text: Our Valleys and Waterfalls tour showcases our amazing Hamakua Heritage Coastal region with its diverse scenery from 400ft waterfalls to its bridges crossing deep cleft valleys each with entirely different vegetation patterns in wild variety. This tour is designed to take advantage of both seasonal and daily weather changes as well as varying passenger loads from one to a van full, and may take smaller numbers for an intense look at the beauty within 14 miles of Hilo including the Scenic Route and Akaka Falls...or for larger numbers, a long ranging tour as far as Waipio Valley. We will honor even one reservation by running the tour with no minimum number for a shorter duration and more intense enjoyment of the area as far as Akaka Falls,.for larger numbers we may take in more of the coast. In this way we can serve those who choose not to rent a car or those who realize that they will see more and learn more in a guided tour. During seasonal heavy rainfall, waterfalls within a few miles of Hilo become spectacular cascades and the tour may morph into seeing those falls then getting you out of the rainfall or even to the other side of the Island. There is no set route nor list of sites as each tour is as different as the guides who lead it, some with stories of family growing up in the villages you will pass through .

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Fav place for burger & beer.
Posted by Ryan M. on 06/25/2010
A few colleagues and I headed to Old Town for some burgers. The meat was severely overcooked and the fries were mediocre. The bun wasn't anything special. I might be back for drinks, but definitely not for the food.
Posted by MAXIMILIAN on 05/25/2010
The people before me have pretty much said it all. Over the years I always find myself bopping in here. It has such a wonderful feel to it, and the food is fantastic. It a place can be medicine for the soul, this place is surely it. Come in, have a drink and eat in a place that can be good for your spirit as well. Highly recommended!
Posted by goingfor a while on 02/03/2010
I've always enjoyed (as in, I think they are the best in the city) wings here, the burger is very good too. But the waitresses here are awesome. It's like having your very own mom for an hour. They aren't annoying models or disillusioned theater majors, they are nice but not too nice, bring you your food, and check in just enough. I love this place.
Posted by elaine on 02/20/2009
old bar has been around forever but it looks dark and dreary from the outside - well, i finally went in a couple of days ago. what a great neighborhood place! friendly and welcoming. the beer is cheap by ny standards and the food, while a bit limited i think, was very good. the burgers and fries are great. and they do hot dogs really really well - who would think?! anyway, i'm happy i found it.
Posted by elaine on 02/18/2009
this is the quintessential NY neighborhood bar. the staff is very good, the drink prices are fair, and the food (limited that it is) is quite good - a great burger and fries, and i feel almost silly mentioning that the hot dogs are great! a very casual friendly place to place. p.s. it doesn't look great from the outside!
Posted by Finbar Boyle on 12/13/2008
I'm 57. I'd been in US, but only West. I thought New Yorkers were in-your-facers, Madonnas, Streisands, Woody Allens, mad people who might kick you away from their private preoccupations, and I didn't want to go there. For a personal reason I spent five days there in May and got to love it. So much that I went back for a fortnight (that's a word you don't use) in September... and I found the OT. The old-time grace of the bar, the beauty of its area, with the detail in the surrounding buildings, high, but built by hand, and the laconic courtesy of the staff, always in good humour, even when they thought I was beginning to live there, turned my head around about NYC and the USA. And one day the boss said 'I want you to talk to somebody' ... and he introduced me to a Nobel laureate . Others, I see, describe it as an Irish bar, but it's not. It's a New York bar. That's all it is. That's all it needs to be. And thankfully they know that. Go raibh maith agaibh uilig.

Categories: Cyberwarfare
On November 14, 2014, Sony Pictures Entertainment was hacked, locking employees out of their computers, compromising important internal data, and leaking unreleased movies onto the internet. In response to the attack, President Obama said the U.S. would "respond proportionately." The President's authority to respond proportionately to the Sony attacks is based in principles of international law.
North Carolina Journal of International Law and Commercial Regulation's 2014
symposium, various panelists offered their views on the
growing area of cyber warfare. Cyber
warfare is a relatively new development that is creating ethical and legal ambiguity
under current international law. Modern international law recognizes the idea
of jus ad bellum, literally
translated to mean "right to war". This theory determines situations when it is
lawful to resort to war. The United States, and now most countries, claim . . .
Professor Eric Talbot Jensen gave a lecture titled: "The Future of the Law of Armed
Conflict" at The North Carolina
Journal of International Law and Commercial Regulation Symposium on Friday,
January 31, 2014. Professor Jensen
interspersed his entertaining and thought-provoking lecture with video clips of
futuristic weaponry to drive home the point that our technology is developing
at such a rapid pace that seemingly futuristic weapons are already within our
grasp. As a result, if our laws do not
develop to address the possibilities of new weapons that take forms and create
harm in unconventional ways, we will be ill-equipped legally to face the
threats and consequences of these new weapons.
The North Carolina Journal of International Law and
Commercial Regulation (ILJ) at the University of North Carolina School of Law
held their annual symposium this past week, focusing on "Emerging Issues in the
Law of Armed Conflict and International Security." The symposium allowed ILJ to draw from the
state's strong military ties and the state's wide network of national security
legal professionals.
Scholars from across the nation also contributed to the
agenda for ILJ's symposium. Professor
Eric Talbot Jensen began the morning with his presentation entitled "The Future
of the Law of Armed Conflict." Jensen, of Brigham Young University School of
Law and of Tallinn Manual notoriety,
gave an early disclaimer regarding the difficulty of predicting the future,
much less predicting the law that the
future needs. Jensen continued to lay out a framework for
how to best predict the laws needed for the future of armed conflict. Among Jensen's thoughtful predictions were
several assumptions, which Jensen himself readily acknowledged and welcomed
feedback concerning his assumptions' veracity.
helicopters hummed along the broken Pakistani terrain, their mission
accomplished. Osama Bin Laden was dead and the entire SEAL
Team Six crew was safe. In three and a half hours the team had
entered Pakistani airspace, assaulted the compound in Abbottabad, and returned
to Afghanistan, all before the Pakistani government was ever aware of the
incursion. The Pakistani air defense never detected the
helicopters in its airspace. Some speculated it was this inability to
detect U.S. forces that most damaged U.S.-Pakistani relations, more than the
actual invasion of Pakistani territory. "Never had the [Pakistani] military, the
strongest institution in the country, been so humiliated since it lost three
wars to India." Programmers and hackers stationed at U.S.
Cyber Command in Ft. Meade, Maryland, could have contributed to the undetected
incursion, using cyber technologies to infiltrate and turn off Pakistan's air
defense system simultaneous to the U.S.'s physical assault.
would not be the first such cyber attack. In 2007, Israeli bombers flew undetected into Syria, blowing up what was
later determined to be a partially completed, North Korean-built nuclear
enrichment facility. The bombers flew undetected not due to some
new radar-absorbing technology, but because Israel used a complex cyber attack to mask its entry. Israeli programmers manipulated Syria's air
defense so
that it would fail to report anything on the radar.
While the debate on the U.S. approach to Syria's chemical weapons dominated the headlines, one headline that quickly disappeared concerned a Syrian-based cyber attack against the New York Times. The Syrian Electronic Army (S.E.A.), "a group of hackers who support President Bashar al-Assad of Syria," laid claim to intentionally bringing down the New York Times website for most of the day on August 27. The offensive included "an online attack on the company's domain registrar" and "also forced employees of The Times to take care in sending emails." Notably, the S.E.A. claims no ties to the Syrian government, though President al-Assad reportedly referred to the group as "a real army in a virtual reality."
The S.E.A. previously attempted similar attacks against websites of other notable news sources, including the Washington Post, CNN, and the Financial Times. Perhaps most notably, the S.E.A. hacked the Twitter account for the Associated Press last April, posting a fake tweet which read, "Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured." While the tweet was soon revealed to be false, the attack resulted in a 145-point dip in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
In an October 12, 2012, meeting with Time magazine, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta warned of the immediate threat sophisticated malware posed to the United States. Secretary Panetta lamented that such malware, now being developed by numerous countries, has "the kind of capability that can basically take down a power grid, take down a water system, take down a transportation system, take down a financial system." The most recent illustration of the power of state-sponsored cyberattacks came on August 15, 2012, when Saudi Armco, the world's largest oil company, was the victim of an attack, which researchers believe was launched by Iranian hackers in retaliation for recent attacks by the United States and Israel. The attack erased the contents of three-fourths of the company's hard drives, leaving in their place an image of a burning American flag. Advancements in cyberwarfare present the opportunity to accomplish foreign policy and military goals without the human, economic, or political cost inherent in traditional warfare. However, it is evident that the rise of state-sponsored cyberattacks implicates strategic, ethical, and legal issues of the highest order.

