The boys and their parents made boats from plastic water bottles, shishkabob scewers and index cards that they raced in a two-lane blow-up version of raingutters. The only power was lung power supplied by the boys through straws strategically aimed at the sails.
Some boats skimmed quickly down the lanes, some capsized and sank, and others went in circles, but all had a good time.
There was also plenty of swimming and a hot dog cookout to complete the day's fun.

Life Around MHall
Art Guild
Art Guild is an organization open to any students (both art majors and non-art majors) who want to experience more art-related activities outside of regular classes. During the school year, we meet weekly to plan service projects, potlucks, hiking trips, and fundraising events such as the Annual Art Guild Christmas Sale where students and area artists sell their work. Art Guild makes a percentage from the sale of the work and then uses the money to go on a spring trip to the big city such as Denver or Minneapolis (see our trip photo gallery)! There is nothing like seeing real art in person. We also take in cultural sights, try local restaurants, and hike and photograph in national parks or scenic areas. We may visit graphic design firms and ad agencies in addition to fine arts sights.
Art Guild also does service projects to help in the community and in the world. Past projects have included gathering school supplies and t-shirts for children in Africa, collecting pillowcases to make dresses for girls overseas, and putting together jean pockets full of helpful goodies and encouraging notes for U.S. service personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In the past we have participated in campus activities such as the CSC Homecoming Bedsheet contest. Below is the "should have won first place" Art Guild bedsheet for Homecoming 2006.

Women's Basketball Beats Franciscan

STEUBENVILLE, OH – Riding Natalie Whitman's game high 24 points, the Hilbert women's basketball team grabbed their first win of the season in a 67-54 road conference game January 7. The Hawks (1-4, 1-10) had three players reach double figures while shooting a season best field goal percentage in their second game of the New Year. With the win, Hilbert moves to a four-way tie for 7th place in league standings.
Hilbert took the game's first lead 24 seconds into the contest, but Franciscan went on a 9-0 run to take their largest lead of the day at 17:45. When Sarah Lorusso laid a shot in at the buzzer, the Hawks took a 28-26 intermission advantage. After a back and forth battle, with both teams building momentum in the second half, Hilbert finally took hold of the game with 7:13 left and held on for the 13-point victory.
Hilbert's improved shooting percentage was the game changer as their 41% field goal percentage outshined Franciscan's 28.6%.
Whitman, in her second game for Hilbert, shot the game's best 10 for 16 from the floor to earn her season high scoring performance. Lorusso netted 13 points (5 assists) and Jenah Labuski chipped in 12 points (7 rebounds) for Hilbert. Huck Lacey led the Lady Barons with 16 points with a supportive 13 points from Hannah Flanagan. Amy O'Keefe led both squads with 11 rebounds (5 offensive).
Hilbert traveled to Altoona, PA after the game and will play at Penn State Altoona January 8 (4pm).
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone.

By Justin Skelnik
At the start of every hockey season, the Chicago Wolves roster is a group of individual players. Throughout the season, the individuals come together as a team, forming bonds that unify them almost like a family.
For Wolves defensemen Paul Postma and Noah Welch, last season's team bonding brought them a step further: the two are about to become actual family members, as Welch is engaged to wed Postma's sister, Alissa, this summer.
Postma played a big role in setting his older sister up with his defensive partner, even though he'd only known Welch a few weeks at the time.
"You meet a lot of friends playing hockey," Postma said. "But the guys you are going to introduce your sister to are few and far between."
"When I met Noah and got to know him after he came to the Wolves in December, I called up Alissa, who was coming into Chicago right before Christmas, and I told her that I have a guy for you to meet. If anything, you guys can just be friends, but I think you are going to like him."
With the Wolves on the road when Alissa was scheduled to arrive in Chicago, and Welch not traveling with the team due to an injury, he offered to pick her up at the airport. The two hung out that first day in Chicago and continued talking throughout the week.
"After Alissa got to Chicago, I asked Paul if I could take her on a date," Welch said. "If he said no, I would have respected his wishes, but he said yes. Even with his blessing, the date started off awkward because I still felt kind of weird about going on a date with Paul's sister.
"Alissa sensed that the date was going awkwardly and she came out and told me what Paul had said about me to her, so that took some pressure off. It was really nice and such a great compliment given to me by Paul."
As it turned out, Postma's matchmaking instincts were spot on. After a few months of dating, Welch proposed – but not before he got the blessing of his defensive partner.
"When I was thinking about proposing to Alissa, I called his dad first, then Paul, to ask permission," Welch said. "Paul had hands down the best reaction out of anyone. I wish I had a tape recorder because it was pretty funny. He was like a little kid. He couldn't stop laughing, then he was yelling with excitement, then kept laughing."
"I think my dad is more excited than I am, but I am pretty excited," Postma said. "Growing up is always a little different with just sisters. I mean I love them to death and I wouldn't change it for the world, but it will be nice to get another guy in the family."
Even though Alissa doesn't live in Chicago during the season, Welch is still getting a first-hand experience of living with a member of the Postma family. Welch and Postma share an apartment in the suburbs and both say they enjoy living together. Like any roommates, they still have quirks that get on each other's nerves from time to time.
"Paul likes to sleep a lot," Welch joked. "He is getting better this year, but if we have to leave our place at 8:45 a.m. to get to the rink at 9:15 a.m., he is up at the last possible moment - like 8:38 a.m. I like to get up and follow a routine. I have lived by myself the past few years, so it took some getting used to having someone else around. You can't just do want you want all the time when you have a roommate."
"My biggest pet peeve is that when I pick where we are going to go out to eat, he will shoot it down and make me feel embarrassed at the same time," Postma said. "I don't need to really watch my diet as much as he does. I can eat pretty much whatever I want and could lose weight while I am at it, so I don't think about my diet like he does. Also, when we are buying groceries, I will grab something and he will just look at me in disgust, which gets on my nerves, but I still buy it anyway."
The two share cleaning duties in the kitchen and common areas of their apartment, and Welch claims they spilt the cooking duties, but Postma is quick to quash that theory.
"Noah claims to be the better cook, but I don't know if he has cooked once this year," Postma said. "I have made supper quite a bit, but he does help out. Salad is usually his go to dish. We work well together at home."
The duo works well together on the ice, too. Since they were paired together as defensive partners last December, the two have yet to be broken up when both are in the lineup. Postma and Welch believe that they complement each other's playing styles.
"When Noah got into the lineup last year, we pretty much played together right from the start," Postma recalled. "I think our pair works because I am more of an offensive defenseman and he is more defensive. Every time I play with him, I learn more about being better in our own end."
On-ice skills aren't the only thing that Welch, 28, is helping Postma, 21, with on a daily basis. Welch, who is the youngest of four children, has always wanted to be a big brother to someone, and says he is enjoying mentoring his future brother-in-law.
"I couldn't have asked for a better situation to be in with Paul," Welch said. "I always wanted a little brother growing up - not that Paul is little by any means - but a younger brother that I can help out in life. I got two little sisters out of this deal too. I know I am blessed and I probably don't thank Paul enough for setting all this up."
"It is nice that I finally get to have that brother I never had," Postma added. "It is almost like we are family already. It will be official next summer, but it might as well be right now. Noah is always there for me when I need something and it is nice to have."
There is one thing in particular Postma is hoping his new older brother can help him out with:
"Paul constantly jokes with me that I have to return the favor," Welch said. "Every time we go out, I try my best to be a good wingman for him."
"I don't think it is too much to ask to return the favor," Postma laughed. "Hopefully, one day he can help me find the right girl."

