Surroundings or Sovereignty?
No one is immune to it. In other words, we have all done it...and the "we" includes all of humanity (even my atheist and agnostic friends). We have all had our view of God shaped by our surroundings. For some, this has led them to believe there is no God, or at least that there is not enough evidence. I suppose you could say it (meaning our surroundings shaping our view of God) is only natural... However, since when has the Bible ever called us to do what comes naturally? Granted, this sermon does not seek to address those who are atheist or agnostic directly, but it does still touch on a truth: There comes a time in life where you have to choose if the surroundings you have faced and your experiences are going to shape your view of God...or if you will allow the sovereign God of the Bible to shape your responses and actions.

A Royal Legacy
At the end of the book of Ruth we are amazed to find out that the wonderful way God brought Ruth and Boaz together becomes a great blessing to God's people Israel in a few generations. God's grace is amazing and His love endures from generation to generation!
Our Efforts to Bring About God's Will
Once Naomi realized that Baoz, who had showed such kindness and mercy to Ruth and Naomi in Ch. 2, was a kinsman-redeemer, she sprung into action. She instructs Ruth on how to present herself to Boaz to invite marriage. Naomi becomes active in seeking God's blessings in Ruth's life through this custom of a kinsman (levir)- redeemer (goel). This sermon extracts the wisdom we need, the dutiful obedience to which we are called, and the gracious redemption of which we partake. We can learn from Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz about faithful Christian living.

LA CRESCENT, MN (WXOW)—Judy Storlie said it's been hard watching her Aunt Rita Weiland's life change because of Dementia and Alzheimer's.
"It just breaks your heart to think of somebody who can't do everything on her own any more and that she's so bright in so many ways," Judy said.
Judy would travel from La Crescent to La Crosse every day to check in on Rita and make sure she was taking her medicine correctly.
She knew she needed more help when Rita would forget she had already taken her pills.
"She would have three to four days gone from the day before," Judy said. "She would just forget she had taken them. Having the day to day dispenser didn't help because she would be confused."
Daniel Carlson, Home Medical Equipment Coordinator, Mayo Clinic Health System, introduced the family to MedSmart, an electronic pill dispenser.
"What it does is rotates the pills daily into the position so the individual can take them out," Carlson said.
MedSmart can hold up to one month of pills and be programmed to dispense pills six times a day.
"What's going to happen is it will alarm, rotate the pills into place and then in order for them to take the pills life up on the machine and in hand," Carlson said.
If a dose is missed, the machine will call or send a message to a caregiver, like Judy.
"Once in a while she would fall asleep and take her hearing aids out and she wouldn't hear it," Judy said.
Rita loved the machine so much she even named it.
"It was neat because she really did think of it as a person at her house making her take her pills on time," Judy said.
Rita had to move into a nursing home as her disease progressed, but, MedSmart gave her an extra 6 months of independence in her home of 82 years.

August 8, 2002 by Ashley Harper
Shannon Ardel Wilson spent his 17th birthday doing what he loved-- playing basketball at a summer high school camp.
But his day soon took a tragic turn. Shannon died on the court from a rare undetected heart condition.
Since Shannon's death in 1995, Lowndes County has taken measures to prevent future occurrences like this.
"Many athletes in the past have had heart problems at athletic events, but if you have a heart defibrillator, accidents like this might be prevented," said Sheriff Ashley Paulk.
The Sheriff's department has taken the first step in protecting students. They recently donated a much needed heart defibrillator to Lowndes High School.
"We are so large here, we're almost like a community," said Janie McGhin, Health Occupations teacher. "We have needed one of these for so long."
Lowndes county educators say they've wanted the device for several years, but didn't know if they could afford the expense.
"We were trying to figure out how we could get the money to buy a defibrillator, and then this week our principal told us the sheriff's department was going to give us one," said McGhin. "This is a dream come true."
If an athlete does suffer from cardiac problems, the heart defibrillator greatly increases their chance of survival.
"It checks their heart rate very accurately and lets you know if it is beating or if you need to shock them," said Stacey Stewart, LHS football coach.
Lowndes High educators hope they never have to use the defibrillator, but if an unexpected situation does arise, it could play a vital role in saving a life.

