STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) - Agencies around an Ohio city are reacting
to online threats tied to a rape investigation involving high school
football players.
Officials have added online security, restricted
access to websites and in a few cases taken websites down altogether
because of the fear of hacking.
The case has gained international attention through
the work of bloggers and hacker-activists who allege there was a
cover-up to protect other football players they argue should have been
The allegations hinge on the presence of other
students nearby when the alleged attack happened, including at least two
students who captured it on their cellphones but weren't arrested.
Two 16-year-old students go on trial in juvenile court next month on rape charges.

Why G-d Chose Moshe as Redeemer and Giver of the Torah by Rabbi Ephraim Sprecher, Dean of Students, Diaspora Yeshiva
Why did G-d first reveal himself to Moshe in a burning thorn bush? The Midrash explains this as a symbolic theme and prophetic vision for the future destiny of the Jewish People.Continue Reading
Hidden in the Sand
Yosef and all his brothers and that whole generation died. Sounds kind of final. End. Done.
But that's not how it works with Jews in general and righteous people in particular. We believe in a World to Come. We believe in an eternal life for the soul. We believe that righteous people live on in their offspring, in the memories of those who follow them.
Yosef and his brothers live on!
Aliya by Aliya Sedra Summary
Aliya-by-Aliya Sedra Summary
[P> X:Y (Z)] and [S> X:Y (Z)] indicate start of a parsha p'tucha or s'tuma. X:Y is Perek:Pasuk of the beginning of the parsha; (Z) is the number of p'sukim in the parsha.
Kohen - First Aliya 17 p'sukim - 1:1-17
[P> 1:1 (7)] Sh'mot begins with the conjunctive VAV to link the birth of the Jewish Nation to the foundation laid by the Patriarchs and "Sh'vatim" in B'reishit. The sons of Yaakov are lovingly enumerated again. The starting number of "70" is repeated to impress upon us the tremendous growth of the people even (or especially) under Egyptian oppression, as described in the p'sukim.

13th of the 54 sedras;
1st of 11 in Sh'mot
From Family to Nation
That's another way to say, From B'reishit to Sh'mot. Because that's what happened. B'reishit started with the Creation of the World, the unfortunate degeneration of the generations (pun intended, morbid as it is) from Adam until No'ach. The bright spot that was No'ach. The devastation of the MABUL. The further degeneration that followed through the subsequent generations until Avraham Avinu.Continue Reading

Parsha Points to Ponder
1) The Torah relates that Moshe's mother SAW HIM THAT HE WAS GOOD AND SHE HID HIM FOR THREE MONTHS (2:2). How can a mother decide to hide her son because she saw THAT HE WAS GOOD? If he wasn't good would she not have hid him?
2) What did Moshe mean when he told God that he was both HEAVY OF MOUTH AND HEAVY OF SPEECH (4:10)?
CHIZUK and IDUD for Olim not yet Olim respectively
One of the Torah's most enigmatic episodes appears in this week's sedra. Moshe is sent by the Almighty to redeem the Jewish People. However, as Moshe makes his way back from Midyan to Egypt, the Almighty attempts to kill him. The Torah dryly depicts the strange scene wherein Moshe's wife, Zippora, cuts the foreskin of her son and in so doing saves her husband's life (Sh'mot 4:24-25).Continue Reading

Ever forget to plan something for dinner? Forget to take meat out of the freezer? Of course, you're saying. The next time that happens, here's what you make.
This recipe is very simple and comes together in about the time it takes for the water to boil and the pasta to cook. It is filled with flavor - although if you have people that are anchovy haters, they won't like this.
Spaghetti with Anchovy Sauce
1 Can Whole Cherry Tomatoes - 16oz.
1 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 garlic cloves, chopped fine
8 Salt Packed Anchovies, rinsed and fileted
Crushed Red Pepper
Notes: I strongly advise using salt packed anchovies. The ones in olive oil can be very fishy and tinny tasting. If you must use them, use the whole can and let them drain in a colander. Then rinse them before using. I didn't have any hot cherry peppers, or I would have used them in place of the crushed red pepper. The choice is yours.
|Garlic and Anchovy Fillets - I diced the fillets smaller than they appear here.
In a large pan, warm the oil and saute the garlic a minute or two and then add the anchovies. Cook together for 2-3 minutes until the anchovies break down. Once that's done, add the can of tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes are whole, so carefully flatten them with a wooden spoon. Add salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper, and allow to simmer over medium heat until the pasta is done. The sauce will take on a nice brownish color from the anchovies.
|The finished Sauce - Note the Color. I also added a bit more olive oil at the end as the sauce looked a bit tight
Once the pasta is done, drain from the water and add to the sauce. Allow to cook a minute or two with the condimento before serving - so be sure to remove the pasta from the water just short of al dente. It'll finish cooking in the sauce. Serve immediately!
With this dinner, which featured a host of other left overs, we opened the 2008 Poliziano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. This red had the muscle and acids to stand up to the pasta and also married well with cheeses, roasted pork and escarole with beans.
In the glass, it's a dark ruby with lighter red reflections. It's not nearly the wine the 2009 is - the vintage is evident in the softer overall tones to the aromas and flavors. The cherry and strawberry notes on the nose are accented by spices. On the palate the wine is medium bodied with subtle nuances of red fruits and earth. Soft and generous, but nothing more. Not a contemplative wine, but one to wash down good food with. Solid. 86 points. About $20.
|This 2008 falls short of the delicious 2009.