As part of the agreement, the Jones County Board of Education will pay for any construction costs to connect the school to the water and sewer lines, including a new pump station, and will turn over ownership of the lines and three pump stations to the city. And it will put in writing its intention to give the city first right to acquire the property in the area of South Madison Street now used for the bus lot and shop when it moves the facility in a few years.
The reduced tap-on fee was the end of a long negotiation between the city and BOE. The original fee to be charged was $93,320.
School Superintendent William Mathews, negotiating for the BOE, had asked that the city waive the fee since the new school was replacing the old school and would not increase capacity for the water and sewer system, and because the BOE would pay all construction costs.
City council had first agreed to cut the fee to $50,000, then to $30,000, but Mathews continued to ask for the fee to be waived.

This is a gorgeous warm highlighting powder, I had been a proponent of NARS Copacabana cream highlighter but since I found Superb the Copa has definitely gotten less use. It does emphasize pores but I think that's a hazard of all shimmery highlighters in general, rather than a specific drawback of this product.
MAC Superb Extra Dimension Skinfinish ($29.00 for 0.31 oz.) is described as a "soft peach nude with multidimensional shimmer." It's a soft, medium champagne-shimmered peach-brown. It has a high-shine finish that's almost metallic, depending on how heavily you apply it. Guerlain Terra Inca is similar, more metallic. Bobbi Brown Beach is lighter. MAC Redhead is pinker. Bobbi Brown Rose Gold is a bit more frosted.

Center Johnny Pohl scored twice for Chicago (47-22-1-6), who lead the West Division by four points over the Texas Stars with four games remaining in the regular-season.
Houston (31-32-7-5) cracked the scoreboard first at 10:42 of the first period. Right wing Jean-Michel Daoust passed it to center Andy Hilbert in the slot, and he one-timed the shot over Wolves netminder Peter Mannino's shoulder, glove-side.
The Aeros made their lead two, 2:22 later in the period. Right wing Duncan Milroy passed the puck off to center Chad Rau, who was skating towards the crease and Rau redirected the puck, pulled it to his backhand and slipped it in behind the back of Mannino.
Mannino (24-4-1) turned aside 26 of the 30 shots he faced in the losing effort.
With a power play expiring, center Johnny Pohl put the Wolves on board, 4:05 into the second period. Defenseman Arturs Kulda took a shot from the boards, which ricocheted off Pohl in the crease and past Houston goaltender Darcy Kuemper.
Defenseman Jamie Fraser put the Aeros up by two once again with a four-on-four tally at 7:47 of the middle stanza. Open in the slot, defenseman Ryan Gunderson sent a pass across the zone, and Fraser one-timed it past Mannino, top-shelf on the near post.
Pohl notched his second goal of the game to bring the Wolves within one with four minutes left in the second period. Defenseman Ivan Vishnevskiy took a hard shot from the point, and Pohl picked up the rebound and backhanded the puck over Kuemper into an open net.
Kuemper (1-0-0) posted 23 saves in his first professional start.
Colton Gillies regained the two-goal lead for Houston 2:06 into the third period. Milroy shot the puck deep into their offensive zone and Mannino went to play the puck behind the net. The puck took a weird bounce and Milroy passed it out in front of the net where Gillies was there to slam it home into an open net.
Center Riley Holzapfel pulled the Wolves to within one with 19 seconds remaining in regulation. Right wing Joey Crabb took a shot from the goal line and Holzapfel picked up the rebound and wristed it home past a screened Kuemper.
The Wolves conclude their road trip when they take on the San Antonio Rampage at the AT&T Center tomorrow night at 7 p.m.

