Join the youth movement for liberty!
Get active and organize on your campus. Learn how to launch a YAL chapter today!
Your generous support helps us build our campus network to reach tens of thousands of students.
(Click image to see our chapter on the local news)
The Young Americans for Liberty at the University of Tennessee held their largest event of the semester, "To Honor Life: An Evening on the Death Penalty". A huge crowed of students attended the event despite being able to watch the Lady Volunteers play a good basketball game. Although we were not joined by any other student organizations, three very different organizations proudly took part in our event. These include the following: Conservatives Concerned about the Death Penalty, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty.
People can come together no matter their political ideology for a very important issue. Yes, we held an event with a conservative group and the NAACP. At the event our members made sure to pass out the remaining YAL materials including Constitutions we had left. The event started with
Whenever a state has the power to execute, there is the potential for it to abuse this power. An abuse of this power is currently on display in Texas, which is trying to execute a man with severe mental illness.
Texas has scheduled an execution date of December 3 for Scott Panetti, who was convicted of murdering his wife's parents in 1992. Panetti suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. Prior to the murders of which he was convicted, Panetti was hospitalized over a dozen times for mental illness.
His trial left little doubt about the severe nature of his mental illness. Panetti represented himself, dressed up in a cowboy suit, and tried to subpoena Jesus Christ, John F. Kennedy, and the Pope.
The state has no justification executing someone with severe mental illness. Doing so would not make Texas safer but would rather be a
For Halloween, Young Americans for Liberty at Millersville University created a Tax Your Stash event as our first fiscally focused activism event of the year. Up until this point, our chapter had only done social activism events, so we put our heads together and brainstormed to create this fun event!
At our Tax Your Stash table, we had four Trick or Treat pumpkin containers filled with candy. We encouraged students when walking by to take four pieces of candy. We told them things like, "you've worked so hard this semester!" "This if YOUR candy!" "You deserve this candy!" and really emphasized that the candy was theirs.
Once students got to the end of the line of candy, and were satisfied with their "income," we stopped them before they could go and informed them that unfortunately, even though this was their candy, we as big government needed to take some back for local, state, and federal taxes purposes. We then took back 1/4 of their candy.
This was a really fun way to talk to students on campus about taxes. Many students on campus weren't aware of how much was taken out of paychecks for taxes and were astonished at the thought that a government could do that without an individuals consent. The best quote of the day came from a student, who when told that we were taking 1/4th of her candy replied, "but that's MY candy!" We feel that this was a super successful event and hope to replicate the event in some fashion for tax day in April.
On November 17 at 7 PM, Ursinus YAL gathered to take part in the Jeffrey Tucker video chat!
We had 18 students in attendance for the chat. There were other schools across the country that took part in the chat as well. Millersville, Houston, and Auburn were some of the other schools that were in the chat.
Jeff was talking to us from San Diego. The chat lasted about an hour and Jeff covered topics such as F.A. Hayek's essays and Bitcoin. We learned about the history of Hayek and how important
On October 27, Young Americans for Liberty at Millersville University held an activism event to bring awareness to police brutality, leading to much attention on campus including coverage in our school's newspaper!
YAL members gathered four times through out the school day in high traffic areas on campus. In groups of three, we had one person lay on the ground as a body, one person trace the body with chalk, and one person hand out pamphlets on police brutality that we received from the Cato Institute. Inside of each of the body outlines we wrote the name of an American who was killed in a police brutality incident.
We were able to put body outlines all over our campus, including
On November 17, Young Americans for Liberty at Millersville was honored to participate in a virtual speaking session with economist Jeffrey Tucker!
For our event we had 26 liberty-lovers show up to hear Mr. Tucker speak. His discussion was based around Hayek and the technological revolution. He also spoke on crypto-currency, which our group has been interested in learning more about.
This was our chapters first virtual speaker through Young Americans for Liberty and we deemed this event a success!
The Appalachian State University chapter of Young Americans for Liberty recently hosted guest speaker Bill Frezza. The event took place in the Plemmons Student Union in Rough Ridge Room. It was an evening of both challenging discussion and unique insight from Frezza.
Bill Frezza, with experience as an engineer, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist, used his experiences to communicate compelling stories ranging from the creation of the digital world to the corruption in Congress. Rather than spout opinion, Frezza used the format to articulate these stories in a way that engendered thoughtful discussion and open interaction between himself and the audience.
The audience was entirely engaged, and formulated questions eliciting thoughtful response from Frezza. A crucial message presented by Frezza was the reality of our generation being left with an economic, foreign policy, and debt mess. The
Stories have always been used to impart lessons to one another. Perhaps it is the human element within stories that allows us to connect with them so well or perhaps it is the reassurance that the struggles we now face have indeed been confronted and overcome by others before us. Regardless, storytelling still remains as one of the most effective means of teaching and is the focus of Bill Frezza's new speaking tour "Free Pizza and Beer" which came to UNC on Wednesday, November 12.
The event was attended by UNC YAL and other interested individuals, with a total attendance of just over 40 people. During the course of the talk, Bill Frezza, a noted figure in the tech industry as well as the host of RealClear Radio hour, told such stories as that of AT&T and the government monopoly they held for almost 70 years. In that time, Mr. Frezza noted, everybody was equal; everybody had the same telephone. And yet at the same time there was no innovation, no forward progress. Forced equality, he concluded, is thus only effective if one excludes all other consequences and focuses on equality alone.
This was but one of the lessons that Mr. Frezza imparted that night, all focused on the importance of liberty and our ability to be agents for the positive impact that it brings not only to our economy but also to our society as a whole.
Elizabethtown YAL honored Dr. W. Wesley McDonald for the Choose Charity National Activism Project. He was an ally of our YAL chapter and an all around inspirational professor. Sadly, Dr. McDonald passed away after health complication at the beginning of the fall semester.
(Pictured standing on the right at a guest speaker event he co-hosted with YAL)
Specializing in political philosophy, Dr. McDonald was always more than willing to provide advice, attend chapter events, join in discussions, and even recruit new members to the ideas of liberty.
In honor of the idea of true charity, our YAL chapter wanted to reach out Dr. McDonald's widow, Mrs. Alice Baumgart. We decided to assist her with a complete fall clean-up of her yard. This included raking and bagging leaves, as well as tying up other loose ends around the house.
Mrs. Baumgart was very appreciative and provided us with refreshments for our efforts. All in all, our chapter members enjoyed taking the time to help a neighbor in need. Overall, society may push us to only think of ourselves, but there is
Over Veterans Day weekend, Paschal High School's YAL chapter hosted the first ever, "A Night in Utopia," a one night camping trip just outside Fort Worth city limits. The trip was open to anyone who had ever signed up for YAL at one of our tabling events, and for $20, PHSYAL provided your food, drink, and tent!
Fort Worth is home to Backwoods, an outdoors equipment retail store. Backwoods offers guided expeditions to nearly every creek and cranny of the world. PHSYAL had a backwoods guide come out to teach an environmental survival seminar and lead a nature walk through the woods.
After our Nature Walk we gathered around a fire for dinner and our chapter president's presentation for the evening: "How the environment would thrive in Ron Paul's America."
Finally, We enjoyed smores under the stars and listened to guitar around the campfire.
Our success can be measured by the 27 attendees, and the 24 who came to our next meeting on Wednesday!
Special Thanks to Backwoods and everyone who helped make last weekend such a success.