Worcester, Mass.—Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator (HHMI) Melissa J. Moore, PhD, has been appointed professor of biochemistry & molecular pharmacology with tenure at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS). Dr. Moore joins the Medical School from Brandeis University where she was professor of biochemistry.
"We are so pleased to welcome Dr. Moore to the Medical School. She is a very accomplished member of a class of young investigators who have already had a substantial impact on biomedical research," said C. Robert Matthews, PhD, the Arthur F. and Helen P. Koskinas Professor and chair of Biochemistry & Molecular Pharmacology. "As an emerging leader in biomedical research, we are looking for people who ask big questions and take risks—Dr. Moore is certainly one of those scientists. She has that special talent and perseverance that will no doubt lead to major scientific breakthroughs and medical advances."
"I'm very excited about joining the UMass Medical School faculty. The UMass community is remarkably collaborative and cooperative, and I look forward to being part of that environment. It's not something you necessarily find in other schools," said Moore. "Moreover, UMass Medical School is one of the best places in the world for RNA research. I'm eager to collaborate with my new colleagues, collaborations that I hope will both broaden the impact of my work and bring my research closer to the clinic."
A native of Virginia, Moore received her BS degree in chemistry and biology from the College of William and Mary and her PhD in biological chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she also completed postdoctoral research. Moore pursued her postdoctoral research under the supervision of Phillip A. Sharp, PhD, who received the 1993 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discoveries related to gene splicing. As a postdoctoral fellow, she began working on RNA metabolism and developed a widely adopted technique for manipulating RNA molecules.
Following completion of her postdoctoral research in 1994, Moore joined Brandeis where she has since risen to the rank of professor. She was named an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in 1997.
Moore joins existing UMMS Howard Hughes Medical Investigators Michael R. Green, MD, PhD, the Lambi and Sarah Adams Chair in Genetic Research and professor of biochemistry & molecular biology and director of the Program in Gene Function & Expression; Roger J. Davis, PhD, the H. Arthur Smith Chair in Cancer Research and professor of biochemistry & molecular biology, and 2006 Nobel Laureate Craig C. Mello, PhD, the Blais University Chair in Molecular Medicine and professor of cell biology. HHMI investigators' laboratories are funded by HHMI, while the scientists retain their faculty appointments at the Medical School and continue their research. HHMI funding can reach $1 million per year in support of laboratory and research enterprises, as well as graduate student training, library resources and other needs.
Moore has been the recipient of a number of honors and accolades, including an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship, a Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral Fellowship, a Searle Scholars Award and a David and Lucile Packard Fellowship. She is a member of several professional societies including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Chemical Society, the American Society for Microbiology and the RNA Society.
The Moore lab is interested in pre-mRNA splicing and its connections to intracellular mRNA localization, translation, and degradation. Pre-mRNA splicing is the process by which incoherent sequences called introns are removed from newly made RNA transcripts (precursors to messenger RNAs or pre-mRNAs) before the resultant mRNAs can be used as blueprints to make proteins. Moore describes herself as a broad-ranging problem-oriented scientist who can't resist sticking her fingers in many pots. Research currently underway in the lab ranges from watching individual pre-mRNA molecules splice one at a time via high-resolution fluorescence microscopy, to investigating how yeast cells rid themselves of old and dysfunctional RNAs, to elucidating the mechanisms by which mammalian neurons control protein expression at synapses using mRNAs that self-destruct once they've been used to make a protein. Her research is currently funded by the HHMI and the National Institutes of Health.
About The University of Massachusetts Medical SchoolThe University of Massachusetts Medical School, one of the fastest growing academic health centers in the country, has built a reputation as a world- class research institution, consistently producing noteworthy advances in clinical and basic research. The Medical School attracts more than $174 million in research funding annually, 80% of which comes from federal funding sources. Research funding enables UMMS scientists to explore human disease from the molecular level to large-scale clinical trials. Basic and clinical research leads to new approaches for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. Visit www.umassmed.edu for additional information.

Brendan Witt has just been placed on waivers from the Long Island Fishsticks. Given the swiss cheese that currently makes up our blueline, should the Rangers consider him? Isles would pay half his salary, but is another 'veteran' (read overpaid/fragile/underperforming) really what this team needs?
TSN Comment:
Wow, Rangers should seriously consider this - 1.5 million cap hit (after re-entry) puts him below Redden, Rozsival, Gilroy, or Girardi!Plus I enjoy the idea of having the islanders pay half of his salary.
Have at it.

This Friday (April 11, 2014) Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweights Ramsey Nijem and Beneil Dariush will face off on the main card of UFC Fight Night 39, airing live on Fight Pass from du Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 13 finalist Nijem has seen mixed results during his stint with UFC. He was most recently seen defeating former welterweight Justin Edwards via unanimous decision at January's UFC Fight Night 35. Prior to that, however, he was submitted by James Vick and knocked out by Myles Jury. Nijem will have his hands full in an attempt to avoid losing three out of four.
Undefeated in mixed martial arts (MMA) at 7-0, Dariush made his Octagon debut earlier this year by submitting Charlie Brenneman at UFC Fight Night 35. The first round victory put the previously under-the-radar Dariush on the map, and he'll look to continue that momentum in Abu Dhabi.
Let's take a look at the keys to victory for Nijem vs. Dariush:
Ramsey Nijem
Record: 8-4 overall, 4-3 UFC
Key Wins: Justin Edwards (UFC Fight Night 35), Joe Proctor (UFC on FOX 5)
Key Losses: Myles Jury (UFC on FOX 7), James Vick (UFC Fight Night 26), Tony Ferguson (TUF 13 Finale)
Beneil Dariush
Record: 7-0 overall, 1-0 UFC
Key Wins: Charlie Brenneman (UFC Fight Night 35)
Key Losses: None
With two knockouts, two submissions, and four decision wins on his record, Nijem is a well-rounded fighter with a strong overall skillset rooted in his wrestling base.
However, he's shown a degree of inconsistency as of late, something that he's going to have to correct if he wants to get past a tough competitor like Dariush. Nijem is facing a proven finisher, so he has to be extremely careful. Implementing a wrestling-heavy gameplan to grind out a decision win may be his best path to victory in Abu Dhabi.
Dariush, on the other hand, can make a big statement by destroying Nijem. With five finishes in seven total bouts, you can bet Dariush will be looking to gain some followers with an explosive performance. Nijem has been finished in all four of his losses, so there's definitely a distinct possibility to gain another stoppage this Friday.
Expect Dariush to come out strong and push the pace, softening up Nijem with strikes to look for a submission on the ground.
Ramsey Nijem showed a ton of potential on TUF, but he's failed to live up to that at this point in time. While he has the skills and training to hand Dariush his first loss, the fact that he's so easily finished does not bode well for him.
Dariush is a killer who could become a force at 155 pounds. Even though he's hardly well known right now, overall I think he's far superior to Nijem. Look for Dariush to come out with a vengeance and outclass Nijem everywhere this fight goes.
Final Prediction: Dariush def. Nijem via submission

