Press Release Pittsburg State University:
Former Pittsburg State University Women's Basketball player Marissa Poppe returns to Pittsburg as the PSU Athletics Director of Strategic Partnerships and Community Relations. Poppe returns to her alma mater after most recently serving as the youth sports director for the Butler County YMCAs in the Wichita area. She was responsible for coordinating the youth sports programs for over 600 children at the two Butler County YMCA locations. She was responsible for recruiting and training staff and volunteers and developing a budget for all aspects of youth sports activities. Prior to her YMCA job, she spent a season as a marketing intern with the Kansas City Chiefs, where her primary responsibility included organizing appearances and fundraising for the KC Chiefs Cheerleaders and Ambassadors. As part of these responsibilities she also managed the Junior Chiefs Cheerleaders youth programs, Chiefs Cheerleaders calendar sales and a cheerleader alumni weekend. As a member of the staff of the minor league Wichita Wingnuts in the summer of 2012, Poppe created artwork for the Wingnuts' Daktronics video board and assisted with game day operations. She also worked with group sales and season ticket sales. Poppe received her master's degree in sport management from Wichita State University. While working on her master's degree, Poppe worked in the WSU ticket office and served as the communications director for the Sport Management Student Association. She helped to organize successful alumni events, sold group tickets and was involved in promoting several events for both athletics and the sport management program. She earned her bachelor's degree in technology education from Pittsburg State. She played basketball for the Gorillas from 2006-2011 and served as a team captain during the 2010-11 season. "We are thrilled to have Marissa join our staff," Athletics Director Jim Johnson said. "She will have an immediate impact due to her experience the past two years. Her relationship and knowledge related to the Pittsburg area coupled with her educational background and work experience make her the perfect fit for this position."

Ruckmans only give this one star, but I gave it two if only because it is a great off-width test piece. I climbed this first back in the early 80's, and again last spring in March, when it was beautiful, sunny and surprisingly warm. The first pitch is a cruise up to the two-bolt belay. From here the crack lulls you in with a couple of good jams, but as it angles left and steepens, it widens to just beyond good hand-stacks and requires strenous arm-bars and knee stuffs. If you have plenty of big stuff you can zip it up with pro, but it remains sustained to the top few feet where it again closes to a reasonable width. Enjoy and become the off-width master!
Bring a full rack minus the micros, heavy on the big stuff (up to 6") for the second pitch.

During the 1980's and 1990's, Dr. Terry Shepherd began formulating the foundation of applying world-class exercise physiology principles to athletics, weight loss, and fitness. These extensive concepts and comprehensive research cumulated in the formation of a HIT Center that Dr. Shepherd started in Huntington, West Virginia in 2000. Dr. Shepherd began forming those fundamental principles one client at a time. In addition, the data gathered from early participants provided the basis of our BaseHIT database.
In 2003, Dr. Shepherd joined forces with Workers Choice Health Services, Inc. and two of its officers – Tim Betz, President and CEO, and Joe Duffield, Vice President – in order to develop the HIT Centers franchise operation. Workers Choice Health Services has taken its thirteen years of successful business operations and applied them to the development of the HIT Centers corporate structure and franchise operations
Mission Statement
One athlete/client at a time, The HIT Center will utilize the limits of natural science to test, train, and motivate each athlete/client toward his or her highest potential level of human performance
Vision Statement
Clients will view The HIT Center as the unrivaled fusion of science and sport as well as science of weight loss and fitness. All centers combine world-class exercise physiology laboratories with intense exercise prescriptions and personal training formally available only to elite athletes.
HIT Centers will become an agent of change as we encourage and assist the revolution of human performance in the communities we serve. HIT Centers will be held in the highest regard by our customers, will foster personal and professional growth of each and every member of our staff, and will strive to leave each person with whom we associate better than they were before we met.

No wonder the election turnout was like a violent outbreak of apathy. Politicians always say "in my opinion" or "it is my belief/experience" to answer questions they want to avoid answering honestly.

This setup will be invaluable for smaller venues such as TV or film production companies, churches, and community theatres where staffing is at a minimum. Easily operated, a transmitter carried by a presenter or actor sends out signals to receivers, which are connected to the Autopilot controller. Mounted on a movable platform, a camera follows the person carrying the transmitter, ensuring that they are in the frame.

A pregame interview with Joe Blanton
Philles Game 4 starter talks about the mindset of pitching
It's obviously been a couple very unfortunate incidents happen for members of the Phillies this week. How is that affecting the team, if at all?JOE BLANTON: I think it's one of those things you really grieve for the person off the field. But at the same time, it's almost like baseball is that getaway. You have that nine-inning period where you really get to break away from everything and focus on one thing. And just through personal experience, I know it can almost be a getaway, and you almost put extra focus into the game.

