Betty #194A comic review article by: Penny Kenny
Betty#194 proves that while art styles may change, slapstick humor, comic misunderstandings, and romantic troubles never go out of style. The five reprints collected here capture the iconic qualities of the characters and remind readers why so many people retain fond memories of Archie Comics. Plus, they're just plain fun. In Frank Doyle and Dan DeCarlo's "How Sweet It Was," Betty tries to earn some quick cash to buy a dress for a date with Archie. When she doesn't have any success selling "Costly Cosmetics," Archie lends a hand - with smashing results. Betty's optimism, one of her notable characteristics, is on full display here,
though she gives up a little quicker than her modern incarnation would. Still, you can't blame her for that when you see the opposition she faces. Younger readers might be surprised at the paternalistic way Archie talks about Betty -- "She's a good kid, Jug. She deserves a nice break now and then" -- but Doyle is following the early template of Betty loving Archie and Archie loving Veronica instead of the more familiar love triangle. Doyle's "Strange Love" is from a later era and features a Sabrina who has significant interaction with the non-magical Archie cast. In this story, the teenage witch uses her magic and Archie to get back at her boyfriend Harvey. This Sabrina harkens back to the mischievous, even callous at times, version of the character's first appearance. She uses her magic for her benefit with no qualms about it. The addition of the regular Archie cast makes for entertaining comic confusion in the style of the BewitchedTV series.
An unidentified author contributed the very amusing "Errant Boy," a tale that begins with Archie helping out Betty, but quickly evolves into a competition between Betty and Veronica. This is a smart, funny script. Betty and Veronica are both manipulative, having an edge their contemporary versions do not. Archie is hapless, but not a fool. In a way "Errant Boy" is similar to Billy Wilder's screwball comedy The Major and the Minor.
It's a ridiculous situation played straight by smart (but not as smart as they think they are) characters. The art for each of these stories is provided by Dan DeCarlo, a master of the female form. There's no mistaking his girls for anything but girls. The 50s era fashions of full skirts in "Errant Boy" emphasize the girls' trim waists and full bosoms. "Errant Boy" is also notable for having six to eight panels a page; yet neither pages nor panels feel crowded. Each panel contains exactly what it needs to tell the story. It has a very polished look and feel. DeCarlo also creates great comic looking characters. The bruiser Archie encounters in "How Sweet It Was" is a classic knuckle-dragger, while his wife looks like she walked out of Carol Burnett Show sketch. DeCarlo's panels all have an animated feel to them, as if he were putting a cartoon on paper. There's a montage of four panels in "How Sweet It Was" showing Betty going door to door that is just wonderful. The overlapping of the panels creates a sense of speed and movement. Bill Woggon's "Katy Keene" also makes an appearance this issue, though the focus of the story is on the tall-tale telling Skipper Mason. Here the dapper old Santa Claus look-alike explains to Katy and Sis how he came to bring them a monkey for a present. This is a fun story full of jungle animals, sharp writing, and comic twists. Woggon mixes comic and more realistic art styles, giving the story a visual feel similar to Chester Gould's Dick Tracy. Rounding out the issue is a Joe Edwards "Li'l Jinx" one-pager. It's a pun gag I found amusing, but I'm not sure younger kids will get it. Still the expressions Edwards depicts almost carry the story on their own. If you're a comic historian Betty #194 is a relatively cheap time capsule of art and attitudes from the '50s through the '70s. If you're just a casual reader looking for some fun, this issue also provides plenty of that.
For the past thirteen years, Penny Kenny has been an elementary library paraprofessional in a rural school district. For the seven years prior to that, she headed a reading-math program designed to help first grade students with learning difficulties. Her book reviews regularly appeared in Starlog from 1993 to the magazine's unfortunate demise in 2009 and she has published several e-novellas under a pen name. She has been a reviewer with Comics Bulletin since 2007.

JA - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
A graphics-based language known as ESML (extended systems modeling language), which is an extension of the data flow diagram notation for representing control logic in models of real-time systems, is analyzed and summarized to provide a rigorous interpretation of ESML symbols and their combinations. Based on elementary and compact (high-level) Petri nets (PNs), to which a succinct introduction is given, formal foundations for ESML, and in particular for its transformation schema (TS) notation, are proposed. Translation principles as well as examples of usual transformation and flow patterns are presented both in TS and PN notation. The resulting PN models are rigorous and accurate models of the dynamics of real-time systems with signals, prompts, and data flows of various kinds. Due to their formally defined token game they can be executed and used to study indeterminism and concurrency of events.

