AUBURN - Led by a season-high 15 kills from senior Kelly Fidero, the Auburn volleyball team stayed undefeated at home this season with a 3-0 (25-19, 25-22, 25-12) sweep of Ole Miss on Sunday afternoon at the Student Activities Center.
Auburn (8-6, 2-2 SEC) avenged a pair of defeats at the hands of the Rebels (5-7, 1-3 SEC) last season and won its third straight home match to open the season. In fact, the Tigers have yet to drop a single set at home in 2011, winning all three of their home matches by a 3-0 count.
"I think this was a weekend we really needed," Auburn head coach Rick Nold said. "After being on the road so much, we really needed to come in here and have our home crowd behind us. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. We talked a lot before about serving and passing, we made some improvements there, and that led to a great weekend."
Fidero, who racked up 14 kills in three previous matches this season, bettered her 2011 best on Sunday with 15. With just three errors in her 26 attacks, she hit .462 in the match, giving her a weekend total of 29 kills (4.83/set) and a .490 hitting percentage.
"As a senior, Kelly is someone we really rely on," Nold said. "She's a great player, and we need to find ways to get the right people open. Our setters did a great job with those opportunities, and she took advantage of them."
Sophomore setter Chelsea Wintzinger had 29 assists on the day and equaled her career-high with six kills; she also had six digs and assisted on a block. Junior Sarah Bullock finished with 10 kills and nine digs, one shy of her second consecutive double-double.
Sophomores Camila Jersonsky and Vesela Zapryanova had five kills apiece, and junior MacKenzy Harper tied for the team lead with nine digs. Sophomore Chloe Rowand had two blocks while Bullock, Wintzinger and Fidero had one apiece.
The Tigers out-hit Ole Miss .296-.124, improving to 7-0 on the season when hitting .200 or better. It was the fifth time this year Auburn held an opponent below .200 for the match; the Tigers are 4-1 in those contests. Auburn had 43 kills to the Rebels' 29 and also won the digs battle 46-34. Ole Miss did lead in the blocks category 6-4, with Regina Thomas recording a match-high five blocks.
The first set was a back-and-forth affair early, but the Tigers took control with four straight points to take an 11-7 lead. That lead would eventually swell to 18-10, mainly thanks to five Ole Miss attack errors and a service ace from Harper. From there, Fidero would take control, scoring the Tigers' final four points on kills to give Auburn a 25-19 win in set number one. Fidero would record five kills in the opening set while Bullock was the defensive leader with six digs.
Auburn got off to an inauspicious start in the second set with Ole Miss scoring five of the first six points, four of which came courtesy of Rebel blocks. The Ole Miss lead would eventually swell to 11-5, forcing a timeout, and remained a five-point game at 15-10. From that point, though, the Tigers would go on a 5-1 run, cutting the deficit to a single point on two kills from Bullock and an ace from Zapryanova to make it a 16-15 game. Another kill from Bullock and a Rebel error tied the score for the first time at 17-17, and a Fidero kill put Auburn ahead for the first time at 19-18. The Tigers would never trail again, but survived the Rebels fighting off two set point attempts to take the second frame by a 25-22 count.
Auburn completely dominated the third set, taking control early and never looking back in a 25-12 whitewash. The Tigers hit .500 in the final game, compared to the Rebels' .094, and had 15 kills to the Rebels' nine. In fact, Ole Miss did not score a point on serve in the entire set; Auburn was 12-for-12 in sideout opportunities. After taking a 13-8 lead midway through the set, the Tigers would go on a 9-1 run to put things out of reach at 22-9. Fidero's kill to make it 24-11 was her 15th of the day, and Wintzinger got her sixth kill to close out the match.
The Tigers will be back in action Friday, Sept. 30, when they welcome the No. 6-ranked Florida Gators to town as SEC play continues. Friday will mark a historic night for Auburn volleyball as the match will be the first to be played in Auburn Arena. First serve is set for 7 p.m.

A huge and diverse population, a strong national league and the best stadiums on the continent have yet to help South Africa emerge into an African footballing power. They should be competitive with the likes of Ghana and the Ivory Coast, regularly vying for Africa Cup of Nations honors and World Cup qualification, but they simply aren't. Their resources and solid raw talent haven't translated into any degree of success.
They're in this edition of the Africa Cup of Nations for the same reason they were in the 2010 World Cup: Automatic qualification as the hosts. They've failed to qualify for the last two editions of the tournament, just like they failed to qualify for the 2006 World Cup. The nation has taken an incredible step backwards in their footballing progressions since their 1996 Africa Cup of Nations triumph and their qualification for the 1998 and 2002 World Cups.
There's no time like the present for South Africa to stop underachieving. Between their fairly weak group and their home-crowd advantage, there's not really any excuse for failing to make the quarterfinals. Since this is one of the weakest Africa Cup of Nations fields ever -- thanks to the rushed qualifying format -- there's actually not any excuse for them failing to make the semifinals. A loss to anyone but Ghana, the Ivory Coast or Zambia should probably be considered an utter failure.
By this point, the strike pairing of Bernard Parker and Katlego Mphela should have a bit of chemistry. Thulani Serero and Siphiwe Tshabalala should provide them with plenty of service. The central defense pairing of Bongani Khumalo and Siyabonga Sangweni is, at worst, adequate. Itumeleng Khune stacks up against any keeper in the tournament. Their center of midfield could be better, but Kagisho Dikgacoi is having a very good season for Crystal Palace. The ingredients are there for a successful run.
However, it's tough for those who don't follow the South African Premiership closely to know exactly what kind of depth this team has. Considering that a number of star players for other teams ply their trade in that league, they should have the quality to match up against anyone but the truly elite sides in this competition, but it's tough to make a judgment on that without watching all of their players on a week-in, week-out basis.
Their biggest deficiency as a side, creativity through the middle, is a problem that many African sides have. Their wingers and center forwards are going to have to do all of the creating, which might be a problem against group-mates Morocco, who have arguably the best central defender in Africa in 6'3" Mehdi Benatia. Cape Verde's central defenders aren't exactly short or inexperienced either. Tshabalala's crosses will have to be more than simple hopeful lofted balls into the box for South Africa to score.
As strong as South Africa will be attacking down the flanks, they could have issues defending the flanks. They drew 0-0 against Algeria in their warm-up friendly for the tournament, but their main source of creativity comes from their No. 10 Sofiane Feghouli, not their flanks. Foued Kadir and Hameur Bouazza make up one of the weakest pairs of wingers in the tournament. Angola's Djalma, Morocco's Oussama Assaidi and Cape Verde's Ryan Mendes should present a bit more of a challenge.
Projected Starting Lineup (4-4-2)
GK Itumeleng Khune, LB Thabo Matlaba, CB Bongani Khumalo, CB Siyabonga Sangweni, RB Anele Ngcongca, LM Siphiwe Tshabalala, CM Kagisho Dikgacoi, CM Dean Furman, RM Thulani Serero, ST Bernard Parker, ST Katlego Mphela
Key Player
Siphiwe Tshabalala: Dikagcoi and Furman aren't playmakers, and neither Parker or Mphela is a superstar. They're both physically talented guys who can finish, but neither is going to take over a game without any service or create for their teammates. Bafana Bafana's main creative outlet is going to come down the wings, and Tshabalala is their best. If he's not beating his defender down the flank and putting quality service into the box, South Africa will struggle to score.
Quarterfinalists: Call it a hunch: The Democratic Republic of the Congo sneaks second in Group B, setting up a pretty rough matchup for South Africa. Yossuf Mulumbu and Dieumerci Mbokani would be too much for Bafana Bafana to deal with through the center, if that happened. South Africa bows out after another disappointing tournament.

