Thursday county wrap: EH girls beat Tri; G-C/NP split swim meet
January 25, 2013Hancock County Sports
Girls basketball
Eastern Hancock 51, Tri 44: Eastern Hancock's girls basketball team improved to 14-4 on the year with a victory over Tri.
Kiersten Schrope nearly hit a triple-double, as she had 12 points, 10 rebounds and nine steals. She also had six assists. Hannah Best had 10 points for the Royals. Lauren Harmon scored eight. Kristen Eischen had seven points and seven boards.
EH led 13-7 after a quarter, but Tri roared back in the second to take a 29-27 lead at the half, and maintain it at 38-37 after three. The Royals outscored Tri 14-6 in the final stanza.
The Royals will play their home finale Saturday against Hauser with a 3:30 p.m. varsity tipoff. EH will conclude regular-season play on Jan. 31 at Centerville.
Cougars, Dragons split: Greenfield-Central and New Palestine split a dual meet on Thursday, with G-C's boys winning 127-59 and the NP girls winning a close 92-88 race.
In the boys event, the Cougars swam an entirely underclassman team. G-C winners were Drew Logan in the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle, Kody Garcia in the 200 IM, Nathan Graber in diving, Spencer Young in the 100 butterfly, Jacob Keener in the 100 backstroke, the 200 medley relay of Keener, Jordan Cermak, Young and Graber, the 200 free relay of Cermak, Brenden Gill, Graber and Logan, and the 400 free relay of Logan, Gill, Blake Carlton and Keener.
"The seniors took a bold step in trust as they challenged the rest of the team to step up and swim without them tonight," G-C coach Mark Logan said. "It was a strong statement to give them the confidence to continue the legacy of success."
NP winners were Grant Gish in the 100 freestyle and Chris Dodd in the 100 breaststroke. On Senior Night, the Dragons' seniors were allowed to choose their own events and the relay teams. Individual seconds for the NP boys went to Gish in the 200 freestyle and Luke Steigerwalt in the 100 butterfly.
In the girls event, NP got wins from Hannah Ayer in diving, Erin Trimpe in the 100 butterfly, Emily Trimpe in the 100 freestyle, Claire Hornsby in the 100 breaststroke and the 200 medley relay team of Megan Prosser, Emily Trimpe, Lily Horn and Katie Mustard. Seconds went to Emily Trimpe in the 200 freestyle, Addison Virt in the 200 IM, Megan Prosser in the 50 freestyle, Shannon Jones in diving, Rachel Wineman in the 100 freestyle and Katie Mustard in the 500 freestyle.
G-C's Carly Fernandes broke both the 200 and 500 freestyle school records, winning both events. She swam the 200 in 1:57.80 and the 500 in 5:15.41. Other winners for G-C were Taylor Johnson in the 200 IM and 100 backstroke, Holly Curry in the 50 freestyle the 200 free relay of Johnson, Curry, Taylor Cermak and Fernandes, and the 400 free relay of Johnson, Cermak, Taylor Young and Fernandes.

Addison Virt (200 MR), Kara Mustard (200 MR), Katie Mustard (500 free), Prosser (500 free), Claire Hornsby (200 free relay) set season bests.
Also for the Dragons, Wes Virt (200 MR), Matthew Taylor-Smith (200 MR, 500 free), Todd Horn (200 IM), Cord Baird (200 free relay), Jake Mitchell (100 back), Parker Horn (400 FR) and Luke Reed (400 FR) set lifetime bests.
Dragons improve to 6-0: New Palestine's gymnastics team stayed perfect with a three-way win over Roncalli and Tindley. The Dragons scored 100.575 points, to Roncalli's 97.45 and Tindley's 35.35.
NP's Kenzi Hoffman was the all-around winner (34.025). She won on vault (8.75) and balance beam (8.65). She was fourth on bars and floor.
Shelly Huesman was fourth in all-around. She was fifth on vault, third on uneven bars and fifth on floor. Ciarra Hough was seventh in all-around. She was ninth on vault and eighth on floor.
Kaytlin Fee was the Dragons' other winner, scoring an 8.95 on floor. She was second on bars and third on beam.
Other top-six finishers for NP were Annabelle Dockins (2nd, vault) and Kyle Zehner (5th, beam).
The Dragons next compete Tuesday at home against Noblesville.

