« What's in a Name? | Main | At One Evangelical College, Some Considering Obama »
July 8, 2008
Obama at the AME
Now up on YouTube, Obama's speech to the African Methodist Episcopal Convention in St. Louis Saturday continues the theme of service that he spoke of in his earlier addresses last week. The Fourth of July could not be, he said a "passive celebration," but had to involve "service, and sacrifice and each of us doing our part to leave our children a world that is kinder and more just." And just as that could not be "an idle celebration," so "our faith cannot be an idle faith...It must be an active faith."
Beginning with the importance of helping those in need with the right domestic policies and programs, Obama went on to stress the need for African Americans not to be content with blaming its troubles on racism: "I'm not interested us in adopted the posture of victim.... [W]e cannot use injustice as an excuse. We cannot use poverty as an excuse." His support for faith-based institutions was, he said, "how we match societal responsibility with individual responsibility."
In the current issue of Religion in the News, Steve Warner nicely elucidates this classic black-church synthesis of collective and personal obligation, which cuts across conventional American political categories of left and right. Here Obama makes clear not only how faith-based programs express this synthesis but why they represent the moral core of his campaign.
One might add that the synthesis is not only classically black but also classically Methodist. And it can be found not only in Methodist denominations like the AME Church but also, as a kind of moral undertone, in the public culture of the Midwest. A tip of the hat to Mark Noll for this insight, which he discusses in his chapter in Religion in Public Life in the Midwest and we discuss in the Midwest chapter in One Nation, Divisible.
This article is cross-posted from Spiritual Politics.

I think what Obama says about Independence Day not being just a "passive holiday" is right on. I'm interested to see in what direction he takes his plans for "faith-based initiatives" and how the evangelical community at large responds. Thanks for the great post.
Well now, that indeed seems interesting. Mr. Obama can spin his words quite well, and many of those little bits that he promises to accomplish were we to grant him executive power sound, well, promising. In this case, I wonder what, if anything, he will do in this regard, dealing with faith-based initiatives.
I'd be willing to let him give it a go, though perhaps more out of curiosity than faith in him. Heaven knows he looks a little less on the unsavory side than McCain, though.
From what's presented here, Obama seems to understand the kind of role religion should play in the broader society, moreso than most Conservative Evangelical leaders, anyway.
Despite having lived in the Midwest for the past 15 or so years, I don't quite see what you mean by it being present as a moral undertone in the culture of the Midwest. Maybe I just lived in the wrong part. It certainly seems to be evident in my new home of Florida, however.
It's interesting to me to see the ways Obama has tried to straighten out his faith since the Jeremiah Wright fiasco.
I don't have sound on my computer, so I haven't listened to his speech, but I'd be interested to know how he plans to play out his "active faith" if elected, as many Democrats seem to want faith to be as inactive in politics as possible.

The virtual band Gorillaz came into existence in 1998 at a time when English creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlitt grew increasingly tired and frustrated about the quality of music played on MTV. Fourteen years later, the four animated members — 2D, Noodle, Russell and Murdoc — now make up one of the most creative, ambitious and popular musical projects ever created.
Over the years, Albarn has successfully combined elements from different genres to create a distinctive style that straddles rock, hip hop, dub and pop music — the band's current instrumental lineup (used for live performances) features two original members from punk legends The Clash. The Singles Collection 2001–2011 testifies to this unique style.
Devoted fans of the band might be disappointed by the fact that this album contains nothing new, but it is still a great compilation of the band's most significant work. Given the wide range of music found in any Gorillaz album, selecting a handful of hit songs out of four albums is an arduous task, and some fans will be let down by the exclusion of certain tracks. The absence of any tracks from 2010's The Fall is also a major disappointment. Ultimately, though, The Singles Collection 2001–2011 is an introductory compilation worth owning for diehard fan and novice alike.

HUDSON, N.Y. -- For the third time this week the Cedar Park Cemetery in Hudson has been damaged. The American flags on the Civil War graves have been ripped or gone missing.
NEWS10 was there Wednesday evening when volunteers discovered additional damage in another section close to the one that has already been targeted.
Local veterans groups placed American flags at more than 2,500 veterans headstones in the cemetery on Memorial Day.
"It's the way we show our appreciation to the dead. But to have someone come and do this is just a disgrace," said Randy Stats, a volunteer.
The first incident happened over the weekend, Stats said. More than 30 flags decorating the graves of Civil War Veterans in a smaller section of the larger cemetery were damaged. Then Tuesday evening, between 6 and 7 o'clock another 17 went missing.
"I can't understand the motivation of these people. If they know about this they're certainly fearless or just don't care," said Vince Wallace, a volunteer caretaker who found the damage.
Police are investigating and said an animal could be behind it.
Stats denies that, saying there were no bite marks on the flag poles.
Police are offering a $500 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Dr. Craig Mello and colleague Dr. Andrew Fire of Stanford honored for 1998 discovery of RNAi
WORCESTER, Mass.-On October 2, 2006, the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet awarded The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2006 to the University of Massachusetts Medical School's Craig C. Mello, PhD, and his colleague Andrew Fire, PhD, of Stanford University, for their discoveries related to RNA interference.
In 1998, Drs. Mello and Fire, then of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, published research findings in Nature that demonstrated that a particular form of ribonucleic acid or RNA-the cellular material responsible for the transmission of genetic information-can silence targeted genes. This RNAi process offers astounding potential for understanding and manipulating the cellular basis of human disease, and RNAi is now the state-of-the-art method by which scientists can "knock out" the expression of specific genes to thus define the biological functions of those genes. Just as important has been the finding that RNAi is a normal process of genetic regulation that takes place during development, opening a new window on developmental gene regulation.
"I am truly humbled and honored to be recognized with my collaborator, Dr. Andrew Fire, with the Nobel Prize. It is extremely gratifying to see RNAi applied so broadly in labs around the globe," said Dr. Mello, 45. "Our work was just one piece of a puzzle but I think it is opening a door to a whole new frontier from which we can learn so much more about our body's own protective mechanisms."
Since Drs. Mello and Fire's seminal publication describing their breakthrough, RNAi has swept through laboratories around the world, changing the way many biomedical researchers work. Outside UMMS laboratories, companies at the forefront of pharmaceutical innovation have purchased licenses to RNAi technology, co-owned by UMMS and the Carnegie Institution, to aid in their development of treatments for disease. Currently, licenses have been issued to companies including Novartis AG, Bristol-Myers Squibb, CytRX Corp., Sirna Therapeutics, Monsanto Co., GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer. At UMMS, researchers are taking full advantage of RNAi technology to speed investigation into a variety of diseases such as diabetes, cancer, ALS and HIV/AIDS.
"This is an incredible day for the University of Massachusetts Medical School. We are so very proud that Dr. Mello is the Medical School's first recipient of this illustrious prize. His enthusiasm for scientific pursuits and innovation is an inspiration to his faculty colleagues, postdoctoral fellows, students and staff alike," said Chancellor and Dean Aaron Lazare.
Drs. Fire and Mello, who were elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2004 and 2005 respectively, were co-recipients of the organization's distinguished Award in Molecular Biology in 2003 and the Wiley Prize in the Biomedical Sciences from Rockefeller University that same year. Their RNAi finding was named the 2002 "Breakthrough of the Year" by Science magazine and, remarkably, was also on Science's list of the top 10 scientific advances in 2003.