PROJECT ROOM: General Project Information & Updates
This space will be used to provide general project updates that do not fit into the tasks noted above. If you have information or resources to share and do not see a task where it fits, this is the place to put it.
Key Success Factors
Groups of women taking part in the Microcredit Program have begun to form in Kabondo, thanks to funds received through other tasks.
Learning from the experience of others is very important and can lead to successful projects. We would like to compile a list of Key Success Factors for operating a microcredit program. We are looking for learnings from other projects that can be tried in Kabondo.
This task requires researching other projects on Nabuur and elsewhere and finding out the key factors to success. Or, if you have experience running a project, then provide your insights here!
Bus for the practicum for nurses training.
One of the basic requirements for nurses/midwifery training is a bus for practicum. With this, students can be taken other major hospitals for their practicals. We are looking for a possibility of acquiring a second hand or used bus with capacity of 50-60 seats to support us in this training. There may be institutions out there who have used but still sound and in good condition who could donate this to us. I a m inviting neighbors to discuss ways in which we can acquire a bus for our nurses training.
Income Generation Idea - Kiserian Computer College
"Yes We Can Self-Help Group" would like to start a computer college. They have already received two computers from local friends in Kenya. They would like to obtain about 10 computers total to start the college.
INTRODUCING COVER CROPS to the Farmers of Busukuma
Prior to receiving agricultural CD's from Ken, farmers in Busukuma were cutting grass to cover the soil so that the soil did not lose moisture which created compost as it decomposed. The farmers ended up getting good yields from their crops as you will see in the photo. Ken has instructed us that by introducing cover crops we will improve the organic nature of the soil. This involves less work than the previous method and has resulted in double the yield from crops where this method has been implemented.
Create a customer satisfaction survey
The tourism program would like to develop a standardized satisfaction survey that could be used to gauge customer satisfaction for the tourism packages offered. This will help make it easier to tell what things need to be improved on. This will also help us prioritize and justify specific target areas where funding may need to be directed for improvements to infrastructure.
Can you help us develop a survey that can be given to our visitors to help gather appropriate feedback?
Tourism Awareness Training
The tourism committee plans to provide training to the local members of the community to increase their awareness about the project and help them better understand how they can meet the needs of the visitors who come to tour the local area.
Can you find examples of similar community-based training programs that help teach the importance of environmental responsibility as well as ways to promote a safe, friendly and comfortable environment for our visitors to enjoy their stay in Nepal?
Please share your ideas or resources to help us develop this training program.
Help Define Requirements for an Information Center for Tourists
The local community has agreed on the need for a conveniently located tourism information center. For this task, we are seeking assistance in defining what types of information, materials or other items should be made available at the information center to welcome incoming visitors and help orient them to our community.
Find examples of tourism packages in Nepal
The first tourists have now trekked through Sankhuwasabha and visited various sites around Khandbari. One of the recommendations received was for the tourism committee to work on developing specific tourism packages.
The tourism committee would very much like to view examples of tourism packages already offered throughout Nepal. As a tourist, what do you look for in a tourism package? Help us find good examples to assist us in developing our own.

Paterson man arrested on shoplifting charges at Walmart in Saddle Brook
Elmwood Park police arrested a man who allegedly stole a $200 Samsung cell phone from the Saddle Brook Walmart on Feb. 6, authorities said.
A Walmart security guard attempted to confront the suspect as he was leaving the store, according to Saddle Brook Police Chief Robert Kugler. The suspect fled immediately in his car, but the security guard took note of the license plate and model and called the police immediately.
Saddle Brook Police notified the network of all area police. An Elmwood Park patrol officer pulled over the car on Van Riper Avenue around 7:30 p.m. Saddle Brook Police Sgt. Tony Maneri arrived with the security guard who identified the suspect, Rodney Gonzales, 24, of Paterson.
Gonzales was charged with shoplifting. He was released without bail, pending a Saddle Brook Municipal Court appearance, said Kugler.
"The Saddle Brook and Elmwood Park police are credited with quickly and decisively broadcasting information to area police for quick response and apprehension," said Kugler.
"It's indicative of true professionalism and a proven ability of law enforcement networks to work together to protect those we so proudly serve," he added. "We truly have a great network of law enforcement in our county and regionally."

