Marshall Senior
40: 4.46
Shows good speed and burst in pursuit, and can be hard to beat to the edge. Is able to step up and fill vs. the inside run. Can get off blocks and make the stop at the point of attack. Willing to meet the lead blocker, whether fullback or lineman in the hole. Comfortable putting his hand in the dirt and rushing off the edge. Has a nice first step and flashes potential as a bull rusher off the corner. Does a nice job getting upfield as an interior blitzer as well. Is a solid tackler, that breaks down, wraps up and drives through ballcarrier, delivering a nice hit.
Gets caught in traffic at times at the point of attack and can get swarmed under by the inside run. Can get overaggressive and get caught out of position at times vs. the run. Doesn't always take great angles in pursuit and can get beat to the corner because of it. Doesn't do much in coverage and rarely asked to drop in coverage. Not fluid and natural moving in space when he does.
Harvey has a good combination of size and speed and is a capable pass rusher that does his best work around and behind the line of scrimmage. But he's limited in coverage and thus will need to play in a system that can hide his flaws. A three-year starter for Marshall, he was their leading tackler in each season. He combined for 367 tackles, 33 for loss, 20 sacks, 1 interception, 8 pass breakups, 5 forced fumbles, and 3 recoveries in that three-year span. He played at Hargrave Military before coming to Marshall.
If he was 6-2, then he would be a very good fit as a pass rushing OLB in a 3-4 scheme. The 3-4 is probably going to be his best scheme because of his pass rushing ability. And playing inside is the position he's used to. But I wouldn't be completely opposed to playing him outside. James Harrison is only 6-feet tall, so it's not unheard of for 3-4 OLBs to be short and effective. He has good speed and ability to make plays vs. the run and as a pass rusher. But the biggest concern is coverage. He has the speed and range to be effective there, but he doesn't seem as natural and instinctual when he's playing on his heels. He's a guy that is good when he can attack the ball, as what I call a run and hit defender. But I'm not sure he's super-instinctual. But I think ultimately he can work as a 3-4 inside linebacker because of his speed, physicality, and pass rush ability. I think give him a few years to work out the kinks in coverage, and he'll be fine. And as long as he's playing in a scheme that will give him opportunities as a pass rusher he's going to be OK in the long run. In a 4-3 scheme, he can be decent there as well, although he's shorter than you like as an outside linebacker. But the value for him is that he can play on the outside and on passing downs he can put his hand in the dirt and rush the passer rather than asking him to drop off into coverage. So a 4-3 scheme might hide his flaws even better. But ultimately, I think Harvey can be a good playmaking linebacker, just not a guy that is super instinctual. With veterans and talent around him, that shouldn't be a huge obstacle to get around.
Harvey could work in Atlanta because he has the pass rush potential that the team wants at the SAM linebacker spot. Like Nicholas, he is not going to be great in coverage. But you like his speed and potential in pursuit and space more than Nicholas. But playing him near the line of scrimmage will help him. He's not the best candidate to come in and start right away for the Falcons, but I think with a year under his belt, he should be ready to handle a starting OLB position in the Falcons scheme and be effective if the Falcons can maximize his speed/range and pass rush ability. But it might take him another year or two before he can really grow into his role and start to make more plays than he gives up. But he gives the Falcons a third fast and physical thumping linebacker.
For a 3-4 team, Harvey is a nice fit in the third round. A 4-3 team might want to wait until the fourth because it could take a bit longer for him to develop.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Speed: 4.0
Tackling: 4.0
Coverage: 2.0
Point of Attack: 3.5
Instincts: 2.5
Pass Rush: 4.0

Convert, a former fighter in Afghanistan, had protested Islamic attack.
SARGODHA, Pakistan, November 5 (CDN) — Muslim extremists in Islamabad on Monday (Nov. 1) beat with bricks and hockey sticks a Christian clergyman who is the subject of a fatwa demanding his death.
The Rev. Dr. Suleman Nasri Khan, a former fighter in Afghanistan before his conversion to Christianity in 2000, suffered a serious head injury, a hairline fracture in his arm and a broken bone in his left ankle in the assault by 10 Muslim extremists; he was able to identify two of them as Allama Atta-Ullah Attari and Allama Masaud Hussain.
The attack in Chashma, near Iqbal Town in Islamabad, followed Islamic scholar Allama Nawazish Ali's Oct. 25th fatwa (religious ruling) to kill Khan, pastor of Power of the Healing God's Church in the Kalupura area of Gujrat city. A mufti (Islamic scholar) and member of Dawat-e-Islami, which organizes studies of the Quran and Sunnah (sayings and deeds of Muhammad), Ali is authorized to issue fatwas.
Khan, 34, had relocated to a rented apartment in Islamabad after fleeing his home in Gujrat because of death threats against him and his family, he said. The fatwa, a religious order to be obeyed by all Muslims, was issued after Khan protested anti-Christian violence in Kalupura last month.
Muslim extremists who learned of his conversion had first attacked Khan in 2008 – killing his first child, 3-month old Sana Nasri Khan. He and wife Aster Nasri Khan escaped.
"During the Kalupura Christian colony attacks, once again it came into the attention of Muslim men that I was a converted Christian who had recanted Islam, deemed as humiliation of Islam by them," Khan said.
In this week's attack, Khan also sustained minor rib injuries and several minor cuts and bruises. He said the Muslim radicals pelted him with stones and bricks while others kicked him in the chest and stomach. They also tried to force him to recite Islam's creed for conversion; he refused.
On Monday night (Nov. 1) Khan had gone out to buy milk for a daughter born on July 19 – named after the daughter who was killed in 2008, Sana Nasri Khan – when during the wee hours of the night five unidentified Muslim extremists began kicking and pounding on the door.
"When my wife asked who they were, they replied, 'We have learned that you have disgraced Islam by recanting, therefore we will set your house on fire," Khan told Compass. "When my wife told them that I was not at home, they left a letter threatening to torch the house and kill my whole family and ordered me to recant Christianity and embrace Islam."
Khan had sold some of his clothes at a pawnshop in order to buy milk for the baby, as he has been financially supporting six Christian families from his congregation who are on a Muslim extremist hit list. Islamic militants have cordoned off parts of Kalupura, patrolling the area to find and kill the families of Allah Rakha Masih, Boota Masih, Khalid Rehmat, Murad Masih Gill, Tariq Murad Gill and Rashid Masih.
