Broner will outbox Maidana. I think once he feels Maidana's power, he will stick and move and just outbox him for the UD. I do see a knockdown for both fighters.
Thurman will KO Soto-Karass in 8. Should be good while it lasts. Thurman took some big shots in his last fight and bounced back well. They'll both land some bombs, but I expect Thurman to land the more effective punches and stop Soto-Karass.
Santa Cruz gets the UD against Seda. Santa Cruz is an action fighter cause he overwhelms his opponents with punches in bunches. Want to see some defense from him and see if he can take a shot. Seda has a little pop in his punches, but I think Santa Cruz wins this convincingly.
Haven't seen either Shumenov or Kovacs fight yet. I'll stay tuned. Hope it has some action.

Broner/Maidana: The easy answer would be Broner as the victor, but for some reason, it's not coming that easy for me. I've seen Maidana in there with more skilled guys, and all I've seen is frustration and confusion on his end. Marcos hasn't been able to take a shot as good as he has in the past...he's been looking more and more vulnerable, maybe his body is asking him, "Man, this shit again? WTF's wrong with you?". Any smart man would question Broner's pop at 147...either it's not what it was at 30 or 35, or he had those first time jitters in his last fight. Who knows? As promised, I'll continue to go for the underdog for the remainder of this year, regardless of how obvious the outcome is. I have Maidana by surprise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Thurman/JSK: Keith moves a lot for the WW that he is, so this wont be a Berto-type fight for JSK...he'll have to work. My only request is that he uses some freakin' head movement all night...not just when things get rough. He cuts easily, so I'll expect expect plenty of blood here. I think he gives Thurman problems, and that's only based on the performance that Chaves put on, which he didn't use a lot of movement. Keith may very struggle a bit here, or he could go in there and obliterate JSK, since he knows that a title shot is around the corner. If he wins tonight, he can give a huge thank you to San Diego. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
Santa Cruz/Seda: Not sure if I've seen Seda fight...so I'll make sure I don't sort socks while it's on.

Suggestion About the Tractor Registry
How do I.... ?

Suggestion About the Tractor Registry
Found the tractor registry on this site. It is real hard to look at and doesn't contain alot of good information. Has anyone ever thought about re-tooling it to make it more user friendly. Maybe sort it by years where you could click on a 1950 cub and see a list of the numbers known, and then maybe have the owners name, address, and email or phone, so someone could contact them. Say you see someone owns an old cub you used to own and you want to buy it off them, but they just posted their name and that their tractor was red. Does anyone agree with me. Just an idea. Maybe this would help cub owners who live so close to each other get together. Thanks Brandon.
Hey Brandon...I think you've got a good suggestion. If we could have the tractor registration listed by Model...Year...State...Owner (and have each be cross-referenced) that might serve the purpose you're trying to come up with?
"Save The Possums...Collect The Whole Set"
"Tennessee Sun-Dried Possum...Heaven In A Can"
I just love this website, I stay on it all day. I just would like to know what other tractors are out there. I have an early 47, according to the registry there is about the 75th cub built within 200 miles of my house. But you don't know the guys name, or contact information. I would love to see it, maybe own it if it's for sale. I don't know who runs this website but I hope they see my suggestion and try to make it more user friendly. This is the greatest website with the greatest bunch of people behind it, tractor people. Hope everyone understands my posting and doesn't take it wrong. Thanks Again Brandon.
I have been trying to get it organized for the past year... but it is kind of difficult.
I do not think that anyone realized how big this would get. I am sure no one ever thought that there would be 1900 members 3 years ago. It was quite useful at that time, but right now it isn't any longer.
I am using Access to manipulate the data.. but it is difficult especially as many do not include the correct information.
Here is what we have so far. When you click on the Register Your Cub link, this page appears with the following fields to enter the indicated data.
Owner's Name:
Model (Lo-Boy, Cub, Cadet etc....):
Color(eg. Red, Yellow, White):
Serial #'s:
Casting #'s:
Email Address:
Year Acquired:
Price paid:
So far many people do not even fill out the fields correctly which really causes a lot of problems in sorting the data. If for instance one enters the year in the comments box, then it cannot be sorted properly because it cannot be found.
And here is another problem. I finally got most of the manipulation figured out in Access.. (still difficult), but as soon as another entry is made, it all goes askew.
Now if you view the Registry, and it is sorted by YEAR... we can see how the entries look. If you do not enter the year and serial number, it is gonna be difficult as blank entries are viewed as coming before any number.
As you can see the first two entries skew the results because the data is not correct. And there are 1122 entries and I can guarantee you that there are a lot, and I do mean a lot of duplicate entries. (I have been culling them)
The fix will come, patience is the key. Dennis has a lot on his plate, especially this year, and I have not been able to do an awful lot this past year due to my health problems. Hopefully over the next few months, I will be able to get most of it sorted agan and we will see what happens.
Hang in there Brandon, it will get there.. as our Momma's told us when we was kids - Paitience is a virtue...
I am going to ask Dennis for another upload of the file and will try to get it done in a few days. Then.. while I am updating it, maybe we can turn off the registry for that short period. Now that I understand how to fix it, it won't take that long.

