The best and most entertaining media day quotes from all 12 coaches
Media Days are highly anticipated events in the college football world where football fans across the nation have the chance hear what coaches and players have to say about the upcoming fall season and where they see the program going in the coming months.
During the interviews, coaches will answer questions ranging from simply "What does the team need to improve on?" to more difficult questions that deal with players getting in trouble over the offseason. And obviously their answers can be quite entertaining.
Here is a look at some of the best and most entertaining quotes from each Texas coach.
Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin on former quarterback Johnny Manziel: "No, that's a great question about the Cleveland Browns. Anybody else got something (laughter)?"
TCU's Coach Gary Patterson on the change in offensive philosophy: "I like Gatorade. When you have to beat people 17-13 drinking just water, you'd like to be able to go back and find out what the different Gatorades are and do everything, you know, for a few years, rose Bowl year and all that when you score a lot of points. For me, really, people say it's just a change in offense. I've been looking at it for two years. Truly a change in philosophy. You've got to look at every part of how you practice, how you do everything."
Baylor's Art Briles on the Bears being considered a Big 12 heavyweight: "So heavyweight, you know what I mean, I try to eat as healthy as possible, so I don't know about all that. But we certainly don't feel that way as a program."
Texas' Charlie Strong on using fear as a motivating factor: "I don't think I fear anyone. Just look at me. I don't think they get afraid of me at all. But when you talk about motivation, you always look at just different — just how can we get something to lean your hat on, where you get the players, where they understand just how important it is."
Texas Tech's Kliff Kingsbury when asked to give an opening statement about his team: "Let's just get to the questions."
SMU Coach June Jones on his controversial 'have-nots' comments: "Those were my personal thoughts. This conference has a chance and has the leadership and has the direction to be one of the five basically. I think that we've proven that really this year. Obviously through the next two to three years, there's going to be some more shake-out on that."
Houston's Tony Levine on the Cougars' renovated stadium: "It will be fun to be back on campus. I think when you talk about distraction of last year, if you will, playing off campus, I think you have to make sure when you're back on campus in a beautiful stadium, it doesn't become a distraction either, especially early."
North Texas' Dan McCarney on winning at home: "Take care of business at home. We were1-16 when I came in. Everyone liked to get a road win against North Texas, and now we are 12-5 since we have opened Apogee. There's a new era, new tradition, and now my players expect to win as well."
UTEP's Sean Kugler on his recruiting philosophy: "We've had to change our recruiting philosophy a little bit. We have gone outside the box when it comes to recruiting linemen. We've gone back east a little bit and some of the northern states to get some bigger sized and physical players. We still recruit in Texas; it's the main state in our recruiting philosophy. But we're not going to sit tight and think that's going to get it done for us — we have to go beyond those boundaries."
Rice Coach David Bailiff on opening the year at Notre Dame: ""Rice is paying my way, and I get a sideline pass," Bailiff joked. "Is this not a great world?"
UTSA Coach Larry Coker on his energy to keep coaching: "My energy is good. I think it's because I probably enjoy this as much as anything I've ever done. I'm surrounded by some really good coaches, some younger than I am, and that certainly helps. The players (also) energize me. If I'm tired, I like to get around them. They all bring a lot of energy to the table."
Texas State Coach Dennis Franchione on improving offensively: "One of the good things is that we have our quarterback back, Tyler Jones. He played last year as a true freshman, and he has what I call 'it'. We have a lot of returners, 91 career starts on the offensive line. We will be a little new at receiver, but I don't think we will drop off there. We weren't very good on offense last year so we have nowhere to go but up."

What is an Appeal?
An appeal is a formal request that a higher authority reexamine a decision of another body. Organic operations and certifying agents have the right to appeal decisions made by certifying agents or the National Organic Program. Additional information is provided below.
Who Reviews Appeals?
Appeals are reviewed by the Agricultural Marketing Service Administrator. The appeal file is prepared by the NOP Appeals Team, which consists of staff in USDAs Compliance and Analysis Program. The Compliance and Analysis Program is a separate Program from NOP, and not part of original certification or accreditation decisions. Therefore, appeals are independently reviewed in an unbiased manner.
How do I Appeal?
Organic Operations
. Operations are certified to the USDA organic standards by USDA-accredited certifying agents. A prospective operation may appeal a certifying agents decision to deny their organic certification. Certified operations may appeal a certifying agents proposal to suspend or revoke their organic certification due to a regulatory non-compliance. Non-compliances are typically identified by certifying agents or the National Organic Program during annual inspections or investigations of regulatory violation complaints. Information on how to appeal:
Overview & FAQs
Policy & Procedures
Certifying Agents
. Accreditation authorizes private, foreign, or State entities to certify farms or processing facilities to the USDA organic standards. A prospective certifying agent may appeal the National Organic Programs decision to deny accreditation. An accredited certifying agent may appeal the National Organic Programs proposal to suspend or revoke their accreditation due to regulatory non-compliance. Non-compliances are typically identified during initial or mid-term audits by the National Organic Program or the USDA Grading and Verification Division. Information on how to appeal:

What do some celebrities, a former president, and the Old Spice® guy have in common? They've switched to gluten-free diets. These days, you can't swing a grocery bag without hitting gluten-free pasta, cookies, and even beer. So what's the deal?
It seems that gluten is the latest dietary demon to make headlines. Madonna served gluten-free food at her 52nd birthday party. Gwyneth Paltrow writes about gluten-free recipes on her Web site. The White House pastry chef says former president Clinton is allergic to wheat flour. And Isaiah Mustafa—the Old Spice guy—says he gave up gluten to stay lean (in addition to working out with Tony Horton!).
Some people eliminate gluten in hopes of alleviating digestive issues like abdominal pain and bloating. Others claim going gluten-free helps them overcome fatigue. Still more people think it'll help them lose weight faster. If you're wondering whether you should go gluten-free, let's explore the subject a bit further.
What is gluten?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. It gives dough its elastic texture and acts as the "glue" that holds it together. It's also added to many processed foods. Some common sources of gluten are:
Could you be allergic to gluten?
Most people have no trouble eating foods that contain gluten. For those with celiac disease, however, gluten is a toxin that can damage the small intestine and lead to nutrient deficiencies. Symptoms of celiac disease include abdominal pain, gas, bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, itchy rashes, and unintended weight loss. Over time, people with untreated celiac disease can experience iron-deficiency anemia, decreased bone density, irritable bowel syndrome, infertility, and vitamin B12 deficiency, among other health problems.
According to the Celiac Disease Center at The University of Chicago, true celiac disease affects only about 1 percent of the population. Proper diagnosis requires a blood test and a biopsy of the small intestine. So what about all the other people who believe that gluten makes them sick? They may actually be gluten sensitive, which is a less severe but more common reaction. The symptoms are similar (abdominal pain, bloating, fatigue) but they go away quickly after cutting gluten out of your diet for a while, and there's no lasting intestinal damage.
Giving up gluten to lose weight
Some people swear that going gluten-free has helped them lose weight. But according to Dee Sandquist, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, their weight loss is probably a result of eating fewer calories. When people eliminate gluten, they're less likely to eat fast food and packaged foods and more likely to consume fresh fruits and vegetables. So in many cases, a healthier diet and lower calorie intake is likely the reason for the weight loss, not just giving up bread and cereal.
Here's something else to consider: If you give up gluten in hopes of losing weight, you may be putting your health at risk. Grains are excellent sources of B vitamins, fiber, folate, vitamin D, iron, zinc, and magnesium, and eliminating them completely can lead to nutritional deficiencies and possible illness. Gluten-free diets need to be carefully structured to make up for missing vitamins and nutrients.
The bottom line
If you've been diagnosed with celiac disease, it's very important to eliminate gluten from your diet. And if you think you're sensitive to gluten, you may want to cut back on grain-rich foods and see if you feel better. For the rest of us, however, gluten is a perfectly fine and healthy addition to a balanced diet. There's no reason to avoid it in moderation. So go ahead and eat your Wheaties® before your next P90X® or INSANITY® workout. Or better yet, drink Shakeology®. It's certified gluten-free!