Dr. Manuel Isquierdo has withdrawn his name as a finalist from the superintendent position for the San Antonio school district. Here is Isquierdo's letter of withdrawal to SAISD Board President Ed Garza:
Dr. Mr. Garza
I want to thank you and the SAISD board in naming me as loan finalist for the superintendent of San Antonio Independent School District.
I had hoped that my financial situation wouldn't be the focus, that the more important task was finding the right leader. I commend the San Antonio board for taking that initial step with me.
The situation regarding credit card expenses happened five years ago and the intensity of media focus on this issue and my personal finances is distracting attention from the important work that has to happen in San Antonio.
I find it painful to face this negative media focus and criticism again on the issues that were resolved five years ago. Because of this, it will be difficult for me to build the necessary community relationships to begin a successful era of transformation at San Antonio Independent School District. If I am going to fight battles, I want to make sure they are the right battles that make a difference in transforming education in urban communities.
Please accept my withdrawal from candidacy as lone finalist for the superintendent of San Antonio Independent School District.
Manuel L. Isquierdo, Ed.D.
SAISD Board President Ed Garza confirmed the withdrawal to district employees:
SAISD Community:
After nine months of searching, the SAISD board at the Monday April 8th board meeting, voted unanimously (7-0) on naming Dr. Manuel Isquierdo a finalist for the Superintendent position. However, before a final decision was to be made, the board felt it important to seek citizen input and allow for public vetting of the candidate. Over the past week, several media outlets reported on the candidate and background information, with some of the information previously known by the board and some not known.
Dr. Isquierdo visited San Antonio for the day on Thursday to present his experience, vision and qualifications, as well as answer questions from the media. After returning home and consulting with his family, Dr. Isquierdo chose to withdraw his name as finalist. He alerted me of this decision at 2:30 this afternoon, saying that he believed this was in the best interest of all parties involved.
SAISD is fortunate to have a strong interim leader in Dr. Sylvester Perez. Under his leadership, I am confident the district will finish the school year strong and begin preparation for next year. I commend each of you for staying true to our mission during the process and committed to National Model standards by your actions.
Finally, please know the board will continue to work diligently on the selection of the next leader for SAISD. The board is committed in finding a permanent, long-term leader with the experience, character, fortitude and vision to transform SAISD into a National Model Urban School District.
Ed Garza
SAISD Board President

Well, it finally happened. America looks to be slowly joining the growing number of nations that allow same-sex marriage. Now, I'll spare you my regular "it's about damn time" argument, complete with moral positions regarding equal treatment, freedom and the like. Of course I'm ecstatic that President Barack Obama looks to have taken the first step toward softening the official federal stance against marriage for gays and lesbians present in the retrogressive Defence of Marriage Act. By refusing to defend DOMA, Obama is now saying what so many have been for so long -- DOMA is nothing more than legislative gay-bashing that clearly seeks to treat gay Americans differently from straight ones, likely in violation of the equal protection clause in the American Constitution. But my cynicism senses are tingling. Why is Obama doing this now?
Political calculations are tricky. Of course it could be that Obama actually had a change of heart and is now beginning to follow a more progressive stance that, frankly, is pretty commonsensical. It's unquestionable that a couple married in New York State shouldn't be treated differently if they move to California. But why didn't he see that before? From the timing, this has all the looks of a political trap set by Obama and the Democrats.
With his base beleaguered by emboldened conservatives at both the state and federal levels, labour unions and social programs, the core of Democratic Party politics are under siege in many ways for the first time in over 70 years. With Congress budget disagreements in full no-holds-barred demagoguery mode, now is the time to split the new Republican majority. That is what the refusal to defend DOMA is really about.
The 2010 midterm elections changed the balance of power in partisan American politics, but they also changed the balance of power inside the parties. With moderates fleeing the Democratic banner for the Republican one in battleground states all over the union, Tea Party Republicans were the largest beneficiary. Socially retrogressive, fiscally conservative and not lacking in get-up-and-go, they have been asserting themselves in Congress, often to the frustration of the Republican leadership. Obama is betting that he can force out the crazies in the Tea Party caucus in Congress to delegitimize the Republican majority there and draw moderates back to the Democrats.
This is one hell of a gamble. Although polls show that Americans are much more tolerant of homosexuality and homosexual families than ever before, it is by no means certain that this issue will work for Democrats the way that they hope. Thirty-one states have held public referenda on same-sex marriage and it has been defeated every single time. Even solidly Democratic states like California have voted against it.
The real target, in my mind, must be the Tea Party. Obama is betting that Michelle Bachmann and her cronies will overreact to his refusal to defend DOMA and go into full "we're stuck in the 19th Century mode" thus alienating moderates in key states. This is a definite possibility. Just look at Bachmann's recent rant about breast pumps and the nanny state. After the government announced that breast pumps would be considered tax deductible, Bachmann went on TV denouncing "government overreach" and said, "I don't need the government to buy breast pumps." Betraying her complete lack of understanding of government policy and the fact that providing tax deductions is nothing at all like a subsidy, Bachmann hurt both herself and the Tea Party at large. Ordinary Americans just can't get upset about an innocuous decision to add breast pumps to an already long list of tax deductible medical equipment. Obama and the Democrats are betting that gay marriage is equally inoffensive to the majority of Americans. I'm not so sure.
Karl Rove's strategy for George W. Bush's 2008 election was to bring as many reliably Republican evangelical Christians to the polls as possible by encouraging local party organizations to put social issues on the ballot in battleground states, thus driving up Republican turnout. It worked. Now Obama is betting that enough Americans have changed their mind about gay rights that this issue can act as a wedge against a resurgent Republican party and strengthen his own base. Only time will tell, but one thing I'm pretty sure about is that betting on a more tolerant, forward thinking America is an increasingly dubious proposition.

William Shakespeare left no diary.
He inspired no tell-all biographer during his day. He wrote 36 plays (more or less) during a seething period of political convulsion and religious intrigue, but we know neither his politics nor his religion. Was he easy-going Anglican, closet Catholic, flashy atheist, space alien? Will won't tell. This radiant anti-celebrity Englishman eludes us still.
Nashvillian Chris Hassel has puzzled over Shakespeare's poker-faced religion his entire teaching career. Short of outing Shakespeare as heretic, choirboy or druid, Hassel has produced a 455-page dictionary of every religious reference in Shakespeare he can find, more than 1,000 words scrutinized.
"I've never been able to pin him down," says Hassel, who taught Shakespeare 35 years at Vanderbilt until retirement in 2003.