John Murdock: Finding Joy in the Gospel Despite Great Loss
John Murdock was born 15 July 1792 in New York and suffered through a mostly unhappy childhood. He often turned to private prayer for comfort during that time. He had one year of formal schooling and was self-taught otherwise. He taught school for a time but was generally a farmer. John Murdock was married to Julia Clapp and they had five children. He initially joined first the Baptists and then the Campbellites. He had become a Baptist because he wanted to be baptized by immersion, as Jesus had been baptized, but he still found himself unsatisfied with his religion. He kept searching his Bible and then looking for a church that practiced what the New Testament taught.
The Campbellites attempted to recreate the New Testament Church and that appealed to him, but like many of that sect, he became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose members are sometimes nicknamed Mormons, when it was organized. He was baptized near the end of 1830, the year the Church was organized. He had noted the scriptures about the Holy Ghost and when he met four Mormons, he decided to test their work by discovering whether or not the Spirit would testify to him of the truthfulness of their teachings. He rode twenty miles to Kirtland and that night the Spirit bore witness to him that it was true. He spoke with several recently baptized people and heard their testimonies that the Spirit had been present at their baptisms and conversions. That morning, he asked to be baptized. It was his third baptism, the first two being with the Baptists and the Campbellites, but the first time he felt the power of priesthood authority as the ordinances were performed. When he was confirmed and given the gift of the Holy Ghost, he felt that gift enter into him for the first time. Read more
Heber C. Kimball: Caring for Things of Eternity
Heber C. Kimball was born in 1801 in Vermont. In 1830 he became a Baptist, but soon after, he learned that some missionaries from a new faith, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, were visiting the home of Phineas P. Young, brother of Brigham Young. He was curious about the Mormons, as the Church's members were sometimes called, and asked to meet them. Wanting to know still more, he accompanied Phineas and Brigham and their wives as they returned to Pennsylvania. There he attended church meetings for six days and talked with local Mormons. In April, a church member visited him at his shop and Heber expressed a desire to join the Church. He was baptized in a small stream near his home. Two weeks later, his wife also chose to be baptized.
Heber immediately began missionary work and baptisms with Brigham Young and Joseph Young. Early in April, he had the opportunity to meet Joseph Smith, the president and first prophet of the Church, for the first time. He also became a member of Zion's Camp, initially organized to try to peacefully stop mob attacks on Mormons in Missouri. Many future leaders came from this volunteer group. Later, when the Camp reorganized, he became a bodyguard to Joseph Smith, whose life was in constant danger. Read more
John White Curtis, Junior: Youthful Memories of Parents, Indians, Colonizing, and Polygamy
by Delisa Hargrove
John White Curtis, Jr., (1859–1949) was born in Springville, Utah, to John White Curtis (1820–1902) and Matilda Miner (1840–1909). His parents married in 1855 in Springville, Utah, and had 14 children between 1858 and 1885. John White Curtis, Sr.'s, first wife was Elmira Starr (1815–1883). They married 1836 in Connecticut had 3 children between 1842 and 1846.
John White Curtis, Sr., joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often inadvertently called the Mormon Church) in 1832. Matilda was baptized in 1851.
Honored Mormon Pioneers
Since past history is sure to indicate the general character of future families, this history will fall short of the very vital part of my parent's lives. Nothing has been written of them until now, and I can only recall a small part of our family life. My parents were both pioneers and had to endure all the hardships of those days. Words fall short of expression of Father's nobility and manhood. He had unusual foresight, used good judgment, and was always known as a fair dealing man. Both my parents were highly esteemed and their character is worthy of study for well-directed ideals.
My mother could remember the death of the Grandfather, Edmond Durfee by a mob. How it grieved her childish heart. She told how she lay counting the stars to make herself sleep. She well remembered walking across the plains, or carrying wood miles for their evening camp. Grandmother Tamma kept a jar of dry salt-rising bread meal ready for emergency needs. When they couldn't have a fire, they had this bread to nibble on. Sometimes they soaked it in water so they might eat it. Mother often told of her white factory dressed dyed with blue. She told us of one little girl who traveled near in crossing the plains who had two pairs of shoes. When they came to thorny, rocky roads, this girl wore the best pair and let Mother wear the other until they came to better roads, then Mother trudged happily along. Mother walked across the plains when only twelve years old, and had no shoes except when the girl loaned her shoes to Mother. Read more
Remembering Iosepa: Desert Town with Polynesian Mormon Pioneers
Filed under Mormon Historical Sites
by Delisa Hargrove
When most people think of Latter-day Saint or Mormon pioneers, they think of settlers from the Eastern United States or immigrants from Europe. However, other members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often inadvertently called the Mormon Church) left their homelands to follow the Lord and His prophet as well. Polynesians responded to the prophet's call to gather to Zion in the late 1800′s.
Mormon Missionary Serving in Hawaii
Brigham Young, then president of the Church, called my great, great uncle John Anderson West to leave Parowan, Utah, to preach the gospel in the Hawaiian islands in the late 1850′s and again 14 years later. In his journal, John recorded his initial difficulty in communicating with the islanders. With divine help, he slowly learned Hawaiian. He loved the humble, hospitable people. During his first mission, missionary work progressed slowly. When he returned again in 1870, many locals converted to Mormonism.
One convert gave John a horse to use while he traversed the vast Big Island. John recorded how a recent volcanic eruption had totally wiped out villages where he had once taught the gospel and he mourned the loss of friends who perished. The converts were faithful and endured great hardship as they converted to Christianity. Read more
Jane Grover: Gift of Tongues Saved Her From Indians' Malice at Winter Quarters
Mormon Pioneer Jane Grover (1830-1873) traveled with the John Tanner family to Utah. In the summer of 1847, while camped with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint (often inadvertently called the Mormon Church), in Winter Quarters, Nebraska, Jane, 70 year old John Tanner, and three others went to gather berries. Jane recorded the harrowing and miraculous experience in her journal.
One morning we thought we would go and gather gooseberries. Father [John] Tanner harnessed a span of horses to a light wagon. And with his little granddaughter [Matilda], two Sisters Lyman [Matilda's mother and Father Tanner's daughter being one of them], and I, Father Tanner started out. When we reached the woods we told the old gentleman to go to a house which was in sight and rest while we picked the berries. It was not long before the little girl and I strayed some distance from the others, when we suddenly heard shouts. The little girl thought it was her grandfather, and she was going to answer, but I restrained her, thinking it might be Indians. We walked until within sight of Father Tanner, when we saw he was running his team around. As we approached we saw Indians gathering around the wagon, whooping and yelling as others came and joined them. When he saw us approaching, Father Tanner drove over and we got into the wagon to start, when four of the Indians took hold of the wagon wheels to stop the wagon, and two others held the horses by the bits, and another came to take me out of the wagon. I then began to be afraid, and asked Father Tanner to let me get out of the wagon and run for assistance. He said, "No, poor child, it is too late!" Read more
