Girard students meet 'Women of Distinction'
- Written by Nathaniel Lee
- Published in News Headlines
Young students of Girard College had an opportunity to meet accomplished women who have made their mark in their chosen professions during the third Women of Distinction Career day held at the college on Wednesday.
According to materials released by the college, "the Career Day Workshop is held to expose 11th and 12th grade girls to women of various professions who shared their particular academic experience and offer to support to the girls on future career planning."
This year, the girls were honored with a visit from Fox 29 News anchor Sheinelle Jones, attorney Zakiya T. Black and strategist Michelle P. Wilson, all of whom have made a name for themselves in their fields.
Asked about her involvement in the event, Jones credited Linnette Black, a close friend and coordinator of the event, who invited her to the event last year.
"I think the biggest thing is to get those wheels turning in their minds, and to start dreaming about what they want to do and to start dreaming big," said Jones during an interview conducted at the event.
This, according to Jones, is the time for the students to start being proactive about their futures and suggested internships or getting jobs where they could be trained in their desired fields.
"I started out exactly where they are," said Jones when asked how she began her career in broadcast journalism. "I was in 6th grade, a career day and someone came in and I said, 'That would be cool.'"
Later, Jones began a series of internships, which she acknowledged as being key to her success.
"You hope that they leave here energized and recharged to get something started, if they haven't already," Jones said. "These girls are already so talented."
Zakiya Black, an attorney at TE Connectivity was also a keynote speaker during the career day event, said that she wanted to help motivate the girls to reach for their dreams.
"It was a lot of fun, most importantly, and it was hard work - and I just had to have a lot of confidence in myself and a great support system," said Black when asked about her career journey.
Black, who has a bachelor's in communication and marketing from the University of Pennsylvania and a Juris Doctor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania, said she had plenty of help from people who believed in her.
"Listen to your inner voice and follow that voice and follow that dream," she advised. "There might be setbacks and journeys on the road to reaching your goal, but as long as you are striving for your goal, you'll get there."
Michelle P. Wilson, a political communications strategist, is a senior advisor to newly elected state representative J.P. Miranda and is also an alumna of Girard College.
"When I started out, writing was always my dream; being an image consultant came later in college," said Wilson who says that she became very involved in her community, eventually becoming a political consultant for elected officials.
"It's amazing to see so many young ladies turn out here at Girard College," Wilson said. "Girard College has a passion, and it goes straight to my heart as a graduate [of Girard College]. I'm just glad to be here."
Ivory Ivuakn, 17, a senior at Girard College said she heard positive things about career day from other students who attended in the past.
Ivuakn, who wants to study neuroscience after graduation, said she was impressed by the event.
Dayzah Watkins, 17, also heard about the event from other students.
"I'm just looking for a great opportunity to meet role models, get internships and further my career," she said.
The Women of Distinction event was sponsored by the Alpha Boule Mentoring Program as a part of their initiative to enhance the lives of young people and has hosted the program since 2007.

Moundsville is taking a step forward into urban planning.
West Virginia University's Department of Public Administration has helped with the initial phase of the project. The plans help communities make decisions on where housing and industry might locate, as well as projected needs like water and sewage.
Cities have to take measures like this in response to a mandate from the West Virginia Legislature for communities to either write or revise existing comprehensive plans by 2014.

At a recent meeting of the state's Criminal Code Evaluation Commis-sion, one of the members described a Class D felony as the kind of crime most people have committed but just hadn't been caught for it.
It was an eyebrow-raising moment, considering he included in his "most people" category the members of the commission — people who represent the state's prosecutors, public defenders, judges, probation officers, prison officials, and the General Assembly.
In a flight of imagination, I scanned the panel of members sitting there and began wondering about their secret criminal history.
In Indiana, a Class D felony is the lowest level of serious crime; it can land you in prison for six months to three years. Here some examples of Class D felony crimes: burglary, battery, cheating at gambling, cruelty to animals, cultivating marijuana, domestic battery, fraud, impersonating a public servant, moving a body from the scene of a death, obstruction of justice, perjury, possession of a sawed-off shotgun, prostitution, and public indecency.
The list goes on and on, but here's just a few more: criminal deviate conduct, dispensing of material harmful to minors, disposing of a dead animal, driving while intoxicated, exploiting an endangered adult, failure to warn of a communicable disease, illegal possession of a vehicle identification number, invasion of privacy, stalking, strangulation, prescription fraud, and tampering with an odometer.
There are some drug possession crimes on the list, too, including possession of more than 30 grams of marijuana, about 1 ounce.
My flight of imagination didn't last long. The commission member's statement was meant to emphasize a point (I think) about proportionate punishment, rather than to implicate his colleagues.
The commission was created in 2009 to take a deep look at the state's criminal code — which lays out the standards for crime and punishment in Indiana — and figure out what needs to be kept and what can be tossed. Since it was last revised in 1977, the General Assembly has been adding to it and altering it — often, as legislators themselves say, without considering the escalating costs of locking up more offenders or making sure there were like penalties for like crimes.

