For the Star Beacon
Mike Smith is still looking for answers, although the list of objectives has changed in part. Now, after absorbing a 69-43 drubbing at the hands of North, the Premier Athletic Conference title is no longer a very realistic possibility.
The Madison girls' loss to the host Rangers on Saturday night was their fifth defeat in seven games. With the Blue Streaks at 7-3 in the league, Geneva at 8-1 and all others having three or more losses, and with the Eagles' only PAC games remaining against South, Lakeside and Riverside, it would take a very unexpected turn of events for Geneva not to win the conference title outright.
With that being true, Madison (11-6 overall) needs to focus on the rest of the remaining regular-season slate, on maximizing its standing in the league and for preparing for the Division I tournament.
"We're mentally beat up right now and physically beat up," Smith, Madison's coach, said. "And I think it was a game of confidence. They came out and played with all the confidence in the world. They had something to play for: We beat them the first time (56-43 on Dec. 15). We're banged up; our leading scorer (Taylor Bland) is out, and three or four of our other girls are playing injured. It didn't help our mental thing."
After leading 27-18 at halftime, the Rangers (11-6, 6-4), who are close to a school record in 3-point field goals, canned nine of their 11 trifectas after the intermission. Lynsey Englebrecht nailed five treys among her 24 points, and added nine rebounds and four steals. Lexi Balausky had 14 points, four assists and four blocked shots and Steph Chlad eight points, 11 boards and seven assists.
"We didn't come out ready to play." Smith said. "We shot (69) times (hitting 16). We just didn't make shots and they did."
North was 26-of-56 for 46.4 percent, including the 11 triples.
"We know they're going to shoot 3's," Smith said. "They shoot more 3's than any team that I know of."
"Obviously they're a different team without Taylor," North coach Paul Force said. "They still have some athleticism and some scoring ability. I thought our girls did a nice job defensively of keying in on their number one, their number two and their number three scoring options, and making the other girls take shots."
Nine-straight points extended a 9-7 edge to 18-7 early in the second quarter. North pushed to 27-14 before Julie Bruening (8 points, 13 rebounds), who took Bland's place in the starting lineup, scored two baskets for the 27-18 count.
The Rangers ended the third period with a 12-2 surge to stretch a 36-26 advantage to 48-28. Then they opened the fourth frame with five consecutive points, making it 12 overall and a 53-28 bulge. Moments later, seven more unanswered points made it 60-31.
"The first half we started out a little bit slow as far as shooting the basketball," Force said. "I felt like we didn't play a great half and we were still up nine points.
"The ball movement in the second half was pretty good; our spacing was good. We found the open person and the threes started going in."
Dana Appelfeller led the Blue Streaks with nine points. Abbie Trivisonno added eight and also grabbed eight boards, while Julie Gavorski stole the ball five times and Melanie Primer blocked two shots.
One play that Force thought was exemplary of his team's hustle that he related had been absent in the prior meeting between the two teams came very early in the second half when Trivisonno stole the ball and appeared headed for an easy layup. Chlad chased her down and got a hand on the ball from behind as Trivisonno was going up, causing the ball to go awry.
"Madison played hard; they're physical," Force said. "They played pretty darn good defense. But when we find the open person and when shots are going in, it's difficult to defend that many players that can shoot the basketball."
Mackenzy Schaefer had a nine-point night for North.
"We've got to get back to work," Smith said. "They played good D, but it wasn't great D. We just didn't shoot the ball well. They shot the ball really well."

The above photo was from a show I played in Zaandam, The Netherlands in January. I was on stage and at the time those things were shooting right past my eyes as I was setting up to make noise. When I read the following story I got on my knees and thanked god I still have my vision:
Dozens of partygoers at an outdoor rave near Moscow have been partially blinded after a laser light show burned their retinas, say Russian health officials.
Moscow city health department officials say that 12 cases of laser blindness were recorded at the Central Ophthalmological Clinic in the city. The daily newspaper Kommersant reports that another 17 victims have registered at another hospital in the centre of the capital. – newscientist.com
This also reminds me of the countless high powered home made lasers I've seen at events. Of course I still want my own! Check these out: www.wickedlasers.com

On Saturday Feb 2nd, 2013, rock singer Eddie Money (born Edward Joseph Mahoney in 1949 from Brooklyn, NY) and his band performed at the Paramount Theater in Rutland Vermont. It was quite a show, I'll tell you that! He hit success in the 1970s and 1980s and I've got to say, 30 years later, he's still got it! This is a man who loves to perform and is clearly still good at it!
Over 500 people walked through the doors at 8:00 pm. "Money, Money, Money" by Abba played through the speakers amping the crowd up for Money's upcoming show! Opening the show with "Baby Hold Onto Me", (topping the charts in the 1970′s), Money was dressed to kill in a suit and he sure was ready to rock! The acoustics throughout the entire show were amazing!
I was quite impressed with him as a performer. Some bands just aren't as good live as they are in the studio. That is a fact. Eddie Money and his band are not one of those bands. Amazing both in the studio and performing live on stage it really was a good time. He even he broke out his harmonica and totally got in tune with the band.
It didn't stop there! He also broke out his saxophone a few times throughout the show! He is one smooth sax player! You could tell the crowd really was enjoying this spectacular performance. Some hits he performed included; "Walk on water," "The love in your eyes"and "I think I'm in love". The band also broke out and did a remarkable and fun cover of the song "You really got a hold on me" By the Beatles! Money added a little bit of his own style to this hit and was really able to get the crowd going.
Towards the end of the show was the moment people had been waiting for. The performance to "Take me home tonight". It was pretty remarkable. Closing the show he really got the crowd shaking and snapping their fingers with "Shakin".
Watching Eddie perform definitely makes one appreciate music and all the work that goes on to put the show together. This was not a show about glitz and glamor, no special effects, no absolutely crazy light shows…just the MUSIC.
After the show I met him for a quick moment outside of the lobby and was even able to snag a picture with him. He is actually very kind and humble. He was just so down to earth and seemed eager to talk to his fans, which I thought was pretty cool.