LETTER: What's objectionable about Moral Monday movement?
To the Editor:
I noticed last week on a local Internet source a conservative viewpoint giving the greatest hits for the GOP [Chatham] County Commissioners over the past three years. I assume the writer's intent is to polish the halo for Mr. [Brian] Bock and Ms. [Pam] Stewart in order to re-elect them to the board of commissioners. Mr. [Walter] Petty has no opposition and will be re-elected in the fall.
It struck me that this view attacked the Moral Monday movement and even regurgitated the Sen. Thom Goolsby trope of "Moron Mondays".
What is it that the writer finds objectionable in the movement? It certainly has resonated with a large number of citizens across North Carolina, and statistics from the movement itself indicate that up to 16 percent of the citizens attending to express dissatisfaction with the General Assembly are registered Republicans.
Personally, paying teachers more, investing in public education, expanding Medicaid coverage, ensuring (improving) fair and equal access to the ballot box, protecting our drinking water, treating working people fairly and advocating for a safety net without gaping holes seem like laudable goals and values to aspire to and achieve.
Furthermore, cutting Medicaid eliminated good medical jobs, cut out any multiplier effect the state could achieve through these job investments and took away the income rural hospitals would have gained through Medicaid insurance reimbursements; instead they are forced to cover them with higher bills paid by the insured patients. These policies pursued by the extreme GOP-led General Assembly were not only morally questionable, but in many cases simply bad business decisions cloaked by ideology.
And the notion that local mainstream media cover a few hundred gimmie voters on "Moron Mondays" flies in the face of the 80,000 to 100,000 citizens who showed up in February, or the thousands who have showed up at rallies around the state.
I will be disappointed if Mr. Bock, Ms. Stewart and Mr. Petty, who have certainly stood by their moral convictions and faith, share the notion that citizens of all backgrounds organizing under First Amendment rights to petition the government for redress are morons.

Beyoncé, Teyana Taylor And More Celebrities Get In The Holiday Spirit With Christmas Cards [Pics]
Nowadays, celebrity Christmas cards and photoshoots are pretty much an expected part of the holidays. And while we haven't seen the usual adorable shots from Diddy and his kids, or the more over-the-top images from the Kardashians (thanks goodness for small mercies), other celebrities are definitely in the holiday spirit, and sending good cheer through their awesome pictures. Beyoncé sent some colorful cards to her fans (including famous fan Laverne Cox), Teyana Taylor and her boyfriend Iman Shumpert did a hilarious photoshoot straight out of the movie Step Brothers, and Ciara and baby Future put on their Santa hats to help him prepare for his first Christmas. Check out their cards and photos, and a few others from Grant Hill & Tamia, as well as Adrienne and Chris Bosh, that warmed our hearts:

5-Year-Old To Testify In Chris Bosh Child Custody Trial?
Well, apparently the custodial war over Chris Bosh's 5-year-old daughter, Trinity, is still on. According to The Jasmine Brand, Chris' ex, Allison Mathis, recently filed documents expressing that she wants little Trinity to take the stand at their ongoing child custody trial and testify on her behalf.
As you may recall, Chris and Allison have been back and forth to court battling over custodial rights and child support since Allison was six months pregnant with the kindergartner. In the past, Chris has accused Allison of doing everything in her power to alienate him from Trinity. At the same time, Allison has accused Chris of failing to be a good provider.
In my opinion, it's a terrible idea to drag a 5-year-old into a courtroom to testify because her parents are unable to sort their issues out. It will be interesting to see whether or not a judge will grant Allison's request. The ex-lovers have been at it for years now and Trinity is at an age where she is probably beginning to understand what's going on between her parents. Hopefully, the two can reach some sort of amicable agreement soon for their daughter's sake.

More Christmas Card Adorableness From The Bosh Family
Chris Bosh is repeatedly a victim of slander in the media, but say what you will about the man, one thing he has going for him is a beautiful family — and a championship ring or two.
Chris and Adrienne are trying to give Diddy and Kobe and Vanessa a run for their money as the cutest crew around with this adorable Bosh Family Christmas Card. Adrienne posted this picstitch on Instagram last week, saying:
A little sneak peek of The Bosh Family holiday shoot with @aprilbellephotos …never a dull a moment to say the least! @tamiastyles you killed the hair and make up btw #BoshFamily#ItsbeginningToLookAlotLikeChristmas
We were trying to hold off on posting anything until the official reveal, but we couldn't wait on this preciousness any longer. In addition to the group shots, it looks like the kids got a little individual shine time as well, judging from this cute solo shot of Chris and Adrienne's first child together, 19-month-old Jackson.
Chris and Adrienne welcomed a second child, Dylan, in early November, and also featured in the pics is Chris's daughter Trinity from a previous relationship. We can't wait to see the finished product from this glamorous photo shoot. What do you think?