PALO ALTO ONLINE Staff STATE WHY YOU CENSOR!
Original post made by DT on Apr 25, 2013
Can Palo Alto ONLINE please publish their own criteria for when and why they do this to a topic?
Comments (7)
on Apr 25, 2013 at 9:23 pm
TD - I think this is an excellent question! This question was raised in various ways, various threads. I am in total agreement that anything specifying personal details of kids or others should be removed (better not posted). Other then that - I do not understand. I happened to see several comments which were removed later, where I could not figure out the reason of removal. On the other hand - some other very offensive and racist comments were left untouched. Seems to me that it would make sense that an anonymous poster would not take a counter comment "personally".
I think it is good, and even important to know what is "out there" - including racism etc.
on Apr 25, 2013 at 9:57 pm
I have just read the Palo Alto Online Terms of Use, and there is no explaination as to why a thread gets closed to all but registered users. I would very much appreciate knowing the criteria that is used to determine when a thread will be closed down to people who are not registered users.
on Apr 26, 2013 at 12:07 am
Palo Alto Online has refused to be answerable or professional about its censoring behavior. It has also not realized and reacted to the fact that whatever it is, they do not even enforce it quickly, equally or consistently ... which is why people are angry and asking in the first place.
I think this is really nasty as it can really make innocent good citizens mad who just come here to discussion things with their fellow Palo Altans.
Problems usually start when someone is is rude or condescending in an comment, yet the inciting comment is rarely recognized as the problem and deleted or edited, and the perpetrator never held responsible.
Probably the easiest example of this are the constant out of the blue attacks on political liberals irrelevantly and pointlessly, yet these comments are very rarely acted on ... and almost never without making several complaints.
I think it's time that Palo Alto Online starts committing to serving everyone here and not foisting some unfair partisan censorship on it's participants. Either censor professionally, fast and consistent, or leave the commentary open. Enough of these stretching the terms of use to be useful to whomever is editor for the day.
How about PAO? Can we look for more responsible and serious management of the Town Square Forum?
on Apr 26, 2013 at 7:00 am
Online is not FREE. It always has agenda in mind..
on Apr 26, 2013 at 8:19 am
I agree that many times the editing on this forum makes no sense. Sometimes it is very biased and certain members of the community are " protected" from criticism by the editors. Jake is right, the weekly has an agenda --- too make as much money as possible while stroking the egos of the powers that be in palo alto.
If you are unhappy with this do not donate to the weekly. Also contact the advertisers and let them know how you fell. Also you can tell them that you will not be doing business with them because they advertise with the weekly.
on Apr 26, 2013 at 8:46 am
I've had a couple of my posts partially censored in the past. I didn't like it but that's the PAO's prerogative. Life does go on.
The way I look at it is that this site belongs to the PA Weekly, a private entity. They pay the bills, they can do what they want. And the idea that there are huge profits in running a newspaper is simply laughable.
If it is that big of a deal, then why not start your own online community forum and host at your expense?
on Apr 26, 2013 at 3:03 pm
Ditto to Crescent Park Dad.
I value the comment section as highlighting the community issues where feelings run strong or controversial. Some news items get a flood and others a trickle. I often find the comments informative, and sometimes they even effect a shift in my own viewpoint.
I wouldn't want to see what this site would become if there were no oversight by staff. And I'm sure they don't wish to spend their energy quibbling over whether or not they're adhering to some set of published comment guidelines that could not possibly foresee every course a thread here could take.
If you were a member and logged in you could track comments from this story.

2008 Season
11/10/2008 AT- Arizona Cardinals (5-3) L 29-24
This was an incredibly hard game for us 49ers fans to swallow. It was only Singletary's 2nd game as head coach, and effectively knocked usout of the "playoff race" mid way through the season. The Cardinals stopped Michael Robinson at the 2 yard line as time expired.
11/23/2008 AT- Dallas Cowboys (6-4) L 22-35
This was a pretty well played game. Shaun Hill thew for over 300 yards,and Isaac Bruce had a 125 yards receiving. However, it was apparent that the 49ers were not in the same league as the Cowboys. After falling down 22-6 at the half, the 49ers came out and outscored the Cowboys 16-13 in the 2nd half, the game was already over at this point.
11/30/2008 AT- Buffalo Bills (6-5) W 10-3
Not the prettiest game in the world, but it was a win against a team .500 or better. Buffalo nearly doubled up the 49ers total yard total.
12/7/2008 VS- New York Jets (8-4) W 24-14
Now this was a nice win for the 49ers against Brett Favre. It also represented this hit (sorry Brad Smith i had to link. it. The 49ers absolutely dominated this game againt the Jets. 25 first downs to 10, 375 total yards to 182. The 49ers doubled up the Jets in passing yards, and Brett Favre was limited to 4.4 yards per attempt and 0TDs.
12/14/2008 AT- Miami Dolphins (8-5) L 9-14
The 49ers played real well against another potential playoff team, however, fell after garnering only 3 FGs. Once again they dominated in time of possession, total yards, and first downs.
12/28/2008 VS- Washington Redskins (8-7) W 27-24
Another game against a team .500 or better, and another competitive game, however, the 49ers won this game to enter the off-seaon on a good note.
2009 Season
9/27/2009 AT- Minnesota Vikings (2-0) L 24-27
This sticks into our minds as much as any game in recent memory. Yes, we woud "Favred", but the officials didn't help our cause. I remember horrible personal foul penalties, and a phanton pass interference call. Besides, Greg Lewis was out of bounds (i know he wasn't, but it makes me feel better to say that). Really don't want to re-live this game more than i have to.
10/11/2009 VS- Atlanta Falcons (2-1) L 45-10
Now this was an absolutely ugly game. 28 first downs to 13, 477 yards to 279, and minus 13:00 time of possession. Singletary knew his team was destroyed, and well they were
10/25/2009 AT- Houston Texans (3-3) L 21-24
The re-re-re-re birth of Alex Smith. After falling down 21-0 at the half Singletary and Co. turned to Alex Smith, who promptly threw three 2nd half touchdowns, all to Vernon Davis. However, th 49ers fell by three points, in yet another close loss that has now com to define Singletary's 49ers regime.
11/1/2009 AT- Indianapolis Colts (6-0) L 14-18
Another excruciating defeat for the 49ers. I mean they were winning 14-12 after three quarters against the then undefeated Indianapolis Colts. Some missed tackles, penalties, and overthrows by Alex Smith and the 49ers lost. I think you can see the theme now.
11/12/2009 VS- Chicago Bears (4-3) W 10-6
Five interceptions later, and the 49ers pulled of a dramatic win in the final minutes. Jay Cutler pretty much gave this gam to them, but someone has to take it right?
11/22/2009 AT- Green Bay Packers (5-4) L 24-30
This was the game where Michael Crabtree caught his 1st NFL TD pass, and man was it a great catch. However, the 49ers fell once again in a one score game against a wnning club.
11/29/2009 VS- Jacksonville Jaguars (6-4) W 20-3
A great all around performance for the 49ers. Alex Smith had a 97 QB Rating with 2TDs and 0 INTs. This brought the 49ers right back into the playoff race.
12/14/2009 VS- Arizona Cardinals (8-4) W 24-9
Seven Arizona Cardinals turnovers and would you expect a different result? Additionally, Kurt Warner had a QB Rating of 44. This was a fun game to watch.
12/20/2009 AT- Philadelphia Eagles (10-3) L 27-13
After falling behind 20-3 at the half a Nedney FG and TD pass from Smith to Morgan brought the 49ers back to within a score. However, it would be for not; Philadelphia scored on a 2 yard McCoy TD run in the 4th to put the game away.
2010 I will not get too much into depth as these games are recent memory for all of us 49ers fans
9/20/2010 VS- New Orleas Saints (1-0) L 25-22
9/26/2010 AT- Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) L 31-10
10/3/2010 AT- Atlanta Falcons (2-1) L 14-16 (Thank you Clements)
11/14/2010 VS- St. Louis Rams (4-4) W 23-20
11/21/2010 VS- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-3) L 21-0
12/5/2010 AT- Green Bay Packers (7-4) L 34-16
12/12/2010 VS- Seattle Seahawks (6-6) W40-21
So there you have it, a record of 8-14 against .500+ teams under Mike Singletary. 7-3 at home, and 1-11 on the road.
Some Statistics in regard to these games
Record: 8-14 Home 7-3 Away: 1-11
49ers PPG: 18.3
Opponent PPG: 21.6
Average Point differential: -3.3
One Score Games: 12
Over 1/2 of the 49ers games against winning teams have been one score games, however, they are 1-11 on the road in these types of games under Singletary. I love how we compete against "better" teams, i just don't love the results. In fact, we should have won against Minnesota and Indianapolis (2009), and New Orleans and Atlanta (2010). Our losses against the Vikings and Colts may have cost us a 2009 playoff spot, and depending on the final three games, Nate Clements mistake against the Falcons may cost us a 2010 playoff spot. It doesn't look great going up against San Diego (1-11 on road against .500 teams). However, i know the 49ers can play with San Diego, and a win could ALMOST guarantee us the division.
What do you think?