Also in 2005, the pair received Brandeis University's Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Medical Research, the Canadian government's Gairdner International Award and the Massry Prize. In 2006, they were awarded the prestigious Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize. Most recently, Dr. Mello was named the inaugural recipient of The Dr. Paul Janssen Award for Biomedical Research by Johnson & Johnson.
"On behalf of the University of Massachusetts, I applaud Dr. Mello and Dr. Fire for this unparalleled honor," said University President Jack M. Wilson. "Dr. Mello's research has placed UMass at the epicenter of a revolution in both biomedical research and in prospective therapies. It's a stunning example of the positive impact that UMass can have on humanity and is fully consistent with our mission to be a university of distinction serving our community, our nation and the world."
Dr. Mello, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, holds his BS in biochemistry from Brown University and his PhD in Cellular and Developmental Biology from Harvard University. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center before coming to Worcester to join UMMS in 1994, the year he was also named a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences. In 2003, Dr. Mello's work so inspired philanthropists John F. "Jack" Blais and wife Shelley that they made a $3 million gift to establish the Blais University Chair in Molecular Medicine to assist Mello in his future research endeavors.
In 1901, Emil von Behring was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on serum therapy, which opened a new road in medical science and helped save hundreds of thousands of lives. The Prize has subsequently been awarded to a broad field including immunology, genetics, neurobiology, diagnostics and drug development, as mankind continues to struggle against disease and death. Drs. Mello and Fire follow 2005 Nobel Prize recipients Barry J. Marshall, MBBS, and J. Robin Warren, MBBS, who were jointly awarded for their discovery of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and its role in gastritis and peptic ulcer disease.

It has been five years since Oakland was set on fire during the Oakland Rebellions that were a result of the BART police murder of Oscar Grant. Los Angeles based journalist Thandisizwe Chimurenga is set to release her book, "No Doubt: The Murder(s) of Oscar Grant," in the coming weeks. This book gives a much needed political analysis of what was at work behind the curtains of this monumental police murder case.
March 28, 2013
Like President Clinton in his first run for president, Oakland's city auditor developed her creds in the conservative community by creating a Sista Souljah moment. She publicly spanked two Black City Council members. These council members, Desley Brooks and Larry Reid, were trying desperately to level the economic playing field in Oakland. They were trying to integrate the money.
August 28, 2012
The New York Times published a piece called "Oakland, the Last Refuge of Radical America" that pretty much had everyone in Oakland scratching their heads and mouthing a collective WTF? Is Oakland the last refuge for radicalism where outsiders are invading the city? No, Oakland is a city where people are not shy about fighting for and demanding justice.
November 22, 2009
KCBS calls it "Another Viral BART Police Confrontation," referring to the now world famous video of a BART officer shooting passenger Oscar Grant in the back as he lay face down on a BART platform at 2 a.m. New Year's Day. The new video, shot Saturday night, shows another BART officer assaulting a passenger almost as viciously. STORY UPDATED TUESDAY, NOV. 24.
August 13, 2009
On the first of January this year, 2009, Oscar Grant was murdered by a BART police officer. This crime gained national media attention and united a community as people from various walks of life came together to demonstrate, voice their righteous indignation and demand justice. People protested, marched, rallied and attended numerous community meetings. Thirty days later, on Jan. 30, my son was shot 17 times and his friend was murdered. There were no marches. There were no rallies. There were no protests.

Opinions On Xbox 720 Restriction On Used Games?
Ok so there is a pretty strong rumor that Microsoft is restricting the use of used games for it's next console. Each game will be tied to the first console it is played on, then that's it! Downloadable games and one-user-disks will be the only legal means for gamers to play games on their Xbox 720 consoles if rumors prove to be true. If these rumors turn out to be true, I don't think it will help it will help Microsoft in anyway. What do you guys think?

Corbin Traded to Evansville
Thursday, February 13, 2014
DULUTH, Ga. - The Gwinnett Gladiators have traded defenseman Antoine Corbin to the Evansville IceMen in exchange for future considerations. Corbin, 21, had three goals, eight assists, and was a minus-11 in 21 games with the Gladiators this season. He was acquired by Gwinnett from the Cincinnati Cyclones on December 11th for future considerations.
The Gladiators are members of the ECHL, the nation's premier "AA" hockey league and are affiliated with the Phoenix Coyotes of the NHL. All home games are played at the 11,355-seat Arena at Gwinnett Center, located just off I-85 on Sugarloaf Parkway in Duluth.