LUBBOCK, Texas - The College of Charleston brought its pitching arms and defense to the Lubbock Super Regional against Texas Tech.
The Cougars, unfortunately, left their bats back in the Lowcountry.
Texas Tech starter Dylan Dusek threw five strong innings and three Red Raiders relievers combined to shut out the College of Charleston, 1-0, for the second straight game Sunday afternoon before a standing-room-only crowd of 4,811 at Rip Griffin Park.
With the victory, the Red Raiders (45-19) swept the NCAA super regional series with the Cougars and advanced to the first College World Series in the program's history.
The Cougars failed to score in two games and managed just nine total hits over two days against the Red Raiders' pitching staff. The Cougars (44-19) also failed to win a game during a super regional for the second straight time. In 2006, the Cougars were beaten in two straight games by Georgia Tech.
But it wasn't for a lack of starting pitching. The Cougars' two starters - Taylor Clarke on Saturday and Bailey Ober on Sunday - were superb in back-to-back games. Clarke and Ober each lasted eight innings and gave up just one run to Texas Tech.
"Our starting pitching this weekend couldn't have been any better," said College of Charleston coach Monte Lee. "Taylor and Bailey both pitched great. They pitched well enough for us to win both games. We just couldn't get a hit when we needed it, and you've got to give Texas Tech credit there. We didn't execute in a couple of different situations when we had runners in scoring position, but Texas Tech had something to do with that."
After a shaky start, Ober (10-3) settled into a rhythm, retiring 12 of 14 batters he faced in the middle innings. Ober, a Freshman All-American, went eight innings and giving up just a single run and six hits to the Red Raiders.
"Bailey was phenomenal," Lee said. "He had to battle through some innings when the leadoff guy got on, but he worked through some of it and got out of a couple of jams."
The lack of offensive production from his lineup was difficult for Lee to understand. Getting shut out twice and managing just nine hits was even harder for Lee to swallow. The timely hits that pushed the Cougars during their six-game run through the Colonial Athletic Association tournament and Gainesville Regional were nowhere to be found in Texas.
"Hitters are streaky, and sometimes you're going to get those big hits," Lee said. "We just couldn't find a way to string a couple of hits together to get a run in."
Texas Tech coach Tim Tadlock almost felt sorry for the Cougars.
"The game was kind of cruel to the College of Charleston this weekend," Tadlock said. "I think we had something to do with that, but I thought College of Charleston had some good at-bats. They played really well in both games. Baseball is a game of failure."
The Red Raiders scored the game's only run when Tyler Neslony singled to start the fourth inning. Two batters later, designated hitter Adam Kirsch doubled down the right-field line to score Neslony and give the Red Raiders a 1-0 advantage.
The Cougars had their best chance to score in the seventh when pinch hitter Alex Pastorious singled to start the inning. He took second on a sacrifice bunt from Ryan Welke, and two batters later, Champ Rowland hit a line drive to shallow right-center field that appeared to be a sure hit.
However, Red Raiders center fielder Devon Conley came swooping in and made a spectacular diving catch to end the inning.
"That might have been the greatest catch I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of baseball games over the last 14 years," said Lee. "(Conley) covered a tremendous amount of ground and made a great catch in a huge moment for them. Champ made good contact, and against just about any other team that would have been a sure hit and we tie the game."
The Cougars had another chance to score in the sixth when Blake Butler and Brandon Murray singled to start the inning. But Red Raiders reliever Cameron Smith got Carl Wise to fly out to center and then struck out Nick Pappas and Brandon Glazer to end the threat.
"We just couldn't come up that big hit when we needed it," Lee said. "They made some great defensive plays and their pitching was really good in both ball games."

