Hendricks County Flyer
---- — BROWNSBURG — Earlier this week, Brownsburg West Middle School was named the NFL Play 60 Super School and students were treated to a special event with members of the Indianapolis Colts.
The players included long snapper Matt Overton, cornerback Josh Gordy, guard Hugh Thorton, linebacker Daniel Adongo, tight end Weslye Saunders, and free safety Sergio Brown, as well as Colts cheerleaders and Colts mascot Blue.
Pete Nemeth, senior director of government affairs at Comcast, which is a partner for the Play 60 program, kicked off the event.
"The NFL Play 60 Super School Program is a natural fit for Comcast," Nemeth told the crowd. "We work in your community to champion education and we believe that physical education is necessary to teach you the importance of fitness throughout your lifetime. As a long standing partner in the Brownsburg community, Comcast is proud to champion the NFL Play 60 Super Schools with the NFL Network and your Indianapolis Colts."
Nemeth said the idea is that the event will get the students to be more active.
"We hope that today's event and this entire program will help you get excited about your own physical education and get fit and healthy for your life," he said. "I know that it worked for me. Thank you to Brownsburg Middle School, Brownsburg Community School Corporation, the NFL Network, and the Colts for allowing Comcast to be part of the day today."
Overton also congratulated Brownsburg West for the accomplishment.
"Congratulations on being named this year's NFL Play 60 Super School of the year for being active and promoting 60 minutes of health and fitness every single day," he said.
Several students were then given the opportunity to ask the players questions.
Saunders, who grew up in the Indianapolis area, took one question that focused on bullying.
"I did get bullied," he said. "I was the big fat kid everybody made fun of. What I could do was run around and run through them and I could dunk on them and I could catch the football."
He said he used the bullying as motivation to stay healthy and active, which ultimately led to him playing for "best team in the NFL."
Overton answered another question, which was about his pregame ritual.
"I get up really early the morning of game day," Overton said. "The first thing I do is have my coffee, then I listen to some country music, then do a little bit of praying and reading — just something to keep my mind away from the game."
Once he gets to the stadium, he said he goes out early to warm up with punter Pat McAfee.
At the end of the convocation, the players, on behalf of the organization, presented the school with a $10,000 youth health and wellness grant.
Eighth-grade students in the best physical education class and members of the Brownsburg Fuel Up to Play 60 program had the opportunity to take part in the NFL Play 60 Ultimate PE Class with the Colts.
The students rotated through a circuit of activities and got to interact with the players, cheerleaders, and Blue, who also took part in or led some of the activities.
After the activities, Saunders said giving back to the community is part of his duty as an NFL player.
"It's real important to come back and talk to the kids," he said. "When I see these kids, I see myself … just 13 years ago. I think they're starting to get the points, because the're not just hearing it from parents or their teachers."
Saunders added that he had a good time being able to participate in the activities and have fun with the students.
"It gives them a reason to get out of class a little early," he said. "They we're having a blast and they were loving it. We couldn't ask for more."

HOUSTON (AP) — Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and the three fellow Republicans vying to take his post kept things largely civil during a debate Tuesday night — often struggling to find key areas of disagreement.
Dewhurst, who oversees the state Senate, bragged about helping secure nearly 50 tax cuts since taking office in 2003. He is seeking re-election after losing a 2012 U.S. Senate race to Ted Cruz.
State Sen. Dan Patrick, a tea party favorite from Houston, vowed to ram red-meat conservative proposals through the Legislature if elected, including allowing carrying guns on college campuses and expanding school choice to let parents use state funding to pull their children out of struggling, traditional public schools in favor of charters or religious and private alternatives.
Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said he wouldn't allow "environmental Nazis" to use federal and state wildlife protections to limit oil and natural gas exploration, but also stressed that he was not a single-issue candidate. Todd Staples, the state's agricultural commissioner, said he has successfully stood up for ranchers on the Texas-Mexico border whose property was in danger of being overrun by drug cartels.
"If you're looking to vote for the nicest guy up here, it's going to be a four-way split," Patrick told a crowd of about 200.
But Patrick, who Dewhurst appointed head of the powerful Senate Education Committee for this past legislative session, later took a swipe at the lieutenant governor, saying he'd used his position to choose too many Democratic committee heads.
"I'm not going to let the Democrats run the Texas Senate," Patrick said. Because of a dispersed question-answer format, Dewhurst wasn't given a chance to respond directly.
Sparks flew at a previous debate when Patrick made a similar argument. Dewhurst shot back then that Democrats didn't lead any important committees — drawing the ire of San Antonio Democratic Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, who chairs a veterans affairs committee.
No major Democratic candidate has yet declared to run for lieutenant governor, but Van De Putte has been mentioned as a possible contender. If no one in the crowded Republican field wins at least 50 percent of the votes cast in the March primary, meanwhile, the top-two finishers will advance to a runoff.
Tuesday's debate was sponsored by the United Republicans of Harris County and the Texas Federation of Republican Women. Asked what was the worst mistake he'd made in office, Dewhurst said he now jokes when addressing police groups that it's "much better to talk to police officers in person than on the phone."
That drew loud laughter and was a reference to Dewhurst recently calling police in a Dallas suburb and trying to insert his influence after his niece was arrested for shoplifting. He added Tuesday: "What would you do if it's Saturday night and two relatives call you crying?"
Another laugh line came when Patterson was asked if he would support a proposal to better track so-called "dark money" political contributions statewide. He replied simply: "Yes."
A bill approved by the Legislature but vetoed by Gov. Rick Perry would have required some politically active nonprofits to disclose their major donors.
Fielding the same question, Patrick noted that releasing the names of key donors to anti-abortion groups and other organizations working on politically sensitive matters could lead to boycotts of certain businesses. He said it was especially important for interests who stand up for "pro-life, pro-family, pro-Christian values."
Staples also talked openly about religion, reminding the crowd that our rights "come from God not man" and are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
"The bigger government gets the more it infringes on those rights," Staples said, promising to stamp out "waste and inefficiencies" in every state agency, even if he has to summon their heads to his office every week.