The two leading men battling for the chance to become Jackson's next mayor campaigned into the night as voters prepared to go to the polls for Tuesday's Democratic Primary runoff.
City councilman and lawyer Chokwe Lumumba stakes his claim on human rights and equality.
As 65-year-old Chokwe Lumumba quietly prepares for his zoning committee meeting in city hall, it's hard to imagine this stately, bespeckled, gentleman could be at the center of so much controversy.
As an attorney, he has taken on controversial cases, from the Azikiwe Kambule and Elliot Culp murder cases to freeing the Scott sisters. Born Edwin Finley Taliaferro, Lumumba changed his name in 1969.
The name change, coupled with his affiliation with organizations deemed radical by some, calls into question everything from his religion to his racial tolerance. It is criticism Lumumba calls misconceptions.
"The reality is that even the organizations that people talk about me being in have in their platform that there shall be no color, gender or class discrimination, which is a very ambitious kind of statement, but that's what they believed in and that's what I believe in," claims Lumumba.
"I believe in human rights for everybody. If you look at my family background. my family background is a mixed background itself and so it would be unacceptable to my grandfather, grandmother, all my ancestors, that I do anything accept fight for equality," assures Lumumba.
Lumumba adds he is not a Muslim and never has been. He claims he has maintained a Christian affiliation. As for his vision for the city of Jackson, the mayoral hopeful says he wants to see financial growth for the community and its people.
"What I like to see, if people who didn't have it yesterday, have it today. I want to see people who weren't getting paid much yesterday, I want to see salaries go up. I want to see business that didn't exist yesterday come into existence tomorrow. And those are the things that I think [are] going to help brighten Jackson's future and also make Jackson attractive to the outside world," states Lumumba.
As for his opponent, Lumumba wants voters to know Jonathon Lee's support comes from heavily republican precincts.
"Even though [Lee] got votes in other parts of the city, too, the reality is a large portion of his votes, heavily came from the areas that voted against Obama and vote for Romney," claims Lumumba.
Lumumba says he will continue working the streets and take part in a radio interview in the final hours of his campaign. He will find out if his work paid off when voters go to the polls on Tuesday.

PHOENIX (AP) - Former Arizona legislator Toni Hellon has been named the new clerk for the Pima County Superior Court.

Ideas sought for Scotchman Road allotments in Manningham
Updated 1:17pm Monday 17th February 2014 in News
The first phase of work transforming allotments in Scotchman Road, Manningham, Bradford, into a new community garden is almost finished.

The meeting will be in the community room of Margaret McMillan Primary School in Scotchman Road at 11am.

The program's director is available to discuss specific internship projects and career paths with individual students.
Joining the MDS places you in a network of people exploring careers in preservation - a network supported by faculty who are experienced professionals and have already established careers in preservation.
Because of its low-residency, online format, the program allows students to begin internships or full-time employment during their studies. This type of "concurrent education" is a hallmark of educational philosophy at the BAC-where students go to school as aspiring practitioners and go to work as lifelong learners.

If I'm gonna waste time by watching old things from TV, it'l be the Three Stooges (not that I haven't seen EVERY episode twice by now), not old cartoons. Much as I love Animaniacs and some classic Warner Bros., I loves me some Stooges more.
- Speaking of Warner Bros., I still haven't seen the Dark Knight. I really need to get on that looool.

