---- — KEESEVILLE — History can have the power to influence and hold together communities, making the study of history an important endeavor, the state's top historian told a local audience Saturday.
New York State Historian Robert Weible spoke at the AuSable Valley Grange Hall in Keeseville about the Civil War and how it changed the state.
"There's no bigger topic in the United States," Weible said of the Civil War. "It's the third biggest example of government asserting itself and taking private property."
Invited by the Essex County Historical Society, the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association and the Clinton County Historical Association, Weible described the exhibit at the New York State Museum, "An Irrepressible Conflict: The Empire State in the Civil War," which is open through Sept. 22.
Weible views the exhibit as an educational tool. He wants people to think about how to use the knowledge they gain.
"We try not to take sides," Weible said. "We want people to think about it."
Also the chief curator of the New York State Museum, Weible wants all of New York, including the North Country, to feel that the exhibit is their exhibit, too.
"It's our mission to make it available to the public," Weible said.
The exhibition takes up 7,000 square feet with more than 200 artifacts from New York, including a piece of the rope that hanged John Brown, an abolitionist whose farm near Lake Placid is a state historic site.
"It was about half the space we needed to tell the story," Weible said.
New York played a major role in the Civil War, and many artifacts didn't make it into the museum because of limited space.
"New York would become the biggest supplier of men, materiel and money for the war," Weible said. "The New York State Militia was bigger than the United States Army at the start of the war."
Topics portrayed in the exhibit include antebellum New York, reconstruction and legacy, women and the Civil War, and slavery.
"Many Americans realized they were opposed to slavery but not necessarily for racial equality," Weible said of the Civil War era.
He also said the war is not yet over.
"Slavery is abolished but many of the feelings and ideas associated with it are still alive."
Two goals were kept in mind while creating the exhibit, Weible said. One was to tell as many personal stories as possible, and the other was to incorporate information and objects from around the entire state.
"People study history best when they know they're making it," Weible said.
In his talk, Weible also emphasized the importance of studying history and the value of good history programs to a community.
"We preserve history and talk about history for three reasons," Weible explained.
A good history program in a community will promote tourism and subsequently the economy, supporting the quality of life. It will also benefit the community educationally, backing school curriculums and creating lifelong learners, he said.
Finally, the history of a community keeps it together, Weible said.
About 60 people attended the event.

Seoul probably won't be hosting a Winter Olympics any time soon, but with mountains covering 70 per cent of the Korean peninsula, Korea has the potential to attract many more foreign visitors to its ski slopes.
A big plus is that four of the 13 ski resorts in Korea are within an hour of Seoul, making it possible to go skiing or snowboarding here even if you're only visiting on a business trip or 48 hour stopover.
The downside of being so close to the city is the resorts get mobbed at the weekends. Where possible, try to go on a week day.
Don't expect Austrian-style queuing discipline, or perfectly-executed dismounts at the top of the lifts (most people seem to carry their boards and skis and hope for the best). There's a certain 'anything goes' attitude on the slopes which will take you by surprise if you're used to European skiing.
But with the pumping music and hustle and bustle, you won't be able to deny there's a genuine excitement about skiing or snowboarding in Korea.
You're still likely to run into crowds away from Seoul, but you can expect a more genuine Korean experience in the more remote resorts.
Expect to pay around 40,000 won (US$40) for a one-day adult lift pass.
Getting here
Seoul is your obvious point of entry into the country. Getting to the more remote ski resorts in Korea will require an additional internal flight to either Yang Yang or Daegu airports.

For the last meeting of the year, Mayor Randy Stephens and the council discussed the priorities and goals for the first quarter of 2013. One of the top priorities is the annexation of land into the city. Stephens specifically mentioned the subdivision located on Parr Parkway. Currently half the subdivision is in the city and the other half is not. Stephens, who previously served as the Chairman of the East Walker Sewer Authority, also discussed his desire to annex the area that contains the East Walker Sewer Treatment Plant. The facility serves only residents of Dora at this time.
Council member Hezikiah Walker also mentioned annexation in Burnwell and Yerkwood. The last administration annexed some land in that direction, but the city has long expressed a desire to annex more and eventually extend the city to Interstate 22.
Stephens also said that he would like to begin the process to remove unsightly, unsafe buildings in the city that have become dilapidated.
"We'll do this in the proper way, the legal way," Stephens said. "I want to see us get rid of some of these nuisance buildings and improve the appearance of our city.
The mayor and council also want to focus on the city's park. The first step, according to Stephens, is to find a new park director. Current park director Anthony Dill will be stepping down at the end of basketball season.
In other business:
•The council approved the purchase of a new computer for the golf course. The current computer is too old to run the city's Quickbooks accounting software. The council also approved an upgrade to the golf course's point-of-sale software, if it is needed after the computer purchase.
•The council voted unanimously to give City Clerk Cindy Vines a raise.
•Walker also said the city should conduct a "salary survey" to look at the average pay rates of surrounding municipalities for department heads and employees in order to make the city a more competitive employer.

