SSC sold
Private, anti-terrorism firm given 30 days to seal deal
By 01/09/2003 00:00:00
The Ellis County Press
ELLIS COUNTY - The county-owned Superconducting Super Collider property has reportedly been sold for $8.5 million.
A special meeting was called by the Ellis County Commissioners Court Tuesday, Dec. 31 to seal the deal with ProTac Global, a private anti-terrorism training firm, and its parent company, Mensaur Inc.
ProTac officials announced their intentions to buy the property last year, and a deal was reported to have been reached in June, according to a local daily newspaper.
Joe Grubbs, county attorney, said a 30-day period would allow the firm to finalize all the monetary transactions.
If the firm cannot agree to the terms within the allotted time frame, the sale, according to Commissioner Ron Brown and Treasurer Ron Langenheder, becomes void.
The decision to sell the property once intended to study the origin of the universe caused an uproar among citizens, who said the SSC buildings could be used for additional jail space or office buildings.
'That building could have been used for so many things,' said Brown, who also noted his approval for the deal - as long as the price was right. 'Hard to turn down $8.5 million. If we turned back the clock, $8.5 wouldn't have been enough. But after spending $10 million on the [jail, justice center], $8.5 [million] sounds good.'
Commissioners, excluding Brown, backpedaled on the idea of turning the SSC into jail space, and after issuing $18 million worth of tax notes to construct government buildings residents didn't want, the county attempted to sell its assets, including the 440-acre county farm, whose sale is also being discussed.
The jail and justice center have been plagued by extensive mold and water damage, and both were built using the same general contractor.
ProTac President Ron Reid said last year his firm plans to convert underground tunnels into gun ranges and have mock disaster training scenarios built for local, state and federal law enforcement agents.
The local economy could generate a boost due to the fact many of the anticipated agencies will have personnel eat, lodge and shop in the county, according to Reid and ex-County Judge Al Cornelius.
The federal government halted spending on the $12 billion boondoggle in the early 90s, with pieces of the property being distributed back to state and county officials. Cornelius sought the return of the SSC back to the county and was also opposed to turning the facility into future office, jail space.

The BFI London Film Festival wraps up this week after two weeks of films from all over the world. The BFI Festival is not necessarily a critical stop on the festival circuit like Cannes, Toronto or Sundance. But, the consistent brilliance of the British film industry and London's role as a world capital ensure that the BFI festival is filled with important films from around the world. Many of the more popular films were bigger budget, English language selections featuring famous actors and directors. The American, Conviction, Black Swan, The King's Speech, and Blue Valentine all featured Oscar nominees looking for another go this year. The opening night film, Never Let Me Go, starring Kiera Knightly, was directed by Mark Romanoff, who participated in a very candid Screen Talk my first night in town. He explained how he moved from a highly regarded music video career into the feature film world. Other stand outs included the controversial punk Muslim feature, The Taqwacores, based on the novel credited with creating a sub-culture throughout the Middle East; Heartbeats, by 21 year old French Canadian auteur Xavier Dolan; The Tillman Story, a shocking indictment of US war propaganda led by the family of the man being touted as a national hero; and, Revolucion, a collection of short films by famous Mexican directors and actors to commemorate the 100 anniversary of the Mexican Revolution. The range of stories was stunning and actors Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal from Y Tu Mama Tambien proved as effective behind the camera as in front. My wildest experience was at the screening of Smash His Camera which was attended by Oscar and Sundance winning director Leon Cast. As luck would have it, I was sat next to the subject of the film, renowned paparazzi photographer Ron Galella, who provided a running commentary throughout the film. As someone who was punched by Marlon Brando and sued by Jackie Onassis, he had plenty to say. It was like a live version of a DVD commentary track. Otherwise, I spent most of my time at industry screenings watching awesome documentaries and foreign films and meeting foreign distributors and sales people. As deadCENTER Film moves into our second decade, we are committed to seeking out the very best movies from around the globe and luring them back to Oklahoma: the deadCENTER of the universe.