launched the Pixi Range of luminaires and accessories at SIEL in Paris this week, as seen on the stand of their French Distributor ESL. They launched two new products from the range: Pixi-Led, a self contained LED luminaire aimed primarily at the architectural lighting market, and Pixi-Power, a stand alone power supply designed specifically for the Pixi-Led products.
Pixi-Led fixtures were displayed in a 12 x 10 matrix forming an array of 120 elements suspended from a truss beam using the optional Pixi-Power hook clamps. One of the unique features of the fixture is the support system. Their own data and power ribbon cables support them thus simplifying installation.
The revolutionary concept behind Pixi-Led is the ability to create a fusion of lighting and video allowing designers to achieve an almost limitless combination of effects. The fixtures use new "point-source" RGB colour mixing which creates both an exceptionally bright white light output and, with their consistent colour mixing ability, provides an enhanced colour palette with a superior range of pastel colours and tints.
To ensure future compatibility, Pixi-Led is both DMX512-A and RDM compatible. It has both temperature and voltage sensors that report the status of each unit back to the controller to facilitate accurate monitoring of the units. The Pixi range of lighting fixtures and accessories are currently patent pending.
Pixi-Power is a stand-alone power supply unit that can control and power up to 20 Pixi-Leds. It has an integral mounting plate that allows it to be mounted either vertically or horizontally on any surface. Pixi-Power can also be truss-mounted using the optional Pixi-Power hook clamps.
The Pixi-Led matrix will be controlled by a Colour-Tramp system as recently featured in the Broadgate / Finsbury Avenue Square LED installation. Colour-Tramp is much more than just a lighting controller, it provides a full implementation of V1.0 Remote Device Management.
Colour-Tramp is a new breed of lighting controller that communicates via the Art-Net Ethernet standard and implements all the functionality of Remote Device Management. This allows it to operate as both a lighting controller and an installation management system. One screen can show a topographic output mimic of the lighting whilst another shows sensor status of all the fixtures.
Colour-Tramp has an all-new video rendering capability that was demonstrated on the Pixi-Led matrix during the show. It offers a whole new set of tools for the lighting designer allowing video and programmed lighting states to be combined to create an even wider range of spectacular effects.
Also of note on the ESL stand is the new range of DMX512 splitters with support for the RDM V1.0 (Remote Device Management) Standard and the High End talkback protocol. RDM allows bi-directional communication over the DMX.
Other company news: Mark Thompson has joined Artistic Licence as technical sales manager. He will be using his experience in the professional lighting industry to further enhance sales, marketing, and project support.

Our stateroom attendant, Yara, came in and met the kids, asked us questions about some of our preferences, and gave us some tips and ideas. We were doing the 6 pm first seating dinner for the week, the food and service were great. It was nice to be able to look out and watch the sea as we started dinner the first night but before dinner arrived my youngest was not feeling well so I took him to the room and we both went to sleep. Thankfully that was the only time we experienced any uneasy feelings during our cruise. Our waiter prepared our food and let them bring it up to us. It wasn't necessary but very appreciated when I woke up starving. We had room service deliver breakfast every morning so that we could get ready at our own pace. On the days we were at sea we had a late breakfast and on the days we were in port it was earlier depending on what time we had to get off the boat. We were at sea for the first three days and my kids ended up spending a lot of time in the Adventure Ocean program. The youngest loved it and would cry when I would pick him up. This was especially shocking for us as we thought that he would not want to be away from us. We even ended up letting him stay for the late night events twice. For $6 per child they can stay until 2 AM. We were never able to stay up quite that late but they did get to stay until midnight. One night they had an adorable pirate parade and they painted their faces and walked through the promenade chanting. It was very cute and they all were having fun. They had events planned for them the entire cruise. On the last day at sea they hosted a talent show in the Cosmopolitan Bar for them and I swear it was the cutest thing ever. My oldest had fun the first few days, but I didn't want him to be a self signer so he decided he would spend more time hanging out with us. We didn't spend nearly as much time at the pool as I thought we would, we only ended up going swimming once. The pools were to deep for my youngest to reach the ground. The ice skating show was a hit with everyone in our family. We played bingo and even won a little money. We enjoyed the entertainment each night and the morning show was funny. We even sent a few shout outs to other family members that were on board.
Next time we will probably do two beach days and one adventure day for excursions. Maybe zip line or a dolphin encounter?
Some of the things I was very glad to have were: air deodorizer, highlighters for the daily compass, pens, waterproof camcorder (go pro), and good walking sandals. I used the packing list found on cruise critic and we found ourselves very well prepared.

Raytheon has developed and is offering uncooled infrared (IR) products required by integrators of military and commercial systems. Both focal plane assemblies (FPA) and full-up IR cameras are available, with a choice of formats of either 320 × 240 or 640 × 480.
The FPAs are programmable on a frame-by-frame basis. This allows the user control over variables such as those that affect device performance: integration capacitor size, integration time, and output amplifier gain setting. The FPAs also provide for non-uniformity corrections (NUC) on a pixel-by-pixel basis, which allows the device to be optimized for an extremely high degree of detector array uniformity.
The IR cameras come calibrated from the factory. They are pre-programmed to operate over a wide environmental temperature range while maintaining a high level of sensitivity.
Many performance specifications are shared across all uncooled IR products:
- pixel pitch 25µm
- NEDT = 50mK (for F/1.0 at 300K)
- operating ambient temperature range -46ºC to +71ºC
- thermal time constant < 16ms
- spectral range 7.5µm to 13.6µm
- dewar vacuum life > 10 years
- pixel operability > 98%
Raytheon's uncooled IR technology has a wide variety of applications: missile seekers and warners; pilot and driver vision enhancement; thermal weapons sights; chemical and narcotic detection and identification; and industrial quality and process control. Due to its performance and cost Raytheon's uncooled IR technology is the right choice for any system with IR imaging at its core.

