Editor Retiring
Editor-in-Chief James B. M. Schick announces in the new issue of The Midwest Quarterly that it is last issue in that position. Having served as editor since the autumn issue of 1981, he has been with the magazine for 31 years. "Over that span the journal has changed in many ways," he writes. "What has not changed is the inspiration countless academics have displayed in their submissions, not all of which have been accepted, and their dedication , as revealed in their willingness to undertake revisions, often of a substantial nature, that I have asked of them."
He ends his note with a thank you to the readers: "I must express my appreciation for your loyalty. To all of you, thank you for making my task more easily accomplished and profoundly more satisfying. I now being a period of phased retirement after teaching forty-five years at Pittsburg State University, a winding-down that will, if taken full term, finish with a half-century of service to this institution.

New York - March 3, 2010 - This May, experience William Shakespeare's greatest work like never before as the BBC releases to DVD the star-studded theatrical event, Hamlet. Featuring David Tennant (Doctor Who, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) as Hamlet and Patrick Stewart (X-Men trilogy, Star Trek: The Next Generation) as Claudius, no recent stage production in Britain has attracted the excitement and resounding praise as this engrossing masterpiece from the renowned Royal Shakespeare Company. Hailed by the Daily Telegraph, "without doubt one of the finest productions of Hamlet I have ever seen, led by an actor of extraordinary courage and charisma who has made a persuasive claim to true greatness." Tennant's interpretation was recognized as defining the role for a generation, and Stewart's complex Claudius won the Olivier award, Britain's highest stage honor.
Airing on PBS's Great Performances April 28, 2010, and arriving on DVD just two days later, Tennant and Stewart reprise their stage roles in this specially shot screen version - filmed on location rather than in the theater - which breathes new life into Shakespeare's greatest play.

New stuff. Invention. Innovation-I just love it. It's one of the things that helps keep this old dog learning new tricks, and what nifty new ideas we're seeing recently.
By now, we've all read about the new cement that is self-sealing should a hydrocarbon begin leaking along a microannulus or crack. Apparently, the cement contains some magic component that causes the cement sheath to seal off the channel in response to the leak. It reminds me of swell-packer technology, but this material is imbedded in the cement sheath itself. It almost makes me want to go block squeeze a bunch of old wells I once operated in a salt dome field near Beaumont. We always had communication between zones, and block squeezes never seemed to completely seal the annulus.
I had the brilliant idea once of dumping a bunch of glass microspheres in a cement slurry.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently granted
certification for Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) Localizer
Performance with Vertical guidance (LPV) functionality on the
Bombardier Challenger 604 aircraft equipped with Rockwell Collins'
upgraded Flight Management System (FMS) and GPS-4000S global
positioning system WAAS receiver.
Rockwell says this was "a significant effort" jointly funded by
the FAA Air Traffic Organization's Technical Operations (Aviation
System Standards and Navigation Services) and Rockwell Collins for
the FAA's NextGen Air Traffic System, which will allow more
aircraft to utilize existing airspace while increasing safety.
The aircraft and crews to support the significant flight testing
requirements were supplied by the FAA's Aviation System Standards
"Our work with the FAA to certify a WAAS LPV solution featuring
our enhanced FMS and GPS-4000S marks an important step forward in
helping more aircraft operators equip their aircraft for
near-precision approaches at airports not equipped with ILS," said
Greg Irmen, vice president and general manager, Business and
Regional Systems for Rockwell Collins. "This solution, which fully
integrates the GPS-4000S with the LPV capable FMS in Rockwell
Collins Pro Line 4 and Pro Line 21 systems offers simple and
intuitive operation."
The same LPV solution for the FAA's aircraft is now available to
all Challenger 604 operators through Rockwell Collins' dealers.
WAAS improves the availability and integrity of GPS navigation,
enabling suitably equipped FMS to provide horizontal and vertical
navigation to category I equivalent minimums for all users at all
locations within the service area, without requiring airport-based
transmitters or other supporting functionality. Additionally, WAAS
provides service for all classes of aircraft in all flight
operations in its coverage, including en-route navigation, airport
departures and airport arrivals. This includes CAT I equivalent
approaches with minimums as low as 200 feet at locations throughout
the US National Airspace System (WAAS).

I believe that the R9 was the last good driver from Taylormade. Everything with an "R" in front of it has been kind of a joke to be honest, and with the constant new releases it is tough for a purist to like Taylormade. But, the SLDR, unlike the R11s, R1, and the RBZs, has captured my attention. I like that there is actually some technology behind it, unlike recent Taylormade drivers which are just about "more adjustability!!!" I am definitely looking forward to trying the SLDR, mainly because of the notion that it is a very low spinning driver. Overall, I think that this is the first promising driver from Taylormade in a while and am excited to try it out soon. Hopefully Taylormade doesnt let me down although I am trying not to get my hopes up!

Spotted: TaylorMade SLDR Fairway Wood
Check out the photos of TaylorMade's new SLDR fairway wood, which was being tested by Dustin Johnson at the Tour Championship.
The SLDR fairway wood does not have the sliding weight track that was featured on the company's new SLDR driver. Instead, it has what appears to be a new version of TaylorMade's Speed Pocket, which like the slot on the company's new SpeedBlade iron has curved design that looks to cut all the way through the club's sole. It also has an adjustable hosel that seems to have the same adjustability as the SLDR driver, 1.5 degrees up or down from the standard loft.
Johnson was the first player to test the club at East Lake, a 15.5-degree model, but according to TaylorMade tour reps it's still up in the air if Johnson will put the club in play this week at East Lake.
Check out more photos of the club in the gallery below, and click here to see what GolfWRX Members are saying about the SLDR fairway wood in the forums.