"Filthy" fight card.
Middleweight oddball Tom Lawlor was originally booked for an Aug. 27 date in Brazil against Maiquel Falcao; however, "Big Rig" was sent trucking to Canada after receiving his Zuffa pink slip this past month for legal issues.
Now, instead of keeping him on the "Rio" card, UFC has elected to put Lawlor on the UFC on Versus 5 fight card opposite Australian ass-kicker Kyle Noke just two weeks earlier on Aug. 14 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Noke himself brought word of the pending match-up by way of his Twitter.
Lawlor has been riding the pine since a unanimous decision win over Patrick Cote that sent "The Predator" packing.
It was a must-win scenario for the "Filthy" one, who had dropped his previous two bouts, to Aaron Simpson and Joe Doerksen, respectively.
The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 8 veteran is well known for his popular impersonations during weigh-ins and entrances to the cage. Anyone care to guess who he'll parody for this one?
He'll have plenty of material to choose from. On top of being a popular Aussie, Noke, at one time, served as a bodyguard for the late Steve Irwin.
He honored "The Crocodile Hunter" back on Feb. 27 with a first round rear-naked choke submission victory over Chris Camozzi.
That win pushed his consecutive streak to five, including a spotless 3-0 mark inside the famed Octagon. Think he'll make it to four?
UFC on Versus 5 will feature a bevy of marquee match ups, including Dan Hardy vs. Chris Lytle in the main event of the evening, as well as Jim Miller vs. Ben Henderson and Stephan Bonnar vs. Karlos Vemola.

Maybe after the Niners vacate, and before they tear the place down. On the broadcast today, Krukow was kinda baggin' on the idea, but a well crafted event could be really cool, if not lucrative. I imagine that it would garner quite a bit of attention. Maybe have another event at ATT to make some bucks? There's a whole generation of Giants fans who've never seen a game at the venerable place.
Your thoughts?

Kentucky's corrections budget is growing much faster than total state government spending.
In fact, according to the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, more than half the growth in the state budget since 2000 has been in the corrections system, jails, and state prisons. Dave Adkisson, president and CEO of the State Chamber told a legislative panel in August that state leaders must begin focusing on that spending problem now or expect a day of reckoning as soon as 2012.
Adkisson will be one of the guests on Kentucky Tonight, Monday, September 21st at 8:00/7:00 Central on KET. The other guests are:
- J. Michael Brown, Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet Secretary
- Linda Tally Smith, Commonwealth's Attorney for Boone and Gallatin Counties
- Robert Lawson, Professor of Law in the University of Kentucky College of Law
This is an important topic. Please join the conversation by email during the show or send me a facebook message. I'll do my best to read them on the air.

I think this headline puts things in perspective for B Marsh . . .
Anyone who can't admit that the timing of this freshly-minted trade request is quite odd indeed is, well, probably nuts themselves. This headline from Deadspin captures that odd timing quite perfectly. The Broncos can try all they want to accommodate the trade request, but my guess is they won't find as many takers as they might have . . . say . . . two years ago.

Results tagged "kickboxing" from Sunday Sun Blog
I'M currently in the middle of my training ahead of my next fight on March 31st in North Carolina, USA. I'm fighting Dennis Siver from Germany and know that it's going to be one of the hardest tests of my career to date.
As a result, I'm training and preparing harder than ever. I'm leaving nothing to chance. Such is the nature of mixed martial arts, I'm working on pretty much every aspect of my game on a daily basis.
I work on my Thai-boxing first thing Monday morning, and that means I'll go through pads, sparring, clinch work and other drills. Then I do a weights power circuit, then Brazilian jiu-jitsu and wrestling.
ORGANISERS of MMA continually have to fight for the right to hold events in council-run sports centres.
This is because the perception is that MMA is a brutal form of combat competition devoid of skill and only done by knuckle-dragging Neanderthals.
Of course this utter rubbish and is a common false perception by those who have usually never even seen a competition, or do not understand what actually is happening.
A MARTIAL artist I know recently told me that he wasn't going to bother taking his second dan black belt because he didn't see much point.
His argument was that dan grades are just for those who feel the need to have 'letters after their names'.
I fundamentally disagree (sounds like he is suffering the black belt blues!) because in most martial arts the real training and understanding comes AFTER taking your first black belt.
And to get that true and deeper understanding you have to advance through the upper parts of the system.
A black belt first dan is the BEGINNER grade of black belts. This is why the Japanese systems clearly make a difference in terminology between Kyu (Boy) grades and Dan (Man) grades.
"JUST hold it there," said Chris Crudelli with a broad smile. "Its about the mind having control over the body..."
Of course that was easy for Chris to say - he was standing upright!
The rest of us were crouched over, legs spread wide apart, knees bent at right angles, groaning, sweating and jibbering as we held the infamous horse stance for what seemed a life time.
There I was, deep in horse stance with every muscle in my legs screaming "Stop! Now!" and thinking "Why I'm I doing this?"
But of course Chris is right - the mind is such a powerful thing that it really can kick the proverbial ass of the body any day if you believe it can.
He also had us practising developing Chi, or Ki if you follow the Japanese arts.
Question is - what is the force that you can feel in your hands when you practise the Qi Quong techniques?
Hello - I've decided to give over this blog to an exclusive interview with Keith Porter, 15th Dan Ninjutsu.
Keith is one of the to Ninjutsu experts in the world and regularly trains with Grandmaster Hatsumi Maasaki in Japan.
Having known and trained with Keith I can safely say he is one of the most knowledgeable martial arts expertrs alive to day.
Phil Doherty: Hello Keith. How and when did you become interested in martial arts?