I would just like to be able to click on 1947 and it show all (registered) 1947's in serial number order. Then maybe click on serial number XXX and it show the owners name, and contact info. So I think it would only help our hobby. I know some people don't want to sell their cubs and that's fine. I think if someone wants your cub it just increases it's value, can't hurt anything. Think of all the new friends and conversations that would come from this. Say I want to ask the owner of an early 47 cub if his cub has a certian casting for example. Just an idea, Let me know what everone thinks. Thanks Brandon.
Brandon - your host for this site is Dennis Raney who lives in MO. He has mentioned in the past that he would like to revise the registry. Please understand that he has a very demanding job and does not get to dedicate as much time to the site as he would like. If you are patient, some day there will be some changes. I believe Rudi was going to take a look at the registry in his spare time as well.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Thats great. If I can help in any way, I will. Just let me know what I can do. What interest me the most is the history behind the Cubs. I would love to do my part.
I have never been able to use the registry page. The last time I tried was about a year ago until just now again. I get to the page but after waiting 4-minutes for it to fully open I gave up. I clicked on the register your Cub link and that opens but I have never tried to register My 4-Cubs.
Then came Bronson
I don't have alot of time any given day so I breeze through everything. Here is my suggestion. Take a look at YTmag and see how they have laid out the sidebar for links.
I don't think YTmag has all the answers and since that was the only site I watched for some time, I do like it because I am familiar with it.
My problem here is, I just went looking for the tractor registery, and I couldn't find it after about 5 minutes. To my way of thinking, that is to hard to find. so it is probably overlooked by many.
My 2 cents worth.
My wife say's I never isten to her, or something like that.
Amateur Extra class radio call sign AB8MS
Its the second of the 2 links at the top of the page (center) on the HOME page.
Then came Bronson
Part of the problem is that it must load the whole registry page -- all 1122 entries of it. It takes 3 or 4 minutes on my broadband connection most times.
As I indicated. My daughter and I are working on updating.. she is helping me with Access..
Hopefully I can have something done soon..
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Here is one thing you can do that will help with:
One of the first posts you should have seen was "New Members and Visitors, Please READ", which in part says:
Then you can sort the member list by location to find others that are near you.
I understand what you are saying, I just am really intersted in serial numbers. Maybe if there was a seperate registry for 1947 cubs, and demo cubs. Demo cubs would be the main reason I am intersted in the registry. It might take ten years, but it might give us a baseline of what was white and how many there are. And 47 cubs, they made 11,xxx of them, I sure would like to know if there were only a couple hundred left. Honestly how many do you think are left? There can't be that many. Everyone has snatched up cubs. Later years where they made thousands per year, you have trouble finding one of the year you want. You have to look hard.
A little time spent with a calculator and a list of serial numbers will be very revealing. No registry is likely to ever yield more than a tiny percentage of existing tractors. For example... there were more '50 white demonstrators made than the total annual production of '54, '55, '56, ...you get the picture.
'48 is the easy year to find since there were so many made. I have 4 of them. There were more built in '48 than ALL F-Cub production in the 21 years after '58.
There were more built in the first year production of '47 than any year after '53.
It's a wild guess, but there may be more surviving '47s than most of the later years.

A - Golden colored brew with a small but long-lasting white head. Nice lace on the glass.
S - Big fruity hops with a hint of pine. This one is one of the most fruit oriented noses on an IPA I've had (without that fruit being grapefruit, although that is there too).
T - Bitter hops with an astringent sour note that is almost too much for me. Lemon, orange rind, and the most sour of unripe grapefruits. Individuality is good, and this is quite unique, but it strays a bit far from the standard IPA formula IMO.
M - Medium bodied, bready, and slightly toasty. This one is causing me to pucker up and make a "sour" face. Not bad sour, but not quite that exquisite super-hop pucker either.
D - This is a very assertive brew that will put fear in the hearts of hop-haters everywhere. I love the hops, and it's almost too acrid for me... not in a super-hopped way... there is something else here adding some sourness. It's almost brett-ish in a way, although I seriously doubt that brett is actually used for this one. I'm kinda torn on this one.

Poured into a nonic a hazy lighter amber shade with a a huge blooming white head that went over the sides even with a softer pour.Juicy grapefruit-like hops over top of some alcohol and biscuit malt,the alcohol was pretty large for a smaller beer.Grapefruit flavors along with fruity/gummy notes,it is a little sweet but the hops really burst out at ya.It's a little watery in the back end but it's a flavor packed ipa,again the alcohol to me seems bigger than what it is.

Translucent light copper. Single finger, good lacing. Would have liked a deeper color.
Piney, grapefruit, malt. Somewhat light, more floral than powering.
Little chewey, somewhat wet. Light malt, pine present. Something unnatural, though not harsh.
Light, abv light. Couild use a little more malt to counter act ~6%
Good. might desire some more aroma
Id move forward instead of moving back to it

3/5 rDev -19.8%
12 oz bottle, best by 8/1/09. Pours a glowing hazy golden with a thick creamy head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is bready malts and grassy hops with a little pine and fruit.
The flavor is a little subdued and watery. It's got some floral spicy tarry hops with a tinge of sweet fruity malts that leads to a kind of flavorless bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with some sharp carbonation.
Overall, this IPA is not up my alley. It seems like a lot of the nose and taste is washed out except for the tarry bitterness in the aftertaste.