Often feeding her 5-month-old daughter water mixed with salt and sugar instead of milk or other supplements, Aster Nasri Khan said she was ready to die of starvation for the sake of Jesus and His church. Before her beaten husband was found, she said she had heard from neighbors that some Muslim men had left him unconscious on a roadside, thinking he was dead.
The Rev. Arif Masih of Power of the Healing God's Church in Islamabad told Compass that he was stunned to find Khan unconscious in a pool of blood on the roadside. Saying he couldn't go to police or a hospital out of fear that Muslims would level apostasy charges against Khan, Masih said he took him to the nearby private clinic of Dr. Naeem Iqbal Masih. Khan received medical treatment there while remaining unconscious for almost four hours, Masih said.
Born into a Muslim family, Khan had joined the now-defunct Islamic militant group Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, which later emerged as Jaish-e-Muhammad, fighting with them for eight and half years in Kashmir and Afghanistan.
While fighting in Afghanistan's civil war in 2000, he said, he found a New Testament lying on the battlefield. He immediately threw it away, but a divine voice seemed to be extending an invitation to him, he said. When he later embraced Christ, he began preaching and studying – ending up with a doctorate in biblical theology from Punjab Theological Seminary in Kasur in 2005.
Upon learning of the Oct. 25 fatwa against him, Khan immediately left Gujrat for Islamabad, he said. He was living in hiding in Chashma near Iqbal Town when Muslims paid his landlord, Munir Masih, to reveal to them that Khan was living at his house as a tenant, he said. A young Christian whose name is withheld for security reasons informed Khan of the danger on Oct. 29, he said.
The young Christian told him that Munir Masih revealed his whereabouts to Allama Atta-Ullah Attari, a member of Dawat-e-Islami.
Khan said he confided to Christian friends about the dangers before him, and they devised a plan to hide his family in Bara Koh, a small town near Islamabad.
"But as I had sold and spent everything to help out Kalupura Christians," he said, "I was penniless and therefore failed to move on and rent a house there."
Report from Compass Direct News
Christian in Jharkhand state may have been slain during Islamic festival.
NEW DELHI, September 28 (CDN) — Family members of a Christian worker who was found dead in a Muslim area in Jharkhand state a day after the Islamic Eid festival said they suspect he may have been murdered by local residents.
The body of Shravan Kumar, who had worked with the Gospel Echoing Missionary Society, was found lying in a well near the Idgah Mosque in Garhwa town in the wee hours of Sept. 13, a close relative of the deceased told Compass by phone.
Kumar, 31, lived in Pratapgarh district in neighboring Uttar Pradesh state. He left for Garhwa, 65 kilometers (40 miles) from his house, saying he wanted to see a colleague there on Sept 10.
"But neither did he visit the colleague, nor did he get back home," said the relative.
On Sept. 15, a family member went to Garhwa looking for him. He found his picture in an advertisement police had placed in a local newspaper in an effort to identify the body.
"When Kumar's body was handed over to the family, it was beyond recognition; it had swollen," said the relative.
Later, the family member went to the well in Garhwa where the body was found. Local youths who pulled Kumar's body from the well the morning of Sept. 13 informed the family member that they noticed injuries on his face and around his neck. Police were immediately informed, but officers did not arrive until 10 p.m.
"Kumar had lived in a rented house in Garhwa a few years ago, and on the morning of Sept. 12 he visited his old landlord and mentioned that he planned to preach in the Idgah Mosque area," said the source, adding that Kumar's family suspected "that he preached to the Muslims on the Eid festival, and as a result he was killed and thrown in the well."
A police spokesman, however, said he refused to believe that Kumar was murdered. Deputy Superintendent of Police Ashok Kumar Singh told Compass that "as of now" police were not exploring any possibility of a crime.
"The post-mortem report says there was no injury mark on his body, and he died by drowning," Singh said.
In 1998, Kumar had received a head injury after suspected Hindu nationalist extremists hit him with a rod in Sitamani in neighbouring Bihar, the relative said.
"Since then, he had been suffering from a mild psychological ailment," he added. "If he did not take his daily medicine, he would get a little disturbed and begin to preach to non-Christians aggressively. This is what may have happened on Sept. 12 when he preached in the Muslim area."
Kumar, who became a Christian from a Hindu background in 1997, held prayer meetings in his house shortly after his conversion against the wishes of local Hindu nationalists, the relative added.
The religious atmosphere in India was tense at the time of his death. On Sept. 13, Muslim mobs burned a Christian school and a church, both belonging to the Church of North India (CNI), in the Muslim-majority Kashmir region in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. No students or staff members of the school were hurt, but at least five Muslims died and more than 50 were injured as security officers opened fire at the mob to prevent the burning of the school.
Also, on Aug. 13 Muslims attempted to burn a CNI hospital in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district, but security forces managed to prevent it. In a separate incident the same day and in the same state, a mob vandalized the Catholic-run Good Shepherd High School in Pulwama district.
In a similar incident the same day, Muslims in Malerkotla town in northern Punjab state burned the furniture of a CNI church.
These incidents took place after the Quran was allegedly desecrated in the United States. Although Florida Pastor Terry Jones had withdrawn the threat to burn the Quran to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Iranian government-run news channel Press TV showed dubious clips of the Quran being torn in the US.
Kumar's family fears that the police will overlook the available clues indicating the role of local Muslims and instead claim that he committed suicide.
"No one who knew Kumar can believe that he could have committed suicide," said the relative. "Although he was psychologically unwell, he always faced life's problems boldly."
Kumar, the sole bread winner in the family, is survived by a 25-year-old wife and a 5-year-old daughter.
According to the 2001 Census, Jharkhand has a population of around 27 million, out of which 4.06 percent are Christian. Muslims account for close to 14 percent of the state's population.
Report from Compass Direct News
Assailants, still at large, abduct and threaten blind volunteer, associate and pregnant wife.
NEW DELHI, September 6 (CDN) — A visually impaired Christian and his friend accused drunken Buddhists of abducting and assaulting them last week after the blind volunteer distributed relief material in a Buddhist-majority town in a region of India devastated by recent floods.
The attackers are still at large after the assault on Wednesday (Sept .1) in the town of Leh in Jammu and Kashmir state's Ladakh region, where flooding and landslides destroyed hundreds of houses and killed around 200 people on Aug. 6.