A couple of months ago, Sony announced its brand new lineup of smartphones belonging to the NXT series. Smart, sleek and seductive the showstopper of the series was the Sony Xperia S which we had reviewed sometime ago. While the company had announced alongside the Xperia S, the Sony Xperia U and Xperia P, both smartphones were released in the market only last week. The smallest avatar in the NXT series, Sony Xperia U, landed on our test benches. Does the small one pack in a punch?
Design details
Design-wise the Xperia U looks, not so surprisingly, like a mini-replica of the Xperia S, Sony's current flagship product. However, the smaller screen and more petite build doesn't really take away from the aesthetics of the handset. The 3.5-inch display is nice and bright, powered by Sony's proprietary Mobile BRAVIA Engine and the handset finds a nice fit in my palm.
Sony has always upheld a high 'fashion quotient' across its range of handsets, with the most pronounced highlights being in the models in the NXT series. The transparent bar at the bottom of the handset - a purely aesthetic addition with little functionality – will manage to charm you even if you're all for utility. Apart from lighting up when you lock/unlock or power the smartphone on, the LED lights in the transparent bar also indicate certain notifications or alerts you may have on the phone. To score brownie points, it changes colours to match the predominant colours in a photograph you might be browsing through in your smartphone's album.
Despite the seemingly small-ish screen, typing on the virtual keyboard was quite a breeze. The software is accurate with text prediction and avoids typos intuitively. Unlike the hardware controls such as the volume rocker and power button in the Xperia S, the ones on this handset don't feel uncomfortably sharp to touch.
Those who are not familiar to Xperia S (and we're guessing if you are, you wouldn't be switching to the U anytime soon!) might take some time getting used to the fact that the touch buttons on the phone lie on top of the transparent bar and not on it. Add to it the fact that you can barely see what the three touchpoints stands for (Return, Home and Settings, in that order), the first few days will probably involve a lot of double-checking.
The default camera app comes pre-loaded with a lot of shooting options. When you are framing your shot you can quickly access some of the most important settings right on the screen – Flash, Exposure and Scenes. The fourth icon lets you either swap from the rear camera to the one at the front or capture an image in the Sweep Panorama mode. Images clicked with the front camera were a little grainy - that's not so unexpected. However, pics taken in the Panorama mode too weren't really impressive. Apart from being slightly grainy, you could also tell, without having to look too hard, where the camera had 'stitched' up the images in case you weren't super steady while shooting the Panorama.
Regular shots with the 5-megger, however, were pretty impressive. The colour reproduction as well as the sharpness of images didn't disappoint.
The camera also has an option to capture panorama images in 3D but you can only view it in a device that supports 3D images. We took a couple of shots but couldn't test it on a 3D device.
The native music player features the xLoud technology along with Sony 3D surround sound. On speakerphone, the music sounds loud and the vocals crystal clear. It's not one of the phones where you'd be wary of distortion or audio turning tinny when you increase the volume.
Software and apps
The irony is that despite being an 'NXT' generation product, the handset still features Android Gingerbread (ver 2.3) and is awaiting an upgrade to the Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Not that the current interface and Sony's overlay mar the user experience.
There are a couple of apps pre-loaded on to the smartphone, such as MusicUnlimited and PlayNow, which hold a whole lot of promise but sadly aren't a functional service in India yet.
Timescape remains the familiar ol' interface for you to integrate multiple social service accounts. It streamlines and displays your news or social feed across platforms in chronological order. You can now include a couple of extensions for this app, available on Google Play. These include Foursquare Timescape, Music Timescape, Picasa Timescape and a bunch of similar services.
The 'Connected Devices' app lets you stream music, videos and photos on other devices that are in the same Wi-Fi network as the smarpthone and vice versa. Keep in mind the devices need to be DLNA-enabled to be connected to the Xperia U through this app.
The usual suspects like Google Maps, Google Messenger, OfficeSuite (productivity app), TrackID (music recognition app) and GPS-guide Wisepilot are pre-loaded on to the unit.
Hardware and battery
The Xperia S runs on a 1 GHz dual-core processor. It never felt like the phone was slowing down when we had the browser and music player on in the background while we kept on downloading and trying out a couple of games from Google Play. There are times when the phone takes just that extra second to, say for example, process a Panorama shot taken or apply an editing effect. The speeds aren't what you'd call blazingly fast but it doesn't give too much reason to complain either.
Under the hood, the Xperia U is powered by a 1,320 mAh battery. In our case, this fuelled the device for close to two days with intermittent internet usage (connected to Wi-Fi), playing games every once in a while as well as streaming music.
We say
One thing that might hold smartphone junkies back from going for this phone is the fact that it has only 4GB of user-accessible memory. So, you either have to load on only your absolute favourite music, videos or pics on the phone or keep transferring the media you capture on the phone to a laptop or PC. Also, in our Quadrant Standard benchmarking test, the handset scored about 1,893 points ranking below the likes of LG Optimus 2X, but a little above HTC Desire HD.
It's not a ground-breaking smartphone, it doesn't have the most impressive tech specs nor is it the most high-end phone you can own. But if all you need is a decently built smartphone that doesn't let you down on performance, interface or battery life, the Xperia U is worth a shot.

Afghan officials called Jones "uneducated," "racist" and a "leper," according to ABC's Nick Schifrin.
Yesterday a shocking attack on a UN compound in northern Afghanistan, which left 7 dead, was blamed on Terry Jones. At the time we couldn't believe it -- but now the protests are spreading.
The Taliban are not taking credit for these attacks.
When Jones finally filmed himself burning a Koran on March 20, it seemed like no one paid attention. The media hellstorm that broke out last year when he threatened to burn a Koran had faded.

The Hispanic population continues to grow across the nation and in Texas. Making sure this population is getting the education needed to compete in the global economy is the issue. Excelencia in Education President Doctor Sarita Brown ...
"I'm not a demographer but we've not had a scenario where such a key leadership component if you will is at one discreet chunk of time, the next 15 years, withdrawing from professional life. While every, as I said, young person is important it isn't going to be the three year old that's going to take that position, it's going to be today's high school student, tomorrow's college student."
Brown says the focus needs to be on colleges.
"We have to look at what's happening in colleges because those are the students who are already there, we've already invested to get them there and do all that we can so they become baccalaureate recipients and step into those vacancies."
Brown says Latino students tend to come from poorer backgrounds that affect their higher education choices.
"They're going to pick a scenario that allows them to continue to contribute as young people to their families and go to school. That means they make choices to work and go to school. They make choices to go to school close to home."
Brown says this can have negative consequences.
"The scenario means they are not in the institutions that have the most ample financial aid where it's easy for them to live in the dorm and go to school. They have to juggle a lot. These are not characteristics that are exclusive to Latino, but they are dominate among first generation Latino students."
Brown says many students face this challenge, but she says it's more widespread among Latinos. Texas Higher Education Commissioner Raymund Paredes says this state has made some progress.
"the picture of Latino education in Texas is that we are getting better results in terms of absolute numbers. That is to say we have a larger number of Latino students who are graduating from high school. We have a larger number of Latino students who are going to college and graduating. But relative to the growth of the Latino population by some indicators we are actually falling behind."

