Chizuk and Idud
CHIZUK and IDUD for Olim not yet Olim respectively
In the U.S. constitution there is a "natural born" citizenship eligibility requirement. In order for one to be able to submit his candidacy to run for the position of president he must be born in the U.S. This means that my children, for example, all born in the U.S. to Canadian parents, would have been eligible to run for president at age 35, had we not made Aliya. German born Henry Kissinger, on the other hand, despite being most capable, would have been ineligible.
A biblical source for this clause, it would seem, could be found in this week's portion (D'varim 17:15) where we read: "From amongst your brethren shall you appoint over you a king. You shall not appoint above yourself a stranger who is not your brother." The Torah Temima quotes the Sifri's brief comment on the words from "amongst your brethren" - "And not from Chutz La'aretz". To this the Torah Temima adds: "He, the king, shall be from Eretz Yisrael, he shall live amongst his brethren, and not in Chutz La'aretz".
The Midrash (Sh'mot Rabba 37:1) says that in ancient times nations would appoint foreign kings (as found for example in Bereishit 36:33). The Midrash comments that in contrast the Jewish people choose their leaders, kings, Kohanim and prophets from within, in keeping with the pasuk from Zechariah (10:4) - PINA MIMENU, YATED MIMENU, KESHET MIL- CHAMA MIMENU - KOL NOGESS YACHDAV. From him (the Jewish people) shall come forth the Pina - king, the Yated - Kohen, the battle bow - military leaders, and from him every ruler together. The Malbim points out, that the Jewish kings and priests must be indigenous leaders and not be political appointees, as was the case when the Greeks and Romans ruled over Eretz Yisrael.
No doubt the Malbim is referring to the likes of King Herod who was appointed by the Roman senate as "king of the Jews". Indeed some point out to the fact that the Gematria of the word "Nochri" ("Ish Nochri") equals "Herod". It seems quite obvious that when a king arises from 'within the ranks' he internalizes and sympathizes with the people's suffering and truly shares in their happiness.
This is why it would be forbidden to choose a foreign ruler even when doing so might seem to be the most logical decision calculated to minimize internal strife.
However, we must ask why would this be so? Do we not witness the extent to which the members of the wonderful Jewish communities of the diaspora are fully abreast of all of Israel's problems and successes? The answer lies in the simple but real difference between those who are full participants in the unfolding of modern Jewish history, as opposed to those who closely follow the events - as spectators.
One cannot choose his own birthplace, but one can choose the birthplace of his children!
Rabbi Yerachmiel Roness, Ramat Shiloh, Beit Shemesh
TORAH THOUGHTS as contributed by Aloh Naaleh members for publication in the Orthodox Union's 'Torah Insights', a weekly Torah publication on Parshat HaShavu'a
[4] Parsha Points to Ponder by Rabbi Dov Lipman - Sho-f'tim
1) Why does the Torah teach the command to have judges in all cities (16:18) right after the command regarding the pilgrimage of the three festivals (16:16-17)?
2) Why does the Torah have to specify that we can carry out capital punishment with three witnesses if it already mentioned that two witnesses are enough (17:6)?
3) Why are the laws of egla arufa, regarding a murdered person found between two cities, taught right in the middle of laws regarding wars (21:1)?

ANDERSON – The Madison County Community Health Center is appealing a decision by the Indiana State Department of Health concerning its ability to receive future grants.
On Dec. 13 the Department of Health notified the Community Health Center that it was forgoing a $226,625 grant each year from the Community Health Center Grant Program and suspending the center from other grants until seven specific operating conditions are met.
The Community Health Center's board of directors has decided to decline meeting any of the conditions imposed by the state board.
"It is regrettable that the ISDH would take such a hard and detrimental position on critical services being provided to the citizenry of Madison County by the Madison County Community Health Centers without a complete and unbiased evaluation," Anthony Malone, CEO of MCCHC, said in a statement.
Malone wrote that MCHCC is appealing the decision with ISDH and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention because of the level of misinformation associated with the decision and its impact.
He said the $226,625 grant conditions have not been violated nor has there been any ISDH review to determine the existence of any defect or violations.
The Health Center maintains ISDH owes them funds from the start of the grant period starting on July 1 through Oct. 15.
"The statement of eligibility for any future grants cannot be commented upon due to the origin of state funds and their designations," Malone said.
The ISDH grant of $226,625 is approximately 3 percent of the Community Health Centers' total budget.
Those seven conditions were:
◆ Dr. Frank Campbell is removed as chief medical officer and holds no future positions at MCCHC.
◆ Anthony Malone is removed from his current position as president and chief executive officer and holds no other positions at MCCHC.
◆ Ariel Sue-Perkins is removed from her current position as director of internal operations and holds no future positions with MCCHC.

a fair amount of discussion on the play of Lawrence Timmons over the first couple of games, as we try to find an answer to the legit question of whether he can successfully be a 1st & 2nd down player, and stuff the run in the tradition of Steeler inside backers.
I had a few late thoughts on this matter...though, as fans not coaches, doesn't matter what we think.
Timmons not beating out Foote last year perhaps suggests a combo of Foote being better than we asshats collectively thought, and Timmons perhaps not being as good.
Couple things I wonder, one leading to the next...
*Could it be that Timmons is more in the mold of Chad Brown, who started inside with the Steelers in '93 & '94, bit undersized, and never really excelled until '96, after the departure of Kevin Greene....which ironically, paved the way out of town for Chad, and onto better sushi for Mrs. Chad...
*Timmons more naturally plays in space....though I would have plenty of anxiety around Timmons setting the edge.
*Moot point though, since no OLB spot is open at the time being.
Other thoughts on Timmons play..

Rise of the Green Machine
Toyota promised me 60. The spec sheet on the 2005 Prius clearly states that the car gets five dozen miles per gallon of gas on city streets. But I'm test-driving a beige hatchback along Sepulveda Boulevard on the outskirts of Los Angeles, and according to the touchscreen on the dash, I'm topping out at 49.7.