Go to the Beachbody Chat Room.
Everyone loves a good villain. Be it Darth Vader, Bernard Madoff, or Cruella De Vil, we feel better when we have someone to collectively hate. The same holds true for nutrition. It's great to have one evil, toxic food out there to despise, because if we can avoid that food, all will be well in our world. Health, fitness, and longevity will fall into place, just like that.
Over the years, these supervillain foods have run the gamut from tomatoes to trans fat to all fats to peanuts to HFCS to MSG to carbohydrates. Sometimes the hatred is founded, but other times, the food in question is the victim of a pointless witch hunt, such as the evildoer du jour, grains. While they're probably not required eating, blaming America's rising levels of obesity, diabetes, and general malaise on a little cereal is like blaming the sinking of the Titanic on an ice cube someone dropped over the railing during happy hour on the promenade deck.
From what I can tell, this grain/cereal-based fear and loathing started in the Atkins™ "low-carb" years, when all things carbohydrate were determined to make you fat. Eventually, people started to figure out that you need carbs to survive, given they are the body's primary source of fuel, so low-carb programs such as the South Beach Diet®—and even Atkins—began putting emphasis on the reintroduction of fruits and vegetables into your eating plan.
But not so much with the grains. The superfood of the 1980s Pritikin era is today's toxic enemy number one. My guess is that there are two reasons for this. First, celiac disease and other forms of gluten intolerance—the body's unwillingness to process a certain kind of protein found in wheat, barley, and rye—had become a morning-show talking point. Second, paleo, or primal, diets had come into vogue. For those not in the know, paleo dieting stems from the theory that people should eat the way our hunter-gatherer ancestors did, which means mostly fruits, veggies, and meat, while avoiding agriculturally generated foods such as grains and dairy.
Although Atkins, gluten intolerance, and paleo dieting have all instilled the notion that grains are problem-causers with little nutritional value, I don't buy it. Grain just doesn't deserve the across-the-board vilification it's getting. In moderation, for most people, it's a healthy part of a balanced diet.
But before I explain my thinking, I want to make a few things clear.
With that in mind, let's get started.
What is grain?
For the purposes of this article, grains—or cereals—are the seeds of certain types of grasses. Better-known grains include wheat, barley, rice, oats, rye, and corn. In their whole form, they can be rich in vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates (including fiber), and, to some degree, protein. Whole wheat is a great source of manganese, tryptophan, magnesium, and fiber. Brown rice has all that plus selenium. Whole-grain oats add vitamin B1 and phosphorus to that list.
There are also studies, such as this one, in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (1) showing that "whole-grain consumption was associated with a modest reduced risk" of colorectal cancer. And at least seven different studies (2) also indicate that people who ate three servings of whole grains a day have a 20 to 30 percent lower risk of both cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes than those who ate less.
Presumably, the people in the "ate less" group consumed refined grains, which are bad news. To refine a grain, you strip it of its bran (the outer shell filled with fiber) and its germ (the little nubby thing inside filled with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants). You're left with a nutrient-poor blob of un-fiber-regulated carbohydrates. The most common forms of refined grain are white flour and white rice. Without the fiber to slow absorption, refined grains can create insulin spikes, which in turn lead to excess body fat and diabetes. This is why eating whole grains is crucial. People opposed to eating grains often jumble whole and refined products together in their arguments, so in your research, please keep in mind that there is a vast nutritional difference between the two. In fact, some scientists theorize that Western societies' prolonged use of refined grains, which are more gluten-dense than whole grains, could be the reason that celiac disease is on the rise. (3)
Why are these carbs so complex?
The main thing that separates grain from most fruit or veggies is that grain consists primarily of complex carbohydrates, whereas produce tends to be a combination of complex carbs and simple carbs.
Simple carbs, or sugars, are single molecules that break down into glucose (the body's primary fuel) quicker. Complex carbs are three or more simple carbs linked together, so the body needs to break them down into simple carbs before it converts them into glucose. The benefit of this is that complex carbs can provide more of an energy slow drip because they take longer to enter the system.
Other primarily-complex-carb-based foods include legumes and tubers such as potatoes and yams, but even if you skip those, complex carbs are nearly impossible to avoid. They tend to show up in most carb-based foods. In broccoli, 50 percent of the digestible carbs are complex. Even a medium-sized banana contains 10 grams of digestible complex carbs.
Blame it on the farmers?
One of the main criticisms anti-grainers have of grain is that humans didn't start eating the stuff until the Neolithic revolution. Their thinking is that we spent our first 190,000 years hunting and gathering (Whew!) and we've only been farming from the last 10,000 years. Therefore, our bodies aren't suited for grains.
The problem is, grinding stones recently discovered in Italy, Russia, and the Czech Republic suggest that humans have actually been eating bread for more like 30,000 years, which technically gave us another 20,000 to get used to it. (4) And even if you choose to discount this inconvenient discovery, the naughty farmer theory still suggests we should also avoid all tropic fruit, given humans probably only got to Polynesia about 40,000 years ago. Furthermore, penicillin and various other medicines pioneered in the last couple centuries are completely out of the question.
Also, as I previously stated, the parts of grains that we eat are seeds—and they're strikingly similar to legumes and nuts, which Homo sapiens have been snacking on for millennia. And the argument that humankind became weaker and more prone to disease at the advent of grain-based agriculture grossly oversimplifies the situation. People were also suddenly establishing permanent settlements, which is something they'd never done before, so there was a lot of trial and error going on, including reduced physical activity, a lack of knowledge of sanitation, and living in larger groups in close proximity to livestock, which is a far greater source of disease than barley—unless you convert it to beer, but that's another article.
But you still want to blame the seeds? Well, technically, you might have a point. Suddenly, humans had easy access to one food source but no knowledge of nutrition, so of course, they were going to eat too much of it. If apples and asparagus were as easy to grow and preserve as rice, wheat, and corn, we'd have eaten too much of those instead and still suffered from nutritional imbalances.
Pooh-poohing fiber
Many anti-grainers claim that the body doesn't really need as much fiber as you'd think, thus eliminating one of whole grain's primary draws. The problem is, they have nothing to base this theory on. One popular primal-eating blog points to this article in Science Daily entitled "Scientists Learn More About How Roughage Keeps You 'Regular.'" (5) He points out this quote: "When you eat high-fiber foods, they bang up against the cells lining the gastrointestinal tract, rupturing their outer covering. What we are saying is this banging and tearing increases the level of lubricating mucus. It's a good thing."
He then goes on to mock the scientist for claiming this is a "good thing," basically because he doesn't like the sound of it. Apparently, the fact that the breakdown of bodily tissue can occasionally be a good thing bothers this blogger. I wonder what he'd think if he found out that lifting weights actually tears down muscle tissue. Heaven forbid.
And if the tearing up of cell lining is categorically a bad thing, that means we'd have to cut out other high-fiber food as well, including avocados, legumes, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and that evilest of all evil veggies, broccoli. Arguments regarding soluble fiber versus insoluble fiber don't hold up either, considering you get a mixed bag of both kinds with the various fruits, vegetables, and grains out there.
If you're still not sold on the benefits of fiber, have a look at this reference list for a rather pro-fiber entry in the Oregon State University's Micronutrient Information Center (6). Good luck debating the relevance of 160 separate studies and scholarly papers.
Toxic shockers!
Another concern is that grains contain a number of toxins, including lectins and phytic acid. Let's have a look at these two.
Phytic acid is a form of phosphorus found in many seeds, including grains, legumes, and nuts. It can be an antinutrient in that it binds to some minerals and prevents absorption. If that were the entire story, I could see why phytic acid would be viewed as a serious threat—but it's not.
First off, there's not as much phytic acid in grains as there is in almonds, Brazil nuts, or tofu—all considered healthy foods in many anti-grain circles.
Second, there are a host of potential benefits to phytic acid. It's been shown to ward off osteoporosis. It's an antioxidant that has prevented cancer in animal tests. It's been shown to lower glucose response in diabetes patients.
Third, even if it were a serious threat, you have to have an incredibly nutrient-poor diet for the mineral-blocking to be an issue—like third-world poor. And phytic acid is neutralized by cooking, fermenting, or sprouting, so if it's really an issue for you, you can eliminate it—and still get the nutritional benefits—by buying sprouted-grain breads and cereals.
Lectins are sugar-binding proteins present on most things we eat. True, they're more prevalent in grains, legumes, and dairy, but they're also highly evident in foods from the nightshade family, including tomatoes and eggplant, so if you decide lectins are the reason you want to stop eating grains, you'll probably be eliminating a number of other foods.
Anti-grain types point to lectins as being toxic, and while this is true to some degree, I couldn't find a single solid study or theory that justifies wiping out grains to solve the problem.
One study that gets pointed to a lot is "Lectin-Based Food Poisoning: A New Mechanism of Protein Toxicity" in the online journal PLoS ONE (7). It confirms "Lectins potently inhibit plasma membrane repair, and hence are toxic to wounded cells. This represents a novel form of protein-based toxicity, one that, we propose, is the basis of plant lectin food poisoning." However, there are several different types of lectin and the thesis—as well as the execution—of this study centers around the notion that "certain improperly cooked vegetables" can cause the poisoning. It has nothing to do with grains.
Furthermore, although it's never been scientifically proven, it is generally accepted that the toxic nature of lectins is curbed by cooking them. And while I don't know many people who eat raw wheat, I know many people, primal eaters included, who chow down on lectin-heavy goodies such as raw nuts and tomatoes.
That said, in the same way people can have gluten intolerances, it's highly likely that they can have lectin intolerances, so it is something to consider if you have one of the dozens of symptoms some anti-lectin people pin to the protein, including obesity, schizophrenia, ADD, and pretty much anything else you want to throw at it.
The Kitchen Sink of Miscellaneous Villainy
But these aren't the only attacks made on grains. If there's a flaw in the human condition, inevitably, someone will blame wheat, corn, or rice. Usually, the attack is based on, well, I'm not sure what it's based on because relevant scientific research is a little thin when it comes to the evils of consuming a moderate amount of whole grains. However, when a study is cited, if you take the time to read it, you discover that it has nothing whatsoever to do with grains.
For example, one popular primal-eating Web site claims eating grains can cause "inflammation" and then points to an article in Science Daily titled, "Low-Carb Diet Reduces Inflammation and Blood Saturated Fat in Metabolic Syndrome." (8)
The title alone explains that this is a study about how low-carbohydrate diets help to reduce inflammation in obese people. I'm not sure how that means grains in a healthy body will cause inflammation. Just because one nutrient has therapeutic properties in certain situations doesn't mean another nutrient is toxic. That's not just bad science, it's stupid. Furthermore, if you do read the study (9), you'll see it was a 12-week program, not a lifetime nutritional plan, in which low-fat and low-carb diets were compared. And even though the low-carb diet provided a greater decrease of inflammation, the low-fat diet, which contained 56 percent carbs, decreased some inflammation as well. So how could carbs be the problem?
And there's no mention of grains—particular whole grains—whatsoever in the study.
There's also this report in Science Daily (10) about a study out of Sweden showing that type 2 diabetes patients showed more improvement on a paleo diet than a Mediterranean diet. That's great news for diabetes sufferers out there and, again, I think paleo eating can be perfectly healthy, but once you've abused your system to the point that you have type 2 diabetes or you're close to getting it, you're playing by a whole different set of nutritional rules. The carbohydrates that a fit, active person needs to push their exercise regime can, admittedly, wreck havoc with someone whose ability to process glucose properly has been shot to pieces.
Anti-grainers also point to this review article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition discussing "Low-carbohydrate nutrition and metabolism." (11) In truth, it does make some good points for lowering carb intake if you live a sedentary lifestyle. However, it makes no mention of grains and it features a large section on "Low-carbohydrate diets and exercise" in which it plainly states, "Therapeutic use of ketogenic (low carb) diets should not limit most forms of physical activity, with the caveat that anaerobic performance (i.e., weight lifting or sprinting) may be limited by lower-muscle glycogen concentrations."
If I were writing this article for the Couchbody Newsletter, I might let that slide, especially considering it says "therapeutic use," meaning "temporary and controlled use," but I'm not writing for a bunch of slackers. I'm writing for you, the ones who lift weights or run or jump around with Chalene Johnson or whatever else you do, so why on earth would I validate a way of eating that might limit your performance?
Americans got off to a bad start with grains. Lack of knowledge and an aggressive agriculture lobby arranged it so we ate too many of them in their worst possible form for too long. But we're better informed now and, as usual, moderation seems to be the shining path. Should you go through half a loaf of Wonder Bread® daily (or ever)? No. Is it okay to have a sandwich on sprouted rye for lunch and maybe a handful of Triscuits with hummus for a snack? Of course. It's important to do your own research and make your own nutritional choices, but just because you're doing that, it doesn't necessarily mean you always need to go against the grain.