The attackers, identified as members of the Ladakh Buddhist Association (LBA), one of the region's largest and most influential Non-Governmental Organizations, abducted Ram Kumar Thapa, Stanzin Chosphel and his pregnant wife Putali Sherpa because of their Christian faith and beat the men, the victims said.
Thapa, a blind music teacher in his 30s, was abducted from Mahabodhi Gate in Choglamsar area in Leh, where he was distributing relief material, at around 7 p.m. on Wednesday, according to the complaint he filed on Thursday (Sept. 2) with the Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission.
LBA members were upset that Thapa was preaching Christianity to displaced residents, according to his complaint. The Evangelical Fellowship of India Commission on Relief, a Christian relief agency, is rebuilding homes for the displaced people, mostly Buddhists, in the area.
"I was attacked physically by several unknown assailants before other witnesses nearby," Thapa stated in the complaint. "Then these men forced me into a vehicle and continued beating me all over my body as they spoke in Ladakhi to each other."
Thapa, from the eastern state of West Bengal, also stated that the Buddhists contemplated killing him. "They discussed whether to take my life or return to the 'office,'" he said.
The assailants took Thapa to the office of the LBA in Soma Monastery, where a Buddhist monk was also present, and beat him again, he stated. He was then moved to a room where he could hear the voice of his friend, Chosphel, with his pregnant wife.
Chosphel, a convert from Buddhism, is from Ladakh and his wife is from Nepal. The Buddhist assailants had taken them from their house in the Skalzaling area in Leh after Thapa, under pressure from the LBA members, identified them as his associates, according to the Christian victims.
The attackers showed Thapa's bruised and bleeding face to Chosphel to warn him against continuing as a Christian, Thapa stated. He was then taken back to the vehicle.
"They placed a gunny sack with a rope onto my lap and explained that this would be my last bed … [after] they throw me into the Indus River and see if a blind man can swim and save himself," Thapa stated. "I became terribly afraid, since I could smell alcohol on their breath as we sat in the vehicle."
Thapa begged that his life be spared "so I could see my wife, who must be worried since it was late now." The kidnappers replied, "Your wife will see you when she finds your body by the river bank," he stated.
Thapa and his wife, also visually impaired, teach and live at Mahabodhi Residential School for handicapped children.
Thapa stated that when he asked what they wanted from him, "they said I had to leave Ladakh with my family within two days or else they would kill me and my family. It was around 1 a.m. when they dropped me back to my house, bruised and trembling."
Thapa went to the Housing Colony Police Station on Thursday (Sept. 2) and found out that Chosphel also was there to file his complaint.
Chosphel confirmed that the "office" they were taken to belonged to the LBA. In his complaint to the commission, Chosphel said that around 15 "heavily drunken" men came to abduct him and his wife in their black Bolero, a mid-size SUV.
In the courtyard of the LBA facility, the Buddhists beat Chosphel before his wife, who pleaded for them to stop and asked why they were being assaulted.
"They threatened to beat her as well if she did not keep silent," Chosphel stated. "Then they dragged me into a room and gagged my mouth so I could not cry out as they beat me with rubber pipes and rods and fists continuously. All along they kept telling me to leave my wife and also renounce my faith in Christianity and return to Buddhism."
The men released the couple at around 12:30 a.m. after giving them two days to leave Leh or convert to Buddhism, Chosphel stated, "or else they will chop my wife into pieces and kill me and also kill my family … who are still practicing Buddhists."
The attackers also confiscated their mobile phones.
The victims told Compass that they were still facing a threat on their lives even after filing complaints with police.
Additional Superintendent of Police Stanzin Nurboo told Compass that no one had been arrested because the victims could not name the accused.
Chosphel and his wife, however, told Compass that they would be able to identify the attackers if they saw their faces; at press time, however, they said police had not contacted any of them to do so.
Religious conversion is a sensitive issue in Leh, which borders Pakistan and Tibet, as it is seen as an attack on its distinct religious and cultural identity.
Citing religious and cultural differences with the otherwise Muslim-majority Jammu and Kashmir state, some residents of Ladakh have been asking for union territory status for the region.
As a concession, the Ladakh region was bifurcated into Muslim-majority Kargil district and Buddhist-majority Leh district in 1979, and the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council was also created in 1995 to grant some autonomy to Leh and Kargil districts.
The government of Jammu and Kashmir continues to have responsibility for maintaining law and order and is in charge of the judicial system, communications and higher education.
Of the population of 117,232, over 80 percent of the people in Leh are Buddhist. Muslims make up around 15 percent of the population, Hindus 3 percent and Christians 0.2 percent.
Report from Compass Direct News
Stunned Christians suspect bias in case of politician's role in Orissa violence.
NEW DELHI, July 30 (CDN) — Less than a month after Orissa state legislator Manoj Pradhan was sentenced to seven years of prison for his part in anti-Christian mob violence in 2008, he was released on bail pending his appeal.
Along with fellow Hindu nationalist Prafulla Mallick, Pradhan on June 29 was convicted of causing grievous hurt and rioting in connection with the murder of a Christian, Parikhita Nayak. Justice B.P. Ray heard the petition on July 7, and the same day he granted Pradhan and Mallick bail conditional on posting bail bond of 20,000 rupees (US$430) each.
Pradhan and Mallick were released from jail on July 12 and await the outcome of an appeal to the Orissa High Court.
Attorney Bibhu Dutta Das said that ordinary people don't get bail so easily when convicted of such crimes, and he questioned how Pradhan could be granted release just for being a legislator.
"It takes years for convictions in High Court," Das told Compass. "We will not sit silent. We will challenge this bail order in the [New Delhi] Supreme Court very soon."
The Christian community expressed shock that someone sentenced to seven years in prison would get bail within seven days of applying for it.
"I am very disappointed with the judiciary system," said Nayak's widow, Kanaka Rekha Nayak, who along with her two daughters has been forced into hiding because of threats against her. "I went through several life threats, but still I took my daughters for hearings whenever I was called by the court, risking my daughters' lives – certainly not for this day."
In addition to the bail, the court has issued a stay order on the 5,000 rupee (US$107) fine imposed on Pradhan and Mallick. Attorney Das told Compass the decision was biased, as the Lower Court Record was not even consulted beforehand.
"This is the normal court procedure, and it was bypassed for Pradhan," he said. "The judgment was pre-determined."