Granted, 49.7 miles per gallon is at least twice what all the gas hogs around me are getting. But whenever I hit the accelerator, no matter how gradually, my mileage dips. I must be doing something wrong. I click the screen over to a real-time schematic of the hybrid gas-electric power train. Rolling out of a stop, the car is golf-cart silent while the display shows the 50-kilowatt electric motor providing all the power to the wheels. Once I hit 9 miles per hour, the gas engine takes over, transforming the electric motor into a performance booster that kicks in only when I need some extra juice. The secret to increasing my fuel economy, I realize, is to manipulate the relationship between the two halves of the engine. The more I can use the electric propulsion, the better mileage I'll get.
And that's when I have my eureka moment. There's a sweet spot on the accelerator. When the car hits 40 miles per hour, I coast for a few seconds, letting the gas engine go idle, then use the electricity to maintain my speed by depressing the pedal ever so slightly. My mileage starts to climb - 50.1, 50.4, 50.8.
My ad hoc videogame on the traffic-clogged streets of LA is nothing new to the 120,000 Prius owners in the US. Some fanatics even drive shoeless to be in better touch with the accelerator. For true masters, 50 miles per gallon is a piker's score; they shoot for a consistent 60. When it comes to gas mileage, Prius owners can make TiVo users and Mac addicts seem blas�. A typical newsgroup posting from one of hundreds of customers who frequent fansites like PriusChat.com: "This is the greatest car ever invented!"
Which is pretty much how Toyota feels. The company introduced an environmentally friendly, rather homely car to a niche of pocketbook activists five years ago. Having proved a market, Toyota remodeled the car's body, increased the engine's power, worked out the bugs, and turned a profit. Now it's rolling out phase two of its strategy: bringing hybrids to the masses. "We're at the edge of making the internal combustion engine similar to regular film for a camera," says Ernest Bastien, VP of Toyota's vehicle operations group. Bold words, considering that more than 99 percent of the cars Toyota sold last year had traditional internal combustion engines.
In phase two, Toyota is doubling production to sell 100,000 new Priuses in the US this year. This spring, the company will introduce the Lexus RX 400h, billed as the world's first luxury hybrid, followed by the Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV. And it's considering opening a US manufacturing facility. Toyota has also begun advertising the Prius to the mass market. The company kicked off a TV ad campaign with a $5 million, 60-second spot during the Super Bowl that hit on a few important marketing messages: The Prius is good for Mother Earth, and it doesn't need to be plugged in - a major point of confusion in Middle America. The commercial also confirmed Toyota's role as Detroit antagonist by jabbing the industry for failing to advance the automobile engine in the last 120 years.
Of course, Toyota's not the only company with a hybrid on the market (see "Hybrids Hed2Hed"). Honda has the Civic Hybrid, Accord Hybrid, and Insight. Nissan licensed Toyota's technology for the forthcoming Altima Hybrid. Ford introduced the Escape Hybrid SUV and Chevrolet has the Silverado Hybrid pickup. But Toyota has sold more hybrids than all other automakers combined, and it's the only manufacturer fully embracing the technology's long-term prospects. Other automakers fear that hybrids are too expensive or too complex to augur real change - not the digital camera that even-tually revolutionized that market, to use Bastien's analogy, but rather a niche product like the old-fashioned Polaroid - and that hybrid technology will be supplanted by hydrogen-powered fuel cells.
Which means that if there's going to be a hybrid in every garage come 2020, Toyota must lead the way. It may seem odd that the company poised to overtake General Motors in the next few years as the world's biggest automaker is out to render the traditional internal combustion engine obsolete. But the early success of the Prius is making believers out of Toyota suppliers. Toshiba, for example, recently committed $95 million to build a facility to manufacture hybrid control system microchips. Likewise, Sanyo announced that it will double output of its rechargeable hybrid batteries. For hybrids to become ubiquitous, however, Toyota needs to make a convincing case to drivers from Baltimore to Beijing - not to mention executives in Detroit - that hybrids are neither a stopgap nor a luxury, but affordable, cool, and here to stay.
Who but a tree hugger or a Hollywood politico would pay $20,000 for a four-door hatchback with a puny 1.5-liter engine? Toyota COO Jim Press has heard the question before, and he jumps on it. "How much premium are people paying today for their Hemi V-8?" he asks, referring to the 345-horsepower engine that's an option on the Dodge Ram pickup. The answer: about $1,000. "What do they get out of that? They can go faster from stoplight to stoplight. Why wouldn't they pay for a more fuel-efficient engine that gives you better performance but also saves the planet?"
"Saves the planet"? OK. The EPA classifies the Prius as a Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle. It uses less fuel than the most efficient diesel car and emits 95 percent fewer carcinogens into the atmosphere. So its green cred is irrefutable. But "better performance"?
Ever since General Electric first dabbled unsuccessfully in gas-electric technology in the early 1900s, the knock on hybrids has been that they don't have enough pep. (Engineers of the day couldn't get the cars much past the 35-mph barrier.) That was true of the first Prius, introduced in Japan eight years ago. Like today's version, it had a gas engine and an electric motor linked by a "power split device," a set of gears connecting two power systems to one axle. Each half of the power train can work independently or together, depending on the situation. The battery is recharged by the gas engine, as well as through a process called regenerative braking, in which the car's kinetic energy is converted into juice that's stored in the battery.

Burlington, Vermont - September 29, 2008
The cafeteria at UVM's Harris Millis complex is still all-you-can-eat.
But students are finding it's more aptly described as all-you-can-carry.
"It's a little tougher to get as much food as I want, but it's not a big deal," sophomore Elliott Jenks said. "I can stack them."
This month UVM eliminated trays. It's a trend catching on in schools across the country and across Vermont. UVM is trying it after the success of a one-week test period last year.
"At the end of that time period we had a 42 percent reduction in food waste that we sent to compost at the Intervale, so that was a pretty significant drop," said Melissa Zelazny, the dining services manager at UVM. She says food isn't the only thing saved by getting rid of trays.
"It certainly cuts down on the ware washing, the dish machine, the usage of water and electricity and chemicals," she said. "If you think about a tray that's occupying the conveyor belt in the dish room, it takes up a lot of space. You can only do one in each slot, so it's running constantly. We're estimating potentially 100,000 gallons of water reduction and over 56,000 kilowatt hours of electricity."
Harris-Millis is one of three resident dining facilities at UVM. Together they serve 4000 students a day, so that translates to 4000 trays that don't have to be washed.
"I guess it cuts down on water and washing waste," said freshman Natalie DiBlasio. "And everyone makes it just carrying their plates over so there's no need for trays."
"I think it's a great idea," sophomore Marty Schneider said. "It cuts down on waste, people are less likely to take too much food, and therefore throw away food."
But not everyone thinks it's a great idea.
Basketball player Joey Accaoui says trays made it a lot easier to carry a lot of food.
"It's tough to walk around with all these plates and a lot of my teammates have the same problem," he said. "Especially after practice you have so many drinks and they start piling up. It's not good."
Trays are tucked in a corner and available for anyone who needs one. But UVM expects cutting their use will pay off.
"We do meter this location separately for electricity and for water so we should be able to see what the reduction is from last fall to this fall," Zelazny said.
Cafeterias at Champlain and Middlebury colleges went trayless a year ago.