12oz brown bottle with a freshness date
LOOK: Mildly hazed golden hue, good sudys lacing
SMELL: Piney, catty, tangerine, mango, doughy biscuits, nutty yeast, esters
TASTE: Crisp, wet, moderate body, oily hop, balanced bitterness, orange peel, dried grass, chalky, herbal, leafy, blonde tobacco, black tea, dry finish
Fresh, somewhat aggressive and quite drinkable. Bitterness is pretty high but is does not take over the palate, more than enough to let you know that it is an IPA.

12 ounce bottle, best before 12/29/12 etched onto the bottle.
Pours near clear, lighter amber. Large off white and loose head, that stays before going to a thicker collar and ample spotty lace.
Distinct note of cascades in the nose.
Well hopped and quite enjoyable IPA. Grapefruit hoppy notes, ample malts to provide some balance. Some lime soaked dryness in the finish. Nicely done...

Poured into a Sam Adams perfect Pint Glass
Appearance: high carbonation, orange-gold in color, 3/4 inch head, clear
Smell: citrus hops--oranges and lemons
Taste: citrus--tangerine orange, grapefruit with some pine hops and caramel
Mouthfeel: light bodied, high carbonation, bitter with some sweetness in the middle and a more bitter/dry end--bitter but never mouth puckeringly so
Overall: Bitter and clean. This would be an IPA that I would reach for if I wanted an IPA. A nice sipper.

Served on tap.
A: Hazy light amber...slightly orange. Nice, big frothy head. All kinds of lacing as the head dissipates.
S: The nose offers up pine and citrus...am I detecting some lemon?
T: Very good. Nice hop bite and finishes quite clean. Pine notes are noticeable but overwhelming.
M: The feel is on the oily side. It has just the right amount of carbonation. Quite smooth for an IPA.
D: This is a very good beer. I could have several of these without thinking twice about it.
Overall: I'm impressed with this one as I wasn't expecting a lot. A bartender friend of mine brought this to me to try and I loved it. It had just been tapped a few minutes earlier and it was great! Try it if you get a chance.

The beer pours a dark yellow color with a white head. The aroma is orange and pine hops. The flavor is orange and lemon hops as well as some bready and caramel malt. There is a nice grassy character to the flavor as well. Low to medium bitterness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very nice, easy drinking IPA.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Appearance: Hazy light orange with nice foamy white head and slight lacing.
Smell: Light citrus and sweet toasted pale malt - not too much aroma.
Taste: Bitter throughout, with some orange and toasted malt upfront, and then turns more spicy and herbal, with a hint of pine. While not overly bitter, there is not a lot of flavor beyond that.
Feel: Moderate carbonation, medium body, very dry finish.
Drinkability: Quite refreshing and even enjoyable, but I just wish there was a little more complexity to the taste and certainly the aroma.

Golden amber appearance with great clarity. A good half inch of tightly packed foam caps it off. Brussels lace on the glass. I smell a prominent pine like hop aroma. The taste is initially a moderate bitterness that is very well balanced with a light malt backbone. The fade gives you more of the bitterness. Mouth is slightly sticky,but dry and pretty easy going.

Also in this section…?
Between 1830 and 1930 about forty million people left Europe in search of a new and better life.
About nine million of them sailed from Liverpool, then the largest emigration port in the world. These people were mostly travelling to North America, Australia and New Zealand - the 'New World'.
Most who sailed from Liverpool were ordinary people leading ordinary lives. Many found their better life, others were less fortunate.
Many of them, and their descendants, made major contributions to the development of the countries to which they emigrated.
This gallery tells their story, including

Nelson Oliveira comes on for Hugo Almeida, who has done absolutely nothing useful for Portugal today. Who was the last
good competent centre forward Portugal have produced? Anyway, it's Spain who have the ball and substitute Jesus Navas presses forward. It's a dangerous attack, but he manages to foil it by delaying his pass and then crossing to nobody, which is pretty disappointing.
Portugal try to break out, and Cristiano Ronaldo gets himself fouled. His first free kick is blasted into the wall, where it's blocked by Alvaro Arbeloa's arm. Free kick the second flies well over Iker Casillas' net. Ronaldo's set pieces have been pretty sublimely disappointing today, which is a shame because they represent some of Portugal's best chances to stage a major upset. I'd say this game really needs a goal, but we're now five minutes from full time and it's still 0-0, so duh.

South Carolina's second largest health insurer is pulling out of the state.
The company says it's mainly due to the Affordable Care Act.
About 28-thousand people in South Carolina have health insurance with the Carolina Care Plan. It is part of Medical Mutual of Ohio.
The company says it is leaving the state because of the Affordable Care Act.
Spokesman Ed Byers says, "Under new regulations, which are vast and quite complex, it is in our best interest to focus on our core market of Ohio where we are headquartered and have been doing business successfully for nearly 80 years."