SIGNING: No place like home for CHS' Sutton
3-5A MVP signs to play at Angelo State
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Reggie Sutton was center stage one last time Wednesday at the Central High School gym.
With his family by his side and former teammates and friends looking on, the Bobcats basketball star signed a scholarship to play at Angelo State University.
It wasn't a big surprise as ASU head coach Fred Rike was a fixture as Sutton's games last season. He was even in attendance in Monahans when the Bobcats' season ended in the regional quarterfinals.
Rike's persistence helped convince the 6-foot-3 guard to sign with his hometown school.
"To see how much people want you to play for them ... coach Rike showed that a lot for me," Sutton said. "I've been good friends with him since ninth grade when I went to his basketball camp. We stayed in touch throughout my whole high school career. He's been to all my games.
"That type of chemistry we already have was a big sign for me to know that Angelo State was probably in my future."
Sutton was one of the most dynamic scorers in West Texas the past three years. He averaged over 20.5 points per game last season, scoring 30 or more on six occasions, with a wide array of shots and drives to the basket, earning him District 3-5A MVP honors.
Sutton also led Central to its best season in 49 years. The Bobcats were 31-6 and won a pair of playoff games, along with the program's first district title in 21 years.
"I love watching Reggie play," Rike said. "Reggie's a guy that can score in a variety of ways. He's got great range on his shot, and he really elevates on his midrange shot.
"But the thing I'm most excited about is the kind of person he is. I think he's a good person. I really love his family. I've had a chance to really watch him develop, and I think he's just going to continue to get better. I know he was well-coached in high school. He's got to be one of the best players to come through the city of San Angelo as far as high school basketball, and that says a lot right there."
Sutton joins an ASU roster with other area standouts, including Bronte's Dakota Rawls, Wall's Justin Walling and Brady's Zach Jones.
"One of the things about recruiting, I don't care where you are, is you always start in your backyard," Rike said. "If a guy there is good enough to win and help your program, you've got to recruit him. Shoot, you have to get him, and I feel like I've done that."
Sutton knows Rawls and Walling from playing against them in scrimmages or summer leagues, and he said that also played a part in his decision to attend ASU.
"Hopefully we can get chemistry together and be successful as an ASU team," Sutton said.
Central head coach Jaime Boswell said the signing was a big moment for Sutton and the program.
"It says a lot about him and his work ethic and what he's been able to accomplish," Boswell said. "It's not very often a kid, especially a basketball player, goes on to play at the next level, especially Division II or higher. It's tough to get a scholarship Division II or higher. I've been very impressed with him since the day I got here, and it just helps us out as a program. Hopefully we have more to come."
Sutton said he's looking forward to playing at ASU, but he'll miss playing at Central.
"It meant a lot. I had some big games in this gym, some big plays, " Sutton said. "The crowd, the atmosphere of being here, it was amazing and I'm going to miss it. But I'll be back to make sure this team is upright and doing what it's supposed to do. I'll be back to come out and support them."