|Allen County Cattlemen receive fair award
|Wednesday, December 04, 2013 9:00 PM
Information submitted
ALLEN COUNTY — The Allen County Cattlemen's Association was honored recently at the Allen County Fairs' annual meeting as the "2013 Fair Supporter of the Year."
The cattlemen have been longtime fair supporters providing help to build facilities, provide scholarships, sponsor shows and provide premium monies to a variety of beef classes and exhibitors. The association annually doubles the premiums on the fair's carcass show held following the fair—a great tradition for exhibitors and the public. They have sponsored the rate of gain for Jr. Fair exhibitors for 30-plus years.
"The Allen County Cattlemen have been one of the greatest supporters of the fair. They have provided the resources to improve the facilities, programming and give the youth an added incentive to do well at the fair," said General Manager David Grimm in making the announcement.
Cattlemen's president Joe Sanders of Harrod said they were delighted to receive the award and thanked the fair board and members present.
The cattlemen's association was began in 1938. It was started to provide management help in raising cattle and many years later became a vehicle for beef promotion. The cattlemen generate most of their money at the annual fair where they sell the ever popular rib eye and hamburger.
In other annual meeting news, Dwain Holt was elected to the board of directors through an at-large position. Other board members re-elected include Brad Hoy, Clyde Ditto, Dennis Scott, Gary Kramer, Robert Phillips and Joe Swaney.
The board recently elected officers for 2014. They include: President Dan Kimmet, Vice President Dwain Metzger, Treasurer Shelly Reiff and Secretary David Grimm.
The Allen County Agricultural Society is the manager of the annual Allen County Fair and fairgrounds. The Fair is the largest event that happens in west central Ohio each summer and attracts approximately 170,000 people in late August. The 2014 Fair will be held Aug. 15-23.
The Fair is one of many events held at the grounds, which provides an economic impact of $25 million each year to the economy of Allen County and nearby communities.

Joshua's graduation quilt
As Joshua got close to finishing his GED exams, I asked him what fabrics and colors he would like in his graduation quilt, because of COURSE he needed a quilt for graduation! He really liked a fabric I used to cover the back of a chair (I don't much like the chair so wanted to cover it up), so that became the "base" fabric. And Joshua loves what I do, and he loves color (I tie-dyed them Grateful-Dead-style fabric for a kitchen valance), so I put together big prints for the diamonds and small semi-solid-ish-look for the sashings. At first I thought I'd go totally random, and it looks like a mish-mosh. Then I hit on doing rainbow in the sashings, and it worked!
My initial idea was to do random large blocks, but I wasn't certain it would look good. So I hit on the Kaffe Fassett inspired diamonds. THEN I took the leftovers and made the back (or the other front?):
Then I asked Joshua to wrap up in the quilt:
And then I asked them both to wrap up in it:
And here's Ashley looking like a very colorfil Cousin It:
And then Joshua couldn't resist the tempation….
So that's Joshua's graduation quilt, and he even got it not-too-late!

A number of things jump out at Colts fans "in the know" regarding Defensive End in Indianapolis. First, it is easily one of the most important positions in a cover-2 defensive scheme, as players at this position hold the greatest level of responsibility in generating a pass rush. Second, injuries to our defensive ends over the past three seasons have severely limited the team's ability to continue generating pressure on opposing quarterbacks, and a lack of depth at the position leaves the Colts in a sensitive position. Third, with the release of Raheem Brock, the most experienced and dynamic of the Colts defensive lineman, along with the gradual aging of tandem Pro Bowlers Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, infusing some young blood seems like an absolute certainty in the upcoming draft.
What will surprise many fans, even the most avid and informed, is that the Colts have done some scouting homework during the season that has landed them potential replacements and potentially a greater level of depth at the position than it has had in some time.
Two players have a great deal of potential in the defensive tackle/defensive end roll to not only replace Raheem Brock, but possibly push Keyunta Dawson off of the roster altogether.
via www.colts.com
The first player, John Gill, is someone the Colts showed interest in prior to the 2009 NFL Draft but could not acquire until well into the pre-season. Once acquired, Gill played both defensive tackle and defensive end in the final pre-season game and found his way onto the practice squad, where he would stay throughout the entire regular season. It seems clear that the Colts have are interested in his development and that he is a prospect to fill the hybrid defensive tackle-defensive end position vacated by Brock.
via www.canada.com
The second player is new to the Colts but not to professional football, having played the entire 2009 season in the CFL, earning the defensive player of the year award. As a defensive end for the Roughriders (former home of Kenton Keith), John Chick tallied 32 tackles, 11 sacks, forced two fumbles, and added two special teams tackles. At 6'4" Chick would fall in line with the Colts stated desire to get bigger on both lines but he is only listed at 248 pounds (a weight I find highly suspect when I look at him on tape). He is tall enough and aware enough to knock down passes, fast enough to turn the corner on tackles, strong enough to bull rush, and aware enough of the ball to work back inside. Don't be surprised if you hear more about him as training camp and pre-season roll around.
If you add to the mix defensive tackle Eric Foster, who spent some time outside during the year, J.D. Skolnitsky, who was added to the roster at the end of the season, and Mitch King (YOU DECIDE 2009), who will likely have the physical skills and prior experience to play inside and outside on the Colts defensive line... and you start to see the defensive end position in a different light.
Honestly, I started the off-season with the feelings that the Colts would use their first round pick to draft a defensive end, and liked Brandon Graham of Michigan to be the possible pick. Now, though, I feel like the position isn't as weak as I previously thought and feel that Polian and Company are in a position to pick BPA with the thirty-first pick and not worry about drastic consequences to depth along the defensive line.

Alpharetta City Council tentatively added $880,000 to its budget to resurface sections of 19 more streets that are deemed to be in the worst shape in the city, excluding the streets funded by the original $1.5 million approved in the Fiscal Year 2013 budget.
The Georgia Department of Transportation would provde $380,000 of the funding in its Local Maintenance & Improvement Grant program. Alpharetta would spend $500,000 as a match to get the grant.
The City Council has to approve the funding in its mid-year budget adjustment and ordinance, which had its first reading Monday night.
A second reading, which City Administrator James Drinkard said is set to be held on Feb. 25, has to be approved for the funds to be budgeted and spent.
The Engineering and Public Works Department rates all city streets in its maintenance program on a 1-100 scale:
1-40 = bad;
41-70 = poor;
71-85 = fair;
86-100 = good.
All of the streets picked in this funding are considered in "bad" condition. None of the roads first added to the milling and resurfacing program for the fiscal year scored better than a 35.
The following streets are included in this funding request:
- Windward Parkway (Camp Creek to Big Creek; 36 rating)
- Waters Glen Way (Waters Rd to cul-de-sac; 36 rating)
- Welwyn Walk (Sandridge Ct to cul-de-sac; 36 rating)
- Windham Way (Tuxford Dr to 10875 Windham Way; 36 rating)
- Guardsman Court (Kingsmark Trail to cul-de-sac; 36 rating)
- Laurens Oak Court (Waters Cove Way to cul-de-sac; 37 rating)
- Waters Ridge Drive (Waters Rd to cul-de-sac; 37 rating)
- Pinchon Place (Kingsmark Trail to cul-de-sac; 38 rating)
- Hopewell Plantation Dr (Cogburn Rd to Penn Oak Ct; 37 rating)