3 Worst Cities on Earth
Iraq, Chad, and Côte d'Ivoire round out bottom of Mercer's quality of life list.
Mercer, a global consulting firm, released the results of their annual quality of life survey on Tuesday. The study evaluates 221 cities, ranked against New York City as the baseline, in an effort to provide companies with information about where to open offices and how much to pay employees on international assignments.
[View a slideshow of three worst cities on Earth.]
And while the Mercer list can help a CEO decide where to send favored employees on the cushiest assignments, it also shows places that might qualify for hazard pay.
Unsurprisingly, Baghdad, Iraq, is the least safe city in the world after nearly nine years of war and over 100,000 civilian deaths in the country since 2003. Once the shining capital of the Islamic world, Baghdad has been in a state of upheaval and civil strife, and travel to the city is not advised, the survey says.
Coming in at a close second, N'Djamena, Chad, is another place to avoid. Like Iraq, authorities advise people to never go to Chad at all, but visitors are allowed under certain circumstances in N'Djamena, the country's capital. The city played host to a battle that displaced as many as 30,000 people just three years ago, and it has been plagued by civil conflicts for nearly half a century.
Not be outdone by its African neighbor to the west, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, is the third least safe city in the world. Unlike Baghdad and N'Djamena, Abidjan does play host to tourists—albeit of the most enterprising kind. The city boasts nightlife and beaches, but the streets are generally unsafe after dark and the water on the city's southern coast is known to be treacherous for swimmers.

Confusion, madness reign supreme in Australian cricket
By Ryan O'Connell, 20 Nov 2012 Ryan O'Connell is a Roar Expert

Related coverage
It's been a confusing couple of days in Australian cricket. After reading some of the comments in the media, one can only assume that a temporary case of madness has descended over the sport.
First of all, we had Cricket Australia's High Performance Manager, Pat Howard, and Test captain Michael Clarke stating that all-rounder Shane Watson would need to be fit enough to bowl in order to be selected for the second Test against South Africa.
However, Watson has since confirmed that he won't be bowling in Adelaide, yet confusingly said that he maintains hope he would still be selected for the Adelaide Test after rejoining the squad this week.
Even more confusing, the Sydney Morning Herald reported that Selection Chairman John Inverarity stated Watson could play as a specialist batsmen, provided he could prove his fitness. This obviously dramatically contradicts what Howard and Clarke said.
It certainly seems that not everyone is on the same page at Cricket Australia.
Yet it's not just those within the inner sanctum that have been saying some strange things.
Respected cricket writer Malcolm Conn suggested that Watson is not good enough to be selected as a top six batsmen for Australia, and that Rob Quiney should therefore retain his position in the team.
Come again?
Before I launch my spirited defence of Watson, let me first clarify that if Watson cannot bowl due to his calf strain, then I don't believe he should be selected. But not because he isn't one of Australia's top six batsmen, but because it clearly means he's not 100% healthy.
If there are question marks over your ability to send down a few overs, then you are obviously not 100% fit.
As a top order batsmen, it is expected that you should be sufficiently healthy enough to bat an entire day – something I struggle to believe you could do if you have not completely overcome your injury concerns.
However, I'm no medical specialist, so I spoke to respected Sydney physiotherapist John Panagopoulos from Active Physiotherapy.
Panagopoulos has worked with numerous cricket teams around the world during Twenty20 tournaments, along with having an affiliation with the Sydney Cricket Club.
Understandably, Panagopoulos can't diagnose Watson from media reports. However, he did tell me that it's reasonable to think that if Watson can't bowl, then he can't be 100% fit, and may have issues running, sprinting in the field, and turning quickly when batting.
So I have no drama in Watson remaining out of the side if he isn't fit enough to bowl. But only because it suggests he's not fit enough to bat and/or field either, especially for a five day match.
However, that doesn't translate to Watson suddenly not being one of Australia's best six batsmen.
Especially when the player nominated as a better candidate was Rob Quiney. I'm sorry, but by any calculation, that is sheer madness.
I thought Quiney appeared comfortable during his short time at the crease at the Gabba, and Conn said he believed he deserved another chance because he looked 'polished'. I have no idea when 'comfortable' and 'polished' became the standard on which batsmen were judged.
Without being rude, I think it's important to remember that Quiney scored a measly nine runs. Yet you would think he scored 99 the way some experts are suggesting he should take Watson's spot.
I have nothing against Quiney. I enjoy watching him bat, and was very pleased he got selected, for he thoroughly deserved it. However, he's simply not in Watson's class.
Quiney averages 37 in first class cricket. Watson averages 44. Quiney averages 9 in Test cricket. Watson averages 37. And let's not even discuss Watson's awards, accolades and accomplishments at the elite level.
Case closed. Nothing more to see here. Jog along.
You could argue that Watson doesn't convert his starts into big hundreds, and I would agree. You can state that Watson has only averaged 25 runs in five Tests over the last 12 months, and you would be right.
But if you tell me that Quiney is a better batsmen or more accomplished than Watson, I think we're going to have a serious disagreement.
I have no issue with Quiney taking Watson's spot if the latter is unhealthy, but that doesn't mean the Victorian is a better batsmen.
Rule Watson out if he's injured, but don't claim he's not one of Australia's best batsmen. His record may not be exceptional, but his class is undeniable and Australia do not have an abundance of talented batsmen at present.
While on the subject of madness, riddle me this, those that say Watson should be fit enough to bowl to get selected, but are happy to see him bat number three if he is: if Shane Watson truly is not one of Australia's top six batsmen, what the hell is he doing batting at first drop, arguably the most important position in the team?
Just to round off the madness, last week Mitchell Johnson stated that he was ready for a Test recall in Adelaide.
I respect Johnson's positive outlook and I love that the fact he still has ambitions to make it back into the Test arena, but to be blunt, he's a fair way down the fast bowling pecking order at present.
There is nothing to suggest that if Johnson finds some consistent form and takes a bagful of wickets that he couldn't wear the baggy green again. But for him to suggest it could have been for the second Test this week is slightly embarrassing, along with a little disrespectful to the many bowlers currently ranked ahead of him.
They say cricket is funny old game, and it's certainly been a funny old couple of days.