We know what the main event will be (I know Chsels is relieved) and even the co main event (please Golden Boy do not screw us), but what about the undercard. I know Adrian said that he might be fighting on the undercard but I think he may want to hold out for the winner of Burns and Vasquez. That would mean he would be fighting three times this year, which is not bad but a lot.
If Broner does fight in the undercard I would like him to either fight Hank Lundy or Kevin Mitchell. Both can be very entertaining.
Miguel Garcia would be good in the undercard as well. Maybe he and Jhonny Gonzalez can go to war. Anyone else have any ideas about the undercard?
Side note: Robert Guerrero is talking big sh*t! This dude tweeted Mayweather and said "@FloydMayweather hope u liked working corners I'm gonna make it permanent pretty boy!" How can you not like that confidence. He better watch it because he still has to get in the ring and fight. This fight is going to be FUN!

@Marcus, that's exactly what I mean. I have no care really in what a fighter does outside of the ring, if that was the case I'd never watch Broner fight because at times his comments can be quite stupid. But in terms of Guerrero, he gives off the holier then thou attitude. So now he's God's chosen one? I think he'll be disappointed come May 4th
He should take a lesson out of the Andre Ward playbook. A man of true faith and CLASS and who does not go out and berate his opposition, I like the way Ward trash talks, it's a breath of fresh air in a sport full of cuss words and shoving. The way he's handled the Kessler and Froch situation where there basically diminishing him as a fighter is nothing short of amazing.
Guerrero makes a comment about cancer, religion and less then 5 secs later he goes into a tirade about his opponent. In this instance he makes that dumb remark about Floyd and women. That is so judgemental on so many levels not to mention inappropriate. I'm going to this fight and I hope Mayweather gives him a beating

Pupils make a real song and dance of it
11:00am Tuesday 28th January 2014 in News
HIDDEN talents were unveiled on stage by pupils at New Marston Primary School in Oxford.
Parents and fellow pupils cheered on 24 acts which took part in the annual New Marston Has Talent show auditions at the school in Copse Lane.
Among them was a singing and dancing group made up of Phoebe Parker, seven, Ashley De Leon, eight, Stevie-Ann Ritson, seven, and Casey Whiting, eight.
Phoebe said: "It was fun because we got to go up on stage and show all our hidden talents."
Ashley added: "We were quite nervous before we went on stage because there were lots of people there, and my mum was there.
"The judges were going to pick a winner and we were scared we were not going to get picked. We didn't, but we had fun."
Pupils from years two to six gave auditions before three acts were chosen to go through to the finals on Friday.
Headteacher Zara d'Archambaud said: "It was lovely. They were all so supportive of each other clapping along and cheering."

Jim weighs 218 pounds, his teenage son weighs 119 pounds. To lose weight Jim goes on a diet and exercise plan and loses 20 pounds. However, he still weighs more than his son who spent his time updating Facebook. Clearly diet and exercise don't work. A year later Jim has put the weight back on and is taking multiple medications; unfortunately, he still believes in diet and exercise so he practices the same regimen but this time puts on 5 pounds. Diet and exercise are a scam. Chicago has the highest murder rate and the strictest gun laws in the nation. Gun laws don't restrict violence.
In case this is one of the papers Sarah Palin reads, I should connect the dots. Obviously these aren't scientific studies, but if they were, you wouldn't compare Jim's weight to his son's or fail to account for the potential effect of the new medications. The information about Chicago tells us that lots of people die in Chicago; that's it, nothing about the efficacy of gun laws. To do that you have to look at the rate of change in gun violence in Chicago not compare it to other cities and you have to account for potentially hundreds of variables such as guns shipped in from other states, etc.
You can look at statistical studies on gun violence at the John Hopkins website or read their book. I must warn you, these are not Rush Limbaugh approved studies so you may get cooties.

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to amlodipine (Norvasc) or valsartan (Diovan).
To make sure you can safely take amlodipine and valsartan, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis);
- liver disease;
- congestive heart failure;
- angina (chest pain), severe coronary artery disease;
- if you are vomiting or having diarrhea; or

If you are also taking a beta-blocker (such as Betapace, Coreg, Corgard, Dutoprol, Inderal, InnoPran, Lopressor, Normodyne, Tenormin, Tenoretic, Toprol, Trandate, and others), do not suddenly stop using the beta blocker without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely. Stopping a beta blocker too quickly can cause serious heart problems that will not be prevented by amlodipine and valsartan.
FDA pregnancy category D. Do not use amlodipine and valsartan if you are pregnant. Stop using this medication and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Valsartan can cause injury or death to the unborn baby if you take the medicine during your second or third trimester. Use effective birth control while taking this medication.