Companies need displays that offer excellent image resolution but are lighter weight and take up minimal space without increasing energy costs. Samsung ME Series LED LFDs deliver superior LED technology in a slim display. The use of eco-friendly materials during the manufacturing process and low power consumption makes the ME Series a sound choice.

When u compare the landscape of boxing, from this point in time of stars/potential stars, compared to 2003 roster from each division, would you say (talent-wise) boxing has progressed or declined?

There are more smaller fights being made. However, the interest in boxing from many has declined over the last decade. Too many big fights not happening, too few unification matches, too many promoters unwilling to risk their house fighters against other promoters' house fighters. I wish there could be a way to almost take the promoters out of boxing. Let the networks show the fights and the fights be made regardless of who promotes.
Keep Pay-Per View only for closed-circuit caliber fights with most fights on HBO or Showtime and more fights on commercial TV. There's more channels and stations for boxing than ever before, but they aren't being used effectively to get boxing interesting to new generations again. If we could get a kick-ass heavyweight contender who brings excitement and would be willing to fight in afternoon or prime-time commercial TV where the pubic could see and appreciate him, other divisions and fights could follow suit. Overall, I would say the sport interest has declined.

uploaded photos rotation
I am using WordPress 3.5 and Buddypress 1.6.3. I am also using a number of Buddypress plugins such as activity plus, friends, avatar bubble and Buddypress media (all latest versions).
When users upload photos to buddypress via iPad, their pictures are rotating, sometimes 90 and sometimes 180 degrees. Does anyone know why this might be? When uploading via media pictures are auto shrunk etc, does this have anything to do with it? It doesn't always happen so I am assuming that it is to do with size. If there were some way of editing them within Buddypress without having to go to my server it would be good,
thanks in anticipation

Over the last three weeks we have looked at the problem of evil. We have seen how the Bible explains evil as rising out of the personified presence of evil that we call Satan, that our world is fallen due to the original sin of Adam and Eve and how the justice of God allows Him to solve the injustice of evil over eternity. Today I look at the most difficult challenge for us: Trusting in the goodness of God no matter what the circumstances in life that we face.
More on I-71
It's that time of year – back to school – and one of the challenges of family life during the busy school year is keeping you and your family on a healthy diet. Meals are rushed, lunches can be picked over and snacks are mostly grab-and-go. Here's a few tips to keep kids eating healthy foods all school year round.
As a student, I typically despised collaborative projects. Obsessed with getting good grades, I would inevitably end up doing most of the work myself because no one else in the group approached it with the same level of intensity that I did.
I began each collaboration with high hopes, helping to divy up all the workload to group members and establishing deadlines for sections of the project. Invariably, deadlines weren't met, work was shoddy and my streak of straight A's was in jeopardy.
I snapped a picture of the black, wrought iron gate and sent it to my family along with the text, "Exploring this old cemetery."
My aunt responded, "Why?"
My question is, why would anyone not want to explore an old cemetery?
I first spied it while riding my bike through the countryside with hubby. Back during our dating years, he readily explored cemeteries with me. Together, we would point out unusual tombstones, read inscriptions and make observations.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that is sick of reading comments by Liverpool supports that continue to try and justify Suarez's actions yesterday be refusing to shake Evra's hand during the game at Old Trafford yesterday.
I liked to think we had come further in this country, that racism would not be tolerated by one of the biggest clubs in the world, and that the offender would be hounded out of the club. But, instead, the manager tries to justify the indefensible, which in turn results in Liverpool fan sites showing frame by frame replays supposedly showing Evra pulling his hand away from Suarez.
The reaction of these fans, and the fact that so many seem to feel this way is what I'm most disappointed and alarmed by. I've seem a large number of comments pulling up the history of Cantona, Ferdinand, Giggs, Rooney and others, trying to say Ferguson should not comment on others players. Racism is far more important than any of the issues raised with these players, and creating an environment that doesn't condemn it wholeheartedly aides the idiotic minority, the same idiotic minority that abused Micah Richards,one of the best players in the league this season, into leaving twitter.
Liverpool, you continue to harm your own standing in football, and debase the legacy of your club. I'm appalled with the behavior of your player,manager and sections of your fans. You are helping the morons, and the sooner Dalglish and others at the club realize this, the better.