ARLINGTON, Texas- The University of Maryland Eastern Shore earned its first official post-season berth earlier this week when the United States Bowling Congress announced the qualifying assignments for the 2014 XBowling Intercollegiate Team Championships.
The Hawks will travel to Allentown, Pa., March 15-16 and bowl at AMF Parkway Lanes. Other locations include Fort Worth, Texas, Addison, Ill. and Smyrna, Tenn.
The top four teams from each region will advance to the finals of the 2014XBowling ITCs, held April 16-18 in Reno, Nev. at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. Other teams bowling in the Allentown regional include: Bowling Green, Briarcliffe, Davenport, Erie CC, Hudson Valley CC, Kutztown, Lawrence Tech, Norfolk State, Ohio State, Sacred Heart, Schenectady CC, St. Francis-Pennsylvania, Ursuline, Webber International and Wright State. This field includes five other NCAA schools.
Other NCAA schools in sectionals include: Stephen F. Austin in Fort Worth, Texas, Elmhurst and McKendree in Addison, Ill and Alma and Adrian in the Smryna Tenn. sectional. Ten NCAA schools earned the USBC sectional berth.
Eight NCAA schools made the championship field last season. Two seasons ago UMES bowled in Allentown and took second to Webber International after leading the entire event until the final block. Last season, before winning the ITC National Championship, the Hawks went to sectionals in Las Vegas and took second to Wichita State. They last won a sectional in 2011 in Euless, Texas and went on to win the National Championship that year as well. They also won the Chattanooga sectional in 2010. They last won the Allentown sectional in 2009.
Sectional assignments are based on the Team Ranking System points earned in USBC Collegiate-certified competition throughout the season. USBC Collegiate attempts to place no more than two of the top eight schools and no more than four of the top 16 schools in a sectional based on final TRS totals. Sectional qualifier fields are determined by taking geographic distance, economics and field size into consideration.
The sectionals will consist of 32 Baker games each day for a total of 64 Baker games. The top four teams based on total pinfall in each division following the completion of competition at each sectional will advance to the 2014 XBowling Intercollegiate Team Championships. In addition, these four locations will host qualifying for the 2014 XBowling Intercollegiate Singles Championships on March 14. Competitors at each of the four sectional events will bowl six games with 24 men and 16 women - the top four men and top four women at each sectional plus eight additional selections from the men's field based on size of field at each location - advancing to the national singles tournament on April 15 in Reno.

Highway 43 in Lake Oswego reopened for the Monday morning commute after a mudslide shut it down Sunday night.
The mudslide happened between Laural and Oak streets late Sunday.
Debris came down the hillside and landed in the road, blocking part of it.
There were no reports of injuries and no cars damaged by the slide.
Crews worked for most of the night and managed to get it reopened around 2:30 a.m.

The leg of Nolan Kohorst became the toast of The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, after a game-winning field goal to beat Hawaii on Saturday.
The last-second heroics were enough to earn the Rebels senior the Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Week honor.
Kohorst kicked the go-ahead, 44-yard field goal to give the Rebels a 39-37 win and extend the team's current win streak to four games.
UNLV noted Kohorst was the first Rebel to receive this award since 2008. Kohorst's honor was also the fifth time a Rebel received a conference award this season.
Kohorst, who graduated from Green Valley High School, also received national recognition as a Lou Groza Award Star of the Week.
Kohorst's leg and the 4-2 Rebels will get back to work Saturday at Fresno State University.

WINONA, Minn. (KTTC) -- A Winona teenager who brought a loaded handgun to Winona Senior High School on Monday has been charged.
The Winona County Attorney's Office says by law it can't release what the charges are because the boy is under 16 but did say he is being held in a secure facility.
According to the Winona Area Public Schools superintendent, the boy will not be allowed to return to the school.
The 15-year-old was arrested Monday morning after admitting to police and school administrators that he brought a 22-calibur handgun on campus.
In a time when school shootings are an unfortunate reality, safety on campus is a top priority at Winona Senior High School.
When the student brought a loaded gun on campus, the school took immediate action.
"We just go 0-60 and act on it," said Dr. Scott Hannon, superintendent of Winona Area Public Schools. "Anytime a weapon's involved that just goes right to the top of the chart. You just drop everything and you deal with it."
According to Dr. Hannon, a student told a faculty member they had seen the juvenile with the gun in his pocket. The teen was taken out of school immediately and in the days that followed, authorities investigated the situation. Dr. Hannon said more students came forward claiming the teenager had brought a gun to school on more than one occasion.
"Once we knew about it, everything that should take place, did take place," said Dr. Hannon.
Though the student was seen with a gun on separate occasions, no one ever turned him in to school officials. Dr. Hannon said the school has security measures in place which include security cameras, safety specialists and trained faculty and staff. But like other schools across the country, Winona Senior High can only do so much in the face of danger.
"We need to make sure that parents, staff and especially students feel that it's okay to say something if they feel that they're being threatened-Whether it's a knife or in this case a handgun-they need to say something and we really appreciate that information because it could head off a catastrophe," said Dr. Hannon.
More than 3,000 students attend 8 Winona Area Public Schools. According to the superintendent, there are security measures and procedures at all of those locations.

How to Fight a Flu or Cold: Sleep!
10.15.09 How to Fight a Flu or Cold: Sleep!
I know it seems simple. But I sure don't do it enough. Yeah, I'll go out and buy vitamin C and Echinacea, herbal tea, and zinc lozenges, but I barely get 7 hours a night of sleep at night (and finally, it is not because of my children, per se).
But studies have consistently shown that sleep effects our immune systems in significant ways.
According to the New York Times article, "In a recent study for The Archives of Internal Medicine, scientists followed 153 men and women for two weeks, keeping track of their quality and duration of sleep. Then, during a five-day period, they quarantined the subjects and exposed them to cold viruses. Those who slept an average of fewer than seven hours a night, it turned out, were three times as likely to get sick as those who averaged at least eight hours."
Three times more likely! Will that get me to turn off the computer? Put down the book? I hope it becomes the little voice in my head telling me to.
With all the worries about flu and H1N1, this is one simple thing that can help all of us. What about you, readers? How much sleep do you get? And do you get sick often?

Senath remembered a day many say changed their town forever.
One year ago, 3-year-old Breeann Rodriguez disappeared while riding her bike on Ode Johnson Road.
Her neighbor Shawn Morgan now faces charges for her murder.
According to court papers, Morgan told authorities he saw the little girl standing by his backyard pool and that he then took her inside, suffocated her with a trash bag, and threw her body into the floodway ditch.
People who remember searching for the little girl say they still await justice.
Prosecutors say Morgan's trial is set for December.
Friends say Breeann's parents, Edgar Rodriguez and Claudia Ramos have since moved out of the home and now live in Arkansas.