The SLDR once matched to the right shaft and the weighting placed by adjusting the sldr mechanism, I have improved my driving distance by 20 yds and am more accurate.
I recently played in a tournament in Fl with 3 members of my home club. I have always been shortest off the tee, (one our pro, and other 2 2-3 hcps and very long) wirh my prior Nike and R 11 before that I was always 20 yds short. But, since my SLDR and Fujikura Fuel stiff shaft, and settings with a draw bia on weights, I crushed to be longer than all but my freaky long pal, Doug. More than that consitsent in center right of tight fairways. By end of trip all were serious about getting SLDR. It Rocks
Oh, sweet…. how soon until we can get one for half price?
Well I certainly have to give them a round of applause. They keep pumping out product and consumers keep buying it. The sole looks quite a bit like the RBZ (slot is a bit different). I do like the change in the paint color. For now I think I will stick with my VSteels.
As mentioned, R11 and R11s didn't have weights, the head isn't big enough. Plus with the SLDR weight turf interaction would be even more of an issue than with the slot.
TaylorMade gets the fact that the customer base is broken into segments, innovators & early adopter consumers will always buy new b/c it's new. Early and late majority will buy some at full and at rebate/reduced pricing. The laggards will clean out what's left at a nice discount. Decide where you fall on that curve and buy what you can afford. I don't understand the haters, other than TM is clearly winning the club-selling fight… It's actually BETTER for the consumer to have this accelerated product life cycle. More options, pricing reductions which offset depreciation, etc.
The last good fairway taylormade had was the 07 burner TP. I played it for years until the 913FD took it out. The 913FD is a fairway finder beast!!
did the same thing
They have a small company named gigagolf that has been developing and put out a fairway that looks very similar to this earlier this year. It's under their pursuit line, they also had a driver with that same slot that they put out 3-5 years ago I think. They even have similar weight cut outs.on the sole. Not a big TM fan, now they are starting to show that technology is not a priority. How do they not put a movable weight on a line that they market a SLDR sliding weight? Step backwards for TM.
What a scam! I still play the 200 steel 3/5 woods reshafted with an Arthur Xcaliber T6.
Face it, newer is not always better, but it does pull out the suckers that think they buying a game, or the egotists who have to have the newest. Wise people spend their money on a GOOD teacher.
haha! how absurd.
Combination of the R9 and RBZ fairway woods
I'm not sure why more people aren't happy about this. I think it would be difficult for TM fans who want to upgrade to the newest driver technology to play a gray driver with matte white fairway woods. i think it's great to maintain a consistency of look throughout the set.
Wait about 6 months and you can get it for half price when the new SLDR2 woods come out.
Lol too true.
Im hoping titleist comes out with a new driver so i can pick up a 913 d3 soon.
Its just looks like the R9 fairway with new graphics. Yawn!
To my eyes the head looks like the old Titleist 906 range.
TM should provide us with a "Slot-cleaning" stick
This thing looks graat, SOOOOOO happy the white trend has come and gone, despite that last statment, I'm still gaming a superfast 2.0 TP 3w and a R11s 5w, love them both, been hard to get out of the bag. Interested to hit this, IMO taylormade makes the best fairway woods.
You're jerking us around, right?
TM makes very unfriendly fairway woods.
The stock shafts are of poor quality, the heads are not exactly high launching, and the stock lengths are a prescription for failure.
Taylormade is making its return to golf clubs and taking a break from the toy industry…
I totally agree with you this club looks great and classic, but you gotta admit those "toys" are pretty fun. R1 owner*
I'm waiting for them to sell the fairway wood for the rest of us … you know, the guys with moderate swing speeds.
Tried the RBZ and Stage 2 – failures for normal guys.
Bye, TM.
the speedpocket there looks like a smiling minion
reminds me of the burner TP 3W
I might actually like this TM fairway wood
This is Taylormade being bored and putting their marketing department to the test.
"Can we take a club we released last year (RBZ fairway wood, original), paint it grey, call it a Little Hamburger, and still get people to buy a "new" club!? Let's try!"
Well done- first negetive comment! I propose you have your eyes checked…first things first, the speed pocket is totally different by the look of it so your statement the have restamped an painted this club is a load of…!
Looks like a deep face for a lower trajectory. Better have some swing speed.
I like these better than the driver, and I am not a TM fan at all.
Best looking fairway I've seen in a long time from TM, almost has a Vsteel look about it….and with speed pocket, I'm in!
if the feel and sound are as good on this wood as they are on the driver i'm buying
Well wot can I say I want one or two now great looking club perfect match for the SLDR driver
The Marketing Team seems to be wagging the dog at TaylorMade.
SLDR without the SLDR feature. Kinda like a Speedblade without the blade. I think TM is doing this intentionally to annoy discerning golfers and TM critics. Next, they will turn bladed putters into precision mallets, hybrids into driving hyper-irons and 3 woods into inverted mega-swing tour driving pistons.
you wont see a diffrence in woods, its like why they didnt have the movable weights in the r11 and r11s woods
It doesn't even have a sliding weight! haha this is an entirely different concept then the SLDR driver, so why the same name…?
Being so die hard Titleist and being so against Taylormade I can't really believe I'm saying this but I actually like the look of this club.
Has a finish that looks similar to old titliest woods.
hahaha… totally agree… it does look nice though