Dibakar Parichha of the Cuttack-Bhubaneswar Catholic Archdiocese told Compass, "Sometimes the judicial system seems mockery to me. One court convicts him, and another one grants him bail."
The rulings are demoralizing to those who look toward the courts for justice, he said.
"There is a very powerful force behind this. It is not as simple as it looks," Parichha said.
Dr. John Dayal, secretary general of the All India Christian Council, said he was surprised by the orders.
"While it is a legal right for anybody to get bail, it is surprising that Pradhan was wanted in so many cases, and he can coerce and influence witnesses," Dayal said. "His petition should not have been granted."
The two Hindu nationalists were convicted by the Phulbani Fast Track Sessions Court I Judge Sobhan Kumar Das. Pradhan, member of the state Legislative Assembly (MLA) from G. Udayagiri, Kandhamal for the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), filed a petition stating that his name was not mentioned in the original First Information Report filed by Kanaka Rekha Nayak, but that he was dragged into the case later.
The bail order includes a warning to Pradhan to refrain from intimidating witnesses, stating, "The petitioner shall not threaten the witnesses examined."
Rekha Nayak, along with her daughters Lipsa Nayak (4 years old when her father was killed) and Amisha Nayak (then 2 years old) were eyewitnesses to the murder of her 31-year-old husband, a Dalit Christian from Tiangia, Budedipada, in Kandhamal district. He was murdered on Aug. 27, 2008.
Rev. Dr. Richard Howell, general secretary of the Evangelical Fellowship of India, urged the Christian community to keep hope.
"The case is still on, not that it has come to an end," he said. "There is a move that is being made to take the case further."
Attorney Das has said he plans to appeal Pradhan's sentence of seven years, in hopes of increasing it to life imprisonment.
Pradhan, who denies any wrongdoing, has been charged in 14 cases related to the August-September 2008 anti-Christian attacks. In seven of the cases he has been acquitted, he was convicted of "grievous hurt" in the Nayak case, and six more are pending against him.
Of the 14 cases in which he faces charges, seven involve murder; of those murder cases, he has been acquitted in three.
Cases have been filed against Pradhan for rioting, rioting with deadly weapons, unlawful assembly, causing disappearance of evidence of offense, murder, wrongfully restraining someone, wrongful confinement, mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to destroy houses, voluntarily causing grievous hurt and voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means.
Pradhan was also accused of setting fire to houses of people belonging to the minority Christian community.
The Times of India reported Pradhan as "one of the close disciples" of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP or World Hindu Council) leader Swami Laxamananda Saraswati, whose assassination on Aug. 23, 2008, touched off the anti-Christian violence in Kandhamal and other parts of Orissa.
Rekha Nayak filed a complaint and a case was registered against Mallick and others for murder, destroying evidence, rioting and unlawful assembly. Pradhan was arrested on Oct. 16, 2008, from Berhampur, and in December 2009 he obtained bail from the Orissa High Court.
Despite his role in the attacks, Pradhan – campaigning from jail – was the only BJP candidate elected from the G. Udayagiri constituency in the 2009 Assembly elections from Kandhamal district.
In recent court actions, Fast Track Court-II Additional Sessions Judge Chittaranjan Das on July 21 acquitted nine persons who had been arrested in the Tikabali area for various offenses, including arson, due to "lack of evidence." The main charge against them was torching of a church on Aug. 28, 2008 at Beladevi village.
At least 132 persons have been convicted in different cases related to the 2008 violence in Orissa's Kandhamal district, state Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said on July 19. Patnaik said that 24 members of the Hindu extremist Bajrang Dal (Youth Wing of World Hindu Council) and VHP have been arrested and jailed.
Revenue and Disaster Management minister S.N. Patro said on July 21 that the 55 Christian places of worship were damaged in Tikabali block; 44 in G. Udaygiri; 39 in Raikia; 34 in K. Nuagaon; 19 in Baliguda; 16 in Daringbadi; nine in Phulbani; six in Kotgarh; five in Tumudibandha; and one each in Phiringia and Chakapada blocks.
India Briefs: Recent Incidents of Persecution
Karnataka – Hindu extremists from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh accused a pastor in Aldur of forceful conversion on July 24 and threatened him, telling him not to preach about Jesus. The All India Christian Council reported that the extremists filed a police complaint against Pastor Anand Kumar of forceful conversion. Both police and extremists ordered Pastor Kumar to remove the cross and name plate of the church. At press time area Christians were taking steps to resolve the issue.
Jammu and Kashmir – The state's Foreigners Registration Officer reportedly issued a notice to a senior Christian worker to leave India by July 20 after a false complaint of forceful conversion was filed against him. The Global Council of Indian Christians reported that the state succumbed to pressure by Muslim extremists to deport Father Jim Borst, who has run Good Shepherd School in the Kashmir Valley since 1963. The school has been attacked on two occasions by members of other schools who felt they were unable to compete with it. For eight years these groups have led a campaign against Borst, claiming he was forcibly converting people under the guise of providing education. Borst, who denies the charge, has a valid visa till 2014. The interior minister reportedly said he had no knowledge of the deportation order, and Borst's superiors indicated he would not leave.
Madhya Pradesh – Hindutva (Hindu nationalist) extremists on July 18 disrupted Christian worship in Barwaha, near Indore. The Global Council of Indian Christians reported that Pastor Subash Chouhan of the Indian Evangelical Team was leading Sunday worship when the extremists stormed in on the terrified Christians. They accused Pastor Chouhan of forceful conversion, photographed the congregation and told the pastor to close his tailoring school, which includes non-Christian students. This is the second time Pastor Chouhan has been arrested on false charges of forceful conversion; previously he was jailed for three days. The case was pending at press time.
Punjab – Police arrested Christians on July 10 after Hindu nationalists beat them, falsely accusing them of forcible conversion in Gurdaspur. Members of the Indian Pentecostal Church of God (IPCG) Western Region were visiting houses in the area on a social outreach mission when a group of extremists began to argue with them and then started beating four of them with their fists and shoes. Later they handed the Christians over to police, along with three more Christian men and five Christian women, complaining that they were converting people from the Hindu religion. Pastor Promod Samuel, along with the IPCG head A.M. Samuel, rushed to the Gurdaspur City police station to help the Christians, but officers detained them as well. Samuel told Compass that the president of the Hindu extremist groups Shiva Sena and Bajrang Dal, as well as many other Hindu nationalist leaders, gathered at the police station clamoring for officers to file charges against the 14 Christians. Hearing of the arrests, Christian leaders of Gurdaspur requested their release. The Christians were not released until Samuel signed an agreement assuring that Christians would not enter any non-Christian home. "The extremists are continuously following us around, to keep a check on us." Samuel said.