The Arkansas Department of Health says reports of influenza are growing more widespread throughout the state.
The department says the state has recorded seven influenza deaths this season and that reports of infections and hospitalizations are coming in from all regions of the state.
The health department recommends flu shots for people 6 months of age and older. State Epidemiologist Dr. Dirk Haselow says officials expect about 1.5 million Arkansans to get vaccinated against the flu. The state says that on average, the flu shot prevents influenza infections in about 80% of people who receive the vaccination.
The health department says this is the worst influenza season since 2009 and that it's "hit early and hard."

"A deft and seamless merging of
genres: at once memoir, travel literature, and an unpretentious guide
onto the terrain of Japanese poetry. It will appeal not just to poetry
lovers, but to all readers who are curious about the world beyond their
own borders."Foreword Magazine"Friedman is an
appealing guide through an alternate Japan where modern people make
poems about teacups and temples but also about skyscrapers and kidney
surgery."East Bay Express
The problem came to a head one
day as I was driving through Tokyo. While waiting for the light to
change, I saw the following public service announcement on the side of
a bus: Omoiyari hitonikurumani konomachini (Sympathy / toward
people, toward cars / toward this town). Seventeen syllables.
Five-seven-five format. It must be a haiku, I thought. But when I
reached the office and repeated the announcement to my Japanese
coworkers, none of them thought it was a haiku. I knew they were
thinking to themselves, What kind of a lunatic is she? One tried to break the news to me gently, Its not a haiku, its an advertising jingle. Well, I knew it was an advertising jingle, but still, wasnt it an advertising jingle haiku?From The Haiku Apprentice
Friedman was an American diplomat in Tokyo, not a writer. A chance
encounter leads her to a haiku group, where she discovers poetry that
anyone can enjoy writing. Her teacher and fellow haiku group members
instruct her in seasonal flora and fauna, and gradually she learns to
describe the world in plain words, becoming one of the millions in
Japan who lead a haiku life. This is the authors story of her literary
and cultural voyage, and more: it is an invitation to readers to form
their own neighborhood haiku groups and, like her, learn to see the
world anew.