Either Apple hasn't updated their website for the XServe or they don't plan on selling the XServe with Leopard. The XServe also seems to cost too much compared to what you can get for the same price with a Mac Pro. Anyone else notice this?

Maybe I should be more specific.
Currently Ryan Hollins has a Rebound Rate of 9.2. Most of you I assume know that that's bad, but do we really know how bad? Let's put it in relative terms...
Since 1946, there have been 1434 Seasons by NBA Centers who have played as many minutes as Ryan Hollins. Of those seasons, only 14 times has a Center managed to post a worse Rebound Rate then Ryan Hollins' 9.2...
Since Ryan Hollins was entered into the starting line-up, he has averaged about 24 minutes/game. Of the 14 centers ahead of Ryan Hollins on the list, only 3 played more minutes/game than Ryan Hollins is currently playing.
So there you have it. If you want to know why our rebounding has been so atrocious recently, look no further then the epically bad rebounder we're currently starting at Center.It's that simple.
Here is the basketball-reference link.
In other news, Kevin Love's Rebound Rate of 21.6 is currently good for the 19th best season by any forward that has played 1000 minutes. That's 19th best out of 3554!!

Title: The Death and Afterlife Book: The Encyclopedia of Death, Near Death, and Life After Death
Author: James R. Lewis
Publisher: Visible Ink Press
Provides information from many cultures
Offers unique perspectives on important theologians
Good basic reference to have on this topic
No solid information on skepticism
Explains nature and variety of afterlife and after-death beliefs
Over 250 articles of varying lengths in dictionary format
Each entry offers suggestions for more information and further reading
Book Review
There exist many books about afterlife beliefs, but James R. Lewis The Death and Afterlife Book: The Encyclopedia of Death, Near Death, and Life After Death offers a particularly comprehensive look at such beliefs from around the world, thus providing readers which a resource not commonly available. The book contains over 250 articles arranged in a dictionary format. Some entries are only a few pages while others run over several pages, and each has a list of sources for further reading.
Unfortunately, it starts out on a sour note as Raymond Moody, in his forward, writes:
- ...there is a life after death, but one cannot fully realize it until one achieves a certain kind of maturity, for one cannot attain the realization by applying ordinary rules of inference or through ordinary ways of learning. This knowledge is not for the immature or the young...
Skeptics, evidently, just arent mature enough to know what he knows something he achieved through means not amenable to normal critical thinking, conveniently enough. Fortunately, Lewis does not resort to such ad hominems either in his introduction or in the rest of the book. Instead, he focuses on the nature of afterlife beliefs themselves.
One of the strengths of the book is its multicultural approach. Most information does relate to Western beliefs and Western religious perspectives, but there is still quite a lot of information on the beliefs from other regions of the world and other religious traditions. For example, the entry on Africa, which is the second in the book, provides very extensive material on ancestor cults, funeral rites, and more.
Another strength is the fact that it provides a unique perspective on some old names which should otherwise be familiar. Every reference work on religion or philosophy mentions, for example, Thomas Aquinas, but Lewis discusses his views on the afterlife something not usually covered in other sources.
A principle weakness, however, is the dearth of skeptical information and skeptical perspectives on afterlife beliefs. Skepticism does not appear at all in the index, doesnt have its own entry, and, when mentioned in other articles, the position is not presented very strongly. This is perhaps the most definitive skeptical statement in the book:
- It has been argued that it is not reasonable to consider NDEs as evidence of survival unless other naturalistic causes for these experiences can be excluded. It is possible that all NDEs can be explained by naturalistic causes, such as psychological, physiological, neurological, or pharmacological manifestations. Religious beliefs, wishful thinking, or medications such as morphine may facilitate the experience.
- Also, disturbance of brain functions and cerebral anoxia are known to cause hallucinations, which may occur in nearly all dying patients.
In addition, there are no entries on drugs like ketamine or hallucinogens which produce experiences like those reported by people who claim to have visited a realm beyond physical existence. There is also nothing on the work of Dr. Michael Persinger, who has created a machine which allows him to produce OBEs and NDEs in research subjects. On the other hand, the book also doesnt present the afterlife beliefs as if they were definite fact the beliefs are simply described as they are. Nevertheless, a fair presentation of the skeptical position would have made the book more balanced.
This is probably a good book for both skeptics and believers looking for a basic reference on afterlife beliefs. It provides a wide range of information about beliefs from all over the world and attempts to present them in a fair and objective manner. Its not a perfect reference, but it is a good one to have around if you need to be able to research and read on the topic.