Happy Wednesday everybody!
Yep, it's Wednesday again, which means it's time for the lovely Jenn's virtual WIAW party where the guests post and share their eats. If you haven't visited before, you must check out all the amazing pics!
Okay, so here's what I ate this Wednesday:
Glass of warm water and a slice of lemon (this week I've really been enjoying this gentle start to the day, rather than the big cups of black coffee I had last week. It's reassuring to know that I'm no longer dependent on coffee to kickstart my day )
Big bowl of porridge into which I added some blueberry fruit spread, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans and sunflower seeds. It was lush! With the porridge, I drank a cup of nettle tea.
I had to make a quick lunch before I dashed to school to teach my meditation classes, so I grabbed some Scottish oat cakes, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, black olives and cashew nut butter. I bought a jar of Meridian cashew nut butter for the first time last week, and I'm LOVING it! I'll definitely be buying it again
After school, I enjoyed a 5-minute sitdown with a cup of coffee and a piece of date and zucchini chocolate brownie (which I made last week). It was a bit of an experiment but it worked out really well (unlike a lot of my experiments )
I've never been a big fan of brownies, but I absolutely love this one. The taste and texture is lush! Plus, by using no refined sugar, very little oil, and with the addition of dates, zucchini and whole wheat flour, it's actually a healthy brownie! What more could we want eh?? Lil' L has been taking it to school for his lunchtime snack. I've just asked him what he thinks of the brownie and he said "really, really, really nice"
I'm really into hemp seed at the moment, and have been using the Good Hemp milk, oil and shelled seeds as a way of adding omega-3 into our meals. From what I've read, hemp is a 'super food' as it's packed with nutrition. Here's a few facts I found out about hemp today:
- It is a complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids. It also has a high protein content (see image below).
- The globulin edestin in hemp seed closely resembles that found in human blood plasma and is completely compatible with the human digestive system, making it easily digested, absorbed and utilised.
- Hemp seed contains phytosterols, which have been shown to reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol.
- Hemp seed has a high content of antioxidants (all part of the Vitamin E family).
- Hemp seed has the perfect ratio of omega-3 to omega-6.
What an amazing amount of goodness packed into a little seed!
I've been using the Good Hemp shelled hemp seed a lot lately, sprinkling it into breakfasts and on dinners. For those interested, here's the nutritional blurb found on the back of the pot:
Good Hemp also makes a hemp protein powder, which M has been trialling whilst mountain bike training. I don't think that I do enough exercise to warrant using protein powders, so I'll leave it to him to review that one
So, with my new love of all things hemp, on Monday I decided to create some hemp seed burgers. I had very little time on Monday evening as we were going out trick 'n' treating, but as per usual with me, when I get the creative urge, I have to pursue it So, within 20 minutes I'd made the burgers, cooked them, served them, and we were out the door! I made 8 burgers in total, so we had them for dinner tonight too.
Lil' L's verdict on the hemp burger… deeeeelicious!!! Yay another winner! The burgers had a great texture and I thought they tasted a bit like the sausage meat that you find in veggie sausage rolls. To make the burgers, I used tofu, hemp seeds, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, tomato puree, ground oats and a little stuffing mix. (If anyone's interested, I can post the recipe). As accompaniments, we had sunflower and sesame seed rolls, roasted butternut squash, red pepper and crispy kale. Delish!
For dessert tonight, I had some stewed apples with natural yoghurt, cinnamon and pecans, while Lil' L finished up the banana cinnamon icecream that we made a couple of weeks ago. It had gone before I had time to take a photograph, so here's the pic from last time we had it.
So, that's me done! Time to head over to Jenn's now and check out the lush foodie photos
Happy WIAW everyone!

Oh yum! It appears that your porridge is our oatmeal (I think porridge sounds way better). I very much want your recipes for the brownie, the frosting from the vegan chocolate cake, and the hemp burger. If it is too much to post could you e-mail it? email@example.com
http://bitofthegoodstuff.wordpress.com Sharon
Ah at least I know now, thanks Rachel! Here in the UK, we tend to use the term 'oatmeal' to describe ground oat groats (which we use to make Scottish oat cakes and Staffordshire oat cakes) whereas we use rolled oats to make porridge (or what you call 'oatmeal' in the USA). Very confusing! I'll have to be careful how I label things in future to avoid confusion.
I'll definitely write up the recipes by the end of the week and post or email them to you. I need to do this anyhow before I forget how I made them! I really must start writing down the ingredients and quantities as I go, rather than my usual haphazard method of throwing it all together, thinking that i'll write it up later… then more often than not forgetting!

That is so funny! I can't even begin to imagine how your husband knows what hessian bags taste like lol!
It's amazing how much our taste buds vary. Fortunately, my hubbie has very similar tastes to me and he actually likes hemp milk. No mention of hessian-tasting milk round here

Islamic critics blast Beyonce on eve of Egypt show
CAIRO (AP) — As Egypt gears for pop diva Beyonce Knowles' first performance in North Africa, Islamic conservatives are branding her show an "insolent sex party" that threatens the Muslim nation's "social peace and stability." On giant posters plastered across the Egyptian capital advertising the Friday evening concert, Beyonce sports a revealing, flame-covered outfit and grips a set of motorcycle handlebars extending from her hips – a sharp contrast to Cairo streets, where most women wear the traditional Muslim headscarves. TV ads promoting the show, part of Beyonce's "I Am …" world tour, have run on Egyptian and Arab satellite stations. The tour, which also took Beyonce to the United Arab Emirates last week, had grossed $53.5 million as of October, according to Billboard magazine

Zarathustra is the final boss and namesake of Xenosaga Episode III. Powered by the Original Zohar and the power of the awakened twelve Vessels of Anima (the combined power of half of the Anima, Yeshua, which was sealed by the Animus, Mary Magdalene, during the Lost Jerusalem era to delay the universe's destruction), it is found deep within the planet Michtam. In fact, it was created by the ancients of Lost Jerusalem and moved by the Immigrant Fleet to Michtam.
According to the Episode III database, Zarathustra itself is a series of crystalline structures; its control panel resembles the Compass of Order and Chaos on a gigantic scale. Zarathustra was originally built by the ancients as a means to transcend to the realm of God and become gods themselves.
Wilhelm, however, uses Zarathustra as the central device in which to constantly repeat an "eternal circle" of time, Eternal Recurrence. This reverses the dispersal of consciousness by literally reversing time back to the beginning and temporarily channeling the consciousnesses through imaginary time. Because of this, people relive the same lifetimes and history repeatedly. Wilhelm uses his "temporal recurrence ability" with the Vessels of Anima, Abel, the Zohar, Mary Magdelene (reborn within KOS-MOS) and the "Key" (Shion's pendant) as the components to start Zarathustra and complete this process.
However, after numerous recurrences (the database does not clarify how many), the human will began to reject the constant process due to the distortions made each time Zarathustra reset time. With the intervention of Kevin Winnicot, Wilhelm's link to the Zarathustra device and Abel was severed, and they went out of control. Zarathustra, piloted by an out-of-control Abel, merged with Joshua (Wilhelm's mecha) and began tearing and attaching parts from all twelve discarded E.S.s to itself. The large, golden "compass" that held the Original Zohar, the rings of Order and Chaos attached to the frame of the "fused" Joshua as well. This monstrosity was defeated by the party in a long and difficult battle. Following its defeat, Abel returned to normal and decided to give humanity a chance to live on.