Why I choose talaqqi?
بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِA : Kalu belajar kitab2 agama dgn guru2 ni mcm talaqqi ni, lmbt dan lapuk gaya tu. Cth bidang medic la, kalu nak cari info utk report ke, pbl ke, pakai Google ja terus keluar berderet2 maklumat nak tau.
B: Hmm, aku separuh setuju ttg cth ko bg pasal medic, tp ak x setuju pendapat ko ttg kitab2 agama.
1) Cuba ko bygkan dlm dunia kita ni penuh dgn anasir2 pelik, cthnya philosophy secularism, syiah, ajaran2 sesat, berita2 palsu, fitnah sana sini dan byk lg, rasa2 mana lg selamat kalu tanya Google yg siapa2 ja buleh tulis ttg apa2 dgn tanya dan belajar ilmu2 AGAMA dgn guru2 yg ambil ilmu satu persatu dr guru sebelumnya hingga berulang2 sampai ke Rasulullah sallallahu 'alai wassalam?
2) About medical stuff, even our doctors always remind us if we want to take any sources from the internet, make sure it's medical website that have been recommended. Not some random blogs or websites even wikipedia. One of our doctors said "Come on,you're a medical student, it's a big shame when u have bundle of medical resources that u can get from the library but u use wiki that's meant for lay people".
Majalah Q&A. One of the best magazine that explains about Islam.
A : Haha, terabuq ang speaking English naa. Jap, ak x paham ttg mksd ko "tanya Google yg siapa2 ja buleh tulis ttg apa2". cmne tu? About medical stuff, yeah, couldnt agree more than that. Asyik ak ja kalah cakap dgn ko.haha.
B: Ak bg ang analogi senang, cth, ang x tau cmna nak solat jama' la kan, pastu ang p cari sapa2 hat ang jumpa tepi jalan pastu ang tanya ttg solat jama'. Dia jawab "Rasa2nya lah kan, ak rasa lah x tau betul ke x, ko kene buat cmni n cmni." Pastu, ang ikut apa dia kata yg 'rasa2' tu. Ang rasa mcm oke ke x kalu lagu tu?
A: Uish, mane buleh bro. Nmpak sgt was2 tu.
B: Tu la mksd ak. Kata Imam Malik bin Anas ra : "Sesungguhnya ilmu ini merupakan agama. Maka, lihatlah dengan siapa kamu mengambil agama kamu. Sesungguhnya aku telah bertemu dengan 70 orang di Masjid Nabi ini, yang menyatakan telah berkata fulan bahawa Rasulullah salallahualaihiwassalam bersabda (menyampaikan hadis). Sesungguhnya jika salah seorang daripada mereka itu diamanahkan untuk menjaga Baitulmal, nescaya dia ialah orang yang amanah, namun aku tidak mengambil sesuatu pun (hadith) daripada mereka kerana mereka bukanlah ahli dalam bidang ini (hadith). Tetapi apabila datang kepada kami Muhammad bin Muslim bin Syihab Az-Zuhri walaupun dia masih muda maka kami bersesak-sesak ke pintu rumahnya (untuk belajar hadith) !"
B: Uish, tapi payah la kalu nak tanya apa2 kemusykilan bro. Ak duk hadap buku medic tu x habis2. X sempat nak tanya Ustaz. Ak sokmo tanya Ustaz Azhar Idrus ikut FB ja. Ala yg Koleksi Printscreen Soal Jawab Ustaz Azhar Idrus ( Original ) 2.
Al Fadhil Ustaz Azhar Idrus. I believe u know him, right?
A: Kalu ang nak tanya menda2 ang dah tau sejak kecik tp x pasti, buleh la tanya Ustaz2 yg dah blajaq dr guru2 yg bersanad ni. Buleh ja ang nak tanya thru Fb or sms, asalkan org yg ang tanya tu, org yg dipercayai ada ilmu, jgn duk search ja cari jawapan dr ntah sapa2 ntah. Tp, kalu ang nak blaja satu ilmu agama utk amal dan sebagainya, lebih baik ang blaja dgn org yg betul2 ilmunya dr guru yg benar. Ala, mcm medical student nak blaja cmne nak bedah jantung, nak buat colonoscopy etc, mesti belajar dr doktor yg dah belajar dr doktor2 sebelumnya, xkan ang nak blaja dgn abg jaga mayat kat museum tu.Haha.
One of the Kitab, Bidayatul Hidayah. credit to Ukh Insyirah Hafizah.
B: Hmm, makes sense gak ape ko kate. Tp kan, kalau ak baca ja buku2 yg sebijik same mmg copy paste abis mcm buku2 yg guru2 talaqqi ajar x buleh ka? Xdak masa nak p talaqqi ni.
A: Kalu mcm tu,start esok kita x yah p lecture Prof Nasa dan Prof Naznin lah.
B: Uish, apa kaitan tiba2 nak ponteng kelas Prof Nasa, bro? Gile ape.
Prof. Dr. Hj. Nasuruddin B.Hj. Abdullah. Our lecturer. Immunologist expert. (Kanan skali dlm gambar)
A: Ala, kita kan ada buku Mama Robbin dan buku photostat slide Prof Nasa 2. Kita baca ja sampai habis, pastu, kite p masuk exam hall dan score dpt distinction. Amacam?
B: Haha, lawaknye lawak ang. Ak tau la ang GENIUS LEGEND tp mane buleh nak baca buku ja pastu nak score distinction plak tu. Lagipun, dlm buku Robbin tu, ntah ape2 ak pon x paham. Buku slide Prof Nasa tu pon, ada campur2 gambar pelik2. Ak nak dgr lecture Prof Nasa, br paham. Siap ada selingan lawak jenaka lg.
A: Oit2, ak barely passed je kot Block 1. Ang xyah nak kerap perli ak naa. Tu la mksd ak, cube ko bayangkan blaja AGAMA gune buku ja, kompem2 la x paham, kalu paham pon, lebih byk salah paham dr betul pahamnya.
Kalu blaja gune buku ja, baek ak kuar UIA, bace buku kat rumah, pastu, kuar2 g bedah org. Oke x?
B: Haha, ang x payah nak jadi John Jigsaw sgt la kan. ye2, ak paham. tp, lambat la blaja kitab ikut talaqqi ni. lgpun, talaqqi sekali seminggu ja, tu pun smpat pergi.
A: Perkara penting ang kena paham, kita bukan nak bertalaqqi sbb nak blaja beratus2 kitab yg ada dan jadi ahli hadits ka, ahli fiqah ka. Kita dtg sini nak jadi doktor, so, kompem2 kena utamakan blaja medic yg lecture dr pukul 7 pg sampai 4 ptg 5 hari seminggu nuh. Tp, p talaqqi tiap2 minggu cth talaqqi Ustaz Mustaffa Kamal kat CF Bro tu, sekurang2nya kita ni dpt peringatan setelah asyik leka dgn dunia, dpt dgr mutiara2 ilmu dan dekatkan diri dgn ulama', belajar adab dan akhlak yg mulia. Kita belajaq sikit2 ja, biaq lmbt. Yg penting usaha kita yg Allah tgk, bukan end of the result. Tp, kalu ang buleh jd macam Syeikh Dr Yusri Rushdi al Hasani. That's the best. Tafaddol.
B: Sapa Syeikh Dr Yusri Rushdi tu?
Syeikh Dr Yusri Rushdi al Hasani. credit to Bunyamin
A: Dia Head of Surgey kat Cairo. Kira doktor la. Surgery Specialist. Tp, dia ajar gak Hadith kat al Azhar, cth kitab2 dia ajar, Sahih al-Bukhari, Sunan Abi Dawud, al-Muwatto',Syamail Muhammadiah,Hikam ibnu 'Ato'illah,Hasyiah Baijuri etc.
B: Tu mmg hebat betol tu, ambe distinction pon x lepaih.haha. Trimas naa, pandangan ak sedikit sebanyak berubah ttg talaqqi ni. Betul2, buleh doh ak mai talaqqi next week. Kat mana ang cakap td, CF Bro? Tp, segan la sume duk pakai serban jubah blaka. Ak pakai suar jeans ja kot.