An 83-year-old Marion County man is the second person in the state to die from a national fungal meningitis outbreak.
Florida Department of Health officials on Thursday said that the man, who was not named due to health privacy laws, developed meningitis after he was injected with one of the contaminated lots of steroid medicine from the New England Compounding Center.
A 70-year old man from Marion County died in July, before the discovery of the contaminated medication.
State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong says there have been seven cases of meningitis in Florida so far, with the latest person diagnosed identified as a 48-year-old man from Marion County.
Armstrong says health officials have identified 735 of the 775 people in Florida who received contaminated injections.
Federal health officials said they've tracked down more than 90 percent of the roughly 14,000 people who may have received contaminated steroid shots, urging anyone with early symptoms of potentially deadly meningitis to seek help fast.
Of the 170 people sickened in the outbreak, all but one have a rare fungal meningitis, and 14 have died, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.
One person identified by Michigan health officials received the steroid shot in the ankle and has an infection there. While the biggest concern is for people given the shots for back pain, the CDC said people who received the injections in joints should also be alert to signs of localized infection, including redness, pain, swelling and fever.
More than 50 vials of the steroid produced by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts, the New England Compounding Center, have been found contaminated with some sort of fungus, said Deborah Autor of the Food and Drug Administration. The investigation is continuing into how the contamination could have occurred.
But a Massachusetts official said Thursday that it appears the company violated state law governing how compounding pharmacies are supposed to work. They are not supposed to do large-scale production like a drug manufacturer, but to produce medication for patient-specific prescriptions, said Dr. Madeleine Biondolillo of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
"This organization chose to apparently violate the licensing requirements under which they were allowed to operate," she told reporters Thursday.
The pharmacy has recalled the steroid that was sent to clinics in 23 states, as well as everything else it makes.
Idaho becomes the 11th state to report at least one illness. The others are Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia.

I am trading Mike Conley & DeMarcus Cousins for Stephen Curry & Earl Clark.
My Reasoning:
I feel that my team needs 3s, PTS, and BLKS. Conley is a solid all-around PG, but doesn't score enough and is only really beneficial for his steals. Cousins is a loose-canon and is 5-6 technical fouls away from being eligible to be suspended. With Curry, I would get a lot more 3s and PTS with a good amount of steals. With Clark, I will get some 3s, PTS, REBS, and BLKS. Clark is a gamble, but with Gasol injured and DHoward underperforming, I feel that Clark will be a consistent producer for the remainder of the season.
I welcome all constructive feedback! Help will be extremely appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Just three years ago Memphians complained about the television series "Memphis Beat" being shot almost exclusively in Louisiana.But hard work has paid off for the Memphis and Shelby County Film and Television Commission. Memphis has been named among the top 10 cities for filmmaking by the trade publication Moviemaker Magazine.MORE: Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker in 2014, Big Cities: #9. Memphis
Isn't it amazing how many people in Memphis claim to have been in those blockbuster movies filmed here in 1990s. They'll say that was me passing by Tom Cruise in "The Firm." You know they shot the back of my head in "The Client."Well, for all you wanna bees the chances of being discovered in a Memphis-made movie or TV show just got a whole lot better.As comic genius Mel Brooks once boasted, "It's good to be the king!" Apparently, the last year has been just as euphoric for the recognized "queen" of film and television promotion in Memphis and Shelby County, Linn Sitler. For after some dark days in the last three years, where the Bluff City plummeted from the ranks of moviemaking meccas, the prestigious industry trade publication, MovieMaker Magazine, has chosen Memphis to reclaim bragging rights by being tabbed as No. 9 among the Top 10 cities conducive to filmmaking in 2014. Just like an Oscar winner, Sitler was ready to share the glory of success. She even did it without using any notes."I give credit to everybody. Everybody!," Sitler said. "It's been such a team. Mark Norris, Mayor (A C) Wharton. Mayor (Mark) Luttrell, city council, county commission, Sharon Fox O'Guinn, whose personally handled all of those 361 filming days that helped us to win.""The wonderful thing about Linn is that she always gives credit to everybody else," said Blanchard Tual. "But, like any great team, you have a great leader and she has been at the forefront for 27, 26 years now."With the list being teasingly unveiled one spot at a time, Memphis captured the ninth slot just above San Francisco. Chosen from questionnaires, film commissions across the country were asked to assess issues such as their film readiness, film culture and overall friendliness exhibited with local and visiting film crews. Memphis ascendency to among the elite reflects the "golden age" of 2006 through 2009 when Memphis made Moviemaker's list like clockwork. It hasn't been an easy road back with states like Louisiana, North Carolina and Mississippi luring filmmakers with multi-million dollar incentive deals with couldn't and still can't match. But, under the realistic theory, a bunch of small to medium film projects more than add up to one "big one," Memphis now finds itself back among the video vanguard, simply by looking inward."The hotbed for Black filmmakers, for faith-based films," Sitler said. "I mean we support our gay film festival. We have our ... it's just so incredible what we have here. Plus we have our history."With noted producer Mike Ryan joining the planning team this year at the commission, 2014 shows the times they are a'changin', but, not without one vital constant."I've had many directors over the years that have told me, 'Blanchard, if it weren't for Linn Sitler, we'd probably wouldn't be in Memphis,'" Tual said.Yes, it's good to be "the queen!"