Tennis tournaments in Wimbledon Park raise hundreds of pounds for charity
Updated 11:33am Wednesday 2nd July 2014 in Sport By Becky Middleton, Chief Reporter
Wimbledon Park was buzzing with tennis activities at the weekend, with two charity tournaments and a clinic with championships head coach Dan Bloxham and former world number one Martina Hingis raising hundreds of pounds.
A total of 48 campers queuing for tickets helped to raise £535 for the Royal Marsden cancer charity by taking part in a round robin tennis tournament.
Winners at the tournament raising money for the Royal Marsden.
They signed up on the day with organiser Andrew Hoffman, going head-to-head in doubles matches on the courts not far from the queue.
Also raising money for charity was a tournament for broadcasters and journalists covering the championships.

A total of £200 was raised in memory of Elena Baltacha in a fun tennis tournament with reporters from all over the world.
Miss Baltacha died in May this year from liver cancer aged 30.
Organiser Rob Castorri said it was the twentieth annual event of its kind and the winner picked up a tennis racket signed by Roger Federer.
Mr Castorri said: "The purpose is to get journalists to meet up and have a good time.
"It was about having fun and raising money."
The third event in Wimbledon Park on Sunday was a tennis clinic, featuring former world number one player Martina Hingis with All England Club head coach Dan Bloxham.
It was held at the Wimbledon Club, with dozens of club members and guests taking to the courts for a two-hour training session under the watchful eye of the experts.
Miss Hingis held rallies with players, giving tips and advice on the best way to serve a ball, how to be ready for action and have good footwork.
Refreshments were served in the club afterwards.

Daybreak role for X Factor's Rylan
12:22am Friday 30th November 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
X Factor flop Rylan is heading back to our screens with a presenting stint on ITV's Daybreak only days after being voted off the talent show
The 24-year-old singer, whose quirky performances split public opinion, will fill in for Richard Arnold on the breakfast show next week while the presenter takes a break after his exit from Strictly Come Dancing.
He said: "I can't believe it. I only left X Factor a week ago and now I'm joining Lorraine and Aled on the Daybreak sofa.
"I'm a massive fan of the show and it's going to be so much fun sharing all the showbiz news and gossip with the nation each morning.
"I'm looking forward to keeping Richard's seat warm while he's swanning off on holiday, but I won't be asking for any dancing tips just yet."
Richard, who was voted out of Strictly last month, said: "The wonderful thing about this hurly burly business we call show is that you know ultimately you will one day be replaced by someone younger, thinner and, in this case, much taller than you.
"I wish Rylan all the best in his new role at Daybreak."

After drawing near-universal fire and subsequently being suspended for branding quarterback Robert Griffin III a "cornball brother" for "not really" acting black, ESPN analyst Rob Parker has apologized:
This was Parker's first tweet since last Thursday, when he made the remark.

First of all, which phone are you talking about? Not all phones support two simultaneous players...
my phone are N80 and 6680
you cannot create two players at the same time
one player has to be stopped for the other player to resume
You can create players prioirly,but u cannot start both simulataneously.
N80 is a S60 3rd Edition (initial release) device and 6680 is a S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 2 device.
Mixing support was introduced in S60 3rd Edition. In older S60 Editions only one player was able to play at a time. With the MMAPI this is expressed by a notification that mixing is not supported. The
support can be checked from the system property supports.mixing, which returns a boolean value
true if the mixing is supported. When mixing is not supported and two players are started sequentially,
the last call for the start method will cause the first player to stop and the second to start (not in the
Series 40 platform).
I have seen in MIDP: Mobile Media API Support In Nokia Devices v2.0 that N80 supports Mixing. - Not tried myself yet!

There are no prerequisites; however, students with a background in French will find ample opportunity for French language practice, while also learning both Moroccan and Modern Standard Arabic.
Through the interdisciplinary coursework outlined below, students explore Moroccan society and culture, Arabic language, field research methodology, and independent research. The Multiculturalism and Human Rights in the Context of the Arab Spring course is divided into three components, each of which is coordinated by one or two scholars specialized in the field under question. Lecturers of renown as well as politicians and civil society activists are invited to talk to the students as part of this course. Intensive Arabic instruction is provided for students at many levels allowing all students to understand the culture more deeply.
The following syllabi are either from a recent session of this program or for an upcoming session. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.
The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.
Multiculturalism and Human Rights in the Context of the Arab Spring - syllabus (PDF)
(AFRS 3000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
This course aims to introduce students to the major current debates in Morocco on the question of multiculturalism and human rights. The course focuses on the new political, cultural, and transnational context in the wake of the Arab Spring. The social revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East have led the Moroccan state to accelerate the pace of reforms. In July 2011, in a constitutional referendum, the people approved a new constitution that acknowledges Morocco's cultural diversity and institutionalizes the state's commitment to the respect and promotion of human rights and individual liberties.
The course engages students in debates with Moroccan academics, artists, civil society activists, and policy makers, on the development of a multicultural society in which Amazighi language and identity, Andalusian customs and traditions, sub-Saharan cultural roots and ethnicities, and Arab linguistic and religious mapping are equally celebrated in the public sphere. The course is divided into four main modules: History and Institutions of Human Rights in Morocco; Gender and Religion in Morocco, Post-Arab Spring; Multiculturalism and Social Movements; and Cultural Representations and the Arts.
The objective is to facilitate forums to present and discuss a diversity of approaches, artistic and aesthetic schools, intellectual backgrounds, and political positions involved in the construction of Moroccan cultural identity and politics. Areas to be covered tackle the dynamics of Moroccan culture and society through an examination of manifestations of nationality, power, ideology, gender, class, ethnicity, and development. Overall, the approach of this course is multi-disciplinary, giving priority to understanding the multifaceted complexity of the questions raised. Its aim is to allow both the speakers and the students the freedom to relate the issues at hand through not only the readings but also through individual experiences and stories encountered in daily life and the challenging learning process across cultural boundaries.