- Varina Way (Sandridge Ct to cul-de-sac; 39 rating)
- Merroway Court (Cranchester Way to cul-de-sac; 39 rating)
- Fairleaf Court (Sugar Valley Trail to cul-de-sac; 39 rating)
- Lansburgh Turn (Sugar Valley Trail to cul-de-sac; 40 rating)
- Kingsmark Trail (Centennial Dr to cul-de-sac; 40 rating)
- Harbour Point (Harbour Ridge Dr to end; 41 rating)
- Sophia Cove (Centennial Dr to cul-de-sac; 41 rating)

If there is one place bankers should be able to let down their guard a little, you would think it would be at the World Economic Forum in Davos, an exclusive gathering of 2,500 of the globe's financial and corporate elite.
Yet even here top banking executives found themselves on the defensive. It's a reflection of how big banks - blamed by some politicians and the public for the 2007 financial crisis and the resulting Great Recession - are still grappling with pressure from recent scandals and moves toward increasingly complex regulation.
During a panel discussion on global finance at the forum, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon criticised the "huge misinformation" about the risks actually posed by banks.
He and other top bankers at the discussion, including UBS chairman Axel Weber, found themselves stressing that that banks play an essential role in making economies grow - by lending to businesses so they can invest and expand.
"Banks continue to lend and grow and expand, finance is a critical part of the how the economy is run," he said at an all-star panel where he was challenged both by a top International Monetary Fund official and a hedge fund manager, whose firm is a client of Dimon's bank.
"Everyone I know is trying to do a very good job for their clients," Dimon said.
There have been plenty of negative headlines and investigations over the last year that show banking in a far harsher light: Several top banks are under investigation for rigging key interest rates, HSBC has been fined for allowing money-laundering and Standard Chartered has been penalized for dealing with Iran. Even Dimon's own bank has suffered an embarrassing $6 billion trading loss on complex derivatives.
All of which has only given ammunition to the critics who say banks are too loosely regulated, too unethical and still so large that their collapse would threaten the economy.
Governments and regulators have moved to clamp down on banks and their risky practices since 2007. In the United States, legislation known as Dodd-Frank seeks to avoid taxpayer-funded bailouts of banks by barring them from engaging in risky trading on their own account. The European Union is considering proposals to have banks separate their riskier investment banking operations from the rest of their business. Meanwhile, the British government is moving toward a different proposal to require banks to "ring-fence" their retail banking within their organization.
Beyond that, banks are also being required to hold more financial padding against possible losses through an international agreement known as Basel III.
However, the push to regulate leaves many dissatisfied. Critics of the banking industry claim that some of the new measures - such as requirements to hold capital buffers against losses - were in fact around ahead of the 2007 crisis but were ineffective as banks found ways around them.
Banks themselves agree that the capital measures are needed, but they are concerned that, because these new rules are often being imposed on a national or regional basis, they can overlap for banks that do business in more than one country. And there is no one global standard that would level the playing field, and prevent banks from simply moving their operations to places that allowed high-risk practices.
Plus the increased costs involved in following the new rules will hit profits and could even shrink the availability of credit.
To add to the mix, the Basel III rules, which have been accepted by both bank critics and bankers, will not come into effect until 2019.
That sense of dissatisfaction about the state of banks and the attempts to regulate them burst through during the Davos global finance panel.
Min Zhu, the deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said the banking industry was "still too big" compared to the size of the global economy. Min also warned that other financial organizations, such as hedge funds, are playing a too-large, too-little regulated role known as "shadow banking" where risky practices that could cause a crisis remain beyond a regulator's reach.
"All the debate going on, and the financial sector has not changed very much. We're not safer yet. Five years on, we are still debating whether we have too much or too little regulation," he said.
"I would say the financial sector has a long way to go."
Axel Weber, chairman of Swiss bank UBS and former head of Germany's central bank, added that global regulators "have clearly made up their minds that banks are too big."
Dimon complained about "huge misinformation" about the risks posed by banks and that regulators were casting their net too wide, with too many agencies involved.
"We're trying to do too much too fast," he said. "Everyone thinks it was one thing that sank the system."
One skeptic of capital requirements is Edward J. Kane, a professor of finance at Boston College. He believes that big banks would likely find a way to circumvent them, as they did before the crisis by moving risk to off-balance sheet entities, for example - and still had the power to shape regulation in their interests.
"We were told before the crisis that capital requirements on banks would be the medicine that would prevent us from having crises, but they failed," he told The Associated Press.
A better way to discourage excessive risk-taking, Kane proposes, would be to charge banks a simple premium that reflects what the taxpayer would have to pay in case the bank needs to be bailed out.
"There will always be financial crises," he said. "Regulators are always outgunned, outcoached and playing from behind. What we can try to do is control the incentives and make the crises less deep."

Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to make landfall in Mexico.
Harvey Updyke wants a change of venue and Madison County is one of the requested locations.
Updyke faces several charges for allegedly poisoning the trees at Auburn's Toomer's Corner.
Attorneys for Updyke have filed a motion for a change of venue. The motion requests the court to consider Jefferson County, Madison County, or Mobile County for his upcoming trial.
[Click here to read change of venue request (PDF)]
Through his attorneys, Updyke claims he cannot get a fair trial in Lee County, because its residents are so closely linked to Auburn University.
His attorneys have filed multiple exhibits to back up their claims, including a letter from the University of Alabama banning Updyke from campus.

Today's game was another example of how this off-season needs to be one of the biggest off seasons in Vikings history if we want to be a decent team in any part of the near future. However, there is talent on our roster, especially one of the best running backs in the history of football. Anybody who knows anything about football realizes the Vikings biggest problem is our Quarterback situation, but there are many other holes. The Defense is atrocious with holes at Cornerback, Nose tackle, Outside linebacker, and defensive end (which was exposed today with our obvious lack of pass rush). Jared Allen is past his prime and likely to be playing somewhere other than Minnesota next year, and Everson Griffen could also be leaving, as he has not signed an extension.
There has been much debate on this site about what should go on in the offseason regarding coaching change also, and Bill O'brien has come up. I love that idea and i think he could do a great job. But a major part of what determines the success (or failure) of the next season is the draft. The Vikings will more than likely be drafting no higher than 8th this year, and i want to know what Viking fans think. So here is my question.
Mock Draft #1
Round One, Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M QB - Can you imagine an Offense with Johnny football under center, a decent offensive line in front of him, Cordarelle Patterson and Greg Jennings on either side, and a still elite player in the backfield? makes for a scary offense.
Round Two, Lamarcus Joyner, Florida State CB/S - The depth at this position coming into this draft could mean a good player falling into our lap in the second round, Joyner is a bit undersized but has good ball skills and hits very hard. Also already has chemistry with former Seminole Xavier Rhodes.
Round Three, DaQuan Jones, Penn State DT - Good size for a nose tackle at 6'3 and 300+ pounds, quick first step.
Round Three, D'Anthony Thomas, Oregon RB - Adding another offensive weapon to come in and develop with Manziel. Extremely fast but also undersized.
Mock Draft #2
Round One, Louis Nix III, Notre Dame DT - Great size and athleticism, could step in and become immediate starter on defense depending on how he comes back from knee injury. Even when he was injured he was the best lineman on the field in most games he played in.
Round Two, AJ McCarron, Alabama QB - Tall, athletic, good arm. Some people criticize and say he was gifted with a great o-line and weapons around him to make him look better which is a possibility but he is a winner and it is hard to argue with results
Round Three, Aaron Colvin, Oklahoma CB - Good athlete and ball skills, again depth at position could cause a good player to fall into our laps
Round Three, Kareem Martin, North Carolina DE - Prototypical size for a defensive end and runs a 4.7 40 yard dash. could definitely help with pass rush
Mock Draft #3
Round One, Khalil Mack, Buffalo OLB - Todd McShay mocked Mack to the Vikings last week and although he is a 3-4 OLB I believe he is a good enough talent to be versatile in the defense we run and make an instant impact
Round Two, Gabe Jackson, Mississippi State - Monster on the offensive line that really pushes people around run blocking, may get blown back on a bull rush pass blocking sometimes though.
Round Three, Zach Mettenberger, LSU QB - Tall athletic QB with an ACL injury that drops him from a late first round/early second round pick. Could be major steal in the draft. Strong throwing arm.
Round Three, Daniel McCullers, Tennessee DT - One of the largest college football players in the nation and just the fact that you have to run around him in a challenge for offenses. Does have bad technique occasionally, stands straight up and tries to rely on power gets him pushed around

Copper Hand Magic
Yesterday I had the pleasure of teaching the Copper Hand Map project from my book, Personal Geographies. The class was at Two Hands Paperie in Boulder, Colorado. I love that place and everyone who works there. There is a table in the back of the shop, surrounded by paper/book/printing goodness that seats about 8, so they limit the class size to 6. Nice, to be hanging with six lovelies on a Sunday. Three of them, Amy, Ann and Kim, I knew and was happy to see.

Dear friends
in the world,
A Japanese Festival Illustrates the Story of Isaac.
At this festival, animal sacrifices are also offered. 75 deer are sacrificed, but among them it is believed that there is a deer with its ear split. The deer is considered to be the one God prepared. It could have had some connection with the ram that God prepared and was sacrificed after Isaac was released. Since the ram was caught in the thicket by the horns, the ear might have been split.
In ancient time of
People call this festival "the festival for Misakuchi-god". "Misakuchi"
might be "mi-isaku-chi."
"Mi" means "great," "isaku"
is most likely Isaac (the Hebrew word "Yitzhak"), and
"chi" is something for the end of the word. It seems that the
people of Suwa made Isaac a god, probably by the
influence of idol worshipers.
Currently, people use stuffed animals instead of
performing a real animal sacrifice. Tying a boy along with animal sacrifice
was regarded as savage by people of the Meiji-era (about 100 years ago), and
those customs were discontinued. However, the festival itself still remains.
The Crest of the Imperial House of Japan Is the Same As That Found On the Gate of Jerusalem.
The crest of the Imperial House of Japan is a round mark
in the shape of a flower with 16 petals. The current shape appears as a
chrysanthemum (mum), but scholars say that in ancient times, it appeared
similar to a sunflower. The sunflower appearance is the same as the mark at
Herod's gate in
"Yamabushi" is a
religious man in training unique to
Originally the Jewish phylactery placed on the forehead seems to have come from the forehead "plate" put on the high priest Aaron with a cord (Exodus 28:36-38). It was about 4 centimeters (1.6 inches) in size according to folklore, and some scholars maintain that it was flower-shaped. If so, it was very similar to the shape of the Japanese "tokin" worn by the "yamabushi".
Japanese "Omikoshi" Resembles the Ark of the Covenant.
In the Bible, in First Chronicles, chapter 15, it is
written that David brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord into
When I read these passages, I think; "How well does
this look like the scene of Japanese people carrying our 'omikoshi'
during festivals? The shape of the Japanese 'Omikoshi'
appears similar to the ark of the covenant. Japanese sing and dance in front
of it with shouts, and to the sounds of musical instruments. These are quite
similar to the customs of ancient
Japanese carry the "omikoshi"
on their shoulders with poles - usually two poles. So did the ancient