Economy drives diners to their grocery stores
People are eating out less, buying more prepared food
With recession-squeezed consumers eating out less, grocery stores are seeing a sales boost from an expanding menu of prepared meals.
For years, traditional grocery stores have lost ground to restaurants and takeout, as busy people looked for a quick-fix dinner or lunch option.
Now those people want bargains as much as convenience. As they seek to stretch their food dollars, they are finding that many supermarkets have been improving their ready-to-go offerings.
The result is that some stores have seen 7 percent to 10 percent growth in sales of prepared items, said Wade Hanson of Technomic, a Chicago-based food and restaurant industry consulting firm.
"This is something that is becoming a viable alternative to restaurants in the eyes of most consumers," Hanson said.
In March, Albertsons launched "Simply Good Meals," an initiative that groups together prepared foods so shoppers can easily assemble a meal. The areas where these items are found are dubbed "4:15" sections.
"That is the time of the day when most moms are thinking, 'What's for dinner?' " said Albertsons spokeswoman Lilia Rodriguez.
Ralphs has also increased its offerings in the prepared-foods category and has a variety of sandwiches and meals, spokeswoman Kendra Doyle said.
Stater Bros., the largest privately owned supermarket in Southern California, recently expanded its grab-and-go meal selections to include a rotisserie turkey breast and two kinds of meatloaf.
"We're saying, 'We're cooking so you don't have to,' " said Mickey Gold, Stater Bros. vice president of delis and bakeries. "Sales have been good."
The grocery stores' efforts come as restaurants feel the sting of the recession. The National Restaurant Association forecasts that inflation-adjusted industry sales will be down 1 percent in 2009.
That is a change from recent years, as both restaurants and discount retailers had been taking business from traditional grocery stores.
According to industry research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, market share for food eaten away from home has been consistently gaining. In 2008, dollars spent on food away from home accounted for 48.5 percent of total food expenditures.
"What we've seen over the last five years is a steady reduction in the number of trips per year to supermarkets," said Bill Bishop, chairman of Willard Bishop LLC, a Chicago-based market research firm.
Supermarkets have also felt the economic downturn. Some stores have introduced large-scale price cuts to draw customers. In the past few months, Stater Bros. and Albertsons have lowered prices by about 20 percent on thousands of items. Vons reduced its prices in late 2008.
First-quarter earnings reports from grocery chains reflect the increasing frugality of consumers. Safeway, which owns Vons, reported a 7.6 percent decline in total sales compared with the first quarter of 2008. Supervalu, which owns Albertsons, lowered its expectations for first-quarter earnings.
Kroger, owner of Ralphs, posted gains. The retailer's first-quarter identical-supermarket sales increased 3.9 percent.
An increase in prepared-food options is one way the chains have responded to economic pressures.
Bishop said that by expanding in-store services, grocery stores can compete more effectively against rivals such as Wal-Mart.