Rep. Vance Dennis Named to Chair Civil Practice Sub
State Rep. Vance Dennis, R-Savannah, was named chairman of the Civil Practice Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee Thursday by House Speaker Kent Williams.
He replaces former state Rep. Brian Kelsey, R-Germantown, who has been elected to the state Senate.
From a Williams news release:
"Representative Vance Dennis has proven himself as a valuable legislator" said Speaker Williams. "His legal experience will serve him well as he leads the Civil Practice and Procedure Subcommittee. I am especially proud of the way he initially stepped in and served as a member of the Civil Practice and Procedure Subcommittee.
Representative Dennis displayed extensive knowledge and sound judgment as he participated in debate and helped steer the committee through very difficult issues."
Rep. Dennis continues to serve on the House Health and Human Resources Committee, the House Judiciary Committee, and the House Public Health Subcommittee. He is also the Vice-Chairman of the House Republican Caucus Task Force on Crime.
A Hardin County native, Representative Dennis graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Agricultural Economics and earned his law degree from the University of Tennessee College of Law. He is a partner at the law firm of McGee and Dennis in Savannah, where he maintains a general practice dealing with domestic, criminal, civil, probate, and real estate matters.
Representative Dennis, his wife, Ashley, and their two sons reside in the Olivet community in Hardin County. Rep. Dennis represents the 71st House district, which includes Hardin, McNairy, and part of Decatur Counties.

We have a payment gateway with Heartland Payment Systems... alternatives?
We have a merchant account with Bank of America. My boss is checking into Intuit to replace Heartland. We don't want a third party processor like Authorize.net, we want to keep our own merchant account and not use a third party's due to our fairly high monthly volume. It's hard weeding through all the options because you tend to see a lot of third party processors mixed in with all the discussions. We just want our own gateway.
Is Quantum an option we would be looking for? What are some other options for gateways only? We have the ability to do the development to tie it into our system. We don't want a hosted solution. We want it to be completely tied into our website.

A typical setup is to have cart software (like osCommerce etc.) built into your website, a payment gateway, and a merchant account. There are many gateways out there. What country are you in? There may be recommended ones in your region.

Hello all. My wife and I have toyed with the idea of moving to PDX for sometime now. Now that I am finally finishing up all my gradschooling, the time seems ripe for a move this summer. Ergo, we are trying to make some connections now in order to pursue job opportunities and living situations. Considering the great diversity on this site, I thought what a great place to put some feelers out. Read on below for a little bit about myself and my wife. If you know of anything we should look at, or anyone we should talk to, please let me know.
(If some people could rec this so it stays up for a bit, I would appreciate it. I will delete the post when it appears (if any) responses have slowed.)
Me: I graduated June 2011 with a master's degree in social work from the University of Denver. At the end of May I will complete a post-graduate training course in marriage and family therapy at the Denver Family Institute. Since last May I have been working full-time at a child placement agency in Colorado Springs doing individual and family therapy with kids/teens in foster care, and in-home family therapy services to prevent out-of-home placement for families at risk. I am interested in the mental health field first and foremost (particularly marriage and family therapy), but I am open to most any kind of social work opportunity as well. I have been researching the field in the area and a few organizations that stand out include Morrison Child and Family Services, LifeWorks NW, and YouthVillages (formerly ChristieCare). If you have worked for or utilized services from these agencies or others like them, I would love to hear about your experience.
My wife: She has worked as a music teacher for 8 years now in Colorado Springs: The first 2 years were in elementary schools, the last 6 have been as a choir conductor at a 5A school in Colorado Springs (the largest classification). She received her musical education and training from St. Olaf College. I am a biased non-expert, but she is very talented and very very good at what she does. She has a particular interest right now in returning to the elementary level since we have 2 young children (2.75 years old, and 3 months). The high school level is very demanding of time outside of normal working hours, and she would like to focus more on family (as would I) at this time, though I think she would be open to most any opportunity that would get us out there. Through a contact in the West Linn-Wilsonville SD, we know about 2 new elementary schools that are opening that she will be pursuing. But any other advice on schools/districts that value the arts and support music and schools would be very helpful. We have been counseled in the past to stay away from Portland Public Schools, but perhaps there are good schools within the district that would be better than others as far as music and the arts? (And if anyone can explain WHY we should stay away from PPS, that might help as well. My cursory understanding is that budget is a constant mess, so programs and particularly arts are always being cut.)
Lastly, as mentioned above we have 2 young children, and hope to have more. We would love some advice on inexpensive family friendly neighborhoods. We will probably want to be convenient to wherever we get jobs, but as new residents of the city we would also like to be able to experience all the fun things that Portland has to offer. We live in the burbs right now, and I think we're interested in something more urban going forward, but would be open either way. I grew up in the SW hills in the Bridlemile school area and have fond memories, but perhaps that would be a little more isolated than we want right now as we get to know the city again.
We will be visiting family in the area March 22-31 for my wife's spring break, and we would love to drop some resumes and make some contacts while we are there. Thanks for bearing with this off-topic post, and I am so looking forward to everyone's responses.
(Also, if anyone has tix to the OKC game on March 27th they don't think they'll use, I might be interested ... ;) )

DEKALB COUNTY, AL (WZDX) - A jail employee was arrested Wednesday and charged with stealing money from a jail detainee.
28-year-old John Culpepper of Dawson has been charged with theft. According to DeKalb County Sheriff Jimmy Harris, his department started investigating a complaint in September that a detainee in the jail was missing $325 he had when he was booked into jail.
Culpepper was fired following his arrest.
"Law Enforcement Officers and Correction Officers hold the public's trust and even though sometimes it is tough to do, we must be held to the standards we enforce," said Sheriff Harris in a prepared statement.
Culpepper was booked into the DeKalb County Detention Center with a $1,500.00 bond.

