Protesters block roads with burning tires and trash in Cornich al-Mazraa, Beirut, on Monday, March 18, 2013. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
BEIRUT: Hezbollah and Amal helped Lebanese Army secure the detention of 10 of the assailants behind the recent attacks against four Sunni sheikhs in Beirut, Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said Monday, as protests erupted once more over the incidents that raised tensions in the country.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah reiterated its condemnation of the incident and said it would not shield any of those involved in the incidents.
"Ten people have so far been detained and they are being interrogated," Charbel told reporters after talks with Grand Mufti Mohammad Rashid Qabbani at Dar al-Fatwa, adding: "We need to know the motivation behind the incident ... Hezbollah and Amal cooperated with us in capturing the assailants."
Sheikh Mazen Hariri and Sheikh Ahmad Fekhran, two Sunni scholars, were attacked in Beirut's Khandak al-Ghamik Sunday evening shortly after leaving the Mohammad al-Amin Mosque in the downtown area.
In a separate incident later Sunday, Sheikh Ibrahim Abd al-Lattif and Sheikh Omar Imani were attacked in Shiyah on their way to Chtaura in the Bekaa Valley.
The assault on the Muslim scholars with Dar al-Fatwa, Lebanon's highest Sunni authority, saw political leaders scramble to condemn the attack, with several warning of attempts to ignite Sunni-Shiite strife that could plunge the country into an all-out conflict.
Protesters, still outraged over the incident, briefly blocked the roads in Qasqas and Cornich al-Mazraa with burning tires.
During the news conference at Dar al-Fatwa, Charbel said he had contacted heads of sects in the country, who he said had unanimously denounced the incident, "particularly Hezbollah and Amal."
Meanwhile, Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem contacted Qabbani, who had earlier urged Shiite leaders to lift "political cover" from the perpetrators in order to detain them.
According to Hezbollah's media office, Qassem regarded the attack "as part of the strife [some] seek between Muslims and Lebanese" and rejected any protection for the perpetrators.
"He praised the mufti's refusal to be dragged into strife and limiting the responsibility to the assailants without holding responsible [Lebanon's] sects, which have already disowned this condemned incident," a statement from Hezbollah said.
"Qassem urged for the judiciary to continue its work ... rejecting [political] cover by any one," it said.
The Hezbollah official also relayed Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah's insistence on the priority of Muslim and Lebanese unity as well as confronting strife.
In fiery remarks at the Maqased hospital after visiting two of the sheikhs, the mufti warned that the attack could trigger a sectarian conflict and asked Shiite political and military leaders to lift political cover from the perpetrators.
"From this point, strife begins. This is how it begins when some shave the beards of Sunni Muslim scholars," he said, adding that what the incidents were the result of a "political war" and provocative rhetoric.
The mufti, who has recently handed over day-to-day management of Dar al-Fatwa to Muslim scholars over disputes with the top Sunni administrative body, also said that the campaign against him by Sunni political officials had paved the way for the perpetrators "to dare and assault the preachers."
Also Monday, the Committee of Muslim Scholars met with the head of the Lebanese Army Gen. Jean Kahwagi at his office in Yarze.
The military chief affirmed "the military's determination to fend off strife and confront swiftly and firmly any breaches to citizens' security and stability in various Lebanese areas."
Various Lebanese officials condemned the incident, with Prime Minister Najib Mikati blaming the culture of violence in the country on political rhetoric.
"What happened last night reaffirms the need that all parties in Lebanon stop firing up [their partisans] and stop the tense rhetoric instead of trying to evade collective responsibility to protect the country and throw unsubstantiated accusations on the government," Mikati said in a statement.

James Bond is almost about to return to the fray in 'Skyfall', and as the movie nears its November release the most revealing trailer yet has arrived.
Strangely for a movie based around MI6, it actually give away quite a few of the film's secrets, revealing Javier Bardem as a blonde villain every bit as threatening as his his turn as Anton Chigurh in 'No Country For Old Men'.
We also see a potential love interest for Bond, and a strong hint that like in the Sean Connery classic 'You Only Live Twice', as Craig's Bond is taunted by Ralph Fiennes about why he didn't stay dead.
We get a first look at Ben Wishaw as Q, and an apparent new MI6, with the previous famous HQ suffering an explosion, similarly to 1999's 'The World Is Not Enough'. There's also a more sombre note as coffins draped in the British flag are shown.
WATCH: The brand new 'Skyfall' trailer.