There seems little possibility that Valle de Atrisco will rise from the ashes of January's catastrophic election day. Residents of the unincorporated portion of Bernalillo County known as the South Valley were given the opportunity to vote on whether their largely rural community should form a new town known as Valle de Atrisco. The proposal was soundly defeated by 93 percent.
No matter how they voted, many in the South Valley would like the area to retain its semi-rural character and unique cultural identity, and there is every reason to fear that they will not be able to do so in the near future. Albuquerque continues to grow into the 21st century, and the need for housing—and cheap, undeveloped land on which to build—will grow with it. As the endless subdivision tracts of the Westside and Rio Rancho show, there is already a seemingly insatiable hunger for land to fill up with street after street of cookie-cutter houses and acres upon acres of Wal-Marts, Applebee's and assorted genericana. The South Valley, with its swathes of inexpensive agricultural land along the Bosque, inarguably presents a mouthwatering opportunity for developers. Look no further than the subdivision that recently sprouted along Second Street at Rio Bravo, or the Wal-Mart at Rio Bravo and Coors, to realize the whittling away has already begun.
Here's a bit of trivia you may not have known: Until 1949, Old Town wasn't a part of the city of Albuquerque.
This, of course, flies in the face of what many Albuquerque residents "know." An explanation is in order. La Villa de San Francisco Xavier (later San Felipe de Neri) de Alburquerque was founded in 1706 as a colony of the Spanish crown in the area known today as Old Town. For 243 years, it remained an independent community. In 1881, 35 years after New Mexico became a territory of the United States, the AT&SF Railroad Company made the decision to build a depot two miles to the east of Villa de Alburquerque. Immediately upon the depot's completion, a new and entirely separate town began rising up around it. Despite being located well outside the original Villa, this town was named, confusingly, New Albuquerque; the loss of the first "r" a side effect of Anglo-American tongues fumbling over the original Spanish pronunciation.
For 60 years, two towns called "Alburquerque," or something like it, coexisted in the Middle Rio Grande Valley. One was "New"—therefore the other became known as Old Alburquerque or, simply, Old Town.
Residents who think things in the South Valley will remain as they are need look no further than Old Town—a community that was unable to successfully retain its identity in the face of an Albuquerque population boom.
So, then: What was Old Town like between the 1880s and 1949, the year that the two Albuquerques merged into one? It was a predominantly Hispanic community, with strong cultural and family ties. It was semi-rural, with many families owning livestock and farming inherited plots of land along the local acequia. Family, religion and work dominated day-to-day life, with festivals and church services meeting both spiritual and social needs. In other words, it was much the same as it had been in the century leading up to the founding of New Albuquerque, but with one important difference: Its population—which had steadily grown from the time of the American annexation of New Mexico until New Albuquerque was founded in the late 1800s—was now declining in fits and starts as economic opportunities shifted to center around the railroad.
The early part of the century rolled out several dramatic ups and downs for the village. In the 1920s, during the "noble experiment" of Prohibition, the plaza area experienced a (somewhat unsavory) economic resurgence. The community's more tolerant attitudes toward alcohol and gambling made it a natural getaway for New Albuquerqueans looking to escape that city's stricter enforcement of federal law. However, the Great Depression followed soon after, and the area was hit hard by the skyrocketing price of grain and poultry as the speakeasies closed after the repeal of the 18th Amendment.
It's not too difficult to find the story of Old Town to this point. Of course, the noisier goings-on in New Albuquerque tend to overshadow the quieter history of Old Town, but it's there. The story of the community's annexation itself, however, is difficult to find. It would be easy to assume, based on most accounts, that it had been a fairly straightforward affair: As New Albuquerque grew westward, Old Town found itself surrounded by the city and the inevitable absorption took place.
According to Andrés, the postwar success of Santa Fe's transformation into a tourist mecca caused merchants in New Albuquerque to lust after a similar draw that would attract America's motoring sightseers. Old Town, with its beautifully preserved plaza and undeniable historic significance, could easily form a picturesque anchor for the city's envisioned tourist trade. Not only that, but the 1950 census loomed, and city commissioners hoped the area's annexation would help inflate the city's overall population, showcasing it as a booming town of the New West and hopefully attracting more industry.
The Journal used its pulpit to argue that annexation of the Old Town plaza was a matter of hygienic necessity. "If the outside areas will not recognize this menace," a July 6, 1948 Journal editorial argued, "then the city of Albuquerque must recognize it and act accordingly."
Meanwhile, the Albuquerque Journal came out firmly on the side of the pro-annexation faction. Shifting the debate from economics and growth to sanitation and the fear of disease, the Journal used its pulpit to argue that annexation of the Old Town plaza was a matter of hygienic necessity. Pointing to Old Town's lack of sewage facilities, a July 6, 1948 Journal editorial argued, "Always there is the danger that polio and other epidemics will originate from improper sanitary methods. If the outside areas will not recognize this menace, then the city of Albuquerque must recognize it and act accordingly." Furthermore, the editorial went on, the city should use "whatever means is available to force annexation," no matter the wishes of the residents.
In Old Town itself, the debate became increasingly heated. While a clear majority of residents opposed it, several prominent merchants came out in support of the proposal. Among those who favored annexation, there was a genuine desire for access to city services such as the aforementioned sewage and water facilities, as well as the hope that a tourist-oriented Old Town would bring greater economic opportunities to the area. Those who opposed feared that they would face paying much higher property taxes, and that the transformation of the plaza into a historic set piece would undermine the community that they had grown up in and loved. The conflict grew bitter as the city of Albuquerque stepped up its efforts to take over the area, and violent eruptions were sometimes only narrowly avoided. In an Albuquerque Journal article from Dec. 30, 1980, Old Town resident Emma Chavira recalls that her grandmother, Mary Moya, stared down a "a group of torch wielding vigilantes" who threatened to burn her house down due to her support for annexation. Fortunately, the mob left without making good on their promise.
With the previous annexation attempt now bogged down in legal arguments, the city commission attempted to bring Old Town into the city limits under the auspices of another state law. This time, however, Old Town residents would be given a chance to be represented in the decision-making process. An annexation board would be chosen, consisting of members from the area under consideration and from the city of Albuquerque. After a slate of three anti-annexationists were overwhelmingly elected by Old Town voters, it became apparent that no consensus would be reached with the three pro-annexation members chosen by the Albuquerque city commission. District judges appointed a tiebreaker to the board, an Albuquerque attorney and historian named Gilberto Espinosa. Espinosa cast his vote in favor of the annexation, and Old Town Alburquerque was subsumed into the city that had appropriated its name so many years before.
After the takeover, the Old Towners were no longer able to play as great a role in determining the outcome of their village as before. Instead of being an important, independent community, Old Town became, according to Andrés, "just another precinct in a growing city." True, the community gained needed amenities like city sewage, but it also endured a shocking 33 percent increase in its taxes. City ordinances made it illegal to keep livestock in the area, and within a few years the Old Town acequia was filled in. As the Old Town lifestyle changed and both taxes and property values increased, more and more residents began selling their homes to buyers who hoped to capitalize on the tourist trade. By the 1970s, Old Town Plaza was characterized by the tourist-oriented galleries, souvenir shops and restaurants that we know today.
"This is a cautionary tale of how other communities are swallowed by urban behemoths. The loss of a neighborhood or community identity is dismissed in the march for profits. ... Today, Old Town is a neighborhood that lacks a strong identity. It is simply a subdivision of Albuquerque."
Benny Andrés, "La Plaza Vieja (Old Town Alburquerque): The Transformation of a Hispano Village"
John Hoffsis, owner of Treasure House Books & Gifts on Old Town Plaza, doesn't quite agree with Andrés' assessment. "It depends on your definition of what constitutes 'Old Town.' If you are confining it to just the immediate 'plaza,' then yes, I'm sure it is not the same kind of neighborhood it was in the 1940s," he says. "Its commercial focus is tourist shops, but these shops are still mostly smaller 'mom and pop' stores, as is mine. The 'anchor' and key to Old Town's identity is and always has been San Felipe de Neri Church. As long as it remains, it will always be the social focus of the area."
Damien Flores, a local slam poet born and raised in the neighborhood just west of Old Town Plaza, agrees. "There is still a sense of pride and identity in Old Town Plaza ... many of the people I've talked to still have a connection to the plaza." However, he quickly adds, "Many of those people, my grandparents included, lived in the buildings [that are now retail space], so there's still resentment towards what the plaza has become."
As for myself, I believe that Hoffsis and Flores are correct that Old Town is not "simply a subdivision of Albuquerque," but rather continues to be a community with a unique identity within the context of our greater city. However, it is also clear that in the bitter struggle over the area's annexation, and its subsequent loss of self-determination, that an intrinsic and vital aspect of the neighborhood was lost forever. The Old Town Plaza, the very heart of one of the area's oldest and most distinct communities, was wrested away from those who cherished it most. Can a wound like that ever fully heal?
The coming battle over the South Valley's identity, and it is coming, is likely to look quite different from the mostly forgotten struggle over Old Town. For one thing, the interests that will seek to carve up the Valley's abundant acreage have no pretensions toward preservationism. For another, the area's status as an unincorporated part of the county will more than likely serve to undermine the interests of its residents in the face of encroaching development, not strengthen them as in Old Town's case. Nor is the future of the Valley likely to be decided in a single legal coup, as it was for Old Town when the district judges selected a pro-annexation tie-breaking vote. Rather, the South Valley as it is today will be whittled down, piece-by-piece, sometimes through annexation by the city of Albuquerque, other times by the simple purchase of agricultural land by developers. Yet there is at least one clear lesson to be drawn from Old Town's story: A community that wishes to determine its own fate in the face of encroaching outside interests must be willing to organize itself to do so. The Old Town residents eventually lost the battle over their community, but had it not been for their passionate determination to have a voice in the proceedings, the city of Albuquerque would have taken them over with a simple majority vote of city commissioners.
The South Valley is unlikely to become a town named Valle de Atrisco, or any other name for that matter. But the need for the community to organize to have a say in its own future identity remains just as pertinent today as it did in 1949.