The Robe of Japanese Priests Resembles the Robe of Israeli Priests.
The Bible says that when David brought up the ark into
The Japanese Shinto priest robe has cords of 20-30
centimeters long (about 10 inches) hung from the corners of the robe. These fringes
are similar to those of the ancient Israelites. Deuteronomy 22:12 says:
Waving the Sheaf of Harvest Is Also the Custom of Japan
The Jews wave a sheaf of their first fruits of grain seven weeks before Shavuot (Pentecost, Leviticus 23:10-11), They also wave a sheaf of plants at Sukkot (the Feast of Booths, Leviticus 23:40). This has been a tradition since the time of Moses. Ancient Israeli priests also waved a plant branch when he sanctifies someone. David said, "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean" [Psalm 51:7(9)]. This is also a traditional Japanese custom.
When a Japanese priest sanctifies someone or something,
he waves a tree branch. Or he waves a "harainusa,"
which is made of a stick and white papers and looks like a plant. Today's
"harainusa" is simplified and made of white
papers that are folded in a zigzag pattern like small lightning bolts, but in
old days it was a plant branch or cereals.
The Structure of the Japanese Shinto Shrine is Similar to God's Tabernacle of Ancient Israel
The inside of God's tabernacle in ancient
In front of a Japanese shrine, there are two statues of lions
known as "komainu" that sit on both sides
of the approach. They are not idols but guards for the shrine. This was also
a custom of ancient
In the early history of
In the Israeli temple, there were two pillars used as a
gate (1 Kings 7:21). And according to Joseph Eidelberg,
in Aramaic language which ancient Israelites used, the word for gate was
"tar'a." This word might have changed
slightly and become the Japanese "torii".
Many Japanese Customs Resemble Those of Ancient Israel
When Japanese people pray in front of the
Golden bell at the entrance of Shinto shrine
Japanese people clap their hands two times when they pray
there. This was, in ancient
Japanese "sumo" wrestlers sow the sumo ring
with salt before they fight. European or American people wonder why they sow
salt. But Rabbi Tokayer wrote that Jews quickly
understand its meaning. Japanese people
offer salt every time they perform a religious offering, This is the same
custom used by the Israelites:
Similar to Judaism, in Japanese Shinto Religion, There Are No Idols
Buddhist temples have idols which are carved in the shape
of Buddha and other gods. However in Japanese Shinto shrines, there are no
Old Japanese Words Have Hebrew Origin
Joseph Eidelberg, a Jew who
once came to
Joseph Eidelberg stated that
this is a beautiful Hebrew expression, if it is supposed that there were some
pronunciation changes throughout history. These words are spelled:
This means: "The beautiful (Goddess). Who will bring
her out? What should we call out (in chorus) to entice her to come?"
This surprisingly fits the situation of the myth.
Similarity Between the Biblical Genealogy and Japanese Mythology
There is a remarkable similarity between the Biblical article
and Japanese mythology. A Japanese scholar points out that the stories around
Ninigi in the Japanese mythology greatly resemble
the stories around Jacob in the Bible.
And in the Japanese mythology, Yamasachi-hiko
married a daughter of the sea god, and bore a child named Ugaya-fukiaezu.
Ugaya-fukiaezu had 4 sons. But his second and third
sons were gone to other places. The forth son is emperor Jinmu
who conquers the
Impurity during Menstruation and Bearing Child
The concept of uncleanness during menstruation and bearing
child has existed in
This remains true even today. There are no sexual
relations, for the days of menstruation and an additional 7 days. Then the
woman goes to the Mikveh, ritual bath. The water of
the Mikveh must be natural water. There are cases
of gathering rainwater and putting it to the Mikveh
bathtub. In case of not having enough natural water, water from faucet is
Japanese "Mizura" and Jewish Peyot
The photo below (left) is a statue of an ancient Japanese
Samurai found in relics of the late 5th century C.E. in
Is it a mere coincidence that this resembles Jewish
"peyot" (payot)
very much, which is also a hair style of hanging the hair in front of the
ears long with some curling (photo right)? "Peyot"
is a unique hair style for Jews and the origin is very old. Leviticus 19:27
of the Bible mentions:
DNA Research on the Japanese and Jews
DNA shows the common ancestry
of the Japanese and Jews
DNA shows the common ancestry of the Japanese and Jews
Recent DNA researches on Y-chromosome showed that about 40 % of the Japanese have DNA of haplogroup D. Y-chromosome DNA is passed from father to son, and is classified according to genetic features into genetic groups called �E/span>haplogroups�Efrom A to T. Only Japanese and Tibetan peoples in the world have haplogroup D at a high frequency. D is rarely found even among the Chinese and Koreans.
According to geneticists, haplogroup D is the compatriot of haplogroup E, which is found in all Jewish groups of the
world. Haplogroups D and E were once one and have the common
origin, as Wikipedia encyclopedia states:
"Along with haplogroup E, D contains the distinctive YAP polymorphism, which indicates their common ancestry.[Haplogroup D (Y-DNA)]
The Pathans in Afghanistan and Pakistan, who are said to be descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, have haplogroup E remarkably. The Uzbekistan Jews, who are also said to be from the Lost Tribes, have haplogroup E at the frequency of 28 %. The Falasha, Ethiopian Jews, have haplogroup E at 50 %. Haplogroup E is found even among those said to be from the Lost Tribes of Israel.
What I call �Israelite Tibetans�Eare the Chiang (Qiang) people (southwest China), the Shinlung (Bnei Menashe, northeast India) and the Karen (Myanmar). They all live near Tibet and speak language of Tibet-Burma language group. Rabbi Eliyahu Avichail of Amishav thinks that these tribes are descendants of the Lost Tribes, because they have many ancient Israeli customs. It is noteworthy that especially 23% of the Chiang people have haplogroup D, which came from the common ancestor with E. The Japanese, having haplogroup D also, are closely related to them.
Rabbi Avichail thinks that these Chiang, Shinlung and Karen were once one and the same tribe, because they all once wandered in China, were persecuted by the Chinese and lost the Torah there, having the same legends and customs. It seems that the origins of the Japanese and these Israelite Tibetans were once the same.
Some people think that especially J was peculiar to original Jews, because about 80% of paternally inherited Cohen families, who are descendants of the High Priest Aaron, belong to J. However, Aaron was a Levite, and J is found among paternal Levites only at a relatively low frequency. The Levites have haplogroup E as other Jews do, and Samaritan Levite priests belong to haplogroup E. For haplogroup E is found in all Jewish groups of the world, E had been a distinctive Jewish haplogroup since before the diaspora of 70 C.E..
Israelites had experienced blood mixing since very early times. The Bible mentions about the exodus from Egypt, "Many other people who were not Israelites went with them" (Exodus 12:38, New Century Version). Moses many times mentioned about foreigners living among his people. They could become Israelites if circumcised and living as Israelites (Exodus 12:48, etc). There were thus some haplogroups found among ancient Israelites.
*Chiang (Qiang, southwest China)
*Bnei Menashe (Shinlung, northeast India)
*Karen (Myanmar)
*Bene Ephraim (South India)
*Beta Israel (Falasha, Ethiopia)
*Bukharan Jews (Persian Jews)
*Igbo Jews (Nigeria)
The Japanese also do not have haplogroup J. It seems that the basic haplogroup of ancient Israelites was haplogroup E or haplogroup DE (ancestor of haplogroups D and E). Today, the Pathans and Uzbekistan Jews, who are the Lost Tribes of Israel living in West Asia or Central Asia, have haplogroup E. While in the East, the Chiang and the Japanese have haplogroup D.
D and E were once one. The Japanese are genetically from the Lost Tribes of Israel.