Punter is the last person who should be saying that sort of thing. He's played injured often enough. He did it in the last World Cup and in the Ashes 2010. I guess 100% fitness is always more important when you are talking about someone else.

Top six or not is a tough call, regardless he is in the top ten and with his excellent bowling added in that makes him a certain selection.
If he's not fit enough to bowl he's not fit enough to bat for 6 hours and therefore not fit enough to play. I like the not gambling on someone who isn't 100% fit stance.

Red Kev,
Re Watson being fit enough to bat for six hours – when has he ever done that? Which is precisely why he should never bat in the top five – let alone the top three.

I'd play him at no.6 too, but he has to at least have the capability of batting an entire day.

Yeah Brett, Crash Craddock was certainly interesting last night, made somebig calls.
Ryan, ideally, where do you think Watson should bat? I would like to see him at 6 personally, a 50 is sometimes more vital down there than opening. All he does opening is score 50s and run partners out (poor old Kat, enjoy Lancashire!)

He's just about the best player of fast bowling in the country so it has to be in the top 3.

Actually, batting him at the top order gives him plenty of time to rest – seeing as he never comes close to carrying his bat through an innings!

If i was watto i would be extremely upset at being discarded for Quiney because i can't bowl.
I've spent the last 4 years being your best player. I single handedly carried you to the world cup semis in September and now your putting ahead a guy who made 9 because too often I've made 99. Clarke aside who has batter better than me. We carried Ponting, Hussey, Cowan, Haddin for how long?
Yes if i was watto i would say its all about the team but would definately remember all this next time an IPL contract comes around.

If thats the case fair enough but someone needs to tell Watson rather than having him declared fit to bat and compete with Quiney

If the dentist drill makes you quiver just thinking about it, you may be glad to hear what a growing number of dentists are turning to for their patients...a pill that patients take one hour before their dental work. It's part of what's called "conscious sedation."
"You lay in the chair and while you're on these drugs you have very little memory of what went on so that you don't wake up and go, 'wow I was just at the dentist for 4 hours.' All you know is that you're kind of sleepy and you had a nap and you really don't remember much," said Dr. Peter Silver.
The patient is not asleep, so they can respond to questions but while totally relaxed. The American Dental Association says sedation dentistry is not for you if you have heart problems, uncontrolled diabetes, are undergoing chemotherapy or are pregnant. But if you are a good candidate, the ADA says you might want to find out if your dentist is certified to practice conscious sedation dentistry.