Have you ever encountered a puzzle in a game that utterly stumped you, then wondered why it seemed so trivially easy when you stepped away and came back to it after doing something else for a while?
I have, especially on a recent playthrough of an indie puzzle game called "QUBE" (http://qube-game.com/). For those not familiar, QUBE is a first person puzzle game (kind of like Portal) where you manipulate special blocks in the environment to solve puzzles and exit testing chambers. Different colored blocks do different things, and once you enter a room where multiple blocks come into play, the puzzles can get really tricky and require some real insight to solve. For example, in one area you cause a clear globe to roll down a slope towards a purple receptacle, and when the ball passes through a blue field it turns blue. The insight needed to solve the puzzle is that you need to get the ball to roll first through a red field, then a blue field so that it turns purple (red + blue = purple) to match the purple receptacle at the bottom of the slope.

Some interesting information has just turned up in relation to Call of Duty Ghosts on the Xbox One. As you may know, one user on Twitter has received his Xbox One early, only to receive a console ban from Microsoft in return.
While this ban is a temporary one, the user in question has confirmed though that he cannot play Call of Duty Ghosts offline, as according to him the game requires an internet connection to play. Just to note an important point in all of this, the user Moonlightswami has already installed the Xbox One Day 1 patch which is thought to remove all previous DRM restrictions that Microsoft initially had in place.
He is providing an ongoing log via his Twitter account and adds that he cannot even access the system settings due to the ban. It goes without saying though that if he has already installed the Day One update, then he should be able to play through the COD Ghosts campaign, regardless of a temporary Xbox Live ban correct?
At the moment, there has been no response from Microsoft or Infinity Ward regarding this, but obviously it could be specifically linked to this unique ban. If it isnt though, it could be a big issue if users still need an internet connection to be able to play Xbox One games offline, after installing the Day One patch.
What are your thoughts on this? Well update this when necessary, for now threat this as rumor.
UPDATE: Some new pictures have emerged online in conjunction with this story take a look at the part where it says offline play enabled on PS4. Well let you draw your own conclusions on this.

Ultimately that's why this guy got the console temporarily banned off XBL. MS knows it's not his fault he got the console early but they don't want him running into prerelease problems many of which will be fixed before launch and posting them all over twitter. Which he did do, so I can't blame MS for the preemptive PR strike. I wouldn't have blamed Sony if they'd done the same. They didn't, and made a statement they wouldn't, but that only means they were ready earlier. Which is good on them for how they handled this rollout, but they didn't have to be completely ready before Nov. 15th, they just were.