"I really appreciated your indepth article on Gluten and grains. I have been recently diagnosed with gluten intolerance as well as candida. I am undergoing treatment for the candida and will remain on a strict diet for three months with no grains or sugar until the candida levels are balanced. My issue with grains centers around the genetically modified grains mostly wheat and corn. I would like to see more information on GMOs with this article."

"FYI I spent the first 60 years of my life battling digestive problems and chronic constipation.. which was made worse by Drs making me eat high fiber foods, like all bran. I have been on a gluten free diet for 3 years, with awesome results.I lost 33 lbs and 34 inches and feel better than I did 20 years ago. Many people suffer without knowing why. I'm thankful to finally have an answer to my health problems.In addition, grains and sugars promote the overgrowth of yeast,fungal infections."

"It gave our students the opportunity to connect with the officers as well as learn a great deal about character education. We love the program and as I talk with many of the children they have been very satisfied too."
Last Wednesday, 160 GES fifth-grade students graduated from the Georgia Sheriffs' Association, Inc. (GSA) Choosing Healthy Activity Methods Promoting Safety (CHAMPS) program.
The ceremony included certificates of appreciation for the participating students and three certificates for outstanding achievement for the winners of a CHAMPS essay contest. The winners, (first place) Lauren McKinsey Bloodworth, (second place) Corey Hunt, and (third place) Ty Downing, also received Wal-Mart gift cards.
The program was created in 2003 by the GSA at the prompting of Georgia sheriffs, for a health and safety educational program that could be taught in local schools. Its mission is to provide an educational program to youth, which will provide guidance, and the skills, ability and knowledge to be safe, healthy, and happy in preparation for a successful life. Sessions are taught by certified law enforcement officers from local sheriff's offices that have successfully completed instructor training.
CHAMPS instructor and school resource officer Sgt. Robbie Walker said, "This was a program that Sheriff Reese wanted to implement because he really felt that we needed this in our county. It is a program designed to teach fifth-grade students about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, as well as other hot topic safety issues such as ATVs and the internet. It is a program designed for safety and education. So this summer Deputy Boisey Hunt and I, who is also a school resource officer, enrolled in the class and we began teaching it this year. Gray Elementary School was the first school."
Using a PowerPoint presentation and student workbooks, the officers met with each class once a week for a 45-minute session to learn about topics such as the danger of drugs, bullying, gangs, peer pressure, tobacco, alcohol, and the choices and consequences involved. The program also includes a pretest to determine how much the students know and a post test to see how much they have learned.
Walker stated that the PowerPoint alone could be done in 10 minutes, but lessons are designed to encourage students to share experiences and not just sit there and be talked to. They also allow the officers to interact and tell their own stories so that together they can learn from those experiences.
He thought it was an important program for the children to be involved in because being in the fifth grade a lot of students are not yet educated on these topics. The officers wanted to make the children aware before anyone else did, by someone trained who has knowledge of the topics and its dangers versus their friends.
Leslie Poythress, GES assistant principal said, "The gentlemen with the sheriff's department have been great mentors to the children, offering them guidance and support. The children have learned a lot from it and their insight has just been incredible."
The course is being taught in 47 Georgia counties, and is currently being taught by Walker and Hunt at Dames Ferry Elementary. They will complete their lessons for this school year at Mattie Wells Elementary and plan to hold a graduation ceremony after every school group has completed the program. Next year, the instructors will begin again with the new fifth-grade classes at each school.