Today, Stuart posted on the latest developments of the World Council of Churches, and how it now has implicated the nation of modern Israel as the key impediment to the Christianization of the Middle East. In fact according to this document, one would think that only Israel is at fault for not there not being Christians in the "Middle East" (middle of where, east of what? seriously).
Besides the obvious religious differences of Muslims, Christians and Jews being overlooked, the document overlooks the racist history of European Christianity in the region. It is quite convenient, and quite telling. In fact, I would say that the World Council of Churches functions off of supersessionist principles from white liberal theology. It is not supersessionist for criticizing Israel. I am no META-Zionist ala John Hagee. What I mean by this is that the process by which nations are created and peoples are formed based off of ethnicity and whereby land becomes DE-sacralized for the sake of commericalization (the Holy Land made un-holy), is seen by the WCC as an innocent aspiration, that this is part of what it means to be human.
I am arguing along the lines of Willie Jennings, in his work, The Christian Imagination: Theology and the Origins of Race. The reason why I criticize critics of Israel who fail to equally chastize Palestine is for this very reason, and up until now, I had not found a way to articulate how I felt, and persons would mistake me for the dispensationalist type. But now, I think I see it more clearly. The construction of a nation-state whereby human bodies are sacrifices on the altars of ethnicity and economic progress is inherently violent. Palestine, in the words of U2, is stuck in the moment and it can't get out of it–that moment is the Colonial Moment, the very reversal of Christ's resurrection, that of the victory of death. Like the Portuguese explorers who measured black bodies to be things to consumed, the Palestinians remain trapped in a grid where their fates are determined by Europe more and more, even as they stuggle for the white virtue of autonomy (Jennings, 21).
The document submitted by the World Council of Churches "innocently" says it is working in the name of "peace and reconciliation" but these terms are superfluous at best. What it really means is that the organization is striving toward white hegemony, imperial nation building, and submitting itself to the very temptation that ha satan failed to deceive our Lord Jesus with in the wilderness (this view comes from Jennings' reading of Bonhoeffer's interpretation of Jesus [representing all nations] being tempted in the desert in Bonhoeffer's CREATION AND FALL).
WCC confuses liberation with promoting nation-building, a project that requires for Christians to step outside the story of Israel's God, YHWH. In this sense, the WCC is supersessionist, and therefore displaying the epitome of Gentile arrogance.

If this is my mid-life crisis then count me in…
Rob Spedding | Blog, Cycling Plus | 29/09/2010 09:28am
This morning on Radio 5 there was yet another report on recent research that found that cycling, and road cycling in particular, is the new sign of a mid-life crisis in men. It doesn't feel like a crisis to this middle aged man…
This all stems from a report by market research powerhouse Mintel that found that the cycling market is being driven by affluent 35-44 year old men. It went as far as to say that cycling is "the 'noughties' version of the midlife crisis". As a result, many of you have no doubt found yourself being referred to by mates and colleagues as a MAMIL – that's a middle-aged-man-in-Lycra.
Another study carried out by academics at the University of the West of England found that 42% of people questioned felt that 'cycling has become cool nowadays', and 38% agree that bike technology is 'sexier'. (There were some other, less positive, findings – we're lazy and not serious career people?)
Well, at 37 (but not affluent sadly), I proudly wear Lycra and ride a rather nice Viner Perfecta. I've got too much grey hair, my stomach could be smaller – click here for evidence – I don't get enough sleep because of my one-year old son, I drink a little too much at times…Prime mid-life crisis material in short.
So, is my cycling some kind of cry for help? Hell no it isn't – I do it because I love it. I love the burning lungs, stinging legs and feeling of incredible elation I get when I reach the top of a huge climb; I love the buzz of descending that same steep hill at a silly speed; I love the fact that, if I do it enough, that gut will disappear and I'll be healthier than the majority of 37-year-olds; and yes I love the bikes, the clothes and the gadgets.
None of this sounds like a mid-life crisis to me. And I'm sure the man I just bought the Porsche from and the secretary I'm having an illicit affair with would both agree.