Glee Season 4 Fashion Spoilers: Rachel and Kurt to Get Edgier Looks
Sure, Glee is known for its amazing song performances, but it's almost equally well-known for it's crazy fashions. So what can we expect to see Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Rachel (Lea Michele) wearing this season? Glee costume designer Elizabeth Martucci dishes the dirt.
Elizabeth tells Entertainment Weekly that Rachel will undergo a major fashion change in Episode 3, thanks to a "style intervention" courtesy of Kurt. At the beginning of Season 4, Rachel's outfits will feature many of those familiar preppy skirts and cute berets. But after Episode 3? Not so much.
"Her outfits become more sophisticated and body-conscious," Elizabeth says. "Once she makes the transition, you'll see her wearing edgier clothes from lines like Trina Turk, Rag & Bone and Alexander Wang."
Plus, you know how Rachel tends to have a signature necklace that she'll wear for multiple episodes? There's her "Finn" necklace and the gold star pendant rom Season 2, or the apple necklace from Glee's Season 3 finale. This season, we'll see her wearing a necklace that says "Rachel," which Lea and Elizabeth chose after discussing how Carrie had a similar necklace on Sex and the City.
And Elizabeth is also having a lot of fun dressing Kurt, as usual. "Kurt has always been fashion-forward, but his Vogue [internship] is something we can really have fun with," she says. "We dressed him in Balenciaga, Hugo Boss and Dior and also brought back pieces like his hippo brooch to remind him of where he's come from. " We can also look forward to seeing him in a pair of Paul Smith pants with a shark tooth print. Wait — isn't Shark Week over?
Just how much say do Chris and Lea have into their characters' wardrobes? "I always enjoy hearing the actors' thoughts — it's a collaboration," Elizabeth explains. So Lea and Chris are not only amazing performers, but they're also budding costume designers? Uh, is there anything they can't do?