Svatos pads NHL lead in game-winners
DENVER - Marek Svatos is fast becoming Colorado's newest ice idol. In his third game since moving to the top line, Svatos scored the winning goal in the Avalanche's 4-3 victory against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday before the usual sellout crowd of 18,007 at Pepsi Center.
Svatos leads the NHL with seven game-winning goals and is second among rookies with 18 goals, one behind Washington's Alexander Ovechkin. "Scorers know where to go," Colorado coach Joel Quenneville said. "A lot of it's instincts." Svatos shared the spotlight with a fellow 23-year-old Slovakian, goalie Peter Budaj. "Budaj was the difference in the game," said Colorado's Antti Laaksonen, who scored the game's first goal, his first in 20 games. "(Budaj) stopped them when they had three glorious opportunities in the second period," Quenneville said. Colorado (18-14-3) had lost four of its previous five games. Minnesota (14-16-4) had won two straight. Colorado leads the NHL with 50 first-period goals and led 3-2 after a wild first period. All five goals were scored in the final 7:06 of the period. Colorado twice opened a two-goal advantage before the Wild fought back, the second time with a power-play score. Laaksonen, who played the last four seasons with the Wild, gave the Avalanche a 1-0 lead. Andrew Brunette scored 1:47 later to make it 2-0. Brent Burns scored for the Wild but Brett McLean countered for Colorado for a 3-1 lead, although the goal should not have counted. "It cost us the game, basically," Minnesota's Marian Gaborik said. Replays showed that McLean's shot from an odd angle slid under the side of the goal, not between the post and goalie Dwayne Roloson. "It wasn't really a goal," Quenneville said. "We got a break, and we'll take it. Those eventually even out." Andrei Zyuzin's power-play goal made it 3-2 just 19 seconds before the first period ended. The Wild tied it 3-3 with 8:33 left in the second period on Mikko Koivu's goal. Svatos scored the game-winner 36 seconds into the final period, with linemates Alex Tanguay and Joe Sakic earning assists. "I'm playing with great linemates, so I'll get a lot of opportunities," Svatos said. "Alex and Joe had a great battle behind the net, and Joe gave me a perfect pass." Colorado's Ian Laperriere said Svatos is improving fast. "I like how hard he works," Laperriere said. "He's not a big kid (5-foot-11, 175 pounds) but he hits people and does the dirty work. "Some goal scorers just float around and look for chances to score. Not Marek. He's having a hell of a season." Etc. The teams finish their homeand-home with a game at Minnesota tonight. That will be the second of eight games between the teams this season. . . . Colorado leads the all-time series 15-2-3-2. Minnesota is 1-9-2-0 at Colorado. . . . The Avalanche won't practice Saturday or Sunday but will host Phoenix on Monday. . . . Colorado is 15-6-2 when scoring first this season and 11-2-1 when leading after the first period. . . . Colorado has 456 consecutive sellouts, the longest streak in NHL history.

Dalai Lama Wins 2012 Templeton Prize
The John Templeton Foundation has announced that the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader whose longstanding engagements with multiple dimensions of science and people beyond his religious traditions has made him a global voice for universal ethics, nonviolence, and harmony, has won the 2012 Templeton Prize.
Established in 1972 by financier and philanthropist Sir John Templeton, the prize honors an individual who has made an exceptional contribution to affirming life's spiritual dimension and includes a cash award of more than $1.6 million, making it the largest annual prize given to an individual. Having won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, the Dalai Lama becomes only the second to receive both awards. Mother Teresa was the first recipient of the Templeton Prize, in 1973, six years before she won the Nobel.
For decades, Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth Dalai Lama — a lineage believed by his followers to be the reincarnation of an ancient Buddhist leader who epitomized compassion — has vigorously focused on the connections between the investigative traditions of science and Buddhism as a way to better understand and advance what both disciplines might offer the world. At the core of his teachings — and a cornerstone of his immense popularity — is his encouragement of serious scientific reviews of the power of compassion and its broad potential to address the world's fundamental problems.
In concert with his efforts to achieve peace for his native Tibet, the Dalai Lama has worked to promote cross-cultural understanding with other religions and with disciplines as varied as astrophysics, quantum mechanics, neurobiology, and behavioral science. In 1987, he co-founded the Mind and Life Institute to foster collaborative research between science and Buddhism, and in 2005, after a series of dialogues involving the Dalai Lama, scientists, and scholars, Stanford University became the home of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, which supports rigorous scientific studies of compassion and altruistic behavior.
"With an increasing reliance on technological advances to solve the world's problems, humanity also seeks the assurance that only a spiritual quest can answer," said Templeton Foundation president and chair John M. Templeton, Jr. "The Dalai Lama offers a universal voice of compassion underpinned by a love and respect for spiritually relevant scientific research that centers on every single human being."