Chris And Adrienne Bosh Welcome A Precious Baby Girl!
Back in June we told you that Miami Heat star Chris Bosh and his wife, Adrienne, were expecting their second child together. The couple announced their upcoming birth with an adorable photo shoot starring their son Jack and Chris' daughter from a previous relationship, Trinity. Last month Adrienne celebrated her pregnancy with Gabrielle Union and fellow basketball wives during a Parisian princess-themed baby shower. After much anticipation and tons of celebrating, Chris and Adrienne welcomed their new baby girl into the world yesterday. Adrienne made the birth announcement to fans via her Instagram page.
"What a perfect day to witness a miracle and be humbled by the beautiful process of Life and Love We appreciate all the well wishes, positivity, and words of support we have received! To my husband…you continue to bring life to my dreams and joy to my world. I Thank You for helping me welcome this perfect little angel #PrincessDylan #BoshFamily," she captioned the above photograph.
Chris also took to Instagram with photos of his family's latest addition.
"I'm a father again! I can't believe it!!!" he exclaimed.
They seem like such a happy family! And check out that little smile Dylan serving up. She's already camera ready, which is great, because y'all know her mama loves a good photo shoot.
Adrienne Bosh Celebrates Pregnancy With Parisian Princess-Style Baby Shower
Adrienne Bosh had a baby shower fit for a queen over the weekend — or make that a Parisian princess — which is the nickname the wife of Miami Heat baller Chris Bosh is giving their little expectant one.
In May, we found out in the most adorable way possible that Chris and Adrienne were going to have another baby. At the time, the couple's son, Jackson was just 1 year old, but the little cutie pie and Chris's daughter, Trinity, from a previous relationship broke, the news in a super cute photo shoot. A month later, the siblings spilled the beans that the new baby was going to be a girl and this past Saturday we got a sneak peek into how spoiled this little "Parisian Princess" is going to be.
From elaborate flower arrangements to Chanel placards and gold cake pops, it's clear no expense was spared for the celebration which brought out a slew of celebs, like Adrienne's "basketball wife" in crime, Gabrielle Union. Check out all the pics from the baby shower in the shots below and on the next couple of pages. What do you think?

Is She Bumpin' Her Gums… Again? Royce Bashes Chris Bosh's Wife For Exploiting His Daughter
Chris Bosh is seeking full custody of his daughter, Trinity, with his ex, Allison Mathis, who happens to be close friends with ex-"Basketball Wives" reality star, Royce Reed, who we already know is constantly in the headlines for "speaking her mind." TMZ reported that Bosh is seeking custody because he feels Mathis is trying to alienate him from his child, keeping her from traveling with him and turning her against him, and upon hearing that news, Royce went off on Adrienne — on Twitter, mind you — on her alleged "exploitation" of little Trinity, airing out the Boshes dirty laundry and calling foul on the way they are going about trying to keep Trinity from her mother.
In her tweets to Adrienne Bosh, Royce said:
"if it was abt Trinity y do u exploit her all the time like she's never w/her mother when she is most of the time"
"why not mention the reason Trinity can't travel overseas is bcuz she has chronic ear infections, & her DOCTOR denied travel"
"allison has repeatedly asked 4 a sit down w/ur new parenting coordinator. y yall keep canceling? oh and ur residence is tx? Ok "
While it is reasonable to want to support your friends, it seems that Reed is being a bit too messy. Isn't this a fight that the lawyers should be having? If she's as grown as she has claimed to be throughout her time on Basketball Wives it seems that she should give the public arguments a rest and and speak face-to-face, if it's even necessary.
We previously reported on Chris Bosh claiming Texas to be his permanent residence, despite the fact that he is employed by the Miami Heat with a permanent address in Miami. The reason is as clear as day: child support payment is much less for Texas residents.
The Boshes story IS fishy at best but do you think Royce had a right to publicly speak out on an issue that doesn't directly involve her?
They Ain't Got No Worries Either! The Ladies Of The Heat Get Their Celebration On
Make no mistake about it, the girlfriends and wives of the Miami Heat basketball team are just as excited as the players are about their big win because they know that championship ring means mo' bucks which equals more bags, more shoes, and more fine living.
After the Heats' victory over the Spurs last night, partners of the Big 3 — Lebron, Dwyane, and Chris — got their celebration on too. 'Bron's lady Savannah kept it lowkey, rocking a simple white t-shirt while catching the game, and Adrienne went the family route, shouting out the entire Bosh clan on Twitter. Gabrielle Union went hard, though, uploading pics of her and her girl Sanaa popping Moet. And Terrence J dropped this fabulous Instagram video of Gabby hopping off the private Jet and getting her runway walk on into the area.
Check out shots of the ladies below. #Winning!
Chris And Adrienne Bosh Are Expecting A Baby Girl!
Last month Adrienne Bosh announced that she and her NBA-playing hubby, Chris Bosh, were expecting baby number three via an adorable photo spread, featuring their 1-year-old son, Jack, and Chris's adorable daughter, Trinity. Now it appears that the Bosh's are announcing the sex of the baby in a similar way.
The family's photographer, April Belle, recently posted this photo to her Instagram page, accompanied by a congratulatory message to the expectant parents.
"Sending love, light & congratulations to the Bosh family! Expecting a baby GIRL! @mrsadriennebosh@chrisbosh"
Lil Wayne On Why He Called Out Adrienne Bosh: 'I Was Too Turnt Up That Night'
Earlier this year at an All-Star Weekend celebration, in what seemed to be a fit of frustration, Lil Wayne took the stage at Stereo Live in Houston and in a clear attempt to take shots at Miami Heats player, Chris Bosh, announced to a room full of party-goers that he slept with Bosh's wife, Adrienne Bosh, before the pair hooked up, dated and eventually married.
"If you're wondering why you didn't see me at the All-Star Game it's because I was banned from attending all NBA events. The Miami Heat got me banned. F**k NBA! F**k Lebron! F**k SheWade! F**k Chris Bosh! And I f**ked Chris Bosh wife!"
The TMI moment came after Lil Wayne was ejected from a Miami Heat-Los Angeles Lakers game. Not long after, during a radio interview with Miami's 99 Jamz radio station, Weezy discussed his actions and revealed that he wasn't the least bit remorseful about what he said.
"I don't apologize for that night. That's who I am, and yes, I did say those things," he said.
The public diss was followed up by explosive claims made by an inside source who suggested that they had knowledge of Adrienne and Wayne's relationship. The insider claimed that Bosh and Wayne's relationship ended when she scammed him out of a hefty amount of money by stating that she had cancer and needed money for treatment. Once Wayne coughed up the cash, Adrienne allegedly disappeared.
It appears that Wayne has decided to let that grudge go, though. During a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the "High School" rapper admitted that he was doing the most that night.
"I was too turnt up that night," he humorously told Kimmel.
On a more serious note, he also revealed that seizure episodes are related to a medical condition that he's been dealing with for a long time.
"It's a private medical matter I've been dealing with my whole life. We're used to them happening so my doctors prepped all my homies."
Check out part one of his interview below. Flip the switch for part two.