Evolutionary Enlightenment: A New Path to Spiritual Awakening is the first book by Andrew Cohen that I've read. His name precedes him of course: both on the good and the not-so-good. But I'll let the book stand on it's own two feet. Let's start with the style: Andrew Cohen really is a great writer. The words just pull you along as though you were having a personal conversation with Andrew on your couch – and of course he doesn't stop talking 😉
Part of this book is inspiring – standing in the tradition of Sri Aurobindo and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (who in their turn built on Blavatsky, though without acknowledgement), he unites a vision of personal spirituality with one of universal evolution.
This is perhaps a very 'male' book: lots of metaphysics, little practical method. Also, it assumes an ultimately selfish aim to spiritual practice, even if the result is not as selfish:
When we embark on the spiritual quest, most of us, understandably, are pursuing freedom or enlightenment for our own sake. This is why we begin by asking, What do I really want? What is more important to me than anything else? But once your intention has become clear, and you sincerely pursue that one-pointed aspiration, a profound shift occurs. Over time, as your soul develops and matures through the practice of the first three tenets, you will see the quality of that intention evolve. And as you embrace the fourth tenet, and learn to see yourself as a very small part of a very big process, your relationship to the spiritual path becomes dramatically recontextualized. You discover that it's not about you. (p. 158, ch. Cosmic Consciousness)
It is a strange spiritual path where the result is different from the cause. It's roughly at this point in the book (about 2/3rds in) that Cohen lost me. Still, there were parts of the book I loved and I also thought I'd share some similarities to Tibetan Buddhist tradition that won't be immediately obvious to the casual reader. Since they're not referenced, and not the best known parts of that tradition, they are easily missed.
First off: we're asked to imagine the beginning of all being. This is reminiscent of a meditation exercise in which a Buddhist will be asked to find the beginning of consciousness. Imagining that: "You cannot go any deeper into yourself than the unmanifest dimension. There is nowhere else to go. Everything begins and ends in that primordial emptiness, which is why mystics call it the ground of Being." (pp 9, 10, ch. Before the Beginning)
More interesting to me is the second Buddhist reference (I'm ignoring the obviously more Hindu elements in his book):
When you think objectively about how much work went into creating your own capacity to have the experience you are having in this very moment – fourteen billion years of hard work – then it might even begin to strike you as immoral to spend too much time sitting around and worrying about the fears and desires of your personal ego. Surely the purpose of all that cosmic effort and creativity and positivity – from nothing to energy to light to matter to life to consciousness to you – could not possibly have been just for that. When you awaken to the evolutionary process and its endless creativity, and you discover how profound and complex the structure of our universe is, you start to recognize and appreciate, at a soul level, what a precious gift it is to be here. (p. 37, ch. A Big Yes)
The precious human rebirth is a meditation topic in the Tibetan Buddhist Lam Rim. It's where you realize just how lucky you are to be human, be reasonably healthy, live in a time when the Buddha's teachings are accessible, live in a place where the Buddha's teachings are accessible, have leisure time to practice etc. This meditation is meant to motivate us to become active practitioners and use our life well.
See the similarity? Of course Andrew Cohen's version is not sectarian: it's not about Buddha, but about spiritual progress in general. It's also updated to our time. He goes into this theme more explicitly in the chapter 'The Postmodern Predicament':
Think about it for a moment: if you are reading a book like this, the likelihood is that you are among the luckiest people who have ever been born. To begin with, you are one of those privileged to have received a high degree of education. People like you and me have access to information that wasn't available until very recently – about the life process, about our psychological development, the natural history of our planet, and the evolution of the expanding cosmos. Besides this wealth of knowledge, we also have a degree of material wealth, comfort, security, and leisure time that is historically unprecedented. The standard of living that we take for granted, kings and queens of old could not have imagined. And on top of all this, we enjoy a degree of freedom that is unparalleled – personal, political, religious, and philosophical. There have never been human beings who have had the extraordinary liberty we have to experiment with our own lives – to think in whatever way we want, to do almost anything we want, to say anything we want, to go anywhere we want, to be whatever we want. (p. 78, Ch. The Postmodern Predicament)
I quote that paragraph in full because it really is amazing, the luxury of our everyday lives. It's easy to forget, especially with stories of economic crisis abounding on TV. Sure, the crisis is there, but for most of us it doesn't mean we're homeless, or lose our internet connection, or our kids won't go to school etc. It's RELATIVE poverty some of my readers here have to face, not absolute poverty. Even if you did lose your job, you probably still have heating in your car, radio, tv, the ability to drive for miles without having to bother (or hire) another human being or buy an animal (say a horse and cart). We tend to forget that, because it's beyond our experience.
This is an anti-traditionalist book: Andrew Cohen has issues with the kind of spirituality that leads away from this world into seclusion and experiencing 'the now'. However, it's not clear to me what the alternative is he offers. But let's get back to his own words:
This awakened passion for evolutionary transformation is not reasonable. It demands change, right now, and it will not wait, because God is always desperate to grow. God is infinite in the unmanifest realm. But in the manifest realm God is not infinite – God can only know him- or herself to the extent to which conscious beings are actually able to awaken to their own absolute nature. (p. 52, Ch. The Universe Project)
There are layers of cultural conditioning, values and assumptions about how things should be that color our perspectives without us even knowing it. And many people believe that within our psyches we also carry the unresolved stories of previous lifetimes. All these factors play a part in the complex web of motives and impulses that makes up your sense of self. All this is you. And yet it is possible to take responsibility for all of these dimensions of who you are, through the transformative recognition that you are always the one who is choosing. (p. 71, Ch. Enlightening the Choosing Faculty)
When you awaken to the truth that your human experience of consciousness and cognition, your personal presence here on this small planet, is part of an infinitely bigger process than you had ever imagined, you may notice an uncomfortable and perhaps unfamiliar sensation stirring within you – a sense of obligation.
But if we choose – consciously or unconsciously – to live a life of mediocrity, then we are also making a statement. Because we are not flourishing, what we are saying, whether we intend it or not, is that the evolutionary process is not flourishing. (Ch. The Moral Imperative)
As long as we remain invested in the ego's need to manipulate reality, we will find that we keep making the same mistakes, over and over and over again, because we are deliberately avoiding aspects of the way things are. It's not a mystery: if we are trying to get somewhere, but we cover our eyes to avoid seeing the obstacles that lie in our path, it's no wonder we keep tripping over them.…(p. 139) But the point is that when you choose to avoid, you lose touch with your own soul. Emotionally, you become disconnected from your own deeper dimensions. It's as if there is a wall, a barrier, between you and your own authenticity. And far too many of us get accustomed to living that way.…(p. 141) When you remove the protective shield of avoidance and self-protection, there is an intensity and vulnerability to the human experience. And the complexity of life hits you more directly. … It demands that you be emotionally willing to bear a degree of reality – both in regard to yourself and to life itself – that you may have been unwilling to tolerate before.

Family Wants Simmons Will Sealed
DALLAS (AP) – The wife of recently deceased Texas billionaire Harold Simmons wants his will sealed by a Dallas court.
Attorneys for Annette Simmons are expected to argue Wednesday before a Dallas County probate judge to have the will's contents blocked from public view.
Simmons was an East Texas native who rose from poverty to head a sprawling corporate empire with interests ranging from energy to nuclear waste dumps. He donated hundreds of millions of dollars to charitable causes. He was also well known in the political world for his funding of Republican and conservative campaigns.
He bankrolled the 2004 ads questioning Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's Vietnam War service. Four years later, he funded ads attacking Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

What takes prominence the icon or the Eagle? Organizing for America, the Island of Misfit toys for the Obama administration, creates paid ads on google for the results of "Obama Lies". The ads link to a page covered in this Icon and used as bullets for "Setting the Record Straight" which only ignores the truth. The Obama Lies site is proud to announce that we publish the real truth without spending on cent of tax payer money.