WENDELL — An 18-year-old man was charged late Tuesday with causing bruises to the face, head, stomach, back arms and legs of his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter.
Wake County sheriff's deputies arrested Trevon Jocqui Williams at his home at 6999 Coopers Hawk Trail in an unincorporated part of Wake County with a Wendell address.
An arrest warrant charging Williams with intentional child abuse inflicting serious injury said the child was hurt Tuesday and that she was in his care at the time.
An arrest report says deputies took William into custody shortly before 11 p.m., but it is unclear when the incident happened or who called authorities.
Williams was being held in lieu of $60,000 bail for a first court appearance Nov. 13.

After a successful first semester, 537 Clarion: Community Learning Workshop, a drop-in homework, tutoring and community literacy center, recently received $12,000 in grants and donations from community foundations and local organizations.
Opened in October by Clarion University English professors Dr. Rich Lane and Dr. Leah Chambers and the students of the university, the workshop has served more than 300 local students and adults in the first three months of operation.
"The grants and donations allow us to sponsor programs that provide critical educational and enrichment opportunities to the local community," Chambers said. "Without outside grants and donations, we would not have the funds to support these projects or to even stay afloat."
537 Clarion has received:
An $8,000 Spark Grant from Pittsburgh's Sprout Fund, which supports innovative projects in the Greater Pittsburgh region that help children develop hands-on skills and digital literacies;
A $2,000 grant from The Buncher Family Foundation, a private family foundation which supports many causes, including the arts, children, youth development and education.
Two $1,000 donations, one each from Clarion American Legion and Clarion Rod and Gun Club.
Thanks to the grants and donations, 537 Clarion will host many free events this spring, including: Build-a-Book Night for children ages 4-10, Feb. 19; a "team read" facilitated by Clarion University women's soccer team, featuring the book "The Kicks" by Olympic gold medalist Alex Morgan, 6 p.m. March 6; The Art of Storytelling," a workshop for Clarion University education majors featuring author and illustrator Suzanne Bloom, 5 p.m. April 3, followed by a reading and book signing open to the public; and a ceramics workshop open to any interested community members, April 23.

It provides free educational and enrichment opportunities to residents of Clarion and surrounding communities.

Clarion University is the high-achieving, nationally recognized, comprehensive university that delivers a personal and challenging academic experience.


text: The photo of a nude woman trapped behind transparent plastic is an old cliche of both artistic nude and fetish photography. Having seen some good, but also many uninspired versions, I set myself a challenge: to shoot a fine-art nude series with a model and a large sheet of thin plastic, while avoiding this cliche. I thought this would become a long-term project, but then the stars aligned during this one shoot with model Delilah Shameless. As you will see in this book, I was inspired by dance, fashion, and abstract art, but if you want your trapped-in-plastic girl then you have to look elsewhere!

In his freshman season, the former Cordova High School standout was part of Auburn's first national championship team in 53 years.
Two years later, Smith and the Tigers suffered through a winless SEC season and put together one of the worst records in Auburn football history.
That roller-coaster ride is now complete.
With only a few games remaining in his Auburn career, the Tigers are ranked No. 6 in the BCS standings and have a shot at an SEC Championship — and possibly more.
"We've got a chance do something special," said Smith, a senior defensive back.
"We just have to stay focused on what we need to do. It's all on the line come Iron Bowl time. We believed we had a chance to be at this point. We've been working all summer for this."
This year's Iron Bowl, set for next Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium, will decide the SEC West champion.
Smith, a 2009 Cordova High School graduate, has saved his best for last at Auburn. After recording 50 tackles over the last two years, Smith has shined under new defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson.
Smith, who has started the last five games, is currently fifth on the team in tackles with 46.
He's also second on the team in interceptions with three — including one against Georgia's Aaron Murray in last week's thrilling 43-38 victory over the Bulldogs.
Auburn won the game despite allowing three touchdowns in the fourth quarter as Georgia rallied from a 37-17 deficit for a 38-37 with 1:49 remaining.
The Bulldogs took the lead on a 5-yard touchdown run on fourth down by Murray. Smith met Murray at the goal line on the play.
The play was ruled a touchdown and the call was upheld following a replay.
"No, I didn't think he was in, but that's what they called and we leaned on our offense to make a two-minute drive," Smith said.
Down a point and facing a 4th-and-18 play from its own 23-yard line, Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall threw a deep ball into double coverage.
Georgia defensive backs converged on the ball with Josh Harvey-Clemons batting the ball to Auburn's Ricardo Louis, who went untouched in the end zone for the winning score.
The play has had a life of its own, both on ESPN and social media.
"I'm standing there just watching the ball. When I saw the ball go up, I knew Ricardo has good hands and good eye coordination so he could make the play. It was the biggest play of the year by far," Smith said.
"I've never seen a game end like that. It was meant to be. It was meant for us to get that play in the end."
The Georgia game was just the latest thriller to go Auburn's way this season.
The Tigers have won four games by eight points or less.
Auburn needed a touchdown with 10 seconds remaining to beat Mississippi State 24-20 in the SEC opener and the Tigers turned to their defense in the end during a 45-41 victory at Texas A&M.
Smith had key interceptions against both Texas A&M and Georgia.
The Tigers turned both interceptions into points.
"That was the biggest catch of my career," Smith said of his interception of Murray.
"They had been running the same play and I knew he would come back to it. He overthrew it a little bit and I was there. Each game is more important so the plays you make are that much bigger."
Now Alabama stands in the way of Auburn and a trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game.
Auburn (10-1) will be going for its first win over the Tide since 2010. Smith likes Auburn's chances.
"Our team doesn't lack confidence at all," Smith said.
"We know what Alabama does. We know they are a sound football team. They're not going to beat themselves or make mistakes."