"I think we are behind schedule," he voiced. "We gave one game away that we should have had in our pocket [a 22-17 late-game home loss to Jacksonville]," he said after the Tennessee game. "We are just starting to scratch the surface of how good we can become if we all believe it. I think we'll show up at practice Wednesday with a lot of enthusiasm."
Defensive end Cory Redding said that the Colts are beginning to play with a chip on the shoulders.
"If we were to believe all of the writers and all of the naysayers, we would be 0-5 or 0-7 right now. Nobody picked us to win [the Titans] game. But we don't give a crap about none of that. The men in this locker room are going to fight every week," Redding said.
"We are going to go out there and play great team ball. [The win over the Titans] showed the heart of this team. I am very proud of my teammates."
He added that Indianapolis is capable of pulling a few more surprises.
"Every week is crucial. We have to win whether we are at home or on the road. You have to stack wins in this league to be the team that you want to be in January. And we have to learn how to win on the road. No one said that it was going to be pretty."
Inside linebacker Pat Angerer agrees.
"We've gotten four more wins than everyone thought we would have, so that's good," Angerer said. "We always knew that we could be a good football team. We are getting there. We are still not there yet. But with a little improvement there and there, we can be alright."
Pagano visits coaches Monday -- Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano, who has been undergoing treatments for leukemia since Sept. 26, made an unexpected visit to the team's headquarters Monday.
"Probably shouldn't tell you, but Chuck was in our staff meeting today. He had a great visit with his doctors and his counts were way up. He was feeling good, so he stopped in and was able to sit in the office with his staff and listen to everybody's comments about the game," Arians said.
"I think it was great medicine for him. He's doing extremely well and with his white [cell] count going up now that he's ready for a second round of chemo next week. They'll hit him pretty good next week and hopefully he'll be able to be around a little bit more."
Injury list -- There were no updates on the status of cornerback Vontae Davis (knee) and rookie tight end Coby Fleener (shoulder). Both were hurt Sunday at Tennessee.
"We're still waiting for word on Coby Fleener's shoulder and the MRI coming back on Vontae's knee. We'll know more on Wednesday on both those guys. Those guys were the only new additions [to the team's list of injured players]," Arians said.
"[Defensive tackle] Fili [Moala] and [outside linebacker] Robert [Mathis] hopefully will practice Wednesday. We look forward to having them back out there. [Cornerback] Darius Butler has a chance of [playing Sunday against Miami], so we'll keep our fingers crossed that he's able to go as the week progresses also."
Moala and Mathis are both recovering from knee injuries. Butler has been nursing a sore shoulder.

WILSON, TX (KCBD) – A fire that kindled early Friday morning in Wilson could keep burning for days, according to firefighters.
Smoke could be seen from miles away on Highway 87. That's where a warehouse full of mote bales, what's left after cotton has been processed, caught fire. The mote processing plant, Fiber Brite, in Wilson lost more than three million dollars in damage with the cotton and warehouse combined.
"All of our employees and everything, this is a major blow to us," said Mike Tomlinson, general manager of Fiber Brite.
The Wilson Volunteer Fire Department responded to the plant around 5:30 a.m. with the Slaton Fire Department, to contain the fire.
Mike Tomlinson said employees from the 24 hour plant noticed the mote burning in the early hours of Friday morning, but it was too late. Tomlinson said he estimates a loss of 8,000 to 10,000 bales amounting to millions of dollars. "It will affect the shipments with the people who buy our product," said Tomlinson.
Most of the cotton was pre-sold and would have been made into denim. "We're insured, but you never know how it's going to come out. We just hope for the best and in the past we've always been treated fairly," said Tomlinson.
But this isn't the first time. "The last fire we had was 11 years ago," said Tomlinson.
Tomlinson said it's common for small fires to start in the bales, but this large fire is his worst nightmare. "Motes are typically a trash component in the cotton ginning process. So they're more likely to get a piece of trash in there or something solid that strikes a spark and actually sets a fire," said Tomlinson.
Wilson Volunteer Fire Department said the dry weather and change in wind direction are their main concerns. Firefighters sprayed water around the large warehouse to keep the flames from spreading, because there is nothing else they can do but wait.
"It just burns itself out. There's no way to put it out. There isn't enough water," said Tomlinson, "The more it burns down, the less you have stuff blowing off of it. A real high wind could be disastrous."
Until the fire is completely out, fire officials said they will come and go in shifts watching the fire close and make sure it doesn't spread to the other warehouses.
"With the cold front coming there might be a wind shift change and we're very concerned about that," said Tomlinson.
The fire department said they think the fire will last at least one day. When the fire stops they will burry the cotton in the ground.
We will continue to follow this story and bring you the latest developments.