Part of the planning for the 2014 season of Mocs Football at Finley Stadium revolves around tailgating. One of the most frequent questions fans ask is, "How can I reserve a tailgating space in the First Tennessee Pavilion?"
Prior to the 2010 season, access to the First Tennessee Pavilion was operated on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, the demand for tailgating in the Pavilion has risen to a level that requires a modification to that approach. The UTC Athletics department has put together a new tailgating package that will allow fans to secure a Pavilion space for the entire year.
First, fans wanting to purchase a space for the season must be a member of the UTC Mocs Club at the All-American Moc Level ($300 and above). If you are already at that level for the 2014-15 season, then you are set. If you are not there yet, or have not renewed your membership, now is the time to join.
Second, there are there are two options available for your consideration when purchasing a space for the entire season:
1. $600 per space - Includes tailgating location for all six home games, cable television connection, electricity, trash cans, nearby restrooms, cover from the elements, opportunity to purchase catering from Family Concessions and discounted group tickets.
2. $900 per space - Includes all of the benefits listed above for all six home games with two tables and ten chairs setup in your designated location prior to each home football game.
Pavilion spots are also available on a single-game basis. The cost of a tailgating space in the Pavilion for one game is $450 per space/per game for non-UTC Mocs Club members or $150 per space/per game to UTC Mocs Club Members at the All-American Moc level.
Fans interested in purchasing a tailgating space in the First Tennessee Pavilion should contact UTC Mocs Club Assistant Director Joe Levine at (423) 425-4233 or email@example.com.
Listed below are some Frequently Asked Questions surrounding tailgating in the First Tennessee Pavilion. There are a limited number of spaces available, so be sure to contact Erika before they are all sold out.
I am not a member of the UTC Mocs Club at the All-American Moc level ($300). What do I need to do?
Contact Joe Levine (423) 425-4233 (email@example.com) - with the UTC Mocs Club to discuss becoming a Starter Moc. This is the minimum level you need to reach to purchase a tailgating space.
Can two or more UTC Mocs Club members combine their donation levels to receive higher priority when selecting a Pavilion space?
Tailgating spaces are sold to individual UTC Mocs Club members. We encourage fans to join together to share the cost of a Pavilion spot. However, the donation level is still based on one single UTC Mocs Club member.
Will we be allowed to park our car in the Pavilion space?
Passes will be issued for each space for access to unload vehicles in the Pavilion. As a safety precaution, all vehicles will need to be cleared from inside the Pavilion at least three hours before kickoff.
As an All-American Moc, you will receive one space in the lot directly adjacent to the First Tennessee Pavilion if selected using the Prioirty Point System. By purchasing a season-long tailgating spot, you will be given an additional pass to the Pavilion lot and five (5) drop-off passess. Those using drop-off passes may drop off tailgating items but have to remove theis cars from the Pavilion lot three hours prior to kickoff.
Is there a limit on the number of people we can bring to our Pavilion space?
You can bring as many people that will fit in your designated Pavilion space. The more the merrier! Each tailgating space is approximately 19' x 29'.
Can I purchase food for my Pavilion space?
Family Concessions provides excellent tailgating selections for groups of all sizes. Call (423) 635-8038 to inquire about the menu and place an order.
Do I have to purchase food from Family Concessions?
We encourage the full tailgating experience in the First Tennessee Pavilion, so fans are allowed to bring in their own food. Grills are also allowed to prepare food on site. However, Family Concessions is an excellent alternative if you want to have your food prepared for you.
Are tickets to the game included in the cost of the Pavilion space?
Tickets are not included in the cost of the Pavilion space, so be sure to renew your season tickets now. Fans can also contact Geoff Wilcox at (423) 425-2257 or firstname.lastname@example.com for discounted group tickets to individual games.
Are there other areas available for tailgating around the Pavilion?
All parking lots and grassy areas around Finley Stadium are still available for tailgating. Fans are also welcome to visit the 'Party in the Pavilion' that is filled with inflatables, televisions, tailgating games, face painting and the 'Moc Walk' before the game.
Can I purchase a space for just one game?
YES! Spaces are available for purchase on August 15. The cost of the space on a single-game basis is $450 per space/per game for non-UTC Mocs Club members or $150 per space/per game to UTC Mocs Club Members at the All-American Moc level.
Whom do I contact to request a space for the Pavilion?
Call Joe Levine at (423) 425-4233 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. The UTC Athletics Department is looking forward to providing Mocs fans the best tailgating experience in the Southern Conference.

Parents ask me all the time if I know of a good book to read to their child's class that explains Down syndrome . . . here is my new advice - FORGET THE BOOK!!!!! Insist that this...(film)...be shown to your child's class or your child's grade - heck, your child's entire school needs to see..!!!

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Land of Israel is a special, sacred place for those who believe in the Bible. Like the ingathering of the Jewish people into the land of Israel, the restoration of the land itself is the unfolding of prophecy.
When Israel's restoration began, the land was largely barren. Today it is fully of lush green forests lovingly planted by the Jewish National Fund. There is still much work to do. What better way to participate in the restoration of the Land of Israel than by planting a tree.
Partner with the JNF to complete the reforestation of the Promised Land.
The Israel Nature and Parks Authority has announced the finding of a rare species of toad, the Syrian spadefoot, in a pool near Kibbutz Ga'ash on the coastal plain. This species, known to experts as Pelobates syriacus, has not been seen in the region for nearly 25 years and its return has been attributed to improved ecological conditions.

Speaking with several Club Managers and Ice makers about this article http://communities.canada.com/calgaryherald/blogs/curling/archive/2010/09/09/canadian-olympic-broom-technology-to-finally-be-unveiled.aspx
They all seem very concerned because the ice is already flattening out late in games. This was obviously a concern for the men's Olympic team who chose not to use the new pads. It was fine for the ladies Olympic team because only one team was using the new pad. However, if both teams had been using the new pads we would likely have seen flat and unpredictable ice in the latter part of the game. A lot of those exciting late game shots simply could not have been called, let alone made - which in my opinion would suck the life out the game we all love.
What already happens at competitive levels is that the pebble is broken down in early and middle ends. Teams resort to less aggressive hair brushes in late ends so as to keep some pebble and therefore some predictability to the ice. Do we really want this at club level play? Essentially destroying the pebble and then resorting back to hair. Those of us who came through the hair era remember all too well the rocks lost to a hair on the ice.
There are a lot of aggressive materials that would likely be more effective in melting and wearing the pebble than the cordura fabric currently used. However they simple destroy the ice surface too quickly and undermine play. The trickery used by the Canadian women may have offered a slight advantage at that event, however widespread adoption will be a nightmare for icemakers and ultimately diminish the enjoyment of both playing and watching the game.
Like the ultra-curved hockey stick and the weighted boxing gloves, where personal advantage compromises the game, then we all have to say "no thanks"
What are your thoughts?