Andhra Pradesh – Hindu extremists toppled a church building and attacked Christians on July 6 in Parawada, Visakhapatnam. The All India Christian Council (AICC) reported that local Hindu extremists were jealous and angry that a church stood at the entrance of the village and urged the Christians to move. The extremists threatened to attack the Christian community, claiming that they would allow no church in the area. When the church pastor refused to give in to their demand, they began damaging his household goods and pulled down the church building. The extremists also stopped the Christians from drawing water from a well. AICC was taking steps to resolve the matter at press time.
Madhya Pradesh – Police on July 4 arrested and charged two Christians under the state's controversial "anti-conversion" law at Jawahar Nadar, Adharthal. According to the Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC), a member of the Apostolic Christian Assembly, Shravan Kuman Dubey, invited Vishal Lal to lead a prayer service for his 6-year-old son Ravi's birthday. Around 7:30 p.m., during prayer, a mob of nearly 75 Hindu nationalist extremists accompanied by police entered the house and falsely accused those present of forced conversion, taking 14 Christians to the Adhartal police station. After nearly four hours, police charged Shravan Kumar and Vishal Lal with forcible conversion and sent the others home. With GCIC intervention, both were released on bail the next day.
Madhya Pradesh – Hindu extremists belonging to the Dharma Raksha Samithi (Religion Protection Council) on June 28 stopped a Christian school bus and questioned young elementary students in Indore. The Global Council of Indian Christians reported that the bus was carrying Christian students from Orissa to their school in Indore. The extremists ordered the young students to get out of the bus and asked them whether forceful conversion was taking place, frightening the schoolchildren as police remained mere spectators. After threatening to harm the Christians if they carried out any Christian activities, they let them go. Area Christian leaders condemned the incident as a sign of Hindu extremists' "reign of terror" in the state and demanded an investigation.
Karnataka – On June 13 in Anekal, Bangalore, Hindu extremists from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh beat a pastor whom they accused of forceful conversion. The Evangelical Fellowship of India reported that, in an apparently premeditated attack, an unidentified extremist telephoned Pastor Sam Joseph to come and pray for a sick person. The pastor agreed, only to be taken to a gathering of Hindu extremists with media people. The extremists accused the pastor of forceful conversion, beat him up and dragged him to Hebbagudi police station. Police released the pastor without charges after forcing him to agree that he would no longer lead Christian meetings.
Himachal Pradesh – State officials on June 5 sealed a Mission India building, claiming that it belongs to "outsiders," in Bari, Mandi district. The Evangelical Fellowship of India's (EFI) advocacy desk reported that the government closed the building, which functioned as a Bible study center and orphanage, claiming that no land in the area could be owned by non-native people. Pastor Sam Abraham told Compass that Mission India purchased the plot in 2005, constructed a building in 2007 and began using it as a Bible study center and orphanage in 2008. In July 2008, Hindu extremists filed a complaint against Mission India of forceful conversion and demanded the building be shut down. The extremists have since accused the Christians of forceful conversion, verbally abused them for their faith and threatened to kill them if they did not leave. Mission India officials asserted that the land legally belongs to them and that they have all necessary documents. At press time the Christians were looking for a place to rent that would accommodate at least 10 orphans.

With so many types of energy bars and different companies boasting about different abilities, it's pretty hard t know which type of energy bar is right for you. You can also end up spending a fortune on them hoping that it will help take your workouts to the next level.
Below are some tips and strategies to help you decide if energy bars are a good fit for your body and lifestyle.
Convenience. When you find yourself in a situation where it seems impossible to sit down and have a meal or you're on the road constantly an energy bar might be a hassle-free and somewhat nutritious snack.
Handy. They don't take up much space because they're compact and light which makes it that much easier to sneak one in your purse, pocket or in a small area of your car. If you do have them on hand they work great as a vitamin enriched emergency food for when you're stuck in a jam or feel a sense of hunger.
Support Pre-Exercise Eating. Having a nutritious snack before doing your workout is a great way to increase your stamina and endurance. You should also eliminate the illusion that the energy boost you get from the bar is not associated with any magical ingredients (chromium, amino acids) but rather from eating 200 to 300 calories. These calories in general (which usually have sugar) obviously fuel you better than the zero calories.
Promote Eating During Endurance Exercise. Having an energy bar is also a great way to boost stamina and endurance in long bouts of activity. Instead of just relying on the foods you put into your body before you exercise, you can safely consume an energy bar that has about 200-300 calories to keep you going.
State To Be "Easily" Digestible. The bottom line is that everyone's digestive system works in a different way. Before actually using an energy bar at a big event or workout, test it out first and see how your body responds to it. It's a game of trial and error but after a while you'll be able to get a good sense of what works with your body and what doesn't.
ENERGY BAR TIP: It's a good idea to drink plenty of water when you do have an energy bar. If not, the bar may just settle in your stomach and you'll get a huge feeling of discomfort, which happens because of the lack of water in the bar.
Last Longer With Fat. A higher fat content is said to help you burn fat and exercise a bit longer. I personally have not found any research that has backed this up (to date). But one possible benefit that you can get from including a little fat into your pre-exercise snack is that is may be able to provide you with sustained energy. Eating a little fat can provide longer lasting energy if you're doing an activity for more than 90 minutes, such as marathons or long distance bike rides.
Can Be Costly. You'll have to shell out anywhere from 2-4 bucks to buy most sports bars. So test them out before you find the one you like and the one that works well with your body before you buy them in bulk.
So those are a few tips to help stop the confusion when it comes to energy bars. And if you're looking for some high quality energy bars to include into your eating plans I highly recommend the Prograde Cravers – They're AWESOME!

Mum and 11-week-old baby told to leave 15-rated film at Vue Cinema in Cambridge because they were 'breaking the law'
Posted: May 14, 2014|
A Cambridge mum has been left outraged after she was evicted from a cinema screening because she had her 11-week-old baby with her.
Sam Ross, of Newmarket Road says she was told she was "breaking the law" while watching the trailers ahead of 15-rated comedy Bad Neighbours, at Vue Cinema in Cambridge last week, despite having already been sold tickets.