The new East Riding Community Hospital will serve Driffield, West Wolds, Beverley and Hornse.
The new 19 million East Riding Community Hospital based in Beverley will open its doors to the public today and will primarily serve the Driffield, West Wolds, Beverley and Hornsea communities.
Around 300 people got a first glimpse of the new building at the recent hospital preview day.
NHS bosses say feedback has been overwhelmingly positive with visitors impressed with the 'spacious environment', 'high standard of equipment and patient accommodation' and 'light airy feel to the building that will have a positive impact on patient care'.
- Outpatient consultations and treatments, including a state-of-the-art audiology suite
- Minor Injuries Unit
- GP out of hours services
- Diagnostics (including digital x-ray, ultrasound and facilities for mobile CT and MRI scanning)
- Therapy services for adults and children
- Wheelchair assessment
– Karen Knapton, Chairman of NHS East Riding of Yorkshire
"This is a long-awaited and very proud day for everyone closely involved in the Community Hospital project. Throughout the project we have focused on the people who are going to use the hospital and how it will help deliver better health outcomes for patients. It is an outstanding building and we have been very pleased by the positive reaction from staff and local residents."
A local artist was commissioned to develop a pasture/meadow theme to run throughout the building to reflect the surroundings of the Swine Moor. This theme is reproduced on curtains, in waiting areas, link corridors, on glazed panels, and benches in the landscaped courtyards.

By Jeff Barker The Baltimore Sun
9:47 a.m. EST, January 13, 2012
Maryland has completed a negotiated buyout of defensive coordinator Todd Bradford's contract -- clearing the way for the school to hire a replacement.
The Sun reported Dec. 22 that Bradford -- whose defense ranked last in the Atlantic Coast Conference, surrendering an average of 34.2 points and 457.2 yards per game -- was likely out.
The school has now reached a buyout agreement with Bradford, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations. The terms are not yet public.

The April 9 Maine Sunday Telegram included a feature story about Sea and Reef Aquaculture, developed by Soren Hansen — now the company's president — when he was a doctoral student in UMaine's School of Marine Science. Headquartered at UMaine's Center for Cooperative Aquaculture Research in Franklin, the successful business raises tropical fish for wholesalers and retailers nationwide. The story notes that Prof. Dave Townsend encouraged Hansen and his business partner who helped him get the company started, Chad Callan. Except for a those raised by a small number of businesses like this one, virtually all the tropical fish sold for aquariums are harvested from coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean.

Anyone know of a Mac software (free or $$$) specifically for making Animated GIFs?
Yeah, I know I can use GIMP, and I have but it's time intensive. I was looking for something I can just put in bunch a frames and have it spit out a GIF lickety-split.
And yes, I've tried GIF Fun. It's output is very underwhelming.
And like I said, it doesn't matter if it's free or not.

My first FanPost! As I watched the incredible come-from-behind performance by our beloved Avs last night, I couldn't help but to think back on other great Av performances. Which also made me think of past Av greats. Forsberg. Sakic. Roy. As I watch our current team, I can't help but think that we have several guys right now who will either match or overtake past legends. So I decided to do a comparison and chart their courses. Let's start today with our forwards. More after the jump (my first jump!):
Stastny - Has the vision and passing capability of Forsberg, but probably has more goal scoring potential. I can see him eventually becoming better than Forsberg, if he isn't already there.
Duchene - Has the quickness and speed of Sakic. Seems to be trying to play more like Forsberg, but when he adjusts his game, he will completely replace, and surpass Super Joe. And as much as I love Super Joe, I don't think it will even be close.
Jones - Has a knack for big goals (even though he actually didn't score last night's), similar to Sakic. But also is more of a power forward, in the mold of Claude Lemieux. Also is finally showing some sandpaper and grit, like Claude, so I can see him replacing him in his role.
Lindstrom - Has all of the skill, the hands, and the offensive tenacity to eventually replace a living legend still on the Av roster, Milan Hejduk. I can see him racking up over 40 goals in several straight seasons once his adjustment to the NHL is complete.
O'Reilly - I'm having a hard time thinking of anyone on past teams to compare him to. He is that good. Mark my words, he will one day be remembered as the best two-way center in the history of the franchise. What he is doing out there on the ice already is astounding, given his age and experience.
Landeskog - 18? 18? What can I say? He will be, when it is all said and done, the best power forward to ever proudly wear the A. His level of play is already unreal. I can see several Hart trophys, Conn Smythes, and plenty of other hardware in his future. He will be, in a sense, Sakic and Forsberg combined, but in a power forward on the wing.
Galiardi - I'm really not sure why the last few years have been so bumpy for this guy. What I saw last night was someone willing to take the body, with plenty of speed and skill, and who also has enough talent to contribute offensively. I see him replacing Adam Deadmarsh.
Kobasew - Did everyone see him generate that incredible chance on the short handed breakaway last night? Or what about his wraparound goal a little while back? On any other team, he'd be logging first line minutes and racking up goals. I see him as Kamensky, but with a little bit more grit and toughness. But the skill is certainly there.
I could go on, because I'm sure the other forwards would also be flourishing on a less talented roster, but this is probably enough. I really don't understand all of the negativity surrounding this group lately, and would welcome opinions on this!