In a dark chamber, Morgause incants a powerful spell over seven dusty old statues of knights. For the first time in over three hundred years, the suits of armor begin to stir.
A farmer arrives in Camelot to report smoke over the Fortress of Idirsholas. Gaius tells Merlin that, over three hundred years ago, the seven noble Knights of Medhir were seduced by a sorcerer. As Uther bids Arthur to ride out and confirm that all is well in Irdisholas, Gaius warns Merlin not to be complacent - if someone has revived the Knights, then Camelot is under threat.
As Arthur, Merlin and a troupe of knights ride out, Morgana is visited at her window by a hawk carrying a message from Morgause, asking Morgana to meet her. That night, Morgana sneaks out of the castle and when she greets Morgause it is clear that the strange bond between the two women is as strong as ever. Morgause asks Morgana whose side she is truly on. Morgana insists she will help bring down Uther in any way she can. Pleased, Morgause gently sends Morgana to sleep and utters a powerful spell over her body.
The next day, Merlin and Arthur arrive at the Fortress of Idirsholas. At first, it appears empty but as the group make their way through the sinister hallways of the fortress, Merlin and Arthur are set upon by the Knights of Medhir. Swords are drawn and an epic fight ensues. Merlin uses magic to protect Arthur, but our heroes barely escape with their lives.
When Merlin and Arthur return to Camelot, they find the town deadly still. Every guard, knight, townsman and noblewoman is slumped over in a deep sleep. The boys enter the castle and discover it's the same there. It is clearly the work of magic, but who could have done such a thing, and why? Merlin and Arthur discover there is one person still awake - Morgana. They press her for answers, but she's terrified and confused.
As the Knights approach the castle, Merlin, Arthur and Morgana finally find Uther, slumped in deep sleep in a private chamber. Merlin makes an excuse to leave and desperately searches through his spell book for a cure. He tries one spell after another on a snoozing Gaius, but none work.
Desperate, Merlin goes to the Great Dragon, swearing on his mother's life that he will honor his promise to free the captive beast. The Dragon tells Merlin that powerful sleeping spells need a constant living presence to give them strength. The source of Camelot's pestilence is the witch, Morgana, and the only way to end the magic is to kill her. Merlin is horrified, but the Dragon is firm. In shock, and still uncertain, Merlin grabs a bottle of poison from Gaius' supplies.
As the Knights of Medhir enter the castle, Arthur decides the only hope it to get Uther out of the palace. They struggle to drag him through the corridors but the sleeping spell begins to affect the boys, too. Arthur bravely takes the Knights on singlehanded, ordering the others to protect his father. Morgana learns that Morgause is in the castle and her suspicions are confirmed - this is her fault. Arthur steels himself; he will carry on till the end if it gives Merlin and Morgana any chance of getting his father to safety. Ignoring Merlin's pleas, Arthur heads out to make a last stand. And that's when Merlin makes his terrible decision...
He adds the poison to a water bottle and offers it to Morgana. Morgana drinks, and almost instantly begins to fade. Outside the room, Morgause can sense the life draining from her sister, and frantically battles into the room. As Arthur turns his fight back to the Knights, demands that Merlin reveal how he poisoned Morgana, but Merlin won't do so unless Morgause undoes the magic driving the Knights. Stalemate. Who will back down?
Arthur is disarmed and pinned to the wall by one of the Knights of Medhir - it looks like the end. Suddenly, another sword parries the Knight's blow! Arthur turns to face...Sir Leon. His men have started to wake!
Merlin hands Morgause the empty poison bottle and questions why she cares so much about Morgana. Emotional Morgause admits they shared a mother; Morgana is her half sister. The Knights of Medhir crumple to the floor and Arthur and his men charge into the council chambers just as Morgause weaves a powerful spell. When the air clears, Morgause has gone...and so has Morgana.
The Great Dragon is pleased to see the young warlock. A nervous Merlin asks the Dragon to promise he will not harm Camelot once he is free of his chains. The Dragon refuses to make any more bargains. Though uncertain, Merlin knows he must keep his promise. He raises a sword of the Knights of Medhir, incants a spell, and brings the blade down on the Dragon's chains. Merlin watches as the Dragon flies up, up and away, free at last.

Last summer's "We Are One" yoga event, sponsored by Lululemon Athletica, was held on a gorgeous August night. It was made special by eight local yoga teachers who brought a little something different to the table, depending on the style of yoga each taught. This year looks to be even better. Eight teachers will still teach, but the local group Bhagavan Kirtan will kick things off. An hourlong class follows, then 30-minute yoga workshops and a final dance party. Everything starts at 5:30 p.m. Sunday in Monument Valley Park, behind the Fine Arts Center, 30 W. Dale St. It's free. Details: 633-8157, firstname.lastname@example.com.