7/8 Update:
Capt. Jack Long died Monday morning from complications related to cancer. News 3's original profile of Long is below:
Original Post:
Jack Long started out as a police officer in Atlanta when he was twenty. The rest of his career has been spent with the Columbus Police Department, 38 years all together.
Jack was recently diagnosed with cancer. That news rocked the police force and many in the community who know him.
Last Friday a barbecue fundraiser was held for Captain Long near Columbus State University's uptown campus. Jack mustered up enough strength to greet many of his friends and comrades.
Captain J.D. Hawk has known Jack for 35 years. Hawk says, "Criminals don't want to mess with him because he's a mountain of a man. But that's not the person we know. He's a big, caring teddy bear to us. He'll do anything in the world for you."
Jack has found it difficult to keep work off his mind. Corporal Christy Truitt works with Long and says, "Even when he's sick he was coming to work. When he was first diagnosed he would still come into the office for 15, 20, 30 minutes just to make sure he could get done what he needed to get done."
Mayor Teresa Tomlinson credits Long with being instrumental in the revitalization of Uptown Columbus. "He was one of the pioneers in making uptown safe again. He was one of the first officers assigned to that duty. And it was really his work that allowed those businesses to come back and thrive. So when you see that vibrant downtown today, you can credit Jackie Long with that."
Jack has also been a good neighbor in the truest sense of the word. Columbus City Councilor Judy Thomas recalls when Jack used to live next door to her Aunt Docia. Thomas says, "Aunt Docia was a single lady, an older lady. And when Jack would mow his grass, he'd just keep mowing and mow Aunt Docia's grass, too."
Jack has been a familiar face to a lot of businesses that have hired him for security over the years. Scott Ressmeyer with Country's Barbecue is a good example. Ressmeyer says, "Probably 25 years ago Jack Long started doing security for us up at Country's on Macon Road. Those nights when you're there as a manager and you're closing up, you spend hours getting to know somebody. From that point on Jack became family. You can't find a better individual."
Heart-felt hugs, handshakes and words of encouragement were flowing last Friday at the barbecue. One of Jack's co-workers, Christy Truitt, summed it up best. "We love him. We're praying for him everyday, and we can't wait for him to come back to work."
The Fraternal Order of Police has opened an account in Jack Long's name at any CB&T bank for anyone wishing to make a donation to help the family with medical expenses.

The American dream is alive and well in Haverhill, no small thanks to Northern Essex Community College.
Milovan Jovic and his wife discovered that, and now their education, careers and family life are taking off. (See story, Page 1.)
They arrived in the United Stated separately as immigrants years ago when they were children. They learned English and American culture and economics, but Milovan was struggling with building his future.
He knew he needed a college education to plant the seeds of a career, but he was having trouble affording school.
Along came Zuleyka, who had already discovered NECC and how affordable its classes are compared to many other colleges and universities. She recommended NECC to him.
The two of them fell in love, and Milovan also loved the idea of going to NECC. He looked into the school and before long was taking classes he could afford and which promised to provide a solid career path. Then came some scholarship money through the college to stabilize his financial situation.
Milovan discovered what hundreds, even thousands of people before him had found out: NECC is a perfect fit for students struggling financially.
It is also a good fit for students who are uncertain of the direction they want to take — people, for instance, who graduate from high school but would be taking a risk going away to an expensive four-year college. They are uncertain about what to study or what career to pursue. They would be in jeopardy of dropping out and being saddled with big college bills, but no diploma.
They can go to NECC and take courses parttime, spending limited money and building up come credits while they figure out their future. They can earn an associate's degree relatively cheaply and then transfer to another school to gain the final two years of their bachelor's degree.
And for people looking to change careers, whether due to layoffs or new interests, NECC provides a variety of training. Many a person's working life has been restarted by job counseling and classes at Northern Essex's main campus in Haverhill and satellite campus in Lawrence.
The bottom is this: Greater Haverhill is fortunate to have a college like Northern Essex. And the more people who discover it, the better.