The true freshman's time was an NCAA regional qualifier and the ninth-best 1500 result in Cal Poly history.
UCI's award 2009 haul continued with the selection of Alisha Misiaita as the Women's Field Athlete of the Week. Misiaita, a junior from San Diego, Calif., won the shot put at the Cal-Nevada Championships Sunday with a lifetime-best mark of 51-09 (15.79m). She broke her own school record of 50-08 that she set a year ago.

Conversion 101
We Also Recommend
Becoming a Jew is not just a one-time declaration of faith but rather an evolutionary process that culminates in the adoption of a new cultural, national, and even historical identity. Conversion to Judaism requires serious study, active participation in Jewish holiday and lifecycle events, and, finally, a commitment to Jewish practice that is actualized by a rabbinically prescribed ritual.
About Conversion
Even the Talmudic rabbis understood that a transformation of such magnitude as conversion had to be motivated by sincere conviction, what they termed "for the sake of Heaven." In fact, the rabbis did not accept conversions to accommodate another's wishes or of to achieve social or economic gain. Many contemporary rabbis, however, allow conversions for the sake of marriage, holding that many such converts eventually evolve into sincere Jews.
Conversion History
The history of conversion reflects the treatment of Jews by surrounding cultures, moving between active proselytizing and passive acceptance of converts as the majority culture becomes more and less hospitable to Jews. In the biblical period outsiders joined the Israelite nation via assimilation; the beginning of formal conversion history awaited the evolution of the nationalist God of the Torah to the universal God of the prophets as well as the move from the sacrificial Temple cult to the portable religion of prayer and study developed by the rabbis.
With a God who could now be worshipped outside the land of Israel, the stage was set for a period of more active proselytizing that culminated in a Roman empire that was 10 percent Jewish by the beginning of the Christian era.
Later, when Christian and then Moslem authorities made conversion to Judaism illegal, Jews turned inward, focusing on careful observance of God's law and left the initiation of the conversion process to the potential converts themselves. The attitude of mistrust and even dissuasion of potential converts from this period became the Jewish "tradition" when enshrined in the medieval Jewish law codes. The emancipation set the stage for a reconsideration of the appropriate boundaries between Jews and non-Jews.