BAGHDAD (AP) — A car exploded outside a southern Iraqi marketplace on Wednesday, killing at least eight people and wounding 28 in the latest deadly attack in the nation's spiraling cycle of violence.
The strike in the Shiite town of Zubaidiyah brought the day's death toll to 11 before noon.
Police said the car was parked at a market in Zubaidiyah, located about 70 kilometers (45 miles) south of Baghdad. At least one child and two women were among the dead, local police and health officials said.
Resident Hussein Jassim said the bomb struck a usually placid town, leaving bodies littered on the ground and cars and trucks in flames.
"Everybody rushed to the explosion site and we saw horrible scenes that we, unlike other Iraqis, are not used to," said Jassim, a teacher who was in his house when he heard the bombing. "Nobody in the town expected this because we thought we had been spared the violence hitting the country. But it seems our turn has come at last."
"The peaceful people of this town are afraid now that more attacks are to come," Jassim said.
The 10 a.m. blast that was eerily similar to two market bombings in southern Iraq on Tuesday, a day that saw at least 40 people killed and scores more wounded in attacks across the country.
The onslaught began just ahead of a religious pilgrimage this week that could attract even more violence.
Security forces have struggled to contain a surge in attacks over the past month, which has damaged the government's shaky credibility among Iraqis and stoked fears the country could slip into chaos without the help of American troops that withdrew last December.
The spike is blamed partially on Iraq's paralyzing political crisis, which pits Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's Shiite-led government against rival Shiite politicians, Sunni Muslims and ethnic Kurds who complain they've been sidelined from power. Also, escalating fighting in neighboring Syria may have allowed Iraqi insurgents to grab hold of weapons in circulation as order breaks down.
Shiite pilgrims, security forces and government officials are three prime targets of the Sunni-based insurgency that is linked to al-Qaida. Many believe the insurgency seeks to exploit ethnic and sectarian tensions in hopes of dragging the country back to the brink of civil war.
In Baghdad, a string of morning drive-by shootings targeting security forces and government officials left three more Iraqis dead. In all three attacks — which targeted two police officers and a parliament employee — gunmen used silenced pistols and fled before they could be captured.
It is unclear if the shootings were related, although the attacks unfolded over 90 minutes in Sunni and Shiite neighborhoods on opposite sides of the capital.
All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

Tennessee State Fair Captures the Imagination
As the days of summer shorten into crisp nights heralding the change of season, Tennesseans celebrate with fairs and festivals across the state. This weekend marks the start of the Tennessee State Fair, which runs for 10 days from September 7-16 at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville.
Except for a four-year span during World War II, the Tennessee State Fair has been held every year since 1906. It's a tradition that takes people back to the roots of an agricultural society when life was simple and uncomplicated, so this is your chance to revisit that experience.
What are your favorite memories from visiting the fair as a child? For me it's always been about the animals. This year a brand new sand arena for equestrian events will showcase barrel racing, English and Western jumping, a hippotherapy clinic, equine clinic, roping competition, horse shows, Miss Mule Day, the Tennessee Mounted Patrol and Tennessee Walking Horses.
Don't forget the excitement of pig racing and mule pulling, or see if you can pick the blue ribbon winners as sheep, cows, pigs and goats parade before the judges.
The best way to enjoy the fair is to check the schedule online and pick the day of your favorite events. For all the kids among you – and for kids who've never grown up – it's hard to beat Maggie Moo's Ice Cream Eating Contest for delicious fun! That happens Sunday, September 9, 1:30-2:00 p.m. and each winner will receive a special trophy.
The thrilling rides on the Midway are the highlight of every fair. The sights, sounds and smells are intoxicating. Who can resist the aroma of fresh roasted corn and sweet funnel cakes, sticky pink cotton candy and ice cold snowcones, or competing for prized stuffed toys with balls and squirt guns?
The State Fair is also a wonderful opportunity for local artists to demonstrate their skills. As you explore the creative art exhibits you're bound to become inspired to test your own talents. Maybe you could bake a winning pie, come up with a glorious floral arrangement, try your hand at quilting, or take up art lessons. Photo exhibits remind us of our different perspectives on life, and the intricate wonders of creation.
If you like a more interactive experience, there are demonstrations of hand weaving, woodturning and pottery, with the opportunity to chat with artisans at work.
This year's State Fair will also feature a new Green Collar Exhibit, with educational exhibits and demonstrations focusing on green, sustainable practices. Learn how to make your own biodiesel from disgarded cooking oil, hear about Dr. Cliff Ricketts' ride across America in his solar and hydrogen powered car, or glean great tips on backyard farming – lasagna gardening, backyard composting, preserving fresh produce, rooftop gardening and backyard poultry.
Fitting for Music City, the free entertainment line-up includes 10 days of bluegrass music on the Bluegrass Stage, and feature acts such as The Grascals, Delicious Blues Stew, The WannaBeatles and Terri Lynn Weaver. The Grascals, named Instrumental Group of the Year at the 39th Annual SPBGMA Awards in 2012, will perform on Thursday, Sept. 13, in the grandstand.
On September 7 & 8 at the fair, Beauty Queens across the state are donating their crowns for terminally ill children at the Monroe Carrell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. The children will be crowned 'Queen for a Day' later in September.
The Tennessean's "Ms. Cheap" will emcee a fun course of fashion, food and fitness on FiftyForward Free Fair Day. Join her in the Women's Building on Tuesday, September 11, 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Nashville Symphony Maestro Giancarlo Guerrero will make a special guest appearance!
The Tennessee State Fair is a great time to come together and celebrate life! Pick up your tickets and join in the fun!