A : Haah, CF Bro. Ustaz Mustaffal Kamal. Kalu ang nak p, sudi2kan lah tumpang ak dgn keta BMW ang, ak xdak transport. haha. Alah, x yah nak segan lah. Dorg sama ja mcm kita. Nak belajaq. Diorang sume tu cuma nak amalkan sunnah Nabi sbb cinta mereka pada Nabi sallallahu 'alai wassalam. Kita pakai tutup aurat pon oke. xdak la Ustaz nak halau tiba2. haha. btw, hari ni Jumaat, bro. Kerap2 la selawat ke atas Rasulullah Muhammad sallallahu 'alai wassalam. Bukan payah pon, guna mulut ja.
B : Kerap perli Kancil ak. haha. buleh2. Incha Allah.
So, what's 'Talaqqi'?
"Talaqi bermaksud perjumpaan atau pertemuan, Tetapi dalam hal ini talaqi bermaksud pengajian ilmu Islam yang disampaikan secara dari guru kepada anak murid secara berdepan dan bil musyafahah (dari mulut ke mulut). Pengajian talaqi ini merupakan satu juzuk dari sunnah Rasulullah apabila Rasulullah menerima wahyu dari Jibril, dan menghafal wahyu tersebut terus dari Jibril. Dalam sesetengah riwayat menyebut Jibril mengarahkan nabi agar tidak tergopoh-gapah dalam menghafaz wahyu. Kaedah pengajian sebegini diteruskan sehingga ke hari ini kerana peraliran ilmu dan pencerahan kitab ulama' yang muktabar disampaikan secara bersanad (dari guru ke guru) sekaligus memelihara keaslian ilmu dan makna penulis kitab tersebut."

Early Marriage. WHY?
بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Salam and Happy Sunday!
WARNING : This post is intentionally for anyone who supports or wants to get married at young age especially IIUM students.Yes. Early Marriage.
Take note : Most of the IIUM students don't come from Islamic background. For them, coupling before married is a natural thing and they didn't know coupling before nikah is forbidden in Islam before admitting into IIUM.
After they admit into IIUM, they are exposed with the idea that coupling before nikah is forbidden and generally, they understand and know why it's forbidden. Then, they will replace coupling idea with the better idea that is allowed in Islam. Yess, it's a marriage or specifically early marriage.
Basically, they understand that early marriage provides many advantanges in spiritual, social, religious, academically aspects etc. In Islam, there are many hadith (Prophet's sayings) that highlight its advantage and it's recommended in Islam to get married. I don't want to point all those advantages out because I assume many of us know or heard about it. Maybe you can refer in ILuvIslam.com if you don't know.Don't get wrong idea, I fully support this early marriage idea.
Have you ever heard or meet the early young married couple have many problems after getting married for example, their academic performance is getting worse, social and financial problems or worst case scenario, they get divorced?
The main point is before getting married, some of them put the marriage solely as MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THEIR LIFE! I mean as an ABSOLUTE OBJECTIVE! Maybe, many of us didn't realize this because we are consumed with early marriage advantages plus the natural desire to have someone special to live together. (Both of these is not the bad thing, dont get me wrong). Subconciously, they put this as ABSOLUTE objective of their life. Yet, for me, this idea is completely WRONG. The ABSOLUTE OBJECTIVE in Islam is for HEREAFTER. For Allah s.w t.
Marriage is just one of the complementary thing to strengthen our effort and way to achieve true absolute objective.
The person that puts marriage as an absolute objective is analogically like a sprinter that MUST run 400 metres on track to get to the FINISH LINE but he puts the target at 100 metres only. He will run as fast as he can until 100 metres. Then, after 100 metres, he will burn out and assume he already win and race is end. Maybe he will stop and take a nap at 100 metres line while other sprinters run untill the true finish line.The truth is, he must make it to Finish Line that's 300 metres away to go. He's a loser. Geddit?
I guess the main point is I want to make sure you need to know why you want to do something. Even, you want to get married after graduating or while working, without realizing the true objective in marriage or prioritize what is more important, you will face many problems too.
I just want to point this out to make it clear my friend, MARRIAGE is a part of process in our life not true objective! That's all!
p/s: Tomorrow is Minitest. Please pray for me :))

Age and Maturity.
بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Salam and should I say 'Hi' too? Long time no see eh?
Alhamdulillah, today is the day of NINTEEN YEARS I live in this complicated and interesting world. There's a lil bit confusion about my real birthday bcoz in FB, I put my bday on 28th October but,the real one is 29th October. Only some of my friends remember it well ! Yeah, it's today.haha. Nevermind, who cares and I don't care.. The difference is only ONE day.
Typical way to start the post with a question: Have you ever heard the older the people, more matured they are?
Ya, I know. Many people stick to this one "Old people is mature people". I agree old people have more experience than younger one but when it comes to maturity, I guess it's not suitable to say that.
Maturity is not about you have more experience than others. It's not about you know better than others. Maturity is all about how to deal with complicated knowledge and experience that you get in your life and come out with simple and thoughtful opinion that will change part of the world like politics or worldview.
Some old people have vast of experience in certain field but reject everything that is voiced out by young generation is considered as immature.
Mature people always hear other peoples' opinion first. They will not accept or reject others' opinion blindly. They will hear everthing and when it comes to discussion, they will point out the objective of the discussion clearly before start it. They will find the similarities between their opinion and opinion of another side instead of come to find the differences. They tend to reelevate their some parts of their opinion if others' opinion make sense in certain aspect.When it comes to end of discussion, they will accept the differences between their opinion and appreciate it like " Okay, this is my opinion and that's yours".
Reject other opinion and think "I'm always right!" is immature and lead to stupidity.
Every time I go back to my village, I always pretend to be an older people than my real age, for sure I did not tell my age. If I don't reveal it when discussing with older people, they tend, at least hear my opinion or accept it.
If you introduce yourself, " I'm nineTEEN-year-old and still study bla bla bla...", subconciusly, they will take your opinion lightly even though, it's clear your opinion is reasonable.
In FB, I intentionally hide my age and sometimes, older people tend to add me and discuss about many current issues without knowing my real age. For example, about BERSIH, HIMPUN, philosophy, politics, health issues, current world news etc. Maybe, my opinion sounds stupid or simple for them but at least you will hear their mature opinion and you can learn something.
Age doesn't represent maturity. So, don't be an arrogant people. When you feel you're smarter than others, you're considered as a STUPID person.
Then, always hear other opinion first even though it comes from a kid.You will find a diamond of knowledge.
ps: Pardon me if my english is horrible and have many grammatical mistakes. It's about..let see. 1,2,3 4 hmmm... 5 months I didn't blog at all or write something in English. :'D