The 30-year-old said: "It was totally humiliating, we were escorted out. I was really looking forward to watching the movie and catching up with a friend. As a new parent I don't get out that often and it can be difficult to find things you can do with friends.
"We were told we were breaking the law and that it was a criminal offence. It felt like we were being discriminated against. It's never been a problem before."
Following a "long, infuriating" conversation with the manager, Mrs Ross and her friend were refunded the full price of their tickets, but the mum-of-two says she cannot understand the logic behind the decision due to the young age of her baby daughter.
She added: "At just 11-weeks-old she is totally oblivious to what's going on, she would have just gone off to sleep. It was a comedy not a violent film.
"If she was screaming and interrupting everyone I would totally understand and would never stay in the cinema, but she was completely fine. There were only six other people in the whole room."
Mrs Ross said she has been put off going to Vue Cinemas and that she should not have been sold the tickets in the first place.
Emilie Carrington, local editor at Mumsnet Cambridge says she can understand her frustration.
She said: "The cinema can be a great place for a new mum and a small baby as most tiny babies are unaffected by the noise and sleep throughout the film. It can feel great to get out of the house and do something 'grown up'.
"However, many Mumsnetters recommend going to screenings designated for mums with babies."
Entry to films is restricted by the classification given by the British Board of Film Classification.
The BBFC's website states: "Films classified U, PG or 12A, by the BBFC do not prevent a parent taking a very young infant into the cinema. For films classified 15 and 18, the BBFC's position has always been that admittance of very young infants is a matter for individual licensing authorities."
A spokesperson for Vue said Vue Entertainment permits babies to be admitted into U, PG and 12A certificate films only, in accordance with the BBFC regulations.
He added: "On this particular occasion the customer should have been advised that babies are not permitted into 15 certificate films and declined the sale. Vue Entertainment apologises for any inconvenience caused and we are taking steps to ensure it doesn't happen again in future."
Bad Neighbours is a 15 rated comedy about a young couple suffering from arrested development who are forced to live next to a fraternity house after the birth of their newborn baby.
Mrs Carrington, local editor at Mumsnet Cambridge, added: "We can understand the frustration felt by this mum - as an 11-week-old won't be affected by the film content - but ultimately the decision is with the cinema who must act within bounds of the law."
A spokesperson for Arts Picturehouse said: "We are required to refuse admission to anyone who is below the minimum age required by the relevant classification."
The Arts Picturehouse in Cambridge offers the Big Scream Club, exclusively for parents and guardians with babies under one-year-old.
What are the rules?
:: Arts Picturehouse
Babies under the age of one can go into screenings providing that: they sit on a lap for the entire screening (i.e. do not take up a seat); and they are removed from the auditorium should they cause disturbance to other customers; and the film is classified as U, PG or 12A.
The Big Scream Club, exclusively for parents and guardians with babies under one-year-old, runs on Wednesday at 11am, and a 'Kids Club' runs on Saturday at 11am.
:: Cineworld
Babies can be taken to morning or afternoon performances with a U, PG or 12A certification.
Babies are not allowed in '15' or '18' rated screenings.
Parent and child screenings are available, to find out more, visit: http://www.cineworld.co.uk/cinemas/cambridge/information.
:: Vue Cinemas
Babies can be admitted into U, PG and 12A certificate films only.

Re: I bought the Samsung HLT6187S 61" Slim LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV
I have been reading about a "prism effect" manfacturing-related problem with this model, an artifact seen in dark areas on high contrast scenes with this set - apparently not all sets are affected (though a seemingly large percentage are based on AVSFORUM posts), but if your set is affected it requires an expensive light engine swap-out repair (if not under warranty). Did you have this issue? It is apparently easiest seen in the 300 senate scene and looks like a prism/triangle of bluish/purple color.
I only know because I was/am interested in this set as well. One thing I'd like to know - try running it some 1080p/24 material and I'd like to know if the judder seen in 1080p60 is gone, as this is a 120hz set.
We're all in it together.

57 year old man | Raleigh, NC, USA | Seeking women 42-54
Music lover and cook looking for someone to share good times with and maybe more.
Describe myself and my match huh? Is this a trick question? As with anything, nothing is ever perfect. We would hold hands, enjoy life and music, have long and deep conversations about just anything that would come to mind. Spontaneity would be the spice of life. We would be adventurous and do things we never have before but always wanted to. So much more can be said, but I don't want write a book. Lets write one together.I have a passion for cooking and think one of the best evenings would be a great meal at home and then maybe a movie on the tele with our feet propped up and some good conversation while watching. I work in the communications industry as a construction manager. I do travel some up and down the east coast and actually enjoy the travel. The company I work for does installations and repairs on cell towers. I've been in construction most of my life but have to say this is the most unique and interesting industry I've ever been involved in. Not only what I do but the people I'm involved with on a daily basis. It takes a special kind of individual to climb 150 to 300 feet in the air and only have your harness and the safety lanyards to keep you from falling. I am a true Leo. What does that mean you may ask? That once I'm in a committed relationship I become very protective.I believe in the old school way of thinking I guess. Man is suppose to protect and defend the woman in his life. No cheating, lying, running around with the boys. That was for when I was 25. I think an old Cherokee Proverb Says it best " A woman's highest calling is to lead a man to the his soul so as to unite him with the Source. A man's highest calling is to protect woman so she may be free to walk the earth unharmed" I have been told I can be somewhat smothering at times. I have to be honest ladies. I know my faults and I continue to work on them. I also will not BS anyone to prop myself up to look good for you. I'm not perfect. In saying that, if your looking for the man with the big car, the big house, the big paycheck then I'm not him. I live for each day. I love what I do, I can pay my bills, and am self supportive. That being said and if your still reading. Other then cooking, my actual 1st passion is music. I've worked in the industry as a musician and behind the scenes on and off (while holding a regular job) for 25 years. I like most music except for maybe opera. That's probably because I've never really listened to it. How diverse am I you may ask. I have my I-phone on shuffle right now. I just listened to some Celtic music and the next song was Drowning Pool. Song after that? Brooks and Dunn. I don't smoke, I quit about 16 months ago. I do vapor with 0 nicotine content thou. Didn't quit smoking because I didn't like it. Was looking for maybe a healthier and better smelling alternative I love the outdoors, sports, (especially football, I'm a devoted Green Bay Packer fan), I love the Wolfpack and the Hurricanes. I actually like a lot of other sports but that's for another time. Maybe a conversation one night. Like I said I could sit here and write a book. If you want to know more, Contact me!