The Neighbor Lady: Enticingly healthful spin on pub grub
The Neighbor Lady is a local brothel-themed pub in the Central area with a menu that offers options for vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free devotees and meat lovers. Stephan Mollmann, owner of the nearby Twilight Exit bar, and Shira Bray, a Twilight bartender and manager, opened The Neighbor Lady last spring in the space where Thompson's Point of View used to be.

Share your own dining dealsDo you know of a fantastic dining deal in the Seattle area?
A restaurant or eatery where your can get quality food and decent portions for under $25 per person (including tax and tip)? Or is there a place you haven't tried yet and want to know more about? Tell us! We'll consider your choices for upcoming reviews.
For those on the hunt for a local brothel-themed bar, The Neighbor Lady has a booth for you. Tasseled lamps — including one shaped like a woman's leg — illuminate the Central District pub's dark interior and wraparound bar, while a collection of vintage arcade games gleams from its own enticing nook.
Stephan Mollmann, owner of the nearby Twilight Exit bar, and Shira Bray, a Twilight bartender and manager, opened The Neighbor Lady last spring in the space where Thompson's Point of View used to be. The more health-centric of the two pubs, The Neighbor Lady offers plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Omnivores needn't fear, however, that they'd be without meat for an evening. The menu has plenty of beefier items, including sliders, corned-beef sandwiches and meatballs.
A quick tip: You'll have to order at the bar as there's no table-waiting service.
The menu: Nearly every item has an asterisk (or rather, a high-heeled shoe icon) denoting vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free options. Shoestring fries or sweet-potato fries come alone ($5) or as a side to a Reuben ($10 with corned beef, $10.50 with Smoked Tomato Field Roast) or a BLT ($8.50 with bacon, $9 with tempeh bacon). Greener items on the menu include a spinach salad with a maple-cayenne mustard dressing ($8), a Caesar salad (small $5.25, large $8) and the rocket salad, made of spicy arugula, goat cheese and pine nuts in a roasted red pepper dressing ($8).
What to write home about: The trio of house-ground beef sliders slathered with truffle aioli and served on petite potato rolls ($9) disappeared from the table in a hurry. For a vegetarian option, the Reuben with Smoked Tomato Field Roast, sauerkraut and rémoulade ($10.50) was delightfully flavorful.
What to skip: The house-made lentil walnut loaf ($11) was a bit flat in taste, but did a remarkable job replicating the texture of meatloaf for nostalgic vegetarians.
The setting: Mismatched lights, patterned wallpaper and the dim glow of the pinball corner.
Summing up: The rocket salad ($8), beef sliders with sweet-potato fries ($9), veggie meatloaf ($11) and the special of the day, a house-smoked pork sandwich called "The Havana" ($10), came to $38 before tax and tip, and were plenty for two with leftovers.