How To Memorize Al Quran Kareem
I got an interesting article from my friend and I guess I should share this post with other Muslims in this Ramadhan. Honestly, I never try this technique but InshaAllah, I'll try to apply this technique.
"In this post, you'll learn one of the most effective strategies I've ever come across for doing your hifz of the Quran and building a very close relationship with Allah (swt) in the process…
So, this hifz technique was taught by the Algerian Shaykh Zakariya al-Siddiqi who teaches at the Institute of Human Sciences in France and is one of the foremost scholars of Quran today.
He memorised it by the age of 9 and dedicated his life to studying and teaching it, and he once told us the story of one of his friends. His friend was an engineering student, who was a 'Fresher' about to embark on a 5 year degree. Let's call him Ahmed…
Ahmed was an intelligent student who followed one of the oft-forgotten Sunnah's of Success…
Quran Memorization Tip 1: Wake Up Early
He woke up earlier than most people. In fact, he woke up on time to get to the Mosque to pray Fajr every day. When he got home from the mosque, instead of busying himself with the internet or watching television, he spent the first few minutes of each day memorising the Quran.
Quran Memorization Tip 2: Each Day Memorise Less Than You Think You Can
Ahmed made a firm commitment to memorise the Quran, but instead of rushing in and trying to memorise one or two pages each day (like his friends who gave up before long), he confined himself to learning 5 lines per day.
This worked out to be about 20-30 minutes per day for him.
Quran Memorization Tip 3: Get Familiar First
In order to overcome the initial unfamiliarity with the new verses, he spent the first few minutes each day actually writing out the 5 lines of that day onto a small sheet of paper.
He spent the next few minutes reciting them over and over, and then attempted to memorise them.
Quran Memorization Tip 4: Keep Today's Verses Close At Hand
As Ahmed went about his day, he often found that he had a few chunks of time – several minutes each. During these times, such as waiting for the bus, or waiting for a teacher to turn up to a class, Ahmed would try to remember the 5 lines from that morning.
To aid his memory, he kept the sheet that he wrote out that morning folded in his pocket, and would pull it out if he was struggling.
Quran Memorization Tip 5: Use What You Memorise In Every Single Salah
To further support his memory, every prayer he prayed that day, he would recite the same 5 verses of Quran that he learned that morning. In each aka', he would alternate between the 5 lines from that day, and the 5-10 lines he learned the previous days. And remember…
Quran Memorization Tip 6: Keep Track Of Your Goal
With the Uthmani script of the Quran, there are exactly 15 lines per page. So, by the end of the week, Ahmed had not only memorised 2 whole pages of the Quran, but he had written them out in full, too… a very blessed act if ever there was one.
Quran Memorization Tip 7: Perfect Your Tajweed As You Go
On the weekend, Ahmed would visit a local scholar of Quran recitation, and would revise with him the 2 pages he had just memorised, and have a go at the 2 pages he would be working on the following week. This way, he was certain to learn the Quran with accurate tajweed and beautiful recitation.
There was one other secret to Ahmed's success.
The Spiritual Secrets Of Successful Memorisation…
Once a week, on a weekend evening (usually on a Friday night), Ahmed would wake up in the middle of the night, and pray Tahajjud. During his special Tahajjud prayer, Ahmed would recite the whole two pages he had learned that week, and consolidate them.
At this point, the Shaykh mentioned that perhaps one of the reasons so few people manage to wake up and do this special prayer, which is highly recommended by the Quran and by our beloved Prophet (saw), is that we don't have anything to recite.
We have so little Quran memorised that there's no fun or enjoyment in the challenge of waking up for Tahajjud, and we often find even the fard prayers a 'chore' instead of a pleasure.
The Results…
You can imagine Ahmed's excitement and feeling of achievement and success 3 months after he started, when he had memorised the entire 1st Juz!
It's not just the feeling of success and empowerment that the Quran gave him, but also the deep connection with Allah (SWT) he felt every single day.
You can only imagine how proud he must have felt of himself, when upon graduation Ahmed not only received a 1st class degree in engineering (he was 3rd in his class), but he had also officially memorised the entire Quran. He was a hafidh.
Shaykh Zakariya pointed out a final lesson from this blessed brother.
The biggest achievement he made was not to memorise the Quran. The biggest achievement he made was to be deeply connected with the Quran every single day for 5 years.
That connection with Allah (SWT) is what made Ahmed so special. That deep link with the Creator is what keeps life in perspective and is what helped Ahmed to keep on track with the little weekly targets he set for himself.
One can only imagine what happened to Ahmed's levels of personal fulfilment, Iman and taqwa, as he went back every single day to develop this ritual of ihsan (spiritual excellence). Each day he woke up for Fajr and wrote out another 5 lines of Quran, his self-esteem and self-confidence soared…

Kaab bin Malik.
This picture was taken from the teater "Menunggu Kata Dari Tuhan" at UIAM. This teater is all about Kaab bin Malik a.s, the Companion of the Prophet (acted by Sabri Yunus) waiting for the repentance from God because he didn't go to War of Tabuk without any reason.
This is the story that I read when I was Form 3 at Surau Sekolah. For me, it is the longest hadith in the Story of the Prophet's Companion Book.

T. Marzetti Company Announces New Simply Dressed® & Light Refrigerated Salad Dressings For Those Seeking A Well-balanced Lifestyle
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Striving to make healthy lifestyle changes is something most Americans have done at some point. According to a recent survey, 64 percent of American women will make a resolution to eat healthier. However, making healthy choices can sometimes be synonymous with sacrificing flavor, and survey respondents said taste is the most important characteristic of the food they purchase. [i] T. Marzetti Company's successful line of Marzetti ® Simply Dressed ® refrigerated salad dressings offer flavorful solutions to living a well-balanced lifestyle. They are made with a minimal number of all-natural, simple ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil, canola oil and sea salt, so you can enjoy foods you love without sacrificing great taste.
T. Marzetti Company is expanding their line of Simply Dressed refrigerated salad dressings by introducing new Marzetti ® Simply Dressed ® & Light varieties, which are great options for maintaining wellness goals. Containing no preservatives, trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, MSG or artificial flavors, Simply Dressed and Simply Dressed & Light are fresh, flavorful additions to any salad or recipe, which is especially good news for the 75 percent of survey respondents who said they pay close attention to the ingredients in the foods they eat.
"With wellness being a major priority for many Americans, we're excited to provide a delicious way to make well-balanced choices," said Carla Laylin, group marketing manager for Marzetti Produce Dressings and Toppings. "All of our popular Simply Dressed refrigerated salad dressings are made from all-natural ingredients and several flavors of the new Simply Dressed & Light varieties are made with yogurt. They taste great and have the richness of a regular dressing."