Chris Bosh And Wife Adrienne Are Expecting Another Baby!
If there is one thing that we absolutely love here at Madame Noire, it's adorable little ones. We're thrilled to report that Miami Heat player, Chris Bosh and his wife Adrienne Bosh are expecting another child. Adrienne took to her Twitter page yesterday to announce the wonderful news via these adorable photos of their two children holding signs with cute phrases etched onto them such as:
"Guess what?!"
"I'm a big sister again!"
"I'm being promoted to big brother."
Along with one of the photos, Adrienne posted a message to her Twitter page, confirming the news.
The new baby will actually be the couple's second child together and Chris' third child. They already have a one-year-old son, Jackson. Chris also has an adorable little girl named Trinity (pictured above) from a previous relationship. The Bosh family just got through celebrating little Jackson's first birthday earlier this month.
We're not really sure how far along Adrienne is in her pregnancy, but we're assuming she's still in the early stages, as she doesn't appear to be showing in recently released photos. We're very happy for the Bosh family. Fatherhood looks good on Chris and this has got to be one of the most adorable pregnancy announcements we've seen in a long time!

I have added myself, does anyone know if you can sort all the pins by location? It would be nice to be able to see all the FL hangers to have an idea how many there are without having to page though and then zoom in over and over. I may be seeing why one website I saw had so many google maps, they broke it out by state most likely to overcome this exact issue. But I could be wrong an ask the input of those more knowledgeable that I.
Very nice. Good job and thanks.
You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
You need to flip through google pages, thats strange behavior from google. Unfortunately it does not show up all at once.

St. Louis Musicians' Monstrous Visages Loom Menacingly on City's Horizon
If you've been zooming down St. Louis' highways on the way home from work lately, half asleep and ready to inhale pizza before passing out on the couch in a comatose food state (what? it's been a busy week), you've probably noticed KDHX's trademark stop-sign-red logo on some brand new roadside billboards around town.
Tef Poe, large enough to step on your car

KDHX's latest ad campaign raises awareness for the public phase of its capital campaign which, with any luck, will boost funds for its in-development digs at Grand Center. The ads feature local artists involved in the three things that the community radio station seems to love best: music (of course), beer and kicking ass.
The billboards occupy stretches of highways I-55, I-44, I-64, I-70, and I-170 and feature black and white portraits of local stalwarts in support of the station. Please -- for the love of dogs -- do your best to not crash your car while on the lookout for these likenesses. And, as always, feel free to contribute to keeping KDHX alive anytime by donating online at ForKDHX.org. Alternatively, feel free to follow the directions of other billboards in town by downing some quarter pounders, lifting some weights and trying not to puke.