January 2013 – January 2014
KC Ice Bowl 2013
Ice Bowl follows these rules: No Postponements, No Cancellations, No Wimps, No Whiners!
Every January and February, in cities and towns across North America and a few in Europe, Ice Bowls are held to raise money for charities, most of which help fight hunger. The 232 Ice Bowl events in 2012 raised over $300,000. Since 1996, over $2 million have been raised via Ice Bowl® disc golf tournaments.
Last year's Kansas City Ice Bowl raised a total of $8,000, which was split equally between Harvesters and Bishop Sullivan Center. This year's goal is $10,000.
The 26th Annual KC Ice Bowl is produced by the Kansas City Flying Disc Club, and will once again feature casual competition, lunch, and fun.
Volunteers and Donations
Volunteers are needed to help the weekend of the event. If you are interested in helping out- even if it's just a few hours, please contact Ben Crosby. Phone: 785-393-1555 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
We encourage the KC disc golf community to download and print the Pledge Sheet and ask your friends and family to help out by pledging money for each hole you play at Ice Bowl.
We also depend on donated prizes for the CTP Contest, such as new discs, clothing, gift certificates, or most anything that people might like to win. Bring donations to the Ice Bowl, to Disc Golf World, or to Ben Crosby.Pledge Sheet
The standard $16 entry includes a hot stamped commemorative DX disc, nested mini set, lunch on Sunday, and at least $8 to our charities. You may choose another disc for your entry disc by paying the upgrade charge listed on the registration form.
Registration available at Disc Golf World
The best way to sign up is to visit Disc Golf World because you can pick up your player's package disc and mini set, as well as purchasing clothing, other plastic, CTP tickets, and mulligans. All purchases enhance our charitable donations.
If you can't make it to DGW, you can call 816.471.3472 and register with a bank card. Or you can fill in your registration form and mail it, along with a check to 509 E 18th St, KCMO 64108. Or you could fill at an entry and then scan it with payment information to email@example.com. Or you can fax your entry to 816.471.4653. In these cases, you will pick up your schwag at the Ice Bowl, unless you want to stop by to pick it up earlier.
Registration Form
Can't Play This Year? Why Not Make a Donation?
CTP Tickets and Mulligans
A KC Ice Bowl tradition is the ongoing CTP (closest-to-the-pin) contest. Last year's top prize was a target. A person may only win one prize with the winner choosing first from the prize table. There might be a raffle this year as well. If this happens, your ticket can be used for either activities. Another tradition is the use of mulligans during the first round. All the money from these activities go directly to our charities.
When Are You Playing?
There is competition at the Ice Bowl, and even though it's not to be taken too seriously, we still want as many people as possible to play at least one round of golf on Saturday or Sunday morning. For those who want the chance to win something, the nine-hole "money" round is played Sunday afternoon. Players are ranked by their scores from the first round, which means you'll be very closely matched with the others on your card. You'll be told which nine holes you'll play. The player on each card with the best total score wins a DX disc. The person with the very best score is the Ice Bowl Champion and gets to keep the traveling trophy for one year.
Potluck Lunch and Chili Contest
One of the best traditions of the KC Ice Bowl is bringing food to share, especially chili, which automatically gets entered into the Chili Contest, which awards a grand prize. Is your chili the best?! Bring out a crock or 2 and let's find out. Contact Rhonda Crosby at 785-424-3672 for more information on the chili contest.
The 27th Annual Kansas City Ice Bowl
The Kansas City Ice Bowl is held every year in January at Rosedale Park. Its purposes are raising funds to fight hunger, having fun, and connecting our disc golf community in a positive way to the community at large. Our goals this year are to have 500 participants and to raise $10000 for our traditional charities: the Bishop Sullivan Center's St James Food Pantry and Harvesters: the Community Food Network.
While the emphasis of the KC Ice Bowl is on charity and fun, we want as many disc golfers to play at least one, and hopefully, both rounds. This is how it works. You need to post an 18-hole score on either of Rosedale Park's courses to qualify to play the nine-hole final round.
Saturday, 9 am: Shotgun start: Rosedale Top Course.
Saturday, 1 pm: Shotgun start: Rosedale Top Course
Saturday, 8am – 3pm: Flex start: Down Under
Sunday, 8am – 10 am: Flex start: Top or Down Under
You need to turn your first-round scorecard in no later than 12:30 pm on Saturday.
Unlimited mulligans are for sale to be used during the first round only. Their use is highly encouraged as all mulligan proceeds go to our charities. In fact, we challenge you to buy an Ice Bowl Championship!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)

Match report
Scroll above left to Photostream for match photos; click on the statistics tab for match stats: manager reaction below.
Gareth Bale scored a superb late goal to help Tottenham Hotspur claim a narrow 1-0 victory over Southampton at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
Southampton were arguably the better side but the Welshman struck to become the first Spurs player to score 20 Barclays Premier League goals in a season since Jurgen Klinsmann in the 1994-95 campaign.
Andre Villas-Boas had a number of first-team players missing for the game but welcomed Kyle Walker and Aaron Lennon back into his starting line-up. Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino was without left-back Danny Fox and Gaston Ramirez, who both started three-match bans after being sent off against West Brom last Saturday.
There was a 30-minute delay to kick-off at White Hart Lane due to traffic problems in the surrounding area. The visitors started brightly and Nathaniel Clyne could have put them ahead in the 10th minute of play, following a superb ball from Rickie Lambert. However, the full-back put his half-volley wide with only Hugo Lloris to beat from inside the box.
Spurs captain Michael Dawson had to make a last-gasp interception to prevent Clyne's low cross from reaching Adam Lallana in front of goal. Lallana was then flagged offside as he attempted to collect a precise pass from Lambert.
Southampton continued to threaten throughout the first half, with Lambert at the heart of every attack. The 31-year-old striker was extremely unfortunate to see his fierce free-kick tipped on to the post by Lloris, as it looked destined to give Southampton the lead in the 35th minute. Jermain Defoe was penalised for a push on Jose Fonte before Spurs squandered a string of set-pieces, which summed up a very frustrating first half for the hosts.
Southampton continued to control proceedings following the restart and Lallana threatened from close range after a brilliant flick over Dawson's head. Lambert whipped a dangerous free-kick into the Spurs box and a goalbound effort from Lallana was blocked by Benoit Assou-Ekotto as the away side piled on the pressure.
Emmanuel Adebayor replaced Lennon with 30 minutes remaining and immediately set up Spurs' first real opportunity of the game. The former Arsenal striker back-heeled a lofted Tom Huddlestone pass into the path of Clint Dempsey, but the American blazed his effort high over the bar.
Southampton goalkeeper Artur Boruc caused a scramble inside the six-yard box after he failed to claim a corner, but Clyne cleared the danger.
Bale then struck a wonderful thumping effort into the bottom corner of Boruc's net with four minutes left to claim a late victory. The win keeps pressure on rivals Arsenal and Chelsea in the race for UEFA Champions League football.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas: "It was decided by a great moment of individual brilliance. We kept on pushing and Gareth played in three different positions today - as striker, then on the left and on the right to try and get the best out of him.
"He is enjoying his football, but Southampton dealt with him very, very well and were very organised.
"But in the last gasp, they conceded a little bit more space, probably because we wore them out a little bit in the second half and we managed to get the winner.
[On Champions League qualification] "We are going to give it a try. If we win our games, we are there, so we have to push to get this result and hopefully we can achieve that."
Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino: "I do feel we deserved a lot more, we should have got at least a draw, a win would have been well deserved but we go home with nothing. I am disappointed about the result.
"We have competed very well and played very well, we have controlled the game for large periods and I am happy with the performance of my team but we are really angry because we have not got anything from this game."