We are sorry that you missed your chance to see John Sebastian's performance.
Those of you who were able to purchase tickets to Saturday's event, doors open for seat selection at 6:45 pm for Golden Café Pass Holders and 7:00 pm for General Admission Ticket Holders.
"John Sebastian is one of the very select group of songwriters – including also John Lennon, Ray Davies, and Brian Wilson – for whom the term 'genius' doesn't seem just a publicist's wild notion."
Best known as a founder of The Lovin' Spoonful – America's answer to the British Invasion – John Sebastian is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, autoharpist, and harmonica player. With top ten hits like "Do You Believe in Magic," "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice," and "Daydream," the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. Sebastian also has the distinction of having performed at Woodstock in 1969. In 1976, he had a number one single with Welcome Back, the theme song to the sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter.

"My kingdom is not here"
November 22nd, 2015 (see other dates)
Our Lord Jesus Christ the King
Discussion Questions for Reading 1Today is the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King. In this reading from Daniel, we can see Jesus as the Son of Man who receives kingship from God the Father. What do we learn from Daniel about the Son of Man's kingship? How is Jesus different from any worldly king or leader? What are some of the qualities you admire in Christ our King?
What ideas do you have about how we can best honor Christ the King?
Reading 1 Daniel 7:13-14
Reading 1 ReflectionOnce again we share the visions of the prophet Daniel. He sees "one like a son of man" coming from the heavens into the presence of God. This Messiah king receives from God the Father power and kingship over all nations. His rule is universal and it lasts forever. No one can take it away from him.
"Son of Man" later became a title of the Messiah. Jesus applied this title to himself. The Messiah was also thought of as a king. When Jesus was on trial before the high priest, he quoted the vision of Daniel to describe himself.
Discussion Questions for Reading 2The feast of Christ the King reminds us that to be a disciple of Jesus in today's world we should be able to recognize the "signs of the times."
· What "signs of the times" are you most aware of?
· How do you respond if the sign is negative?
Give an example and suggest how you might change a negative sign of the times into something positive.
Reading 2 Revelation 1:5-8
Reading 2 ReflectionWe are delighted whenever someone we love is honored. In this reading from the beginning of the Book of Revelation, the inspired author has a vision of the second coming of Jesus Christ. He comes in the clouds as the "ruler of the kings of earth." He is the "First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." He is the faithful witness to God's promises and the first to rise from the dead. Now he is honored as a crucified and risen King.
On this triumphant feast day we rejoice in Christ's kingship. And we give thanks that Jesus has made of us a royal priesthood to serve our God and Father.
Discussion Questions for GospelTrial scenes are often dramatized in movies and on TV. Imagine that you are a Roman soldier who is present at Pilate's official residence as the prisoner Jesus of Nazareth is being questioned. What might you think when you heard Jesus' answer to Pilate's question, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Why might you be surprised when you heard Jesus describe his kingdom? How might you respond when you heard why Jesus had come into the world? How do you think you would feel about this prisoner-king who was facing a possible death sentence?
What are some of the ways people your age can show that they are committed to Jesus as the way, the truth and the life? How can you give evidence that Jesus rules in your life?
Gospel John 18:33b-37
Gospel ReflectionWhat kind of king is Jesus? In this reading from the passion story in John's Gospel, Jesus provides us with his own answer. Pontius Pilate was the Roman official who held power in Palestine. He asks Jesus if he is the king of the Jews. Pilate really wants to know whether Jesus might be part of a Jewish revolt against Roman rule. Jesus assures Pilate that his kingdom is not of this world. He is not one who rules by force. However he is a king who came into the world to "testify to the truth." All who recognize him as "the way and the truth and the life" will hear his voice (John 14:6).
As the Church year comes to a close, we are grateful for the ways in which we have heard our King's voice in the liturgy this year. We consider how to live the words of Jesus more faithfully as the circle of the new liturgical year begins.
Proclaiming Faith Activities for Primary Grades
Christ the King CrownsEach child will make a crown to celebrate the feast of Christ the King. Provide each child with a pattern of a crown. Have them cut along the zigzag line and staple the two pieces together to make a crown. Provide sequins, stickers, paint, markers, etc. for the children to use to decorate their crowns. Have the children wear their crowns as they sing the song, Christ Our King, in celebration of the feast of Christ the King.
Christ Our King SongChrist Our King
(Sing to the tune of Frere Jacques)
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
is our king;
is our king.
He rules with peace and justice.
He gives life to all people.
We praise him.
Praise our king.
Let us worship,
let us worship,
Christ our king;
Christ our king.
As king he shows the way,
the truth, and the life.
We praise him.
Praise our king.
Proclaiming Faith Activities
Pledging AllegianceA pledge of allegiance is a promise to be loyal to a nation or to a ruler. Today we celebrate Jesus Christ as our King. He is a king who rules by truth and love, and who desires justice and peace for all people.
With your partner or group, compose a Pledge of Allegiance to Jesus Our King. In your pledge, include what Jesus stands for and why we are loyal to him.
Celebrating Growing SeasonsWe have come full circle around the Church year. Together we have grown and changed during each season from Advent to Ordinary Time. Just as your appearance has changed since last Advent, you now "look different" as a person of faith.
For each season below, complete the statement by naming one way you have grown in your understanding of the Church year, or one way you have changed in the way you live your faith.
I celebrate Advent as a season when I grew or changed by _____________________________________.
I celebrate Christmas as a season when I grew or changed by _____________________________________.
I celebrate Lent and the Triduum as seasons when I grew or changed by _____________________________________.