How should I take amlodipine and valsartan (Exforge)?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.
Take this medicine with a full glass of water (8 ounces).
Amlodipine and valsartan may be taken with or without food.
Conditions that may cause very low blood pressure include: vomiting, diarrhea, heavy sweating, heart disease, dialysis, a low-salt diet, or taking diuretics (water pills). Tell your doctor if you have a prolonged illness that causes diarrhea or vomiting.
Your blood pressure will need to be checked often. Your kidney function will need to be checked with frequent blood tests. Visit your doctor regularly.
If you need to undergo kidney dialysis or have any type of surgery, tell the doctor ahead of time that you are using amlodipine and valsartan.
Keep using this medicine as directed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

Farai Maguwu Receives the Prestigious Human Rights Watch Alison Des Forges Award
As director of the Center for Research and Development (CRD) in eastern Zimbabwe, Farai Maguwu has conducted extensive research documenting human rights abuses taking place in the Marange diamond fields. After the Marange fields were discovered in 2006, they were open to anyone, and illegal mining and smuggling flourished. Maguwu partnered with Human Rights Watch researchers to document beatings, torture, forced labor, and killings of local villagers in Marange at the hands of soldiers controlled by the Zimbabwe African National Union- Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), the one-time ruling party that still controls security in the coalition government.
On May 27, 2010, two days after Maguwu met with a monitor from the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (the world's diamond control body) to discuss the abuses he uncovered in Marange, Zimbabwean authorities raided his home and offices, and arrested him on charges of providing false information about killings and torture by military officials at the mine. He was imprisoned for more than a month and denied medical care to punish him. The authorities then illegally transferred him to various police cells with deplorable conditions even though he suffered from a serious health condition. Maguwu was released in early July and only finally cleared of all charges in October. His case helped generate international attention to the serious human rights violations taking place in Marange's diamond fields and led to calls for the Zimbabwean government to remove its troops from Marange.
It is against this background that Maguwu was being honored by Human Rights Watch with the Alison Des Forges Award for Extraordinary Activism.
The foundation has been supporting CRD since 2010.

A new state law against cyberbullying in Maryland has already netted its first violators.
School officials at Annapolis High School launched an immediate investigation after someone took a photo of a girl there without her knowledge -- and texted it to friends -- who commented on it.
"This girl, she had fake extensions in from the mall or something and someone took a picture of it, put it on Twitter," says student Caroline Aube.
Some unflattering comments got attached to the picture on Twitter.
"It was 'white girl with a weave' -- and I've definitely heard worse," student Grace Engels says.
To the girl in the photo, it was no joke.
"She mentioned that she wanted to kill herself," Engels says.
Within hours of getting wind of the tweets and comments on Monday, Annapolis High School officials had identified 11 students who were involved and notified their parents that they were being disciplined under the state's new law against cyberbullying that went into effect October 1.
Anne Arundel County Public Schools officials will not say exactly how the students were disciplined, but according to the code of student code, the punishment for cyberbullying ranges from an office referral to expulsion.
The students we talked with said their classmates were suspended -- even those who only favored or liked the tweet and didn't comment.
"They're saying it's kind of ridiculous someone is getting in trouble and getting suspended for favoriting a tweet," Aube says.
Kenneth Martin sees it this way.
"If she feels that she's getting bullied, I think she should tell someone. [There's] a lot of teenagers killing themselves because of cyberbullying," says Martin.
People like 15-year-old Grace McComas of Howard County who committed suicide on Easter in 2012 after weeks of being bullied. The law against cyberbullying, "Grace's Law," is named in her honor.
With 11 disciplined in one incident, school officials are sending a clear message to students that what they post online is being watched and will be acted on if it is inappropriate.

If you can get this video to play and loop, it is quite interesting.
Lighting strikes the tops of the trees in the picture.
Notice how the ground shoots upward at the base of the trees and bushes. You also see splinters of trees fall to the ground.
I am only speculating, but since it's usually the heat that causes the trees to "splinter" when hit by lightning, that may be what causes the ground to explode upward.
Strange stuff!