Ahhhh...feels good to have some NHL action, even if it's just of the pre-season variety. We're not going to read into the meaningless games too much but here's a few things that we thought were note-worthy:
Patrick O'Sullivan had the Luck of the Irish last night and potted two goals for Edmonton in their win over Calgary. He's fighting for that 1st line LW spot so this is a good start. He looks to be a lot more comfortable in Edmonton than he was after the trade last year where he only managed two goals in 19 games. Patty likes to shoot the puck (259 shots last year) and that would seem to fit perfectly with Horcoff & Hemsky and eventually those shots are going to start hitting the back of the net.
This scout is a big Jack Johnson fan (the stud dman, not the singer) and so anytime he does something good, you'll hear about it... he was 2+1=3 last night in a split squad game vs Phoenix. The kid's got the total package, which is why we're calling him our 8th biggest breakout in the Breakout Bible this year... don't forget about this guy, he's got huge potential.
We still think Maksim Mayorov is a longshot to crack the CBJs roster this year but he helped his cause with two goals last night against Pittsburgh. He's probably due for another year in the A but he's still young (only 20) and has some nice upside. Columbus will take it slow with him as they're most likely going to keep Nikita Filatov with the big club this year and Coach Hitchcock can only handle so many young players at a time.
Antoine Vermette signed a five year extension with the Jackets yesterday. The deal will pay him $3.75 million a year. Seems like a big chunk of change to give to a guy who's only topped 50 points once in his five year career. The BJ's must have really liked the 13 points in 17 games he put up with them last season... we're not as easily impressed.
The reports of Nikolai Zherdev signing with Atlanta look to be incorrect...but only by an "a". Puck Daddy is reporting that Zherdev has signed a deal with Atlant of the KHL and its been confirmed by Atlant. So make sure you take him off your cheatsheet if your draft is coming up... too bad, the prospect of Zherdev lining up with Ilya Kovalchuk was intriguing... maybe next year, in Atlanta or Atlant???
Injury Updates (see our Injury Updates page for a consolidated list of injuries):
Jonas Gustavsson's ticker has been working a little too quickly... his racing heartbeat is apparently a minor concern as coach Ron Wilson said "They go in and touch a part of his heart that was misfiring, It's a simple procedure that's actually fairly common with athletes." Well so far things haven't been firing on all cylinders for the Monster as he's missed a few days of camp (with this and after he fainted following his physical on Saturday). He'll be back on the ice soon and should be able to hold onto the #2 role in Toronto but word is that Joey MacDonald is making a push for the backup job with a strong camp so far.
Lubomir Visnovsky is apparently not 100% after his offseason shoulder surgery and has been taking it real slow to start off training camp... we'll keep an eye on this as Lubes has been known to be pretty fragile during his career so our spidey senses are tingling.
What's distracting us this week? We wanted to give a shout-out to one of our favourite blogs... Down Goes Brown. It just might be the only decent thing out there that's tied to the Maple Leafs (one scout disagrees).
DGB posted a great piece of work with his tongue-in-cheek review of NHL 10...you really should go and read the whole thing. In case you need more convincing, here are our favourite points:
- In Front Office mode, the "fire general manager" option is permanently greyed out for the New York Rangers.
- While experimenting with the GM mode, I attempted to trade a star player to Edmonton. The deal was accepted, but when I checked the Oilers roster immediately afterwards, the star player was there.
- If you manage to win the Stanley Cup, hit "exit" before the handshake line finishes. When you enter the off-season, the game's musical soundtrack will be replaced by the sound of Red Wings fans crying. (Note: there is apparently no undo for this feature.)
- Inspired by the legendary NBA Jam series, NHL 10 includes a hilarious "tiny mode" in which all the regular players on a team are comically shrunk down to a fraction of their normal size. To enable this mode, go to the Team Select screen and choose "Montreal Canadiens".
Good stuff.

Though there are only so many selections to go around in next month's NBA Draft, top executives may also be on the lookout for young guns to add to their D-League team next season.
Mark Lyons remains a central topic for the Arizona Wildcats and just how good of a team they can become. Some argue Arizona needs a true point guard. I ask, what is a true point guard?
Links from around the interwebs regarding the Arizona Wildcats. We're talking Mark Lyons' point guard duties, Dan Buckner's last hurrah, and McKale's renovations.

PHILIPS EnduraLED 7W 120V PAR20 FL25 Dimmable Warm White LED Light Bulb
- Product Review (submitted on November 18, 2011):
- Perhaps I didn't read the product specs well enough, but I wasn't expecting them to be so small. Instead of being a good substitute for my ceiling floods they are more of a spotlight--limiting where I feel comfortable putting them. I'm keeping them, but I won't buy more of them--I need to find a better eco-friendly bulb that works well as a ceiling flood.

Spain - Female temporary employment seekers use the internet
21 July 2009
In a recent research report published by Randstad Espana, 52% of women use the internet when trying to find a job. On the other hand, 58% of the people who have contacted Randstad offices in the last 6 months were men.
The staffing specialist sees this as another proof that women are on average more computer literate than men who seem to prefer traditional methods of contacting staffing agencies and potential employers.
There has also been a slight change in the average age of people who use the internet for finding work. Whereas in the last Randstad study on the same subject the average age of internet job seekers was below 30 it is now 30.1 years.
However, internet literacy appears to be higher in the large Spanish metropolises. Madrid accounts for 11.9% of people who made internet contact with Randstad followed by Barcelona with 8.9%, Seville with 2.7%, Valencia with 2.4% and Zaragoza with 1.7%.

Oil protester arrested trying to board tanker
Updated 8:59am Friday 2nd May 2014 in News
Protester Phil Ball has been charged with trespass after he and other Greenpeace protesters were arrested in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, when they tried to prevent the first oil from the Arctic coming to the market in Europe.
Mr Ball was arrested yesterday at a Greenpeace protest in Rotterdam trying to board the oil tanker Mikhail Ulyanov at about 6am.
As one of Greenpeace's Arctic 30, the 42-year-old from Milton-under-Wychwood was held prisoner by the Russian authorities for 100 days after trying to board a Russian oil platform to protest about drilling in the Arctic last year.
This is the same oil, from the same rig, for which he was arrested last year.
He was last night being held by Dutch authorities.