William Greenwood: "Heap Brave Man No Squaw"
William Greenwood (1819-1899) joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often inadvertently called the Mormon Church, in 1840 in England. His parents and all of his siblings joined the Church and immigrated to Warsaw, Illinois, where his parents and five other family members died of ague. William's granddaughter Louela White Storrs compiled this account of her grandfather's life.
William Greenwood was born March 4, 1819 in Heptonstall, Yorkshire, England, to William Greenwood I and Sarah Utley.
William I and Sarah Utley Greenwood
The elder William was a blacksmith by trade, but at an early age he got a spark in one of his eyes. In trying to doctor it, he lost the sight of both eyes, so he never saw most of his thirteen children. He and his wife Sarah, all of his children, and some of his brothers and sisters, joined the Latter-day Saint Church in England in 1840-41, and they emigrated to America. Although William I was blind, he became quite handy at doing things with his hands such as making various articles of furniture, really specializing in good bedsteads. Read more
Ann Hartley Greenwood: Faith Supersedes Poverty
Ann Hartley Greenwood (1821-1897) joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1840 in England. Her family immigrated to Illinois to join Latter-day Saints. Living conditions were so bleak that Ann convinced her husband William to return to England. Later, they returned to Illinois and eventually crossed the plains with the Saints and were called to settle a desolate land. Ann's granddaughter Louela White Storrs compiled this account of her grandmother's life.
Ann Hartley was born into the home of Bernard Hartley and Mary Beck, July 26, 1821, at Addingham, Yorkshire, England. She had two sisters, Margaret and Martha, and three brothers, Barnard who died young, Joseph, and another Barnard. Of her mother, Ann said, "She was a very good looking woman, having white pearly teeth and a rosy complexion. She was a very good manager with quite a business sense."
Her father was a clothing manufacturer near Burnley. It was customary at that time for little children to be carried to work at looms in the factories at a very early age. Ann related that she was carried on her father's shoulders as soon as she was old enough to start work. A never-to-be forgotten memory for her were the moaning cries of these little children being thus carried to work in the early morning hours. Ann grew up thus being kept busy with factory life until she became very adept at the looms, being able to handle three with the help of one little girl by the time that she was married. Read more
Nancy Elston Hammer: A Personal Account from the Haun's Mill Massacre
Austin Hammer was born May 6, 1804, in South Carolina to John and Nancy Hammer. He married Nancy Elston on September 7, 1826, in Wayne County, Indiana. Nancy Elston was born February 2, 1806, in Lexington (now Fayette) County, Kentucky, to Josiah Elston and Rebecca Lewis. Soon after their wedding they moved to Ohio, where they lived for three years, and then moved to Henry County, Indiana. Here they embraced the gospel of Jesus Christ and were baptized members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—sometimes inadvertently called the Mormon Church—in 1835. They then moved to Shoal Creek, Caldwell County, Missouri, where they had title to 180 acres of land. Austin and 16 other men were killed October 30, 1838, while guarding Haun's Grist Mill, in eastern Caldwell County, Missouri, from mobs trying to burn it down. The Hammers had 6 young children at the time. A few weeks after the massacre at Haun's Mill, the young widow took her 6 children to Pike County and then to Indiana to live with her husband's family. Nancy Hammer was anxious to return to the Latter-day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois, so a friend provided them the resources to go—and then supported them until they could take care of themselves. The family eventually made the trek across the plains to the great Rocky Mountains. Nancy Elston Hammer died October 10, 1871, in Smithfield, Cache County, Utah, faithful to her God to the end.
The following is an account of the Haun's Mill Massacre as told by Austin's widow and their son John.
A Mob Attacks
In the fall of 1838, mobs in the area were threatening to burn down the mill because it ground corn for members of The Church of Jesus Christ. "All the mills in that part of the country refused to grind for them as they were owned by the mob parties, hoping to starve them out." Because of the threats, a few of the brethren volunteered to guard the mill. This they did for several days and nights as the mob kept repeatedly threatening violence. Finally the mob leaders agreed to meet with some of the Mormons to see if they could work out a compromise. On the day appointed, a fixed number of brethren were at the mill, hoping to work out a settlement and anxious to restore peace. Read more
Erastus Snow: Boy Missionary and Faithful Leader
Erastus Snow was born November 9, 1818, in St. Johnsbury, Caledonia, Vermont. His mother was a devout Methodist, while his father was less religious. Erastus' mother raised him to believe in God. At the age of nine, he began to study the Bible seriously on his own, having a strong interest in religion. He chose to begin with a study of the life of Jesus Christ. By the time Erastus was thirteen years old, two of his older brothers, married and living away from home, had converted to Mormonism. (Mormonism is the nickname some people use to describe the belief system of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.) Mormonism had been founded not quite two years before. That year, two Mormon missionaries, Orson Pratt and Lyman Johnson, came to Erastus' home and shared a message with his family about the religion. The whole family listened with great interest, curious to know what their older sons had decided to believe. Erastus, after hearing the missionaries share their testimonies, felt the testimony of the Holy Ghost come over him and he believed their teachings. Although his mother also gained a testimony, his father did not accept their message.
Erastus Snow Becomes a Mormon
Erastus was anxious to join the church, however, so he began to pray for a way to make that happen. His mother convinced his father to let him visit his married brothers, and one of them baptized Erastus. He began studying the Bible even more, determined to become a missionary someday. In time, all but two of his siblings were baptized, as was his mother.
When he was sixteen, he was sent on a ten-day mission into Vermont. He traveled with a relative the same age. They hosted a variety of large meetings where they taught the gospel to both Mormons and those who were curious about Mormons. They were very excited about the results of this first mission trip. Later, he went on another trip that was less successful. Read more
Edmond Durfee: A Martyr for the Cause of God
Excerpts taken from Tamma Durfee Miner White's reflections of her father Edmond Durfee (1788-1845). Edmond joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often inadvertently called the "Mormon Church," in 1831. He was shot by an angry anti-Mormon mob at the Isaac Morley settlement at Green Plains, Hancock, Illinois in 1845.
My father's name was Edmund Durfee, he was born in Rhode Island on the 3rd October 1788 of Dutch decent [SIC]. My mother's name was Magdalena "Lana" Pickle and she was born 6 June 1788. Her father and mother were from Holland. I was born 6 March 1813 in Lennox, Madison County, New York and lived there until I was about nine years old when we moved to Amboy, Oswego County. Father bought some land, built him a house, made a small farm, and worked at his trade that was mostly carpenter and millwright. We lived there until the first of June 1830, father bought more land. There were lots of maple trees. Then father wanted to go West so he sold his sugar bush and farm and started for the south of Ohio. We went through Camden Village to the canal, went on the canal to Buffalo, we went to Briggles (Ruggles) in Huron County. Read more