Ecclesiastes, Education, and the Pursuit of Meaning
If you read Ecclesiastes carefully, Solomon is not saying that knowledge and learning are bad; he's saying they're incomplete.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
If you read Ecclesiastes carefully, Solomon is not saying that knowledge and learning are bad; he's saying they're incomplete.
The history of interpretation of Adam from Genesis to the 1st Century reveals a bold and astonishing diversity in which the authors made of Adam what they needed of Adam.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Some of the Christian objections to evolutionary creation come from a misunderstanding of what the Bible means when it says "God created".
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
"Such a paradigm will enable joyful Christ-followers to be wholly engaged in being the presence of hope in our glorious—yet broken—world."
It's eminently easy "in God's name" to demand things of people as a pre-requirement for acceptance by God—things which Christ himself never demanded.
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. "Off with his head!" she said, without even looking round
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Since the sermon is the main component used to build the congregation's collective approach to understanding how the church relates to the world, I want to take a few moments to lay out what has worked in my preaching and what has not when it comes to science, and more specifically, the subject of evolution.
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
In today's video, Michael Ramsden discusses the importance and meaning of mystery in the Bible.

My past few New Year's Eves have been really, well, not the best way to start the new year. But sorry to argue with Bono and U2–this year something changed on New Year's Day!
SURPRISE! Like always, New Year's Eve companionship (when I had it, because sometimes I escaped parties early and stayed with the dogs, may they rest in peace, so they wouldn't freak out over gunfire) was excellent; but this year somehow got off to a more optimistic start and has stayed that way. Men revealed themselves to be gentlemen, as opposed to men who were uncovered as lying cads (those new years holiday 2005/2006 and 2009/10 sucked); women were kind and more beautiful than ever. Plus there was a high speed chase through the Valley televised around 9:30 as I rested at home after six-course dinner (amuse-bouche; oysters with caviar and champagne foam or truffled eggs for appetizer; followed by the temptation of either house smoked/cured sea trout or the best steak tartare I've ever tasted; a choice of butter poached lobster or prime New York strip; and to finish either cheese or chocolate pots de creme. yes, I went chocolate. (Best of all, my friend Skip was cooking along with Chef Tim at Papilles, which is my local dining hall, so it was pretty cool).
Skip's wife Stacy runs a company called Iconic PinUps, and I boldly had her and her partner Carol shoot me as a pin up girl for my Krampus gift to myself (To offset the meals at Papilles, I now work out 3-5 days a week, and now have three part time jobs as opposed to one, so maybe the whole Obama economic recovery thing is actually working!).
I overheard the best thing last night as I waited for my dude roommate Mark Ebner to pick me up after my return to Papilles for the New Year's Eve toast. A couple walked by me outside and the guy said:
And then she tore the bow tie off my face and I was 'What the fuck?!'
Uh, maybe you shouldn't wear a bow tie on your face?
It got weirder in England where:
A spokesman for Norfolk Constabulary said: "Police are seeking a group of four people, two of whom were dressed as Oompa Loompas, who attacked a male on a night-out.
"Two of the males were dressed as Oompa Loompas from Charlie And The Chocolate Factory with painted orange faces and dyed green hair and were wearing hooped tops."
The spokesman added: "One of the males in the group then pushed the victim to the floor before he got up.
"He was then hit on the head, fell to the floor and hit again."
Ahhh, when Ooompa Loompas attack….
I always make Hopping' John, black-eyed peas (coins) with greens (folding money); other friends have pancake breakfasts (pancakes being "gold coins"). Here are some other New Years Day superstitions. Do you have any?
I just feel this is going to be a good year, and hope you all feel the same way. And that we're correct in our beliefs!
Best of all, look at what 2013 backwards spells…

If you have dreamed of becoming a grease monkey, repair cars or just making it more of a hobby, then you do need to equip yourself. Be sure you have bombarded your brain with the right information before you go hands on and start touching the engine, repairing it, and making a car run. As the old saying goes, "knowledge is power". So, it is. The more knowledge you have, the more you will become an effective auto mechanic.
One thing you should remember before you get all the books on automotive or going online reading one article from the other, learning the basics is very important. The fundamentals are what makes you have a strong foundation on automotive. With this, you need not to worry about complicated stuff and the what not, etc.
Always remember a car is still a car regardless of what size it is, whether it uses diesel or gasoline, or whether it is a BMW or Toyota. It does not matter, it is still a car with four wheels with a steering wheel. Knowing what comprises a car (general sense) is what matters. When you have a grasp of that the next step of learning is very easy.
An automotive basic you should spend hours and countless of hours to study and learn is the engine. You need to know the different parts of the engine, what they look like, and their uses. This will give you a clear picture of what an engine does and if a problem occurs in the future you can spot it dead on. Be able to repair the car faster and more accurate.
Be sure you give your heart out in learning about the engine. This is one fundamental you should not miss and be taken seriously. When you do, you will be rewarded by becoming a knowledgeable auto mechanic and can repair any engine problem. Of course, you need to keep on practicing on how to repair an engine before you get hold of it.
Now, that you have an idea as to what automotive basic you should be learning first. The next thing you need to do is to search for resources which you can make use of or ask for help from an auto mechanic through one-on-one coaching. This will save you the time of looking for materials to read and learning will be a bit faster compared to DIY.