With the love of music that I have and also being involved in the industry, my favorite thing to do is going to see a live show. Whether it be at a venue like Walnut Creek or little place like the Pourhouse.

Yesterday, Football Outsiders took a look at the offensive linemen who have been most porous this season. In first place is Guy Whimper of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who's been filling in for the injured Blaine Gabbert. But take a look at second place: That's right, it's everyone's favorite right tackle: Wayne Hunter. The loss of Damien Woody and the lack of o-line depth has been incredibly painful this season, especially for Mark Sanchez's development.

May/June 2006 History 101 "The Vikings ...When you heard that during the Terrible Centuries, 800-1100, you ran for your life!...And with good reason! Ah, the Vikings! They're always a popular topic in the classroom. Now, they can be a popular category in your collection, as well, but you might want to know a little more about those big, cuddly, fun-loving Scandinavians. The classic Vikings came from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark during the 300 years from 800-1100. They were there before that, of course, but by 800 there was an overpopulation problem, and many were second, third, and fourth sons with no way of getting ahead in their society, because, under Viking inheritance customs, everything went to the older son. Added to that, especially in Norway and Sweden, there was a lack of available farm land. What to do? What to do? By the beginning of the Viking Age, or "Terrible Centuries", the Vikings were the best sailors and shipbuilders in the world. Thus, combining need with skill, the first recorded Viking raid was in 783, on a monastery on the English coast. Returning loaded down with plunder, one can well imagine how that set the example to other Vikings seeking to find fame and fortune. Interestingly, monasteries remained the favorite target of Vikings for the next three centuries, because they knew there wouldn't be any soldiers there and because Medieval monasteries were often used as vaults by local nobles. An example of a typical Viking raid was one that involved a Viking fleet of 62 ships that started from the Loire River in France in 859. A typical Viking ship was 70' long and 16' wide and carried 100 men. They looted the Spanish coast, entered the Mediterranean, pillaged villages along the N. African coast, burned the Italian city of Pisa, and went as far as Egypt before turning for home. By the time the fleet returned home in 862, 40 ships had been lost, but the survivors were set for life. Once the Vikings started raiding, they quickly established a reputation for terror, rape, and mayhem. Initially, at least, Viking raiders char- acteristically worked solely as individuals. Once a warrior's boots hit the beach, he was on his own. RMS Bulletin September/October 1996, No. 462 9 Whatever he could Are Coming!" bring back to the ship was counted as his. Backed up by their Norse religious beliefs that exalted the hero and promised immediate entrance into Valhalla for any who fell with a sword in his hand, these Vikings fought with complete abandon. They were called "berserkers", which is where we get the word "berserk." After taking over a village, weary raiders would sometimes kick back and relax, playing with the local children—tossing infants into the air and catching them on the ends of their spears! They had a number of interesting customs, in fact. Men commonly washed up in the morning from the same tub of water, going in turn by rank. Each would wash his face and hands and blow his nose in the water...and then pass the tub to the next man. Too gross? OK, about a little human sacrifice? Nothing on the scale of the Mayans, Aztecs or Incas, just occasionally. Oh yes, wives were expected to be killed and buried with their husbands. [I wonder if that went for ex-wives?...I just had a shiver go down my spine...locked up for eternity with my ex-wife!]. Amidst their watery wanderings, the Vikings made a number of discoveries and contributions in history. Most famous of these was the discovery of N. America, first by Biarni Heriulfson in 986, and then by Leif Ericson in 1001...both of these basically 500 years before Columbus. In 1960, Canadian park rangers discovered the remains of the New Foundland colony that Ericson had attempted to start (the Vikings were chased out by the Indians). Earlier, Leif's father, Eric the Red, had discovered Greenland c. 985. The Vikings also discovered Iceland; settled in Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, SE Britain, and Normandy; founded the city of Dublin; started the countries of Iceland and Russia; gave us words such as: 'Tuesday' (Tiw's D a y ) ,

Question on NVIDA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.12-pkg2 driver for the Quadro FX 1700 card

Question on NVIDA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.12-pkg2 driver for the Quadro FX 1700 card
We are currently using NVIDA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.12-pkg2 driver for our display servers which have Quadro FX 1500 card in it. Due to tech refresh, some of the display servers will have video card FX 1700. Is the above driver able to support both the FX 1500 and the FX 1700 cards?
We have dual monitors on our system. When the above driver is running on the system with the FX 1700 card, only one of the monitors displays the bootup messages when the server is booting up. The other monitor is just idling. On the system that has the FX 1500 card, both monitors display the same bootup messages on boot. Once the system has booted up (nvidia logo is displayed), the monitors on the each system display the same. So far, this is the only different behavior observed. Has anyone experienced problem of using the above driver with the Quadro FX 1700 card in a linux OS environment?

Questionable edits[edit]
I think these uncited anonymous changes are basically wrong, but I don't really know the topic well enough to say. The notion of calling, say a 19th century (or later) street singer a "minstrel" in any but a metaphoric sense seems wrong to me. I'd appreciate if someone who knows more about the history of music would weigh in. I'm going to tag it with {{expert}}. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, though googling certainly doesn't confirm it. Tuf-Kat 02:05, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- GOOGLE IS THE FINAL WORD ON EVERYTHING! Fuck Google, it's hardly the source of all knowledge. If you know something and Google doesn't say it then trust yourself and hunt out another source, if you've time... Anyway, a less offensive but likely equally unimportant point is that the same photo of a "modern-day troubadour" is being used for a "modern-day minstrel". Which is he meant to be? Given the distinction between the two that I had always assumed and that the Googling wonders of Wikipedia seem to confirm, he can hardly be both. Unless he's neither... (The argument from whoever posted the photo will be "But he's playing the same music". So what? The mediaeval minstrels played much of the same music as the mediaeval troubadours and there's a distinction.)184.108.40.206 23:17, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Since this mostly plausible massive uncited unwikified anonymous addition also removes external links and interwikis and sneaks in the words "butt sex", I'm going to guess that it is plagiarised from somewhere and is basically vandalism, so I am reverting. - Jmabel | Talk 03:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Ha! It was just rearranged paragraphs from this very article. - Jmabel | Talk 03:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Can we get a picture from a manuscript or something, instead of the pseudo-parodic RenFair fellow? Chubbles (talk) 01:47, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Agreed! An authentic historic depiction would be A Good Thing.