Divine Office - Liturgy of the Hours of the Roman Catholic Church (Breviary)
Salt Lake City, UT
Description: Pray with us, we are praying for you
Now Playing
Jan 10, Office of Readings for Friday of the 2nd week of Christmas
Ribbon Placement:
Christian Prayer:
Office of Readings for Friday after Epiphany
God, come to my assistance.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
This is the truth sent from above,
The first thing which I do relate
Then, after this, 'twas God's own choice
But they did eat, which was a sin,
Thus we were heirs to endless woes,
"This is the truth sent from above" by Lichfield Cathedral Choir ; English folk carol of unknown authorship; Collected in the early part of the 20th century by English folk song collectors in Shropshire and Herefordshire;
Ant. 1 Lord, in your anger, do not punish me.
Psalm 38
O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger;
Through your anger all my body is sick:
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Ant. Lord, in your anger, do not punish me.
Ant. 2 Lord, you know all my longings.
My wounds are foul and festering,
All my frame burns with fever;
O Lord, you know all my longing:
My friends avoid me like a leper;
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Ant. Lord, you know all my longings.
Ant. 3 I confess my guilt to you, Lord; do not abandon me, for you are my savior.
But I am like the deaf who cannot hear,
I count on you, O Lord:
For I am on the point of falling
My wanton enemies are numberless
O Lord, do not forsake me!
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Do not abandon us, Lord our God; you did not forget the broken body of your Christ, nor the mockery his love received. We, your children, are weighed down with sin; give us the fullness of your mercy.
Ant. I confess my guilt to you, Lord; do not abandon me, for you are my savior.
Sacred Silence (indicated by a bell)
In Christ was life.
First reading
Thus says the Lord God:
The Lord God shall slay you,
Lo, I am about to create new heavens
They shall live in the houses they build,
They shall not toil in vain,
The wolf and the lamb shall graze alike,
RESPONSORY Revelation 21:1, 3, 4
I saw the new heaven and the new earth; and I heard a loud voice from heaven, saying:
The Lord will wipe away every tear from their eyes; death will no longer hold sway over them, for all that used to be has passed away.
Second reading
The Gospel tells us that the Lord went to the Jordan River to be baptized and that he wished to consecrate himself in the river by signs from heaven.
Reason demands that this feast of the Lord's baptism, which I think could be called the feast of his birthday, should follow soon after the Lord's birthday, during the same season, even though many years intervened between the two events. At Christmas he was born a man; today he is reborn sacramentally. Then he was born from the Virgin; today he is born in mystery. When he was born a man, his mother Mary held him close to her heart; when he is born in mystery, God the Father embraces him with his voice when he says: This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased: listen to him. The mother caresses the tender baby on her lap; the Father serves his Son by his loving testimony. The mother holds the child for the Magi to adore; the Father reveals that his Son is to be worshiped by all the nations.
That is why the Lord Jesus went to the river for baptism; that is why he wanted his holy body to be washed with Jordan's water.
Someone might ask, "Why would a holy man desire baptism?" Listen to the answer: Christ is baptized, not to be made holy by the water, but to make the water holy, and by his cleansing to purify the waters which he touched. For the consecration of Christ involves a more significant consecration of the water.
For when the Savior is washed, all water for our baptism is made clean, purified at its source for the dispensing of baptismal grace to the people of future ages. Christ is the first to be baptized, then, so that Christians will follow after him with confidence.
I understand the mystery as this. The column of fire went before the sons of Israel through the Red Sea so they could follow on their brave journey; the column went first through the waters to prepare a path for those who followed. As the apostle Paul said, what was accomplished then was the mystery of baptism. Clearly it was baptism in a certain sense when the cloud was covering the people and bringing them through the water.
But Christ the Lord does all these things: in the column of fire he went through the sea before the sons of Israel; so now, in the column of his body, he goes through baptism before the Christian people. At the time of the Exodus the column provided light for the people who followed; now it gives light to the hearts of believers. Then it made a firm pathway through the waters; now it strengthens the footsteps of faith in the bath of baptism.
RESPONSORY John 1:29; Isaiah 53:11
John saw Jesus coming to him and said: Behold the Lamb of God;
He will justify many and he himself will bear our sins.
Grant, we ask, almighty God,
ACCLAMATION (only added when praying in community)
Let us praise the Lord.