Service Planned For Sheldon Allen - UPDATED
A memorial has been planned for long-time community volunteer Sheldon Allen.
Friends and family are invited to gather at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 18 at the Sierra Vista branch of the Santa Clarita Valley Boys and Girls Club, 19425 Stillmore Street in Canyon Country.
Allen died Monday after a long illness. He had been an active volunteer with several charities in town, with the club leading the list. He was named SCV Man of the Year in 1995, served on the board of the local American Red Cross and was once a member of the William S. Hart School Board.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to the club and can be mailed to the above address.
"One of the first people I met was Sheldon Allen and he always had a story or a joke, he was the one person who was going to make you laugh," said Jim Ventress, the Club's Chief Professional Officer. "He could even tell lawyer jokes, because he was an attorney, he had some really good ones."
Often working alongside his wife of 58 years, Pat, the pair worked the Club's annual auction, with Sheldon often the first volunteer on the scene.
"We'd be setting up on Wednesday, back in the days when we did it at CalArts," said Jim Ventress, the club's Chief Professional Officer. "Back then, we had to do everything from scratch, the lights and everything. Sheldon would always be there. Then when everything was done, we'd come in Sunday morning after and there was Sheldon, helping to clean up. You don't see that with many volunteers."
Ventress said Allen's dedication to the club and its "clients," the kids, was unquestionable. He spent more than 20 years serving on the Club's board of directors, working to help open new sites at both the Newhall and Sierra Vista locations.
"He was a caring soul, the kids really mattered to him, Ventress said. "His heart went out to the parents, especially some of our working moms, he understood the Club's role in helping these families."
Sheldon and Pat were recently honored as Volunteers of the Decade by the Club for their contributions that continued even as Sheldon's health became an issue.
Born in Los Angeles, Sheldon grew up in San Fernando, graduating from San Fernando High School in the winter of 1950. He married his high school sweetheart, Pat, in 1951 and the couple had four children, one daughter and three sons. Despite a busy law practice, Sheldon found time to manage his first two sons' Little League Teams.
In 1967, the family moved to Canyon Country, where he joined the Canyon High School Booster Club, serving for 12 years. He also served on the William S. Hart District Board from 1975 to 1978.
In 1982, Sheldon and Pat started volunteering for the SCV Boys and Girls Club auction and Sheldon joined the board in 1985.
The American Red Cross benefited from Sheldon's expertise as well and he became a part of the Red Cross Disaster Team, as well as serving on the Board of Directors for more than six years, two of those as president. He was also a member of the newly-formed Santa Clarita Valley Red Cross Council.
During the holidays, Sheldon and Pat delighted children and adults as they became Mr. and Mrs. Claus, first for the Hot Line fundraiser, then for the Zonta Club's "Rent A Santa" program.
When he was honored as Man of the Year, he said "Receiving this honor of being named Man of the Year has made me work even harder so that I will feel I really deserved it."
A memorial service for Allen will be held at the SCV Boys and Girls Club in July. Arrangements are pending, and will be posted on hometownstation.com when available.

A small cut on a Milledgeville man's leg led to a life-threatening infection.Paul Bales, 67, slipped on a boat dock and fell into Lake Sinclair on May 2."I stepped on a flat rock and slipped. I got up and had a scratch on the back of my leg, it wasn't bleeding, wasn't anything else," said Bales.Bales, an avid golfer, hit the greens the next day, only to pass out."I was on the golf course and my cousin said I started acting very strangely…acting like I was…having a heart attack," he said.Bales didn't know that he contracted deadly flesh-eating bacteria while in the lake. It's the same flesh-eating condition grad student Aimee Copeland has.The retired restaurateur woke up two weeks and three surgeries later in a Macon hospital to learn doctors had amputated just below the knee."My sons were told I was going to die," said Bales. "It was very serious."Bales said that he believes his injury had more to do with how he reacted to his scratch than the water."Don't be scared of the water. If you get a scratch, get a cut -- take care of it. Just be careful. That's all I can say. Be careful and take care of yourself," said Bales.Bales is still in therapy and is waiting to be fitted for his prosthesis, which can't happen until his wounds have healed.

IRVING — Irving's planned $250 million entertainment center in Las Colinas cleared a big hurdle on Monday.
A Dallas judge granted the city's request for the sale of $200 million in bonds for the project.
The entertainment complex will consist of a large concert hall, an amphitheater, restaurants, and a boutique hotel.
Opponents argued in court that the projected revenues for the center are inflated, and that taxpayers will get stuck with the tab.
The judge disagreed.
"It means we are one step closer to realizing a very important project that means a lot to the future of our community," said Irving Mayor Herbert Gears. "It's certainly something our leadership has worked on for years and years and years, and we are one step closer to getting that done."
The mayor said he hopes the bonds can be sold before the end of the year, adding that construction will take a couple of years.

I bought two of these accidentally. I don't know…
Price Paid: $35.95
I bought two of these accidentally. I don't know if the retailer made the mistake or me but I am glad for the error.
I have five kids ranging in ages from 3-12. The 12 yr old is too old for this but the 3, 5, 7 and 10 yr old all can fit this harness fine. Two makes things faster because of less time spent swapping harnesses. The back padding is fleece which I thought was kinda cheesy but it actually does fine for the kiddos. They shipped two with different color padding so the kids claimed one as their own.
The fleece is kinda grabby so the little ones can't slip out with their narrow hips. The 10 yr old puts his own on just fine (always double check of course). None of them have ever expressed discomfort wearing it and they often hang in it for longer than I would want to in my own harness. The problem is that they forget they are wearing it and run off at the crag with the harness on and forget to leave it for their siblings.
The 10 yr old follows 5.9 sport climbs just fine with it and I like all of its features. The Belay loop is nice and stiff and it has gear loops just like dad's. I can't think of a reason to dislike it yet.
PARENTS: For your littlest climbers use a piece of webbing and make a figure 8 chest harness to keep these top-heavy kids from capsizing in a fall. Though unlikely in toproping, it's still a good idea.

Flying High: Arkansas Wings 17U
After a successful tour of the nation on the EYBL Circuit, the Arkansas Wings 17U finished the summer ranked No. 21 in the Five-Star Top 25.
Following stops in Minnesota, Virginia, Texas and California, the talented 17U program finished 14-6 in pool play, en route to a second place finish in their division. Throughout the pool play period, the Arkansas Wings garnered wins against several of the nation's finest, including the No. 3 ranked CP3 All-Stars, as well as the No. 10 and No. 12-ranked teams in Texas Titans and Mac Irvin Fire, respectively.
After the conclusion of pool play, it was off to the EYBL Finals at Peach Jam. Unfortunately, the Wings did not produce the quality of play that they would have hoped for, finishing with an unsatisfactory record of 2-3. In light of a less-than-stellar Peach Jam performance, head coach Leighton McCrary believes his team had a terrific showing this AAU season.
The team was led through the grueling EYBL schedule by two nationally ranked prospects in Bobby Portis, an Arkansas-commit, and Moses Kingsley, an elite-level shot-blocker.
Portis, a future Razorback, is a versatile 6-9 forward who posted averages of 11.8 points and 7.4 rebounds per contest for his team at Peach Jam. Kingsley was the defensive leader of the team and led Peach Jam in blocks with 4 per game.
Coach McCrary praised both Portis and Kingsley's leadership qualities, saying: "[They're] the type(s) of kids everybody wants to coach." While Portis is scheduled to arrive in Little Rock, Arkansas in Fall 2013, Kingsley is one of the nation's most sought-after recruits, holding offers from Florida, Louisville, Memphis and of course, in-state Arkansas.
With another superb season for the Arkansas Wings program, coach McCrary believes next year's 17U team has the potential to be even better, and perhaps a force to be reckoned with.