JACKSON, Tenn. (BP)--When was the last time your church denied membership to an aisle-walker? If Thom S. Rainers research is correct, the answer to that question may be related significantly to your churchs effectiveness in evangelism.
Noting the disturbing evidences of a decline in evangelism within the Southern Baptist Convention since the onset of the conservative resurgence in 1979, Rainer -- who serves as dean of Southern Baptist Theological Seminarys Billy Graham School of Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth -- certainly has given us reason for pause.
Under the headline A Resurgence Not Yet Realized: Evangelistic Effectiveness in the Southern Baptist Convention Since 1979, Rainer traces statistical data related to evangelism in the SBC from 1950 to 2003. Within the scope of his research, a particular eye is focused on the SBCs evangelistic effectiveness since 1979. His disconcerting conclusion -- published in the latest issue of the Southern Baptist Journal of Theology -- is that the right turn in our convention has not resulted in a greater evangelistic effectiveness in the denomination.
Looking back over the last 25 years, members of the Southern Baptist Convention have much for which to be thankful. As Rainer points out, the six seminaries are faithfully led by those with conservative theologies. The denominations engagement with the culture is evident as clear statements of biblical values are regularly proclaimed.
Statistics from the International Mission Board indicate Southern Baptists obvious and aggressive involvement in international missions. The Southern Baptist Convention has made an incalculable difference throughout the world since being founded in 1845, and the Conservative Resurgence has resulted in greater commitments to doctrinal fidelity, cultural engagement and international missions.
Evangelism, though, is a different story. As is obvious by the numbers in Rainers article, the theological shift within the convention has not yet been realized in the area of evangelism. Looking at baptismal numbers, church membership and baptismal ratios (the number of church members per baptism), one sees the numerical realities of evangelistic stagnation within the denomination. With a burgeoning 16,315,050 people on churches' membership rolls in 2003, we still are seeing about the same number of people baptized as were baptized in 1950 when we were only 7,079,889 strong. The truth is that on average, it is taking more Southern Baptists to win one person to Christ than it ever has.
After showing that the state of affairs would be worse if we went the way of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, Rainer then suggests six hypotheses concerning the evangelistic struggles of the SBC and five proposals for recapturing the denominations evangelistic heritage. All are worthy of reflection and should receive focused consideration.
But most troubling to us should be his hypothesis that the churches of the SBC are not evangelistic because they have many unregenerate members. While only seven paragraphs are dedicated to this premise, they serve as perhaps the weightiest and most dispiriting section of the entire article. According to a survey of those who were church members prior to becoming Christians, results indicate that many current SBC church members may in fact not even be saved. I immediately thought about how our mega churches may not be as mega as we think they are. I then wondered if those like J.L. Dagg, J.P. Boyce and John Broadus were turning over in their graves at the thought of unregenerate church membership among us.
While I do not serve as pastor of a church, a decade of ministry among university students at a Christian college has impressed upon me that people always seem to rise to the lowest level of expectation. Could it be that SBC churches are not as evangelistically effective as we would like because we are sacrificing our ecclesiological integrity by softening requirements for church membership? SBC churches proclaim a commitment to regenerate church membership, but practices often belie such professions.
One of the easier organizations to join is a Baptist church. Not much is required. Walk down an aisle, gently grasp the pastors hand, nod affirmatively at his leading questions, correctly fill out the card on the clipboard, stand before the congregation and listen to their Amen as the pastor asks if they are glad you have come today. As one who once was a church member before becoming a Christian, I am aware that it is quite possible to join some churches without being a follower of Christ.
After moving into a new house and misplacing my Blockbuster membership card this spring, I went to rent a movie and was required to get a new card. The long and short of the matter is that Blockbuster may require more information and have higher expectations of its members than does the Baptist church down the street.
Rainers sobering assertion is that if our research approximates eternal realities, nearly one-half of all church members may not be Christians. The conclusion is not hard to draw -- an unbelieving church cannot be an evangelistic church, and some would question whether a church half-full of unbelievers is even a church in the first place.
If we want to affect the evangelism that is done when members walk out the church doors, we might consider providing attention to how people walk through those same doors into church membership. Before we rejoice with those who have come to Christ at a particular service, perhaps we should take the time to confirm that they indeed understand the nature and implications of coming to Christ.
Such an approach will take more time and will require a personal and relational approach. Understanding the Apostle Pauls admonition to Timothy to not be hasty in the laying on of hands, (1 Timothy 5:22) perhaps we should practice more discernment in granting membership to those who come forward. Otherwise, there very well may be some who stand before the judgment seat of Christ wrongly thinking they were saved because a Southern Baptist Church indiscriminately granted them baptism and church membership. Knowing that teachers incur a stricter judgment than others, (James 3:1) church leaders should be careful not to affirm a persons salvation by quickly baptizing them and unquestioningly welcoming them into the fold.
If Rainer is right and unregenerate church membership is a contributing factor to our evangelistic struggles, we should take heed and ensure that those in our churches are indeed in Christ before we challenge them to share Christ. Nothing less than the Gospel of Christ and the potential salvation of millions are at stake.