AT&T CENTER – Coming into Wednesday's matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls, the Bulls were 10-4 in the New Year and were holding teams to 93.1 points per game during that stretch. The Spurs on the other hand, started a shooting guard who has made trips to Austin and back (Nando De Colo), and they also started a player who is on a 10-day contract (Othyus Jeffers.)
"With a lot of guys out, our consistency just isn't there," said Spurs forward Tim Duncan (17 points, 12 rebounds) of his team's 96-86 loss to the Bulls after 48 minutes of play. "We can't sustain during periods of time when we need to," continued Duncan. On a night when the Spurs turned the ball over 19 times due to many different lineups that weren't accustomed to playing together, it was a specific third quarter run by the Bulls that helped Chicago take command of the game.
Then, with 3:30 left in the third quarter, the Spurs were only down one point (56-55) to the Bulls, but their defense would slip and allow Chicago to go on an 11-2 run to take a 10 point lead with 1:27 left in the quarter. When the third quarter ended, the Spurs found themselves down by seven points. In the fourth, the Bulls jumped out to a quick 13-point lead a minute and a half into the quarter, and the Spurs couldn't claw their way back into the game as the Bulls' lead reached its peak at 15 points, before Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich had to pull his core players in the final two minutes.
"About midway there they just lost the consistency," said Popovich of his squad midway through the third quarter. "It wasn't there as a group. The group didn't play good defense. They took advantage of it and they scored. We just couldn't get back in it or get anything to go down."
For the Spurs, Wednesday marked their third loss in a row, something that they're not used to this season. "It's tough right now," said Tony Parker (20 points, 6 assists) after the game, "(on a ) back to back, we had no energy. We had some good looks in the first half but they just didn't go in. We tried to fight through in the second half."
"We're not going to make excuses, everybody gets injuries," continued Parker. "We'll find solutions, we have two days. We need to find a rhythm. We'll get it, we just have to stay positive."
Through the first half, the Spurs' defense was playing well enough to win, but in the second half, they gave up back-to-back 28 point quarters. A key reason for the Bulls' points was the Spurs' turnovers (19) and the Bulls' ability to score in the paint (52-26 Chicago in the paint) and draw fouls, as Chicago shot 23 free throws. For the Spurs, playing a top-5 defense in Chicago with unfamiliar lineups and players, they shot 46.5% on the night, but only accumulated 16 assists. Being on the road and suffering the recent losses while trying to give unfamiliar players more minutes and responsibility will be an adjustment going forward.
Post-Game Nuggets
Parker hurt as well
After the game, Tony Parker said he got banged up against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday in his thigh area. He said he now has minor injuries to his thigh, shin, and hand, but he added, "I can't take no risk (of resting), we already have four guys out."
The Comedic Duncan on upcoming All-Star selection
In the locker room, Duncan was asked if he'll be watching the All-Star reserve selection show on Thursday, to which Duncan responded in a serious tone, "I don't know what channel that is (on). I'll probably be watching cartoon network."