Sports Editor
ST. LOUIS – He rode down on a bus from Donora, Pennsylvania as a youngster fresh out of high school in 1938. Stan Musial was signed as a lefthanded pitcher and sent to Williamson, W.Va. to play in the old Coalfield League.
Musial, who was one of the greatest players in the history of baseball, died Saturday. He was 92 years old.
He played his first two seasons for the Williamson minor league team, which was an affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. Early on fans saw that Musial could hit and, in some of his early games, he also played right field.
Eventually he was sent to a minor league team in Florida where he became a full-time outfielder and later played some at first base for the Cardinals.
After moving quickly up the ladder in the St. Louis organization, Musial made his major league debut in 1941, just two seasons after playing in Williamson.
He ended up having a Hall of Fame career, winning seven batting titles. He was a humble man, known as a true gentleman.
He earned the nickname Stan "the Man" and became one of the best hitters in the history of baseball.
The Cardinals announced Musial's death in a news release and said he died at his home in Ladue, a St. Louis suburb, surrounded by family. The team said Musial's son-in-law, Dave Edmonds, informed the club of the slugger's death.
Two statues in his honor stand outside Busch Stadium in St. Louis. One just wouldn't do him justice. He was every bit the equal to MLB greats like Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio even without the bright lights of the big city.
Musial was a three-time MVP and helped the Cardinals capture three World Series championships in the 1940s.
He spent his entire 22-year career with the Cardinals and made the All-Star team 24 times, because baseball held two All-Star games each summer for a few seasons. He had been the longest-tenured living Hall of Famer.
A lefthanded hitter, he had a career .331 average with 475 home runs before retiring in 1963.
Widely considered the greatest Cardinals player ever, Musial was the first person in team history to have his number (6) retired.
At the suggestion of a pal, actor John Wayne, Musial carried around autographed cards of himself to give away. He enjoyed doing magic tricks for kids and was fond of pulling out a harmonica to entertain crowds with a favorite, "The Wabash Cannonball."
Scandal-free and eager to play every day, Musial struck a chord with fans throughout America's heartland and beyond. For much of his career, St. Louis was the most western outpost in the majors, and the Cardinals' vast radio network spread word about him in all directions.
Musial never struck out more than 50 times in a season. He led the NL in most every hitting category for at least one year, except homers. He hit a career-high 39 home runs in 1948, just falling one short of winning the Triple Crown.
In all, Musial held 55 records when he retired in 1963. Fittingly, the accolades on his bronze Hall of Fame plaque start off with this fact, rather than flowery prose - "Holds many National League records …"
He played nearly until his 43rd birthday, adding to his totals. He got a hit with his final swing, sending an RBI single past Cincinnati's rookie second baseman - that was Pete Rose, who ironically would break Musial's league hit record of 3,630 some 18 years later.
Of those hits, Musial got exactly 1,815 at home and exactly 1,815 on the road. He also finished with 1,951 RBIs and scored 1,949 runs.
All that balance despite a most unorthodox left-handed stance. Legs and knees close together, he would cock the bat near his ear and twist his body away from the pitcher. When the ball came, he uncoiled.
"I consciously memorized the speed at which every pitcher in the league threw his fastball, curve, and slider," Musial once said. "Then, I'd pick up the speed of the ball in the first 30 feet of its flight and knew how it would move once it had crossed the plate."
Musial made his major league debut late in 1941, the season that Williams batted .406 for the Boston Red Sox and DiMaggio hit in a record 56 straight games for the New York Yankees.
In his best year, 1948, he had four five-hit games and batted .376, best in the National League. He also led his league that year in runs scored (135), hits (230), total bases (429), doubles (46), and triples (18).
Musial never expressed regret or remorse that he didn't attract more attention than the cool DiMaggio or cantankerous Williams. Fact is, Musial was plenty familiar in every place he played.
Few could bring themselves to boo baseball's nicest superstar, not even the Brooklyn Dodgers crowds that helped give him his nickname, a sign of weary respect for his .359 batting average at Ebbets Field.
Like DiMaggio and Williams, Musial embodied a time when the greats stayed with one team. He joined the Cardinals during the last remnants of the Gas House Gang and stayed in St. Louis until Gibson and Curt Flood ushered in a new era of greatness.
The only year Musial missed with the Cardinals was 1945, when he was in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He was based in Pearl Harbor, assigned to a unit that helped with ship repair.
Musial was the NL MVP in 1943, 1946 and 1948, and was runner-up four other years. He enjoyed a career remarkably free of slumps, controversies or rivalries.
In 1954, he set a major league record with five home runs in a doubleheader against the New York Giants. He hit .300 or better in 16 consecutive seasons and hit a record six home runs in All-Star play, including a 12th-inning, game-winning homer in 1955.
In 1962, at age 41, he batted .330 and hit 19 home runs. In his final game, on Sept. 29, 1963, he had two hits at Busch Stadium against the Reds, and the Cardinals retired his uniform number.
Stan was a favorite in Cooperstown, from his harmonica rendition of 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' during Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies.
The Cardinals were dominant early in Musial's career. They beat DiMaggio and the Yankees in the 1942 World Series, lost to the Yankees the next year and defeated the St. Louis Browns in 1944. In 1946, the Cardinals beat Williams and the visiting Red Sox in Game 7 at Sportsman's Park.
Musial never played on another pennant winner after 1946. Yet even after the likes of Mays, Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron came to the majors, Musial remained among baseball's best.
The original Musial statue outside the new Busch Stadium is a popular meeting place before games and carries this inscription: "Here stands baseball's perfect warrior. Here stands baseball's perfect knight."
In 1958, he reached the 3,000-hit level and became the NL's first $100,000-a-year player. He never showed resentment over the multimillion dollar salaries of modern players. He thought they had more fun in his days.
"I enjoyed coming to the ballpark every day and I think we enjoyed the game," Musial said in a 1991 Associated Press interview. "We had a lot of train travel, so we had more time together. We socialized quite a bit and we'd go out after ballgames."
He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1969, his first year of eligibility.
"It was, you know, a dream come true," Musial once said. "I always wanted to be a ballplayer."
After retiring as a player, Musial served for years in the Cardinals' front office, including as general manager in 1967, when the Cardinals won the World Series.
In the 1970s, he occasionally played in Old-Timers' Day games and could still line the ball to the wall. He was a fixture for decades at the Cooperstown induction ceremonies and also was a member of the Hall's Veterans Committee. Often, after the Vets panel had voted, he'd pull out a harmonica conveniently located in his jacket pocket and lead the other members in a rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
The Cardinals said Musial is survived by his four children, Richard, Gerry, Janet and Jean, as well as 11 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Musial's wife died in May 2012.
A public visitation for baseball great Stan Musial will be Thursday at the Cathedral Basilica in St. Louis, with a funeral Mass on Saturday. Following the Mass, the funeral procession will travel to Busch Stadium, where the family will lay a wreath at the base of the Musial statue. After that, a private burial is planned.
One of the all-time greats has passed and will certainly have a place on the baseball team in heaven. And surely he took a little bit of Williamson, W.Va. with him.

Hi, ladies!
I was thinking of venturing up to Mobile next week for Hannah to see her brick at the RMH and to visit the NICU. There is also the CMN/ USA C&W Hospital radiothon next week and I was going to see if they need any help with that. Thanksgiving is also the anniversary of Hannah's due date...which is very emotional for me. She was still in the NICU on her actual due date. I like to go up to the hospital that time of year to give thanks :)
Just wondering if anyone wants to meet up for lunch or something? Leslie - I have tried emailing you at your work email but am not sure if I have the right one, or if you are still working there.
Take Care!!

You know that feeling when everything just feels right—the academics, the campus, the people. For Ball State students, that feeling goes something like this...
Ball State has what you're looking for—more than 180 bachelor's, associate, and preprofessional degree programs plus 122 master's, doctoral, and specialist programs in seven academic colleges. Best of all, you get the academic opportunities of a large university with manageable class sizes that make the experience more interactive and professors who actually teach your classes instead of handing them off to their assistants.
Ball State students don't hide in the back of the classroom. They dig in and get their hands dirty working side by side with other students, faculty, and community partners through a process we call immersive learning. Whether it's teleconferencing with a real business or writing and performing your own musical, you'll get plenty of opportunities to apply what you learn to real projects. Our faculty will encourage you to take intellectual and creative risks. And if questioning and exploring is really your thing, check out our Honors College, where you can really flex your academic muscle in special seminar-style classes.
No matter what you want to do, Ball State has the resources you need—television studios, computer labs, artist studios, an on-campus arboretum and greenhouse, a state-of-the-art music hall, a Digital Simulation Laboratory—to do it. And our vibrant campus is navigable and convenient. There's no need to rely on the city bus to get you to class on time or send postcards to friends who live across campus. Our campus and community are big enough that you can lose yourself in all of the opportunities and activities, but small enough so you won't get lost on your way to class.
If you're not quite sure if Ball State feels right, contact us for more information. Or better yet, come for a visit.