Brittany Mahon admits she's not a fan of winter or its frosty sports. Until last week, it had been seven years since she'd been ice skating.Only an hour into a double date with fellow UNC Charlotte student Tony Baio and their friends from Concord, Mahon was gliding around the seasonally-constructed Coca-Cola Family Ice Rink at Charlotte Motor Speedway wondering why it took her so long to return to the ice.CMS and Extreme Ice Center are using this holiday season to give the University City area and the surrounding region something it's never had: an outdoor ice rink. Located under a pavilion near the zMax Dragway tower, the holiday-themed 5,100-square-foot rink will be open to the public through Jan. 21."It's been a while since I skated," said Mahon, an 18-year-old freshman from Concord. "But I'm glad I'm getting back into it. It gives us something new to do instead of doing the same old thing."Extreme Ice Center is an 87,000-square-foot facility in Indian Land specializing in ice sports and recreation. XIC owners are counting on the people of northeast Charlotte latching on to the growing popularity of temporary holiday-timed rinks around the country.The ice rink, which is about one-third the size of a regulation hockey rink, is the latest feature added to the Speedway Christmas holiday light display.Uptown Charlotte is hosting an outdoor rink for the ninth straight year. WBT sponsors the venue, which is located at The Plaza at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Admission prices and hours of business are comparable with the Family Ice Rink at CMS.Tom Logano and Mike Mulhall, co-owners of XIC, did some homework on how others cities and towns have developed temporary outdoor rinks. Logano spoke with operators at the Bristol Motor Speedway, which has had an ice rink to complement its Christmas light display for several years.The race tracks at Charlotte and Bristol are both owned by Speedway Motorsports Inc. Logano says that 25,000 ice skaters visited Bristol last season."We're thinking that's Bristol, Tennessee, and this is Charlotte," said Logano. "We think we're more popular. Getting the word out is important with (Concord Mills) mall and the hotels. Everybody seems to be supporting it."A Florida-based company constructed the Family Ice Rink at CMS by laying pipes filled with 12,000 gallons of anti-freeze under 4 inches of ice. The $100,000 project took about four days to complete.The rink is too small for a Zamboni machine to resurface the ice. Instead, XIC built its own mini-ice machine out of a golf cart, which scrapes and sprays a new layer of water about twice a day.In addition to ice skating, patrons can ride sled-saucers down the 7-foot by 85-foot ice slide. On opening night Nov. 19, Mahon, Baio, 19 were joined by Mahon's former schoolmates from Concord's Cox Mill High: Chris Skinner, 17, and Tyler Ranson, 18. They all took turns skimming down the slide and keeping track of how many times they fell off their saucers and crashed into the protective bails of hay."I thought it would be something fun to do in the winter," said Skinner. "This is much closer to home. The next closest (rink) is about 45 minutes away."The Family Ice Rink is open 4-10 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m.-10 p.m. weekends. Special events are scheduled throughout the two-month season, including a night with UNC Charlotte's club hockey team.Other special features are autograph nights with NASCAR drivers and members of the Charlotte Checkers hockey team, a broomball exhibition, and a pond hockey night for youth. Rink manager Danielle Logano says that a lot of XIC's youth hockey players travel from the University City area.For information about Speedway Christmas and the Coca-Cola Family Ice Rink, visit www.charlottemotorspeedway.com.

Now that I'm nearly through my couple of weeks off for the finger injury, I'm starting to get excited about going climbing again. Everyone seems to disagree with me on this one but i reckon going bouldering is probably the best option as i'll be able to pick the moves i'm doing more easily than on routes. Unfortunately it's mid summer, it's wet; not ideal conditions,and just as i start climbing again I'll be back to work. Not to worry. I'm going to get into my summer night bouldering(might have to get a big group-kyloe could be scary at night)! The video is probably a bad example of how to push your grade as a lot of booze had been consumed and, well, you can't see very much but this IS footage of Matt of Penrith doing his first 7a in font.

Step 1: Source and Gather Materials!~~
~ Mattress protector or pillow case (old and smelly is great as it is likely to be familiar and encourage your pet to sit/sleep on it)
~ Pillow or Hobby Stuffing (how much you will need depends on the size bed)
~ Fabric to Cover the bed (Polar Fleece for something warm and soft for the gentle pets, or a canvas/drill for the tougher types, or an old blanket, doona/quilt cover)
~ Thread, any colour you like to match your fabric, go for an upholstery thread if you can as its a bit stronger.
~ Scissors, sharp enough to cut the fabric doubled over.
~ Soft Sewing tape measure and or Ruler.
~ Pen or Pencil or Tailors Chalk for marking.
~ Sewing Pins to secure your fabric.
~ Patience and a little creativity.

I drink two gallons of skim milk per week. I'm not big by BB standards at all but I'm trying and I was talking with a coworked and he said I should put almond milk in my protein shakes rather than skim. He said it was way better but I told him to look at the nutrition and verify that statement as almond milk seems to have some sat. fat among a few other things. I know good fats are essential but is almond milk worth the swap from skim milk?

Thank goodness its winter - problem solving help needed
I'm trying to figure out if I'm looking at a dead resistor pack or blower, perhaps you guys can help me.
So two nights ago, I hopped in my car after a shopping trip and noticed the air wasn't working anymore. It was working on the way there, but not on the way back. This is different than the thermostat freezing over situation, I've seen that on long drives between cities, and this was a short 10 min jog.
Yesterday, I tried again, no luck, still dead. So I tried a few mid drive experiments: when I turn the fan knob, nothing detectable changes. The other buttons seem to work. I turned the knob to 1 then clicked on the AC - I could hear the change behind me and feel the loss in power... just not feel the cold air. I pressed the recirculate button and that tiny passive air you get just from driving with the vent open went away. Those buttons seem to still be working. When I turned the fan knob, I don't hear any fan noise. As for the temperature selector knob, I didn't test anything (didn't see how I could detect the results)
In other news, I'm long overdue for an air filter change. Last oil change, I wanted to do it, but time was short and I skipped it. With the super charger they relocated my air filter to be EVEN HARDER to access. Hard to believe it's possible I know... Could that have caused any issues?