text: Welcome to The War Room. I'll begin this session with the ground rules. Everything that is reported in the War Room must stay in the War Room. That's the way this deal works. Sometimes the info is sensitive enough that it simply doesn't need to be passed outside the Tribal Council. This is a special feature for subscribers only. The reason why it is posted on the premium board is because it's the only way to ensure that the info stays is exclusive to Seminole Nation. That means not to post on the Rivals national message board or any message board outside of the Tribal Council. This will only work if everyone helps make it work. Additional Note: Everything noted in this War Room comes from a reliable source but keep in mind that if we had it confirmed or if we had people go on the record it would be reported on our front page and not confined to the Tribal Council message board. That being said, what's in this War Room is more than just a rumor but it's not quite solid enough to be reported as fact. However, because we want to let our readers know what we are hearing we want to pass it along. Just keep in mind that we aren't trying to make a name for ourselves like the dozens of bloggers and Twitter folks that float every crazy rumor that comes around.Defensive coordinator Update (6pm)Heard from somebody close to Ellis Johnson (former South Carolina DC and former Southern Miss head coach) that he spoke with Jimbo Fisher over the past couple days. I've also been told that Johnson has a new position "locked up" but whether that position is the DC job at FSU remains to be seen. It's probably safe to say that Johnson is likely on Fisher's short list of candidates for the DC opening. Again, we expect something to come down regarding FSU's DC position pretty soon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Georgia Tech - Staying in the ACC or leaving for the Big 10? For a couple weeks now rumors have been running rampant that Georgia Tech might be leaving the ACC for the Big 10, and that it could happen quickly. We mentioned in the last War Room that we have heard the same Georgia Tech rumblings and that they appeared to have more substance than your garden variety conference expansion/realignment rumors that dominate Twitter, message boards and fan blogs. Over this past weekend Georgia Tech flatly denied the rumors. "There is no truth to the rumors," Tech spokesman Matt Nagel told the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Acting athletic director Paul Griffin also told the AJC there has been "no communication (with the Big Ten), nor does he expect any." Sorry, but not buying it. We heard over the weekend and again on Monday from a source within Georgia Tech that the Big 10 has in fact extended an informal offer for the Yellow Jackets to join. Not only is there an offer but Georgia Tech is apparently on the verge of accepting. Like Maryland, Georgia Tech's athletic department is experiencing some financial shortcomings and see the Big 10 as a way to resolve many of these problems. Furthermore, Tech has reportedly been in contact with John Swofford and other conference officials to see if there is anything they can offer to convince them to stay in the ACC. While most signs point to something happening fairly quickly, it's impossible to put any kind of time line on when it might go down. It's possible that if the Big 10 is willing to wait, Georgia Tech will want to see how the lawsuit over Maryland's conference exit fee plays out before making a final decision. If Tech leaves what does that mean for the ACC, FSU and Clemson? If Georgia Tech does leave for the Big 10 there's a good chance that another ACC school will join them. Half the ACC has been mentioned by the various conference rumor mills as potential candidates so it's difficult to say which school that might be. It could be that just Georgia Tech might be the only school to leave the ACC for now if they decide to move forward. Regardless, the loss of Georgia Tech would be another huge blow to the conference. From what we've been told a change like this would probably push Florida State and Clemson over the edge. Within the last week or so there has been serious talks within the administration about exploring options outside the ACC. FSU has also been in contact with Clemson to come up with a join exit plan should the ACC continue to collapse. If Georgia Tech does bolt for the Big 10, I hear FSU and Clemson will get in touch with the Big 12 to begin negotiations. Both schools will also reach out to the SEC but whether there is enough interest, or enough votes to get past Florida's block, remains to be seen. Also, if it does play out this way, and FSU and Clemson work out a deal with the Big 12 don't be surprised if there is an arrangement to add two more eastern schools down the road including Miami. One of the biggest concerns expressed by FSU president Eric Barron, and rightfully so, was that all of the schools in the Big 12 are outside FSU's geographic footprint. The addition of Clemson, and Miami and another eastern school down the road, would make a move to the Big 12 much more palatable for Florida State and Clemson. Having at least five Big 12 schools in the east (remember West Virginia) would make scheduling and travel much easier, and would mean a lot more alumni and boosters within FSU's