The trouble with your basic shark movie is that it's never going to live up to the daddy of them all, namely Jaws. An example of pretty much perfect filmmaking, Steven Spielberg's classic blockbuster set a standard that very few have even come close to being mentioned in the same sentence, let alone be directly compared. And considering the amount of shark films that have been made in the last fifteen-or-so years you would have thought there would have been at least one film to break through and offer some competition. Renny Harlin's 1999 thriller Deep Blue Sea offered a straight-up shark adventure without any of the dramatic sub-plots or character-based storytelling of Jaws, and was probably the best example of the genre since 1978′s Jaws 2, which in iself lacked the original's subtleties but was still a decent enough film. So does Shark Night offer up anything new in the way of tension, suspense, thrills or special effects?
The plot (ha!) centres around a group of college students who have gone to the lake house of their friend Sara (Sara Paxton) for a weekend of fun. But fun soon turns to terror when the group become the victims of not just one but several sharks placed in the lake by a couple of locals, who have had the bright idea of filming shark attacks for the ultimate reality footage to put on the internet.
Selling itself as a fun, b-movie in the same vein as Alexandre Aja's Piranha 3-D, Shark Night (or Shark Night 3-D if you have the Blu-ray) is actually a dull, by-the-numbers, sharks-attack-dumb-youngsters film that makes Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus seem like Jaws in comparison. Alright, that analogy may be a little generous but at least Mega Shark… knew what it was and had a sense of humour about it. Shark Night takes itself way too seriously, and pretty much all of the cast don't seem to realise what sort of film they're making. Only Joshua Leonard as Red seems to have a bit of fun in his role and plays it with a bit of a wink at the camera.
The sharks themselves are pretty unconvincing, especially when they're leaping out of the water or coming into contact with any victims. They're better than the shark in Mega Shark… but only just. It seems the animatronic shark used in Jaws is still the best to be seen onscreen – maybe that says something about using CGI instead of an actual psysical prop.
As you can tell there really isn't a great deal to recommend in this film. The acting in the main is terrible, the script is laughably bad, the kills happen off camera, the special effects are ropey at best and the overall tone is one of total joylessness, so it makes you wonder what the point of it all is. If you can't even compete with the lesser films of the genre – like Open Water or The Reef, which both had their faults but at least they tried and were entertaining on a certain level – then really, what is the point? Avoid.