In Whom Do We Trust?
POSTED BY: holzapfel
A few years ago, a colleague and I sat at lunch with two prominent theologians. This was not our first visit together because we had met two years earlier and had had a sweet and delightful discussion of Jesus Christ, the centrality of his Atonement, the lifting and liberating powers of his grace, and how our discipleship is and should be lived out day by day. In that initial meeting there was no defensiveness, no pretense, no effort to put the other down or prove him wrong. Instead, there was that simple exchange of views, an acknowledgment of our differences, and a spirit of rejoicing in those central features of the doctrine of Christ about which we were in complete agreement—a sobering spirit of gratitude for the incomparable blessings that flow from the life and death and transforming power of the Redeemer.
Now, two years later, we picked up where we had left off, almost as if no time had passed at all. Many things were said, diagrams were drawn on napkins, and a free flow of ideas took place. Toward the end of our meeting, one of our friends turned to me and said: "Okay Bob, here's the one thing I would like to ask in order to determine what you really believe." He continued: "You are standing before the judgment bar of the Almighty, and God turns to you and asks, 'Robert Millet, what right do you have to enter heaven? Why should I let you in?'" It was not the kind of question I had anticipated. (I had assumed he would be asking something more theoretical. This question was poignant, practical, penetrating, and personal.) For about thirty seconds, I tried my best to envision such a scene, searched my soul, and sought to be as clear and candid as possible. Before I indicate exactly what I said, I want to take us forward twenty-four hours in time.
The next day I spoke to a large group of Latter-day Saint single adults from throughout New England who had gathered for a conference at MIT in Boston. My topic was "Hope in Christ." Two-thirds of the way through my address, I felt it would be appropriate to share our experience from the day before. I posed to the young people the same question that had been posed to me. There was a noticeable silence in the room, an evidence of quiet contemplation upon a singularly significant question. I allowed them to think about it for a minute or so and then walked up to one of the young women on the front row and said: "Let's talk about how we would respond. Perhaps I could say the following to God: 'Well, I should go to heaven because I was baptized into the Church, served a full-time mission, married in the temple, attend worship services regularly, read my scriptures daily, pray in the morning and at night. . .'" At that point the young woman cut me off with these words: "Wait. . . . Wait. . . . I don't feel right about your answer. It sounds like you're reading God your résumé."
Several hands then went up. One young man blurted out: "How did you answer the question? Tell us what you said!" I thought back upon the previous day, recalled to mind many of the feelings that swirled in my heart at the time, and told the single adults how I had answered. I looked my friend in the eye and replied: I would say to God: I claim the right to enter heaven because of my complete trust in and reliance upon the merits and mercy and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ." My questioner stared at me for about ten seconds, smiled gently, and said: "Bob, that's the correct answer to the question."
Obviously a person's good works are necessary in the sense that they indicate what we are becoming through the powers of the gospel of Jesus Christ; they manifest who and what we are. But I also know there will never be enough good deeds on my part—prayers, hymns, charitable acts, financial contributions, or thousands of hours of Church service—to save myself. The work of salvation requires the work of a God. Unaided man is and will forevermore be lost, fallen, and unsaved. It is only in the strength of the Lord that we are able to face life's challenges, handle life's dilemmas, engage life's contradictions, endure life's trials, and eventually defeat life's inevitable foe—death.
Hanukkah and Christmas
POSTED BY: holzapfel
Guest blog by Jeffrey R. Chadwick, Jerusalem Center Professor of Archaeology and Near Eastern Studies.
Hanukkah, the Jewish Feast of Dedication, begins this Friday night at sundown. The Hebrew word Hanukkah actually means "dedication." The eight-day festival in 2009 runs from Saturday, December 12, to Saturday, December 19. It is a holiday period of considerable significance, both religiously and historically, to Jews the world over. But it should also be of some importance to Christians, including Latter-day Saints, for without the events celebrated in Hanukkah there would have been no Christmas.
Here's the story: The ancient Jewish people in the land of Israel faced a grave threat when the Greco-Syrian despot Antiochus IV became king of the Seleucid empire in 175 BC. Syria controlled Judea at the time, but the Jews had been treated with tolerance by previous Syrian rulers. Antiochus IV, however, saw himself as a Greek deity in human form (he even adopted the name Epiphanes), and he set a goal to convert all the peoples of his realm to the worship of the Greek pantheon.
Seeking this goal with the Jews, Antiochus had his troops occupy Jerusalem and its Jewish temple, replacing the ceremonies that honored the God of Israel with pagan rites, and converting the edifice into a shrine for Zeus. The temple was defiled. Pigs were slaughtered on its altar by false priests in acts of disdain for the law of Moses and Jewish values.
Jewish religion in general was outlawed. The scriptures (books of what we call the Old Testament) were confiscated and burned. Jewish ordinances and practices, such as circumcision and prayer to the Lord, became capital crimes. The historical book of 1 Maccabees reports that "the women who had circumcised their children they (the Syrians) put to death under the decree, hanging the babies around their necks, and destroying their families and the men who had circumcised them" (1 Maccabees 1:60). Had not something happened to change the course of Antiochus' program of cultural genocide against the Jews, their religion and identity would have been obliterated within a few generations.
But something did happen. In 167 BC, inspired by an Aaronic priestly family known as the Hasmoneans, the people of Judea revolted against the Syrian occupiers. Their war of independence was led by a Hasmonean priest known as Judah Maccabee. Often called the Hasomonean Revolt, or alternatively the Maccabean Revolt, the insurrection gained strength and was ultimately successful in repulsing the Syrian forces. By the winter month of Kislev (around our December) in 164 BC, the Jewish freedom fighters had recaptured Jerusalem's temple mount, and liberated the temple from the pagan Syrians. As the war continued, the Maccabean forces eventually drove the Syrians out of the land of Israel.
Having freed Jerusalem, the Jews undertook to cleanse and rededicate their holy temple. According to rabbinic tradition recorded in the Talmud (TB Shabbat 21:b), when the Hasmonean priests entered the temple they found only one jar of consecrated olive oil to light the great seven-branched lamp (menorah) in the temple holy place for a single day. But anxious to rededicate the edifice, the high priest poured the oil into the seven cups on the menorah branches, and lit the lamp. The oil that was only enough for one day burned for eight whole days, enough time for new oil to be pressed and consecrated. This was seen as a miracle and a sign that God had been with the Jews in establishing their freedom and saving their religion and identity. The eight-day dedication period was celebrated by the Jews in Israel, and eventually throughout the world, each winter from that very year until the present, beginning on the 25th day of Kislev, and has always been known as festival of Hanukkah, the "feast of dedication."
Modern Jews do a number of things in their Hanukkah celebrations. The first, and most important, is the lighting of Hanukkah lights. A nine-branched Hanukkah menorah (known in Hebrew as a Hanukiah) is the main instrument of the lighting. Small candles or vials of olive oil are placed in the arms of the menorah, one of which is elevated above the other eight. On the first night of Hanukkah, the elevated candle (known as the Shamash) is lit, followed by one other candle which represents the first day of Hanukkah. On the second night of Hanukkah, the Shamash and two candles are lit, on the third night three, and so forth until the eighth night of Hanukkah, when the Shamash and all eight candles are lit. The lit Hanukiah is placed in a windowsill each night so that all in the community can see that the Jewish family is celebrating the festival.
Other Hanukkah activities include the preparation and eating of foods fried in oil, such as potato latkes (spicey, fried potato pancakes) and donuts known as sufganiot. The frying in oil is a reminder of the miracle of the oil. The old practice of giving children coins to spend at Hanukkah has evolved into a gift-giving tradition for the holiday season. And children often play a game with a small, four-sided top called a dreidel. Sometimes Hanukkah is called a minor festival, but this is only because it is not mandated in the Torah (the scriptural law of Moses). In practice it is a major Jewish holiday period, widely celebrated and loved.
Those who celebrate Christmas each December may find it of interest to know that Jesus, who was genuinely Jewish, traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate Hanukkah. The Gospel of John reports, "It was . . . the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch" (John 10:22–23). Jesus honored the Hanukkah festival the same way he honored the Passover and other feasts: he taught the people of his own divine identity and mission.
Christians also ought to consider this: If there had been no Hasmonean revolt, and if Jerusalem and the temple had not been liberated and rededicated—if Antiochus and the Syrians had succeeded in obliterating Jewish religion and identity—then there would not have been a Jewish village called Nazareth, nor would there have been a Davidic Jewish village called Bethlehem. There would have been no Jewish nation awaiting the coming of that Redeemer. The entire setting for the birth and life of Jesus of Nazareth would not have existed!
But, thanks be to heaven, there was a revolt, and the Jewish nation not only survived but thrived. And because of these events, the way was prepared for the first Christmas. It seems entirely appropriate at this season that we join in wishing each other "Happy Holidays." Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to all!
The Advent Season
POSTED BY: holzapfel
Guest blog by Eric D. Huntsman, associate professor of ancient scripture at BYU.
The term Advent comes from the Latin adventus, meaning "coming" or "appearance." Beginning the fourth Sunday before Christmas, Advent helps Christians not only to celebrate the First Coming of Jesus Christ but also to look forward to his glorious Second Coming. Although Advent customs may be foreign to many, like so many other seasonal traditions they are a wonderful way to turn our attention more fully to the true meaning of Christmas.
Many Advent traditions come from Germany, where Martin Luther encouraged its continued observance as a way of teaching children and families more about the significance of the coming of Jesus Christ. It came to be celebrated by both Roman Catholics and Lutherans there and has become a common celebration in many Christian faith communities throughout the world.
One of the best known Advent customs is the lighting of the candles in an Advent wreath, a simple or decorated evergreen wreath with four candles placed in the circle and a single white candle in the center. The wreath itself represents the never-ending circle of God's love, that he is forever the same in his love toward his people. The green of the wreath, as in the Christmas tree, represents the hope of eternal life that comes through Christ and serves a reminder of the freshness of God's love and promises. The light of the candles reminds us that Jesus is the Light of the World, that his birth represented the coming of the light into darkness, and that we are called to reflect that light in our lives.
The outer candles are purple, the color of royalty, although customarily the third one is rose or pink. Traditions differ regarding the symbolism of the candles. One is that they represent the hope, love, joy, and peace that come through Jesus Christ. Each Sunday before Christmas an additional candle is lit, creating a beautiful stepped effect as the previous weeks' candles burn down further. Scriptures can be read and carols sung as part of the lighting, which we do before family prayer. The four candles can also represent the different Old Testament covenants that God made with his servants, beginning with Noah and continuing through Abraham, Moses, and David. The central white candle is known as the Christ candle. It is lit on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and represents the new covenant made possible through Christ.
While formally observing Advent is not part of the Latter-day Saint tradition, individuals and families can often adapt and employ such traditions for their own use. President Dieter F. Uchtdorf has spoken positively of the Advent traditions that he grew up with in Germany in a recent First Presidency Christmas devotional, as have other converts to the Church. As my wife and I were developing our own family traditions early in our marriage, observing Advent was one that we found enriched our Christmas season, and in recent years we have found that it is a wonderful way to teach our children, share spiritual experiences with them, and keep them focused on the true meaning of Christmas.
For LDS families, Advent can be adapted by reading not only from the Old Testament and New Testament but also from the Book of Mormon and Pearl of Great Price (see our selection at my Advent site). While not all families may wish to observe such Advent customs, spending time with the scriptures and enjoying beautiful music on the Sundays of Advent can be uplifting and provide meaningful reflection on the season.
Seek Learning
POSTED BY: holzapfel
Latter-day Saints are fond of quoting a phrase from modern revelation, "Seek learning, even by study and also by faith" (Doctrine and Covenants 88:118). From the beginning of the Restoration in the 1820s, a common theme of the Prophet Joseph Smith's religious quest was to seek knowledge, light, and understanding. When he went into a grove of trees near his home to pray in the spring of 1820, Joseph Smith was impelled by his trust in the biblical promise found in James 1:5 that he could find wisdom if he sought it. This prayer resulted in the First Vision, in which Joseph saw the Father and the Son—beginning a spiritual sunrise unexpected by men and women of Joseph's own day, but anticipated by prophets and apostles of old (see Acts 3:20–21).
Gospel truths continued to roll forth through the young prophet as he personally sought wisdom from God. Interestingly, Joseph Smith not only prayed for such wisdom but also studied the word of God and the languages of the biblical world (for example, Hebrew and Egyptian), practicing the command to "seek learning, even by study and also by faith." His example in this two-part effort set a pattern for Latter-day Saints that continues to challenge us today.
Recently, there has been an explosion of self-help books for "dummies" or books to make something easy. With less time in a busy world, we often look for a quick fix to our problems, even when it comes to scripture study. However, when applied to the scriptures these efforts, even though popular and well meaning, may not necessarily raise one's understanding of the topic. My colleague Robert J. Millet opined sometime ago that we need the scriptures to be understandable, not easy. I do not believe that he was playing a semantic game but that he was identifying an important difference between the two approaches.
Fortunately, Joseph Fielding McConkie, professor emeritus of ancient scripture at BYU, helps us in making the scriptures more understandable with his latest book, Between the Lines: Unlocking Scripture with Timeless Principles (Honeoye Falls, NY: Digital Legend, 2009).
What I like most about this book is that it forced me to think about how we read and study the scriptures. Sometimes in order to focus our thoughts, it is important to consider how and why we do a routine thing such as studying the scriptures. McConkie is not interested in "procedures," such as what color of pencils one use to mark the scriptures or whether one should mark the scriptures at all. His goal is to enhance our study by providing "timeless principles that facilitate sound scriptural understanding" (viii).
The book contains more than just ideas about scripture understanding. There are also concrete suggestions. For example, the author suggests that we take advantage of "various study Bibles" (29). He enjoys "the help of an Archaeological Study Bible, The Jewish Study Bible, The Catholic Study Bible, and a variety of Protestant study Bibles" (29) and even provides a brief list of such study Bibles in the section "Sources" (165–66).
There are some light-hearted moments scattered throughout the book as the author has some fun pointing out rather common practices that we have engaged in through the years that may in fact have diverted us from understanding the scriptures. It may be healthy to laugh at ourselves from time to time, especially when we consider that we all have likely endured our "fair share of scripture abuse" (viii). I recommend this book to all who want to improve the quality of their scripture study and teaching.