TERRE HAUTE — A 30-year-old man in a wheelchair sang the "Slinky song" as kids stood by the pool in swimsuits, wiggling and giggling along, mimicking the famous toy.
But once in the water, the motions came together as 20 area kids got to see how Dave Denniston became a world champion.
"If not the best, one of the best breaststrokers in the world," Terre Haute South Vigo High School coach Jeff Thompson said as Denniston himself got in the water to show the kids how it's done.
Denniston was an Auburn University standout, World Championship swimmer and Olympic hopeful before a sledding accident in 2005 broke his back and paralyzed his legs.
But the lifelong athlete wasn't about to surrender, and with a spirit Thompson described as "contagious," Denniston has continued swimming and competed on the U.S.A. Paralympic Swim Team in Beijing last September.
"I think it's an incredible experience for our kids to see someone like Dave," Thompson said in the midst of a swim clinic hosted in the school's pool. "Dave has a gift."
"The key to the breaststroke is learning to use your body first without your arms and legs," Denniston told the kids, ranging in age from 8 to 17.
Then, placing his left hand on his chest and his right on his back, Denniston snaked to and fro, singing about the Slinky.
"You're never going to get a date to the prom that way," he joked as the kids wiggled along in a wannabe lambada dance.
But once in the water, the song's rhythm and flow made sense as the swimmers snaked across the pool.
Back and forth for sets of 25 and 100 yards, Denniston incorporated more aspects to the body movements, up to his "favorite drill of all time," the accordion.
Placing one hand over the other, Denniston thrust the triangle off his forehead as his body's arc rose and fell, thrusting itself across the water.
And in his case, without the use of his legs.
"Right now you guys look like chickens in a barnyard," he joked, putting his face into the water to demonstrate breathing techniques. "Half of you look like chickens on Red Bull."
Jon Karr, swim coach at Avon High School and Denniston's former Auburn teammate, said his friend "still has the knowledge. He still has the technique."
Once upon a time, as a then-sophomore at Arapahoe High School, Denniston swam the 100-yard breaststroke in 57.1 seconds. At Auburn, he was swimming it in 52 seconds, finishing the 200-yard breaststroke in 1 minute, 53 seconds.
According to the school's wall of plaques, the Terre Haute South Vigo pool record for the 100-yard breaststroke was set in 2007 at 59.84 by Addison Bray.
"Dave's an amazing swimmer," Karr said, watching him in the water with kids who seemed to be enjoying themselves enough to forget they were exercising.
And in the water, with Denniston's legs weightless beneath him, the unknowing observer wouldn't recognize his disability.
When asked how Denniston handled the shoulder tendonitis from hauling his 6-foot, 3-inch frame through the water with just his upper body, Karr grinned. "Ice it afterwards and enjoy the pain. That's the kind of guy he is," he said.