Seattle Seahawks
Richard Sherman - #25 - CB
|6' 3"/ 195 lbs.
|Compton, CA
|Years played
|2011, 5th round, 23rd pick by Seahawks
Branch's exit from Seattle makes few waves
There was nary a shrug when the disappointing Deion Branch era came to an abrupt halt in Seattle with his Oct. 11 trade back to the Patriots in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick.
Patriots reacquire Branch from Seattle
The Patriots reacquired WR Deion Branch from Seattle on Monday, according to reports by ESPN and NFL Network, both of whom cite a league source. Both reports say that the Seahawks will receive a 2011 fourth-round draft choice in return.
Reports: Patriots in talks with Seahawks about WR Branch
While nothing is close to imminent, the Patriots and Seahawks are reportedly talking about a potential trade involving Seahawks WR Deion Branch.
Seahawks hope Lynch will fill RB bill
There's strong reason to believe newly acquired Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch will benefit from a badly needed change of scenery.
Bills trade RB Lynch to Seahawks
The Bills have agreed to trade RB Marshawn Lynch to the Seahawks for a 2011 fourth-round draft choice and a conditional choice in 2012, according to Fox Sports. To make room for Lynch, Seattle released veteran RB Julius Jones.
Seahawks LB Hill suspended one game
The league announced Monday that Seahawks LB Leroy Hill will be suspended one game and fined one additional paycheck for violating the league's personal-conduct policy.
Rams' defense stuffs Seahawks 20-3
QB Sam Bradford and a tough defense led the Rams to a 20-3 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Seahawks pleased with fill-in OT Polumbus
Seattle was very happy with the play of Tyler Polumbus while he was filling in for starting OLT Russell Okung, and Polumbus may soon get some opportunities at right tackle.
Seahawks LB Hill placed on I.R.
The Seahawks placed LB Leroy Hill on injured reserve because of an Achilles injury, ending his tumultuous season. The team re-signed DT Craig Terrill and promoted OG Mike Gibson from the practice squad.
Washington bolsters Seahawks' biggest strength
With the addition of Leon Washington, the league's leading kickoff returner, special teams continue to be the Seahawks' biggest strength.
Seahawks cut veteran OG Pitts
The Seahawks had high hopes for OG Chester Pitts but were forced to cut him on Thursday after he struggled to stay healthy.
Reports: Seahawks sign WR Stokley
The Seahawks have reportedly signed free agent WR Brandon Stokley and cut RB Quinton Ganther to make room on the roster.
Washington's two kick-return TDs lead Seahawks to victory
Leon Washington returned two second-half kickoffs for touchdowns of 101 and 99 yards, making up for a long list of Seattle mistakes, and the Seahawks held off Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers 27-20 on Sunday.
Seahawks far from giving up on Hasselbeck
Even though he had a very forgettable performance against the Broncos in Week Two, we hear Matt Hasselbeck remains firmly entrenched as Seattle's starting quarterback.
McLoughlin announced as Seahawks president
The Seahawks named Peter McLoughlin their new president, replacing Tod Leiweke.
Sherman won his appeal of a four-game suspension for use of performance enhancing substances on Thursday, making him eligible for the NFL playoffs.||||||| Sherman posted "I won," on his Twitter account Thursday morning, followed by teammates tweeting their congratulations. Sherman added, "Thank you (at)nfl for upholding the truth! To the 12s Thank you your faith is rewarded! Thank you lord."
Sherman was expected to practice Wednesday, but the Seahawks aren't going blindly into the regular-season finale against St. Louis with the firm belief they will have their star cornerback available.||||||| Seattle coach Pete Carroll said they would rotate a few guys in along with Sherman during practice in case it comes down later in the week that Sherman's suspension for using performance enhancing substances is upheld. Sherman appealed the suspension last Friday.
Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says he is not concerned about Sherman's preparation for Sunday's game against San Francisco despite missing two days of practice.||||||| Carroll said after practice Friday that he expects Sherman to play against the 49ers. Sherman was reportedly absent, appealing his four-game suspension after testing positive for performance enhancing substances. Carroll says of Sherman, "I anticipate we'll have him. I know of nothing else."
Sherman is at the center of what could be a massive distraction for the Seattle Seahawks as they try to hold the last playoff spot in the NFC. Yet the talkative cornerback said Wednesday that this week is the same as always, despite news leaking out of failed drug tests by Sherman and fellow starting cornerback Brandon Browner.||||||| Sherman spoke for the first time since news first broke saying he and Browner failed tests for performance-enhancing drugs and face possible four-game suspensions. The Seahawks expect the pair to play this week at Chicago as they appeal.
Sherman says he has no regrets over the strong comments and messages from his Twitter account following the Seattle Seahawks' victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. Sherman had an interception in the second half against the Patriots, and the Seahawks rallied for 14 points down in the final 7:31 to pull out the victory. According to STATS LLC, Sherman is tied for the NFL lead in passes defensed with 10.||||||| The Seahawks cornerback said Tuesday that he was directed to remove a picture from his Twitter account that showed Sherman talking to Patriots quarterback Tom Brady after Seattle's 24-23 win that included an added message"U Mad Bro?" But when asked if he regretted any of the attention that has come his way, Sherman said, "I don't regret anything about the situation. It is what it is."