The criminal destruction of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine has been compounded by de facto desecration of the remains of those killed. The crash site has also been severely contaminated.
Truth is often stranger than fiction. The horrific event over eastern Ukraine, that of a civilian airliner being shot out of the skies by a high altitude Sam 11 missile, seems almost the improbable grist of a thriller novel or a pilot episode of the TV series 24 .
The completely unstatesmanlike attitude of the losing presidential candidate, Prabowo Subianto, in stubbornly refusing to accept the final election result tallied by the General Elections Commission (KPU) earlier this week, will unnecessarily defer the momentum of a new wave of market bullishness about Indonesia's economic outlook.
There is so much dirt unleashed on social media, particularly Twitter, which seems to be taken by all those using it — fake or otherwise — as a guarantor for abuse.
The spate of innovations emerging from the U.S.' Silicon Valley, Beijing's Zhongguancun district, India's Bangalore or any other technology and creative hub — which promotes entrepreneurship, competition and knowledge sharing for innovation — is proof enough of the model's success. Many countries have attempted to replicate Silicon Valley, a dream place for innovators, inventors and tech entrepreneurs.
The 2014 presidential election has gone down in Indonesian history as one of the most riveting political contests we have had since independence. Issues surrounding the election became a hodgepodge of the challenges Indonesia is having and will continue to face.
The two impeachment complaints filed against Philippine President Aquino this week make for disappointing reading: Their premises are premature, their logic strained. They take the self-serving statements of accused plunderers at face value; they trivialize the country's harrowing experience with tyranny.

Another decade has come and gone, so I feel that it is time to look back and decide who has really stood out.
So without further to do, my all-decade team:
Point Guard: Jason Kidd
Shooting Guard: K*be Bryan
Small Foward: LeBron James
Power Forward: Tim Duncan
Center: Shaq
Personally, I thought that those were all pretty obvious. Things get a little harder with the second team.
Point Guard: Allan Iverson
Shooting Guard: Tracy McGrady
Small Forward: Dirk Nowviski
Power Forward: Chris Webber
Center: Kevin Garnett
Third Team:
Point Guard: Steve Nash
Shooting Guard: Ray Allen
Small Forward: Paul Peirce
Power Forward: Rasheed Wallace
Center: yao ming
Moving on, lets see the all defensive team:
Point Guard: Gary Payton
Shooting Guard: Shane Battier
Small Forward: Lebron James
Power Forward: Kevin Garnett
Center: Tim Duncan
Best Players of the 2000s without rings:
Point Guard: Allan Iverson
Shooting Guard: Tracy McGrady
Small Forward: LeBron James (that change very soon, if he does get it, then, well, I dont know who gets this spot)
Power Forward: Dirk
Center: Chis Webber
Best Player without an MVP:
Jason Kidd
Predicted All Decade Team for the next decade:
Point Guard: Tony Parker
Shooting Guard: Brandon Roy
Small Forward: Kevin Durant
Power Forward: Chris Bosh
Center: Dwight Howard
Anyway, do you disagree? Do I have a blatent ommision? If so, who would you pick for these spots?

Protests planned for 'Occupy' anniversary
Organizers say movement has evolved
NEW YORK - It's been one year since Occupy Wall Street began, when hundreds of protesters descended on the nation's financial center and kicked off a nationwide social movement. Organizers plan to mark Monday's anniversary, dubbed "S17," with scores of events and demonstrations.
The main focus is again in New York, where the planned S17 events include a 6 a.m. bike ride in lower Manhattan, a "people's wall" picket line at the New York Stock Exchange, and an anniversary concert featuring Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine.
The S17 gatherings may reunite members of the Occupy movement, which organizers say has evolved into somewhat disparate "affinity groups" focused on specific ideals: a debtor's revolt, a push to "get the money out of politics," a call for a reformed healthcare system.
"Media love to say that Occupy is dead, but the only thing that's really dead is that original encampment model," says Kalle Lasn, the editor-in-chief of Canadian magazine Adbusters. His activist publication hatched the idea for Occupy Wall Street and put out a call for participants back in July 2011.
"It's changed from Occupy Wall Street to Occupy Main Street, in that a whole bunch of little things are happening all around every day," Lasn says.
The movement is using some of its cash stash to fan the flames. An Occupy Wall Street finance group collected $600,000 in tax-deductible donations in just two months last fall. Former group member Pete Dutro told CNNMoney about that $30,000 to $40,000 is left in that general fund, and that many donations are now being sent to specific cities or affinity groups.
Some of Occupy's early organizers remain heavily involved, but for others, life has begun to get in the way.
Mark Bray has spent the year balancing his work as an Occupy spokesman with classes for a history Ph.D. at Rutgers University. He began scaling back his Occupy work this summer as he prepares to leave for a nine-month stint in Spain through the prestigious Fulbright Program.
"The way I looked at it was, these books will still be sitting on the shelf when [Occupy] is done," Bray says of his academic work. "Social movements like this come around so irregularly that I needed to get as much out of it as I could. I'm very happy that's what I've been doing, and now someone else will step in to take my place."
Bray was able to juggle his Fulbright plans in order to attend the S17 events. He leaves for Spain three days later, and beyond that, the future beyond that is unclear. He plans to get involved where he can while abroad, and hopes that the U.S. movement will still be alive whenever he returns.
"We got big before we had done the normal kind of organizing that precedes media organization," Bray says. "When the cameras disappeared, some people got disheartened. One of the challenges has been to get young people involved, and help them understand it has to be a long-term process."
One of those long-termers is Marisa Holmes, 26, who got involved with Occupy Wall Street as an organizer and media liaison from day 1. She says she's more passionate about it than ever before.
"A year ago, planning for September 17, I was balancing Occupy with a life: a full-time job, going to school," Holmes says. "Now, I've scheduled my life around these activities. The movement is my life. It's where I find the most fulfillment."
Holmes has changed her education plans in order to focus more on Occupy. She scaled back her course load at Hunter College, where she is in her second year of classes toward an M.F.A. in integrated media, and hopes to complete the program in another year.
"Nothing's changed in the past year as far as fundamental changes to the economic system, so there is still work to be done," Holmes says. "I was involved last September 17th, I'm involved this September 17th, and I plan on keeping it that way for a lifetime."