L. R. These are the ayats of the Book of Wisdom. 2Is it a matter of wonderment to men that We have sent Our inspiration to a man from among themselves?- that he should warn mankind (of their danger), and give the good news to the Believers that they have before their Lord the lofty rank of truth. (But) say the Unbelievers: "This is indeed an evident sorcerer!" 3Verily your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is firmly established on the throne (of authority), regulating and governing all things. No intercessor (can plead with Him) except after His leave (hath been obtained). This is Allah your Lord; Him therefore serve ye: will ye not receive admonition? 4To Him will be your return- of all of you. The promise of Allah is true and sure. It is He Who beginneth the process of creation, and repeateth it, that He may reward with justice those who believe and work righteousness; but those who reject Him will have draughts of boiling fluids, and a penalty grievous, because they did reject Him. 5It is He Who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a light (of beauty), and measured out stages for her; that ye might know the number of years and the count (of time). Nowise did Allah create this but in truth and righteousness. (Thus) doth He explain His Signs in detail, for those who understand. 6Verily, in the alternation of the night and the day, and in all that Allah hath created, in the heavens and the earth, are signs for those who fear Him. 7Those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, but are pleased and satisfied with the life of the present, and those who heed not Our Signs,- 8Their abode is the Fire, because of the (evil) they earned. 9Those who believe, and work righteousness,- their Lord will guide them because of their faith: beneath them will flow rivers in gardens of bliss. 10(This will be) their cry therein: "Glory to Thee, O Allah!" And "Peace" will be their greeting therein! and the close of their cry will be: "Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!" 11If Allah were to hasten for men the ill (they have earned) as they would fain hasten on the good,- then would their respite be settled at once. But We leave those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, in their trespasses, wandering in distraction to and fro. 12When trouble toucheth a man, He crieth unto Us (in all postures)- lying down on his side, or sitting, or standing. But when We have solved his trouble, he passeth on his way as if he had never cried to Us for a trouble that touched him! thus do the deeds of transgressors seem fair in their eyes! 13Generations before you We destroyed when they did wrong: their messengers came to them with clear-signs, but they would not believe! thus do We requite those who sin! 14Then We made you heirs in the land after them, to see how ye would behave! 15But when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed unto them, those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, Say: "Bring us a reading other than this, or change this," Say: "It is not for me, of my own accord, to change it: I follow naught but what is revealed unto me: if I were to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear the penalty of a Great Day (to come)." 16Say: "If Allah had so willed, I should not have rehearsed it to you, nor would He have made it known to you. A whole life-time before this have I tarried amongst you: will ye not then understand?" 17Who doth more wrong than such as forge a lie against Allah, or deny His Signs? But never will prosper those who sin. 18They serve, besides Allah, things that hurt them not nor profit them, and they say: "These are our intercessors with Allah." Say: "Do ye indeed inform Allah of something He knows not, in the heavens or on earth?- Glory to Him! and far is He above the partners they ascribe (to Him)!" 19Mankind was but one nation, but differed (later). Had it not been for a word that went forth before from thy Lord, their differences would have been settled between them. 20They say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "The Unseen is only for Allah (to know), then wait ye: I too will wait with you." 21When We make mankind taste of some mercy after adversity hath touched them, behold! they take to plotting against Our Signs! Say: "Swifter to plan is Allah!" Verily, Our messengers record all the plots that ye make! 22He it is Who enableth you to traverse through land and sea; so that ye even board ships;- they sail with them with a favourable wind, and they rejoice thereat; then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think they are being overwhelmed: they cry unto Allah, sincerely offering (their) duty unto Him saying, "If thou dost deliver us from this, we shall truly show our gratitude!" 23But when he delivereth them, behold! they transgress insolently through the earth in defiance of right! O mankind! your insolence is against your own souls,- an enjoyment of the life of the present: in the end, to Us is your return, and We shall show you the truth of all that ye did. 24The likeness of the life of the present is as the rain which We send down from the skies: by its mingling arises the produce of the earth- which provides food for men and animals: (It grows) till the earth is clad with its golden ornaments and is decked out (in beauty): the people to whom it belongs think they have all powers of disposal over it: There reaches it Our command by night or by day, and We make it like a harvest clean-mown, as if it had not flourished only the day before! thus do We explain the Signs in detail for those who reflect. 25But Allah doth call to the Home of Peace: He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a way that is straight. 26To those who do right is a goodly (reward)- Yea, more (than in measure)! No darkness nor shame shall cover their faces! they are companions of the garden; they will abide therein (for aye)! 27But those who have earned evil will have a reward of like evil: ignominy will cover their (faces): No defender will they have from (the wrath of) Allah: Their faces will be covered, as it were, with pieces from the depth of the darkness of night: they are companions of the Fire: they will abide therein (for aye)! 28One day shall We gather them all together. Then shall We say to those who joined gods (with Us): "To your place! ye and those ye joined as 'partners' We shall separate them, and their "Partners" shall say: "It was not us that ye worshipped! 29"Enough is Allah for a witness between us and you: we certainly knew nothing of your worship of us!" 30There will every soul prove (the fruits of) the deeds it sent before: they will be brought back to Allah their rightful Lord, and their invented falsehoods will leave them in the lurch. 31Say: "Who is it that sustains you (in life) from the sky and from the earth? or who is it that has power over hearing and sight? And who is it that brings out the living from the dead and the dead from the living? and who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?" They will soon say, "Allah". Say, "will ye not then show piety (to Him)?" 32Such is Allah, your real Cherisher and Sustainer: apart from truth, what (remains) but error? How then are ye turned away? 33Thus is the word of thy Lord proved true against those who rebel: Verily they will not believe. 34Say: "Of your 'partners', can any originate creation and repeat it?" Say: "It is Allah Who originates creation and repeats it: then how are ye deluded away (from the truth)?" 35Say: "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give any guidance towards truth?" Say: "It is Allah Who gives guidance towards truth, is then He Who gives guidance to truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided? what then is the matter with you? How judge ye?" 36But most of them follow nothing but fancy: truly fancy can be of no avail against truth. Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do. 37This Qur'an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah; on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the worlds. 38Or do they say, "He forged it"? say: "Bring then a Sura like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can besides Allah, if it be ye speak the truth!" 39Nay, they charge with falsehood that whose knowledge they cannot compass, even before the elucidation thereof hath reached them: thus did those before them make charges of falsehood: but see what was the end of those who did wrong! 40Of them there are some who believe therein, and some who do not: and thy Lord knoweth best those who are out for mischief. 41If they charge thee with falsehood, say: "My work to me, and yours to you! ye are free from responsibility for what I do, and I for what ye do!" 42Among them are some who (pretend to) listen to thee: But canst thou make the deaf to hear,- even though they are without understanding? 43And among them are some who look at thee: but canst thou guide the blind,- even though they will not see? 44Verily Allah will not deal unjustly with man in aught: It is man that wrongs his own soul. 45One day He will gather them together: (It will be) as if they had tarried but an hour of a day: they will recognise each other: assuredly those will be lost who denied the meeting with Allah and refused to receive true guidance. 46Whether We show thee (realised in thy life-time) some part of what We promise them,- or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (Before that),- in any case, to Us is their return: ultimately Allah is witness, to all that they do. 47To every people (was sent) a messenger: when their messenger comes (before them), the matter will be judged between them with justice, and they will not be wronged. 48They say: "When will this promise come to pass,- if ye speak the truth?" 