Harriett Lake: We should all have her sense of humor, and at least a sliver of her generosity. Each year Lake gives in the neighborhood of $1.5 million to a variety of charities, many of them aiding kids and the arts. And get this: Each year she goes to a local Walmart and pays off the toys that are on layaway. Imagine the joy of struggling parents who learn a guardian angel is watching out for them. We were awash in nominations for Lake, a testimony to the Wizard of Oz's observation that "a heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others." At 90, she's one of Central Florida's enduring treasures.

Often, two of something is looked upon favorably: a second helping of mashed potatoes, scoring a free bag of previously stuck chips in the vending machine and buy-one-get-one-free deals are all good things. However, when it comes to a team putting two of its starting outfielders on the disabled list in one day, well, that's not a good thing,
The Red Sox placed Jacoby Ellsbury on the disabled list Tuesday afternoon. He is eligible to rejoin the team in one week, according to MLB.com's Ian Browne. This moves comes just a few hours after center fielder Mike Cameron landed on the DL, too.
Ellsbury hasn't played due to a rib injury since colliding with Adrian Beltre on April 11. He took batting practice today, and couldn't swing without pain.
Outfielder Darnell McDonald has been called up from Triple-A Pawtucket and is already in the Red Sox clubhouse.

Fight week, blog week!
Or, as it's known around these parts, the "Nick the Tooth" show. Yup, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White's bosom buddy is back and doing sort of a Jackass-lite type of stunt by zip-lining into White's pool -- which just so happens to be 37 degrees.
White also takes his cameras behind-the-scenes at the recent World MMA Awards before heading to Montreal for this week's UFC 158 pre-fight press conference, featuring UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre and division number one contender Nick Diaz.
See it all unfold right here.
What's that got to do with UFC on FOX 6, which takes place this weekend (Sat., Jan. 26, 2013) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois? Well, not much, but White and Co. finish things up in the "Windy City" at yesterday's presser for the "Johnson vs. Dodson" event.
Missed it? Catch the replay here.
That's it for this series of video blogs, but with UFC 156: "Aldo vs. Edgar" just around the corner, expect a fresh batch as early as next week.
Until then...

Volunteers clean up Fairfield creek noted for crime
FAIRFIELD, Ohio - The community of Fairfield and beyond worked together to prevent future crime in a Fairfield Creek near Brookfield Drive.
The effort is something Community Services Officer for Fairfield Police Doug Day has worked towards for awhile.
"Twenty years ago when I came on, it was kids hanging out vandalizing, had drug abuse going on, now we have homicides and that's unacceptable," Day said.
Homicides took the lives of two teens this year.
In April, Chelsea Johnson, 15, was found in the creek with stab wounds.
More recently at the end of August, Joseph Oakley, 19, was found in the creek with gunshot wounds.
Police still don't know who's responsible for Johnson and Oakley's deaths.
Around 75 volunteers cleared brush from a half mile of the creek.
"Once this place gets occupied, the people living here would have a view down into the creek so people can't hang out down here without being seen," Day said.
Volunteer Sam Conrad traveled all the way from Erlanger to use his construction skills and make a difference.
"It makes me feel real good, because for a long time, I was on the other end of the shoe, and now I guess that's another reason why I'm trying to help out," Conrad said. "I've been there done that."
Conrad believes it is important to spread the word that violence is not the answer.
"You miss out on so much, your kids, life, you could have so much better of a life," Conrad said. "If you try, one day is all you gotta do at one time."
On Monday, city trucks will haul the branches away, turning them into mulch.