10 Chilling Best Post Apocalyptic Books
Post-apocalyptic novels usually ask two questions: how does a civilization fall, and what happens afterward? The following novels provide unsettling answers to one or both of these questions.
1. The Stand
by Stephen King (Buy from Amazon)
This 1000+ page novel follows the survivors of a worldwide pandemic as they struggle to survive and find meaning. Quasi-religious overtones, a diverse cast of characters, and grim, gory details make this an unforgettable – and terrifying – vision of a world decimated by disease.
2. The Road
by Cormac McCarthy (Buy from Amazon)
A father and son travel though a gray land laid waste and depopulated by an unnamed disaster. Brutality and cannibalism are contrasted with love and the tiniest glimmer of hope for what remains of humanity.
3. Lucifer's Hammer
by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle (Buy from Amazon)
As the Hamner-Brown comet approaches Earth, few believe it will actually strike. When it does, Los Angeles, along with most coastal and river cities, is destroyed. This book follows several characters who survive the disaster and fight a battle that will determine the course of mankind's future.
4. Blindness
by José Saramago (Buy from Amazon)
A different kind of apocalypse befalls a city when almost all of its inhabits are afflicted with blindness. Led by the one person who can still see, a group struggles to survive in a collapsed and chaotic city.
5. I Am Legend
by Richard Matheson (Buy from Amazon)
One of the creepier novels on this list, I Am Legend is the story of a man who fights to maintain a semblance of normalcy when the rest of humanity has turned to vampires.
See Also: 10 Greatest Adult Dystopian Novels of All-Time
6. One Second After
by Wiliam R. Forstchen (Buy from Amazon)
After an electromagnetic pulse knocks out most modern technology in North America, the residents of Boone, North Carolina try to rebuild as best they can with what they have. Heartbreaking and terrifying, this plausible scenario depicts the fragility of our modern infrastructure.
7. On the Beach
by Nevil Shute (Buy from Amazon)
In one of the classics of the post-apocalyptic genre, nuclear fallout approaches Australia, bringing with it imminent death. On the Beach focuses on the ways different characters face the inevitable demise.
8. The Postman
by David Brin (Buy from Amazon)
After society collapses due to EMPs and bioweapons, a man discovers a postal worker's uniform. He initially poses as an employee of the Restored United States in order to get food and shelter, but when he sees the hope he brings to other survivors, he realizes he might have a larger role to play.
9. Oryx and Crake
by Margaret Atwood (Buy from Amazon)
File this one under "mad scientist destroys the world." This novel follows two friends as they take wildly divergent paths in a world already falling apart. Interwoven through the first-person narrative and flashbacks is a love triangle that ends with terrible consequences.
10. The Gunslinger
by Stephen King (Buy from Amazon)
A gunslinger named Roland pursues the Man in Black across the desert in a world that has "moved on." This world is unsettlingly similar to our own, with references to ancient water pumps, abandoned railroads, and the Beatles tune Hey Jude. The Gunslinger is the first novel in the epic (and engrossing) Dark Tower series.
Those are the 10 Chilling Best Post Apocalyptic Books.

Tree of Life Art
Below are some pictures of this artwork. I am going to start posting more "Tree of Life" art here in the future and would love to get examples from people out there too.