49Say: "I have no power over any harm or profit to myself except as Allah willeth. To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation)." 50Say: "Do ye see,- if His punishment should come to you by night or by day,- what portion of it would the sinners wish to hasten? 51"Would ye then believe in it at last, when it actually cometh to pass? (It will then be said): 'Ah! now? and ye wanted (aforetime) to hasten it on!' 52"At length will be said to the wrong-doers: 'Taste ye the enduring punishment! ye get but the recompense of what ye earned!'" 53They seek to be informed by thee: "Is that true?" Say: "Aye! by my Lord! it is the very truth! and ye cannot frustrate it!" 54Every soul that hath sinned, if it possessed all that is on earth, would fain give it in ransom: They would declare (their) repentance when they see the penalty: but the judgment between them will be with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them. 55Is it not (the case) that to Allah belongeth whatever is in the heavens and on earth? Is it not (the case) that Allah's promise is assuredly true? Yet most of them understand not. 56It is He Who giveth life and who taketh it, and to Him shall ye all be brought back. 57O mankind! there hath come to you a direction from your Lord and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts,- and for those who believe, a guidance and a Mercy. 58Say: "In the bounty of Allah. And in His Mercy,- in that let them rejoice": that is better than the (wealth) they hoard. 59Say: "See ye what things Allah hath sent down to you for sustenance? Yet ye hold forbidden some things thereof and (some things) lawful." Say: "Hath Allah indeed permitted you, or do ye invent (things) to attribute to Allah?" 60And what think those who invent lies against Allah, of the Day of Judgment? Verily Allah is full of bounty to mankind, but most of them are ungrateful. 61In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever portion thou mayest be reciting from the Qur'an,- and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing,- We are witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from thy Lord (so much as) the weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least and not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear record. 62Behold! verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve; 63Those who believe and (constantly) guard against evil;- 64For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present and in the Hereafter; no change can there be in the words of Allah. This is indeed the supreme felicity. 65Let not their speech grieve thee: for all power and honour belong to Allah: It is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things). 66Behold! verily to Allah belong all creatures, in the heavens and on earth. What do they follow who worship as His "partners" other than Allah? They follow nothing but fancy, and they do nothing but lie. 67He it is That hath made you the night that ye may rest therein, and the day to make things visible (to you). Verily in this are signs for those who listen (to His Message). 68They say: "Allah hath begotten a son!" - Glory be to Him! He is self-sufficient! His are all things in the heavens and on earth! No warrant have ye for this! say ye about Allah what ye know not? 69Say: "Those who invent a lie against Allah will never prosper." 70A little enjoyment in this world!- and then, to Us will be their return, then shall We make them taste the severest penalty for their blasphemies. 71Relate to them the story of Noah. Behold! he said to his people: "O my people, if it be hard on your (mind) that I should stay (with you) and commemorate the signs of Allah,- yet I put my trust in Allah. Get ye then an agreement about your plan and among your partners, so your plan be on to you dark and dubious. Then pass your sentence on me, and give me no respite. 72"But if ye turn back, (consider): no reward have I asked of you: my reward is only due from Allah, and I have been commanded to be of those who submit to Allah's will (in Islam)." 73They rejected Him, but We delivered him, and those with him, in the Ark, and We made them inherit (the earth), while We overwhelmed in the flood those who rejected Our Signs. Then see what was the end of those who were warned (but heeded not)! 74Then after him We sent (many) messengers to their peoples: they brought them Clear Signs, but they would not believe what they had already rejected beforehand. Thus do We seal the hearts of the transgressors. 75Then after them sent We Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our Signs. But they were arrogant: they were a people in sin. 76When the Truth did come to them from Us, they said: "This is indeed evident sorcery!" 77Said Moses: "Say ye (this) about the truth when it hath (actually) reached you? Is sorcery (like) this? But sorcerers will not prosper." 78They said: "Hast thou come to us to turn us away from the ways we found our fathers following,- in order that thou and thy brother may have greatness in the land? But not we shall believe in you!" 79Said Pharaoh: "Bring me every sorcerer well versed." 80When the sorcerers came, Moses said to them: "Throw ye what ye (wish) to throw!" 81When they had had their throw, Moses said: "What ye have brought is sorcery: Allah will surely make it of no effect: for Allah prospereth not the work of those who make mischief. 82"And Allah by His words doth prove and establish His truth, however much the sinners may hate it!" 83But none believed in Moses except some children of his people, because of the fear of Pharaoh and his chiefs, lest they should persecute them; and certainly Pharaoh was mighty on the earth and one who transgressed all bounds. 84Moses said: "O my people! If ye do (really) believe in Allah, then in Him put your trust if ye submit (your will to His)." 85They said: "In Allah do we put out trust. Our Lord! make us not a trial for those who practise oppression; 86"And deliver us by Thy Mercy from those who reject (Thee)." 87We inspired Moses and his brother with this Message: "Provide dwellings for your people in Egypt, make your dwellings into places of worship, and establish regular prayers: and give glad tidings to those who believe!" 88Moses prayed: "Our Lord! Thou hast indeed bestowed on Pharaoh and his chiefs splendour and wealth in the life of the present, and so, Our Lord, they mislead (men) from Thy Path. Deface, our Lord, the features of their wealth, and send hardness to their hearts, so they will not believe until they see the grievous penalty." 89Allah said: "Accepted is your prayer (O Moses and Aaron)! So stand ye straight, and follow not the path of those who know not." 90We took the Children of Israel across the sea: Pharaoh and his hosts followed them in insolence and spite. At length, when overwhelmed with the flood, he said: "I believe that there is no god except Him Whom the Children of Israel believe in: I am of those who submit (to Allah in Islam)." 91(It was said to him): "Ah now!- But a little while before, wast thou in rebellion!- and thou didst mischief (and violence)! 92"This day shall We save thee in the body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! but verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!" 93We settled the Children of Israel in a beautiful dwelling-place, and provided for them sustenance of the best: it was after knowledge had been granted to them, that they fell into schisms. Verily Allah will judge between them as to the schisms amongst them, on the Day of Judgment. 94If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt. 95Nor be of those who reject the signs of Allah, or thou shalt be of those who perish. 96Those against whom the word of thy Lord hath been verified would not believe- 97Even if every Sign was brought unto them,- until they see (for themselves) the penalty grievous. 98Why was there not a single township (among those We warned), which believed,- so its faith should have profited it,- except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the penalty of ignominy in the life of the present, and permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while. 99If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe! 100No soul can believe, except by the will of Allah, and He will place doubt (or obscurity) on those who will not understand. 101Say: "Behold all that is in the heavens and on earth"; but neither Signs nor Warners profit those who believe not. 102Do they then expect (any thing) but (what happened in) the days of the men who passed away before them? Say: "Wait ye then: for I, too, will wait with you." 103In the end We deliver Our messengers and those who believe: Thus is it fitting on Our part that We should deliver those who believe! 104Say: "O ye men! If ye are in doubt as to my religion, (behold!) I worship not what ye worship, other than Allah! But I worship Allah - Who will take your souls (at death): I am commanded to be (in the ranks) of the Believers, 105"And further (thus): 'set thy face towards religion with true piety, and never in any wise be of the Unbelievers; 106"'Nor call on any, other than Allah;- Such will neither profit thee nor hurt thee: if thou dost, behold! thou shalt certainly be of those who do wrong.'" 107If Allah do touch thee with hurt, there is none can remove it but He: if He do design some benefit for thee, there is none can keep back His favour: He causeth it to reach whomsoever of His servants He pleaseth. And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 108Say: "O ye men! Now Truth hath reached you from your Lord! those who receive guidance, do so for the good of their own souls; those who stray, do so to their own loss: and I am not (set) over you to arrange your affairs." 109Follow thou the inspiration sent unto thee, and be patient and constant, till Allah do decide: for He is the best to decide.