Yadkin County Sheriff's Office deputies on March 12 arrested Amanda Kay Combs, 30, and Jamie Lamont Wood, 40, both of Elkin, based on felony and misdemeanor warrants from Iredell County.
Jonesville Police Department and Wilkes County Sheriff's Office were attempting to locate Combs and Wood for questioning in an unrelated case when Yadkin County deputies located the pair at Welborn's Motel in Hamptonville, according to a sheriff's office release. Deputies spoke with Combs and Wood as the warrants were confirmed, the release said.
Numerous items of drug paraphernalia and evidence of prescription medication abuse were located in the couple's room.
Combs was arrested for four counts of obtaining property by false pretense and two counts of trafficking opium or heroin and was given a $20,000 secure bond with a March 27 court date in Statesville.
Wood was arrested for failure to appear and was given a $1,500 secure bond with a April 4 court date in Mooresville.
The investigation in Jonesville and Wilkes continues, and other charges are possible.

This course shows how to set up for the workflow, how to address cross-platform Mac and Windows issues when working in a mixed environment, how to work with remote writers and designers, and how to integrate with Microsoft Word. Exercise files are included with the course.
Hi! I'm Anne Marie Concepcion, and welcome to InDesign CS5 Collaborative Workflows with InCopy CS5. In the publishing world, the workflow between a designer and the editor has always been an important one. For publications created in InDesign, adding InCopy to the editor's toolbox empowers the editorial department and streamlines the publishing process. In this course, I'll show you how multiple users can access and edit the same layout from both InCopy and InDesign, editing not only text, but adjusting graphics and formatting as well.
I'll demonstrate the power of InCopy as a full-featured word processor, how it integrates with Microsoft Word, and even Adobe's own Buzzword, new in CS5. I'll explain the specific techniques that give production team members access to your documents, whether or not they're within the local network or only available by e-mail. Throughout the lessons, I'll be providing guidance based on my experience teaching InCopy and InDesign to hundreds of publishers, and communication departments around the world. I'll show you how to comfortably introduce, and get the most out of this great workflow for your design and editorial colleagues.

Beautiful wedding, no honeymoon
Bruce Arians did what every head coach is entitled to do, therefore he did nothing wrong.
The Arizona Cardinals did what every franchise should do, therefore they did nothing wrong.
Ray Horton is no longer the defensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals, therefore everyone is wrong.
Bruce Arians has been the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals for less than 24 hours and the honeymoon for GM Steve Keim and Arians is over before the press conference starts.
Arizona Sports 620 and ArizonaSports.com was the first and only media outlet to report before the interview of Bruce Arians that Ray Horton would not be retained as defensive coordinator if Arians earned the head coaching job. The report was 100% correct. The decision was 100% wrong.
It is wrong for any franchise to hire a head coach and then dictate to that head coach who his assistants will be. It shows the players the head coach isn't really in charge. The head coach and the retained assistants need to develop chemistry at best and make sure they aren't being back-stabbed at worst. Forcing assistants on to a head coach tells other potential head coaches of the future that the organization is cheap because it won't pay coaches under contract from the old regime to do nothing. Those assistants will be forced upon the new head coach where they are not wanted. The Cardinals did the right thing to allow Bruce Arians to bring in his own staff.
If Bruce Arians accepted the job despite being forced to keep certain assistants, he shows he's not convicted enough in his principles. It's easy to foreshadow a conviction-less coach's failure in the coming years. Arians was right to stand up for his passion. He clearly isn't a strong leader if he doesn't surround himself with people in which he believes.
Hiring someone who doesn't stand up for themselves is like your daughter's fianc�e agreeing to change HIS name. Sure, you're thrilled to see your last name live on for another generation but you have to question what kind of man your daughter has chosen to raise your grandchildren.
I support the hiring of Bruce Arians. It's a coup to be the last team to hire a coach in the 2012-13 carousel and get the most qualified assistant coach on the market.
He's the only coordinator who was actually a playoff "head coach", since it was Arians who led the Colts in Chuck Pagano's health-related absence. The Cardinals just hired the quarterback mentor to Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Andrew Luck. This should be a great day in the history of the Arizona Cardinals. Michael Bidwill and Steve Keim should be applauded for nailing the best candidate outside of Andy Reid.
So why doesn't it feel that way?
So why aren't I clapping?
The first major decision in the history of the Steve Keim/Bruce Arians regime appears so blind that it takes the wind out of the sails before the boat leaves the dock.
I can't get excited about the hire despite it being the right hire. A head coach told Ray Horton-- in no uncertain terms -- that he has a better defensive coordinator to bring in the fold. Sure, if that DC was Dick LeBeau or Monte Kiffin, I'd be telling Horton to suck it up and move on. Since that's not what is happening, I'm being asked to support a great decision immediately followed by a horrific decision, leaving me stuck in neutral.
Removing Ray Horton is no different than going for a fake punt from your own 10-yard line on the first fourth down of your head coaching career: IT BETTER WORK.