Working with the VectorWorks Program for Theatre LDs
Until three or four years ago most lighting designers I know (myself included) wouldn't have dreamed of drafting a light plot on a computer. The reasons served as a rallying cry to those of us fighting change: "Computer-aided drafting is too hard to learn; you can draft faster by hand; you can't see the entire plot at once; hand drafting is more subtle and therefore conveys more information; the printed light plots are ugly," etc., etc. Then one day I saw the plot for a new production at Radio City Music Hall. It was beautiful! I was amazed at the subtle line weights and the flawless lettering. I asked who had done the drafting, and if the draftsman had used a lettering template. I was told that the plot wasn't drafted by hand, but was (gasp!) drafted on a computer using software called MiniCAD. I was hooked, and haven't drafted a plot by hand in almost three years.
MiniCAD has since been renamed VectorWorks. VectorWorks Spotlight is part of the Professional Series of VectorWorks CAD programs available from Nemetschek North America (formerly Diehl Graphsoft). It is built on VectorWorks 8.5 (VectorWorks Spotlight 9 should be available by the time you're reading this). Spotlight is designed specifically for the entertainment lighting industry, and adds a number of tools and menu options to the basic VectorWorks package. Those tools have been created specifically to help the theatrical lighting designer simplify and speed up the laborious task of creating a light plot and its supporting documentation. It is available in both PC and Macintosh versions.
VectorWorks has a number of flexible, easy-to-use features. For example, it can import drawings created by AutoCAD. The import process gives you several options along the way that allow you to begin organizing the drawing even before it's created. I've imported dozens of architect's and set designer's AutoCAD files and the process has been almost entirely trouble-free.
VectorWorks can also import any graphic file, such as a production title, corporate logo, illustration, or picture (including color photographs) of a special scenic item and use it in the drawing. In fact, any graphic that has been scanned or created in programs like Photoshop and Illustrator can be imported and placed on the plot.
VectorWorks places the most common tools in floating palettes that can be opened or closed, expanded or contracted, and placed anywhere on the screen to suit your working style. Each palette is comprised of tools that work as a suite--2D and 3D object editing, measuring and dimensioning, etc. Pull-down menus hold the rest of the tools. Palettes and menus can be edited to create a custom workspace showing the tools that you want in the layout that works best for you.
This is standard fare to anyone who is familiar with most graphics programs. Where VectorWorks and VectorWorks Spotlight really shine is in the way that they handle objects drawn on the page and in the tools and menus that have been developed specifically for the theatre designer. Those tools make the process of creating the plot and related documentation fast and easy, which frees time to do what you want to be doing--designing instead of drafting.
The basic organization of any VectorWorks file is similar to a stack of drawings or sheets of acetate. Each user-definable layer contains information that is organized by height and/or some other useful grouping method. You can limit access to layers other than the one you are working on so that you don't, for example, move the proscenium wall when you intended to move a flat. The layers are usually stacked in order of height. Therefore, a typical light plot might have (from bottom to top) layers that contain the theatre, units on the deck, the scenery, lighting positions, and units in the air.
Note that the units layer is placed above the positions layer. VectorWorks understands that when you're looking at a drawing in plan view, objects on higher layers obscure objects on lower layers. If the units layer was below the positions layer, the plot would show the pipe obscuring the unit. However, VectorWorks Spotlight takes this into account when creating a section, and shows the units and hanging positions in their proper relationship. VectorWorks provides a wide range of options when creating and viewing layers. Individual layers can be created with different scales and colors, for example. You can also selectively make each layer visible, invisible, or grayed, and change visibility as you work through a drawing.
Each object on a drawing (line, circle, symbol, etc.) can also be assigned to a user-definable class. Classes work across layers. Their visibility can also be changed as you work. The ability to adjust visibility of classes and layers creates a matrix of options that allow you to view or print only the information that is needed.
The basic VectorWorks software comes equipped with an enormous library of easily edited symbols that can be browsed via the Resources Palette. It includes symbols ranging from shrubs, cars, and exit signs, to tennis courts and toilets. Because the library is so extensive, a useful rule of thumb before creating a new symbol is to browse the library to see if there's already one that can be used or modified.
VectorWorks Spotlight adds hundreds of additional symbols for theatrical lighting. Symbols are broadly categorized as accessories or units. Within each of these categories are smaller libraries sorted by manufacturer or type of equipment. Symbols are selected from the Resources Palette and placed on the drawing. To add an ETC Source Four to your plot, for example, simply use the Resources Palette to navigate to the units folder, open the file of ETC symbols, and select the Source Four you need. Once it has been used in the drawing, that symbol is automatically added to the resources of the drawing you're working on. This means that each VectorWorks file is self-contained and doesn't need to refer to an external file for information.
With VectorWorks you're always drafting in 3D and with actual dimensions. In other words, what will appear as a 2"x4" rectangle on a 1/2" scale light plot will be described as a 4'x8' rectangle. That same rectangle (a 2D object) can easily be turned into a 3D object by selecting it with the mouse and entering the height into the Object Info Palette.
Once most, or all, of the objects are given height, VectorWorks takes most of the effort out of creating other views of the stage. Through a menu selection you can easily create and switch to a section view, or side, front, and orthographic projection views, or even to a perspective view from any point in the theatre. These views can show the theatre and the objects onstage as line drawings, or it can show them as solids. In addition, each view can be saved and printed.
VectorWorks Spotlight enhances these basic VectorWorks features by adding tools that are customized to suit the needs of theatrical lighting designers. Among the added features are three special tool palettes--Spotlight, Truss, and Scenic Objects. The Scenic Objects Palette contains tools for inserting commonly used objects like drapery, stairs, doors, windows, and columns into the drawing. Each one is 3D and can immediately be viewed in a section or perspective, edited, and customized.
The Truss Palette contains tools for creating straight or curved truss. Adding a straight piece of truss is as simple as drawing a line. You select the truss tool and draw a line on the light plot. Spotlight builds the 3D truss where you've drawn it. You can use the Object Info Palette to modify the dimensions of the truss (changing a 5' length of truss to a 10' length, for example), and Spotlight will make the changes as soon as they are entered.
The Spotlight Tool Palette contains the most powerful and commonly used tools. The Insert Lighting Position tool places a lighting position on your plot. This tool does more than simply place a line or two on the plot, however. Spotlight places a graphic image on the plot that represents the position and provides for interaction between the position and the instruments that are hung on it. This means that there is no need to enter the name of the position for each instrument, because instruments placed over a pipe on the plot are automatically assigned their hanging position.
The Insert Lighting Instrument tool changes any symbol that is about to be inserted into a lighting instrument and attaches it to the lighting position where it is placed. Turning a symbol into a lighting instrument means that the symbol is connected to an internal database. That database records relevant information attributed to each instrument, such as hanging position and unit number, color, and focus. Any or all of that information can be displayed and printed on the plot. This allows you to print plots with different information for the designer and the electricians, for example. VectorWorks Spotlight can also use that information to print documentation such as a hookup or an instrument schedule. Perhaps best of all, the fields in the VectorWorks database match the fields in Lightwright, making data transfer between the two almost seamless.
There are a number of other specialized tools in VectorWorks Spotlight. One tool places accessories on the plot and attaches them to the proper unit. Another automatically numbers the units on each position. Yet another draws walls and allows you to specify the wall's thickness, height, and cross-hatch or fill pattern. There's even one that puts a border around the drawing.
With Spotlight you can also visualize the lighting. Unlike some other programs, you don't have to focus every single unit on your plot. Instead, Spotlight has you place any number of "projectors" into the rendering to provide the light. This means that rather than "focus" each of the units of a sidelight wash from the end of a pipe, you place one projector there to do the job. You can adjust the intensity of each projector, and assign it any color by Rosco, Lee Filters, or GAM Products. Each projector can also have a template from those firms or Apollo. Each of the scenes that you light can be saved, printed, or replayed as a slide show.
VectorWorks Spotlight does have limitations. The Truss tool, for example, doesn't understand the differences between truss manufacturers--it simply draws a generic piece of truss. It also doesn't suggest or limit you to standard lengths. This can become a problem when you discover too late that you've drawn a 12' 6-1/4" section of truss. Since it is intended primarily as drafting, not visualization, software, there are limits to the accuracy of the scenes that you light. And because each scene is lit with projectors that have been added to the plot, not the actual units that you've drawn, it can't export any of the scene information to a console or track sheet. Although it does come with an enormous symbol library, there is not a single 3D human form that you can insert into your sections or perspectives (although there are a number of sketch-like 2D people). It is hoped that these shortcomings will be addressed in future versions, improving an already strong, flexible, and easy-to-use CAD package.
Spotlight is available direct from Nemetschek either on the web at https://secure.nemetschek.net/order/ or through customer service by phone at 888-646-4223. Spotlight is $1,295.

Words are toys in the political, media world; no issue has been "toyed" with more than education. Closest at heart to every family are their kids; wrapped in our love for them is every wish for their fulfillment; this means everyone has a political "stake" in education.
Reading the book, "Reign of Error, The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America's Public Schools," by Diane Ravitch, is a way to familiarize oneself with the issues and misinformation fueling harmful education agendas. Public schools are an introduction and foundation to knowledge necessary for developing a fulfilling life for the benefit of the world, the community and oneself. The real education comes as we use the knowledge and abilities acquired during those years; no one exits the last school door fully formed. It's a lifelong endeavor. Unless we continue our own education on important issues ... we continue to be dependent on self-aggrandized corporate, political alliances.
Public funds for education are being pilfered for corporate agendas. But kids, not economic development boards, are the future economy of this state and our country; kids come last in corporate, commercialized education. Please, read the book.