Apart from fuses I'll add one more thought. Possibly just something loose.
The other day I used my four-way flashers. After that my turn signals stopped working. I checked the fuses and they were OK. A few hours later everything started working perfectly again.
I searched on Lotus Talk and noticed that I'm not the only one that had had issues with the four-way flashers. I know your problem is with the Fan but I wouldn't be surprised if the same "solution" works.

Winter so I left this on the backburner while work flogged me
I checked the fuses a while back, they weren't the culprit.
Anyway, I did a check last night and my second post might not be 100% correct. I was at highway speeds and when I hit the recirc button, now the external air wouldn't close off (so I was still being blown by a trickle of air). Haven't tested the AC to see a loss of power again.
Does this still sound like a resistor issue?

New revelation: I had planned to replace the resistor this weekend (guess I'll keep it for the future when it eventually breaks) but yesterday the fan started working yesterday with no action on my part (Other than leaving it on 3 when I turned the car off). What connections should I be checking to prevent it breaking again? It was still working this morning and AC definitely works

Still betting on the resistor pack. I think mine did the off and on thing, then off forever. Before taking half the car apart, look up on this forum the fix where you build a new pack and relocate it. It will take you a little searching for the parts and some fabrication time to make the mounting plate, but well worth it. I also asked (I think in that same thread) about slight substitutions for the resistors because one was not readily available. My substitution works fine. Anyway get the parts (and a piece of heavy wire) and do the fabs before taking the clam off. Then it's a one day affair.

Sounds like the resistor pack to me.
Mine did the on/off thing for a couple of weeks before finally failing completely. I also could smell the plastic insulation burning sometimes presumably because the connections are heating up due to the weak connection. I replaced mine with the factory upgrade, which is much, much better design than the original resistor pack (and not that expensive) because I didn't want to mess around with trying to fabricate something. It is a massive PITA to replace because of the number of components that need to be removed or moved and getting the heater box in is a pain, but it is doable in a weekend...

Welcome to Motorsports Monday, a recap of the thrills and spills from the weekend of racing. Today we cover the Italian Grand Prix, Continental Tire Sports Car Festival, Federated Auto Parts 500 and much more for the weekend of September 8-9, 2012. Do your best to keep your wheels on the ground.
Formula One – Italian Grand Prix: Feud? What feud? Lewis Hamilton and his McLaren team are all buddy-buddy after his wire-to-wire victory at Monza, and while it's clear that things are far from rosy, the relationship seems to be repaired for now. Hamilton creeped a little closer to points leader Fernando Alonso, who finished third on Ferrari's home turf in a fantastic drive from tenth place. Sauber young gun Sergio Perez stormed through the field to capture a thrilling second place finish, and solidify his standing as a top candidate for Felipe Massa's seat next season. Meanwhile, both Red Bull drivers failed to finish as both Sebastien Vettel and Mark Webber suffered alternator issues that nearly destroyed their engines. Vettel and Alonso were involved in a controversial incident midway through the race while battling for position, and the stewards rules that Vettel made an illegal maneuver and sentenced him to a drive-thru penalty. Red Bull supporters are up in arms, but videos like this show that Alonso left more room for Vettel on the same turn in 2011 than Vettel did for Alonso last weekend. Rules is rules, Seb. Only three points separate Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen and Vettel for second, third and fourth position in the championship standings – we can expect more awesome action when Formula One returns with the Singapore Grand Prix in two weeks.
GRAND-AM – Continental Tire Sports Car Festival: Hot off the news that GRAND-AM will merge with the American Le Mans Series in 2014, the field put together a great show for the Continental Tire Sports Car Festival at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey. The No. 90 Corvette DP car for Spirit of Daytona held off a hard charging No. 99 Corvette of GAINSCO/Bob Stallings and No. 8 Starworks Motorsport Riley-Ford to take the overall victory in the prototype class. Team Sahlen wrapped up the GT class victory in their Mazda RX-8, but a second place finish wrapped up the class championship for the Ferrari of AIM Autosport. GRAND-AM will return for the final race of the season at Lime Rock Park on September 30.
NASCAR Sprint Cup – Federated Auto Parts 500 at Richmond International Raceway: Clint Bowyer battled the track, the hungry field and a rain delay to bring his Toyota to its second win of the season in the Sprint Cup regular season finale. But the real story is the twelve-driver field that has qualified for the Chase – Jeff Gordon stormed to a second place finish to barely beat out Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards, among others. Bowyer will be there, alongside heavyweights like Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. The 2012 NASCAR champion will be crowned after this ten-race playoff series, beginning with the Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway this weekend.
NASCAR Nationwide Series – Virginia 529 College Savings 250: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished second to win the race (we don't recognize Sprint Cup drivers like outright winner Kevin Harvick) and pull within one point of the Chevrolet of championship leader Elliot Sadler. Michael Annett had a strong showing in second (ok, fifth) with Austin Dillon right behind him to hold onto third in the standings. With eight races remaining in the season, Nationwide continues to the Dollar General 300 at Chicagoland Speedway this weekend.
International GT Open: With just two events to go, the field is tightening up in this European road racing series and races 11 and 12 on the Hungaroring were no exception. The Corvette of Miguel Ramos and Raffaelle Giammaria took a close victory in the first event, while the Aston Martin Vantage of Matteo Malucelli and Alvaro Barba had an even closer victory in the second – extending their championship points lead in the process. Matching Ferraris came in second place by less than one second in each race, first by the duo of Gianmaria Bruni and Federico Leo and then the team of Juan Manuel Lopez and Andrea Montermini. The Porsche squad of Marco Holzer and Nick Tandy finished third in Race 11 and fifth in Race 12, which was enough to move them into second place overall. The exciting series heads to Monza, a race fan's dream mix of cars and track, on September 28-30.