My dad bought us an ice cream maker when I was in grade school. I have only vague memories of us sitting on the driveway in front of the house, churning ice cream. I don't remember much about the ice cream itself; there may have been vanilla and peach, maybe strawberry. But I do remember the chocolate ice cream that came out of that maker. The flavor haunts me to this day, and, like a Pavlovian reflex, just pulling up the memory makes my mouth water. Maybe it was the rock salt that we had to pack around the central canister, but the chocolate ice cream, light and icy, had a salty undertone that I simply loved! I had always been a kid intrigued by unusual flavors and flavor combinations, eating peanut butter and bologna sandwiches, for example, so the hint of salt in the chocolate ice cream was the best thing that I've ever tasted!
JP and I went to Florida for six months after Clem was born and stayed with my mom. A bumpy ride it was; newly marrieds with new baby staying with family is rarely a very pretty sight, but we made some wonderful culinary discoveries – Paul Prudhomme and Cajun cuisine, for one – and brought back some wonderful kitchen tools. We had splurged, as poor as we were, on a small Donvier ice cream maker. We absolutely fell in love with this baby! The small silver canister sits in the freezer until you are ready to make your ice cream. Then pop the canister into the plastic container, screw on the lid and churn. By hand. We loved having dinner guests over, serving them a spicy Shrimp Creole or spicy breaded veal cutlet à la Prudhomme then whipping out our small hand-crank ice cream maker filled with coffee or chocolate cream and watching jaws drop or curiosity splash across astonished faces. We would all take turns gleefully grinding the handle, passing the Donvier around the table until the ice cream was ready to serve. On top of homemade cake, of course, in chocolate or lemon or a good old fashioned quatre-quarts.
Which brings me to this month's Daring Baker challenge. Now, this month has been more than hectic here in Crazy Junction. After a lazy month in Florida, we have been having a hard time catching up and getting back into the swing of things. I had only posted twice on my blog and once on Huffington Post during those four weeks away so the fingers were itching to clatter across the keyboard, yet the brain seems to still be on vacation or shrunken dramatically from the Florida heat and hours upon hours of mindless TV. I have so many pages open on my computer screen, bits and pieces of stories, thoughts and ideas waiting to be filled in as I root around in the closets and drawers looking high and low for my blogging mojo. And August is a slow month at the office so JP takes just a tad longer with me at lunch and is home earlier in the evening, dashing from room to room, teasing me to follow him, making me laugh with his silly jokes, imitations and antics. "Come away from the computer," he booms as his expression goes from smirk to iron eye. So his playtime becomes mine and two or five more posts get sidelined again. But August is such a wonderful time; the apartment is comfortable, the peaches and plums are out in abundance at the market, our favorite pizzeria is open for business and the streets are practically empty. Heaven!
For the first time, The Daring Bakers partnered with Sugar High Fridays for a co-event and Elissa of 17 and Baking was the gracious hostess of both. Using the theme of beurre noisette, or browned butter, Elissa chose to challenge Daring Bakers to make Brown Butter Pound Cake to be used in either a Baked Alaska or in Ice Cream Petit Fours. The sources for Elissa's challenge were Gourmet magazine and David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop. The challenge comprised many parts and many options. I made the Brown Butter Pound Cake, a recipe from Gourmet, and Vanilla Ice Cream, a recipe adopted from David's book. I used my own recipe for Chocolate Ganache using Lindt Excellence Dark Chocolate with Grilled Almonds and a splash of Amaretto. Since we are at the height of peach season and since I love them so and because I felt that this dessert needed something fruity to offset the vanilla cake and ice cream and offer a wonderful contrast to the dark chocolate drizzle, I caramelized peaches and raspberries in a dot of butter, a dusting of brown sugar and yet another splash of Amaretto. And I came up with an elegant, layered treat, smooth and creamy, cool and fruity. I also created my take on the Peach Melba: chunks of the Brown Butter Cake topped with a smooth, creamy scoop of perfect vanilla ice cream, topped with the caramelized peaches and raspberries then drizzled with the chocolate ganache and finished off with slivered almonds. Divine! Sweet and creamy, wonderfully fruity and all brought together in the loving embrace of a smooth, warm chocolate sauce.
I will also be sending my Peach Melba to Elissa for Sugar High Fridays, of course!
PEACH MELBA MY WAY – or -
Vanilla Ice Cream
1 cup (250 ml) whole milk
A pinch of salt
3/4 cup (165 g) sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise OR 2 teaspoons (10ml) pure vanilla extract
2 cups (500 ml) heavy (approx 35% butterfat) cream
5 large egg yolks
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Heat the milk, salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan until the liquid steams. Scrape out the seeds of the vanilla bean with a paring knife and add to the milk, along with the bean pod. Cover, remove from heat, and let infuse for an hour. (If you do not have a vanilla bean, simply heat the milk, salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan until the liquid steams, then let cool to room temperature.)
Set up an ice bath by placing a 2-quart (2 litre) bowl inside a large bowl partially filled with water and ice. Put a strainer on top of the smaller bowl and pour in the cream. (I did not have an ice bath)
In another bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks together. Reheat the milk in the medium saucepan until warmed, and then gradually pour ¼ cup warmed milk into the yolks, constantly whisking to keep the eggs from scrambling. Once the yolks are warmed, scrape the yolk and milk mixture back into the saucepan of warmed milk and cook over low heat. Stir constantly and scrape the bottom with a spatula until the mixture thickens into a custard which thinly coats the back of the spatula.
Strain the custard into the heavy cream and stir the mixture until cooled. Add the vanilla extract (1 tsp if you are using a vanilla bean; 3 teaspoons if you are not using a vanilla bean) and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, preferably overnight.
Once the mixture was cool enough, I poured it into a large plastic container and placed it in the freezer overnight.
Brown Butter Pound Cake
19 Tbs (275 g) unsalted (sweet) butter
2 cups (200 g) sifted cake flour (not self-rising; sift before measuring)
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup (110 g) packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup (75 g) granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 325°F/160°C and put a rack in the center. Butter, line with parchment and flour a 9"x9" (23cmx23cm) square pan or an equivalent round pan.
Place the butter in a 10-inch (25cm) skillet over medium heat. Brown the butter until the milk solids are a dark chocolate brown and the butter smells nutty. (Don't take your eyes off the butter in case it burns.) The butter will sizzle loudly for quite some time and it will begin turning brown when the sizzling stops. Pour into a shallow bowl and chill in the freezer until just congealed, 15-30 minutes.
Whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
Beat the brown butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until combined and then the vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture to the batter, blending on low speed until just combined.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a rubber spatula and rap the pan on the counter. Bake until the top of the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 - 30 minutes.
Cool in the pan 10 minutes. Run a knife along the edge and invert right side up onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Dark Chocolate Ganache
2.6 oz (75 g) good quality dark chocolate (I used Lindt Excellence semi-sweet with Grilled Almonds)
¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
2 tsps (10 g) unsalted butter
1 Tbs Amaretto
Coarsely chop the chocolate and place in a small heatproof bowl. Bring the butter and cream just to the boil to scald in a small saucepan. Pour the hot liquid over the chocolate and gently stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is combined and smooth. Continue to give the ganache an occasional, hearty stir with the spatula as it cools to room temperature and thickens a bit. You do not want this too warm or the ice cream will melt to quickly and you want it just thick enough that it stays on top of your dessert and doesn't simply run off and puddle on the plate, bringing fruit and ice cream with it!