Simple Green Chili Salsa
Have you ever had a week when things just didn't go as planned?? Yeah, well welcome to my last week!
My family was in town… the whole gang; my Mom, Dad, Sis, and bro-in-law. It was great to have them all here together and we had lots of fun, but I guess you could say I sorta got "distracted".
My plan was to take pictures and post the recipes I made while they were here. I was even planning on shooting a video with my Dad (I thought that was a fun idea), but some how it just never happened. Sure we cooked, but I never got around to the "taking the picture and posting the recipe" part.
Oh well, what can I say, life just doesn't always go as planned… it was good fun and that's what counts, right?!
But here's to a new week and new recipes!!!
This is really quick and easy recipe for Green Chili Salsa. I served it with Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchilada's, both of which are from a gluten free blog called, "Karina's Kitchen".
I made a few minor changes in the recipe to adjust it to my personal prefrences, but overall all of the delicious credit goes to Karina.
So whether you are Gluten-Free or not, you have got to be sure to get over there and check out some of Karina's jaw dropping recipes, they are to die for!
Simple Green Chili Salsa
Yield: 2 1/2 cups of salsa (10-1/4 cup servings)
- 2 cups of canned green chili's (I like spicy)
- 4 oz can of diced jalapeno peppers
- ½ of a white onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp of arrowroot powder (or corn starch) dissolved in a little bit of water
- 2 cups of veggie broth
Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and allow for about 20-30 minutes.
You just want to allow the onion and garlic to cook while all of the flavors come together…yum!