The book is part of Praeger Publisher's (an imprint of ABC-CLIO) "Contemporary Health and Living" series, under the review of Harvard physician Dr. Julie Silver. It is an in-depth exploration of a hidden class of alcoholics. The author challenges the stereotype of the "skid-row" alcoholic by lifting the veil on alcoholics who believe they can hide behind their external successes. This book is intended to inform the audience that being successful professionally or personally and being an alcoholic are not mutually exclusive. Alcoholism may manifest differently in individuals, but all alcoholics have the same disease. Research, interviews and the author's personal experiences as both a high-functioning alcoholic (HFA) and professional experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) are integrated into this comprehensive work. The first part of the book is comprised of chapters describing characteristics, behavior patterns and experiences of HFAs throughout highschool, college, graduate school and as professionals. Through the use of journal entries and reflective pieces at the end of each chapter, the author offers her first-hand perspectives of the thought distortions that this disease created within her own alcoholic mind.
The second part of the book focuses on recovery and the obstacles that HFAs and all alcoholics face in terms of getting treatment. These include transcending the powerful levels of denial that exist within our society. The Twelve Steps of recovery are examined as well as the difficulties that HFAs face when engaging in this recovery process. Finally, there is an exploration of the actions that sober HFAs find necessary not only to get sober—but to maintain long-term sobriety and find peace and spirituality within their lives.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (Catholic Universe Bulletin) - Spirituality surrounds those growing up in India. The tinkle of the Hindu temple bells on the wayside; the muezzin�s call from the mosque at noon; the distant clang of church bells were some of the more obvious signs.
CLEVELAND INDIANS - Maria and Kulwant Coutinho pray with their children Kiernan, 10, and Krysta-Marie, 7. The Coutinhos have incorporated regular prayer into family life as they observe customs from their Indian Catholic culture. (Catholic Universe Bulletin/George Shuba)
�My parents and relatives were examples to me of how to live the Catholic faith; we all went to church and I was a witness to their relationship with each other and with others,� Countinho says.
In 1985 Coutinho immigrated to the United States and is today a parishioner of Our Lady of Peace Church. She strives to make her Catholic faith meaningful to her children.
�I want my kids to have the same faith that I grew up with,� she says. �I continue the traditional morning and night prayers with Keiran, who is 10 years old, and Krista Marie, who is 7 years old. Besides Sunday Mass, I attend a weekday Mass where Keiran is the altar server.�
In her home, religious pictures sit next to Indian artifacts. Her children attend the parish school of religion every Sunday. With her husband Khulwant Aulak, the family attends prayer meetings and events held by the Indian Catholic community.
About 300 Indian Catholics are scattered throughout Greater Cleveland, largely attending churches in the suburbs. Several families of the Syro-Malabar Church meet every third Sunday of the month at Our Lady of Peace Church in Cleveland�s Shaker Square neighborhood, where a priest from Chicago celebrates the liturgy in Malayalam, a local language in Kerala. There also is a small group of Knanaya Catholics, a sub-group of Syro-Malabar Catholics from Kerala.
Small minority
When Judy D�Cruz mentions she is from India, people often presume that she is a Hindu. That�s not surprising, because 80.5 percent of the estimated population of 1.1 billion in India is Hindu. Muslims comprise 13.4 percent and Christians 2.3 percent. Because of her Portugese last name, she is sometimes mistaken as being Hispanic. People find it hard to understand that someone with a last name like Rodrigues, Gonsalves, Pereira, Jacob or Mathew can be as Indian as the Taj Mahal.
Michael Sreshta has to explain to people that his first name was not changed when he immigrated. Christians in India do have names like John and Margaret, Michael and Barbara.
This can be traced back to the long history of Christianity in India, dating back to A.D. 52 when St. Thomas the Apostle, as a missionary to India, landed in Kerala. St. Bartholomew also is said to have visited India.
The Portugese influence began with the arrival of Vasco da Gama in 1498. The purpose of his visit: Christians and spices. Large-scale conversions took place mostly along the west coast of India.
In 1542 St. Francis Xavier arrived and was responsible for converting many Indians. His body is venerated in the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa, which remained a Portugese territory until 1961. Then there is the influence of the English as India was also a British colony from 1858 to 1947.
Many people associate India with Mother Teresa. Indians, too, are unaware that the only Catholic canonized saint of India was Gonzalo Garcia, who was martyred in Japan in 1597.
According to the 2001 census, of the 24 million Christians in India, about 70 percent are Roman Catholic including 300,000 members of the Syro-Malankara Church and 3.5 million of the Syro-Malabar Church which was founded by St. Thomas.
Comfortable in church
For Iona Abraham from St. John Neumann Church, Strongsville, �being Catholic allowed me to assimilate easily into American culture by natural membership. After all, we were brought up with common rituals in the Catholic Church in India.�
Most Indians are comfortable with their faith here, but with some it takes a while to stop being conscious about being the only Indians in church.
Indian Catholics have lived in Cleveland since the 1960s. Pamela and Dennis Rebello were involved in establishing the India Association in 1964, and Pamela became the first editor of the Indian newspaper The Lotus.
In recent years the Indian Catholics of Northeast Ohio formed a committee to organize spiritual and social events to bring the community together. The diversity of Indian cultures is one of the challenges facing the organization.
�What unites us is our religion,� says Father Albert Veigas, an Indian priest who is pastor at Holy Trinity Church, Bedford Heights. He is active in the local Indian community.
�We need to be aware of the rich heritage of Christianity in India, which has the highest number of vocations in any country,� he says. �Families have a tradition of daily prayer, reverence for the elders, etc. Coming together helps children in faith formation.�
Forging community
Two feasts are celebrated each year by the community: the feast of St Thomas the Apostle in July and the feast of St. Francis Xavier in December. Besides, the community has been hosting prayer meetings and trying to reach out to newcomers in the area.
�Our goal is to forge a community that cares for each other, prays and celebrates together, helping each other grow in faith,� said Roy D�Sa, a parishioner at St. Joseph Church, Strongsville.
At social gatherings one will find a blend of cuisine � fragrant basmati rice pulao, spicy chicken vindaloo, pork sorpatel and fish curry nestle comfortably next to turkey and mashed potatoes or lasagna.
It was in 1999 that Abe (now deceased) and Annie Kuttothara of Loudonville became the first Indian representatives at the Asian Ministry of the Cleveland Diocese along with Gerard D�Souza, a Lakewood attorney.
Notre Dame Sister Rita Mary Harwood, diocesan secretary for parish life and development, recalls that her visit to India years ago �was a deep spiritual experience. I met God in ways that I had never known God before.� She appreciates the richness the Indian community brings to the greater church and is excited to see the community coming together more closely.