Nicki Minaj's Thrilled Fans Get Her Booted From Posh London Hotel
In an unexpected turn of events, the wig-wearing MC was kicked out of the establishment after loyal supporters and paparazzi came out in full force, causing unwanted attention and a massive disturbance for the rest of the Dorchester's guests.
Our friends at The Boombox report that the 'Right Thru Me' rhymer took to Twitter to share her disappointment after realizing she was being ejected from the posh digs. "long day of press only to find out we've officially been kicked out the hotel! Lmaoooooooo. Rescue me barbz!!!! Pleeeeeeeasse *martha voice* [sic]" Minaj tweeted.
Though pandemonium also broke out at one of her scheduled UK shows, Minaj was thankful for the turnout there and back at her hotel. "S/O all the kids outside the hotel just now. It got a bit CRAZY but I rlly appreciate ur support. Hopefully the next hotel will be nicer :)" she wrote.
Minaj, who is currently resting at a new hotel in an undisclosed location, spoke with DJ Semtex about the overwhelming response she's received while traveling abroad. "I've never gone through this in my life," she expressed. "I wish I could have this moment for life. This moment right now, being here, is the best thing in the world." The animated rapper is making her rounds throughout London, having performed at the West End's Studio Valbonne on Friday.

I loooovvvveeee her!!! I am thankful that we are at a time in history that we black folks can create any image we want for our art. We used to all have to look and dress and act the same. It sucked!!! Now we can be as individual as we want our image to be, and still be successful!!! Loving it!!! Other people could dye their hair, change their nose, and wear whatever they wanted, but we as black folks always looked down upon anyone black who wanted to stand out as an individuals. I say "GO FOR IT!!!!!"

I have never heard of her but she looks like a botched attempt at a black Barbie doll on bad acid. A few years from now no one will even know she existed. Sorry I am wrong. Most people don't even know she exists now. I would hate to see what her loyal fans look like. I bet there's a fine young bunch of cannibals.

Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford says he won't return to politics, but offers up a wish list for his party's presidential nominee:Continue Reading
"I would say the attributes that I'm looking for at this point is a combination of Paul Ryan and Chris Christie," Sanford told Fox News in his first national interview since admitting the affair that crashed his political stock. "Right now, I've been a bit disappointed on the degree to which people are stepping out or not stepping out on real remedies."

As computer technology becomes increasingly important in our daily lives—from emailing and Facebooking to researching and Photoshopping — we feel that the Sag Harbor School District is commendable in charging forward with their laptop program. Although most of us here graduated high school without the use of the Internet (some of us without computers at all) we do realize how crucial a tool this has become in the 21st Century. And as an ever-growing medium we feel it is necessary for our children to graduate with a complete understanding of the technology that will help them be successful in the work force.
Not only will this give our kids a greater understanding of a variety of software, but the use of computers in the classroom has been linked to higher test scores, most likely because the information is made readily available. And let's face it — much faster to access.Â
In the "real world," we rely on computers in so much of our day and we would like to make sure that students at the high school have the same exposure to this opportunity.
With the experience kids will get from using the laptops, they will be better prepared for the future.
We also feel that the leasing program seems to be the best option for the school. (We're even considering it for our office.) With the replacement of computer technologies moving at such a fast pace, we acknowledge that these laptops will quickly become outdated. By leasing the equipment it seems it will provide the school with consistently new and updated equipment and provide better insurance opportunities.
We believe the school district is on the right track with this one and that this is money well spent.
On the other hand, we also learned this week that 12 staff cell phones are costing the district nearly $17,000. We feel there is surely some investigating to be done in this area.