"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul." Ps 143: 8
ISRAEL'S PRIME MINISTER CALLS FOR EARLY ELECTIONS: PM Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party has introduced a bill to dissolve parliament and advance the elections to this year from next, taking advantage of the Israeli leader's commanding lead in public-opinion polls and a fractured opposition. The early vote, which Israeli media said would be held on Sept. 4, is one of several developments that have scrambled calculations about the timing of a possible Israeli pre-emptive strike against Iran's nuclear program. Netanyahu's Likud Party is forecast to get 30 of the 120 seats in Israel's parliament and a 12-seat advantage over the next largest party if the elections are held in early September, according to a poll published this week. Likud now has 27 seats. Likud's election bill is likely to pass. (Wall Street Journal) Continue to pray for Israel's critical up and coming elections. Pray for the safety of the Jewish state during the interim period leading up to the establishment of a new parliament.
EARLY ELECTIONS WOULD NOT ALTER IRAN PLANS: Rifts in PM Netanyahu's coalition over military conscription and budget cuts have prompted parties to mobilize to bring forward the ballot a year ahead of schedule. That has raised questions about whether an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities might now be shelved due to government reluctance to send potential voters to bomb shelters. On Wednesday Defense Minister Ehud Barak assured the Israeli public that the prospect of an imminent election in Israel will not affect its strategy for tackling Iran's nuclear program, including plans for a possible preemptive war. "Elections will not affect deliberations of the professional echelon in everything regarding the Iranian issue," Barak said (Ynet)
BARAK: NUCLEAR IRAN MORE DANGEROUS THAN STRIKING IRAN: Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned on Monday that as long as Iran poses a threat to Israel with its nuclear program, all options are on the table. Speaking with journalists Barak said, "I believe it is well understood in Washington as well as in Jerusalem that as long as there is an existential threat to our people, all options to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons should remain on the table. I have enough experience to know that a military option is not a simple one," Barak added. "It would be complicated with certain associated risks. But a radical Islamic Republic of Iran with nuclear weapons would be far more dangerous both for the region and, indeed, the world." (AP)
IRAN UPPERMOST PRIORITY IN US PREPARATIONS FOR WAR: War planning for Iran is the most pressing contingency scenario for the US military. Central Command believes it can destroy or significantly degrade Iran's conventional armed forces in about three weeks using air and sea strikes, according to a defense source. Such strikes are an option in response to Tehran's striking US and international ships in the Persian Gulf and attempting to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The Pentagon now is conducting a surge of forces in the Gulf. It is maintaining two aircraft carriers in the region and is increasing the number of mine-detection ships and helicopters. The Air Force recently dispatched its premier penetrating strike fighter, the F-22 Raptor, to a base in the United Arab Emirates, across the Gulf from Iran (Daily Alert)
EGYPT FOILS IRANIAN PLOT TO ASSASSINATE SAUDI AMBASSADOR: An attempt to kidnap and assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Cairo by a group of Iranians was thwarted on Tuesday. According to Muhammad Jamal Adin, who serves as the legal adviser to the Saudi embassy in Egypt, a group of Iranians tried to kidnap Ambassador Ahmad Qatan, days after the same group undertook to break into the Saudi embassy. Adin said that in the aftermath of the attempts, the embassy would be shut down along with the Saudi consulates in Alexandria and Suez. Egyptian authorities arrested three Iranian citizens who plotted to assassinate Qatan. Saudi Arabia and Egypt have agreed not to release the details of steps that will be taken in order to safeguard the ambassador. Iran has made previous attempt to harm Saudi diplomats, most prominently when a group of Iranians broke into the Saudi embassy in Tehran in 1980. (Ha'aretz)
DOZENS OF DEATHS CONTINUE IN SYRIA DESPITE CEASE-FIRE PLAN: Dozens have been killed by government forces in Syria so far this week despite attempts to enforce a UN-brokered "ceasefire plan," an ongoing issue that the arrival two weeks ago of an advance team of 24 international peacekeeping observers has not been able to change. The peace plan authored by UN and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan was supposed to have gone into effect 21 days ago. But UN peacekeeper force chief Herve Ladsous confirmed this week that government forces are still using heavy artillery against the opposition in civilian neighborhoods. On Tuesday, at least 35 people were killed by Syrian security forces across the country. Last Thursday, activists said 70 people were killed in a bombing that took place in the city of Hama. More than 9,000 Syrian civilians have died since the uprising began in March 2011, according to UN estimates. (INN)
OLYMPICS OFFICIAL WEBSITE CALLS JERUSALEM CAPITAL OF PALESTINE: Monday morning, the official website of the 2012 London Olympics portrayed Israel as a country without a capital, while Jerusalem was listed as the capital of "Palestine." The website now appears to have been adjusted to show Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as well. The correction may have been the result of a request by online advocacy group My Israel to its members, to demand that Jerusalem be listed as Israel's capital. Last week, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) rejected a request from the families of the Israeli athletes who were murdered by Arab terrorists at the 1972 Munich Games to organize an official commemoration on their behalf. Ankie Spitzer, whose husband, Andre, was one of the 11 Israelis killed, said the IOC did not want to enrage Arab countries by mentioning the tragedy at high profile events. "They tell us that the Arab delegations will get up and leave, to which I said: 'It's okay; if they don't understand what the Olympics are all about, let them leave,'" Spitzer said. (INN)
FATHER OF PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU DIES AT 102: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's father, Benzion Netanyahu, died Monday at 102. He was a renowned historian, specializing in the golden age of Jewish history in Spain, and a professor emeritus at Cornell University. He was secretary to Revisionist Zionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky and also served as science editor for the Encyclopaedia Hebraica. Benzion Netanyahu was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1910. His family immigrated to then-Palestine in 1920. (Ynet) Pray that PM Netanyahu and members of his family will be comforted during this time of loss.
ISRAELI SCIENTISTS TEST NEW DRUG FOR CHRONIC PAIN: Israeli scientists have developed a new drug for chronic neuropathic pain that isn't helped by the traditional medications. "BL-7050" offers new hope to those whose pain does not respond to ibuprophen or even morphine. Researchers targeted a group of proteins which act as a channel for potassium. Potassium channels convey pain signals caused by nerve or tissue damage, known as neuropathic pain. When the channels don't function properly, the cells are prone to hyper-excitability, leading to neurological and cardiovascular disorders. Taken as a pill, BL-7050 binds to and stabilizes the body's potassium channels, controlling their hyper-excitability and preventing the occurrence of pain by keeping the channels open for the outflow of potassium. The new drug will soon go to its first clinical trial. (Arutz-7)
ANOTHER AMAZING FIND ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT: Archaeologists digging under Robinson's Arch in the archaeological garden next to the Kotel have found remains of a structure from the late First Temple period, under the base of the drainage ditch currently being exposed. This is the physically closest structure to King Solomon's Temple ever unearthed. On the floor of the ancient structure, the diggers discovered an ancient Hebrew seal from the late First Temple period. It is made of semiprecious stone and bears the name of the owner of the seal: "To Matanyahu Son of Ho…" (The rest of the name is not legible). The name Matanyahu appears twice in Chronicles 1:25, in a section listing names of Hebrews whom King David had appointed to sing G-d's praise and perform other functions at the Holy Tabernacle. A few lines away, the name Netanyahu also appears. Both names are etymologically very close and mean the same thing: "Gift to or from G-d." (INN) "Her stones are dear to your servants; her very dust moves them to pity." Ps 102:14

U.S. culture's clash between religion and science is almost exclusively driven by Christian instincts and arguments. Hindu physicist V.V. Raman offers another view of religion, the universe, and the complementarity of the questions of science and faith.
"…there are some scientists who say 'I don't think electrons really exist.' It's useful to think of them as existing. It's useful to build computers with that image in mind of an electron, but I don't think they really exist… when other people think of God as a personal thing, that's as close as you can get given the constraints on human cognition and maybe it's not something you should apologize for…"