Judy M. Wyland, 73, Bridgeport
Judy M Wyland, 73 of Bridgeport, Nebraska passed away Thursday, May 30, 2013 at Morrill County Community Hospital in Bridgeport. At her request, she was cremated. There will be no services at this time. Tributes of sympathy may be left at www.bbchapels.com. Bridgeport Memorial Chapel assisted the family with arrangements.
Judy was born November 19, 1939 in Broadwater, NE to Howard Manly LeBar and Dorothy Marie Hippen. In 1948, Judy underwent one of the first heart operations for a congenital patent ductus arteriosus. The surgery was experimental at the time and it was very difficult to find a doctor who would perform the surgery. Judy's family was able to find Dr. Potts from Children's Hospital in Chicago, IL and the surgery went very well.
She attended Broadwater Elementary and High School, and then attended Chadron State College before entering LPN School in Alliance, NE. She graduated from nursing school in 1959. Judy worked as an LPN in Chappell, NE.
She married John Alva Wyland on May 28, 1962 in Golden, CO. John enlisted in the Navy and they made their home all over the United States and even Africa. They lived in Colorado, San Francisco, CA; Brunswick, ME; Morocco, Africa; Corpus Christi, TX; San Diego, CA; Baker, MT; Danville, IA; Chadron, NE and finally returning to Bridgeport, NE in 1984. Of all the places Judy lived, she said she loved San Diego the most- weather was perfect all year round! Judy absolutely loved the military life and decorated her home with US Military memorabilia.
In her later years, Judy became very interested in the family genealogy and spent much time collecting photos and stories from the family history.
Judy loved her family the most and would give the skin off her back at the drop of a hat. Her favorite color was red and her home, clothing, jewelry and car reflected that. She very much enjoyed spending time in her yard tending to her flower gardens with her beloved standard poodles, Tobi and Teeka.
Judy was a member of the Messiah Lutheran church in Broadwater, NE.
Survivors include: son, Randy Wyland; daughter and son-in-law, Sherrie and Grant Iske; granddaughter, Lauren Kloer; grandson and wife, Brett and Jamie Iske; sister and brother-in-law, Janet and Gary Tuggle and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Jerry and Debbie Mundt and Norma and Jerome Kosmicki, brother-in-law, George Wickham, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Bill and Donna Meng and Leroy and Candy Wyland and many special nieces, nephews and cousins.
Judy was preceded in death by her husband John Wyland, son John B. Wyland, mother Dorothy Hippen Berta, father Howard LeBar, stepfather Louie Berta, granddaughter Lindsay Iske, nephew Kevin Tuggle, parents-in-law Alfred and Bertha Wyland, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Kenny and Colleen Wyland, sister-in-law Carol Wickham, niece Tonya M. (Wickham) Mracek and many treasured relatives.
She will be deeply missed by all.

b : something that is revealed by God to humans
b : a belief or story or a body of beliefs or stories relating to the past that are commonly accepted as historical though not verifiable
I am a former Pentecostal evangelist who renounced his beliefs for atheism in 1994. I have decided to write a blog where I share my thoughts and ideas about Christianity in general and the biblical God.
Mormonism is based on revelation, too, but during a literate time. If it weren't for the long tradition of believing revelations, Joseph Smith wouldn't have had a chance of starting a new religion.ReplyDelete
Absolutely true LadyA. What's ironic is that Mormonisms foundation is contrary to what the bible teaches about the teachings of Jesus.
6"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse! 9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God's curse!" Galatians 1:6-9
So much for the foundation of Mormonism and his new revelation which coincidentally came from an angel named Moroni.
Its as if when something is written in a book it makes it real. But then you point out the case of superman or harry potter and theists say its not the same.
As for the Koran, Muslims like to say it has never changed. Well except for the whole Sunni and Shia Muslim interpretations.
Christianity is exempt from its obvious textual and doctrinal flaws. Theists only see things through the lense of their faith. Confirmation bias is their master not reason.Delete

Drivers should not become complacent
Updated 11:56am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News
IT'S good news that road deaths in Oxfordshire reached a 40-year low last year.
But this should not be a reason for drivers to get complacent.
All 19 victims have families who are still grieving and are keen for new road safety measures and initiatives to be introduced.
Although the number of fatalities was at a 40-year low, the number of serious injury accidents has actually increased.
Road safety officers are only too well aware that the difference between a fatality and a serious accident can be a matter of seconds or centimetres.
No one thinks they are going to be involved in an accident but everyone needs to play their part to make the roads safer.
Road safety staff at the county council have successfully targeted accident blackspots, and publicised the dangers for drivers, but they know there is no guarantee the total number of fatalities will continue to fall.
However let's hope 2014 brings about even fewer deaths and serious injuries on our roads.

This is his first time running for public office, but he already has plans about how to improve the county.
"In terms of creating a greater appeal for this area, one of the areas I think we have to have is an on-going concern for is economic development. I hope to work with others to create the right alliances, to collaborate with others," says Hayes.