We hand-collect data on corporate reserves and find that 40% of total reserves, or 6% of total book assets, are held in risky assets. Furthermore, 35% of total reserves are illiquid. While firms' safe reserves can be explained by a precautionary savings motive, their risky and illiquid reserves cannot – they are concentrated in large, profitable firms, with excess reserves and low cash flow volatility. We assess the optimality of this strategy and show that investors discount the value of a marginal dollar allocated to risky reserves. We conclude that this activity represents a tax-disadvantaged asset management industry of more than $1.5 trillion.

MIP Traxxas Splined CVD Kit (Summit)
I must say I am disappointed by these shafts, I've snapped 3 pins and because of this I've now lost one half shaft. This is with a completely stock summit, only after market options are traxxas centre shafts, no name brand shifting servo, new body and a spektrum reciever. How these shafts would hold up to a big brushless system I'd have have my doubts.

No. 13 Quinnipiac Bobcats 3 @ Princeton Tigers 0
F Matthew Peca, QU: 0-0-0, +2, 0 PIM, 3 SOG
Season totals: 14 GP, 4-1-5, +3, 6 PIM
The Bobcats went into Princeton and completed their weekend sweep of the Tigers. One night after limiting Princeton to 12 shots, QU held them to 18 shots on goal. Quinnipiac is running away with the ECAC at 8-0.

G Adam Wilcox, MIN: Tie, 23 saves on 27 shots
Season totals: 16 GP, 10-2-3, 1.78 GAA, .920 sv%, 2 SO
Minnesota had leads of 3-0 and 4-1, but couldn't make them stand up against a potent Colorado College offense led by Alexander Krushelnyski (undrafted), son of former NHLer Mike Krushelnyski. The younger Krushelnyski took over the third period, scoring twice and setting up the game-tying goal in the closing seconds with CC's goalie pulled. The tying goal was scored when Krushelnyski make a long pass from the half-wall to a teammate standing behind the Minnesota defense on the weak side. Wilcox lunged at the one-timed shot, but couldn't stop it. Wilcox will head into the Christmas break with 10 wins, which is outstanding – especially for a freshman. The Gophers are second in the WCHA by one point behind Denver.
No. 16 Ferris State Bulldogs 1 @ No. 7 Western Michigan Broncos 2
D Luke Witkowski, WMU: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 0 SOG

Season totals: 12 GP, 2-4-6, -1, 6 PIM
Jimmy Mullin had his first multi-point game of the year with a goal and an assist in Miami's second win in as many nights over the Nanooks. Mullin's assist came when he fed a teammate from behind the net and another teammate banged in that rebound. His goal came on a breakaway in which he went 5-hole on the Alaska-Fairbanks goaltender. Miami freshman goalie Ryan McKay had the shutout for the RedHawks. McKay is the former goaltending partner of Lightning prospect Adam Wilcox. The two were together in USHL Green Bay before the Gamblers decided to keep McKay and trade Wilcox.