Maureen Judge talks fast, but when it comes to conveying her message, she's clear. She is running for the the state Senate seat in the 41st Legislative District on the Democratic ticket, and she's going up against incumbent Sen. Steve Litzow (R-Mercer Island).
Judge is a North Seattle native, but spent much of her childhood visiting her aunt and uncle on the Island. She graduated from Boston University with a degree in political science and English. She jumped around professionally, working in the magazine industry before creating a software company, then she went corporate and worked for RealNetworks followed by Expedia. Suffice it to say, Judge has a unique background.
Judge ran for Mercer Island City Council in 2007 and won the primary but lost the general election. She then became the executive director of the Washington Toxics Coalition in 2009, but left the group in the fall of 2011 after helping push through legislation to get rid of BPA in baby bottles, sports water bottles and all children's products.
Just as she was about to return to the corporate world, Judge had a change of heart, and entered the Senate race instead. She had been campaigning since April. Her reason for running was simple, "I felt a call to service," she said. "I was watching what was going on in Olympia, and just felt that we could do better."
Angered by recent federal legislation that affected women's reproductive health and that percolated down to the state level, Judge believed she needed to be a part of the conversations taking place. "I am the champion for women's reproductive health," she said.
I recently sat down with Judge to find out what other issues she felt passionately about and to get a better understanding of her platform.
Her position on education:
Earlier this year, the state Supreme Court decided in the McCleary Decision that the State was not adequately funding public education.
Judge, who moved to the Island in 2006 so her daughter Katie could attend school in Mercer Island's district, agrees with the court's decision.
"Clearly, we are not doing our children a service by not appropriately funding our public schools," she said. "We need to recommit ourselves to finding the revenue to meet the challenges that are before us, for these young kids, and frankly all the way up to higher ed as well."
Judge also supports funding growing, innovative programs such as "Aviator High, International School and programs geared to very different ways of learning," she said.
However, Judge is opposed to charter schools. "I just think charter schools are an unnecessary distraction from the real challenge of funding education," she said. "Funds need to be focused on the millions of Washington state children."
Initiative 1053
In 2010, Washington voters approved Initiative 1053. The initiative states that in order to approve legislation that raises taxes, the Legislature must come up with a two-thirds majority to support the measure or receive voter approval.
"I would like to see 1053 rolled back," said Judge. "I think it hamstrings our elected leaders. They're there to lead and to make good choices, and I don't think keeping them from making the hard choices that they need to make is helpful to anybody."
Judge said that a number of recent initiatives have troubled her, including I-1053.
"It doesn't seem to be as democratic as it was designed to be," she said. "That [the initiatives are] sort of bought and paid for … I'm actually hearing that at the door when I'm doorbelling."
In May, a King County Superior Court deemed the initiative unconstitutional. The decision will ultimately be left to the state Supreme Court.
Raising Taxes and Cutting Spending
During every legislative session, senators and representatives deliberate, bicker and compromise over the state's budget shortfall.
"There's so many revenue streams that need to be explored," said Judge. "There are tax exemptions and loopholes that are costing Washingtonians every year and they need to be reviewed."
While Judge admits that such an approach wouldn't solve everything, "it's a good start."
In terms of raising taxes to generate revenue, Judge said, "I'm just interested in getting to a place where everyone is paying their fair share … our current structure is pretty regressive."
Judge said she'd rather get creative about finding new revenue sources, such as investing in renewable energy, and is hesitant about further cuts.
"I think that we're in a place where we've seen cut, after cut, after cut and it's pretty close to the bone," she said. "Where there are cuts that make sense, absolutely. All of it should be on the table."
Shoreline Standards
The debate over shoreline standards can often get very heated, especially when they're up for review. There are those who worry about overdevelopment and those who think development standards are too strict.
Judge believes that Mercer Island's shoreline standards aren't too strict.
"We need to remember that the littlest species depend on what we do," she said. "We need to make sure that we're not overdeveloping."
Judge also believes that Washington has the potential to be a leader in clean water legislation and is in favor of mirroring the state's clean water protections with federal ones.
"[Washington] is the kind of state that can lead and perhaps get the rest of the states to follow," she said. "I think we have the political will."
Though Judge is challenging an incumbent, she has the support and endorsement of a number of policy leaders including Sen. Ed Murray (D - 43rd District, Seattle), U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and Sen. Kevin Ranker (D - 40th District, Orcas Island), as well as organizations like Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest, the Washington Federation of State Employees, and the Sailors' Union of the Pacific.
Judge likewise supports Jay Inslee for governor.
"I think Jay's a good example of an ideal Northwest leader," she said. "He understands the issues of the Northwest."
Similarly, Judge believes that she represents the values of Mercer Island's voters.
"I love this community, I love this district," she said. "I am the 41st."

WASHINGTON — The federal government's top ocean scientists are urging the Interior Department to drastically reduce plans to open the coast to offshore oil and gas drilling, citing threats to marine life and potentially devastating effects of oil spills in Arctic waters.
The recommendations by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are informal and not binding. But if adopted, they would restrict development in some of the nation's most resource-rich untapped offshore areas and mark a significant departure from the pro-drilling policies of the George W. Bush administration. They also give added -- and official -- weight to environmentalists' concerns.