For the second consecutive weekend, downtown will be flooded with residents and visitors as the Junior Auxiliary of Starkville hosts its first Chilifest from 5-8 p.m. Friday on Main Street.
The event will be held between Lampkin and Jackson streets, and tickets for the chili tasting are $5. The JA has gathered approximately 10 teams for the event.
JA member and event chairman Mamie Kosko said the inspiration for Chilifest came from a similar event in another state.
"I went to a Chilifest in Texas and I thought it was a fantastic event. I thought Starkville could do really well having one of these," she said. "As a member of JA, I thought it would be a great project for us to host to raise money for the children of Oktibbeha County."
Kosko said Main Street will close at 4 p.m. Friday with the event beginning after the Mississippi State University Homecoming parade is held.
"The weather will be perfect, and we thought it would be a great event, especially for homecoming weekend. (It is) a fun, family event that (will) bring the city, campus, out-of-town visitors and Bulldog fans together," she said. "We'll have the chili tasting and a children's village with inflatables along with face painting and other fun activities. Live music will be provided by Bill Davis, Callie North and Honey Boy and the Boots."
Kosko said chili teams consist of restaurants, business, individuals and community clubs with the winner receiving a trophy for first place and the official Chilifest apron.
"There's no rule as to what can be put into your chili," she said. "We do ask, however, that if something has a high allergy rate — like shellfish, nuts or anything like that — a sign will be posted letting the public know what's in it."
Fifth-year JA member Donna Rupp said proceeds from the event will go toward the multiple projects the organization oversees benefitting the children of Oktibbeha County, including Safety Town and the new playground at Sudduth Elementary School.
"There are various things that we do throughout the year, and we try to reach children from kindergarten through fifth or sixth grade," she said. "We donate a lot of money to the schools for various projects and needs."
JA member Foley Holditch said she enjoys getting out into the public and meeting a wide variety of people through the organization.
"I've gotten to meet so many people in the community because of JA," she said. "It's been a great experience meeting some of the students and being able to give back to the community. It's very gratifying."
Kosko said she is hopeful Friday's event will be successful and garner enough support to become yearly tradition.
"I think it's going to be fun for people of all ages because we've got something for everyone to enjoy, so I'm very excited about that," she said. "We're hoping this will become an annual event."
The Starkville JA's Chilifest begins at 5 p.m. on Main Street between Lampkin and Jackson streets.

Singapore to Conquer French Contemporary Art Market – artmarketblog.com
Singapore to Conquer French Contemporary Art Market – artmarketblog.com
Having focused recent posts on the Southeast Asian art market, I found it particularly interesting that Artprice have announced that Singapore should soon overtake France in the field of Contemporary art sales. Although 2011 was a better year for France than 2010, the French art market is still lagging behind other major art market centres. Currently fourth in world art market rankings, France may be heading further down the list if Singapore continues to rise through the ranks.
Evidence of the growing profile of Singapore as an art market hub is the success of the Art Stage Singapore art fair first held in 2010 and currently taking place in Singapore from the 12th to the 15th of January. According to their website: "Art Stage embraces Singapore's unique position as a bridge between the East and the West in a celebration of both emerging new regional artists and international superstar names." The inaugural edition of the fair attracted 121 galleries from 26 countries and regions, and 30 special projects, with the number of visitors hitting 32,000. This year, the show will host 120 exhibitors from 18 diverse nations and will be introducing 50 special projects. Adding to the hype of the 2012 edition of the fair is the inclusion of major international galleries such as White Cube, Haunch of Venison and Victoria Miro.
What first alerted me to the importance of Singapore to the market for Southeast Asian art was the number of works by Indonesian and Filipino artists being sold by Singaporean auction houses. The main auction houses with a presence in Singapore are Masterpiece Fine Art Auction, Borobudur Auction, Larasati Auctioneers and 33 auction. Enticing bidders with the lowest buyers premium in Singapore of between 10% – 12%, 33 auction auction have proven to be one of the main players in the Singapore art market. Having moved major sales of modern and contemporary South-East Asian paintings from Singapore to Hong Kong in 2007, both Christie's and Sotheby's may now be regretting this move. The move did, however, allow the regional auction houses to gain a foothold that has resulted in a strong regional art auction market that continues to grow.
Without the same high profile as artists coming out of Indonesia and the Philippines, Singaporean contemporary artists still have a long way to go before they catch up to the success of Singapore as a destination for Southeast Asian art. But, with the way the Singapore art market is heading, it may only be a matter of time before we see some big prices for Singaporean artists – and the French being left behind by the Singapore art market machine.

Both Christie's and Sotheby's moved their sales to HK because of the unsifficent collector's base.Very slow sales at this year's Art Stage confirm that there are not enough collectors to buy art and not enough interest even to visit the art fair. According to the gallerists there were very little visitors on 2nd and 3rd day of the art fair.