Saltville Rescue Squad to keep equipment after acquittal
Published On: Feb 19 2013 04:46:21 PM CST
An embattled rescue squad in our area will get to keep hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment.
Prosecutors were seeking the forfeiture of several ambulances and other emergency equipment, along with $330,000, from the Saltville Rescue Squad. This after a federal jury convicted the former squad president last September on healthcare fraud and perjury charges.
The jury acquitted the squad as a corporation in the case.
A federal judge ruled the property cannot be seized because there's no way of knowing if the assets were bought with proceeds from the fraudulent billing scheme.

Hey! I am one of the Power Pack fools that have tickets for all three games this weekend. And although I love the Reds with all my heart and little mind, I cannot make the trip from Columbus three days in a row...so that means I have two tickets available for Saturday night's game.
These are good seats...upper deck...section 521, row K. Right behind home plate on the third base side. I would be happy to let them go for face value ($18).
As I said before, I am in Columbus, so if you are from here, we can meet up, or if you are in the Cincy area, I will be at the game Friday night, too.
Any interest?
Did I mention that we're playing the Indians? :)

Students study with Michael Card
November 13, 2012
Students in Dr. Peter Held's Christian Life Formation class recently spent a weekend discussing the Gospel of Mark with author and musician Michael Card.
|Dr. Peter Held, standing, speaks to his CLF class as guest professor Michael Card, seated right, listens.
"In Christian Life Formation classes, we're trying to give a platform to outside (of the college) voices who have something substantial to communicate," Director of Spiritual Formation Ben Norquist explained. "Michael has been with us countless times at the college and really resonates with the students.
"This class offered the opportunity to spend concentrated time with him. He stayed in the lodge, ate meals, just lived life with the students that weekend."
To prepare for the weekend, Dr. Held had students read the Gospel of Mark out loud to a partner, among other things. "During the retreat they spent some time sharing what they had noticed in this reading that they hadn't noticed before," Mr. Norquist said.
"Michael is in a four-year project about the Gospels," Mr. Norquist said. "Last year when he visited Bryan he was in Luke. This year it's Mark. Next year it will be Matthew. He's allowing his time in the Gospel to inspire new music. He's writing a book and releasing a CD about each Gospel."
The unconventional setting for a class has both academic and spiritual value, Mr. Norquist suggested. "We have a picture of what it means to be academic," he said. "That usually means old books and the inside of a classroom. But we want to dig into academic material in new ways that expand our picture of what it means to be a student.
CLF classes are highly relational, highly experiential opportunities because we are spiritually formed when we encounter God and others. During the weekend we spent time in worship because worship shapes us too. This is a way of putting the disparate pieces of our lives together, because we want God to shape and instruct all of who we are."

This is the drawing for March for the Virtual Paintout – destination Stavanger Norway. I want to draw as many buildings as possible till I do them not only better but faster. This was first in pen and watercolour, then I decided that all these little blocks of colour would be quicker with watercolour pencils. That was OK till I wet the wcp, but then the Indiathrene Blue that was on the water was tooooo violet. So I used Prismacolour pencils (not watercolour) to put greens and turquoises over the blue.
Over Christmas I read the best book I've read in ages. It was We Are All Made of Glue by Marina Lewycka – she's already famous for having written A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian. I've read both now, – they're both funny, but I think the 'glue' one is amazing. It really brightened up my Christmas. Christmas Day itself was a bit trying, so on Boxing Day it was bliss to have this wonderful book to read. On Monday night I went to hear the author speak – she's here from England for the Adelaide Writers' Festival. She was all you could hope for – she did three readings from the book and then took questions.
What's the book about? We'll, it's about a younger woman and a very old woman. The younger woman's husband has gone – she's put his belongings out in the street in a skip and she finds the old woman delving among his possessions. Very shortly afterwards the old woman has a fall, ends up in hospital and names the younger woman as her next of kin. This is where it starts. It's a very funny book, but with a serious back-story.

Frontal Lobes:
The frontal lobes are one of the four main lobes or regions of the cerebral cortex. They are positioned at the frontmost region of the cerebral cortex and are involved in movement, decision-making, problem solving, and planning. There are three main divisions of the frontal lobes. They are the prefrontal cortex, the premotor area and the motor area. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for personality expression and the planning of complex cognitive behaviors. The premotor and motor areas of the frontal lobes contain nerves that control the execution of voluntary muscle movement.
The frontal lobes are involved in several functions of the body including:
- Motor Functions
- Higher Order Functions
- Planning
- Reasoning
- Judgement
- Impulse Control
- Memory
Directionally, the frontal lobes are located in the anterior portion of the cerebral cortex.
More Information:

Image-guided biopsy (or needle biopsy) is a medical test performed by interventional radiologists to identify the cause of a lump or mass or other abnormal condition in the body.
During the procedure, the doctor inserts a small needle, guided by X-ray or other imaging technique, into the abnormal area. A tissue sample is removed and given to a pathologist who looks at it under a microscope to determine what the abnormality is – for example, cancer, a noncancerous tumor, infection or scar.
Many lives can be saved when women have routine mammograms – an X-ray examination of the breast that can detect breast cancer in its earliest and most curable stages. Most abnormalities seen on mammograms are not cancer. Often, the only way to make a diagnosis is to perform a biopsy in which a tissue sample is removed from the breast for analysis – a procedure that in the past required surgery. With Image-guided biopsy (also known as stereotactic breast biopsy) X-ray imaging is used to guide a needle to the lump or mass in order to remove small tissue samples for analysis.
Image-guided biopsies are also performed using CT, angiography and ultrasound to collect tissue from many different parts of the body.
Today many conditions that once required surgery can be treated non-surgically by interventional radiologists. Interventional radiology treatments offer less risk, less pain and less recovery time compared to open surgery.