footprint. Comment: This is just speculation on my part but the best chance for FSU and Clemson to find their way into the SEC would be for the two schools to come close to a deal with the Big 12 and then give the SEC one last chance. The prospect of the Big 12 getting a major foothold in the heart of SEC country probably isn't too appealing to Mike Silve and the conference power brokers. Adding FSU and Clemson as the 15th and 16th schools would completely lock down the Southeast.Defensive coordinator search update Everything we hear leads us to believe that a new defensive coordinator will be named soon, and possibly this week. In fact, we've been old that Fisher already has his man and it's just a matter of dotting the i's and crossing the t's. We don't have a solid name yet but all signs point to the new DC having a more "aggressive" philosophy. That's a vague term in football speak but as good as Mark Stoops did turning around the defense, Fisher wants a defense that fully utilizes FSU's athletic superiority and one that can force more turnovers. As good as the defense was in 2012 (No. 2 in total defense) it forced just 19 turnovers in 13 games. To put that into perspective Florida forced 29 turnovers in just 12 games. To further point out the importance of forcing turnovers the schools ranked in the top 10 of the BCS rankings have forced an average of 27 turnovers (Oregon has a whopping 38!) and most of those teams only played 12 games. In terms of names a new one that came to our attention is Bradley Dale Peveto who has been coaching at Northwestern State. He just opted not to return as the head coach last week which means he may have something in the hopper. Peveto coached special teams and linebackers with Fisher at LSU in 2005-06. He has some experience as a DC (Houston, Middle Tennessee and NW State). Other names making the rounds include Bob Shoop who is the current DC at Vanderbilt, Geoff Collins the co-DC at Mississippi State, former Auburn head coach Gene Chizik, and former USF head coach Jim Leavitt. We have nothing to substantiate any of these coaches as legitimate candidates but are just names popping up in various coaching rumor mills. We keep hearing there's a good chance the next DC will have some NFL experience. If that's the case it would narrow the list quite a bit. A lot of people keep throwing out current defensive ends coach D.J. Eliot has a candidate for the DC opening. While anything is possible, we've heard nothing to back that up and from all indications Fisher wants to bring in someone with experience running a defense. Which assistants are staying, going? As Warchant.com indicated on Sunday, it looks like James Coley will be staying on at Florida State. While Coley appears to be sticking around, everything points to at least one FSU assistant joining Mark Stoops at Kentucky. During Stoops' Sunday press conference from Kentucky, he said that discussing names of any FSU coaches that might become part of his staff wouldn't be fair to the players back at Florida State. That's a pretty clear signal that he has at least one FSU coach targeted for his new staff. The most likely candidates to join Stoops in Kentucky are D.J. Eliot and/or Greg Hudson. Eliot makes the most sense since he was effectively brought in to FSU by Stoops. The two coached together before FSU and Eliot has a working knowledge of what Stoops like to do defensively. The only possible negative is that Eliot has no experience as a defensive coordinator, if that's where Stoops wants him at. Not sure why he would leave FSU to coach without getting a promotion at Kentucky. Greg Hudson on the other hand does have extensive experience running a defense both at East Carolina and Minnesota. However, the two did not have a working relationship before coming together at FSU. There may be a third assistant coachin play for another job but it has nothing to do with Kentucky. Special teams coordinator and running back coach Eddie Gran is on the short list for the head coaching vacancy at Southern Miss. While he's probably not the top pick for the Golden Eagles we've been told that he is under serious consideration. If offered the position you would expect Gran to jump on it. As with the defensive coordinator position at FSU, the situation with the assistant coaches will probably be settled in the near future.Fisher.... again The rumors and "reports" continute to fly that Jimbo Fisher is a serious candidate for various head coaching vacancies. The hottest thing flying around is Fisher and the opening at Tennessee. In talking to the publisher of VolQuest and others close to the program there's little doubt that FSU's 47-year old head coach is high on Tennessee's wish list. However, as we've been telling people for weeks it takes two to tango. We still hear nothing on this end other than that Fisher is totally focused in on FSU and has zero interest in any of the current openings. There is also nothing to back up the rumors that Fisher might be interviewing for the job any time soon. Don't be surprised if Tennessee hires Butch Davis this week. There are no absolutes when it comes to this stuff and situations can change over night. But we've done our due diligence in trying to look under every stone when it comes to the Jimbo Fisher rumors and there's simply nothing that we can find to lend any support to them.