Chevrolet Corvette C6 Driveline Enhancements - Smooth Yet Strong - Tech
AntiVenom's ace technician Kyle Miller made short work of the center console, removing the bolts on the armrest and the piece of plastic (on the side) that retains the silver plastic around the radio and shifter. Then he carefully unclipped all of the electrical connections before pulling it all the way off. Our shifter of choice (MGW) came with a very helpful CD with step-by-step instructions on doing this, as well as the rest of the install.
After pulling out the sound deadening material, Kyle removed the four 3/8-inch bolts on the stock shifter.
Anything that connected the rear cradle to the brakes, spindles, or chassis was unbolted on both sides. Such items include the tie rods, lower shock bolts, brake line brackets, lower control arm-to-spindle bolts, and ball joints. Any other wiring, such as the ABS sensors and sensors in the trans or rear, is unplugged and pulled out of the way.
The H-pipe was unbolted from the cats and over-axle pipes then removed to gain access to the tunnel and the plate, which conceals the torque tube. Mr. T says, "I pity the fool that doesn't have an air gun to remove all of those bolts!"
Kyle removes the bolts that connect the cradle to the chassis with Strongest Man champion Magnus Von Magnussen (aka AntiVenom owner Greg Lovell) dead lifting the huge chunk of aluminum.
With the transmission and rear properly supported, the axles are popped out of the shafts (from the differential).
From there Kyle starts lowering the transaxle assembly down carefully, while guiding the shifter linkage through and out of the torque tube. A good trans jack is key.
Once at chest level, the rearend housing is unbolted and slid off the trans output shaft. We'll come back to this later. For now, Kyle will be getting to work on the clutch.
To do so, the torque tube is unbolted while being supported. AntiVenom has a couple of thin pieces of metal that hang on the lip of the tunnel that make this a little easier and a lot safer.
Once the bellhousing is unbolted, the pressure plate and clutch are a piece of cake. The bolts on the bellhousing can be a bit difficult to reach on the topside, but a long extension and small swivel come in handy.
At the recommendation of Greg at AntiVenom, who understood my need for a stock-like soft pedal, we chose the RAM Force 9.5 Street Dual Disc (PN 75-2100). It holds 800 lb-ft and still uses all organic material for a smooth feel! It also comes with an aluminum flywheel and a combination of sprung and unsprung discs to do away with chatter without giving up any clamping power. The preset setup height of the clutch negates any spacers, and the smaller diameter of the clutch is designed to reduce weight without causing any low rpm bucking. Believe it or not, most retailers sell this unit for just under $950-that's $600 to $1,000 cheaper than competitive products.
Kyle started pulling the clutch assembly apart to prepare for install. Here you can see the specially designed floater plate, which bolts the unsprung bottom clutch to the flywheel. Those three sets of straps are designed to eliminate the common rattle at idle (with dual disc designs). To the right you can see the sprung top clutch sitting on the underside of the pressure plate.
The new flywheel is bolted up to the LS2's crank with the supplied 11mm bolts, which require 80-85 ft-lb of force to secure them. Kyle finds blue Loctite to be the ideal bolt-thread adhesive in these (and most) situations.
An old input shaft is used to keep the bottom clutch from moving while the straps on the floater plate are torqued to 30 ft-lb. The flange side of the hub, which is a larger diameter than the other on the clutch, must face the transmission.
The input shaft is reused, this time lining up both clutches, as the pressure plate is torqued to 30 ft-lb. The black marker makes properly lining up the pressure plate with the flywheel a no-brainer.
AntiVenom says .100-inch clearance is needed for the slave cylinder to collapse and extend properly, so as not to cause premature wear. After reinstalling the bellhousing, Greg uses a tape measure and straightedge to verify.
While Kyle reinstalled the torque tube, Greg got to work on the trans. Since we are switching over to the Z06 rear, the tailhousing on the trans will also need to be unbolted and swapped over. Two rubber chucks were placed on the bottom to put the trans upright and prevent the input shaft from scraping the ground.
Here you can see why the tailhousing needs to be swapped. The attachment points for the rear are completely different. Two more bolts and one more stud secure the two; to add strength in the same way the C5/C6 differential strut braces better tie the transaxle together. And a better marriage means less chance of a split or crack in the differential housing. RPM supplies this tailhousing, along with the required bolts and gasket, in its kit.
The reverse idler assembly must also be transferred over. The shaft bracket is unbolted, which retains the gear and bearing that are bookended by two washers.
The old gasket is scraped off, careful not to drop any pieces into the trans. This is more time consuming than you'd think.
Behold the OS Giken Super Lock LSD. As you increase power in your C5 or C6, upgrading the posi will become a must and the Super Lock is one of the best out there before stepping up to a more drag race oriented gear-type posi. This torque-based clutch-style unit is perfectly suited to corner carvers in that it will allow proper slippage in a turn, torque biasing when exiting a turn, and then a full (and hard) lock during straight line acceleration. In case you are not familiar, OS Giken has been making limited-slip differentials for high-horsepower Supras, Skylines, Porsches, and Bimmers (among others) for years. Their recent foray into the Vette and Viper market is on the heals of the success they've had with many professional drift and road race cars.
Besides the tailhousing and the way it mates to the rear, the Z06 unit is also significantly different in its reinforcement that is most noticeable topside. Look at the extra ribbing.
The ABS/VSS sensor is transferred over, as are the differential mounts (where it bolts to the cradle), and the differential is bolted up to the tailhousing with the RPM-supplied bolts.
The new Z06 rear does not have the 41-tooth reluctor (or tone ring) on the gear as you see here on the stock '05 piece, however the old VSS sensor transfers over without a problem. The signal is picked up off the teeth of the ring gear with an '06-or-newer rear, but thankfully since the sensor works off a magnetic pulse and the 3.42 ring gear also has 41 teeth it works perfectly. Had we decided to step up to a 3.90 gear, Greg would have had to change the VSS Pulse programming using HP Tuners to correct the speedometer and ABS system.
Since we had to drain the trans to remove it and install the new tailhousing, it was the perfect opportunity to change the stock 45,000-mile fluid to Royal Purple SynchroMax, which is RPM's preferred fluid of choice. Many people have recommended this fluid for T56s, and stated a marked improvement of how the trans shifts. The new rear received some fresh 75W90 synthetic gear lube as well, with a half bottle of GM posi additive.
C6s don't have the worst stock shifter in the GM fleet, but it's definitely sloppy enough to miss a shift or two. Why struggle when you can R&R with MGW's Billet Short Throw Shifter? For $250 MGW offers one of the highest quality pieces on the market, chock full of aircraft grade aluminum and stainless steel as well as billet aluminum. Choose from any one of three handles for the stock shift knob or one from the aftermarket.
Allen screws and wrenches are included to complete the install of the shifter and handle. The sound isolator goes on before the handle; there is also another piece of rubber that goes over top before the console goes back in. After putting Humpty Dumpty back together, our initial impression of the shifter is that it is the perfect combination of precision and comfort. Not too notchy, and not too soft or vague either. The clutch also delivered as promised-stock-like pedal effort and feel. Great success! Our daily driver is still as fun to drive as ever-in fact, even more so.