The City of Wynne will pay $150,000 to 24 uniformed police officers as it settles a federal lawsuit that alleged the workers didn't receive pay for all the overtime they worked.
The U.S. Department of Labor said Thursday that, under a court agreement, the city will pay the money and pledge to comply with wage and hour laws.
The government said Wynne didn't pay for all overtime worked, including premiums for officers who worked more than 86 hours in a two-week period. The Labor Department also criticized Wynne's record-keeping.
The agreement still must be approved by a judge.
Under federal law, fire and police departments can establish non-traditional work periods and have overtime start after a certain number of hours. Employers are required to keep accurate payroll records.

Today "challah" refers to the bread eaten on Shabbat and holidays. Originally "challah" refered to the small piece of dough that was set aside for the kohen (priest) when making bread (Numbers 15:20). Today Jewish women bless, separate and burn a small piece of dough when making bread in remembrance of the portion given to God (through the Temple priests) in ancient times. This ritual reminds us that sustenance ultimately comes from God and transforms baking bread into a spiritual act.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: 2 hours
Here's How:
- Use a challah recipe (see links below) to make dough for challah loaves.
- When the dough is ready to be shaped into loaves, say the following blessing: Baruch Ata A-Do-Nay Elo-haynu Melech HaOlam Asher Kidishanu B'Mitzvotav V'Tziyvanu L'Hafrish Challah. (Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the Universe, Who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to separate Challah).
- Immediately after saying the blessing, pinch off a piece of dough, approximately the size of an olive or one ounce, and say: harai zeh challah (this is challah).
- Then wrap the separated piece of dough in foil and burn it in the oven. The separated piece of challah should be burned so that it is no longer usable.

|Jags' Barnes gave police 2 versions of car crash
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 10 October 2007 15:26
Barnes initially called police around 6:30 a.m. on Sept. 29 and said he crashed into a tree after falling asleep while driving to a mandatory treatment session. Four hours later, after police arrived at the scene and found Barnes gone, the player called back to report his 2007 Mercedes stolen.
When an officer told Barnes he had listened to the original 911 call, the player decided to stick with his original story, according to the supplemental report.
Barnes, already on probation for a drunken driving charge last November, was cited for careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. He also was charged with violating a provision of his probation that limited his driving to work purposes.
Barnes wasn't charged with filing a false police report because he backed off the stolen car claim before it was written.
Barnes refused to address the supplemental report Wednesday. Coach Jack Del Rio also declined several questions about the incident.
``The bottom line is I don't have anything to add to the situation,'' Del Rio said. ``He has got to deal with his situation individually. He's got some citations that he has to deal with.''
Asked whether he thought the NFL might get involved now, Del Rio responded, ``I would be shocked if they would be concerned about a citation.''
Barnes is scheduled to appear in court on the traffic charges Oct. 30.
After Barnes was arrested last November, he made an obscenity-laced rant about racist police in Jacksonville and playing in a hick town. He apologized for those remarks, saying they were brought on by the stress of his arrest, and was benched for a game.
He pleaded no contest in July to the charge, was sentenced to six months' probation and had restrictions placed on his driver's license.

First of all, some music to accompany this post.
The most unexpectedly awesome news from the Game Developers Conference has arrived. Xbox 360 cult classic Deadly Premonition will be released on the PlayStation 3 with added "Director's Cut" content and Sony Move support.
Deadly Premonition burst on the scene a few years ago as a budget-priced Xbox 360 action-adventure game with a whole lot of heart. It will likely remain one of the most unforgettable games of my career.
I bought the game as something to laugh at. Playing Deadly Premonition meant buying a six-pack, getting some friends together, and passing the controller around. After a while, we started laughing with the game rather than at it, and hung on the every word of the denizens of Greenvale as we rushed to uncover the identity of a serial killer.
If you missed out on Deadly Premonition because you hang on the Sony side, do not pass this up. If you own an Xbox 360, you can still nab a copy on Amazon.

This entry is intended to piggy back off of past blogs regarding draft gems and busts as well as open the discussion as to who has been, in the Panthers sixteen years of existance, the best pick in the history of the franchise. Note that this is regarding the first picks from each year. It should be noted that many of the picks from 2000 til now are still with the team although there may be some departures but their talent level and production cannot be denied. Since then the Panthers have struck gold, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
Players like Dan Morgan, Julius Peppers, Chris Gamble, Thomas Davis and Jon Beason have been very productive while wearing the Panthers uniform. I believe Beason will unseat Peppers as the best overall defensive player in team history once his career is done. Interestingly enough, in the past ten years Carolina has only drafted three players on offense, focusing more on the defensive side of the ball. Perhaps, the offense will get an upgrade with the first pick of this year's draft. So, here we go....
Kerry Collins, QB - (1995) Drafted as the first pick of the franchise with the expectations of leading the Panthers to greatness. Alcohol and off field issues with teammates led to his departure in 1998. Team Stats: 8306 passing yards, 47 TDs and 54 INTs.
Tim Biakabutka, RB - (1996) Drafted 8th overall, Biakabutka never could stay healthy. He played in 50 games over six seasons putting up 3319 yards rushing and 17 TDs. Consider the following: He was the first running back to rush for two TDs of over 60 yards in one game.
Rae Carruth, WR - (1997) No need to go into details about this guy. Currently rotting in prison.
Jason Peter, DT - (1998) Drafted out of Nebraska, Peter had a short career in the pros. In three seasons, he had 83 tackles and 7.5 sacks. Injuries forced him to retire.
Chris Terry, OT - (1999) Terry had an uneventful career (and a short one at that) while in Carolina. Taken in the second round of that year's draft he had little to impact from a draft class that saw Carolina draft Mike Rucker afterwards.
Rashard Anderson, CB - (2000) Recorded only one INT in his tenure and was suspended by the NFL for violating substance abuse policy. He was released soon after.
Dan Morgan, MLB - (2001) Perhaps one of the best players taken first by Carolina, he would later be replaced by Jon Beason after a history of concussion problems and an ankle injury led to his release in 2007. One interesting note about this draft: Kris Jenkins and Steve Smith were both drafted after Morgan so this would be considered probably one of the Panthers best drafts.
Julius Peppers, DE - (2002) No argument about his talent and freakish ability after a stellar career with Carolina. Taken number two overall, he provided awesome play which garnered him multiple double teams but drew criticism for appearing to take plays off. Departed at the end of the 2009 season and signed with the Chicago Bears.
Jordan Gross, OT - (2003) Still a key cog of the offensive line, Gross has been named to three pro bowls and was selected as a first team All-Pro in 2008.
Chris Gamble, CB - (2004) Still a member of the Panthers defense, he was the first rookie in franchise history to start all 16 games. Since his rookie season he has picked off 24 passes.
Thomas Davis, OLB - (2005) A solid DB/LB from Georgia, Davis has played mainly as a weakside linebacker during his pro years. When healthy, he is a force to be reckoned with and having him in a linebacking corps alongside Jon Beason makes the defense scary at times.
DeAngelo Williams, RB - (2006) D-Will has set mark as being the best running back in franchise history. Joined Jonathan Stewart as being the first teammates to rush for 100 yards in a game. One of many players who is a free agent this year.
Jon Beason, MLB - (2007) Beast has left his mark on the league as being one of the best at his position. Three pro bowls first and second team All Pro honors and 540 tackles has him quite possibly being one of the best draft picks in franchise history.
Jonathan Stewart, RB - (2008) The second part of Double Trouble/Smash and Dash whatever you want to call them. Stewart has shown his worth as being an excellent complement to D-Will and when healthy can burn defenses. In 2009, the tandem set a record for being the first teammates to rush for over 1000 yards in a single season. If Williams leaves, he will be the feature back.
Everette Brown, DE - (2009) The jury is still out on the man who was suppose to replace Peppers. He made little impact in his rookie year but showed improvement in 2010.
Jimmy Clausen, QB - (2010) The product from Notre Dame looked like a blessing falling as far as he did in last year's draft. He only one one game and wasn't very productive under center. He had problems holding onto the ball after the snap and seemed to be easily pressured while in the pocket. Caught the ire of Steve Smith during the season when he apologized to Jon Beason for not getting the job done after one game. As it stands, no one really knows (except the Panthers front office and coaching staff) what his future looks like. If a QB is taken in this year's draft, consider Clausen done as a starter.
We will know later today what the future holds for Carolina. Judging by the picks made over the past decade I think its safe to assume we will be alright. Carolina hasn't really had a bust since 2000 though many could make an argument for either Brown or Clausen. So, in closing, what say you Panther Nation? Who do you feel was the team's best first pick?