Teen Summer Jobs: Rethinking Fast Food Option?
Katie and I have discussed establishing a loose subject-matter rotation for this Blawg, to maintain a nice balance of topics for everyone.
We may yet implement a flexible version of such a concept — but the news cycle definitely gets in the way. As we speed-read through tons of material looking for the best items to include in our news headlines at right and on our News page, we often find more has been written about topics we've recently covered. We're then tempted to re-post on such hot topics — without waiting to work our way through a nice rotation.
Such is the case today with the hot seasonal topic of summer jobs for teens, about which Katie wrote a few days ago ("Teens May Need to Look Hard for Summer Jobs").
A study quoted in one recent article "shows that about two-thirds of the 14- to 18-year-old age group employment in [Washington] state is in the fast-food establishment, an industry many students say they want nothing to do with."
The article continues: "High school students want the 'cool' jobs: Working at popular retail chains, camp counseling and ice cream shops are some examples. But some find the only jobs available are in the fast-food industry or manual labor."
An adult in the recruiting industry provides a reality check: "the stigmatized jobs are not that bad . . . McDonald's has a wonderful training program . . . . Sometimes our perceptions are off. If we were more open to learning about a company . . . maybe there would be more opportunities."
To break into the job market, an expert suggest new applicants try companies such as Chick-fil-A, which hires students as young as 15.
So How Bad Is a Fast Food Job, Anyway?
I wrote about "McJobs" way back in November 2003 ("Burger flippers get no respect these days"). This is worth repeating:
While these days I try to avoid the [fast food] cuisine, unless forced to go there to satisfy family members, I am an unabashed supporter of McJobs. My first job, at age 16 in 1974, was at the McDonald's on East Third Street in Bloomington, Indiana.
It was very hard work, especially on [Indiana University] football weekends, but we really had a lot of fun. So much so that when I got together with some old friends last summer, with whom I had worked there, we stopped in at the old store and posed for this photo (that's me on the right).
I met store assistant managers intent on working up through the ranks, and regional managers who had already done so. To them, it was certainly not "dead-end work," but good old-fashioned American opportunity.
I learned the work ethic through the famous words of revered founder Ray Kroc: "If you've got time to lean, you've got time to clean."
While I wouldn't envy anyone trying to support a family working a McJob, I heartily recommend it as a life-stage job for young people, and would hope a good work record at such a job is viewed positively by persons making hiring decisions for higher-paying jobs as well, rather than as a sign of lack of ambition.
At McDonalds the ladder from fry cook or drive-thru jockey to management is still very real, if one is to believe this cool commercial:
A Smattering of Statistics:
The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics shines some interesting light on the food preparation industry as a whole:
- 1/5 of cooks and food prep workers are between 16 and 19 years old.
- 2/5 of food prep workers are employed part time
- Because many workers "burn out from the fast work pace and pressure to fill orders quickly," job openings are plentiful.
For those who can hack it, there are rewards for sticking with the job. The BLS states that "experience as food and beverage preparation and service workers is essential for promotion into managerial positions." (Duh.)
A bonus for future fast food and restaurant managers: The growing U.S. population means more mouths to feed. The restaurants that crop up to feed the people need managers. You get hired. And isn't that the happiest of endings?

uTransfer allows you to move money between your accounts at other financial institutions, plus you can send to virtually anyone, anywhere or have someone send you money, all without carrying cash or writing checks. To start the process, you'll need to register your accounts. There is typically a turnaround time of 3 to 5 days to transfer from your Xceed account to your accounts at other financial institutions. For person-to-person payments, the process could take longer depending on how quickly it takes the other person to respond to the verification request.
To ensure your identity and ownership of your accounts, a small trial deposit is made followed by a small trial withdrawal. The transaction is only a few pennies and the withdrawal is never larger than the deposit. These transactions are usually posted within 2 business days of uTransfer account registration. Once completed, you can return to the "manage accounts" page and click "activate" on "uTransfer". You will then be asked to verify the transaction amounts and if the values match, your uTransfer account will be activated.
Account – to – Account (A2A) Money Transfer
Money can be transferred between your Xceed accounts and accounts at other financial institutions. To originate a funds transfer between your accounts, select the account you want to transfer money from (originating account), and select the account you want to send money to (destination account) from your approved account list. Then, select the amount you wish to transfer and schedule the transfer date to send the funds. uTransfer will send you a confirmation message and provide you the status of the transfer.
Person to Person (P2P) Money Payment
With P2P transfers, you can send and receive money from your friends, family, and co-workers.

You can identify the recipient by entering his or her name, email address, or mobile phone number. After selecting the recipient, transfer amount, and transfer date, the system will issue a confirmation message and give you the status of your transfer. The system will send an email or SMS message to the recipient, letting them know of incoming money transfer and asking them to specify which account they want to use to receive the deposit.
Plus, your friends can also pay you with P2P. Just log in to Xceed Online, click the Transfers tab, click "uTransfer", select the amount you wish to receive, and choose the account and the person who will send you the payment (defined by name, email address or mobile phone number). Then select the amount you wish to receive. The system will send an email or SMS message to the payer to inform them of the payment request.
Transactions History
You'll have the ability to view the transaction history of each transfer request, categorized as completed transactions, scheduled transactions, and transactions in progress.

I came across an interesting Hollywood Reporter article some months ago and figured that now would be the best time to share my thoughts about it, since the Academy Awards are just a month away. In THR's November 10th issue, there was an article by Stephen Galloway titled "Why Age Matters." The caption under the headline was, "Oscar voters aren't the most youthful people in Hollywood – and that will affect this year's race." Before reading this article, I hadn't given much thought to how age could play a major role in deciding which films end up with the Oscar each year. And now that THR got me thinking about it, I can't help but be riled up by the matter.
In his article, Galloway discusses the affect that the older age of Oscar voters could have on this year's top seven contenders for Best Picture: The King's Speech, The Social Network, 127 Hours, Black Swan, Blue Valentine, Toy Story 3, and Inception. It's an interesting piece, but the biggest shock to me was the average age of members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Galloway reports that the average AMPAS member is a whopping 57 years old. There's no question that older members means a certain disconnect from movies exhibiting more contemporary stories and material, such as The Social Network or even Toy Story 3.
Regardless of whether someone has a Facebook profile or not, they should be able to recognize that The Social Network is one of the year's best films. When David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin team up, there's not much that can go wrong. But part of what makes "the Facebook movie" so great is how relevant it is right now. The film explores a story that has impacted the lives of more than 500 million people – that is, Facebook's 500 million current users. The problem is, since the social networking website only launched in 2004, the majority of it's users are well under 60 years old. So how is the average 57-year-old AMPAS voter going to connect with The Social Network in the same way that an eighteen or twenty-five-year-old viewer will – people who have been on Facebook for seven years? You can read as many articles about Facebook and watch as many Mark Zuckerberg interviews as you like, but you can't understand the phenomenon of Facebook until you've joined the community, which I'm sure plenty of AMPAS voters have not.
The same argument can be made, on a lesser degree, for Toy Story 3. The film probably meant much more to those of us who grew up with the original Toy Story. Even though the movie might get great reviews from both a 22-year-old and a 55-year-old, it probably made more of an impact on the person who was 22.
I'm not suggesting that the AMPAS offer a membership to every college graduate as they enter the entertainment industry. All I'm saying is that, with some fresh new faces in the Academy, the organization would be more in touch with the industry's up-and-coming talent and their work. It's not fair to passionate, promising new artists if their projects are being judged by a majority of older voters. This year's The King's Speech was a great film, but it doesn't deserve the Oscar. But older voters could mean it gets the gold anyway, and Galloway explains how:
"…the film is perfectly skewed to the Academy's older crowd. Its central character was 40 when he ascended the throne, but he's played by Colin Firth, who at 50 fits the voters' tastes even better. Add to that a cast led by such middle-aged vets as Helena Bonham Carter (44) and Geoffrey Rush (59) – add too the fact that it's a period piece with a happy ending and features nothing more gruesome than a bit of conflict between the monarch and his tutor – and the Weinsteins could be back in The English Patient and Shakespeare in Love territory all over again." [Stephen Galloway, "Why Age Matters"]
It seems like quite the unfair advantage to me. It wouldn't be such a big deal if the Academy Awards weren't the most prestigious, sought after awards in the film industry. If the AMPAS were to send out some more invitations to younger industry moguls (and they are out there), there could be less of a bias against more contemporary material. There comes a point where every organization must pass the torch on to the next generation of members, and now could be the beginning of that time for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

