that there are a certain members of the Juggalo community who function below the line of dignity and honesty. There also has been a level of unruly and even criminal behavior, but nothing that rises to the level of organized crime, drug trafficking and gun running as proposed by the FBI's report.
Our government officials have had trouble differentiating between terrorists and law-abiding citizens in our nation's airports. Now it seems that they are having difficulty separating what is a teenage musical fad and hardened criminal activity. Additionally, four states have adopted the belief that Juggalos are a gang based on the FBI's report, thus turning a band T-shirt into gang material. If you wore an Insane Clown Posse T-shirt while on probation or parole you would be in violation of the terms of your release in some circumstances. Yes, in America you could be sent back to prison for wearing a certain T-shirt.
You can hate the band and their fans for being outcasts. You can dis the band about their musical style or claim that they are talentless hacks, but to discriminate against any subset of misunderstood outsiders would be criminal. The Juggalos are a family, a close-knit group who look out for one another and have an impressive amount of loyalty. This devotion is perhaps what startles authorities. After all, humans live in fear of what they don't understand and destroy what they don't comprehend.
Believing that this is a gang is much like believing the earth is flat and that at the edge of the sea are great creatures that will devour your ship. Much like the conviction that other people's system of beliefs are bad and only you have grasp the golden ring of enlightenment.
To remedy the situation, the Insane Clown Posse and their record label have announced they have lawyered-up and are entertaining the idea of suing the FBI. They have also launched the website juggalosfightback.com, which is dedicated to providing legal support to "anyone who have suffered any negative consequence from a government representative, including law enforcement, border patrol, airline security, or other local, state and federal government agencies or employee as a result of your status as a Juggalo." All the service are being offered free of charge.
Joe Bruce of the group said, "At first I thought this was a joke and I laughed about it." He went on to explain how he felt that the stigma attached to them from this could destroy everything they have built over the last 20 years. He also stated, "We are doing this to let the Juggalos know that we care. If we don't do anything about it, five years from now, Juggalos will not be known as this family of love who stands against fashion and trends and does its own thing — it will be known as a gang."
"We are doing the only American thing we can do, sue!" added Joe Utsler, also of the band.
I would like to quote one of the biggest gang leaders of all time (by FBI standards) by asking, can "we give peace a chance?" And remember, Sheetz sells Faygo, so don't buy any or you might be gang related.

The Eurozone Bailout: Prepare for What's Next
Tags: eurozone bailout
Editor's Note:
Money Morning
's Keith Fitz-Gerald is constantly fielding questions about the looming Eurozone bailout. We wanted to share with you this Q&A session with Keith on what you need to know about the debt crisis. You can also see more of Keith's analysis in the video below, filmed during a visit today to
Fox Business
' "Varney & Co." program.]
Q: What will happen in Europe?
Greece chickens out. The G20 has its hands out and wants to have Germany's standard of living. Germany should leave the EU and preserve its economy. There is no reason it should sacrifice itself to pay for the malfeasance and incompetence of everybody else.
Politicians will kick the can down the road while hoping rumors of future action will carry the day.
Loading the player ...
Q: Will we get a bailout?
Will we get a bailout? - I think it's a foregone conclusion. The only question is whether or not we go through the front door or the back door.
I believe the Federal Reserve will get involved ultimately to bailout the European banking system, which will grind to a halt. This has significant ramifications at the very highest political levels in Europe and the United States, especially with the U.S. heading into elections and approaching a repeat of the debt debates.
Q: Would I own stocks going into this weekend when so much is on the line?
Yes. No question about it.
At this stage of the game, bailing out is the wrong thing to do. Many good companies will get put on sale and history shows that you want to buy into chaos rather than run the other way.
Q: Finally, what will this global chaos do to gold prices?
I expect
gold prices
to drop initially, perhaps even sharply, as trading houses raise cash. But the moment a bailout is announced, watch gold head the other way. The only question at this point is the order: drop first, bailout later or bailout first, correct, and rise later.
Ultimately gold will resume its place at the head of the class. I still expect $2,000 an ounce or higher within the next 12 months.

Whats up everyone?
My deck is about 5 years or so old now and I'm tired of staining it. The first stain lasted about 2 years , really 1 and the second year it looked like crap. So I redid it and it came out ok. I used a clear Stain sealer toned as natural cedar. It looks good the first year then the 2nd it gets ruff looking. My deck does sit in the sun all day with no shade at all.
This time around I decided to use a product I found called Deck Restore. It's like a truck spray in bed liner , thick and textured. I put my first coat on after I redid all the railings with a solid stain sealer. That took 2 days and 2 coats.
The deck looks cool and I hope it lasts what they say it will which is about 8 to 10 years. Once this wears out I'm going Treks , screw all this work to keep your deck nice. Staining your deck sucks.
I'll post some pic's later.

Admission Denied for Failure to 'Address Criminal Past'
A state appeals panel has refused to admit to the practice of law a man who was involved in a burglary during which an elderly woman was murdered, ruling that although he turned his life around after getting out of prison in 1985, he has failed to take responsibility for his crimes.