Remembering CR Johnson by Christopher Jerard
Christopher Jerard | Kahlil Johnson | Tanner Hall | Mike Laroche | Scott Gaffney | Matt Sterbenz
Tag Kleiner | Ladd Williams | Lorraine Johnson
Check out the entire CR Memorial photo gallery from our tribute issue.
Christoper Jerard, Former Freeskier Publisher
CR was a skiing prodigy and a pioneer in the freeskiing movement. He won an X Games silver in slopestyle in 2002 at the age of 18. He podiumed at the US Open Slopestyle that same year. In 2003, CR and Candide Thovex showed the world the first glimpses of what was to come in pipe, boosting ridiculously massive air at the X Games ski pipe comp. Candide got the gold and CR would have certainly been on the podium, maybe even won, if he hadn't hit the lip and taken a hard fall. He was ambitious, confident, brash, young and super talented. By 2004, at just 21 years old, he had been a professional skier for six years and he was straight up cocky. He made lots of friends. And he rubbed some people the wrong way, too.
On December 12, 2005, CR sustained a severe head injury that changed his life path. He was hospitalized and there was some question as to how, and if, he would recover. We feared for his life. He spent 34 days in the hospital. He came to the SIA trade show just weeks after his release, where I saw him for the first time since his injury. He was clearly hurt, but he had that fire underneath.
The road had just begun for CR. His physical and emotional recovery would take years, but he did recover. And it was with that fire and diligence he came back to the sport he loved. And we all loved him more than ever for it.
P: Bryn Hughes
Less than a year after his injury, CR and I went out to hit golf balls together at the range. Although calmed, a bit of the brashness was back. Chris, I want to talk about my comeback profile, he said. We talked about it, but despite my love for him, I wasn't so sure about a profile just yet.
The next few years were hugely challenging for CR. He lost sponsors. He wrestled with not being the same athlete as he was before the injury. I think he might have even wrestled with not being the same person as before his injury. He wanted to return to what he was before 2005 and the reality was harsh. The sport moves so fast now, even a knee injury, much less a traumatic brain injury can put an athlete behind his peers quickly.
Last year he told me, I'm actually grateful for my injury. It made me realize so many things. Made me grateful for the people in my life. Made me realize it's about my friends and family. It was unbelievable that he was grateful for such a huge challenge. But he meant it. And in the last couple of years, it seems he really started living by this newfound perspective.
I saw CR for the last time on February 1, 2010. I ran into him, unexpectedly, in the Winter Park cafeteria. He smiled sideways and gave me a big hug, pulled on his mittens and we went skiing for the rest of the day together. He talked about his new 4FRNT pro model and brushed the snow off his tips to show me the hidden secret words in the ski's graphic: "bless","cris", and other gems of Rasta wisdom he lived by. He told me about how in love he was with his girlfriend. He was amped on a recent third place finish at Red Bull Linecatcher, where he placed behind Candide Thovex and Sean Pettit, and just ahead of Sage Cattabriga-Alosa.
"The positive energy shimmered on the guy."
We ducked a rope and tried to find some pow in the low-tide conditions. We found ourselves thrashing about in some tight trees, hitting rocks, and traversing rotten snow to find an exit. Adventure skiing! he proclaimed. It was so fun to be out there with him, so positive, so happy with his life. Many a pro skier would have complained loudly. In fact, I think a younger CR would have done so. But he was stoked. The positive energy shimmered on the guy.
I told him about some of the changes in my life, things that seemed like a big deal to me at the time. Ever the philosopher, he advised, Change is the only constant in life, Chris. He was, of course, right. And he had been through more change than most and had come out the other side a more complete person because of it, and a true inspiration to all of the people around him.
Then on February 24, 2010, CR Johnson's life came to a sudden end in an accident he sustained at his home resort of Squaw Valley. CR got caught up on rocks while skiing Light Towers, went over the handlebars and hit his head and neck on rocks on the landing. He didn't make it to the hospital.
The world without CR will not be as full as it was with him. It's hard to see anything positive in the news we are dealing with now. But I think CR would find some philosophy, find some words of wisdom, find a way to make us feel better about it.
I am so sad to see you go, my friend. I hope there will be another time for us in the trees. Thank you for everything you gave me in our time together.
Love and respect, Christopher Jerard.

Challenge 2 Sept 2011
G'day Riley,
I am writing this comment from the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island in British Columbia in Canada while I am on holidays.
So many of your classmates have created videos to answer this challenge. I have never done this with my students. I wonder if you or your teacher could write a tutorial type post telling us how to make the videos.

As a new parent we can some times over react to the littlest things but sometimes we can accidently miss the cues on when to take baby to the doctor as well. Since you are still learning what cry means what from your baby and basically figuring out your babies "Crying Language" it can be hard to know what means what.
Newborns can very easily and quickly become sick, so it's very important to be aware of symptoms that could indicate illness. Knowledge is everything and will allow you to be better prepared. If your baby develops any of the following symptoms, urgent medical advice is required;
- Fever with a temp of 100.4F (38 C) or more
- Body becomes floppy or stiff
- Eyes are pink, bloodshot, have a sticky white discharge, or eyelashes stick together
- White patches in the mouth
- Redness or tenderness around the navel area
- nose blocked by mucus, making it difficult for baby to breath while feeding
- Diarrhea
- Forceful vomiting
- vomiting that lasts for six hours or more, or is accompanied by fever and/or diarrhea
- Refusing to eat
- Crying for unusually long periods
- Blood-Streaked Stools
The following two tabs change content below.