In a surprisingly classy move for an MTV production, Beyonce won Video of the Year at the VMAs, and instead of giving a speech, brought Taylor Swift on stage to make up for Kanye West's hissy fit which, according to sources, left her crying backstage. So a sincere hats off to Beyonce. In the meantime, do you think you could remind your husband Jay-Z how cool it was when rappers used to shoot each other? Not that I'm trying to perpetuate stereotypes or suggest murdering the guy, but let's say you sort of grazed him. In the mouth.
Beyonce is awesome
good job, Beyonce! Classy!
yay beyonce im glad she made up for what kanye did to taylor swift i dont even like taylor swift but kanye is just a douchebag
what is wrong with him anyway…….?
oh everyone calm down, this shit was entertaining, kanye was uncouth and very stupid, but it made for great tv!
mtv some how managed to make a michael jackson tribute boring and if it wasnt for kanye's outburst no one would be talking about the vma's
No one cares, Bears vs Packers was on.
uh, it was staged
how that's not obvious to everyone I have no idea
I couldn't be bothered to watch that infantile bullshit, but Kanye is a total cunt either way.
i think its messed up how people think someone acting like an asshole and hurting someone is "great tv". Stay classy Beyonce =]
@5, really? You come onto a gossip site dedicated exactly to this kind of crap and say no one gives a shit because of a football game. You, sir, are a fucking idiot.
Beyonce IS awesome.
MTV got you dumbasses again with another trick.
Why are people making a big deal about this? Who cares?
@9 True that! #5′s a douche.
@6 Shut up. No one likes you.
Liberals. Conservatives. Christians. Atheists. Scientologists. People that think leopard print is fashionable. So many different perspectives, so many different values, so many different mindsets in the world…and every fucking one of them wants to watch Kanye West die slowly and painfully.
Also, who cares? Anyone who values their brain and sense of reason stopped watching MTV in like 1996, and football season started today.
knayes right! hold up! beyonce was the better artist!~ i wouldaa dun tha same thing to taylor she just a hoe ! yall know poppin yo booty to single ladies was yoo thangg! that lil girl sang about some dork r sumthin. kanye im rite there wid you boo. :-* xo
knayes right! hold up! beyonce was the better artist!~ i wouldaa dun tha same thing to taylor she just a hoe ! yall know poppin yo booty to single ladies was yoo thangg! that lil girl sang about some dork r sumthin. kanye im rite there wid you boo. :-* xo
I mean besides people why would you think it was staged? Kanye doesn't need MTV's help to let the world know he's an @ss hole. I think we've all figured that out by now. His music IS the sh!t tho. But seriuosly Taylor clearly was hurt and Beyonce clearly was surprised. So not staged dummies.
Does anyone know what alli's talking about? Come on man, shut the getto crap.
I want to see a video of this!! Where can I find one? Beyonce's awesome :)
Beyonce = Class
Kanye = Ass
beyonce and amber rose need to team up and go into lesbian porn
dat ass
Damn she got a big ol' butt…
Beyonce needs to shave her legs. Yuck.
Agreed with #5
I think Kanye pissed off God when he did the Rolling Stone's shoot and dressed up like Jesus. And that's why he is surrounded by all these bad vibes, like a dead mom; vanity.
more like graze the middle of his brain…
Two nice girls.
No, it's not classy, it's a way to capitalize on a situation and clearing your name. It's just good publicity. I actually think P!nk was more classy and genuine to call West and asshole to his face. MTV loved what happened tonight, otherwise they wouldn't have been post-gaming it with that mush-mouth fake rasta "news man".
I'm not a huge fan of Beyonce, and to be honest, I have no idea who Taylor Swift is, but that was one seriously classy thing to do.
Beyonce IS awesome, like seeing here as much as she is a bitch….
good job beyonce, kanye is a retard. taylor swift didn't deserve to be treated like that in front of so many people.
I have been watching MTV for 20 years, and i realize that your going to get some crazy unexpected moments, but after everything that has been going on the past few years and for some reason this year "2009: (9) being the number of all endings and New Beginnings and losing some very, very, very special people. 6-25-09 will always be remembered! So whether your a musician or a famous icon or a just who you are. RESPECT IS KEY. people have feelings and emotions and we all deserve a standing ovation. So Kanye in my best way to communicate to you- "shame on you" you must have a damaged soul and you wanted everyone to know. Good luck in the music world. Its not money that makes the world go round. MUSIC UNITES!! ……………It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
"Thank you to all the class acts" because there is always going to be classmates…………………
If Taylor had any game at all, she would have kicked him in the nuts then pushed him off stage and kept right on going with her speech like nothing happened. That's what Beyonce would have done…. if it happened to her. Of course….No one would dare step up to Jay-Z's woman. He'd pimp slap them into the 70′s….
Oh and by the way, Kanye you a true bitch….
Oh and by the way, Kanye you a true bitch…. teabag ya
what's lame is that kanye is going win more than he loses, ie his fans will love how bad ass he is. I hope the rest of us know what a dirt bag racist this piece of shit is.
I have a hard time believing this was all staged. Even MTV wouldn't do that to a 19 year old girl who just won her first vma, would they?
Either way Kanye is still a douche and needs some plastic surgery if ya know what I'm sayin'.
I have a newfound respect for Beyonce. She's so classy and amazing. I still hate her music, but what she did was AWEEESOMEE
Beyonce was just doing DAMAGE control..trying to distance herself from Kanye.
She knows how to save face.
No doubt Hova will have a talk with him too.
What an A-Hole!
—2 different body type…both hot—-
Couldn"t Taylor dispense a swift kick to the groin of Kunt-ye, she need to shed that good girl image.
beyonce saved the day. taylor might not take a black cock in her life- but thankfully, she may put a black vag in her face.hahaha
simply repulsive. put some clothes on. i have no respect for someone that has to parade around showing off their goods and then are not clean enough to shave their nasty ass legs. gross animal.
someone should fucking beat the snot out of that little fucking Kayne.
Whatever Beyonce's reason for bringing Taylor on stage, it was a classy thing to do.
Why the fuck is PEREZ HILTON there?! Goddamn, they'll let anyone in there.
I have always thought Beyonce was a class act. I don't like her music, but she seems to be a much better role model than, say, Lady Gaga…. who looked like she woke up in a bird's nest, sheesh.
Fucking racist Kanye West. He throws a fucking hissy fit every time a black person doesn't win something. He should get shot, the fucking cocksmoker…
Good job Bey Once. Classy move from a hot woman. kanye is a douche. unfortunately nobody will tell him that he is a douche. hopefully beyonce will continue to feel bad for taylor swift and have a little conversation with Jay Z. and ask him to have some of his boys have a little "talk" with kayne.
I don't know if what Beyonce did was nice after all.
I'm sure she had the best intentions, but bringing TW up on stage and commenting on Kanye's dickness may have just reminded TW of the humiliation.
That was very nice of Beyonce, yes. I'm not a fan of her music, nor of Taylor's, but they are nice ladies.