For the second year in a row, Area Development Magazine recognized Roanoke as having a strong workforce.
The magazine's list of leading locations for 2013 ranks cities based on the size and skill of the workforce.
The Star City was ranked 16th among mid-size cities and 32nd out of all 380 metro areas.
It also shows the number of undergraduates in the area out-ranks places like San Francisco, Boston, and Austin.
With about 25 colleges and universities all within an hour of Roanoke, Taylor Ricotta, a communications coordinator for the Roanoke Business Lounge, says it isn't hard to find qualified employees and interns.
"I think the talent is really feeding in from those colleges because they are really pouring into our city," Ricotta says.

To being with, the Sun is a weird ship. It was my initial thought when I first sailed her in February, 2008, and it was my final opinion when I sailed this time around. It just doesn't flow properly. To get to one end of the ship from another, you have to go around in loops, up and down and back. The ship is dark, somber and sad looking and is in desperate need of dry-docking for some major renovations.
Cabins: With few exceptions, this will probably be my one and only positive bit of information I will provide for this sailing. Our cabin was fantastic, as was cabin service (Indro and Norman, in case anyone from NCL is reading). The room was always kept immaculate. They were quick too....we would step out for breakfast and return to a clean cabin. I often felt as though they were lurking around the corners waiting for you to leave to get their work done. They did a fine job. Everything we asked for we got in record time. Lots of closet and cabinet space to place everything we brought for 11 days. Balcony was big and comfortable, even though it was a standard balcony. Very little noise was heard from hallways or crew workers. All other cabin stewards were pleasant and extremely helpful too.
Entertainment: The shows [on this sailing] were the same ones that were playing when we sailed the Sun in February, 2008. For the Feb sailing, I rated the shows a 5+ and was expecting that although it would be a repeat for us, they would be of the same quality. Unfortunately, the shows were the same but the cast, dancers and singers were not and that made all the difference from a 5+ to a 1. They were horrible!!!!!!!. The singers were off-key, the dancers were not in tune with each other and with the exception of the two Russians who performed their ballet (who were awesome and extremely talented), everyone else could and should be removed from these shows. As far as any other entertainment? Forget it. There was none! The ship is practically dead by 9:30pm and unless you are a gambler, which fortunately we were (or should I say unfortunately since we dropped a few bucks there) there was absolutely nothing to do on this ship. NOTHING.
Shore Excursions: Horribly overpriced! In fact, we cancelled most when we realized we could do so much better on our own, and the one we didn't cancel, we absolutely do not recommend, it is the worse $140 we have ever paid in our lives: "Stone Island Beach Escape" at Mazatlan! It looked like a city dump, in the middle of a deserted area of nothing but trees and one big hut. The horses were ill (literally one was bleeding) and the horse carriage ride was joke! The food offered was a tortilla filled with something that was thinner than a hair net and the only thing going that was any good was the beer but in 6 ounce bottles that you had to keep getting up to get a new one!
Overall: NCL is in trouble!!! BIG TROUBLE and it needs to do something very fast or it will sink…..literally! My first experience with NCL was long ago, my very first cruise. Had nothing to compare it with and the cruise industry was just beginning. My second experience with NCL was many many years later on the Pride of America! That was and remains my only positive view of this cruise line. It was a fantastic sailing, the ship was gorgeous, the staff was nice and my written review of that sailing should suffice in explaining my complete satisfaction with the Pride of America sailing from Honolulu. However, even in Hawaii they appear to be in trouble as evidenced by the fact that less than a year ago they had three ships sailing the Islands and now they only have one! Something is seriously wrong with NCL. Personally, I doubt that I will ever sail them again. At least not until and unless they get their act together. Carnival Royal, Costa, MSC, they've all got their act together and I'll be sailing Celebrity for the first time next year, but I have no doubt they will be as good as everyone says they are!

I'm slightly tipsy on champagne at the moment, in my hotel in the Gaslamp celebrating the end of the three-day torture known as the California Bar Exam - the longest bar exam in the country (with, so I've been told, the highest fail rate in the country). The good news . . . I've taken the darn thing. The bad news . . . well, ask me at the end of November when they publish the pass list.
In the mean time, I'm coming out of my cave, looking around, seeing my shadow, and seriously considering going back inside my cave until next year. I managed to make it to the game on Tuesday, which, between Bar-induced hallucinations and that heart-stopping almost-homerun that looked like a gimme from where I was sitting, was another form of torture all together. Now I'm thinking, after last night, that I should never set foot in SD again. Baseball must be an addiction, because otherwise I can't imagine why I would still love something that hurts me so good.
The point of this . . . I warned you I've been drinking champagne, right? . . . the point is that I'm returning to baseball after a long, painful hiatus. I've missed you guys. And to be honest, every time I've been able to check in with the baseball world, I've needed you guys. Will you take me back?
It's hard to make it through the unluckiest season in my *entire* life (for what it's worth) all alone. . . .
Side note: Drama, I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you . . . I'm strictly on my Blackberry at the moment, and it doesn't hold onto old emails very long. . . .