Originally written on The Football Fan Spot | Last updated 9/11/12
Last week: 12 (+0) Record: 0-1 And here's the other half of the controversial prediction. On one hand, I nailed the Rams/Lions game. The Rams showed they were a better team than last year on both sides of the ball. On the other hand, my prediction of the Rams in the playoff only makes sense if the 49ers don't prove me wrong. If Alex Smith improbably becomes a true franchise quarterback at age 28, proving Jim Harbaugh to be a genius, allowing them to win in spite of the regressed turnover differential and more injuries they almost definitely will suffer, the Rams don't have much of a chance to get in the playoffs as a wild card in a loaded NFC. I'm sticking with this one more week. We'll see what happens this week. A few concerning things for the Rams, they lost two starters on the offensive line to injury, center Scott Wells and left tackle Rodger Saffold. Part of my reasoning for an improved Rams team was an improved offensive line, with Scott Wells coming in and Rodger Saffold com...

When we got to Coldfoot it was raining pretty good to the north so we chose to turn back at that point. Similar to LaurelPerryOnLand. I had to change the Rear Tourance before I left AK because of wear. I usually get 8,000 out of a set but the rear was gone at 6,000. The roads up there seem to eat tires more than here in CA. Given that I wouldn't start on a set of TKC's I only get 3 - 4,000 from them. If it were to do it again, I'd start on Tourances and have a set of TKC's available that I could use for the dalton depending on the weather.
What you might do is start off on Tourances and switch to the TKCs in Dalton for the ride to Inuvik.
There's some bike friendly people there than can help you make that happen.
Check the AK regionals.
Put the Tourances (or Anakees if you prefer) back on when you get back to Dalton and head for Tok. Top of the world sould be no problem wet or dry.
Food for though. Most of all enjoy your trip. I need to do it again.
This is a good place where you can either buy tires or have your tires SHIPPED to and they'll mount them for you when you pass through Fairbanks. They've even got a POWER WASHER you can use to de-gunk your bike after returning from the Dalton!