Intensive Language Study: Intermediate Arabic - syllabus (PDF)
(ARAB 2000 / 6 credits / 90 class hours)
Intensive Language Study: Advanced Arabic - syllabus (PDF)
(ARAB 3000 / 6 credits / 90 class hours)
Emphasis on speaking, reading, and writing skills in Modern Standard Arabic through classroom and field instruction. Based on in-country evaluation, students are placed in intensive beginning or intermediate classes, with further language practice of spoken Moroccan Arabic (darija) in homestays, lectures, and field visits. Moroccan Arabic and Arabic calligraphy are also part of the course.
Research Methods and Ethics - syllabus (PDF)
(ANTH 3500 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
This course is designed to provide firsthand and experiential knowledge about the richness and challenges of conducting field study in Morocco. It provides the necessary conceptual and methodological thread that enables the student to learn from experience, to apply the knowledge and skills gained in language study and the thematic course, and to prepare the student to undertake field study in Morocco in strict observance of research procedure involving human subjects and the regulatory ethical norms defined by the Institutional Review Board. At the end of the course, the student should have the cultural understanding and the methodological tools to successfully complete their Independent Study Project. The course is also designed to answer specific concerns which the research on human rights generally raises. Multiculturalism and human rights involve minority groups, former political prisoners, families of victims of torture, policy makers, and international human rights organizations. The lectures address issues that pertain to research methods, confidentiality and anonymity of informants, data gathering and interviewing, and the safety and psychology of minority groups and victims of repressive systems. Individual meetings are scheduled throughout the course and aim to address research objectives and the expectations of each student.
Independent Study Project -syllabus (PDF)
(ISPR 3000 / 4 credits / 120 class hours)
Conducted in Rabat or in another approved location appropriate to the project in Morocco. The Independent Study Project (ISP) offers students the opportunity to undertake significant, specific, and individualized independent study; students apply the concepts and skills of experience-based learning articulated and learned in all other program components. Although the ISP is largely conducted during the last four weeks of the program, considerable planning and preparation for the ISP is done throughout the term. The Research Methods and Ethics course addresses concepts and rationale, methods and techniques, and evaluation of field study, all designed to introduce the student to the general background of field study and to assist them with ISPs that will be of interest to them and relevant to the program theme. The actual fieldwork for the ISP begins with the ISP preparation sessions and individual sessions on resource search and identification of appropriate contacts and resources.
Sample topic areas include: international and local nongovernmental human rights organizations in Morocco: cooperation and activism; inheritance rights and Itjihad in Morocco's modern society; childbirth in rural Morocco; Sufi poetry; the politics of expression among women in rural Morocco; the culture of volunteering in Muslim countries; code-switching and multilingualism in Moroccan music; fiction and the Moroccan Jewish community.

NEW YORK (WCBS/CNN) - U.S. Army Sgt. Bryan Dilberian, a triple amputee, is looking forward to a future with greater independence thanks to the group Building For America's Bravest - and The New York Jets.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Staten Island this week for his new "smart home."
The 2,800-square-foot, three-bedroom home will have a customized bathroom and several hi-tech features that will be operated with an iPad.
"It's like another rebirth," Dilberian said. "It's going to mean everything to me. I'm not going to be relying on nurses to come into the house, won't have to rely on people coming to help me."
"I love to cook and this is going to give me the fundamentals to cook again," he added.
Everything was donated by Build For America's Bravest - a partnership between the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
"We're going to make sure he's taken care of," said Frank Siller, Tunnel to Towers chairman and chief executive officer.
The New York Jets are helping in a big way too by giving $1 million to build two smart homes - Dilberian's new home being one of them.
"Our freedom is not there by accident, it's there because of our young men and women who serve. He's got a challenge going forward and hopefully the house is a little bit of an aid to him," said Woody Johnson, owner of the New York Jets.
And The Jets' involvement is priceless to the cause.
"We need this, we need Woody Johnson's help. We need others like Woody Johnson to help," Siller said.
If all goes according to plan, Dilberian will be living in his smart home by this time next year.