(cue wild cheering, dancing in the streets, Brian Gionta singing "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead")
So, here we are then. Nine months and nearly thirty fanposts since my
rampant attention-seeking urge to create led me to mock up a 19th Century version of SCH and take the first of many, many cheap-shots at laaarmer. So many amateurish photoshops, so many lousy jokes. All those groundbreaking topics covered: Dave Bolland is a psycho, John Scott isn't very good, Dave Bolland is a psycho, Patrick Kane likes a drink, Dave Bolland is a psycho. And the Recs.. the sweet sweeeeet Recs..mmmmm (eyes glaze over, starts babbling to self until slapped upside the head by a monkey)
Anyway, this will be the last time I do one of these on SCH.. (adopts serious voice) While I sincerely wish Greg the very best of luck and hope that this blog continues to maintain the superb standard already in place, I'm going to be moving lock, stock and barrel (o'monkeys) to the new site. There are several reasons for this, but one stands out above all the rest.
After I had been doing this for a little while, one of the regulars on here (who shall remain nameless for their own protection) e-mailed me to suggest that I strike out on my own website, a la Down Goes Brown. While I was very touched and flattered by this massive compliment (or maybe they just wanted me to go away.. wait a second..) it ain't going to happen.
1) I'm not THAT funny
2) Hell, I'm not even that FUNNY
3) So much of what I have written and amateurishly photoshopped on here has relied, for its comedy, on the amazing cast and crew of this blog. In-jokes and references have abounded. Hell, if I was ever stuck I just had to reach into the big drawer marked "Ammo" and select from files such as "Ahn and her Hammer", "CNS 4 Recs: Tru", "laaarms & The Eggs" or "TMFF". I feel blessed, as a writer, to have such an abundant source of material: the characters and the language: the running gags and shibboleths. Even the douchebags (you know who you are) have played their part. This wouldn't translate to the wider world and I wouldn't want it to. Knowing that, as obscure as I can get, there will be people who understand and appreciate it is priceless.
So, yes, that's the big reason I'm moving this operation. It's my belief that the bulk of this community will shift to the new site and it's there that this shared experience will continue to debate, discuss,brawl, argue, drink, post gifs of people giving the finger, and above all
rec my comments grow.
It has been a huge amount of fun making these silly posts, never, ever seemed like a chore. I've had a great time even when the posts that took the most man-hours of actual work get a "Meh" and ones that I rattled off in an hour get praised to the heavens (important lesson I've learned: Bolland jokes are always a good thing).
And that's what it's all about, for me. It's fun. I'm not seeking to promote myself, or get a foothold into blogging or anything of that sort. I just get a huge kick out of making these things and I get a huge kick from watching people react to them. If they actually enjoy them.. well, that's a bonus.
So, before we get to the jump, I'd like to thank the TOS & Hack for their continued encouragement and support from when I started cluttering up the side of the page with my gibberish. It meant a lot.
I'd also like to thank those who have offered encouragement, suggestion, criticism and the numbers of clinics where I can seek help, both through the comments and e-mail. Big ups, y'all.
Finally, thanks to everyone who has made this place what it is. I hope to see you on the other side..
mmD & the Monkeys
* Bugger. You lot call it "Taps"... oh well.
Once in every Generation..
A book comes along that not only shakes the literary world to it's core, but changes the very nature of how we read. Ulysses, Tropic Of Cancer, Cloud Atlas and now this.. we here at Van-i-Tee Publishing (r) proudly present
We believe that this book marks the culmination of humanity's artistic progress from drawing on cave walls
to now. But don't just take our word for it:
So, what are you waiting for? It's not like there's going to be any Hockey on anyway.
PUNCH LINE: There won't be a Fanpost Section on the new site.