Course details
The Marine Corps Marathon, aptly nicknamed the "Marathon of the Monuments," offers exciting changes on the course including a flatter route and new approach to the Capitol. The most notable change in this year's course occurs from Miles 6-9 with runners now traveling north on scenic Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway along roads that are relatively flat. The USATF-certified 26.2 mile marathon course starts in Arlington, VA on Route 110 between Arlington National Cemetery and the Pentagon.
The course moves through Rosslyn along Lee Highway before turning on Spout Run and the George Washington Parkway. Runners will experience a climb on Lee Highway in the first few miles of the course, but are rewarded with a descent along Spout Run and the Parkway.
After crossing Key Bridge into Georgetown between Miles 4 and 5, runners turn right along the renowned M Street where throngs of spectators will cheer them through the most popular area of historic Georgetown. From M Street, MCM runners continue turning right onto Wisconsin Avenue and then left onto K Street, and continue to run on K under the Whitehurst Freeway.
Runners then make a continuous loop turning right onto 27th Street, right onto I Street, right onto Virginia Avenue and finally turn right onto Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, heading north. It's along the Parkway that MCM runners will enjoy running the beautifully tree-lined roadways and under historic stone-covered bridges before making a U-turn at the median located at Beach and Shoreham Drives.
After the U-turn, runners follow the southbound lanes of Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway heading past the impressive Kennedy Center and under the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge. Between Miles 10 and 11, MCM participants travel parallel to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and then bear left onto Ohio Drive while passing under Arlington Memorial Bridge.
Runners remain right of the John Ericsson National Memorial as Ohio Drive meets Independence Avenue and then right onto Ohio Drive entering West Potomac Park along the scenic Potomac River. Runners continue to travel along Ohio Drive and throughout the Hains Point peninsula to the very end of the point, as Ohio Drive continues along the other side of the peninsula adjacent to the East Potomac Golf Course. Runners will depart Hains Point while bearing right along the traffic pattern on Ohio Drive as the roadway splits, and then will turn onto East Basin Drive before making a left onto Maine Avenue.
Throughout Miles 15 and 16, MCM runners will continue all along the scenic Tidal Basin with views of the Jefferson Memorial. Runners will continue on Maine Avenue as it turns onto Independence Avenue and will head west further along the Tidal Basin crossing over the Kutz Bridge. On Independence Avenue, MCM competitors will run by the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial and the FDR Memorial. MCM runners then loop back along Independence Avenue on the side closest to the National Mall and the Korean and WWII Memorials before making a left turn onto 15th Street at the Washington Monument.
MCM runners then continue on the course along the north side of the National Mall, with views of the Smithsonian Institute's National Museum of American History, National Museum of Natural History and the National Art Gallery at Mile 18, before turning left onto 3rd Street. The MCM course then moves runners right onto Constitution Avenue traveling toward the majestic U.S. Capitol and continues to turn them right along the inside of East Capitol Circle and onto 1st Street, with impressive views of the Capitol dome.
Along the National Mall, runners turn right onto South Capitol Circle, right onto Maryland Avenue and then right onto 3rd Street. At this point, runners will turn left onto Jefferson Drive travelling the south side of the National Mall past the Air and Space Museum, the historic carousel, the Smithsonian Castle and the Freer Gallery of Art. Runners then make a left turn onto 14th Street, passing the Holocaust Museum just before they "Beat the Bridge" at Mile 20. From Miles 20 to 21, runners will cross over the 14th Street Bridge and the scenic Potomac River as they head back into Virginia for the last 10K, where the vibrant colors and energy of Crystal City will be on display.
As MCM runners enter into Crystal City, they will travel along Army-Navy Drive turning left onto 12th Street South as it becomes Crystal Drive, enjoying a variety of entertainment along the way. Runners then make a right turn onto 23rd Street South, before turning right again onto South Clark Street, which parallels U.S. Route 1/Jefferson Davis Highway. At this point in the course, participants will incur an incline in the road leading up to the 15th Street overpass and then enjoy a slight descent back onto 12th Street South. From 12th Street South, runners will follow Army-Navy Drive, and turn right onto South Fern Street toward the Pentagon. Continuing on Mile 24, participants will head onto South Rotary Road, and run along the South West side of the Pentagon where, at the building's South Parking lot perimeter, runners will capture views of the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial.
From this point, MCM participants will turn left onto Columbia Pike, make an immediate right onto the Route 27/Washington Boulevard and follow the Boulevard to the Route 110 on ramp. MCM runners then turn right onto the Route 110 access road, heading toward Pentagon North parking, where they continue along the access road bearing right again onto the Route 110 highway. Finally, the MCM course unfurls alongside Arlington National Cemetery then, after turning left onto Marshall Drive, offers a final up-hill challenge to the finish at the access road to the Marine Corps War Memorial and the MCM Finish! MCM goes green!