My mother loves this in pink Growing up my mother had a pair of pink striped pedal-pushers that she used to wear all the time. (That style is now called the Capri pant) I was ssssooooo embarrassed as she sewed them herself....now I'm proud that she shared her sewing skills with me as I'm an avid quilter. I saw this muumuu was available in pink & just had to get for her. She tried on immediately & we both laughed as I told her why I ordered for her. March 14, 2013
Great for Recovery I had recent health issues that required hospitalization. I could not get out to the department stores to buy comfortable outfits to wear during my recovery. I found this dress and several others. I purschased five dresses in total. While two dresses were too large, I decided not to return them. Instead I donated them to a senior citizen who was wheelchair bound. She found the dresses comfortable as do I. My only caution is that the material does wrinkle after washing. Wash in cold water and in the short cycle-hang up immediately and you will find less wrinkles. November 27, 2012
Amazingly versatile item! When this dress arrived, I was disappointed because it is so pale. Then it occurred to me to use it as a combination lounge-wear/nightgown on trips - and it works splendidly for that dual purpose. But there's more: my husband wondered why I couldn't wear this on the street as well, and darned if he wasn't right! With a necklace it is a wonderful addition to my muu-muu wardrobe. I am so glad I kept it! August 23, 2012

By MARLIN JESCHKE
Quite occasionally news reports mention a Sunni-Shia rift in the Islamic world. Reports from Iraq, for example, may mention Sunnis blowing up a Shiite shrine, or killing Shiite pilgrims visiting such a shrine. What is this Sunni-Shiite division all about?
It goes back to the very beginning of Islam. When Muhammad died in 632 (according to our Western calendar) his followers immediately bestirred themselves to appoint a successor as head of the Islamic community. Muslims on all sides assumed there should be a successor, and "caliph" is simply the Arabic term for successor.
Some thought the caliph should be from Muhammad's family — his son-in-law Ali, since Muhammad himself had no surviving male heir. Others thought the successor should be picked from among the most qualified leaders. Picking a most qualified leader was actually the traditional practice among Arab Bedouins, and it was that policy that won out. They named Abu Bakr as the first caliph, a man who had been one of Muhammad's Companions and supporters from early on.
It's been a long-standing debate in both the world of religion and the world of politics — whether leadership succession should be by dynasty or by merit. Dynasty offers the advantage of name recognition, and the opportunity of grooming a successor. Choosing a leader according to merit offers the advantage of quality, talent, reputation and character.
Muslims did get around to appointing Muhammad's son-in-law Ali as their fourth Caliph. But because the previous caliph had been assassinated (although Ali had nothing to do with it), Ali faced an armed opposition. When he was about to vanquish this opposition Ali consented to a truce, for which a disaffected member of his own party then assassinated Ali.
Interestingly, the word assassin comes to us from the Arabic hashish, the drug that would-be assassins used to fortify themselves for their dastardly deeds. Assassination seems to have become a common method in the Islamic world to try to resolve problems, although in America too, sad to say.
After Ali's assassination his son Hussein accepted the challenge to defeat his enemy and was on his way to Kufa (in today's Iraq) to raise an army when he was intercepted at a place called Karbala (also in Iraq) and killed there. For that reason Shiites consider Hussein a martyr, and have made Karbala their holiest shrine.
Persistent followers of Ali and Hussein continued to pin their hopes on successive generations of his followers, 12 altogether, but one after another seems to have been poisoned or otherwise eliminated by the paranoid Sunni caliphs. When the 12th one mysteriously disappeared, Shiites claimed he had gone into hiding, and will reappear in some coming age to assume leadership of the Islamic world and set things right.
Meanwhile, Iranian Shiites (and Iran is officially Shiite) believe Ayatollah Khomeini received guidance from the hidden imam.
Shiite means simply "partisan" — that is, a partisan or supporter of Ali and his descendants.
There is no question otherwise about the Shiites' Islamic identity. They make up about 10 to 15 percent of the Muslim world. Like Sunnis they consider Muhammad a prophet of God, they accept the Qur'an, and they pray toward Mecca, though only three times a day while Sunnis pray five times a day.
The Sunni Grand Mufti (supreme jurist) of Egypt has declared the Shiite version of sharia (Islamic law) valid. But for some reason there remains an abiding hostility between Sunnis and Shiites, at least in some parts of the world such as Iraq, the sort of lethal hostility that once obtained between Catholics and Protestants in post-Reformation England.
Marlin Jeschke is professor emeritus of philosophy and religion at Goshen College. He taught at the college for 33 years. In 1968-69, he received a fellowship in Asian Religions to study Islam and Buddhism, spending five months at the Center for the Study of Religions and Harvard Divinity School and then five months traveling in Muslim countries of the Middle East, and Buddhist countries of Southeast Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia) and Japan. He is also the author of several books.