Yeah, I said it.
Rick Nash is not a power forward.
I read recently that Nash was Columbus' franchise player "by default" and it's hard to argue that point. The 2002 draft, though it produced Nash, Alex Semin, Cam Ward, Duncan Keith, and Joffrey Lupul (underrated and criminally treated by Randy Carlyle in 2010-11) wasn't a great one... the title of "franchise player" was probably unfairly thrust upon him, especially since Columbus has had a horrible time drafting and developing players (why was Ryan Johansen in the NHL last year? Also, to whomever was touting St. Croix being in the NHL next season... see Johansen, and Nino Niederreiter for why even top-5 first rounders-- let alone a ****ing 4th rounder -- might not be ready for the NHL one year removed from the draft. And that's just from last season) That said, I don't think Nash is a top-30 player, but I do think he is a top-20 winger. So, score one for the Rangers. Now that he is a Ranger, I think he is the third best forward behind Marian Gaborik (#1) and Brad Richards (#2). I don't believe -- and sincerely don't hope -- that the Rangers will need him to carry the team as he was expected to in Columbus. Since only my eyes can see the truth, I searched high and low (read: Youtube) for recent games that featured Rick Nash, so I could try to make as fair an assessment as I could about what he will bring to the table as a Ranger. I found three games (thus far), the 2010 Olympic Final, Washington vs. Columbus (12-31-2011), and Columbus vs. Chicago (01-10-2012). Nash was invisible in both the Olympic Final and Chicago game. Obviously a ridiculously small sample size, but I've never seen Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby, Claude Giroux, and rarely even Phil Kessel (call him a p***y if you want, the guy is good) be invisible.
Jeff Carter and Vinny Prospal were the best forwards the Washington game, but as there was no love lost for Carter at that point, the Columbus broadcast team only recognized Prospal (shameful). Nash had a handful of shifts were he tried to generate offense, and tallied one assist on a John Moore goal (on a turnover created by Carter, for which he received no credit from the Columbus broadcasters). What stuck out was where Nash played. On the power play, where he should be using his large frame as a net-front presence, he instead is, again, on the halfboards far from the crease. Nash was blatantly ineffective there. In the final minutes of the game, when Steve Mason leaves the crease for an extra attacker, you would expect the team power forward to be one of the attackers at the net. You would be wrong, as Nash was at the right point. Being -- again -- ineffective.
Rick Nash has great speed. Rick Nash has great hands. Rick Nash is a north-south player. Rick Nash can fight off checks. Rick Nash was not quick. RIck Nash does not have a great mid- to long-range shot, a la Gaborik or Phil Kessel. Rick Nash did not command the puck, as does Crosby, Malkin, or Giroux. Rick Nash did not get his shot off from anywhere, as can Alexander Semin or Ilya Kovalchuk. Rick Nash starts too far away from the crease, so that he has to fight off so many checks that eventually the puck gets knocked away. The way Rick Nash has played the game, at least for the last year, is not how a power forward plays the game.
And for all you Richards-Nash advocates, this guy seems to agree with me
No. 4 = Wonder which line Nash will play on with the Rangers? Most expect him to step in with Brad Richards, a playmaker extraordinaire. My hunch is he'll fit best with Derek Stepan, but – as a guy who sees the Western Conference almost exclusively – I'm not entirely keyed in on Stepan's game. Nash needs the puck to be successful. He doesn't find space in the offensive zone and rip one-timers; he hauls it to net. This will be interesting.
Rick Nash may have been a power forward under Ken Hitchcock. He is not a power forward right now. I am currently watching the Detroit vs. Rangers (03-12-2012) game, and Tomas Holmstrom, on a face-off, drives directly to the net. He doesn't look at anyone but Lundqvist. He does this a number of times. (Random parentheticals: watch this game, and tell me Zuccarello doesn't belong in the NHL; watch this game, and tell me why there needs be enforcers in the NHL.) Rich Nash, for some unknown reason, stays outside the top of the right wing circle. If you watch Rangers games closely, people accuse Gaborik as being a "floater." If setting up in front of the goal crease where you can quickly get a shot off so you nets 40 goals gets you the "floater" label, I'll take that. I've read that since Hitchcock was removed as coach from the Blue Jackets, no coach challenged (read: commanded) Nash to play the game in a manner which would make him a more effective player. Rick Nash did not make his teammates better, and has not carry a team. Nash's pedigree has apparently allowed him the luxury of dictating how he plays. I fully expect this to change under John Tortorella. Say what you want about Tortorella (and I am as quick with praise as I am with criticism with that dude) but he gets the most out of certain players. I believe he can do that with Nash. That means: being the net presence on the power play; not *actually* floating outside the high traffic areas in the offensive zone. As we all know, Tortorella preaches protecting "home plate" in the defensive zone. In the offensive zone, this is where Nash needs to play. Take the shots in the back and all the wear and tear that goes along with it. Crosby does it... so can Nash.
By the by... neither is Bobby Ryan a power forward. Just because a guy is 6'3" and 190+ lbs, that doesn't make him a power forward. I also read somewhere today that Chris Kreider is a power forward.... seriously? James Neal? Sure. Watch him, Jarome Iginla, Jamie Benn, or Shane Doan play. Then tell me if Rick Nash compares as a "power forwards".
Rick Nash is not a power forward. But he can be.
Anyways, I doubt that anyone will read this, what with the new SB layout and issues with the site displaying new comments. Still... let me hear your opinions, and please, if you can, watch the games I described above. Three games is obviously a small sample size, but I'm limiting my commentary on what can be observed by everyone. It's difficult to have a conversation based on conjecture ("he's big, he's a power forward," "I didn't see those games, but I saw one in 2008 and Rick Nash is a power forward," or "the guys on TSN said he's a power forward, so it must be true!") If there are more games out there for our viewing pleasure, you don't have to post the link (I'm not sure if there are rules against that on SB) just the game date, opponent, and website on which you found the game. We're all savvy enough to find it. Except maybe Ricky94. I hear his mind's all addled and whatnot,
- The Hogg
*** Thoughts on the Detroit/Rangers game ***
- Great game. Great ****ing game.
- Brad Richards? Yup.
- Mats Zuccarello, Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Callahan, Brian Boyle, and Mike Rupp (when he was on the ice) all played really well. Great overall team effort this game. I think it's unrealistic to think that the Rangers will play as well this upcoming season as they did last season. That was a "system" team, and they were a well-oiled machine. You switch out half the forward corps to start the season, there are going to be more than a few bumps in the road.
- Stu Bickel played really well. Why didn't he do this in the playoffs?
- Derek Stepan played well. But if you want to talk about "elite playmaker" then you'll want to focus your attention on Gustav Nyquist. There's no comparison.