The Beer Guy
Dave Richmond has combined his work with his love of beer for more than eight years with the Madrigrano families, and is now Global Brands Manager at Beer Capitol Distributing-Lake Country in Sussex. In his position, Dave is responsible for coordinating the marketing and merchandising programs for all the Global brands. The beer products featured in his blog are primarily those distributed but not limited to by Beer Capitol Distributing Lake Country.
It is Summer , right?
Well as the calender changes over to summer we can only hope that the weather does as well. Because with that brings picnics, parades and festivals. I love this time of year due to the fact that there some many new beers to try. New Glarus, Capital, Leinies, Sierra Nevada are just a few of the breweries with summer beers to try.
Hopefully the budget item that was added is vetoed out by our governer so that the craft breweries in our state are not hamstrung by the added motions done by Miller Coors and the state Wholesalers. I thought it was a shady way of getting some items past in the dark of night. The craft breweries were in agreement on a lot of the items in the motion but never saw the final version. This all could have been avoided with open communication between the wholesaler association and the brewers guild.(I am a former employee of a beer wholesaler-full disclosure). Time will tell how this all plays out.
Drop me a note in the comment section of new beer you have discovered and I will do my best to try them and give you my opinion.

Eagles girls return with more experience, height
A young but experienced Canton-Galva girls' basketball team takes the floor this season with five letter-winners and additional height at the post position.
"We have so much experience coming back in the players that we do have, I?think that kind of offsets us being so young," said coach Dale Dvorak.
"They all played significant time throughout the year, so it's like having five returning starters who already know what's going on."
The returning players are Lauren Ballantyne, Caley Johnson, Liz Johnson, Lindsey Unruh, Keana Haydon, Leah Schmitz and Erika Smith.
At 6 feet, Liz Johnson lends the Eagles some height at the post position. She should receive some help this season from 5-11 freshman forward Cassidy Enns.
Dvorak said they are both looking strong, so he plans to interchange them as the season begins.
"Hopefully we can get to a game where we start them both and get some height underneath," he said. "(Enns) will get a significant number of minutes in at the varsity level."
Two other freshmen likely to contribute off the bench are Sierra Pennington and Zoe Unruh.
"I think we're going to be a lot more aggresive defensively," Dvorak said. "Offensively, we're going to look to get down in the post and then kick it back out to our guards."
He said improving the Eagles' shooting percentage would be a priority. Canton-Galva shot 27 percent as a team last season.
Dvorak said his team has been shooting more in practices and working on defense to cut down on rebounds and extra possessions given to the other team.
"As a coach, that's what you look at," he said. "You look at better defense and better shot selection rather than just shooting the ball."
The Eagles will face an uphill battle for wins this season in a strong Heart of America league.
Canton-Galva is scheduled to begin its season Nov. 30 at Elyria Christian, with tipoff set for 6 p.m.

A Ramgen Revilla and Janelle Manahan sex video scandal was recently uploaded to the internet causing a new scandal and accusations. It currently has Janelle seeking legal action against those responsible for uploading it, and the late Ramgen's mother asking that Janelle not go after her kids for this crime.
The Janelle Manahan sex video has been alleged by Janelle and her legal team to have been uploaded by members of Ramgen Revilla's family. The motive is that it was done to harass Janelle out of testifying against Ramgen's siblings who are under investigation for the crime. Manahan and her legal reps are looking to file legal action against whomever may have been behind the video's upload and distribution.
However, ABS-CBN News reports that Genelyn Magsaysay-Bautista, the mother of the late Ramgen Revilla, is asking that Janelle not accuse her young teenagers of the crime. They are 12-year-old Ramlyn, 14-year-old Ruben, and 16-year-old Julius. Apparently, they had defended their other siblings from the accusations they were responsible for Ramgen's murder with comments they posted on social media site Facebook. The mother said that the statements her kids made on Facebook were "natural reactions of siblings protecting each other." These sorts of things can happen online, but bullying also happens a lot, so it's tough to say what the children were doing exactly.
Not only did Genelyn deny that her young children were involved in uploading this sex video of Janelle and Ramgen, but so did her attorney, Jeffrey Gepte. Gepte said that Ramgen was loved by the Bautista family, and they would "not destroy his memory by uploading a sex video."
Meanwhile, the video is still out and about causing this latest scandal and hurt for Janelle Manahan. It is also causing disrespect for the late Ramgen Revilla by whomever may have uploaded it. It's a delicate situation for both sides from what it seems, although it's always possible someone is protecting soemone else. For now, one has to believe that the deceased's mother and girlfriend are both heartbroken over the loss of Ramgen Revilla and want his killers brought to justice.