This year, Dr. Christianson had a special student named Steve. Steve was only a freshman, but was studying with the intent of going onto seminary for the ministry. Steve was popular, he was well liked, and he was an imposing physical specimen. He was now the starting center on the school football team, and was the best student in the professor's class.
" How many push-ups can you do?"
"Well, I can try," said Steve. "Can you do 300 in sets of 10? I have a class project in mind and I need you to do about 300 push-ups in sets of ten for this to work. Can you do it? I need you to tell me you can do it," said the professor.
Steve said, "Well... I think I can... yeah, I can do it."
Dr. Christianson went to the first girl in the first row and asked, "Cynthia, do you want to have one of these donuts?"
Cynthia said, "Yes."
Dr. Christianson then went to Joe, the next person, and asked, "Joe, do you want a donut?"
Walking down the second! aisle, Dr. Christianson came to Scott. Scott was on the basketball team, and in as good condition as Steve. He was very popular and never lacking for female companionship.
When the professor asked, "Scott do you want a donut?" Scott's reply was, "Well, can I do my own pushups?"
Scott said, "HEY! I said I didn't want one!"
Now by this time, Steve had begun to slow down a little. He just stayed on the floor between sets because it took too much effort to be getting up and down. You could start to see a little perspiration coming out around his brow.
Dr. Christianson started down the third row. Now the students were beginning to get a little angry. Dr. Christianson asked Jenny, "Jenny, do you want a donut?"
Steve did ten... Jenny got a donut.
By now, a growing sense of uneasiness filled the room. The students were beginning to say "No" and there were all these uneaten donuts on the desks.
Steve also had to really put forth a lot of extra effort to get these pushups done for each donut. There began to be a small pool of sweat on the floor beneath his face, his arms and brow were beginning to get red because of the physical effort involved.
Dr. Christianson asked Robert, who was the most vocal unbeliever in the class, to watch Steve do each push up to make sure he did the full ten pushups in a set because he couldn't bear to watch all of Steve's work for all of those uneaten donuts. He sent Robert over to where Steve was so Robert could count the set and watch Steve closely.
Dr. Christianson started down the fourth row. During his class, however, some students from other classes had wandered in and sat down on the steps along the radiators that ran down the sides of the room. When the professor realized this, he did a quick count and saw that now there were 34 students in the room. He started to worry if Steve would be able to make it.
Dr. Christianson went on to the next person and the next and the next. Near the end of that row, Steve was really having a rough time. He was taking a lot more time to complete each set.
Steve asked Dr Christianson, "Do I have to make my nose touch on each one?"
A few moments later, Jason, a recent transfer student, came to the room and was about to come in when all the students yelled in one voice, "NO! Don't come in! Stay out!"
Dr. Christianson finished the fourth row, and then started on those visitors seated by the heaters. Steve's arms were now shaking with each push-up in a struggle to lift himself against the force of gravity. By this time sweat was profusely dropping off of his face, there was no sound except his heavy breathing; there was not a dry eye in the room.
The very last two students in the room were two young women, both cheerleaders, and very popular. Dr. Christianson went to Linda, the second to last, and asked, "Linda, do you want a doughnut?"
Grunting from the effort, Steve did ten very slow pushups for Linda.
Then Dr Christianson turned to the last girl, Susan. "Susan, do you want a donut?"
Dr. Christianson turned to the room and said. "And so it was, that our Savior, Jesus Christ, on the cross, plead to the Father, 'into thy hands I commend my spirit.' With the understanding that He had done everything that was required of Him, He yielded up His life. And like some of those in this room, many of us leave the gift on the desk, uneaten." Two students helped Steve up off the floor and to a seat, physically exhausted, but wearing a thin smile.
"Well done, good and faithful servant," said the professor, adding "Not all sermons are preached in words."
Turning to his class, the professor said, "My wish is that you might understand and fully comprehend all the riches of grace and mercy that have been given to you through the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He spared not only His Begotten Son, but gave Him up for us all, for the whole Church, now and forever. Whether or not we choose to accept His gift to us, the price has been paid."

Directed, hosted and produced by John Znidarsic, the free evening will spotlight the songs from two new musicals: The Bootlegger & the Rabbi's Daughter and TINK! Show time is 6 PM.
The Bootlegger & the Rabbi's Daughter, which has book and lyrics by Tajlei Levis and music by John Mercurio, will feature David Bonanno, Russell Koplin, Zachary Prince, Bruce Winant and Amy Blackman. Mary Kate Burke directs.
The musical, according to press notes, is described as such: "It's 1920—In the first year of Prohibition, New York City has gone dry and there's money to be made by anyone who can get hold of some hooch. When an enterprising Italian immigrant discovers a synagogue full of sacramental wine, he convinces the Rabbi to take him on as a yeshiva student. It's the perfect cover for monetizing the Manischewitz—until he falls for the Rabbi's daughter."
TINK! is described as a "new romantic musical comedy that's a fun & campy take on the Peter Pan story from Tink's point of view. Tink loves Peter but the dude's absolutely clueless. When she transforms into a real live bombshell to win Peter's love, the fate of Neverland, and the world, is in jeopardy."
The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts' Bruno Walter Auditorium is located at 111 Amsterdam Avenue and 65th Street.

His quick progression to best NBA big man catapulted the Orlando Magic to the top of a short list of yearly championship contenders.
But somewhere along the way Howard grew annoyed with his coach, teammates, and the Magic front office and things quickly soured.
Howard's trade demands suddenly became an enormous PR mess and his strong standing with fans went downhill fast. It's gotten so bad, he's surprisingly taken over LeBron James as enemy No. 1 in basketball circles.
Now, after nearly getting his wish to end up in Brooklyn, it looks like Howard will have to play yet another frustrating season with the Magic.