Hi there,
My son Disney Osmond Maxwell came to Toledo in 2009 Jan, to do his MS at the University of Toledo. He had done his 4 year under graduation in Engineering in Kerala, India before leaving for the USA. I have been shocked to know that people in America know so little about people like us in India. It was a surprise for many to know that Disney is a Roman Catholic of the Latin Rite. He comes from a traditional Roman Catholic family of. Latin Rite and both his parents trace their faith back to many generations to be of Portuguese descent. If you look up history you will know that the. Quilon Diocese was the oldest diocese in India and it is in Kerala and it is Disney's parents diocese which again traces it's inception to the 13th century!!
The Catholics in Kerala belong to three different Rites. The Syro Malabar Catholics who call themselves the Roman Catholics actually follow the Syrian Rite So also the Malankara Rite Catholics. The Quilon Diocese follows the Latin Rite and except for the Anglo-Indian community to which Disney belongs, the rest of the local Catholics started calling themselves Latin Catholics in order to belong to a backward class to avail of government aid. Most of them belong to the fishing community and are financially challenged.They are actually Latin Rite Roman Catholics.
It may surprise the christians in USA that in Kerala we have a large population of Christians, not just Catholics but Christians of all denominations including the Pentecosts.
Incidentally, Disney's maternal grandmother's first cousin is the present Bishop of the Quilon Diocese, Most Rev. Dr Stanley Roman. Disney's maternal uncle's wife's paternal uncle is Rev Fr. Tommy Rodrigues who is on duty at the Veteran's Home in Sandusky, a wonderful priest.
I am happy to also say that my son Dusney is involved very actively in the Young Adults Group in Toledo. He is at present working in the Health Applications section as Software Developer Fter having graduated and enjoyis his stay in Toledo very much.
Our visit to Toledo is overdue and we hope to make it there by end April 2015. Disney's father is Mr A G Maxwell who did his religious studies in Theology and Philosophy, was a deacon and is now teaching Latin at the St Raphael's Minor Seminary.
Please arrange for us to meet the community there when we visit so we can share many interesting facts about Catholicism in India.