I really like the UC Davis Arboretum. I had a walk around it last week when I was visiting Davis. Seeing all the greenery was wonderful, as everything is still pretty dead/brown in Chicago. We've just had a our first few days of spring this weekend.ReplyDelete
I'd spotted the tree of life on my walk. The beige toilet doors are a bit weird, but otherwise it's a lot of fun.
I did not want to say anything about it being an outhouse. Could give too many ideas to the intelligent design crowd.ReplyDelete
- Graham Coop4/06/2008 8:51 PM
Actually, I thought the men and womens doors on either side of the tree of life/knowledge was bit 'adam and eve'-ish ;).ReplyDelete

KG and Avery Bradley: A love story
The best love stories ever written always seem to start with conflict. Guy meets girl, guy makes bad impression on girl, guy has to win girl back, guy successfully wins girl back, girl and guy help each other win championships, etc. At least, I'm assuming that's how these things go. It's not like I read a Nicholas Sparks novel when I was a freshman in college because my girlfriend made me and then she broke up with me a week later or anything. Jeez, guys.
Anyway, it can happen this way between bros, too. This gem of an article from WEEI's Ben Rohrbach was absolutely stuffed with interesting notes from the evolution of Kevin Garnett and Avery Bradley's relationship.
It started with a bad impression, one that I, personally, find completely understandable: Avery Bradley was terrified of Kevin Garnett.
Two years ago, as a rookie, Avery Bradley actually tried to hide in practice.
"I didn't want to get in, because I was so scared of KG yelling at me if I messed up."
KG is the guy who bashes his own head against the basket support to put himself in the right mindset before every game. Yeah, AB, I get being scared. If KG yelled at me in practice, I'd be less focused on improving my game and more focused on surviving the encounter.
Then KG moved in with an attempt to win Bradley back.
"One day, KG saw me on the bus," he said. "I had my hoodie on. I was a little down. I wasn't playing. He could tell I wasn't the same Avery, always smiling but shy, and he told me, 'You know what? I was sitting back in my room last night watching tapes of you in high school. If you continue to work how hard you work every day and never give up, the way you played in high school, you'll play in the NBA.'"
I mean, it's not the perfect line for a real relationship. If I walked up to a girl who seemed down and said "Yo, I was watching video tapes of you last night in my room from when you were in high school. You are going to be fine, believe me," I'd probably get maced. But it worked well for Bradley.
"Then, one day I'm on the bus after a game and all KG said was, 'I told you,'" added Bradley. "At first I had no clue what he was talking about. He always sits in the back of the bus and tells his stories, and he's like, 'I told you that. If you continue to work … hard work always pays off.' Coming from KG, that made me feel good and made me want to keep working, so I can be like him."
D'awwwww. There it is. Bradley wants to be like Garnett.
Finally, the kicker: the happily ever after.
"It's so fun," he said. "You finally feel like you're an NBA player. It's just fun going out there feeling like you're a part of everything."
Go check out the full link for a bunch of interesting insights between these two players. It makes for a fascinating story, and quite frankly, I'm always a sucker for happily ever afters. Let's hope these bros stick.

System Sleuthing - Using ptrace to Print Backtraces
strace is one of my all time favorite command line utilities; not a day goes
by when I don't reach for it for something. It's an extremely versatile tool;
you can use it to inspect what a program's doing, how a program is doing something,
or get an idea of the kinds of things a program is doing to explain why it's running as slowly as it
is. I could go on and on about strace, but fortunately I don't have to; Julia Evans has written a
number of lovely posts about it if you'd like to learn more.

Favorite Vim Options: directory
I was thinking about Vim configuration recently, and I wanted to point out one of my favorite Vim options. Have you ever
been working in a Git repository and run a
git status, only to encounter a series of swap files in the output? How about having
an automated deploy refuse to run because it found an unstaged file in the working directory (you guessed it; a Vim swap file)?
In a response to this annoyance, I've had colleagues recommend disabling Vim's swap file feature entirely! I'd like to propose an
alternative: my friend, the
directory option.

Perl 5 Internals - Part Four
The first three installments of this series covered Perl's core data types: scalars, arrays, and hashes. This final installment will cover something a bit different: the optree. Those of you who are familiar with compiler concepts are no doubt familiar with the notion of an abstract syntax tree (known as an AST for short). The optree is perl's take on the AST: it's something similar to, but not entirely the same as, an AST. Before we begin looking at the optree, I recommend reviewing the "Subroutines" and "Compiled code" sections of perlguts, as well as looking at perlcall. It is by no means required, but it might make digesting this content a little easier.Read More…

This book is short yet powerful. Important lessons for
life are given that many readers may be familiar with.
They are popular Judeo-Christian morals that most learn in
kindergarden (treat others kindly, don't be selfish,
giving is better than receiving, etc). Churches are
mentioned briefly, yet there is no overt religious theme.
What I like about this book is that there are Christian
undertones, but the author does not shove Christianity
down people's throats. Hopefully, readers will begin to
think about others instead of themselves and then have the
inspiration to seek God as they see Christians living out
the morals in this book. Also included with the book are
two of "Elijah's coins" for the reader.