As America's Traffic Control Leader, Area Wide Protective (AWP) is proud to announce a partnership with the Marine Corps Marathon. AWP will be providing traffic management services and traffic control devices for the Marine Corps Marathon, to take place on October 28, 2014. AWP's support will include the use of 600-700 cones, several fully-equipped trucks, and the professional traffic control services of 20 volunteers from AWP's local facilities in Virginia and Maryland. AWP's corporate team (based in Ohio) is also working with the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Marine Corps to develop temporary traffic control plans for the event that will help ensure the safety of the runners, MCM volunteers and workers, and the general public travelling through the area.
Safety and security has always been the top priority for Marine Corps Marathon organizers and the event's law enforcement partners. All runners and spectators are required to access the start and finish areas through safety check points. Limiting the number of items brought to the start line will greatly reduce the wait time at these inspection points. The MCM-issued bib serves as identification for runners. Prior to arriving at the start area, runners must have the bib visibly fastened to the front of their attire.
Runners are required to use the clear plastic drawstring bag issued at Packet Pick-up for the event-day bag check. Using the clear plastic participant bag will expedite the screening process and help maintain an efficient flow of participants into Runners Village. Backpacks, suitcases or any other type of bag will not be accepted at UPS Drop-off and may not be left unattended. Therefore, if a runner doesn't have a designated support person to maintain possession of this type of baggage or other such possessions, these items should not be brought to the event site.
For marathoners, 10K participants and spectators, glass containers and flammable liquids are prohibited from entering any MCM event location. Runners may continue to bring a supply of fluids. All items are subject to search and add to the volume being screened, possibly resulting in delays and personal inconvenience. The wearing any mask, hood or other device whereby a substantial portion of the face is hidden or covered so as to conceal the identity of the wearer is strictly prohibited.
The MCM Health & Fitness Expo presented by GE is hosted at the DC Armory. All runners are required to present an E-Card in either printed form or on a phone to obtain the official bib. Packet Pick-up will be conducted in a runners-only tent outside the Armory. Safety screening points will be set up outside the Packet Pick-up tent, as well as the main entrance to the Armory. Proxy pick-up remains an available service at the MCM Health & Fitness Expo presented by GE. In order to have a designated individual pick up the packet for a registered runner, the runner must sign his E-Card and provide that individual with a photocopy of their identification card. The proxy will be required to sign the form as well, and show and present a photocopy their own photo identification.
Runners not only are being asked to actively observe their surroundings but to support the procedures put in place to ensure safety of all attending the MCM. Status updates, weather and news alerts will be disseminated during MCM Weekend on the event website, Facebook page and the MCM App. The MCM and its law enforcement partners appreciate the cooperation and patience of runners and spectators.

Boys soccer
CV-S 2, Morris 0 (sept. 7)
Second-half goals by Ben Drugatz and Jordan Manikus lifted defending Section Four Class D champion Cherry Valley-Springfield to a 2-0 victory over visiting Morris on Friday.
Drugatz opened the scoring 4 minutes, 40 seconds after halftime, beating Morris goalie Kerry Smith with a 6-yard shot to the right side off a pass from Manikus.
Wyatt Cowley set up the insurance goal with a liner to Manikus, who found the left side of the net from the 18-yard line.
Smith made 10 saves for the Mustangs, who played the Patriots (3-0, 2-0) to a scoreless tie in the 2011 Tri-Valley League championship game.
Jon French stopped two shots for CV-S.
Milford 4, Laurens 3 (sept. 7)
Blake Elliott converted a penalty kick in the second half to snap a 2-all tie and Elijah Coley followed with another goal as Milford won at home in the Tri-Valley League.
Peyton Griffiths and Michael Strenck also scored for the Wildcats (1-0-1, 1-0-1), who received 10 saves from Parker Fish.
"We went up, 2-0, and they came back and tied the score," Milford coach Frank Spurchise said. "Credit them for that. They came right back and tied it before halftime. That's Laurens. They don't ever give up."
Pheonix Howard, Jerry Soucia and Carter Powers scored for the Leopards (1-1, 1-1), who got 14 saves from David Fraser.
CV-S 3, Laurens 0 (sept. 11)

The holiday season is heating up.
SO much to do.
Shopping, wrapping and that's just for starters.
The last thing you need is to spend hours in the kitchen.
Today on Quick Cooking, Karin Calloway shows you how to fix dinner in a hurry.
Tapas have been the restaurant rage in recent years.
Tapas come from Spain and one of the most popular Spanish tapas is called a Torta- It's an egg and potato dish that's similar to a frittata.
Tortas are simple to prepare and make a great brunch or lunch dish.
The secret to my quick and easy Torta is using packaged potato wedges, which helps get this Torta on the table quickly.
I've begun the recipe by cooking some sliced onion in a little olive oil until caramelized.
In the same skillet, add a little olive oil and cook the potatoes, stirring often, until they begin to brown on both sides.
While the potatoes brown, I'll whisk up some eggs which I'll season with salt and pepper.
Stir the onions into the potatoes and then pour the eggs over the top.
Jiggle the pan to evenly distribute the eggs and then cook until the edges are beginning to brown.
Now just pop it into the stove.
After ten minutes the Torta is read to serve.
Just flip it onto a plate or platter, cut into wedges and serve.
The Torta can be served hot or at room temperature.