Premolars are just as their name indicates; located before the molars. The are considered transitional teeth, guiding food from the cuspids back to the molars for chewing. Humans have eight premolars, two in each dental quadrant. The first premolar arrives around age nine, with the second premolar following around age ten.
The anatomy of a premolar is similar to that of the first and second molars, although they are considerably smaller in comparison. Premolars have one to two roots firmly implanted in the bone for stabilization.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead attended the 'Alex of Venice' premiere during the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival held at SVA Theater on Friday (April 18) in New York City.
The actress wore a Vionnet Spring 2014 bright orange knit dress with a pointy collar and back cut out which she styled with black-and-gold accessories including a Gucci studded clutch and top-cap slingbacks plus a gold cuff.
While I'm not a huge fan of the dress itself, even though it gives her a streamline silhouette, I do really like the styling of this look which could've been muted with nude pumps.

Abstract—Freedom from deadlock is a key issue in Cut-Through, Wormhole, and Store and Forward networks, and such freedom is usually obtained through careful design of the routing algorithm. Most existing deadlock-free routing methods for irregular topologies do, however, impose severe limitations on the available routing paths. We present a method called Layered Routing, which gives rise to a series of routing algorithms, some of which perform considerably better than previous ones. Our method groups virtual channels into network layers and to each layer it assigns a limited set of source/destination address pairs. This separation of traffic yields a significant increase in routing efficiency. We show how the method can be used to improve the performance of irregular networks, both through load balancing and by guaranteeing shortest-path routing. The method is simple to implement, and its application does not require any features in the switches other than the existence of a modest number of virtual channels. The performance of the approach is evaluated through extensive experiments within three classes of technologies. These experiments reveal a need for virtual channels as well as an improvement in throughput for each technology class.

Fun, but. . .
I'm sure a lot of people say that the controls for the game suck and are too touchy. I agree, but the game is still fun. It takes steady fingers to play this game and win. Too bad my hands shake.
Rated 5 / 5 stars October 10, 2009
I love this game.
Can't wait for it on the wii, I think its coming out for the PC, right?
Rated 5 / 5 stars October 10, 2009
One of my favorite Newgrounds games
I really enjoyed this game and the simplicity of it as well.
The levels were nice and challenging and the simple collectables (Band-aids) added to the fun to unlock secret characters to play as during the game and the real ending as well.
I couldn't say anything bad about this game at all, and I am looking forward to it's WiiWare launch.
Rated 5 / 5 stars October 9, 2009
Another one from Eddy!
The only problem is that the controls feel a little slippery.
I dunno if that was the way you WANTED it to turn out, but never the less, I'm definitely getting Super Meat Boy on Wii Ware.
Just don't fuck up with the controls, i'm afraid the wii-mote will just make it MORE slippery.

(ABC News)--Mitt Romney didn't really want to win, his son Tagg Romney claims in a recent interview.
"He wanted to be president less than anyone I've met in my life," Tagg Romney told the Boston Globe. "If he could have found someone else to take his place . . . he would have been ecstatic to step aside."
The oldest Romney son said his father is a "private person" who wanted to help put the country back on its feet, but hated the limelight that came with presidential politics.
Tagg Romney told the newspaper that he and his mother Ann had to convince Mitt Romney to run for the presidency.
Since his November defeat, Romney's November loss to President Obama has been attributed to many things including a huge turnout of minority voters, a decline in white male voters, a boost in Obama's approval rating, Romney's 47 percent comment. But Romney's desire, the proverbial "fire in the belly," had never been questioned.
Between the 2008 and 2012 primaries, the Massachusetts governor spent almost $42.5 million of his own cash just to win the Republican nomination. And this year's run was the second attempt by Romney to win the White House.
Now that the election is over Romney has become a very private person again. His Nov. 29 White House lunch with Obama was his only public appearance in Washington since the election.
William Crotty, author of the book "Winning the Presidency 2008," said he could understand both aspects of Romney's run.
Crotty served as Director of the Center for the Study of Democracy at Northeastern University from 1998-2008, both before and after Romney's term as governor of Massachusetts.
Romney, Crotty said, is "very bright" and "most of all ambitious," but he has no love for politics.
"Clearly he did want to be president," Crotty told ABC News, "but I can see what they're saying."
"What drives the president is not necessarily what makes them most comfortable."

round 1890, John Kelsey, Heck Miller and Dan Hayter stumbled onto a cave at the top of Mount Konocti while hunting deer. They climbed down into the cave entrance, and about 60 feet down a passage, they found a vertical shaft in the floor. They threw rocks down this shaft, but could not hear them hit bottom.
he cave has been visited many times since then, and numerous methods have been employed in attempts to determine the depth of the hole. A large rock was rolled to the hole and dropped down, but was never heard to hit bottom. A disolate soaked bundle of gunny sacks was set ablaze and dropped down, but never seen to hit bottom. An 1100 foot ball of string with a rock tied to it was lowered, still no bottom. To this day, there is no record that the bottom has ever been found.
ometime between 1974 and 1980 the inner passage collapsed about fifteen feet back from the entrance, and the vertical shaft has not been seen since. With the passage of time, and the years of heavy growth of foliage, the cave and vent were forgotten. Until 1990, when a couple of hikers rediscovered the cave in the very heavy underbrush and reported their find.
n exploration team was formed by Robert Zalusky and Norm Lehrman, to reopen the cave and to find and measure the vertical lava tube. Their team of volunteers has been combing Mt. Konocti for over 20 years in search of the hidden entrances to the mountain, and in pursuit of their dream of proving the existence of the legendary massive cavern where the molten lava drained from the inside of the mountain, and the lake inside this cavern where the "blind fish" live, and to preserve the Indian Heritage that lies within and about this most sacred and mysterious mountain. It is quite likely that this cavern will prove to be the largest cavern ever discovered in the world.
he journal entries of Robert Zulasky tell a most bittersweet saga of these more than 20 years of successes and failures, their boundless dedication and respect, the overwhelming support of so many professionals, and the heartbreaking set-backs caused by the few that have opposed the project.
lthough at the time of this writing, I have yet to meet Mr. Zulasky in person, as the author of this website, I spent well over two hundred hours transcribing these journal entries, and I must admit that many times I found myself jumping out of my chair with the joy that I could feel with Bob's successes. I found myself in tears over the heartbreaking set-backs. At times, I was filled with rage, other times I felt every bit as discouraged as Bob must have felt; and other times, simply melancholy. His pages came to life with stories of opponents not only becoming allies, but becoming dear friends to Bob and his wife Lorraine, and I shared in his grief at their passing.
he story of the Konocti Project is much more than a scientific study of a mountian, it is the story of real people sharing real dreams.