Parliamentary sovereignty, the principle Parliament can make or unmake any law it chooses, is a bedrock principle in the British constitutional system. But what if Parliament chooses to pass a law dissolving marriages between blacks and whites? Or a law that confiscated the property of all red haired women? Can the court overrule such unjustifiable, unfair and irrational statutes?
Lord Neuberger, Master of the Rolls, last Monday gave the Weedon Lecture advocating the principle of absolute Parliamentary sovereignty. The speech is available here, a summary here and a commentary by Adam Wagner here, so I will not elaborate on what was said. Whilst his argument is true to the extent that absolute Parliamentary sovereignty does remain intact, this has to be understood against the constitutional landscape. And that landscape is one which is increasingly rights-based, which has an effect on what Parliament does.
There is no doubt Parliamentary sovereignty remains intact. Judges have generally expressed support for it. Lord Neuberger gives examples in his speech, and his words themselves are a further example of judges endorsing it. Indeed, I understand Lord Justice Laws, a key proponent of the view that Parliamentary sovereignty may be limited by a higher order law, retracted that view at the ALBA Conference 2008 (though I have not personally found a transcript of this).
A convincing understanding of Parliamentary sovereignty comes from Jeff Goldsworthy who claims it exists because of a consensus between judges, Parliament and the government that it should. It, therefore, can only change where this consensus agrees that it should change. This has not occurred.
However, despite Parliamentary sovereignty theoretically remaining, there is no doubt it exists in a changing constitutional culture, where rights are taking an increasing hold. This is most notable in the Human Rights Act.
Under this Act, any legislation passed by Parliament must be accompanied by a statement from a Minister that the Bill either complies or does not comply with the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). Whilst the provision does not limit Parliament's discretion to pass any legislation, it draws attention if the legislation does not comply with the ECHR. Indeed, only one statute has passed where a statement was given that its contents were not compatible with the ECHR; even then, the government went to lengths to satisfy the Joint Committee on Human Rights the bill was legitimate.
The Act also allows the court to issue a declaration that any law is incompatible with the ECHR. This is, notably, not a power to strike down and declare legislation void, rather a power to issue a statement that the law does not meet ECHR standards. But the cultural effect of this provision is clear. As of 2009 (I could not find a later data compilation), seventeen declarations had become final. Of these fourteen were remedied, for two there is consideration of remedial methods and for one there is public consultation underway. It seems unlikely Parliament would lightly challenge a declaration of incompatibility.
The provisions, of course, allow Parliament to pass any legislation without fear the courts will strike it down, and in any event Parliament may repeal the Human Rights Act removing these provisions altogether. However there is certainly a trend towards a rights-based constitution, and Parliament would most likely struggle to pass anti-rights law.
Away from the Human Rights Act, the common law has had an increasing rights culture. For example in Simms, Lord Hoffmann stated that individual rights may only be limited by Parliament with "express words". The courts are reluctant to find Parliament has limited rights.
The real test for Parliamentary sovereignty only arises where Parliament passes a morally abhorrent, unjustifiable and completely irrational law, like the examples given at the outset. Until that time, which probably will never happen, the question over who really is the master will remain unanswered. Oh, the uncertainties of an unwritten Constitution!

By tully | "Boredom at Its Boredest" by Michael Tully June 28, 2007 at 2:12AM
Read this piece written by Richard Yates biographer Blake Bailey concerning the long-brewing big screen adaptation of REVOLUTIONARY ROAD. For the record, I'm still obsessing over this situation.
I was going to write my own poem called "Self-Portrait at 33" today, but then I realized that it would be too depressing. Instead, I will link to this poem by David Berman, which is one of my all-time favorites.
Then watch this, just to get a taste of Danny R. McBride before he becomes the next official Hollywood megastar (which has already happened, it's just that nobody knows it yet):
[NOTE: I just realize that embedding that one short funked up my program, so I'm going to link to it right here and embed another clip instead. This footage, shot by Todd Rohal in Holland, captures the twisted magic of Danny as well as anything ever will...]

Re: Your first gig experience.
I had to think about this one for a while. I had done a lot of playing in front of people in a school setting, but my first proper gig came after I got out of school.
I had started working in a music store, and one day a co-worker came up to me and said "we need a drummer, you're in our band." So we went over to his buddies house and jammed. No audition, no asking me if I even liked the music, we just went and did it. It was a mix of originals and some quirky covers. Then it was announced we had a gig at some bar. So I went and did it. The gig went well enough I suppose. I can't recall if we got paid, I think we did, but I'm really not sure.
But then the "musical differences" conversation came up a few days later, and we agreed to part ways amicably.
My 2nd gig went about the same way. Some guy wondered into to where I was working and asked me if I could jam with him. He'd give me gas money to drive out to where ever and we'd jam for a while on some songs he had written. I didn't really dig it, but I had nothing better going on at the time, and it was a good excuse to just get some playing under my belt. It was also easy, because he never would stick to any one arrangement. The chorus was whenever he decided we were going to the chorus, and the next verse was whenever he got tired of the chorus. No rhyme or reason to his songs. Next thing I know, he booked us at some bar I had never heard of. We would get the door, and split it between the "band members". Some how he dragged in a bass player and 2nd guitarist to the gig. One person came, my mother, who paid $2 to get in. So my cut was 50 cents. haha.

Life expectancy still on rise, data shows
Posted: October 25, 2013|
Comments (0)
LIFE expectancy for men and women continues to rise, according to figures.
Babies born from 2010 to 2012 can now expect to live to 79 if they are boys and 82.8 if they are girls.
This is up on the last figures, calculated for babies born from 2009 to 2011, of 78.7 for boys and 82.6 for girls.
The new data, which covers England and Wales, also shows that the gap between life expectancy at birth between boys and girls has narrowed from six years in 1980-82 to less than four years in 2010-12.

Game Review By: Mr. Roboto
Release date: September 14, 2010
Developed by: Puny Human Games
Platforms: Steam / Half-Life 2
Versions reviewed: 1.3
Official site: Dystopia
Degree of Cyberpunk Visuals: Very High
Correlation to Cyberpunk Themes: Very High
Overview: Seems every time I do a game review, someone has to mention Dystopia. Well, I've heard your voices and checked it out. I can definitely say that Dystopia indeed needs to be reviewed.
I've been sort of reluctant to do a review because, unlike G String, Dystopia is strictly a multiplayer mod and lately there haven't been many servers in operation to play. But maybe once this review is seen by able fans, there may be more servers going online.
The Story: Dateline 2069: After a series of wars, recessions, mergers, etc., governments have practically vanished as corporations now run everything. Anti-corporate resistance exists as mercenary "punks" have taken up arms against the private security "corp" forces seeking to bring law and order to the chaos of the arcologies.
There's no "I" in "team."
To survive in Dystopia, you need to rely not only on your own skills in FPSs, but in your teammates whether they be corp agents or punk mercenaries. First of all, once you log into a server and select a map, you have to decide if you want to be corp or punk. Then you need to decide which of the three classes you want to be. The light class has little armor and has to rely on speed and stealth to survive. Fortunately, they also have four implant slots to augment their stealthiness. Heavy classes don't have implant options, but their firepower options really don't require augmentation. Medium class is a balance of the others, with two implant slots available.
Now you can select from the weapons and implants available to your selected class.
From there, all you need to do is complete the objectives shown within the time limit to win.
Lone wolves need not apply. Dystopia is very much a multiplayer mod. Single players will be out of luck in playing, unless they can set up a server where only one player can log in… or develop bots that can act as allies/enemies. There is a tutorial that shows the basics, but you'll only be able to experience it as a corp "light shotgun decker" (light class with a shotgun and deck, working for the corps).
Not too long ago, there used to be a couple of dozen servers available to play on. You might even find a few without anyone logged in so you can explore the maps and practice against the automated defenses by your lonesome, until someone logs in as an opposing player. Recently, there have only been one server (if any) with only one map at a time available. That might be due to my timing, as I do work a forty-hour work week.
Conclusion: It's hard for a long-time solo player to get into a game like Dystopia, especially one who's deathmatch experience comes from Quake Reaper-bots. For fans of cyberpunk, the atmosphere and background just might be what brings those soloists into the multiplayer venue (unless they're trapped in Neocron for some odd reason). Though a single-player campaign or career would be nice.
In the mean time, how about setting up some servers so we can get into the Dystopian groove, K?