Daily mailbag: Some OL perspectiveYesterday, you posted: Both of the Packers' starting offensive tackles, Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher, are pending unrestricted free agents. At 34 and 33, respectively, neither player has a long career ahead of him.
Today, you posted: Left guard Steve Hutchinson struggled with back pain last season but has many years left in his career.
How does Hutchinson, at 32, have many years left on his career after suffering back issues while Tauscher, at 33, has little left in his career after appearing to be recovering from a knee injury? Is one year really that much? I don't understand. I think the two players need to be compared so we can get a justification of how Hutchinson plans to defy age while Tauscher is a victim to it. Why wouldn't Hutchinson follow a similar age/career progression? I just find the difference interesting with no explanation of the logic behind it to fall back on.
I see Seifert is still a yutz....Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

I am a Browns fan living in Fairfield (Travis AFB). I want to wish you luck this weekend. I would like nothing more than the Browns to win 3 straight, but the Raiders can put up some numbers, depending on the QB. There is nothing to gain from either of these games, but both teams will come out hard and play to the end.
Big Storylines coming into this game will be the quarterback issue for both teams:
1. Quarterbacks-
Raiders down to 3rd string QB, whether that is JP Losman or Jamarcus Russell no one knows. And the Browns will start Derek Anderson. I was really looking forward to a Charlie Frye vs. Anderson game. They battled for the starting spot in Cleveland in 2007, Frye won the spot. He played extremely bad in the first game, benched at half, then traded to Seattle one day later.
2. Holmgren-
Another storyline is how hard will the Browns play to show Mike Holmgren what they are made of. No one wants to lose their job with a new boss coming in.
3. Big Game Hangover-
Will the 2 players (Harrison and Joshua Cribbs) that had monster games last week, show up again, or will the Raider D stop them? Coming off a win against their most hated rivals, will the Raiders carry over the momentum to knock the wind out the Browns?
4. Win Streak
Will the Raiders start one or will the Browns continue one?
Again I wish Raider nation the best of luck, and Happy Holidays.

There aren't too many shocking lines when looking over the sportsbook odds for tomorrow's HBO pay-per-view event headlined by Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao. Things seem to be in line and "reasonable" as far as the odds that are set, but Mike Jones vs. Randall Bailey and Jorge Arce vs. Jesus Rojas don't have lines set yet. That could be due to the fights being viewed as huge mismatches, but even tonight's Friday Night Fights main event between Kelly Pavlik and Scott Sigmon has a line set even though Pavlik is a -5000 favorite, as in...you'd have to bet $5000 on Pavlik just to win $100.
Regardless, Pacquiao is currently sitting as a -450 favorite to win his fight with Bradley. Tim is as high as a +360 underdog. Here are the odds for the various ways the fight could end:
Manny Pacquiao By Decision or Technical Decision 11/10
Manny Pacquiao by KO, TKO or DQ 7/4
Timothy Bradley by Decision or Technical Decision 5/1
Timothy Bradley by KO, TKO, or DQ 9/1
Draw 20/1
Guillermo Rigondeaux is also fighting on the card as a -1875 favorite against Teon Kennedy's +1050.
We'll have much more on the fights over the next few days, so keep your browser locked in.