Paul and Elizabeth wed July 20, 2013 in Dallas, Oregon at the beautiful home of Elizabeth's parents. In the days leading up to the wedding ,Elizabeth's father excitedly prepared his home to welcome guests near and far for the celebration of his daughter getting married. The lawn was seeded, flowers were planted, a walkway was placed, and a parking area installed. On the day of the wedding, the ordinary home became an extraordinary setting for a young couple to become husband and wife.
The evening I first met with Paul and Elizabeth they weren't sure about any of their wedding details besides the fact that they were getting married. After visiting for a while and talking about their likes and dislikes, it became clear to me that these two wanted to celebrate their love in a fashion truly unique to them. As the plans developed, fun and unique ideas came to light. Paul loved music so they decided to have a band made up of close college friends play at the wedding. Elizabeth's brother was excited to contribute a home-brewed batch of beer, and neither Paul nor Elizabeth really like cake, so they decided to have pie instead.
As the wedding day arrived, Special Occasions helped transform the backyard into a beautiful ceremony space and reception venue by providing all the necessary rental items we needed. The tables were decorated with blue tablecloths and white napkins – staying true to the colors Elizabeth had wanted. Katie Davis provided beautiful flowers for centerpieces accented with blue and white striped ribbon and Elizabeth's mother made custom photo albums for each table with pictures of both Paul and Elizabeth as young children, growing up and falling in love. A bag of seeds to plant a tree was placed at each table setting as a gift for the guests, made for Paul and Elizabeth by a family member. The final accent was a bowl of hand-picked Oregon raspberries for guests to snack on.
Elizabeth walked down the aisle with her father in the beautiful backyard setting they had created. A short and sweet ceremony was followed by a yummy dinner prepared by Valley Catering, heartfelt toasts which made everyone both laugh and cry and an evening full of games, dancing and sparklers. Julie of Julie Randall Photography perfectly captured the enjoyment and excitement of both the newlywed couple and their guests as they played giant Jenga, enjoyed homemade beer and savored pie made by Blue Raeven Farmstand. The pie even had custom crusts with Paul and Elizabeth's initials (which just so happens to look like the word pie when adding a heart in the middle). As night approached tents were being set up in the yard so friends could stay and celebrate the night away. When saying my last goodbyes and congratulating the new couple I was happy to see guests still enjoying the day Paul and Elizabeth had created since our first meeting of unknowns.Special thanks to Julie Randall for letting me feature her photos on the blog.
I loved working with Paul and Elizabeth because they were so genuine and sweet! And I loved that they shared some of their favorite things with everyone on their wedding day! Thank you so much for letting me share this special day with you.

I'm so in love with your kate spade bag! It's gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Love your bag and shoes!ReplyDelete
Can I have your hair please?! So gorgeous!ReplyDelete

<3, Christina
Was literally just thinking about how I need to venture away from black, white and grey lately, but I love how effortless they are and they just go too well with the season. I guess I'll work on it come spring ;)ReplyDelete
Sam Edelman really needs to make his way into my closet asap...ReplyDelete
Love these oxfords.
Ha! As a scandinavian, I definitely appreciate the concept of a "Scandinavian Rainbow". I've always had an affinity for really bright colors until the last year or two when the neutral bug bit me. I'm enjoying the change, though.ReplyDelete
I love the vibe of this post.
My entire winter wardrobe has consisted of the Scandinavian rainbow as well. I'm thinking, come spring, am I gonna have to start wearing, like... real colors?ReplyDelete
I honestly don't know.
Anyways, you look great and that bag is exquisite. I might just have to get me one.
I love your blog. It's one of the first blogs I look at each day! Your style inspires me, as I, too, am casual and I love grey, black, and white.ReplyDelete
You should do a post with photos of your room and of your wardrobe. Just a fun idea. :)
I'm right there with you on the Scandinavian rainbow. I'm small, a color of pale that shouldn't exist, and ashy blonde. And yep, extremely Danish. So there's not many colors in the rainbow that I can wear that don't make me look a little corpse-y. Black and Greyscale all the way. People don't understand it. I'm way glad you do.ReplyDelete

Colorado Avalanche (7-6-1, 15pts) vs.
Columbus Blue Jackets (9-5-0, 18pts)
Nationwide Arena, Columbus, OH
Friday, November 12, 2010
TV: FSN-OH / WWCD (101.1 / 102.5 fm)
(Dispatch Preview / SportsDirect Preview)
The Jackets get another crack at a team that embarrassed them not two weeks ago. The Avalanche skated the Jackets out of the arena back on October 30th en route to a 5-1 win. Columbus, however, is coming off of a total domination of the St. Louis Blues at Nationwide on Wednesday night. One would hope that the effort can continue into tonight and that the Jackets are looking for some payback. They may be looking for it a bit short-handed, as there are a few minor injuries to some key guys. And, if you're looking for some last minute tickets, click the WFNY Tickets link above to get 'em!

After taking a break from our Horde First kill of Heroic Ragnaros and a few round of clearing SWTOR raids, we are back the finish up Deathwing and to prepare for MoP.
We are looking for skilled dedicated players now, to continue raiding with us weekly and for the future.
If you are interested in applying for either of our raiding teams click this link and fill out our application.
Note: This was written before I race-changed to Tauren as part of a guild event. At this time I was an Undead Priest named Emori.
This fight is incredibly unforgiving. I'm willing to wager that even in encounters where I didn't die first or 'cause' a wipe, I assisted in causing it because I was trying to save my own skin (or bones as the case may be). Basically, it seems like I can focus on myself and getting out of stuff – and let's face it there is a LOT OF STUFF TO STAND IN – or I can try to heal the tanks and other DPS. Everyone is going to take damage occasionally on that phase, and if they don't get any heals, they'll die, and we'll wipe. But if I pay attention to them, I die and we wipe. And if I somehow manage to cast dispel instead of levitate, or penance instead of smiting Rag (yeah, betacha didn't know I did that!), and make it to the meteors, then I am rewarded with not one, but TWO new ways to wipe.
If I get blazing heat, someone will probably die. If I have to handle a meteor while running out of world in flames, someone will probably die. If I have to try and rescue someone from lava, including myself, someone will probably die. If I take a lavabolt thingy from Rag after a trap detonation, someone will probably die. If someone takes an extra seed explosion because we mistime our run, someone will probably die.
This is what heroic Rag feels like to Emori: I sit, in complete silence, face as close to the screen as is comfortable. I don't even blink during most encounters. Because, as I've established, if I blink, someone will probably die. My hands are shaking the entire time, I'm worried in the back of my mind that my mouse is going to short out because it's drenched in sweat (gross! my wife says), and my mind is racing figuring out what spell I have that I haven't used yet because maybe it's the key to saving my sanity – and someone's life – on the encounter. (spoiler: pain suppression is the only healing spell I haven't cast during a heroic Rag encounter) But it doesn't start out that way…
'5 4 3 2 1' There goes the paladin. Shield! That's right Rag. See those WINGS and the orb of protection surrounding him? That's some motherfucking LIGHT coming to beat you down. Yeah, you're going down this time. You may have killed us 439 times in the past week, but no more! Hahaha you haven't even managed to HIT Brastine yet. Hahaha pushover. My shield just wore off on its…WTF. Lucadia why are you at 12% health 5 seconds into the encounter? Penance! PoM! That's your ONE freebie heal Lucadia. NO MORE. OMG how did Xefie get 17 stacks of burning wound? Shield! Penance! GHeal! WTF how did Rapture already proc? 'Taunt, Brastine.' Yessss, Rag, hit my pally friend here, he's squishy. Hahaha you missed aga… Well, not that time. Shield! Penance! GHeal! Another tank swap! 'Crap I pulled him back.' THAT'S RIGHT YOU DID BRASTINE YOU DO THIS EVERY ENCOUNTER STOP HITTING HIM. PoM Shield Penance GHeal.
What? You're casting magma traps Rag? Haven't you learned any new tricks? Ruuuunnn. Trap detonation. OMG SO MUCH DMG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING OUT RAG? PoH PoH PoH Penance PoM. <3 everyone is healthy again!