A frost free leaky outdoor faucet, or spigot, is not just annoying; it can
cost you a small fortune in water bills if left unchecked. In addition, a leaky
outdoor faucet can also cause damage to your home and yard.
Fortunately, for even a novice do-it-yourselfer, a leaky outdoor faucet can
be frequently fixed with just a few basic tools and about 30 minutes of time,
saving you a small bundle in otherwise plumber repair costs.
The first thing you need to do is to determine where the outdoor
faucet leak is coming from.
First check to see if the leak is occurring around the top cap that
sits just back behind the handle. Inevitably this cap becomes loose on
frost free outdoor faucets and all you need to do is simply tighten it
back up using your hand. Overtime this cap becomes loose due to changes
in seasonal temperatures or simply from frequent use of the faucet.
Next, check to see if it is leaking directly out the spout itself.
If the leak is occurring from the faucet spout, even after you have
confirmed the handle is fully turned to the closed position, then chances
are there is a failed washer sitting back behind the faucet handle.
To replace the washer, first turn the water off to the outdoor faucet.
Usually the shut off valve to the outdoor spigot can be found inside the
home, for example in a utility room just behind the outdoor faucet. The shut
off valve may also be located in the basement.
Now, using a screwdriver remove the screw that holds the handle onto the
With the screw removed, pull the handle off.
After removing the faucet handle, use a wrench to remove the faucet nut
that sits back behind the handle.
Typically it is the washer that sits behind the faucet nut (sillcock nut)
that fails. Remove it with your fingers or small screw driver and examine it
for damage or wear. If you see either, replace the washer. Also, make sure
the internal faucet (sillcock) is free from dirt and grime. If there is
grime in it, flush it out with water.
Once you have replaced the washer and the internal faucet area is free of
any grit, reattach the faucet nut cap, the handle, and the screw that holds
the handle onto the faucet.

Test Repaired Outdoor Faucet
Turn the water back on at the valve within the basement or utility room
to the outdoor faucet and observe water flowing freely from the faucet.
Turn the handle to the off position. If the washer or grit was the
problem the leak should no longer be present.
Note that with a frost free outdoor water
faucet, the actual shutoff valve sits far back into the faucet / sillcock
pipe, (approximately 8 inches), so do not be surprised to see a few drips of
water initially after shutting off the faucet. After a few minutes, however,
you should see no more drips. With that your leaky outdoor faucet is a thing
of the past!

A Lot of Brass:
The 48th Annual Jazz Festival
Brings Triumph Galore
Gaiser Hall was swinging Jan. 28-30, as 60 jazz bands from high schools throughout Washington and Oregon competed in the 48th annual Clark College Jazz Festival.
More than 2,500 jazz fans turned out to enjoy competitive performances by jazz bands ranging from Division A to Division AAAA.
Music professor and festival director Richard Inouye credited Clark College music students for the success of this year's program, noting that they worked more than 600 volunteer hours to make the event possible.
"This year I really gave my students the autonomy to run the logistics of the festival, and they rose to the challenge," he says. "I have to say it ran just flawlessly."
The Clark College Jazz Ensemble premiered "Baked in the Cake," a contemporary swing piece written specifically for this group by Washington State University Pullman's coordinator of jazz studies, Greg Yasinitsky.
"They worked so hard on it," says Inouye of the ensemble members. "They were very excited to play it and showcase it, especially since many of
the high schools represented were schools they had graduated from, so they were playing it for their peers."
During the day, groups performed before judges, hoping to earn a spot in the evening's roster of winners' performances. On the final evening of the festival, the festival's top-ranked band – Seattle's Garfield High School – received the coveted Sweepstakes Trophy, which was presented by Clark College President Robert K. Knight (above).
Inouye noted that, at a time when many schools have had to cut their budgets for elective classes like music, the festival had six bands on its waiting list for the 60 available performance slots. He called the festival a testament to the ongoing importance of music education – and to the Clark College community.
"The thing I want to give a 'shout out' to most is what a Clark College community effort this thing is," he says. "That's what I notice every year: how everyone from the college comes out and supports this."
A list of festival winners is available in the February 1, 2010 issue of Clark 24/7.