I've been quite silent since Friday. And time has gone by in such a drastic manner.
It's been hell!
I keep thinking of words such as "start" and "beginning." I've been at Caregiving.com for a very short time, but just maybe I was intended to be. Where to start? Maybe with my story. What the hell! It isn't that fascinating a story, but maybe it needs to be heard, read.
I have my headphones on. I'm listening to music, trying to make sense of it all. Each different song is me. They're all me! Incredible! "The Shadow Of The Day" by Linkin Park is now on, "and the sun will set for me." Will it? When?
Closure! I need closure in so many issues in my life. So very many! Am I depressed? Oh, you can be sure I am. I did download the care plan on Thursday. Just didn't get the chance to do it. Once again, IT'S BEEN HELL! Am I screaming for HELP? Oh, yes, I am!
Do we hold back? I do. Why? Shame, maybe. Some things hurt a hell of a lot! We try to wipe them out of our brains. But at some times they just come back, and haunt, and scare, and depress and just make you want to sink and shrivel, so that no one will see you and know what you're all about.
So, once again, where to start?
I wasn't a bad child, even though I was told I was almost every day of my life. I got pushed, and hit, and mocked a lot when I was a child. I always felt so alone. I used to imagine life through my dolls: mums, dads, brothers, sisters, kids, holidays, perfect families. It wasn't lived, just imagined.
Mums and Dads are never perfect! I told myself that from a very tender age. Mine surely weren't. If I pushed my toys under the bed because it was late and Mum was telling me to go to sleep, when she found the toys she would hit me hard, with wooden spoons, or the broomstick, or just her hands. She broke quite a few wooden spoons on me. One of those times with the toys she chased me 'round the dining room table, trying to hit me. I just kept running 'round, hoping to somehow get away. So, she got the broom and banged me over the head with it. She came to when she saw the blood. I was six or seven years old.
My parents always had this love/hate relationship with me. They either loved me to death, or hated me to death. I was hit by my parents to the age of twenty-one. Whoa! The day my father found out I was no longer a virgin, whilst listening behind closed doors to a conversation between my boyfriend (now my ex-husband) and me, he hit me so much that I lost sense of who I was, and he told my boyfriend he was going to kill him. I had bruises all over me. I was eighteen years old.
Throughout my childhood and teenage years they told everyone I was bad. The whole family was almost always against me. They all thought I was bad. I actually convinced myself I was. I remember cutting my dolls' hair saying that they'd been very bad and then my mother hitting me for cutting it. I also used to push my doll's eyes in. Sometimes I think that all I deserved was to be dead.
Nothing was ever enough! I was always the best student in school and in my class in University, but I was never good enough. Everything I ever tried to do, Dad would tell me I wouldn't succeed. I never have been very successful. I've always clung to the family, always tried to find what I never found. Dad used to say he was paying for my studies and that I'd never amount to much (everything is paid for in school and university in Portugal, from books to exercise books; everything). I started working and I got a scholarship on account of my good grades when I went to University, so he really didn't pay for anything, even though he used to tell everyone he did.
I had no brothers or sisters with whom to share. I just learned to take it in alone, convinced I was no good. Before going to bed, when I was about four or five, and from there on, Mum used to sit me at the top of the stairs in the building in which we lived, when it was a full moon. She'd tell me to talk to the man in the moon about how I'd behaved and pray that he didn't take me away forever, because I was bad.
Later, when I read Jane Eyre I really identified myself with the story.
I've stopped talking to my parents for short periods of time, trying to make them see how they really make me feel. But it's no use. They never see. They just say I'm still bad.
So, Mum has been at one of those bad places since Friday. Saturday night I couldn't take it any longer. At eight o'clock I left the house, had dinner with friends and my boyfriend (whom Mum and Dad hate, as did my ex-husband) and went dancing till 4 a.m. I thought all would be better when I got back. Wrong! It was even worse!
The kids are at their Dad's and have been since Friday. Sunday was hell. Mum hardly spoke. And Mum and Dad have this relationship that is inexplicable! Dad doesn't recognize me most of the time, nor does he recognize the kids, but he always, always knows Mum.
"How to Save a Life", The Fray, on now.
So whatever happens they're always together in everything. Today was actually the worst day. Can I begin to tell you? Will you believe me, since it's unbelievable and you can't even see the tears streaming down me?
Mum just ill-treated me all day long. All day long I managed to eat a slice of watermelon at breakfast, and one piece of toast at lunch. Mum didn't want me anywhere. I thought of going shopping for milk and other daily needs, so as to get out for a while. But I couldn't. And then I couldn't take it any more. I told her she was bad. That she'd always been bad to me. That she'd never loved me like a mother should love her child. That I was going to leave, that they'd be alone for the rest of their days. Or that I'd put them in a home.
Mum went mad and wanted to leave the house. I stopped her by locking the door, because I wouldn't be able to go after her and leave Dad alone. Oh! She threw such a tantrum! Oh! She screamed, she pulled her hair, she hit herself. Just kept screaming she hated me, that I was bad. I tried to cover her mouth to keep her from screaming. All the neighbors were banging on the door. I pleaded she stop. She wouldn't. I tried to hug her, tried to calm her. She bit, and hit, and pushed me. Then Dad started screaming, shouting I was ill-treating them. He got up. I was afraid he'd fall over. I went to sit him down. He kicked and slapped me, over and over, saying, "Get away from me," and, "You're no good." I didn't know what to do. I went to get two Valiums. They just kept spitting them out every time I put them in. I can't stop crying!
At one time I scratched my Mum's mouth trying to put the Valium in. I opened the door to assure the neighbors it was just one of those days.
The neighbors called the police and two ambulances. I told the police about my parents' illnesses. I tried to say they were ill, that most of the time it was really difficult, that I was trying to calm them down and didn't know what else to do. Their illnesses are obvious — Mum is always shaking on account of Parkinson's; Dad is completely incoherent, can hardly stand. But still Mum and Dad told the police I'd hit them! I'd hit them! Oh! A police report was indeed filed. I have to go in for questioning. One neighbor stepped forward, offering to be my witness, saying that it wasn't the first time something like this had happened, that I'd never hurt my parents, ever. That I am always here for them, in spite of.
After the police and ambulances left, assured that all was well, Mum calmed down, picked up the phone, and called my kids and her brothers, telling her version of the story. My kids know what it's all about. They're obviously on my side. My aunts and uncles… well!
I feel so lost at this moment. I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't stop crying.
I am always here for them, but how can I keep on?

The positive response to this idea has been quite remarkable. The agreement to end all group hostilities that our reps reached and made public must be upheld. Reach out to your family and friends and urge them to educate themselves about, and become involved in, the democratic process, to vote according to their interests and, when the time comes, forward a contribution to our PAC in whatever amount you can.

The Pelican Bay Human Rights Movement wrote 40 supplemental demands to detail what prisoners are entitled to and need to have re-instated. In responding to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitaion's response to our 40 supplemental demands, I would like to get into the actual details of what the CDCr is and is not saying in response to prisoners.

The only way that we can stop the bleeding is by prisoners ending it first. By embracing the Agreement to End Hostilities, we can change our prison oppression into a more productive prison environment that serves the interests of us prisoners, as well as put an end to the policies that are inhumane.

Top-ranked recipe named "Pizza Spinacho"
In vegatable steamer cook down throughly washed spinich leaves (remove steams prior to steaming). This takes only about 5-6 minutes.
Immeadiately place in collander and bowl with ice and a little water. This preserves color and taste. Dry in paper towels.
Roll out dough and place in pizza pan. I found one with holes in the bottom and teflon coating which cooks under side of pizza completely and makes clean-up easy.
Now assemble pizza starting with thin coating of alfredo sauce, then spinich followed by mozzarella cheese, sliced mushrooms,sliced olives. Now cover with pepperoni, then the cheese blend, followed by sliced and seeded tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil.
Place in pre-heated 450 degree oven for about 10 minutes but please watch carefully to avoid burning. You can peek under crust with a turner to check the bottom. Let sit for a few minutes before cutting with your pizza cutter and enjoy!
|My private notes
visionshop 6 years agoWatch spinach as it reduces quickly. A teflon coated pizza pan with holes in the bottom makes for evenly cooked bottom and easy clean up. [I posted this recipe.]