Twice now, Old Dominion University has served as a place of refuge and learning for Sister Agatha Munyanyi from Zimbabwe.
Three decades ago, she spent several years on the Norfolk campus studying medical technology and getting a master's degree in clinical chemistry. She had come to the United States as a young novice to avoid the revolutionary upheaval that eventually brought independence from Great Britain-and the new name of Zimbabwe-to her native Rhodesia.
This fall, after intervening years of working in medical laboratories and training technicians in her country, she returned to ODU to pursue a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences. She believes the program will better prepare her to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic that is worse in Zimbabwe than anywhere else in sub-Saharan Africa. Conditions over all in her country currently are bleak and sometimes dangerous, she says, and her Sisters of the Child Jesus congregation suggested that this would be a good time for her to continue her education in the United States.
"Politicians have messed up again. I am coming from a Zimbabwe suffering from economic hardships. Inflation is at 4,000 percent. When I returned to Zimbabwe in 1981 I was just in time for reconstruction after the civil war. When I go back this time, I will be involved in another kind of reconstruction," she says.
Sister Agatha, wearing a gray habit and white veil, turns heads as she moves about the Alfriend Chemistry Building to teach undergraduate classes or advise students. But she is rapidly settling in. Her ever-ready smile and soft voice, together with her reputation as a hardworking chemist, have won her dozens of friends since she arrived late in the summer.
One of her biggest champions is Patricia Pleban, associate professor and assistant chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Pleban was new to the ODU faculty in 1979 and accepted Sister Agatha as her first master's student. "She was an excellent student and you could always count on her being there, even on weekends and holidays, unless it was a religious holiday," Pleban says. "She was, I can say, a moderating force on other students."
Sister Agatha contacted Pleban in the spring of 2006 to inquire about returning to ODU to enter a Ph.D. program. But Pleban is more involved now in teaching and administrative work than in research, and could not serve as a doctoral adviser. She recommended Sister Agatha to another faculty member, Lesley Greene, an assistant professor who joined ODU in 2006, and whose research interests are similar to those of Sister Agatha.
That match has worked out well, in all sorts of ways.
Greene, who received her Ph.D. from the University of Miami, is something of a globetrotter herself, having done research and been affiliated with academic institutions in Germany, Israel and England. "I had spent seven years in England before I came to ODU, and I remembered how hard it is to get settled, even if you have family and friends in the U.S.," she says.
So Greene worked with her graduate students and others such as Alicia Herr, the chemistry department manager, to make Sister Agatha feel at home in Norfolk. One of Greene's graduate students, Hai Li from China, took it upon himself to canvass neighborhoods near campus, and he found a good home for the Catholic nun. It is a house shared by three other female ODU graduate students, each of whom is devout, one being Hindu and from Nepal and the other two Muslim from Bangladesh. "These women were looking for a roommate. They didn't want anybody who would smoke and drink and party, and that's what they got in Sister Agatha," Greene says.
"We are mature women and religious people, so our home is the ideal place for us to focus on our studies," Sister Agatha adds. One of the roommates, Trisha Ahmed, studies computer engineering and has been able to help her new Catholic friend master computational chores. "She keeps telling me, 'Sister, don't worry. I'll show you how.'"
Pleban and Herr have taken the lead in finding or donating necessities like home furnishings, cooking utensils and linens. On a recent chilly November afternoon, Sister Agatha was wearing a brightly colored ski sweater over her habit. "All of my clothes were light. When the weather turned cold I was freezing, and Professor Pleban brought this in," she said, rubbing the sweater's sleeve.
What she needs most now is transportation. Although she does drive-"I learned the first time I was here"-she cannot afford a car on the modest pay she receives as a teaching assistant. She has to depend on volunteers to drive her to church or to the grocery store.
"There's no way anyone in my country could send me money," Sister Agatha points out. "With the inflation, they'd have to send a roomful of money for it to be worth anything here."
The little bit of money she brought with her from Zimbabwe took a hit immediately upon her arrival in the United States. She was caught up in a dispute between two airlines and ended up spending more than 48 hours at John F. Kennedy International Airport before she could negotiate her way onto a plane to Norfolk. "They said they required $300 for a new ticket to Norfolk and I kept telling them I did not have that money. I was saying to myself, 'Dear Lord, what have I done, coming to America!' When I finally got to Norfolk, I saw a woman with open arms in the airport and I just ran into them. It was Alicia (Herr), although I didn't know her then. All I saw was open arms and that is what I needed."
Greene says that Sister Agatha is writing a research proposal that will have her focus over the next four years on the genesis of Parkinson's disease, work that will "try to decipher the second half of the genetic code." For her first semester, the new Ph.D. student also has her hands full with teaching and preparing an application for a scholarship that could help her with expenses. She will get some extra funding during the first six months of 2008 from a multidisciplinary seed grant that Greene received in November from the ODU Office of Research.
"The training that she will get here is fundamental training that is very good, in that it carries over into many areas of biochemistry, into cloning, making proteins and characterizing proteins," Greene says.
If all goes as she plans, Sister Agatha will be 58 when she returns to Zimbabwe in 2011 as Agatha Munyanyi, Ph.D. She says she looks forward to the challenge, although there is no way for her to know whether longtime head of state Robert Mugabe will still be in power, or if political and economic unrest will have settled. "I definitely will go back. I want to teach in medical school, teach medical technologists, clinical chemistry and biochemistry. And I want to be involved in research, such as HIV/AIDS research, and especially research work that encourages other women into the field. When they see a Catholic nun doing medical research they say, 'If a nun can do it, I can do it, too.'''
"I'm sure she is a role model for women, and what she learns here will advance her country, tremendously," says Greene. "When we see foundations are falling apart, we need to do whatever we can to strengthen nations scientifically, medically, intellectually."