DENVER, Colo. – The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team broke Colorado's consecutive shutout streak with a goal off the foot of senior Hannah McGowen, but suffered a 4-1 setback at the hands of the Pac-12 Conference power on Sunday afternoon at CIBER Field in Denver, Colo.
Coming into the game Colorado (6-0) had recorded five consecutive shutouts to open the season, but the Skyhawks (1-4-1) would not make it six. McGowen led the Skyhawks with two shots, including her first goal on the young season. Aoife Lennon, Dominika Conc, Alyssa Curtis and Jaclyn Heckle would each add one shot. McGowen, Conc and Heckle each registered a shot on goal.
In goal junior Mariah Klenke and senior Sarah Tompkins fielded a barrage of shot attempts by the aggressive Buffaloes front line, as Colorado tallied 30 shots on the afternoon, including 18 of which were on goal. Klenke got the start, seeing action in the first half while tallying 10 saves and allowing two goals. Tompkins saw her first action of the season, playing the second half, recording three saves while allowing two goals on the afternoon.
Colorado recorded seven of the first eight shots, but it was UT Martin that got on the board first. After attempting a shot at the 7:32 mark, McGowen made her mark known in the 21st minute, rifling a free kick from just outside the left corner of the box. The goal was the senior's first goal of the season.
The Buffaloes quickly looked to avenge the early goal, scoring the equalizer in the 24th minute and the eventual game winner in the 26th. At the 23:18 mark Anne Stuller scored the game's equalizer off a rebound from a penalty kick save by Klenke. In the 26th minute Olivia Pappalardo scored off an assist by Stuller and Madison Krauser from a pass to the left side of the box.
Colorado outshot the Skyhawks 20-3 in the first half. UT Martin recorded 10 saves in the period.
UT Martin registered the first two shots of the second period as Curtis and Conc rifled shots in the 47th and 50th minutes.
Colorado would add a pair of goals within three minutes of each other to put the match out of reach. Stuller notched her second and third goals of the match, to record the hat trick, in the 65th and 68th minutes. Both goals were assisted by Krauser.
UT Martin will return to the friendly confines of Skyhawk Field as they host Georgia State on Friday, Sept. 13. The match is slated to start at 7 p.m.

If you're looking for friends, joining a sports team is a great way to connect with people. There are several reasons for this. First, you and your team are all working together and playing by the same set of rules. You need to trust each other (will he make the play, will she have my back when I miss) and as you get to know one another you play off each other's strengths.
Also, sports brings out a variety of people, so you'll instantly share a common point of interest. You don't need to worry about making small talk in order to bond, because the play you're involved in will help you do that. As a result, you'll have more to talk about after the games and practices.
But make no mistake, sports also helps you get along socially. If you're someone that struggles with social grace, sports can help teach you about interacting with other people. You'll learn to take the spotlight without arrogance when you win like a champ, and handle losses with humility.
As you and your teammates play, you'll understand the benefits of giving other people the chance to shine. All of this is invaluable when it comes to making friends. Playing a sport of some kind is also a good way to keep in shape.
Get to Know People at a New School
If you're new to the area (or the school), it's easy to make friends when you join a sports team. You're all working towards a common goal, and things like a tough coach or rotten play can actually help bond you all together.
Let's not forget, it's also fun! As a "new kid in town" you'll have an instant sense of belonging when you do sports. Other activities, like after-game meetings and parties, will extend your social time and allow you to find friends you really click with.
Sports Are Great for Adults Too
If you're an adult, don't forget about sports as a way to meet people, also. It certainly isn't limited to just the kids. Community centers, park and recreation departments, and places like Meetup.com all list adult sports programs.
There are plenty of adult sports teams for things like:
- Volleyball
- Basketball
- Golf
- Field Hockey
- Kickball
- Soccer
Even sports that require partnering, like tennis or racquetball, can be a good way to meet people. Health clubs and gyms often have signups or regularly held events that you can attend alone and get partnered up with someone.
Some Things to Keep in Mind
Remember, when joining a sports team the goal is playing fairly and treating others with respect. You might be competitive, but you're also trying to make friends, so brush up on etiquette before you join a team. You can be friends as well as rivals and maintain a healthy relationship even if you're on opposite sides of the court or field.
Another tip to keep in mind? Don't take yourself so serious. If you're trying out new sports, you might not be good at the skills required for the game right away. You might even learn a few different sports before you settle on one you like. Have patience with yourself and others, it will go a long way toward building a sense of accomplishment and also forming new friendships.