Shots Fired
First came, "Congrats to P @prodigymobbdeep and @rihanna for getting married soon!! @rihanna please confirm!"
OK, an innocuous drunk-tweet perhaps. No big deal. Then the tweets took an ugly turn.
"I got n—as in the jail system to to back up that prodigy was f— homes in jail."
"Prodigy a b-tch and I'm gonna show it, follow!! ground breaking new. I got ni**as in the jail system to to back up that prodigy was fucking homes in jail. Prodigy prove me wrong! please."
"I have a big announcement... and ni--as that was locked wit him know the truth. now i will silence.... and let the jails take care of the rest. thats on everything, i had to smack P ask him. prodigy u pussy! u long island ass b-tch. I'm about to expose u! next time i see u, u getting layer out, on camera!! i can't wait!"
"In a minute.... ni--as that was in the jail wit him gonna blow him up first hand.!!!! prodigy a hider not a rider."
Havoc Issues a StatementThe next morning, Havoc released a statement saying -- yes, you guessed it -- that he had nothing to do with the tweets. He left his phone at a gas station, never mind that the tweets came from the web.
"Just getting back into NY after my Easter weekend with family and friends in Jersey," read Hav's tatement.
"I left my phone at a gas station yesterday evening while on my way to Jersey after a glorious Knicks game. To all Mobb Deep fans: it's business as usual! It's Mobb Deep all day!!! My twitter account @THEREALHAVOC will be down until further notice. The only other real account is @PRODIGYMOBBDEEP. Ignore the rest. One!"
Audio Evidence
Things took a weir turn when Power 105.1 FM's The Breakfast Club aired an audio recording of Havoc telling a friend that Prodigy is gay. [Listen]
"I don't have nothing against gay people or nothing like that, but I'm just saying — look, watch, when n----s in the jail come out from the woodwork, and they gonna tell you what the f--k this n---a was doing. He gay! I had to smack him like a month and half ago when we was doing South by Southwest."
Breakfast Club hosts Angela Yee, Charlemagne Tha God and DJ Envy weren't sure if that was truly Hav on the phone. So they called up the one rapper who knows Mobb Deep well - Queens rapper and long-time Mobb collaborator N.O.R.E. N.O.R.E. confirmed that the voice did indeed belong to Havoc, adding: "I think the cat's gonna be let out the bag very soon."
Then Hav called into The Breakfast Club as well, again saying that his phone had been stolen and denied that he sent any anti-Prodigy tweets. He did call it "great Promotion" while announcing that H.N.I.C. 3 is coming soon.
Prodigy Responds
Prodigy kept mum as gossip sites stumbled over themselves trying to untangle the web of mess Hav's tweets had created. But on Tuesday, he finally broke his silence on Twitter.
Check it:
"Hav...got you an early gift" accompanied by this image.
"SMH ..just saw alot of true colors come out of u people. never speak too soon. we predators. we set traps. #GOTCHA"
Verdict: That was Havoc on Twitter. And that was Havoc on the phone. But I don't think these two are beefing. The whole thing sounds suspect. Most likely a publicity stunt.I'm calling: B.S.

The constant debate remains of which is a better spend; PR or Advertising.  When it comes to a service related industry, my feeling is that PR is "brand building," whereas Advertising is "brand bolstering." Lets use Southwest Airlines as an example and apply this theory to a case study; if anyone has seen Southwest's new advertising initiative, they're priding themselves on not charging for baggage and they go as far as taking a dig at other airlines hidden charges, making the verbal claim that "other airlines don't like your bags." For those who have not seen these commercials, check out this first video.
Sure, that's a very heartwarming commercial, but this second video I just took through the window of Southwest flight 202 makes me question if they've really got love for my luggage. Â I took the advertising script from the first video and dubbed it over what I saw through the window; as you'll notice there's quite a disconnect, and basically I wouldn't mind paying a couple extra bucks for an additional staff member to ensure this didn't happen to my baggage.
The reality is that any well funded company can spend their outreach dollars on advertising, however people (or the 'Public') will eventually form their own opinions and then it's up to that company to launch a reactive "Public Relations" campaign to alter consumer perception of your brand. Yes, be bold with your initiative, but be sure your that you're employees are carrying out your mission — otherwise your consumers will be carrying-on their luggage.

The final senior project for students hoping to graduate from The University of Texas-Pan American's College of Engineering and Computer Science (COECS) has always generated stress for undergraduates working on their high-stakes assignments.
This year, however, the COECS added an extra challenge for a group of mechanical engineering students: their project would be to design a product for a real-life client. This is the first time the college has had its undergraduate students work for a customer as part of their senior project.
Their task was to design and build a machine that could create heating elements for Delta Heat, a Rio Hondo-based company that designs and sells heating and cooling products. The company gave $10,000 to the University to take on the project.
Working under the supervision of mechanical engineering faculty members Drs. Isaac Choutapalli, Young-Gil Park and Kamal Sarkar -- who oversees the department's senior design projects -- the students spent their senior year developing different prototypes and consulting with their customer to ensure they produced a quality project.
UTPA's students developed a device called a winding machine that uses fiberglass thread that is wrapped with copper or other type of wire. The winding machine allows Delta Heat to adjust the resistance of the heating element so it can tailor the heating elements to the needs of the products the company is making.
The students, Juan Mendiola, Adrian Delgado, Joaquin Vaca and Oscar Cantu -- known as the "Elite 4" -- took the assignment in stride.
"I was confident we could surpass his (the customer's) expectations due to the team's experience," said Mendiola, who, along with the other three team members graduated in May 2012. "Everybody in the 'Elite 4' team had internships with large companies, which clearly demonstrates their abilities as professionals."
Mendiola is continuing his education at Florida State University.
Delgado, who is now employed as an assistant project manager at TDIndustries, said the assignment helped prepare him for the responsibilities he would have to take on at his new job, such as working with other professionals, contacting vendors to learn how a product is installed and managing projects to increase earnings for the company.
"It was an awesome experience, I will never regret taking this project for my senior design," Delgado said. "I learned new skills and used a lot of engineering skills to design this machine and show it fully operational to the customer. I guess a smile from him (the customer) and the professors mean we did a good job."
The Elite 4's invention will save Delta Heating time and money, company officials said. Before, Delta Heating would have to purchase various different types of heating elements from different companies.
"It definitely helps me out a lot," said Palmira Hoos, an employee of Delta Heat who graduated from UTPA in December 2011 with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. Hoos designs flexible heating circuits for customers among other tasks.
Her boss, Carlos Cardenas, owner of Delta Heat, said he was pleased with the student's finished product.
"They far exceeded my expectations," he said. "They made a heck of a design."
Cardenas said UT Pan American has become a great resource for his company, as they will continue to work together. The students created two machines: one for Delta Heat to take and begin making heating elements, the other for faculty members to continue working on perfecting their invention.
"I can't believe you all don't have people waiting in line here" to work with UTPA faculty, staff and students, he said.
Cardenas said he also suspects he will be able to hire more employees as he expects his company will grow, thanks in part to UTPA.
Sarkar said he hopes UTPA's relationship with Delta Heat will be the first of many the University forms with area entrepreneurs.
"The real advantage of this proposal is that we're helping the local entrepreneurs to develop something so they can survive and prosper," he said. "Equally important is that we are creating local jobs for our students."