Las Vegas is celebrating record-breaking tourism numbers. A new report from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority says 39.7 million people visited the city in 2012. That's about 800,000 more visitors than 2011. Those tourists brought in more than $40 billion to the local economy.
"The last few years it's been a struggle with the way the economy has been. I think it's encouraging to see the growth, and people are starting to feel like they're ready to go on vacation again," said LVCVA spokesperson Dawn Christensen.
During the boom years, Las Vegas could count on a new resort every year to draw the world's attention. Christensen says nowadays, reinvestment and renaming of established properties is the city's new gamble, and it's paying off.
"We saw more than $2 billion reinvested in the destination, things like renovations at MGM Grand, the Bellagio, and Project Link that Caesar's is doing," she said.
Christensen also credits the addition of McCarran Airport's Terminal 3 for opening up new routes worldwide.
Las Vegas has also seen its convention business bounce back from recession lows. Last year the city hosted more than 21,000 conventions, the most conventions since 2008. Nearly 5 million people attended the thousands of conventions held in the city last year. The LVCVA says the number of new and returning conventions should push the city past the 40 million visitor mark for 2013.

Council set to replace war memorial garden with gravel (From Wimbledon Guardian)

Merton Council set to replace war memorial garden with gravel
12:50pm Wednesday 19th September 2012 in News By Omar Oakes
A war memorial, which has stood tall for nearly 100 years in Wimbledon Village, is set to become the latest victim of council cuts.
The memorial on Parkside, which was built in 1919 and commemorates Wimbledon residents whose lives were lost while serving their country, will have its surrounding garden replaced by gravel.
John Humphries, 87, lives directly opposite the memorial and discovered Merton Council's plans after he spotted a man with a measuring tape on the site two weeks ago.
He said: "It seems they can go ahead and do this to save money without consulting anyone, what a great shame.
"This is the last of the historic green and it's hardly a very big patch of grass to cut – I know someone who can do it in less than 40 minutes.
"Surely they should be consulting the residents before doing this."
Residents and councillors have complained about overflowing rubbish bins in the borough's parks since the Council made a number of its full-time park keepers redundant.
The change was necessary, the council said, because it is received a reduced grant from the Government.
In a letter to Mr Humphries, Merton's cabinet member for environment, Councillor Andrew Judge, said the war memorial was "not a core part" of the council's day to day duties.
Instead the council will replace the grass with bound gravel, which Coun Judge said would cost less to maintain and "preserve a respectful, high presentational standard."
Norman Plastow, president of The Wimbledon Society historical group, said removing the grass would be a "pity" and questioned why the council could not invite residents or other groups to maintain the memorial.
Mr Plastow said: "There are so many things which are disappearing for good because, bit by bit, we spend a little less and maybe don't value things like the memorial as we did before."
This year's Remembrance Services in November will coincide with the 200-year anniversary of Britain of the Anglo-American War of 1812, when inventor William Congrieve would experiment his 'Congrieve Rockets' on Wimbledon Common.
Merton Council confirmed there would be no consultation on their plans.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — HAVERHILL - A man fleeing police in a stolen minivan which struck another car, a pedestrian, and then a tree this morning has died, police said.
Police are not identifying the man who was killed, saying only he was in his 50s. The pedestrian was taken to an area hospital with what police say are "serious injuries." The driver of the other car which was struck in the accident was also taken to the hospital with "unknown injuries," police said.
The accident happened at 11 a.m. on North Avenue just outside the Walnut Square School. The area from North Avenue to Oxford Street remains closed to traffic as police continue to investigate.
Plaistow, N.H. Police had put out a "be on the lookout" message to area departments for a stolen Honda Odyssey used "during the commission of a crime" about 9:15 a.m. this morning. About an hour later, Haverhill Police were called to a variety store for a report of a theft involving the man and the vehicle matching the description given in the Plaistow crime.
Just before 11 a.m., an on-duty Haverhill police officer spotted the suspect in the Honda and began to follow, with its blue lights and sirens on in an attempt to stop the vehicle. Police said the suspect sped away, heading northbound on Main Street.
According to police, the officer "pursued the suspect vehicle from a distance, and lost sight" of it. A short time later, a Haverhill police officer working a traffic detail on Main Street at 16th Avenue spotted the vehicle turn onto North Avenue at a "high rate of speed." The officer then head a "loud collision" and found that the suspect car had rear-ended another car and a pedestrian walking a dog had been struck. The Honda was into the tree and emergency workers had to use the Jaws of Life to free him from the car.
Police said he was taken to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
The man who died was also suspected of leaving a Haverhill restaurant last night without paying the bill, police said.
The accident is being investigated by the Haverhill Police Department Traffic and Safety Unit and the Massachusetts State Police Reconstruction team.