The Woman in White
On May 18, 1980, the deadliest and most destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States took place: Mount St Helens in Skamania County, Washington erupted. Fifty-seven individuals were killed, 250 homes and 47 bridges were destroyed, deep piles of ash were left hundreds of miles away, and nearly $3 billion in damage resulted.
The eruption blew off more than 1000 feet from the top of the mountain and caused a major debris avalanche resulting in a massive crater one mile wide.
For almost five months after the calamitous eruption, stories about an eerie female hitchhiker dressed in white started to circulate. Numerous people came forward to report they had encountered a "woman in white" while driving on local highways; their headlights would shine on a woman walking along the shoulder, gesturing that she needed a ride. Those who picked her up claimed she would sit quietly before she began to talk about Mount St. Helens. In every instance, the woman had leaned forward and whispered something eerie and along the lines of, "It's going to erupt again." When the driver would look at the woman in their rearview mirror she would be gone.
There were so many similar reports of this that they were actually broadcast in local news reports and various police departments throughout the area were notified that they would likely several reports from drivers claiming to have seen the woman.
Perhaps what's most eerie about the story is during some of her last manifestations, the woman reportedly told drivers, "The volcano will erupt between October 12 and 14." People assumed the woman had meant October 1980 so many waited apprehensively wondering if the volcano would indeed erupt. But those days came and went without incident and soon the stories of the woman in white were forgotten.
Twenty-four years after the devastating eruption that changed the landscape of southwestern Washington, Mount St. Helens awoke in late September of 2004 and began spewing ash and steam thousands of feet into the air. Scientists predicted that while it would certainly not be as catastrophic as the eruption of 1980, the main event of this awakening climax with molten lava pushing through the surface.
The legend of the woman in white had all but been forgotten – that is, until scientists finally recorded lava coming through the crater floor. The date? October 12.

As this game goes on, the talent gap between the Islanders and Penguins becomes more and more apparent. Not even talent, really. The Penguins are just far more experienced when it comes to playoff hockey.
They've cashed in on that experience, pushing the Islanders around to the tune of a 5-0 lead. Kris Letang and Pascal Dupuis scored within 34 seconds of each other to start the second period, chasing Evgeni Nabokov from the net he's struggled to defend on Wednesday. For those keeping score at home, Nabby gave up four goals on 15 shots. His backup, Kevin Poulin, didn't fare much better. Poulin gave up a softie to Tanner Glass to make it a 5-0 lead.
Pittsburgh has just set the tone tonight in all areas of the game. They've been physical (John Tavares has suffered some bumps and bruises tonight) and relentless with their attack. The young Islanders just can't keep up.
There is some bad news for Pittsburgh. James Neal left early in the second period and hasn't returned. He suffered a concussion earlier this season.

HTC ThunderBolt
HTC ThunderBolt
HTC ThunderBolt
HTC offers a better-than-stock music player with a nice interface and slick widgets. Albums can be flipped through in a carousel, though a more familiar list interface is also available.
There are no earphones included with the ThunderBolt, but audio quality was good with basic ones that I had from other phones. You can opt for different equalizer settings when using headphones, which is a nice touch. There is also SRS enhancement, but I found it to be unnatural sounding and left it off most of the time. Stereo Bluetooth streaming worked without issues and sounded good as well. There is an FM radio built-in, but it requires the use of wired headphones, which act as the antenna. Thanks to the kickstand and the external speaker behind it, music was full and loud, or as full as can be expected from a phone.
Unfortunately, the powerful high-speed 4G radio is also the root of the ThunderBolt's greatest flaw. Battery life from the stock 1400mAh battery leaves much to be desired with the ThunderBolt. Most smartphones on the market today are capable of lasting the entire day on a full charge. This is not the case with the ThunderBolt, especially if you are in a 4G area. Verizon claims that the 'Bolt is capable of 6.3 hours of talk time and almost 14 days of standby. On an average day, making a few phone calls, using text messaging all day, occasional web browsing, and syncing two email accounts along with Facebook and Twitter, the ThunderBolt's battery would last approximately 6 to 8 hours before showing the red line and needing to be charged again. In some cases, such as areas where there is a weaker network signal, the battery would drain even faster. Unlike the EVO 4G, HTC has not included a widget to toggle the 4G radio on and off (though there is a trick for that).
I usually recommend a second battery with any smartphone that allows you to swap out the battery, but with the ThunderBolt it is almost a necessity.
The HTC ThunderBolt is a groundbreaking device, despite having a pedestrian design and familiar interface. The speed offered by a true 4G network and the impact it has on mobile technology cannot be understated. The ability to have true broadband connectivity while out and about will change the way we use mobile devices.
Unfortunately, the sub-par battery life holds the ThunderBolt back from getting a full 5 stars. Everything else was a pleasure with the device, but not being able to last a standard day is a real deal-breaker for many people. Yes, you can get an extended battery or a spare stock battery, but that is an added cost and weight on a device that is neither inexpensive nor light to begin with.
Currently, the HTC ThunderBolt could be considered the best Android device on the market - or at least the best from Verizon. Its combination of a great interface, top-notch specs, and unparalleled data speeds make it tough to beat. It's a no-brainer if you are lucky enough to live in one of Verizon's 4G markets, and a strong contender even if you are not - that is, if you can deal with the poor battery life and the slightly larger size.
You'll find a sample 720p HD video shot with the HTC ThunderBolt as well as some still photos on the following page.

BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Red Sox have honored the late Johnny Pesky at a postgame ceremony at Fenway Park.
Some fans who attended Boston's 2-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday, and others who were admitted afterward, listened to current and former Red Sox players reminisce about the former player, manager and broadcaster who died on Aug. 13.
Among those who spoke were retired players Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez, Tim Wakefield and Jason Varitek, Hall of Famers Carlton Fisk and Jim Rice, and active players David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia. Most, if not all, current Boston players, attended.
Pesky died at the age of 93. Baseball records show his birth date as Sept. 27, 1919, a change he once made to meet scouting age limits for tryouts.

Shamiel Gary is playing better and Daytawion Lowe is playing better. We're getting good play inside and we just have a few other players that need to pick up their game. We're getting effort and we're tackling better. They're starting to get adjusted and our coaches are doing a nice job. This will be a good challenge to face a team averaging 45 points a game. We'll find out if we've gotten anywhere near where we need to be."