Meghan McCain: Election is Romney's to lose
Originally published: Sep 4, 2012 - 6:43 pm
In the wake of the Republican National Convention and in the midst of the Democratic National Convention, Meghan McCain has thrown her political two cents into the debate.
McCain said that, despite polls showing almost a dead head between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, the latter is actually leading the former.
"Honestly, I think it's Romney's to lose," she told News/Talk 92.3 KTAR's Mac & Gaydos.
McCain went on to say that those who feel Obama is going to do a better job should vote for him, but they may be out of touch.
"It's as simple as this: if you think you're better off today than you were four years ago, if you think unemployment being well over eight percent and all the crazy things that are happening with the recession is better for America and you genuinely think that Obama is doing a good job, go ahead, vote for him," she said. "I just think you're drinking some Kool-Aid and maybe not paying attention to the news."
Despite being a Republican, McCain said she "borderline hated" New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's speech, along with surprise guest Clint Eastwood.

Hayden Panettiere can relate to the troubled country music starlet she plays on ABC's new show "Nashville" and is also thankful that unlike Juliette Barnes, she had a great support system early on in her career.
Spoiler alert for those not caught up on season 1!
The actress' character starts out smug, confident and often downright mean towards people she finds threatening - namely veteran country singer Rayna Jaymes. Barnes sets out to poach her guitarist, ex-lover and songwriter Charles Esten as part of a bid to further her career but then life becomes more complicated when her estranged mother, a troubled addict, shows up at her gated home.
Unable to cope well with the family reunion, Panettiere's character starts to break down herself and even gets caught shoplifting, putting her career in jeopardy and bringing to mind real-life meltdowns and publicized troubles of Hollywood celebrities such as former child stars Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes.
Panettiere, 23, grew up in the Los Angeles area and also began her acting career as a kid, appearing on the soap opera "One Life To Live" before she was cast in her breakout role on NBC's "Heroes," which aired between 2006 and 2010. She also released several pop songs but ultimately did not find much success as a singer before she joined "Nashville," which debuted in October.
"'Aggressive in the way that [Barnes] is ... strikes a chord," Panettiere told OTRC.com and other outlets. "It hits a nerve. It's because I've grown up not as a country singer but I've still grown up in a similar industry, where I was a young girl growing up in the spotlight and I came up at a time where all those young girls were getting in trouble and that was a popular thing to do and everyone's sitting there waiting for you to fall."
"I was raised very well," she said. "I had great parents who instilled great morals in me and taught me how to treat people well."
Being mean to Britton on set was not easy for her.
"I went on set in my first scene with Connie Britton ever was doing that passive-aggressive scene in the first episode when I walk into the dressing room and I just kept apologizing to her afterwards - 'I hope you don't take it personally.' 'Cause it just struck such a nerve in me," the actress said. "It just didn't feel right because it was too close to home."
"But then as we got to know each other more and more, the more fun we had pushing each other's buttons," she added.
Being a successful celebrity has a downside - people you work with are often afraid to tell you "No," which could lead to bad business decisions and projects.
"You are so surrounded a lot of the times in this industry by 'Yes People ' - people who are too afraid to tell you the truth, people who are making money from you and aren't gonna just be honest with you," the actress said.
"I know that when I was in that position, I was 16 years old. If I didn't have the people I have in my life that were there before, to yank me back in, who knows what would've happened," she added. "But I owe them for the person that I am today so I can only imagine what would happen to a young girl who is dealing with that all on her own and has never in her life experienced affection."
The reaction of fans to the change in her character's behavior, following the arrival of her mother, has also change.
"It was so interesting for me to see what people were saying about the character up until the scene with my mother in the closet, when I'm on the phone with her, and all of a sudden, that light bulb goes off and you realize why she is the way she is and then everyone just shifted and was going, 'Oh my gosh, I feel so bad for her," Pannettiere said.
"Now I understand and that's the great part about this character - she's not just this one-dimensional witchy girl - she's a very damaged, very hurt little girl who had nobody there to ever give her affection or care for her. Certainly not teach her how to care for others. So, it makes my job fun."
Bonus spoiler:
On the November 14 episode of "Nashville," Panettiere's character continues to try and impove her tarnished public image by going on a fake date with a "squeakly-clean" NFL star. Pictured above is the actress and actor Tilky Montgomery Jones.

Last year Facebook passed TripAdvisor in the percentage of referrals that led to hotel reservations. Aside from your website your Facebook page should be second highest on your list of where you want consumers to spend their Internet minutes. Facebook provides hotels with a great opportunity to connect with travelers that helps lead to brand awareness, viral marketing and less vacancy! Here are 5 ways you can use Facebook effectively.
Facebook Is For More Than Just Sales
Facebook is an in-direct marketing tool. The goal of your Facebook page should be to build relationships with travellers and people interested in learning more about what you have to offer which will eventually lead to bookings. Try and post interesting content that your fans will enjoy but be sure not too post too often as you will end up clogging their news feed.
Provide Great Customer Service
Delight your customers by engaging with them on their preferred method of communication. Ask questions or post polls to get them to engage with you. This allows your brand to be much more personable and easier to relate to. For customer service complaints, respond quickly, apologize, and ask them to take the issue "offline" by getting them to send you an inbox message with contact information and details about their problem so that you can fix it immediately.
Deals and Promotions
Almost 40% of Facebook users like a Facebook page so that they can stay up to date with that brand's upcoming deals, promotions and discounts. Give them what they want! Facebook should be the first place you go to advertise new promotions and discounts.
Use Videos and Photos
Photos have proven to be the best way to get your fans to interact with your brand. Facebook users will feel that they connect with your brand more if you post pictures from your hotel. Try and post pictures that aren't professionally taken to give them a more genuine feel. Post videos to you Facebook page as well that highlight the amenities you have to offer.
Post Multi-lingual Content
Don't forget that your guests are people that are travelling from faraway lands! Which means that for a lot of them, English may not be their first language. If you know that you have a lot of Spanish or French speaking guests try and incorporate those languages into your Facebook posts to connect with them even more.
Tons of travellers use Facebook daily and your hotel should too by being there building relationships that lead to customers. Interacting and listening to travellers by posting compelling content will allow you to better understand your customer and what they are looking for in a hotel experience leading to hotel beds filled with happy guests.