Dear Editor,
On Aug. 28, my husband and I were traveling from Camden to Charleston for a doctor's appointment. We were ahead of schedule and decided to make a brief stop in Summerville at one of the shopping centers near the interstate. With a little more than an hour before the appointment time, we returned to the car. As I turned the key in the ignition, there was no response from the battery.
When we opened the hood of our car, we saw a corroded battery cable. My heart sank and I literally felt sick because I did not know how I would get the battery replaced and reach the doctor's office in time for the appointment. Seeing our dilemma and without hesitation a young woman approached and asked if we needed help. She offered to take us to our appointment or to get our car started using the battery in her car. Within minutes, she pulled her car in front of ours, helped us get our car started, and we were on our way.
I am writing this hoping that Samantha will somehow know what her sweet spirit, reassuring words, beautiful smile, and kindness meant to two senior citizens on that Wednesday.

SII and the Jesuit Tradition
Core Learning
The St. Ignatius Institute (SII) offers a rigorous academic program that begins with studying the "great books." The SII curriculum is an alternative to the University core curriculum engaging students through academically challenging classes in disciplines like philosophy, theology, and literature. SII students enjoy smaller seminar style classes and close personal attention from the SII faculty. The integration of academics, community based learning and living, and openness to exploring spirituality are hallmarks of the SII curriculum.
With the exception of math and science, SII courses fulfill the USF core curriculum. Students in the SII may choose any major area of study.
Engaging Reality in the World
Community-based learning
SII students engage the world outside of the classroom through community-based learning. Building community with and learning from those most in need foster depth of thought and imagination. Examples of SII outreach include partnerships with local churches and NGOs who provide hospitality and dialogue with those living on the margins of San Francisco society. Students participate in a variety of programs at the St. Vincent de Paul Wellness Center promoting healing and healthy living for underserved people in the city. They also provide tutoring and mentoring for local grammar, middle school and high school students.
Global Education
SII is home to three unique study abroad opportunities. Located in Oxford, England,
Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies
Blackfriars Hall
are traditional study abroad experiences that offer Oxford tutorial style learning.
Casa Bayanihan
in Manila, Philippines is an exemplary Jesuit study abroad program focusing on justice, faith, and global education. It is education for transformation broadening students' worldviews.
Casa Bayanihan
integrates immersion into the reality of the Philippines, especially the reality of the poor, rigorous academics, simple community living, and Ignatian spirituality.
Sharing Community
SII is a community within the larger USF community. Our students experience
cura personalis
(care of the person) through the mentorship and support of SII faculty, staff, and fellow students. SII students are invited to live on the SII floor in the USF residence halls and continue building community through various social events on campus and off. Our community gathers for an optional liturgy and community night every Tuesday evening.
The SII community encourages peer mentoring. Students study together and learn together. SII students who complete four years of the program often credit their SII experience as the highlight of USF.
Exploring Spirituality
The SII is an inclusive community that welcomes peoples of all faith traditions, including those questioning and challenging their views on God. Seeking to educate not just the mind, but the whole person, SII creates an open environment where students can move beyond the busyness of university life, and more deeply reflect on how they are being touched by what is sacred and holy in their lives.
The SII offers a holistic formation that gives students that opportunity to experience different types of prayer and reflection, to engage the Catholic tradition in all its richness, and to practice the art of spiritual discernment. Inspired by the Jesuit ideal of being "contemplatives in action," the SII helps students integrate their spiritual growth and active engagement with the world.
Weekly liturgies, retreats, and evenings of reflection are offered to the students. There is a retreat in the fall for the senior class and a spring retreat open to all students. Mass is held for the SII students on a weekly basis. Many SII students actively participate in the life of local St. Ignatius Parish. All students are invited, but never required, to take advantage of these and other opportunities for prayer and reflection.
Students also have the opportunity to complete a minor in Catholic Studies. They can also complete other minors at USF.

The Baker volleyball team goes for a 10th consecutive district championship.
The Gators open the defense of their District 1-1A title at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Central against the winner of Monday's 4 p.m. match between the host Central Jaguars and Laurel Hill.
The championship match is at 6 p.m. Thursday at Central.
Crestview opens play in the District 2-6A tournament at Choctawhatchee on Monday at 6 p.m. against Mosley in the tournament semifinals.
The tournament finals are at 7 p.m. Thursday.
The Bulldogs enter the tournament as the No. 3 seed behind top seed Niceville and No. 2 seed Mosley.
Tournament host Choctaw is the fourth seed and Fort Walton Beach is the fifth seed.
Baker Coach Tomikko Parks said there hasn't been any talk about the string of championships the Gators have put together.
"We haven't mentioned a number (of consecutive championships)," she said. "The girls just want to win. We just want to win that district championship and the number hasn't come up in our conversations or anything.
"It's important that we were the No. 1 seed because that means we've done our job in the regular season and that's the most important thing. The girls understand how important it is to win the district championship because without the district championship, we can't reach our other goals (of making it to the state tournament)."
Winning might be a way of life for the Gators, but for a Crestview program that has been down for several years, earning the No. 3 seed is a step in the right direction.
Bulldog Coach Kathy Combest led Baker to the first five championships in the Gator streak. Now, she's just happy that Crestview has escaped the district cellar for the first time in close to a decade and hopes her team can find some tournament magic.
Crestview lost both of its regular season matches against Mosley, but the Bulldogs beat the Dolphins in a set — and Combest thinks Crestview might be primed to pull the upset.
"Mosley is a great team, but the game we beat them in wasn't close," she said. "There are teams people look at in the tournament and say, 'We don't want to play that team.'
"I hope we are that team that sneaks up on people as we reach our potential in the tournament. Once those girls get a taste of that success, they will want to go back. I want to see that for those girls."

I first encountered Buddhism many years ago while researching a biography of Jack Kerouac, but only established my own practice four years ago, when I began to sit at City Center. Without any particular conscious plan, I became increasingly involved, first in Saturday Sangha, then in the evening zazen doanryo, then as a student of Jordan Thorn. I took the precepts at my jukai in the Fall of 2011.
Having served as a volunteer on the Board of Trustees and with the Development Committee (which I currently chair) of the ACLU of Northern California for nearly 20 years , I offered my experience to the Zen Center and became part of this past year's Leadership Program, which has led to this invitation to serve on the Board. As my practice has deepened, it has become clear to me that service is an essential element, and one I cherish more and more.
My background has been in the academic world (a Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts in History) and then - oddly - in the music business, where I went from researching a biography of the Grateful Dead (which was finally published in 2002) to becoming the band's publicist from 1985 until 2008. I remain a consultant in publicity and promotion for various musicians. My wife Susana Millman and I have a daughter, son-in-law, and two very lovely grandsons.