Supporting Indigenous student success at UVic
LE,NONET (pronounced "le-nong-it") is a SENĆOŦEN word that literally means "paddling a canoe in a storm and making it through to the other side. In a more figurative sense, LE,NONET can also be taken to mean "success after enduring many hardships." INAF acknowledges with gratitude and respect the late Earl Claxton Sr. (YELḰÁTŦE), SENĆOŦEN knowledge keeper of the Tsawout First Nation, and Elder John Elliott (STOLȻEȽ), of the Tsartlip First Nation, for sharing this information.
LE,NONET provides a suite of programs designed to welcome and support Indigenous students (status, non-status, Inuit, Métis) throughout their educational journeys at the University of Victoria.
Academic Program
LE,NONET offers a series of courses in conjunction with the Indigenous Studies Minor program. Interested students can count these courses toward the requirements for an IS minor.
Preparation Seminar (Indigenous Studies 310, 1.5 units)
This seminar is a pre-requisite for the Research Apprenticeship and Community Internship courses.
This weekly seminar will provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to work in Indigenous communities, with Indigenous organizations, or within campus-based academic research teams through a Research Apprenticeship (320) or Community Internship (321). It includes a basic overview of historical and contemporary issues facing Indigenous peoples, and an introduction to western and Indigenous research methodologies.
Beginning with the 2013-2014 academic year, students will be required to have credit in a 200-level Indigenous Studies course (or equivalent transfer credit) as a pre-requisite for this course.
If you are interested in registering for the seminar, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Research Apprenticeship (Indigenous Studies 320, 1.5 units)Research Apprentices complete 120 hours of research under the supervision of a UVic faculty member. Students must complete the IS 310 Preparation Seminar pre-requisite with a B+ (77%) or higher in order to register for this course.
Community internships (Indigenous Studies 321, 1.5 units)
Community Interns complete 120 hours of work experience carried out in an Indigenous community or organization of the student's choice. Students must complete the IS 310 Preparation Seminar pre-requisite with a B+ (77%) or higher in order to register for this course.
Student Support Programs
LE,NONET offers a number of student support programs.
LE,NONET bursaries are awarded annually to Indigenous students who demonstrate financial need. Any Indigenous full-time undergraduate student who is in good academic standing (GPA of 2.0 or higher) at the University of Victoria is eligible to apply for a bursary of up to $3000 annually. Applications are available to students in August/September and April/May. For more information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Mentorship Programs
LE,NONET provides mentorship opportunities for prospective, new, and returning students.
We currently offer two programs:
The UVic Campus Cousins Program is a peer mentorship program for Indigenous students. It is designed to strengthen connections between Indigenous students on campus and to create opportunities that will help them to succeed.
Campus Cousins are upper-level, returning Indigenous students who are trained to provide guidance and assistance to new/first-year Indigenous students on campus in the following ways:
- Planning and facilitating skill building workshops and campus connection events that offer opportunity for social networking and community building
- Being available for students to drop in, ask questions and make connections in the First Peoples House throughout the week
- Being available and accessible on Facebook and through email for students to ask questions and seek guidance throughout the year
The UVic Campus Connections Program aims to create connections between Indigenous students at UVic and prospective students in local high schools. The program offers Indigenous high school students an opportunity to explore their educational goals and to make connections with UVic students who will share their personal education journeys.
The program provides a series of opportunities that can be customized to meet the needs of each school. These include (but are not limited to):
- A UVic recruitment information presentation and classroom visit from UVic students with a focus on sharing their personal education experiences
- A visit to UVic campus hosted by UVic students, which can include lunch, campus tour and a career exploration activity

Old Dominion University will provide shuttle bus service for students, faculty and staff wishing to donate blood at Norfolk Scope today. The Virginia Rice Webb Room in Webb Center also will be available for use in observing today's National Day of Prayer and Remembrance.
Service will begin at 8:15 a.m. and run until 4:30 p.m. Busses will leave Webb Center and Elkhorn Avenue at fifteen minutes past the hour and head to the Clarion Hotel, where some students currently are housed, and on to Scope, then back to campus. The Clarion/Scope pick-up will be on the half-hour.
In response to President Bush's call for today to be a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, the University Chaplain's Association has reserved the Virginia Rice Webb room in Webb Center for the entire day as a place where all members of the University community can pause to pray, remember and reflect. There will be cards available for privately leaving the names of specific people whom you would like to remember. All faith traditions are welcome and respected.
In fact, there are a number of ways members of the Old Dominion community can help victims of Tuesday's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., with the major ones being giving blood or money, and by showing their pride in America.
Ribbons are being given out at the Campus Information Center in Webb Center Lobby.
The History Honor Society is collecting bottled water and white cotton socks to help rescue workers in New York and Washington, D.C. Supplies can be dropped off in room 700 or 800 of the Batten Arts and Letters Building and in room 110 of the Mills Godwin Jr. Life Sciences Building.
In addition to the blood drives from noon - 6 p.m. today at Norfolk Scope, another blood drive will be held Saturday, Sept. 15, from noon to 6 p.m. at Chesapeake General Hospital.
Financial contributions can be made by calling 446-7743.
The Red Cross has activated its Aviation Incident Response (AIR) Team to respond in New York City, and trained disaster workers are providing relief in New York and Washington. Blood donations in inventory are ready to ship to the affected areas and donations will be needed to replenish the nation's supply.
For more information call the Tidewater Chapter of the American Red Cross at 446-7743 or the national organization at 1-800-GIVE-LIFE.
In addition, the United Way of South Hampton Roads has set up a special fund. Individuals can contribute through the
United Way campaign by designating to the "Attack on America Relief Fund" on their pledge cards or they can send a check or money order to the United Way of South Hampton Roads, P.O. Box 41069, Norfolk, VA 23541. The money will go directly to the victims and families affected by this terrible tragedy.