IACUC Policy on the Use of Non-Pharmaceutical Grade Compounds
Principal Investigators are expected to use pharmaceutical-grade compounds (medications, vehicles, carriers) for all live vertebrate animal work. The use of non-pharmaceutical-grade compounds is only permitted following review and approval by the IACUC.
It may be acceptable to use non-pharmaceutical-grade materials in non-survival procedures, as long as their use does not affect the well-being of the animal or compromise the validity of the study. Purification or sterilization of non-pharmaceutical compounds should occur, where appropriate. A complete description must be included in the "Animal Care and Use Proposal" (ACUP) or in an amendment form and approved by the IACUC prior to use in live animals.
Reasons for such exceptions can include scientific necessity and non-availability of an acceptable veterinary or human pharmaceutical-grade product. Cost savings are not an adequate justification for using non-pharmaceutical-grade compounds in animals.

The biggest question during the dismal Maryland-Boston College game earlier today might've been "Which quarterback?", or "Where's D.J. Adams?", or perhaps "What's up with all the drops?" I have a strange feeling, though, the thing being asked the most was: "When does basketball season start?"
The answer to that, unfortunately, is: not until November 13, officially. But we got a little taste today, with the team holding an open scrimmage/practice today for fans prior to the game. Shaquille Cleare, the big 2012 commitment, was in attendance, along with a host of reporters, commenters, and tweeters, all spreading the good word. A few of the choice notes:
Nick Faust actually is really good. The fans never had any doubts, but it's never a good idea to expect huge things out of a freshman. It's not like Maryland has a choice, though: besides the whole "depth" thing, Faust appears to be one of the stars of the team. He dropped a team-leading 15 points in the 20-minute scrimmage, including a tomahawk slam and two three-pointers. Turgeon said he's "got a chance to be a special player."
The interesting thing is that, in addition to being the likely starter at the 2, Faust will also be the primary backup to Terrell Stoglin at point guard with Pe'Shon Howard out. Faust has always been a scorer first, so it'll be interesting to see how he handles the distribution responsibility. If he can pull that off, he has quite the skill set.
Pe'Shon Howard loves college, is fine with redshirting. Quoth MVPe', via Jeff Barker at the Sun: "If I redshirt, that gives me another year in college. I love college. It's all about the situation - if the team needs me back." First of all, great response. Secondly, I'm torn on whether or not redshirting him would be a good thing. This season is probably lost, and adding Howard for the start of the ACC slate isn't going to transform them into a tournament team. But if he can get back before a single conference game has been played - and the optimistic return date of 10 weeks would put him back for the N.C. State conference opener - it's tough for me to just entirely give up. If he's out for longer than the three months, though, it might not be worth the dozen games he'd get.
Turgeon really likes him some Sean Mosley. Turge said Mosley does everything asked of him and is the only sure-fire starter at this point. He'll play some point this year, and it was discussed earlier in the season that he might see some time at the 4 in a four-guard set. So yes, it's likely that throughout the course of the year he'll play at the 1, the 2, the 3, and the 4. Mr. Versatility, and only 6-5.
Still no word of Alex Len's eligibility. Of course.
About the post players ... Berend Weijs is the big story here, scoring 13 points, which was the second-most behind Faust. Ashton Pankey supposedly looked pretty strong, as well. Throw in Alex Len, and this unit might not be as bad as we all feared.
For the fashionistas: shooter sleeves. For the first time since 1990, we might be seeing Maryland basketball featuring accessories. Pankey, Stoglin, Faust, and Mychal Parker were all rocking shooter sleeves.
Individual player impressions. Our own SA523 was in attendance, and wrote up a FanPost of his impressions of each player. Make sure to head over and read up on it. Quick summary: Faust is impressive, Mosley is a leader, Stoglin is just as you remember, and the big men have some potential.

Remember Me
IRON COUNTY—At a May 1 special meeting, the Iron County Board of Commissioners discussed the reopening of the Cooks Run fish hatchery.
Dino Giannola, from the Watersmeet Trout Hatchery, is hoping to reopen the hatchery to raise fish and put them into Iron County lakes. According to Sue Clisch, county administrator, the property has been sitting vacant due to road construction and roof issues. Its electrical service is also not up to code. Giannola's plans include using the house on the property so someone will be watching over the hatchery year-round. The electrical service was the main concern at the meeting, since the hatchery cannot operate until the service is upgraded and WE Energies turns the power on. Giannola said the 200-amp electrical upgrade will be paid for by the county. Once the work is finished and the power is turned back on, he would pay the monthly bills, he said. The county took several bids for the electrical project, and the board voted unanimously to accept the lowest bid that can be completed by May 10. The winning bid was submitted by Ahlberg Electric of Iron River. Since it was not on the meeting's agenda, the board could not take action on a contract with Giannola, who said he would pay the county back with fish. He estimates he will be able to put $7,500 worth of brook trout, brown trout or rainbow trout into Iron County lakes. "I feel like I'm ready, Giannola said. "I know a whole lot more now." Chairman Carl Lind said he wants to see the fish hatchery open to the county once again. "I believe 99.9 percent of the people of the county will be happy to see it up and running," he said. Approval and possible signature of the contract will be on the agenda for the County Board's regular May 9 meeting. Along with the Cooks Run project, the board also ratified actions of the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Authority dated April 10. It would have no cost to the county.