- Do you agree with the City's actions? Participate in our Facebook Poll.
The city of Lake Forest has decided to take a wait-and-see attitude on enacting a local ordinance on the use of cellphones and electronic devices while driving.
At its Feb. 21 City Council meeting, a lack of consensus among the eight aldermen resulted in a 4-4 tie vote on first reading. Mayor James Cowhey voted to break the tie with a "no," since the Illinois General Assembly is considering an expansion of the state cellphone law, which requires hands-free-only use in school and construction zones.
"We are talking about first reading, not final approval," said Cowhey. "I say wait for the state's (action) to come back."
In December, of waiting to see if Lake Forest would enact an ordinance.
The Lake Forest ordinance could have stayed the same and followed state law, or it could have been expanded to allow only hands-free use. A third distracted driving option would have covered "anything besides driving a car," though council members at the last meeting didn't feel that was a viable option.

Alderman Michael Adelman said his support of an ordinance had nothing to do with whether the city made any revenue.
"No value can be put on loss of life," he said. "We're talking about the health, safety and welfare of the constituents. Whether police enforce it, we have a deterrent to save a life or preclude a permanent disability, so I'm still in favor of it."
Alderman Kent Novit said the term distractions should be broadened.
"Certainly we all have concerns for safety, but if we're going to look at this issue, why not do it to all potential distractions while driving based on logic?" asked Alderman Kent Novit.
Alderman Catherine Waldeck had several objections to the ordinance, but was most bothered by more intrusion in people's lives.
"I understand the arguments in favor of this ordinance, and they're good arguments, but what I keep coming back to here, but can't get over, is we're taking normal acceptable behavior — talking on a cellphone — and making it not acceptable," she said. "We're doing more than making it criminal, we're punishing it. We can't equate distracted driving with driving under the influence.
"We're passing a law that's going to govern something people do every day," she added. "It seems too intrusive to me. It's too big-brotherish. I don't think people want government involvement in their lives. It's not what people want, and I don't think it's the best use of our police force's time."
Alderman Robert Palmer said his support of an ordinance came from personal experience.
"The reality is my brother-in-law was hit head-on by someone talking (on the phone) and went across the line," he said. "It's a serious matter. It's not a matter of personal convenience."

Appearance: Not terribly carbonated. There was some ok lacing and foam. Bright red in hue.
Smell: Strong caramel malt and pine/citrus hops. Nice balance, but not terrible original.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Caramel malt and some hops. Dry, hay-like finish as well. Does down pretty well. Very drinkable.
Overall Drinkability: A good run-of-the-mill beer.

Served in a Chicago Bears shaker pint glass.
Watchin' some 40oz Crew vids on the YT and drinkin' some Argus...good times... This stuff pours a clear sunrise tawn topped by a finger of cream-white foam. The nose comprises orange zest, coriander, and light-but-sharp black pepper. The taste brings in more of the same, with the pepper coming in toward the finish, while the orange and coriander (and a touch of mild wheat) roam freely, unsupervised. The body is a light medium, with a very light moderate carbonation and a lightly creamy feel. Overall, a nice little red, nothing too special, but eminently drinkable and generally enjoyable.

I bought a single 12oz bottle of this from Binny's Beverage Depot in Plainfield, IL in Fall 2011.
Pours a cloudy copper orange color with not too much of a head. Scent of caramel malts and buttery tones. Taste has that dry malt flavor to it as well as some hops. Fairly drinkable and enjoyable, just wish there was some stronger variety of flavors hitting the taste buds. A decent every day kind of beer.

Poured from bottle into pint glass.
A: Pours a caramel-brownish gold with a large foamy white head that retains well without clingy lacing.
S: Earthy scent with toasted caramel malts, buttery biscuit, and citrus.
T: The caramel malt is the first taste with some hop bite. Some bready taste to finish.
M: Light/Medium body with good carbonation.
O: For a red it wasn't as hop driven as others, but it did have a marzen quality to the taste.

Less than one finger of head, ok bubling that shows through a bronze and copper colored amber brew. I like the color a lot.
Just a little grass and toasted citrus peels in the aroma. After that, its all toasted malt caremel, cracker, biscuits, and bread crust.
The taste has lots of grainy malt sweetness. A little caramel mixed with Wonderbread crusts somewhat tart biscuits. The hops add the usual citric flavors along with a soft mint finish.
Being from the Chicagoland area, I'm a little biased. Thta not withstanding, this is a great local session ale. I ould love 2 try this on tap.

Poured in a pint glass. About a 1 finger head, with a deep copper color. Subtle malty aromas. Slight lacing along glass. Taste is very balanced with a malty presence while the hops play in the background. I was pleasantly surprised by its drinkability and is a very good sessionable beer. The folks at Argus contract brew for suburban restaurants here in Northern Illinois such as Ballydoyle Irish Pubs and Country House restaurants. They are also sold at retail. I hope to have this on tap as I drink local whenever possible.