The Good Samaritan according to Christopher Hitchens
by Greg Krehbiel on 23 February 2012
A friend recommended a debate between Christopher Hitchens and Al Sharpton on Hitchens's god is not great. I listened to it while I was doing some mindless work.
There are a few interesting points, which I may post later, but for today I'd like to comment on Hitchens's take on the parable of the Good Samaritan.
Sharpton kept attacking Hitchens on morality — e.g., if there is no God, then what makes right right and wrong wrong? Does the strongest or most powerful person get to decide? Do we vote on it every four years? Does it change from time to time?
Hitchens's reply is that people don't need religion for morality. The Good Samaritan was, according to Hitchens, acting from "no other prompting" than "elementary human solidarity."
In a similar way, he says it's silly to imagine that the Israelites didn't know anything about morality until Moses came down from Sinai with the 10 commandments. (I've heard Hitchens several times and this is a regular part of his material.)
This is a very silly argument for many reasons.
First, as a literary matter, it misrepresents the situation in both of those texts. Samaritans had a common religious heritage with the Jews up to a certain point, so the idea that a Samaritan had no religious moral instruction is absurd. And the Israelites also had traditions about God before they got to Sinai.
Second, Sharpton's point is not that people have no idea of right and wrong until they get religious instruction. His point is that our moral rules are either based on some objective moral reality that exists apart from our own opinions and feelings, or it's up for grabs. Hitchens never responds to that problem.
(I should note in passing that it's at least conceivable for there to be an "objective moral reality" even if there is no God.)
Third, how does Hitchens know what was motivating the Samaritan?
Hitchens attempts another response to Sharpton's argument by saying that our species would not have survived if we didn't have the need to take care of others.
Okay. Maybe that's so or maybe it's not, but it doesn't answer the question.
Hitchens loves to toss around moral rules and call things wicked and such, but when Sharpton asks him to justify these rules — where do they come from, how does he know what's wicked or what isn't, and why should anybody care about Hitchens's take on morality? — he has no real answer.
Why shouldn't we vote on what's right and what's wrong every once in a while? If our moral rules are just instincts that served our ancestors …. Well, we're in a different situation now. Maybe we should change them.
And on Hitchens's assumptions, if the guy with the most bombs comes along and decrees a new set of moral rules, on what basis will Hitchens disagree with them, or say he doesn't have that right?
It's a fair criticism, but the dirty little secret is that you can turn that criticism around on Sharpton as well.
Let's say there is an objective moral order. Let's say God organized the universe in such a way that some things really are right while other things really are wrong, and that we have an instinct that points us towards those rules.
Now the guy with the most bombs comes along and decrees his 13 new commandments. Is the situation any different? If the mass of humanity rises up and says these new commandments aren't consistent with our moral instincts (that, to one degree or another, reflect the objective moral reality God built into the universe), do they have a better argument than they would have if they just all said "we don't like these new rules"?
The situations sound similar, but I think there is an important difference. On Hitchens's theory, our common moral instincts are just happenstance that helped us survive in some remote past — which was, of course, a very different situation. It makes sense that there might come a time we would need to fight against those instincts and adopt new rules that work better in the new world.
It goes without saying that the new rules would feel uncomfortable when we compare them with the arbitrary rules we inherited from our ancestors — who were hunter gatherers in a non-technological world. But so what? It's time to replace those rules with smarter ones.
But on Sharpton's theory, human moral instincts would actually have some meaning, so if the new rules contradicted our moral instincts, that would be relevant.

Bulldog World Series Begins Wednesday At Dudy Noble
October 26, 2010
While former Mississippi State standout Mitch Moreland and his Texas Rangers teammates are prepping for Wednesday night's World Series opener against the San Francisco Giants, coach John Cohen's Baseball Bulldogs open their four-game Bulldog World Series with a 3:30 p.m. game at Dudy Noble Field. The intrasquad series wraps up more than six weeks of fall baseball practice at Mississippi State.
Game times are set for 4 p.m. Friday, 12 p.m. Saturday and 3:30 p.m. Sunday. If necessary, a special tiebreaker will be utilized for a playoff Sunday to determine whether the Maroon team or the Gray squad will feast Monday night on steaks or hot dogs at a Bulldog World Series payoff dinner.
A pair of right-handers are expected to draw starting mound duty in Wednesday afternoon's series opener --- Holmes Community College transfer Brandon McHenry from Madison, Miss., for the Maroons and freshman Tanner Gaines from Baldwyn, Miss., for the Grays.
The games are set to go eight innings and are open to the public. Pitchers during the series are restricted to no more than 20 pitches per inning and 70 pitches per game.
Mississippi State's 44-player fall baseball roster was divided in a draft conducted by the eight senior players and revealed to the team Monday night during an NBA/NFL-style draft announcement program in the Colvard Student Union Building.

I write about career topics, helping people maximize their potential.
We've all been hearing and reading about how improving education and the status/equality of women is a critical step for international development. As Isobel Coleman states in her article, The Global Glass Ceiling: Why Empowering Women is Good for Business, "When women are educated and can earn and control income, a number of good results follow: infant mortality declines, child health and nutrition improve, agricultural productivity rises, population growth slows, economies expand, and cycles of poverty are broken."
But narrowing the education, pay, and equal rights gap for women will take more than just foreign aid and help from human rights movements. Ms. Coleman says it will require the active involvement of the world's largest companies.
"Not only does the global private sector have vastly more money than governments and nongovernmental organizations, but it can wield significant leverage with its powerful brands and by extending promises of investment and employment." How can corporations participate in empowering women in emerging markets? Here are Ms. Coleman's five principles that will help guide company efforts:
As companies seek to expand sales in emerging economies, Ms. Coleman believes "they will find that gender disparities pose an obstacle to doing business" and that "the sooner the private sector works to overcome gender inequality, the better off the world – and companies' own bottom lines – will be." Here are a few examples of companies focused on empowering women:
What is your company doing to help empower women in emerging markets? Please share your story and recommendations in the "Comments" section and help others learn from your experience.
The message that big business needs to be a partner in empowering women in emerging countries is an effective strategy. But there are other options that can work in concert with big business' efforts. In particular, I'd point out that readers could contribute to KIVA and loan female entrepreneurs in developing countries micro loans to help them boot strap a business. Efforts both large and small can have tremendous impact on changing lives. Loraine Antrim, Core Ideas Communication