I'm back from Lightfair International, an experience that has left me musing about the weird pace of change in this business — in other words, the time lag that exists between announcement and reality.
This became obvious when I saw the Hubbell booth. Hubbell Entertainment showed its new range, which has earned very good buzz. Several LDs have spec'd Hubbell gear in new projects. Then, I remembered Hubbell Entertainment's debut at LDI 2001; the entire line of products was announced, then disappeared from sight for nearly two years. During that time, a number of people came and went from Hubbell Entertainment (and one, Harvey Hazelwood, died, far too soon, at the age of 60). The good news is, the products are out. But, to me, it's a strange way of doing business.
I don't mean to single out Hubbell, because everybody — and I mean everybody — does this. A year ago, at SIB, I saw the new Martin Maxxyz console, which got plenty of interest. It also garnered interest at PLASA and LDI. A week or two ago, I got a press release about a beta version. And let's not even talk about High End Systems' Wholehog® III, which was announced and announced before finally being released. Then again, some products just vanish — think of PRG's Icon M, which dazzled showgoers a few LDIs back, then never made it to market.
There's a time lag in ideas, too. For example, the buzz at Lightfair this year was the omnipresence of LEDs. Listening to people talk, I began to feel that I was lost among members of a religious cult. Will LEDs really cut power usage, save billions of dollars, save the planet, and make the lightbulb obsolete? Maybe, probably, but really, things don't seem to be any further along from last year, when we first heard that LEDs were going to take over the world. In fact, a number of LDs were frankly skeptical. People are still waiting for that breakout product.
There are good reasons for this. These products are complex and require much tweaking to get right. Companies often use product launches to get customer feedback, then it's back to the factory for changes; it's like an out-of-town tryout for a Broadway musical — you show it off to find out what works and what doesn't. But sometimes it can be a little frustrating. We here at LD are always interested in finding The Next Big Thing, as, I suspect, are most designers. I guess we have to get used to living in a time warp. The future is always happening, yet it always seems just out of reach.

I do not like the cold. Not. At. All. This is probably because my fingers turn purple as soon as the temps drop below 70 degrees and, for most of Winter, I cannot feel my feet. I've been skiing once, and it was in the middle of a storm. Bad idea. Big. Huge. The second I walked out those doors onto the mountain I immediately lost all feeling in all of my extremities, my nose, and my ears.
The only time I'm not cold? During the night. No, during the night I transform from an ice cube into hot lava, the core of the earth. My husband has affectionately nicknamed me his "little heater" during the night. It's the kind of heat that makes you get up from bed to cool off…only to be followed by being frozen from the cold air in the room.
I know it's the middle of Winter and ice cream is something one shouldn't crave. But I do, often. Of course, I hold the bowl with gloves on, but I still eat it.
{I joke…but I've thought about it.}
Eating ice cream in the middle of the night isn't acceptable…but I've thought about that too. It would certainly cool me off.
What better ice cream to eat in January when it's dark and dreary outside? Lemon! Yellow and pretty and it makes you think of Spring.
{Although I kind of don't want Spring to get here. That means Summer is around the corner and my A/C bill…*shudder*}
I received two huge bags of lemons over Christmas. One bag was, I think, Meyer lemons. Ohmigod those smell gooooood.
I've been craving lemon ice cream for awhile. It seems almost a contradictory flavor, all that dairy with the tartness of the lemon. But the sweetness from the ice cream is a wonderful combination with the lemon flavor.
I made this the "easy" way without an ice cream maker. I used a can of sweetened condensed milk and a container of Cool Whip. Normally, this kind of ice cream is done with whipping cream, but Cool Whip is easier, the extra sweetness pairs really well with the lemon, and I can make it fat-free. Really! It's skinny ice cream!
Fat-free sweetened condensed milk, fat-free Cool Whip, and lemon. So, so easy. And so, so good.
A perfect way to cool off during those hot
flash moments!
- 1 can fat-free sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 1 container fat-free Cool Whip (8 ounces)
- 1 large lemon, zested and juiced (or two smaller, mine was a huge Meyer lemon)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- Stir together sweetened condensed milk and cool whip in a large tupperware container. Stir in the zest and juice from 1 lemon (I used a Meyer lemon, if yours is a small or regular lemon, you may want to use two) and the extract (this is optional, but I wanted an extra punch of lemon flavor).
- Stir until mixed and freeze until hardened, at least 6 hours or overnight.
You can use 2 cups of cold heavy whipping cream, whipped until stiff peaks form, in place of the Cool Whip if you'd rather.

LaQuisha Jackson and Deyna Roberson will each be running the 400 meters, and Ellie Fanaika (weight throw), Brittany Gonter (shot put), Kelsy Hintz (pole vault), Carrington Mahr (high jump), Karen Snapper (pole vault), Shanieka Thomas (triple jump) and Holly Waseloff (pole vault) will look to post impressive marks in the field events.
Various Aztecs could run in the 200 and be a member of the 4x400-meter relay as well.
San Diego State is coming off another solid weekend at the New Mexico Classic, led by Thomas, who won the triple jump in a leap of 44 feet, 4 inches (13.51 meters). The mark is the best in the country this season, the second-best indoor mark in school history and easily beat runner-up Toni Smith, who was the only other competitor to break 13 meters (42-09.00). She also was fifth in the long jump (18-05.25/5.62m) and sixth in the 400 (56.85). For her efforts, Thomas was named the Mountain West Women's Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week for a second straight opportunity.
Brown continued to shine in her first season donning the Scarlet and Black as she posted all-time top-10 marks in both the 60-meter hurdles and the pole vault. Brown, a Virginia Tech transfer, ran the fastest 60-hurdle prelim time of 8.40 seconds and ended up finishing second in the finals in 8.41. The prelim time of 8.40 is the fourth-fastest time in program history.
Brown also led a group of three Aztec pole vaulters who set or tied all-time top 10 marks after taking second in 13-07.25 (4.15m). It was the fifth best in school history. Hintz finished sixth in the event at 12-11.50 (3.95m), while Waseloff and Snapper finished seventh and eighth, respectively, at 12-07.50 (3.85m), a mark which tied for ninth all-time at SDSU.
Jackson made the record books as she was fourth out of 37 in the 400 in 55.92. That was good for the ninth-fastest indoor 400 in program history.
Oudenaarden, meanwhile, won the long jump in 19-00.75 (No. 8 all-time at SDSU) and Mikayla Howden was 11th in the weight throw in 49-10.00 (No. 8 all-time at SDSU).