Determining the Components of Impervious Surfaces in Urban Watersheds
|Research Activity:
|Land Characterization Research
|Two years (FY 2002-2003)
|Cooperative Research:
|U.S. Geological Survey and Environmental Protection Agency for Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
|Janet Tilley
Regional Investigations Team, Eastern Regional Geography
|Study Area:
|One watershed per quadrant of the United States
|Private driveways
|Private roads
|Parking lots
|Federal, State, and county roadways
|Trails and recreation areas
|Natural Outcrops
These samples, the compiled 1-square-mile area, will be used to statistically characterize the relative contribution of each land use category and to validate the component estimates being made from coarser source materials. High-resolution imagery and aerial photographs will be used for this task.
The study area consists of one watershed per quadrant of the United States. The first of the four study areas is located in the Goose Creek watershed of Virginia. The other areas have just been selected: Seattle, Washington, Tampa Florida, and Lincoln, NE.
Before the work continues to the other study areas across the United States, the researchers will complete all three tasks on the first study area. This will ensure that the researchers are achieving the desired objective . Once the initial results have been analyzed, the researchers will discuss these results with colleagues who have interest and expertise in this area of the research process.
Modifications to methodology will be made as appropriate and incorporated into the project to accommodate any missing concepts.
1. Report: A comprehensive report presenting measured components of impervious surfaces will be submitted to the DOT for review. As the research progresses, periodic status reports will be provided to the DOT. Additionally, reports will be submitted to appropriate peer-reviewed journals (due September 2003).
2. Web Site: The Web site will offer information about the project, study areas, progress, participants and contacts, data used, illustrations, and so on (basic information available in summer 2002 and more comprehensive Web site due September 2002).
3. Database: The database will offer access to GIS data utilized for this research (due with metadata September 2003).
4. Miscellaneous Map and Poster Products: These will show the level of impervious surfaces in watershed study areas, with specially featured subwatershed views and detailed illustrations of select areas showing the different categories of impervious surfaces (first in series due summer of 2002).

Does Dennis Miller even have a clue. I would ask the Pope or Buzz Lightyear before I would even take Miller's advice. What a joke!!!

Thanks to Dennis Miller's picks, I just lost $500. FML.
on Jul 5, 2010 at 11:36 am
Sorry, but I respectfully disagree. I've been wagering on horses since the 1960's and have personally attended horse races at over 40 tracks across America and Canada. I've seen the top Triple Crown races, the Breeders Cup......and the lowest ranks of cheap claiming races.
Dennis is one of the most knowledgeable and sincere handicappers I have ever met or followed. I wouldn't think of wagering at the Pleasanton meet without first glancing at this predictions. I always put my own additions and wagering spins on his selections (trifectas, exactas, place backup wagers) and usually find I am holding tickets that are within the ballpark of the final results.
On July 4th he had the winner of The Alamedan, and it was not the favorite. Just looking at my wagers I know I was with him on the winner of the 3rd, influenced by him with my ticket collected in the 4th, with him on the winner of the 5th, with him on a partial cash of a place wager in the 6th, with him on the winner of the 7th, and as mentioned, with him on the winner of the stakes race.
Not an atypical day for Dennis in all the years I've followed him.
Personally I recommend each bettor making their own wagering selections and then compare to Dennis for other thought angles before placing the final wager.
on Jul 8, 2010 at 1:17 pm
His picks are only a guide, just like the free picks in any newspaper. Do your own handicapping before you blame someone for losing money. YOU made the bet, not the person who selected the horse.

Mt. Pleasant senior Michael Kopech is going to pitch in one of the legendary stadiums in baseball history.
Kopech has been selected for the Under Armour All-American game, to be played at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
"I'm sure I will have nerves," said Kopech. "But I am not going to go out there shaking, I'm just trying to take in the whole experience."
This is the 3rd high school All-American team Kopech has been named to.
The game is set to be broadcast at 1:30 on the MLB Network.
"The fact that I get to pitch at Wrigley Field on national TV is unbelievable," said Kopech. "I am speechless, it is going to be great, I am so excited."

Um, yeah, I'm over the number of posts thing. The number of posts you have doesn't make your opinion any more or less valid. Also, you can't have an avatar unless you have 500 posts. So there's that prize for you!

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Governor Rick Snyder is back on a possible collisions course with organized labor, this time over House GOP efforts to repeal the state's prevailing wage act.
House Republicans and Speaker Jase Bolger were successful in convincing the governor to sign the right to week legislation when he said it was a divisive issue that was not on his agenda. Now they are back pushing repeal of the state's long standing prevailing Wage Act that prevents business from paying lower wages for jobs. Labor contends its another anti-union shot from the GOP.
So what will the governor do on this one. Oppose it? Threatened to veto it? Or go along with those Republicans who want it or say it is not on his agenda?
"It's a very divisive issue, so I would say it's not something that we're working on," said Governor Snyder.
The governor did not use the term "not on my agenda"
But Democrat Mark Schuer, who might run against the governor next year, thinks, here we go again.
"There's a problem now. Bills to repeal the state's prevailing wage have been dropped in both the House and Senate. Governor Snyder's statement on that is eerily reminiscent of his statement on right to work," said Schuer.
Schauer wants the governor to publicly denounce the pending legislation and promise to veto it. He argues the democrats will not put up votes on the governor's efforts to raise revenue for the roads, if he doesn't promise that veto.
"What a repeal of prevailing wage is is an invitation to out of state companies to pay workers less. So what needs to happen is that issue needs to be off the table. And we will gladly and enthusiastically come to the table on the road package," said Schuer.
It appears, for the moment, that Senate Republicans are not in agreement with House Republicans on this one, but that was the case with Right to Work and it was eventually passed. is worried that this is deja vue all over again with the governor caught in the middle and union wages hanging in the balance.