Born in Ohio in 1937, Allyn R. Lyon was raised in northern New Jersey. In her "younger days," Allyn's interest was in politics and social issues. But somewhere during the course of two marriages and the adoption of her son Chris, it became clear to Allyn that "the 'problem' lay in the human mind." Like many in her generation, Allyn began to read eastern philosophy in the early '70s. By good fortune, she found herself at The Naropa Institute in the summer of 1974. "Naropa, of course, radically changed my life," she says. By 1977, Allyn and her son were living at Karmê Chöling. As a meditation instructor, Allyn managed to sit five dathuns and began teaching. She went to the 1979 Vajradhatu Seminary, the first of seven that she would attend as a student, staff member or teacher.
Due to what she calls "interesting karma," Allyn has held a number of administrative positions in the Shambhala Mandala including at The Naropa Institute, Vajradhatu, and Boulder Karma Dzong. In 1992, she traveled to Asia to direct three Naropa Nepal Programs and then to Crestone, Co to direct two three-month Maitri Space Awareness programs. In 1995, Allyn "found herself volunteering" to take on the position of Director of Rocky Mountain Shambhala Center and during that time, she managed to combine center administration with teaching trips to Europe, Mexico, the Pacific Northwest, and elsewhere.
In 2000 she was appointed an Acharya. Allyn is the resident Acharya for Los Angeles, CA and is on the Board of Casa Werma in Mexico. Recently, she has traveled to South America to teach in Brazil and Chile. She is currently the Resident Acharya at Shambhala Mountain Center, CO where she lives and teaches eight months of the year.
Allyn's main interest in teaching dharma remains the nature of mind and how it functions: "What is mind? How does practice work with mind? What is real?" But if there's a bottom line, Allyn says, "it's that I really enjoy practicing the dharma, teaching and sharing my love of the dharma with students."

ITTA BENA, Miss. (AP) -- Sean Woods dealt with plenty of adversity as a player at Kentucky.
Now in his fourth-year as coach of Mississippi Valley, Woods has often called on those experiences -- with favorable results.
The tiny school in the Mississippi Delta is having its best season in years; the Delta Devils are 15-0 in Southwestern Athletic Conference play.
Mississippi Valley has clinched the league's regular-season championship, which comes with an automatic berth to the National Invitation Tournament. But for the ultimate prize -- a spot in the NCAA tournament -- the Delta Devils must win the conference tournament in Dallas.
Woods will always be linked to his time at Kentucky, where he was one of "The Unforgettables," a quartet of Wildcats who brought the program back to prominence in the early 1990s.

2013 Olivier Awards Announced; Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, The Audience, Top Hat and Sweeney Todd Take Major Awards
By Mark Shenton
The 37th Olivier Awards, presented April 28 at London's Royal Opera House, saw The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, The Audience, Top Hat and the already-shuttered Sweeney Todd take the major awards.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, recently transferred from the National Theatre to the West End's Apollo Theatre, taking seven of the eight awards it had been nominated for, including Best New Play, Best Director for Marianne Elliott and Best Actor for Luke Treadaway.
Top Hat (continuing at the Aldwych Theatre), which had received seven nominations, won three of them, including Best New Musical, while the Sweeney Todd, which transferred from Chichester Festival Theatre to the Adelphi, also took three awards out of its six nominations, winning Best Musical Revival and stars Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton, who were respectively named Best Actor in a Musical and Best Actress in a Musical.
The Audience (now running at the Gielgud Theatre) saw two of its cast win awards: Helen Mirren was named Best Actress in a play for playing Queen Elizabeth II, and Richard McCabe was named Best Supporting Actor in a play for playing former UK prime minister Harold Wilson. Leigh Zimmerman won the Olivier for Best Supporting Performance in a musical for playing Sheila in the West End revival A Chorus Line (now running at the London Palladium).
Other productions to receive multiple nominations, including Kiss Me, Kate (five nominations), The Bodyguard, Constellations and Twelfth Night (four each), went home empty-handed.
The Awards, supported by MasterCard who have confirmed their ongoing association until the end of 2016, were hosted by Hugh Bonneville and Sheridan Smith. There were performances by Matthew Morrison, Idina Menzel, Petula Clark, Tim Minchin and Michael Ball, as well as a Cats musical tribute to special award winner Gillian Lynne. Michael Frayn also received a special award.

Anyway, great job, Jay!

If this is a hitting award, Leake is the better hitter. Higher average, more hits, OBP and he hit more home runs.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Alpha moved into the Triple Crown picture on Saturday after easily beating Speightscity by 3 1-4 lengths in the $200,000 Withers Stakes for 3-year-olds at Aqueduct.
Racing wide throughout the 1 1-16 miles, Alpha needed only mild urging from Ramon Dominguez to secure his third win in five starts. The 1-5 favorite trained by Kiaran McLaughlin is a perfect 2 for 2 this season, also capturing Aqueduct's Count Fleet Stakes last month.
The time was 1:44.23 on the fast track.
McLaughlin said the colt might return for Aqueduct's $400,000 Gotham Stakes on March 3.