Preview: Tigers turn to Verlander to end skid
Last Sunday the Detroit Tigers (28-17) left Fenway Park on a league-high six-game winning streak and winners of 15 out of 18 games. The rest of the American League Central Division was a distant memory as the Tigers held a seven-game lead over the second-place Kansas City Royals.
Fast forward one week: Detroit has more work to do.
After being swept in Cleveland, the Tigers have come home for a four-game series with the Texas Rangers (24-25) and lost two of the first three by a total score of 23-11. Brad Ausmus still has his team atop the American League, so there is no reason to panic in Detroit.
But ace Justin Verlander will take the mound Sunday looking to stop the losing in its tracks.
Verlander will face a Rangers lineup that posted 19 hits on Saturday, including four doubles, two triples and two home runs. Every starter had at least one hit for Texas, while six of them had multi-hit games and No. 1 prospect Rougned Odor had four hits and five RBI.
The 31-year-old right-hander has struggled in the month of May, watching his ERA increase with each start and allowing a total of 15 runs in four starts. He hopes to get back on track against a Rangers team that owns a respectable .264 team average against him.
Detroit will face right-handed Colby Lewis, who has failed to record a quality start in seven games this season. Lewis went six innings for the first time on May 20, but the Seattle Mariners scored five runs against the 34-year-old.
The Tigers have great career numbers against Lewis, combining for a .306 average with five home runs. The veteran will need to be careful with the middle of the Detroit lineup, as Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Austin Jackson and Alex Avila combine for a .393 average (22/56) with three home runs and eight RBI against him.
Sunday is the final game of the short four-game home stand for the Tigers. The team will fly to Oakland Sunday night for the start of a seven-game West Coast trip that starts Monday afternoon.

American Jonathan Trappe is a balloonist but not in the classical sense. While most others employ a single hot-air balloon in their flights, Trappe uses a cluster of smaller balloons filled with Helium instead. This unusual approach has invited comparisons to Pixar's Up, but the 38-year old American has already managed to float across both the English Channel and the Alps in this manner.
Next year, Jonathan plans to push the boundaries of cluster-ballooning even further however as he will attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean, covering a distance of 2500 miles in the process.
Trappe says that this epic flight will require 365 helium filled balloons which will carry him as high as 25,000 feet. That would easily exceed his previous altitude record of 21,600 feet, which was set on his flight over the Alps in 2010. Jonathan says that like a mountaineer, he'll wear an oxygen mask on the Atlantic crossing which will help to keep him mentally sharp and aware when the air gets thin.
On his previous adventures Trappe strapped his balloons to a lightweight chair which served as his open-air cockpit on those flights. When he attempts to cross the Atlantic however, he'll be floating in a seven-foot long lifeboat instead. This larger craft will not only carry all of the extra equipment and supplies he'll need for the prolonged flight but will also serve as his emergency back-up plan. Should he run into trouble along the way, Trappe intends to release some of the balloons from his cluster, allowing him to control his descent to the water below. After setting down on the surface of the Atlantic, he'll then proceed to sail back to land – at least in theory. Whether or not he would be able to pull off such a descent while hundreds of miles from shore and in the middle of a storm has yet to be seen.
At the moment, Trappe is still in the planning stages for his Atlantic Crossing. He says he has already sunk $170,000 into this venture and is looking to raise $300,000 more to help fund the flight. Assuming he manages to find the backing he needs, he intends to launch his flying boat and cluster of 365 balloons sometime next summer.
Fund raising isn't his only hurdle he'll need to overcome if he hopes to be successful. The 2500 miles he'll have to cross in order to reach Paris, his proposed destination, is more than ten times the length of his previous longest flight. Thats quite a leap forward for cluster-ballooning. Lets just hope his plan for using the lifeboat in an emergency is a sound one.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Lawrence officials are planning to review city policies after a scandal in which at least one police officer fixed speeding tickets in exchange for University of Kansas men's basketball tickets.
Police Chief Tarik Khatib says it's harder to fix tickets since his department started using electronic ticketing in 2006.
One police officer who was suspended resigned last month after the ticket-fixing issue was made public. City officials say the university official gave basketball tickets to the officer, who either dismissed or asked other officers to dismiss six tickets between 2000 and 2008.
The Lawrence Journal-World (http://bit.ly/wkwAiw) reports the city has said the person whose speeding tickets were dismissed is one of four Kansas Athletics Inc. employees in federal prison for their roles in a broader ticket scandal at the university.