Season totals: 12 GP, 4-1-5, +1, 4 PIM

G Adam Wilcox, MIN: Win, 18 saves on 20 shots
Season totals: 14 GP, 9-2-2, 1.61 GAA, .925 sv%, 2 SO
After his 6-game win streak was snapped on Friday night against UNO, Adam Wilcox got some revenge on the Mavericks with a 3-2 win on Saturday night. Wilcox made several big saves in the second period after the Gophers went up, 3-0. UNO scored late in the second and again late in the third period to make things interesting.
Northern Michigan Wildcats 0 @ No. 10 Western Michigan Broncos 1
D Luke Witkowski, WMU: 0-0-0, E, 2 PIM, 1 SOG

Building a Linux-Based High-Performance Compute Cluster
The final interactive screen of the installation sequence (Figure 12) is the disk-partitioning screen. You can partition the disks automatically or manually. If you go with the automatic partitioning scheme, the installation routine sets up the first disk it discovers as follows:
Partition Size / 16GB /var 4GB swap Equal to RAM size on the head node /export (aka /state/partition1) Rest of root disk
If you have multiple disks on the head node or you want to arrange the disk in a different fashion, select Manual Partitioning. This takes you to the standard Red Hat manual partitioning screen where you can configure things any way you desire (you still need to have a 16GB / partition and an /export partition at minimum though). Clicking Next on the disk-partitioning screen begins the automatic portion of the installation (Figures 13, 14 and 15). Once installation is complete, the head node reboots, and you are greeted with your first login screen (Figure 16).
Log on as root, and wait for two or three minutes. This lets the remaining configuration routines finish setting up the cluster in the background. Start a terminal session (Figure 17) to begin installing the compute nodes.
Now you're ready to add nodes to the cluster. The Rocks command that accomplishes this is insert-ethers. It has quite a few options, but for this example, use the main function of inserting nodes into the cluster. After you invoke insert-ethers, you are presented with the screen shown in Figure 18.
Rocks treats everything that can be connected to the network as an appliance. If it can respond to a command over the network, it's an appliance. For this simple example with a dumb switch, the only things you need to worry about are the compute nodes themselves. Because Compute is already selected, tab to the OK button and press Enter. This brings up the empty list that will be filled with the names and MAC addresses of the nodes as they are added (Figure 19).
Now it's time to boot the first compute node. If you have wiped the disk, most systems will start a PXE boot from the network as a default action. If you have a KVM switch and can watch the console on the compute node, you should see the PXE boot begin. When the compute node asks for an address for eth0, you will see the MAC address entered in the Inserted Appliances list on the head node (Figure 20).
The insert-ethers routine displays the MAC address it has received and the node name it has assigned that node. The ( ) will be filled in with an asterisk (*) when the compute node begins downloading its image (Figure 21).

More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
When the rain showed no signs of stopping, Jenni Epperson, mom of two, celebrity stylist, author and award-winning lifestyle blogger went to her kitchen and started to cook.
"I believe that charity begins at home. Initially, I cooked for the families of my household help and the staff of the building I live in."
It was a good thing her kitchen was well-stocked. "I cooked whatever was in our pantry. I'm glad Argentina Corned Beef and Century Tuna gifted me with boxes full of canned goods so I made corned beef arroz caldo, tuna fried rice, Vienna sausage omelette, steamed rice."
Realizing she had more to spare, Jenni decided to share her food with others in need. She posted on Twitter, "Who needs cooked relief food? I want to donate."
Her friends Tim Yap and Patricia Hizon responded quickly. "They organized the pickup and distribution of the food."
And Jenni kept cooking. Even her daughter Aryanna helped out, by baking pink cupcakes for kids who need to be cheered up. "My kitchen is always busy. My husband Tom and I are hands-on when it comes to nurturing our family so we cook our meals every day. Now that we started cooking relief food for the flood survivors, we're officially a satellite "soup kitchen" for those in need."
Jenni didn't stop there. Wanting to encourage her blog readers and Twitter followers to do the same, she shared relief food recipes and ideas for eco-friendly food containers on Twitter, Instagram and www.JenniEpperson.com.
She said, "We don't always have to do grand gestures, especially when you have your own family to take care of, but we must get involved in helping out."
It worked. Soon, her readers were cooking in their own kitchens to help nearby villages. @CharmLaconico posted this tweet: "@JenniEpperson cooked and packed food with my kids too! Inspired by you ;)"
Jenni said, "I think social media is phenomenal that way. The fact that by sharing photos and updates, my family could inspire people to cook for our fellow countrymen in need during this time of calamity and devastation is just amazing."
It has been days since she started, but Jenni doesn't plan to stop soon. "It's hard to sleep when you know there are people out there stranded in deep waters with no food, water or any kind of help."
When asked how long she intends to continue this project, she said, "'Oplan Luto-lutuan' is just my family's way of helping out—cooking meals for those in need. Our kitchen is open 24/7 to the needy."
She added, "They say that the kitchen is the heart of the home. In that case, ours is bursting with love!"

This is a big old probably 1950's 40"+ wide electric range with a left and right oven four top burners and a large prep area....the left oven lower bake element failed.....do not try to remove the element....simply slide out oven chamber after removing the safety bracket at the top that keeps the chamber from falling out....probably designed like this for easy cleaning.......the bake element is bolted to the back wall bracket so there are nuts on the back side to remove along with and a contact ground strap......the replacement element has bayonet type connecteors while the original had bent flat metal contacts......I was able to adjust the tension on the stationery contacts in the oven so the beyonet made a good connection....no clue how to duplicate the contacts on the original element nor did I see a choice in my on line parts search......fingers crossed this will last.....great old electric range with spacious ovens