IT'S all change on the bins in Test Valley this month.
Borough environmental health chiefs are changing colliction days of wheelie bins for some residents from Monday, February 24.
Letters are being sent out to all 16,000 households affected by the changes.
Borough officials say that with hundreds of new homes being built, it is necessary to alter bin rounds.
Borough cabinet spokesman for the environment, Graham Stallard, said: "If we'd have introduced a new round, rather than accommodated known new developments using existing resources, it would have cost the taxpayer an additional £130,000 a year.
"Although it does mean that the day we empty some people's bins will be changing, it will save a great deal of money over the coming years and help us to keep council tax down."
Garden waste collections are not affected by the changes.

Ninja Restaurant
8433 Oak St
New Orleans, LA 70118
Napoleon's Rating: ***/*****
Ninja has been around since the early 1990s, when it first opened in a small cottage-sized restaurant space a few blocks away. It moved into its current, much larger home in 2001 and over the years it has cultivated a fiercely loyal fan base. Dine here and there's a pretty good chance you'll join their ranks. A highly-varied menu, reliably pristine products and a laidback vibe all contribute to a great Japanese restaurant package.
Ninja occupies one of the more unusual restaurant properties in town, a rather awkward, upstairs/downstairs space with a bar/holding area on the ground floor and a dining room accessed by a window-lined staircase that lacks any air conditioning. But once you get past this bumpy reception, you're on to better things.
Servers here know their stuff, which is good because the regular menu is long, the specials are intricate and they both cover some unfamiliar turf. My one complaint in this department again starts downstairs at the bar/holding area. You're greeted by staff using headsets, as if they're running a fast food drive-thru or the velvet rope at a swanky nightclub. This is probably very useful is running the upstairs/downstairs floor plan, especially on busy nights, but it's jarring at what otherwise feels like a homespun, regulars-oriented sushi restaurant.
The Ninja menu starts with the familiar sushi bar appetizers, standards like gyoza and shumai. But from there it offers more interesting and unique fare, like okra and asparagus tempura, BBQ squid and even a Japanese pickle plate. I like the hiziki, or black seaweed salad, and the jalapeno fish salad, a spicy mix of chunks of sushi bar fish.
There are many cooked and full-scale entrees at Ninja, along with a wide variety of noodle dishes. The ramen noodle soup, loaded with various seafood, pork and vegetables, is refreshing, deeply satisfying and a far cry from the microwave noodle packets many people associate with the ramen name. Still, the reason most people come to Ninja is for sushi, and that is where this restaurant really excels.
Ninja is home to some of the most fiercely spicy sushi rolls I've ever encountered. One is the devil roll, with tuna and avocado slathered heavily with intense mustard. Then there's the teardrop roll, which is simply rice and pickled horseradish and is even hotter still. These are the fireworks though. Ninja does a great job with the usual array of rolls and sashimi, and the yellowtail and albacore are always meltingly tender.
Ninja has a strong specialty in vegetarian rolls, with a whole side menu devoted to them. It's also worth noting that Ninja serves a children's menu, with tempura, teriyaki and udon options at family-friendly prices.
Dessert at a Japanese restaurant usually means ice cream, and that's the go-to here, with red bean, ginger and green tea flavors. There's mochi, a Japanese confection of pounded sticky rice filled with ice cream, and tempura-fried ice cream, that reliable showstopper for the kids.
Ninja has a full bar with bottled Japanese beers, a good assortment of sake (hot or cold) and a few plum wines too.
A night out for sushi can be very expensive or a relative bargain, all depending on how you chart your course through the menu. That's no different at Ninja. In general though, if you go with a few people, order moderately and plan to share your rolls and appetizers, you should expect to spend about $30 per person.
Consistent, diverse and delicious, Ninja gets high marks where it matters for a sushi spot and is highly recommended as a destination restaurant. Provided you can look past the unorthodox setting and focus on the food, you should have a memorable meal here.

We have been a little out of the routine around here this week. The reason is because I'm losing my buddy, Nakiska, to a long battle with cancer. Back in October, 2013, I posted a tribute to my baby girl, Sitka, after I had to have her euthanized due to a sudden and untimely attack from a brain tumor. The lessons I learned from having her in my life inspired me to wonder why politicians in Washington couldn't be more like her. To say I miss her would be an understatement. Now comes this week, when I am forced to make the same decision…
- Constitution
- Energy
- Healthcare
- Politics
- Religion

It is a black and blue mark on an otherwise colorful celebration.
"It was kind of like a bee-sting."
That's what 34-year-old Eric felt as he and his friends were walking to the St. Pete Pride Parade on Saturday.
It wasn't a bug-bite though, rather a high powered BB gun shot fired at his group of friends simply because of who they were.
Eric spoke with us asking that we not use his last name.
"I was just like wow. I wasn't expecting that," he said.
Police arrested the suspected shooter, 20-year-old Cornelius Davis. Authorities say he was yelling homophobic slurs before shooting the BB gun from the second floor of the Kenwood Village Inn on 33rd street North.
He's charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and police are calling his actions a hate-crime. Eric, a former reserve police officer, reserved his judgment.
"I don't want to be accused of judging him when he judged me," he said.
"A lot of people look at this like, 'oh my God, oh my God,' I look at it like it happened send him to jail where he belongs," he said.
Of course, it could've been much worse, including for Davis himself.
"Don't carry a water gun to a firefight because I was carrying my Glock," he said.
Despite it all, Eric didn't let the ugly incident stop him from attending Pride. This was the biggest in the event's 11 year history with some 120,000 plus in attendance.
"We're not going to let these people get in the way of who we are and what we're doing, and that's what this is all about," said Pride executive director Eric Skains.