In the lead to his game report in this morning's Commercial Appeal, Ron Tillery picks the contrast between two striking scenes that happened within just a few moments from each other Saturday night at FedExForum. Both involve -- who else? -- Hamed Haddadi, the team's seldom-used reserve center.
There was Haddadi, helping Quincy Pondexter off the floor after the guard suffered a MCL sprain with three seconds left in the third quarter. And he wasn't just helping him -- he was carrying him. And then, a few moments later, the Forum got as loud as I've ever heard it when Haddadi, inserted into the lineup to start the fourth quarter, posterized Kenneth Faried with a massive dunk.
The reserves' energy and spark helped pave the way for Rudy Gay and Co. to take care of the Nuggets in the final moments, as I wrote in last night's live coverage. Check out a one-minute video of Gay's locker room comments in there, too. In The Flyer, Chris Herrington's superbly analytical take begins with what he termed as perhaps "the most precarious position" the Griz had faced all year. Over at the blog Straight Outta Vancouver, Kevin Lipe had a dinner conversation a night earlier that suggested Darrell Arther at the 3. And look what happened Saturday night? Oh, and the headline at 3 Shades of Blue: "Fratello Ball for All."
But back to Pondexter, one more thing: Tillery explores the scenarios in a blog he posted just a few moments ago.
As usual, the video recap on NBA.com is a good way to catch up. Unfortunately, it doesn't include the Haddadi dunk. (Anyone found a clip of it? Let me know, so I can share it here.)
In the Denver Post, George Karl was already talking about playoff implications for these two teams. (My $0.02: It would be a wildly entertaining series, but not exactly the matchup Memphis would want.)
Grizzlies' next seven days:
+ at Pacers, Monday, 2 p.m.
+ at Celtics, Wednesday, 6:30 p.m.
+ vs. Blazers, Friday, 7 p.m.
Update, 9:58 a.m.: Pondexter's MRI results are known, thanks to a tweet from the man himself:
Thanks for all the prayers. MRI went well, just a MCL sprain. Hope to be back on the court in a few weeks #GrizzNation. God bless-- Quincy Pondexter (@QuincyPondexter) December 30, 2012

High Design in Toronto
While in Toronto covering IDS11, Dwell's team of reporters had the opportunity to interview one of Toronto's—and indeed North America's—premier interior designers. We were blessed by an exclusive inside look at the home of designer Alexis Leino, and we'd like to share what we saw.
Located in one of Toronto's most fashionable neighborhoods, Alexis Leino's private apartment faces north, overlooking tiny Lower Rosedale. The 1964 white-brick, glass, and aluminum structure houses hundreds of Toronto's top-drawer luminaries, from grocery-store cashiers to mid-level managers of fast food franchises.
Entering the lobby, Leino explains how building management decided to forego the usual pomp of a 24 hour doorman, instead choosing a passkey system to allow access to the building, as well as a telephone intercom to allow entrance to delivery persons and support staff. According to building management, the absence of a concierge allows residents the privacy that their celebrity clients—in particular—expect, noting that not every suite has its own private elevator. The spacious and vaulted foyer features luxury materials, including engineered granite, simulated Tahitian marble, textured stainless steel, genuine Canadian ceramic tiles and other alkaline-based finishes. The foyer's designer says, "Our material source team look to use as many locally produced components as possible.The closer they are, they cheaper they are, usually."
Starting with the bathroom, Leino describes the inspiration for his choices of finishes and fixtures. "I found my design choices here in the bathroom influenced largely by public restrooms and the subway stations of Toronto," he explained, gesturing towards the tiles, which were installed with what he describes as "rustic looking" grout-work. Some walls see floor-to-ceiling tiling, including the backsplash behind the vanity. "It's important to me to feel that my bathroom time is as spa-like as possible, which is why I have the soaker tub and plenty of space to spread out products, do my morning stretches after a bath, and view Good Morning America."
Alexis, a self-proclaimed control freak, first shows what we initially thought were custom-made and professionally installed built-ins. "I had a vision for this piece, and had to ensure it was carried forward to my satisfaction. The only way to guarantee that was to design and install it myself," he says. The result is a beautifully integrated gesture that merges seamlessly with the rest of the décor, while at the same time serving the dual purpose of being a piece of art in itself, and a bookshelf.
Happy April Fool's from all of us at Dwell!