Many states struggle to meet pension and health care obligations to their retired workers.
Alabama has established trust funds to pay for public retirees' future health benefits.
We will vote Tuesday to write into the state constitution a guarantee that the money invested in these trusts for retired state workers and teachers can't be spent for anything else.
We will also vote on an amendment allowing the state to borrow an extra $400 million for incentives to attract new industry and more jobs. The current borrowing limit is $350 million.
Alabama's business recruitment successes rival any in the nation in part because of these incentives.
A YES vote on both amendments will benefit all of us.
It will help keep the state's bond rating one of the highest in the nation - saving Alabama taxpayers money.

Two more counties will have help with flood assistance after Gov. Terry Branstad issued a proclamation of disaster emergency Thursday.
The announcement means state resources will help Winneshiek and Worth counties, both affected by the recent storms and flooding.
In addition, the proclamation activates the Iowa Individual Assistance Program in both counties.
According to Branstad's office, the Iowa Individual Assistance Program provides grants of up to $5,000 for households with incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level, or a maximum annual income of $39,060, for a family of three.
That grant money is available for home or car repairs, replacement of clothing or food, and/or temporary housing.
Original receipts are needed for reimbursements. To apply go to: www.dhs.iowa.gov.

When I was 12-years-old I developed an unhealthy addiction to Choose Your Own Adventure novels. Perhaps due to my own lack of imagination, I became hooked on the books where an author would frame a story in which I was the hero. (In case you're too old or too young to remember this Gen-X genre favorite: each story is written from a second-person point of view, with the reader assuming the role of the protagonist and making choices that determine the main character's actions and the plot's outcome.) Although each book could have up to forty possible endings — some were "good" (e.g., I save the day) and some "bad" (e.g., I die an ignoble death) — the only endings I considered to be "real" were the ones that aligned with what I'd call my "narrative preference" (i.e., I'm a hero).
Now that I'm all grown up, my taste in books have changed, but my bias toward my narrative preferences remains firmly intact. As an editor at a small town newspaper, I found myself framing stories that fit the preferred narrative I had about my local area. Crime stories were treated as deviations from the norm, while heroic actions were presented as every day occurrences among noble citizens. That more people were likely to be mugged than saved from drowning was a fact I never let impose on my preferred "reality."
Narrative preference is one of the common biases of journalists – and one of the most difficult for us to recognize. When we are accused of being "politically biased" we often scoff and point to our nonpartisan treatment of the issues. But that often misses the point, for it is not the politics that we are being criticized for, but for having narrative preference that differs from our critics.
Take, for example, a recent incident in Seattle, Washington in which two street preachers are assaulted at a gay pride rally. Here is the report by local ABC affiliate, KOMO 4.
If you haven't heard about this story, it's because it did not make the national news. But should it have? Normally, I would say that is was just a local crime story. But Denny Burk, associate professor of Biblical studies at Boyce College, raises an interesting question:

The beer pours a beautiful amber color with a thick frothy off-white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It has a warm pale and crystal malt scent. It's not overly aromatic, but it does have a solid malt aroma, but it does lack a pronounced hop character. The taste is decent. It has a smooth, yet simplistic malt flavor that goes down easy and finishes warm with little bitterness or yeast esters. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a full bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is drinkable strong ale. It isn't overly complex, but it's quite enjoyable.

Bottle bought at the brewery and schlepped back while on vacation with the family.
Pours a deep reddish shoe leather color with a small smattering of tiny bubbles that disappear almost instantly. Not a good sign this might be lacking some carbonation. Smell is sweet and malty. Dark dried fruits mixed with toffee and brown sugar and a hint of ethanol. Apricots, prunes, cherries, plums coated in brown sugar. Taste is sweet like I expected. Dark fruits and sugar syrup mixed with a hint of alcohol. The light level of carbonation makes this feel syrupy and probably a bit sweeter than it is. Medium to thick body with a slightly drying finish. I thought this tasted and smelled pretty good, but was a little less than complex. More bubbles and more character malts would have made this a great brew.

22 oz bottle courtesy of Suspect pours a very hazed brown color with a creamy tan head. Fades pretty quickly and doesn't leave much lacing.
Nose is sweet and rich, with an earthy, nutty malt. Pretty much right on cue for an Old Ale. Smells a bit like soggy Cocoa Krispies, very cereal-esque.
Tastes about the same as the aroma with an extra little bump in fruitiness. Malts are chocolaty and kind of dusty...in a good way. Alcohol is well hidden and it has a soft, smooth mouthfeel. This is a damn good beer and I think it is a good representation of the style.

appears a hazy rust color, with brown highlights. frothy white head. aroma is is sweet and a little fruity - black cherry, plum .
tastes pretty sugary and malty. toffee, caramel, dark fruits. initially good, but gets a bit cloying by the end of the bottle. thick, somewhat syrupy. could use a little more carbonation.
overall, a decent beer, but just a bit too sweet.