VESTAL, N.Y. – Shaunna Kaplan (Framingham, Mass.) tallied a career-high eight points with three goals and a personal best of five assists to propel the 18th-ranked University of New Hampshire women's lacrosse team to a 21-9 victory against Binghamton University in Saturday afternoon's regular-season finale at the Bearcats Sports Complex.
UNH won its third consecutive game to improve to 11-6 overall and 4-2 in America East. Binghamton ends its season at 3-13, 0-6.
In addition to Kaplan, who extended her point-scoring streak to 10 games and also recorded four draw controls and a caused turnover, four 'Cats finished with multiple points. Michaela Hardy (Reading, Mass.) equaled her season high of five points with four goals and an assist and Hayley Rausch (Severna Park, Md.) recorded a personal-best four points by matching her career high of three goals and adding an assist. Ashley Durepo (Concord, N.H.) scored three goals and Deb Dale (East Northport, N.Y.) netted two goals.
UNH starting goalkeeper Kate Gunts (Wilton, Conn.) yielded six goals and made three saves in the first half to earn the victory; she was also credited with three ground balls. Nikki Hume (Hampton, N.H.) played the second half and stopped four of seven shots on goal. Also noteworthy for the Wildcats was the line for Ilana Cohen (Andover, Mass.), who tallied one goal, five draw controls and three ground balls.
Bearcats' goalie Lauren Scott made five saves and surrendered 20 goals in 44 minutes, 31 seconds of action. Emily Miller turned aside two of the three shots on goal she faced in 15:29. Their attack was led by Kate Tesi (2g, 1a), Meg Brown (2g) and Ali Castiglie (2a).
After Binghamton answered each of UNH's initial two goals of the game, the Wildcats scored three consecutive goals to build a 5-2 lead. The Bearcats pulled within 7-5, but New Hampshire scored two of the next three goals to extend its advantage to 9-6. UNH then closed the first half on a 3-0 run to take a 12-6 lead into halftime and opened the second half with eight consecutive goals to put the game out of reach.
The Wildcats finished the game with advantages in shots (35-23), ground balls (14-12) and draw controls (22-10).
Durepo opened the game scoring with an unassisted tally at 25:11, but Tesi pulled the home team even, 1-1, just 20 seconds later. Hardy put UNH back in front, 2-1, with her unassisted goal at 23:26, but once again the Bearcats had a quick response as Brown struck 15 seconds later.
Hardy netted her second goal of the game, this time on a free-position shot, at 22:12 to give the Wildcats a lead they would not relinquish. Rausch then scored consecutive goals 71 seconds apart – first with Hardy's assistance at 19:13 and then at 18:02 off a pass from Kaplan – to push the lead to 5-2.
Lizzie Wright ended the spurt with a goal at 17:46 to lift BU within 5-3, but goals by Hardy and Beth Sabiston (Bay Shore, N.Y.) at 16:23 and 14:43, respectively, gave UNH a 7-3 advantage.
Castiglie then set up goals by Tesi and Emily Thon in a 20-second span – at 12:38 and 12:18 – to quickly pull the Bearcats within 7-5.
The momentum swing was shortlived, however. UNH called time out and Cohen controlled the ensuing draw, which led to Kaplan's goal at 12:02. Durepo's second tally of the day, this time on a free position, pushed the advantage to 9-5 at 7:01.
Lis Zuern's goal at 4:46 decreased Binghamton's deficit to 9-6, but UNH also proved resilient with three goals in a 44-second span to quickly push the score to 12-6. Kaplan won possession on the ensuing draw control following Zuern's goal and Kate Keagins (Bay Shore, N.Y.) scored a free-position goal at 4:27. Kaplan then set up Rausch's third goal of the game (at 4:00) and scored her second of the game at 3:43 to close the first-half scoring.
Hardy (28:06) and Cohen (27:44) opened the second-half scoring with free-position goals to give UNH a 14-6 lead. Kaplan then set up the next three goals by Dale (27:35), Durepo (24:18) and Dale (21:58) to push the advantage to double digits.
JoJo Curro (Amherst, N.H.), with the assistance of Rausch, scored at 20:40 and Kaplan netted her third of the game 63 seconds later to give the Wildcats a 19-6 lead.
Susie Piotrkowski (Franklin, Conn.) scored the last of UNH's 11 consecutive goals at 18:11, then Binghamton's Riley Newman (16:16), Melissa Jaworski (11:36) and Brown (7:23) scored to trim the deficit to 20-9.
Sarah Von Bargen (East Setauket, N.Y.), UNH's leader in goals and points, recorded her only point of the game with a goal at 5:37 to close the game scoring.
New Hampshire will be making its league-record 12th consecutive appearance in the America East Championship tournament this season. The third-seeded Wildcats will play second-seeded University at Albany (9-7, 4-2) in an April 30 semifinal game at Boston University's Nickerson Field. Game time is 3:30 p.m. The winner of that semifinal will advance to the May 2 (1 p.m.) league title game. The winner of the tournament will receive an automatic berth to the NCAA Championship.
Tickets, available day of games, are $8 for adults, $5 for youth under 14 and $2 for all America East students with valid school ID. Live stats will be available for all three games, while the championship contest on Saturday will be streamed live at the America East Zone in partnership with Pack Network.

Back to School Battle Important to Future of Maryland State Fair
Updated: Thursday, August 21 2014, 08:35 PM EDT
Just as organizers with the Maryland State Fair were busy putting the final touches on the festivities, students, parents, teachers and school bus drivers were busing prepping to go back to the classroom.
Max Mosner is director of the fair and has often hoped school officials would reconsider the early start date.
"It would be meaningful to the economy, it would meaningful to tourism, and it certainly would be meaningful to us," Mosner said.
This year Mosner served on a statewide task force created to study the potential for pushing back the school year until after Labor Day. Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot says it would be a big boost for businesses in Ocean City, and could generate more than $50 million in additional tourism revenue.
It remains to be seen whether pushing back the school calendar would actually boost attendance at the state fair, but students say they wouldn't mind extending summer just a little bit.