220.127.116.11 (talk) 18:24, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
also found in wind?[edit]
In the See also section there is a link to the Minstrel's Gallery article, followed by the parenthetical remark "(also found in wind)". The article link makes sense, but what does "also found in wind" mean? If someone knows what it's trying to say could they fix it to make it a little less cryptic? Otherwise I'll just take it out. Eleanorquantifier (talk) 20:29, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
COMPLETE REWRITE[edit]
It is my intention to completely rewrite the 'Minstrels' entry correcting many factual errors, including new information and removing sections or entries that are not related to what I understand to be an historical article about Minstrels. I feel reasonably qualified to do this because of my extensive reading on the subject. This revamp may take a while and the article may not be complete when you see it. I will post here to say when I have made all the changes I see fit. Happy to receive constructive comments about my changes Robynthehode (talk) 21:02, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Top 10 bizarre compensation claims
Live updates
- ITV Report
Five jail-break films prisoners can still watch
The government has banned prisoners from watching 18-rated movies, but they can still get their hands on some jail-break classics.Read the full story ›
Inmate movie ban to end 'easy life' prison boasts
The Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has said privileges that allow prisoners to boast about their "easy life" are "not right and cannot continue".
For too long the public has seen prisoners spending their days languishing in their cells watching TV, using illegal mobile phones to taunt their victims on Facebook or boasting about their supposedly easy life in prisons.
This is not right and it cannot continue.
The changes we have made to the incentive scheme are not just about taking TVs away from prisoners, they are about making them work towards their rehabilitation.
Prisoners banned from watching 18-rated films
Movies with a certificate 18 rating have been banned from jails in England and Wales as part of a clampdown on perks behind bars brought into force today.
Prisoners are to be banned from watching violent and sexually explicit films, such as Hostel and Reservoir Dogs, under changes to the Incentives and Earned Privileges (IEP) scheme.
Not allowing prisoners to vote 'sets bad example'
The failure to allow prisoners to vote sets a "very bad example" and will make the life of jail staff more difficult, the Chief Inspector of Prisons has warned.
Nick Hardwick admitted few prisoners were interested in taking part, but denying them the opportunity to vote would send out the wrong message:
"I think the judgment's been made and what would set a bad example would be if we said to prisoners 'We don't like that judgment, therefore we aren't going to do it'.
Mr Hardwick suggested there was an argument for withholding the vote from prisoners serving long sentences for "heinous" crimes, but to grant those serving shorter sentences the vote.
Cameron: Prisoner ruling a 'victory for common sense'
David Cameron has hailed the Supreme Court's ruling on prisoner voting as a "great victory for common sense".
The Supreme Court ruled that convicted murderers Peter Chester and George McGeoch were not entitled to vote while in prison.
The Supreme Court judgment on prisoner voting is a great victory for common sense.
Supreme Court dismisses prisoner vote appeal
Convicted murderers Peter Chester and George McGeoch have lost a Supreme Court battle today over the right to vote while in jail.
Prisoner vote idea makes PM feel 'physically ill'
David Cameron previously said the idea of giving prisoners the vote made him feel "physically ill".
The Supreme Court will today rule whether prisoners will have the right to vote in the next election.
Speaking in November 2010, Mr Cameron said: "It makes me physically ill to even contemplate giving the vote to anyone who is in prison. Frankly when people commit a crime and go to prison they should lose their rights including the right to vote."
However, the Attorney General Dominic Grieve has warned that it would be a "serious matter" if Britain defied the ruling and could lead to a significant amount of compensation having to be paid out.
Mother of victim blasts prisoner voting campaign
The sister of Peter Chester, one of the prisoners campaigning for the right to vote, said she "absolutely hates him" and "hopes he rots" in prison for murdering her daughter.
Chester raped and strangled his seven-year-old niece, Donna-Marie Gillbanks in 1977.
Supreme Court to rule on prisoners' right to vote
Prisoners will find out later today whether they will have the right to vote in the next election, as judges at the Supreme Court rule on a controversial case which says EU law allows inmates to vote.
Convicted murderers Peter Chester and George McGeoch, who were imprisoned separately both brought cases claiming EU law and treaties give them the right to vote.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has already told the UK to end the blanket ban on prisoners voting.
Last year the Government prepared a bill to allow some prisoners to vote, as it admitted there would have to be some change to the law.
However, the Government's two top legal advisors urged judges to rule against the cases and encouraged the court to "take its own course".
'Time is right' for prison smoking ban, document says
A document sent to senior prison staff and seen by The Times said:
You will no doubt be aware that the decision has been made that the time is right for the prison estate to adopt a tobacco and smoke-free policy to provide a smoke-free workplace/environment for our staff and prisoners.
It went on to say that the prisons involved in the pilot scheme would be selected from the South West.
The smoking ban introduced in England in 2007 restricted smoking in prisons but allowed inmates to light up in their cells.

Glory for Lansdowne's stock-picking strategy
The years that followed the credit crisis badly damaged the reputation of long/short hedge funds, whose volatility is now greater than macro hedge funds, traditionally viewed as the gunslingers of the sector. Lansdowne Partners, however, has weathered the storm far better than many of its peers by combining risk hedging with dedicated stock-picking, to generate steady returns since it launched in 2001.

High school football: Carl Albert's Gary Rose, Norman North's Wade Standley have truly guided teams to state title games
Over the last two months, the Timberwolves have constantly gained momentum, knocking off two Tulsa-area powers in the last two weeks to get to the finals.
Friday's title game is the tangible result of a mindset Standley began to instill the day he arrived in the spring of 2011.
"The first day he was here ... I came over after and introduced myself," senior Jaxon Uhles said. "He told me how it was going to be and I was ready to go right then. All the guys bought in from the first day he was here and ever since then, our motto has been 'All In.'
"We believe that and we do everything all in, not just football but in the classroom. He's brought that attitude to us, not just in football but in life."
Having coached under Bill Blankenship at Tulsa Union, Standley knows what a winning program looks like, and he'll try to take another giant step with the Timberwolves on Friday in a process that's been nearly two years in the making.
"It started from Day 1," Standley said. "We had a special group of young men that were very focused, very mature and very determined. From Day 1, they focused on getting better that first year and it's continued to this point."