The morning sun beats down and you begin to break a sweat as you place a perfect cast just above a deep, clear pool. Long dark shadows shift ominously in the current as your streamer swims just below the surface. Without any warning the surface of the water explodes as a hefty Atlantic Salmon strikes your fly with the force of a torpedo. A quick strip of the line and you realize the fish missed the fly. Before you can pull another strip of line through your fingers, two more shadows race towards the surface. Again the water ruptures as a silvery salmon clears the surface with your fly clenched between its jaws.
Does this sound like a familiar experience? If not, it is time to take a trip to the world-famous St. Mary's River, where thousands of Atlantic Salmon gather each year, amongst a variety of other trout and salmon species, to spend the summer before taking to the gravel to spawn later in the fall. These salmon offer anglers of all backgrounds a unique fishing opportunity like none other and are susceptible to fly and lure throughout a great portion of the spring and summer.
In the spring of 2009, the St. Mary's Guide Company began offering guided fishing experiences to interested anglers, providing an invaluable learning experience and a once in a lifetime opportunity to beginning and seasoned anglers alike who decided to take advantage of the fishing opportunities that exist on the St. Mary's River.
Anglers are invited to join guides Captain Travis White and Captain Dennis White for an unforgettable fishing experience. Great Lakes Atlantic Salmon, Steelhead, Chinook Salmon, Pink Salmon, Lake Trout, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Splake, and many other game fish can be taken on the fly, wet and dry, throughout the summer, which entails a head to head fight that no avid fly fisherman will ever forget. For those who prefer to use spinning tackle, these sport fish also provide a memorable challenge on ultra-light tackle. No fishing experience is necessary to land one's first trophy trout or salmon, and on-site fishing lessons are perhaps one of the most valuable aspects of a guided fishing trip.

Extreme comments ignored and few focus on negative reviews says TripAdvisor [INFOGRAPHIC]
More than half of TripAdvisor users say they won't book a hotel if it has no reviews according to research carried out for the company.
The PhoCusWright study reveals TripAdvisor users (87%) feel more confident in their decision when they read the reviews and 98% say they find them 'accurate of the actual experience'.
Additional findings show 59% of users ignore extreme comments and only 5% say they focus on negative reviews.
Travellers also say an appropriate response from hotel management is more likely to make them book (57%), improves their overall impression (84%) and makes them feel the hotel cares (78%).
However, 64% say an aggressive response from the hotel makes them less likely to book.

Interesting to read about travelers not booking unreviwed hotels. We often exploit this gap between when a really nice property opens and the reviews have yet to reach critical mass (which in rapidly-changing environment in Asia, can mean a hotel is not so special any longer).

« Video: Donald Miller's wish list | Main | New abortion study released »
August 27, 2008
Democrats for life and Democrats for choice
I'm about to go into the Democrats for Life event where pro-choice Democrat Bob Tuke & pro-life Democrats Sen. Bob Casey and Rep. Lincoln Davis will speak.
I ran down to the convention center to look for examples for some of the abortion protesters I've seen holding megaphones and posters of bloody babies.
Instead, volunteers for the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice were handing out stickers with the slogan "Pro-Faith, Pro-Family, Pro-Choice!"
I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but their event is almost at the exact same time as the Democrats for Life group.
Photo by Sarah Pulliam for Christianity Today.
I've been to Africa--where I saw babies dying in the dirt; rampant malaria, leprosy and starvation. That experience affected how I now view "The Poor" in the U.S. Most of The Poor in the U.S. have color TV, a roof over their heads and access to free education and Food Stamps. "The Poor" has simply become a war cry for politicians who want more power for themselves. IMHO. One simple answer to abortion: adoption. I have two close family members who had to go out of the country to adopt. We Americans prefer abortion. It is unfathomable to me that there are Christian leaders out there today, like Tony Campolo, Jim Wallis, and that Miller fellow who have figured out ways to justify something like abortion which has to be the most atrocious abomination to the heart of God than anything else I can think of in modern times. It smacks of sheer deception. The condoning of abortion by Christians leaves me speechless. So this is how the Church now beckons the little ones.
Poverty in the US is real. It is relatively less than in other parts of the world, but just because it is doesn't mean that we as Christians don't have a responsibility to help the poor.
Also I find the line that you have used on a bunch post about adoption is a bit strange. There are thousands of children that need adoption in the US. I was a foster parent for kids in our church that needed a place.
Abortion is important. But questioning every Democrat's Christianity seems to be a bit much. Adoption is an option for many abortions. But if you look at the reason for abortions (on the next post) most of it is a direct result of poverty. So poverty makes a difference.