Relax, breathe, it'll all be over soon. Xefie, wait up. XEFIE. X E F I E. WAIT. WTF I WAS CASTING PENANCE WHY WOULD YOU HEROIC LEAP AWAY HOW DO TAURENS MOVE SO FAST ANYWAY? RUN RUN RUN. Shield! Penance! OMG SO MUCH DMG PoH PoH PoH.

WTF why didn't it cast? Guild achievement toast blocking my mouse pointer WHY DO I CARE ABOUT HEROIC GUN'DRAK I AM DYING.

OMG THE FLOOR IS BURNING I AM DYING WHAT DOES MERUFINA KNOW ABOUT SERVERS ANYWAY WHY DO I LISTEN TO HIM?
'I need heals!' Who is that? IT'S PROBABLY TESIO. NEVER SPEAKS IN VENT EXCEPT TO DEMAND THAT HE SURVIVE STANDING IN SHIT. I KNOW DISPERSION IS OFF CD YOU CAN'T FOOL ME. 'That's right you need heals you bastard but I am casting binding heal as fast as I can (1.35s cast time with my haste), penance is on CD because Brastine and/or Xefie took an unexpected hit, and you have weakened soul already motherfucker. Here, have a renew. FEEL BETTER NOW? Crap I just died.'

'What is a mana pot?'

If Vicious Victor Ortiz wins the fight on September 17th it will be sports biggest upsets ever. He will no doubt be the top guy for a VERY long time. Victor will make his own rules and be a money fight for anyone who wants to fight him. He could pick to fight Khan or Pac, hell even another rematch with Marcos M. His future will be in his own hands. But if he loses then what? Will his stock go down or will Khan want to fight him or Pac? Will he get the big names fights? Everyone knows that if May loses that Pac fight is down the toilet and he can just retire because no one will care to see him fight. That 0 is keeping people interested. But Ortiz is young, how will he keep people interested in seeing him fight if he loses to May?
Depending on how he loses (if he does) will determine his future. If he gives May all he can handle then people will respect him, being beaten by May is nothing to cry about. I like Victor, he has a nice story and I like his cockiness. Its appealing and sales tickets. I am pulling for MJ but I have respect for Victor, I just hope the boxing world does too after Sep 17th. Any thoughts?

He can be the 3rd "man to beat" at Welterweight. He can still fight guys like Khan, Alvarez, Maidana (again), Berto (again), Tweety Bird Bradley, or maybe even Alexander since he's the #2 WBC contender at Welterweight (Im still laughing and looking forward to losing a couple of hours of sleep behind that one). So yes, he has done more than the rest to secure his top spot at Welterweight (under May & Pac), he just needs to do himself a solid by not losing too bad against Mayweather on the 17th.

Once Again, The NCAA Proves Its Stupidity
Posted by William Kristoph
By NoleCC
As usual, the NCAA has proved its stupidity by ejecting a blogger from a Super Regional game between Louisville and Oklahoma State, for "live blogging." According to the NCAA, live blogging is against NCAA policies, so they revoked Brian Bennett's press credentials and ejected him from the stadium. Bennett's editor was quick to drag the 1st Amendment into play, arguing that the policy was not in effect for any other events, and that the press has a right to report the event.
Whether or not this is really a 1st Amendment issue, the NCAA is going out of its way to be morons, yet again. Why ban live blogging? Perhaps the NCAA is worried that instead of fans going to their sponsored websites, they might read a live blog from a local newspaper. That means lost revenue for the NCAA. And, the NCAA doesn't like losing money.
But wait a second, isn't the NCAA supposed to protect players' images? Aren't they supposed to prevent commercializing amateur athletes? Only when it's everybody else, and not the NCAA. If the NCAA wants to do it, by all means, they get to, or at least that's their "policy."
What are your thoughts? Leave some comments.

Pennies add up to dollars. Students at Carpenters Elementary School recently found out just how quickly those "pennies" can multiply into big numbers. The students held a fundraising drive at the school for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, using the organizations Pennies for Patients model.
The elementary school students raised $1,605.54 with their "spare change."
The national program began in 1994 in North Carolina. Participants are encouraged to donate their change everyday for a three-week period to help improve the quality of life for patients with leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma. Nationally, the campaign has raised millions of dollars.
The student council at Carpenters helped spearhead the effort. Students wrote informational paragraphs that could be read with the morning announcements, then collected the change door-to-door during the school day. Fourth-grade students Drew Blair and Will Combs helped collect the coins from individual classrooms each day.
Connie Hood campaign coordinator for school and youth programs for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, was at the school for the announcement of the total raised. She said she was impressed with the efforts of the children. Nationally, the Pennies for Patients goal is $21 million, with $300,000 hoping to come in from Tennessee.

technology ruins romance
The thing about technology is that as much as it connects, it gives people a new sense of loneliness. Despite the many ways you can be reached -text, call, chat, line, facebook, that one person you long to reach out to you still decides not to. And when he does, it only makes you realize how much he prefers to connect to you in this less effective way -impersonal, unintimate. Instead of giving you what you really need all along. #foreveralone
In this time when technology has decreased amount of time wasted on boredom, it has just as well significantly decreased time spent on reminiscing memories, thinking of loved ones, self discovery and finding out the best way to live a meaningful life. Time has grown to be too precious a commodity people rarely realize the value of a moment shared together.
But in the end technology is not the culprit and this entry is just a mere reflection of my bitterness as I am once again rejected for reasons beyond my understanding. In the end, it is fine not to talk about these things as it may be the end of us when we find that we do not put the same weigts of value to the dates and events. Let's veer away from confronting the truth that you have hurt me and it pains me to not understand at all the reasons you have.
Go on and choose technology over me but this I tell you. No techolnology will give you as much time as I can when I say always. No technology can promise you forever.