A: A medium amber with very good clarity. The off-white head forms a thin film on tops of the beer with a ring of rock foam around the side.
S: Fairly malty with a moderate caramel and sweet malt aroma. There is a moderate alcohol aroma that is just a touch solventy smelling. Very light citrus hops aroma and some light dried dark fruit notes.
T: The initial sip is a little harsh with the alcohol, caramel and moderate hops bitterness. The flavor come together on the the next sip with big malty flavors and a moderate amount of sweetness. The is a very light citrus hops flavor and moderately-low prune and raisin flavors. The alcohol still colors ever sips. The balance is somewhat sweet with the finish being a little sweet as well even though the hops bitterness is there keeping it in check. The aftertaste is caramel and a light lingering bitterness. A light diacetyl which is appropriate for the style.
M: Medium-full bodied with moderately-high carbonation. There is a little slickness on the palate and plenty of warming all the way down the throat.
O: I like this interpretation of the Old Ale, it got some hops bitterness and good malt character. It would definitely improve with some aging, I probably only purchased this a few weeks back. It like Ruination with a moderate hops bitterness instead of the absurdly strong bitterness. A little bit too much carbonation that become a little prickly.

this beer pours a crystal clear reddish amber color with a small off white head that fades to lacing rather quickly. the aroma sports a big malt profile, the sweetness and caramel combining nicely with a slightly fruity smell. the taste follows with lots of malt up front, sweet and bready, with a bit of hop bitterness at the end, the alcohol is slightly noticeable, but not overstated. the etoh warmth and full body backed by good co2 make this a fairly drinkable strong ale.

Make-A-Wish Arizona granted a valley boy
facing a life-threatening illness his wish Saturday, but the Gilbert
nine-year-old decided to pay it forward and give a gift to his community.
Logan Carson wished for a playground in his
Gilbert neighborhood near McQueen and Guadalupe Roads. When Make-A-Wish Arizona
asked him what he wanted, he could have wished for most anything, but Logan
wanted something everyone could enjoy.
"I was gonna share with my
friends," said Logan.
It's not every day that a nine-year-old boy
gets to cut the ribbon to a playground made for him, designed by him, but then
again Logan Carson's every day is anything but typical. Logan lost his eye,
right leg below the knee, and four fingers.
"I got strep, and it went through my body,"
said Logan.
His wish is the largest in Make-A-Wish

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Jay Cutler's teammates came to his defense at Halas Hall Monday, as the quarterback continued to have his toughness questioned by some league observers, including former and current NFL players.
"I'll just tell you this — one thing I know about Jay Cutler is he's tough," said QB Caleb Hanie, who helped spark the offense after replacing backup QB Todd Collins on Sunday. "And another I know about him is he's going to stand up for his teammates and he doesn't want to let his teammates down. If he could've been on the field and been productive at all for the team, he would have done it."
Cutler tried to play after injuring his knee late in the second quarter of Sunday's NFC championship game, but the team decided to sit him after the first offensive series of the third quarter. An MRI revealed Monday that Cutler had suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in the knee. Reports indicate it was a grade-2 sprain, which usually takes 3-4 weeks to recover from.
"He obviously was in a ton of pain where he couldn't handle it enough to help out the team, so he felt like he might have been hurting the team, so he had to take a backseat," Hanie said.
Cutler was at Halas Hall for a team meeting Monday, but he didn't address the media. A teammate and friend of Cutler's, TE Greg Olsen, said Cutler's toughness is one of the last things anyone should question.
"I think it's insane," he said. "I think anyone who has ever watched us, that would probably be the last thing anyone would ever question. He's taken hits. He doesn't slide. He runs almost to the point where sometimes we have to tell him 'Hey, you're still a quarterback. We need you back there.' But that's just his mentality. He's a football player.
"For guys, especially players around the league, to take those shots at him, I just think it's ridiculous. You're going to take a shot at a quarterback who is leading his team into the NFC title game from guys who aren't even in the playoffs, haven't made the playoffs in their whole career, and they're going to question him?"
DT Tommie Harris admitted that it took awhile for some Bears players to warm up to Cutler after he was traded from the Broncos before the 2009 season, but he said Cutler has earned his trust and that he's one of his favorite teammates.
Harris doesn't expect that the criticism will bother Cutler much going forward.
"That rolls right off his back," Harris said. "It probably bothered him yesterday, but I don't think that will bother Jay at all, and it shouldn't. Nobody can question your toughness and all of that stuff. We know what Jay means to us and who he is as a person."