Flinn Scholars News
A decade of observing Paris becomes Scholar alum's documentary debut
Ten years ago, when Andrew Shemin ('98) traveled to France for a semester as a Flinn Scholar, one of his independent-study projects involved spending many days in the city parks of Paris, where, notebook in hand, he recorded his observations about how public space contributes to Parisian life. Today, Shemin's new project, a documentary film, provides evidence that his semester in Paris was time well spent.
Full Story:
lived in Paris for much of the past decade.
Ten years ago, when Andrew Shemin ('98) traveled to France for a semester as a Flinn Scholar, one of his independent-study projects involved spending many days in the city parks of Paris, where, notebook in hand, he recorded his observations about how public space contributes to Parisian life.
The project, which at first glance might appear a bit modest in scope, made plenty of sense in the context of Shemin's academic interests as a double major in French and creative writing at the University of Arizona. People-watching in the parks for hour after hour, he was soaking up French culture and gaining valuable insights about human interaction. What he was learning would soon begin emerging in the plays he wrote--some of which would be produced before he completed his undergraduate degrees.
Today, there's new evidence that Shemin's semester in Paris was time well spent. He has lived in Paris for several years now, and while he continues to write for the stage, he has added filmmaking to his repertoire. His newest project is "Postcards from Paris," an hour-long documentary that seems like the direct descendant of those journals from his undergraduate study abroad experience.
In an interview with My French Life, Shemin explains that "Postcards from Paris" is a film in the tradition of the Lumière brothers, early French filmmakers, "who made fascinating one-shot documentary reels of French life," and the contemporary American filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, "who makes unobtrusive documentaries that try to capture reality for the audience [...] without conforming the subject into the frame of an author's larger, preconceived argument."
For viewers whose frame of reference for cinema is standard Hollywood fare, "Postcards from Paris" might be jarring. By design, Shemin's film has little discernible narrative structure, and within each shot, the camera doesn't move, as was the case in the films of the Lumière brothers.
"I think that the later development of editing, camera movements, and so on are great," Shemin explains in an interview with Film Industry Network. "But I feel like filmmaking is so technique-heavy nowadays that you can actually stand out and make yourself heard by doing the opposite: a slow rhythm of images that require the audience to slow their minds down and contemplate in a different way from the fast films we are watching in the theaters and the quick clips on the Internet.
"I want to make an immersive experience in Paris with this film," he adds, "so I think the slow pace of a video slideshow lets the viewer relax and look all over the screen to absorb information and make connections between shots that you might miss if the editing was too fast. It's more like the pace of people watching in a given place, and that can be a very imaginative activity, especially somewhere like Paris."
Shemin has completed shooting footage for "Postcard from Paris," and is now in the middle of a month-long fundraising drive to support the documentary's post-production. One substantial remaining cost is adding music for the film, which, he writes, "is necessary to bring the audience deeper into these images and complete the experience of escaping to Paris for an hour." Shemin's Kickstarter fundraising campaign closes on December 1.

Some of the records we hold go back to the 12th century, but not everything is old. You'll also find items from recent times relating to individuals and a wide range of organisations, such as the County Council, local authorities, churches, chapels, estates, schools, hospitals, businesses, families, clubs and societies. We preserve them all - from parchments to CD-Roms - and keep them safe for when you want to see them.
Latest News
- Cabinet to consider options for the future of Suffolk Record Office
Options for an enhanced Suffolk Record Office service will be considered at Suffolk County Council's Cabinet meeting on 1st July as part of a longer term strategy for preserving, collecting and providing access to the recorded history of the County. Each of the options being presented addresses the projected shortfall in storage capacity within the current record office buildings. In addition, the options shape the way for further heritage services collaboration through shared working with University Campus Suffolk. The papers can be viewed from this page http://committeeminutes.suffolkcc.gov.uk/searchResult.aspx?qry=c_committee~~The%20Cabinet
- Suffolk Record Office Opening Hours Consultation
Suffolk County Council was delighted with the quality and quantity of responses (533) received which demonstrated the interest of users, owners of archives, partners and stakeholders in the future of Suffolk Record Office. The majority of those who responded felt the proposals would bring positive improvement (65.5%). They supported closing one day a week to free resources to improve the online accessibility of catalogue information and digitised materials, welcomed the improved Saturday offer and had no overall objections. The figures indicate that only a small number (28) would experience problems with closing on a Wednesday to refocus resources on modernising the service enabling many more people to make use of and enjoy our collections. Respondees also supported the proposal to open later, although some felt not opening until 10.00 was too late and suggested closing earlier as an alternative. We have listened to their ideas and will therefore be looking to implement opening each branch of the Suffolk Record Office for 35hrs a week from 9.30-16.30, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We anticipate changing to these opening hours by 1st October, following the normal processes, including consulting staff. This includes reintroducing a full archives production service on Saturdays.