Morning Walkthrough: Jermaine O'Neal could be back by Christmas
The Morning Walkthrough is a set of links to Boston Celtics articles throughout the internet, designed to get your day started the right way.
A. Sherrod Blakely, CSNNE – "Jermaine O'Neal spent about 20 minutes on the Boston Celtics' practice court on Monday. And the results were, uh, just what he expected. 'I was as rusty as I thought I would be,' O'Neal told CSNNE.com. Considering he hasn't played in a game since Nov. 8, being off his game was a given. But just being able to run up the floor, and feel little to no pain afterwards, was yet another indication that he is moving past the left knee injury that has sidelined him for the last 12 games. 'Hopefully in the next week-in-a-half to two weeks, I'll be playing no problem,' he said."
Steve Bulpett, Boston Herald – "Bradley has battled an ankle problem and is just starting to get in rhythm. After a slow start to his NBA career, things are moving rather quickly. 'When my name is called, I'm kind of shocked sometimes,' he said. 'But it's definitely exciting. And the coaches are always saying, 'Whenever your name is called, just be ready.' That's the main thing I'm thinking about, just going out there, being ready and playing hard.' He's playing hard, but not yet instinctively. Where he will soon become more fluid offensively, one can almost hear Bradley thinking when he has the ball. As a result, he's made just 2-of-9 shots — his first NBA field goal coming on a jumper with 7:26 left Sunday. 'I think I'm hesitating,' he said. 'I usually would take the shot, because in college I shot more. But now I'm trying to look for my teammates more. Then it's like, I'm way open so shoot it. But then it's last minute. I think it's more knowing what to look for, and that comes with the reps — me playing a little more and knowing what teammates can and can't do. So I'm learning every single day. I try to watch Rondo even though we're very different players. I just try to watch him as much as I can. He knows the game so well. But I just need to watch more film and get reps in, and I think I'll be fine. Doc (Rivers) just told me to go out there and play my game.'"
Chris Forsberg, ESPN Boston – "'[Sunday's minutes were] huge for [Bradley],' said Rivers. 'You can see there's a lot of work to do offensively, he just doesn't really know what to look for at times. But, listen, he was not even a point in college. He was more of a 1-2, so it's going to take him time to run a ball club. Defensively, I've been saying this, he can play in our league. He can play in the in-between game with offensive shots. But as far as running the club, that's going to take a little while.' His surgically-repaired ankle still isn't 100 percent, but the combination of tape and a brace are helping him get through. Bradley believes his athleticism will jump up a notch as that ankles near full health and he's only going to look more comfortable as he learns more of the playbook. Until then, he's going to stay ready and get by on his natural talents. 'Teammates always tell me, whenever [Rivers] calls your name, just be ready,' said Bradley. 'That was my thing, go out there and play hard.'"
Julian Benbow, Boston Globe – "'We're playing good,' said Paul Pierce. 'But we feel like we're going to be playing our best basketball probably later in the year because of the injuries.' Since 2007, the Celtics have been notoriously fast starters. The first season the Big Three (Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen) were together, they started 29-3. The year after that they started 27-2. Last season, it was 23-5. It was around this time last season when some of the screws started falling off the machine. Marquis Daniels went down with a wrist injury. Pierce missed the Christmas Day game with a knee infection. From there, no one seemed to be immune. Glen Davis sprained his ankle. Rondo was hampered by hamstring issues. Garnett hyperextended his right knee. Spasms flared in Allen's back. All the nagging injuries slowed the freight train dramatically. 'Last year was last year,' Rivers said. 'I don't know what you can learn from that. We got hurt. Last year, Kevin got hurt, I mean we got injured. So yeah, if we get injured, then we've got problems, but I don't really think about it that much.'"
Fred Kerber, New York Post – "Sources close to the court maintained the Celtics (16-4), playing without Rajon Rondo (hamstring) then sitting Shaquille O'Neal (sore right calf) after halftime, almost broke a sweat in the second half in dealing the Nets their worst beating of the season. Nate Robinson filled in for Rondo and scored 21 points. 'When I shoot, I feel I can make every shot,' Robinson said. 'I feel like I can't be stopped.'"

During this past Week I have been "Globe Blogging" and have reported from the road about various Global Entrepreneurship Week (Nov. 16-22) policy events among others from around the world. Entrepreneurs, development organizations, policy leaders and entrepreneurship researchers lent their voices and experiences to some series policy dialogues. When top-level officials engaged in Global Entrepreneurship Week they sent a message to their constituents about the government's support for entrepreneurship, making young minds even more comfortable with the idea of doing good through the marketplace. Let's hope decision makers will be motivated to more urgently enact regulatory reforms and advance other polices to bolster their nation's entrepreneurial climate.

The effort promises to test and launch new ideas to improve math and science education outcomes, and most importantly, our children's interest in these fields as platforms to tackle many pressing challenges.

Detroit Tigers v New York Yankees - Game Two
Related Stories
Major League Baseball reportedly is threatening to kick Alex Rodriguez out of the game for life unless the New York Yankees star agrees not to fight a lengthy suspension for his role in the sport's latest drug scandal.
Whether Commissioner Bud Selig would actually issue a lifetime suspension was unclear and a permanent ban reportedly could be shortened by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz to about 200 games.
The number of players likely to be disciplined stood at 14 Wednesday. Front and center is Rodriguez, baseball's highest-paid player and the most prominent one linked in media reports over the last seven months to Biogenesis of America, a closed Florida anti-aging clinic that allegedly distributed banned performance-enhancing drugs.
The Yankees expected Rodriguez to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, attempting to obstruct MLB's investigation, and not being truthful with MLB in the past. Baseball has considered suspending him for violations of its labor contract and drug agreement.
At first, MLB and the union thought talks on the Biogenesis probe could be completed by Friday, but negotiations to avoid grievances are likely to push back announcements until at least Saturday or Sunday.
Others accused in media reports of receiving performance-enhancing drugs from Biogenesis include a Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz, San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera and Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta.

|Nursing is an interactive, holistic, and therapeutic process of caring for and about patients, families, and communities across the life span. The nurse is a competent, knowledgeable, accountable and collaborative member of the multidisciplinary health care team. Utilizing caring behaviors, communication skills, critical thinking, and professional behaviors, the nurse, as a patient advocate, manages patient care and teaches self-care to promote wellness, optimal health and/or a peaceful death.
Nurses are employed in health care facilities, physician's offices, home care agencies, industries, and long term care facilities. There are numerous additional opportunities for nurse employment. According to the US Department of Labor (Bureau of Labor Statistics) website, the mean annual salary for a Registered Nurse in South Carolina is estimated to be $59,000 (May 2006).
